stvcsk I am having the EWXACT same problem as you!! i KNOW I am rooted, I have an application on my phone that only works on rooted phones. But when I press power and home it takes me to a different screen where it asks to clear or something like that. When I press volume down and power it goes to the recovery and says to press home to boot in recovery, when I do that it reboots and stays stuck on the HTC screen, or it reboots and shuts off!! Then I have to pull the battery and boot normally. Ive tried this probably 10 times with the same results! Can you just download the image and drag and drop it in your SD Card or do you have to push it to your sd from command? Are there any special steps taken once you download the img? Rename it,open it under a different program,aomething? No matter what I try I CAN NOT get to boot in recovery, I dont understand.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] poopsie:
"chmod 4755 su"

Does this relock it up all nice and snuggly so no one can get in, like the jailbroken iPhones?

i got this

am so confused about all this rooting and image recovery :( am so new at this am not sure what am doing :[
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gilroykilroy:
Try removing some apps. Sounds like your Hero is full.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] poopsie:
Do a reboot, then try again. I got the same thing even after a reboot, so I ran taskiller and immediately did it again, but that time it worked.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aaron130:
Your not alone dont worry, ive got my phone rooted but as far as booting in recovery and doing a backup i cant even flash the recovery img! And i KNOW i am doing everything right i just dont get why it wont work! It is really driving me insane!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] johnsongrantr:
take a break.... re-read the forums... it will make sence eventually... just take it slow and come at it later after you collected yourself. It's a bit overwhelming at first but after you do it a couple times you'll become an expert
[Hero CDMA Android Development] seankent4uf:
aaron130 - just so I understand where you are in the process - you have/haven't successfully flashed the recovery image? If you have done this but can't boot into recovery, have you tried using command line instead of hardware? I had zero luck getting it to boot using hardware buttons - no matter WHAT combination - but going into your android-sdk-windows/tools directory through terminal and running

adb shell reboot recovery

works for me every time, and successfully brings up the recovery image. From there I can run nandroid backup, and then push in the modaco custom roms and update/reboot again.

I'm trying to get beyond n00b status - but I'm not far - but am willing to help as much as possible!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Dsmithjr:
Reboot your phone and your computer. That's all it should take.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aaron130:
Thx for your reply. I am rooted, but I can't flash the recovery img. I've tried it through cmd, through hardware, the SAME THING happens, it either reboots and shuts off, or it reboot@ to the HTC screen and stays there. I've deleted the img from the as card multiple times and kept trying with the same result. Since I'm already rooted, I can go in cmd and just push the image to sd and reboot correct? I don't have to go through the entire process again correct? Also, could I just downlload the image to say my desktop then drag and drop it to my sd card? I need a video of EXACTLY how to do this or something cuz I KNOW I'm doing it right cuz the root worked, lol thx in advance for any help I'm DYING to see that yellow orange screen with nandroid backup but nothing works,lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] johnsongrantr:
download a new copy of custom recovery, the one you got is probally garbage... assure you download the HEROC version.... the C is for CDMA... make sure it's there the regular hero-ra-blah blah will not work on cdma hero

copy it to your sd card and name it recovery.img

go to directory with adb.exe in it

type in adb shell

type in su

this will change you from user $ to root #

now type

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

report back :)

EDIT... cleared up for less than knowledgeable linux guy
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stvcsk:
WOOOOOOOOOOO.... FINALLY got it to work... literally it took a million tries, and I realized that after trying to delete and start w/a new fresh dl, I had not downloaded the CDMA version. After I re-downloaded it for the millionth time, I re-flashed it, and BOOM, reboot recovery worked.

Thanks for everyone's help!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aaron130:
Ok I am VERY new to Linux, what does it dmean go to directory with adb.exe in it?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aaron130:
Nevermind I got what you mean. For ex. cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools Correct?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] simplyphp:
Yes, that would be correct.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aaron130:
Ok I did what you said, I got to flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img, when I press enter all it does is flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img pops up.

