Develop Bugs

[Q] Can Someone please help me! :/

Okay, so I installed a leaked OTA on my phone which gave it 720p and yadi yada..its not the FroYo update. Anyway, so i want to downgrade, but i cannot get my phone rooted at all. I tried doing the Unrevoked method, and heres the mutiple things that happened...It will stay stuck saying pushing recovery...or it will reboot completely and stay stuck saying waiting for reboot, or it will say communtications lost(or something like that), or it will say waiting for system to settle. But it WILL NOT root...at first i thought it was my computer, but i tried it on another one and got the same results. Not only do i want to get rid of the update, but before i installed the OTA, i installed the Droid Incredible official boot animation on there and i cannot get it off nor can i get any other boot animations on there.....in general, i want it to be factory fresh. PLEASE HELP!

If your having trouble with unrevoked make sure you have the bootloader driver installed and that you have htc sync removed along with the my htc driver uninstalled

Yes and the drivers too!

[Q] Unprovoked does not work on 2.1

Hi
Unprovoked (latest version) tried on the MAC and PC does not root my HTC Desire running Android 2.1. I have tried everything possible and it just does not grant me root access to the phone.
What are my options, what other software can I try, to root the phone, preferably PC based.
Thanks

Good Lord, of course it doesn't. There is no rooting tool known as unprovoked.

Please, describe the problem that you are facing, what steps you have taken, etc.
Don't ask stupid questions (or ask questions stupidly) and expect anyone to be able to have a vision of your problem, diagnose it correctly AND help you solve it.

lol a classic typo, I was provoked using unrevoked hehe I wish I could change the subject title now, and of course meant unrevoked (sorry was too tired after trying it for many many hours) ... i know that many people have had success rooting their phones with this tool.
My phone got stuck in a reboot cycle after using unrevoked on 2.2, so I downgraded to 2.1-update1 and tried unrevoked again but the same problem happened and no root access. Then I took the battery out for a few minutes, powered it back on, and so far it's been stable, i.e. no reboots. This morning I also powered off and back on again and the phone has not rebooted. I just can't understand it.
Moving forward, is there another option, a different tool which I could use which can root Android 2.1.

Did you enable usb debugging?

Yes and selected default connection type to charge only.

Have you installed HtC Sync then removed it? Making sure the drivers are left on?

I tried on both the PC and MAC. The MAC does'nt require messing around with USB drivers.
On the PC, HTC sync was uninstalled with the drivers left installed ( unrevoked modified USB driver ) and then ran unrevoked.
So I now have HBOOT 0.83.0001 and Android 2.1.
I tried unprovoked once more today, and the phone is stuck in a reboot loop.
1.
I take out the battery, and the phone boots and then reboots once i see the multi-coloured HTC background and then goes into that infinite reboot cycle before I can make any changes.
2.
HBOOT is trying to find an image with a name similar to : PB99IMG.ZIP which it can't find so reboots in a loop until the battery in taken out and then returns to 1.

[Q] G2 Help Needed.

Hello everyone,
Ok so I bought a brand new g2 on craigslist. Everything was working perfectly fine...until I decided to root it. I downloaded the necessary files and it all worked perfectly fine. Now I know some of you may bash me for this but thats not the reason im asking for help. I know I messed up by not reading more into depth ahead of time. I opened up visionary did the temproot, then proceeded to do the permroot. Phone rebooted but stayed stuck in the HTC logo screen. I seriously need help guys and I would greatly appreciate it if I could just make it work again. I went into the bootloader restored back to factory settings but same thing happens. I managed to get a copy of the original 2.2 stock rom for the g2 put it in the sd card then it seems like it updates fine..restarts a couple of times but stays in the htc logo again after like the second restart. I have the S-on...(prolly screwed). Anyway, im asking here because I searched a lot and I know there are other posts about people who ask this but then there are no concrete answers. I am wondering if there really is a way to fix it. Whether it be installing a custom rom or any other thing. If its not fixable as much as it hurts, Im going to have to put it up for sale and get at least something out of it (for parts or whatever). Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks Guys

I will give gou 10 dollars! But hey do a search for visionary bootloop fix. There was a great guide on how to fix that. It will require you to learn about adb. Adb will be your friend for fixing things.

lol about the 10$...hey I greatly appreciate your help though...

