Root Failure after A2SD - Desire General

Hi trusty XDA-peoples... I've been on the modaco forums the past 12 hours and have had no luck. I have a bung Desire after following the Apps2SD update (the goldcare and root went 100% fine). I used the old method and have just tried Paul's new method. The result is the same (I've tried it in 3 different Linux distros, it still says "device not found"). I'm only getting this 'device not found' AFTER I applied the A2SD zip update on the modaco forum (first page on the root instructs).

If anyone can help, that'd be much appreciated. The phone was on the red-triangle when this error occurs, and I've also tried it on the "different screens" (which doesn't make sense but I tried them anyway - on hboot screen and fastload screen) - still device not found...
Thanks guys.

I had a similar issue running the initial root through a virtualbox. I got this when I hadn't allowed the 'generic' android phone access through the virtual-usbs.

You have a usb driver problem.
Solutions:
1. try another computer
2. there's a free utility USBDview that lists all your usb devices/drivers installed on your computer and allows you to delete them so that they get reinstalled when connected.

iPaq HX2750 - screwed up Model ID & ROM version, can't upgrade

Hi all!
Yesterday I d/l-ed the official HP wm5 upgrade package, containing the wm2003 downgrade.
I started the upgrade process, it went into bootloader, then at 0.1% it froze, device became non-reactive (the USB port has some contact issues). A hard-reset solved it, the device work fine, but since then when I try to upgrade/downgrade, HP Rom Update gives me the following message:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So obviously the Model ID & Rom version & language somehow got written over.
Apart from this, the device boots & works properly...
Is there a way to fix this?
thanks,
kls
(p.s.: first post! )
Also, if I try to re-flash it using the official HP wm2003SE ROM, I get the following error message after a while (basically all other ROMs give me this, if update starts):
Solved it - installing ROMs from Pre-Bootloader completely rid me of my problem.
What is a rom from pre-bootloader? I thought the bootloader was a program that put the machine into a connection mode?

OTA update from HTC ?

Hello,
I have a rooted Desire and everything is working perfectly.
So i got this update from HTC today (i thought rooted doesn't get them?) anyhow i accepted and went ahead with installation
on reboot it did not install it giving some signature error (after showing the white triangle and yellow ! mark with android logo), so i rebooted and it shows the installation window again as follows:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
so i'm wondering should i repeat the installation or it will keep giving errors because i'm rooted ?
i rooted because i want to install certain softwares like the screenshot software along with arabic support libs
Thanks
Do not apply OTAs if you are rooted, for the last 48 hours this has been said more than a few times.
If you do it your next thread will be something like "HELP!!! CAN"T BOOT, WIFI NOT WORKING" and etc.
Thanks i've ignored it then
although its market update only, not sure what market update HTC has released?
It's the update to the Android Market, nothing from HTC bar a few apps patches and a new radio

error while trying to upgrade to 2.2

ok, this is what happened:
1. I rooted Clockwork (successfully) to my phone
2. I replaced Froyo with Eclair using Odin
3. I downloaded Samsung's Desktop Manager to upgrade to Android 2.2
4. after I connected my phone to PC, my phone went blank
5. when I pressed the power button, it booted to this error message:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
(it's a Phone then a "!" then a PC. so I presume it's about the Epic to PC connection :/)
I can NOT boot in recovery mode or any other mode, it stays right there on that message
I've NEVER heard nor seen of this message before
can someone PLESASE help me?
EDIT: can a mod please delete/move this?
I pulled my battery out for about 10 mins, put and left it in (but didn't power it on)
about 2 hrs later I turned it back on and I completed the upgrade
very weird :/

Their are more than a few ways to root ZF2.. I chose this method after a few failed attempts with some others..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/root-newbie-root-instructions-zenfone-2-t3114063
It is important to know that in order to use root properly, as I found out the hard way, an unlocked bootloader is a must before trying to add a recovery or rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/congrats-to-bootlocker-unlocked-t3138547
The reason I say this is because I took the first update and then rooted.. This was bad.. Almost every attempt to unlock bootloader afterward failed.. Couldn't update. Couldn't factory rest. So what was I to do? Luckily this wasn't my first rodeo.. After hours of xda searching and kicking my own ass, I started to remember," hey I have a brain let,s look up Asus support for phones".. Sure enough in black and white I was saved.. Now mind you guys.. You will have to use adb or fastboot tools as almost all of these instructions require sideloading or fastbooting.. So as GP I downloaded all above updates and went through them all erasing one after the other once updated to conserve the 16gig version I'm using. So grab updates add to root of internal storage using PC and USB cable, pull from USB after downloading and Boom..Phone will auto recognize update hit install and your good..
This thread was created for anyone with a similar problems or soft bricked their ZF2.. ​

Win 10 - PDANet problems with LG G3

Hey all.
I've recently got internet problems here and I've decided to use my phone as a modem, like I've been doing in the past with previous phones.
However, now I got a laptop with Win 10 and an LG G3 phone, and is giving me quite a headache.
Yes, I already uncovered developing options.
No, I have not rooted my phone ((should I?))
Everything runs smoothly until the last part of the installation when this happens:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Ironically, I can open my phone via file explorer no problem, and transfer files back and forth to the internal & SD card folders.
I even transferred the .apk for the PDAnet installation to the phone and installed it there manually... but every time I enable the USB mode it crashes miserably and I have to restart.
Any suggestions? advice?
Many thanks in advance.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You don't need pdanet. Delete it completely, reboot, connect usb, enable usb tethering, let win10 install stock drivers. That's all.
i could do that.
but then sprint will charge me for tethering.
