You shouldn't get any freezing with Amon RA, which recovery did you install?

I'm running OD 4.0 but have not tried the camera (don't have time to play at the moment) but it could be a bug, check the OpenDesire thread to see what known issues there are, and what other users are saying. You can use any ROM you want, but OD is the best in my opinion.....

Glad the tutorial helped you out, happy modding!

I cant get it to work

I am trying this with my Telus Desire and it just gets stuck on: "waiting for bootloader; make sure driver is installed!" Its pissing me off.

I cant install the HBoot driver, my computer will not use the file when I direct it to it.

HBoot version is: 0.083.0001

Anyone know whats the problem?
[Desire Android Development] tsoifun:
Blowtoke, understand the instructions are only for those having HBOOT 0.8 - correct?
[Desire Android Development] Davindy:
What OS are you using? 32 or 64?
[Desire Android Development] Davindy:
Yes you are correct, I wrote this specifically for the Telus HTC Desire, which I believe is .083......
[Desire Android Development] dvice19:
32 bit Windows XP.
[Desire Android Development] sookster54:
Did this flawlessly using unrevoker3 for Linux, I haven't upgraded from 2.1-update1 yet though since I'm on the fence about waiting for the official Telus OTA update but likely that won't be until 2011. If so, I wonder what's the best ROM to go with, OpenDesire and if I'm able to revert back to the 2.1 later on?
[Desire Android Development] Davindy:
Just do a Nandroid backup of your stock Telus ROM, and flash whatever you want, then you can go back to your Stock 2.1. OpenDesire is my favourite by far......highly recommend it!
[Desire Android Development] sookster54:
Thanks, but now the problem is after applying the radio it just hangs at "htc" after selecting recovery, been about 30 some minutes.
[Desire Android Development] Davindy:
Pull your battery and reboot, if the radio didn't finish or choked it will fix itself after rebooting.......same thing happen to me.
[Desire Android Development] sookster54:
Good stuff, OpenDesire 4.0 and it's rocking, now to figure out how to move apps to the SD.
[Desire Android Development] Blazeitup123:
well i have running a rooted telus desire with leedroid 2.0 for a couple of days using this method. working nicely.

thanks a lot for the tut.

For People Having Driver Issues

For those of you having driver issues:

I have confirmed this to work on both Windows 7 64 bit and 32 bit.

What you need:

Unrevoked (or other) USB drivers

http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/lib/exe/fetch.php?hash=908951&media=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.unrevoked.com%2Frecovery%2Fandroid-usb-driver.zip

HTC Sync 2.0.38 (google it :p, or find it on the HTC website)

Install HTC sync

Plug in your phone with USB debugging enabled. Windows will install the appropriate drivers.

Unzip the Unrevoked drivers to a place you will remember.

Unplug your phone (whether this is truly necessary, I'm not sure :p) and shut the power off. Restart the phone in the bootloader (Power + Volume Down held).

Plug in your phone (again with USB debugging enabled).

Go to control panel>> hardware and sound>>device manager and find where it says "Android 1.0"

Right click on "Android 1.0" and update driver. Find the directory where you extracted the Unrevoked drivers. Select it and follow through with the driver installation. WIndows may warn you about the driver...install it anyways.

With this, you should be good to go

Bad Signal

Hi, since new radios came out i saw the quality signal of my Desire drop drastically. I'm on Bell network in Quebec City, anything could improve the signal or troubleshoot the issue? :confused:
[Desire Android Development] bohg:
great tut but...please help

To OP:

Thanks for the great tut. I'm a total noob when it comes to android but after finding this tut I took the plunge and rooted my new telus desire. I flashed the radio linked in the first post and then flashed Leedroid 2.0 ROM successfully. My problem is that now my phone wont connect to the HSPA network but seems to connect to the CDMA network ok? I get 2 bars of signal but the up/down internet arrows are gone. Is this because the new radio is not compatable? I could'nt find any settings to fix this. If I select "GSM only" in network settings I get no bars at all but they return if I select GSM/WCDMA auto. I'm in the greater Vancouver region. Please help! thank you
[Desire Android Development] Sevennl:
Great Tut. and i hope i can try it soon.

