That is right.. your phone will only be rooted with a modded recovery app (Clockwork Recovery Mod) If you goto your programs, you should see a Super User Permissions application, that means you're rooted.

Now the SD bit doesn't have to be done.. that's only if you're going to go app crazy and will eventually run out of room. You can perform that whenever you want, you can do it now, or wait. If there is no EXT3 partition on the SD card, your new ROM that will have apps2sd feature won't use it; it will simply put apps on the phones internal memory. If it does see the EXT3 partition, then it will automagically install apps on to that partition on the SD card.

Your phone should be fully functional after rooting. I had a problem and that was getting data and 3g to work on Rogers cause I unlocked my phone. All I had to do was add APN settings into the phone and now everything works like a charm.

If you decide to flash a new ROM, it should tell you in the feature set if APPS2SD is there. Then you can decide if you want to go through the hassle on a windows machine to partition the SD card. Also remember that when you flash a new ROM, you'll also have to flash a new radio image as well or your radio (signal, reception, whatever you want to call it.. not actual radio like fm radio) won't work. Most ROMS will have an updated radio zip file with them.

There's another thread in the Desire Development that says "[TUT] Telus Desire" or something like that that walks you through how to flash a new ROM and Radio from the Recovery mod.. very easy ;)

Good luck!

Edit: Make sure your SD card is at least class 6 if you're going to go the apps2sd route.. or else apps might be laggy because they'll be running off the SD card. Class 4 or 2 won't suffice enough for certain applications.

K awsome understand alot better.

Last thing all these programs They are installed on my Computer and not my Desire correct.

UnrEVOked

ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.1 SLCD

Nandroid also when Im backing up my stuff?

Also what is HTC sync? Is that something that will be installed on my comp when i plug my Desire to the Computer? I know I must remove this according to the 12 steps in #1 post.

Any roms recommened? Dont really have preference between Sense or Launchpro.

Since first time I have used Sense and never used Launcherpro ( which seems pretty cool and nice.)

Ill have to see if the MicroSD card I got with the phone is the correct class. ( checked its a 2) So its not recommened to use a class 2 right due to it will be slow?
[Desire Android Development] ahac85:
Hi sorry if this has asked before but im new to this, i just got my desire today i believe it has the slcd screen it has a hboot of 80 and software of 1.21.

my question is can i use revoked3 to root or will this give me the black screen of death?
[Desire Android Development] quazis:
Unrevoked is a program that runs on your computer, the clockwork recovery is an image that is loaded by Unrevoked and installed on your Desire.

HTC Sync is a program made by HTC to sync your calendar/contacts to your phone. It's good to have if you use Outlook but you'll have to uninstall it when doing any sort of flashing or what not. Do not uninstall the HTC drivers that get installed with HTC Sync.. you'll see them in add/remove programs.

I'm still new to all this.. just in the process of installing my first Rom!

That's right, Class 2 is too slow.

Just rooted my phone was very simple lol never got any black screen and took 5mins.

EDIt/Update: Got my new rom installed yesterday. Every thing is working fine and it was super fast to get this all done.

Im new to all this Flashing stuff. This there certain things I should check with this new ROM to see if everything is functional?
[Desire Android Development] horst0815:
so i've read a couple of threads here, and my question now is:

i got an german o2 desire, with hboot 0.83.

so i tried the unrevoke thingie, which worked, but i can't get into recovery mode. the phone hangs, and only removing battery works then.

what i DIDN'T do until now is the thing with "ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.1" found here: http://crop.floodbit.org/~defer/recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.1-bravo-slcd.img

i have the superuser thing in my apps, and i downloaded titanium backup, which required su permissions, and everything works :)

so all i got to do is to start unrevoke again, but this time i chance the recovery under "file" etc. right? or did i miss something?

for now i don't want to use custom roms, i just want the ability to do that sometime later

Black-Screen in Clockwork-Mod-Recovery

Hi,

I installed the Recovery-Mod severel times with different images and settings without any errors. Never the less I always see an black screen when I try to start the recovery-mode. At least I can still boot to my original firmware, but I cant use any other Rom. I also tried the RomManager, which worked to install (have to have root-access) but also no change.

Its an Desire from O2-Germany (HBoot 0,83, FW 1.20.207.3).

Anyone any Ideas on that?

Thanx in advance

[Desire Android Development] bho15:
Battery wipe while in recovery

In the recovery on the main screen I have the option to do a wipe for:

-data/factory wipe

-wipe cache

and when I perform those wipes it shows the status that they were completed.

Under advanced there are options for wiping:

-battery status

-davilk cache.

