Thinking about rooting

i got a US cellular HTC desire with 2.2
im thinking about rooting my phone.
i heard that the unrevoked method is the easiest to use..
i read a few guides on that.. seems pretty straight forward cant mess that up.
after i root i would like to flash a custom rom..
what is a good app or program to use to back up my phone? what are some good roms? what is the best way to flash a ROM.
i read the guides here and they confuse me as i read many ways to do this. just want the easiest way to do it and get it done right.

Try ClockworkMod ROM Manager
ROM Manager is really easy to use and it can also backup your ROM ...it can also help you browse/download other ROMs.

With unrevoked you cannot root your phone yet. You have to use the alpharev x.

I dunno about unrevoked working on that hboot but I know that revolutionary does. However that only gets you S-OFF, then you have to flash recovery (or you can have it flashed in the process), with which you may flash another ROM.
always remember to do a nandroid backup though!
Also, you having a CDMA desire makes things a bit tougher... for example you can't use the different Hboots from alpharev as they will brick your phone.. and don't quote me on this buy all ROMs may not work on it.

so i guess i wont root my phone... really dont wanna take a chance of bricking my phone. unless theres a very easy way to do it with a slim to none chance of error

so what can i do?

no it's absolutely safe for you to S-OFF.. so don't have to worry about that, just that there are less things available for the BravoC than the Bravo e.g. not all ROMs support BravoC (I know Cyanogenmod does)
Once you've S-OFF'd and flashed recovery (you are prompted whether you would like to flash recovery in the S-OFF process, select yes) you can just flash a custom ROM. Just always remember to do a nandroid backup before you flash anything!!!, and it's also good to do a full wipe before flashing, as you don't get crap from previous ROM (ofc. back it up before you wipe it lol)

thats his hboot version because he has a BravoC, which has a different hboot version.. that's why I'm unsure whether unrevoked would work (I mean yes, it works on BravoC but I don't know what version/ hboot etc. so It'd be safer to S-OFF, flash recovery, then flash ROM, instead of rooting with unrevoked and flashing recovery through that... get what I mean?)

is there a step by step guide for that?

download revolutionary, turn on USB debugging on your phone, plug it in via USB and run revolutionary (following the process on their sit, all it is, is entering the beta key which is given to you, after that everything is done for you)
During the process, you are prompted whether you wish to install clockworkmod recovery, choose yes (unless you would like to install a better recovery choose no, and I'll continue the guide for that )
If you chose yes to flash recovery while using revolutionary, then skip this step, and any of the lime coloured writing, if you chose no, then follow on and ignore any orange coloured writing.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Download this recovery, and put it in c:\
Download the attached fastboot.zip, and unpack it into c:\
Open cmd and type:
Code:
cd\
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery c:\recovery-RA-desire-v2.0.0.img
fastboot oem gencheckpt
Note: the last command will boot you into recovery
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Whether you chose to flash clockworkmod recovery in the S-OFF'ing process, or you flashed the Ra Desire recovery in the process I told you about, either way, you should now have a functioning recovery.
>From here, you need to make a nandroid backup (from backup & restore) of your stock, unrooted ROM.
>Once you've got the backup if you're in clockworkmod go to mounts and storage, format boot, format system, format userdata, format cache, go to advanced settings and format dalvic cache.
>If you're in Ra Desire, go to wipe, and select wipe all user data.
>Once you've backed up, and wiped your phone, proceed to install a ROM of your choice from the SD-card. If you are using clockworkmod, choose the install zip from sdcard, flash zip from sd-card, then choose a ROM you downloaded.

Hope that helped you, and hope it's not too confusing for you with all the colour coding and stuff lol

sounds pretty easy.. how do i go bout flashing a rom and what is a good rom that will work with my phone?
on the backup goto back and restore and select back up?
how do i restore once i have a new rom on my phone?

yes, you just select backup and it backs itself up.
If you would like to restore, then you do a full wipe, go to backup and restore, select restore and choose which backup you would like to restore
no, nothing is deleted until you flash
to flash a ROM, like I said in the guide:
>Once you've backed up, and wiped your phone, proceed to install a ROM of your choice from the SD-card. If you are using clockworkmod, choose the install zip from sdcard, flash zip from sd-card, then choose a ROM you downloaded.

when you select that option, it will take you into a menu with everything in your sd-card, you just have to find where you put the ROM you want, and select it with the trackpad, it will flash itself, then reboot.
This will work on your phone. I'm 110% Sure http://www.cyanogenmod.com/devices/htc-desire-cdma

so i back up my phone before i flash and after the flash do i restore to get everything back to how it was but with the new rom?

