I have made a custom rom that is near stock ... only difference is languages added (Australian because I am from there), you can factory reset mine without deleting the ROM itself :), and removed tell htc + the OTA updater.

... will upload this to rapidshare now and post a link soon...

Kris
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] i00:
For all of those who want an *ALMOST* stock European ROM without having to worry about issues with factory resetting download mine from here

The only things that have been mod'ed are:

languages added (Australian because I am from there)

you can factory reset mine without deleting the ROM itself

removed tell htc + the OTA updater

I will post this in its own thread if the explorer gets its own section.

Also this Rom isn't deodexed... I choose not to do this as it seems to take up more dalvik cache ... And this is not desirable considering how little data space the device has

Kris
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] pomnhim:
u can add the other language?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] i00:
What language would you like me to add ?

Kris
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] jaggyjags:
@i00

Don't worry, I am preparing roms with every language support, uploading tomorrow hopefully.

EDIT: mision aborted, I was trying to build .zip roms from RUU of different countries but failed flashing in recovery (maybe because s-off as there are different radio versions??)

new european version 1.28 is available

http://www.filefactory.com/f/72ab89aee0b699ab/

with different radio version, is there any way to update our phone??

Can anyone port CM latest version or MIUI based custom rom for HTC Explorer ?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] kingvic:
Ciao jaggyjags,

do you mean that I can install it in a Italian htc explorer with Voda***e?

The right on should be this:

RUU_Pico_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_10.35d.80.09H_1.11.82.17_rar
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] jaggyjags:
try downloading it and installing. I never managed to install an RUU after rooting, not sure
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] kingvic:
Ok, so you mean is better to install rom from the page "[ROM] Htc Explorer (pico) "JaggyRom" (a2sd + overclock)" maybe the cleaned version so I don't have a lot of not needed programs..
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] jaggyjags:
if you use sense widget with weather install the stock version (deleted weather in the clean one), then you can delete any unwanted programs with apps like "root uninstaller"
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] kingvic:
Sorry to bother you but I would like to be sure to follow correct steps.

I have to do as follow:

format sd card with 2 partitions: the first in fat32 and the second in ext4;

start the phone in recovery mode;

using wipe cache partition;

install your rom using install zip from sdcard

Thanks!
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] jaggyjags:
Perfect, I couldn't explain it better :)

big fat32 partition and small ext3 or ext4

aprox. about 10-20% of the sd card will be great

I have 16 gb card with 1.3 gb ext3 partition
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] immortal_yash:
will our devices get any update... like 2.3.6 or anything else...and can dev try port CM9 to our phones...
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] kingvic:
I followed steps as said yesterday and I had no problems to boot the phone with the new operating system. I also moved cache using dalvik tab.

I have only two questions:

1. Zipalign in app2SD has to be enabled?

2. Why new programs I download do not install to the SD and install to the phone memory? Have I to move them each time?

Thanks
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] pomnhim:
Help,after install kernel for phone,my phone is usually stiff and reboot.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] jaggyjags:
if you zipalign on boot you will get a better usage of ram (boot time will slow a little).

To move apps to partition you have to have an ext3 or ext4 partition and have the option selected in A2SDGUI app. ("apps are on sd")

important

: if you select to move to sd partition it will appear to your phone that apps are on internal memory. to check were they are use an application like "DataUsage"

and browse /data (the internal memory) and /system/sd (SD partition) and search fot the *.apk files.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] kingvic:
It's already setup in this way.

I have checked and you were right: if I download a new app it installs to the SD but using Mybackup root to restore applications after load your ROM it installed them to the phone memory ;)

I think now it sufficient to move all programs installed on the phone memory to the SD using a2sdgui..
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] jaggyjags:
I just made a clarification on my previous post.

hi jaggy i have a big big problem.....

i rooted my explorer thanks to your guide and now i have the recovery too. But the phone detected an OTA upgrade, i downloaded it through WIFI but the phone cannot install it..!! because it reboot but then stay stuck on the japanese recovery logo...so i'd like to unroot the phone and delete the recovery...is it possible?? i hope so :(

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] jaggyjags:
Get the recovery folder from the rooting tutorial, extract images from ruu rom.zip (there are tutorials on how to do it)

Copy those three images into the recovery folder.