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img(hit enter)

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

Thats what it looks like. Now what?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] simplyphp:
You're done. Reboot your phone:

adb shell reboot recovery

Choose to make your nandroid back up, and then enjoy your rooted phone. Completely optional, but you can now even install this ROM:

you dont do it all at once you do adb shell then su then recovery image
[Hero CDMA Android Development] simplyphp:
From command prompt, go to directory with adb.exe in it. If you see $ or #, type exit until you don't see that anymore. You shouldn't be in a adb shell, you should be inside your computers directory that has adb.exe. Then type the line above.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aaron130:
I already did all that I typed in adb shell reboot recovery and it says adb not found

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Merckle:
Quick question? Is there a way to tell on the phone that it has been rooted like in the windows mobile it would say different build and like who built?

And say when 2.0 comes out how about going back to stock. I made a nandroid back up.

But correct me if I am wrong but the only time you can make a back up is when you root it then put a recovery on there?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aaron130:
Ok got it, SAME FREAKING THING HAPPENS!! UGHHHH. It reboots and shuts off!! God this is driving me nuts!! LOL
[Hero CDMA Android Development] simplyphp:
Looks like the method I use works for half the people here, and then this method works for the other half. Kind of weird.

In the command prompt, what you type should look like this...

C:\android_sdk\tools\ > adb shell

$ su

Now type:

reboot recovery

You can run it normal if your account has admin rights, or sou can run it as Administrator with the "Execute as..." Option.

[Touch HD General] gsvnet:
I wasn't sure if this should go under Rom Development, as it doesn't really relate a cooked ROM.

For a number of reasons, I'd like to load the stock HTC ROM onto my HD. I really appreciate the work that is done by the cooks here but I feel that a lot of the focus is on ROMs that include the latest and greatest functionality (imported from other devices, like the HD2), and I'd rather run the HD with the software that it was designed to run (6.1, TF3D HD (not sense), etc.) so that I know I can rely on everything to function correctly. I'll probably go back to the cooked ROMs eventually, just have different needs right now.

Long story short, is there a way to load the latest stock HTC ROM without removing the current radio I have on my device (1.17 I believe)? Would I need to use a "dumped" version of the ROM, if so, where could I find such a thing?

Also, my device is already security unlocked, etc. I don't want to undo that.
[Touch HD General] mancsoulja:
You dont need to revert to stock radio or spl you know just to use a stock rom, you only really need to do that if your sending ur device back under warranty, your best bet is to go to the htc e-club and download the latest us stock rom, and just flash it as normal :)
[Touch HD General] gsvnet:
Right, but wouldn't loading the stock ROM (shipped) from HTC overwrite the current SPL and radio with the defaults?
[Touch HD General] mancsoulja:
nah it wont, you can always flash them back afterwards if you want, :D

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] jeramiah1945:
Just installed "Duttys Topaz Leo Holy Grail R1 [LP]" on my AT&T Pure and I thought I would add some comments for the rest of you considering upgrading your "Pure." Overall the upgrade was a good idea. Lots of additional functionality, and the ROM is fast and works well. Here are a few comments;

1. When I tried to use the HARD-SPL in automatic mode, it would never connect to the phone. I even tried installed the HARD-SPL manual CAB on my phone but that didnt work either, it just froze the phone with the old AT&T ROM. Instead I downloaded the CAB that was mentioned in one of the error messages that HARD_SPL gave me. Once I installed that, HARD-SPL worked fine.

2. No more AT&T Navigator. If this is a tool you use, its gone. You can replace it with a TeleNav download however. I am using the download for the "Tilt" and while not perfect, it works. You can download it at;

http://tinyurl.com/telenavdownload

3. The Pure came with a very nifty and effective voice dialing feature that requires no training. I found it useful and accurate but it too is gone (if I am wrong, please let me know!). The new ROM comes with a CAB that permits voice dialing but it requires training and is not nearly as sophisticated but it works.

