Hi,
Even though I am a software developer myself and not afraid of command lines, I am rather hesitant to root, because it consists of all those little steps that need to be done. All it seems to take is only one little mistake and Pooff... bricked Desire.
So, is there already something like a 'Root my Desire' wizard?
E.g. it will tell me what to do with my phone at every step of the process; it will download the latest version of the files that it needs, perhaps after allowing me to make a selection between various ROM/kitchen versions with good explanations; it will unzip those files for which unzipping needed; it will run the proper tools and utils when the time is right; it will create a goldcard for me; perhaps it will even offer to backup my SD card before turning it into a goldcard.
And if it isn't there yet, can't someone write it? After all, that's what weekends are for
Blimey - You don't sound like much of a software developer. If you can't follow the simple guides on here I would try another profession.
I'm a painter and decorator myself and have had no trouble rooting the Desire and loading custom ROMs!
As far as I know even following the current guides 100% can result in bricking on random occasions.
I don't think anyone would be willing to develop a simpler method until there is a better way to do it.

HAhahahaha Quality!!! And he has a very good point!, What kind of developer are you??
The "Root my Desire" Wizard is PaulObrian
now i don't really know what im talking about, but why are the processes for jailbreaking an iphone and rooting an android phone so different?
aren't they both for doing the same thing? (enabling root access?)
jailbreaking an iphone requires downloading a program on your mac or pc and clicking one button - the program will do the rest for you.
just wondering why the process is so different.

Maybe because their on completely different OS's for a start pmsl.
Made from two completely different companies, who lock different various sections in the phones software, which in turn need completely separate ways of rooting.
But im just guessing too.
Pretty much the only reason their is no one-click solution is that we don't have FULL access to the SPL yet!, which you would of read if your have read ANYTHING in this forum.

Yep I was joking- did see your answer..
I was actually looking at jail breaking my wife's iPhone, did a quick google search and the latest tool to do - 'Spirit' is literally one application, double click and you're done- I couldnt believe it!
There is some what of a wizard with one of Paul's (Modaco) methods, boot the CD and execute a couple of batch files I think (?)
I'm holding off until there are far less bricked devices/other issues reported.

Hey there, can anyone point me to a version of Black 3 for T-mobile UK users?
The forum's "search" feature isn't exactly useful.
thanks, Forlornity
There isnt one, thats probably why the search feature isnt proving "useful"
I guessed as much
I'm an utter n00b with the whole re-flashing process, so can anyone allay my fears that I'm going to end up bricking my device?
Also, is it easy to set it up to work with t-mobile UK anyway, what sort of things would I need to do after installing the new OS ROM?
thanks, Forlornity
just use the normal black, and then apply the t-mobuk.cab (not sure, of its exact spelling) that will setup all the t=mobile settings for you.
what's the likelihood of bricking the device during the install (keeping in mind that this is a bog standard, no special parts, windows XP home laptop)?
oh, and where exactly does this "t-mobuk.cab" reside?
Is it on the forums or does black include it?
Have you read the wiki, and the thread on the rom you plan to install? How about the upgrade guide? If so, then the chance of bricking are low. If not, bricking is a very real possibility. As long as you read and understand it first, you will be happy with the ROM upgrade of your choice.
You really want to the reading the WIKI, everything is that you as a 'Newbie' you will need... including the T-Mobile cab. Read the upgrading sections.
yeah, I'm following the guide on it, but Hard spl takes less than a second to flash, is this correct? shouldn't it take a little longer than that?
thanks, Forlornity

Nope, it's a very fast flash. Afterwards you can put the phone in bootloader to verify it.
oh bugger, summat's up:
it comes up with a message saying "resources.96.dll
starting this program requires a component from an unknown publisher. You should start the program only if you trust the publisher's source do you want to continue?
yes/no"
it won't let me press anything.
What did I do and is it fixable?
Ok, I've had some ideas over the past few minutes as to the problem, and I THINK I've narrowed it down to windows live messenger.
The machine would respond for about two seconds before it crashed, during which time I was able to click on running programs, preventing it from trying to open the today screen (I believe). I've now taken windows live messenger off of the start screen and it's working fine, the resources notification has also disappeared, possibly because I managed to click yes.
Anyone have any previous experience with this sort of thing happening?
Apologies if this appears elsewhere but I have looked without success. If it does then a link to the solution would be great.
Basically I found this site a few weeks ago and since then have been tinkering with my phone. I've tried various roms, added different programs, played about with the settings and so on. Today I have finally got it just how I want it. It is overclocked to run quickly but safely. The today screen is perfect. It contains everything I need including my huge list of contacts. And my theme is spot-on. However usually in life when everything is right something big and hairy appears out of nowhere and dumps on you. Its got to the point where I panic every time I turn it on just in case it crashes and I need to start all over again.
My question therefore is if anyone knows of a utility (or can give detailed instructions) to completely back up the phone. Right down to the user settings, theme and contacts. If possible maybe even to create a rom image of my phone so that if it does ever crash I can reinstall the whole thing from one simple file. I assume this sort of thing must be possible because Kavana and Ricky produce such wonderful roms with various programs, etc pre-installed.
Can it be done? And if so - can it be done by an enthusiastic amateur or do you need to be a tech guru? I should add I don't mind paying if I need to buy a piece of commercial software to achieve this.

