I had problems rooting at first too... and I hope this helps you some...

My biggest problem was the drivers, and getting them loaded properly. After I switched to Windows 7 and the Unrevoked drivers (rather than modding the SDK drivers), I used a combo of methods to get rooted in under 10 minutes.

For what its worth, I'm using the 16 gig Sandisk class 2 that came in my Moto Droid.

I used a combination of the following instructions...

Finally got Root with 2gig card that came with phone - xda-developers

public:adb_in_recovery [RootWiki]

and instead of modifying the USB drivers that the SDK downloads, I used the drivers from -> public:windows_hboot_driver_install [RootWiki]

I couldn't get the drivers loaded in XP sp2, so I switched to Win 7 and it was fine.

to sum it up..

1. Download SDK (android-sdk_r06-windows.zip) from Android SDK | Android Developers

2. unzip the SDK to the root of drive C

3. download the "unrEVOked modified USB driver" from public:windows_hboot_driver_install [RootWiki]

4. unzip the "unrEVOked modified USB driver" to the C drive

5. make sure USB Debugging is enabled on the INC. (settings->applications->development->check the box for USB Debugging)

6. Power the phone on, connect via USB cable to PC, and select "charge only"

7. load the drivers. For the ADB driver, Windows add new hardware wizard should prompt you about not having a correct driver, point it to the unzipped "unrEVOked modified USB driver"

8. create a loop.cmd or loop.bat in the SDK\Tools folder which just loops "ADB SHELL"

:top
adb shell
goto top

9. open command prompt, navigate to your SDK\Tools folder and type in: adb devices. when you hit enter it should list your phone as being connected.

10. at the prompt type: adb reboot recovery and press enter

11. as soon as the prompt is back type: loop and hit enter to start the adb shell loop. As soon as the loop starts running, the phone should show the white HTC Incredible screen, start clicking in and out the sd card before you hear the device disconnected sound on your pc. keep clicking the card in and out until you hear device connected sound on you pc. Look for "failed: No such file or directory" message on PC, if you see it, you're in Recovery Mode and ready to go onto the next step. If you don't see "failed: No such file or directory (2) for after another 10, 15 seconds stop clicking the card. take the battery out of the phone, put it back in, wait for it to reboot and repeat this step.

12. Once in recovery mode, I finished up by using the instructions under the heading of "I just got ADB running in recovery mode! Now what?" on -> public:adb_in_recovery [RootWiki]

Credit go to the above links... I just took what I used from each and summarized them here..

I did not purchase a new card.

And again, I had problems loading the driver in XP, so I had to use Win7, and I imagine Vista would have worked too.

Sorry if this doesn't help any.
[Droid Incredible General] ksizzle9:
I can confirm after many many many( u get the point) hours of trying to root that the correct driver and the ten minute root video did the trick. Use the root wiki like the post above says and you will b golden.

Edit: I also used the 16 gig from my motor without problem. Its all about the drivers

Am I the only person who gets "Navigation is not available in your area" when I load the navigation app? Samsung are selling the phone with navigation as a feature, one I intended to use which is disabled because?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tysj:
I was under the impression that Google Navigation was only available in the US as of right now.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chaoscentral:
I'm pretty sure they opened it up recently to the UK a short while ago, but so far I think thats it
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Obispal:
I had the same issue, had to instal brut google maps to have working navigation. I knew google maps navigation wasn't available here, but it was kind of among to have a non working app pre installed ob a phone that is sold locally.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Obispal:
Sorry double post.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hernit:
Just install Brut google maps
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kyleh0000:
what is brut google maps? i cant find it on the market
[Galaxy S I9000 General] PhoenixFx:
Its a modified version of google maps and Navigation that works outside of U.S. I use it all the time here in Australia. Perfect !! :D

Not available in the market, but you can find it here.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TriC_101:
Its works in Canada.. Google Navigation has been working in Canada for about a year now.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
There's no google Nav in aus yet as mentioned. Brut[maps] works, but be aware there are still some small subtle oddities (which don't really affect it's use), such as going the wrong way around on roundabouts (So if it says second exit, that might mean second exit counterclockwise, NOT the correct way).
[Desire General] Sherwood W:
I seem to be having some problem with my HSDPA connection on my desire. I'm wih Three UK and I can't tell is it is my network on the phone.

