Sorry to spoil, but a little question here. I have 2.51.1 out of the box. Can I even apply the 2.34 JIT to my phone? Thanks for an advice. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denno020:
Hey,

I'm just wondering if there is a way to test if my phone is rooted or not? When I had Eclair on there, I did a lag fix, and rooted it. Later down the track I flashed a Froyo ROM onto my phone, didn't like that, so flashed back to stock Eclair. Tried another Froyo ROM, didn't like that either, so went back to stock Eclair again. I have recently flashed the stock Froyo rom that is on samfirmware.com, and I want to root it.

Under Kernel Version in About Phone, it says:

2.6.32.9

root@SE-S604 #7

Does this mean my phone is already rooted? I don't have the superuser app, nor do I have the root explorer app, so I am very confused as to the state of my phone at the moment..

Can someone please help?

P.S. The reason I want to root is I want it done before I apply [KERNEL] SpeedMod Froyo 339MB RAM XXJPX-Compatible, and I thought it would be best to have the phone rooted first...

Thanks

Denno

U could try terminal and just tipp su or try root explorer

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denno020:
where can I get the free root explorer? The one in the market is like 3 bucks...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbohm:
Good question i found it extremely helpfull so 3 bucks was ok for me.try terminal or perhaps u can find it out with androzip but i dunno how
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rafi92:
You can try the app found in the market called z4root. It is able to check your phone whether it has root, and if your phone has not been rooted, you can apply root from that app too.

Cheers :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denno020:
Thanks mate. I searched the market but couldn't find it? there is no results for z4root?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbohm:
Z4root isn't in the market anymore i think search it on this forum
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] momeesick:
If your phone is rooted you should have a app called SuperUser
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denno020:
Just found z4root in the forums, and put it on the phone.

I just opened it and pressed Permanent Root..

I know about having the superuser app, but my kernel version said root in it, so I was confused..

My phone has just restarted, and i now have the Superuser app, so I'm guessing that it's worked. Again, I don't know how to test it, but I think I can now safely a.... well as I was writting this, something popped up asking for super user rights, so I'm very confident that my phone is now rooted.

Thanks for the help all! :)

[HD2 General] tombm:
Hey guys,

Sorry to be a burden but I'm having a few issues with my hd2, and being a noob I didn't really know where to turn except this forum.

Basically my dad bought the hd2 from the UAE early this year and it all worked fine on stock settings for about 6 months. In the last few months, however, the phone started to lock up, and it got to the point where it wouldn't even boot properly.

In an effort to fix the problem I went with a hard factory restore, however, this seems to have caused more problems as now the phone is stuck in the bootloader.

I've been searching for hours, and have come to the conclusion that I need to update the flash? and then possibly install a new rom on the phone?

My major issue in doing this though, is that I can't seem to connect to activesync while the phone is in the bootloader.

Please help me sort this out.
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
First of all lets make sure that your trying perform the hard reset correctly.......

You need to hold down both volume buttons whilst the phone is turned off..... Then tap the power button and keep the buttons held down.......

Release them when you see the confirmation screen.........

Powering on while holding only the vol down button will take you to bootloader....

If you need to reflash the device then have a read of this thread here....

If its a "Tmous" HD2 (green and red call/hangup buttons) then you need to read this one

When connecting to the pc in bootloader you should see the word "serial" at the bottom of the screen change to "USB".......

Might be worth checking the text on you bootloader screen for any irregular looking characters, there have a few cases of people with corrupt bootloaders, usually these will display odd looking characters at the top. This is quite rare though.

If you want to flash another stock rom then you wont need to worry about HSPL just download the appropriate ROM and follow the instructions on screen.

Start off at the HTC site and input your serial number to see which ROM is suitable for your device.....

If none of that helps then hold out for some advice here from someone with better knowledge of these things.....
[HD2 General] tombm:
Ok well I've just tried to do the hard reset in the way you've described and had no response from the phone. I had to remove the battery from the back to actually power down the thing as nothing else seemed to work. I can't actually seem to start it up again now =S

Thanks for all the info, I'll keep trying to get it started. I'm downloading the stock rom from the htc site. Hopefully I will find a way to install that.

Also, when the bootloader was up, there weren't any odd characters that I could see. It all seemed pretty standard. It had the current rom driver which was 1.42 or something and a few other lines of info.

Thanks for the post. :)

edit: perhaps the battery is dead?
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
No problem.

Is it charging when plugged in and turned off?

If so let it charge while turned off for a while and then try to boot........

