Unrevoked Can not Get Root . Is there an Alternative ?????

People/Gurus

Yesterday got one HTC Desire off stock & running CM7 but having problems with my other daughters....

Procedures that lead me to this point

1. Installed revolutionary & gained S-OFF.

2. Used unrevoked 3 to try & gain root but have been unable to do so. All looks good till near the end when it says "running root" then a message that says "Error: failed to get root. Is your firmware too new ?"

I am desparately needing some advice. Yesterdays went fine, with a little help from you angels of mercy !! Now I need you all again :-(

Thanks for reading

John
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kotag82:
did you flash zip file from question 4 from http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/revolutionary

?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lisaamybeth:
I did not. The reason why I did not was because I had read a post that said the CMW recovery that comes with revolutionary can be ignored, so I did not install it. My intention was to install ROM Manager & insall newest version of CWM from there, but now I cannot boot into recovery to install the zip. Is there another way ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kotag82:
flash one of recoveries(via fastboot) from my signature then flash the zip... without recovery you can push files via adb to proper location then change permission but recovery is safer way and not painful...

See bortak guide step 10
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lisaamybeth:
Can I ask your advice on one other thing please. During this adventure I have noticed many references to PVT4 and a size of 40000. This has caused me a little concern as mine does show PVT4 but cat /proc/mdc shows 20000 should I still be able to go ahead safely ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kotag82:
One of mine is 40000 using rmd and 20000 I was using both rmd and touch recovery without any problem, I think it is related to old cwm recovery 2.x.x.x risk of sdcard and USB brick
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lisaamybeth:
Yeah, just found that via google... Just clicked your thanks metre, all good and working, really really really REALLY appreciate your time & patience, thanks again m8..

[Nexus S General] 1024k:
Getting now ICS 4.0.3, very very slow download.
[Nexus S General] Aequilibrium:
What??? Same version? Good to know they tried so hard to fix the bugs...
[Nexus S General] TheManicGibbon:
I take it you're referring to the stock ROM? I wonder if the rollout has restarted or if you're just in a test region. Shame it's still 4.0.3 though, I would have thought they would have incremented the build if they have incorporated all the fixes required...
[Nexus S General] 1024k:
Ics 4.0.3 MR1
[Nexus S General] TheManicGibbon:
MR1 is the build that was originally pushed out and then paused...have Google fixed anything at all?

This is a pretty poor way to treat Nexus owners, by definition we're all either devs or early adopters yet they still fail to keep us up to date or even issue a statement about what the problem is for weeks.
[Nexus S General] bozzykid:
The update server was turned back on yesterday for both the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S. So far nothing new has rolled out. The same versions that were on the server before they shut it down are what is being rolled out.
[Nexus S General] bloomfield9000:
Same version or not, hopefully the 9020a's and 4g's of the world get something this time.
[Nexus S General] wolf230:
Do you have still "battery drain"

My idea is that they have pushed the OTA just because the OTA server is just one for both the nexus.....the different phone will recive they're own firmware as well.
[Nexus S General] 1024k:
Well, this would be a nice joke :)

Let know for battery drain, 73% of download
[Nexus S General] PhoenixIce22:
I wonder...

Is it possible that the update version is still the same. Kinda like what happened when they release GB 2.3.6?
[Nexus S General] bozzykid:
It's still build IML74K so it is the exact same release.
[Nexus S General] TheManicGibbon:
Yeah if it was different in any way, it would have a different build number. The update that is rolling out OTA is EXACTLY the same as the one before it was paused.
[Nexus S General] petrochemicals:
Wouldn't it be nice if Google would bother to make a statement regarding weather they found a problem with 4.0.3 or not. Instead of just turning the servers back on and making everyone guess. It's not like they need a press conference, they could have just posted something/anything on G+ or Twitter.

Why choose to leave your customers in the dark constantly, especially as the main owners of the Nexus S are dev's for Google's Android community.

Sometimes you have to wonder what the **** Google is thinking.
[Nexus S General] 1024k:
yes, IMLK74

KERNEL 3.0.8 gb55e9ac android-build@apa28#1
[Nexus S General] wolf230:
Complitely right
[Nexus S General] hp420:
I completely agree....I think if enough people ask them about it on G+ and twitter we may get an answer ;)
[Nexus S General] AskingBen:
So what was the point about pausing the OTA if it's the same build again?
[Nexus S General] bgrimm:
good question!
[Nexus S General] SupaDupaFly24:
I believe Google said that they paused the OTA to monitor feedback NOT to fix bugs, so how are they leaving us in the dark??
[Nexus S General] madd0g:
So far I know, Google said nothing. No official statements. Only thing was one post in helpdesk forums, when they said the OTAs can be on hold for specific region. No official cause was stated why or if it is on hold. That was a crowd created story.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HeliosAI:
I'm not sure what happened but this morning I installed Codename Android's rom since everyone's been speaking so highly of it. I immediately got reboots right after starting. The screen would freeze and then the phone would reboot. I figured there was something wrong so I formatted data/factory reset, formatted cache and even formatted /system and installed it again. No reboots but the earpiece would not work on phone calls (speaker phone does). I also noticed that the screen doesn't turn off when I hold the phone to my face (so the proximity sensor seems to be messed up too). So I installed another rom: Redemption Rom. Same problem. I installed GummyNex, same problem.

