Hello guys
i just need your help. i got the DHD for about 4 months now which i like a lot. but i just can't get over all the processes that run on the background. i like the HTC sense and i would like to keep it.
the big BUT kicks in now though. i know nothing of android and all these s-off, radios, roms etc make my head spin in thousands of rpm.
so, please. can someone tell me what exactly is all these?
i know that a rom is a (let's say) different unofficial version of the given android release. and i know (i think i do) thas s-off and s-on is something about a superuser "account" that let's you uninstall all the programs you don't want like facebook, tweet, stock market etc.
and i think that the radio has something to do with the "version" of the wifi/gsm "transreceiver" the phone has (it sounds like a bios thingy to me)
and to conclude the whole post (cause i'm sure it's tiring)...
i want to root my phone. i don't mind the contacts cause i can back them up (i guess) with a program (i don't know what the best one is since HTC sync just keeps some of the phone numbers and not all of them... :S) which i will find in the market.
so, rooting my phone and the superuser thing is what am looking for.
can someone please help me on that? can i root the phone AND keep the version that is already installed? (stock one)
should i do it? how easy is it to brick the phone and render it useless? and what should i do if it's bricked?
or should i just wait for the 2.3 version to surface with a new rooting procedure?
am on 1.72.405.3 version and i saw on the forum that you have to downgrade to a previous one to be able to root.
am sorry for the big newbie post guys but i would really appreciate your help.
thanks a lot
Cheers !!!
Youre right about the Rom and Radio thingy. S-off means that you are rooted and that you can delete system apps, Flash new roms and can use apps that need Root access. There's Another and that's ENG-S off, meaning that you can flash new radio's ( Improve battery life also!)
Contacts: You can Export them to SD (00001.vcf) And then Import them Back later! Personally i have import it to my Gmail account, because i like flashing roms
Downgrading and S-OFF:

I've you have that done i advise you to flash a Up to date Sense rom. They are tweaked and are better then the downgraded sense rom.

Thanks for the reply mate. However there is another thing that troubles me.
There is this clockworkmod thingy...
What is that? Do I have to install this so I can just install a Rom or is it for something else like a backup etc?..
Sorry for all those questions...
Cheers !!!
P.S. installed the xda app.. nice one.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
If you have rooted with visionary app an s-off, then just download ROM manager app from market and tap to flash clockworkmod. And yes, you need cwm to be able to backup your ROM and flash a custom one.
i did the root thing, installed visionary, permrooted, checked if the root is ok with root check prog from the market and went to flash the rom that was suggested (only cause i know you guys know FAR more than me so i trust you)
installed the clockworkmod rom manager, tried to install the new rom but i get stuck in the red triangle icon
tried to search for help in the forums but i can't find any regarding this.
i think i'm doing it right but..... oh well
anyways, thanks for the help guys. will try to find a solution but am not that optimistic about it.
Cheers !!!

That Red Triangle is the default recovery, not ClockWorkMod Recovery, so something has not been done right.
Do you have S-OFF? as it is needed to flash clockworkmod.
Take Care

i think i have done it but i can't find a way to check it.
am searching for it. it's probably this thing....
i tried once more, flashing cwm recovery and then flashing the rom and i got stuck on the white htc screen
oh well.... gonna keep trying
Cheers !!!
P.S. Tenterden is awesooooooooooooooome
was there a month ago
checked through the "boot menu" (holding volume - while booting)
it says it's s-off
still, while am trying to flash the rom, the white htc screen comes up and i have to remove the battery to reboot....
am i too lucky that it's not bricked?..... :S

