Original from Rogers... Havent installed any ROMs because this problem showed up!

If you can access the recovery image, you can flash any ROM that you want. That Rogers original ROM must not be rooted, so you have not root access.

Ok, so to be able to have root access, i need to flash to a ROM? even when I already did the rooting stuff?
Oh ok. I was scared I wouldnt be able to flash to another ROM cuz this applications were telling me I had no root access even when I rooted already.

But wait, if i flash my Rogers Magic, wont I have bluetooth isues and market issues and all of that?

Depends on the rom new hero roms shouldn't have any BT issues but some have problems with protected apps from the market. But just find a rom you like and read what issues the rom might have and find one there cover your needs.

Thanks a lot for ur help

rooting 1.5 hero

Hello i got refered over to this site from androidforums.com
First of all i see alot of great info on here but im still a noob to this whole root process. Im not very familiar with terms and would like for someone to help me understand different roms and what is best. Im still running the stock 1.5 firmware. My baseband version is 1.04.01.09.21 software version 1.56.651.2
So ive read there is easy way to root your phone with a program you can download on your phone. can someone help me out with this. TIA

http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik..._CDMA.png#Rooting_.2F_Un-rooting_.2F_Flashing - has all links you might need to root and flash a ROM.
As you are on Sense and a older radio, I'll suggest you to upgrade to later version of sense - something 2.1 and then root it, so you don't have to worry about flashing a radio, later. But, that's your call.
Whatever you do, read all the information properly... so you don't have issues.

Try z4root... its a app that you Install and then just click ONE button... That's It!!
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App

If you want just pm me. I started with 1.5 and I kept the app called flash rec. It a basic app to install a recovery. Good luck

HTC Wildfire Unroot Help

ii want to unroot my htc wildfire. I want to unroot it using a Debranded RUU.
however, when i try using an unbranded RUU i recieve an error
ERROR [131]: CUSTOMER ID ERROR
my phone was originally on 3g.
is thier a way i can unroot the device and have it debranded?
thnks

What version of Android has it got? Also use Unrevoked 3 first!

Its currently Rooted and has a custom rom on it 2.2.1.
i thought you have to revoke it when you want to root the phone?

Oops! Misread your question, thought you said root not unroot!
Do you know what radio it had originally? You should be able to find one on the shipped ROMS site.
Sorry
EDIT: By the way, did you make a goldcard? Did it decline it?

i dont remember what radio it had on thier. However, i updated the radio from a link i seen on the Wildpuzzle rom thread.
it oringnally had 3 software on there.
i want to unroot it with debranded firmware.
ive tried this
RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.25.405.1_Radio_13.45.55.24_3.35.15.3
1_release_142189_signed.exe...
and im recieving the error mentioned above
thnk

I assume you have looked here? http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Buzz

Hi, yes thats were i downloaded the firmware.
but im recieving errors when using the update

Do you want Froyo? If you do then this "should" work. HERE
You will NOT be able to re-root on that ROM.
Or if you don't want it then try this Eclair ROM HERE
Give them a try and tell me what happens!
Hope that helps you

Hi, i want to reroot in the future so i wont go for the froyo update.
just to be sure, if i update using the eclair update will i be able to still root in the future?
im still recieving the same error it goes all the way to writing signiture and then just shows the error.

Really sorry, I don't know what it is if that didn't work
I'm assuming the 3 you're on is 3UK? You could try to install it as a gold card if you know how.
EDIT: Here's how to create one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=572683

I just succesfully unrooted the device. After making a Goldcard. djdevine2 your help was much appreciated.
Thanks

You're welcome. I'm still learning too!

[Q] I'm selling my G2 and want to restore to stock without losing root

Basically I want the phone to go back to the "welcome to android" page at the start WITHOUT losing root. Do i just do a factory reset? Will this get rid of root? Does it get rid of CWM?
I have accounts and stuff that i'd rather get rid of myself so the new owner doesn't have to hassle.
Thanks in advance guys, I want the new owner to start fresh, but keep root in case he wants to start adding roms himself.
EDIT: Can I just do a backup, flash a stock rom, see if it works then delete the backup? this way it is technically a "fresh start" but without any of my accounts, right?

if you are running a rooted rom you can factory reset without losing root

Well right now im running the stock rom but the phone is rooted, does that make a difference?

i rooted my fone a few months ago and all of a sudden it says s-on and it wont let me unroot. wat can i do??

Can anyone chime in? I'm selling the phone in a few hours and I still have my main account synced to the phone, will restoring to factory from the factory rom UNroot the phone? I don't want this to happen. What are my options?

I would just reflash the ROM your using and clear your SD card of personal things. I just did this with my HD2 running Android and it worked great.

Did you do an OS update? If you dont have root anymore why dont you just go back to the start and try your luck again?

The problem is i'm running the stock vanilla froyo rom that came with the phone. I dont have a backup that doesn't already have my main gmail account already synced to the phone.
Should I just download another stock vanilla original OEM 2.2 rom and flash over this one? then delete any backups of my old rom (the original)?

Forget about stock, just download CM7 and flash it

Thats not a bad idea, does netflix work with cm7?
Also I was having problems with a few 2.3.3 roms making my usb transfer incredibly slow, the only roms that didn't do that were virtous (sense) and stock froyo... I dont want to sell the phone with a rom that makes the usb port un-usable...
Edit: Forgive all the questions, usually I would do my research but this is super last minute, all I want is for the phone to be stock without my gmail account synced and still rooted so that the new owner can choose roms as he likes.

You know, I couldnt say about netflix. I was running meXdroid and netflix was fine. I flashed CM7.1 RC yesterday and can not seem to login. Reading comments in the CM7 thread it seems netflix is hit or miss. I have never had issues with USB so can not say either way. Why dont you visit the CM7 thread and read some of the comments.

Thanks a lot for the help. I went with just flashing another stock OEM ROM from THIS thread, and so far so good, I got the ODEX version just because I want to make sure that Netflix works, as it is one of my prime selling points. Not very many android phones can play Netflix, and im certainly going to miss that, aswell as the keyboard.
I deleted all of my old backups, so none of my gmail accounts should be on the phone anymore.
I hope this thread helps someone who is trying to do the same thing, its definitely tricky.
In the end I played it safe, but there are certainly many options out there. Thanks for all the help everyone who replied.

nope i didnt do any update and im tryin to return a fone and i gotta bring it bak to stock
