Hi
My DHD is just temproot and as it say on modaco before permroot you should have a safety net
http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-desire-hd-desirehd-modaco-com/320722/19-nov-r14-visionary-one-click-root/
How do i create a backup of the ROM im using right now?
Also how do i use framework-res.apk from the SKins thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=801928
I think that guide is referring to the need to have a copy of the relevant ruu for your device. I know I didn't do anything until this was safely stored on my hdd!
That's your safety net ... if all else fails you can then just flash the ruu and you're back to stock.
cant i just install ROM manager and backup the rom im using
can that be used as a safety net?
Yes I think so but I would always go the ruu root when restoring to stock.
I think nandroid performs a backup as part of the setup process actually, can't remember. No harm in having a backup AND the ruu though
im backing my ROM using ROM Manager and the Orange RUU is perfect for my device
Thanks for all your help.
HELP i installed ROM MANAGER i had Temproot no S OFF and i just installed CLOCkwork and clicked back up current rom, it rebooted got HTC scrren and now theres just a phone icon with a red triangle with exclamation mark.
Remove battery and reboot, what happens?
its working fine but no backup of the current ROM
Shall i just perm root?
ive got the RUU on my HDD
Sounds like you need to s-off your dhd then. I'd use the eng hboot method shown in the guide.
Wasn't sure if you could backup without, seems not.
Yeah I'd permroot also, for one extra click ;-)
should i just permroot? ive downloaded the RUU_Ace_Orange_UK_1.40.61.2_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_157531_signed.exe
on my HDD
Permrooted thanks
How do you change the framework that you get with the skins? Do I just replace it and reboot?

Haven't done anything with skins I'm afraid so can't answer that. I'm sure someone else will have dabbled and will have some advice though.

Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=766, here there are lots of threads on skins, themes etc and some include the framework walk through you need....
You need to flash your framework, but please...take a backup just in case
My first post and im sure i missed it somewhere. Ive spent the past 2 hours reading and searching for some help. I want to do nandroid back up. EXACTLY how do igo about it?
I justgot myG2 a week ago. A day ago i perm rooted it and then overclocked.
I came from a back flip that i rooted and installed j_rodds recovery and rom.
Do i need to do the same custom recovery like j_rodds?
Use rom manager and click "flash clockworknod"
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 running Cyanogenmod.
Yea. After you flash clockwork. You can either backup while in rom manger or when your phone is off hold vol down+power then go to recovery. There should be an option backup/restore. Lol note use the track pad to navigate
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Once you flash ClockworkMod recovery using ROM Manager, you can also perform the nandroid through ROM Manager, as well. I prefer this because it gives you an opportunity to rename the backup before you create it (instead of getting a seemingly random number sequence). I.e. you could have 'CM7-Feb20' instead of '032301-110235003'
Think of ROM Manager as a GUI for recovery.

True, but if you have more than about 3, it gets a bit confusing. Much easier if they're appropriately named.
When I try this by powering off the phone and restarting with holding down the volume key. Then going into recovery. I get a triangle with a red exclamation point.
Need to flash clockwork in rom manger
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Open rom manager, the very top option is to flash clockworkmod recovery. Do that.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I have followed everyones instructions. But I still get the triangle with red exclamation when I try to get into recovery at boot.
DL ROM manager from app store, install ROM manager, open ROM manager, press "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery"(should be first thing at the top), confirm phone model.
Either reboot into recovery, or scroll down to backup, and proceed to do so.

Have followed this as well. When I try to boot into recovery I get the triangle with red exclamation.
I have done all the suggestions as listed above. I have noticed when i boot by holding down the volume and power, At the top of screen it still says s-on.
Shouldnt it be S-off with root?
Im over clocked with set cpu, have superuser permission app and terminal emulator show su, and titanium backup shows root. So have i missed something and that would explain why i cant get into recovery?
HELP????

Getting root and s-off from my understanding are 2 different things. Root is its own thing and s-off lets you falsh custom roms..... try going into rom manager and clicking flash clockworkmod.....do it like 2 times. You should be fine

Ive done this probably a dozen times. Even uninstalled and re installed. Still shows red triangle if i try to get into recovery
ok, The phone does have to have S-off to load a custim recovery. Did that and it now works.
Now if i could figure out how to sim unlock phone after perm rooted and s-off

Subsidy unlock is what you want.

Ah thanks so much. Now I'm perm rooted. Subsidy(sim) unlocked and over clocked to 1.4ghz. But the oc won't stick on reboot. I have to go into g script and do it. Also got the nandroid to work after s- off.

I'm going to be activating my Hero pretty soon on Sprint but it's currently running CM7. Can I activate it while running CM7 or do I need to revert it back to the stock ROM to activate it? If I need to revert it back to stock, can someone help me out with how to do that cause it's been a while since I've done any of this.
If you're reactivating it on the same phone number it once used (ie. the MDN & MSID haven't changed) you should be fine without flashing. otherwise it's worth it to flash to a sense rom. Just go through the motions when programming with sprint over the phone because you won't be able to access the ## menus. Better yet, sprint.com/activate, no human interaction.

Definitely use a sense. You never know what they might have you do.

It's going to be for a different number, so I guess I'll flash it back to Sense. Do I just put the Sense ROM on my SD card and flash it with the boot menu?
Yes, you will need a sense rom. No, you do not need to unroot. Liquidsense or nfx are good choices. Flash them per instructions in their respective threads. Word to the wise, once you get a sense rom flashed, make a nand so you can go back and update your prl/profile easier.

