I know this is the wrong section but I got some kind of feeling that there are more people looking in this section.
I have read some guides in the Development section (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537'
But I got some questions about rooting/S-off.
Why is rooting/S-off necessarily, why can't I just put the rom on my SD and go right into recovery mode and boot it up from there?
Also the program visionary plus, I hate that thing so much.... At this step:
Open Visionary and tap temproot, then attempt permroot now. Your device will reboot.
How the hell do I open it? I use Astro File manager or something to go to the file but I can't install the program on my mobile/SD card >.<
Also what do I need to do more besides Wiping my phone? In this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11557769
It says to flash a Radio is this a must? Or is the S-off/Root enough.
Thanks already

No, the DHD has a protected system which precludes overwriting the system partition so without S-OFF you can not make any permanent changes.

Don't use it then the instructions here, achieve root without the use of visionary.

No, but using a newer radio may improve battery life and wifi/Gps reception etc.

No worries!
When I had the wrong Radio my battery drain was 15% an hour and this was with a sense Rom. imo S-OFF is a must.

Actually all of the roms now are running Gingerbread, and sense roms are on sense2.1 (With some sense3.0 elements).
My bad, when I was choosing which rom to load yesterday, everything i read said AR was still 2.2. Must have been old threads.

just for the record, nobody can help you based on this information. you need to quote the error message.
Haven't tried CM7 but if you haven't already flashed a rom I'd give a big thumbsup for Leedroids GB rom, very quick, stable and flashed like a dream

+1 for this. definitely give LeeDroid a go if you can. admittedly, it's the only custom one i've used to date (and for less than 24 hours at that), but i can't rate it high enough compared to the branded rom i got in the first place. amazing!

sorry to hear that. it's news to me, though. i downloaded it (CWM), and used it last night in the process of flashing the rom, no issues. but i understand the whole 'there may be issues, so i think i'll wait - don't want to brick my phone' line of thought. good luck when you get there. i'm sure you'll be fine if you follow the various guides posted on here. they worked an absolute treat for me (and i'm the definition of n00b).

So basically I'm screwed? Since I need to downgrade to root, and to backup you need to have root >.< but when you downgrade you lose everything xD
I will try it tonight ._.
If you want to back up the new GB OTA ROM then yes but if you just want to back up your apps then No, you don't need root.
Titanium works with root but doesn't need it. Also, if you ticked to let Google keep a backup then your apps will be re-downloaded when you next perform a wipe.

Using Windoze is great....
One word for you: Linux.
At the risk of high jacking this thread, have you installed HTC Sync? Can you connect to HTC Sync? If not, try another USB port (if using front port use back ports or vice-versa). If none work uninstall HTC Sync and reinstall it after rebooting PC.
If that works when you are in adb (making sure USB Debugging is on) try
Code:
adb devices
Do you get a result?

Hi i am new here and to new to android . I want to flash my xperia x10 form the stock software to 2.2 or higher. I have read most of the guides and am still unsure which rom and baseband to use. I am running Ubuntu 10.
thanks
I would suggest Wolfbreak's CM 6.1.3, it's fast and stable, and looks nice =)
It is also easy to install since it needs baseband .54, which you can get it from the .435 stock firmware directly.

i would have to agree that Wolfbreak's CM 6.1.3 would be the rom of choice. It is super stable and quite fast too.
You will need to root your phone, and then install xRecovery. Then you can install ROMS from the xRecovery menu.
Root using superoneclick and then copy the xRecovery APK to your phone and install it. Download the ROM files and copy them to your SD card, reboot into xRecovery and follow the ROM installation steps (backup all your stuff on your phone first - i suggest My Backup Root (from the market) - provided you have rooted it already). If you want to try different basebands, i have included a link for them too.
As for doing all this from ubuntu - i think you will need to be running a Windows VM or find another pc that has Windows installed, i tried from Ubuntu myself but it was just easier from a Winblows machine.

I'm also kind of a noob, but I really want to make this stuff work...
I took this thread as a base, I currently have the 2.1 official update on my X10. So far I used the superclick tool and it said it rooted my phone (how can I make sure it worked?)
Then I downloaded the stuff and run the xRecovery app, it said it granted some superuser thing, but then I see nothing else...
Any help appreciated, specially if I skipped some steps maybe?
if you want to check if you are rooted, intall titanium backup and see if the app runs. If it does, then you've got root.
I didnt get what you wanted to ask in the second part of your question though..
I was missing an app from the market
Ok I got it working
So far I'm testing this new stuff...woah, amazing.
Any recommendations of things (ROMs) I should try?
p.s. I got no signal and WiFi won't turn on... I guess this is normal?
@ aR_ChRiS and mrtim123
Second that Wolfbreak's CM 6.1.3 is one of the most complete 2.2 roms. But you'll want to look up post on how to:
- root your phone
- install xRecovery (requires busybox), and how to use it
In case if you "brick" your phone or get stuck in a boot loop, look up for "flashtool".
Hope this helps.

