How do you open up a new ADB shell?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sheek360:
as soon as i go into shell and then su i get this:

init_module 'wpthis-OTA.ko' failed (operation not permitted)

instead of this:

init_module 'wpthis-OTA.ko' failed (Function not implemented)

any help?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ThaGeNeCySt:
Did it all through my terminal emulator... S-OFF

Thank you all.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] isolated_epidemic:

did you install the OTA update?

A few people have asked if anyone has installed a rom yet but I didn't see any response.

I only want to root my phone if I can install Cyanogen on my G2. I had a rooted G1 with Cyanogen and I loved it. If I can't install a Cyanogen rom I will wait until one is available.

I appreciate any direction you guys can give. Good work dev's :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] 94dc2teggy:
Works great thanks on the hard work #G2ROOT
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :

nevermind. i rebooted 3 times and now i do have root. Thanks everyone.

Here is my issue - I had a pre-ota G2. did everything right with the correct pre-ota file. S-Off = completed. Ran visionary again and everything worked flawlessly.

Literally 2 minutes later I get the OTA update. S-Off is still there, however visionary still thinks the phone is rooted but I cannot su. Suggestions?

So, just for laughs I flashed the vision clockworkmod recovery that's been kicking around for a while, and it loads up just fine. Unfortunately, it doesn't see any partitions and nothing works other than navigating. =(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wilnotdie:
in dos, go to where you installed the SDK... cd into the 'tools' folder, then type

adb shell

this should take you into a prompt, as if you were on the phone inside terminal emulator.

ps.

You can do this all from the phone itself, using Terminal Emulator.

save all the files on your sdcard.

cp /sdcard/wpthis-pre-OTA.ko /data/local/wpthis-pre-OTA.ko

or if you have the OTA installed then

cp /sdcard/wpthis-OTA.ko /data/local/wpthis-OTA.ko

then pretty much follow the guide

all from within terminal emulator. Worked great for me just now. I have pre-OTA.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dthadamaja:

Has anyone flashed a custom recovery yet? Clockwork mod?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] iixiom:
So does this mean we can take the Desire Z rom and install it to the G2? Probably a noob question but this is exciting. I bought the G2 as a successor to my Nexus!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] joemm:
I installed files to /data/local. And when I go into terminal emulator and run #insmod/data/local/wpthis-OTA.ko I get "not found" returned? Is this right? Don't want to proceed if its not with the next command. And the files r there I use root explorer to put them there.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sheek360:
TIP!

ADB SHELL wasnt allowing me to proceed further, so for that lap of the race i decided to do it in terminal on the g2, works great!

hopes this helps
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] outkastz:
I don't think you read that right.... I've got visionary installed/updated (I actually uninstalled/reinstalled just for kicks) - Visionary says the device is rooted. However superuser and adb shell -> su all get a nice permission denied.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ThaGeNeCySt:
don't type that # symbol... that will already be there after you su
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sheek360:
dunno bout the root explorer method, but maybe if u redo the whole thing and push via adb...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Arcadia310:
How do you open up the terminal on the phone?

Once you open it up what do I do?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] djdant:

worked the first time for me

can't wait for kush to port the recovery

he already tweeted about it a few minutes ago should be some time today or tomorrow

should I try this on my mytouch 4g as well j/k I really want to but I think i'll wait

im sure the hboot is different but everything else will most likely work the same

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thatruth132:
for those that dont know how to use adb USE ROOT EXPLORER
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Jorsher:
So I'm guessing you've never used a CLI?

You have to download the app for it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] joemm:
Typed it just like I posted minus the # symbol
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wrxtc714:
you do not need to add a # you should already have typed su to get your root shell

do it just like this

insmod /data/local/wpthisxxx.ko

you need a space between insmod and the rest
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tienhn:
Need a space after insmod
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ThaGeNeCySt:
visit the app store and download Terminal Emulator (that's what i did)... run Visionary (if you haven't already) to gain root

open up terminal emulator... type su and hit enter to gain super user access... then proceed to follow those instructions

this is what I did to get those files needed to the right area:

I connected my phone to my computer, copied the files to my SD Card

then in the terminal app, after typing su and pressing enter, i put:

cp /sdcard/hboot-eng.img /data/local/

cp /sdcard/wpthis-OTA.ko /data/local/

then i proceeded to follow the instructions provided in the first post EXACTLY.