nonnoo you don't restore after flashing.. When you flash a different ROM, you flash a completely different version of Android, that developers have changed/modded. You perform a backup in order to be able to go BACK to your old ROM, if you don't like your new one, or if something goes wrong with it. You only restore when you want to go back to your previous ROM.

is there a way to copy all my messages and apps and stuff like that?
i know some roms dont come with the google apps how do i get those?
what is the best rom out of those three? there any pics of how they look?

very right I almost forgot about the google apps.
cyanogenmod doesn't come with them, download this and flash it in the same way you would the ROM (WITHOUT WIPING ANYTHING!!) http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version/Google_Apps
You can usually find screenshots of most ROMs.. so it's just about doing some research.
and you can use an app called sms backup+ from the market.
I'd suggest backing up your contacts too! or moving them to the sim card

ok thank you sooo much for your help ill pm you if i have any questions

[Q] Help! Stuck on white HTC screen after installing root!

So I installed CWM recovery, and installed the rmk root setup zip. Before I installed it, I wiped the cache but not the Dalvik cache. When I rebooted, it hung on the white HTC screen. I went back into recovery and wiped dalvik cache, cache and even data and settings, then installed the zip again and it still hangs. can somebody help me? Honestly at this point I just want to be able to use my phone again.
Thanks in advance

Did you install the root zip that included the froyo stock kernel? I made the same mistake. Just have to adb a compatible 2.3 kernel into your sdcard and flash it.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160745
i'm pretty sure this is the zip i used. if thats what you're talking about, then how do I fix it?

You cant use that .zip because it uses the Froyo kernal which is incompatible. You have to push jcase's GB kernal to your sd card then flash that.

I'm sorry for the stupid question, and thank you so much for your help, but where can i find that? and what commands do I use to push the kernel to the phone?

Have no fear as long as you can get into CWM then you are still good.
How long does it hang, sometimes it takes a few minutes for that HTC screen to go away, especially if you wiped data. you might want to wait, a little bit.
You can always download a stock rom(jcase plainjane rom), get into CWM, and then mount your USB to be able to install from your computer, and then flash the new rom.
Did you make a backup before you flashed the update, you can always recover.

If you can get into CWM, look for Mounts/Storage and mount your USB so you can access your Phones SD card from your computer, then transfer the file from your computer to your phone.
or use adb if you are familiar with that.

you did get S-Off first right?

yes i have s-off, no i did not make a recovery (i wasnt aware i could do that before i rooted but i have come to terms with the fact that I lost a bunch of data).
okay, so i put the file on my sd card and... what? is it a zip file? where can i find it?
just so i understand, once I get this rooted kernel, i will be rooted and i will be able to install the cwm app and go from there?

and i don't necessarily want the stock rooted... i guess i could go from there but for right now could i download a 2.3 kernel with a different rom? are kernels bundled with roms or do i need to install them separately?
sorry, i'm a new user so i keep having to wait 5 minutes...

Kernels, can be rom specific or bundled but currently for the dinc2 there arent a lot so make sure it doesnt say it belongs to a specific rom otherwise it might not work.
Jcase has a stock kernel and rom he put up a while back for gingerbread.
They will be a .zip file and all you have to do is using recovery choose zip file and run it, since you already deleted everything.
When you install a rom, it will add su and busybox, and root your phone. You need your phone rooted to be able to do anything, after S-off.
if you have recovery installed then you have CWM and really what you want is Rom Manager to do backups.

tiamat kernel is an AOSP kernel. for CM7/MIUI/OM(F)GB
you'll get bootloops if you flash it on a sense rom.

so should i flash that, then flash something like MIUI? can i do that? and do i have to wipe data/cache/dalvik before the kernel AND before i install MIUI?
thanks

I would get a Rom working first which is your OS, the kernel jut says how it should run.

but apparently i have a froyo kernel installed right now? how should I fix that?

[Q] Rom Manager and CWM

Hi, I have my phone unlocked via htcdev. I installed CWM by alquez, but it doesn't detect it in ROM Manager. I have tried going into recovery from rom manager, then rebooting from cwm, still nothing works. Only rebbot to recovery works in rom manager. Any solutions?

The CWM from Alquez is unofficial not supported by rom manager dev i think. The same thing was with samsung galaxy ace , don't flash recovery from manager you can get brick...

It's non sense ROM.
I didn't like it too, so I just flashed sense rom.
Anyway, you can install any launcher you like, and use it as default one.
About google account.
That ROM doesn't have anything to do with google's apps, so you'll have to install gapps.
Find it somewhere, latest version is from 28.8.2011 I think.
It's .zip file, just flash it through recovery.

