My guess is yes. But don't flash it.. it doesn't matter if its said to be equipped with unicorns and leprechauns - its full of bad news write-protected bears. Don't flash it.

These untouched roms should be renamed to I-Want-to-Brick-my-Phone.zip - they are useful for the radio, radio libs and other extract, mount as loop device and poke around business.

Do we know if that still has a kernal that is not "clockable" or are we able to over clock it now?

Edit:

I think I answered my own question. I installed SetCPU and it won't let me go any higher then the regular 806 max. So my new question is, do we have a safe way to enable clocking yet?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s0epkip:
Nope, no 35.x overclocking kernel yet..... We'll have to wait for a GB Sense kernel :(

How do I install this rom?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
If you don't know you shouldn't be messing around with it. Look for the recovery flashable one rmk40 made. That one is more user friendly.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Max):
It loads the card, check it, then do nothing and return to bootloader menu.

Any ideas (pictures included)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
Could be because your CID is different, not sure what CID is in the rom.

Use gfree to get S-Off.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Max):
I'm ok now, I have installed Clockwork Mod and use the Pre-Root version!

Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] osupra:
I installed the pc10img.zip before the flashable version came out... How do I go about restoring back to normal? (Having root,clockworkmod recovery and such? I lost it all) I tried to flash a new recovery through adb but my device isn't coming up on the list.. can't flash clockwork through my terminal nor use the Rom manager without su... Can someone help?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
Look at threads that walk you through downgrading and using gfree.

bootanimation

Though the fact that there is no overclocking kernel yet iritates me to no end, I've been playing with this ROM a lot more then the CM7 lately and I was trying to change the bootanimation today and couldn't figure it out and I finally found the file to replace today which is located in

/system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip

Also the sound file for the bootanimation is in the same folder but named android_audio.mp3, so I'm guessing if you were to replace that file you could add your own sounds to whatever boot animation you decide to put there. Hope someone finds this of use.

Oh and if you start playing around with new boot animations and want the one that came with the rom back I extracted them and their attached.

I kidna wanna try out this ROM. the question is though since my firmware was downgraded for rooting and Virtuous/CM7, any way I can throw this on and go back to stock firmware / OTA updates. If we're getting Gingerbread I'd like to see if the stock Bell config is halfway decent with Gingerbread.

Issue

Hi all,

I have tryed flashing the gingerbread rom. But when i go into recovery to install recovery.img i get the following error messages:

E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command and --invalid operation--

Is there a way to solve this issue???
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BlackElvis79:
Flash it via fastboot (bootloader). Go to bootloader, then fastboot, then on your computer enter "fastboot flash recovery (w/e recovery your flashing).img" enter.

You may need to flash the engineering SPL first tho for fastboot to work.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] darks1der:
i dont understand:confused: what you mean could you please explain.

I have tryed using the commands in adb but they are not recognized
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] iDAREK:
Is there another method to put this firmware without rooting? Or we need to do this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] darks1der:
I ran into alot of issues trying to install a rom without having my phone rooted and s-off. You really need CWM recovery to install the rom otherwise htc recovery will just block it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Goozy:
Yes, I am wondering the same thing. I currently have perm s-off and CM7 installed. Can I revert back to CM7 after trying this out?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdKeys:
You should get the rom from this thread instead:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Goozy:
I already tried that rom yesterday, but I wanted to know if I can flash the rom posted in the link since I wanted the entire package with radio and all.

SO, will flashing this rom remove my s-off? and will I be able to revert back to another rom?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] darks1der:
Clockwork mod recovery

If you flash the full rom in the link you will lose you're s-off. i would advice you to only flash the system image though rom manager. Select install rom from sd card and then select you zip file. This will take you to the clockwork mod recovery. (if you don't have it check out this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=900460. i hope this was usefull
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Goozy:
Yes that helps, thank you. I was just a bit confused since some people said they flashed this and still had s-off. Anyways thanks for the info
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] darks1der:
There are some methods to keep your s-off and one of them is by just flashing the sytem image. I had the issue that i flashed a full rom including radio and recovery. After doing this i lost my s-off and my clockwordmod recovery.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lainvalenajr:
I think the gfree method keeps you S-off
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s0epkip:
If you flash the RMK version it wil NOT remove S-Off if you have it and you WILL be able to flash other ROMs afterwards.

could pls someone explain me, step to step, how to make it work on my desire z ..

(didn't root it yet ... but i read, that it wouldnt be necessary for this version?!)

Thx
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] iDAREK:
1. You need to change software version to 1.33.405.5

2. Then downgrade current firmware to 1.34

3. Next, you need to make a root - S=Off

4. Then you can put new firmware to your phone.

ps. You don't need to put clockwork recovery to do this.

