[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ineptone:
Rooted my Telus Desire on Sunday using unrevoked 3 method and discovered SuperUser and BusyBox did not install. Followed directions and attempted to install BusyBox via market and that failed. Then installed Root Checker from market to verify root and verified that root was successful (Titanium Backup installed/worked). Tried BusyBox again and it failed saying "the application failed, either because your device is not nand unlocked or we were unable to remount."

I would appreciate any clarity that can be offered and any advice on how to proceed to gain NAND access/full root so I can better understand where I went wrong and have a better knowledge base before proceeding further with future rooting/custom ROMs.

Thank you.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] status_six:
Are you able to install the latest BB via Titanium? Open application and click on problems, then get busybox. If rooted that should work fine.

Maybe a problem with the market?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ineptone:
Thanks for the response, Stringer7. I appreciate it.

I tried what you suggested and when I open "problems?" in Titanium the option to "get BusyBox" is not there. Titanium opens a "Troubleshooting" overlay and gives the options "See Wiki", "Preferences", and "Upgrade Superuser". I tried upgrading superuser, which re-routes me to the market, but installation fails (with no explanation) and there is not option to get BusyBox in the preferences anywhere.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] status_six:
Ok. Do you know the version of unrevoked used? There are numerous threads about people having issues with 3.3 - 3.2.1 seems to be preferable, you might Google to see if anyone has a copy of this version.

Also, do you have working recovery? Again, people report problems with clockwork 3 versions and 2.5.0.7 seems issue free. Also is your desire PVT4? If so you have to install AmonRa not clockwork.

You can check for pvt and recovery by entering bootloader - power off then press power whilst holding volume down key.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhonybravo4u:
Well.. i have PVT4 and I am using CWM.. so that should not be a problem.

But you 1st suggestion is correct.. Use the old version of Unrevoked and you will be able to get through.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhonybravo4u:
You can try this

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thomasaanderson:
This worked.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ineptone:
Stringer7, Unrevoked was version 3.32 according to the info pain and ClockworkMod Recovery is v2.5.0.7. Also, bootloader shows the phone as being PVT3. I also scoured Google searches for 3.21 and could only find it for Windows and, unfortunately for me apparently, I am Mac user.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] status_six:
Hmm, ok. Everything works right now though? I mean you have a working phone (rom) and recovery? If so, you could do nandroid backup and try to flash rom of your choice after full wipe in recovery. When you rooted, there weren't any "failed to get root - is your firmware too new" or similar messages were there?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ineptone:
Everything is working exactly as it did prior to rooting. During the process there were no error messages or anything indicating the root could not be completed properly.

With respect to the nandroid backup, is that possible despite not having full nand access, as is the case, and would the full wipe in recovery result in a loss of all data/apps/contacts on the phone?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] status_six:
Yes you can nandroid backup from there, and you can save all your contacts to your Google account, and backup/ restore apps via Titanium.

I now use Google's cloud backup (you are prompted about this when you first register your Google account after flashing rom). Didn't need titanium at all when I last switched rom!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] SummonerOfDeath:
Hi out there,

A friend of mine has got a milestone (gsm) and problems with flashing recovery and custom rom.

he says he has got root, but when he tries to flash recovery it says "no root rights" (via root console with su). moreover, his recovery is a .zip and not a .img which i was used to (am a htc hero owner). through not having custom recovery, he cant install custom roms, seems like no root on boot.

anyone can help? as the procedure on htc hero seems to be completely different i cant help him, will give him this link so he can see :)

thank you,

SummonerOfDeath

[Droid X General] Jubakuba:
So, for the longest time...my mom has been claiming that she cannot answer phone calls on her DX.

The general custom would be to call her, let it ring a couple times, hang up, and wait for her to call back.

I mean this has been going on since she first got the phone.

A year ago.

Turns out...I was showing her a feature of gingerbread (text reply after ignored call) and I'm sitting next to her...and I call her.

She taps the red tab.

"No mom, ignore the call."

She taps it again.

"Mom...are you serious?"

(getting frustrated with my condescending remark) "OK! WHAT AM I DOING WRONG!?"

