Trying to root

Hiya,

EDIT: found the solution! Use optical trackpad instead. :)

EDIT2: Mirror for the dead links: findfiles(dot)com/list.php?string=r5-desire-root-alt.zip&db=Mirrors&match=All&search=

Download is from an italian smartphone community

I'm currently trying to root my desire.

Step 1 works like a charm.

Step 2 seems to be working aswell, untill i'm in the black n green recovery screen.

console says:

...

Now wipe and apply rootedupdate.zip from the recovery image menu.

nohup: appending output to nohup.out

But i can't seem to select anything in the recovery menu. The list is there, but volup/voldown doesn't move my selection. Am i doing something wrong?

Quick response much appreciated!

[Desire Android Development] djoni1980:
You're using it's original name. If rom isn't signed you could get message "verification failed". In that case, just turn verification off ("toggle verification" from the same menu - you're using amon ra, right?)
[Desire Android Development] kmetek:
oooo djoni you're......

yes i installed amon ra.

Just didn't decided which ROM yet, so damn difficult....

Help - recovery-windows

Hey all, wonder if anybody can help. My phone is rooted (it was rooted already when I bought it from a friend) and I want to put a new Rom on. The instructions seem fairly straight forward but the problem is I have downloaded the r6-desire-root zip file and I need to run the recovery-windows batch file but there isn't one in there? Any ideas? I downloaded the zip file from ulckr..

Thanks

Deam NOOB :p

Hi there,

i own an unbranded unlocked Desire.I am thinking of roouting,but i have many questions that are not answered in my mind.I got OTA 2.2 update before some days.

1)My HBOOT is 0.92.0001, everyware says " if you have 0.72 or lower " and " if you have 0.80 or lower ..." ...mine is 0.92..so?? i cannot root it???

2)My laptop is 64bit,will i have problems within the procedure?should i load Win 7 in disabled driver signature enforcement mode before doing anything?

3)As a Win Mobile user for 3 years now i "hacked" all my phones (artemis-diamond-diamond2-Leo) with HSPL and flashed too many roms, this is the first time at Android.,so is it really necessary to root it?Which are the plus of rooting it??

Thank you :)
[Desire Android Development] ...Ali...:
i know only number one.

i was like you.

you can downgrade HBOOT 0.92 to 0.80 again. you can find instruction in site.

and a question? do you think froyo is better than 2.1?

yes faster. better antenna but slower at gallary. at game. have bug also.
[Desire Android Development] kmetek:
yes

1. downgrade to 0.80 or so

2. your choice

3. very adviceable to root....you can use some nice appk cause of that.
[Desire Android Development] Hellas4:
Ok i'll try it!! thank you for advise!

and..hmm... i complained to HTC for the 2.2... it is almost impossible to navigate in the browser!! yes it is faster..but i think Eclair was most reliable and stable fron Froyo.. they should test it a little more and then release it to public... the answer i got from HTC was..: -Make a clear cache to the browser and the problem will be solved..(bul****!!) - or try i factory reset...(bul**** again!!) I tried both.. nothing worked!

I mentioned them to tell me a way to downgrade to Eclair but they did not say nothing about it...
[Desire Android Development] man00va:
Ok, I have unlocked my phone etc, however when I go in to Rom Manager and click Flash Clockwork Recovery it just tells me it was successfully downloaded every time, rather than coming up with the successfully flashed message. Any tips?

I have an Orange Branded UK HTC Desire and had all sorts of problems with reception and 3G wireless lagging. I rooted using Unrevoked3 and installed a custom ROM (and latest Radio), plus got a cheap unlock code off of EBay and now I'm much happier. Reception is sooo much better. Orange are slow with their updates and they are full of bloatware. Also will never update to any future ROMs (e.g. gingerbread).

Go root it if you haven't already!

edit: no gold card necessary by the way.
[Desire Android Development] bravohew:
Yes... totally agree with canonyau. i was suffering with Voda update and was trying out several methods to install a custom rom. i had hboot 0.80 and 1.24.161.x rom finaly thanks to unrevoked i got rooted and installed Pinky rom yday and ma desire is working as i was expecting to work it for ages.... thanks unrevoked its the best i can recommend for a nooby..... go for it its that easy. no pain no hasle yeah....!!!

Rooting Advise please

Hey Y'all

Been reading up like mad there's almost too much info.

Firstly, I have an Orange (uk) branded Desire that I have Debranded. Then let it OTA to Froyo.

Its now running on Froyo 2.2

Software 2.09.405

H-Boot 0.92.0001

Kernel Ver 2.6.32.15

Radio 5.09.00.20

Secondly, I installed a program Called SDK which was supposed to install all of my apps to the MicroSD, But Clearly it's not quite working as I only have about 15meg of internal memory left even though it shows most of my apps are on the SD card. (I only have about 30 or so Apps)

So someone advised that I need to root with a ROM that has Apps 2 SD on it.