What happened is for some reason it just wont work anywhere I go. For the first few weeks its worked fine and then towards the end of last month they sent me texts saying they would cut my internet off if I carry on using it but I can't see that having anything to do with it as it is a new month.

The phone is rooted and I've flash the new DeFrOsT Rom (2.0a) and it started working again but then when I logged into the Facebook app it stopped working and went to R (also the wholetime I'm connected to a wifi and when I disconnect from wifi I still get the no connection).

I tried uninstalling Facebook and logging out and no luck :(

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this or it is happening to them or you know a fix.

I also attached some screenshots of the message I get, I can't actually read the full message as it cuts it off and then when you select it, it just takes you to the homepage.
[Desire General] cgrec92:
the R is for roaming

how is the signal strength where you're located?

go into settings -> wireless and networks ->

tell me what roaming settings you have enabled

untick the box to allow data roaming

data roaming will take place when the signal strength is very low and you are therefore using other carrier's networks (this might also incur high data costs!)
[Desire General] Sherwood W:
Data roaming is disabled and the signal in my area is usually quite good. Also when I go into a city around here or anywhere nothing changes it still sticks on R.

Plus before I started to flash it with roms and rooted it, it would nearly always have HSDPA connection.
[Desire General] cgrec92:
so although data roaming is disabled your phone is roaming...

can i ask why it is that 3 told you that they will disable your internet? this seems to be the main problem...

have you tried flashing a different radio?

this will definitely have some change
[Desire General] Sherwood W:
They sent a text I was reaching/reached my data allowance for the month (so called unlimited =/)

And yeah I've just flashed the new radio that is needed for defrost 2.0a however it did happen before I flashed it.

For some reason it has got proper signal and HSDPA for the time being and as far as I know I did nothing to make it any better.

Got a feeling it will go again but I'll keep you updated.

I'll have to ring three up tomorrow if I can't get it sorted as I'm going on holiday and I'll be screwed with out it,
[Desire General] cgrec92:
sounds to me like you have a data cap where if you exceed a certain limit your internet is stopped.

the fact that you are in roaming makes me think that it is a trick so that 3 can charge you large amounts so be careful.

glad the radio update worked for you

let us know if the problem persists

although there's not much we can do unless we know it's been sorted with your provider.
[Desire General] Sherwood W:
Thanks for the help.

The thing I don't get is the roaming bit as when it says I'm roaming I can make calls and text fine and there is no charge or anything on my bill it just uses normal minutes
[Desire General] cgrec92:
honestly it sounds to me like a problem with your provider

does it still say roaming with the new radio?

if it does then phone your provider because they can charge you a large amount for roaming
[Desire General] McMichaeli:
Three only run a 3G network in the UK. To provide coverage and data connectivity (mainly EDGE) in the areas between their masts they partner with Orange. Your Desire will roam onto the Orange (and possibly now T-Mobile since they merged on Monday) network when it has a weak or no 3G signal. To allow data in these circumstances you must have data when roaming enabled.

There is no additional charge for 3 customers to use data roaming while in the UK. It is part of your monthly bundle. However, please remember to turn data roaming back off when you travel abroad or it'll cost you a fortune!
[Desire General] DanTehManUK:
+1 for the above, roaming is all well and good but of you leave it on when your on holiday youll definately remember it!
[Desire General] Sherwood W:
Thanks I didn't realise I could use data roaming as when I clicked to enable it it said I may be charged so I didn't bother but now I will as I wont get charged :)

I was just about to say that the original problem had gone but it's decided to happen again just as I tried to log into ebay and download something from the market. However I think it has started to use data roaming as there is now an R in the signal box but a G next to it where the H would be.

Think I'll be ringing them up today
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gf_gollum:
When I last used these phones I was on enom's 1.9.2 rom and they worked jusr fine. Its been a couple of week, and I'm now on the Stock (rooted) FRF91 ROM

I can't get the headphones to pair. Is there some new magic I need to do? Phone pairs with car bluetooth OK (a bit crap quality??) and it pairs with some cheap & cheerful old bluetooth headset I have - but not with the Sennheisers. I rebooted the phone, and the headphones (taken the battery out!) - still no joy.

Is there some bluetooth version mismatch between froyo and the sennheisres? (I don't know what bluetooth version they use)

Any ideas.

