Sorry i should have been more specific. I already had solved it. The thing is i made a backup after i had that problem so i could save (or at least try) my stock ROM. The thing is i wanted the old one and was kind of forced on this one. And since the phone is very recent i can't find the stock one anywhere and wanted to have a way to bypass this problem. So that's what i meant.
[Android General] jaggyjags:
there isnt a stock .zip ROM for our device yet (too soon) only that one, but we have the .exe ROM

Go to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1335368

Look for Htc pico in the link and go to the link given for it in the page. download the compatible Official Rom(RUU). try installing using computer (with htc sync installed) and device in fastboot mode and report back.
[Android General] levanoza:
Is there some custom ROM for HTC Explorer not Chinese, or stock one rooted ?
[Android General] jaggyjags:
nope, I searched last week one desperately, finally found that one from a chinese site (the fist one created) and could boot my phone at last.

waiting for someone to develop a european custom ROM
[Android General] Dante Leonheart:
Thanks for the help but i went to the store and swaped the phone. It was easier. xD BTW the link is broken.
[Android General] jaggyjags:
fixed the link :)
[Android General] padaba69:
I have the same problem chinese ROM so i lost android market... tried this HTC pico but failed on installation?

Whats the best way i can get htc explorer running again with android market on?
[Android General] jitin02:
another easiest way for this :

just copy the apk you want to install/add to /system/app and set the permission as all other system apk's in that /system/app folder has (to check what permissions they have go to /system/app folder suing root explorer, and just long press any apk and select permissions)
[Android General] jitin02:
So till now i hope most of us are rooted. i was thinking to make a list of what all are the bloatwares (for those who dont know what are bloatwares are . these are the usless apk's which the manufacturer of the device adds and are safe to remove)

why i am proposing this:

b'coz, we want our explorer to have more space and feel lighter, and also we feel anoying by seeing the useless apk's we dont use.

I found a way around to do this , a guy here on xda has made a script which does this stuff for you. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1367591

i will post the on the original post along with the credit to those who helps me with the list. (i am asking this here because i dont have experience with htc , i m good with dell streak )
[Android General] CatOnAndroid:
Yes I should have made a list my removal of apps. first of all I got rid of HTC Sense.

Installed GoTheme Launcher Ex first and hen removed rosalia. The droid runs alot smoother and faster now. Also I used TitaniumBackup to move all my apps to SD. and it works great.

There is ALOT bloatware on it and even if you remove that, you have to move most apps to SD. Time to get a 32GB card
[Android General] jitin02:
I already have most of my apps on my sd.

just gave this command to my explorer "pm SetInstallLocation2"

and boom all by default installs on sdcard

But i dont know which apps are safe to remove on htc
[Android General] jaggyjags:
The thing is I still end without internall memory. Even if I install to ROM memory my apps, their "data" end up there (example of Copilot with 9 mb data created the first time you open it) we just have 70 mb once booted. there is a way other android use to install all apps to sd and that is making a .ext2 partition for them in the external memory, but we will have to wait as ROM manager's recovery isnt supported yet in our phones.

my computer does'nt understand that command but I suppose is the same as moving them manually or using "apps2sd" application, but as an average apps only move about 1/3 of its weight to the sd and keep the rest in the internal, so I dont know for what I want 32 Gb if I can't use them!!

Any way around this? please help

By the way, I deleted from ROM the following:

Gomarket,

Adx (or watevers the name is of the blue-logo chinese app) :)

Music (I prefer power amp)

Any widget I dont use (callendar, contacts...)

rosalia (htc sense)
[Android General] mdysonr:
can anyone confirm, if this method can unlock the sim card
[Android General] jitin02:
I don't understand why you guys are on Chinese version when you already have European or Asian version of rom

Also, I was just wondering if this can help for our problem of short memory. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1233340

Can anyone try and let know. plssss, I cant try because i'm on a business trip right now for next 1.1/2 week
[Android General] levanoza:
Can you give link European version rom?
[Android General] CatOnAndroid:
Wanted to ask the same.

I would be happy about a european version.
[Android General] SLiviuD:
you know that you don't actually needed rom manager or Apps2sd to install apps to sd with all their data. you can use link2sd, its just as good and you don't need to create an ext partition per se , you can use anothet fat32 part aswell.tried with ext but failed,so far fat32 works well
[Android General] CatOnAndroid:
I am wondering... actually wildfire S and Explorer are the same phone... but the camera is different.

Maybe its possible to use a mod for wildfire?

[Android General] jaggyjags:
LOL! get this installed..
[Android General] padaba69:
i dont know why but every root explorer i try to install just says application not installed?
[Android General] jaggyjags:
yes, you've got ti uninstall it first as it is a system app. Do it using "root uninstaller" for example"
[Android General] jitin02:
Why don't you try searching app by name locale . It helps in changing language

And searching Google for Adding google framework to Chinese roms I remember I: once read something on Google related to this but don't have link

Hi.

I got a HTC Explorer today but i haven't rooted it yet.

I dont know if it boots or what works.

I will try it tomorrow if i have the time
[Android General] padaba69:
cant seem to get market to work, followed your advice on untick fastboot then rebooting, even tried factory reset still comes up with unexpected error, what link did you use to install market?
[Android General] jaggyjags:
I did several things beforeIt worked, don´t know exactly what it was the one thing that stoped it from crashing again.. rebooting, taking the battery off... note that my market was in the internal memory.

