[Q] Wiki root 2.3.3 - G2 and Desire Z General

Hi guys ...firstly Id like to apologize for my english cause iam from slovakia .....
Ok now my problem.... today i finally decided to root my HTC DESIRE Z 2.3.3
Soft.num. : 2.42.405.4
Somewhere i found out that the only working way is according to the wiki it means that firslty i have to downgrade my phone i downloaded ADB installed needed packages .... i did every step according to wiki and when i type "adb devices" to my command promt it says "list of devices attached" and it finds my device.... but when i type "adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp" it says cannot start fre3vo no such a file or directory

it's a simple problem, adb is not finding fr3vo. try moving fr3vo, and the other files you downloaded and extracted, into the same folder where you're running adb from. or if you have adb access set up universally, in the terminal just cd into the directory where you have the files extracted.

Of course I did so but still nothing ..

hmm ok, did you extract all the files after downloading them? that's about all i can think of..
edit; and someties you have to make sure the name of the file hasn't changed since the guide was written.

And I didn't completely understand the second advice maybe my english is inappropriate or my pc knowledge is bad could u explain it a bit closely ?
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda app-developers app

sure, no problem. when you download the files in the guide, you also have to 'extract' them..... you right-click on the files and choose 'extract'... that will make them a folder instead of a zip file, and then adb will find the folder called 'fr3vo'. i hope this helps...

I didn't mean this but the second advice at first post
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda app-developers app

oh, i just meant that you can set it up so that adb will work no matter which directory you are in. in that case, in the terminal you run adb in the folder where you have fr3vo and the other files extracted. this is sort of the proper way, but i do not have mine set up this way.
unfortunately it's hard to know why adb is not finding the files.... but i'm sure you will get it to work, since you already have adb set up.

I used XP ...I could try it on w7 could it work?
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda app-developers app

i have used Windows 7 successfully. it's worth a try because just doing it over again, maybe things will fall into place properly

Ok thx for ur help ill try it and ill let u know....

Ok cool, I'm sure you'll get it. Sometimes getting adb set up can be tricky for people, but ya got that.

Download the pdf from www.strawmetal.minus.com it has a link to a single package for all files needed to downgrade and root your device.

Thanks bro....
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda app-developers app

omg thanks guys a did everything according to the pdf guide and now iam perma rooted ... omg youre great guys ...now cpuld u tell me what would be the best rom for me ? i want something really fast and responsible .thank u one more time guys

oh guys ive found this one looking really interesting ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1714187 I LOVE ICS so it could be really nice ..what do you think and then another think ..how to flash this rom how i get into recovery ?

power on while holding volume down, select recovery with the power button. wipe everything (in recovery use trackpad to select and scroll) then choose flash zip and follow the op in the thread.
mimicry and elitemod are the two best ics roms I've tried latley although its been months since I used others and I'm sure more are good now as well.
still find myself using gingerbread most of the time though, try a few roms out. do nandroid backups before flashing new ones, but flash a few roms to find out what you like. in the developers section you will find a thread that has links to all of the current roms and many from the past

sry for stupid questions but ... volume down+power ... i should use it when my phone is on or off? ... when i try it when my phone is on it does nothing

now i was just playing i wrote adb reboot recovery to command promt and it worked but i guess this is not proper way

adb reboot recovery. Is a perfect and flawless way to reboot into recovery. Its useful when a rom goes into a bootloop as removing the battery is not advisable(removing battery should be your last resort).
Edit: Don't forget to remove/delete PC10IMG.zip from your sdcard before you use the power + vol.down.

From some on going research by the fine science team here at the XDA research facility it appears as if you may have a bad eMMC.
There are are two different rooting methods ./gfree and root.sh. It's becoming clear that if you have problems with the root.sh method, Which is a scripted out version of what you are trying to do, and if it doesn't work it's most likely your phone has faulty hardware that will not allow it to work properly. IF i were in your shoes i'd get ADB up and running (if you dont already) then look @ the "post your eMMC thread" to see if you have a bad one or not. If you have a good one use the ./gfree method. If you have a bad one i'd reconsider rooting your phone as the chances of bricking goes up alot.
I am only on my first day of having this phone, so if I have a bad one, I could just take it back to tmobile and get a new one for free.
If its good, can I do the gfree on my mac? Cause I dont have windows.