Edit the recovery.bat and add the three commands (delete everithing else) with phone in fastboot mode.

Save file and open it.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] jaggyjags:
I think you don't need to install RUU after that, flashing those three images will make your phone like stock.

Then you can relock bootloader if you don't want future changes.

HI friends i m from pakistan i need bootloader to root the htc explorer i dont know the proper steps i do every thing which mentioned in thread but all in vain tell me proper method to root or flashing rom

sorry, im not going to translate it to Pakistani.

this tutorial works well
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] ahmed.t:
Hello, I have an issue. I wanted to root the phone with your tutorial. Everything went good, but I cannot enter the recovery menu. When I start the phone (after I shut it down and put out the battery) by pushing the power button and the volume+ button, the little red light above the screen turns on. After some seconds the green HTC Logo appears, and then the quiet brilancy Logo appears too and the phone boots normal. So I was not able to install the superuser application.

I did all the installing without USB debugging mode... is this the problem maybe? In other tutorials they said you have to turn on the USB debugging mode.

Thanks for your help and your tutorial.....!

Hello, thanks for your tutorial.

I'd like to root my HTC explorer, but I'm stuck with unlocking the bootloader :-S

When I try to flash the bootloader I get :

sending 'unlocktocken' <OKB>...
OKAY [ 0.133s]
writing 'unlocktocken"...
<bootloader> signature checking...
FAILED <remote: signature verify fail>
finished. total time: 0.139s

So I can't go further... Any idea ?

(I've double check the manipulation and the file given by htc)

I am also stuck...was thinking about rooting my HTC explorer...started reading the tutorial and downloading the required files...

After downloading HTC sync and installing it, i connect my phone using the usb cable and select the "HTC Sync" option in the phone...it starts searching for Program HTC Sync in my pc but doesn't find it....and the HTC Sync program in the PC keeps saying that there is not any phone connected.

I have checked the Device Manager of Windows and the Android phone appears...it says "My HTC".

Jaggy, do you have and suggestion? Without this i cannot root my phone, or can I? I have tried to install HTC Sync in a pc with Windows XP, in another one with Windows 7 and the result is always the same, the program never recognizes my phone. Help please.

Hi Jaggy

I folowed your instructions,unlocked successfully and when i try to run "recovery.bat" with phone in fastboot mode PC and phone freezes completely.

When i remove USB cable from phone it works again,but PC must be manualy restarted.

Any idea?

P.S.: of course,i tries various metods (first run .bat then connect,vice versa etc...),always same freezing...
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] jaggyjags:
Check your computer, did you install Htc sync?

Check that in your phone you can read 'fastboot usb'
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] miledamjan:
Yeap,HTC sync installed,when I connect phone with USB cable "fastboot" changes to "fastboot USB" but when i hit "Enter" on "recovery.bat" PC freezes.

Im will try on another PC on work,will see what comes up///

Tnx for reply! :)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] miledamjan:
I found what is a problem.

Problem is HTC Sync.

I just installed fresh Win 7 on brand new notebook and after installed HTC Sync all USB ports are messed up.

All devices that were connected on notebook (mouse,flash drive...) are not recognized by Win after Sync install,actualy nothing happens when i connect previously used devices.New connected devices works.

But i managed to install recovery on phone and just backing up my phone.

Hello everybody!

Just got this device via loyalty program from Vodafone, the phone itself is simfree I can use whenever simcard I want, but it is stuffed with Vodafone logo while booting and some Vodafone apps, widget.

Whent I tried to unlock boot via htcdev, I received continious error:

(bootloader) [ERR] Command error !!!

