Guest Liney_2000 Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 glad to hear it worked :D for a2sd use rom manager to format your sd saves you from using your computer to partition it (it wouldnt be a problem if u ran linux and gparted but with windows i trust rom manager more :)) @wolvie77 which did you download the <0.8 one or <0.75 one Hi itachi46, I used ROM manager as you suggested and R3.1 went on fine. Basically your advise was 100% and you saved me!!! I now have a desire which is not limited in apps space and all that Telstra rubbish is GONE and I won't have to wait a year to see Froyo! I could not seem to partition my 32GB card, but I can live with the 8GB for now. My only thing now is that Google Earth has gone and I can't get it back, not sure why this is and I used that app quite a bit. Owe you a beer, cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appears Earth won't run with that ROM, tried downloading the APK and installing it using Astro, to no avail. Naturally, it does not appear on the Market either. Does ANYONE know a work around, I have been searching everywhere without luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cyb3rt Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Desire Root Step 1 Erasing cache and rebooting in RUU mode... erasing 'cache'... FAILED (status read failed (Too many links)) ... FAILED (status read failed (Unknown error)) About to start flash... < waiting for device > sending 'zip' (138708 KB)... FAILED (status read failed (Too many links)) sending 'zip' (138708 KB)...

I want to try the new r6 root process, but I really don't want to go through all the backing up and restoring just to get this error again...

Guest omaro Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 (edited) Thanks a bunch for this root! I made a GoldCard out of my only memstick, can i use it as a normal memorycard or do I have to format it in order to use it as before. If I have to format it can I still load custom roms onto my Desire? EDIT: How do i kow that the rooting prosess and loading of custom ROM went well? Been searching around a bit, and in CMD i write cd\ -> cd\AndroidSDK\tools\ -> adb shell, and get "#" and i write su and i get "#" but i get no notification on my Desire tho. I have a custom rom installed, from Modaco and can run drocap2 and market enabler is working fine. Thanks in advance.

Guest RevoWution Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 just a question: do i need to make the memory card to goldCard, or not? i dont have a carrier. i bought it from hongkong... You most probably won't need a GoldCard. My Desire's unbranded from Clove in the UK, and I successfully rooted it last night :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RevoWution Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Ever since I rooted my Desire last night (successful on the first go! Thanks, Paul!), the phone's been nagging me to update to the latest software version. I had v1.21 before the root, and it seems like the rooted ROM supplied in this thread is only v1.15, so I'm guessing this is why my phone's reminding me to update? My question is, is it safe to update to v1.21? I've read in some other forums that updating a rooted Desire messes with the WiFi? Can anybody confirm this please? Also, how do I get Apps2SD installed? I've tried partitioning with ClockWorkMod and tried flashing it via "Recovery" in HBOOT, but I keep getting an error. I have BootLoader 0.8. Thanks! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! :) I used this this ROM, which is 1.21 I believe and WiFi works fine for me. App2SD- the functionality is already enabled in the above ROM above, but you have to also 'set up' your SD card. I found using Gpart Live CD the easiest method of doing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Renz33 Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 help guys....URGENT, i cant access my mobile data network anymore after rooting my desire,i doesnt help even if i flash it to 2.2 defrost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest whyleya Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Quick question. I debranded my Desire about a month ago now. Will I need a gold card again to apply this update and what happens when Froyo is officially released? Will it just update OTA or will I have to wipe my phone again. I'm just slightly confused what is the best route to take for my phone? Could someone kindly explain? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did it first by holding the volume down key and it appeared to start the process then I got your error. I re-read it and tried holding the back button (as the instructions said, silly me) and this time it worked perfectly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest radshag Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Hello, I have just used the reflash tool from revoked.com I can't get the nandroid backup to work from the recovery menu to work and it fails after creating the boot.img and recovery.img. How can I find and run the nandroid-mobile.sh command like I used to do before using reflash? Thanks for the help, Radshag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
