Can someone please help a n00b out here .. ? :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guhl99:
Hi!

1. Yes you have to downgrade your version is 1.82

2. Yes, adb and fastboot are executable for you PC. Adb is part of the Android SDK and fastboot is a tool that you can get from here http://developer.htc.com/google-io-device.html

In the wiki there is also a link to the thread on how to use adb for noobs.

Have fun - Guhl
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I AM VS4:
Assuming that you are a noob, there is a forum for this. If you need help, respond to one of the forums regarding this topic. Not to be an A**hole but they will give you the best answers. There is a seperate forum for downgrading and rooting use the search bar at the top and reply to the corresponding forums, and you will be getting help from the best. Using this post will take long, plus after a few hours it will die behind to not be replied to. Take my advice. :)

Is it possible to install the new update with s-off. I have a stock rom and read the new update supposed to fix the battery threshold and I like the look. I know its not rootable yet but ive been reading some have been successful and just put amon ra recovery on it.Anyone know?

You can just get the rooted version of it on this site if you do the ota you will lose root and so far there is no way to get it back yet .
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
Why install the OTA when there are complete ROMS here that are better than what you're gonna have with stock 2.3.3???
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tempe38:
It is possible if you're s-off with Unrevoked Forever on Froyo. I had to switch to Amon Ra in order to install the update and then reflash Amon Ra after the update. Had to update Superuser after that but after that was fully rooted on the update.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BonkyMoon:
There are several stock rooted versions of the OTA available, there's no reason that you need to lose root just to have the latest update.

If you are keen on losing root though, then go for it. You can install it with S-Off just fine, and since it'll remain S-Off you'll be able to flash a recovery on there and re-root by flashing a rooted rom.

If your intent is to have the latest update but also have root, then just flash one of the already-rooted stock roms available in the Android Development forum.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mizzouse:
To hip kat, I actually don't like any custom roms, I'm an ogee only person and I tweak what I want or need myself. To tempe, how did you get clockwork off first assuming you had it? Also I used the unrevoked3 method but since mine is sprint, it automatically does a perm nand unlock.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tempe38:
Well, easiest is to just use Rom Manager to flash alternate recovery, that's what I did before running the OTA. After, you'll need to do it manually. If you search here on "recovery" you should find threads that have the pc36img.zip files for both Clockworkmod and Amon Ra. After installing the OTA, turn off the fastboot option under Settings/Applications. Copy the pc36img.zip file for the recovery you want to use to the SD card, shut down your phone and then hold volume down while turning it back on. Just follow the prompts on the screen from there. After the recovery is installed you should be able to boot up and have root. If the Superuser app give you FC's search around here for the fixed superuser zip and flash it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
You can go S-on with the Unrevoked S-On tool....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mizzouse:

Ok turns out im having problems installing the update, I forgot I deleted system apps. Here's the error:

assert failed: apply_patch_check /system/app/Blockbuster_htc.apk 2eE:unknown command etc etc, ideas?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
According to the error you posted, it's just the blockbuster app that your missing. Did you uninstall other system apps? Or just that. You need to have all your system apps installed for it to work. I'll attatch the blockbuster app for you. You'll need to install it to /system/app using ADB or using Root Explorer. If adb, do this

adb remount

adb push Blockbuster_htc.apk /system/app

adb reboot

If using root explorer, just copy the apk to the /system/app folder and set the permissions the same as all the other apps in the system folder.

Also, it would be much easier for you just to flash a rooted stock rom. Here's a link for ya. You'd just flash the rom like normal, from within recovery. It'd save you some hassle.

NOOOOO, you're not suppose to tell him..lol! I would of love for him to flash the new update and then complain about how he can't root his phone and how he wants to come back..haha

I've already chosen to just do the rooted ota but I'm trying to figure out if I need to flash the radio. The second link in the topic is showing 2.15.00.04.08 but mine is higher at 00.11.19. The combined link with pri and wimax is the one I don't know yet
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Branford:
I don't believe flashing the radio is necessary if you're doing the stock ota, I didn't have any issues with my current radio while I was using stock 2.3.3 (or any other ROM that I've used so far)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mizzouse:
Alright I did the de-odex rooted ota but now the problem is once booted up, I cant update the prl or profile, it gives me an error. Im re-wiping the dalvik cache to see if that fixes it but is there any other steps I should try?

Side question, is a stock rom that came with the phone or an ota update a odex or de-odex?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pnewgaard:
Thanks for this thread, I have been searching high & low to see if S-Off would stay off or automatically turn back on. Thanks for the clarification!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pnewgaard:
Verified!

I ended up testing myself to know for sure and S-Off will stay off if you do the OTA update. If you want to start rooting again, just download Amon_Ra Recovery, and Bam, flash any Rom you want! Thanks for the starting of the thread! Confirmed!