When you installed Rom Manager did you give it root permission, when Superuser asked?
Lets say you would be very unlucky if you were to brick it.
Take Care
TheQuest
the same thing.....
i reinstalled rom manager and it didn't ask for any permissions. there was this option to give the program permissions again. did it, it was getting some like 175 permissions, rebooted when asked but still nothing.
the white screen comes up
if i try to do all the steps again from the begining, do i risk to destroy the phone?....
does anyone know?
thanks for your patience...
Cheers !!!
and another thing.....
IF the update is being done and i am lucky enough, how will i know that it IS being updated?
will it come up with something like the "update" i did when i downgraded the version to gain root access and s-off?
Cheers !!!
Assuming you're rooted with S-off and Eng s-off; how are you trying to flash the rom?
ok, narrowed it down a bit....
a bit of history.. s-off and eng s-off are there. superuser icon is there, clockworkmod is there (didn't ask me for permissions when installed but i did "fix permissions" from inside the program, rebooted after being asked).
checked root success with "root check" from the market, done.
now, i get stuck in the white htc screen when i do "flash clockworkmod recovery" and "install rom from SD card"
but i also get stuck on the white screen when i "reboot into recovery"
does this mean something to you guys?
after i installed clockworkmod do i have to do anything else with the program? (i call them programs cause i don't know the actual terminology).
i read somewhere about a clockworkmod "rom" ....????
is this something i need to do? find a cwm rom to install and recover to that?
(god, why isn't this like windows?....... it's SO difficult)
one more time, i apologize for my ignorance and i really appreciate your time spent helping me...
Cheers !!!

i'm trying to flash the rom from within the rom manager.
i do the order of "flash cwm recovery" and "install rom from SD card"
is that incorrect?......
Cheers !!!
It isn't the way i do it.
i always boot into recovery and flash roms from recovery. You should see the option there to do it.
By the way, before flashing a rom from recovery, it would be a good idea to do a full wipe using Full Wipe 1.3 first. This is done from recovery also.
drop your new rom zip and the Full Wipe 1.3 into your sd card, open rom manager (make sure it shows clockwork mod installed) then boot into recovery from rom manager. Run full wipe first then install the rom.
i did that also but again, it stays on the white htc screen like when i choose install a rom from SD card...
i even tried "updating" to wipe everything and bring the phone to the previous state (no root, no rom manager" and did the same things one more time.
but...
i guess i'm not "qualified" to do these things....
Cheers !!!
i have the fullwipe1.3.zip in the SD card but i can't boot into recovery to do it. it stays on the white screen of almost death (i have to take it a bit light cause it'll drive me crazy. hahaha)
Cheers !!!
Are you following these instructions?
Flashing your rom
- Tell any people that might call you during the next 10-15 minutes to not worry
- Connect your phone using "Disk drive" to the computer.
- Copy both your full-wipe-1-3.zip and your rom zip file to your SD Card
- Make sure you copied them correctly
- Check again because once you full wipe, you won't have a rom.
- Disconnect your phone from your computer
- Install and open Rom Manager from the market
- Tap on Flash ClockworkMod Recovery
- Wait for it to download (yes, you need a wi-fi or data connection)
- After it is done press "Reboot into recovery"
- If you get an icon with a phone and an exclamation mark in a triangle, remove the battery from your phone, reboot and then flash the clockworkmod recovery again
- Once you are in the clockwork mod recovery, you may use the volume keys as directional keys (up and down) and the power button may be used as Enter.
- I recommend you do a nandroid back-up. You must have at least 1 gb of free space.
- Select "Install Zip from sdcard"
- Select "Choose zip from sdcard"
- Select full-wipe-1-3.zip (It's right under those folders)
- Confirm by selecting the Yes option in between those "NO"s
- Wait for it to finish
- DO NOT REBOOT!!! In case you were not aware, you now have no rom installed
- Once again select "Install Zip from sdcard"
- Select "Choose zip from sdcard"
- Select your rom zip file
- Confirm your selection (just like with the wipe)
- Wait for it to finish
- Please reboot from the recovery menu and flash nothing else before you have rebooted
- Pop a champagne bottle, because it's done.
Taken from wid0w's instructions.
yup, done this. but again, when i boot into recovery, the white screen comes up.
i have read that there may be a problem with the rom manager (with some devices) and i may need to "downgrade" the version of it..... could this be the reason?
but i don't know if i can find a previous version
Cheers !!!

