I installed App Called "ROM MANAGER" And it worked...
So,Now it means my fone is fully rooted right..??(Correct me if i'm wrong )
So,Now all i want to know the easiest and safest Way To Install CM7(stable) if possible then please provide the link thnxx in advance
Help me
Yes its rooted, but, to install Custom ROMs, you will need to install a Custom Recovery (ie Clockworkmod).
There are 2 ways to go about it:
1) Fastboot - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14693680
2) PC49IMG - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130044
I have only used the Fastboot method so far, so if you need further assistance, just ask.
BTW, Both the above methods need S-OFF using AlphaRev X. If you are not having S-OFF, then simply use Unrevoked to install the Clockworkmod Recovery.
Once Clockworkmod Recovery install is complete, follow this post to install Custom ROMs like Cyanogenmod 7:

@xeno
Heyy thanx for replying "3xeno"
Just few minutes ago i installed titanium backup when this app starts
it's showing Root access : FAILED
And a msg popped up : "Sorry,i could not acquire root privileges - This Application will "not" work ! Please verify that your ROM is rooted and includes BusyBox,and try again
Please Help me what the hell is happening ??
Got Superuser App in your App Drawer? Also, what exactly did you do to root your device? Did you use AlphaRev X or use Unrevoked?
Yup I got superuser automatically in app drawer and i used alpharev X
Weird, Then try installing Busybox from within Titanium Backup. (Press Menu Key, then Press "Problems", It''ll download Busybox).
Also, can you explain what all procedures you followed after getting S-OFF using AlphaRev X?
and bro one thing more
One minute ago i installed SHootme app and this app also asked me for superuser priveleges I allowed it and it worked...shootme app is working i don't know y titanium app is sayin like that ??
And yaa The method u posted in ur 1st post i hve already done that...i hve installed it via PC49IMG
Okay, well since you've got recovery you are now able to install custom ROM's.
Download the one you want (Cyanogenmod gives good performance),
put on your sdcard,
boot recovery (turn off, hold volume down and press power, use volume down to navigate to recovery, press power).
Backup stock ROM from backup & restore.
Wipe dalvic cache in advanced menu, wipe boot, data, system, cache in mounts and storage.
Then install zip from sdcard. Voila.

Okey Thnx bortak but y that titanium app is not able to get priveleges from superuser
and how come other rooted app like shootme is working this app also asked for priveleges from superuser and i allowed and it worked..??
And Is there any risk in installing CM7 ??

Titanium backup not giving you root previlages whereas other app gave. There is a possibility that you accidentally denied the "root permission" of titanium backup when you opened it for 1st time. As it will be in a remembered state it might be the issue. Open "superuser" from app drawer and check the root permission status of titanium backup. Another suggestion is to update the Su binary from superuser app. Then download busybox installer from market and install busybox from that. Then open titanium backup.
There is absolutely no risk in installing cm7. But do make nandroid backup of your current rom so that you can revert back anytime if you don't like it.

Guys i think SENSE Is not working is there any way of Fixing Sense IN CM7
thnx in advnce..!!
CM7 is an AOSP ROM, so obviously there will not be Sense in that, which is the proprietary of HTC. Refer this thread for lists on ROMs:

You are not getting me. CM7 is an AOSP ROM. AOSP stands for the Android Open Source Project, and is intended to be the base where Google releases their Android Source Code (Android is an open source OS after all).
CM7 is based on that. Obviously, Sense is an HTC Product, and hence is not a part of AOSP. If you want Sense, you will have to get a Sense ROM. Sense will NOT work on ANY AOSP ROM. I hope this is clear to you.
Again, refer the ROM list I gave you the link to in the previous post, I have segregated it based on whether a ROM is based on Sense or based on AOSP.
If you want Sense, you cannot use CM7.
For your 2nd query, yes, installing process is as you have described. However, make sure you perform a "Wipe Data / Factory Reset" in Clockworkmod before installing a new ROM to prevent issues.
Ok Sir I got You Thanx For Ur Help
I appreciate it...!!
And can u tell me how to install Android Market Cuz In app drawer i can't find market ?

If you are on CM7, you will need to flash an additional GApps Package (Google Apps), which will give you Android Market. You can download it here:
http://goo-inside.me/gapps/
Look for
gapps-gb-20110613.zip or
gapps-gb-20110307.zip
Flashing procedure remains the same. Place file on your SDCard, Reboot into Clockworkmod Recovery, Select Install Zip from SDCard and choose the above zip.

thnx and can u tell me one thing
at what Mhz Should i put my fone on..
i mean i want to make my wildfire more faster..?? i hope u got me
So today after flashing a new rom and then going back to my nandroid backup of my previous rom SetCpu said I do not have root. I'm extremely worried. My phone is/was rooted of course seeing I could flash roms and SetCpu would work just about 25 minutes ago. Would anyone know what to do, rooting my phone previously was such a pain in the a**. Do I have a basta*d Desire HD? Someone be my savior!!
Check other apps that need root, like titanium backup. Still no root message? What ROM are you running? Did you do a full while when you flashed?
I always wipe data before restoring a NAND backup. You could try clearing data for superuser.
Superuser
Do you have the Superuser application?
The superuser app is still there just not working i guess and no app that uses root is working I don't know what to do. Will I have to re-root my device
Did you do what I suggested and do a full wipe then reinstall the backup? Did you try clearing your data for the superuser app?