4. This new ROM is missing an applications tab, instead app shortcuts are integrated with the home screen. While this is nice there is no menu option that says "All Programs." If you want to run a program that is not in one of your 9 shortcuts, you have to go to the start menu and leave the TouchFlo system and go into Windows Mobile. This is pretty annoying actually (no fault of Dutty of course, its a HTC issue).

Other than these four things, I am pretty happy with the ROM and the install was pretty painless.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] mshenoy4573:
jeremiah.... I also have a htc pure and I am planning to flash the rom to duttys or any other rom... but I am new to this and I am looking at the steps.

1. I need to use the Hard-Spl first and then hard reset the phone right ?(but how do i hard reset the HTC pure ? I cannot find the reset button I saw a video for HTC diamond 2 but not for htc pure can you tell me how you reset the phone ?)

2. Then I use the ROM to install right ?

Please help me with the steps required
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] jeramiah1945:
UPDATE: Restoring AT&T Navigator on the AT&T Pure

In a previous post I said that when you update the ROM on the Pure you lose AT&T Navigator and had to use a version of TeleNav for the Tilt instead. Well I have found a link on the TeleNav site to download the Pure version of AT&T Navigator. Here it is and enjoy...

http://tinyurl.com/pure-navigator
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] jeramiah1945:
Your Questions

mshenoy4573,

Don't worry about the hard reset, it is not required actually. The ROM upgrade is really quite simple. Yes, the first thing you need to do is run HARD-SPL. If all goes well, you will get the tri-color screen on your phone and it will install no problem. If you are like me, it won't work the first time. If it just hangs or you get an error message, here is what to do.

Do NOT install the manual cab mentioned in the HARD-SPL instructions, it just froze up my phone. Instead, read the error message. You will see that it gives you instructions for downloading and installing a different CAB file. The error message gives you the URL to use, do that.

Once you download and install that CAB file, run HARD_SPL again and it should install no problem. Just let the phone reboot and then with your phone connected to your windows PC, install the ROM of your choice by running the "wrapper" program. Its a piece of cake really.

Remember you will lose the nifty MS Voice Command application and I don't know how to get it back. In a previous post I give a link to download the AT&T Navigator if you are interested. Good luck!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] smielek00:
Actually cold reset on a Pure is "hold vol up and down, press power button", not the soft reset one. Of course do it with phone off to start with.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] smielek00:
As for the voice dial feature on stock Pure - it's called Voice Command (Microsoft feature).

If you want it back after upgrading a rom search this forum for a Voice command cab. Install it, you probably gonna get an error at the installation but all should work ok. You can see it installed in settings/personal.

Cold Reset after re-flashing Rom

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi

Its interesting you said that

you know thats what I originally thought and read myself

but not so sure now (I've seen both choices mentioned)

I used the Vup+ Vdown +Pwr after the first time I re-flashed my Pure

If I'm not mistaken, it just brought up the Tri-color screen and I seem to remember some confusion on my part as how to run the new software from there? (didn't want to re-flash a second time) I think I just hit reset??

Well I know I had a bit of uncertainty at the time if I had actually Cold reset

I eventually developed some anomolies in the system and decided to

re-flash and start from scratch.

This 2nd time I used Vup + Vdown + red reset

after reflashing and I had very clear prompts asking me to confirm that

I would be deleating all my data and installed programs. Which of course I did

and it then rebooted, this felt much more "concrete" than my original experience??

(Now this could also be due to the new firmware and HSPL as well? I guess its not "really" a Pure anymore after re-flash)

But I'm wondering if on my first Re-flash I didn't manage to NOT hold both

Vup and Vdown together and hitting Pwr just brought me to boot mode instead of Cold Reset mode. (very easy to do)

Anyway I do know for a fact I used Vup+Vdwn + Red Reset this last time

and it will work on the re-flashed Rom and everything has been fine and

very stable since (Loving Dutty's HGR1)

Just my experiences as I can best remember and interpret them

Be great if we got another few inputs on this

KJL
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] smielek00:
Thanks Ken,

Might work both ways, I remember having to confirm I want my phone to a clean original state.

