04/Aug 2.09.405.8 (Froyo) pre-rooted no hboot / with radio / deodex

[Guest Paul]

As i'm sure everyone knows, HTC pushed Froyo as an OTA with the version number 2.09.405.8.

This is good. Unfortunately they included a new hboot which prevents rooting. This is bad.

The solution to this is not to use the OTA, but to flash an image with the hboot removed instead and that's what we have here. Hope someone finds it useful - this will become the basis for my next MCR release. Someone else has probably already done similar repacks, but I like to do things for myself. :D

All images are completely stock with the exception of Superuser 2.2.2 being included together with busybox and a patched dbus.conf (required).

I think I´ll wait for the MoDaCo Costum rom and the ability to pick stuff in the Online Kitchen is there an estimate on the arrival of this Paul?

[Guest shaigrin]

Thank you Paul!

Even before installing I'm sure it was worth the wait and of course the wait for the next MCR.

He said it's completely stock so it has froyo a2sd which some say is not that good, I don't know cause I've never used a2sd.

[Guest Invisible Elf]

Any wipe required when coming from stock ROM? And is it recommended to flash with clockwork or ROM manager?

[Guest squrl]

When we can expect it in the kitchen? Rough estimation is more than enough.

[Guest Elbereth]

Thanks Paul but I will wait for MCR. :)

[Guest rekekjeks]

Too bad I just HAD to install the OTA =P

Now I've lost my root... God damnit!

1. No, this is stock. MCR will support A2SD.

2. For theming. If you don't know, you don't need it. :)

[Guest HearThatVoiceAgain]

Maybe he's saying your acute, or possibly obtuse?

[Guest p-d]

Paul,

Any wipe required from r3.1?
