Root status

I know Paul at Modaco have made some progress in rooting the desire.
But is there any other dev or team that are working on cracking the desire?
Without root this section of xda feel a bit empty...

good question me thinks.

Please look up what rooting means before asking this as this seems like another 'root' post. There are already many of these types of posts around why post new?
I am waiting for rooting so i can install different non eu keyboards

Going by the state of EU airspace at the moment, I wouldn't necessarily count on that.

LOL I think you're right.

the situation here is almost tragic. the flights will be stopped until tomorrow for sure. this is a problem much bigger than our desire's rooting...

I know it's selfish, but living under the Heathrow flightpath, I'm kind of enjoying it. I can hear the birds!

Same here - it's idyllic bliss in 'ampstead without a bloody plane every 2 minutes. This is what it must have been like in the 1930s! Selfish or not, long may it continue (though the prospect of nose to tail flights through the night as they deal with the backlog isn't so attractive).

Im the guy who does this nicely so keep that in mind, but do you see that sticky in and how its says in Bold there is NO KNOWN WAY OF ROOTING 2.2, well as soon as it is rooted that will change, and for updates check that thread and dont post Q's. Its all in the sticky, people are ganna keep telling you look there, if the devs take their time to answer everybody personally it will take longer for root.

Dude if you want Root then buy a new EVO on eBay and sell your old one. You will come out losing 20$ but its worth it.
This is the quickest route.

Except it's getting harder every day to find a new one with 2.1 still on it. And it would be just my luck that I'd order one off Ebay (probably pay a lot because root is becoming such a high-ticket feature now) and then find out the next day that an exploit was found in the OTA.
Just wait it out. And yes, I'll change the sticky when there's something new to report. If you read the OP, I even updated yesterday to say that.

Take any vitamin B recently? Or something that might have caused you to flush your kidneys or your liver?
I'd have your doctor check that for you..

Galaxy Nexus Came rooted???

Hey,
I bought a Galaxy Nexus here in Vietnam and just realized that it is running a custom rom and has been rooted. The phone was new (no scratches and had the original plastic covering the screen)... My friends here tell me that iPhones are often sold jailbroken so I was wondering if this is normal here??? English is a major challenge so I'm not sure if I will be able to get more information from them...
Everything seems to be working totally fine... just curious.

Post a screen shot of settings/about phone. Do you have superuser apk installed?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

Here you go...
Superuser is installed.

Not sure why the picture didn't work... here is a link.

In Vietnam beware of the originality of the phone. It's easy to reseal the phone/box/accessoires,etc.
Definitely they sold you an used item. Go back to the store to get a refund or exchange for real new one.
Hope it helps.

I agree, the OP got sold a used phone.

yeah, i was probably used, or possibly a refurbished phone.
i head of people getting a Certified like new replacement (refurbished) HTC thunderbolt that was rooted with a sense 3.5 ROM on it.
but the phone is def. not a NEW phone from samsung. also, being rooted, who knows what kind of tracking stuff could be on that phone. i would take it back and do the rooting process yourself just to make sure.

Eh, you could always just reflash the factory image instead. That'll pretty well get rid of anything that could be installed on the phone.
Or use fastboot -w to wipe it all and then reflash whatever you want to be on it.
Assuming all the hardware works, of course.

I suppose the OP is in Hanoi Vietnam.
Do you like the food ?

either you paid a very good price and the phone works perfectly, in this case just flash a full official image. You can find them on code.Google.com
Either you paid the full price for a new one or it doesn't work or look fine, in that case I would go back to the shop and ask for a real new one or a refund

Sorry I don't want to bother the OP's life. It' that because I'm from Hanoi too and I miss My hometown.

the GSM extended battery was just now released in the UK so i doubt it will be in stores anywhere yet

Ahh... Well they are saying that there is no way it came rooted and I'm SOL. And this is Vietnam so there is really nothing I can do about it.... Bah. Its working well so I have no complaints really.
Thanks everyone for the input on this.

If the hardware is working fine then you can just unroot and flash back to stock and you'll be all good.

What is the store's name ? street ?

or, better yet. leave it rooted and install Adfree, Titanium Backup, RM, CWM, WiFi tether etc.... Unlock the bootloader right away while you're at it (since it'll do a wipe/reset) and then go flash some roms!

How to check whether phone is used or new

I am on the lookout for a Galaxy Nexus in Mumbai, India. I want to make sure that I get my money's worth when buying the phone i.e I don't want to get ripped off by the seller.
Can you please tell me how I can know if a phone is new or used previously.
I already read but people in the comments have reported that they don't always work:
http://www.groovypost.com/howto/howto/check-android-reconditioned-or-oem-status/
http://www.groovypost.com/howto/howto/access-hidden-menu-android-phone/

just checked..didnt work on mine. someone commented that this only works for CDMA phones and not GSM model, i have a GSM gnex

I know. That's why I posted this thread - to see if someone else would have a answer.

There's very little you can do to check if it's new or not other than call Samsung and see if someone has registered the unit with them for some reason or another. Although the seals on the box being broken would be a massive give away

When i got my nexus in the mail my buddy took it out of the box and put his phone in to play a joke on me and didn't even break the seal. I asked him how he did it and he said he didn't even realize he had done that. So no the seal is no indicator at all lol.

I find it hard to believe you can undo the seal without damaging it, I had to proper rip mine to get into the box. Perhaps the EU ones are more secure!!
Either way, unless you're getting it from an official dealer it's hard to say whether it's 100% new or not

I can't believe they didn't lock that out! I was gonna wait for a Moto X Developer Edition if it didn't, but now this just makes me decision a little bit easier. I've had an HTC One as my work phone since it came out and I love it and I'll be getting a Moto X tomorrow but I don't know how long I'm keeping that job and this has been making my decision harder.

Another confirmation. Now I wonder if moonshine will work...

Why not confirm again. Just went through the process and unlocked my One as well.

Awesome news. That was the clincher. Purchased, picking up after work.

is the past is indicative of the future, unlock now while you can under "other devices"
both the inc4g and dna were able to utilize that to unlock for short periods of time after release, and both got locked out within 10 days-2 weeks
so for those that get the device, don't **** around...just unlock

urgh its like a race against time for me! I get home tomorrow and I'm picking it up around 6pm - I hope I can unlock immediately when I get home

Guys
Im not a dev, im coming from my rooted S3 and I always follow the directions you guys provide and have never had a n issue with my rooting and flashing.
