Yeah you can root it.

Have a look here :

http://android.modaco.com/content/h...e-now-with-hboot-0-80-and-os-to-1-21-support/

Do whats told in that post and then you will have root.

Once that is done you look at :

http://android.modaco.com/content/h...unching-recovery-on-your-device-without-a-pc/

And then your set to go, no need to use a computer to flash your phone.

And you download the rom and the Radio for [ROM-FroYo] Official Froyo HTC Sense ROM (16/07 v1.0c | OpenDesire Team)

Flash the rom first then the radio :) ( Unsure if that really maters that's the way i did it at least )

Sorry for not posting a step to step guide.

But if you read the first post in those 2 links over you should have what you need. If not then post back here in i will help you.
[Desire General] cgrec92:
OR instead of all that hassle you can use unrevoked and get your phone auto rooted in 30 seconds..

then install the radio and rom you like..
[Desire General] ahsan.mughal:
+1, that is the fastest and easiest way to root your phone :D
[Desire General] wickedpenguin:
UNrevoked 3 didn't work for me.. It just sits in pushing recovery. Am I doing something wrong?
[Desire General] ahsan.mughal:
Did you uninstall HTC Sync?

If you don't uninstall it, then it will keep sitting on "Pushing Recovery"

and what OS you have ?
[Desire General] wickedpenguin:
No. I didnt uninstall it. So, i need to uninstall htc sync then run it?

There no instructions on sthe site.

What exactly does unrevoked do?

Also, how do i install a radio?

Sorry for all the questiond guys. Thanks for all your help.
[Desire General] TickyDraconia:
Unrevoked will root your phone, and flash ClockworkMod recovery, allowing easy access to flashing new ROMs, etc.

The easiest way to use Unrevoked is to use a Linux or Mac PC (Or linux Live CD) - they don't suffer from the driver issues Windows does.

http://android.modaco.com/content/h...sh-a-permanent-recovery-image-with-unrevoked/

And use the Linux instructions. All it requires is a writable CD and a few minutes of your time.

Once you have Clockwork Mod installed, flashing a new Radio image is easy, boot into HBOOT (Volume Down + Power), then select "RECOVERY" using the volume keys for up/down and Power to select. This will put you in Clockwork Mod. Once there, you can use the "flash zip" option, and select the zip from your SD card. This works for radio images too.

Hope that helps! :)
[Desire General] ahsan.mughal:
Just follow this: http://rootmydroid.co.uk/guides/desire/howto-root-your-htc-desire/

Very straightforward and easy guide. If you follow it carefully you wont have any problems in rooting your phone.

Once you are done with root, follow the steps written by TickyDraconia to flash a custom ROM :)
[Desire General] TickyDraconia:
I found using Unrevoked on Windows very unreliable. Neither my work PC (Windows XP) nor home PC (Windows 7 x64) would progress past "Pushing recovery image".
[Desire General] wickedpenguin:
Help!!! I just ran unrevoked 3 and it seemed to working.

Then i entered recovery mode and flashed the rom and radio and now it boots to white screen only.
[Desire General] ahsan.mughal:
I used Unrevoked 3 on my Windows 7 Professional x64 and worked fine. Just change the program compatibility to "Windows Vista" and run as Administrator and it will work perfect!

I did root my HTC Desire twice on the same system :)
[Desire General] TickyDraconia:
Which ROM did you flash? Which radio?

Ah, okay. Ubuntu worked instantly for me. :)
[Desire General] wickedpenguin:
ROm: [ROM-FroYo] Official Froyo HTC Sense ROM (16/07 v1.0c | OpenDesire Team)

Radio: RADIO: 32.42.00.32U_5.09.00.08
[Desire General] wickedpenguin:
Phew!! Just went back into recovery mode and wiped data and then reflashed radio. All working.

Thanks again for all your help.. :)
[Desire General] ahsan.mughal:
Glad it worked out. I was just thinking to advise u to perform a wipe :D

Enjoy new ROM ;)
[HD2 General] 96edwy:
i use peep client on my hd2 but i don't think the geo tagging works as it should do or the same as the iphone or blackberry geo tagging. it can input a map link and input latitude and longitude but twitter doesn't read that as a proper geotag, when the iphone twitter clients geo tag tweets, there is a small icon underneath the tweet which you can click to view where the tweet was made on a map, the main reason i want to do this is so that i can use bings new twitter map feature, without proper geotagging i cant see my tweets on the map.

does anyone know if there is an app that will geotag in the same way that the iphone does, or if anyone has used bing twitter maps and has got it to work what app did you use?