I am getting a little confused as to exactly what I need to do.

I think I need to downgrade my H-boot to 0.80 (Which of the many Tuts out there do i need?)

Then find a suitable ROM that will work on Orange uk. (again, which ROM to use & Tut to follow)

Many Thanks

Fix for FAILED: remote 90 hboot pre-update error

Hi new here, but figured it might be usefull to post my experience rooting my desire.

I have a dutch t-mobile branded htc desire which I rooted using my Win7 64-bit machine (as there is some discussion on that).

I kept getting the above error (FAILED (remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately)), and subsequently when I got to the to the recovery bit it didn't work.You get the:

E: failed to verify whole-file signature

E: signature verification failed

Installation aborted."

Errors. It took me a while to resolve this, so if this is already mentioned here, a second time won't hurt ;-)

You have to execute (all) the steps in the step1.bat file manually. That's it. Be sure to run the flash zip testimage commance twice as detailed in the batch file.

Hope this helps!

HELP!!!

My HTC DESIRE is Orange branded with lots of restrictive orange apps. I want to root my handset to an official HTC Rom. Sadly its bootloader is version 0.83 so the Gold Card Method will not work.

All sorts of trouble Re-rooting Desire

Hi all,

I'm in desperate help here... :eek:

I tried to load a custom ROM last week and some how screwed up my OS, to the point it won't start. I managed to fix it with loading the Telstra updated ROM from HTC website, but was then advised that I have to root my phone again. So I'm now going through the process, but this time its giving me "HELL" where the first time, it was simple and straight through.

Looking through my phone, this is what I have;

* Firmware Update - 2.1 -update1

* Software number - 1.25.841.5

* HBOOT - 0.83.0001

I've tried MoDaCo's instructions to root my phone (did not work) and I've tried the instructions on this thread (awesome work btw) and it did not work. Any suggestions or are there steps that I haven't gone through to root my phone again? ...or am I screwed? (I hope not)

Sorry guys that I haven't replied for so long, but I do what I can.

If so, don't do so, else try an other rom.

Yes, for sure.

You are confusing me more than explaining your problem, cool down :D

Ok, what is a Desire Fastweb?

After you made the official OTA update, you had 2.1u1? What had you before?

Then you followed the rooting guide for branded phones, and used tiny core linux, but this dosn't work ... because you got root anyway without flashing the nand (afaik impossible) by using the unrevoked methode (you are a liar xD), and now you "know how to give a hand?" <- what do you mean, are you meaning you know how to shake someones hand? Nice for you, but what's the question mark for, and what the heck is your problem? xD

" Thanks !
[Desire Android Development] BlackBirdf:
Sure it's possible to do a nandroid backup before rooting?

If you haven't installed the unrooted official HTC OTA to 2.2 you still should have HBOOT 0.8, so take a look at your Bootloader, and just go on if it's 0.8.

Ok, first your Desires brand should be HTC, and your provider/branding Fastweb. :D

And because this is not a guessing game, I need to know your HBoot Version, the rooting Methode you used, and the error you got (It's almost sure you got one somewhere). ;)

Hi,

I have some problems with the rooting.

I had installed LeeDroid 1.9a, but I often had reboots. So I tried to install a new image, but I got reboot loops, when trying to get in the recovery mode, after pressing recovery in hboot 0.80.

So I made a new goldcard and did the r6-desire-root-alt step1 without a problem. But after pressing bootloader and recovery, the desire gets a bootloop again.

I cant boot into the rom, its just looping the "android" sign.

Any Idea?

Thx

[Desire Android Development] martinpelant:
Sorry if it was already mentioned but I dont have time to read all 67+ pages.

Is there any way how to root my desire (not branded, official 2.2) WITHOUT wiping data?
[Desire Android Development] BlackBirdf:
Well, the best way would be restoring a backup of 2.1 rooted, but I think you didn't do so?

Sure you did the full rooting process? Because you also have to do a factory reset afterwards and flash the update.zip, so your phone should be clean and rooted. I also had bootloops after installing custom roms, restoring the 2.1 rooted backup and installing the rom once more often helped me (first thing you should do after rooting is installing ROM Manager and creating a backup).

Q1: Simple way: Use the Modaco Online Kitchen (but it isn't free).

Harder way: Get the Rom file you want and remove the apk's in the update.zip, search for "remove apps from rom" for further informations.

Hardest way: Use adb to remove apps from the rom.

Q2: If your question is how to increase the internal memory? Not possible, but you can install a Rom with A2SD, where the apps will be moved to a seperate partition on your SD card, so you can install more apps,there are some different versions, search for "A2SD" for more information.

Afaik no, but you can backup some of your data, you can search for it, but there aren't many options while unrooted, I just used the default google backup and reinstalled the apps (appbrain market tool is really useful)
