Very cool. But a shame that so much is disabled. (footprints)
lanceiro: Could you please edit topic title to something more appropriate? "For courageous" really says nothing.
From the Android forums:
Root Exploit Has Been Found. DO NOT UPDATE FURTHER
So a new exploit has been discovered and devs are working on it.
What this means to you.
1. This WILL help for those who leaked to get root.
2. DO NOT UPDATE! This includes to the OTA when it is released.
3. Be patient, this was only discovered today and is only a possible exploit.
Possible root exploit zifnab06.net

are you really that stupid? first of all, this was not found on android forums, but rather from our own zifnab on the XDA forums.
second, did you not notice zifnabs post about 5 below yours? incase you missed it, here a link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=678293
third, no root for leakers is guaranteed to work. an exploit has been found that MIGHT work not WILL.
fourth, no comment.
*Claps hands to ECLIPS3*
sorry i had to
No exploit was found, a vuln might of been found.

I would be more than willing to bet on it! To get so butt hurt just because someone repost some informative info on the internet, and for you to use such mean, degrading language shows everyone how immature you are over something that is such a small issue. Get a life!

thank you very much!
Forum rules, please read!
There seems to be a significant amount of animosity of late in the Android related forums. I'm not certain as to why this is, nor do I want to hear any reason for justification; what I do know is that it is unacceptable.
XDA is about bringing together folks who have similar passions about mobile technology. As the forum is accessed worldwide, you will encounter all types of folks from different walks of life; some of these folks will be extremely technical, others not. In all cases, it is the responsibility of all members to remain respectful of one another. We all have different opinions, we do not all have the same level of knowledge, and some folks are looking to feel like they are learning while trying to contribute.
Show maturity and professionalism by responding with helpful and constructive information. There is absolutely no reason to respond in a rude tone or to make someone feel stupid ... it is not constructive and serves no purpose.
I would remind members that the best moderation is self-moderation.
Forum rules, please read!
Hi all members of Wildfire section.
I want to introduce myself, I´m orb3000 and from now and on I will be around this section to help and improve it.
Please feel free to contact me trough this thread or via PM if you need of my assistance.
Developers, please feel free to contact me as well.
Thanks you and hope we can become good friends
Welcome to our zone!
Welcome to the place, Orb.
oooh a moderator...
Welcome
Well, if there's a bright center to the forum, you're on the section that it's farthest from.
Seriously it will be good to have a Mod to clear up the "Can I root 2.2.1" and similar which plague these areas.
i was wondering how you root 2.2 welcome mate
Thanks Orb! About time we got an actual 'mod' to look after our forums
OMG.... *hides*
Lol, thanks a lot guys
The idea is to have a better cleanest forum so I will be doing some of that stuff around.
If anything special you need to be done please let me know
Welcome to our dark corner
Well.... Since you asked. How about merging or getting rid of all those 2.2.1 rooting threads? Pretty pleeeease?
Let's see your improvement by starting to root our 2.2 , so welcome mod...
Yes glad to make it can you provide links?
I have done a bit of cleaning, perhaps already gone...

Mod's don't mean super-awesome hackers. They may super-awesome hackers but usually they are just patrolling a specific sub-forum to clean it of junk. Also orb3000 doesn't have a wildfire. And by the way, our administrator mikechannon (think of it as xda leader or supermod) isn't better than Cottula at hacking for example. So if Unrevoked team can't root Hboot 1.01, neither can the mods!

