i exracted fre3vo file into the same folder with adb.exe i discovered that the fre3vo file from xda & the fre3vo file from strawmetal are not of the same size. please can u give me a link to download a good fre3vo or most importantly another way to downgrade to frozen yorugot:crying:

Just go to the xda wiki, all the files are there along with the md5sums for each file needed. You can check to see if yours match (just google search if you don't know how) you must have gotten a bad download, it happens

please i don't understand, do you mean i can root my stock 2.3.3 without downgrading to froy?

As spelled out in the wiki you will have to downgrade first, it doesn't take long to do so don't worry about it. The whole process takes about 15min, but leave yourself an hour in case you get stuck. Really its pretty straight forward

[Q] downgrade problem

I tried to root my Desire Z running Andorid 2.2.1 by following guide on Cyanogen wiki.
Since my software version is 1.82.405.1 I had to downgrade it first. I gained temporary root but when I reboot to bootloader and try to flash PC10IMG.zip it start loading but It fails when cheking file. I'm sure I downloaded it correctly because I checked md5. What am I doing wrong, or have I missed something?
Try fastboot, very easy (just rename the file,look at the wiki)! It's really easy, I downgraded and rooted in about one hour.
I also have problems with downgrading. I'm currently using stock 2.3.4 on my G2. When I try to downgrade it to 1.19.531.1 using the guide from CyanogenMod Wiki I face a problem. When I insert this line "/data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start FAA90000 -end FFFFFFFF" into cmd it says: "/data/local/tmp/fre3vo: not found"
How can I fix this?

EDIT: @kepos: you may need a goldcard / @Isstatu1: you first need to push fre3vo to data/... and then chmod 777 it...
I push the fre3vo and it shows a lot of text in cmd. then I write "adb shell", everything works, the $ sign appear, then I write the "chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo" part, it says: "Usage: chmod <MODE><FILE>". After that i write "/data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start FAA90000 -end FFFFFFFF" and it says that fre3vo is not found..

If you type adb devices, your device is listed?
What does it show if you push fre3vo? ...because as far as i remember it should only show you how long it took to push
Yes it shows my device.
Now, when I type "> adb shell cat /dev/msm_rotator"
it shows
/dev/msm_rotator: not found"
Nvm the underline part, it works now. But still having problems with fre3vo..
Can I PM you?

EDIT: where did you put the fre3vo file on your pc? because either you have to put the files you want to push directly into the adb tool folder or you have to tell adb where it is...

[Q] How do you use this adb command?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912
5. Run the following commands from your platform-tools directory.
Code:
> adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp
> adb shell
$ chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo
$ /data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start FAA90000 -end FFFFFFFF
I am able to do "adb push fre3vo", "adb shell", and "chmod 777" without a directory. I tried adding my directory "C:\android-sdk_r16-windows\platform-tools" but it doesn't work, what do I do for "C:\android-sdk_r16-windows\platform-tools/fre3vo -debug -start FAA90000 -end FFFFFFFF"?
Edit: I just probably forgot how to add my directory correctly, could someone show me how? And how to use commands with it?
You would type in the command window "cd c:/(your directory)". Then whatever you type after that will take pplace in the directory you entered.

Thanks, but it only works for the first command, but doesn't work for the last 2, I even deleted the fre3vo file from the platform-tools folder and put in the folder fre3vo in it instead, and they still do not work.
How do I add fre3vo to my directory correctly? Should the file or folder of fre3vo be in the platform-tools folder?
The fre3vo command is run on the phone via shell.
When you enter adb shell, it opens a prompt with $, this is the terminal for the phone itself. All you need to do it type in those commands.
Think of "adb shell" as "Start > Run > 'cmd' > enter" on Windows.