I have been looking for sites where I can buy the North American version of this phone unlocked. Any recommendations for trust worthy sites with good prices?

I prefer to get it unlocked rather than just off contract because of the problems G2 users have been having sim unlocking some of their phones.

Figured I would list the sources here for anyone else who is looking:

Bell (you need to sign up for a plan)

negrielectronics.com

sntradersonline.com

Best Buy Canada (need to pick up in store, but only $499)

If any more are posted I will update the OP.

Hi Anomaly,

check this thread for a lot of user-experiences with several online stores:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=799064

your pick of buying from Bell and then unlocking or some factory unlocked options
[G2 and Desire Z General] Anomaly:
Thanks for the replies. I am indeed looking for the NA version and I need the phone shipped to New York.

Bell won't let me order it from them without getting a plan sadly. :(

negri has it cheaper than SN Traders but it is still $100 more than a G2. We don't have any 3G in Barbados, where I live, but I was hoping to get a Desire Z since I am fairly confident that when we do, it will be on AT&T bands. I don't think that speculation + being able to make the phone brand free are worth the extra $100 though, unless I can find a price closer to Bell's I will just buy the G2.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jark99:
Try Best Buy or wireless wave, they sell the phones outright with a warranty plan
[G2 and Desire Z General] Anomaly:
Wow! Best Buy canada has it for $499.

Can only be picked up in store though.
[myTouch 4G General] HeavyComponent:
When I put my phone to charge for a while then unplug it on whatever percentage it's on it would stay on that percentage for an hour plus. After that it would drain 3-5 percent every 5 minutes or so. Why does it do that for every time I first take it off the charger?

At first it made me think my battery would last 2 days. Lol

myTouch4G (Glacier)
[myTouch 4G General] PolishDude:
mine does that too, when i take it off the charger, the fully charged message stayed on for over an hour, i thought wow...next time i looked at it 10 min later, it was at 80%
[myTouch 4G General] HeavyComponent:
Lol yeah! As soon it goes down that one percentage it starts going.

myTouch4G (Glacier)
[myTouch 4G General] mlockman:
Glad to see that I'm not the only one experiencing that. I've also tried turning everything sync related off to see if that helps, but so far no dice. Although, I could have overlooked a thing or two I guess.
[myTouch 4G General] s10shane:
i noticed the same thing here. idk why it does that
[myTouch 4G General] CyberStorm98:
Mine did the same thing the first day, so I checked the battery usage when I got home and saw that "android system" was using over 50% of the battery! I turned everything off, deleted widgets and the next day, same issue, "android system" using around half of my battery life. So Friday I did a factory reset, let it erase everything and start from scratch. Since then, my phone doesn't do that anymore.

I'm actually getting a little better battery life on this phone than I did on my N1. Check your battery use in the settings and see if yours is doing something similar. If Android System is over 10-15%, something is wrong.

The first 2 days I had to charge my phone twice to get through a day. Last night, with 2 hours of phone calls, some browsing, a couple hours of messaging, 30 mins of video chat, and random checking of time, weather, etc. My phone lasted about 17 hours before dying.
[myTouch 4G General] HeavyComponent:
The only thing that's using most of the battery is display. Display uses 74% and everything else is under 10%. Why is display using so much?

MYT4G (Glacier)
[myTouch 4G General] slowestcivic:
you have to remember that this is a percentage of what has been used, not 74% of the battery total. At least how I understand it.

My battery goes down pretty smooth but man this thing is horrible on the juices. With sync off and screen brightness to low all while making sure I am quick about using it the battery is in the red mid-day. Not happy with the battery at all, i realize it is a smartphone and all but with my N1 overclocked and everything on including GPS i had no battery problems. Other than that i love this phone

Hi,

I'm using CHT 2.0.0 on my HD2 but it eats lots of memory.

My only customisation is to have 4 or 5 rows on the sense homescreen instead of these 3 big icons....

Is there a cab that do that, or a registry tweak ?

Thanks for your answers.

PS: I have search, and search, and search, and the only answers were about Android Sense, sorry...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] conantroutman:
Heres a link to a cab for the 4x4 grid

Its for older versions of manila so it might not work perfectly........

try searching for "vovichek" or "jamrecords" i think it was them that first came up with that tweak......
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] woaloo:
Bad news

I have tried the 4X4 grid (Vovichek&Jamrecords_16Shortcuts.cab) with no success... result no more icons :-(

I've also tried the 5X5 grids (Vovichek_Jamrecords_20shcut_m2525.cab), same issue, all the icons are gone.

Hopefully, it come back to 3 icons when I remove the app...

But still no solution ?
[Desire General] eric_bean:
I have a Cellular South CDMA HTC Desire. I have had problems flashing roms to the device. The only rom that I have successfully flashed is Cyanogenmod 6.1.0 CR. The first time I installed it, it went into a boot loop at the Cyanogenmod boot screen. I fixed itself after a force reboot.

Now, I can not install any rom without the device getting stuck at the HTC boot screen. The only exception is Cyanogen but it does get stuck in a boot loop at the Cyanogen boot screen.

Each time I try to install a zip from SD, I do a factory reset and wipe the cache. The last time I tried to install a rom from flash, I wiped the dalvik in addition to the others.

If anyone have any ideas as to what I am doing wrong, I would appreciate your input. I am a newbie at this.

Thanks!
[Desire General] DilbertZG:
Hi,

Something similar happened to me recently. Fortunately, before flashing I made complete backup of my Desire. Nothing helped me but restoring from backup.

If you do not have a backup (it's always a good idea to make backup before playing with your phone), you can try the following:

- boot your device without SD card

- flash any ROM and boot wihout SD card

- try to flash with stock ROM

If nothing helps, i'm out of idea...
[Desire General] trialsrider1:
One thing I know is GSM ROMs will not work on CDMA Desire. Make sure its a CDMA ROM when you dowload, the cyanogen rom you linked is, there is a MIUI ROM that is CDMA also, very few out right now. If anyone knows of others it would be awesome to know of them.

Sorry guys but I need some serious help getting android to run on my htc hd2....

I have been trying to get android to run for the last 5 weeks+ but I have not even got close....

Tried mostly all android builds....

Tried every radio known to man in combinations with custom ROMs....."AND NOTHING"

SD CARD: SANDISK SDHC 4G CLASS 2...

Formatted the sd card with....SDFormatter V2.0 many times....

I follow all instructions from the professionals I.E the chefs....and also have been very patient with regards to letting android create its .img files sometimes leaving for hours at a time......

I have read copious amounts of threads relating to this issue, so I have not been lazy...... but all avenues circle back to the same conclusion "no android no work"....

The only thing that I possibly hindering me is my sd card, but some say that android runs smooth from these type of cards...so instead of going out and spending a fortune on a top of the range one I thought that I would post this thread first....

Is it something simple that I am missing........?

Please any help would be most appreciative......

the other thing you can do is get the android sdk, install adb, and watch the logcat, it shuld be obvious if it starts to loop, or copy the logcat and post it so someone can help you debug.

my guess, your card's corupted... try formating it to an ext4 file system, then back to fat32. or scan it on a linux box and see if it shows up corupted...

So why not pay a little money and get a low end SD card for testing? That would tell straight away if there's a problem with the card.

I use a 16GB Sandisk class 2 with no problems and also have a 16GB Kingston class 4 that runs fine.

Never had any problems, except SOD (and there's a fix for that), with these 2 cards.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] huggs:
The only other thing I could think of is that maybe it's the Windows rom that you're using. Haret Android actually makes use of bits and pieces of what winmo leaves behind in memory, and since you are running a rom with cht built in, it may be using the ram memory differently, storing different things in ram addresses that Android doesnt expect. I would back up your NRG CHT build (shouldnt be too bad using XDA_UC), and flash a stock rom or NRG's bare bones Android rom. If it doesn't work, at least it's one more thing you could cross off the list of likely suspects

Thanks for the suggestion huggs....

I flashed Energy.Leo.COM2.Barebones WM Build.For.Android as you suggested and have been getting some strange results??????

Firstly because that particular build auto boots into android once you switch on your device with an sd card inserted it does not detect either my Toshiba micro 8GB or my Sandisk 4GB SD"HC" cards and says "NO STORAGE CARD HAS BEEN DETECTED"... although saying that I can open file explorer on my device and read both storage cards.....but the auto boot does detect my Sandisk micro 2GB "SD" card and auto boots android but Linux stops at line "usb: product_id 0xff9" and hangs......

Either my hd2 does not like micro "SDHC" cards or it is knackered......