If you cant get to bootloader and establish a USB connection then you could try flashing the ROM from the SD card.

rename the rom to "LEOIMG.nbh" place it on the root of a freshly formatted (fat32) sd card and turn on the phone holding vol down..
[HD2 General] tombm:
To be honest I have no idea if it is charging whilst turned off =S All I get is the bootloader when it decided to turn on and that gives no indication of power level so I really have no idea. It makes updating a rom pretty scary haha.

So I just attempted to install the default rom from teh htc site, but failed due to the lack of activesync. It was strange though because the updater managed to change the screen on the phone and get to 1%. It then crashed and I had to go through this recovery process.

I will have to try this SD card process I guess. Could you perhaps link me to a more in depth guide to how to do this?

Thanks a lot for your help I really appreciate it.
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
you should get a red light up near the earpiece to indicate that its charging........

try this video for flashing from sd card......
[HD2 General] tombm:
I am not getting a red light flashing? But it doesn't seem to be running out of charge. I'm still having lots of trouble :(

It would seem that I need to install this hspl before I do anything, however, I can't install that if I can only access the bootloader screen. Does this mean my phone is bricked?

I want to be able to set up a rom straight from SD, however, I have no idea where to start. That video just seems to send me in a big loop.

Perhaps you could link me to a simple rom that I can attempt to load via sd card?

edit:

I seem to have somehow fluked an install of HSPL 8G XE.

I have no idea how this happened or whether it is good or bad.. but at least something has happened.
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
Hmmm :confused:

installing hspl is covered here

as long as the word "serial" is changing to "USB" on the bootloader screen when you connect to the computer you should be ok.......

You dont need HSPL to flash via sd card but I think that video was directed more towards people installing cooked ROMS from XDA.

Installing a stock rom will automatically overwrite HSPL so unless your planning to flash a custom ROM then installing HSPL is pointless........

You might be better off installing a cooked rom. (Artemis, Dutty's)

They tend to run better than stock, if you get one running then it will be easier to get back to a stock rom (if you want to) than the situation your in now.....

This is from the flashing guide;

Flashing Via MicroSD Card

NOTE (PLEASE READ): If you flash a Stock Rom via microSD Card then it will overwrite your HardSPL with a stock SPL included in the nbh file. This does not apply to custom roms as they do not include an SPL. BE CAREFUL!!

1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 (you dont have to delete all files but it is safer if you do)

2. Download your prefered Rom from the LEO Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your PC

3. Goto the Roms Folder and rename the .nbh file to LEOIMG.nbh

4. Copy the LEOIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card

5. Plug the MicroSD Card into the phone

6. Reset the device while pressing the volume down button to enter the BootLoader screen, you will first see a tri-color screen with the phone and SPL Information at the top

7. Follow the On Screen instructions to start the update

8. After flash has completed, press the reset button with the stylus to reset the device.
[HD2 General] tombm:
Reckon you could link me to one of those roms? I think we're getting pretty close now. :D

Your help has been great I can't thank you enough.
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
Your welcome :D

You can find Dutty's ROM here

or the Artemis ROM here

Have a quick read and see which one you think you'll prefer, to be honest I think they're both pretty similar to stock but with a lot of the crap taken out....

Just follow the steps in the first link I posted and you should be good to go.
[HD2 General] tombm:
Ok new problems.. Can you believe it.

I seem to have tried everything.

Basically I can install of a sd card, but when it gets to the end of the install and I restart instead of booting into a OS it boots to the tri colour screen, and starts the install process again.

Also, I have attempted to install via usb and have had varying success.

As I have already said, I am able to install hspl, however, when I try to flash I get to varying percentages below 30% before the whole thing freezes.

I now have an error that says Upgrade Rom code error Please Try Again.
[HD2 General] backlashsid:
Sorry i dont mean to hijack ! but will any of you be kind enough to help me here..

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=879980

thanks !
[HD2 General] tombm:
Ok so I followed the steps and still to no avail.

I am able to boot using the sd card method, however, the same problem occurs with each rom version. Basically as soon as I reset the device it pretty much switches itself off, then I can't turn it back on, once I finally do turn it on, it restarts the process like it never happened.

The other issue is again the active sync problem.

With most of the the usb connections I am able to connect and get a little way through the install (most I've got is 15%) then it just freezes up and I get the 262 error :(
[HD2 General] huggs:
Your best bet is to try flashing with a freshly formatted (FAT32) 4gb, class 2 card.

I know, sounds pretty specific right?

You wouldn't think it would matter?

I have tried flashing with 16 gb class 2, failed at the radio step

Tried with a 8 gb class 6, failed at the radio

4 gb, class 2, flashed successfully.