Maybe you could add an section to it about downgrading the newer models, as mine came shipped with 2.2 and the new bootloader.
[Desire Android Development] Davindy:
Sorry for the late reply......did you get this sorted out?
[Desire Android Development] Davindy:
If you have Amon RA recovery installed, boot to recovery and partition your card using the partition tools, you need an ext3 partition, I used 1GB for size on a 8GB card. Then you can move apps to the SD card.....
[Desire Android Development] Davindy:
Could you tell us your current radio version?
[Desire Android Development] Davindy:
You probably just need too add your APN...see if this helps:

[Desire Android Development] blauze:
I got 32.47.00.32U_5.10.05.23
[Desire Android Development] bohg:

Everything seems to be working as it should now.
[Desire Android Development] adobomb:

[Desire Android Development] Davindy:
Sorry, for some reason I thought you said you were on Bell.....glad it worked out!
[Desire Android Development] Davindy:
You need to provide us with more detail....sounds like a driver issue, but could you tell us what steps work and what step doesn't? What your phone or screen says during the failed step.....?
[Desire Android Development] Davindy:

[Desire Android Development] qariboy:
Hi,

OS= win 7 (32)

I am totally lost guys. firstly, when I run unrevoke3, I setup AmonRa recovery image for it. when I plugged in my phone with debugging ON it asked for android 1.0 driver. so I went to the usb driver (from where I got ADB driver previously), it gave me 3 choices again. I selected "android composite ADB interface" something like that. one is "anroid ADB interface" and "android bootloader interface". do i have to select "android composite ADB interface" again?

here are the steps I followed:

after step 7 my phone has restarted by revoked3 into hboot , and when I goto recovery it ends up with a red triangle.
[Desire Android Development] qariboy:
Thanks to you bro ... I have gone by this process i had to select bootloader from android 1.0 thing.

when I load the image provided in unrevoke3(which I run as admin) it restarted and takes me to Hboot but when I hit recover it ends up at red triangle.

and can u guys suggest me a detailed guide to backup my 2.1 sense rom.
[Desire Android Development] qariboy:
One more question:

the Clockwork file link is a zip file, how do we run it through unrevoke.

(i m not dumb, just confused)
[Desire Android Development] qariboy:
OK I guess the problem was with my office computer which was a win 7 32 bit. i installed it perfectly with a win 7 64 bit windows. there are few instructions missing which I will post soon with detail.
[Desire Android Development] NewMossie:
Ok, I've followed the instructions and got the root access. But before I move on, I'm having trouble getting in recovery. It only shows the white HTC screen and a little black bar at the top and hangs there. I need to pull my battery to reboot. Do I need to re-flash it or something?

Used the Amon RA recovery image.
[Desire Android Development] Davindy:
Sounds like you're not loading a custom recovery into Revoked before connecting your phone......you need to be sure you're loading the SLCD version of recovery, use the latest Amon RA Recovery it is the best by far!
[Desire Android Development] NewMossie:
Ended up flashing with Clockwork 2.5.0.7. I'll figure out how to get Amon RA on there later. :)

Thanks for the guide. I got CM6 working now, cheers.
[Desire Android Development] chihf:
Hi noob here, I have a Telus Desire and i used these steps(see below) i found online but came across this thread afterwards..

1.Run the reflash_package.exe

2. Follow the instructions in the .html file to install the HBOOT driver.

3. Install HTC Sync if you have not already. (Needed for adb drivers)

3. Once you have it, uninstall HTC Sync and any other programs that could cause interference like doubletwist (leave HTC Driver Installer)

4. Reboot your PC.

5. With your phone go to Settings > Connect to PC > Default connection type > Charge Only then Untick ‘Ask Me’

6. Then go to Settings > Applications > Development > Make sure USB Debugging is ticked.

7. Then go back to Applications and make sure Unknown Sources is ticked.

8. Start the reflash.exe in Admin mode (Right Click > Run as Admin (Only required for Windows Vista + 7)

9. Connect your phone

my problem is that I left my phone plugged in until step 9!

it started the rooting process and Unrevoked said "Done!" but now my screen is black and it wont turn on

What can i do?

thanks in advance for any help
[Desire Android Development] ~David:
Can you boot into HBOOT? (Power + Vol Down)
[Desire Android Development] chihf:
no it wont boot into hboot
[Desire Android Development] ~David:
Was your battery charged when you started this?

Plug it in (AC, not USB) and see if the orange LED turns on. If it does, try turning it on again.
[Desire Android Development] chihf:
ok it just started working again..was scared i just bricked my new phone lol

will try to root again

thanks david!
[Desire Android Development] ~David:
Was it because it wasn't charged?

If so, let it fully charge before you try again. (Leave it plugged into AC, it will charge faster.)
[Desire Android Development] chihf:
no embarassingly enough i didnt try pulling the battery out lol

first attempt failed(hangs on HTC with black bar along top) im on windows 7 x32 but ran unrevoked under vista compatibility

i will keep trying

thanks
[Desire Android Development] ~David:
No need to run it in Vista compatibility mode, it should run just fine on Windows 7.

Also, try AmonRA 1.7.0.1 Recovery instead: http://www.2shared.com/file/tqoky2cM/recovery-RA-desire-v1701-R5-SL.html

It's better than the Clockwork Recovery included with unrEVOked and most prefer it (File > Custom recovery...)
[Desire Android Development] chihf:
Im having the same problem again, Unrevoked says 'Done!' but the phone isnt in recovery mode. Its a black screen and i need to pull the battery out to reboot.

