[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bender1077:
Oh boy! To reinstall your previously backed up programs you would have had to backup the apps to a B/U app like - TITANIUM, MYBACKUP, or ASTRO.

Did you do this?

If not.... You may have to re-download through the market!

As far as storage space check this really quick:

Menu>Settings>SD&Phone Storage - Let me know the AVAILABLE SPACE under INTERNAL PHONE STORAGE.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnkim575:
Frozen:(

Well where do i start. The storage problem went away so I redownloaded rom manager and tried to restore from back up, but now its frozen in the htc EVO 4g screen. I am seeing the sprint 4G screen come up:( any suggestions? I am able to get to the HBOOT screen but don't know what to do from there.

feel like an ass.

Thanks and I will be donating once I get this situated:)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bender1077:
OK!

Have you made a NANDROID BACKUP before the new errors???

I HOPE YES!

Once in the bootloader select recovery(I believe you said you are using CLKWK):

(USE VOLUME UP DOWN TO SELECT and POWER BUTTON TO EXECUTE)

Once recovery loads select BACKUP/RESTORE

Then select NAND RESTORE

Then you should see HTxxxxxxxx - that is your device - select by hitting POWER

Then select your latest NANDROID - should be BDSxxxxxxx - select by hitting power

then press power again to confirm the selection and let it do it's thing!

Once done, hit me up again and let me know where your EVO is at, ROM info ETC... and let me know what you are wanting to acheive.

THANKS!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnkim575:
hey, bender is there any way I can contact you? I really am stumped.

I see some "images" and I select it and i still get to htc evo 4g screen but no sprint logo.

thanks

Unfortunately I am at work right now, and should be working!

Were you able to boot into RECOVERY???
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnkim575:
Thanks Bender!

That did the trick! I will me donating asap:)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bender1077:
DONT DONATE TO ME!!!

DONATE TO ONE OF THE DEVS WHO ACTUALLY DO THE WORK AROUND HERE!!!

The next ROM you download, toss the developer some beer money and we'll call it even!

Glad it all worked out!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnkim575:
Thanks Bender

Hey Bender,

Thanks a bunch. I learned a crap load while trying to do the newest update and really appreciate you giving me pointers because without them, I would still be screwed.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Kilroy672:
The rock band Rush now has app for Android. Not sure if its for Version, Sprint, T-mobile or not. I looked that up this morning on my HD2, and found nothing. Does anyone know what carrier this is for and the chances of getting a apk for that?
[Windows Mobile] 3|Saint|5:
I would like to know what would cause a distorted menu while trying to choose to have my email listed in order of when it was "Received" instead of "Conversation"? It use to work fine, but I have made changes to my kitchen and obviously I did something thats causing the menu to be distorted which is shown in the screenshot I provided. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
[Windows Mobile] NRGZ28:
That's probably because you messed with the reg entries in the Menu Enhancement package. Namely, the size settings to resize the menus. Take all those settings back to stock and your menu will look normal again.
[Windows Mobile] 3|Saint|5:
Thanks NRG. You were right. It was a Smaller Menu tweak I got from the Sense 2.5.2016 VGA Port thread.
[Windows Mobile] NRGZ28:
You have to get the correct settings that are (almost exactly) developed for the version of menu enhancement you're using, otherwise you get that problem. Cookiemonster has a couple of threads with smaller menu cabs floating around if you want to keep that mod..

[EVO 4G Accessories] rican408:
So the cardock magically appeared... its awesome BTW... I want my HTC hdmi dock. Anybody know something I don't?
[Desire Android Development] djR3Z:
I first want to thank everyone at UnrEVOked for what they've done. I'm posting this because the UnrEVOked post doesn't really give any instructions. Its an easy enough root, but I know I've been there before and even the simplest things can be tough if things aren't laid out. So here's a step by step tutorial.

Due to some bugs, Unrevoked 3.2 was taken down shortly after being released, but the updated version is now LIVE! So obviously we're going to bring you a video tutorial on how to do it! Thanks to the guys at Unrevoked for giving us this simple solution to rooting the GSM & CDMA Desire.

LINK TO VIDEO WALKTHROUGH FOR HOW TO ROOT THE DESIRE

◄●REQUIRED DOWNLOADS●►

EVERYONE: Unrevoked3. Download the version for your OS.

WINDOWS USERS: unrEVOked modified USB driver

◄●How to Install HBOOT Drivers (Windows Users ONLY)●►

If you're using Windows, you're going to have to install the HBOOT drivers first. You can follow this video tutorial:

How to Install HBOOT Drivers

and follow along with these written instructions provided by the Unrevoked team:

Download the unrEVOked modified USB driver and expand it somewhere you will remember.

Turn off your phone, then boot it into the HBOOT menu by holding power and volume down.

On your phone, you will have to select HBOOT USB at that menu by pressing volume down four times, then power. Wait until the screen flashes through an “SD Checking” message before pressing buttons; otherwise, the phone will ignore keypresses.

Connect the phone to your Windows machine with a USB cable and wait for the phone to say HBOOT USB PLUG on screen.

Open Device Manager.

Click Start, then right click on Computer, then click Properties, then click Device Manager.

