[Resolved] rooting problem - desire

hi.
I've tried search and not managed to resolve this, though I'm sure I'm missing something simple.
Just been given a htc desire, to replace my spica, and want to remove simlock and root (for apps2sd, adblock etc)
i removed simlock using the bootable iso downloaded from here
trying to follow the rooting guide for the One click Radio S-OFF, SimUnlock tool, and I'm hitting "unknown error, probably connection
using search I found a suggestion to use adb shell, followed by su, which gives permission denied.
I then downloaded terminal emulator and typed su, permission denied.
So I guess I don't have root, even though I installed visionary+ and clicked temproot now followed by attempt permroot now, and the reboot.
What should I do to complete rooting the phone?
Thanks

I don´t know if this will help you but I just used this guide to root my desire, it was my first time and all went fine.

ha ha, I was a bit too late. Glad to hear you got it sorted.
If your interested in a good rom, I recommend RCMixS http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988570
and this script to speed up the phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111145
works great

thanks for the rom suggestion, having had no end of problems (mainly lockups) after flashing my spica I'm gonna steer clear for a little while...
..though I am very, very tempted

If I had the time I would be flashing all day!

[Q] New to roms

Hey Guys,
I'm new to android, (used iOS quite alot) and im loving the customisation that you can do on it!
I've messed around with Launcher Pro and some other widget stuff, and i've started reading about ROMS/Mods?
So far i've seen Cyanogenmod 7 and MIUI. I've got a few questions
Are there more?
What are the benefits of modding/romming?
how easy is it to revert back to the stock?
Which ones the best to use?
If say im running Cyanogenmod 7 and Ice Cream Sandwich gets realeased on HTC, if i update, will it wipe the phone?
I'm using the HTC Sensation XL

yes there are more roms out there
installing a custom rom can improve your phone's performance and furthermore let you customize/mod the rom the way that you like it
There is no best rom this depends on your needs
yes the phone will be wiped

Currently im on HTC sense version 3.5 and android 2.3.5
Performance wise, my phone is still ok. Its new, so fairly fast, which ROM would you recommend?
Do i lose any features when installing Roms?

look i never owned an HTC phone so i dont know much bout it
you could do some research but currently 2.3.x roms are pretty fast

Hmm,
How easy is it to revert back to stock ROM?

oh im sorry i forgot to answer that
you can easily create a nandroid backup and go to recovery menu to revert back to the rom you have backed up

EDIT: Or just flash the stock rom , usually in the thread about your phone

Thanks!
Im really thinking of doing it hmm

yes, its easy.. Backups can easily be made whenever you want.. You just have to learn how..
One good thing to know though, is that the important onces, which is calendar and contacts, do get backed up in gmail.. Thats why im brave enough to try out the roms..

Downgrading from Gingerbread to Glacier on Mac

Hey all.
Im trying to find a thread about downgrading back to Glacier from Gingerbread on a Mac computer. Can anybody point me in the right direction? They all seem to be for windows. Thank you!

Hello
Most of the steps you need to do is with adb in a shell.
Windows or Mac, it don't really matter. I downgraded my Panache (Glacier) on linux following the same guide.
The only step you may have to use Windows is if you want to create a goldcard using nelify soft : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970157
But you usually don't need this step for the MyTouch 4G and Goldcard creator should run in wine or using mono framework.
1- Read the guide 2-3 time
2- Come back here if you have any questions
3- Prepare all needed software (gfree, misc_version, etc) in an identified folder
4- Root it!
Regards

Thank you! Ill make sure to read it 4 times!

Here's what I did
Go to this link, and there will be a guide on how to downgrade from Gingerbread to Froyo. It worked for my Glacier and I was also using Mac. You have to learn how to use ADB, and I can post a guide on how to set it up and use it if you want me to
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Glacier:_Full_Update_Guide

Still no luck
Ive tried and tried and for some reason it wont work. When I try to install the packages, it says that its not compatible with mac, same with the drivers. Any advice? (I apologize for the late response)
Thank you!

Which version of Android SDK are you installing?
I'm not familiar with Mac but you should have precompiled package like on Linux.

hey there
I made sure to download the latest version after finding out i had the old version . The last three days i have spent reading up and down how to use the SDK and ADB. Ive installed all necessary packages through SDK. I followed the guide step by step and am getting stuck on running the commands in the terminal. Heres my issue.
When i type in this in the terminal :
adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb shell
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
/data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start FAA90000 -end FFFFFFFF
I get -bash: /data/local/tmp/fre3vo: No such file or directory.
I have fre3vo and the pd15img.zip and misc version in the platform-tools folder.
Maybe i am not understaning the terminal and how to use it to push files. (is there a different way to type the command for mac?)
I am sincerely sorry to be bothering yall with this, i am a complete noob when it comes to this.

Update***
After messing around in terminal and adb, this is what i am getting. Any ideas?

A process on your Mac seems to use the port 5037.
adb need it to start.
You can see which process is using this port in shell with the command :
Code:
netstat -a | grep 5037
Stop this process and try this command :
Code:
adb devices

I seem to be getting the hang of it now. Thank you guys for the help! Is it possible for the fre3vo to be corrupted? I have everything working perfect now except this. It says ”cannpt locate fre3vo”. I have it in the platform-tools folder, along with.misc_version. And pd15img.zip. Why cant it locate it?

Were you able to push misc_version?
Check the size of fre3vo and be sure you don't have an extension.
And it must be PD15IMG.zip (upper case)
Sent from my HTC Panache / CM7 using xda premium.

I am not able to push either. The file size of fre3vo is (8 kb on disk) as a zipped file, and when I try to push misc_version, it takes me to the adb command list. What gives?
I thank you for your time in helping me

bootloop

In an effort to access more storage space for apps I used a text editor to change "dev_mount sdcard/mnt/sdcard" to "dev_mount sdcard /mnt/extsd" and "dev mount extsd /mnt/extsd" to "dev_mount extsd /mnt/sdcard" in system/ect.
which resulted in a bootloop. Attempts to use ADB give this result:
[email protected]:~$ sudo adb shell
[sudo] password for daryl:
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
error: device not found
probably because usb debugging is not enabled.
this android is not CWM or TWRP compatible either.
Any suggestions or pointers to get out of this loop would be greatly appreciated.
TIA Daryl
