Hi,
has anybody heard or knows from the Desire Z and Desire HD anti-root chip?
Is this a fake from T-Mobile?
www.mobiflip.de/2010/10/t-mobile-bestaetigt-anti-root-chip-fuer-htc-g2-aka-desire-z
From what I've heard, it's true !
Only T-Mobile Smartphones?
Only T-Mobile Smartphones or other like O2 or HTC?
I suppose its going to be Anti-root even if the device is unbranded and unlocked, right? can anyone with an unbranded/unlocked device confirm this? (for both G2 and Desire HD)
Well, the eMMC data storage chip is not meant to be anti-root on it's own, but it's configuration makes it.. Well, anti-root.
We cannot write to it (not yet anyway), it has a write protection. The device caches all the changes the developers make to the linux file system, and loads an unchanged system from the eMMC chip upon reboot.
LOL, that's bad publicity ...
I think easiest way would be to find a way to S-Off the device first, and than start rooting
Apparently Paul at Modaco has made a one click root app. I've not got a link have a look in the Development section of this forum.

We'll have to wait first to see if hackers can get through the read only eMMC. Once you see that happen, then root and new ROMs are possible.
ATM afaik, people are working on the eMMC problem in the G2 at the moment, hopefully the techniques they find there will be cross-applicable to the desire HD.

Once rooted, you will be able to add ( and most of the ROMs developers include it) an cool App2SD application.
That app allow you to install other application on the SDCard.

Yes, because the Nexus is pure Android and is "open"
On the Desire, HTC added Sense, that is closed and reflect the "know-how" of HTC. They want to keep all their stuff secret and protected.
The main difference between Nexus and Desire is the philosophy, not the hardware.

You need android to downgrade. The hd2 running winmo can't do it. I think he wants somebody to port it to the android hd2.
Maybe this will help?
http://psfreedom.com/wiki/HTC_HD2
No pr0x2, that just allows you to jailbreak the PS3 if you have firmware 3.41. This allows you to downgrade the firmware from 3.50 to 3.41.
Really good for anyone who has upgraded their firmware either by accident or had no choice as the upgrade was mandatory and didn't give you that choice.
its been done

As much as I want this on the hd2, I just went ahead and ordered a e3 card reader for 15 shipped. I hated how I needed to boot into the patched android version everytime I wanted to play. Either way I hope it gets ported.

Ok so you guys are using Android as a tool to downgrade the firmware on a Playstation3?
Yes, if you are on v3.5 you can now download to v3.41. You however need to do it by using specific type of usb dongle sticks. Or by hopefully having some one port the code to an android built. Use google for more info...

Try Cyanogen. Check out the thread in the G2 dev forum, where there's loads of activity (the thread on the DZ side is pretty dead).
I've used Cyanogen before on my G1 & its good but it never felt like stock to me. Just wondering is it possible to flash the G2 Rom onto the Desire Z?

According to Cyanogen it's still not a totally stock build. But if you use gfree to get full radio S-OFF, you should be able to flash the G2 ROM. Do not try this with just S-OFF from the engineering hboot.

'Radio S-OFF' *confused look on face* I am very confused as to what you mean.

If you look through the dev forum, you will find lots of custom ROMs. There are some custom ROMs based on the stock G2 ROM, and you may want to try one of those our (or possibly more than one of those).
What you need to do is to get permanent root on your phone (I recommend using the "rage" method, documented in the dev forum). Then you need to get S-OFF (Security Off) so that you can flash unsigned (i.e. custom) ROM images.
Originally there was a sort-of S-OFF using an "engineering" version of the bootloader. This was ok but kinda risky. We now have a much safer method, described in the stickes on the dev forum, using a program called "gfree". It now is clear you haven't used the engineering hboot, so just forget I ever mentioned that lol.
What I recommend you do is read up on "rage" and the new "gfree" S-OFF, read some more, ask questions if you're not sure, then only finally once you're clear, go ahead and do those procedures. Before you try another one, install ROM Manager from the Market, use it to flash Clockwork Recovery (it's an option inside ROM Manager), and then use it to do a full backup of your ROM - so that will mean if you don't like the new ROM you can very easily restore to what you have now.

