Some help please

hey ppl.
I need some help i have an Xdaiis and have tryed all the wm5 roms and at this point have gone back to 2003. but lost all the defualt software.
a friend has the same device. he got it 2 weeks after i got mine.
but has never messed around with the roms.
so here is my question, i have done a search but cant seen to get the right info back.
but what i am after is how can i get a copy of his rom of his device and install it on mine with all the apps and software installed as well?
i think i remember an sd card proggy to do it, but wasnt shore (and couldnt find the thread again) if it did what i was after it for.

Depending on your operator
Download the appropriate ROM File here:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/BlueAngel/Shipped_Complete_Updates
Or if you just wan the EXT ROM go here:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/BlueAngel/Extended_Roms

yeah thanx i have tryed to do it that way but i cant seem to get the same apps that i started of with.
and to lazy to reinstall all every thing and then unistall what i dont want........
biut then again if its the only way to do it.

you can always edit out the file you dont want installed in the Config.txt

so i followed the instructions here http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=123714 and i got to 5m now i dont know what has happen can i start from the beginning again cause now i wont let me go throu with the other steps
please can some1 help im not very good with this

first did you TYPE what it says, no copy?
and second, why didnt you just use somple root, its the same thing just "simple"

yes i did type and i dont know i thought that the 1 i was doing was simple until i started

lol, yeah well, i remember i tried that one and failed too, search for "simple root ota edition"

i can do that even thou im not finihed the other one

yes, because you didnt get far enough for it to install its packages and what not

thank u now after i do this can i still install a custom rom

yep no problem, btw froyo is out, dont accept the update, it will destroy root!
give it a few and wait for a rooted stock 2.2

one question how do i get that to work my htc sync isnt working

idk if u tried, but uninstall and reinstall

so i tried that app and it says failed to copy part 1, 2, 3 permission denied
what do i do now?

ok, first of all, do you have microsoft .NET framework 4?
and second, did u turn on usb debugging for EVERY step?

I wouldn't doubt that it's the HTC Sync. Keep trying it until you know for sure that it is working 100%. Also, like previously stated make sure usb debugging is on.

[Q] Root help:"Main version older"

Hey ive been trying to root my evo all day it is on version 2.1-update1. I was able to root my brothers perfectly fine using the downloads and tutorial from the idiot-proof guide to rooting by thebiles. But on mine I get stuck right at the beginning, when i try to flash the PC36IMG my bootloader says main version older. I feel like ive tried everything if anyone can help I'd reallly appreciate it thanks.

Try simple root, and keep trying. I got that same error even with simple root on my buddies 3 times before it worked. Don't know why. Maybe try copying the pc36img to the sd card instead of letting simple root push it...gl!

I agree with the simple root approach. Not trying to highjack your post but I have a question back at you if I may. You say you have one root EVO and one not root? If so the the root has PRI 1.34 and the nonroot 1.40? Could you perhaps do a data speed comparison on these and post the results? I am real curious...

sorry man i saw your post like 2 minutes too late the simpleroot worked right before i refreshed this page thanks for the help though guys appreciate it

one more quick question while PC36IMG was flashing the 2nd "tp" file said bypassed next to it rather than OK like all the others and the first tp had a blank next to it...is this a problem i should look into before unlocking the nand and all that other good stuff?

No problem glad you got it working. This was kinda like going to the casino...getting up to go to the bathroom...coming back to see someone hit the jackpot on your machine....hahaha!!!

That is normal....mine did that.

thanks man appreciate it...one more question for anyone that can help, im using the idiot proof guide and im on step 56 but when i try to enter the adb shell i get an error from command prompt saying "error: more than one device and emulator" i entered the shell perfectly fine like 2 steps before that and used it to flash the new pc36img rom but now i get this error to enter shell again how do i fix this error?

Okay I came here thinking this might finally be it... but nope I tried all the solutions mentioned here but to no avail. I am frustrated and still getting the main version is older. Does anyone know what is causing this error. Please I'm using usb debugging I wiped and backed my SD and have ota that came out in June. I installed Microsoft net frame and htc drivers. I updated simple root and the update log said this was to fix the error but still getting the same error. Any suggestions

I have the same issue, pretty much have tried everything with no luck, kind bummed at the moment, hope someone can help
Thanks

