[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] khintz1:
A friend of mine has having trouble connecting to 3g at all for the last week or so. She's running CM 4.2.15.1, hasn't had any network issues prior to this. Tmo hasn't been a whole lot of help, and I figured once they realize its rooted, they'll probably even less so.

So, what is the current radio version? Later than 2.22.19.26I? Where could I find it?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kbeezie:
I'm running 2.22 on my MyTouch 3G Limited Edition. I used to have a Mytouch 3G 1.0... I actually don't have it any more because I bricked it by doing what you're asking to do. I also tried to find the radio for the same reason, except it turned out it was t-mobile's fault not my phone (as I experienced the same problems on my fender, til they caught it).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jephyb:
I am also having this issue! It started a few days ago for me. I cannot hold a 3G connection, but 2G and G seem to work. I've since tried numerous ROMs, wipes, and formats including my SD card yet nothing seems to help.

Any thoughts?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MassiveAttack:
I've had this problem before. For me, it's been accompanied by erratic behavior of SMSing, too. Once it was even an outright inability to connect to the cell network at all.

If that's the case and you call up T-Mo and complain, often they'll give you a credit for a new SIM card, and you can pick it up at a store.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jephyb:
Interesting... So you believe it to be the SIM card and not anything firmware/software/network related? Any idea what could have caused something like this?

Can someone tell me how i can get the downloads to perform the root process on my htc desire

cheers
[Desire Android Development] pympster:
Follow the instructions! lol. Click where it says download and it will downlod the file :) Though if you are using the R3 method then it will probably take you a few hours :(

downloads

I click on them and it just takes me to a web page forum with no downloads - also do i need a linux pc as only have windows 7 pc
[Desire Android Development] MasDroid:
Lol yes, that would be a good start ;)
[Desire Android Development] pympster:
Ok click on this -> click me and let me know when you have downloaded it. If it doesnt download then right click and then click save target as
[Desire Android Development] mph130:
download link

I dont know if missing something but it just loads web page modaco dot com and thats it!
[Desire Android Development] pympster:
ok copy this into your browser:

[Desire Android Development] mph130:
must be something wrong as even when i do that it ends up going to modaco home page again as if redirecting - is there another way i can get the 3 downloads to perform root ie email etc
[Desire Android Development] scottishdave:
romraid.com does appear to be redirecting to modaco.com - not sure why.
[Desire Android Development] pympster:
Hmm odd, ok well I think the mirror links work so I have no switched it to that. I will upload a single file to rapidshare in a second...
[Desire Android Development] pympster:
Hmm make that a double link (it will be easier to have two seperate than a segmented rar!)
[Desire Android Development] paulobrien:
Please don't mirror the whole guide with links here. Please change the links to point to the original post.

[Desire Android Development] pympster:
Sure thing Paul. Is it ok to leave the original version up? Those with linux/OS X machines (such as myself) will find it easier to do it this way :)
[Desire Android Development] paulobrien:
Sure, as long as there's no direct links! :)

P
[Desire Android Development] pympster:
So no mirrors for downloads even if they don't work / take 6 hours :P
[Desire Android Development] cezarL:
Well... not quite, a torrent link is up already at Modaco, that should provide fast downloading ;)
[Desire Android Development] neoKushan:
So what happens when you root the phone? I mean, will I lose any data since files are being flashed? Is it possible to recover said data and keep root access (if data is erased, that is).
[Desire Android Development] pympster:
Re: [Guide] Root your HTC Desire - Via Modaco

[Desire Android Development] Mad Majk:
OK, so let me get this straight. In order to install the APPs on my SD Card using the A2SD I need a Linux / OSX computer to ROOT it, right?
[Desire Android Development] neoKushan:
Mainly things like all my contacts and the "links" I've set up for them (Between facebook accounts and stuff).
[Desire Android Development] kimjor:
No not right, with it is possible from Windows now via the recovery-windows.bat.

http://android.modaco.com/content/h...co-com/307535/rooting-recovery-without-linux/
[Desire Android Development] pympster:
Well all of this is surely backed up onto your google account? If I remember correctly all of the links are stored in the notes part of the contact file. This mean that all the links set up on my WM hd2 worked on the desire! So if you are synced with google, in theory it should all come back :D
[Desire Android Development] qtotter:
write access to /system

can i confirm one thing? paul says,

"The root process will NOT enable you to have write access to the /system partition in normal use of the device"

does this mean that you cannot have write access to /system from desire, but you have write access via adb in the recovery mode?

i could mv/cp files in /system via adb after i got my desire rooted.

one more question. is there any easier way to put the device in the recovery mode other than using step2.sh?? i wish i could put desire into the recovery mode w/o linux or mac...

thx
[Desire Android Development] pympster:
There is a way to enter recovery mode without linux, I will try and find a link to the instructions! Its on modaco somewhere and I think you just download a bat file
[Desire Android Development] alegator23:
Hi guys

First of all thanks for the great work i have couple questions as not so familiar with rooting.