Under Other devices, you should now see the Android 1.0 device.

Right click on Android 1.0 and click Update Driver Software:

Click on Browse my computer for driver software.

Click on Browse and select the Android USB Driver folder on on your computer, click ok, then click next.

You should get a status bar indicating that the driver is installing. If you get any warnings, just click Ok.

Your driver should install.

Click Close and make sure Android Bootloader Interface is listed under Android Phone.

◄●Instructions●►

Make sure you downloaded Unrevoked3 for your OS.

If you're on Windows, make sure you "uninstall HTC Sync or any other program that might talk to the phone over USB (doubletwist, etc). They will cause problems" (Unrevoked.com).

Plug your phone into your computer with USB.

Drag down from the notification bar on your phone and select "Charge Only" and "Remember this"

Make sure your phone has USB Debugging turned on by going to Menu>>Settings>>Applications>>Development and checking USB debugging.

Run the Reflash application that you downloaded.

Unrevoked will run its processes. Follow the few instructions it gives and thats it!

You're now rooted!
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
By God you guys are awesome. I was following the XDA rooting tutorials talking about downgrading hboot and goldcards before coming across this. So, thanks to your collective awesomeness, I can run this tonight and be on my merry way. First, I take it I can't backup my current stock 2.2 ROM before I have rooted it with a custom recovery image that gives me Nandroid backup capability? I'm a backup fanatic, and annoying cautious, so any tips here on before, during and after would be welcome. Or can I just go ahead, and if there are problems, I can easily restore my phone to factory state? And some links to information about the next step of installing ROMs would be welcome too, I have no idea where to turn after rooting my phone.

PS - I will donate $5 to you and the awesome Unrevoked crew, it's not much but I hope it helps and that my encouragement of others to do the same will help too.

Hi,

Can I root the Desire equipped with SLCD, Froyo 2.2 & HBOOT 0.93.

I'm sorry if this question is redundant

D
[Desire Android Development] djR3Z:
Really appreciate the feedback bro :) This shouldn't affect any of your data. I can't say go forward and guarantee you that nothing will happen (there's always the chance that something goes wrong) but you shouldn't have a problem. If you're extremely nervous though, you could use appbrain to backup the apps you use(though it won't backup your data) and export your contacts to your sdcard if you aren't saving them to google. You could also buy MyBackup Pro which backs up a lot.

Click the image in my sig for The Droid Demos. There are a few tutorials you can check out for after you've rooted. More will be coming every week :)

Feel free to ask any questions man. Good luck!

You shouldn't have any troubles.

[Desire Android Development] retr0sic:
No you're not doing it wrong ^^ I got the same "issue" before i noticed that it activated HBOOT USB PLUG just by inserting the usb cable when in bootloader . After that i just installed the unrevoked usb driver , started my phone and ran unrevoked and it did magic on my phone rooting it in just a minute.

Hope this helps.

I've tried restarting unrevoked but with no success? (i'm running XP)
[Desire Android Development] Peelypeel:
Can anyone confirm?

Will this work on HBOOT 0.93.0001 and radio 5.09.05.20_2

?

thanks

EDIT: confirmed myself, it works flawlessly. And I loved the portal reference during the rooting process, made me feel like a king.
[Desire Android Development] djR3Z:
For those having trouble connecting, try installing HTC Sync and then uninstalling it. There are drivers associated with it that are usually needed.
[Desire Android Development] pjthys:
Same with me.

Can install the driver fine under WinXP (SP3).

In HBoot mode, there is an Android Bootloader Interface under Android Phone.

However when I reboot the Phone Windows XP finds a new device, the abovementioned ADB device and tries to install drivers for it. The drivers cannot be found, even manually browsing to the Android USB Driver folder does not help. I end up with the yellow acclamation mark, and the reflash utility waiting for the phone to be connected.

HBoot 0.93

Android 2.2

Software version desire 2.10.405.2

@djR3Z

Thx, that was the solution. Installed HTC-sync. First 4 packages were installed (drivers and stuff) Aborted when the actual HTC-sync.msi started installing. Now unrEVOked works like a charm :)

[Desire Android Development] TrueTenacity:
Hi there, I am having problems rooting my phone.

HBOOT: 0.93.0001

S/W: 2.29.405.2

unrEVOked runs, it pushes the update to the phone, the phone reboots into the HBOOT, then it runs a bit, then it reboots again and then unrEVOked sits on "Waiting for root... (safe to restart if this doesn't work)" and nothing happens...

I have restarted it a few times and it gets to the same point and just sits there...
[Desire Android Development] amitabhishek:
I am struck up here (screenshot).

USB drivers etc are all installed. Unrevoked also pushes the clockwork recovery mod and bam! it gets struck at this screen. I am on 2.2 with HBOOT 0.93. I see only questions here & no answers:o!
[Desire Android Development] mister_r:
Hey guys,

I have done this once before and it worked just fine but this time I seem to be running into a problem. I installed the HBOOT drivers, but unrevoked now just says 'waiting for the device' etc. while windows requests i install drivers for ADB. This is on Win7 x64.

How do I get the ADB drivers? I figured from the Android SDK, but I am not sure whether those are correct, considering I am supposed to be using modified drivers for unrevoked?

Any help is much appreciated :)

Can't mount SDCARD

Hello,

I just bought an HTC Desire, branded on Orange (France), and I'm having troubles restoring a stock HTC ROM. I guess the phone was rooted, as I can get into Clockworkmod Recovery v2.5.0.7.

The phone is running 2.2 Froyo (itanium ?) which I guess is a custom ROM.

I wasn't able to re-root the phone using Unrevoked (stuck after reboot).

And something I find very strange, I "can't mount SDCARD" in Recovery, or in phone mode.

No way to update from SDCARD...

Is anybody able to help me sort this out ? What's the good way to update to nude HTC ROM in my case ? Is this SDCARD problem normal ?

Regards,
[Desire Android Development] geccco:
I'm having the exact same problem. Installed HBOOT-drivers without any problems and now when I run the evo program it just sits there displaying "waiting for device". I have tried it on two different computers both with win 7 x64 and x86.

EDIT: Just realized I was a bit too fast on the trigger when i deleted HTC sync and I cleaned out the HTC Driver installer too. Installed it again and the phone was recognized and the root was completed without a hitch!

hi, today i tried to root my device and all the "rooting" procedure went fine. now i have just rebooted my phone and i discovered the old stock bootloader. what is gone wrong? :confused: before the root i had the stock froyo rom. there is an incompatibility? :confused:
[Desire Android Development] germaansboefje:
same problem here ;)

Ok, it worked. This is what i did:

1: install HTC Sync

2: re-install HTC Sync (only HTC Sync in software)

3: Hboot....just ignore step 3: 3.On your phone, you will have to select HBOOT USB at that menu by pressing volume down four times, then power. Wait until the screen flashes through an “SD Checking” message before pressing buttons; otherwise, the phone will ignore keypresses.

4: make sure to unzip Reflash_pack.

5: Go ;)

Don't know which one is the key to a successfull Root....But it worked ;)
[Desire Android Development] lafonjef:
Ok, so I don't know if this is the right place to ask this, but I don't know exactly where else to go with this. I have rooted and romed my phone using the unrEVOked method, and I am running Cyanogen Mod 6.1.0 CR2 on my CDMA desire. now that I have all of this done I am trying to get s-off. I was told that if I just re-run unrEVOked with the security check left on, (i was told to uncheck it the first time I did this) that it would S-off my phone, but when it gets to the installing the update i get the lines:

unrEVOked forever S-OFF patch v1.1

Verifying system type...

E:unsupported radio version

E:Update failed. Check /sdcard/soff.log.

E:Error in /data/local/unrevoked-forever.zip

(status 42)

Installation aborted.

I have reported the issue using ROM Manager, but I haven't gotten anything back from them yet, and I was wondering if there was anything I can do to get this done.

Thanks in advance

only partially rooted, not a full root.

Guys -

i walked a coworker thru rooting his desire today and it is only partially rooted.

he can not write to the nand.

he has S-OFF and Clockwork (god i hate clockwork) is installed and working.

but if he tries to delete anything from the actual phone folders, like /system/app or if he tries to actually flash a rom. it tells him he cant.

when he flashes i dont recall the error but it basically says he cant write to the phone.

basically he is not NAND unlocked from what i can tell.

whats going on. the unrevoked program said it completed ok without any errors that i saw, but why the hell wont the phone flash anything or write/delete to the actual phone?
[Desire Android Development] kinnolkf:
So anyone has solved the "waiting for device...." in window problem. I can i confirm i did not install any HTC sync or and program that can communicate with my phone thru usb.

[Desire Android Development] SirHades:
Thank you for this guide, 2 Desires already rooted (One SLCD and one Oled)

There's two things I had some issues with..

-First, the HTC Desire Drivers. You have to install the whole HTC Sync package, then remove HTC sync again to have the drivers.

-And Step3 is unnecessary to install the modified USB Drivers with the Desire.

In order, that gives me (After Downloading the modified Drivers for Windows, off course)

Turn off your phone, then boot it into the HBOOT menu by holding power and volume down.

Connect the phone to your Windows machine with a USB cable and wait for the phone to say HBOOT USB PLUG on screen.

Open Device Manager.

Click Start, then right click on Computer, then click Properties, then click Device Manager.

Under Other devices, you should now see the Android 1.0 device.

Right click on Android 1.0 and click Update Driver Software:

Click on Browse my computer for driver software.

Click on Browse and select the Android USB Driver folder on on your computer, click ok, then click next.

You should get a status bar indicating that the driver is installing. If you get any warnings, just click Ok.

Your driver should install.

Click Close and make sure Android Bootloader Interface is listed under Android Phone.

Download and Install latest HTC Sync

From the control panel, remove program HTC Sync (Leave "HTC BMP Driver" and HTC Driver Installer)

Plug your Desire and select Charge only. Let Windows install the drivers if it has to.

Then I was ready to apply unrEVOked..

Sorry if this is redundant. But I had to explain to a friend how to do this by phone. With these extra steps he got it right the first time.

Again, thank you for this guide! :)
