[Desire General] Androidandy:
Well after reading that it is unlikely that the gsm desire wasn't going to receive full gingerbread, I decided to root mine.

I haven't bothered with rooting since my G1 as I have been happy with the desire.

Firstly I copied the SD card contents, formatted with fat32. Then added a 1.9GB ext3 with partition manager 10.

Rooting method

I used the unrevoked method. Note to others, you do need to install HTC sync and then un -install. I found that I had to install the modified usb driver several times before unrevoked would proceed with install. But in the end all went well and I attained root.

Roms.

My hboot is 0.93.

I first tried cyangenmod but it just boot looped, I think it was because I hadn't S-off, so I was using the wrong hboot, I couldn't be bothered with s-off so will stick to ROMs which work with 0.93.

I have tried Oxygen Aosp Rom. Very nice Rom, fast with minimal apps, but you just add what you want.

My current ROM is the leedroid desire HD port. I like this indeed with all the bells and whistles of HTC sense. I also added the sense 3.0 add on, quite nice.

So that where I am now enjoying some new features to my desire, which I must admit has not lost any of its attraction since I first bought it 18 months ago.

I thought I had forgotten how to do this root malarky, but it is a lot simpler than when I had the G1, saying that though it was never too difficult if you read the instructions properly.

root in one click

Root is very simple on desire, got it on the very first one kick :)
[Desire General] DasGensu:
yeah, once youve figured everything out its loughably easy. got my desire back from repair on tuesday and it didnt even take half an hour to free it from the bonds of the branded stock rom and return it to its full cm7 glory ;)
[Desire General] zedmarcus:
performed my first ever root a few days ago on my Desire and was surprised how easy it was.

i just followed the guide i found on here (somewhere, can't remember where now) and had GingerVillain 2.7 installed in no time.

i'm no technical whizz, but as long as you can follow instructions it's a breeze.

(now just gotta try to understand what the hell a kernel is/does) :confused:
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
And with this new method it's become much easier:

http://revolutionary.io
[Desire General] Lothaen:
much easier to s-off i concur, but for just root with s-on then unrevoked is probably still slightly easier..

I had issues with the drivers first time I ran it through too - it kept trying to windows update search and by that time unrevoked had timed out waiting :)
[Desire General] dayylin:
Yeah, I used revolutionary the first time. Running cm7 now and loving it
[Desire General] huongwk:
rooted, flashed and s off my pvt4 desire few days ago with all the guide in xda. awesome forum. thanks a lots although i faces some heart beat moment... :D
[Desire General] cookpass:
I did mine the other day, when I was doing the s-off bit, it sat there for half an hour just after the "brick" warning part... I had to pull the plug in the end. Fortunately stock Rom fixed it again. Twitchy was an understatement! Thought i'd killed it...

Turned out to be the usb on my laptop causing the error. Tried it on another pc and it was sweet as a nut.

Long story short, I've ordered a class 10 card so I'm just trying different roms for now until that arrives. Will probably stick to LeeDroid as I like sense.

Great guide made this very easy (apart from the sphincter clenching part mentioned earlier). Thanks to all on xda :)
[Desire General] chronaden:
Im having trouble with some ROM's, I get the "Status error 7" when trying to update from recovery, I do a full reset/wipe etc first ofcourse.

Some ROM's install fine, I dont get it o0
[Desire General] k3lcior:
Change recovery to AmonRA or one from my sig if you're S-OFF.
[Desire General] Sinbad_NI:
Similar experience here, using unrevoked, tried sense 3 rom's, cm7 and now on XJ's MIUI.

Really brought some life back into the old phone.

Thanks to all at XDA.

Hi All

i am having a problem after 2.3.3 and wanted to check if anyone did face any of this.

the phone was 2.1update 1, rooted jit installed and xrecovery

and i have updated to 2.3.3 without unrooting or anything via SEUS

when the update is complete the new firmware did not recognize the SD card (the one that came included in the box 8G)

i checked it on pc and it works fine

put it in my brother HTC HD7 and worked fine, and his SD card worked on my x10 also fine.

put another sd card in x10 and worked fine.

put back the original one and the phone did not recognize it.

i have formatted it several time with no luck

is there a minimum class requirement for the 2.3.3?

any idea?

thanks

[General Questions and Answers] ronubo:
Hi all,

I am trying to make sense of how the android system is made up w.r.t to boot/kernel.

I have been looking at the .img files in the build (I built for the "passion" device), and have been googling around to find some more information about the various .img files.

I ran into a nice HOWTO in android-dls.com 's WIKI, titled HOWTO:_Unpack%2C_Edit%2C_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images (I'm sorry, I'm a new user so XDA won't allow me to post links. I will try to modify my post a soon as I'm granted permission for that)

but I am afraid it is a little outdated:

I have several questions, but I will try to be brief, so I'll focus on

one of them, and if that works I'll proceed to the next questions, all related to "Android bringup for dummy embedded linux kernel experts".

I am fairly aware of differences between different linux

configurations, and I am very familiar with linux bringup concepts, so I will just use common examples from the linux world as my terminology. Hope it will be clear enough.