1. i have accomplished the rooting process (linux way), how i can verify that it's done and i have the (write) access to the folders.

2. in additional how i can flush the arabic/hebrew (r1-hebrew-desire-signed.zip) fonts after the root is accomplished ?

3. What is radio (update-bravo-radio-32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2-signed) standing for ? and if it requires to install it, if yes how to do it ?

Thanks for the help.
[Desire Android Development] pympster:
If you have super permissions app then you are rooted!

2. you need to enter recovery mode (using linux) and then go to the flash a zip option. if you need to have the zip on the root of your sd card

3. you dont have to update the radio. the radio is kinda like the software for the phone and wifi. I have flashed it but it made very little difference (I think it is actually worse now!) If you do want to install it then use the same instructions as number 2, flash from a zip :D
[Desire Android Development] alegator23:
Thanks for ther reply.

1. Can you give any example for the Super user permissions app ?

2. Already done and solved.

3. Didn't upgrade the Radio, so meanwhile will stay with the current.

4. Additional question: if i need to wipe (in recovery stage) everytime i want to flush different zip file ?

Thanks for the assistance and replied.
[Desire Android Development] pympster:
1. go to your applications list and inbetween stocks and talk an app called superuser permission... should be there!

4. Hmm, well I'm not sure, I would say that it probably is best to wipe before and then flash the zip. But like I said not entirely sure... Hopefully someone else will be able to clarify this for us :D
[Desire Android Development] alegator23:
1. I have the super user perms application (the Ninja), although didn't put any attention i have this app.

4. Thanks, i run some font zip file with our the wipe and everything seems to work properly.
[Desire Android Development] pympster:
Well it looks like you are all set then :D
[Desire Android Development] alegator23:
Thanks for the replies.
[Desire Android Development] s.t.s:
Hi guys

I am really lost - I have spent the last few hours trying to work out how to make a gold card so I can root my Orange HTC Desire.

I have got to the stage of getting it from the revskills.de page where you seemingly provide your reversed CID and it is e-mailed to you. Is it just me or does this page no longer exist? I have tried download PSAS but the trial version does not appear to work for any of the Android devices and does not even have the Desire in it (or Bravo). There is every possibility that at this hour of the day I am missing something totally obvious?

TIA

Goldcard issues with Desire

Please help, I have just bought the Desire (after owning WM for the past years), my phone is from Telstra and what do remove all bundle software (Carrier is Vodafone) I have also tried the goldcard but am unable to figure out what to do, the code is nolonger free. Even if I am will to pay how do I go about it, I have downloader the trail software from PSAS but it has not Desire in the list and even then I am unsure of what to do..

Please Help
[Desire Android Development] s.t.s:
Hi muttlie - I have just made the jump the same as you from WM + iPhone to Android (got my Orange UK Desire last Sunday)

From what I have been reading during the night you could choose Legend which is available in the current v1.08 of PSAS and the goldcard should work on your Desire anyway.

I am loathe to pay 30€ for the software myself for one goldcard though, the licence appears to allow you to create 15 gold cards I think so if you do go for it I would be happy(er) to split it with you perhaps?

Unless anyone else knows of another route to achieve this?
[Desire Android Development] DrBytes:
I can generate them..

I bought the thing yesterday. I used it once for my Desire via Legend setting. 30 Euros is alot and I have 14 generates left, for a fee I'll generate your goldcard. PM me.
[Desire Android Development] cezarL:
Apologies for cross-posting this, but I think it's well worth mentioning:

a goldcard is needed only if you have a carrier-branded Desire, unlocked phones do not need it for rooting

(thank you Paul for making this clear)
[Desire Android Development] steves1949:
Am I right in thinking

I presume it now costs the E30 to get a gold card? What is the free PSAS for?
[Desire Android Development] pympster:
Ok well before anyone want's to go out and buy anything follow paul's instructions here which give you a free gold card

Modaco Goldcard instructions
[Desire Android Development] pympster:
Ok woops I just noticed that the goldcard site is down :( I shall have a look if there are any other free ones...
[Desire Android Development] AndyCr15:
If it helps anyone, I gathered all info from 4 different sites to make one guide for rooting using your Windows machine :)

[Desire Android Development] cezarL:
Well... it seems that the free app now says something along the lines of: ''Please upgrade to get support for newer devices" instead of giving you the image file (I haven't tested myself though, I had my gc created a couple of days ago)

.
[Desire Android Development] The Professor:
The PSAS team has opted to charge for Goldcard creation now, so if you're on a carrier-provided device, you're out of luck for the moment (unless you want to pay 30 euros). Paul is trying to work out a licensing deal so MoDaCo members can still use it.