When I perform those wipes, there's no status on whether they were completed. So my question is, were they wiped?
[Desire Android Development] quazis:
You are right. The phone doesn't really hang, you just can't see the options because that recovery image you're flashing is for AMOLED screens. The SLCD one is for support with SLCD phones and that way you WILL see the options.

If you JUST do this, you're just rooting your phone and flashing a much better feature set recovery image. You can then flash new ROMS in the future whenever you like. :)
[Desire Android Development] SavageCore:
Can it not be downgraded?
[Desire Android Development] Sgt.EddieWinslow:
I am stuck, i rooted successfully, saw the recovery.

once after that i installed the radio version required for cyanogens rom,

once it installed i was no longer able to see the recovery screen.

Played around got it to show up, and flash the cyanogen rom.

now phone just hangs at initial HTC boot screen, i can boot into Hboot, however going to recovery also just hangs.

anything i can do? im stuck with what to do now
[Desire Android Development] Sgt.EddieWinslow:
ok quick update, by pushing the SLCD recovery to the phone via fastboot i was able to boot back into the recovery properly.

I wiped all data and cache,

flash the cyanogen rom, and then the google apps.

it booted up properly, however now i get nothing but a black screen?
[Desire Android Development] Sgt.EddieWinslow:
newest update, i was able to flash, and boot up the phone...

it worked fine. decided to reboot to go into the recovery menu to properly format the sd card...and it just hangs at the HTC screen...

so back to sqaure one

anyone have any idea why this is happening?????
[Desire Android Development] horst0815:
thx a lot for the answer. i tried it last night, and it was successful. i get the recovery now properly :)

only thing i encounterd now is the fact, that i cannot download anymore from marketplace. it hangs during "starting download" and it doesn't start, even after waiting for nearly 1 hour. i googled a bit and found a "solution" which stated that you got to change the googlemail account from gmail <--> googlemail or vice versa. also completed that, but still no luck. i even restored a backup i made with nandroid, and made a factory reset. still nothing. but it worked yesterday, i installed several apps from the market.

still trying to figure that crap out :(
[Desire Android Development] tncitu:
after doin things in post #1

Telus RUU

So does anyone have a Telus RUU so in case we need to return these phones to stock for warranty we can?

I apologize if it's been posted, I have scoured the enter net and board to find an answer to this but nothing yet.

Your help is greatly appreciated. Once I have a copy of the Telus RUU I plan to root and go to Froyo.
[Desire Android Development] TheLastOne:
There are no RUUs for any Telus HTC phones.

Hopefully when Telus finally decides to release updates for its HTC Android Phones (2.1 Hero, 2.2 Desire) we will see some RUUs, or at least, a way to return our phone to a Telus approved form.
[Desire Android Development] aCx85:
If u see super user your good
[Desire Android Development] Rebellion_CA:
Great so we always have a risk that if the phone breaks due to hardware failure they can deny it. I guess I will wait for 2.2 in September and hope that an RUU appears as a result.
[Desire Android Development] tncitu:

I think I'm rooted.. Have "Super User" app installed..

However, when I try to push recovery using fastboot to the phone, I get the error "downloading boot.img... OKAY"

"booting... FAILED <remote:not allowed>"

I have not tried ROM Manager yet. I'm using the recovery image on the first page.

Does this mean the root was not successful? I will try ROM Manager from the Market when I get home.

Thank you.

And flashed this rom: OTA_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8-1.21.405.2_release4dua3bcrut4wrv30.zip

Can i still root according to this method or am i screwed now?
[Desire Android Development] Miniera77:
Hallo everybody,

I tried to root my desire with unrevoked 3.1 and standard recovery image, it should been rooted because I could run applications like Titanium Backup, Rom Manager, ...

But as I red in this post I've never been able to switch it on into recovery mode, black screen and nothing happen, I put an update.zip file on my SD to flash it using Rom Manager at next boot in recovery mode.

Now is dead, I cannot switch into the system, only with volume down and power button.

HBoot 0.83.001 System 1.24.161.3 Radio-4.08.00.09 (32.41.00.32U)

Is there someone can help me to flash it without using recovery mode (not working) and unrevoked (I cannot switch on the phone)?