I'm going to double post and give a run-down of what you are doing here as it sounds like you're confused.
"adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp/fre3vo" - You're moving the fre3vo files from c:\blahblahblah\platform-tools to /data/local/tmp/fre3vo on the phone
"adb shell" - You are opening the phone's command line interface through adb (similar to what I said in my previous post).
"chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo" - You are setting the read write permissions through the phones terminal for the file on the phone itself
"/data/local/tmp/fre3vo (insert extra commands)" - You are executing the fre3vo file with particular switches attached to the command.
after "chmod 777" I get:
"Usage: chmod <MODE> <FILE>
After "-debug -start FAA90000 -end FFFFFFFF" I get "-debug: permission denied" at the end.
Edit: rebooting phone and cmd, and about to try the other 5 -debug commands
Edit: This last time I just put in the commands without the directories, which seems to be the only way to get chmod 777 to work... You are correct I am confused, I would like to know what exactly to put into my cmd. Also forgot to put the file fre3vo back into platform-tools...
You have to specify the file you are changing permissions on. In this case it would be:
Code:
chmod 777 /data/local/temp/fre3vo
Essentially you are tell the phone: "Hey, that fre3vo file at /data/local/tmp location needs to have read/write access set to 777"

How?
Also "chmod 777' only works without a directory for me "adb push fre3vo" works without, and with both "cd /data/local/tmp" and "cd C:\android-sdk_r16-windows\platform-tools"
I'm sorry if it seems I a being difficult, I really can't figure this out.
Edit: also it's the "-debug -start FAA90000 -end FFFFFFFF" command that gives me a permission denied, not "chmod 777""
Edit: Reread your other post, I tried "chmod 777 cd /data/local/temp/fre3vo" but it tells me there is no such file or directory.
Ok, i think i understand the problem.
You think that the $ prompt is still the windows prompt, it isn't.
When you are at the command line in windows at the location "c:\blahblahblah\platform-tools" and type in the command "adb shell" you leave the windows command line and enter the Linux/Android command line for the phone. At that point you are entering linux commands, not windows, and they are executing on the phone (you're just viewing it on the PC). Linux commands don't need you to specify folder location like platform-tools.
So when I say
Code:
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo
It means "hey linux/android on the phone, take the Fre3vo file (/fre3vo) at location /data/local/tmp (on the phone) and give it permissions (chmod is the command giving permissions) equal to 777 (read/write/execute)"
chmod = the command to change permissions
777 = the permissions of read/write/execute
/data/local/tmp = the location of the file on the phone (it was moved there by adb push /data/local/tmp/fre3vo)
/fre3vo = the particular file you want to change the permission.
Make sense?
Ok I saw your post about file not found. Exit out of the windows command line and move the fre3vo file back to c:\blahblahblah\platform-tools like you had earlier. Start back over with the adb push command.
Code:
adb push c:\blahblahblah\platform-tools\fre3vo /data/local/tmp/fre3vo
adb = android debugger
push = move the file (from) location (to) location
c:\blahblahblah\platform-tools\fre3vo = location and actual file on the PC
/data/local/tmp/fre3vo = location on the phone you want the file moved to
When it moves successfully you should see something to the effect:
Code:
Fre3vo (275Kb/s)
Yes and no. So after the adb shell I am still supposed to be entering the commands on the cmd correct? Without any directories then? So just "$ chmod 777" but what about the "-debug -start FAA90000 -end FFFFFFFF" there are 5 others I haven't tried yet?
Also trying to add the directory "/data/local/tmp" or "cd /data/local/tmp" makes it fail everytime.
Also I am on the homescreen/standby, should I be somewhere else on the phone, like bootloader or something?

I don't think it matters where you are at on the phone.
Yes you would just enter commands like "chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo" ($ is something that does not need to be entered).
I'm going to be away from the computer for about an hour. You may want to hop on IRC (do a search for it in these forums) and see if anyone there can walk you through it, otherwise ill be back later.

Alright cool, thanks man, sorry if I gave you a headache lol.

No problem. The system ill be at has the sdk installed so I can take screenshots and load them.

1. I tried without the cd, it doesn't seem to work without it...
2. fre3vo, should the file or the entire folder be in the platform-tools folder?
3. When you told me to do the irc thing, I downloaded mIRC, but while installing it said I didn't have permission to install, so I had to close and right click and run as administrator. This could be a possible problem? And any idea how to fix it?
Edit: By #3 I am thinking maybe this same permission problem is causing "-debug -start FAA90000 -end FFFFFFFF" to give me a permission denied response.
Honestly its been so long since I've done this I don't remember if it is file or folder. Let me review it all and let you know.
Additionally, here are some screenshots of the commands (ignore the prompts beforehand as my setup is probably a bit different than yours, only the commands matter).
By the way, what guide are you using?
Yeah I figured, it's been out for a while.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912 I was linked to this guide from this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...sion#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD
Btw I can't see the screen shots.
To elaborate, place the fre3vo file inside of the fre3vo.zip file and the misc_version file inside the misc_version_01.zipfile in your platform-tools directory
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
My guess would be the files, not folders. You need to execute fre3vo, so it would be a file.
I've never done a downgrade, so someone else might be able to chime in with some experience.
I think you should restar. Push the files to the phone again. Then start adb shell. Then run chmod 777. And try running fre3vo again.

