Same problem here, Gentoo/Sabayon user, but if there is a ewwbuntu/debian/fedora guide somewhere, it'll help
[Click Android Development] sushkov:
@AsgardCurse did you try this?

xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7683119&postcount=46

Some moderator, can you please pin a thread with linux guides.

I already added the recovery guide, and can add the rooting/custom rom guides too.

I'm using HTC Tattoo with SP-Froyo 1.3 and RA-Tattoo recovery 1.6.x

Thanks.

My phone dont finds Htc Sync but i can find it in ddms and the long nuber is there so i think it is al right, but i gets THIS Error!

Hello i have rooted my Tattoo succesfully, but when i start Titanium is shows the message: busybox works bu the "su"command does not elevate to root: "whoami"reports :whoami"unknown uid 100097"instead of root/uid 0. I think your Superuser Whitelist system app does not work. Anyone knows how to fix this? Thanks, Marvon

[Click Android Development] MetZ80:
Small tip. All u having problems with doing the root or recovery getting permission denied or file do not exsist errors. Try to set up your HTC => PC connection as HTC sync and not as external storage device before running script.

[Click Android Development] em0hawk:
This happens with the latest official ROM. I have the same problem at the moment as my phone has just come back from HTC for hardware repair.

Need to flash an RUU that allows 1 click root.

Problem is I don't have a link to one.

Can someone please provide a link to an RUU which will allow rooting?
[Click Android Development] dancer_69:
Maybe the problem is with the tattoo-hack.co. If you have a rom with newer kernel version you will probably need a newer file too. Replace the tattoo-hack.co with this file and try to run the root proccess again.

Hi,

Even the "Orange Tattoo" can be rooted with this method ?

Is it better to do a goldcard before doing anything ?

Thanks.
[Click Android Development] Zecanilis:
For non branded HTC, a goldcard is always a good thing to do.

It can help you to unbrick your phone!

Cheers
[Click Android Development] Cyalintz:
Ok, thanks.

I'll do a goldcard then.

But after doing it, i can try to root my Tattoo with this tuto right ?
[Click Android Development] DJFUNK:
no space left on the device !!!

[Click Android Development] petar17:
is there a method without a goldcard?

Guys, I'm new with Tattoo...

Can anyone tell me if it is necessary to use a method with a goldcard?

Is it possible (now, since this is, I believe, an older method) just rooting it like some other HTC without a goldcard?

I've already try to find the answer, but searching all the post and stuff??? Think it would be best way to ask you guys..

Thanks a lot, and I appreciate it.
[Click Android Development] kemoba:
If your phone is SIM locked then you have to make a goldcard
[Click Android Development] rallapag:
Check my earlier reply in the following post and link there in to root.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22791415&postcount=10

a quick answer you dont need goldcard to root
[Click Android Development] petar17:
Thanks a lot, rallapag... I assumed that that could be the answer, now I'm sure..

I would, also, like to ask you a few more questions since I'm new to Tatto rooting like I said (but I have a little experience with rooting a Desire)... Do I need to make a partition (for example ext4) for a ROM?

Can you also suggest a ROM (ICS, GB or FROYO) in which I can use blutooth and camera, since there is a looooot of ROMs? It would be really helpful...

Also I saw a rooting method with a single apk file [APP] [ROOT] 1-click root for Tattoo (Latest ver: 1.6.2 beta 5)? Seems to be the safest and also easiest of them all...

I appreciate your help...

Best regards...
[Click Android Development] kemoba:
I would recommend nfinityGB, since everything works, battery consumption is at its minimum and it`s fast
[Click Android Development] kaleun:
I am so thankful for this post!

As a newbie with little Linux knowledge and didnt have the guts to carry out the other guides to root my little gem Tattoo this made everything worth the painful wait!

[Click Android Development] Zecanilis:
It's advised...

If you brick your device and you need to flash a shipped ROM, you will need it... That's your last chance for unbrick it...

Unless you have your shipped ROM, but it's allways advised...

Exactly

Call it an "Recovery-SD-Card" if things go wrong.

I made one in case if I brick my Tattoo some time...

Do you have sdcard in the Tattoo?

If you has it then probe to format.

Firmware may be incompatible.

You can try to install the original firmware.

About the Bluetooth "problem"

Bluetooth file sharing indeed does work on the Magic but not when using a Sense UI ROM, its a known issue (a HTC issue). As I have a tatoo as well, and have tested it, i think its safe to assume that it is the HTC Sense interface that messes with Bluetooth filesharing, not android 1.6 (if you had a Magic you'd already know that)

Regards,

Eyegor
