Hello Guys,
I would like to know what exactly the difference is between the r5 and the r3 rooting method...Because I used the r3 method a couple of months ago....
I looked at the guide of the r5 but it seems kind of the same?
What are the advantages of r5 in comparison with r3
Someone could explain please?
thanx
It's just a slightly different method of rooting.
The end result is the same both ways so if you rooted using r3, there is no need to re-root using r5.

Thanx! But you know what exactly is the difference?
I'm just curious............
One is the fix so you dont end up with a b0rked device by adding the no.hup line.

Hi,
I'm using LeeDrOiD's HD 1.5.1 ROM (and loving it!!)
Last night I flashed the Buzz OC/UV 1.51GHz kernel to play around with overclock and see what my device could do. (no problems there)
Now I would like to restore the LeeDrOiD kernel.
So, my questions are:
Is the "LeeDrOiD V1.3 custom Kernel for Non Leedroid users - 30/01/11"
(found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842802)
the same as the kernel in Lee's ROM?
If it is, can I just download it and flash it through recovery to overwrite Buzz kernel?
Thanks
You can use that kernel and shouldn't run into any problems

Hey Thanks,
1 more question (sorry)..
If I restore a Nandroid backup (via clockworkmod recovery), will that also restore the kernel?
Thankyou for your patience
--------edit---------
Nevermind... I just went for it !
For anyone with the same/similar question to mine:
This does restore kernel too. (But you probebly already knew that)
I'm such a newb to all this
It's a good question, and thanks for answering it, as it piqued my interest as well.
Now we know, kernel is restored. I would have guessed at yes as Nandroid is like taking a disk image of your phone.
Or you can reflash the rom but you lose any themes or any mods that you might of flashed

Thanx for the info

Well with a device thats pratically imposible to brick, Why not?
Hello all
I have just rooted my desire using unrevored3. I did a very short research (as I was l8 for work) and got few ROMs.
My question is about data and CM7 as well as one other.
On the ROM topics I could see that CM7 want me to download latest radio, do I need it? And one other ROM gave a kerneldownload link (either villan or oxygen cannot rember) and again do I need it?
I have a desire gsm in uk rooted with clookwork orange recovery (or however it was spelled).
I don't want to loose my data.
If I doubble posted, or it is all explained I'm sorry (again work), and you can remove or point me in a direction to check.
I'll do my best to catch up with research tonight, untill than thank you all for help.
Regards
Kirior

1. It could be that you need a newer radio. But I can't tell from here. If everything works there is no need to upgrade. Flashing a radio won't do anything with your rom, so you won't lose any data.
2. You should do a little more searching about what a kernel does. You can always try a different kernel but you don't have to. Some kernels have a lower batterie drain then others, but not every phone likes it.
Hope this helps a bit. Just search a little bit more about the subjects and then just try it Always make a nandroid so can you restore your rom just in case.
Hi
Thanks for your reply m8.
As I planned after work I did more reading and research and got my answers. Now I have a new question.
As I was looking through all the ROMs CM7 requires a special HBOOT and partition table.
I read about HBOOT a little, and general idea is better hardware support and improvements. Now will this brick my phone or is it secure to use? Will it work with any other ROMs or just this one? If I flash this and than letg say oxygen will it replace HBOOT or will it stay the same or maybe brick everything?
If someone could help me here I would be gratefull.
As well as all this I have just realized that when I am in recovery it says:
E: cannot load recovery/command
E: cannot find MISC
And 2 more simmilar lines (recovery/log and misc again)
When I try to do backup in recovery it comes back with an erros as well.
All help would be greatly appricated!

There are a lot of good AOSP roms. You just need to test it yourself. You can start with Gingervillain and then try a few others. There is an index thread where all the roms are sorted.

HI all
I have a quick question.
When i was scrolling through all the posts in few threads related to AOSP builds some people were saying something about Oxygen HBOOT for some builds and similar stuff so i was just wandering is i can use mine aplharev 1.8 HBOOT S-OFF for all flashing purposes without any fears of bricking or i need different HBOOTs for different ROMs, that is what confuse me :/.
Thanks you all in advance

HI all,

Or maybe someone can explain me simply and clearly what are the differences between different kernels?
Thank you all in advance for any replies.

Yes that is the right guide to do a perm Root. Also what rom version is the Desire Z on? If it's on the 1.72 or 1.82 you will have to downgrade to 1.34 before you can root.
ROOT USING THIS GUIDE
If your on 1.72 or 1.82 DOWNGRADE USING THIS GUIDE.This downgrade will work for the 1.82 version, even though its for the 1.72
thank you guys for all your help I did it
Now the only thing is to choose very stable and working rom ?
Could you recommend any?
Thank you

For me stability is important, so is minimizing the number of times I have to wipe my device. So I avoid pre-release ROMs including RC's so I'm running the stock rooted ROM right now but anticipate moving to CM7 as soon as it's released and verified as stable.
Hello,
I bought a HTC Desire from Taiwan(China) and would like to change the OS to Swedish (Nordic).
I have tried Morelocale2 but it doesnt work, I figure there is no SWEDISH-ROM or settings for it inside the current STOCK-ROM.
Anyone have the ROM with Swedish?
Or anyone know any other ways to get my phone blonde and blue eyed(Swedish)?
Thanks All ! I do appreciate it!
Root it, install a custom rom and morelocale will work
which custom ROM do I need ?

Anyone will do. On the Stickies (dev section) you will find the desire index. There is the list with all the custom roms. Since you are a beginner , I would recommend leedroid no-a2sd (froyo version is more stable than gingerbread).
In the stickies you will also find a noob proof video tutorial with instructions

Root. You have to root to install a custom rom.

Do step 2, 3, read 6 and do 7.
I did or I tried, on step 3 the revoked program tells me connection interrupted. What to do? My hboot version is 0.93. 0001 does that make a difference?

Make sure you have the hboot drivers installed, the usb is properly connected and retry
Yes, root first.
And, you can only mod CID inside you phone. It can change language.

You should try GB with Insertcoin 1.0.1 experience, it's like you have a new phone
For that you must s-off your phone.

Thank you all ! It worked out fine, and thanks from my sister too since it's her phone !
make sure you backup your phone after you root it
that way you can go back if your new rom stops working or hangs
