check IRC alot faster than just sitting around waiting here.

On top of that, unrevoked forever now has an s-on tool, if you ever need to take it in for warranty work. Awesome!

I have no way of getting onto it, could you post any updates you find important? that would be great.

Like I said in another thread: "So from what I'm understanding is the new way to root the droid 2 is the same exploit that works for the evo and will work.
Here's the thread for the droid 2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=764950
So from what I understand is if you follow those instructions it should work."

Hopefully I can try this out tomorrow

i was able to get to the # prompt.... but am stuck there. i am unable to cp files... cp is not found. any ideas?

Excellent news!!!!

that gives you root access, but its not nand unlock so you cant access /system (from what i gather from IRC)
after the # the steps are completely different. at this point you have to mod some stuff and RUU to 2.1 and then root that the old fashion way, then flash a new 2.2 rom back on.
... the devs in IRC are getting kinda antsy when people keep bugging them lol. they're telling us noobs to just wait until a full guide/automated program is made.

so they wont allow users who opt out of a data plan and or dont have wifi to update?
RUUs are leaked and shouldn't normally be open to the public. If they were they'd be on HTCs website (like with their WinMo RUUs)
Guess you cant always trust a telus rep, they told me that the update would be downbloadable from a pc if i didnt have internet access for my desire. (ive been prodding tech support for 2 weeks now trying to get info on when the update is)
I don't see the point in posting the ROM. What would be needed in it that we don't already have or use? Plus if I wanted to do the update that would mean downgrading back to 2.1 and then upgrading.

He said he is interested in some config files, no idea what for. Can you even post just a rom from your phone? Wouldn't you need to extract it from the RUU?
The RUU would be nice though, I'd like to know what radio Telus think we should be running. Obviously it would also be good to flash the phone in a way that masks the modifications made if we need to return it.

Yeah. Good point.
Got bored, poked around. I have a feeling telus will offer the RUU on HTC.com just like other desire providers.

I got mine downloaded and installed yesterday. All is running smooth
I am on Fido and I got an update notification on my HTC Desire (I had 3G on, and Wifi off). I'm downloading the update (OTA_Bravo_Froyo_TELUS_WWE_2.25.661.2-1.29.661.1_R_release_Pf7sjzjrgcmpsve12.zip) as I'm typing this...it's a 90.5MB download...so I switched to Wifi before proceeding with download.
I'll update later how it goes.

Is this rom global ready? I am overseas using a softbank sim that is on a wcdma network. Cm7 hasn't really been working for me.
I plan on installing this as soon as it is downloaded, and I will let you know how it goes. It feels so good to finally be back in the flashing game.
Used this ROM for awhile on my DINC1 and Joel is amazing, best sense 3.0 ROM we will ever get.
Doesn't flash. I get:

Anyone have it available to post??

thanks for being rude. ill look elsewhere for a more intelligent response.
Don't think anyone was trying to be rude. Everyone's a little on edge due to some folks having issues even on stock, thankfully I'm not one of them, and/or issues with the rooted kernels, then when someone comes in here and makes a thread that plain ole common sense or a few minutes of reading would satisfy it probably starts to feel like babysitting a gaggle of impatient 3 year olds...

Follow the rules and post in the correct spot and do some reading beforehand. Will help you find more information.
If you get the stock sprint/samsung kernel it will take away the yellow caution sign/exclamation mark at boot correct?
I downloaded and used SPH-D710_Zedomax_EpicTouchKernel-v1 and I am getting that yellow sign now. Just want to know if I unrooted if it would take that off.
thx!

help with rooting my sprint galaxy s 2

Okay so, I want to root my phone so I can get custom roms on it and get better battery life and better performance, so my buddy tried multiple times to root my phone using Odin, but for some reason clockwork mod isn't going onto the phone. We have tried with debugging on and off but nothing seems to be working. Can somebody please point me to a guide that deals win this or a thread that does or just tell me what I'm doing wrong. Thanks!!

[Q] Help!!! update wont go

So phone is rooted with CWM.. Got system update and went to install now and it rebooted,, It went into CWM and it sayd package failed, it will nto update.. any ideas? Help!!!
Thanks
Phone is Stock Rooted with CWM
You have to be on stock firmware(no root,busybox, or cwm/twrp) and have stock recovery, otherwise the install will fail.
Use the search button.
As a summary if you have a custom recovery, you can't install system updates.

I hate it when people don't educate themselves about rooting and the downsides and upsides, before doing it.

Just accept the update and let it fail henever the notification comes up. Thats the only way to get rid of it, at least until it decides to pop up again.
