Problem with Root!

Hey people i gotta problem with my rooted hero. if i start the app "screenshot" then it goes to root and normally my hero should ask me if i grant SuperUser rights or not. but in this app (and some others) its just freezing. then i've got to hit the home button and wait until the device says that the app is not reacting any more and i force to close it.
any solutions?

Try switching on USB debugging under: Menu > Setting > Applications > Development.

Then just retry?

Usb Debugging is Stoping My Desire to Sync

I have been battling to sync my contact using htc sync but everytime the debugging thing comes up and I have re installed htc sync both on desktop and laop with no success.... its drying me nuts...
please help..

You shouldn't need to have Debugging on for it to sync with HTC Sync; Disable it in Settings>Development , uncheck all boxes.

thanks for the reply.... what can I do now... sync is not yet working....

Reinstall HTC Sync.

Ive never got HTC Sync working. Im hoping i never need it
Im using W7 and im sure there is some issue around using it on that OS, or i may be wrong.

And make sure you have the HTC Sync option selected.

Good stuff. The software nowhere near as good as MS ActiveSync.

and there I was thinking I was the only one that didn't RTFM when I got mine yesterday and it wouldn't work with the version of HTC sync I had already installed.

nah, the versions on the HTC website don't have the drivers for android 2.1 phones.
you need the one on the card, which i think is 2.0.28. 2.0.18 and earlier just won't see the phone. I'm sure they'll shove it up on the site soon. i think however that i shall avoid it like the plague, no matter what version it is!

Can not root HTC desire

I am having problems rooting with unrevoked. I try to downgrade the hboot from 0.93 but it won't install the driver onto my phone. Can someone please help? Thanks

Hi Dave,
Have you followed the necessary steps in this guide?
http://www.unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php?id=public:windows_hboot_driver_install
EDIT: If not already done so, try it without the HTC Sync drivers installed as they cause a conflict with the modified unrEVOked USB drivers.

I've tried but still won't update driver ?? Thanks though
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Try the following for me and let me know if it still fails to install the driver or recognise your phone:
Download HTC Sync and install it. Then uninstall HTC Sync as well as any other software that may interfere such as doubletwist. Next, follow this guide to set up the modified HBOOT drivers. Make sure you reboot your PC after doing this.
Next, make sure USB Debugging is on as UnrEVOked needs this to send adb commands to the phone. We also need to enable Unknown Sources so that UnrEVOked can push busybox and SuperUser Permissions apps to the phone.
With your phone go to Settings > Connect to PC > Default connection type > Charge Only and untick Ask Me. Then go to Settings > Applications > Development > Make sure USB Debugging is ticked. Then go back to Applications and make sure Unknown Sources is ticked.

Thanks for your help, I will give it another go over the weekend and let you know. By the way, if it does work, what Rom would you recomend?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

There's so many to try i tend to stick with Sense roms, like LeeDroid's roms or NeoPhtye's Sense (AuraxTSense) and Sense HD (ReflexTSense HD) roms. Among many other great roms, Oxygen is nice too. There's also the new alternative MIUI rom, which was developed by Chinese dev's and is completely different to Sense, it's very much like Apple iOS and if that's your kind of thing, you can try that out also. Note: you can also use a different launcher like LauncherPro especially if the default MIUI launcher is not to your liking.
Maybe you should start with something a little easier just so you can properly get to grips with flashing custom roms. Give ReflexTSense v1.4.1 a try (the rom im currently using) as it is based on the Desire HD Sense 2.0 rom. It basically includes updated Sense features and is a super stable and fast rom.
Regards,
Mas.

I had the exact same problem after I got my phone and was afraid of installing HTC sync since it says not to have it running. But I could not get my computer to see my phone. The only way to get it was to use the HTC sync drivers then everything else was a piece of cake!