Sorry guys.
Due to heavy loads of work I will not be Mod on Wildfire section at the end.
But soon someone will arrive to help to improve this section.
Thanks a lot to all for your understanding
I am one a few moderators that are here to help, if there is anything I can do please shoot me a PM.
Dono what I'm doing wrong this time... Cannot install CWM.
Used to do it in no time... Now getting massage "USB connection failed".
Ran Task 29... Installed Magldr... Can access SD card through USB MassStrg...
Used to run MIUI 29.0 ROM on this phone, wanted to install Sensation 2.2 .....OUT of luck.... CWM doesn't install... WHAT I'm doing wrong????
Please, any Ideas.....
Everything appreciated!!!!
explain the problem more, please? Are you saying you CAN flash magldr, (not that you should need to, all you should have needed to do was repartition, and maybe not even that, depending on the rom sizes) but you CANT flash cwm?
full step by step with as much detail as poss, please.
"Please......HELP!!"
*sigh* yet another ridiculous title for a topic. This is getting really old now but.. A topic title needs to be descriptive about the topic, please use some common sense ffs. What you do think thsi place would look like if all the n00bs who need help posted titles with "omg plz hlp" or "please help urgent" etc etc etc.
To answer your question, you need to partition your device. Do this with HD2 Toolkit which is in the sticky topics.

Yes I am smart, smart because I have common sense enough to know how to title a topic, which you obviously lack judging from the actual title of this topic and your recent reply.
Common sense dictates that the title of this topic describes this topic. "Plz help" or "hd2 screwed" does not describe your topic. For example "Issues installing CWM, Help required" or something along those lines actually describes your topic.
This makes it easier for people browsing pages and also keeps the section organized aswell as helps others searching topic titles. What do you think a page would look like if all we had was n00bs posting crap titles like this all the time?
Please say that you now understand, because there is no other way of trying to explain the simple concept.

Though common sense "dictates" that a thread with proper subject naming will yield better results and not piss off the XDA gods... it also dictates that if you want someone to do something, it's better to suggest than bark.
You could have done several things differently:
1 - not replied to the thread, because you were annoyed by the poster's lack of proper subject line
2 - bit your tongue and replied with an answer to the question. (I would not have bitten mine)
3 - SUGGESTED that a better subject line is the way to go.
A little guidance and suggestion goes a long way... and if it's too much for you to do, then it's best to not vent your frustration at the next person to trigger it.
Having said that... OP... a better subject line would have prevented this entire unfortunate discourse.

I dont agree. The only way these people take notice if if you bark and speak bluntly.
This is the reason why a XDA n00b video was created and shown to new members upon registration.

I absolutely agree with you, anseio .
If someone makes a mistake, just out of desperation.. Meaning no harm or carrying no bad intentions.. should that person get his head bitten off or just guided to better way to phrase his request??? Just a "common sense" thrown by
TheATHEiST dictates either skip the thread if you don't like the
title... Or please explain what I've done wrong and I would learn from there.
By the way, TheAtheist.... I do mod a great site and NEVER in my experience I bark at the peeps who unintentionally make wrong choices of wording....
That's not the way you lead the people, if you claim to be a big GURU... So it's in yer soul to be mean, Or ya woke up the wrong way..
And PLEASE TheAtheist no more suggestions..... I will figure everything out... Not the first time and hope not the last.... It's all the learning curve....LOL

Don't worry about him, he's partially right about the descriptive part but tends not to help people, just shout at them because he is, of course, perfect.
Oh, and about your issue, I don't see what you're doing wrong, try starting over with a Task 29? Maybe try redownloading the files, may have been a bad download?

You are absolutely correct!!! And I do appreciate your input.....
Listen here... Step in my shoes.. Me been married for 30 years....
When my ol' lady comes with a great solution, but starts yelling(as she usually does...LOL). My first response is: SCREW YOU.....
And I come up with the way to make it my way.... So... He WAS not near the way I've done it. Partition the way he suggested didn't not work.. PERIOD!!!
HD2 Tool had nothing to do with my problem..
Although I do appreciate your reply, CWM not installing is something out off his field of expertise....
Thank you!!!
Please read the Forum Rules before posting. Use search function, use clear and descriptive title, keep discussion about HD2 android, all members are expected to read and adhere to the XDA rules. Thanks in advance. Thread closed.

The only reason you would be flamed for asking this is because XDA hidden (but not really) guidelines are read, read, search, read, search, search, read some more, search again (etc) before posting something as obvious as this.
Not trying to bust your balls bud, but you should know that as soon as any phone comes out (especially Verizon) there's a Root thread somewhere, usually almost always in General.