If you do not have a phone you got from your carrier, you don't need a Goldcard at all.
[Desire Android Development] SiX-P4cK:
If i understand well, if i don't have a operator supplied, i don't need to make my microSD card into a goldcard.

how can i be sure i don't have a operator supplied (I do not think he is, but i don't want risk to brick my phone on this)

thx
[Desire Android Development] The Professor:
Did you buy it in an Orange or T-Mobile store, etc., or did you buy it online? Did you buy it at a reduced price while signing up for a contract? Are there logos in the OS or programs specific to a certain carrier?

Either way, I don't believe you can brick your phone if the Goldcard portion fails - that's the first thing it checks, so if you need a Goldcard because you have an operator-supplied Desire but you don't have said, GC, it can't push the update files, so it shouldn't modify your phone at all.

Can anybody confirm that? From reading MoDaCo, that's what it looks like happens when a GC fails.
[Desire Android Development] pympster:
If your goldcard isn't setup properly you will get a client error when trying to flash it! It should not brick your phone
[Desire Android Development] SiX-P4cK:
No i buy online with full price. No logo and specific program.

I think i don't need goldcard. good news for me.

Now just waiting tethering bluetooth or wifi works.
[Desire Android Development] The Professor:
ahmgsk's mod supposedly has wifi tether working with WEP, at least.
[Desire Android Development] qtotter:
hi pympster,

obviously, i was not paying a careful attention to the thread. there was a link to the bat by kimjor ONLY two comments before mine. how embarrassing... thanks, anyway!
[Desire Android Development] Mad Majk:
My Desire is unbranded. Does anyone know, how the microSD card should be set up for the rooting process?
[Desire Android Development] The Professor:
Just put rootedupdate.zip (or your ROM of choice) onto the root of the SD card. You can install A2SD after that, then repartition your SD card from within the recovery console if you want to install apps on your SD card.

In other words, nothing special to start out. Leave it FAT32 and throw the zip files on there, then go to town.
[Desire Android Development] pympster:
Yep it should just work like that. But, I would suggest using an spare sd and doing a full fat32 format (not a quick one!).
[Desire Android Development] :
¿does anyone have the a2sd .zip?

thx 4 all
[Desire Android Development] The Professor:
You can find them at the bottom of this post.

Failed upgrade

Firstly Thanks to DrBytes for the CID code, well worth it, but now I have a new problem, I download all the files required for flashing and on a second attempt (Scandisk 2GB) I managed to create a goldcard.

When I start the phone in Bootloader and start testruu the app starts goes through most of the screens, then on updating I get an "error 130 Model ID ERROR" and the app fails. My Desire is from Telstra ROM 1.6.

Can anyone help with this.

Thanks in advance
[Desire Android Development] The Professor:
When you boot to the fastboot option (hold down back while powering on), what bootloader version does it say you have? That error sounds like the .80 bootloader error, doesn't it?
[Desire Android Development] amjad_2020:
Thank you so much ^_^

please i want to ask how to go to recovery next time ?

when i do angina Turn it on again while holding down the 'volume down' button it give me a screen with a red triangle !!!
[Desire Android Development] Poodlemastah:
Uhm, at step 1, I got this:

INFO[RUU]WP,radio,100
FAILED (remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately)
sending 'zip' (137446 KB)... FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))

Rebooting to bootloader...

rebooting into bootloader... FAILED (command write failed (No such file or direc
tory))

now my phone is strange...
[Desire Android Development] mofoliar:
yes, i get stuck as well with the red triangle when i try to put in recovery mode. Also runnin telstra 1.6 as well.. that is trying the tiny iso and windows.. no luck. i really want this telstra crap off since i am using in US. any tips would be much appreciated.
[Desire Android Development] pympster:
The red triangle is the step before entering recovery mode. at this point you need to run the recovery files on mac / linux!

[Desire Android Development] torrente777:
HTC Desire R4
[Desire Android Development] pympster:
I haven't used that method so I am not sure! maybe try to root using a previous set of instructions to see if that works. Also, have you made sure that your bootloader is below 0.75
[Desire Android Development] luminouche:
Same, under Seven x64
[Desire Android Development] kewell79:
so the error is an 64bit error?
[Desire Android Development] The Professor:
No. I rooted my phone under Win7 x64. It's not an OS issue.
[Desire Android Development] scarlaty:

[Desire Android Development] cschmitz:
I also had the 90 hboot error on my rooting under Windows 7, preventing a proper root. I then booted my Laptop (running 10.04 LTS 32bit Ubuntu) and used step1-linux.sh.

