The thread seems to have sidetracked a bit.

Back on topic:

I also have used simpleroot in conjustion with the current rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin exploit. It is a full (nand) root. I would think that this will be incorperated into simple root soon. I wouldn't be too hard for the maker of simple root just to add those addition files into the begining on his program.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rpearl:
Yeah, they can glue together whatever they like and they probably will. It doesn't change the fact that you lose your PRI. It doesn't change the fact that HTC might cease-and-desist the hell out of them.

But

please

stop using the term "full root". It is simply idiotic. It was invented on these forums very recently due to the leaked ENG bootloader, and it has no meaning whatsoever in any way. Also, it's stupid.

Root is a concept that has existed for 40 years. It is the privileged account on UNIX machines (and thus Linux machines, and thus Android). "Rooting" is a recent term, which means "to obtain root privileges on an Android phone". While it is a weird verb, and leads to things like "how do I unroot?" (the answer to which is always... just delete the two tiny files on your system, su and Superuser.apk [although this is not the same if you modify the partition, by flashing a custom ROM]), I'm okay with that terminology.

But there is

no such thing

as partial root or full root or three-quarters root or Super Root: Platinum Version. When you have root, you have the ability to run code with root permissions on your device. End of story. That's it.

However, there is an additional level of protection on new HTC phones: a NAND protection unit, implemented in hardware. You must use the leaked ENG bootloader to disable this at the bootloader level (radio remains S-ON), or Unrevoked Forever to disable it at the radio level (radio is now S-OFF, bootloader is too).
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jimmydaux:
SOooooooooooo, I was hoping to get Froyo installed on my DInc, and considered waiting for the OTA version, but wanted to do a full wipe and start from scratch. I got a hold of the RUU file and tried to install via the windows interface. When I couldnt get that to work I exctracted the Rom.zip file, renamed it PB31img.zip and ran it through the recovery screen. Everything seemed to work just fine. It verified the file several times, then asked me if I wanted to update. I hit volume up for yes and allowed it to do its thing. It showed several different screens with different progress bars, and seemed to reboot several times. One of the times though, it just went black. Now I cant get it to do anything.

So the question lies therein,,,, did I kill it? I researched a lot before, and have obviously been researching since, and feel like I followed everything correctly. If I did mess it up, is there any saving it?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ACD168:
Well let me ask you a few questions.

1) how much battery did you have

2) what radio and software were you on previously.

3)s-off, or s-on

4) does it give you the charging light on the phone when plugged in?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tchebb:
Do you remember if it got past the "flashing hboot" and "flashing radio" screens all the way? If it did, you can still probably recover. Does the light turn on when you plug it in?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jimmydaux:
I probably had 80-85% battery. It was stock other than an update to the 2.05 radio.

It went through a few screens but I wasnt paying much attention to what they were exactly. I think I was nervous enough that I had to work on something else while it was working *laundry*

Software was stock 2.1. I hadnt done anything with that. From the Ruu I think I remember it being 1.36 or something close to that. Deffinitely not the 3.xx that the RUU said it would flash it to.

And the one that I think is going to seal my fate,,, no, the battery light does not come on when plugged in.....

I think I sense the answer,,, hello expensive paper weight,,, door stop, potato gun ammunition...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fretless:
The question though is: How did it happen?

It could be possible that the RUU download was corrupted. Specifically the bootloader. Do you have the insurance?

Also a battery pull / charge and pray couldnt hurt at this point. How long has it been this way?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ACD168:
I totally agree, if on radio 2.05x it doesn't make much of any sense that a brick happened.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tchebb:
Agreed. In fact, I just performed this exact same procedure myself and it worked perfectly. The only difference was that I had s-off and the stock radio.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ACD168:
Were certainly missing a variable here.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fretless:
Bingo.

If I was to point to one thing, it would be the 2.x radio, as this ruu and the accompanying ota probably assume the use of the 1.x radio, since the 2.x ota was never publicly released. Unless the battery somehow died or fried in the middle of the flash. I feel for you man. I would cry if mine died...

I'd point my inexperienced unlearned finger squarely at the 2.05.x radio.

Dude, this is a very good chance for you to make verizon give you a new one. Think of it as a golden opportunity.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ACD168:
Also called warranty fraud.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fretless:
Not so! Its called warranty use!

He did not root the phone, so its not fraud. All he was doing was installing what he thought was a legitimate RUU.

Not fraud.

Apologies if i missed something.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ACD168:
I agree, just being a smart ass lol. I'd make full use outta calling for a refurb.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fretless:
To be honest, I'd be a hot candidate for warranty fraud if mine messed up. Call me evil...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orcsbane13:
The 2.05 radio is not to blame. I had the that same radio and used the Rom.zip to update my phone with no problems. Only difference was I have s-off but that shouldn't make a difference here. Everything else was stock including the recovery.

