Hey,

All im wondering is what http://unrevoked.com/ is?? i know it says easy root but what exactly does it do??

Thanks :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lambrospower:
it flashes the clockworkmod recovery into your phone and that way you don't need a pc or the shortcuts we were using so far to enter a recovery that enables us to flash new roms etc...and i think this way you can backup your ext partition on sdcard (haven't tried it yet)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Isn't it for the Evo and Sprint Hero only anyway?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rolfd:
Basically, once you root your handset and you want to try out a new rom you used to have to connect your phone to a pc and push the recovery files to be able to do anything.

Then cloclworkmod recovery was written that allowed the recovery files to be stored and started from the SD card, therefore removing the dependancy on a pc to push the files.

Now this new one, unrevoked, flashes the recovery files directly to the recovery section on your phone. No need for a PC and no dependancy on the files being on the SD card. So now, once you flash this, you simply reboot your phone with the volume button held down. Wait a few seconds then scroll ro 'recovery' with the volume button, then press the power button. This takes you directly to recovery menu that allows you to backup your current rom, flash new roms, wipe your cache etc.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lennshow66:
So it doesnt root my phone for me??
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jstegeman:
No, you must have root already
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rolfd:
NO! You have to be rooted to use it. Rooting is very easy though.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lennshow66:
Haha im scared of bricking my phone haha
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rolfd:
Lol I was the same, and I did brick my first one. The infamous usb brick. BUT, and it's a big but... That is no longer a problem with the new methods. Even if you did somehow manage to brick it, it can be fixed!

If you read the guides and follow them you will have a nicely rooted phone and any number of custom roms at your disposal. I don't think I could live with a stock desire now :p
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lennshow66:
whats the best guide to use?? and whats the difference between stock and rooted rom??

Thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rolfd:
The guide on modaco is probably the most recent one to use. it's called risk free root or something.

The difference between stock and rooted is quite big. Stock is just that, what HTC decides to give you. Once you root you can put on any desire rom available in the dev section here. They include experimental roms for froyo, loads of 2.1 roms. 2.1 is what you are on now. The 2.1 roms are tweaked to give better battery life, nicer looks, more features etc. Also on a rooted rom you can use apps like titanium backup which will backup all your apps and their info. Market enabler is an app that allows you to buy apps if you are in a country not yet supported by the market. Setcpu can be used to overclock the processor. Any new updated roms that HTC release will usually be tweaked and availaible to you well before the official release.

These are only a few advantages to using a rooted rom. Have a wee look in the development forum for the desire and see what is available.

Was showing my phone off today in theatre, and went to do google goggles and it went black ... waiting waiting... nothing..

Tried again and black..

tried normal camera Failed to connect to camera pops up...

rebooted phone 3 times and couldnt get it working, my heart sank as it means I would have to ship it back to UK from AU.

All of a sudden it is working.

Anyone else had this issue? I took the battery out and rebooted and it still wasn't working under camera or app...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
It sounds like you have a corrupt correlation between Goggles & WiFi.

It's been mentioned here.

As mentioned by one of the persons on that thread do the following:-

"Try uninstalling the app, then reinstall it but when it asks if you want to enable or disable history, select disable". :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dan 6a:
Read the thread and no that advice didn't work :(

I am unable to find what triggers it to fail as I didn't even use goggles today, just the camera.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
Even though you did not use it, it may still be being called every now and again.

Consider removing it temporary just to test.

Otherwise, lets look at what other software you have installed which may be interfering with the camera?

Do you have installed and use Fring?

It is notorious for doing this.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dan 6a:
I did have fring installed. But I have done a factory reset and hoping it doesn't occur again.

Ill leave fring off and see if it helps. If it was common for fring I wonder how my google searches didn't come up with it?

Ta for your replies Beards, This is my first smart phone and still getting used to it all :)

I did uninstall goggles and reboot but it was still failing, so fring seems like it was maybe to blame..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
No problem with the replies and helping you out.... I know what it is like when you are stuck and have no one other to turn to.. quite frustrating.

My money is definitely on Fring.

As to searches but you could not find... have a look here and read post number 1127.:)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lgkahn:
i was having same problem on jf7 f/w you mentioned fring so i realized i had not gone in fring and ran the test video call.. i did that and now camera is working again.. not sure if that was the issue or not.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
Again my money is on fring being the culprit.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Phoenix2000:
Got that also on mine today.

And indeed, that was because of Fring.

Uninstalled, and camera is back.

Thanks for the tip guys.