You'll lose all the HTC apps. So if you like any of them, maybe you won't like a stock Android ROM ?
Have a look at HTC's spec sheet on the DZ, which does list all their add-on apps and widgets too, that should give you an idea - http://www.htc.com/uk/product/desirez/specification.html
But you could always do a Nandroid backup of what you have now, flash a new ROM to try it, then you can easily go back if you don't like it.

This.
Also want to point out that HTC's enhancements go beyond the apps, rosie-launcher and the widgets...
The T9-based dialler is theirs, as is the camera, the deskclock (with world cities), the music player, etc...
Oh and lots of little things like the icons/black statusbar etc.
I generally don't like having to use Sense, but I wish Google would up their game with regards to the dialler and camera especially. They're just terrible at the moment (which is why Cyanogen went to the trouble of practically making his own camera app).
Hopefully for Honeycomb...

I have to say that I'm a Sense fan. I can't fault it over stock Android (aside from the slight performance overhead, which is a non-issue if you overclock).
Vanilla Android - awful camera, contacts, dialler, ugly as hell, launcher looks nice but is plain annoying cos it doesn't fling more than a few lines, you don't get the Sense weather animations which I think are awesome eyecandy for showing off your phone to other people, Sense widgets are all generally pretty, the list goes on...
But ultimately that is MY preference, and the awesome thing about Android is you can customise it to fit your preferences. Try vanilla out - you have absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain

Quick question for you, Why do you recommend the 'rage' method over other methord's such as 'visionary'?
This topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857390&highlight=gfree talks about using 'gfree' & 'visionary' & seams like a very easy & straight forward way of gaining root access.

Yep, a lot of people seem to run Visionary and end up stuck in a boot loop or similar. I've never seen any problem like that with rage, the worst that seems to happen is it just doesn't work (but the phone is still fine), and that's usually because a command hasn't been typed in correctly or an error message came up and the user didn't realise it was important.

@brswattt, definately worth a custom ROM/Theme. i have been thinking the same thing, maybe some sort of Hybrid based on another phone such as Droid.
tilt4life2 point out a kick-a$$ ROM. love the lockscreen
im slowly learning app creation, and as time allows im looking into system changes. for me i would like a custom ROM which allows the user to re-assign any key function for custom actions(keymapping)... there's probably a program somewhere that does this already
Like THIS one

The system.img (at least) won't dump with unyaffs. This is usually caused by incorrectly copying it from the partition with dd.

The marvel_dump.zip has the /system image already expanded. The system.img in the original file has a blocksize of 2048, so you have to use a parameter to get unyaffs to extract it.

GSM means that it's a standard phone that works in any country. ie: it's not CDMA, which mean that it doesn't need special frequencies from the service provider.

like lo2ay already said GSM ("Global System for Mobile Communications") doesn''t mean "unlocked" and has nothing to do wih it.
But in case you didn't unlock your phone - and I'm not getting you totally wrong - this brings up a much more interesting question: if you don't have an unlocked Wildfire - how the hell have you been able to flash a ROM anyway? I'd guess one of the following might match your situation:
- you have a different phone (not a HTC Wildfire)
- you just thought you're going to flash a ROM but did something else instead
- your Wildfire is unlocked and you don't know it
Are you really serious about what you've done? What tutorial/how to did you use to flash Cyanogen Mod?
And yes: if your phone is a Wildfire (buzz) and not unlocked/rooted you can't flash a new radio because you can't flash anything custom...

oh yes - I've been thinking about that for a few seconds - you're probably right.
Regarding my own little problem which I've also discussed a bit desperately here: may I ask you what you would try next with all your Wildfire experience? (I've never been really convinced that the V6 Supercharger or 3G Turbocharger scripts could be involved but after reading that a few people got that bootloop prob with 3G after messing around with them it looked so obvious).
I feared to investigate any further because I had the feeling it could cost a lot of time... so when I went on to solve the problem it turned out I was right with that: I've flashed the 7.2 stable today - with doing just a dalvik and system wipe without success and then a complete wipe - no success either.
I fear to revert back to a true stock rom (including s-off again) as it took me a lot of sweat to do that initially (that has been just in the middle of transformation from revolutionary to alpha rev with all the goldcard stuff etc.) - too make it short: what would you do?
Thx in advance for some input on this...
I would first check my mtd size settings! If you dont know what custom mtds are it means your not using them,if you are using them then you must remember to flash the bravo boot file straight after your rom flash before booting! If this is not your issue then i would do a clean flash of a rom. I.e wipe system, cache, dalvik cache, go into mount and storage and do all available wipes NOT sdcard, then flash the rom. If all fails then i would 1st try a reflash of a custom recovery and repeat previous clean rom flash. Now if it still didnt play ball i would scream at it, throw it at a wall then regret that step and move on to ruu.exe and start afresh lol.
On the v6 etc etc issue. Ive publicly said many times how much i hate this script and others like it! But this is only my opinion as i have had issues using them too in the early days. An app i use still to this day which gives you complete control over the effects of these scripts is autokiller memory optimizer. I will link to a thread i made some time ago to explain this app which can be found on the market.
This again can and most likely will be argued or debated as to its function but in my experience its a must have when used correct.