Seems our HD2's are picky about what cards they'll take a ROM from for some reason.
[HD2 General] tombm:
Alright I'll try that, my next issue is which is the stock rom for the phone =S

It was bought in the UAE and I'm currently in Australia.

edit: Also I read somewhere that the constant bootloader screen can be caused by a bent battery pin?

Edit2: I have attempted to do that, however, now the bootloader will accept the card, then just sit on loading...

I'm pretty sure this thing is bricked.
[HD2 General] huggs:
I've heard of bent battery pins being a pretty common problem, causing usually just the phone not to charge properly. I've personally never heard of it causing constant bootloader, but it's definitely worth checking.

It's weird that it's such a common problem, my usb/charging port is broken, so I have to use an external charger. I change my battery on average twice every 24 hrs, and I've never bent a pin:confused:
[HD2 General] tombm:
Ok, new info, apparently because the device is for the middle east it does not support stock 3.14 roms. What does this mean for me? Am I bricked.

That's the post I found the info in. All of that info matches up to mine except my original image was 3.142 I think =S
[HD2 General] fred_up:
Firstly, your phone is not bricked - a bricked phone is responsive as a brick.

Can we start from the begining?

What does the Bootloader Moder screen say (with and without the USB cable connected)?

What ROM (and if custom ROM, what RADIO) have you flashed and are trying to flash?
[HD2 General] tombm:
Alright from the beginning.

Basically about a month into using the phone in Australia it became very unresponsive to the point where it would not boot at all. We left the phone for a couple of months, however, after seeing a friend rom android I decided maybe it was time to attempt to fix this phone.

Some more info:

When I attempt to do any sort of ROM update there is nothing in the 'current image' part so for example it will say update to Dutty 3.6 but it's updating from nothing, does this mean there's no firmware there?

In the bootloader I have:

PB81100 HX-BC

SPL-2.08.0000 8G XE

MICROP(LED) 0X05

MICROP(TOUCH) 0X40

Without USB cable in I get Serial in the white part down the bottom, with the USB cable in + plugged into computer I get USB.

Just to further clarify. In regards to the ROM I have installed. I simply don't have anything installed. There is a bootloader, no image, no bootup. It boots up to the tri colour, that's it.
[HD2 General] fred_up:
For a moment we will forget about going to 3.14 ROM: I don't know if that phone is entitled to an official upgrade to 3.14, if it is locked to a particular network, if it is branded, etc. If it is not entitled to a 3.14 ROM upgrade then you will have to go through GoldCarding, so we will leave it for now.

Make sure that the battery has had a good couple of hours charge in the charger or double that if connected to the computer.

Remove SIM Card and SD Card.

Switch on to Bootloader Mode, then connect to USB.

Download and run HSPL2 - ignore the instruction about connecting to ActiveSync etc, just proceed.

Download and install the HTC 1.66 WWE ROM - again, ignore the instructions, just proceed.

The reason for HSPL is because your phone may be operator locked (not SIM locked) and you aren't entitled to run the 1.66 WWE ROM.
[HD2 General] tombm:
Ok, I am able to try that, but before I do just a few questions.

If I have already upgraded to hspl3 how will I be able to go backwards? Is that possible?

Also when I try to download that ROM off the htc site it says my serial code is not for that ROM. I have no idea what that means?

Thanks for the help though. I'll try what you've said anyway :)

edit: It doesn't seem to be installing hspl2 + which version should I be installing?
[HD2 General] venomhtchd2:
i see your problem Sir is stranger than i thought, in my friends case, his HTC stop booting and he brought it back imediately to the supplier and they replaced it for a month, but in your case, hard reset have no use, its clearly a hardware problem Sir, i know its impossible for you to go back to UAE for waranty but realy i have no idea. Maybe we can wait for a smarter sugestions fro our friends here.:(
[HD2 General] tombm:
It's very strange, reminds me of a catch 22 actually haha.

Basically the only way I can get the software working is to install some software, however, I can't install software unless I already have software installed!
[HD2 General] fred_up:
Form what you posted, you do not now have HSPL installed. installing HSPL3 is fine.

Just for safety reasons (don't know if you have 1024LEO or the 512LEO) I sujest you download and install

Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14

then select and install and Energy ROM - as these are safe for the 1024LEOs.

There shouldn't be a problem with the 1.66 WWE ROM, but I would rather be cautious.
[HD2 General] tombm:
I'm fairly sure it's not a 1024, as I was under the impression those ones had the red and green call buttons? My one does not have these.