Am I supposed to put superuser on my phone first? If so do I just download it from the play store/market or use linda/astro with an .apk?
I get a permission denied when trying su.
Edit: I think once I get past this permission issue, I will breeze through the rest of the stuff. Also I tried doing everything after unlocking and setting my screen timeout to 30 minutes, still got permission denies.
Edit: I opened SDK Manager and updated everything and now I get it saying ADB servers didn't ACK.

I consider this progress since something other than no such file or directory didn't come up when I tried the directory without cd.

Thanks guys for your help. the first half from the unlockr website did the trick.

how can i instal instal official froyo to my 2.3.3

i was able to download stock froyo from HTC but i don't know how to instal it in my 2.3.3 Gingerbread version.
also i don't understand this instructions attached to firmware
Please follow below command to download the official android toolchain: (arm-eabi-4.4.3)
git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/prebuilt
NOTE: the tool ¡¥git¡¦ will need to be installed first; for example, on Ubuntu, the installation command would be: apt-get install git
--Modify the .bashrc to add the toolchain path, like bellowing example:
PATH=/usr/local/share/toolchain-eabi-4.4.3/bin:$PATH
Are you rooted with s-off? If not you must do this first if you want to easily change between roms. actually to properly root and obtain true s-off one of the steps will be to downgrade to stock froyo, follow the xda or cyanogen wiki to get there

This is your first error message. All following commands fail because of this. You cannot simply continue when one step is executed with error. You have to fix it and then continue.
The reason for the error message is simple. There is no such file as 'fre3vo' in the directory ‘C:\Documents and Settings\Patrolscsn’. Copy the file 'fre3vo' in this directory or change current directory to one where the file is located. If you don’t know how, then you should probably stop trying to root your device.
the fre3vo is in the directory!!!!!

Yes, the file fre3vo is in the directory:
C:\platform-tools
But your current directory is (the directory where you execute the commands):
C:\Documents and Settings\Patrolscsn
Execute this command to change your current directory:
cd C:\platform-tools
Good luck, you'll definitely need it
Hold shift and right click in the folder where fre3vo and fastboot.exe etc, then choose open command here
Now start from the begining

Thanks so much for the tip, finally after two weeks of searching how to get the magical // sign, I got it I’m ever grateful.:victory:
Please I want to upgrade my HTC sense, but I have no idea which custom sense is good for htc desire Z (I would have preferred sense 4.0 but sense 3.0 looks ok) which one should I go for?
Also which of the custom rom of ICS is best for desire z :highfive:

You’re welcome.
I’m not a big fan of Sense, but I would go for Sense 4, since it is more "lightweight" (consumes less storage and CPU) than Sense 3.x. You also have to distinguish between Sense 4.0 and Sense 4.0A which is even more lightweight.
Remember that our device has no official support from HTC, so all ICS ROMs are not perfect. You will notice some glitch here and there, but everything is getting better and better. Some ROMs are pretty stable thought, for example Andromadus Mimicry (which is based on Cyanogenmod 9.1). If you can live without Sense I would recommend you this ROM.
Here are some links to ROMs:
Cyanogenmod 9.1 - Andromadus Mimicry
Sense 4.0A - Gen.Y VisionX
Sense 4.0 - Ice Cream SENSEwich
is my phone bricked?

[Q] Rooting, pushed file not found?!?

Hey all! Desperately seeking help here: I'm rooting my MyTouch 3g slide, and have successfully completed all the steps up to this point where I need to run "rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin" from the devices "/data/local/tmp/" folder. The previous steps are as follows from cyanogen's wiki page:
"On the computer, open terminal and run the following commands:"
Code:
adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp/
adb shell
chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
/data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
All of these with the exception of the last line are successful. After running chmod 755, I typed the following:
Code:
ls -l /data/local/tmp/
I get the following result:
Code:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5392 Aug 25 2010 rageagainstthecage-arm5
.bin
but finally, entering
Code:
/data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
I get
Code:

It's there. I don't get it. Heeeelllpp meeeeeeee