I even unrooted and relocked the bootloader and EVEN THEN the earpiece did not work.

I feel like this is a software issue because it happened after installing a rom AND the proximity sensor doesn't work which seems strange for both that and the earpiece to stop working at the same time...

Is there something else that I haven't tried yet? Any suggestions??

I've only had the phone for a couple days so it could easily be a hardware issue I suppose, but I wanted to check if anyone had anything like this happen to them.*

Thanks guys!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Codename Android....if everyone's so highly speaking of it how come I haven't heard of it?

- Which version of the phone you have? CDMA? I'm assuming?

- What kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HeliosAI:
Codename Android is one of the most popular roms on Rootzwiki
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
This is XDA, not Rootzwiki. I googled it. Answer the rest of the questions.

Have you tried flashing another ROM? Flashing stock images provided by Google?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HeliosAI:
CDMA and stock kernel. I have it completely unrooted and relocked and the issue is still there which makes me think it's less of a software issue. Unless somehow the software issue carried over from the rom?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HeliosAI:
I tried a few other roms and the issue was still there as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
And you've checked the obvious that the headphones work on another device correct? Tried another headphone on the phone?

If you fully wiped the phone and tried it with another ROM then it's most likely a hardware problem. And maybe it was a coinicidence that it broke right when you flashed the ROM.

Go into your about phone and tell me what it says for "kernel version"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HeliosAI:
Yeah I essentially tried everything. Thanks a lot. I was hoping I'd be able to fix it but I guess I have to take a trip back to the Verizon store.

And thanks for responding. I posted this on Rootzwiki and didn't get much help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Assure you flash stock Google images. Otherwise if they see that you unlocked the bootloader at one point in time they may charge you extra for that.

Check kernel version for me real quick though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HeliosAI:
Yeah I made sure about flashing the stock google images.

Kernel:

3.0.8-gaaa2611

android-build@apa28 #1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Okay yeah that's stock Google kernel. Most likely hardware problem, just weird how flashing a ROM triggered a coincidence.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HeliosAI:
Yeah very weird. Thanks again man, really appreciate it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Sorry I couldn't help. Good luck with your new replacement when you get it though.

[HTC Rezound] zonbal33:
I was thinking about getting a extended battery and a decent case for my Rezound. Anyone know of any extended batter/case combos out there? If not, what's a good ext bat and a ext bat case. I was also wondering if an ext battery is actually necessary on the Rezound, will I know notice a huge difference throughout the day?

Last thing, I know people say 16GB sdcard is plenty but I want more. Can someone point me to the cheapest 32GB microsd card? Does Class 10 make a big difference?
[HTC Rezound] RED ZMAN:
I've got the nice extended battery case and holster Amazon.com if you want it. Just make me an offer.

I used the extended battery for about a week while I was on travel, found out I didn't need it.

Still have the extended battery and battery cover also if anyone wants it.
[HTC Rezound] dejahboi:
Newegg :)

Look on neweggs site:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...09&IsNodeId=1&bop=And&Order=PRICE&PageSize=20

I had some coupon code for a 32gb, but I can't find it at the moment. As for class 10, not sure how to mobile world opposed to DSLRs, but Read/Write speeds are really fast. Sorta like SSD speeds over regular HDD in a computer?
[HTC Rezound] txkorm:
I'd check your Verizon store and have them scan the extended battery to see what price rings up. There's a good chance they are still 50% off according to another thread. Don't let them tell you what they think the price is, make them scan it. I got mine a couple of weeks ago and it's been a great backup for the weekends when I'm away from a charger for long periods of time. It does feel good in the hand but still too bulky for me to rock every day.

[Android General] davomgz:
Has anyone noticed that Android phones universally have pretty bad WiFi reception? I've owned three (HTC Magic, HTC ChaCha, and currently Galaxy Nexus) and all of them have had roughly the same signal range--there is one spot upstairs in my house where I cannot get any WiFi on any of these phones while I can get a pretty decent signal on my iPad and iPhone 4. My Galaxy Nexus even shifts between three and four bars when about three meters away from the router.

Are Android manufacturers being cheap with their WiFi chips or what? Has anyone had similar experiences compared to, say, Apple devices?
[Android General] Funciona?:
Indeed

I have nothing to add but you are absolutely right. I had Motorola Milestone which has a good wifi reception, but even so worst than my laptop. So I changed to Atrix, which has a reception a bit worst than Milestone and now my Galaxy Nexus cannot even catch the smell of wifi signal. I'm so disapointed.

Maybe they used the NFC technology to the wifi chip. Maybe I need to use the phone about 4 inches away from access point. Oh yeah I will try this next time.
[Android General] spunker88:
What are the chances that the wifi signal meters are inaccurate, remember antennagate. Do you notice speed differences between the iOS devices and android devices. Try running something like speedtest on both devices. Also try to see the distance until the device drops the signal. These will be better indicates of the real signal, unless iOS allows dBm signal levels.