Also I haven't heard anything about a radio before. I'll install that and see what happens :)

thanks for the replies :D:D ^^
[HD2 General] meptik:
Based on the information you posted about your bootloader screen, it shouldn't be a 1024 HD2. The model number shown in the bootloader screen was PB81100, right? T-Mobile US models are PB81120, if I'm not mistaken.

In any case, flashing a 1024 compatible radio is the safe option. You can't do any damage as far as I know by flashing a 1024 compatible radio to a 512 HD2, but flashing a non-1024 compatible radio to a 1024 HD2 can lead to some nasty brickage.
[HD2 General] tombm:
Alright new update.

I am no longer able to even flash from USB or sc card.

Basically the load screen for USB will remain on 0% and never get to 1% and with the SD card version the phone will simply display loading... indefinitely.

I'm at a loss as to how to fix this thing. It seems like every possible thing that can go wrong, is going wrong all at once with the phone.

Other queries I have are the battery? Perhaps it's bad?

Maybe the battery pins? What should they look like?
[HD2 General] tombm:
This picture is perhaps where the problem is?

Please ask for any more info, if you've got any suggestions go for it.

OK got the SD card working again, however, when I try and flash what I believe to be the best stock rom for my model I get a

RSA fail.

Any ideas?
[HD2 General] BigWilly11:
I have the same issue.

The phone will be connected (Activesync) and I can sync and access phone via explorer. When I try to update ROM, Radio or do a Task 29 the phone will reboot in to bootloader - multi color screen with the same text as in the quote, but it will not show USB. It goes directly in to the grey screen showing - Loading...

The same happens when I try to update the ROM from SD (Reset while holding down volume). I have tried the reset and holding up and down volume. That does re-install the current ROM.

I have installed several ROMs before - no problem. This started when I tried "Cotulla: HSPL3" (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=611433) last night (No idea why I did it!) and the stock (WWE) 3.14.405.2. Now I am stuck with a stock rom!!
[HD2 General] tombm:
haha at least you have a ROM! I don't have anything!
[HD2 General] fred_up:
HSPL and 3.14 ROM don't work nicely together. You have to go back to a previous ROM and flash that. This will set the SPL back from 3.03. Then if your phone is allowed to download the 3.14 ROM from HTC, then you can flash it. If you are not allowed to download the 3.14 ROM from HTC, then you can either leave as is, flash a custom ROM (with HSPL), flash the 3.14 ROM (after using the Gold Card method) or flash a custom ROM based on the 3.14 ROM (again follow the chef's insturctions).
[HD2 General] fred_up:
Did you get the HSPL3 to flash?
[HD2 General] BigWilly11:
Ok I have sorted it out!!!

1. Downloaded SSPL_RUU and uzipped. (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=606713)

2. Copied LEOIMG.nbh to same folder as SSPL_RUU.exe.

3. Renamed LEOIMG.nbh (Energy.Leo.29005.Sense2.5.Dec.13 downloaded from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=591784) to RUU_signed.nbh.

4. Connected with activesync and ran SSPL_RUU.exe.

Now have a working HD2 with a Energy ROM

Going to download latest Energy ROM and reflash.

Ok tried to flash radio and I still get the grey screen with Loading.....
[HD2 General] BigWilly11:
Do you mean a stock ROM?
[HD2 General] fred_up:
You cannot flash a RADIO with SSPL.

If you are running Energy ROM then your SPL is not 3.03, therefore you can run HSPL2 (512LEO) or HSPL3 (1024LEO), then flash your desired RADIO.

It helps if details of the phone are given, SPL, if it is a 1024 LEO, The existing ROM and RADIO, if the phone is branded (O2, Orange, Vodaphone, etc) and what you want to flash to the phone. This means that anybody trying to help can be specific, rather than having to give 3 or 4 versions of solutions because they are unsure of the status of the phone.
[HD2 General] fred_up:
Depends if the phone is branded or not.

If it is, then you need to download that brand's versionof the ROM (ie Vodafone 1.72). If it is not, then you can download the stock ROM (ie HTC 1.66WWE).

The whole point is to get the SPL away from the 3.03 version.
[HD2 General] tombm:
OK I've got some cool new info...

My phone is now booting into a screen which says "loading please wait"

with a picture of what looks like a bird ad the android logo behind it..

I have no idea how this has happened.. I can't get to the bootloader.

I have downloaded RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE-AFK_1.66.421.1_Radio_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Signed_LEO_Ship.

Going to flash and hope for the best!
[HD2 General] BigWilly11:
Ok because there seems to be a problem with the bootloader it will not run the flash