[Desire Android Development] mieszko1:
Hi

I dont know what it is wrong

I have done step 1 and when

navigate to the 'BOOTLOADER' and then 'RECOVERY' option on the menu, and red triangle appers on my desire screen

# In the terminal window, enter either 'step2-windows.bat

And terminal show me :

Pushing required files to device...

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

* daemon started successfully *

0 files pushed. 0 files skipped.

- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -

Pushing update file to device sdcard - this may take a few minutes...

- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -

And nothing happens

Pls help
[Desire Android Development] cschmitz:
It seems that most if not all people with the "FAILED (remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately)" bug are using Windows7.

It also seems that by just using linux this issue solves itself as experienced by me.

[Desire Android Development] tembares:
Is there a way to get into the 'recovery mode' (if I use the right term) by turning on the Desire holding a key?

Is recovery mode the screen where I can run an update.zip?

If it cannot be done with a key, do I have to do it with step2-linux.sh?

Sorry, just new with the Desire.
[Desire Android Development] pympster:
No, as far as I am aware you always have to run the recovery file on your computer
[Desire Android Development] cschmitz:
Given the Issues that frequently come up with Windows drivers, i would suggest the following Procedure to enter recovery:

Need:

- Ubuntu Live CD(alot nicer GUI than tinylinux etc, should be easy even for Windows people)

- USB Stick with unzipped r4 update (make sure to make a copy of adb-linux and rename it adb since the recovery.sh for linux calls adb and not adb-linux)

1. Boot the Desire into Hboot via Volume Down+Power, enter Recovery mode (Red Triangle)

2. Boot your Live Ubuntu, USB Stick can be in or not, doesnt matter

3. Plug your Phone into a USB Port

4. Start the Linux recovery, it should work even with clicking, if not use terminal

5. your phone should be in the proper recovery to flash any zip now
[Desire Android Development] The Professor:
FWIW, I never have an issue with drivers when my phone's plugged in during recovery. Just wait until it recognizes it and you're good to go.
[Desire Android Development] muttlie:

We need help in Oz!

Hi all!

Some of us in Australia need help from you guru ROM chefs!

our local carrier sold the phones with a ROM problem that disabled the GPS function of the phone.

Since then they have released a hotfixed ROM that fixes this issue and still retains bootloader 075 but with the newer ROM version :ROM Version: 1.16.841.1

We are unable to use the r4 method to root our devices (get error 43 at last stage)

Can anyone help us?
[Desire Android Development] pympster:
What people have said is that it is not possible to downgrade, as the bootloader won't allow it! That might be your problem :(
[Desire Android Development] zaphyr:
I tried the windows method and got the "90 hboot" error

Then tried the linux version, same error.

Both times I get the red triangle when I try to enter recovery.

So I guess I can't root? :(

The good thing is, my phone is not bricked :)

If anyone has any idea how I, and the others with the same error, can root...I'm sure we'll all be very happy

Unrooting process?

Can anyone explain me how to un root the device for warrant purpose for example?
[Desire Android Development] Scottland:
Can't get 7 x64 to find drivers for 'Android 1.0' device. Any ideas?

(HTC Sync is installed)
[Desire Android Development] cschmitz:
a) you will see the 90hboot error ONCE on linux aswell, its part of the rooting procedure, the difference between windows(with issues) is that windows aborts after 90hboot error whilst linux continues with reflashing. (see Line 35 here http://pastebin.com/Vb1YxLP1)

b) You are supposed to see the red triangle. Then ./step2-linux.sh

Use Linux.
[Desire Android Development] Lisai_dk:
Tryed this on my unbranded desire, the phone doesnt show in finder when in recovery mode.

But the problem is i dont know much about terminal so i'm trying to open the files with terminal using "right click -> open with" but terminal doesn't seem to find the files it's surpose to push.

Anyone know the right way to root the desire using OSX? The guide at modaco isn't really "Android/terminal noob" friendly.

Sorry for my bad english.
[Desire Android Development] zaphyr:
Thanks. I cannot remember exactly what it said now, but I think it stopped with a fail message. This was while using the modaco live cd.

When I came home, I booted an Ubuntu 10.04 live cd, and it worked. I have root. As you said, with one error and then it proceeded.

It may have been the PC at work that was the problem :rolleyes:
