Hi,
I am spent ages trawling various forums trying to find a way to upgrade my Desire to a Stock HTC rom with 2.2 update. Most of the postings i have found apply to a hboot lower than what i am on or aren't carrier locked.
My phone versions are as follows:
Firmware Version: 2.1-update1
Baseband Version: 32.42.00.32U_4.09.00.08
Kernel Version: 2.69.29-54b7033a
Software: 1.22.61.1
HBOOT: 0.83.0001
Radio: 4.09.00.08
Jun 10 2010, 12:12:05
(AMOLED Screen)
I have built a goldcard and although i have updated the ROMS on my previous HTC HD i am new to android and as the device is brand new i need to get this right.
Any help anyone can provide in getting me to version 2.2 without HTC Sense would be very much appreciated.
Cheers
Andy

are you certain its Amoled first?

I am pretty certain it is amoled - If you go to the all programs list and tilt the handset away from you the screen still looks very black and icons are crisp and visible. I believe the SLCD appears as a dark grey if you do the same thing.
Doesn't matter with the guide I posted as it works for both...

thanks for the quick reply. I will download the file and try it. One concern though is that it says on the first post, that "This utility will quickly, safely and easily downgrade froyo to stock Android 2.1".
I am already on on 2.1 and want to get to a stock 2.2 - i take it this will still work then?
thanks in advance.
Yes, it'll work on any ROM.

Yep, just flash using that guide and then you'll be on a working 2.1 ROM which you can upgrade to 2.2 either via the OTA or RUU (depending on what you wanna do - I'd personally use the 2.10.405.2 RUU as it's got the voice keyboard in it)
Am I right in thinking the utility linked to in this thread will effectively unbrand my Orange HTC Desire?
Once I've done that, I'll be able to root with unrevoked3.2 (when it's online again)...
And then all I have to do is make sure I have an unlock code, flash the latest radio, unlock the SIMlocked Orange SIM, and then I can flash any custom ROM I like (e.g. CyanogenMod)...
Have I understood all this correctly?
Apparently the new radios DON'T lock the Orange handsets (but get a code just in case)
I have used 3 different radios now and never been asked for an unlock code (which is good as I did try to get one but was not on the database yet)
You can root with unrevoked 3.14 (still available) once you've flashed the unbranded 2.1 ROM. If you don't want to root you'll be offered the OTA update to 2.09.x.
Thanks all for the advice. I think I've finally plucked up the courage to do this. This is the most succint few threads on this subject so thanks a lot!
OK, i gave it ago... without success
I get the following:

Did you have your gold card in the phone?
Yes the gold card is in the phone.
The process of creating that was very simple. Im sure i didnt make any errors in creating this. Do you think this is where the problem lies?
cheers.
Andy
try to make the goldcard again, it is so easy to make a mistake when creating it.
That won't fail because of the goldcard. Did you wait a minute before continuing, like it said? And did you try running it again?

Just wondering if anybody can help....Ive been out of the loop for a couple of weeks so there might be something im missing but heres whats happening. Since before i took a break from the Epic i havent been able to get any roms to successfully install except for midnightrom and i beleive bonsai. Now i was able to get supernova but only with RFS......nothing ever works with ext4, not with the latest CWM or the last build.....When rooting i get a long list of PING errors and then at the bottom it says root successful but unable to clean or delete something , i forget what it says, i tried to copy and paste what it said to here but it wouldnt let me. It then tells me to delete files manually in local/data/temp . I have no idea what this is referring to on my pc and or the phone. I even wiped the sd card to see if it was on there. I think this is what is giving me bad luck with flashing. Almost every rom just gets stuck at the samsung screen and or just gives me hours of trouble..........Any idea?

Try using Odin to get back to stock EC05. This should also restore ur original system files, so in theory, maybe fix whatever is giving you troubles. Afterwards, just root, and try flashing a ROM like u regulalry would. Try it and tell me how it works out, if not, maybe I can try looking around and find another solution/suggestion.

Perhaps you have missed it that the latest cwm does not convert to ext4?
Only cwm 3.0.0.6 converts. If you use cwm 3.0.2.5 then you need to either have converted first using 6 or run the ext4 conversion script before installing an ext4 rom.

Ive odined back to ec05 many many times as well as let it do its OTA thing from odin eb13 as i like using that because i dont really trust the odin with ec05 as there seems to be no official file like there is for eb13 and back.. and i always get the same results. Same with the new CWM ive done the manual conversion with the zip too.....it appears all rooting on my phone is broken. I dont get it. lol Lost.

