re-rooting

Hi all,

After rooting and installing cyanogenmod image; The phone was working ok but I was facing problems in the reboot!

I've tired to use r6-desire-root-alt to re-root and install a new software to solve the problem of rebooting but step1 failed and I got a black screen with htc in center and exclamation marks on the corners on the screens!!!!!!!!

I'm not able to start event the bootloader; the black screen persists, I do not know what to do?? Have I lost my phone?

I've bought the phone with bootloader 0.8 and android 2.1!!!!

Please help? I'm facing a big problem!!!!

Thanks in advance
[Desire Android Development] BlackBirdf:
Sounds like paper weight, without a working bootloader you're afaik stuck.

But ask your question in Q&A, you may get help (if there is any) there.

The unrooting tools are from htc, and they have no linux version, so you need windows.

Hi,

I rooted my Vodafone HTC Desire using unrevoked a few months back. I'm now looking to unroot. Is the process any different for unrooting from that listed since I used unrevoked? I obviously didn't make a goldcard since I used unrevoked, would I need one to unroot?

Regarding RUU's do I need to use the Vodafone RUU found in the RUU thread or can I use the stock HTC RUU's found at the top of the list in that thread? If I can use the stock one's what is the difference between the two WWE one's listed?

Apologies for all the questions, but I appreciate any replies I get as I'm very much a newbie.

Regards,

Graeme

Something strange happened!!!!!!!!!!

After I go the black screen "as explained in my previous reply" and could not even reboot into bootloader; I have run step1-windows.bat multiple times till it succeeded after multiple times!!!

then the phone rebooted in HTC original software again not in cyanogen!! I've worked for 2 days on cyanogen.

I can not understand what happened may the phone got the backup image from internal memory or something like that!!

Now I can not see the superuser widget; does that mean that the phone now is not rooted???

help with THEME....!!

hi evry1

i have installed leedroid's 2.2a rom

now i went to recovery menu and wipe all data n cache then flashed the brightsilence theme then reboot but i get a BOOT LOOP.

am i doing something wrong then tell me the correct procedure plz..

no1 in the [theme] brightsilence black expresso 2.2a thread would reply so i posted it here....
[Desire Android Development] BlackBirdf:
Sorry, my fault...

The rom file there already has hboot 0.93, so it should work just fine using it: http://www.share-online.biz/download.php?id=4KA0RH8LFG

Make a clean installation, so reinstall leedroid, flash the theme and you should be fine again, if you get a bootloop this often helps.
[Desire Android Development] globiboulga:
Same issue here. Tried to wipe & upgrade but same result. The flashing process goes well. Then says waiting for reboot and when reboot selected it goes into an endless loop...

Nevermind, it worked this time. Not sure why... Obviously you have to try more than once.

OMG can someone help, I suddenly got this error:

That's not a goog sign, no ultimate solution, but here and there a successful one, see yourself:

[Desire Android Development] bruno1211:
1. Install LeeDroid

2. Boot, adjust whatever you want... But it needs to make 1.st boot!

3. Go into Recovery and than flash theme but DON'T WIPE CACHE AND DATA

4. Reboot and theme should be installed

It should work...

HTC DESIRE Problem

Hello,

I am new and I in a problem with my HTC DESIRE.

I have a HTC DESIRE by the English operator O2 with HBOOT 0.93 and RADIO 5.09.05.30_2 I tried to install version FORYO 2.2 by WIFI, the file OTA2.2 was be download and I launched the installation. After some restart DESIRE jammed on the first screen (blue screen with the logo O2) since the tél does not ignite any more.

What is the solution for problem?????? What is that I have to install a new ROM??? What ROM and How????

Thank you very much for your help.
[Desire Android Development] BlackBirdf:
The best thing to do is going into the bootloader, and use clockwork mod to restore a nandroid backup you should have made before install the new rom...

But because I think you haven't done so, you can either reroot your phone, or try installing an other rom like modaco r8 and the recommended radio file, never had any problems with his roms.

As noone was able to help me and others who suffer from the BOOTLOOP problem and I tried almost everything now, will try to post my problem here too:

Still trying to solve this... unrooting and re-rooting did not help. I am still not able to flash any other ROM than the AuraxtSense 7.7-7.8.1. When I flash the Cyanogenmod ROM, it boots, but freezes and reboots after a minute or two ..

a little summary:
wiped everything, partitioned the SD card (tried with swap, without swap, with ext3 and ext4 partititons) tried even more SDCARDS , with and without a GoldCard, formating using other tools,...
-tried both 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 and 32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14 radios
-tried switching back to 7.8.1 (worked) and than to 7.9 again (didn't work)
-with 7.8.1 tried to flash the OC kernel alone (didn't work)

Seems I am able to only flash my last working rom (no matter if 7.7 or 7.8.1 AuraxTsense) ... others don't work...
really weird. So maybe the real question should be - We can't I flash another kernel ?