Keep trying or try it in a windows XP machine i have?

thanks again
[Desire Android Development] ~David:
See my last post.

Try it with AmonRA Recovery instead.
[Desire Android Development] Zot Ditz Myo:
If I use the TELUS OTA froyo update planned for October,

will I be able to follow these steps afterwards or will I have to wait for an updated procedure with the new versions?
[Desire Android Development] ~David:
It will still work, unrEVOked 3.21 supports Froyo.

P.S. Don't get your hopes up for that official 2.2 update. Telus almost never delivers on promised updates. See the Hero for the best example; not only did they never release their 2.1 update, they've completely discontinued the phone now without notice.
[Desire Android Development] Zot Ditz Myo:
Thanks for making my day! :-)
[Desire Android Development] Bungiecord:
Followed all instructions from the OP; just when I boot after flashing anything using HSPA does not seem to work, data and everything is down. Thoughts?
[Desire Android Development] Davindy:
You're missing your APN....what network are you on?
[Desire Android Development] Bungiecord:
Oh wow now I feel like a tard for not realizing something as simple as that, thanks. Aswell since that is fixed, I was under the impression that rooting/flashing would unbrand my phone (in my mind removing the sim lock) but that doesn't seem to have taken place.
[Desire Android Development] killaTM:
Can someone please fix the link for AmonRA recovery? It's not working anymore. There is an error titled "Dropbox 404"
[Desire Android Development] sookster54:
Right now they're saying Desire will get 2.2 and so will the Milestone and LG Shine Plus, my bets is neither will happen because the Milestone 2 is already on its way but the Desire is still possible but not until after new years, and Shine Plus is supposedly scheduled for mid oct just like the Ally. Telus was pretty bad with delivering OS 5 for Blackberries too, took for freaking ever.
[Desire Android Development] killaTM:
I followed this tutorial, and everything looked like it worked. I even see the Superuser app, and can make a Nandroid backup. But when I try this:

-open cmd

-navigate to android-sdk-windows/tools

-type in "adb shell"

-type in "su"

It says access denied. Is this normal? I read somewhere Revoked doesn't give you full root. What does this mean? Is this the result of that? Can I still install custom ROMs?
[Desire Android Development] firebelly:
ok just a noob so bear with me

What does clearstorage do?

I mean I want to know what it does other than clear storage, is it the internal memory or the sd card

if i just want to unlock and not install a new rom

upto which step should I go I am thinking no. 10

If you follow my steps properly and carefully you won't have any issues, you've obviously just missed a step or didn't follow a step exactly.

Tell me where you're stuck or what the issue is and I'll try to help you......
[Desire Android Development] the_ahmadzais:
when i go to hboot recovery it turns the phone off. if i turn it on its stuck with white screen with htc logo
[Desire Android Development] peytral:
Ok so it appears I "lost" my nandroid backup... should I be worried? I formatted my SD card haha... =/
[Desire Android Development] eddyther:
Can You reach The recovery?

From there go to installation zip and install a new ROM (previously downloaded an copied to the root of your SD)

From recovery usually you can activate SD card for transfering files from the pc.If not, insert the SD on the pc in order to copy the rom.

Dont forget to swipe all from recovery before that and i Hope that you already made a backup of everything with titanium

Can I install Leedroid for a slcd ? And why I don't have nandroid option in recovery ?
[Desire Android Development] slimdizzy:
The phone isn't off, the screen went blank. I had this happen to me when I first rooted. You used the wrong recovery image. Find my original thread and use the image from there. You should then be able to are the recovery menu.

Myself and others can't stress enough that this stuff isn't for noobs or people not willing to accept that they might brick your phone. Stop flooding the forums. All the threads you started, people have given you solutions but it seems your lack of understanding the process is your main reason for your wife's phone not working.
[Desire Android Development] slimdizzy:
Leedroid works perfect on my buddy's telus desire. The nandroid backup is just the backup option in the backup and restore menu.
[Desire Android Development] fourire:
and which radio do you take ?
[Desire Android Development] Over8ted:
Does anyone perhaps have a Telus RUU in order to unroot? I've been searching around for one as no other RUUs will work with my Desire. I never happened to actually do a Nandroid backup when I first rooted my phone either. I find no reason to have my phone rooted now that Telus finally rolled the OTA out, that and I'm uneasy about my warranty becoming void if anything happens to go south.
[Desire Android Development] Squatt:
Any clue if these steps work fine after the 2.2 update from telus? I just wanted to just make sure before giving it a whirl.