Does the SuperUser app atleast appear in your apps list? As mjben stated above, the newest Clockwork (3.0.2.5. I believe) does not convert to EXT4 format, only 3.0.0.6 does. It could be possible ur trying to install an EXT4 ROM with an active RFS system which could explain why the ROMs dnt install. As far as using the Odin method to go back to stock, not really sure why ur phone is reacting that way. Whenever I have problems, I Odin back to EC05 and re-root and flash a ROM n everything is fixed. I have heard of rare occurences where ppl do lose root permanently on their phones tho. Let's just hope that's not ur case. And just for the record, I'm as baffled as u are with this
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Yea the superuser app DOES appear in my app list....and like i said after the first time that i realized the new version doesent auto convert to ext4 i found the zip and used it........and it makes no difference. Although my phone successfully roots i get all these errors saying something about Ping and not being able to clean soemthing up and to manually delete files in data local temp.....Im leanining towards this having soemthing to do with my computer and not the phone and it may be causing problems with cwm on to my phone .......im not the most advanced around here , but it seems logical lol.......ive rooted a evo shift on the computer using adb and all that.......could this be interfering?
The EC05 tar is in this thread and K0nane said this is official:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052813
Thanks Kenny ^^^
Your computer could also be to blame as u say. I dnt think having rooted a Shift with ur computer is the cause of the problem. Maybe, just maybe, it could be a faulty usb cable. I had trouble rooting a while back when we were still on EB13. I just switched cables and usb ports and I was back in business. However, try downloading and using the EC05 Tar from the link Kenny posted. As he stated, k0nane himself said it was an official tar file, so rest assured. If all else fails, we might need to PM someone more familiar with Clockwork n see what files have to be manually deleted from ur phone.

Perhaps it is my USB cable....it is a little funky. But that really messes up a root? Even when it gos through as successful still? I dont get that. Also , for all of these EC05 roms , i have to odin to EC05 even though im already on it through OTA? Whenever i odin back to EB13 i end up right back on EC05 within 5 minutes anyway, so what does odining the EC05 modem have to do with anything , as all of the roms seem to deamand , when i already have it?
EDIT: It says this about 40 times at different points:
"Ping is not recognized as an internal or external command , operable program , or batch file"
and then if it does work (sometimes it doesent and gives me other errors) it says this :
"Root succeeded , But cleanup failed. Manually remove files in /data/local/temp. Press any key to continue."
now , who would i go about pming? lol i have no idea
It could be a faulty cable. Most Devs recommed u buy a cable not manufactured by Samsung as they are cheap. I ordered a higer quality BlackBerry cable off Amazon for about $1.29 not to long ago (including shipping). Investing in a new cable could be good, maybe even if it isn't ur cable isn't faulty. It just occured to me, maybe the root exploit u downloaded could be corrupt or have missing files. Re-download Clockwork 3.0.0.6 and re-root and see if that helps. As for finding someone to PM about this issue, I'm working on it. I will have a link for u soon.

Ping is a command line command from Windows or on MAC. There is a problem with your PATH command that is causing it not to find ping.
Try adding this line in the top of the run.bat file for use on a windows pc:
PATH=%PATH%;C:\windows\system32\
I found PING.EXE in that directory.

Yes, just edit the run.bat with any text editor. I had to do something similiar for java. I too am using my Palm Pre cable for the silver dot! I hate our connectors on the top.
Alright the command did not work ....dunno if this was there before but now im noticing a message that says 'FIND is not recognized as an internal or external command ,operable program or batch file'
I also get failed messages for busybox being unable to install or not found

I can't see FIND anywhere in the batch file. As for busybox, did you disable your anti-virus before running it? You may need to redownload the Clockwork files. Some anti-virus programs delete files in the download.
You can also copy ping.exe from windows\system32 into the directory you have all the rooting files in.
Well I figured out how to copy and paste on the run.bat lol and actually the edit of the run.bat did work for the ping thing but here is a closer look of what is happening now......and ya i dont have any antivirus programs running plus i seem to be getting the same results on 2.5. 3.0 and 3.0.2

Anyone used it on the ion yet? Did you just choose the #2 option? I just did this on my Xperia P (LT22) and it worked like a charm. Make sure if you have a backup through the ICS backup & restore app you move it to the removeable SD card or back it up first onto your computer as this process will erase any backups stored on internal memory.
NOTE: On my Xperia P it didn't remove the previous backup I had sooooo...just backup your backup just in case

