[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gaborel:
hi, i know that this is a highly discussed topic but i just want to know if the method found on google is possible.

Quote below:

"Open your rom zip file in WinRar, don't extract it, just open it. Within WinRar go into the system > app folder. In here are all the apk files of the apps that are installed by default and which you cannot normally remove. It's then simply a matter of looking down the list and deleting the ones you don't want.

It's worth looking carefully as some have a widget in addition to the app so you'll want to delete both. (Pretty certain Plurk has.) Once you've deleted the apks you don't want, copy the zip file onto your SD card and flash as normal. I made a copy of the rom file and edited the copy so that I had a working one I could use if I broke it, but I would still do a nandroid backup first."

my Desire is europe section, germany made, i live in romania, the device is unbranded, unrooted, and freshly updated to v2.2 Froyo.

my question is, is that really possible/true?

if so, please tell me which ROM should i download from here ( forum[dot]xda-developers[dot]com/showthread.php?t=695667 ) as i really don't know.

the OTA downloaded update before i installed it, had 90 mb.

thank you XDA, this is my first thread opened.

ps. love my Desire :X
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jstegeman:
If you installed the OTA update, you are not rooted (oh, in any case you said you are unrooted). There is no way for you to do this ATM because you will need either root or a custom recovery, and the new hboot hasn't yet been cracked.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gaborel:
yes i know that it hasn't been cracked yet, but i mean when it is cracked, if i can flash it with the ROM available for download on XDA, after i removed the preloaded apps.

can't get the wifi working. it error 67s on me. i am running stock rooted 2.2

any help? thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trobb09:
Error 67 occurs when you try to use Sprint's Mobile Hotspot application. It is impossible to tether using Sprint's Mobile Hotspot application unless you pay the $30/month fee. If you would like to set up tethering via WiFi, you will need a 3rd party application. Luckily your ROM is already rooted so the next to step is to allow applications to be installed from outside the market. Go to Menu -> Settings -> Applications and make sure the box is checked to allow other application sources. Once that is done, you will need to download the latest build of android-wifi-tether from the Google Code page located here: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre4.apk&can=2&q=Evo. Install that APK on your device and then you will have a working tethering solution for your rooted 2.2 Froyo ROM
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteelH:
I hate to burst your bubble but you're WRONG. Wifi tether does NOT work on rooted 2.2 that's out right now UNLESS you install netarchy's new 3.7.6c kernel. The downside is your camera is reduced to 3MP functionality.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edufur:
Not sure why you think this. I am using it right now on a stock rooted 2.2

well i assume i read it right.

i have Rooted my HTC desire.

Hi,

You could use andLess which is available on the market.

FLAC libs

I know this thread is old but I didn't want to start a new topic for a similar question so here goes...

Is it possible to add flac libs from a rom that has them and add them to one that doesn't and somehow get it to work?

Hi,

Yesterday i tried to flash my Samsung Galaxy S, and during the flash with Odin i see problem. Flash failed.

Now when i try to boot my phone i can see a picture with a phone and computer join with exclamation panel.

Can I repair the phone? What should I do?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Piny12:
Hold the Volume -, Power and Home Button until you see the "Downloading..." screen with a yellow Android.

Connect the phone to your PC and try to flash the ROM again.

What OS do you use? Which ROM do you want to flash?

Appologies if this has been discussed before, im a bit of a noob. Since updating to froyo i cannot reply to text messages in the conversation window, if i try the msg trys to send several times but never sends. If i want to reply i have to back up and write the text msg as a new msg, this works first time every time. Its not a biggy but its annoying the hell out of me. Can anyone help?

Im using a debranded T-mobile Desire.

Looking at how easy and dumb proof they made the jailbreak for iOS 4, I'm not going to lie. I wish it was that simple on the Evo. You'd think that since Android is a stronger programming community, in my opinion, that we'd have a better mouse trap.

How much simpler do people need it to be ?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superlinkx:
Besides, if you can't figure out how to do a few command lines and drop files on the SD card, I don't think you have any business rooting, since you will likely screw something up. Most of the stuff you use root for will require some of these skills, and they are potentially more harmful if you do them wrong than when trying to gain root access. Gaining root access isn't very hard or even that dangerous. Flashing stuff and messing with low level system stuff is.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] locutis78:
Try doing a search for simple root. That might be what you are looking for.