Thanks mas

No worries bud, just try out a few Sense roms and then you could even try out the newest revolutionary MIUI rom.
Here a link to a video demonstration of the rom running on the Desire: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Or-9T44Bt7M
Even though i previously mentioned that this rom was developed by Chinese developers, it is now fully translated to 100% English and has extra features available that you can flash, like theming, alternative language packs, etc.
Word of warning: do not flash Rodriguez Styles MIUI rom v2 as it has bugs... i found out the hard way

Hi Gassner1 - What do you mean by use the HTC drivers? I've tried by just uninstalling HTC sync and leaving the drivers and by removing the drivers, Vista will still not update the hboot. I've reinstalled HTC sync and its now a newer version so will try again

Have you tried running it as administrator (if you can, I dont have Vista...)

Yeah running vista as an administrator should have stuck with good old xp

Connect to pc

Hi. My "Connect to PC" wouldnt work. As a result, i cannot mount to Disk Drive etc. Any idea what is going on? I cannot even open Connect to PC in Setting too. =(

Do you have the latest HTC Sync 3.0.5481 installed?
Could try different usb port, or
Uninstall / reboot pc / reinstall HTC Sync.
Edit: Don't forget Uninstall HTC driver if uninstalling HTC sync doesn't do it.

Hi UpInTheAir
Thanks for replying. How do I get that latest HTC Sync apk file?

It's not apk. It's software and driver you have to load on the pc. Google it. DL and install. Let me know how you get on. Make sure don't connect the phone to pc in disk drive mode until software and drivers fully installed. It will tell you during installation, or you may have to reboot pc first.

Just double check its actually for HTC DHD, not something else.
I will manually check later. Thanks for letting Me know.
Edit: Yep, dl now. Don't know why the program said up to date .....

Hey guys. Thanks for all the replies. Erm.. I did actually installed HTC Sync in my PC already but unable to get the notification on whether to Charge Only or etc.
But now the problem has been resolved. Ok, let me explain what has happened.
I noticed that some or probably all of my Sense apps such as Music and Gallery are always going into a Force Close mode.(I have no idea why. Past few days it is running smoothly and no issues. But this issue suddenly arise)
All other market apps are still working well.
Because of Sense apps unable to function properly, I decided to reboot my device and see whether it works or not. After rebooting, the Sense apps work well back again. I've just tried to connect to PC and yes it does work again.
So i guess the issue here is not about HTC Sync but.. ROM issue? But seriously I do not think its the ROM problem that causes Force Closes on Sense apps. Probably is my device. =( Or maybe certain apps are not properly installed and hence causing "interruption" with those Sense apps.

If it happen a any more [the force closes].
Try booting to Recovery> Advance> Fix Permissions, or used Rom Manager> Fix Permissions.

[PROBLEM] cm-7-20120717-UNOFFICIAL-marvel - USB not working

Hi all,
I tried to use the unofficial CM7 by alquez. They finally got the video and BT bug fixed, but with that fix my USB stopped working. I can neither access the sdcard from the computer nor can I use usb-tethering which is the biggest pain for me.
anyone else experiencing this problem? or can someone advice me how to debug the problem?
I have a Wildfire S A510e with baseband 47.23c.35.3037H_7.54.39.28M
I tried the CM7 version from June 16th with the kernel from eoghan2t7 and now the cm7 version from july 17th. both show the same usb-problem.
thanx a lot in advance for any help.

no.human.being said:
cm7-20120717-UNOFFICIAL-marvel --> device appears as "Desire HD" under "lsusb" and USB tethering is not functional (phone claims: "No USB connection").
cm7-20120616-UNOFFICIAL-marvel + cm7-kern-eca-1 --> device appears as "Google Inc." under "lsusb" and USB tethering is not functional (phone claims: "No USB connection").
cm7-20120616-UNOFFICIAL-marvel --> device appears as "High Tech Computer Corp." under "lsusb" and USB tethering is functional.
So it appears to be a problem with the kernel.

Bro the contacts will be backed up on your Google account. You need to flash gapps. Register an account. Sign in. And finally let it restore the contacts backup.
Don't forget to smash that thanks button down since its being a big meanie!

Thz for your answer!

had the same problem ... broken tethering is really annoying... so i went back to the version before with the broken video.
and btw i noticed in several versions that there is a frequent data error when using usb... sometimes files visible on the phone are not visible via usb mass storage... then i need a restart and sometimes it results in corrupted files... mostly observed with photos... any solution for this?