Laptops usually get a better wifi signal than my Android devices. In the same test area I'm getting -65dBm on my laptop and around -80dBm on my Droid 3. Laptops have room for larger and more powerful antennas where as small devices don't.

[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Check that you're in charge only mode and USB debugging is enabled on the phone. Also make sure that HTC sync is not running on your PC.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sander1384:
Lately, i've not been getting any GPS fix. I've tried the conventional way, putting pressure on the antenna cap, and using several apps. nothing worked.

On youtube i saw a way to pop off the cap of the GPS antenna and flashlight.

When i opened it, it looked like this:

2 black spots on the contact!

What's that? fried? so that's the reason for no connection at all?

so what next?

1: a blob of solder on it?

2: connect it with a wire between the 2 springs?

3: buy a new cap?

Uploaded with ImageShack.us
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dlog:
Where do you see black spots on the contacts?

And if you had black spots on the contacts, the electronics would probably be fried too.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sander1384:
well, its not visable on the photo but in the circles is definitly a black spot!

here it show's up as grayish :S

[/URL][/IMG]
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -shadeless-:
dont worry, its not fried.

the black spots are the normal signs of wear.

i (and many others) have/had the same problems.

some soldered wires between the 2 golden springs.

another thing you can do is lift the golden springs just a bit, so that they make better contact with the antenna cover. but thats not permanent and in a few weeks, you will have to do it again.

i just put a (little) blob of solder on each contact of the cover.

be careful if you do this. the golden traces of the antenna are just painted on and you burn them really quickly, so best just put a bit of solder on the tip of your iron and briefly touch the contacts, because they are so thin and warm up really fast, the solder should flow over quickly.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sander1384:
Ok, I'll try that, if not, i just order a new antenna cap ;)

I'll keep you posted if it works or not!

I currently have a DHD (Inspire) on AT&T and I was wondering should I get the Galaxy S II or should I wait for something better?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Red5:
Moved to Q&A...

I highly recommend the Galaxy S II. If you wait for something better, then you will always be waiting because newer, bigger phones will always be coming out. Right now, at this very moment, the GS2 is the BEST phone to get, and I believe it will remain on top for AT LEAST the next year.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
In short as I',m sure at least 97% of the users here will tell you... I'm gonna say... Yes. You should. However if you don't mind waiting then keep waiting until the next great wonder phone drops.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] votinh:
"...something better", define your term.

HW spec., I'm sure there are phones that has higher freq., higher lcd resolution, .... that might not be suitable for "better", especially development supports.

Skyrocket is one example and Skyrocket HD is on the list to be released.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
AT&T Note variant is crippled... Crapdragon means no pulling any goodness from the GT-N7000 community.

It's not like the Captivate being able to pull from I9000 and us being able to pull from I9100. Yes, our development community is fairly small - but it doesn't need to be large because nearly everything happening in the massive I9100 community is applicable to our devices too.

The AT&T Note won't have that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rav4kar:
Yes - only if you are in non-LTE market/area

No - if you are in 4g LTE market or near-future LTE market

Starting Feb'12 at&t is going to introduce a lot of 4g LTE phones including skyrocket HD.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Even in an LTE market, I would not recommend any of the LTE devices. LTE is not yet mature, just like 3G wasn't mature when the first iPhone was released. (One of the few things Apple has done that I fully support is not jumping on the OMG NEW RADIO TECH!!!! bandwagon when it was CLEAR that the new radio tech was bad for battery life and phone size.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nickel Dime Bay:
WHy do people say this? I am in a LTE area and had a Skyrocket before jumping ship, data speeds were faster but its not like HSPA+ is Edge or anything.

Definitely. It's such an amazing phone, and the people on this forum are really helpful.

I don't think anyone here will say no haha.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] blackstar_329:
I say yes you should get it. I Recently came from the Inspire(DHD).It took me awhile to get use to how light Samsung phones feel compare to HTC. Like mention believe if you live in a Lte area go ahead and get the Skyrocket or wait for the Skyrocket HD. I would recommend going to a local At&t or retail store and try the phone out to see if its to your liking.You don't want to pay for a phone your not going to like.

There are A TON of threads on this. Search our parent forum (where you can see all of the subforums). Go to search this forum, advanced search, type in skyrocket, and search titles only. I saw at least 5 . . . on the first page of results lol.

And also remember that Samsungs touchwiz doesn't seem as polish as HTC sense to some people(I did see something about sense on the gs2 but not sure if it's real or finished).Touchwiz is more based on speed and performance then it is show. The cool thing about the Samsung galaxy s2 is that thanks to amazing developers like Entropy we are able to run the international ones roms with hellraiser.if I really like HTC build n UI then go with the vivid.if you want yo try Android in a new amazing way get the gs2.like I said before try them both out at the store cause when it comes down to it it's your phone and it has to fit you.

I would try to find a rooted rom with the stock kernal to flash via Odin. That way you don't get the yellow warning triangle and don't have to use a jig. After you root, you can use Mobile Odin to flash a custom kernel without incrementing the flash counter.
