I rooted my phone with no issues, but I can't get my brother's to take.
I have debugging enabled, I have it in charge only, htc sync is not installed on the computer, and I am running Windows 7. I installed the hboot drivers, run unrevoked3, it does its thing, but then it says "failed to flash recovery image". Then the phone reboots and works like normal. It does not get S-Off and there is no recovery. What's going on? His is an SLCD.
It did that once when I rooted a friends inc. Just retried it and it worked fine.

I have never been able to use Windows 7 to use Unrevoked to get root. I have always had to use an Ubuntu live cd to get it to take.

I tried 3 times with the same result every time. I know windows 7 used to be a problem, but I figured they fixed that issue. Is there anything else that would be causing this?

With Windows it's all about the drivers that are installed, and making the proper satanic sacrifices.
Give the Ubuntu live CD a try, since it wont have to worry about windows drivers, couple other people I work with had to go that route because Windows was being a pain.

So install a completely new OS just to root?

You don't have to install anything. You can run the OS from the CD itself.

Try hard reset & then unrevoked. I had the same issues until I did this.
The problem is he doesn't want to lose all his apps/game data. He about lost it when his SD card was unreadable - though I was able to fix it.
I appreciate all the suggestions. If it comes down to it, I will just do the hard reset.
With the ubuntu CD, I can just run the OS from the CD, download Unrevoked from within ubuntu, then run it?

Yes, that easy. Just be sure to run it with sudo(superuser permission).

I read that suggested on androidforums as well... The instructions say to keep it on charge only, so that's why I didn't try 'disk drive'. Seems logical to try that though...

Its a bit off topic but i wanted to see if any of you can help me out ive got an hp touchsmart 600 running windows 7my the problem im having is that it wont boot up any more and it gets stuck on the windows starting iam able to boot it under safe mode ive tried using the recovery discs and it also freezes any ideas? Thank you
Was any software or hardware added, changed or removed since the last time it did boot up normally ?
Forgot to mention i did get a maleware or spyware thru a website called "cloud av 2012" and inremoved it by booting it in to safe mode and runing malewarebites program
If you can boot into safe mode, it should be possible to perform a system restore to a point before you got infected.

Ive tried that and it didnt work either
Get a real windows disk and wipe it ..... You will lose everything but it will work ..... Its very hard to get rid of those infections...
It may be easier to install mint & not worry about those infections again ...means you will have to learn linux but much better than windows ... Or if you need its really easy to dual boot it now ... Install windows clean first and then mint or ubuntu ...

If that's what is installed .....use a iso burner to burn it on dvd and then boot it wipe everything and reinstall you will be good to start over....and don't go back to website where you got infection.

Download a live environment boot disk that will load an OS right off the cd and work from there. if it's boot issues, the windows 7 boot disk has a repair option that surprisingly fixes most boot issues without reinstallation. The live environment disk will let you view your hard drive, so if you're going for a full wipe, you can backup w.e files you want

Hi,
Quick question here; Is there any way to change Arc's kernel with Linux Ubuntu operating system? I have done it hundreds of times with Windows, but I couldn't find any tutorials for Linux.
Why a computer noob uses Linux anyway, you might ask. Well, Windows won't boot on my computer, and I'm also getting fed up with all the slowness and unstability, so I started using Ubuntu again. At least it doesn't crash.
Thanks...
i looking too for Linux tutorial.
But i very need drivers for fastboot
Found it out already. Download Flashtool from development thread.

Hi, Guys I just installed ubuntu on my HTC IND2 & I don't like it it sucks...How do I uninstall it? I have searched the web I have no luck...it only shows for the PC version... Pls. Help. Thanks.
If you can get into the bootloader and get into recovery, then you could theoretically flash another ROM to get off Ubuntu, but idk installing Ubuntu might have overwritten that. That would be the easiest method, though.

Did you load it while inside of android or did you fully install it on your phone?

hi, I used the adb terminal emulator in my phone. I deleted the ubuntu file in the sd card & VNC... I don't now if it was fully uninstalled....? Ubuntu will only appear if i connect through VNC running some commands... like cd/sdcard/ubuntu then sh ubuntu.sh

Ubuntu only runs on top of my android system if I run it in the adb terminal emulator and connects to VNC....I deleted the ubuntu file on my sd card...& vnc but I'm not sure if it was fully uninstalled . It's like running 2 Operating system at 1 phone.
So even after deleting the ubuntu image you can still load it in terminal? That is all you have to do to install it from your phone.

So I've tried flashing both CM9 and CM10 roms but no matter what I do I can't get it to recognize my sdcard or my internal storage on my Mac. I've even tried formatting the card to fat32 and still nothing. Any ideas what I should do to get this to work? How is it working for you guys? I would post this in the CM threads but I rather not clutter it with questions. Thanks in advance
What do you mean it won't recognize your sdcard? The recovery won't read it? If so, which recovery do you have?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
When connected, you should get a notification telling you that your phone is connected via USB.
Select it, and make sure that it's connected as PTP.
MTP does not work on Macs.

Well its readable cause I can still download stuff to it from the web but it just will not mount on my Mac. It'll give me an option on my phone from the notification but android file transfer won't recognize it

The recovery definitely reads it cause that's how I revert back to my nandroid back up

Sounds like you should just invest in an external SD card reader. Or look into wireless file transfer even though I don't trust that when it comes to transferring roms... I don't use macs so I'm little help lol.

Thats exactly what I use when Im on FREE GS3 rom, but whenever I switch to a CM9 or CM10 rom it just doesnt mount. Im starting to think maybe its the kernel CM based roms are using
PTP currently does not work on Cm9/10 roms, which is why your having problems it is the main reason keeping me away from using either one as a daily driver for now
Any updates on this? I'm using the latest CM10 nightly - it would sure be nice to be able to connect to my Mac.

Being a Mac user I know the issue you are talking about. I have installed Windows 7 Ultimate on a Boot Camp partition. In finder open Applications-Utilities-Boot Camp. There will be a printable tutorial. The Boot Camp application literally walks you through the process. I have found this method far better than running a V.M.
still no fix?
Hi

3. Install Android File transfer
4. Reboot mac

Works for me.