How do I do ADB for MAC?
The thread on here is for windows....
So I went to the T-Mobile store today and got a new one...so this is 2 MT4G's in 24 hours...brought it home...SAME THING
what are the odds off two bad emmc's??? Something's fishy here, wouldn't one think?
can you post the link of the guide your following .Also have u set up adb on mac
I am using "the unlockr's" method to temp root, and then followed by the perm root method...it's in the perm root method that this is happening obviously.
No, trying to get that figured out on how to do it on my mac right now

Make sure that you have both

If those are checked it will not work
also make sure you have ADB debugging turned on

I understand your theory behind wanting to make sure you have root access. But unless you change the /system files to a read/write point it will not allow you to make changes to it. Which is required for the command to work. If it's not working there is a GOOD chance you may have a bad eMMC and i wouldn't advise rooting it.

[Q] Could anyone translate this for me before I flash a radio?

I'm new at this, and I don't want to mess this up..
I hate even having to do this in the first place, but I need to flash a new radio to my phone as my GPS is kaput since I rooted and installed the leaked rooted version of the Gingerbread update (Radio didn't update). However, though I understand how to root and flash a Rom fairly well now, I'm having a little trouble understanding the procedure for flashing a radio. Here's what I intend to follow:
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
How to Flash:
In order for this to work, the HTC Glacier needs to be S-OFF. Flashing the radio with a corrupt file or interrupting the flash, can brick the device, please proceed with caution.
Download the your choice of radio for the HTC Glacier.
Make sure the filename is PD15IMG.zip exactly or it will not work and copy it to the same folder as adb (the /platform-tools folder within the Android SDK folder).
Connect the HTC Glacier to the computer via USB.
On the computer, open terminal and run the following commands:
Code:
adb push PD15IMG.zip /sdcard/PD15IMG.zip
adb shell md5sum /sdcard/PD15IMG.zip
NOTE: The md5 should match up the provide the original download location. If not, redownload & try again.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
The HTC Glacier will reboot & usually boot into fastboot. Pressing the Power button will put the device into the bootloader.
The bootloader will scan for the radio update. Once it finds the update, select Yes.
Allow the bootloader to finish flashing the updated radio, and reboot the HTC Glacier normally.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Questions:
1) "Open terminal" - What is terminal exactly? I see multiple references to this on this site, but no clear explanation of what it is, or where I get it.
2) "The md5 should match up the provide the original download location." - What does this mean exactly, and what am I looking for exactly?
3) Is there anything in settings that should be set in a particular way before I start?
4) Are there any apps or programs that I should have on my phone before I begin that I will need to do this?
5) Is the 3rd Gingerbread radio in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1059347 compatible with this ROM?
Phone information:
T-Mobile MyTouch 4G, unlocked, permarooted, with Wind Mobile Canada.
Android version 2.3.4
Htc sense version 2.1
Kernel version 2.6.35.10-g225de41 [email protected] #1

I'm heading out of town next weekend and I'd like to use my nav app, but it's impossible without the GPS functional, so any help anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated.
This is what I do? I download the radio and then put it on the root of the sd card and then boot in to the bootloader by pulling out the battery and holding the volume down button and power button. Then you just follow what it tells you

Terminal is an app in the market. It allows you to run commands via the phone rather than using adb.
The md5sum is a quality control check to ensure that the downloaded file was not corrupt while downloading, so that if anything changed while downloading the md5sum (kind of a unique serial number) will not match... Search md5sum in the market and choose one to use and then verify the checksum for the files you download with the check sum supplied on the thread, usually above or below the download, if they do not match the the file is corrupt and will not and should not be flashed! Any other questions, feel free to ask and i will try to help!

I second his suggestion. It's much more headache free than all that other stuff you posted. I do suggest you verify the md5 though, just to make sure you didn't get a bad download of the radio.

I went with the Panache radio and my GPS is up and running again, not to mention that my signal is stronger than it used to be. BONUS!
And hboot method was easy as could be, though I suppose I should learn how to use adb if I'm going to continue to muck with my phone.

