Guest alexdroid Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 As has been said many times before in this thread, you need to burn the ISO and boot it up as in a Virtual Machine it causes problems. Thanks a lot for answering so fast, I try this right now and let you know. Thanks again and sorry for not having found this response in the topic...

Guest EernstJ Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 (edited) After a day playing i have some problems: I lost my normal screen with dig clock and wether. Also background was lost and could not connect to teh computer anymore, the USB logo in the top of the screen did not come up. I did the whole thing (rooting) again and all is well again. Anyone? I was hoping to use 'backup for root users' as i did in my Magic. The progran starts and let me make a choice what to backup. It is making a folder on SD card but... nothing there? So not realy root? Ore is there an other issue here? Also i miss FLAC music suport. My magic did the trick after rooting but my Desire is not... I am intrested to understand how to get it working or why it is not...?

Guest Deerhunter48 Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 Try re-burning the ISO maybe? YES - that was the problem. With a re-burned ISO it worked well - my Desire now is rooted and debranded! Thanx a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest afiorillo Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 (edited) Every time I run recovery-windows.bat I get a "device not found" error. Any ideas? More informations are needed in order to answer such a question. What operating system are you using? How the Desire il connected to the computer (which port, via HUB or directly, which cable, and so on)? Have you tried to manually issue some adb commands to your Desire?
