[Q] Rooting, tips.:!

Hello,
I have got a HTC Tattoo (Un-rooted) with The HTC standard rom.
And i wants to ask som Questions to you guys!
1. i got This Error when i tested the 1 click root and what should i do??
2. What i a Recovery imagine like "RA-Tattoo-v1.6.2" and why does i need one??
3. Im a Norwegian and i wants a FroYo ROM with Norwegian language, has "[ROM] SP-FroYo v1.6" that?
4. What can go wrong with the rooting has anyone lost their tattoo??
5. Gold card?? My phone is not operator locked, does i need one then?
6. how to test about the goldcard is working??
7. Is live wallpaper working in 2.2 Rom's For Tattoo?
Thanks! (srry bad english)

1. have you enabled usb debugging on your device? Have you installed the Android SDK?
2. You need a recovery to install new roms and make backups of your complete system with all your settings and apps.
3. I think you can install morelocale on that rom. So yes it should be possible. But you should know that not everything is working on 2.2 and 2.1 roms. The most important thing is the camera that is not yet functioning. But there are many custom 1.6 roms where anything is working and which have some advantages compared to stock.
4. I don't think there is much that could go wrong with this rooting script if follow the introductions. Later when you flash new roms you should always make a Nandroid-Backup in your recovery. You never know if there are problems with the new rom. You go to recovery by shutting down your phone and then push home and power button till recovery menu appears. Unless you flash a new radio you can't brick your phone.
5. You don't need one.
7. I think it is but I never tried out by myself.

Yes there is a recovery in it. You mean Simlocked or what kind of locked. If yes put a Simcard of an other provider in your phone and you will see it. If you didn't buy at a provider's shop it's probably not simlocked.
I know the camera is not that good and not even comparable to your real camera. But there are several apps that use the camera like reality browsers, barcode scanners, google shopper and goggles. But if you think you don't need that and if you don't need HTC Sense the rom you mentioned is surely a good choice. If you want guides go to the unlockr.com

Thanks Man!

help my hero

hi guys.
at first i should say:excuse-me for my bad English
1:i root my hero successfully
2:i flash the froyo2.2 rom version 1.2.1 successfully
i install an app and then i restart my hero
and now problem is starting...my hero cant boot itself
i hard-reset it/but this way cant help my hero to boot itself/
what should i do now with my hero?
plz help.

Flash a different (or newer version) of a custom rom. Sounds like something went wrong.

in this situation can i flash another rom?
anybody suggest any way?whit flashing new rom it will be done?

Yeah, what BTDAG said.
Turn it off,... Turn back on into recovery (HOLD HOME + POWER) then flash a new ROM.
It may have been that your download corrupted, you could just try downloading the same ROM again or try another.
Worry not,...

tnx bro...
i fix my hero with ur help

[Q] After Froyo Update Touchscreen won´t work.

Hey guys.
I was happy a few minutes ago when i saw that i can upgrade my legend to Froyo (Vodafone) but now my touchscreen isn´t working
Any ideas whats wrong ?
hard resest didn´t help.
I have to say that i startet earlier to downgrade my phone with the tut on this site and i wanted to root but i decided then not to root.
So i installed a RUU from shipped roms.The Ger vodafone one.
I want to use my phone again

Sorry for push but noone an idea?
I don´t know what to do now.

Can you re-install the upgrade? I'd start there...it could be some incompatibility between the rooting files and shipped ROM. You may also consider finishing the rooting procedure and then unroot if you don't want to stay rooted...

the root and unroot idea is good but how can i do it ?
I can´t even start debugging mode.

You can do that by just using the optical trackball...settings/apps/development/

i can´t even unlock my phone.

Press MENU to unlock the screen

When i Press MENU button or any other it doesn´t unlock the screen.
Edit: I can be for sure that the button is working because when i try to unlock my screen the light didn´t turn off when i press Menu button.
Edit: 2 . Got it now working.I called myself

good thinking

hmm bad news...
none of my SD Cards are seen by the phone.
I don´t know why.
I also tried to enable Wifi (just to try) and it also doesn´t work.
is there now any chance to get it working ?