Yup. Although in this case I searched a lot, and I managed to piece a lot of it together, but I'm still trying to get up to speed on the tools and terminology though. I mean no offense to anyone on here by this, but I found that many of the posts here are written with the assumption that the person reading it has at least a basic understanding of the procedures and terminology, which unfortunately isn't the case with me. I definitely appreciate the help, and I thank where appropriate for sure.

interesting thoughts about simlock on htc wildfire.

ive been thinking lately what with the larger amounts of threads with people asking for simlock (network lock) removal why cant we yet? we have s-off and root.
ive been looking into how the sensation does it and one method is that on a file on the phone the unlock code is just sitting there waiting to be found! and i dont really know how the other one works, it involves flashing a pg58diag.zip and it seems to remove the sim lock like a xtc clip would.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1232107&highlight=xtc+clip
feel free to correct me if im wrong on this but this makes it look easy. even if we cant find the code surly one of us can make a flashable zip to delete the simlock rules like the xtc clip does!
now ive already looked for the *holy file* with the simlock removal code and its not in the wildfire build (from what i can tell, i dont know if you would need to be on stock firmware or not) but with enough patience maby we could find it. i tried to gett root explorer to scan all the files on my internal memory for my imei code but the app just crashed so i may have to look manually, even then it might be kept in with the hboot, or the radio. who knows my point is that surly one of us can crack it? i will try my best and any help would be appreciated
thoughts anyone?
Good idea that, I've started looking too with root explorer to see if I can find my imei with a code above, according to that guide its in mmcblkop6 which doesn't exist on my phone apparently and theres a lot of files to search through, I've searched for that string with terminal but it couldn't find anything. I also searched for mmcblkop1 through to 9 and nothing showed up then either.
Also my phone was unbranded and unlocked when it was bought so I don't know if this would affect my abilities to help you search for the right file or not as it may or may not even be there.

If it helps, the unlock code for my Wildfire was 8 digits long.
Thanks for joining the search I'm thinking that the file name probably wont be the same, but the type of file may be in there somewhere. We need to think of a way to dump the whole internal memory as readable files. I tried breifly to open a nandroid but I can't seem to make the image files readable as just files :-( might try and see if I can contact the guys invloved in doing the sensation to see what kind of file we are looking for and how that zip file works. Also I s-offed by xtc clip so who knows if that file is still there for me

just realised that sdmaid (app) has a function that allows you to search for words and numbers in files so ive told it to search the whole phone. might take a while

This will extract from nandroids, extract it to a folder on your pc then drag the system.img etc into the application file.
I just had a quick scan through a system.img but I couldn't see /dev/block anywhere so I'm guessing that partition might be locked away from nandroids backups.

ive tried that but it wont open all file types. it wont open the boot for example. ive found something called droid explorer that allows me to search through all the files on the phone through my desktop, so im trying with that for the meantime.
also ive had another though, if some was good enough with the terminal would they not be able to tell the phone to look in its files and folders for the imei number? ive tried but im not skilled enough.
just a thought, what if the information was kept in with the radio information? because why else would htc dev keep the radios locked?

Wouldn't flashing a different radio have locked our phones out of our own sim/network then? I think its gotta be somewhere that is not touched by rooting or any other flashing for that matter!! I don't know lol I'm confusing myself.
Dev/block is found in sys/dev/block ...... haven't a clue what I'm looking for lol.

nice find. ive been looking at these file but they go on forever i tried to remove the file from my phone but root explorer only moves the folder :/
and everything gets altered at somestage :/ is there a bios for the phone aside from the bootloader? and lets think logicaly, what would perform the check to make sure its the right sim?
Found a file that might be interesting!!! System/xbin/blockdev. ?? I don't know I'm way out of my depth here now so think I'll leave it to people who know more. Would be better to know what to look for?

I know that it won't work on mine as the xtc clip deletes/ alters these files so we may need to supercid the phones as the sensations get supercid'd

Bricked my Huawei U8800 Need HELP

Hello Guys,
I have a BIG problem.
I rooted my Huawei U8800 and installed Aurora for it.
Than I tried to update my CWM. After that nothing worked.
When I start my phone I get a BlueScreen. When I connect it to Windows 7 in PinkScreen nothing happens.
Ubuntu also doesnot recognize him. I tried 100 times to update the firmware but it always stops at 1/4 of the progress bar.
We tried many SD Cards and many computers.
Slowly I dispair....
Have someone an idea?!?
What can i do?!?!
Hope for Replys and Suggestions.
Thank U