[Thunderbolt General] satseaker:
wouldnt it be good idea to make a sticky about the fact that titanium backup causes more problems than its good for,most of the posts i have read about probs have one thing in common they all tried to restore a titanium back up now this wont work and that fc's or it just wont stop rebooting, factory reset and flash seems to always work and if ya.want a different kernel let it boot one time then install the kernel,naturally after you wiped cache and delvik again. those two ways always seem to work

Never, ever restore system data. I bet if everyone that had a problem only hit "restore missing user apps" there wouldn't be a problem.
[Thunderbolt General] sublimaze:
Titanium backup rarely causes problems unless you restore system apps. Tibu is one of the most useful apps in the market, I would never discourage anyone from using it. It's especially helpful to have backups of an app that gets updated & then you find out the update breaks something or removes a good feature.
[Thunderbolt General] lynneddington:
Keep tb, lose rom manager
[Thunderbolt General] patdroid1:
restore missing apps and app data ONLY...never had a single problem the only system data i restore is the HTC desktop so i don't have to reconfigure my home screens...works like a charm
[Thunderbolt General] ridobe:
No problems here. You just have to be smart about what you restore. There is no "one click" method.
[Thunderbolt General] feedhead:
I think we are looking at user error ... but blame the software if you must.
[Thunderbolt General] velopirate:
As others have pointed out, I've never had an issue with Titanium Backup. Great software! Just do not restore system apps + data.
[Thunderbolt General] Bimmer323:
Ha, ditto.

Can we ditch rom manager or do you have to have it installed for CWR?
[Thunderbolt General] rotorocker:
now if only there was something for unrooted phones to backup before they root so they could avoid that initial loss
[Thunderbolt General] Powell730:
Lmao I literally almost said this exact post word for word in another thread.. even down to the works like a charm.
[Thunderbolt General] dms76:
I have had a problem with titanium backup, but it might be a setting. I restored using Titanium Backup from my Droid Incredible with no apparent issues to my 1st Thunderbolt. I did a backup w/ both Titanium and MybackupPro before swapping out my Thunderbolts. I always backup twice on my phones in case something goes wrong. Oh FYI it did go wrong before I returned the Thunderbolt I copied the MyBackup, but forgot the Titanium data. This is why i always double my efforts as I always forget something. :(

On my 2nd Thunderbolt I started to restore MyBackupPro data after unchecking everything that was a system app. I never looked into how to have MyBackupPro only copy user apps+data since I discovered Titanium. As soon as I went into Market Place multiple app updates downloaded.

For reasons that I am not sure why I decided to do it I did a hard reset to factory defaults. I copied my incredible data back over to the 2nd Thunderbolt and did a restore. None of the apps required updating from an older backup. I'm just wondering if something didn't restore correctly to market?
[Thunderbolt General] ridobe:
Thats funny because I was just reading that thread thinking "where the hell did my post go"?
[Thunderbolt General] cowisland:
This may be a dumb question, but should you let apps download automatically after a wipe / new Rom install, and then have TB restore some apps with user data I need? Or is it better the skip the automatic download altogether and restore everything through TB? Thanks!
[Thunderbolt General] ILMF:
I'm stock and rooted. Used ROM manager to install CWR, then Titanium Pro to uninstall ROM. :-)
[Thunderbolt General] ksmitchell:
The only issue I have had with titanium backup is that when I went to restore my apps and their data it did not seem to restore any of the data, just the apps. I was a little discouraged at first but then figured maybe the original location on my old droid X might have been different then where it is on the Thunderbolt. I doubt it but that's what I keep telling myself since the app data won't restore.
[Thunderbolt General] jrgalarza1:
Recently had problems with restoring app data as well...hmmm... In my case it is probably user error. :D
[Thunderbolt General] NotJustAPhone:
Without Titanium Backup, I would not be as willing to try new ROMs. As with all things relating to rooting and flashing custom ROMs, you have to learn how to use the tools and understand their limitations.
[Thunderbolt General] jschecter:
I've had the same problem when moving to a GB-based ROM. So what is this "user error" that we're committing?
[Thunderbolt General] ERIFNOMI:
It's up to you really but that's how I do it. Just restore the data to apps that need that data and you can restore apps that didn't D/l from market and Ti will link them to the market so you'll still get updates.

I have no problem with TiBackup restoring data. When I move to GB ROMs (maybe that's just coincidence) Ti 'forgets' my settings so I have to setup my custom labels and scheduled backups again. I used to backup and restore texts (which is system data) but since switching between Froyo and Gingerbread ROMs I've gotten a separate app to do that if I want to take my SMS/MMS to my new ROM. Never backup/restore system data. I wish there was a way to exclude system data in TiBackup without also excluding uninstalled.
[Thunderbolt General] satseaker:
ok so maybe its just a noob problem, i use no prob but alot of posts witj problems,guess it comes down to reading about what to and what not to restore
[Thunderbolt General] applejacks24:
Tb makes my life so much easier. Just read up on it a little and you won't have any problems.

