Would anyone happen to have a VodafoneUK-branded (or know where I can get one) RUU for the Chacha? I believe it's version 1.19.something - I've looked and can't find it anywhere :(
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Hmm, 1.19 is kinda old. I believe that is the current official one in UK?

Have you checked for updates in Settings -> About phone -> Updates?

Or you need this specific RUU version?
[HTC ChaCha] qzfive:
1.19 was what I remember the Vodafone-branded software being before I installed 1.33.404.1 unbranded.

I'm wanting to go back to 1.19 Vodafone-branded so I'll easily be able to update (albeit slower) without the use of RUUs - been having problems getting 1.52 to apply due to being S-ON and CID=VODAP001 :(
[Motorola Atrix 2] cuhrazy:
I just rooted the A2, lets say something breaks on the phone and I have to take it back to AT&T. How can you unroot? Not that I will but just in case.
[Motorola Atrix 2] malickie:
They really cannot tell if the phone is rooted. It's when the device has Bootloader unlocked that they can notice easier. Although I have taken back two OG Atrixes with bootloaders unlocked and Just returned an Atrix 2 Rooted with No issues from anyone. Although I would like to know regardless anyway as I am having issues with my root at the moment.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Gadgetz:
Not sure, but if you find out let us know.
[Motorola Atrix 2] cuhrazy:
Its also so I can receive over the air updates down the road.
[Motorola Atrix 2] koriflame:
OTA updates weren't affected by root on my backflip and actually the update unrooted the phone. Idt theres anything to worry about there.
[Motorola Atrix 2] nyydynasty:
1) all you really need to do is remove the SU apk from the /system/app folder and thats it. (i have not rooted this phone yet, myself. but thats all you should have to do)

2) rooting should not affect OTA updates BUT it I think it depends on the root method. If rooting requires you to flash a new kernel (like on the SGS2), it may break OTA updates. There's no definitive answer to that question.
[Motorola Atrix 2] cuhrazy:
Thank you for the answers. Just wanna stay up to date on software without having to manually do everything.
[Motorola Atrix 2] thekurrgan:
To completely un-root, one would need to do the following:

adb shell

su

cd /system/xbin

mkdir tmp

mv * tmp

cd tmp

mv ssmgrd ../

mv run_restore ../

mv run_backup ../

mv backup ../

mv dexdump ../

mv drm1_func_test ../

cd ..

rm -rf tmp

cd /

rm /system/bin/busybox

rm /system/app/Superuser.apk

rm /data/local/tmp/*

rm /data/local/zerg

rm /data/local/su

rm /data/local/Superuser.apk

rm /system/xbin/su

exit

adb reboot

If you then wipe data / factory reset, PROVIDED you followed the root thread in the dev forum and haven't messed with anything else, you will be back to a bone stock device.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rc_enzo:
Hi,

I'm gonna get straight to the point. I want to revert back to the original Froyo ROM it shipped with (and had to downgrade to, in order to root it). I used gfree, got pretty much all backup images it made. Did forget though to make a NANDROID backup with Clockwork, so that's my point. Where can I find the correct ROM to flash, and how do I unroot it?

I've currently flashed my DZ with the latest Virtuous Sense, no carrier-lock. I'm from the Netherlands, should that make any difference.

rc_enzo

Edit: It's now stock, Gingerbread and unrooted. No sweat.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OriginalGabriel:
If you're trying to revert back to stock for a warranty replacement (eg. you want to make sure "they" don't know you rooted), follow the guide in the wiki; if you're just wanting the stock ROM, it should be available on shipped-roms.com
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rc_enzo:
Okay, I've been there. Problem is, I don't have a single clue which ROM I should download from that page...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nipqer:
Stock froyo, grab this one RUU_Vision_HTC_WWE_1.34.405.5_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155556_signed.exe

its a rootable froyo rom.

-Nipqer
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scythe01:
The method used by the wiki to unroot needs to be changed at some point as it doesn't work for everyone.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rc_enzo:
Okay, installed it and works properly.

Is it safe to update it OTA to Gingerbread in this state? I haven't changed anything else than the new official ROM, so it's still rooted I guess.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nipqer:
You should probably put it S-ON, if you don't want root at all.