I understood that boot.img a combination of a kernel (e.g. bzImage in linux) and an initial ramdisk (e.g. initrd.gz), wrapped by some header, as in common linux kernel loading practice (piggy.o etc.).

Now, the aforementioned HOWTO says that the "recovery" image is built on

the same way, and that it is stored on the target's /system/

recovery.img .

I would assume that this would be compound of the ramdisk-

recovery.img, and some other kernel.

Now, the problem is that:

1. This /system/recovery.img does not exist from what I saw (on my

Motorola XOOM tablet)

2. What does exist is /system/boot-from-recovery.p , which is

created during the boot process in obj/PACKAGING/

recovery_patch_intermediates/recovery_from_boot.p .

I saw tons of posts referring to the files, all said that "in order to

replace the rescue disk image, this file needs to be renamed" - but I

am looking for a way to figure out what it is, and how to extract its

contents.

I assume /system/recovery.img is deprecated, is that correct?

3. I did not see any flash devices in /proc/mtd (which is strange).

I searched for hours before sending this post, so I would appreciate

your help. I also posted a similar message at the google android-building group, but it has not been answered yet, and I got the impression that these forums are more active and can help me get where I need.

If it is not the right place to ask the question please let me know -

I just assume this is a general android concept and not device

specific.

Thanks,

Ron
[General Questions and Answers] ronubo:
I meant of course /system/recovery-from-boot.p , and not recovery-from.boot.p

-R
[General Questions and Answers] jman0:
Hi,

I don't know if you managed to find out what "recovery-from-boot.p" is, since this is quite an old post, but I think I'll try to help anyway.

recovery.img is not deprecated at all. From my own experience, it looks like "recovery-from-boot.p" is a protection measure introduced in Gingerbread, but not the recovery itself. What it does is replacing any recovery currently installed on the phone with the default one on every boot.

I discovered it after flashing a custom recovery on my Android 2.3.4 phone. It worked, but just during the first boot. The next time I rebooted the phone, the default recovery image was there again. After browsing several sites, I found that "recovery-from-boot.p" is responsible for that.

So, if you flash a custom recovery image on a Gingerbread phone and want to keep it forever, you must delete this "recovery-from-boot.p" from /system, or at least rename it. That way, your new custom recovery will never get overwritten buy the default one, unless you do it yourself.

I hope this helps you and clarifies this question.

recovery from boot p

Hey good day. Did you get your problem fixed...? I have an xt912 it has the same file. For days I've been trying to wipe the phone. Tryed rooting it. I tryed reprogramming it. And I got through with all of that. But everytime the phone boots up it goes back to the same state. Then I used a root browser and while exploring I saw this recovery from boot file. I need help. And I don't think I can downgrade the Motorola phones. Thanks in advance.

I have recovery-from-boot.p in my system and i cant root my phone i cant change the recovery img ... Help?
[General Questions and Answers] ChromeJob:
I hadn't had to deal with this for some time, perhaps because I've updated my devices (Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Nexus 7 '13) with the factory images, with "-w" removed from flash-all, then flashing CWM's recovery, ensure SuperSU was installed, then continuing. Today, I used the new OTA image on my Hammerhead/N5, and recovery-from-boot.p seems to be up to its old tricks again.

Solution is simple.

Flash your alternate Recovery in fastboot, fastboot flash recovery [recovery image file] . Boot into Recovery. Apply/install root app (typically via sideload). Mount /system. adb shell mv /system/recovery-from-boot.p /system/recovery-from-boot.p.bak. Reboot. Done. (If you're unfamiliar with fastboot, adb, and flashing new recovery partitions, you have some reading to do. Commence RTFM.)

I also used to have to move /system/etc/install-recovery.sh but that seems to be gone in Marshmallow. :} Or moved...?
[General Questions and Answers] sherlock515:
well, after following a guide I have extracted the system.img from a pure-nexus ROM(The ROM I'm currently using), now I can see that "recovery-from-boot.p" file is responsible for recovery lock in my phone. I'll keep it short and straight to the question

"Can I remove this file and rebuild the .dat file and flash it?, so that I won't have any other problems at all"

I want to know if recovery-from-boot.p file is linked to anything other than just locking the recovery or re-flashing it innumerable times.

[LG Optimus 2x] manasgirdhar:
Seperation would just be confusing.Not to mention there will be redundancy in posts.
[LG Optimus 2x] CenaDK:
It's 2 different ROMS or am I mistaken?

They are based on the same but with different tweaks. I think it's more confusing to seperate the post in the MIUI thread from each ROM.

But that's not my call to decide :)
[LG Optimus 2x] MadCobbler:
I agree to the point where I think that until the official rom is released it should all be in the same thread because each of the roms is suffering from more or less the same bugs and having those same bugs talked about over multiple threads is gonna be confusing...

When the official one is out then the developers of each rom should be the only ones to start a thread for that particular rom because there will be support for it then... Just my opinion :)
[LG Optimus 2x] manasgirdhar:
I agree.Anyway now that we are getting weekly Beta's it wont be long till s stable version is also Released.However the thing is that the old thread where we all post..The title is incorrect and should be Changed.Other than that i see no reason to open dozens of threads stating the same things.
