Tried backing up to SD card, only 93 mb of space!

---------- Post added at 05:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:28 PM ----------

Haha, awesome. Instead of using backup to SD card, I just chose backup. That default for Backup is SD card while backup to SD card is the opposite, backing up to the phone. I downloaded Nameless v5.0 and the bootscreen is a earth spinning with HTC DESIRE C NAMELESS on the top in Landscape. Hopefully this goes fine... Was really easy installing Touch CWM Recovery. You should update your guide at where the part says "backup to SDcard" to just say choose backup. Phone booted up now, didn't take 5 minutes for the 5.00 THANKS A BUNCH!
[HTC Desire C] Karuko:
I already stated that in the post above you, but it's good you found out by yourself.

BTW the CWM backup gave me a bad md5 checksum, noticed a few people also have the problem, could be due to the CWM itself.

Anyway, I was able to solve it with this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1835914

And we have our own proper sub-forum for DesireC!

[HTC Desire C] MrToastedAndroid:
Mods should sticky this thread in the Desire C sub forum.

Installed Nameless v5.0 and it is running very stable, my daily driver, no problems except for the occasional slowdowns but I guess that's a problem with Android. Unfortunately, a moderator locked the Nameless development thread :(

Do you have a desire C? If you want to root your micromax a57 you should search the forums here. If you can't find any info try googling it. If that doesn't work I might be able to help but my area of expertise is currently HTC and LG phones.

Nameless ROM hosting

So I've noticed the Nameless thread is gone, as einstein.frat got hacked and I guess everything got deleted.

However, I've been good about keeping... well just about every file I've ever downloaded. lol. So here's some links for the most recent Namless ROM I have plus a bunch of older ones too:

Nameless v 7.2.4: http://d-h.st/VAp

Nameless v7.2 build 7: http://d-h.st/Kny

Enjoy :)

Good to see you about again my good man :)

I just had a look at my backups , I,ve got nameless from 4.0.3 to 6.04 and 7.02build 9 and a few oc kernels and I have explosion v1 and v1.1 :eek:

White Background in Lock Ring

When i use your method to change the lockring, I get a square white background behind the ring... So in the lock screen, i have to pull a white square with a lock ring in it.. Please help
[HTC Desire C] neoyoli:
Hey aashay960, welcome around! If you have a backup restore it, if you don't then flash the original HtcLockScreenLite.apk (extract the rom on your pc, go to system/app) back with ADB. If you don't know how to use ADB, check it out in the help/troubleshooting/faq section.
[HTC Desire C] AirCombat:
This is because your image is not transparent in the areas you're seeing as 'white'. Just put the image into an image editor like Paint.NET and use the magic wand tool to select the white space, and then hit delete on your keyboard. Then re-save the image and those white areas will now be transparent!

If you can't figure it out, just upload the image here and I can do it for you :)

BTW, neoyoli/fkofilee, did einstein.frat upload a more recent version before the thread disappeared? (More recent than the ones in my post?) I also have Nameless files dating back to version 0.9 ^_^ I was here when it was barely different from stock! lolz.
[HTC Desire C] paslanmaz:
my brother has this phone we wannt to play around but ı have question about s lock phone says S-ON so should ı unlock it first at start or ı can do root ,custom recovery and flash rom or ı have to s-off first ı could not find satisfying way to s-off for our phone inside tons of pages ı have read for

long to short ı can simply follow this steps with s-on phone or ı should s-off first and how :)
[HTC Desire C] whoamigriffiths:
We cannot take s-off so just follow the guide in the first post and all will be well. Happy flashing

[HTC Desire C] aashay960:
Yes, i have restored my original lockring for now... I had actually made a custom lockring using the Stock lockring image. I added my name and my birthdate using photoshop. Then I saved the file using .jpg. I even removed the background using photoshop. But I read on google that Jpg images cannot have a transparent background..

PS - When I save as .png it has transparent background. I even tried adding that to the lockscreen apk, but then the lockring disapeared alltogether.

