[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
Hi :) you are in the right section :)

But you cannot s-off and keep all your data. The process Involves downgrading your phone using a tool called an RUU, or Rom update utility. This will factory reset the device wiping everything. You can manually back up your contacts, sms and everything from the sdcard manually but as far as app data goes you will have to lose it to gain s-off. But I will check and see if I can spot a non root app back up app on the market.

Sorry but the quick answer is no pal. If you used a root exploit like psnuter you could gain temp root access but these methods lead to lots of instability. Sorry :/

Hello everyone, I have read that to get root permissions on a htc wildfire these must have hboot 1.001.0001 and 1.001.0002 hboot instead who owns the world may be able to have root permissions without first obtaining the dell'hboot downgrade. I wanted to know if it is possible to downgrade without losing data.

Thank you for all
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daltanious78:
Hello everyone I have read that to get root permissions on a htc wildfire must first get the s-off. I am in my HTC Wildfire but I 1.001.0002 version that does not allow to do the s-off, I read on the internet that it is possible to downgrade to the previous version dell'hboot the 1.001.0001. what I wanted to know if it is possible to downgrade without losing all the data that is in the phone. or alternatively if there is a program like titanium backup that allows you to make a copy of data or sd or the cloud such as Dropbox without having root permissions and it works with the version of Android 2.2.1 (froyo). thanks for the help I will succeed in giving.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
I just want to male clear for all new users about backing up data without root. It is not possible on this phone without root and since we need to downgrade to get root, if you have hboot 1.01.0002 or higher you will lose your app data. We cannot change that fact. For anyone that needs help downgrading please refer to the dedicated threads. Cheers,

Heavy metal man.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] papercutout:
So I've been trying to root my dads old Desire for a while now, with no success - it is locked to o2 and I'm on Orange. I didn't really want to pay to unlock it, and rooting it would have been nice. I've done two phones before, so I figured it shouldn't be too bad. Eventually I discovered it was HBOOT 1.03, and this was the problem, so the solution was to backdate the software to an earlier version (the phone is still S-ON and I cannot get this thing to take ANYTHING)

I was trying to roll back from Froyo to 2.1.

The current problem is that now the phone will not boot. With a simple turn-on it just sits at the white HTC screen, or if you go into Hboot it tries (what I assume is) 'fastboot' and checks the PB99IMG.zip file on the SD card. If I say I don't want to update and go to 'recovery' it loads the screen with the exclamation mark in a triangle in it. The problem here is that pressing up+power does nothing. I've tried a quick press, and a long hold multiple times, and with no result except the first time. Unfortunately I didn't go through the proceedure the first time, assuming it'd work again. Damn!

If I start the update it says 'can not roll back the hboot version'. It also fails on the radio_v2.

Any help will be much appreciated, and if you need any details (I've probably missed something) please ask!

Thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
If it fails with Radio_v2, then it's a radio brick, and that's the reason it won't boot. I'm afraid you can't do much, due to the hboot version.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] papercutout:
I'm not too worried about getting a different rom on it, or rooting it or anything any more, currently I'd like to just put it back into a working state, as it was, probably locked to o2, if you've any suggestions on how to do that?

Also how do I run the RUU on my computer? What file is it in the HTC Desire Android Upgrade folder I need to run? Afterall, there's no file titled 'RUU.exe'

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
Just realized that it wouldn't work, because you have to boot your phone for the downgrader tool.

You could try something else. Unlock your bootloader using the HTC Dev site :http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader, and then try installing a custom recovery.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] papercutout:
I've unlocked the bootloader (although obviously I'm still S-ON and HBOOT 1.03), so how would I go about installing a custom recovery?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
You download this:

You then use fastboot to flash it:

That worked spot on! Have you got anything you'd recommend I put on there now? (factory reset didn't do anything, didn't really expect it to)

I tried cyangenmod7 for the desire, but with no luck. File 'BAD' or somethign when tried to read it from the SD card.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
Try a MildWild ROM. Maybe the CM7 download was somehow faulty.

You're getting good at this ;)

So, that's on and working, but it's still locked to the carrier, o2. I've just tried 'HTC Desire unlock v0.9.5' but that didn't work (despite the program telling me it went flawlessly).

Any more suggestions?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
Try using a different USB port.

Nope, nada. I tried v0.94 too. Nothing again. I guess I'll need to get a key. Damn that hboot 1.03!

Required

android sdk

latest java runtime environnement ( doesnt have ? click here )

Installation

Install the android sdk

Connect your device through USB cable and ensure it’s detected with “adb devices”

Make sure you have Java Runtime Environnement 5 or later installed

Click HERE. You can launch it by typing “javaws <jnlp file>” from a command line.

If mouse/keyboard control doesn’t work, open a command line and type :

adb shell

su

chmod 777 /data/dalvik-cache

cd /data/dalvik-cache

chmod 777 ./

Features

Mouse and keyboard control FOR ROOTED DEVICES ONLY

Landscape mode (right click)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] minionhunter:
Hi,

Instead of reading Samsung Galaxy S4 on the initial splash screen on bootup, my phone now says Samsung the picture of an open unlocked padlock and the word custom. Searches suggest that triangle away may fix this problem.

I'm wondering

1. If I can use triangle away on my phone to remove this message and return to the normal bootup splash screen

Notes:

Rooted Samsung GS4 for Verizon, VZW updates disabled with Titanium Backup, MDK

No custom ROM

I did not use goomanager until after I noticed this

The problem was noticed sometime after I enabled the WiFi toggle (and hotspot and air gesture) which is my guess to what caused it

Other than that I have been installing various apps that require root between noticing it and now (could these have caused it?)

I installed TWRP just last night per droidmodderx's youtube guide and made a backup but I have not flashed any ROM and don't really plan on it at this point.

So is my ROM stock Samsung even though I enabled the toggles? The guides for Triangle Away for the GS4 all say I need an "unlocked bootloader" but it is my understanding that at this point in time, that does not exist, there is just the loki workaround.

Thank you for any help or suggestions you can give me. I would like to make a TWRP backup as close to stock rooted system as I can (maybe its too late) so I can use ROM Toolbox to start making modifications to my phone, but I don't really want to install a custom ROM right now. So I think I should try to get rid of this "custom unlock" splash screen before I go forward.

Samsung Slate 7 pen with erase button

Mostly I use an external S-pen from my Samsung Slate 7 win 7 tablet or the internal pen but nearly never my fingers, and not only because the pen does not smear the screen. I bought the Note 2 and 3 only for the pen support as tablet and don't have a sim inside. As phone my wife and I use a Samsung 5722 Dual-Sim cell phone which can last up to a week, to avoid beeing out of battery when we use the Note extensively.

Handwriting recognition is faster then typing and as good as my Samsung Slate 7 win 7 tablet. The erase function is supporte n Note 2 and 3, but requires the erase button on the opposite site of the pens writing tip. Thats why I have a spare pen from my Samsung Slate 7 win 7 tablet right next to my writing pen.

Besides typing and notes taking and small drawings I use it also to scratch my nose.