Guide To rooting mytouch 3g 32b (Even if you have 1.6 update)
Propz to:Amon_RA, andreev2001, Cyanogen, and any one else sources I used
Ok after Searching the forums and finding all types of ways to root a Mytouch and having some/no luck I decided
to created a thread that goes into complete detail(or try to at least) about each step that is guaranteed to work if done correctly.
READ
This guide does not require a goldcard or adb . I am also not responsible for bricked/broken phones. Now since that's out of the way happy rooting!!
IF your phone is currently running 1.5(cupcake) already then skip to step 3
1.First of all we can't really do anything with 1.6 so we must downgrade to 1.5 by downloading this sappimg.nph and installing it
2.Once downloaded put it on your sdcard and reboot and go into hboot mode (Hold END+VOLUME DOWN). Preform the update
3.Once update is COMPLETLY finished and it asks you to reboot. Do so, then load your phone up fully and download this apk here (flashrecovery.apk) then run it.
Skip these steps and go to step 4 if you know how to install a apk
3a.to install this apk you have to enable the install unkown source in your settings. To do this hit menu >Settings>Applications>Unkown Soruces(check this).
3b. After this go to the market and download a app called "Astro" (the description should mention somthing about file manager) or you could use another apk installer but I prefer this one.
4. After installing the apk run it and click on “backup recovery image” let it do what it does then click on “Flash Cyanogen Recovery 1.4″.
5.Once that is done you want to download the SPL by clicking here, then put it on your sdcard. After that download any ROM(If you dont know what a ROM is search, I cant tell you everything ) of your choice and rename it "update.zip" without quotes then place it in your sdcard
6.Reboot your g1 and hold down the "HOME" key and it should bring up the flash image recovery screen. Choose apply any zip from sd and then choose "update.Engineering-SPL-HBOOT-1.33.2005-signed.zip". It finishes almost immediately with message saying successfully flashed(if it doesn't you prolly ate to much chicken ).
7. Then after it is installed select the restart option and then load into fastboot mode (Hold "BACK" arrow key while its restarting). Once fastboot is loaded the SPL info should say HBOOT-1.33.2005 (SAPP30000). If it does congrats almost there!!!!! If it doesn't, you did somthing wrong and you need to retrace you're steps.
8.Exit fastboot by hitting the "GREEN" button and before the phone boots up hold the "HOME" button and then go to "apply sdcard:update.zip". Let it install and VOL LA you installed your ROM. Preform a reboot and you will now have a rooted phone with a custom ROM
1) thanks for posting, ive tried to follow other instructions over the past few days to no avail
2) any chance of hosting the sappimg.nph file somehwere else? I cant access rapidshare from my phone. I would greatly appreciate it.
OMG SOOO EASY!!!! Mods should sticky this as the new root / rom upload process
I was running android 1.6 on tmobil mytouch 3g with perfected spl 1.33.2006
@ascis sure ill host the files on my website later (im not @ home right now)
@nonmindo thanks and i hope u had a easy time rooting

Thanks for posting - much appreciated. Can I ask what the benefit of changing the SPL is? Is this required?
My concern is regarding warranty - if I flash a new SPL, it is my understanding that I will not be able to flash my current one back, and hence return the phone to stock if the need arises.

Yes, it is required. You cannot root with the MT3G SPL, so you need to change the SPL.