Sent from my Droid Incredible
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdmerck:
OP, did you perform a checksum on the RUU to verify it was a complete download?

I also don't think the 2.05 radio is to blame here either.

Hmm....
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Berzerker7:
Technically, it is warranty fraud, since he's invoking the warranty right by damage caused by the user, which warranties don't cover unless they're accidental damage warranties.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GermanBrat:
The 2.05 radio shouldn't matter. The RUU contains a radio img not a patch like the 2.05 leak.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jimmydaux:
Well friends, I couldnt get anything to happen. I took it into the Verizon store and I told them that I was trying to install the update and something happened mid install and it died. I asked him if that would be something I would have to file an insurance claim on, but he said that it wasnt my fault if it died during the update........... his words.... so they gave me another phone to replace it. THey were all out of their 'replacement' phones, so I actually got a brand new phone because of this whole deal. I lucked out I know! And yes,,,, i may have shed a tear or two yesterday when it happend, but after walking into the V store, I had a crazy overwhelming relief that I wasnt going to be at a complete loss.

So, just in case anyone is following this,,, what other variables would need to be looked at in order to see why this happened.

I did not run a Checksum, but it seemed to run other than the driver issues. The Rom file that was installed was 168 mb, renamed properly and installed through the recovery screen from the sd card root. The phone was not touched during this time. Did I just have a misfortunate run in with what I thought was a legitimate way to get the update installed?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ACD168:
You brick your phone and they give you a brand new one. no way, how old was your other phone. and what state are you in. they took care of u.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kipphh:
You going to tell on him lol
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fretless:
Glad everything worked out for you. And yes, i felt that 2.05 radio shouldnt have been the issue. I think that it just.... keeled.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jimmydaux:
I had this one for about 2 or 3 weeks. I think it was because it was within the 30 days that they hooked me up.

Well I hope than no one else has bad luck with this method of upgrade. I think I learned my lesson and I will be patient and wait for the OTA update this time.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NinjaRicky:
I used the ROM.zip on two of the four DInc my family has last night, both of which went smooth as silk. Wiped my apps, but I had already backed up everything. Both phones were stock. No upgraded radio, root, S-Off or anything. The method you used should have worked on a stock phone safely.. but of course I must say *I DO NOT ADVISE IT AND TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY IF YOU DO IT!!! OMGWTFLOLZ".. and with that disclaimer.. "Hooked on ROM.zip worked for me!"
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ACD168:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DavidMc0:
Recently I've been trying out various Android builds, and it's really handy being able to back up my entire system by just copying my SD contents to my computer.

Also, I have 2 SD cards, and it's great being able to play around with one and then easily go back to my 'stable' build on the other SD card.

Though the future aim is to enable Android to load from NAND, it's also quite cool being able to run from the SD card, specially for testing new builds & having a quick and easy way to return to a previous setup.

Could it be possible to 'flash' WinMo roms to an SD card?

After booting the WinMo rom installed to NAND, a small program apparently similar to HaRet could launch the ROM that is installed on the SD card.

If possible, what would be needed to make it happen?

Cheers!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] troed:
WOW ! That now is a very good idea ! Would make things MUCH easier when trying out other ROMS though batt-drain would be higher when running from SDcard, but anyway it would be just for testing ..............
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DavidMc0:
Yeah, I wouldn't be too concerned about the battery drain due to the fact it's just for testing, and that current Android builds seem pretty good with the battery even though they run from the SD.

Glad you like the idea too!

Thanks :D
[Legend Themes and Apps] BicolXpress:
Try camera 360 from the market
[Legend Themes and Apps] qzem:
You won't find a working camera, cause it is not a problem in application but somewhere else(drivers or something). If you want a froyo with working camera you should use Azure rom. Camera there works great:). And other functions are good aswell.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tierra:
Hi folks,

I'm currently with Telus and I will be re-rooting my phone but I don't want to lose the radio that came with the phone. Is there a way to extract the radio, maybe from a nandroid backup?

I find the radio that comes default with the phone does not suck as much battery power as the other international radios do.

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] slimjimwoods:
I might be wrong, but unless you flash a new radio, it remains when you flash a new rom....
[Hero, G2 Touch General] theSpam:
Nandroid backups unfortunately don't include the radio.

Some people find that installing 63.18.55.06IU_6.35.08.22 gives performance that is similar to the Telus radio (63.18.55.06DAU_6.35.08.20).

Hopefully there is a way to extract a radio since I'm interested in that as well.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Kukussi:
I can confirmed, since I've rooted my phone, I've tried all the Radio's available and the one I have found to work best is 63.18.55.06IU_6.35.08.22 ! Although some people are using other Radio's and find that they work as good as 08.22 so It's pretty much up to you to test the radio's and find the one that you think works for you!

Cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch General] marleyfan61:
Take a look in the

[ROM] Official HTC Hero RUU ROM + Radio Links thread. (sorry they don't let new users post links)

The 08.22 radio you want is there. Download and put onto your SD card. After flashing your rom reboot into revovery and flash the radio file just like you did the rom file.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dkelley:
as someone sort of guessed at here, radios are something you don't have to worry about.

a radio doesn't get backed up or restored in nandroid. but also, a radio doesn't get flashed when you flash a new rom onto your phone.

the radio software stays exactly the same unless you specifically flash a different radio onto your phone. and then it stays like that forever too until you flash yet another different one on there.

so stick with your default radio, assuming telus actually sets it up with a telus-friendly-radio out of hte box...

if you accidentally screw it up, flashing .08.22 radio will get you back pretty close to where you are now in terms of performance. However none of us probably has the original radio from our telus phones any longer because this didn't become common knowledge until relatively recently, so if you CAN I suggest not flashing any radios on your phone at all ever. that way you will retain the radio software taht came with your phone which, hopefully, is better than anything else for our crazy telus requirements.

so go ahead and flash roms, you'll have no troubles.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] marleyfan61:
When I first got my hero, prior to rooting, my reception at home was terrible. I would routinely get 0 to 1 bars. So this would have been with the stock Telus radio. In fact, every phone I've had has had terrible reception in this location. After flashing 08.22 I am now getting from 2 to 5 bars at home. So although the 08.22 radio is supposed to be close to the stock radio, I'm finding it quite a bit better. Your mileage may vary.
[Droid Incredible General] ogre150:
Does anyone have a copy of the first update.zip from May? I looked around and can't find it. Or if someone can direct me to the RUU that has this included, that would be awesome too.

Did you do the downgrade after rooting? If you didn't get it, vzwsupport on twitter say to go to a store and have them push it to you. I'm in the same boat.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noxious Ninja:
The only thing I've heard people use is MyBackup. You can give the trial version a shot.

Once you're rooted, you should probably get the donate version of Titanium Backup. It makes it incredibly easy to backup and restore stuff.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sombdy:
+1

MyBackup is good when you don't have root. After, TB is the best app. In addition after root, you can do a nandroid backup which is like a Windows Restore Point in that it allows you to restore to a previous state in case you totally mess something up. It is recommended before flashing a new ROM or kernel.

Ok, so I had rooted my phone and was attempting to install a custom ROM when I accidentally put the wrong PC36IMG.zip file to my sd card. When it went to HBOOT and asked to update I said yes. It did not update and this is what I get Radio V2- Fail, System- Fail, and WIMax- Fail. When I try to reboot it comes up to the HTC EVO 4G white screen and it stays there. Doesn't do anything. Tried to reload the corret PC36IMG file but I still get the same error. I've been reading through the forum and cannot find find anything that describes my problem. I've tried different solutions but my problem is that I cannot get tomy sdcard and the computer will not recognize my Evo as a drive.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sombdy:
Try selecting HBOOT USB and push a recovery image through adb commands. Look at Toast's guide "How to Root" in the development forums. Since you can still get to the bootloader screen, you are not bricked. But since you do not have a custom recovery, you will have do a little adb.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sombdy:
Did you select hboot usb in the bootloader screen? This should allow communication with your PC. If not, you will have to pull the sdcard out of your phone and insert it into a card reader and then copy over a good PC36img.zip file. Then put it back into your phone and press vol dn + power to boot into the bootloader. It should then recognize the .zip file you just loaded and ask you for an update. Press vol up to select yes.

Then go to Amon_RA's thread in the dev forum and follow his instructions on installing his recovery.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v_lestat:
wont recognize it... sounds like a bad card or bad microsd to sd adapter

just follow what the others have stated

boot to bootloader, choose hboot usb

your computer will show you the screen like you inserted a sdcard and ask if you want to browse it

do it! and delete the bad file.

then while you are there format the drive in my computer and see what happens.

if nothing,, see my other recomendation.

preferred method ( ??? )

boot to bootloader screen

fastboot will be highlighted, hit the power button, you are now in fastboot mode

then use adb to flash the amon ra 1.8 recovery.

(you can also try "clear storage" but i have never done this so do not know if it only clears sdcard)

just look for that thread in the dev. section and folow the instructions to a T on how to install amon ra 1.8

i made a possible flawed assumption above.

amon ra 1.8 can be flashed using fastboot, i did not do mine that way and assumed it means boot into bootlaoder and choose fastboot, then flash using adb.

if that is incorrect, i apologize.

lastly have you tried pulling the battery.
