It's still void the warranty even tho its legal so save yourself a potential hassle and unroot
[EVO 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
In the MOST EXTREME case but its highly doubtful and has been proven over and over. I for one agree you should unroot it as best you can so it doesnt allow the carrier or htc to figure out the root method etc but if you can't I wouldnt worry one single bit. Good luck let me know if I can be of anymore help

hmm.. okay.. so that zip file that was there.. i already had, and i already tried flashing that.. and it didnt work last time, nor did it work this time

i have hboot 0.79.000

i have radio 1.39.00.05.31

and i flashed to a rooted 1.32 rom like it said i had to do.

Im using clockworkmod recovery 2.5.0.1

When i go to install zip from sd card>choose zip> and select the file attached, it just tries to open it and within a few miliseconds its back to the screen i was just at.

if i were to rename it to PC36IMG.zip and let bootloader load it, it will say 'wrong or no image'

I think im going to give up..

i found this. i will give it a try i suppose:

EDIT: NVM i forgot my USB doesnt work. lol.. oh well.. i dont think sprint will do anything.. its a sprint rom anyways.. Ive replaced hard-spl'd winmo phones throu att before

arrrg.. windows mobile made more sense to me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
You arent nand unlocked just bring it back do a full system wipe

It also doesnt hurt to try again make sure that you download a fresh version of the file and wipe the sd card of any other files if possible if at least make sure there arent any other pcimg files there

[XPERIA X10 General] xGary:
So my dad got this phone but he doesnt want it anymore so he is giving it to me. However, my plan does not have data and im not planning on getting any so I have some questions

1) What kind of features will/will not work. I noticed that the CoPilot GPS can preload maps but how good is the GPS without data/wifi? (My C905a does within 800m with Wi-Fi -.-)

2) Rooting the phone allows me to use apps not from the Android market right? Whats the risk of bricking the phone? And if I break it, what cost will rogers or any other trusted place repair it for?

3) Do most Android/other apps work without data/wifi.

Thanks!
[XPERIA X10 General] zephyrix:
1) Everything will work, apps that need internet will need you to be near wifi

GPS is way better than wifi at locating..

2) No. You don't need to root for that.

3) Yeah.
[XPERIA X10 General] xGary:
So what are the main advantages of rooting? How good is the GPS without any internet?
[XPERIA X10 General] synlar:
I don't have a dataplan either, and got X10, for use with WiFi.

Something like CoPilot Live works perfectly, it just needs to download maps via wifi, and once downloaded, doesn't need internet. Try out MapDroyd (it's FREE but doesn't give navigation, but it's offline maps, so once downloaded to your phone, it doesn't use internet), or NavDroyd is a simple navigation program costing $5.

Google Maps needs constant internet connection pretty much.

Advantage of rooting, for now, isn't much in that sense; there's a few apps that need root access to do more tweaking (such as AdBlock and setCPU) but you can live perfectly without it.

Call Rogers and tell them to block data on their end, so you don't accidentally start using data and get billed hard

Oh, and there's a Rogers app on there called My Account, I think... it won't work with wifi connection, it needs 3g connection. it just tells you about your usage, like minutes and texts and data and things like that. You can get all that info online from the rogers website anyway, but you asked what won't work, and that's the only thing that won't work i think :P
[XPERIA X10 General] ClintonH:
The advantage of rooting is better battery life, more sensitive touch screen and faster in pretty much all tasks. Well worth it and the risk is pretty minimal if you fallow the guide. ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dodolom:
Hi guys,

I have a rooted HTC Desire that I rooted myself on a PC but I mainly use my Mac and I wanna know how to root it on the Mac as well. I've followed the tutorial by benko286 on the boards but every time I hit step1-mac.sh, it starts the terminal, then asks my password,I enter my password, it then says the stuff below and it shuts down the terminal.

About to start flash...

sudo: ./fastboot-mac: command not found

Any idea why this is happening? I'd really love to learn how to do this on the mac platform as well.

Thanks in advance,

Hey mas,

Here we meet again. I am the guy with all the adb questions. No, I didn't know that was necessary. What do I do, once I download the file? Where should I save the files in the zip file?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
Hi bud,

I'm not that familiar with Macs, but try installing the SDK, extract it to the root of your hard drive. Open terminal and get to the exact folder path of the downloaded r5 folder and then try executing the step1 command. Also ensure you have HTC sync installed.

EDIT: have you come across this? :D

Works on Macs too and will be alot easier for you:

fastboot-mac is a shell script is it not?

so you need to execute it with the correct bash command

so type ' sh fastboot-mac '
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] xxjekelxx:
I was wondering if sprint can keep up with the data used through the hotspot you can download for a rooted device. I am thinking about getting an evo. (i know that the evo has its own forum, but I figured I would ask people that have been with sprint for a while with the hero.) Basically, I want to use the phone as an internet connection, like you would dsl, but i do not want to buy the 30 per month thing that you have to buy to do it on the evo. So i just wanted to know if i would get caught and have to pay some huge bill for playing ps3 or downloading huge files through the root hotspot. Thanks for helping me out.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] itrackit:
I seriously doubt it. These phones do so much data how would they even tell if its a laptop or not. They would have to be searching for certain ports.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] c00ller:
Just FYI you probably don't want to use Ev-Do for gaming. Everytime I ran the Speed Test app I ping around 140-150 ms...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] jerry43812:
Which is perfectly fine for MW2 with minimal lag.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] c00ller:
Really? I've never played MW2 but for me a first person shooter server with ping above 70 is trash. Maybe MW2 is a very well lag compensated game.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] boydroid:
i use mine daily no problems,dont play mw2 though more of a bad company guy myself
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JTNiggle:
This is my average data usage for a month, actually a couple days shy, and I have never had a problem from Sprint. Been using at least this much for over a year.

