r4 HTC Desire Easy Rooting Guide with Tiny Core Linux

[Guest pornostar]

How did you update? OTA?

No, that was offered, but did not work.

I used PB99IMG.zip (Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed) which I put on SD card and booted it with fastboot.

Have you tried it again? Is the disc corrupt?

The error halfway through in step1 is normal, as long as it continues as it did for you.

Do you remember the error in step2?

It looks like your phone booted into some sort of recovery by itself, don't know how to solve that...

Yeh it displays that error message but then says its trying again and completes successfully on Linux - But on windows method it will not continue.

After step1.sh completes on linux i take my gold card out and boot back up and try step2.sh and it fails saying no device is found it will not do anything.

I have managed 2 get my phone working again using the unroot process .. Still would rather have an 2.2 on there, Anybody got any ideas?

If you're back on Stock ROM without root and everything is working properly you could try step1 and step2 again.

Yea I might, really I want to find out watt the error means encase it happens again and could totally brick my phone and also my hboot has changed to 0.80 thanks to the t-mobile update so I can't unroot it again with the current uproot tools.

Flash a new rom using the recovery script that's part of the rooting guide.

Or flash your rom using the fake-flash method that was released today.

I got this working on my Telstra Desire, except now the GPS won't work. Apparently this is a common problem.

Does anyone know how to solve this?