In which case you should stick to the froyo rom until you do it, then its safe to go up to gingerbread.

-Nipqer
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rc_enzo:
Okay, that I shall do.

Another question (yeah, I can't stop somehow :P): on the stock Froyo ROM, Twitter was pre-installed. I updated the app, and now I have two shortcuts in my App Drawer: one with the old logo, and one with the new, both redirecting to the same app. Anything I can do about this?
[HTC Sensation] astrah:
Unfortunately, I'm not allowed to post in the relevant forum so I am hoping someone could answer my question here. I installed the Miui rom a couple of weeks ago but the bluetooth connection wouldn't connect to my Parrot CK3200 car kit. It would find the phone but drop the connection. i know that it is not a problem with the car kit as all the other roms I have tried have been fine.

The actual rom I tried was the MIUI.us HTC Sensation 1.10.28 by scott951.

just wanted to know if anyone else has had any issues with this.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
I haven't tried bt on this phone yet but whenever bt acts up it's usually caused by different kernels. Are you using the kernel bundled with the rom or another like bricked or faux?
[HTC Sensation] astrah:
I was using the bundled kernel, would you be able to recomend/link to a kernel.

Hi,

I am wondering whether this application allows the flashing of all the updates inside a package besides the operating system.

In my case, I do not want to reflash the operating system part and lose all my data - but I would like to do an update for the radio rom (and there's a radiocust too, can you tell me, what it is?)

For some reason, I can not select Task 28 or Task 32, both select boxes are grayed out.

How can I prevent a Task 28 from happening?

Thanks for answering! :)

Question

Hello!

I've tried to use this tool, but an error stops me always...

My computer (and the program) cannot recognize my phone, and on my phone, there is no "USB" sign. There is no connection between my phone and the progam. I tried few cables, few USB-ports (I have two :D), but nothing at all, it have to be a driver problem. I have a Mozart and a Windows 7 running on a MacBook Air (separately with BootCamp, not virtually).

Can you please help me, where can I get the necessary drivers from?

I've tried all the advices I found on Google, but it didn't help.

Thank you in advance :)
[7 Mozart Windows Phone 7 Development] iamwin:
please install drivers first (download WINDOWS MOBILE DEVICE CENTER FOR WIN7).
[7 Mozart Windows Phone 7 Development] PsYtiB:
I already tried everything, it just not recognizes my phone.

The WMDC says: no connection, if I try to download the drivers through Windows Update, it is not successful...that is why I want to ask somebody kindly to zip me those drivers if it's possible...thank you :)

[7 Mozart Windows Phone 7 Development] PsyCLown89:
Hey!

So I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit with SP1 etc.

I also have a Mozart (duh). Formatted my PC recently so had nothing on it - I put my phone into the bootloader mode by pressing and holding volume down while I turn on the device. It goes to the tri colour screen. I then connected my phone to my PC with a Nokia USB cable (spare) and then Windows found the device, searched for drivers on Windows Updates, downloaded 11MB and then it was all good.

Currently flashing phone as I type this :) So it is NOT an issue with Windows 64 bit, perhaps drivers. Windows downloaded Windows Phone Device Center which had the drivers.

Hope that helps?
[7 Mozart Windows Phone 7 Development] PsYtiB:
Is it possible to send me those drivers, please?

I've tried already everything I could but nothing helped :confused:

[Motorola Droid Bionic] kimeee:
Had OD and loved having it rooted. (My sister's bf helped me. I'm more or less a newb) Had to upgrade to Bionic and while I love it am missing root.

I've been searching online and between info about root and the upcoming ICS update I am getting confused.

Should I root now and wait for ICS? Or wait for ICS then root?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] nstallion:
It seems pretty likely that there will be ICS based ROMs available long before Motorola gets around to releasing an official OTA update.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tivo7:
You need not be rooted at all. If you don't know exactly what you're doing, you should NOT be rooted because you WILL brick your phone.

If you really want to be rooted, you need to do some research and get more familiar with it, what it's for, how it works, and what it can do to your phone.