You will need to install USB drivers though.

+1....easy rooting...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanBergundy:
I sort of agree with this.

However, it is very intimidating for people with little knowledge. There are a lot of terms and procedures that don't make any sense to people coming into this world.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uniquenameevo:
Those terms and procedures are all well explained if you read enough. I did. I'm far from an expert, but I have done way more than I expected with the info I found.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EliWay:
Uh, remember Unrevoked? All you had to do was simply go to unrevoked.com on the browser. Root Acquired.

It might have been easy this time on the iPhone, but it really depends on the exploit. Some are trivial, some are not. If anything it shows just how unsecure the iPhone is.

Moving on...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanBergundy:
I know, but we were all noobs once. Most the guides are written by smart people but they write in a way that doesn't cater to the new/dumb people.

Noobs are told "Post in the right section" and "Use the search!".

The info on the terminology and procedures is scattered about the site and it takes a lot of confidence for a noob with no knowledge to come in here with a $500 device and start tinkering with recovery modes and command lines.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanBergundy:
1000% agree with parts one and two. Part three seems like some personal anger toward the iPhone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ViViDboarder:
It's basically the same. The iPhone Dev guys just build applications that carry out the jailbreak automatically. Here, many people don't bother but simple root runs batch files that take they typing out of the equation.

Unrevoked is more like the jailbreakme.com site and you don't even need a computer!

Coming from an iPhone myself I found the switch easy. Just have to do some reading to make sure you are aware of what you're doing. Although you should be doing the same with the iPhone too.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techs1200:
That jailbreak is so easy because of the GAPING HOLE in mobile safari's security.

Are you complaining that android isn't a security joke like iOS is?

:rolleyes:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EliWay:
No personal anger towards the iPhone. You needed to download and open a file to root with unrevoked, however, with this jailbreak for the iPhone, you do not need to do ANYTHING. It is a huge security hole and while no one has written any malicious apps to take advantage of this exploit, it could be easily created by even a mid-level programmer.

So it shows how unsecure the iPhone is, it really does. No personal anger, simply stating a fact.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerryparid:
With the new 1.47 root recently discovered, someone could have easily made a root method program that rivals that of iPhone's.

Besides, Android community is different from iPhone's. Most users are not tech illiterate (at least currently)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBiles:
Apple software is notoriously ridden with security flaws. Of course it is easy to jailbreak.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Landmine:
Such a strong defensive stance by most of you. I have my Evo rooted. I'm a programmer and I've been hacking away at my devices and computers for as long as I've had them. However, I'm getting lazy these days and busy. To to clear up any confusion....

1) I love my Evo more than my old iPhone

2) I know Android is a better OS for me it can do a lot more than any other mobile OS

3) Following a 30 set fool proof guide is fine, but I like 3 step's to get what I want more than 30.

4) I'm far from "complaining", more than anything this thread's purpose was to ask and gain information to improve my understanding.

5) I love you guys :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herbthehammer:
I will probably get flamed for what I'm about to say. The phone I had before the evo was the samsung moment. I came into that scene just after march of this year. Sprint had just released a downloadable update that anyone could update on their own. It was a windows based updater/flasher that had drivers and the update tar inside. It was incredibly simple then to flash any rom or mod you wanted. You could go back and forth from an oem stock rom to rooted and custom roms. The flasher program walked you through everything, so practically anyone could do it.