OKAY [ 0.016s]

finished. total time: 0.016s

I suggest that means that Vodafone restricts HTC to unlock boot of headsets designated for the operator :(

Revolutionary app also doesn't support Explorer.

Which other options do I have to unlock s-off , and as a result to Root this device?

Thanks in advance for responses.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] jaggyjags:
I am pretty sure you didnt follow everithing correctly. Check the command used, that you have all the files needed in the same folder and you use the following command

from that folder

.

"fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin"
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Deadushko:
Well, the process is stopped far before mentioned command...

When doing part 2:

I've installed all the soft and drivers, so after I run a command:

C:\Android-HTC>fastboot oem get_dentifier_token

I receive the above mentioned error...

And my folder is Android-HTC
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] jaggyjags:
You need inside that folders the adb file and fastboot (don't remember if there was any more) it is said in the tutorial.

And it's identifier, you missed the 'i'

Don't know if you misspelled it here only or also when typing it on your terminal.

Also don't forget to have your phone on fastboot mode.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Deadushko:
I put everything required, all 3 files in that folder

Bingo! That was the problem, my typo, where I missed letter "i" , thanks for pointing this fact to me! :) Everything went further on now. Waiting for unlock code at my email now :)

Done! Thanks for the instructions and recovery.bat !

[off]Now it's time for custom ROM :) Unfortunately there are no ROMs with Russian language available for download, as I've heard...[/off]

After rooting the device I cannot apply FOTA software update, after rebooting by installer, the creen shows just "custom recovery Pico by Yannou" text.. is this typical or not?

After, when I enter recovery mode and try to install the downloaded "OTA_Pico_Vodafone_UK_1.29.161.3-1.17.161.3_R_release_228878e3lenbgu0jk05e71.zip" from SD card I receive an error:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] deadgalaxys2:
Hi All,

Recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy S2 from Gumtree online. It was only working on o2 network so got at unblocked from a guy at a market stall so that it works on all network sims. It was working fine for about a week but then randomly came up with a message saying "emergency calls only" and I coulnt make or recieve calls or texts even if i changed the sim to o2. The internet was still functioning correctly however.

Called network provider and have been told that there is a bar on it by an insurance company. Tried to get back to the seller but have not been able to contact him. Have reported him but I would just like to know is there any way to unblock this phone at all? Dont want to lose out on all the money spent on it. would it be worth downloading any unblocking applications if the phone has a bar on it?

Please any ideas, comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Apologies for the long message

Thanks

This forum is for the SGH-I777 (AT&T version, four capacitive buttons at the bottom.)

You're in the UK and bought from the UK equivalent of Craigslist, so you likely have an I9100. This isn't the forum for you.

Either way, nothing anyone here can do to help you - we are all AT&T customers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Miami_Son:
Not to mention, sounds like you bought a hot (stolen) phone. Only the carrier it was first connected to can unblock the IMEI and unless you can prove you bought it legitimately they are unlikely to do so. If the insurer already paid out on a claim then they will never do so. Buying from unknown sources is a bad idea.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ebubekirs:
Hi,

I looked at similar threads but couldn't solve my problem, which is;

I was using custom rom with data2ext tools without any problems. I just realized that although my RomManager's Clockworkmod recovery version was 5.0.2.0, i see 2.5.0.7 on the recovery screen. Then i found that my desire went to S-ON back.

While i was trying to make S-OFF, i used AlphaRev, first step was ok, then it restarted the phone, saying "waiting for bootloader". Even after the Hboot screen comes up, it didn't get further. I tried another tools, such as Revolutionary, but it says "Hboot 0.83 is not supported". I can not use fastboot tool also since i am S-ON. When i try to flash anything (recovery.img, boot.img etc.) it gives the famous "...malformed.." error.

So now i can only enter HBoot and Fastboot screen. When i enter recovery, it freezes on HTC Logo on the white screen. When i restart the phone normally, it again freezes on the same screen.

Thanks in advance.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