She didn't realize those were sliders...all this time...holy ****.
[Droid X General] zwade01:
Lmfaooo that is great! That would totally be my mom if she ever even got an Android phone lol...
[Droid X General] Jubakuba:
I was raving about the X a few months before it came out...

And she ordered one and got it on the release date, same as me.

She has a total of about 10 non-stock applications...

One of them being launcher pro that I FINALLY convinced her to use.

I'm curious what the appeal is if she literally only uses it as a phone.

No browser use...never checks for application updates...

Silly woman. Love 'er to death, but man...

[HTC Inspire 4G] Racing666:
I have a rooted Inspire and just today it is offering a software update. When I try to do it, All I get is the android icon with a triangle with exclamation point on it. Pulled battery, rebooted phone but it is still bugging me to update. I wanna get rid of it. How??
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nickovtyme:
The easiest way is to back up all your stuff and flash this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1058042

Its a rooted Stock ROM with the update.

That or flash any of the ROM's from the Dev section.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nickovtyme:
I should add that once you download it, rename it PD98IMG.zip and put in the root of your SDcard. Check MD5 Sums and if they match up, power down your device, then boot into hboot (vol down + Power).

Let the bootloader find the image and then volume up to update.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Racing666:
Thanks for the help! You would think being an A+ and DELL certified computer technician, I could figure this Android stuff out but it's a whole different world. I appreciate the help and look forward to many more here.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Or at least be able to do a search for the answer to an extremely common question first. ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] magnumrt562:
God forbid you ask a question on the General Forums... Welcome to the asshole filled world of XDA buddy! I can't wait for the Mango Phone 7 update!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Racing666:
True, you do have a slight point but I've noticed that the search around here works about as well as every other forum. You do a search for something and you get hundreds of results that have no bearing on what you actually searched for.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
Hey, what's wrong with spending 2 hours going thru a 200 page thread looking for an answer that someone can answer in 2 minutes. LOL.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
Hey, what's wrong with spending 5 mins to read the Forum Rules, and actually abide by them? LOL
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
So, you search first and don't find it, what is one to do? Seems no one is welcome, unless you are flashing a new rom everyday. LOL.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
If you search and don't find it your not reading, by going to the search function in the general forum, and typing in update ( just update nothing else) it will pull up about 8 threads dedicated to what this thread is about.

Everyone is welcome, and we enjoy helping someone when they follow the rules of the forum, which includes actually trying to search for an answer like most of us have, instead of asking someone to hand it to them.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
LMAO. :D

Perfect.

This post gets a thanks button push.

Most people, I'm guessing, don't realize that there are 2 search boxes. The top one searches the entire board. The lower one searches recursively from your current location.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Quite true. There are also people who are well aware of the browser version of the sites two search boxes, and long for the day when the XDA app will be a fully functional alternative.

XDA is a lot quicker for reading, but can't do some important tasks that are important to a serious XDA member...

Robust thread search, thanks button, easy copy of thread url for pasting into posts, etc.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
For the most part, I see those posts get answers anyways. Even if it isn't from a frustrated veteran, there usually someone that just learned it themself that is willing to help. Trust me, I understand the frustration, but when you go to the stickies and see the guides and videos say they are outdated, you start to wonder if the answer you found is outdated too. I think many find it more reasurring if they can get a more current and direct answer.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nickovtyme:
I think I gave the same answer for each one of those threads too. ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
The only reason they are outdated, is because the hack, gets updated once a month, and its one version 11 so there would need to be at least 11 videos, for each version of the hack kit, which would require unrooting the phone then downloading the hack kit (every time), then making a video. That is pretty time consuming.

The reason the outdated videos are posted, is an effort to educate people, on what they are doing, even if the hack kit has changed a little bit it still gives you a general idea of how it works.