Can anybody help with CWM7 ?
I've tried to load this onto my phone but I keep failing. The app does not load. I cannot access any recovery, albeit standard or CWM. Everytime I try from the the bootloader screen and enter recovery, The phone gives me a Black Screen with a Picture and a Red Triangle in the middle and nothing else happens. I then have to reboot the phone.
Am I doing something wrong or am I missing something.
Is there a step by step guide to help make this work for me.
I have searched for a couple of days now and I cannot find anything that for me.
My phone is S-ON and Bootloader Unlocked via HTC-Devs.
Any help from you experts out there will be appreciated, even if it's just pointing me in the right direction.

[Q] bootloader unlocked + rooted but still can't install any rom in any way

Dears,
after a big battle with my HTC Wildfire S,
i was able to unlock the bootloader than root the phone,
but i'm not able to flash any new rom,
i tried all the below:
1- using the RUU: it stops after checking the signature and give ERROR 155
2- using the rom.zip file (that i copy it from temp folder when RUU is started), the file doesn't open
3- i extracted the rom.zip with 7zip then rezipped, now it's opening but it's not being installed
Opening update package...
Installing update...
Installation aborted
i tried also to rename the file to PG76IMG.zip but i also got an error...
N.B: i'm using more than one image, and same result with all
i've been working on that for more than 3 days, pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase help

Do you have CWM installed? If not, install it first (you can find an auto-installer that worked great for me here: http://www.mediafire.com/?b0bsb4ms4lo714b (it's from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1431969))
Then boot into your recovery (which would then be CWM), do a backup first, then do a factory reset, wipe your cache, then go into Advanced and wipe your Dalvik cache. Then go back to the menu, select "Install zip from SD card", select the .zip file of the mod you're trying to install and finally install it. Once that's done, reboot, and the mod should be installed.
I hope you were able to follow that. If not, I'll gladly explain further. If you were able to follow this and it worked, then click the Thanks button down below for me please .
EDIT: I forgot to say, before you boot into your recovery, make sure the .zip file is on the root of your SD card and isn't called PG76IMG.zip, else your HBOOT will think it's an update to the HBOOT / Recovery / whatever, try to install it and obviously fail, leaving you with only one option: reboot (into Android).

You maybe use recovery to flash any rom but official rom.

i use rom manager make sure to click delete delvk +cache quick and easy you can even make a nandroid backup on the ui

I think I know what's wrong. The zip you have is extracted from the HTCDEV RUU. Find a RUU from the ROM collection, extract the zip, put it on the root, boot CWM, wipe cache, system, Dalvik, then flash the ROM from the SD card. Taa Daa!

LOL. I watched The Matrix Revolutions last night! And reloaded last week!
Anyway, if you want a stock ROM, follow my instructions, but if you want a custom ROM, follow my instructions again but this time don't use the zip from the stock ROM, use the zip you downloaded. You should probably rename it to update.zip, if it ain't already.
If you want a custom ROM, but want to have one that is mostly stock but has a bit of juice in it, then search for Chocolate & Coffee. I made it. Then when you get fed up, try .sense, or CM7, or something like that!

I don't know where you heard that you have to enable fastboot, but that information is incorrect.
To root and s-off using revolutionary, you must enable USB Debugging from Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB Debugging. then install hboot, fastboot and adb drivers (http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install ; http://www.redmondpie.com/how-to-set-up-android-adb-and-fastboot-on-windows-tutorial/).
Then, run revolutionary while the phone is plugged in your PC.
(For kevikevs: download revolutionary from www.revolutionary.io)

Thank you very much, I'm now rooted! ... I guess?
Revolutionary closed by itself after i opted to install the ClockWorkMod tool.

Well, you don't install it yet.
In my sig there's an sd-card partitioning guide. You will have to partition your sd-card to have your internal memory increased. Follow it, using the fastboot method.
Then you can install a JB rom.

Thanks very much. I will go with your recommendation
Chris.

Sorry to butt in here, but I've been reading this topic in hopes of learning about dual-boot myself. I've downloaded and tried several ROMs, but never two at a time
Props to both of you. This has been very helpful. Think I can dual-boot vanilla with HTC One's ROM? Tried it at a store, felt very nice.

Woop! Woop! Flashed successfully XD
Now what should i install? This is the first time i have ever had an Android phone of my own.
Also, i would like to dual boot if possible and install the latest Sense UI (the one the OneX has).

Congratz!!
You should first follow the instructions in the rom thread for activating a2sd, in case you haven't already.
Unfortunately, i don't know anything about dual boot.

Ok i have had a look and I'm not sure what this "a2sd" is? I can't see it.
I have installed the google apps .zip located in the ROM thread.
Can i now wipe my SD card, or is the ROM running from it?
Never mind, you have helped me enough already. I'll work out dual booting another time.

A2sd is the script that moves apps to your sd-ext (the partition on your sd-card that you created using my guide). It will let you install way more apps. There are instructions in the ROM thread.