[MENTION=4908977]AirCombat[/MENTION] Thank you so much for this awesome guide... :good: rooted and installed revolutionmod3.5 without any issue... :victory:

This was my first time rooting and installing custom rom on an android phone... everything went fine thanks to your guide...

enjoying my htc desire c now... :)
[HTC Desire C] AirCombat:
Awesome Androidness

So I recently bought an ASUS Memopad and the thing barely eclipsed the Desire C so I took it back and for $30 less got myself a refurbished Acer Iconia Tab A110 -- its Antutu score is 12871 !!! So it's kicking some serious ass. Sorry that I'm so inattentive here, my life is hectic lately, I've been spending so much time learning Linux/Linux kernel etc that my phone (and now new tablet) have fallen by the wayside.

HOWEVER something really cool is running Linux on the Desire C! Believe it or not our little phone can actually run a fully-functioning OS on top of Android itself!! I'm currently re-building the kernel for my Iconia Tab to support OTG USB Host devices so I can use the HDMI out from my tab and literally have the most portable Linux machine around :D :D

I will also get around to updating the guide for Revolution ROM but personally, I switched back to Nameless as my Bluetooth was extremely messed up with Revolution. Maybe there's been an update?

Shout outs to whoamigriffiths, neoyoli and other for keeping things going on the Desire C!

If I'm needed, those guys know how to contact me! :) Take care all

[HTC Desire C] dr.pythagora:
I have tried many times to backup the rom - always it reboot 'prematurely', i.e. it does not finish the backup and does not returns to recovery but reboot. The backup is never complete and there is not pattern when the reboot happans.

Is this a bug with the touch recovery?
[HTC Desire C] aashay960:
Yes there is a bug.. You can flash a new cwm recovery 6.0 without the bug. Look in the development forum
[HTC Desire C] dr.pythagora:
help!

Thanks. I installed TWR, but I like better Clockworkmod recovery.

I need some help as my wi-fi is not working - error!

I tried to install the NaMeLeSsR0m_v7.2.4_HtCDeSiReC.zip rom. I extracted from this file the boot.img file (in fact, there were three boot.img files - I choosed tye stock one). Next, I installed the zip rom from the recovery (after data factory reset, wipe ...)

But it didnt work. I managed to restore my backup but now I dont have wi-fi.

Help is appreciated!
[HTC Desire C] aashay960:
After you install the rom, reboot to bootloader (Power down, remove battery, re insert battery, press and hold volumedown and power button)

Make sure usb cable is connected and it shows fastboot usb on the screen.

Open Command prompt window. Type "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and then "fastboot erase cache" without quotes. Then type "fastboot reboot"

It should work
[HTC Desire C] dr.pythagora:
Which boot.img file I should flash?

I tried with the one included in the rom (the boot.img of the rom zip file) but the same error - "Wi-Fi error".
[HTC Desire C] whoamigriffiths:
Gosh Nameless is very out of Date , Is there no other roms you would rather try ? .....

Anyway lets see if we can get you some help .

Here is a link to a CWM recovery that has no reboots .Follow the instructions to put it on your phone .CWM

Right use 7zip and extract the boot.img from the nameless folder and place it in your Android folder whereever you have it on your pc.

Flash nameless and then go backwards to the boot section of cwm and choose to reboot bootloader.

connect the phone in bootloader to the pc .

Shift and right click Your Android folder and choose "open a command window here"

In the command window type .

fastboot erase cache

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot reboot .

your phone should now reboot to nameless and you should have a working wifi .

If you have done all of the above you could try one of niks prometheus kernels

I suggest starting with this one first 767

If that fails then I honestly think you should try one of the newer sense roms

just ask in here if you need anymore help

all the best rich
[HTC Desire C] dr.pythagora:
thanks man! the namelessrom-v7.2.4 has ben installed and wi-fi problem solved.

i'm new with this device - just a couple of days. what would be a stable optimized rom (close to factory sense but tweaks, however) for this device?
[HTC Desire C] whoamigriffiths:
Personally , but I'm biased (as I'm a tester lol) I would tryRev Mod

It was originally based on Nameless but shortly after it was based on source. It's pretty close to a full sense version .