You can flash it back to the original SPL. You would then be unrooted. Look at Amon_RA's original rooting process with Gold Card. At the bottom, he gives directions on how to return your phone to the unrooted state in case you need to do that.
Thanks, I thought with one-click-root, once you'd got the recovery rom flashed, you were done - that you had root and could flash what you liked.
For the record, I'm Voda 32B, but have perfected SPL .0007.
[EDIT] Yes, that thread has a file to return to stock, but only for MT3G, which is why I am hesitant to flash a new SPL to my device.
I've still seen in lots of places mind, that suggest this process works without the flashing of a new SPL. Such as: http://www.ryebrye.com/blog/2009/08/16/android-rooting-in-1-click-in-progress/
[EDIT]
What happened to the ability to format and
and put partitions from the recovery? I just got another Mytouch and rooted it and no ability to put the partions from the recovery mode? I think I had version 1.2 and now I have 1.4

You still can, but not with the recovery img ur using wirch is cyanogen 1.4. Just flash amans new recovery img and you will be able to partion
4. After installing the apk run it and click on “backup recovery image” let it do what it does then click on “Flash Cyanogen Recovery 1.4″.
backup failed:I received that could not run command

I have rooted my myTouch3G with the 1-click method (twice actually, needed to take it to the store), and I have the perfected SPL 1.33.2006.
The main issue with this SPL is that it does not allow you to use fastboot. As far as I know, this has nothing to do with root access.
Can confirm that I've performed the OP's procedure but *without* flashing a new SPL, and everything is working fine.
Now running CyanogenMod 4.2.2 w/ CM Recovery 1.4.
Does anyone have the link to the partitions recovery? I tried to put the Hero recovery on and it does not want to come on and I still show the Cyanogenmod v1.4 +jf....someone help
Also in the top it has Andriod system recovery (2)? I did it twice, how do i take one off?

Hi guys,
just hoping one of your knowlegable forum members may be able to assist or shed some light on why I am experiencing this.
I have successfully rooted and loaded custom roms on my desire.
wife has a htc wildfire, rooted with oneclick root and gold card
hboot 1.o s off
customised rom installed, SU no problems
I cannot load alpha 1.8 on wildfire, (they say version 2)
so rom manager is loaded, flashed the clockwork mod and tried boot to recovery and backup current rom, both result in being taken to the standard htc recovery with no other options (restore etc).
boot to hboot and recovery option aslo lands me back at the standard recovery option, i reboot to current rom no probs.
i have uninstalled/reinstalled rom manager, fixed permissions, get eror when trying to load earlier versions of clockwork in rom manager/ nothing changes?
any thoughts guys? i want to backup this rom before trying something else and losing it.
TX in advance
Col
Have you tried the fastboot method to flash recovery since you have s-off? You can find clockworkmod 3.0 or amonra in the development section in the thread somewhere.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
tx for the reply, i will check it out this evening
Col
I really doubt that fastboot method will work, because it seems you must have eng hboot with normal hboot it won't work. I had a similar situation with hboot 1.01.0001 that was made s-off and in the end I've managed to flash recovery with flash_image tool. Just follow these steps

Of course its gonna boot into the rom...
while the phone is off, hold the volume down button, and press power button while holding the vol down button. white screen with android skateboarders should appear, with several options. wait for it to scan for pc49img, it will say nothing found, its okay. with volume buttons navigate to recovery and press power button.
not that hard eh?
if it doesnt work now, then you have no recovery? no problem. flash one with fastboot mode!

Thanks for the info, but yes I did do that (holding the volume down button and power on) I have gone into recovery loads of times before - so I do know that already LOL. I should have said that.
tried flashing another one through fastbbot i.e. with latest revolutionary for wildfire, still no luck - it just crashes, saying that I may have too high a firmware - but it definately has root - I have titanium running and it backs up and restores perfectly on a CUSTOM rom.
It was just that after I installed rom manager and installed the latest recovery is when everything went wrong.
Even trying to get to recovery through the rom, i.e. clicking on reboot into recovery via rom manager, still just rebooted straight back into the rom
I have tried flashing another via fastboot using revolutionary, but it says that maybe my firmware is too high - even though I have a rooted rom running

I am not getting you here. Revolutionary is a 1 time process to get S-OFF. After that, you need not touch it again to perform functions. How exactly are you trying to install a Recovery using Revolutionary and Fastboot?
Or did you mean Unrevoked? (This does not have anything to do with Fastboot though)
@smokzye - That is a bit "outdated". You do not need the SDK. Just the 4 files in this attachment:

Thanks guys for all your help.
I managed to get recovery back by using "revolutionary-0.4pre4" - I think it's an version of revolutionary, but it sorted it, and now I can boot into recovery. It did at first say that I already have S-OFF and questioned whether I knew what I was doing - LOL, but after that it asked whether I wanted to install a recovery and it put on Clockwork recovery dl'd from the internet.

