Guest Fruchtzwerg Posted April 27, 2010 Report Posted April 27, 2010 Where did you get this O2 phone, as O2-UK haven't released the Desire yet? I would imagine that the root method wouldn't be going through any official bootloader methods? I would be very interested to see if the root works on your phone? It is from O² Germany.
Guest Groundless Posted April 27, 2010 Report Posted April 27, 2010 Great News! Thanks for your work Paul!
Guest The-Nazgul Posted April 27, 2010 Report Posted April 27, 2010 Hmm I got an O2 Germany Desire as well, but had no time to put an official rom on it via goldcard. Are you sure about the bootloader? I believe its the same HTC rom/bootloader. O2 just added a shortcut and that stupid navigation program.
Guest QahtaniMan Posted April 27, 2010 Report Posted April 27, 2010 Please indulge a newbee... 1. Can someone point me to the procedure for the root AND, 2. Do you know if it's possible to do a ROM upgrade to HTC Desire so it will work on the AT&T 3G network in the US? I have the phone, with AT&T SIM card. Technical support in HTC told me it’s possible but they are not sure if HTC engineering is working on that ROM. Guidance please. 1. From Twitter @PaulOBrien Right, all being well, root coming for all Desire owners tomorrow! :-) (must eat now!) 2. AFAIK that's a hardware limitation. eg. phones that can connect to 3G networks in Canada won't be able to connect to 3G networks in Europe or the Middle East.
Guest trashjunkie Posted April 27, 2010 Report Posted April 27, 2010 Hi all, I've been signed up to this site since the very early days in 2003. Paul created this site around the same time I started my smarterphone.co.uk site, around the the time the SPV Smartphone was released. I was working for Orange at the time and knew Smartphones were going to be HUGE! My site started well enough, with downloadable custom themes and the like but it eventually crashed and burned. I have always kept an eye out here but never got round to posting before. Maybe its because I'm so jealous of all the good stuff he's done here lol. Well this is my first ever post and its to finally say to Paul Weldone Mate!!!! Cracking the desire is a job well done Ps... Im even from the same sodding City! Maybe I should have suggested collaboration back in the day haha pps... Norwich City FC Champions 2009 / 2010!
Guest Paul Posted April 27, 2010 Report Posted April 27, 2010 trashjunkie... MoDaCo Norwich meetup? :huh: P
Guest trashjunkie Posted April 27, 2010 Report Posted April 27, 2010 trashjunkie... MoDaCo Norwich meetup? :huh: P Sure! Lets make it happen.
Guest Honestly77 Posted April 27, 2010 Report Posted April 27, 2010 (edited) Hey Paul, you think this method is going to work on the HTC Incredible as well? Or is the hardware to different? Edited April 27, 2010 by Honestly77
Guest Paul Posted April 27, 2010 Report Posted April 27, 2010 It might do... I'll liaise with someone with an incredible tomorrow to try. P
Guest The-Nazgul Posted April 27, 2010 Report Posted April 27, 2010 @Fruchtzwerg You are right though. Just checked hboot. O2 Germany has got version 0.80 and T-Mobile seems to have 0.75.
Guest fubuman_05 Posted April 27, 2010 Report Posted April 27, 2010 @paul... do you thing the bootloader is signed... like the milestone? or you think it is easier the crack... root permisions is great but for custom roms we need a free boorloader... or I am wrong?
Guest maati Posted April 27, 2010 Report Posted April 27, 2010 Hey Paul! Just for clarification (I hope I didn't miss something, sorry if I did): Do you have full file system write acess or root permissions only?
Guest nekromantik Posted April 27, 2010 Report Posted April 27, 2010 Hey Paul! Just for clarification (I hope I didn't miss something, sorry if I did): Do you have full file system write acess or root permissions only? I think that screen shot means that he has full access :huh:
Guest simonp2 Posted April 28, 2010 Report Posted April 28, 2010 looking forward to this, so much so I bought a membership :huh:
Guest bcmobile Posted April 28, 2010 Report Posted April 28, 2010 Nice work Paul. *yawn* Another late night, I guess. Damn timezones :huh:
Guest wellsgz Posted April 28, 2010 Report Posted April 28, 2010 expecting the root kit to release :-)
Guest nemanracing Posted April 28, 2010 Report Posted April 28, 2010 It might do... I'll liaise with someone with an incredible tomorrow to try. P Keep up the great work Paul!!!! Subscribed. Will keep an eye on this as I'll get my HTC Incredible on 4/29...
Guest Kehaan Posted April 28, 2010 Report Posted April 28, 2010 Wow great job Paul! That was fast, had thought it would first come in a month of two.
Guest caponi Posted April 28, 2010 Report Posted April 28, 2010 Great job, thanks! :P I've just paid for a Adfree subscription to support this! :huh:
Guest sterallures Posted April 28, 2010 Report Posted April 28, 2010 I've just joined this forum a few days ago because I just bought my HTC Desire but this is just fantastic! I can almost immediately get root access! Congrats on your accomplishment Paul and I hope I can follow your instructions and get root access myself! Keep up this fantastic work!
Guest jasup Posted April 28, 2010 Report Posted April 28, 2010 I hope to have wifi tethering so much....