It happened to me today after I had done what you did. I dont have setcpu. Titanium on my Unity said it doesnt have root. tried everything the guys mentioned here, apart from clearing the data of superuser.
Anyway I did a full wipe, with system format as well, and reflashed Virtuous Unity. All seems fine now.
I had the same problem. Fortunately I had a flashable superuser zip that worked every time. I always keep it on the root of my SD card now just in case. Let me know if you want it and I'll upload it tomorrow from my laptop.

I'd sure love to have it...you never know when you get hit by another no-root issue.
Try clearing Superuser data if you have access to Settings Menu (i was suggest but if you did or not )
<Menu>, <Settings>, <Applications>, <Manage Applications>, select the <ALL> tab, wait for everything to load, scroll down and select Superuser, <Clear Data>
I don't know what is wrong with Superuser app, but it keeps locking new apps from root automatically without asking.
are you sure that the new ROM is rooted ? try rooting it by visionary+
There you go mate. This always worked for me. Flash in recovery.

i have a similar issue. i rooted my sensation using revolutionary
towards the end it kept restarting the phone and going into the boot screen, and then restarting it again. it did this about 3 times, and then it said it failed. i restarted my phone to the boot menu, and it shows s-off. i tried running the revolutionary program again to make sure, and it confirmed this.
i then got the leedroid mod and flashed that to my phone. the leedroid mod works well, just whenever i try to access superuser it crashes. i tried accessing titanium backup and adfree and when these request for permissions, i get an android notification that superuser has crashed and the request times out.
i tried using this fix, but this errors as well...
any assistance in resolving this will be greatly appreciated
thanks
hi
i had the same problem with trying some new roms and restoring nandroid.
i fixed this problem with: Rom Manager -> correct permissions -> reboot
best regards
Hi I have an error , SU user needs to be updated ,I also get SU binary outdated .. and Manifest needs to be updated.
So I update , it fails at the end when remounting ( rw )
however all my "root apps still work " but none are listed in the superuser area, which is new icon. the version did update , as it has done loads of times before, but now it's saying the above error .
my leedriod rom is stable bar that .. thats why i have kept it

That killed my phone
I took a back up .. which its running now...

I have noticed all my " rooted " apps work , cache cleaner , tit backup etc.. so is there any real need in the update anyway?

Its the only way. Either leave as is or flash / adb push replacement.
Hmm I had same issue when I flashed Redux2 rom and tried to restore apps and data with MyBackupPro.
I did factory reset after that and started installing application one by one. That solved my problem.
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk
simple solution: only flash the damn zip above in recovery
Baby steps. One thing at a time.
By the way all this app does is control access to root for applications. It does this well enough anyway. No real need to update it. Surely any update is "just for the sake of it"?!
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
FIXED
All sorted now....
Rolled back the rom to the back up I took previously , un installed the updates..fab
Market place wanted to update it again on the weekend , so like a muppet I said yes... the same error happened
This time I just un installed the update.. all fine...
My wee pirate is working fab once more ...
OK, since search is down, I'm going to be a noob and ask something I know has been asked before...
I installed and ran V6 Supercharger yesterday, but wasn't completely sure if it worked properly, so I decided to start again. So I went back to tutorial and started again, first trying to re-install Busybox 1.18.2, as directed. I got message "unable to load busybox onto /sys/xbin". Odd.
So I backed out and opened Busybox installer again, this time got error message "No Root Access!". Tried that a few times, but same message. So I opened Titanium, No Root, MyBackUpRoot...NO ROOT!! 4Ext is also reporting errors, although it does accept SU Permissions...
Ummm...help??
E: Build.prop Editor, ROM manager, RAM Manager Pro, Root Explorer, ES Explorer all granted SU Permissions...
I think I know what may have happened, although don't know how or exactly why... Thinking busybox.apk has been deleted from /system somehow.
I am able to boot to recovery and doing nandroid now, so I obviously still have root. Going to wipe Dalvic and reflash ROM.
Fingers crossed.
Nope.
Did fresh download of Runnymede 6041 and reflashed.
Still same problem. Titanium does not see root, neither does busybox or MbR.
Really not happy now.
Edit: If anyone reading this has experience, where would I find the Busybox.apk, to verify if it was missing and how would I replace??
Have you try to clear superuser data in settings-applications-manage applications ?
I had this problem when I restore data for superuser using mybackup root.
Also check how much free system space that you have before downloading a new busybox. Maybe the free space is not enough for the new busybox.
Download program called visionary and install it. Open it then press (temproot) then keep going on what u doing. Make sure that u having 2.2 android or custom ROM. I did that and update worked as it should with no problem