WIFI, camera and everything else works great for me. Except for the camcoder, it's got a bit of audio sync problem if not using the right setting.

How do you get it to the right setting? and someone told me it drains your battery. is this true?
Yes battery life isn't that great but acceptable for me.
~24 hours under medium usage
~12-15 hours under heavy use
You need to have your focus setting set to infinity to have better audio sync.
To be honest I don't think the camcorder is up to average user's standard, but camera works just fine.
Things I like from this rom are:
- improved performance (very few lags, things run much smoother than stock 2.1 especially when texting)
- android 2.2 apps & features (gmail 2.3, flash, JIT...)
- no random reboots
- the unlock slider does not lag after the screen is off for awhile
Known issues to my knowledge:
- incomplete camcorder
- no live wallpaper
In case you haven't noticed tho, devs here have figured out a way to bypass x10's bootloader. This will enable us to load custom kernels.
All the roms here before the breakthrough are only built on top of the stock 2.1 kernel. That's causing some limitations in developing custom roms (issues such as having a working driver for x10 camera)
So if u can wait for a bit I'm sure there will be better roms (with android 2.3) coming in the next couple months! And Sony has announced there will be official 2.3 upgrade coming possibly during this summer.
However I've been using wolfbreak's CM 6.1.3 for over a month now, would really recommend it if ur not that into video recording lol

So they didn't copy during the installation?!
if it matters I root my phone with AlphaRev. In the moment I'm with recovery-clockwork-3.2.0.0.zip + recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-buzz.zip
see that:

You're not alone. I have same problem, too. There's a lot more missing things like setup wizard, input languages other than English, etc... Not just wildpuzzle, same situation applies to some other custom roms I tried.
Weird thing is that there's no problem with old wildpuzzle 8.0.11. Maybe some dev would come out and compare it with others to find out what's wrong.

100%.
The things that are limited by stock version will be overcomed by dev software.
Personally i got S-OFF, bluetooth wireless pan tethering (kernel dependent) , live wall papers, better battery, and many other things.....
If everyone tells what they got benefited by dev software, then the list will be really huge.....
I also heard that wifi N and newer htc sense got enabled in devices that are not supported by stock (not sure about sense). Depends on what u consider. IMO, like i said 100%.

Try to compare the update-script files of both, and see if there is any part "missing" or something.
If both are alike/the same, then create a recovery-logfile just after flashing the latest wildpuzzle rom. Perhaps it will clear some things.

Could it be a problem related to AlphaRev?
this morning i've flashed an ruu stock rom and the problem is still here: empty htc wallpaper.
I doubt this is a wildpuzzle bug cause I've never flash one of those rom (only cyanogen, jokerdroid, dk).
the only things in common are alpharev and clockworkmode (i'm using cwm2.5) but the latter is out there since too long to discover a bug just now.
I restore stock and no problem ..
did you restore stock through recovery or the executable ruu?

We've gotten alot of response from the Desire community so thank you all for your help. At this time we do not need any more testers for the desire. BootManager should be updated with support for the Htc Desire in the next few days. The app currently won't support rom's that use apps2sd and data2sd but our team is working on getting support for those as well. Thanks.
Hey guys my team has developed an app called bootmanager which went into the market today. The app let's you install rom's to your sdcard and boot between them. I had originally done an inc only version here that used your recovery for installing rom's. The new app installs the rom's directly through the app and then let's you boot between them. Anyway on to the point of this post...i'm looking for 1 or 2 beta testers to add support for the desire. You'll need a little knowledge of adb, root of course, and just a little bit of patience. So far has worked pretty well on every htc device wev'e tried so I'm confident we can add support for the desire as well. You can get a little more info about the app from the link in my sig or looking at it in the market. If your interested pm me so I can get the info needed for the desire(.i.e partition sizes and a few other things that i'll tell you how to find in adb) and I'll send the apk for you to try. Thanks for your help....
Very interesting app! Would hboot have to be compatible (ie right size) with all the installed roms or as they are installed to SD does it not matter?

by hboot your refferring to the bootloader? This doesn't change the bootloader. It makes img's on your sdcard which hold your system/data/cache files for the rom, then it edits the boot.img for that rom to point to those img's when booting. Then the app flashes the boot.img for the rom you want to boot too.
I would be very interested in trying this out as I pretty much change my ROM on a daily to weekly basis haha, I just can't stop! This would be a good way to nurture my need for all the ROMs I switch between all of the time.
Would this app work on a non rooted phone? I mean having the stock ROM in the phone and a rooted one on the SDcard. But I guess it wouln't...

No you need an unlocked bootloader to switch the boot.img. And root to do a number of other things involved in setting up the rom.

