I'm trying to root my inspire on a Mac using parallels, and the problem i'm having is:
1- mmap <> failed
2-when it pushes files to the SD card it creates an error with no code
3-in bootloader it can't find the image or says wrong image
I've remade the gold card several times with a few different SD cards
Now maybe I'm missing something, after all I've been on the Medic all day and we've been busy...or maybe i'm just dumb.
Either way I need help, and yes I've searched the forums and have found bits and pieces of help and then they go into other convo's...thanks in advance for any help

Why not explain what you did to solve the problem so you can help others?
I have a MAC so here is what I did...
Installed parallels and Windows xp..which I already had.
Restarted computer...then installed HTC sync and immediately un-installed the program without connecting my phone....after HTC sync uninstalled I plugged in my phone and ran the one click. With my phone connected before uninstalling sync it wouldn't allow the one click to push the .zip to my gold card
All the problems I had were fixed. I did however notice that it would say it transferred 0 of xxxxx.xxkb but no worries it will work.
Good luck!

Some of you may know me and some not. I was asked to help out on the SK4G development, so here I am.
I have some questions first.
1. You are using CWM?
2. Amend or Edify?
3. Do you have the drivers and adb set up yet?
Depending on the answers I can put out a couple of tests and then get to work on this.
I will need your newest deodexed framework-res.apk, twframework-res.apk, settings.apk, services.jar - and others as needed.
If you do not have a deodexed rom yet then I need a copy of your systemfs.rfs or a full odin to deodex it myself. I have the system dump, is this your newest rom? If so then I have already deodexed it - just let me know.
1. Yes, the epic 4g version which is buggy
2 don know
3.yes
Sent from my SGH-T839 using Tapatalk
1) No. It doesn't sound like the currently available CWM firmwares work well on the SK4G. I am waiting for one designed for this hardware. I have run CWM on other handsets, of course.
2) No. Had not heard of those until you'd mentioned them.
3) Yes. Working well. We're all set here, at least.
System dump: There only seems to be one ROM/firmware version for this phone so far. The one you have should be current. I pulled mine in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1037403&page=5
Specifically here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13210149&postcount=59
I'm happy to help further. Please simply let me know what you need.
And thanks for taking this on! This could be a solid phone without some of the bloatware trash foisted on it.
1. They are using the one click root for the epic by noobnl which installs CWM 2.5.1.0
2. Amend though can't you just use update-binary and make it compatible with both

Yes, but I am old school and still use amend most of the time and needed to make sure it was going to be compatible.
Once I see some feedback on the theme I posted I will move forward - I just need to know how it turns out so I will have a better understanding of the phones layout.
Might need to send Koush a message and see if we can get a proper recovery going.
I really would love it if this phone got some custom roms. I don't want to get rid of it. But I put a ad up on craigslist to trade for a mytouch 4g.

Also as far a getting a proper working recovery, i think we may need a recovery that supports the ext-SD card. our internal memory isnt used by us because its so small. its used for things like installing apps i believe. if you use a file manager you'll see the only available SD card is the external one and same when mounting the phone. i think the epic and vibrant recovery would work just fine except we'd need one that supports the external SD card.
there is a kernel called dead horse that i used on my vibrant that had this support for ext SD but i dont think theres a way to get just the recovery out of it. hopefully someone might know a way to direct CWM to our ext SD then we might be on to something ..

Its just a driver issue. We need to know exactly which SD card reader is in the phone and see if we can contact the manufacturer for the source.
I do not know how to decompile things like drivers, but I would like to know so I could get the ball rolling on this.
I'd love to see development pickup on this phone.
I've had my G1 since Dec 08 and happily rooted and did whatever I wanted to do it with the huge support from the developer community that the G1 received.
I'm keeping myself stock until someone gets Clockwork working with nandroid and there's an unroot method.

I feel the exact same way. I just picked mine up today and I really want to dive into it.
Yeah man, id like to see some development for this phone. I'm willing to help with whatever. This forum seems very dead though. Let's hope it picks up.

what is the sdcard mounted as? mmcblk0p1? mmcblk1p1? This is key to getting recovery set up.
Where do I find that? I just rooted the phone but I haven't flashed the buggy recovery image

Same as the Vibrant, but theirs is mounted to internal sd. I would just need to switch up some stuff.
1st and foremost.... I need your guy's initramfs from your kernel
Idk too much about the initramfs nor how to extract it.
If I'm right the zImage is the kernel maybe this could help you so I've uploaded it to dropbox aswell.

If it needs to be done from our phone could you point us in the right direction on how to get the initramfs.

Anyone able to help with Root ? I picked up a link in a HTC thread on Whirlpool
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1192300
got as far as S Off (Security Off), Updated Clockwork Recovery mod- v4.0.1.4, Now I am stuck on To permanently root your Sensation part 3. When trying to update: When I go to flash clock work/Revolutionary it says: (bad) Can't open Install aborted, though that said some users are having this error and the root is still successful according to XDA however for me I got Root check off the Market and it returns a failed result on Basic and some times a pass on Advanced but some times not. Busybox,Super user,Titanium back up are all saying I'm not rooted to don't have Root permissions.
Have a look at the link below it contains 4 photos of my sensations screen as I went through the process it will no doubt give you a better idea of my problem. It's a link to my blog BTW. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am not a member of XDA so thought I would try my luck here before having to create yet another account somewhere Thank You.
Best look at the photos from bottom to top as they uploaded back to front, order of process is bottom to top.