With that said, this very topic, is covered in the f.a.q. of the guide, I updated about 3 weeks ago when the ota update came out, and there was 4 threads saying "my update failed and I'm rooted".
[HTC Inspire 4G] Racing666:
Apparently I do not know how to read.
[HTC Inspire 4G] zuriken:
Gone are the days when Autoexec.bat and Config.sys actually meant something :P
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
But there are certain questions that the solutions for don't get obsolete, and that you don't need updated techniques to solve, that are asked over and over again. They're the same answers that haven't changed over the 5000 times they've been asked.

In regards to outdated videos/info, Attn1, the respected maker of the hack kit, specifically refuses to create or endorse videos created for his hack kit, for precisely this reason... It may become obsolete and cause more problems than following his official instructions in his thread/current hack kit.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
Ok. Darn, having a visual makes understanding things so much easier.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
I agree 100%. I used the simple root method by bubby, which has an accompanying video that is relevant and is actually endorsed in the op of that thread.

I used that video myself, and it definitely filled in some question marks for me while doing that rooting method.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Racing666:
I know this is unrelated, but if I flash the radio with the recommended one, will that increase signal strength at all? It seems like since I went with the [ROM] Ace_Cingular_US_1.84.502.11-Radio-26_06_06 _30_M, my signal has been very touchy. Also, what is the recommended radio for this ROM? I am currently running 12.39a.60.19U_26.06.06.30_M.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nickovtyme:
That's it. The Stock ROM has the recommended radio bundled in it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
I am not exactly sure what you are asking, but from what I gather you already have the "stock" radio and your running the "stock" rooted rom, which the stock radio would be the recommended radio.

Now what you can do is go to the dev section, and the inspire radio thread, and try flashing a different radio along with the ril.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Racing666:
The question is basically will it increase the signal strength at all. Like right now at work my phone is showing no service but the guy next to me with an iPhone4 has 3-4 bars constant.
[HTC Inspire 4G] g3ismeee:
I was finally going to pull the trigger last night and root my Inspire after 4 weeks ownership. Well I did pull the trigger. Got my PC updated with latest .FrameworkNet, agonized over which method to use (have watched the vids several times even if outdated), downloaded everything I believe I would need from pouring over this forum since a couple weeks before even obtaining the handset, turned off the firewall, which is routinely my only virus protection for years without an issue, made ultra sure Defender turned off also...chose bubby''s method...first command in the script I executed to wipe my SD card...failed within 1 second (error message with the microsoft spash / radio button choice to report the error or not)...then chickened out and didn't try further ahahahah....I have a fairly dated PC (Dell 1GHz Inspirion XP laptop), which could be an issue. I have stripped a lot of bloat processes out of it to get it to run the way I want. OT: anyone here use a really dated Windows XP PC to do all your rooting / ROM flashing tasks? Any issues with that?...Maybe jsut eff this whole windows thing and install some form of Linux on this thing is one of my thoughts...
[HTC Inspire 4G] Racing666:
Just put my sim card in my old Motorola KRZR and it instantly picks up Edge signal with 4 out of 5 bars while in the same spot, my Inspire has no service whatsoever. I think I am beginning to realize that this phone in general is garbage. I have had it replaced 3 times now because of signal issues.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
Use the hack kit its easier.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
Yes/no I know vague

Flashing a new radio along with matching ril may or may not improve cell signal. Every phone is different and every radio acts differently on every phone. The only way to find out is to try.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Racing666:
And right now, my phone has not moved at all and I have H+ 3 bars and -97dBm 8 asu lol....whereas 5 minutes ago I have NO service... haha this is ridiculous lol

EDIT: 2 minutes later, NO SERVICE again. Signal strength 0 HSDPA mode...

EDIT AGAIN: 3 minutes later, 3 bars of E service, -95dBm 9 asu, then it drops to 0 and no service again. This phone is Bi-Polar I think.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nickovtyme:
W

What you might also try is boot into recovery and format/wipe everything. System, data, cache, dalvik...everything but your card. Then flash the pd98img.zip again....there might be something from the previous ROM/Radio conflicting.

You're lucky your replacement had 2.2! I'm worried now that if i have any trouble with my evo and need to get it replaced or worked on, that it'll end up being updated in the process, and not rootable. I hope that doesn't happen before a new root exploit is found.