When i get a call, my ringtone (default or custom) starts ringing really quietly for the first 3-4 seconds then goes back to normal volume. Anyone else experiencing this?
[Captivate General] clocke:
same here. Hope you can turn it off to start at max volume. My eternity did this and they never fixed it. super annoying, although the captivate's isn't as bad. Anyone know a solution?
[Captivate General] KappaG9:
You think its hardware or software?
[Captivate General] ttu98ss:
Mine does the same. Meh
[Captivate General] KappaG9:
not a big deal just kinda annoying lol
[Captivate General] clocke:
Definitely software or firmware. Hardware would imply that it has to do with the speaker...

Hi all.

Is there any way to know to which network my HD2 is locked?

I am unable to update my ROM as htc website shows the message "Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device." when i enter my serial number.

I bought this phone from a reputed electronics store in UAE and is using my old ordinary SIM.

The present ROM is 1.43.421.1 (70315) WWE.

HTC support told me to install "Update for HTC HD2 System Stability" from their website but the process stops at 4 % and an "ERROR[294] INVALID VENDER ID" appears on PC.

What to do now?How to know my existing ROM vendor?

Thank u all...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nessqn:
Solved ! (thanks to xda n mskip)

I have solved the problem and successfully updated the ROM to 1.66 !

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ravange:
I must be the dumbest guy in the world, I got my Desire only 3 days and I screwed up. I wanted to try some custom roms and I did. Now I want to recover to the orginal RUU and root that and customize that.

But that isin't going to work like I want it to work.

My information:

Bravo PVT1 SHIP S-ON

Now I tried to use the follow RUU: RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe but that is giving me a error 155 even before its going to load the bootloader.

Am I using the wrong RUU. Is something blocking? Can I downgrade my HBOOT to 0.75?

What should I do to go back to my Out of the Box desire?

Thanks.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carrot34:
Hi, everyone -- I'm trying to find a good way to connect my ThinkOutside/iGo Stowaway Keyboard to my Nexus One. (Teksoft's HID driver doesn't work with punctuation) There seems to be a driver and instructions posted here:

http://memn0ck.com/blog/2010/01/googlenexusoneandroidbluetoothkeyboard.html

But it's all in Japanese and I can't figure it out through Google Translate. Can anyone help?

Thanks!

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcpk:
It looks like it says you have to install the APKs through adb.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] musashiken:
Yup, it says that you have to download the 2 apks from the 2 links given. Well though the 2 sites are in Japanese, you can find the necessary links there easily. Seems like the Simeji from the Android Market doesn't work so you have to manually get the apk file that's stated.

Then adb install the BluetoothHIDkeyboard and Simeji. Once done, pair your phone with the bluetooth keyboard. Then start up the Simeji app and with the mushroom button, you start up SimejiBR and BimejiHID and you're done.

At least that's the gist of it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcpk:
I believe Bluetooth keyboards work with CyanogenMod 6 too.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carrot34:
Wow -- Thank you all so much! This is all incredibly useful. I was able to get everything installed correctly, and it works! It's great to have a bluetooth keyboard working with my Nexus One. It doesn't work great, I'm afraid -- the app works, but it's not quite ready for prime time: several steps to go through with each re-connect, and it for some reason won't let you backspace any further than the word you're in the midst of typing, which is odd. (Anyone know ways that might be fixed?)

I hadn't caught that HID support is included in the new CyanogenMod. Thanks for filling me in -- that's terrific. Once I get up the courage to root, I'll give that a shot.

Thanks, Alan

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oblivion0:
Hey Folks,

I've recently rooted my device to DamageControl v3.2.3 and am LOVING this ROM. With just LauncherPro, JuiceDefender and disabling SENSE - my battery life has virtually tripled.

Of course, now I'm missing some of my SenseUI apps, namely the Clock/Alarm/Stopwatch/Timer application...does anyone out there know if this can be enabled/installed without having Sense enabled?

If it can't be enabled without going back to Sense, can anyone recommend a comparable app?

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Veritas06:
As far as i know, you cannot use any Sense Widgets or Apps while it's disabled. I suggest "Better Alarm" in the Market -- it's like the stock Android clock app. It doesn't have as many features as the Sense Clock, but it has enough to still be useful.

Hop that helps.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oblivion0:
Thanks for the reply Veritas! I found a solution with a little testing...apparently re-enabling the HTC/Sense lock screen does the trick.

Immediately upon doing this, the HTC Clock app is now available for use! I'm not sure how much of a memory/resource footprint this has, but from my initial testing performance appears on par to my initial settings.