I would guess htc is a completely different beast. I don't know if they ever released a newb friendly updater or what. For me, this process could be made much easier.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evoguyfhp:
same i came from a moment which was not hard at all too root. Ive flashed rom after rom but when i went and looked at the htc evo root... well i didnt do it. so many people having problems ect . So ya i havent rooted the evo and actually im scared too.. lol i am pretty good at that stuff i just dont want to brick my evo.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Landmine:
That's kind of my feelings on it as well. Seems like a lot of people are feel like me asking for a 1 click root is attacking everything great about the Evo. I love my Evo. It replaced my tv in my bed room, my iPhone and my laptop. Any device that could do 1 of those is an amazing device, but all 3? Nice.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OneStepAhead:
I don't think its actually possible to brick your evo doing a root hack. Simple Root is just a 3 click deal, very easy and fool proof.

personally I'd rather do it the long way. Its fun for me, and I learn something along the way. I agree with the other post, if you can't

root following a simple guide you probably don't need to be rooting your phone anyway.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herbthehammer:
Who knows, maybe htc will release an updater that can be like the moment experience. Maybe then the developers here can use that to make things a little easier for everyone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ForrelZ:
It is very possible to brick your phone during an update, especially a radio update. Rooting is generally easy to fix though I agree.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timothydonohue:
honestly, there are PLENTY of references here for people to read. if they check out the stickies, they should be able to be brought up to speed fairly quickly. there are tons of well written references as to what each and every part of gaining root access does and how to do it, and what each tool is and how it works.

the problem here is not that it's overly difficult, it's that people don't want to know. they want to push a button. and, that's is a HUGE problem. if you don't want to take the time to learn how to do what it is that is going on, you have absolutely NO business rooting the phone. why? because these same clownhats that want a one button method for dinking in /system are the same reason that viruses are rampant on the internet. they basically just push the 'install' button, and presto, trojan.eatyourharddrive.tough****.backdoor has been installed.

i'm of the opinion that if they don't even want to take the time to pick up the very basics of something like the adb, they have no business whatsoever messing with /system.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanBergundy:
Haha, sort of agree. I still know plenty of techie people that were very intimidated/lost when coming into the scene.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herbthehammer:
(I'll play devil's advocate)

That could be like saying, "if you can't reprogram your car's ecu to remove all the limiters, then you shouldn't be driving or putting a cold air intake on. "

Or if you can't change a tire, you shouldn't be driving.

Yeah, this might be taking it to an extreme, but I thought I'd bring it up.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjz147:
I dont know why people have this argument.

Lets look at what the OP said "It would be nice to have something as simple as this on Android"

Granted Android can flash custom ROMS and have ADB and all that, but even with rEVOked, and simple root, you still don't get a full NAND unlock.

In order to do that you have to follow more steps.

In order to remove system apps and flash custom ROMS you have to be fully NAND unlocked. Meaning more steps than just going online

When you Jailbreak an iPhone you get Cydia which has everything right their to download.

So yes, Jailbreaking an iPhone using this and the blackra1n method is easier for the average consumer and your tech idiot to do v. rooting an android device.

Stop flaming the guy!

And for everyone that says iPhone users are morons and idiots, you need to remember that just because XDA developers has a lot of talented developers and users, does not mean most people with an android device are smart too.

I may sound stupid here but I would say the percentage of rooted android users is under 15% and the amount of jailbroken iPhone users is right around their if not a little more.

Just because Android lets you do more with the OS, does not mean their aren't a lot of stupid people with droids too. I was in tmobile the other day, and overheard a lady wanting to return her G1 because all of her contacts numbers showed up with their names, instead of hiding the number.

And yes this does show that the iPhone's browser is less secure, but that is not relevant at all to what the OP posted about, the second someone mentions anything about an iPhone people start flaming it and saying every bad thing about it, I know this is an Android forum, but if the OS did not say the iPhone is better or anything like that, your wasting time and space putting that stuff.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrianDigital:
hasn't there been a simple root application......? could have sworn I used one had to press like four buttons........I believe it was posted on the main page of XDA....... and its not that hard to issue the adb commands anyways
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteelH:
Simpleroot just got retardedly simple!!

If you can't click 2 buttons, you need to go back to iphone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjz147:
Again, this is very simple. But doesn't give you nand unlock. So you still have to look around on how to nand unlock and copy files to the phone.

EVEN THOUGH IT IS SIMPLE. jailbreaking the iPhone is still easier not by much but it still is.

Website from phone, one click....done

Download app from PC, connect phone wait 15 minutes for files to work (I have done it)

Post something on xda about why I can't flash a custom rom. Find out you need to nand unlock, copy files to phone..reboot.. done.

