[Q] Bad Rootedupdate? <Solved> - Legend General

Hi all,
I've been trying to root my legend again (had to unroot it after the first time because I got stuck in a boot loop..)
But now I get stuck at the last step; flashing rootedupdate.zip
Let me first say that everything upto running step2-windows.bat went well, except for step2-windows.bat being unable to write rootedupdate.zip to my sdcard (I/O error).
So I manually copied it to the sd-card to be able to flash it.
However, it now gives me an error, saying
"E: Can't open /sdcard/rootedupdate.zip (bad)"
Does anyone recognize this or know what might cause this? I've tried different rootedupdate.zips, from different locations, but keep getting the same error.

Try download any other rooted rom.. just flash the other rom instead..

Where to find another rooted rom then?
I've already tried different rootedupdate.zip files, since that's the rooted rom always used in guides.

Just flash CM or B or any other from dev forum.

I'm trying to do so now, but I now get stuck at the second step itself. It gives me the following output in my command line;
Code:
Legend Root Step 2
Pushing required files to device...
error: protocol fault (no status)
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -
Pushing update file to device sdcard - this may take a few minutes...
- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -
To give some more details;
- HBOOT 1.01
- Android 1.31 is running
- Goldcard succesfully created (even re-did this to be sure)
- Step 1 completed succesfully (as far as I can see)
Does anyone know how to solve this?

Just follow the instructions for fake-flash.

problem rooting tattoo

I have made a goldcard which seems to work fine but when I run rootTattoo i get lots of errors such as no memory left and out of space. Anyone had a similar problem ?
Nope...worked fine for me back then...did u insmod tattoo-hack.ko?
No i did not what should i do ?
Well no originally i ran a batch file that has all of the commands but it did not work , then i tried manually and when i tried to change perms on the m7 file, "adb chmod 755 /data/local/bin/m7" i get a permissions error ? and hence the later changes do not work.
I have this problem with my phone when i first got it and when i updated to the offical orange rom from the htc site
and the only way i could get over it was to flash the htc wwe-rom download (goldcard needed)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=603286
its at the bottom of the first post then i rooted with iclick and all worked...
hi

[Q] SuperOneClick

Is there anyone who has tested superoneclick? Just wondering if it works at Legend.
If No one has tested it, I'll run a unroot and test it, when I get home today

Hi,
Looking through TheUnlockr.com (Who has written about the program), a comment shows that it may work.
See the comment from s.bryan, it says about his HTC Legend on Bell, which has been unlocked running 2.1 update 1.
It says he encountered an error with almost 140mb free?
I believe this may be caused by the SU file, as going down the comment it says that it had already successfully been mounted as Read-Write memory, and then the program reverts back to Read-Only memory as the SU file couldn't be pushed onto the phone?
Hope this helps,
TS
As best I can tell, it does not work. I am running RUU 2.03.405, and it says that it rooted, but everything else fails. I installed TiB, but it does not acquire root privileges, even after a reboot. I am going to try one more time and then take a mulligan.

It didn't even appear to do that. The only part of the process that succeeds is running rageagainstthecage, which I don't think is enough for even soft root.
Ty for your answers, i guess il just skip trying SuperOneClick then..
I was thinking, it may work as soft root, after using downgrade guide from LAD forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=725430

I did, and it didn't work.
I tried it on my Mytouch Slide and it did not work. Everything in superoneclick completed OK, but after my phone restarts, there is no root access icon in the app drawer. I also downloaded an app from the market that requires root and it didn't recognize my phone as being rooted.
I'm going to try it now, I was trying it but realised I didn't have .net 2.0+ installed... that's how lean my PC is! I haven't installed anything that requires .net and I had not even thought about installing or checking it before because I assumed it was on lol
Will report back in a few minutes, got 10 seconds before .net 2.0 is downloaded...
EDIT: the link from theunlockr is for 32BIT .net 2.0... now I have to download .net 64BIT doh!
Hope you'll make it.....

New method to Root?

Just wondering if there will be a new method of rooting. Like the one click method over at android central which does not work since the DIO1 update. All the other methods require all kinds of command prompt.
Swyped via Fascinate.
the one click root method that has been there since the beginning is easy all you do is download the file unzip it and click start root. cant get much easier then that
Yeah, I can confirm that one click root still works for me on the DIO1 update.
If for some reason once click root isn't working on your PC, just do the manual adb method, its really the same thing.
Super one click root works for almost everything, including the fascinate

One click root didn't work for me, I could write a new one for you, but honestly the manual adb method is pretty easy you just copy and paste the commands.
I always get the same device not found for me.

Just Odin cwm, and flash superuser from chainsDD.
Flash CWM. Have root. Install su / busybox if necessary.
I'm sorry but that doesn't work for me.

I'm sorry but yes flashing clockwork with Odin does work for u. And unfortunately if using Odin doesn't work u need to stop and forget about root. Likely u don't have the drivers correctly installed. I would put money on it. Especially if u have windows7. Odin can And will work EVERY SINGLE TIME.