Man, I just noticed there are lots of people stuck in this HTC logo screen. Having a hard time installing the damn adb......ahhhh this crap really sucks and its all my fault....hopefully there is someone out there who had the exact same problem and got it working.

ADB is quite easy to install actually, all you need to do is download the Android SDK, get the usb drivers, modifiy the inf files in the usb_drivers folder, and you're good to go.
As for rooting, I would suggest using the more updated gfree method.

I dunno why you have to modify anything. I plugged my phone in and everything just worked.

Only $10!
Man i would've given you @ least $11.

If anyone is having trouble with adb (and I know that it can be a struggle), I'm writing a guide to try and help - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865685
It's not finished yet, but there's enough information in there already to perhaps help a few people out.

[Q] Cant root incredible says firmware to new

Hi everyone. I am new to the incredible section...I am not a newb to rooting and flashing as I come from the HD2 section. However I am trying to root a friends incredible and I have done everything needed to get unrevoked on on my computer with the correct drivers. I tried to root it several times and it just gives me the "error root failes, is your firmware too new?".
I have tried to do the Z4root way like mentioned in another thread and I just get the same thing. Does anyone have any solid help or advice? Trust me I have searched over and over.
Thanks in advance!

Is it an AMOLED or Super LCD? I remember having a fight with my GF's SLCD incredible because it gave the same error. Do you have the ADB driver installed properly?

It seems to be a AMOLED...I turned it on with the lights out and the screen didnt glow before the HTC screen (I read that was the way to check). I do have the drivers installed correctly. I have tried on two different computers too...one is windows 7 and the other is Vista.

Thanks for the help...I tried the everything to the T on the link you sent me...even uninstalled dropbox and still no luck. Says the same thing "firmware too new".

might have an answer...
Hi dude,
I just rooted using the same method, and the first time I got the same messege about new firmware, then on the second attempt, I discovered my mistake... you're supposed to have your phone un-plugged before clicking on the start button, then plug in. Hope it helps, I'm rooted now, Yah!

Yes you don't plug it in till you have the reflash open if you had it plugged in the hole time you will get errors good find I didn't think of that
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App

Thanks guys...I have tried it that way and no change.

it may sound stupid but have you tried rooting without the sd card on the phone...

Well, just the sake of trying it, just uninstall any user app you installed. I was getting the problem, the unrevoked website mentioned the possibility of some apps interfering. I only had 3 installed, but it made a difference.

-Make sure USB debugging is Checked on the phone
-Allow ADB and anything else to connect to internet when Unrevoked is running if you have a firewall installed
-I think HTC Sync should be UNINSTALLED but someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
-And for goodness sakes restart your computer atleast lol just kidding but seriously I hope this helps

Well I finally got the root to take! What finally did it was uninstalling some apps! Thanks again everyone for your help!

i know you have already got it working but i just wanted to add something because i did not see it suggested, by the way glad you got it figured out.
when i first did mine i was having exact same issues, and tried 3 different computers, all with win 7, i was using zonealarm extream security on them, which is a fire wall and virus software, i was dissabling it on all atempts but what i forgot was win7 automatically turns on windows firewall when you dissable a aftermarket one. well i finaly remembered that and turned it off and it work first try.
so just wanted to throw that in for anyone reading this, just one more thing to check if you are having issues.

Never experienced it myself, but this sounds like you have USB bricked your phone. Try to follow the steps outlined in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=691639

If you are running CM& (AOSP built rom) then it is normal that HTC Sync no longer works.
You say that ADB doesn't find your phone? have you checked that USB debugging is turned on?