Again its not hard but the while point of the post was if android will ever get a one click 2 minute full roo + nand unlcok
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chowder25:
no joke.. my 10 year old daughter did the simple root on my wifes phone with my guidance. im an android noob and i think simple root is as easy as it gets!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Landmine:
First, thank you mjz147, you seem to understand me the best.

I'm not saying it's hard to do right now or crying about it. I'm just saying it would be nice if a FULL ROOT was packaged into 1 simple app. I feel like the reaction I'm getting is all fire. I suppose I should have said WinMo 6.5 and not the "evil" iWord.

But in all seriousness, it is easy to root the Evo after X amount of reading. However, its it easier and I hope someday it will be almost if not easier than the iPhone.

Nobody here or anywhere as the right to tell anyone what they should do or should not do with their property.

So less fire, more productive discussion.

Kind of harsh but quoted for truth, you all are practically begging people to come along and steal your information. One of these days you're going to root your phone with some app and next thing you know everyone in your contact list will be getting spam mail from China, telemarketers will be bugging the hell out of you and any passwords you had saved will be comprised.

The iPhone4 method was a bad example because it is about as bad a security hole as you can get. The fact it's not that easy on android is actually a good thing.

Hey, I have the recovery mode that I installed from here currently on my phone, but I would like to revert it to the stock recovery mode, because I'll be needing to take my phone to Verizon tomorrow. How can I go about doing that?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sjflowerhorn:
just flash theOTA (leak v3) it sets the recoveryand everything else back to stock
[Droid Eris Android Development] Chiggins:
I downloaded the OTA for 2.1 and tried to install that, but when I did from the recovery mode I have, I got an error saying E:No signature (690 files)
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sjflowerhorn:
make sure the file is in the root of your sdcard

and instead of pressing up volume press down when powering your phone on

it will take you to the bootloader (h-boot)

use trackball as action button to finish installation =)
[Droid Eris Android Development] Chiggins:
Yep, I've done that. Gone through h-boot into the recovery mode, and whenever I tried to install the OTA file that I renamed to update.zip, I get the E:No signature (690 files) error
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sjflowerhorn:
you have to name it as PB00IMG.zip

otherwise it will look right past it in h-boot

and give you the option to go into the recovery
[Droid Eris Android Development] Chiggins:
I got the same error after renaming the file.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sjflowerhorn:
your pressing volume down + power correct

not power up. power up not your friend in this case we want the bootloader not the recovery.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Chiggins:
Well ****, now its doing something in HBOOT. There is a loading bar on the top right doing something. :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sjflowerhorn:
awesome now your cookin!

enjoy the OTA again haha

glad we could get you moving along.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sjflowerhorn:
and remember the action button is the trackball =)
[Droid Eris Android Development] Chiggins:
Well, now when I booted back up, I was back in KaosFroyo. o.O

And the recovery mode was the same. :(
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sjflowerhorn:
did it say installation complete?

you let it run its course not pulling the battery correct? it took my phone about 5-7 minutes to complete

if so mabey the file was the wronge one.

http://www.mediafire.com/?qymwuzug5gl
[Droid Eris Android Development] Chiggins:
I didn't see any text saying installation complete, and I didn't touch the battery. This file is a lot bigger than the one that I had. I'll download and give it a try.

Should I do a wipe to factory before I do this?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sjflowerhorn:
no it will wipe everything but your sdcard
[Droid Eris Android Development] Chiggins:
All of this will reset my phone to factory settings, right? So when I bring it to Verizon, I'll be under warranty?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sjflowerhorn:
factory yes warranty ehhh thats arguable but with the firmware and rom stock they won't be able to tell at all so your fine to even seal the deal further after you reboot your phone it will promt you to install the new ota update just follow the on screen instructions for that and it will be fully updated and vzw approved
[Droid Eris Android Development] Chiggins:
Is there anything else that I should do to ensure that they don't find that I've rooted?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sjflowerhorn:
mabey clear your sdcard of nandroid and any other roms or patches just in case and any other root only folders like titanium or setcpu etc. etc.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Chiggins:
The only thing I did was use nandroid, I already deleted my roms. Where is the setcpu folder?