Here is all that you need in polish. Cannot find this right now in English, co simple use google translate. Helpfull info could be found also here.

is this for G2 Tmobile or Z, if i flash this rom it will wip everything or what? and if it does wip is there any update for unroot because this for my wife. i really don't know much about G2 so i don't know how it works. I don't want to lose anything from her phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] iDAREK:
1. both

2. yes, it wipe everything on phone memory (not on microSD)

3. unroot? i don't know it will be possible with this room with 2.3.3, becouse it is a test room with S=Off (root) enabled for default.
[Thunderbolt General] egeorgia:
So after I tried to root I had to put the stock rom back on. Now when I try to update my prl at *228 it says call ended right after it tries to dial. Any ideas ?
[Thunderbolt General] pmdied:
I don't think you have to do this with the Thunderbolt. The SIM card should take care of it.
[Thunderbolt General] jmiller98:
According to vzw there is no need to update the prl, as it is done auto when the phone is restarted.
[Thunderbolt General] jr313:
you cannot dial *228 with the TB..it does the updates automatically with the sim card...i thought i read some where that dialing it could mess up your sim some how...
[Thunderbolt General] ProTekk:
Misconception. The phone is smart enough not to let the call go through. Go ahead, try to. It won't.
[Thunderbolt General] ckochinsky125:
Yeah verizon said not to dial that because with some it was ruining the sim cards.
[Thunderbolt General] worm-:
Yeah not true. Is not the phone stopping you from dialing 228, three actual network its stopping you. The first few days you could dial it and it would nuke your sim card.

Sent from the Ole TB
[Thunderbolt General] mexiken:
There is no point to program the phone as the SIM provides the provisioning of features and activation OTA, automagically. It programs when you first turn the phone on, this is a network feature. Furthermore, it shouldn't lose the programming as suscriber info is stored on the SIM itself and would be read by the phone on boot up if no provisioning is present.

And no, the *228 option, should you manage to make it complete a call, would not ruin a SIM card anyway.
[Thunderbolt General] BamaNZ:
there is no need to use *228, it's only ruining sim cards for representatives. Basically if we put the sim card in, don't activate in the system and dial *228 it sometimes fries 'em. This is nothing you as a user have to worry about.
[Thunderbolt General] egeorgia:
You guys rock ! Thank you for the quick replies. Thought I did something trying to root it.
[Thunderbolt General] heffe2001:
The tech at our local verizon dialed it at least a dozen times trying to activate my bolt on day 1 and my sim didn't get fried. Took several hours to fully activate though.
[Thunderbolt General] lordv8r:
The lady at Best Buy dialed it and it did kill the first sim card that they tried. They finally call Verizon and they were told to not dial it again becase of the chance of it killing the sim.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enigma0456:
I installed Z4 mod and ran it and it says my g-tab is rooted. I have read that custom ROMS are pre-rooted. In my limited linux experience - being root gives you total control over the machine. I ran Terminal Emulator and cd / to get me to the top of the file structure. I tried to mkdir test and I was denied because the file system is read only. Next I went into the system folder because a lot of stuff in there looks familiar. I again tried mkdir test and was denied because the file system is read only. It would seem that to be root I would need a password and Z4 didn't offer to give me one or let me set it. Thinking further, I wonder if the file system is mounted for read only and that is why I can't create a new directory. When I am running the rom (Vegan) I can write there (understanding that I am writing to the sdcard that is mounted - presumably with RW access. So, what is all this rooting talk about then? What is the purpose of being root if you still do not have access to the file system?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roebeet:
You need Superuser.apk, as well. Think of Superuser as similar to Windows UAC, and rooting as making yourself an administrator. Even though you have root (admin) access, UAC (Supeuser.apk) still needs to let you through.

You also need "root aware" apps. Perfect example is Titanium Backup and that's usually my "litmus test" for verifying if I really have root or not on a device.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rodzero:
yup, in my limited rooting experience (droid1 and gtablet), after the process, there was always a new icon in the app tray entitled "superuser". i didnt have to install it separately, it showed up after the rooting process. if you don't have the superuser app, im betting the root process was unsuccessful.

my memory tells me i had some problems with z4root rooting my tablet, and i had to do it a few times before it actually worked. that was back in december tho, so i dont know if the current version of z4 is different than the one i used, and if so, if kinks were worked out...

so yeah, i probably helped none. :o
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roebeet:
I always though z4root and Superuser were kind of a package deal.

I use them on my Cowon D3, as Cowon completely locks down their recovery process. boo to that.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] butchconner:
rodzero,

With z4root you install it first. Then, you install a file manager program like "Root

Explorer" and when it comes up you click to "Allow" it. After that, you can go in

through Root Explorer and create and change R/O to R/W as needed. Same same

with Titanium Backup, once you have "allowed" it you can do what you need

to with the program.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enigma0456:
More Investigation.

