By reading post #1 of this thread. I put this faq together to save me writing it every time I was asked. This is already covered
Hello all,I would just like to thank Danfrance for this excellent FAQ. Having grown tired of memory issues I decided to bite the bullet and root so I could install the rooted stock rom with apps2sd+, what a difference it has made!!
My phone was down to 18mb free (and this was after removing flash updates) and now with everything back installed on the phone I have 97Mb free
I had a major issue with unrevoked3 failing every time on both my win7 machine and my mac, after much head scratching I remembered something important, previously I had used this guide (Lorin Bute - Home - How to force apps to move to the SD card onFroyo) to allow me to force apps to sd by setting "pm setInstallLocation 2" and it was this that was borking unrevoked3 as it was installing the rooting service to sd and on reboot the sdcard was not being mounted quick enough, changing back to "pm setInstallLocation 0" fixed the problem and the root worked perfectly.
It might be worth making an entry in the FAQ about anyone having done the "force apps to SD" trick in the past to undo it before rooting.
The software version tells you if its branded or not. What is it?
You can get unrevoked for mac. Never used it though
hi thereHi, and sorry to say my first post is asking for help please.
I have a Desire PVT4 erasesize 40,000 and after my first root attempt a couple days a go which did gain me root but without backup ability I then found this post about the erase size, so I ran unrevoked again and set to custom recovery and used recovery-RA-desire-v2.0.1.img.
Everything looked to be going OK in the rooting sequence of unrevoked until right at the very end I get a message of Error: failed to get root. Is your firmware to new?
I do have root as I checked using the applicatoin rootchecker which still says root present, but busybox is not installed on checking that. I do also have superuser permissions showing in apps (that did get put there when I ran unrevoked the first time). So I have almost got it working perhaps? My phone is happy to reboot into HBoot and then power back on (thankfully) and the stock OS is still running fine.
PVT4 SIHP S-ON
HBoot 0.93.001
Software Number 2.29.405.5
Screen is a SLCD
Radio 5.11.05.27
On what I found to read it seemed that my phone was not to new although it does have the erasesize of 40,000 so I had expected it to work on re running with the RA image instead of clockworkmod.
I am after flashing my ROM with a Gingerbread rom. I don't mind about gaining S-OFF if I can flash ROMS without it then that's good for me. I do want to be able to backup my installed working ROM first so that will be required. I do not need apps2sd so wont be doing that bit and my phone is unbranded so don't need a goldcard. I have identified my original RUU and got a copy of that.
Maybe I worked it out maybe I used the wrong custom image and it should have been AmonRA 2.0.1 if that is different to what I used which I had thought was that. Well scrub that idea as I had used the right file from my double checking :|
Any help greatly appreaciated please and I am new to all this so I will do my best to understand any replies.
