Yes, if you attempt to a flash a custom rom that includes Apps2SD/A2SD, then you should backup the data on your SD card. The reason for this is because, with many (if not all) custom roms, excluding the Froyo roms, come with Apps2SD baked/cookef into the rom, requiring you to partition the SD card (which will also format your SD card, wiping everything) after flashing a custom rom. new rom then this will remove all data and apps, but nothing will be deleted on the sd card. I suggest you try backing up your sd card data to some storage media before attempting root and flashing to another rom.

You will notice that before flashing the rom of your choice, it is advised to wipe storage, cache, etc before flashing in recovery mode. After flashing, you can always perform a hard reset if you like, especially if you encounter any niggling bugs.

Yes, flashing will replace your stock rom image with the custom rom image.

You can flash Richard Trip's modified kernal, which allows you to perform undervolting and overclocking of the processor to run at faster or slower speeds. Overclocking will result in better performance but drain the battery quicker, Underclocking will save battery life.

Please read the second link in my sig for an in-depth explanation for rooting, flashing, and Apps2SD.

Note: if your phone is network branded then you will also be required a Gold Card and have an additional Micro SD card.

Note: if your rom comes with Apps2SD preinstalled, then do not install Apps2SD, only partition your sd card after flashing thr rom while still in recovery mode.

The process is:

Backup

Create Gold Card (if necessary)

Root

Place rom in root of sd card

Boot into recovery

Wipe everything

Flash rom in recovery

Partition sd card in recovery

Reboot

Restore backup to sd card.

That's all just too complicated, why is there no wizard application for it? I may make one, but it's still too complicated.

Can't you just open up cmd and type login: root pass: root? :rolleyes:
[Desire General] MasDroid:
To be honest, it's not too complicated, daunting at first, but when you read the nimbu guide (see my sig for Windows only method) for example, it makes perfect sense and it easy to follow. Just try it step-by-step and you will do it no probs.

All you have to remember is...

Dont install Apps2SD if it is already included in the custom rom you want to flash.

Create a Gold Card only if your phone is software branded. If it is generic, then you will not require a Gold Card.

Ok I get myself a class 6(maybe class 10) 8gb card and try it, then I'll pick up wxPython and try to make a wizard ;)
[Desire General] MasDroid:
Just to add, for the Gold Card itself, you dont need to buy a large capacity sd card, even a 2GB one will do fine.

I will gold card my old Nokia 5310 2gb card(although it has some undeletable extras... hmm..) or the one shipped with the phone. I want a lot space for movies, music and apps. So 8GB will be fine.

And most importantly I don't want ANY lag. **** driving me NUTS!

EDIT:

Just saw the tut again, hey this should be easy! K going on...
[Desire General] MasDroid:
Ok matey, that sounds absolutely fine. You could even go for a Class 2 SD Card. I currently have a Transcend 8GB Class 6 but to be honest, I have not really noticed any differences in speed with the applications.

Yes, it's not so bad when you read the guide first, it's looks a lot at first but it's just because all the steps are appropriately broken down, which makes things easier to understand. Give it a stab and if you get any problems, just post back here and I will help you out, if necessary.

Good luck :)

Okay I got stuck at error 170, where do I download the drivers? I don't even know which do I need, do I need the HTC Sync or what? Or should I uninstall some drivers?

[Desire General] MasDroid:
Yes, you need HTC Sync installed (this is on your sd card or you can download the latest version via HTC website). Also, ensure that you have USB debugging enabled (Menu > Settings > Applications > Development).

Hi All,

my 2p worth (for what it's worth)

I rooted my desire and installed apps2sd and all was going well, until I discovered dust (a lot)under my screen and it has to go back to voda.

As there still isnt an RUU for voda uk I have had to install a generic wwe rom. It took me 6 hrs, and the fantastic help I received at modaco, to unroot and reflash the rom.

To say it was brown trouser time is an understatement lol

The only reason I rooted was for apps2sd and seeing as FroYo is going to include that facility, I don't think I will root again in the future.

I'm not saying don't root, but just make sure you can unroot if you need to.

I hope this helps?

Daz.
[Desire General] Smirge:
I rooted the same day it came out but only because i wanted paid apps available. And now its there i definately do not wanted to unroot

EDIT2:

Okay got to the wiping, tried to do the flash but it said I had no zip file on the sd card, so I thought that in the end I need a goldcard, btw can someone tell me what happens if you have branded phone but no goldcard? thanks, so back to what I was writing, so I downloadedthe hex editor, almost got to inserting the image, when i remembered that I already formatted the card already... boom! Of course it wasn't there! soo.. loading up hoping that FAT32 is still okay...

EDIT3:

phew... ROOTING!! yay ^^
[Desire General] MasDroid:
If you have a branded phone and no Gold Card, then you will not be able to root/flash, the process will abort and throw up some errors.

If you still encounter problems when attempting to make the Gold Card, then try this tool as it seems to be pretty good: http://www.klutsh.com/main/index.php?/files/file/9-goldcard-tool-v005/

Superuser Permisions is an app that appears after successfully rooting your phone. It grants access to other apps that require system write access. You will notice that after installing some apps, they will request this access via a pop-up message, and you grant it by selecting Allow permission.

If the keyboard functions correctly with the N1, it shouldn't be that much work to compare the image sizes between the original and the one you want to use. Resize the images to the correct sizing and edit up any that need it, insert them back into the apk and re-sign.

I can assure you I didn't change any settings I didn't know I was changing. And BTW there's no setting that's "Don't let phone turn on without taking the battery out first" and no other settings anywhere, not in EPST, not in Testing, nowhere that would create this problem.

I have found that once you turn it off if you wait 45 seconds all the way up to 2:00 minutes the phone will turn back on without a battery pull.
[EVO 4G General] davidboyd:

I was having this same problem. I decided to take it into sprint to see what they had to say. I haven't rooted or done anything with my MSL. After about 15 minutes the techs told me that it was a bad battery. They put a black hero battery in the phone and I have not had a single problem since. they did not wipe my phone back to factory, just replaced the battery.

Maybe you would have luck with the same thing... My suggestion is if you upgraded from a hero like I did, try your hero battery. if you don't have any problems after that, put the evo battery back in and take it to the sprint store and get yourself a replacement battery for it... I can't guarantee that that they won't wipe your phone so backup first. Always backup before taking your phone in to be serviced.
[EVO 4G General] wfhowell:
Mine was off for 5-10 minutes and no light and no response to holding the power down. No options to power off or turn on. NO response at all till I pulled the battery out and replaced it. It hasnt happened since. Of course I had to be with a bunch of iphone users so they were having their fun. :(

Hello,

Those with root will need to take the following steps to get ad-hoc wifi tether mode working:

Obtain fw_bcm4329_ap.bin from an EVO dump (located in /etc/firmware)

Put in following location:/sdcard/android.tether/fw_bcm4329.bin

Enjoy! (hopefully)

After this install android-wifi-tether, latest from the dev site.

Can someone verify these steps work? I don't have an incred on me but the program should behave this way and load from sdcard.