What does didn't work mean:
White HTC BootScreen Loop maybe 10 times .. than just stays there (tried to wait for 2 hours - still nothing)
after reboot - hangs at the htc bootscreen

HBOOT version 0.80
tried with HBOOT 0.93
rooter with UnRevoked 3.2.1
Flashing with Clockworkmod Recovery using ADB (maybe i could try a newer one.... any links plz? couldn't google it down)

right now im using defrost 5.3a, and i want to upgrade it to 5.4

how to do it?

and if i want to change rom (e.g defrost to leedroid), should i just full wipe then install the new rom?

Hello. I have a question.

Is there any way to enable the original HTC boot sound on custom ROMs?

I've found several articles about disabling it, but none about re-enabling...

I'm using RCMixHD ROM v1.0.

Thanks in advance.
[Desire Android Development] BlackBirdf:
I think the OTA tool is the easiest way...

For other roms you better make a full wipe, there's a chance that it just works fine, but I guess in most chases this won't work, or will be buggy.
[Desire Android Development] coldmalice:
hello mate, thx for ur reply :)

how to use the OTA?

from rom manager?
[Desire Android Development] mad-murdock:
Defrost got its own ota tool called Defrost setup. You can install kernels and updates with it.

The usual way to flash roms is:

Go to recovery

Do a nandroid backup - you can get back to you old system the way it was with all apps and settings if you restore this later.

Wipe system - called factory settings in recovery.

Now choose install zip file and select the rom zip file you like from SD card.

When its done reboot.

Give the system some time for first boot. It needs to set up stuff.

That's it. One more note: with titanium backup, you can transfer all your apps with their data and most system settings across various roms and system wipes.
[Desire Android Development] coldmalice:
oh my god, so many words i dont understand :(

what is kernel?

and i cant see the defrost setup link in the thread, do you mean the installer?
[Desire Android Development] BlackBirdf:
Please search before asking:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_%28computing%29

Defrost setup should be in you apps, or may be in your settings, I never had defrost.

Just double checking,

I have an HTC Desire, it was locked to T-Mobile. I purchased and unlock code and successfully unlocked the phone making it available to use on any network. However it is still branded with the carrier logos and splashscreen. Do I still have to make a Gold card?

Hey,

really great thread, thank you so much!

i just have a question....you mentioned that this TUT is not for devices with OTA Android 2.2...which is the normal distribution method i guess?

so how do i proceed if i have received my FroYo via OTA?

thanks!
[Desire Android Development] mad-murdock:
Just like normal, use unrevoked and go. You probably read older answers, when there was a difference. Now its not
[Desire Android Development] mad-murdock:
Sim-lock and brand are 2 different things. For un-sim-lock you need the gold card stuff. Branding is just some crappy applications installed, and perhaos a theme. Root your device, install a modded rom and you are brand free. Make a nandroid backup first of the brand os, in case you need warranty
[Desire Android Development] maxiv:
thank you!

yeah, i read the first page..didn't know where to look since this thread is so huge :D

language

"by Rom Manager"

A HTC Rom is by HTC, so you mean with/using Rom Manager?

"RUU_Bravo_Froyo_O2_UK_2.14.207.1_Radio_2.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_14416 6_signed"

Thats the one you tried to install? It should be a exe file, which can't be installed from your phone, only via a Windows PC

"but have every hays the installation stops at 82 %"

Try to install a custom Rom, if it fails, try to reroot, and then just unroot your phone as I mentioned just some posts before

"I have not the screen of the fastboot and recovry."

Please try to explain what you're meaning, can't understand you, the screens are what?

I used unRevoked to root my CDMA Desire, and it was a successful root, but concluding the whole process, it failed to install unrevoked-forever.

It stated in the recovery console that it was an incompatible radio type. Is this a detriment in any way? My phone seems unaffected so far.

Do you have a superuser app? -> root ok

"incompatible radio type" -> only the Roms marked with [CDMA] or similar can work on a CDMA phone.

I got a serious problem :(

I got past the whole downgrading rooting thing and now i wanted to install a custom rom. I worked past all that and it says it installed correctly. Though, when I want to start it it doesn't go further then a white screen with the htc logo in the middle. I tried different ROMS with the same result. What now????

I can't even unroot it cus I can't get the sd card to pop up when connect with a usb cable...

I need help, seriously :(

I'm trying now to completely format the sd card, put the custom roms on it and try again.

Might be wort mentioning, the first time i renamed the rom to update.zip and installed it, found out i shouldn't have done that but is that a really big deal or?

Also, i wipe that devalk cache or something and the factory settings restord, so no cleu what i did wrong...?!

*edit 2* Somehow I got the defrost working, lol. Not sure what i did different though =P Plain luck, bad file, somebody knows?