Hi all,

My friend is having Nexus One with Android 2.1 update-1 build EPF30, bought in Vodafone Germany .After following general steps to update to Froyo we get the error E:signature verification failed message as well. from a bit of googling it looks like this upgrade “only” works for build number ERE27. Is there an alternative for the phones with build number EPF30 to upgrade to ERF50 or latest Froyo without rooting or unlocking?

Hi there

I live in AUS where they aren't out yet so i imported one and it turned out to be an EPF30 model aswell.

And after looking around im pretty sure there is no Superboot for this build yet BUT i was able to do the other option from this post to get mine rooted and get Kang o rama installed.. (for some reason Cyanogen would not work for me.)

But you should also know that it is now possible to root your nexus without unlocking the bootloader / voiding your warranty (i wish this came out just a few days earlier so i could have done it)

READ IT BEFORE DOING IT

How to get into recovery

This is the way i figured how to get it into adb. I spent all day figuring this out.

It will take a couple tries but it will work

-Go to sdk folder then usb driver folder

-Make sure you have added to the inf file ; HTC Eris

%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C98

%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C98&MI_01

-Have a formated sd with allocation size of 4096.Don't format with phone do it with card reader or if you can't do it with usb...

-Boot your phone into HBoot with sdcard in.

-When the screen turns on wait a sec pop out sdcard make sure it doesn't scan sdcard.

-Start loop.bat or .sh

-Push volume up for recovery before wait 4 secs before your computer makes the sound pop it in.

-^^^Make sure you got around 3-5 secs before pushing it in

What to do when in adb recovery

-Do down volume and power and hit update it will fail.

-Adb push ota.zip /sdcard/update.zip

-Adb push root.zip /sdcard

-Have this command ready don't do it yet.

-Adb push update.zip /sdcard

-Press Hit run update.zip, as soon as you see a the green lil bar on your phone. PRESS ENTER ON CMD.

-Go to the partitions menu and mount system

-Go back and press update select install any zip from sdcard.

-Choose root.zip

-Reboot phone and install superuser.apk and allow it.

-Do adb shell then su if you see # you have root

-Download rom manager from market.

-Flash recovery ra or clockworkmod.

-^^^ if it doesn't let you, you messed up on rooting it.

Ill post a video of me doing it later. To lazy now

ADB RECOVERY VIDEO

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uhc3SvOS6r4

PS ill figure it out later how i did with more practice :D

and don't flame or say video fake.. Or i just won't figure it out.

[Droid Eris Android Development] Morkai Almandragon:
I do not have the hardware to try this, but I wonder...

If someone had a usb flash sd adapter (IE you plug a sd into a USB stick), a SD card that may get ... well damaged, and some time..

There is a free HP USB tool that allows you to Partition, set USB drives as non removable etc.

If the object here is to confuse the phone, a non removable SD card with 15 partitions should do the trick no?

Hell Im not even sure it would work, but worth a shot.
[Droid Eris Android Development] bshiznit:
Right evidently the recovery mode initializing the SD card causing a pause is key - no luck here (yet) playing with the card in either OS :(
[Droid Eris Android Development] khol91:
I want this to be true so badly but I have tried a lot and I don't think it is. I watched the proof videos but they make me more suspicious. There's a subtle change in both videos that could be time to switch phones. It happens in both vids at about 17 seconds. A video with sound might help, but only if I could see somebody talking and tell that the sound syncs with the video.
[Droid Eris Android Development] :
Yea, not wanting anyone to give up though! We could still have that breakthrough here or soon at least, it would be the kind that could get the masses to finally root their Eris and be done with it, and go from there. Who knows. :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hairston:
Friggin' aye it works!

Hey guys. First time poster, long time lurker, and long time regrettable leaker. Two words: THIS WORKS!

I was so happy when I was successful, I had to sign up for an account and make a post. I followed the instructions on the first post of this thread for rooting the Slide to the letter.

Some things:

1) I was on the 2.1 Leak v3

2) SD card was a crappy $9.95 PNY 2GB card from Wally World formatted for 512bytes with FAT32 (don't know if this made any difference, I was reading the Incredible rooting thread)

3) I did not do the loop thing. I just watched XP's Device Manager until I saw "Android Composite ADB Interface" come up when I was in recovery (The /!\ screen). I then did an "adb devices" on my PC. I almost fell out of my chair when I saw it listed.

4) Took me about 10 tries.

5) I used the Android SDK USB drivers with the modded .inf file

6) I always started recovery with the SD card out. On my successful attempt I only clicked the card in and out twice. I didn't do it fast either.

7) I was pulling the battery after each unsuccessful attempt (no idea if this made a difference).