Did you even bother to search google for "smartphone backup" ? The very first link that comes up, takes you right to the software you say you need. I apologize for being harsh, but I hate the lack of common sense...
An option
Not sure about the cooked 6.1 Roms. Maybe someone else might know or have tried.
http://www.spritesoftware.com/
I use this and it's well worth it.
if u just mean the saved registry values and what not u can always export the registry so that way if u have to hard reset the phone or if a new amazingly wowlike rom is released and u NEED to flash u can always import the registry values of the chomes and it'll be the way u left it (thats what I do for my myfaves and my programs)

No problem, and you are entitled to your opinion. however its replies like that which stop people making posts to forums like this. Everyone has to start somewhere, and one man's obvious "common sense" answer is another man's dilemma.
As for using google... yep I could have done that but google links to hundreds of pages, some owned by people trying to sell software which obviously means they won't be objective. Others have methods which could damage a phone and because I don't know the writers how do I know which methods to trust? Ergo I decided to come to site I know, with people whose technical knowhow I trust, and to search the forum and then ask them for advice. To me, that is common sense. Isn't that one of the reasons that places like this exist? So non techheads can ask guys like you for help?
No offence intended and, for what its worth, you are one of the guys whose advice on this forum has helped me countless times. So thank you for that no matter what. Without your posts I'd never have got this far in the first place! I mean that.
As for the other replies... thanks guys. I will look into the registry stuff. And I will certainly check out the software link. If I do find some info on google, I hope you folks will help me pick the best method to use and avoid bad advice.
Thanks again.
GS
Okay the Sprite software is perfect. And now I've checked it out maybe my question was a stupid one. Still, its nice to have a recommendation from an independent source. I've been burnt in the past by bad google advice.
Sorry if I've wasted anyone's time.

No, what you'll find is that all the information you most likely need is already on this forum somewhere. Take a day or two,search, read, look at the wiki, and you will be in a much better position to understand what you can do and want to do with your phone.
I did the above and have flashed custom roms, various applications, registry tweaks, edited dlls and what not and am now very happy with my phone.
Yeah i have looked through theese for days. But there is just so much, especialy when i know so little. It is very hard to pick out whats good and whats not.
I was hoping uses of HD touch could just post what they feel is the best things that they use. And from that i could work out what to use.
But it appears people would rather turn their nose up because i dont know anything about moding theese.
It's not that i dont want to help you with finding apps and mods and tweaks, or helping you understand your device better, it the way you assume that someone displays every app on a plate so you can install without breaking a sweat.
All apps that are around for the HD are fully reviewed and archived in the wiki:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442663
This is a thread that you could have found easyly, since it's a wiki page and has been stickied in this subforum.
Also on the wiki, theres much info on upgrading and modding the HD's rom, search an you will find, not ask and takeoff without understanding.
We'd like to help if you have a problem, and you searched for it, and stated out what youve done by yourself to solve it.
The first thing youll have to do is find your own answers, then ask your question.
EDIT: In fact of the itunes music issue, you can play AAC files on the HD, this info i've found in the manual, RTFM!
Gr. Bram
i ahve looked through that several times actually. Ive identifyed some things. But generaly they arnt reviewed and ther is so many aplications that do the same job on there i dont know wahts best and i presume you guys do.
Its quite simple, i dont know whats good. You guys do, i ask instead of trawling through lists installing them all and trying them my self. Its not really unreasonable tbh. Ive never been met by so much hostility to a simple question that i presume is on everyones mind who gets a touch hd and is new to it all.

also, what is manilla? i see it around alot.

Due to your evident experience level with HTC products I would suggest that you refrain from playin about with roms until you are at least onto your second device.. stick to easy to install software for the moment and gain an understanding of how your device works.
i would ahve thought there would be a guide i could follow and it all be fairly simple. I have flashed bios's on my pc, overclocked etc. Im not new to learning such things. I have just never done it on a phone before.
I presume i can always reflash to the orginal if it goes wrong? But yeah i will be getting used to the phone first before i do do any flashing. But i definitly intend of flashing the rom. I got this phone with the intent on playing around with it and learning about it all.