If you want a no luxury stripped rom then super stripped This is the rom I use for benching .

If you want a Sony experience sense rom then SaMs sony based

If you want a sense5 (htc one clone )then Sense5My wife uses this one .

No matter what rom I use I always port the fonts from this rom as they are great (thanks to einstein-frat)

Theres 4 roms to play with and cut your teeth on

if you can live without wifi then the world of CM10 (jellybean) opens up for you thanks to cute_prince and others

hope this helps

rich
[HTC Desire C] dr.pythagora:
Thanks man. Very appreciated.

I will try one by one. For now, I did return to stock - it is the best for me so far after trying nameless rom.

After restoring the stock rom, I run again to wi-fi error.

I did result wi-fi error when I flashed nameless rom (flash boot.img and then rom). Is there a way who I can restore wi-fi with my running stock rom?

---------- Post added at 04:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:34 PM ----------

What I am looking is simple light rom, close to stock sense, with some tweaks (like quick settings).
[HTC Desire C] whoamigriffiths:
well there should be a stock boot.img knocking around somewhere but in fairness if you revert back to stock you should just be able to flash any of the boot.imgs (like the 767) so you have wifi and a little speed boost .
[HTC Desire C] dr.pythagora:
None of them solves wi-fi erro with my stock rom.

I do have a handset from Virgin Canada. Does it make sense that the boot.img should come from the stock of Virgin?
[HTC Desire C] LaKsHaY1997:
Try this one mate

TRY THIS ONE.

RENAME IT TO BOOT before flashing cuz its BOOT[1] ryt now..

PLease hit the THANKS button if I helped YOU!
[HTC Desire C] dr.pythagora:
Thanks for the file.

I tried. Still does not work: 'Wi-Fi error".
[HTC Desire C] dr.pythagora:
Wi-fi is going from bad to worse: first, the stock rom got "wi-fi error". Now, even the nameless rom got "wi-fi error".

I hope the talented experts will find a solution to wi-fi erro soon.

As I am new to desire c and the information is so much spread, I have this question:

is there a rom like the htc stock with the tweaks of nameless rom?
[HTC Desire C] nikhil16242:
Just flash my kernel.Only try the 767mhz kernel.If it boots ,you won't have any WiFi issues.
[HTC Desire C] Phenziox:
revolution rom sense edition, with the stock look patch you should be able to find

0118 999 881 999 119 7253
[HTC Desire C] acultr:
So next step. This one is quite a bit easier.

Go to this link and download Superboot r1 for Desire C

Extract the .zip to a directory (I used, again, C:\Android\r1-golf-superboot or something like that)

Reboot your phone into bootloader mode, just like you did at the beginning of the HTCDev steps in the last step. It should now say ***UNLOCKED*** at the top. If it doesn't, you did something wrong in the first step. Go back and re-read everything and make sure you did it right. Remember, every time you want to get into bootloader mode, you have to remove the battery first, then power on while holding Volume Down

Once your phone is rebooted into Bootloader, and it's connected via USB cable, select Fastboot (again, just like last time) in the menu. It should say FASTBOOT USB at the top

Now go into the folder you created with r1-golf-superboot in it, and just double-click install-superboot-windows.bat

If it was successful, it'll say so. Nothing will have changed on the phone's screen. Reboot the phone. It should automatically load and reboot the phone. While booting up it may take a bit longer because superboot is setting up your superuser privileges.

I bought my wife a desire c.

Can I make these steps to stay the phone s-on?

Thank's
[HTC Desire C] dr.pythagora:
Wi-fi error problem solved ...

I installed a new rom, Revolutionmod v3.5. It solves the wi-fi problem.

It seems that if one starts from the scratch, i.e. wipe properly, install the new rom and flash the boot.img, the wi-fi works properly.