Ok I'm running into a problem. Ever since I put the Liquid Sense file on my SD card, it won't let me get to the menu to install it. I turn my phone off then hold power + home and it just sits at the white screen that says HTC. I tried installing Liquid Sense through ROM Manager as well and same thing, just freezes at the white HTC screen. Any ideas on what to do? By the way, I tried installing the stock HTC ROM but the installer just says Error 170 USB Cable Error or something even though I follow all the steps correctly.
USB error 170 (WIN 7) is usually fixed by simply disconnecting and reconnecting the USB and re-running the RUU. Also, its likely that your failed attempt to run the RUU has wiped out your custom recovery, hence your inability to access it. At this point, you can try to re-flash a new recovery, or successfully run the RUU and re-root

Yeah I think you're right about something being wrong with the custom recovery so what I did was just installed the alternate recovery using ROM Manager and then I was able to install Liquid Sense from the new recovery menu. Thanks for the help
Hey guys, I'm new to rooting the mytouch 4g so I need some help. Rooting my vibrant was a piece of cake but I'm having problems with this phone. I rooted my phone using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834225 . Everything went smoothly; however, I ran into a small problem. Hboot tells me that s=off but when I try to use apps that require root like titanium backup, screenshot, and rom manager, I am told that my device is not rooted. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

you need to run visionary one more time.
basically that method obtains temp root so you can turn s=off. Then when you turn it off it loses root. So you need to reroot one last time so you can keep it. This has been covered many times.
I ran visionary and I have rebooted many times. Do I need to press something in visionary? What should I do?

pull the battery. that will refresh the cache. Then reinsert the battery. temp root and make sure "run visionary.sh" and "set /system to r/w" are both checked. then tap perma-root. and open the terminal emulator the type "su".

As long as it says s=off in bootloader and do permroot once booted then you should have a permanent root.
Thanks a lot guys. I really do appreciate it. That solved my problem. The guide didn't mention anything about checking those 2 options and running permaroot once s=off was enabled. I guess it was common sense but I'm a noob so I didn't think of that. Which roms do you guys recommend? I was thinking about trying out the virtuous unity sense 3.0 rom. I usually flash new rome on my vibrant through clockwork, should I use rom manager or through hboot for the my touch 4g?

Never flash a rom through rom manager. Always flash in recovery to prevent bad flashes, i don't think rom manager does a good wipe.

I'd recommend RoyalGinger3.0(A fast simplified version of CM7), Virtuous Unity if you're into Sense, or Faux123's AOSP/CM7 Rom.
Hi folks,
Today I booted up Rom Manager and it told me that a new version of CWM was available : 5.0.1.0 So I flashed it (through Rom Manager, so the temporary one) and noticed that it is cyan instead of orange. I didn't pay attention to new features. Is there a official version for permanent flash? Is this a official CWM?
Thanks in advance
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Yes its official, and yes, there is an IMG file for a permanent flash.
http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/
ROM Manager and Clockworkmod are written by the same person, so, if ROM Manager says there's an update, it will be an official one.
PS - Questions shouldn't be in Dev Section.
It works but this isn't permanent flash?
after recovery reboot i get back to v.3.x.x.x
Ups... I didn't download *.img. now it's working
Can someone talk me through how do I go about making this permanent? I've downloaded through Rom Manager and if I boot into recovery via rom manager I get the new version but if I reboot into recovery I still have the old one.
I've read about a couple of methods of doing this, I believe it's possible using either Unrevoked or Terminal Emulator? I'm having trouble working out which method is easier/more reliable.
I'm S-On if this makes any difference?
Thanks!

Both work. Unrevoked method is definitely more easier, but, if you don't mind typing in a bunch of commands, then the terminal emulator method is probably more reliable.
EDIT - I think the Terminal method needs S-OFF, so I guess you are stuck with Unrevoked, in all probability.
Download the image. Open up a terminal and type su, you should get a # sign. Move the image to the root of your SD. In your terminal type flash_image recovery SD/(name of image). Hit return and watch the terminal flash the latest version. Personally I'd use Amon-Ra, but that's just me.

When you open the UnrEVOked tool, you can somewhere select a custom recovery image (I can't tell you exacly, but if I remember right, there weren't that much menu options in unrEVOked). You can then proceed with the normal procedure: the UnrEVOked tool will do its magic to install your new recovery image.
You can download the .img from the link from 3xeno, or you can find it somewhere on your sdcard as ROM Manager has already downloaded it.
To be honest: your life willnbe much mor easy when you use the AlpheRevX/Revolutionary tool to get S-OFF. The commands to flash a new recovery aren't that difficult, and other fastboot commands can be very usefull when you did something very stupid, want to restore a nandroid backup and notice that clockworkmod doesn't want to cooperate anymore. It really saved my phone more then once And, last but not least, when S-OFF you can remount your system folder as read/write (im stead of read-only) to change certain system files (for example, deinstall a useless system app) in a descent graphical interface and when your phone is booted.
Good luck!

Unrevoked doesn't seem to want to play ball for me at the moment, keep getting "Is your firmware too new?" error messages. I'll S-Off, it's something I've been meaning to do anyway just never got round to! Thanks for your help.
Use an older version of Unrevoked, something between 3.14 and 3.21. All newer versions give this error for some or the other reason. (Assuming you are not going to S-OFF yet)
Ahh yes 3.14 did the trick! Thanks.
It is an official update, CWM won't install something that isn't official.
Use fast boot flash. From windows or linux.