On Dutty's HG - hope he can fix autotime when changing time zone :(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] mikeroberts30:
My problem is active sync wont stay connected when it my phone goes to the red, green and blue screen during the flash process. Any ideas how to fix this?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] coldcarbon:
You might need to install the extra cab then first. Not sure about that, but you can probably get an indication of what to do by reading through some of the recent posts in the hard spl thread.

BTW, I just upgraded my Pure to Dutty's Holy Grail R3 (the Leo phonecanvas version). It works great. So far it seems like the R1 in many respects.

First thing you'll want to do is turn off the weather animation on the front page by selecting a non-animated wallpaper. That homescreen animation is designed for the HD2, which has a processor twice as fast as the TD2 or Pure. So I find that it slows things down too much for scrolling back and forth with the quicklaunch applications. But that's just me.

Another tip is to get the 3G icon back by changing the Reg Key: HKLM/Software/OEM/RIL/EnableHSDPAIcon to 0.

I love the Pure hardware. I just wish somebody would release a matte finish back cover to avoid the fingerprints.
[Touch HD General] dwin:
for example: RUU_BlackStone_HKCSL_WWE_1.19.831.0_Radio_52.49a.25.26_1.09.25.14_Ship.exe

This is a Hong Kong CSL English Rom.

Can this rom see the traditional/simplified chinese character by default ? :confused:

I have try to download the rom, and extract the data from it.

I had no idea if it support displaying the chinese or not... :(

I am totally new to windows mobile. :)

The reason I ask this is: I live in HK, I like the English window mobile interface, but I need to see chinese SMS, web browsering and so on...

I don't have this device too, planning to buy one. so... ;)

Really thanks. :D

How long have you had it and no issues? Some of these third party batteries can be flafy and this seems awfull cheao.I am interested to hear your experience.
[Imagio Accessories] Sweeny Russ:
I've had it maybe 2 weeks now and I don' t take it out still waiting on my external charger from hong kong. It really works great and for 17 bucks if it lasts me 2 months I'll be happy but this particular seller has had no complaints about her batteries so I would give it a :D.

How many hours did you get with the stock 1500 mAh battery?
[Imagio Accessories] mattyboysez:
Good find.

I'm guessing this battery is compatible with the Imagio? I don't see it listed under compatability.
[Imagio Accessories] Sweeny Russ:
Definitely compatible, It is 8:30 in the am I charged it the night before last I have 32 percent battery left currently. Now yesterday was a lighter than normal phone usage day for me but I made calls and checked email all day. The oem battery lasts me from about 8 in the morning till about 7 in the evening which is my normal usage which I consider heavy. I email, call, text, and scan documents with it all day long. I would say the rhodium 1600mah battery would get me to about 9-930 before needing to put it on the charger or replacing the battery. With two batteries you can't go wrong. If you are dying in the afternoon to early evening don't expect this battery to last you till midnight because that's unrealistic. Stock this phone has several applications that access the internet and cell phone towers constantly so if you consider what it is done the battery life is quite good, especially compared to my fiance's droid.
[Imagio Accessories] Sweeny Russ:
This is what I use because I can charge my phone, mp3 player, bluetooth headset and my battery operated lighter (don't ask was a gift) and never have to pull it in and out of the socket. You can plug a unpowered usb hub and charge several at once. And then you always have your data cable on you.

So, I got my hand on an Uni G4 (xda exec) that has 6.5 on it... I want to downgrade to the Tmo UK WM5 rom.

How do I know if I have to unlock the sim and cid (again)?

Under what circumstances would the sim and/or cid be re-locked (after it had been unlocked)?

And how do I know if I should do a DOC format? I see that there are a few ROMs that once installed require a DOC format if you want to change the ROM again.

And I did search the forums first, and could find the answers I need. I'm still checking up on the ROM that is currently installed on my Uni - 5.2.23016 (5.3.0 Luca16)