8) Running XP SP3 32-bit

Takes some practice to get the steps correct.

Big thanks to DC_Striker and his sidekick.

To quote DC: If I can do it, anybody can. Don't give up.
[Droid Eris Android Development] khol91:
Yeah don't get me wrong I'm definitely not giving up on this little guy! I love my Eris even without root. I just want root back, it makes my phone so much...better lol:D
[Droid Eris Android Development] lostsync:
I used to work in a datacenter on the repairs team. We used to do some hard drive tests using dd to write random data to a drive while watching dmesg for errors. This could be of use to some of you, perhaps.

dd if=/dev/urandom of=/path/to/your/sdcard

noob notes: that sdcard path is not meant to be taken literally. this will not work on windows. man dd is your friend.

these were huge drives, so we never really needed to limit the process in any way, so in all honesty i don't know how to do so...or even if it'll just stop when its full or not (it should, i believe). if not, you'll need to specify how many bytes to write, which i assume is probably pretty easy. also, iirc, we were writing to the drives via /dev, not a mount point, but i could be wrong. this was a while ago. sorry, i've never needed dd for anything before or since, so my knowledge of it is limited.

anyway, given that the data being written is complete and utter garbage, it could provide a decent delay when the phone tries to make sense of it. could also not, i dunno. using this on the largest, crappiest card you can find is probably your best bet.

hope that helps.

OP says have a clean sd card, so this may actually be terrible advice.
[Droid Eris Android Development] :
@Hairston: Million dollar question for everyone on this thread, does your method work for the Eris too, or just the Slide? Thanks. No pressure.

What if we filled the sdcard to the absolute max on data i still have the original sdcard that came with mine can't get a crappier one till tomorrow.
[Droid Eris Android Development] lostsync:
He says he's on 2.1leak3. Sounds like an Eris to me.
[Droid Eris Android Development] :
Hey guys this is weird I followed his latest instructions, but my Eris shows up as an "HTC Android Phone USB Device" under "Disk Devices" in Device Manager. I even tried it with a 1 GB SD card out, is that the problem, the fact that I'm using a 1 GB Micro SD card? Either way it shows up as a Disk Device, weird huh? I should be seeing Android Composite ADB Interface instead, right, as Hairston said.

@acidroot: plus I don't get why filling sdcards can be useful right now. Can you elaborate? Actually, better yet, just tell me if filling the card I have will help me towards getting root, and to help others.
[Droid Eris Android Development] AcidRoot:
Well i was thinking that the whole point is to get a delay of the sdcard mounting(i think?) and filling it would cause it to take more time to read everything but im probably wrong.
[Droid Eris Android Development] :
Wait a second, I just figured that the SD card can be left alone since Hairston's guide mentions formatting the SD card (and therefore not doing anything with it directly). So this also means that filling the SD card is not needed yet in this particular case.

If someone could tell me how to get my device driver to show "Composite ADB" I would be in business! Also no pressure on you guys :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] :
But yeah keep coming up with ideas people. This is good. Good to propagate ideas until we are all satisfied with our Eris/phones after we root, hopefully.

@Acidroot: Your idea is a good one actually, keep em coming. :D

Was your Eris a refurb?

Or if not, did it previously have root and you accidentally un-rooted (and were therefore trying this method to re-root)?

Ok, real quick question. I can't even get my phone to come up in the list of devices when I do "adb devices" when the phone is in normal running mode, and I can't get it to show up under device manager.

Huh? Re-read my post bro. I used the Slide instructions to root my 2.1v3 leak Eris.

It's not my method either. All props go to the original posters.

Some other stuff:

1) My SD card was blank (no idea if this made any difference)

2) I had USB debugging turned on before I booted into recovery mode to give it shot.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hairston:
Nope, no refurb. Came with 1.5 and I've had the phone since January. I jumped on the leak band wagon like all the suckers regrettably. I have never had the phone rooted until now.

I can't believe only two were successful so far. I am no dev by any means. I must have got the right combinations down and the planets were all in alignment.

I sincerely wish all the leakers luck. This has been a thorn in my side since the announcment that original root method didn't work for us leakers.

First victim?

**EDIT** Wow, feel like more of an idiot now, after taking out and putting my battery back in, it finally booted up again. Not sure what was happening when I couldn't..**

Is it possible to brick your phone in steps 1-6 of the Slide Root method? I think I just bricked mine by pulling the battery while in recovery mode in step 6. I got up to that point and pulled the battery a handful of times, though, before I couldn't turn it back on. I didn't really consider if there was any other way to turn the phone off from that screen.

Am I the first victim?