I attach my version, if you cannot find a solution just flash the .Zip file in recovery mode and will install it into the rom memory as system app (works 100%) :)
[Android General] CatOnAndroid:
Will try CM7 as I asked for it on cyanogen.com

Rooted with stock

Hello everyone,

I've managed to root the device with stock asia firmware. :) had to do the wifi fix with jaggy's files though...

removed bloatwares. trying to overclock the processor but still, why arent there custom roms like cleardroid and cyanogen for the device i wonder... There is a post in the cyanogen forums for a request for explorer support. Kindly show ur support and post there for requests... if they get enough requests they might do something...

EDIT: I did brick the phone once during the process cuz i did a hard reset... once rooted i advice not to do a hard reset or restore factory. Also Overclocking doesnt work on the device. Used every app out ther and cant get past the 600mhz
[Android General] calatemaze:
Hi.

First of all I'm definitely a noob at this.

I'm stuck on step 4

"4. assuming u r in fastboot mode with htc explorer connected, Run "recovery.bat" and wait until it says all done or something meaning similar"

because the recovery.bat don't do anything, and I can't figure it out what to do..:confused:

Thanks

Need Help in fixing new htc explorer

bought this new htc explorer from the site buytheprice.com.It arrived yesterday and when I tried to start it,first time, got stuck at the white screen with HTC in green and nothing else. I tried recovery/ restoring/factory reset etc nothing happens. tried to reinstall india stock rom(RUU_Pico_hTC_Asia_India_1.12.720.1_Radio_10.29.80.07H_1.09.80.26M2_release_217688_signed) from sd card(after extracting rom.zip ) but i get the message- main version is older.

on this screen says

***locked*** at the top.then

PICO PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT1.00.0000

RADIO- 1.10.81.04

i am now trying to download wwe east european version of rom to try and update.

Does the phone need to be unlocked before i can update?

is there anyway to repair the phone?i dont know if the website i got it from will replace it :(

please help me!!
[Android General] jitin02:
Y

1. Unlock using htcdev. Com.

2. Please explain me how to install using SD card. I never happened to succeed in that

3. Please do a brief for east European version ruu what all changes are there .

Another option to restore is. I can upload my Asian version nandroid somewhere and u can restore it after unlocking from htcdev. Com and getting the recovery on your device!

Brand new HTC explorer does not work.Tried loading with STock ROM for India by extracting from RUU and copying rom.zip to SD card but I get the error main files are older or something as the onboard image may be newer than the stock rom i got online.I still have S-ON.Is it possible to turn of S-ON- OFF and load the older STock ROM?

Right now the phone does not boot past the white screen with HTC in green displayed.But with battery reinserted and vol down and power pressed i get the screen where i have options for recover/factory reset reboot etc.I can also get to the hboot screen where i get the option from loading from SD card.

Please advise..
[Android General] deepaktom:
happened to me too... what i did was go to htc care and flash the rom. for free. take ur bill with u. i had to do that cuz at the time there was no clockwork mod for explorer..

---------- Post added at 06:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:40 AM ----------

I just replaced the files from jaggy and changed permissions and it worked for me... :)

Btw, except from removing bloatwares i cudnt find any use for the rooted phone at all... i tried everything else and didnt quite improve my usage... any tips on this?
[Android General] goluman:
nearest HTC care is in Kolkata 6 hours away by train and will incur lots of unnecessary expenses.That is why I am trying to learn how to flash stock rom on my own.AM a total noob so struggling a lot.Anyway I have learnt a lot in this thread and i hope to find a rom to flash on the explorer.I will try using the clockwork mod ,just a bit scared of bricking the phone,after reading about so many methods and complexities involved in rooting the phone etc.

Is the screenshot shortcut working on your explorers after rooting? not in mine (pressing power+home made a screenshot and saved it to gallery).
[Android General] calatemaze:
it's working on mine....
[Android General] jaggyjags:
Tried several screenshot apps and none worked. I suppose I deleted too many system apps from the custom rom =$

Well mine's working as well as the screenshot app. I'm using the stock rom though.

I suppose the problem is of the custom ROM, not the rooting process

Hi everyone!

Good work rooting the phone guys!

I am thinking in buying an HTC Explorer, but I'd like to know some details.

I use SetCPU to increase battery live decreasing clock rate and Droidwall to manage unwanted Wifi/3G connections.

SetCPU (needs root)

In the step B, Do I have to add fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and

fastboot reboot at the top of the Bat file (before @echo off)?

What happens betwing C and D? I'll run the bat file and then how can I copy the superuser to the sd card¿ What will happend to my Explorer? Will itreboot or will it shutdown?

You just have to follow instructions. If u get errors, extract the .zip ROM from the ruu.exe

Instructions:

1. Run ruu and wait till it says connect device

2. go to run and type "%TEMP%"

3. Click search and search within that folder for rom.zip

Then u can flash the rom.zip using clockworkmod recovery which u can install using instructions in first post.

To get back to the last firmware you can use fastboot.

Just download the old RUU and get rom.zip from it .. and then flash the ".img' files with fastboot

From which recovery u r trying.

and

Method 2 to do it = flash via fastboot