Oh I tried MIUI-XJ, it's nice to know that you're happy with it ^^ I used it for about three to four days and felt that I was using an iPhone more so than an Android and I prefer the feel/look of Android devices... I loved being able to theme it so easily, though. I like the transparency mods in NeoPhyte ROMs and bits and pieces of many others... I should just figure out how to make my own.

got Miui XJ on phone rom and tried to boot CM7.
working without problems so far!
thank you. gonna look into this now
Should we run the update after the rom has been installed, so it updates the boot.img ? Haven't tried running the update.zip directly from bootmanager yet, but works fine from recovery.

Also, if you can post me the threads for the steps I should do, I would be grateful.
Thanks!
I definetely would root it and use setCPU and overclock it.
And put your apps on the SD card instead of internal memory.
That would help I suppose.
But for sure there are other real experts that can help you
Good luck

Hello guys, I own a wildfire and I'm having a bad time with it.
I use Launcher pro, lot of widgets installed, 2gb card that has very few free space and my problem is that it is SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW.
Slow as hell.
I just cant stand it anymore.
I have stock rom, not even rooted, all stock except launcher and widgets.

Hi I suggest you take a look in the wildfire buzz ''dev'' section. I would root and try some roms. CyanogenMod 7 I use with overclock and its alot faster/ smoother. Also got some tweaks to improve it more. I hope this helps you.

buy a galaxy gio 120 euros and you have one or a other mobile because the wildfire would be forever slow im happy thats mine wildfire is broken.
tweaks are for cm7 and can be used on other roms. Depends on what you need. Also cm7 has its own tweaking in settings. As for downgrading, if you are on hboot 1.01.0002 then you need to downgrade to 1.01.0001. Or if you on 80.00002(something like that can't remember exact number), i would upgrade to 1.01.0001. Revolutionary only at present works with 1.01.0001 as far as I'm aware. But honestly I think you will like the difference once done.
Bro, I even start to type and the whole phone lags, when I open handcent sms, it takes A CENTURY to open....
I hope the difference will be noticable.
Is CM7 the most stable?
Can I have a backup to my current state? So in case something goes bad I can recover?
just go for cyanogenmod 7.1.0.1 stable, that should do the trick for you. will be faster and smoother and with decent app2sd. and yes you can do a backup, its called a nandroid back up and you perform it from your custom recovery( dont worry you`ll get one during the process of rooting ect). a nandroid back up is and exact copy of how your phone is now. rom/apps/appinfo everything. so if **** hits the fan you can always go backto your nandroid backup. also if all else fails you can use a htc program called a ruu which will completely revert the phone back to stock. hboot recovery rom all of it
I just rooted and installed CM7. I have a problem, I followed this guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1365159
And I used the backup at the step 31, with the revolutionary thing.
Well before the wipe, I backed up a lot of things, except my contacts. Is there any way I can find them inside this backup that was made during step 31?
Well the phone runs a little bit more faster but not that fast.
I'll try OC and we'll see.

or make a nandroid backup, then restore your previous backup, download an app called contact2sim and copy all of your contacts over to your sim. and then reflash your nandroid. or i think the stock contacts app has the ability to export all your contacts to your sdcard as a .xml file, take that and then you can out them on your other nandroid and on your pc for safe keeping

In order to install roms you have to install magldr and flash the rom.
You need to root your current (I assume stock?) rom only if you're going to go with it.
See the post in my sig for more details.

You made a good choice switching away from the Thrill... That thing eats battery life for breakfast, lunch and dinner. There are a few good devs over in the Thrill forum though.

What's the benefit of flashing any custom ROM? It's not different for WP7 than any other OS.
Unlocking the phone -> you can sideload apps/games
There is no rooting for WP7, there is interop unlock.
Flashing roms -> customize the OS and unlock included (custom ones)

Welcome to the community
Sideloading means installing application/games on the phone, once you have the binaries (XAPs). Similar to installing APK files on Android.
I'm getting you have a Focus Flash i667. Just FYI there is only unlock but no custom rom for Samsung 2nd generation phones, not yet. I initially assumed you have a Samsung Focus i917 since you didn't specify in your first post.
Do not try any stuff on 2nd generation WP7 yet (e.g. roms) unless they're designed for it. For example, flashing a custom i917 ROM on your i667 will brick it.
If it's a bit confusing it's because both phones are Focus, but one is i917 (the original Focus) and the other one is i667 (Flash). There is no dedicated i667 Focus Flash forum...

Nope, Chevron worked for earlier version of WP7 OS...
Seems like a driver/software issue to me. Read carefully and try the steps again. GL...

Honestly if there wasn't a thriving dev community for these devices I wouldn't even be upset, as WP7 is so good out of the box, custom ROMs are just icing on the cake. Good luck to you.