So did you download this http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...8&d=1311991644 file and flashed it via recovery?
I have S-OFF and I flashed that file I have full root. I then used ROM Manager to flash clockworkmod (CWM) because ROM Manager doesn't see the recovery that came with the S-OFF.
I just backed up my Telstra ROM. It just finished a minute ago.
Yes I did flash that via Recovery inc. the old su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip AND the new su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip.version I've tried the other couple of suggested methods on that link I posted and nothing seems to be working. Sadly can't see were I have gone wrong.
Here is a link to another two photos with the error message I am getting.

Did you install ROM Manager? I installed ROM Manager and used that to flash CWM and all is working fine here.
EDIT:
My bad. You did say you can't get full root. Don't really know why it won't work for you. Mine worked first go.

Yeah I have Rom manager but I can't do anything with it everything returns an error.

I just figured that out, my bad. I understand that rooting doesn't stick.
Phenomenal MATT
Sounds like you were one of the lucky ones cause if you read the comments after the steps many people are have minor issues. I'm ashamed to say I've being at it all day VERY FRUSTRATING !!!
Yes I put the ZIP file into 'The Root' of the SD card (Main section of SD Card) and yes in recovery I can see that zip file but when I click open it says:
Can't open /sdcrd/su2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
I've tried over 30 times same thing every single time. HEADACHES !!! lol
Sooo looking forward to a solution. I might have to creat a XDA account and post it in the questions section there, looks as though questions are getting answered pretty quick (Good support) ...WITH ALL THAT SAID IF ANYONE HERE CAN HELP I WOULD BE MOST GRATEFUL.
Phenomenal MATT writes...

You've probably already tried this, but if not, have you downloaded the su zip again? could it be corrupt?
EDIT: I am really new to Android. Got my phone the day it came to Telstra. You are probably better off on the XDA forums.
Phenomenal MATT
I signed up for XDA but they expect you to make 10 posts elsewhere on their forum before allowing you to comment on the Sensation Dev. one (The comments under the instructions in this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1192300
Yeah I downloaded it on PC, Mac, Mac with Boot camp, Zipped, un Zipped and even tried the old Zip file it says to try in trouble shouting section then followed buy the new Zip file.
Awwwww Well Patients a vertue ... Hopefully it's all worth it.
Seems like the guy already gave you your answer. Just download the zip again. You probably have a corrupted download. And make sure that signature verification is off in recovery. Should work.
I've downloaded over 30 times on 3 different computers + straight to Sensation as a hard Disk tried Zipped, unzipped you name it... PC - Mac Normal sd card, Micro SD card... & Also like to add Sign. verify is off too tried it on and off, I a award the file needs to be zipped and that needs to be off just trying everything here pulling my hair out.
Do You go CWM > Advance . backup ur Rom ?
I'm using rev. And I go to backup and restore click on back up after its complete 10 minutes later I go and try to get the zipped file but it fails every time.

Finally got it to work. I had to download it from the net with my phone to download folder as opposed to with a pc then moving it to main root folder on SD card. Question is now what ? I want to over clock but I want to keep sense. Do all Roms remove sense ? Leedroid ? What else is recommended now I'm rooted. Btw thanks again everyone for your help.

Thanks Matt
Thanks for posting this, Phenomenal Matt. I had the EXACT same problem that you posted about. Copying the su zip file to my phone's sdcard while the phone was mounted as a drive did not work at all. I had to download the su zip file on my phone before Clockwork Recovery was able to successfully install it and give me root.
hi,
im new here and i just rooted my htc desire s using revolutionary(THANKS TO EVERYONE ). i also tried a few roms like cyanogenmod, oxygen and some sense related roms.
now, the problem is i gt around 4-5 rom's nandroid backup made(each varying from around 500mb to 1gb) on my sd-card using clockworkmod and i kinda ran out of space on my sd-card. So, is it possible to backup the nandroid backups on to my computer's harddisk so that i can make more space for other stuffs on my sd-card??
sorry if this is a stupid question. as i said im new to this and i really dont want to screw up my phone....
I'd say either buy a larger sd card or simply plug the phone into a PC and simply move the files onto it
You should find files relating to each backup within its on directory on the sd card in sub directory clockworkmod backup

Important to mention that you should never rename the folder you copy over. Even a folder name change will mean if you try to copy it back then restore, it'll fail the md5 checksum and installation will abort.

No big deal here. I have proted another sense ROM and have been enjoying it but the sd card wont mount in it. The sd card is fine. I made a nandroid of the ROM inquestion, full wiped and restored Supreme Sense to see what happened and all is well so it's in the Ported ROM somewhere. I have been reading what solutions other devices have for simular probs but was wondering if anyone from this community has a "speedy" solution. Or just a direction to look in.

A command I use (without reading the link prboy gave so it might be the same) is
adb logcat >logcat.txt
Or >whatever.txt and that should place a txt file inside platform-tools with the name you specify , that way you don't miss anything,or have to look at it all through terminal

Great. Now none of my sd cards will mount in recovery after doing a full wipe to flash some thing new. looks like I'm screwed.

So it mounts before the wipe (as in it wipes your sd-ext during the wipe) but won't let you install from sd after the wipe? Maybe try going into advanced then reboot recovery after wiping, it might mount your sd when you reboot recovery... But that's just strange.

Glad it worked for you . BTW sometimes it's best to take a minute, and step back when your working on stuff. Give your brain a chance to process things. Happens to me all the time. A solution to something that I had an issue with, when I'm not thinking about it.