You probably want to be pretty familiar with ADB too.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ichigo007:
I am running the most current unreleased patch 5.7.893 and have not really read what I am really going to gain my rooting. If someone can tell me what I would get that would be worth rooting I will root. but running stock OTA roms specially the 5.7 has fixed most of what was wrong with the phone. I would if I was you just patch per instructions on here rootzwiki.com/topic/8562-easily-upgrade-to-57893-keep-root-and-webtop/ to get the fixes unless someone says there is something well risking rooting
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tivo7:
If you are happy with what you have on your phone now, you shouldn't root.

Better to not take the chances.

Oh and...it takes a lot of manual coding to root for you now because the 893 kernel blocks all One-Click-Root programs from working. You have to do it all manually now, and you have to go back to 886 before you can root again anyway.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ichigo007:
Yea I understand about going back. I had to go back just to get the webtop working in 5.7.893. I did the incremental one and lost webtop. used the R3l3AS3DRoot_Windows_V2.1 to go back to the 886 then used the single file update to 5.7 and everything works great. I would probably root if I could get free wifi hotspot so I could use my XOOM thru my phone cause I don't want to pay the hotspot or extra for more 4G bandwidth for my XOOM since my phone is unlimited
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kimeee:
I didn't brick my last phone. Rooted all by myself. BF just pointed the way.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tivo7:
Even if you did do it by yourself, if you don't know where to go from there, I wouldnt do it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] CrazyGuyCD:
Its fun seeing the ROMs that are put out but unless that tutor is available I wouldnt do it. Bricking your phone isnt cool.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Terror_1:
Rooting really isn't that big a deal once you have some idea what you are doing.

I have had 3 rooted phones and have rooted/jailbroke/hacked just about every other electronic device in my entire house at one point or another.

Do your research, and make sure you follow the instructions. Of course it also helps if you are familiar with ADB and a command shell so you know what the commands you are running actually do too.

Oh, and wait for ICS? C'mon you know XDA will have that at least 2-3 months before it get's an OTA update. [this is fact] <-- don't hold me to that.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] nstallion:
Exactly. Motorola will have to start all over with Blur, that is gonna take forever. Rooting a phone with a decent developer community will always mean you have access to the new toys well before the OTA updates.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Murdoc419:
At the OP, You should have also ran the 43V3R root when you did R3L3AS3DRoot. I'm not an expert on android software and rooting but when I had my X2 I did some minimal research and haven't ran into any problems. When I got my Bionic I rooted it within the first 20 min of getting it. The tools that Dhacker put out (R3L3AS3DRoot, etc.) are amazing and rather easy for someone who is less experienced. They also make it nearly impossible to brick your phone as you can just run it again to get back to stock. Not to say you should just rush into things with reckless abandon.

If you do some research and read EVERYTHING that a developer provides as a guide to flashing their ROM, mod, hack, etc. you'll most likely be ok. Just do everything in small steps. As to your question about ICS though, do like I said. I know it's a pain but backup all your apps and run the R3L3AS3DRoot again, but then also run 43V3R root and intall Cheesecake. All of these can be done with the same tool. Then flash the 5.7.893 update and bam, you have the latest version and your still rooted. You may have to reinstall Super User from the market though.

As far as how useful having a rooted phone is, it all depends on what you will actually take advantage of. One of the simplest things is to just flash a custom ROM and enjoy the changes the developer has made. Liberty is top notch and I would reccomend it to a "newb". Personally I am quite satisfied with stock and would rather customize everything to my own personal satisfaction. If you go that route there are still great things out there. I'm using the V8 Supercharger script and ROM toolbox. TBH I'm not really sure what I'm doing with scripts but there was a good guide for the V8S one and I would highly suggest ROM toolbox. You can use it to install custom fonts, boot animations, download and install custom ROMs (though I think it only supports liberty (haven't tested it)) freeze or uninstall bloatware apps. Basically it's about 10 or so apps in one and it's very user friendly.

Wow this is getting way longer than I planned so here's the:

TL;DR

Do research til you feel comfortable. Read EVERYTHING any developer gives you as a guide. Don't rush into things. And looks at all your options. Rooting gives you access to a few neat tools and hacks to get everything you can out of your phone. Just keep R3L3AS3DRoot handy and you have a very low chance of completely bricking your phone. Also as a disclaimer, I'm not responsible if you completely wreck your phone.

Edit: Adding some links to helpful reads.

FAQs, highly recommend.