Hope this is a useful post for anyone else out there that's curious.

DC is a great ROM.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
I am definitely still new to the ROM scene, but is enabling the lock screen the same as enabling Sense altogether? I still use a few HTC widgets and apps, I could replace them, but if this allows them without turning on the whole Sense UI that would be cool!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
It is my understanding (and i could be wrong) but if you disable Sense but keep the lock screen enabled that you will not be able to turn off an alarm if sent using the "sense" clock. You may want to test this BEFORE you need to use it lol.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oblivion0:
Omega, I didn't have any problems disabling it this morning. The Alarm functionality seems to be tied directly to the Sense lock screen and native app - as I was able to dismiss/and snooze with just the lock screen.

As a side note, it seems without Sense enabled I can't use the clock/weather widget...it seems to be cooked into the Sense Launcher. However, with Beautiful Widgets I don't particularly miss this feature.

Silver, I don't think the lock screen is 100% the same as enabling Sense as a whole for DC, but I may be wrong. I definitely can't use the Sense launcher w/ just the lock screen enabled, so I figure they're two separate application pieces.

I'm also still green to modding with the Evo, so maybe a more experienced modder or dev can clarify this question? *fingerscrossed*
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stevv:
So, now that the Nexus One is sold out of the Google store, do you think prices for very lightly used Nexus Ones on eBay will go up or down soon? Today I saw a new one sell for $560, while I see online retailers and Buy-it-nows for like $650. I just now saw a used Nexus One sell for $376 in the auction, and used ones I have seen are in the high-300s and 400s (although sometimes not all the original accessories are included). So I was thinking, the prices could go up because there is a higher demand for a limited supply of great phones, while also there may be a decrease in demand for a phone that could have a loss of support in the future. But I am basically wondering, how much different do you think the prices in the near future (maybe 1 month or so) on eBay will be than they are now?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P00r:
It depend on what other choice people have, There's quite a few android phone coming out, in the mean time I guess some people who have the $$ will pay high price to get what they want
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blueman101:
my advice is to not buy a Nexus One.

The nexus one is a great phone, totally worth the price and options and if you have your mind set on one, dont let anyone tell you different. However, its being a little outdone by recent phones. It doesn't make sense to buy a phone that is already being surpassed. Currently newer android phones like the Droid X or the Galaxy S line cost the same as the Nexus but have higher hardware.

My predictions for the price of the Nexus One are: Initially the price will go up, as with all technology, if something is hard to acquire the price will jump as it is valuable and you can milk the buyer. After some time the price will stabilize and begin to be less then the $530 initial price.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stevv:
Yeah to tell you the truth I would rather have something like an Evo 4G or a Droid X, but those phones are locked to their respective carriers in the USA right? I live in Germany right now and will for about another year, and I would rather have a very unlocked phone like the Nexus One which I can buy from American eBay (or Google store before it closed) and ship it here to avoid paying in Euros.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blueman101:
The galaxy S is a very good phone from what I hear, there is also a International version of the phone.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jz9833:
my screen is now cracked on my nexus after a bad drop :( and I have been debating if i wanted to spend 530 on a new nexus for a couple weeks now.

ultimatly i couldn't convice myself to spend that much on a phone already outdated hardware wise even though the software support is first rate.

The samsung galaxy s is an awesome phone but the fact its shipping without froyo for now is a deal killer. After using froyo I can not go back to 2.1. Some people might say just buy it and wait for it to be released this fall, but there are some eye poping rumors about the HTC vision coming out.

Overall, the nexus was a GREAT phone, and without the crack I wouldnt be in the market for a new phone but spending 600+ for one doesnt make much sense now :rolleyes:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enndr:
The big bonus everyone forgets about the N1 is that its basically a dev phone.

Google pretty much wants us to tinker with it, stuff it full of roms and abuse it. :D

We also get alot more access to do to our phone what other carriers and makers are trying to block and stop.

Yes the hardware isnt the "newest" of the new but I would hardly call the phone outdated. Is my 2010 Fusion outdated because the 2011s are coming out? hardly. It isnt the newest on the block anymore but its still relevant and supported.

Also, I think that unless a phone comes to market with Gingerbread later this year the Nexus will probably be the first device to run this for a few months at least.

Lastly, look at the iPhone 4. I can show you a handful of reviews where even mac fans say the Nexus one closely matches that phone in performance and features and they only release one a yr. The nexus one wont be irrelevant until next summer.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmout:

If so, you need to use a gold card.

You need a goldcard to flash an official ROM, you can flash any rooted ROMs without the goldcard.