I got to work FINALLY!!!!!
So finally i got the main version error older NO MORE. So i decided to share what i did in hopes that it will work for all of you frustrated out there.
1) Download simple root from xda forum, dont download it anywhere else. The first time i tried i downloaded it at another android forum and even though it may seem the same, this version for some reason was not pushing the files as it suppose to. So again download from forum. Search for it on XDA.
2) Be patient and prepare yourself.
3) Make sure you on the 147 ota version. Not froyo. or before any version before ota because you can use old simple root.
4) After you download it extract it to a folder. Choose whatever location suits you i like desktop so i can delete file after i use it and keep zip. Be sure to update the program. Open it and let it search for downlaod or go to root folder and search for the updater.
5) Before running the program check the obvious. Is usb debugging enable, Do i have microsoft netframe, Are my phone drivers correct. Is the usb cable correctly connected to my computer and phone. Did i choose charge only when connected to the computer.
6) Now on your phone, and this step did it for me, go to Settings>SDandPhoneStorage>FactoryDataReset. Brace yourself this will wipe data it will not change your version. But if you want do a backup the folder of your contacts and whatever you have in your SD card, this is the time to do so. Mount as disk drive, and remember to change back to CHARGE ONLY. I skipped this because rooting was more important than my girlfriends phone number.
7) Now youre noobiness is ready connect phone double check Step 5. In case you missed something.
8) Run the simple root downloaded from XDA forum. Wait for it to push files is wont take long but me patient. Think of it passing 180mb to sd card so it takes some time.
9) Phone will reboot in a screen with skating androids Push power button and WAIT. It will find file and you shouldnt be getting "main version older" reboot error you where getting if you paid close attention to detail. Now update push volume up.
10) Why so impatient wait for it to update files. Once its down just push volume up for reboot. First time it reboots after root or when u flash a rom it usually takes longer, enough to get u nervous but dont be WAIT.
11) Easy sailing now but youre not done yet. Hit recovery once your phone reboot. Choose the method you want i chose Clockwork it works just fine for flashing roms.
12) Congrats your fully root and can flash that cool rom youve been reading about. Suggestions: DamageControl or Cyanogen but go ahead and try whichever you like.
13) YOURE DONE WOOF
If for some reason, it happened to me with AvaFroyo, when you flash your rom it goes on a loop and keeps rebooting dont panic that is what the recovery is for just put your microSD on a card reader delete the rom that is giving you problem and place another one and Reflash. Read how to flash rom you have to wipe on Recovery menu everytime you flash a different rom.
I hope this helps...Its in plain english not Dev English so...

Unrooting, then rooting

When I first got my epic I installed a 1 click root on it. I have no idea which one it is as its been a while. I have been wanting to upgrade my phone to nebula's 1.0.7 rom so I can run 2.2 on it. I would first like to put my phone back to 100% out of the box factory everything before I go and do this. I have been reading the android development section for the epic but all the links I click on to download the software I need are all down. Pages are all comming up unavailable. Is there anyway I can get some help with getting the files I need and also a quick step by step on how to do this? Thank you in advance, il post my current software installed below
Kernal version: 2.6.29
Build Number: SPH-D700 Eclair.DI18

I'm on mobile so I can't provixe you with a link right now, but I believe it is best to use Odin to flash back to stock.

Well after tons and tons of searching I was finally able to get odin and the stock DI18 downloaded. Now I ran into another problem, Im trying to do the 1 click root with clockwork and I cant download it. Keeps comming up as a virus and wont let me download it. Trying to get syndicates rom installed.

=) Have to write 8 posts before i can post a URL... I'm on 5 with this one.

I recently rooted my girlfriends EPIC and it is running smooth...

She is running MIDNIGHT ROM and it's very fast. Had to install SETCPU to conserve battery.

Its coming up as malware and such cause its an exploit.

Ok check it out... I used this method http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XrE7D_Raw4 I followed STEP BY STEP and it worked. Make sure you have the ROM you want in your SD card and flash BEFORE you reboot after you set up CWM for the first time. Make sense? Lol... If you want 100% out of the box factory, download ODIN 1.61, open ODIN, put your phone on DOWNLOAD MODE (HOLD 1 and POWER button at the same time til you see yellow droid dude with a shovel). Connect your phone via USB cable. On ODIN window, put SPH-D700-DG27-8Gb-REL.tar on PDA section and s1_odin_20100512.pit on PIT section. After you do that, UNCHECK F.Reset Time and click START (Leave Auto Reboot checked). Let it do its thang. Your phone should reboot and BAM!! Hello 100% out of the box factory. I used this method at least 4 times while trying to figure out what ROM was best for my girlfriend. Haha. Hope this helps!

I've been looking everywhere for ODIN and it always leads to the SDX link that's down. Any links?

So will a computer with no protection allow me to download it? I ignored the warning anyway and downloaded it to my desktop but it didn't show up, no file was there. I'm sure that's just mse just blocking it out. Already have the rom downloaded and ready to go, just need to install a 1 click root with clockwork before I can install the rom.
Also figured out odin and have my phone back to out of the box stock so I'm ready to start trying some roms. Thanks for the help thus far.

Ok so I finally figured it out and clockwork installed. Now im trying to install nebula's rom to see how I like it. I booted into system recovery but I dont know the keys. I figured out how to go up and down but what key is enter?

Yea i don't see why not. Hmmmm. Try saving it in your downloads. Don't know why the file isn't showing up...

The enter button is your HOME button at the bottom...

Or the MENU button but im almost sure its the home.

Ahhh thanks.

No prob SIR =)

Heres another question for ya. I got clockwork installed and I want to install syndicates rom now. I have the zip on my sd card but when I boot to system recovery it doesnt show up. Am I doing something wrong?

Did you go into your SD card through CWM?

How to root and install custom rom when all the files are unavailable from goo?

All the files on the stickies are now unavailable.. Someone help?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I bought this thing used and it has the latest software. 8.5.1.. I've tried several root methods and had problems.. when it tries to push superuser it says device is out of space. At this point the whole tablet is super slow. I'm able to get into fastboot with adb commands but since i can't download any of the files to install custom recovery im kinda dead in the water..

I know i cant believe goo im is gone hopefully somebody else takes it over so all the files are available again.

You could try sending a pm to hashcode