I'm sorry its just I rooted the X with no problem and now this is giving me a hard time. if your could just point me in the right direction that would be great. sorry for the trouble.
and i'm have vista
also when i plug my phone in it says the device drivers were installed successfully and are ready to be used...
1.download odin and odin files for the cwmkernel and recovery.
2.turn phone off, hold down the vol. down button only and plug phone into pc. this well put you into download mode.
3. open odin and click the pda button and flash the kernel then flash the recovery.
4.while in recovery either push your files or flash on of the roms with root and everything in it

If rooting via manual method is too complicated for you perhaps you shouldn't be rooting your phone. No offense but we have had a lot of people not knowing what they're doing and soft bricking their phones. They can't fix it because they don't know what they did.

works with dI01
I followed these instructions here to the dot:
h ttp://forum.androidcentral.com/fascinate-roms-hacks/33899-how-root.html
I got my phone just over a week ago, came with DI01 on it..
It took me three tries using the one click method, as I was getting device not found errors.. The time it worked, I had just rebooted PC and phone
When your phone restarts be sure to unlock it as fast as you can.. that seemed to help mine as well.
You can just manually do a adb install same as one click
Also make sure you have drivers installed

I'm sorry, but i tried what you suggested but I receive the same message. One thing i did forget to mention is that its an Apps2SD rom, do i necessarily have to partition the SD card or will that not matter. Another thing is if I ultimately decide to flash a DAF Rom, will this message have any effect on the DAF flash?
No that wouldn't matter at all. It would still recognize the USB and flash it. Judging by your name, are you using OSX?

same thing happened with me the first time I flashed anything,
First, flash a ROM using MAGLDR USB Flasher, or DFT whatever,
Second, you have CWM downloaded, make sure you actually have copied the 'copy to sd root' folder to your SD
next you should be able to flash CWM in USB Flasher mode again, reboot and check your ROM still works.
If it does, then boot to MAGLDR, scroll down to AD Recovery, and install the ROM from .zip
Oh and make sure its actually a HD2 ROM, I tried installing a desire ROM and got a similar error to what you're getting.
I recommend Ultimate Droid 3.1.1!

Thanks for that useful information , ill have to try that rom out. But i figured out what went wrong. Ok so i downloaded the .zip from the apple store, since my phone was useless and i tether it to my comp since i dont have access to high speed land internet but i do get hspda, so anyways when the download finished, safari automatically decompressed it and thats not exactly what i wanted, so i compressed it myself thinking it would be the same thing. Well i re-downloaded the rom today with chrome and that seemed to worked perfectly. The only problem i have now is that idk why my phone is saying out phone storage, when i have the 1024 hd2, and apparently i didnt format my sd card properly so it doesnt see it as internal storage. So now i have to fix that, any more suggestions would be highly appreciated.
If you need to, back up everything from your sd, then use this program called SD Formatter, I think that's it, Google it! And then format to FAT32, mine used to only show 128mb of the 16GB sd, did that and it showed it all, really good program

Major problems with downgrading GB ROM

I am trying to downgrade from stock GB 2.3.3 ROM.
My SD card has now disappeared when i tried to put the PD98img.zip file on it.
When i tried to change from USB charging to disk drive there isn't any option anymore for disk drive.
However the SD drive and it's contents is shown in Astro file manager, very strange
I did this as per instructions:
1. Download Gingerbreak, and install it. Then tap root button.
2. You might get force close errors, just click the force close button and let Gingerbreak do it's job
3. Gingerbreak will, in the end, usually say that something went wrong. Just leave it open in your phone, and connect your phone to a PC. Charge only, USB Debugging enabled!
4. Open up a cmd and go to Downgrade folder, execute commands: (after command "su", allow SuperUser in phone)
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell
su
If you got "#" in the result, you have temporary root! Proceed with commands:
Code:
cd /data/local/tmp
./misc_version -s 1.31.405.6
Next step is to put the PD98img.zip file on SD card so i tried to change the USB connection but the option is gone to connect to the SD.
Also when i go to Settings my SD card is not available, the system can not see any SD and i can't mount it either, it's gone.
What should i do now?
put the SD into ur pc, simples
Take out the sd card and reinsert it.
Then put the PD file on the SD card before beginning the process.
I rebooted it now and now i can choose USB disk drive.
What is the cause this was happening in the first place? somehow Gingerbreak did something.
I think it was trying to remove things whilst still mid adb shell.
[EDIT] Said something that wasn't quite right so removed, thanks for the heads up jkoljo.

That is incorrect, gingerbreak also works without S-OFF, like in the downgrade guide. The difference is, with S-OFF you get permanent root, and without it only temporary, which is enough for downgrading.

what, with gingerbread or downgrading.... in my case, both.
gingerbreak will say its attempting, let it go into standby, then go back to using the phone, gingerbreak will say there's an error, reboot the phone..... you're rooted.
If you want to go downgrade, just use the RUU, it overides everything (something that the recovery tool isnt able to do when using the p98img.zip)
Downgrading and rooting with simple steps and no code entry, Made it, and it works for the Telus DHD and Inspire 4G
(Our Telus DHD's are the exact hardware twin of the Inspire 4G; unlike the Euro/Asian DHD's which have different radio controllers)
My trouble is getting su to work. Gingerbreak gets to the error message and when I "adb shell " to the phone it will not accept su. (Permission denied)
What ruu are you referring to? I tried 1.32 and 1.84, and they both fail.
I attempted to use the ruu downloaded from the link in the previous post and it failed saying bootloader version error.
Any thoughts?
success!!!
Had an old version of superuser installed from the telus dhd permanent root files that I previously downloaded. Uninstalled superuser and downloaded from market.
Also had phone unplugged from pc while running gingerbreak. previously left it plugged in through whole procedure.
Hope this helps someone else.