Used to be on a tethered Touch Pro, and now on a Hero. I have similar usage across 3 other lines on the same plan, over 12gb total, and no problems.

I upgraded my Radio 'n my bootloader from 1.somethin'

I was tryin' to update my recovery from JFv1.42 to the latest, so I could flash Froyo (2.2) Yes, I'm rooted, 'n I had 2.1 on it on Friday.

I don't think there's any hope for my phone, if you think it can be saved, lemme know...I's NOT bricked, it goes into recovery, But, My recovery is SO OLD! We tried flashin' a new recovery, 'n it didn't work...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Binary100100:
which spl are you using?

which recovery are you trying to flash?

can you fastboot flash the recovery?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] '76 F350:
I don't know which spl I'm usin'...

Yes, it will do everythin' 'cept boot all the way up.

Tried to flash a new recovery 'n it didn't work...

I'm tryin' to go to RA Dream 1.7.0-img
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Binary100100:
First of all, to install CM6, you must have the dangerspl (according to Cyangoen).

So we need to know which spl that you are using.

Hold camera button and boot up your device.

Tell us what you see on the screen.

You MUST have 1.33.2005 spl and 2.22.23.02 radio.

If you do NOT have the 1.33.2005 spl then you MUST make sure that you have the 2.22.23.02 radio FIRST!!! We cannot skip this step!!! You MUST make sure that you have the 2.22.23.02 radio! Then after you verified that you have that then make sure that you have 1.33.2005. I am stressing this because if you have a different radio it MAY (very likely) brick your phone!

If you have all of that then you should be able to just wipe everything and flash the rom from recovery. An alternative is to wipe, flash to a different rom (non froyo... say... Donut) until you can figure out the recovery issue.

I recommend the clockwork recovery or amon_ra recovery.

What we need to help you is details... so far you told us you are running 1.33.2005 with s-off meaning fastboot will let you write just about anything to the phone.. but you are saying the you (and until proven otherwise I have to assume just you) can't flash recovery that way.

I asked about two fastboot commands. . What happens when you run them on your computer? any output, computer or phone?

Also what exact version (full filename may be important) of recovery are you attempting.

Last with fastboot the recovery image must be on the computer not the phone..

But you haven't even answered everyone's questions yet!

How is the community supposed to help you if you won't do what they're suggesting you do?

To repeat some questions:

- Have you tried flashing a recovery via fastboot? You've said flashing a recovery fails, but you haven't said what method you've used. If you tried via fastboot and it did not work, what happened?

- What have you tried to flash via your recovery? Be very specific.

- Have you attempted to flash the RC29 image and start over?

- Did you attempt to flash a new recovery while running CM5.0.x?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] '76 F350:

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezterry:
I don't know what your goal is but fixing this theoretical phone of yours somehow does not seem to be it.

Or something...

Something like "command not found", "file not found" or no device?

Or maybe an odd error like invalid signature

Then there is partition not found, not enough space, bad block warnings..
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] '76 F350:
Yes, that IS MY GOAL, More than anythin'...

I think it said somethin' about invalid signature or somethin'...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sleepwalkers:
Getting the specific error message could really help people figure out why it isn't working. Just try it again at some point, giving us the exact command that you typed, and the exact message(s) it gives you.

If you don't know about RC29 and downgrading to root, here's a quick guide:

CyanogenMod downgrade + root guide.

Read that thoroughly and follow those steps.

Just remember: Be as detailed as you possibly can be. Saying "It said it failed or something" doesn't help anyone here, which won't help you fix your phone any faster. If you have to go repeat a step just to know what something told you, do it. It'll help you in the long run, even if it takes a few extra minutes.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sleepwalkers:
I didn't think you HAD to re-root that image before flashing another ROM on top of it, if you had rooted before and installed another recovery. I thought the root was simply to backup the recovery and flash another custom one that would allow ROM flashing.

I guess it doesn't matter, either way you'll either have to flash a ROM to then flash your recovery or flash a recovery then flash a ROM. You definitely need to flash a newer recovery.

A lot of people suggest the Clockwork recovery that works with the app Clockwork ROM Manager, but I've never liked it that much. I prefer AmonRA's recovery.

But read steps 2 - 5 again on CyanogenMod's rooting guide.

Get your phone to the home screen, then open the keyboard, hit enter twice then enter "telnetd" followed by the enter key again.

THEN

Go to the Market, install Telnet by ClockworkMod, then open it and try to connect to localhost.

Once you're able to connect to localhost, move on to the next section of the guide.
