Guest afiorillo Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 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 ? Wrong. The only thing you'll not need is the goldcard (you can use any MicroSD); but step 1 is mandatory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ulrar Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 (edited) Ha, thank you, that's work better ! I've now have the "exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: Permission denied (13)" .. damn. EDIT : okay, solved with a "chmod -R 4755 files" Edited May 24, 2010 by Ulrar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aslsthlm Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 When I´m root the phone, should I take out the sim card, or does´t matter ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gandalfmuaddib Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 When I´m root the phone, should I take out the sim card, or does´t matter ? You can just leave it in. It doesn't matter. Just make sure to use a goldcard if you phone is branded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PandaKiller Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 I have a doubt about bootloader and ROM 1.15 / 1.21. My desire was root by rooting guide r1, so I have bootloader 0.75 and 1.15... ROM. What is the difference between 0.75 / 0.8 bootloader and 1.15 / 1.21 ROM ? Can I update to 1.21 only put the zip file no my SD? Without create a gold card again? I have A2SD work fine. If I update to 1.21 I need to format and recreate news partitions on my sd card? Worth update to 1.21? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth update to 1.21? Personally, if your r1 method is running fine, then there is no reason to update to .80/1.21 r5 method. I did mine originally with the r1 method, the only differences I have now are: -modified A2SD to create A2SD+ with Dalvik, and further modified to activate Swap on boot -Running richardtrips V11 ocuv kernel -Running the latest Radio ROM -Trimmed down the apps in the /system/app folder myself and removed Sense. -Ported NexusOne bootloader animation from FRF50 Froyo release (same as Eclair one in all sense of the matter) I can't see any reason myself to update it to 1.21. The only update I shall apply in the future will be Froyo when thats ready for general use (ie, its stable enough and works) Edited May 25, 2010 by PaulW21781 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest PaulW21781 Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 And about update kernel to your r1.1? I can update without clean data? You can flash the new kernel without wiping data yes :-) I've changed my kernel three times so far and never once had to do a wipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest smkilani Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Hi, I have managed to make the first step work and as instructed I removed the SD card and replaced by another but now I cant run step 2. It keeps on giving me device not found... I have also noticed that the bootloader is 0.80 now where it was 0.75 before. I assume that this means the first step was a success. Please I need your help urgently! Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rhath127 Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 hi guys, i just got my desire today and wanted to root it - I have had several attempts but no luck. my current Rom version is 1.16.841.1 with Hboot .75.

Please I need your help urgently! Thanks, If your bootloader has went from 0.75 to 0.80 while you were doing step 1, you have done something wrong, this may be why step 2 isn't working. You will now have to repeat the process using the 0.80 process I think. Does your software version show test-keys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just realized that I have used the 0.80 files by mistake... i have reflashed using the 0.75 files and I am able to get to the recovery mode and see that mobile with the red triangle...

I am still getting error: device not found message though when I run step 2. When you go to Settings, About Phone, Software Information, Build Number, does it say test-keys or release-keys? Are you using Windows? I got the same error on step 2, and I had to insert the device, go to Device Manager, find the entry for your phone (while in the screen with the Red Triangle), right click and delete it, remove the USB cable, re insert it and let windows install the drivers again. It worked for me anyway! Stu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu No, I have managed to downgrade it back to 0.75. As I said I have mistakenly used the 0.80 files. Nonetheless, I have tried to remove the drivers and still nothing is working. :S I dont know if this helps but windows is recognizing my htc desire as HTC Android Phone USB Device and it is under the Disk Drives category in the Device Manager.

How did you downgrade it back to 0.75, because as far as I know no one else has managed to do that. I think my device is seen as "My HTC" in device manager while in recovery mode.

Well, I assume that most people who tried to downgrade had originally 0.80 but I started with 0.75 and flashed it to 0.80 by mistake. Windows saw mine as My HTC once but not anymore...

If you could post what you did, it may be of some help to the Devs? Try removing it from windows, take out the USB cable and re-insert it. Let windows search and reinstall the drivers, it came up as My HTC on mine after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to make it sound as a great achievement but all that I have done is redo the steps using the 0.75 file supplied, as simple as that. I am more than happy to supply more information but I cant see any differences between what I've done and what was said in the tutorial. Anyway the whole driver plugging in-out business is not working for me :S i am so close to just giving up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
