Rooting newbee questions

Hi All,

I am a newbee to rooting process (though not to the forum) and when searching for answers I am being piled up with way too much info which doesn't really give me direct answers. So please forgive me if the following questions have been answered somewhere before:

Is there any difference between a rooted phone and original froyo with regards to the apps that can be moved to SDCard? Can I move more when the phone is rooted?

If my phone is rooted? Does it carry an official rom and radio? Or is it a cooked one?

Can I get standard software updates once my phone is rooted? If not, where can I get the updates from?

Before I root my phone, how can I tell which rom and radio I am using? And is there a process to revert back to unrooted phone at it's original current status?

Also, will a rooted phone keep the HTC sense and all of my config for it?

Thank you for your answers and patience...

[Desire Android Development] verdy25:
Hi guys,

I'm new here and I read this thread how to root HTC Desire. all the commets assured me this is quite safe and decided to do it. But now I'm not sure if done it correctlly or at all.

First suspicious thig was that there was no HBOOT USB option to select when I powered the phone by pressing Volume down and power button and connecting USB cable to my PC. Only thing that changed (after connecting USB cable) was HBOOT to HBOOT USB PLUG and again no HBOOT USB to select, all there is/was are: FASTBOOT, RECOVERY, CLEAR STORAGE and SIMLOCK.

Related to this, when I connected the phone to PC and scanned for hadware changed in Device Manager I got Android Phone and under it Android Bootloader Interface.

Regardless I continued with rooting using unrevoked3 method. Application found my phone and everything went fine and I waited till it said "Done". Then I powered the phone using Volume down and Power button and again entered the HBOOT menu. I selected Recovery and entered ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.7. There was no Nandroid backup option so I selected backup and restore hoping to find it here but then I got black screen and nothing happened. Also I tryied reboot system now and again I got only black screen and nothing happed. When I press again Power button I get back to ClockworkMod menu. Btw. when I normally boot my phone in Applications I have Superuser Permissons Ninja app but when I start it again I have only black screen, is this normal?

I have Windows XP SP3, I removed HTC Sync, left the drivers. Phone has latest OTA update v2.29.405.5, with Baseband version/Radio 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27.

I HBOOT menu it says S-ON, can this be the cause?

Have I done something wrong or what?

Thanks in advance.
[Desire Android Development] godina:
Your HBOOT and FASTBOOT are working just fine. After you plug in usb in HBOOT or FASTBOOT your FASTBOOT and HBOOT will automatically change in FASTBOOT USB or HBOOT USB PLUGGED, there is no way to manually choose this.

Only black screen in Superuser app is quite normal, only when you will be using app that requires superuser priviliges, Superuser app will ask you if you want to allow superuser privileges to app, then your Superuser app will not be black but it will show you a list of previously run apps that require superuser privileges. So this is working fine and you probably have a rooted device.

As for backup i dont really know why you cant use it...do you maybe have a earsize 40000 device?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
If you use the power button in recovery, it turns the screen off. You must use the trackball to select in recovery ;)
[Desire Android Development] verdy25:
Thanks for you answers. I realy don't know if I have earsize 40000 device. I found your post here on forum asking about this, but how can I find this out? I got my phone from T-Mobile and it's still locked. I made a gold card prior to rooting.

Here is what it says in V-down+power button menu (if this helps):

And when I choose Recovery to enter ClockworkMod:

- reboot system now (doesn't work, only black screen when I select it)

- apply sdcard:update.zip (these four I didn't try, don't want to mess something up)

- wipe data/factory reset

- wipe cache partition

- install zip from sd card

- backup and restore (doesn't work, only black screen when I select it)

- mounts and storage (doesn't work, only black screen when I select it)

- advanced (doesn't work, only black screen when I select it)

Solved my problem. When I selected backup and restore I got in Nandroid menu. Making backup right now.

One thing should be added to the OT:

You need to install HTC Sync to geht the HTC drivers, and then uninstall HTC Sync and leave the drivers alone.

Otherwise your Phone will not be detected by UNREVOKED.

2:

I just rooted my brand new SLCD Desire (PVT4) UK Vodafone Branded with the method in the OT.

a)

When I start CWM Recovery it gives me errors, such as

b)

When I try to flash a zipped ROM via CWM

it gives me an error with Status:7

c)

When I try to partition my SD Card via ROM Manager,

it only reboots and enters CWM

Do I get these errors because of the pvt4 or slcd??

Do I have to install AmonRa recovery?

If so, how can I do that with unrevoked on my already (half-)rooted phone???

Please advise....!!:confused:
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
No problem.

FYI pvt4 is erasesize 40000
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Pvt 4 requires a modified clockwork mod.

Edit wrong link gimme minute

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=853583

No. It is the right link but the modified clockwork mod has been removed. Maybe the latest release now works?