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InspecterJones:
My friend broke her G1 and got the Slide to replace it, she doesn't like the texting application. I'm sure theres a way to get rid of that or just preferably install stock android on the thing. I don't yet have any experience with Android (I will be getting the Droid X in a week) so I would love a bit of hand holding here.

As far as I understand it would would involve rooting the device and then installing a rom of normal android? Is this correct?

I would love if someone could actually walk me through the process or any tips, keep me in mind that once I do this for her she needs to be able to just use it forever after that. I don't wanna flash her phone and it ends up crashing a week late or something.

So can I be pointed in the right directions?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ohgami_Ichiro:
You would have to Root the Phone to Remove Built in Apps. BUT, Since this IS Android you are not bound to use the Default Messaging App. You can download some very good and Feature Rich Messaging apps from the Market. 2 Free ones that come to mind are Handcent (which I used to use before I got my Slide) and ChompSMS. You just have to uncheck the Recieved Notification box in the HTC one and you should be ok from there.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tangent_:
Before going through the trouble of rooting, has she tried any of the available messaging apps from the market yet?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InspecterJones:
Yea, per your suggestions I told her to just try installing another to see if she likes it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] t2noob:
1. Why worry about your sd card? I haven't seen anyone mess their sdcard because of a2sd.

Plus its not like the cards are expensive you can get a class 6 8gb card for about $25 after S&H.

2. I own a class 6 card and i feel the apps run the same if not faster from the phone.

3. I ran out of space by quite a bit, but it was because i stuck with sense.

4. The card can be mounted and you will still be able to use the apps, even if the ext partition is mounted, i only found out this recently when i was messing with a few scripts.

So I guess everyone has had their experiences and for now all my experiences with a2sd have been pleasant ones.

I just thought People should hear both sides of the argument.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] lubbad85@hotmail.com:
See if you like it. It is White Metal 2.5 2013 for a 6.5 build. Tell me what you think.

Also including a different contact icon if you want it. Not necessarry but a different style in case you do not like the contact tab with the human outline.

I am running mighty rom Windows 6.5 with Manila 2.5.2013

I was not happy with the centering of the Calendar date on the tray icon-so I included a cab with the fix.

Facebook Tab. You must already have the tab in order to use this. I installed it from Meltwaters and then alterred his manila for tabs
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] develop1:
lubbad85, you are my hero! I have been looking for this everywhere. I don't know why but for some reason I've liked this style of slider ever since I've seen it on another carrier's phone.

I installed it asap and I like how it works! :) It works like a charm, I love it. Great job lubbad85, you rock! The only thing I would probably do is just better the screen icons when you change to a different tab on the slider. Those stock white ones will do but I would just see if I could replace them with any other better icons. Just my personal opinion. Other than that, you created a beautiful slider!

Quick question, I'm running C0okie's Home Tab. How does that extra notification bar appear? (The one on top of the actual sider)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] lubbad85@hotmail.com:
In the options for cookies home tab you can put the extra notification bar. I think under miscelaneous The bar is a bit redundant though.

Glad you like the slider. Give me an example of what kind of slider you really want. If you give me a direction I can build one. Manila is very forgiving. If you screw it up you have only to delete the manila file that you put into windows and the phone's ROM will build it back the way it was before the new manila was used.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] develop1:
I've been looking around in C0okie's Home Tab for the past 40 minutes and I believe I've gone through the whole editor twice and I still cannot find the setting which enables the extra notification bar. I feel like a noob or just looking for something that isn't there. I'm running v1.8.5.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] lubbad85@hotmail.com:

5. Check Show Notifications
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] develop1:
I got it! Thank, yet again! :) As far as the slider goes, it works like a charm! I really don't have any other suggestions for it as of right now. Maybe later as time goes by and I think of something. But if you implement any improvements or make any changes to it please post it up, I will gladly test it out. Thank again!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] develop1:
lubbad85, I found a small little defect that you might consider. When I slide to a desired tab on my touch flo, I find that the tab icon I chose has a blurry icon. It looks like as if there is another lighter icon behind the primary icon. It's just a little annoying and tends to cross my eyes after a while. lol. Check it out in the attachment to understand what I'm talking about.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Jackos:
I found this slider skin very pretty and charming! Is it OK to cook this skin into rom? I'm developing roms for myself, but somehow the xda community convinced me to upload them to public xD
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Jackos:
I think it's meant to.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] lubbad85@hotmail.com:
I like that idea. I have been running a Mighty Rom. But I will try yours when you get done cooking.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Jackos:
My ROMs won't be updated before August if someone doesn't find some critical bugs ;)

