2.3gingerbread - Desire General

hi guys i extracted the rom from the 2,3 update. and put it thru dsixdas kitchen, added root permissions but when i load rom super user is not there and theres no root.
any ideas what im doing wrong?

Was it option F (Chains DD)? Is superuser.apk in /system/app?

yeah it was option f mate. ill have to check where its kept later, spose i can move it before i build the rom anyway?

It needs to be in system/app which is where dsixda should put it. Check your rom.zip to ensure its there before flashing.

ok mate will do cheers

dont you need su also somewhere?
or isnt there pre-rooted rom on the dev section - i think theres one or two of them which are stock + root

yeah im using teppics but i got it in my head that i want to root my own stock one. i think its just to see if i can!!
my thinking was that if the kitchen inserted root permissions i thought that was it done.

System/bin/su
dsixda adds both of these.

one thing i do find strange that he htc mail widget is disapeard as well when i install the rom

Are you doing a wipe before flashing your ROM?

yeah usually a full wipe, im gunna try it again later must be something im doing cus im sure it never used to

Actual (2010-06-27) hosts file

Because AdFree is not working on Desire:
I've made hosts file which is compilation of two lists and some manual additions (for correct blocking of admob). So I decided to share with my list. Use it if You want to. Please tell me if this forum is wrong for that list.
Sorry for the n00b question but how do you install this?
Nice one mate. You've just reminded me I needed to redo my hosts file after installing Modaco Froyo, and I might as well use yours as it'll be more up to date than mine.

ditto this, instructions for us noobies?
unzip the host file
than enter recovery
adb-windows shell mount /system
adb-windows shell mv /system/etc/hosts /sdcard/backuphost
adb push c:\hosts /system/etc
that should wrok if you unziped hosts.zip to c:\ and if something goes wrong you have your original hosts file backed up in /sdcard/backuphost
hope this helps
p.s. i didn't try this
did everything, and adfree is still not working in froyo...
Thanks anyway!
Edit: Now, Adfree FCs!
Edit 2: I did it again and it worked!
Could someone please create a zip file, that can be falshed through clockworkmod recovery? This would be fantastic.
Try this, mate. [Click!]

Thanks dnlgee I put it in my repo on ROM Manager
This is great, thanks for sharing - it seems to work great. I might go back to a stock hosts though - I like to block ads when browsing, but I feel bad about doing it for ad-supported applications. That's just me though

Yes, trying to do thinks more easy for all people
Thank you. I have been looking for this for a long time
Great work, it worked a charm until I changed to a new rom, went to use it again and it was gone from the downloads in Rom Manager.
Big thanks.
Panic over, It was saved as a download on my SD card, Rom Manager flashed it again from the saved location no problem.
Love it.
danbst said:
Your stuff is gone from Rom Manager it seems mate.
Would I be right in assuming I can put this on my card renamed as update.zip (if I need to?)
Use rom manager to boot into recovery and flash it manually?
Great work BTW, it worked a charm until I changed to a new rom, went to use it again and as I say it was gone.

You don't need to rename the zip file if you're using ROM Manager, but yes you should be able to install this through the manager.
If you can't download it through the ROM Manager report, my link is always online and will be updated when possible.

Just a confused question;
If we have a rooted device, what's the reason for having to use the recovery menu? Can you not simply overwrite the file?
Thanks
Yea you can, provided you reboot into recovery and mount the system, then pull or push the device back into the system.
Either way you need to boot into recovery as there's no root method that fully allows read/write access for the Desire at the moment.

It should work like this. Unfortunatelly you can't mount system partition as read/write. That is because system is blocking this in some way.

Another quick one:
I used the zip file which people are using in the rom manager. I rebooted into clockwork and selected apply update from zip and selected the file. Appears I broke the system though lol .
Is this not the right way of doing it?
Also how do you type commands in the recovery? :S

Slide Root Quick Question

Im planning on rooting the Slide tomorrow and was wondering if I could keep the Stock rom and just install SU to have a rooted stock rom? does anyone know if this is possible? and does anyone have a flashable zip with Su and goodies in it?

when u do root u do keep the stock rom. its not like the g1 where u had to flash a rom. on our phone u don't have too.
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
There are a couple custom roms that are basically the stock rom rooted, and maybe just s few extras.
Hey I tried CR's new OTA rom but I can't seem to delete any apks from /system/app. Makes me feel like im not rooted
Did you try doing it from recovery or when the phone was booted? I've always done it in recovery, mounting the system partition, and then launched adb shell.

Yup I just learned I had to do that last night, if I could ask though, Why? Its not like this on Droid, Eris, or Nexus that I've used in the past. Is it some sort of Lock HTC has put in?

That's a good question and I don't know if any of us has a definite answer, if we did I'm sure some one wuold have figured out how to bypass it (not the overlay method). It's just how HTC or T Mobile set it up *sigh*
For now we have to do all system writes via recovery
This is what has kept me from rooting. I loved having the freedom with my G1 to do what ever I wanted when I rooted but its almost like even after rooting the slide your still not really rooted. You can get SU but if you try to delete a system app from the terminal emulator you cant. Once we have true root status I'll probably root.
I am pretty sure it has something to do with the fact that we still dont have a "true root". The /system folder is set to read-only or something along those lines when not in Recovery.

Yeah, it's one major thing I hate, would be nice to have rw access on /system while booted - without creating sym. links or doing an overlay. Damn you NAND!!!