I for one would love a nice custom ROM for the Ion. Something lightweight, fast, battery optimisations. I loved the Android Revolution HD custom ROMs for my HTC Incredible S. The guy took stock roms and did what HTC should have done: made them fast, efficient, and awesome

I had been wondering about that. The phone have very few differences. The ones of note are the different radio and that the Ion has an SD slot. Aside from that I think it's all the same guts.
tried this method with the version 6 (Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v6) everything went smoothly and finished,

You should have installed an app called Back up and restore, once it gets to that point you go to your phone Leaving it plugged into the pc and leaving the CMD window open, open the app and click restore, it should say it failed on your phone but the CMD says it worked it should reboot twice and you should be G2G
Confirmed! LT28i Build 6.1.E.1.19 Rogers Phone

Download Flash tool and the 105 FtF flash it to your phone, Superuser is gone, put your phone back on Flashtool and click the Lock, youll now have SuperSU instead, when Superuser updates it stopped working, for me at least.

Check your settings in SuperSU or SuperUser, it may be set to auto deny.
Check the settings,.... I've tried it on "prompt" and "allow" and still the apps gets denied access
I keep running this and it keeps saying cannot specify path, sorry for all the noob questions. I'm use to good ol' sammy and Odin
I OTA updated to 4.2.2 I believe and am now on M919UVUAMDL which I think is the primary root of my issues if I have read correctly. I used ODIN and tried to put both the TWRP and CWM recovery files for root on their and it didn't work, I then tried using the setUIDrestrictRemovedKernel thingamajig to fix this issue but that doesn't seem to work either, then I tried motochopper 1.1 to root the device and it failed at the root. I have factory restored and tried again individually on these processes and to no avail.

thank you thank you, about time someone pointed me in the right direction I was roaming the google machine aimlessly to try and find the proper root procedure. thanks again, thanks thanks thanks
So I just got rom manager and want to test my titanium backup restore.zip but it says I have to have cwm recovery first, do I already have it through the root method you gave or do I need to do that as well. Also if I flash a new mod on my phone do I need to ensure the titanium backup is on the sd card or will it remain on the device? :flamethrower:

Guide to use SD card for storing apps and Games
FOR storing apps:use LINK2SD:
Get the app from here:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD
first guys XM/Mdual dont support ext4....please format ur sd 2nd partition to fat32...then u can link the apps....or else u will endup in bootloop...
use mini partition tools for windows...its easy to use...and easy to create a partition....
and connect your phone with MSC mode to PC for partitioning with the mini partition...which will in settings/xperia/usb connectivity/usb connection mode..
see here http://www.xperiablog.net/2011/12/12/link2sd-guide-never-worry-about-internal-memory-limits-again/
and follow the procedure in that site after 3rd step that is backup sd step in that site....[dont try to use that method of rooting...its not for m,just use guide for Creation of partition] ...
and how to link all given on above site...so now we can link apps which is going to be stored on SD 2nd partiton
FOR storing Game data and how to play game:use GL2SD:
get the app from here:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.slf.ListglApp
Guide:
first whatever game u need to play...use some website to download them ...bcoz u wont have space required in internal sdcard if u want to download from playstore...
so i assume u have downloaded the game apk + data from some website....and u have extracrted the zip or rar to somewhere in pc...
1.copy the apk to sdcard1...[Note:sdcard1 is ur external sdcard]
2.see the data folder...
mostly data folder has game name inside them mostly android/obb/game name/ or android/data/game name/ [game name will start as com.xxxxxx.yyy] structure will be followed and
some gameloft or reputed company will have their company name/games/game name/ [game name will start as com.xxxxxx.yyy] structure for games
3.now if it has .obb format file inside the above given structures...then copy game name folder and place them in sdcard1/obb/ [eg:sdcard1/obb/com.rockstar.gta3/xxyyyy.obb]
or if it has many folders and files inside the above structure....then copy the game name folder and place them in sdcard1/data/ [eg:sdcard1/data/com.rockstar.gta3/]
4.now install game.apk from sdcard1 and open gl2sd
5.click mount [the joined chain symbol at top] and click play the game...if u didnt see game on list ...just open setting go down and click recover list
6.if u download some medium size game like 250mb directly from playstore..then open gl2sd and click top right button and choose move data and wait till it moves data] after that ur game data is stored on sdcard1 ....now play with same step 5
7.if game didnt open or cant play or some error...restart ur phone...and repeat the 5th step...
8.if game work..cool but remember to unmount[unlinked chain on top] after u finished playing games..or u cant paste anything in sdcard1
[Note:To run game you must mount after every reboot and unmount if u r going to copy some files to sdcard1]
if u cant understand what i said about gl2sd
see this video..maybe it will help u.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adLQgWyYIXQ
now u can mount any app or game to sdcard1...