Try to go to "pink screen" then follow the next instructions:
dropbox.com/sh/s8ajc8a8vv5r3sa/gWY2azAXHE/u8800-51%20ROM%20Flashing%20Tools
In the "back to stock" folder, that's worked for me
(Yes you have to install an "3.9gb" img on your device)

These links did not help me a lot.
I've seen this post before(not the chinese) and i buyed a 512 MB SD card but it did not work.
The progress bar stoped at 1/4 of it again.
Maybe I made something wrong but I could not download the file from mediafire.
It was something like a programm and I did not understand how to download the file from it.
Perhaps you know what to do?!
Thanks anyway for your help:good:

Follow the instructions inside the folder.
You have to press "Vol. + and -" with Power like 3-4sec. to get the pink screen, your pc will recognize the phone

This is not the problem.
I can easily achieve the pink screen and my pc regonizes him, but if he tries to install the HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES drivers he fails.
So the programm also does not recognize the device.
This is my problem in your instruction.

Well, I can give some instractions but there is a issue.If emmc backup isn't from your specific device then you will lost wifi and IMEI.Because of that you must do as a last chance(...)
As I can understand your phone is in locked bootloader (pink screen) state additionally some file on it crash.
Its better flashing B512 has unlocked bootloader.Don't care if stops after 1 step or not.Just flash it and then go in pink screen.Then connect it On your windows os and copy paste pink screen files from your CWM backups.(unzip boot.fat.tar).
Afterwards pull out battery disconnect USB, reconnect battery and go to cwm (...)

Thank you for your fast reply.
So you think I should do this:
1. Flash B512 (If is stops of not unimportant)
2. Go connect in Pink Screen on Windows
3. Copy the files in the image foldner.
4. Pull out battery
5. Disconnect USB
6. Reconnect battery and go to CWM...
Ok I will try this but there is a little problem. I cant start my device without USB cable because the battery is empty and I cant charge it.
Anyway thanks

They have MANY Roms but not the B512 Rom.
I know the Dropbox Link you said but I can find it anymore
Maybe you could find it.
There is only the B512 for the Huawei U8800 PRO.
Not for the U8800.

Two problems with Motorola Defy +

Sorry for the bad section I'm new. I'm from Poland, and all I translate with Google translate.
Welcome. Some time ago I root my defy+ and used Titanium Backup to remove applications that are preinstalled on the phone and I do not need. The problem I have is that I removed the launcher and added permanently removed him entirely from the phone. When I unlock the phone turns the message: "The application Home (process com.motorola.home) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." Please understand me that I have not come to any application, options or anything. In short, I do not have the desktop ..
By what I described above, restoring the factory settings I have this error all the time.
Next thing is the Rom .. I can't install it (ICS 4.0.4) because I don't have the option "instal zip from sd card" for the installation 2ndinitdefy.apk stretches, but I can not install it because I do not have access to the desktop. Impossible to ignore these problems and install Rom by means of RSD Lite?
Rom who wants to install a Super Stable ICS 4.0.4 Firmware
Informations:
Motorola Defy+ (MB526), Android 2.3.4, Rooted (Normal Android. He haven't other modifications. Only root.)
It is impossible to revive it without rsdlite unless you have a custom recovery(bootmenu), thru which you can flash any rom you want

Yes, I have ADB on my PC. I'm waiting for instructions
Step 1. Get the launcher's apk file from forum. Any smart enough guy would be able to give you one.
Step 2. Copy that file to ADB folder on Pc.. Connect the phone to Pc with debugging enabled.
Step 3. Start command prompt window in the ADB folder. Shift + rightclick > open command prompt here
Step 4. Type in "adb push /system/app/<launcher filename>.apk
Step 5. Restart the phone. You must be having that launcher now

Ok, I do this, but I can't turn on USB debugging, I don't have my desktop. I see problem with launcher and I can't do anything. ;/
Your only option is to find out which ROM you had, then download the proper SBF from here: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_jordanplus/list.php
Then poweroff your device, push VOL+ and POWER and you'll get to a black screen (the Bootloader). Use RSDLite (on Windows) or sbf_flash (on Linux/OSX) with the .sbf file you downloaded.
It will revert your device as it was before you deleted the Launcher.
Then you can start again with root and then ICS and so on.
Please, help me with search ;/

Open settings, last item (About) and then read BPflex and APflex, In the page i gave you, search for them both. When you find a ROM with both of them, you have likely found what you need. If there are more than one, check its description on the left.