This slider really fits the "old" Sense 2.5 skin, however it has got some images that could be a bit more polished... Ach, and some icons could be a little re-sized, because they aren't this same size. Anyway overall the experience is great! So keep up this wonderful work, first time that I like something that isn't made by ShowTime7.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] lubbad85@hotmail.com:
right.

You can fix this with a darker slider. I will cab it up for you here. It is for 2.5 manila

Hi there, I downloaded and installed the theme, but I dont know how to change the theme, i hate to ask but how exactly do I apply the theme? I tried Star->Settings->Today, but the theme is not on the list of available themes.

Thanks for your patience, I've only had the phone for a week or so. :confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] develop1:
You're going to run the .cab file from your storage card and install it onto your device when prompted to. Immediately after the slider is installed it is going to ask you to restart so the changes can take effect. You hit "yes" or "ok" (Not sure which option it gives you) Then, once the device restarts and turns on, the slider will appear and should be already installed automatically. You shouldn't have to do any other additional setting changes after you restart so the slider takes effect.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] iotran:
Hmm I installed all 3 cabs and it just told me "white metal 2.5 2013.cab was successfully installed on your device" (same thing with the other 2) but it didn't prompt me if I wanted to restart the device.

Any ideas why? this blue at&t theme is ok but this B&W Metal theme looks amazing.

Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] lubbad85@hotmail.com:
turn off sense

Two ways to install. One is you first turn off sense

1. start menu

2. settings

3. today screen

4. items

5. uncheck htc sence

6. install cabs

7. and then go back and check htc sense

Or install the cabs and then soft reset

Hello again lubbad85!

Could you do me a little favor and add a facebook icon too? The meltwaters work is really impressive!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] lubbad85@hotmail.com:
Just the sense tab

You just want the sense tab-in other words you already installed the other files neccessary for the tab? So just the tab icons?

If so here is the cab for just the tab sense icons in white to match the set. I cannot test it since I have not installed the control files for this tab.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Jackos:
Yeah, sure, just the tab icon! I may attach the corresponding manila hash files for you.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] iotran:
Ok I just tried both methods and it wont change this "AT&T blue theme from hell" Im using the original ROM could that be the reason why? :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] lubbad85@hotmail.com:
got to start

settings

system

device information

software information

manila version

see that it is 2.5

Then if it is

try again. Manila files get rebuilt from the rom when they are uninstalled. So turning off sense works or soft reset after installing.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] iotran:
Ok yeah that is why.

Mine says ROM version 1.59.502.3 / 9-25-09

So my next question is.. can I update to 2.5? :cool:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] lubbad85@hotmail.com:
check

check manila version not rom
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Jackos:
First problem (that's while I don't touch the slider at all):

Second one (when I touch the slider)

Somehow the whole transparency is gone. Doesn't look well!

Hi there,

I wanted to know if there is a way to unroot my Desire which I bought from O2 Germany.

I am planning to root my Desire but am not sure because of the warranty. I guess the warranty will be over the moment I root.

I have the Bootloader 0.80.

Thanks,

hakeem18
[Desire General] doinbox:
If your phone was rooted and you flashed the official o2 Rom which is available on here somewhere, you would be unrooted.

And your warranty would be fine.

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire General] DanTehManUK:
Agrees, flashing a stock FW will unroot your phone, but i would check with your insurance because as long as you dont open the phone and fiddle with the bits it doesnt matter what your running, rooted or not!
[Desire General] weebeast:
If this is possible why the nexus one can't do this? I thought if you unlocked the bootloader that it will stay unlocked or will this only happen on the nexus one?
[Desire General] DanTehManUK:
Bootloader and Fastboot are built into all Android Devices, they are how the engineers would get in and fix your phone if it broke

as for the Nexus One i was under the impression that like with all Androids you flash the Official ROM and it is unrooted
[Desire General] weebeast:
The bootloader stays unlocked right when you unroot a desire or nexus one?