But, if you have a backup, of the stock for examle as I did have, flashing over it boot.img does not solve the wi-fi error issue.

Thanks for all the hints to anybody over here.
[HTC Desire C] nikhil16242:
Hey. Linux kernel version magic check is disabled in my kernels. So you can flash them even on stock rom and have a functional wifi. I think you havent flashed my kernels on Stock , thats why wifi was not working for you.
[HTC Desire C] dr.pythagora:
That's correct. I didn't flash your kernel.

I installed RevelotionMod rom. It looks like cm10 and is smooth. No back to HTC stock rom.

Thanks.

Bluetooth works great, but when I turn my mobile network data connection on the phone crashes and gets stuck in a reboot loop because it doesn't stay running long enough for me to shut the connection off.

Error

Hi i am facing a problem, I followed these steps but I am unable to boot the ROM

1. Downloaded the ROM., Extracted the Boot.IMG file.

2. Flashed the boot.img file with " fastboot flash boot boot.img "," fastboot erase cache","fastboot reboot"

3. Then flased the ROM in recovery.

4. When i restart, i am getting this error message

HTC - This build is for development purpose only, Do not distribute outside of HTC without HTC's written permission. Failure to comply may lead to legal action"

5. Then after seeing this message, I went and flashed the r1-golf-superboot. After that, i was able to go into the ROM- but WIFI says Error..

When ever i flash Rom's boot.img file. I cant go further, and when ever i flashed the Superboot. I cant use WIFI

Please advise....
[HTC Desire C] AirCombat:
From what you said it seems that you're doing the steps in the wrong order! You should be flashing the superboot before flashing the rom and the boot kernel! The message that you are seeing is completely normal, it's something that we all have to put up with until someone figures out how to get an S-OFF for this phone. In the meantime if I were you I would go back into recovery, format your system, cache and data partition and start the steps over. Or at least just flash the normal 600 megahertz kernel.

Actually, to be honest, I don't know what to tell you. You obviously didn't follow the instructions step by step, which is what you're supposed to do. So basically you're on your own unless somebody here wants to try and help you out of it.

I just wanted to root my wife's Desire C so we can transfer some app data via Titanium Backup from another phone, but she'll still be running stock ROM.

Unlocked at XDA Dev, all good, then followed 'Superboot r1' guidance, again all good. Had to reboot to get the Wi-Fi running properly, but no problem. And that's where we stopped for rooted stock ROM.

Installing some ROMs

First of all, I give big thanks to AirCombat, whoamigriffiths, fkofilee, neoyoli and others for helping me with the rooting... Ok my friends, heres the thing..... Im back to civilization so I want to `flash` the rom (i think thats how you call it :P ) on my desire c, the problem is I have no idea how. Nameless rom is gone i see, but AC posted it somewhere and I downloaded v7.2.4 and the Revolution sense edition v.3.1 Im a bit confused reading posts on this thread and I want to ask you if i flash one of these roms will the kernel change as well which means the processor will work on a bigger frequencies, or I have to do that afterwards... The reason I decided to flash rom, is when I rooted the phone, and after one month or so, screen touch on the horizontal line at the middle of the screen went dead. When i touch, nothing happens. Strange thing right? Out of desperation, I did the factory reset and it worked. :D But, 10 days later went dead again. Only this time factory reset didnt help. I did it like 20 times. So I think its software cuz the phone never got physically damaged. I'll be here for 3 weeks and I hope i will make this right. Before I brick my phone, anyone who have any ideas pls share. And I could rly use few tips of which rom to flash and how can I do it. Thanks a lot guys. Regards from Serbia.

It shouldn't be too hard to get a working ROM for the CDMA variants. As far as I know it's simply a case of editing the build.prop and adding RIL libs. The problem I see right now is getting a custom recovery to work.

Hi,

I followed all the steps and everything was working fine. This morning I took the phone and noticed that I don`t access to the mobile network, the Wi-Fi works fine but the Fido network is not coming in any more, it just says disconnected.