Sorry i only just noticed your link so my advice was for current op issue. However yes i believe these scripts are the cause im afraid. Still i would give you the same advice again as above or try a clean sense rom flash.
You can get safe ruu flashable zips too so as not to lose security or root so try these before going the exe route.
Hope you get a fix.

I would first check my mtd size settings! If you dont know what custom mtds are it means your not using them,if you are using them then you must remember to flash the bravo boot file straight after your rom flash before booting!

Yep I'm using custom mtds - that's exactly the reason I don't like to flash once in a week LOL. I'm aware of flashing the bravo boot directly before rebooting.
I.e wipe system, cache, dalvik cache

done
go into mount and storage and do all available wipes NOT sdcard

for that I'm sure I didn't do all (because I've done the factory reset anyways) but perhaps it helps to do it explicitly...? shouldn't hurt
If all fails then i would 1st try a reflash of a custom recovery

ummh, never done that before - can you point me to a tut or how to?
Now if it still didnt play ball i would scream at it, throw it at a wall then regret that step and move on to ruu.exe and start afresh lol

oh, so I'd say you're relaxed like Buddha as this came to mind much earlier
On the v6 etc etc issue. Ive publicly said many times how much i hate this script and others like it! But this is only my opinion as i have had issues using them too in the early days

yes I know - I've read a few of them I've been satisfied with the script but I'm also quite sure that it depends on too many things if it works good on the phone.
An app i use still to this day which gives you complete control over the effects of these scripts is autokiller memory optimizer. I will link to a thread i made some time ago to explain this app which can be found on the market.

nice, thx, I'll have a look when that sweet old crappy thing will run again LOL
Thx again for quick response -> off to the laboratories now
Nice quote edits, you have way too much time on your hands lol.
For recovery flashing head to development sticky and 3xenos complete wildfire thread has it all mate. I use the terminal emulator method as adb and fastboot dont play well with me.
Lol buddah.
Some users stating a radio flash may fix the bootlooping? Wont harm to try!! Just make sure its a wildfire radio

thx - and for adb - it's the opposite here: I don't like ADBin' LOL

I know but I've already tried that twice
And no good news: either wiping everything and doing with or without custom mtd didn't do. Immediately when the network icon shows up (on Google accounts login) reboot... - but wait... one more question: what about formatting boot? should i do this, too?
However, I'll try a sense ROM now and the "safe" RUU afterwards - cross fingers...

Format boot..... Yeah why not, i always have.
Really strange this though as you have virtually wiped the phone clean. I thinks you gonna have to ruu it

yup. I've tried to install Rempuzzle - but that hangs around 30 mins - so I will try the custom recovery first...

Its sounds like you got things covered and know what your doing but just in case? You do have sdext partition for flashing rempuzzle yes?

LOL yes but thx for the reminder anyway
Now it's getting really weird... I've just put in a different SIM (out of the family) - different carrier. (the idea came to my mind somehow). Looks like the phone doesn't reboot with that.
If that's true and not by accident - what does that mean now? Usually I'd think about the radio - but I've completely wiped the phone (including a sense install in between) - could this be a hardware problem?
I guess I'll do the RUU thingy anyway. So I'll start to gather information on that.
If anyone has a good suggestion to do that as easy and quick as possible - I'd appreciate any suggestions.
--- EDIT ---
If someone has a suggestion for a small Sense ROM (yeah I know) I'd prefer to do that first...