Can you check your kernel version (Settings->About phone->Software information)? I might know what's wrong.

Thanks for your help

That's what I thought but needed to be 100% sure. Your system was updated but boot.img was not. So you have new system and old kernel + initrd. Thatswhy things like Wi-Fi and touchscreen don't work. Can you tell me also which HBOOT are you presently using?

Hey i think your right.
i have 0.43.0001
Radio is 7.08.35.21
You´re a genius
but is it possible to solve the problem myself ?

You most probably have a bad block on boot partition thatswhy boot.img wasn't flashed (I guess). Try a customized kernel (in dev forum) which is smaller and fits boot partition with bad blocks too.

so you belive that i can fix it wothout sending it to the repair ?
That would be awsome
But i´m not sure how to install the kernel.
I found this kernel (it´s yours )

I also found this tut
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=698404
But i can´t use this tut right? because my phone isn´t rooted.
So i searched and i saw this thread

I can´t install Root Manager so how can i do it ?
Have to say : Thank you for your help

Basically if you don't want to root, it would be much easier than following the above. First you need to grab Vodafone FroYo OTA update zip. Inside you will find firmware.zip. Rename it to LEGEIMG.zip and put it to your phone's sdcard. Reboot your phone into bootloader. It should find LEGEIMG.zip and start update. First it should upgrade HBOOT to 1.00 and then everything else except the system which is already the latest version.

thanks going to download. What shall i do now?
And if i can fix it i can root my phone.it´s okay.but how can i do it if i can´t create for example a goldcard?
Edit : Thaks going to try.
Edit 2 : Ok it loaded the zip but now i get an error.CID incorrect.Update Fail!
Does it mean that i easely have to create a coldcard ?

If you want to root afterwards, you should follow this guide...
What's your CID?

ok sorry im a little bit confused but with your help i see hope
So my first question is.
If i want to root later do i have to follow your guide from now on ?
2) I have an goldgard.img from my last try to downgrade my phone.Ist it ok if i format my SD card (the same as last time ) and Patch the Card?
3) i´m not sure what my Cid is.sorry.
Edit: You Are My GOD!
I had the right goldcard file for creating one.And now it is workiiing
Thank you Thank you Thank you
But one question is left.
How can i root now ? With your tut ? or the normal downgrade tut ? I´m not sure if i want to i would like to know .

you can pick any rom for unlocked phone
you just can care about your local language

Ok thank u very much and now return to the main question:
When i download ROM what i need to do to install it on tattoo? i mean i need a tutorial

so far i know.
put it on sd-card(in no ordner.just drag and drop) .restart in recovery and flash the zip-file(but wipe cache and data before)

Download the ROM that was on the phone from the beginning. That is the same ROM that it had the first time you turned it on.
When you download the program, open it. It will guide you through the flashing proces. Be sure to have enough power on the phone as it will not charge while flashing.

Okey guys thank u very much!

You are welcome.

Is your phone even rooted?
And are you still on stock ROM?
If yes there is no need to redownload and do other stuff.. You can just go settings>privacy settings>factory data reset

install rom

[Q] Official Upgrade to 2.2 Norwegian

Hello.+
Most likely there is a thread like this one, but I could just not find it.
So here is my question.
I just want to upgrade my ZTE Blade 2.1 Norwegian to stock 2.2 Norwegian.
How do I proseed? I've never had an Android phone before.
What do I need to know to make this happen?
Sorry if this is in the wrong place or f I'm lost about all of this.
But thanks to anybody who helps me

ok first you will have to root the phone (best to do it through 'Rom manager', which can be downloaded from the app store)
just follow the instuctions on the app (first flash clockwork recovery....)
then click flash rom and it might be on there.
if not, download it from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883700
it should be on there.... i think
then save that on to your mem card
then load in to clockwork recovery (power on and home key) then wipe phone and then flash rom, then find it and click on it.
thats how to change from 2.1 to 2.2 and the languge option should be on the start up of the rom (like when you first turned on the phone in 2.1)
hope this helped, if not just reply and ill try to find a way to help.