Thanks for the fast responses! I do have Superuser installed and it pops up from time to time when an app wants su access. Using terminal emulator, I worked my way into and what do I find but su! I ran su and got was granted su rights in the terminal. I felt pretty smug so I headed into the etc folder thinking I would make a simple change to the hosts file just to see if I could do it. I'm used to using nano in Ubuntu but no nano here. I tried vi (which I really don't know how to use) and I got some strange display but I don't think it was an editor. So, for the sake of closing the loop - if I wanted to edit the hosts file and add a new host - how would I do it. The Terminal Emulator now seems to be in the list to be granted su whenever I type it in. I know how to move around the file system. What kind of text editor would I invoke to actually alter the file? OK.... I went and downloaded TED and worked my way back to the hosts file, added a line but TED doesn't have su rights to save the file. So it looks like su exists but I don't see how to run an app in su mode except for terminal where I can invoke it by a text command. What's the missing piece to get TED to ask for su access?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roebeet:
Just a guess, but TED need to ask for elevation of privileges. It's probably an app issue.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T-Macgnolia:
Ok I sugest going back to the stock ROM for your HD2 as you can flash it via SD card anx make everything stock with ome flash. But if you want to go with a custom ROM I suvedt any oc the Energy ROMs they are great. You can flash either of the ROMs via SD card or just put your HD2 into bootloader and wait for Serial to change to USB in the white bar of bootloader and then flash the ROM of your choice. If you flash via USB with official ROM it willnot revert your HSPL to SPL bit via SD card it will. Here is a link to tbe thread on how to flash via SD card.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T-Macgnolia:
Fist off make sure not to confuss putting your HD2 into bootloader and preforming a manual hard reset. To hard reset you have to power on and hold both volume down and up buttons down and the tricolored bootloader will appear for a brief secound but then another screen with instructions will appear. To put it into bootloader just power on holding down the volume down button and you will get tbe bootloader.

Flash the radio you want either before or after you flash the ROM. It really does not matter wich it will still preform it's function the same. I suggest radio version 2.15.50.14 as it is the latest radio version. You don't just have to flash another radio though if you don't want to. I say if you are not having problems with your current reception then your current radio should do fine. You can flash the radio tbe exact same way as the ROM using your SD card. Just rename the .nbh file for the radio to leoimg.nbh and copy it to your SD card. Or you can flash it via USB cable and your computer by using bootloader.

I checked out the link you posted. To download the zip file for the ROM you have to lick on the appropriate download link with the flag that applies to you. Let the page fully load when you go to the first page of the thread and look for the download button links toward the bottom of post #2. You will have two zip files to choose from I would say go with the largest of the two files as it will probably be the one with the start button at the bottom of the screen. I can not be certain of this though as I have a TMOUS HD2 and can not flash the ROM to check.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piotrek255:
thanks for the reply, but i turned my phone to a brick yesterday before i read your post, turned out i didnt install HSLP (or something like that) which you need for installing new roms... immediately i went to a shop to get it fixed and luckily they had software that erased everything and installed original software
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T-Macgnolia:
Glad you got your HD2 up and running again. :) I was wondering though if you checked to see if you could still get the bootloader to come up by holding down the volume down button down while powering on? Reason why I ask is you said.

I think when you flashed the custom ROM with out HSPL it ran a task 28(it is some debate wich is bett3er task 28 or task 29) before trying to flash the ROM which removed the current ROM from your HD2 leaving it ROM less. If your HD2 was truly bricked the place you brought it to would have had to disassemble your HD2 to get the main board out so they could use a JTAG on it. For that is the only way to revive a truly bricked HD2. So you see I am afraid you paid someone for something you could have done yourself. But the whole point was to get your HD2 up and running again so it is probably worth it to you. Peace ;)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister B:
Get HSPL back on it, Follow Energy ROM recomendations regarding radio version & get 23699 ROM Dinik from ROM repository.

With a few aditional registry tweaks this is one of the best performing ROMs put together.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jigners:
2 ways mate:

1. enter bootloader (press and hold volume down then briefly press power menu)

and flash a custom ROM

2. if you follow other peoples advice here of flashing a stock ROM via sdcard,

you will loose HSPL. or you can just flash a stock ROM via USB method and

keep HSPL on your device.

I personally recommend step 1.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T-Macgnolia:
What I was refering to in my other post is this. I feel like the shop probably just ran a task 29 (Google task 29 for HTC HD2) and then just flashed the stock ROM for your HD2 Wich can be downloaded for free from XDA, HTC.com, and probably your carriers website. These are all things you can do yourself. But like I said if the shop had to take your HD2 apart you did theright thing.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piotrek255:

My usb port is very loose too, so I bought an external charger from amazon for about $18. It works like a charm. One drawback is that you have to run your battery completely dead to get a full/long lasting battery before you put it on the charger.