Well... do that. Asking questions like "which apps should I install?" or "which ROM is the best?" doesn't make much more sense than asking "what is the tastiest food?" You will get as many different answers as there are people out there. In my oppinion this forum is for "how to do..." questions and not for "what to do..." - if you have any of the first kind, there is a good chance that someone will answer it.
As far as the ROMs go - every ROM more or less reflects the cooker's usage of the phone, so you WILL become 'flash-o-holic', because everyone has unique pattern of usage and you will think that the next ROM will be better suited for you, and the next one, and the next one... but the truth is that none of them is 100% tailored for you. My advice is - read carefully the sticky threads (there is a reason they are pinned above all else), always be sure you are not doing something irreversible and respect the work of others. And congratulations for the excelent choise of hardware .
Yeah i understand what your saying. Just like a direction to head at really.
Im going to try dutties first and seems to be very popular and i hear it speeds the phone up quite a bit.
And ahhh cant wait, so annoying i had to wait till friday to order it with weekend and bankholiday monday to wait! it was out of stock for weeks!

A .cab file is an socalled "cabinet file" wich is used in windows for ages to install stuff. In desktop windows you dont see them anymore couse they are camouflaged by a .exe of .msi file, but they are used still today.
On windows mobile, all programs are installed by cab, so basically for you, a cab is an installer.

Okay, if you're going to be nasty, I'll return the favour. If you're going to buy something as technically advanced as the Touch HD, and you have no clue (your word) as to what to do with it, perhaps you should stick with a less complicated device.
Second, most questions have already been answered in these forums. Do a simple search. If that, too, is beyond you, then this site, and others like it, are too advanced for you.
Stick with a basic flip-phone and you should be happy.

Plenty of advantages to root but in order to understand them and the whole process you need to search the forums with reference to other handsets to give you an idea, if we answer your questions it only leads to more new members posting basic questions in what is a development forum that currently is hanging on what happens next with the desire rooting process.

Simple:
root=administrative rights to the system........ basically the same thing in your computer when you have administrative account...
normal mode is like a normal windows user account where you have possibility to (un)install software but you cannot change the system

there are many, many reasons, but to give a few examples. firstly, those of us not in regions where google allow us to access the paid apps, we can change that by a few parameter settings, we can also change where we're from, if a developer wanted to block out our region, for whatever reason. after that, when you look even further, there are plenty of apps on the market that require root to work properly, there's one that allows you specify what apps launch on startup, there's a firewall that allows you control what connects through your data plan, there's a flashlight that keeps your camera flash on and many, many more. without root, these things don't work properly, because they don't have the right permissions.
for me, the reasons above are good, but not the main reason. for me, where I work, we use a LEAP wireless security system that (I think) all Android devices can connect to, without a problem. unfortunately though, the Android developers haven't added that option to the wireless config GUI. this isn't a problem if I get root, because then I can just edit the config file and change one line. without root, though, I don't have wireless connection during a good part of every day, which sucks.
If you have any questions that may be development related please post them in here instead of making a new thread. Me and hopefully others will try to answer your question to the best of your abilities. Plus it saves me from moving a few hundred threads a day
Thanks!

Where is the best place to learn Linux Kernel Development, or more specifically, Android Kernel Development (if there's any major differences in the two).
I have a slight Computer Science background from being self-taught in basic C programs, an understanding for Object Oriented Programming, and also learning Java throughout school.
I've heard that http://kernelnewbies.org/ is good as well as the standard www.kernel.com website to grab the latest kernel and start tinkering.

My understanding of it is this, it's the ability to stream content directly from your phone to a DLNA compliant device, kind of like a networked media storage device would do. It can be a substitute for TV out in some cases. I have some movies (home movies, photos, etc) that I just recorded on my G2 and want to watch them on my TV. Well, my PS3 is DLNA compliant and I would stream these movies through my PS3. If anyone else has anything to add or wants to correct anything that I may have misstated please do.
How can I enable the long-hold action for the Menu button that pops up the on-screen keyboard?
While I am foaming at the mouth to know how to make my g2 dlna, i have a far moar simple question.
Just need some help starting an app.. such as setcpu from visionary.sh.
I know i can set it from app to start on boot, but have run into it not having su permission at that point. yes I am a script or cmd line no0b but any help would be appreciated.

First off, its not a backup. Secondly, if you reboot you'll clear the cache and will have to re-root. Its temp, so you won't brick your phone.