Hope there is a solution to recovery my wonderful desire!

thanks a lot

regards

Miniera77

PS: sorry for my english

i have a question. a friend of mine has this:

bravo pvt3 ship s-on

hboot-0.83.001

microp-051d

touch panel-synth0101

radio-4.08.00.09

jun 10 2010 12:12:05

it is fully rooted (unrevoked 3.1) and we had to use recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.1-bravo-slcd.img because otherwise cwm was a black screen.

everything seems to work fine except nandroid restore. every time he attempts to restore he gets an "md5 checksum mismatch" error and the restore operation fails every time.

the strange part is the actual md5's are always a perfect match. we've checked them several times in windows and every img file is a perfect match.

the problem here is that it is telus, there is no official ruu, and he currently he has no way to go back to his stock rom.

any hints?

thanks in advance!
[Desire Android Development] Sgt.EddieWinslow:
Ok i am getting really fed up.

i have successfully rooted ( i think)....anyways, i have cyanogens rom installed, and it works fine...

only thing is that if i have to reboot, or boot into recovery for any reason...the phone will not reboot back into cyanogen...forcing me to play around with the phone for almost an hour trying to get back into recovery so i can either do a Nandroid restore (which doesn't always work)

or i have to completely reinstall everything, which is very annoying

does anyone else have this issue? what is the fix for this?
[Desire Android Development] dferg:
Im having this exact same issue as you mate.

Yesterday i did that trick where you fully charge your battery and wipe stats via clockworkmod recovery. After this it rebooted into cyanogen fine.

Now im not saying the battery trick caused my issues, but the next time i rebooted it just hung at the HTC screen. I pulled the battery and then got into bootloader fine but when i choose recovery it reboots and hangs at htc again.

So i then tried to clear storage in bootloader, which worked fine, but still hung at htc for either recovery or cyanogen boot.

I then pulled the battery again and plugged in my usb into switched off phone and let it charge for about 10 mins. Then i boot into bootloader, then into recovery fine :), wipe data cache and reboot and straight into cyanogen :)

Only thing is i dont fancy switching my phone off again as this has happened a couple of times now! Like you i faff around for a while trying to get past the htc screen, but only after plugging in usb and charging for a few mins do i have 100% success getting into either recvoery or cyanogen
[Desire Android Development] volant:
i have a serious problem. anybody can help?

I´ve got an o2 branded 0.83 sled phone and rooted with this method. is it possible to reverse completely back to stock?

Of course i made a backup with nondroid, but the clockworkmod would still be installed, after restoring it.

Could i just extract a recovery.img from a stock rom, and flash it using clockwork?

If yes, which rom would be the right choice?

I already tried to use the official ruu, offerd by o2 germany on their website. but it unfortunately contained the 0.80 bootloader which turned the phone into a handy black brick and i did not even have a goldcard... :mad: Lucky me. As they didn´t put up a warning that this download should only be used for Amoled Phones, they replaced the phone after one and a half hours of discussion.
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Why not just use the replacement RUU O2 has posted? Assuming this one supports SLCD. Otherwise there is no way to get back, the closest you can get is unbranded stock.

[Desire Android Development] cowai:
I have a 0.83 SLCD HTC Desire. And I have followed this guide. It works. But only the first time.

ClockworkMOD is working the first time directly booted from unrevoked, but not a second time using Volume Down + Power. When I do that I only get the HTC logo. It's stuck forever until I take the battery out.
[Desire Android Development] manom18x:
I have the same problem any solution?

EDIT: I found the solution...Just download rom manager from market and press reboot to recovery!
[Desire Android Development] PAULO76:
Worked really well, have the super user permissions icon now.

Only prob was when it was done I pressed the power key to confirm reboot now and it just put my phone in standby. Couldn't get off the clockwork screen until I pulled the battery.

ps Read somewhere else that you press the trackpad to confirm haha

Windows could not find driver software for your device.

If you know the manufacturer of your device, you can visit its website and check the support section for driver software"

Just got a new Desire with HBoot 0.83. Like my older Desire, i would like to have it rooted without having the recovery being flashed in. This will enable me to decide what recovery i would like to use.

My question....if i would to skip step 9, would i have a rooted Desire without recovery?? If yes then it would be ideal as i then can just put the clockwork update.zip file and load it in recovery from the memory card itself.

Myself and quite a few others with the Telus HTC Desire (HBOOT 0.83, SLCD) suffer from an issue:

50% of the time we enter recovery (via hboot, rom manager, etc.), the device freezes on the white HTC screen. Either a battery pull is required, or a reset via volup+power+oj.

Some documentation here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=750172&page=4

The problem is that i tried to flash a new FROYO rom and Radio but non of them seem to work. (as part of this process i performed a wipe of the phone).

As a result i am staring at the 3 mobile interface (the phone starts as normal but with all the 3 network crap) but now i do not get any reception!

I cannot use the phone any more and dont know how to make the phone work!

Any way to go to my original setup? Any way to correct this and get the phone working?