When you wipe and flash, your phone will be clean, like new.
If your phone is already rooted, you do not need to downgrade. Just proceed to S-OFF. You can read what it is from many sources, just use search or scroll through some sticky guides.
Just follow the rom flashing guide, there is no need to confirm every step here.
You do not need to connect the SD into PC directly, you can do it via USB, use disk drive mode in your phone.
Follow the S-off guide and maybe the eng-off (For radio flashing)
1) Does you're phone have superuser on it? If no you can download it from the market.
2) Next download Rom manager from the market, flash the new Recovery (1st option in the app) (superuser needed)
3) Download: Fullwipe 1.3 ( you can find that in the dev section ) an put it on you're SD (You can use USB Sorage option as well)
4) Download the rom that you like from the Dev section and put it on you're SD
5) Power down you phone, then once it turned off hold volume - and then press power till you get a bootloader screen, Select recovery. ( use the volume keys to scroll and the power key to select)
6) Once in recovery choose "Install zip from sd" and select Fullwipe 1.3 and flash it.
7) After that you do the same, but now select you're rom.

Follow the S-off guide and maybe the eng-off (For radio flashing)
1) Does you're phone have superuser on it? If no you can download it from the market.
2) Next download Rom manager from the market, flash the new Recovery (1st option in the app) (superuser needed)
3) Download: Fullwipe 1.3 ( you can find that in the dev section ) an put it on you're SD (You can use USB Sorage option as well)
4) Download the rom that you like from the Dev section and put it on you're SD
5) Power down you phone, then once it turned off hold volume - and then press power till you get a bootloader screen, Select recovery. ( use the volume keys to scroll and the power key to select)
6) Once in recovery choose "Install zip from sd" and select Fullwipe 1.3 and flash it.
7) After that you do the same, but now select you're rom.
8) reboot and enjoy you're new clean rom (Y)

Do radio S-OFF, and if you want to flash radios, you should do ENG S-OFF too. The ENG S-OFF can be done in any ROM, so it is not necessary to do it just now.
You have the stock kernel.

You have your current rom, should everything go tits up, you will be able to restore to your current rooted status
, without a backup you'll have to start again from scratch
Nandroid backup can be replaced by any custom ROM + full wipe, so it is not that important actually. I have never made a nandroid backup, because I just do not feel like I need one.
It is good for people who want to keep a copy of their stock ROM, or backup a custom ROM which has already been set up nicely.

hi
im new too,
just flashed Revolution HD beta 4
Ok, I didn't want to start a thread but I have search for three hours and tried numerous things and i'm confused.
I need an IDIOTS guide to unrooting my phone.
I did a nandriod backup and I have my Standard ROM, I had clockwork but that is gone.
All I want now is the Root gone so I have a standard HTC Wildfire back
I am on Vodafone, UK.
Any help appreciated, i've searched through all the guides downloaded loads of stuff and tried flashing it and it all fails, there seems to be many ways this might work but I can't get passed half of the steps.
If someone could please give me a hand it would be much appreciated.
1.) Create a Gold Card. Follow this guide: http://android.modaco.com/content/general-discussion/305672/creating-a-goldcard/.
2.) Download a RUU that fits your demands and make sure it starts with 2.xx from here: http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Buzz. I recommend you to download this one: http://shipped-roms.com/download.php?category=android&model=Buzz&file=RUU_Buzz_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2_22_405_1_Radio_13_55_55_24H_3_35_20_10_release_160191_signed.exe because that one is indicated WWE, so it should work world wide.
3.) Install it on your phone using PC. (The file you downloaded should be .exe so you just have to plug your phone to PC in charge only mode and start the .exe you downloaded).
4.) Follow the steps provided by the application.
5.) Wait for it to install. Done.
The file you download must start with 2.xx because that is Froyo (Android 2.2) and that will overwrite your Hboot and remove the root access.
Hit thanks if I helped you.
I think if you do a nand backup before rooting, just restore it with clockworld

