Guest jedininja666 Posted June 3, 2010 Report Posted June 3, 2010 Hi guys, started a new topic as my posts in other threads are just getting ignored. I have used Paul's original r1 guide and got a rooted stock 1.15 firmware onto my HBOOT 0.75 device. I now want to put a rooted stock 1.21 firmware onto it, but KEEP my 0.75 HBOOT. How do I go about this? I DO NOT want to use the Modaco MCR modified ROM, I just want to use a rooted stock 1.21. Where is this and how can I make sure it doesn't upgrade my HBOOT?
Guest EddyOS Posted June 3, 2010 Report Posted June 3, 2010 There isn't one, only the stock 1.15 rooted ROMs or the 1.21 MCR ROMs
Guest jedininja666 Posted June 3, 2010 Report Posted June 3, 2010 There isn't one, only the stock 1.15 rooted ROMs or the 1.21 MCR ROMs Are you sure? What is the second download offered in this thread then: http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-desi...o-1-21-support/ If not, WHY is it not available then?
Guest EddyOS Posted June 3, 2010 Report Posted June 3, 2010 (edited) From that thread: "The root process will... * flash your device with a new, generic 1.15.405.4 based ROM that has Superuser access * show you how to enter the recovery image in future, allowing you to flash update zips" As to why, Paul hasn't done it yet. I did ask a while back if there was going to be one but got no answer... Edited June 3, 2010 by EddyOS

I did ask a while back if there was going to be one but got no answer... But it says "os support to 1.21". Can you confirm that the second download offered DOES NOT contain 1.21? Why is life so hard? I just want to get a non-modified rooted 1.21 on my device but protect my 0.75 HBOOT. This sucks!!!
Guest EddyOS Posted June 3, 2010 Report Posted June 3, 2010 No I can't confirm as I'm not using it but I believe only the 1.15 ROM is rooted so using the 2nd download would give you rooted 1.15 with HBOOT 0.80. I got bored of root acces, didn't need it so am running stock 1.21

I just want to get a non-modified rooted 1.21 on my device but protect my 0.75 HBOOT. This sucks!!! Yes I can confirm it. I upgraded to 1.21 yesterday and rooted, after root i have got 1.15 again
Guest jedininja666 Posted June 3, 2010 Report Posted June 3, 2010 Yes I can confirm it. I upgraded to 1.21 yesterday and rooted, after root i have got 1.15 again Okay fair enough. But can someone answer my question? How do I put a rooted 1.21 ROM on top of my 1.15 BUT keep / protect my bootloader? If I use the bare-bones MCR ROM, will it do this? Is there anything in the stock 1.21 that IS NOT in the MCR? What about Google Apps (especially Gmail)? Also does the FM Radio app really not work? Seems a bit odd...
Guest EddyOS Posted June 3, 2010 Report Posted June 3, 2010 (edited) You can't...best just using an MCRr3 ROM so you've got 1.21 but HBOOT 0.75. You can bake one the same as the stock ROM and remove the addons Edited June 3, 2010 by EddyOS

You can bake one the same as the stock ROM and remove the addons Hi EddyOS.....so are you saying if I do this I WILL NOT lose my HBOOT 0.75? Also can you confirm that the GMail app is included, as I wasn't entirely sure....the copy within the kitchen about including the Mail app seems to allude to GMail not being included. Also why does it say that the FM Radio isn't functional at this time? That can't be right, surely? HTC wouldn't sell a device containing an app when you buy it which didn't work... Say I used this ROM, how do I go about flashing it over the rooted 1.15 I already have?
Guest EddyOS Posted June 3, 2010 Report Posted June 3, 2010 (edited) I was using an MCRr3 ROM until going back to stock (don't care about HBOOT tbh) and GMail app was there as I don't use the HTC one - ever! Don't think GMail can be removed as it's part of Android (could be wrong) FM Radio, never used it as it's a phone not a radio!! I think cause of it being a custom ROM it's not working properly - don't ask why, I've no idea!! To flash, use the 'recovery-linux.sh' (or whatever you use) to get into recovery and flash from SD card - same as rooting it. Nice and easy :( Edited June 3, 2010 by EddyOS
Guest pmcguire Posted June 4, 2010 Report Posted June 4, 2010 Also why does it say that the FM Radio isn't functional at this time? That can't be right, surely? HTC wouldn't sell a device containing an app when you buy it which didn't work.. This is something that has confused me too, the radio does work in the rooted "default" 1.15 I have but doesn't function in the modaco roms. I don't know why this is the case.