[Thunderbolt General] satseaker:
damm theres that nasty four letter word again "read" 80% of the problems have all been talked about or explained in the op of the threads. like i said i use it no prob but others,no comment. seek and ye has find is a good motto to have if ya wanna learn this flashin stuff
[Thunderbolt General] v3rdict:
No problems here, ever. D1 to Dinc to Tbolt. The key is only restore apps and app data. Common sense. ;)
[Thunderbolt General] Jrocker23:
TB had data issues the last few days due to a bad update. The new update that was just released fixes it. you have to delete all backups and then rebackup again in most cases so the data can restore properly.
[Thunderbolt General] ksmitchell:
OK now since tb has been updated I was able to restore the app's data from my old droid x to the Thunderbolt.
[Thunderbolt General] farmboystrong:
TiB works great...Just dont restore system apps. i restore apps and data all the time. i did see an app on the market with similar function for non root users (although i forget the name)
[Thunderbolt General] nerozehl:
I never restore system data and I always restore application data and except for Titanium sometimes not recognizing that I've purchased it after a recent wipe, I've encountered no issues. (And this is one app that IMHO is well worth paying for, since you can do batch restore completely automated)
[Thunderbolt General] birddog79:
Anytime I flash a new Tom, the first thing I do is install TiB and then restart my phone. I then leave it alone for about 15 min and everything is set up as I had it before. Always seems pretty easy and straight forward to me. No problems or complaints at all.
[Thunderbolt General] eraursls1984:
I think this is a problem with the thunderbolt, I had the same issue but a few apps restored data correctly but most dont. I was able to restore launcher pro with the data from my X just fine but other apps won't restore data even some of the ones I backed up from my thunderbolt. However those apps restore fine when I put them on the X (my wife has my old X so I checked to see if it was a bad backup or the phone)
[Thunderbolt General] revaew:
Do you just backup your data and then install Tibet and let it rip? Is this because the backup is on the sd and wipping data for a new rom only wipes the phone's memory? I'm a bit confused with this part.

[Thunderbolt General] URPREY:
Would love it if you could remove the e911 icon in the status bar. It serves zero purpose and my OCD self is bothered by it LOL.
[Thunderbolt General] Cubs2008:
The problem with restoring app data was a TiBu issue with 3.8.5 and 3.8.5.1 regardless of the ROM. As long as you're running 3.8.5.2 or later you'll be ok. Just stay away from 3.8.5 or 3.8.5.1 and you'll be fine.
[Thunderbolt General] opimpao:
This is one thing that all titanium backup users need to know! Only Apps and data not system data. I learned by trial and error, they should have a warning within titanium backup for all users to see.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wowens0822:
I was wondering if any of you guys have ran across this. I updated my rom (Full wipe) its evervolv. I used TB (Pro) to back everything up. So when I try to restore it, it restores the apps, but fails on data. I've updated Busybox, fix permissions, I'm not sure what else to do. Any Ideas?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pons:
Yep. Don't do data, regardless. Pretty much every dev advises against it, (at the least I haven't found one who doesn't). Just think about it for a second. What is the point of doing a full wipe, and then restoring data? Personally, I don't restore any apps, either, and I've had very, very few problems, and most of those were known bugs.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wowens0822:
I do it for my saved stuff. Not system data.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rfarrah:
Have you tried restoring just app & data on specific apps? Say for something like Handcent - the app and your settings will come back (not your messages - that's a different gig). Or maybe a game of yours and your settings. Try a couple individually to see if it makes a difference.

Good luck!

I have tried a few random apps. Tried installing app, then data, tried both. Still notta. Makes me sad. First time with flashing any roms with having issues.

The milestone has a encrypted and locked bootloader similiar if not exactly the same as the droid x. How is the milestone capable of running cyanogenmod and we cant on the dx? If anyone was ever capable of porting over cyanogenmod to the dx how difficult would it be to make the hdmi port work like it does on the htc evo?
[Droid X General] joebob296:
The custom kernel will not allow full development for the droid x. But there is a dev I think porting Cyanogenmod to the dx using the stock kernel.

Hello everyone, long time viewer but never really posted here.

Short story:

My phone was rooted and i was running CM7 but one day i decided to apply Rodriguezstyle 2.3 i believe but then my phone was basically bricked?

It would boot to Nexus X logo and it would loop on that screen.

Pugged in my SD card through an SD card reader and I used the Passimg.zip method because i couldn't ADB.

I've ordered a new USB from ebay because mine broke and basically Windows is giving me Device Not Recognized.

So after getting fastboot working it auto read my Passimg.zip and phone was restored to stock rom.

Also didn't realize like a fool i've been asked by google to Update phone so I have upgraded to 2.3.4 without realizing rom what i've read so far it's hard to root 2.3.4 stock but there is a few methods with ADB but i can't use adb.

My question.

Anyway to root phone with SD card plugged into to PC only ?

Anyway to get ADB to recognize SD card reader as a device?

Can i root maybe with a working app?

MY MAIN PROBLEMS.

Missing working USB to recognize phone as device.

POWER BUTTON Broken. :\

Cannot use fastboot to go into recovery which is why i couldn't even do it when my phone wouldn't go past the X logo.

Anyway to maybe store a Script to apply to SD card to make phone boot into recovery mode?

Sorry if it seems confusing. :\

Please i need your help, need root on my phone. Stock Rom has horrible battery life and also i need trackball wakeup since i have missing Power btn.

(i turn it on by plug in power and take battery in and out.)

Thank you!

Looking forward to some responses