This should help
I am right now looking at the gold card and I need a spare micro SD? Can this be done on the standard phone SD or does it need to be on the micro SD?
Also if I just found the newer version of android and kept the root and flashed the updated rom onto my phone, i know it would still be rooted but it'd be like a normal phone again.. right?
Pulling my hair out now.
This is so frustrating.
I cant download a .zip to the phone as it aborts and I can't flash the standard RUU because I don't have a gold card thing?
I don't know whether or not its safe to use my phone SD card or do I need a new one?
Surely theres a simple way around this! I.e Download and flashing the standard rom to the phone and it just working? I am on the standard ROM now with root, I am happy to have the root I just want the updated firmware!
What happened to your Clockworkmod Recovery? You might want to get that back, because it is the only way you can then install Zip files. Can you provide more details? Is your Wildfire S-OFF? Are you on Android 2.1?
Refer Part 5 of the 1st post of this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1029318
The Safe Flash ZIPs of all Froyo RUU's is what you should be looking at. They are the untouched stock Froyo ROM, with only the bootloader and radio removed. But, you'll obviously need Clockworkmod Recovery to run it.

I don't know, how would I find out? I recovered back to december when my phone didn't have clockworkmod. It was just rooted.
So do I need to reflash the clockworkmod onto my phone? Or is there a way of getting it back?
What is S-OFF? (Sorry..) and yeah, I think it's 2.1.
So once I get clockworkmod and run a RUU with a stock rom on it, It will be gone of the clockworkmod rom? And the root? or just the rom?
Thanks!
Interesting how you have root without Clockworkmod. AFAIK, its not possible. Do you see a Superuser Icon on your App Drawer?
If you are still on 2.1, to get back Clockworkmod, you will have to use Unrevoked. Guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824396
Also, if your ultimate goal is removing Clockworkmod and Root and getting official 2.2.1, dont bother with getting Clockworkmod. Just make a Goldcard and flash the RUU then. Yes, flashing an RUU will remove root and Clockworkmod. Also, Goldcards can be any SDCard, including the one included with the phone. But, before using it as a Goldcard, make sure to take a backup because it will have to be formattted.
Tbh, my overall goal was just to get rid of the ROM as it was buggy, and got worse and worse to the extent I couldn't take or watch videos, crashed a lot, etc. etc. Wouldn't download from the market half the time
I'm happy to just leave it rooted, I just want the easiest option to getting the latest update and having the phone "normal" again
I will try what you have said in the first option, if not i'll use my SD card and get cracking
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788776
Can I use that to get unrevoked?
I still have the root, is that clockworkmod? As in, I hold down the volume down key and get the menu, I just don't know what to do with it.. Does that help?
Yes, I would recommend that as well. Simply clockworkmod and root will not affect or detract from the stock experience of your phone at all. Also, it will leave the door open for future modifications and customization, if the need arises.
EDIT: Yes you can use that guide as well. Same thing really. Clockworkmod and Root are two different things. Clockworkmod is a Custom Recovery (When you hold down Vol Down and Power Button, Navigate to RECOVERY using the Volume Key, and Press the Power Button on the RECOVERY word. If Clockworkmod opens, you have it. If it doesn't , and you get an image of an Android with a Red Triangle, you haven't got it).
Root is simply the presence of the Superuser binary, and can be determined by the fact if you have a "Superuser" icon in your main app drawer.