Thanks for replies guys.
@mahmoud, want to point out I am root and s-off with custom ROM etc. Not sure if temproot will help me. I'm pretty sure the original Busybox file that is installed during unrEVOked has gone missing. Is that what happened for you too??
As I say, I can still boot to recovery and most SU apps are working...just not those that need Busybox.
@ckp, I will try that this evening. Cheers.

Aaaaaahhhhh ok. Sorry I misunderstood u. What happened to me is that I wanted to root my phone and I couldn't use unrEVOked
Coz it always show me CID MISSING so I downloaded 3 apps and rooted my phone without computer. Visionary, superuser and ROM manager. I had to update busybox in superuser app. But it didn't update until I did temproot using visionary app. I don't know if that will help u or no. But nothing will happen if u downloaded visionary and temproot then try busybox.. let me know if u had any thing. Goodluck

AFAIK, Titanium uses its own Busybox, so I would suggest uninstalling Titanium, reflashing Busybox (I don't know if it's possible), then reflashing Titanium. I hope this will help.
Thanks Coempi, but I did that already... Somehow, whatever tells Busybox or Titanium that I have root, is not doing that.
Dunno wtf just happened, but I uninstalled Titanium again, rebooted (again) and installed Busybox straight up... Everything back to normal, but nfi what I did.
I guess sometimes its the simple things, yeah...??

hello everyone
so i just got my new HTC desire 816 dual sim ( after an old desire 816 which has factory issues ) . with the old device i installed CM11 the unofficial 4.4.4 and installed mount2sd and everything was good
now i got the new device and i'm a bit scared of installing a new rom , so i'm thinking of rooting , adding the injection support then installing mount2sd but i'm not sure about the compatibility of all this mix with the stock
so here what i'm going to do and i need your opinions
1- root the device => guide followed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2775801
i don't know what the wp_mod.ko module do so any tips would be great
2- installing Injector to enable injecting the init.d support http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2256647
my device is not on the list so i'm a little bit scared :/
3- installing mount2sd https://github.com/SpazeDog/mounts2sd which i used before with CM11 and was fine
OR
A friend suggested that i install the new CM11 official and then install the mount2sd and done ??
ps* i'm using a lot of apps and i like installing everything so basically i need A LOT of storage for apps and their data and obviously the stock only gives 3GB which is nothing
ps* i kinda like the stock so anything other solutions with the stock would be perfect

The wp_mod.ko file is so that you can enable writing to the SD in the system on stock.
This is basically what allows mount2SD and link2SD to work and init.d support might be needed for both as well so pair that file with your injector and your good to go.
I personally am able to download and put any files I want to the SD thanks to the wp_mod.ko alone. Having init support will allow it to just run scripts on startup and in combination with the wp file it will allow scripts involving the SD card.

I have a feeling that you've hit on a solution to a similar issue that I'm having. At least, we seem to share the same thought process regarding the problem though I'm more on the Link2SD camp.
Make a NANDROID backup, try it, cross your fingers and give it a go. :good:

Only the apps and data that would normally move to an external card. What I can't move are the apps that Titanium Backup would force to external card. The easiest option would be to partition the external card with an ext partition and then use an app like Link2SD to mount it. To do that though, without S-OFF, requires that the OP work.
Even though I'm rooted, I don't have anywhere near enough knowledge to be able to safely*recover if anything goes wrong. ?

You can't! There is no way to S-OFF our device. You are stuck with S-ON. That's it. Unlocking the bootloader, flashing a recovery, and a custom ROM. Those all have nothing to do with S-OFF. Our phone simply doesn't have S-OFF.

Your screenshot shows you trying to install the Xposed Framework, not Mount2SD. Also, the screenshot shows (and the original topic clearly states) that if you're S-ON, you can't install Xposed Framework whilst booted. It is offering you to install through Recovery. If you click OK, the app will automatically boot into recovery and install Xposed Framework. If you had followed the guide about installing Xposed Installer, you would have seen to change the install option from Classic Write to Recovery. You would then bypass the message in your screenshot and gone straight to the install through recovery.
You must be rooted and have a working busybox and recovery installed for Xposed Framework to install/work.
Also, Xposed Framework will not make any bit of difference to Mount2SD or any apps like that. They will still not work. However, Xposed Framework does have some great modules that tweak a phone.
