Hi Paul,

in my case step 2 say's "no device found" what can this be?

Are u using windows?

Cause I had the same problem. Then I edited the script as described a couple of posts above this, and I ran the file through an elevated command prompt.

This means opening the cmd "as administrator" Hope this helps

what is the difference between r4 and r5?

When you disconnect your device while in recovery, it will still stay in recovery

This happened to me. I just pulled usb cable from PC for 10 seconds then plugged in again. All was good after.

I think it is safer to boot phone to recovery THEN connect to pc. Wait about 20 seconds then run the recovery-*. bat file.

when im using Modaco R3 now with 1.21, should i now choose the second zip when i wanna try another rom?

i had 0.75 and 1.15 before i rooted my phone

Nooooo! Make sure you use the images for HBOOT 0.75 - Do not use the 0.80 ones! Disregard the bit about 1.15 etc. Your HBOOT will still be 0.75, and it's not something you want to update :-)

My hboot version was 0.75, by mistake I applied the 2nd option and now its 0.80. But every thing seems to be working just fine. I have completed the rooting and the custom ROM.

Will that be a problem ? I shouldn't have done it ? and if there a way to revert back to hboot 0.75 ?

There is a solution to this earlier on in this thread. If you run the steps from the batch file it should work ok.

I can't remember what page the solution is on, but its definitely in this thread somewhere.

Are you running Vista or Seven x64 ? I had this issue, then I retry with Seven 32 bits, and it worked flawlessly.

Hi,

I'm thinking about root my Desire but ..

I've reed the 25 first pages of the topic, sorry if the answer is after (and sorry for my english ^^).

Is there an easy way to put the mobile at the default factory rom, for send it in waranty ?

In the first pages, there was some "Paul is working on it", but it was a month ago, is that possible now ?

I've already rooted android phones, and it don't scare me but I'm thinking about changing phone in next month, and I need a factory rom for send it back/sell it =).

Thank you :rolleyes:

C:\r5-desire-root>step2-windows.bat

Desire Root Step 2


Pushing required files to device...


error: protocol fault (no status)

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

* daemon started successfully *

- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -


Pushing update file to device sdcard - this may take a few minutes...


- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -

2380 KB/s (126444599 bytes in 51.868s)

Mh, I've booted on my gentoo for root my phone, but I have problems.

First, I have a non operator phone, just brought on the net, so I can begin at the step 2, right ?

I'm trying to, but I have the "error : no device found".

When I do an "adb shell" on the turned on phone, it work just fine.

When I boot it in recovery mode as mentioned, and do an "adb shell", no device found.

"adb devices" just show me an empty list, and the phone screen show me the triangle with a "!" red.

Those who had this problems before just reinstalled HTC sync, but, I'm on Linux, there's no HTC Sync, right ?

dmesg show me that, when I plug the phone (in recovery mode), it detect and create /dev/sdd , no partition, and mount can't mount it.