So you have to download and go through unrevoked again. At the bit about recovery, browse with unrevoked to where you saved modded clockwork
[Desire Android Development] cgorki:
thanks danfrance,

but i tried it just now with the latest UNREVOKED release, it gave me CWM 2.5.0.7 and a whole bunch of errors...

I read that AmonRA recovery might work with pvt4, but I failed pushing it via adb on my phone, (I enter CWM, push AmonRA, it shows the interface of AmonRA but when I press any button it turns back to CWM)

And I also read somwhere about this modified CWM Version, but couldn't find a working link...

So still in need of help guys!
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I was talking about latest clockwork not latest unrevoked.

Im working on the link...

OK cant find it. Sorry. It was in that thread yesterday. Ive asked whats happened to it, but no answer yet. Just keep an eye on it.

Hi,

I have the very same phone, SLCD desire with froyo 2.2 and HBOOT .93 but was somehow unable to root my phone.

I was able to install the HBOOT drivers by skipping step 3 (it showed up in device manager as Android bootloader interface) but the reflash package only got to the bootloader screen....then just 'waited for system to settle' and came up with 'internal error:am reported error starting service'. Everything was as the unrevoked video walkthrough showed it to be untill the phone reached the bootloader screen...then the phone just starts up as normal and i get the error message...what am i doing wrong??

Im hoping you can help me out, as you gout yours to work .

Please Help!

Trying to get this to work on my UK T-Mobile Desire.

So i followed all the instructions installed the windows usb driver no problem, unrevoked found the phone first time and got to work installing, it rebooted the phone twice, on the 2nd reboot the phone sat with the initial boot screen circle and went no further. I left it for over 30 minutes like this, unrevoked screen saying waiting for reboot and phone doing nothing.

Have tried battery pull, phone wont reboot just hangs with circle on screen.

Tried holding power and volume and choosing recovery, phone then hangs with circle on screen, tried factory resetting which goes though then hangs on reboot again.

So currently i have a dead phone and am out of ideas? Can anyone assist?
[Desire Android Development] Mesktomten:
Ktadaemon: I've experienced the same I believe. Just try too boot up (normal) a few times and then you (hopefully) have a working phone at least.
[Desire Android Development] Ktadaemon:
Thanks, i'll keep trying, so far 30+ reboot attempts and no success :mad:

[Desire Android Development] alex_hk90:
I've never really looked into unrooting but I thought you just had a flash a stock (unrooted) ROM. As for S-OFF, the instructions on the AlphaRev site are pretty noob-friendly (essentially you just boot up their livecd, have your phone plugged in with USB debugging enabled and run it - it's an automated process and anything you have to do it tells you).

re: kharekatoh

I had this too.... turned out I had no space on the phone storage - so i un-installed a bunch of applications then ran it again - worked perfectly....

in summary I had 3 issues when following the instructions/videos:

1) there wasn't a HBOOT USB option when I first entered HBOOT - turned out this didn't matter as the device was already saying HBOOT USB at the top...

2) Unrevoked just sat their saying "waiting for device" - just had to install HTC sync (first 4 options including drivers and then cancelled out when it started main install)

3) Got a package install failed error when running Unrevoked - just didn't have enough space

Other than that all ran smooooothly!

Can't install any custom rom and use my backup :(

Hey guys,

I've just rooted my phone using the latest Unrevoked and Hboot .. it went ok .. Then I downloaded the latest CyanogenMod-6.1.1 for HTC Desire CDMA plus the google add-ons and copied them to my SD card. The I got a recovery from my phone, but it wasn't saying NANdroid or sth, just backup (?) then I wipe and factory reset my phone and tried to flash with the ROM but I got a (Status 7) error .. I tried this 2-3 times but didn't work, then tried to restore my phone but got an error of missmatch MDS5 or sth :( ..

Now im just using my Rooted desire with no custom rom :( ..

Can anyone pleaaaaaaaaaaase help me to install this custom rom or a better one if you have a better suggestions ?

p.s. My phone is S-ON and tried to make it S-OFF but the instructions that I found are all for GSM Desire, not CDMA Desire.

So what should I do ?
[Desire Android Development] andQlimax:

I updated the driver successfully. It now shows bootloader under Android devices.

But when I try to run runrevoked on windows, I ticked the boxes debugging and charge only. Once the program is lunched. The screen remains "waiting for device, plug phone and enable USB debugging"

Maybe its HTC sync? But I cannot find it in Applications to uninstall it(thus I think I dont have it).

The application screen remains with the big UNREVOKED3 screen and nothing changes.

What can I do?
[Desire Android Development] andQlimax:
Apart the bootloader driver u need also the htc driver..

if u never installed htc synch, so I think u need the drivers

Install last htc synch (link), uninstall it (but leaving the drivers) and then run unrevoked, when it ask to plug the phone plug it and thats it (ensure before to plug the phone u already checked usb debug and charge only as default option)
