Guest craigcrawford1988 Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 (edited) I make usb flash bootable device my friend and no usb for connect my desire:P The commands are a bit further back. You need to find out what Linux has your device numbered as. Type these commands in terminal: cd /dev ls One of those will be your usb stick, so you must mount it like so: sudo mkdir /mnt/*** sudo mount /dev/*** /mnt/*** Replace *** as the USB device name. You can find out which one it is by going into each folder in /dev/ and seeing whats in there. OR even better is you could search for the folder "desire" like so: find / -type d -name desire Edited May 22, 2010 by craigcrawford1988 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dunbad Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 Thanks for this. Kinda confused if any of pauls work is in here also? His original guide was simply too confusing for a numpty like me. Somehow this one looks easier/better? That said if credit is owed to him then i'd like to thank him also. Ill let you know how I get on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Albertri Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 I'm new in Andriod scene been WM person most of the time just wanted to ask what's Goldcard means and why we need them? cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest z0nic Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 (edited) I just realised I said the wrong command. Try this instead: cd /dev/ ls -d ./* That should bring up the right directories. Right...so, turned out that both the USB stick's I was trying was f**ked up. Burned ISO on CD, and voilá. Mission accomplished. Now... will try to get A2SD working :rolleyes: Edited May 27, 2010 by z0nic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i root with this procédure, i lose all my sms, configuration and installed software? Thx There is an app called SMS Backup which is available in the market. This app backs up your SMS's to your Gmail account. If you use Appbrain (appbrain.com) to manage your apps, you can sync them all the time when you flash your phone. The only thing about appbrain, it'll only allow those apps that are available in the market to sync. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would recommend the 2nd one. I'm new in Andriod scene been WM person most of the time just wanted to ask what's Goldcard means and why we need them? cheers! For operator-locked devices. The goldcard allows you to flash non-operator ROMs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers craig in advance But he doesn't meet the requirements for the first one. His ROM is 1.16, the first one is only applicable to 1.15 and under.

Guest Rudolfje Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 Thanks for this guide. Had some trouble mounting the USB Drive I booted from, but it worked really well after all. I looked up 'dmesg' to find the usb device I was looking for and mounted it with: sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt/cdrom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