[ROM][11/09/2010] Desire Z Sense on the G2 via HBOOT (r2)

This is an hboot flashable version of the Desire-Z ROM built for the G2. If you're rooted and know what you're doing with hboot, read on. To install, rename the download to PC10IMG.zip and place it at the root of your sdcard, then reboot into hboot. It'll flash ONLY SYSTEM and BOOT. I'll post more details shortly but everything I am testing works. Sorry for the crappy picture, I am frantically typing to make things happen.
http://twitgoo.com/1qjp6v
Quick overview (this is way below my normal release quality but I've not had much time and am rushing a bit):
Pre-rooted with Superuser from ChainsDD.
Busybox installed in /system/xbin.
Removed apps to allow the ROM to fit on the G2:
AdobeReader.apk
amazonmp3.apk
FlashLitePlugin.apk
FlashLitePlugin.odex
install_flash_player.apk
Maps.apk
Quickoffice.apk
SoundHound_Freemium_2.1.2b.apk
Stock.apk
Stock.odex
teeter.apk
teeter.odex
YouTube.apk
Most of these apps can be installed from the Market. Everything else is completely stock as it exists on the Desire-Z.
THIS IS NOT MEANT FOR JOE AVERAGE USER. PLEASE USE WITH CAUTION, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE. IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH HBOOT FLASHING THEN STEER CLEAR UNTIL WE HAVE A FUNCTIONAL RECOVERY.
LINKS PULLED AS THIS ROM IS NOW OBSOLETE. Visit the following thread instead:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=837042
Enjoy!
FIRST i hope.....
downloading and flashing now
Would i be able to root it after flashing it with the current g2 method ?
Bring virtuous to the g2 please
yay... this is all I wanted
also thank you!!!
Thanks for this i'm downloading now
Absolutely awesome. Thanks so much for this.
So if we're already rooted should we just install visionary to get root first then lock it in?
This is going to be fun...
nice job, but damn work. i just got home and was planning on doing this, so u beat me to it ...
did u modify system so it would fit on g2 partition?

That's exactly what I did. Uploading another version now which has less removed and is pre-rooted.
rmk....Ive been following what youve been saying about the rom on irc since sense 2.0 on my g2 is all i wanted.
could you possibly post a "change log" which would just list things that youve removed from the rom that people might want to know (search app, etc).
Also, is the rom working as fast as the g2 worked or is it like when we first put sense on the g1?
Third to last question, in case something goes wrong with installation or if I want to go back to the vanilla, is there a rom I can flash to go back to vanilla or am I stuck with desire z rom until someone makes one? Also do we have to clear data/cache like we normally do before flashing another rom or what?
second to last question, by installing in hboot, you mean rebooting into hboot then going into recovery to install or what do you mean?
Last question, are the keys mapped correctly or are they desire keys?
Please answer these questions, I want to make sure I know what I am getting into before I plunge. Thanks for all the work!!
P.S - sorry for all the questions.

Yeah of course, it's completely different software. Rule of thumb= similar software(plain froyo->plain froyo), no wipe; different software(sense -> stock, stock -> 2.3, etc), wipe

no, installing though hboot..... we still don't have a custom recovery, put the rom on your sdcard and it should detect it

Very cool, glad to see somebody putting a better firmware on the G2. Hope to see rooted version soon.
Also my overclock carry over if I install this firmware?
And a complete noob question probably, sorry. Will all my apps carry over?
I'm on it right now and it's pretty awesome!
Does wifi calling work?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
the g2 overclock will be lost when flashing the z boot img. however if u know how to compile from source here is a oc and voltage changed boot that will work on sense

I guess there is still no script available, but can someone remind me where to look for kernel modules? I don't remember where these "leftovers" might be hiding on the root of my phone... ? I remember in a thread it was described, might have been a kernel threat (in the OP) but unfortunately I don't remember which one. Thanks for your time.
Hey man
I dont understand all.
But if you wanna to know where is the folder of kernels .
Their in the Data. Go with root explorer there.
If you install silyah kernel or somthing like that you can see in data folder. The folder silyah. Sow you can delete it. Reboot in recovery and flash new kernel. I do that .

Extreme Power Saver Mode Mod??

So I've seen the mods for the Vzw M8 and the intl M7, but cannot find a clear answer as to whether these will work on a vzw M7.. Im on 4.4.2 Sense6 s-off bootloader unlocked and rooted, stock rom, anybody know how to get EPS mode? Already enabled normal power saver, but dying to get EPS

You can download NuSense and locate HTCExtremePowerSaver.apk in /system/priv-app and just push to your priv-app and should have it.
R u saying to install the rom to get it or just somehow pull the apk from it and put it in priv-app? I've never installed a custom rom before, been trying to get it on stock rooted rom… although I have been considering NuSense lately.. Forgive me for the dumb question, just not all that experienced with rams n stuff

Basically most custom ROMs have it.
My Bonestock ROM has it as well..
If you don't want to run a custom ROM, I could try and make you a .zip to get it working on your current set-up.
let me know.

I'm really trying to stay on the stock rom so if you had the time and were willing to make a zip for it, I would be forever in debt to you and I'm sure there are some others who would definitely appreciate it as well
I'm really not all that familiar with adb and fastboot (I know I need to learn) the only things I've ever really flashed is in recovery and I didn't really want to flash any of the other mods because they weren't specifically for our phone and I don't really want to screw anything up considering im pretty new to this

It's an apk that has to be pushed to your system priv-app folder. Have root explorer or even terminal can move it if you know the commands.