Ok I spent the time to go through this properly step by step and search for the stuff that made no sense in making a gold card and finally! I'm done.
Thanks a lot for all your help Just now waiting for it to register that theres an update so I can have the latest android firmware again as i'm still running on what it was on when I bought it haha
Hey Guys,
at first, i hope this question isnt coming again and again, but i couldn't find anything helpful (for ME!) yet.
I have the HTC HD2 and got really tired of Windows Phone 6.5, so i changed it to Android. (Took me weeks to figure that out until it worked)
My current ROM:
Android 2.2 HTC Desire
Kernel 2.6.32.15 by cotulla
I use Magdlr and boot from NAND.
Superuser Elite is installed (bought it), but i cant update it - no matter what i do, it wont let me be root. I even tried the terminal, but when i type in "su" it directly says "permission denied". The problem is, my phone memory is low and i cant install apps directly on the sd-card (never found a guide how to get this automatically done).
What can i do??
i am rly desperate... the sad thing is, my boyfriend (yes, i am a girl) isnt much into smartphone stuff though he's got the new htc sensation - and also not into unix / linux systems - it seems all the guys i know besides only use an iPhone and google won't be my friend...
PLS PLS PLS HELP ME!
oh and sry for the bad language, grammar etc - i'm german ;-)
that is an old, out of date rom. It was the first proof of concept release when cotulla created magldr, so i would advise you to move to a different more recent rom. (We now have roms running android 2.3, 3 and even some early android 4 roms.)
There are very very few roms that flash in quite the same way, now, so you would need to learn about flashing CWM(clockwork, clockworkmod, clockwork recovery, it has several names)
Go get the 'android toolkit' from the android nand section, and then go read some of the guides from HERE

does it have app2sd built in the rom?
does the rom need sd-ext?
are you using tmobile or eu hd2?
MORE U EXPLAIN,MORE HELP U GET LOL
for a start,download link2sd from the market its free and easy to use,open the app,choose ext2,if a error msg appears,IGNORE IT for now and click on any app thats moveable u want to move to see if that works 1st
Old, outdated ROM with no root access. Use a newer one.
Yep its an old ROM. Don't worry though, you'll be able to redownload superuser on a new ROM. Just do what Sam says and it'll work fine. Surprised you even knew that you could flash android on to the hd2, because "you're a girl".
= What are you even doing asking whether or not you should root your phone on XDA?! =
ok guys thank you for the detailed informations!
i didnt know the rom is outdated - i guess installing a new one is the best idea in that case. i thought of that before, but it took me so long to get this one working so i wasn't in the mood for re-installing yet.
THANK YOU all, i will let you know if it worked - in case i cant fix this, would someone be able to help me via teamviewer?

I'm pretty sire you won't need to give remote access, you'll be able to do it. All you'll need is the latest magldr 1. 13 (if I'm not mistaking)
Once you've got that, you just need to flash the clockwork mod daf file from usb flasher on magldr, then when you flash into clockwork its easy, just flash a zip file.
You can backup ROM's etc. from clockwork so its really convenient.

I totally crashed it!!
Hi Guys - it has happened
i totally crashed my hd2.
what i did:
i read the guides and got the newest android nand toolkit. so, i performed task29 and installed hspl, then clk. the problem now is: i cant do anything else! when i boot, i get this white clk screen where i can choose recovery normal or sboot. i cant repartition, my phone has no connection when i switch into the mode "with the 3 colours"... so - i can copy to sd card what i want, i can perform every task with the toolkit, even the backup rom for the original windows phone doesnt help because it says: "pls check that you're phone is connected via usb". my pc has the android usb drivers, it shows the device, all ok. i cant go into usb flasher because it seems, no magldr is installed - i tried and tried so many things and now i cant even perform a wipe.
seems i need to give you remote access anyway....
PLEASE! help me!
if you need screenshots i will upload them, just let me know.
Start from the beggining by reflasing with the 3 colours on the screen, im no expert and I use magloader not clk, so try doing a fresh one with magloader and see how it goes

Plug the phone into the PC. Hold the back arrow key after turning the phone on to boot to fastboot . Then either try flashing Cwm via the NAND toolkit or do it manually through fastboot.
P. S. Did you install a radio?