Have you already have root access to your link2sd?
For 2nd partitions in sdcard format to ext3 and in link2sd select ext3 too.

Hi, I followed the instructions perfectly for my SingleSim Xperia M C1905 (firmware 15.1.C.2.8) but I can only get the half root. After doing the second part of the steps to fully root, when i try to RW using Root Explorer the phone reboots. So I am thinking the problem is somewhere in the last step when I do the Anto Kus Tool. Below is the result of using the Anto Kus Tool. The part below in bold looks like an error of some kind (rm failed for -f etc) and my phone is NOT being fully rooted (remains at only half root). Can someone please tell me what the below is saying? Some sort of error message right? Anyone have any ideas on what the problem could be? I have tried using the Anto Kus Tool like five times and always the same result as below.... and the phone remains at half-root. I don't know what to try next

And now the third try today. I am not giving up haha! Thinking perhaps the problem is with the BusyBox Free version I went ahead and uninstalled BusyBox Free and installed the BusyBox Pro version. I did this because the instructions on the first page say to install BusyBox and "give Smart Install" and since Smart Install is not available with the free version I got the Pro version.
So when I clicked the BusyBox Pro icon in the apps tray for the first time it took a long time to load which I think is normal. Then I enabled Smart Install and clicked install. Now it is saying that BusyBox 1.22.1-Stericson is installed to /system/xbin as i think it should be. So I am doing everything right so far right?
So now I run the Anto Kus Root Fixer again (Windows7 64 bit) and again it doesn't work (RW doesn't work, phone reboots). Below is the wording from the latest Anto Kus Root Fixer attempt. What is wrong?
When I run a Root Checker app I got from the Play Store it says this (but like I said my phone reboots when I try to RW)

So now it's the next day. I am determined to get full root. But again FAIL.
I started out the day by removing SD Card and doing a FACTORY RESET of my Xperia M. Then first thing I did was do the rooting instructions. But again full root FAIL. I am only able to get the half-root just like before. I am telling you that the Anto Kus Tool does not work or a VERY IMPORTANT KEY PART of the instructions is missing!
Well hopefully when the new KitKAt update for XperiaM comes out next month then a new rooting method will need be devised in order to root these damn Xperia M's. Because right now the current full-root method just does not work. And I have tried and tried and tried again again again
Well, here we are again trying to full-root my Xperia M.
This time I took my girlfriends Xperia M and followed the steps, hers has same firmware as mine. And it all worked perfect. No problems at all to get the full root. One thing I noticed different is that when I used the the Anto Kus Tool on my girlfriend's phone it only rebooted once during the whole procedure while with mine it rebooted twice (the second time right at the point where the Anto Kus tool says "Wait a few seconds to see if it worked ok then..." then my phone reboots a second time while with hers it didn't. I am assuming that that check is to see if the RW works. And of course mine always reboots as I have been explaining for the past week as I am not achieving the full root.
So there is something wrong with my phone. I need to totally erase it and start all over to reinstall the Sony Android OS etc. But I don't know how to do that so I will open a new thread and ask how...
So the moral of this story is that yes, the instructions work fine however not with every phone. With mine it doesn't, then I followed the same procedure that I had used on mine with her Xperia M and it did work fine, first time.

Well, it worked fine first time for me. Anyway, if you want to reflash stock firmware then use Sony's PCC. Go to Update and then repair (assuming you have a locked bootloader, if you don't then download an FTF and flash it)

Yes thank you, after so many tries I finally got full root. I had to do the repair with Sony PC Companion exactly how you said. Now full-root. I could tell it was working right away during the Anto Kus rootfixer because it rebooted only once during the procedure. And then RW was good to go/ Oh happy days
could not update system apps after using link2sd
Thanks for this post ...
m a noob at all this but hv been visiting xda forums since I purchased my xperia M 2 months back.
I have successfully rooted my phone, installed link2sd after lots of trials and now m facing an error while updating any system app.
It says : insufficient storage available
Is thr any solution to that, so that I can update my apps like Google Maps etc.

Ah yes, I got that too. But I was tinkering with Link2SD setting so I can't be sure.
I fixed it by going into Link2SD Plus (running Plus if it makes difference) and selected settings -> Install Location -> Automatic
I did have the option 'External' set, cause I thought that made more scene, but maybe some apps need the option of Internal or External.
Have a look and see if this applies to your problem.
thanks
