Guest lanxton Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 I've got some problems... Thought I saw a few errors pop up on the phone just before it allowed me to select 'Bootloader' and 'Recovery' but then went fine... So I went and got a drink as per the advice... When I came back it said it had done it, so I reboted... It then seemed to be on a continous boot loop, after writing under the logo... I pulled it and did step 2 again, seemed to work, but again I got a flash of a error message on the phone just before it let me move the curser to Bootloader, again then seemed to work, but now it boots but it immediately says SD Card Removed and I have no service at all... Its now not recognised when I plug it into the PC so I cant try any sort of fix now... Havent got a clue what to do! HELP! Can you tell us a little more about your procedure. What OS are you using?

Guest lanxton Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 its a german o2 Desire, i think it isn´t an operator supplied device. A goldcard isn´t necessary. O2 requires a goldcard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is the difference.. the sleep statement was added for an extra timeout on Window 7 machines to allow the last process to finish before starting the next. I would also add an echo in there stating that the process is sleeping so that people dont cancel the process thinking that something is stuck. --- tst/step1-windows.bat 2010-05-04 02:31:33.000000000 +0200 +++ step1-windows.bat 2010-05-07 00:45:36.000000000 +0200 @@ -8,6 +8,7 @@ echo. echo About to start flash... fastboot-windows.exe flash zip testimage.zip +sleep 15 fastboot-windows.exe flash zip testimage.zip echo. echo Rebooting to bootloader...

Guest Kiwizz Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Paul - Would you advice against rooting a Desire from Softbank Japan? Would everything still work? The phone is connected on the W-CDMA network - I assume the generic rom is only for the European version? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lanxton Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 (edited) I was using windows r4.... Win95? As much detail as possible would help everyone. I think the fixed batch file above might help you if you have Windows 7. Edited May 6, 2010 by lanxton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Idea, i added some explanation about the first error and the delay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lanxton Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Good Idea, i added some explanation about the first error and the delay Instead of hardcoding wait statements in the batch files, you can also place calls in the main batch file to other batch files. This will force the main batch file wait for the call to finish before it proceeds without having to hardcode wait statements. Instead of the original code: ---snip--- echo About to start flash... fastboot-windows.exe flash zip testimage.zip sleep 15 fastboot-windows.exe flash zip testimage.zip echo. ---snip--- We could do something like this instead: ---snip--- echo About to start flash... flash.bat flash.bat echo. ---snip--- Where flash.bat is just a batch file with this one line: fastboot-windows.exe flash zip testimage.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WolfspiritM Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 (edited) No. The current Batch file is waiting too. But windows seems to take some time to remove the Usb device, even, when the command is finished. The next command is then working with the disconnected device instead of the reconnected one. A delay of 2 second might be enough but calling another batch isn't doing something else then the official step1 file is doing at the moment.

I see, so the problem is not entirely with the command finishing before the next one starts. It seems like it will still need a sleep statement. I always try my best not to hard code values if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gooner4_1998 Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 Hi Mananged to use WolfspiritM's amended instructions to get past the "FAILED (remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately) sending 'zip' (137446 KB)" issue. Thanks! However, I now can't get my computer to recognise the device for step 2! Below is the feedback I get from the command window: C:\HTCROOT>step2-windows.bat Desire Root Step 2 Pushing required files to device... * daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 * * daemon started successfully * push: files/etc/mtab -> /etc/mtab push: files/etc/fstab -> /etc/fstab push: files/sbin/wipe -> /sbin/wipe push: files/sbin/unyaffs -> /sbin/unyaffs push: files/sbin/ums_toggle -> /sbin/ums_toggle push: files/sbin/um -> /sbin/um push: files/sbin/tune2fs -> /sbin/tune2fs push: files/sbin/toolbox -> /sbin/toolbox push: files/sbin/sdparted -> /sbin/sdparted push: files/sbin/recovery -> /sbin/recovery protocol failure error: device not found Pushing update file to device sdcard - this may take a few minutes... error: device not found error: device not found Now wipe and apply rootedupdate.zip from the recovery image menu. error: device not found The desire is sitting devices and printers section on my computer so I cant understand why it cant be found.

Am using windows 7 64 bit. Its now a personal mission of mine to root this so any help would be really appreciated. Thanks!!! You wanna do this "out of principle" or just root your phone? If its just about rooting, really really really avoid the hassle and use linux. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gooner4_1998 Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 (edited) Problem is that I know nothing about Linux at all!!!! Wouldn't even know where to start i.e. how to get it on my machine, how to use it once its on.......... How easy is it and is there an idiots guide to booting linux on a windows machine? Is there a work around for the issue I am having with Windows 7?! Edited May 7, 2010 by Gooner4_1998 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DinoCro Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 Hi to everyone! I'm new at the forums so please excuse my n00biness. I found this great topic while searching for a way to root my HTC Desire. And now I have to ask someone for help. Following Paul's tutorial I managed to get it all right until the step where I need to "Wipe" everything in recovery screen. I succesfully wiped first two or three things and then I got stuck at wiping "ext" or something like that. It says "run wipe ext via adb". So, I tried to learn more about adb and run "wipe ext" from the command prompt. Didn't manage it, in the process my phone made a silly noise and went dead. Had to take the battery out and turn it on. It was fresh, clean and wiped install, but I guess not rooted. So I'll try to do it again. Anyone has any idea how to do or bypass "run wipe ext via adb" error? As I said, I am new to this stuff and I didn't manage to pull it off. I thank you in advance for all your help! Dino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Orgasmatrond Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 i think i managed to root but do i have to do the STEP 2 everytime i want to go in recovery? otherwise i have the red triangle thx Bump.

Guest Orgasmatrond Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 http://bit.ly/9hPMzr Thanks, but seeing that I have no empty cd's nor a usb stick, I'll just stick with "step2-windows.bat". Will that have any negative effects at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Orgasmatrond Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 why not use recovery-windows.bat? you want to enter recovery only no? That's right. But where do I type that? If in cmd, where should it be directed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fatwolf Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 I just applied the r4 scripts and guide on my HBOOT v 0.75 and OS build 1.16.xxx Ran ALMOST perfectly. The step2 script failed the 1st time however running it again right away worked the system didn't detect the mass storage device to copy the content onto. Other then that little hickup it was very clean and streamline. (YAY NO TELSTRA LOGO) I used a Debian X64 system to run the scripts. It asked for the sudo password so it might be worth highlighting that the script requires root. I am glad it was written to actually ask for sudo if it didn't have root. Thanks for the wonderful work on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got the same ROM on my Desire currently, and am a bit unsure as to which one to use. I have HBOOT 0.75, but OS 1.16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