[Nexus One Android Development] carnegie0107:
Okay, digging deep into Android's source.... not for the feint of heart, and not for those whose coding skills are somewhere just above, "Hello, world!" (Me)

Here's the deal. We all know, with Froyo, Google disabled task killers. No app can kill another app. I for one am happy, because killing all apps when your screen goes off is stupid, pointless, and all kinds of harmful. Well, happy but for one little thing....

Killing other apps still does have a purpose! Specifically, in my case, I want to replace my long-press home option with a cool app switcher that also gives me the ability to kill a running app if I know I am done with it for the day and it refuses to die naturally. I'm sure there are other legitimate uses for it, such as killing everything before a benchmark. Sure, these are very specific, uncommon uses, but a thousand apps on the Market exist for specific, uncommon uses, and I think that most hackers/modders with su here would know better than to let a task killer run rampant. Anyone wanna discuss re-enabling this on 2.2?

Edit: I should correct myself. I keep saying "app," what I mean is "service." I know you can still stop (most) apps, but not services. Which keeps a lot of apps running, despite your best efforts. Forgive me for misusing the words
[Nexus One Android Development] stuff:
wait task managers dont actually kill in 2.2? This is news to me, as one I have downloaded seems to work fine..
[Nexus One Android Development] uoY_redruM:
^ditto.......
[Nexus One Android Development] carnegie0107:
Taskiller will show the app was killed. I'm sure many others will too. But kill an app, then go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Running, and you'll see that it's still running.

Edit: I should correct myself. I keep saying "app," what I mean is "service." I know you can still stop (most) apps, but not services. Which keeps a lot of apps running, despite your best efforts. Forgive me for misusing the words.
[Nexus One Android Development] djmcnz:
Forgive the obvious question but can't the services just be killed by a root request/process? If so, creating an interface for this should be easy as pants.

Of course, root is required but that shouldn't be a constraint.
[Nexus One Android Development] carnegie0107:
True. But wouldn't it make more sense to allow the dozens of non-root apps that already exist to do this, rather than have to re-write an app that does the exact same thing, but has to use su? It would be safer, too. Running everything as root all the time runs contrary to the whole idea of Linux. It's better to give apps the permissions they need, rather than give everything unlimited power.
[Nexus One Android Development] djmcnz:
Oh, I see. It might be useful but that's the essence of the Froyo changes... it can't be done now without root. You've have to compromise the security model... probably not a feasible route...
[Nexus One Android Development] daveid:
I think you are mistaken, maybe in Manage Applications it still shows it as "stoppable", however... I just did a test.

1. Opened DDMS on my PC.

2. Took note of an app to test with (speedtest) that was currently running.

3. Opened Advanced Task Manager.

4. Killed speedtest with task manager and watched it disappear from the running process list in DDMS.

Obviously ATM was able to kill the task. And, just so you know, it did not start running again. Also, it was removed from the "Running" tab in Manage Applications, so you are double wrong.

And, in case you were going to further the argument that you meant to say "Services", I just killed the PhoneFusion VM service with ATM, and it was removed from the running process list in DDMS.
[Nexus One Android Development] carnegie0107:
Or create something that uses su to kill these processes for third-party apps, without the need for them to have su. Similar to superuser apk, but on a more specific level. Or, we could make it even better, and have superuser hand out specific, user-approved permissions, rather than permit root access as a whole to any app.

Apparently there's not a lot of interest in this, but I thought it would make an interesting discussion.

I haven't seen anyone else post this issue, but I have 2 vibrant's. One completely stock, the other rooted with ZA lag fix.but when either one is on the charger (or charging via pc/mac) the phone is very slow and choppy. Does anyone else have this issue?
[Vibrant General] Sik96teG:
I have seen this issue but only with non oem samsung vibrant chargers/usb cables. I have one that makes my phone completely unusable and another that makes the phone respond on its own.
[Vibrant General] Deleted member 299095:
The charger that I use every night is the one that came in the box.
[Vibrant General] randomlinuxguy:
Same

I have this exact issue on a stock vibrant i got this morning. I was surprised that this was the only place i saw this mentioned; which lead me to register at the forums.

The touchscreen becomes less accurate i think; when flipping through app pages it will often open an app accidentally if the charger is plugged into the wall. havent tried from a computer or car yet.

It not bad enough of an issue for me to return it but it is a bummer. If anyone finds a work around i would be interested.
[Vibrant General] mistical:
This happens to me with the stock wall charger too but only when I have it connected to a source converter, more specifically a vehicle outlet power source adapter: Duracell 175 Watt DC to AC Pocket Power Source Inverter.

I didn't try and see if I only connected via USB to that device if it still was the same. But I do know it is with wall charger to the outlet on that particular device.

Now other than that device, I have not experienced this issue or the few times it was plugged into my computer.

But I do know it is annoying when the problem occurs, even though it is easy to disconnect and then use real fast or do what you need to do and then reconnect, it is still an extra task that has to be done.
