MetaMorph makes HTC Desire reboot?

I've installed Metamorph from the market but every time i start it up and do the checks it makes my phone reboot, i am clueless to what the problem could be.
I am rooted and using OpenDesire v1.3b ROM if that helps.

At the Moment system write is only possible in recovery, but for metamorph you need write access in Android.

I don't have a clue what you're on about tbh, I'm a newbie so bare with me
Shall i uninstall it?

Metamorph need access to /system files to write to those files. It needs this while your phone is switched on and working as normal.
The Desire only allows write access to those files while it is in recovery mode. So MetaMorph will not work.

Any non offical rom usually has a perm root in it. So yes flashing a custom rom (I'm on cm 6.1) can make the root stick
Plus all of the custom roms are better then stock lol

Ok let me this straight...so all I have to do is temp root > flash clockworlds recovery > flash a rom > then I would have perm root?

That's all u gotta do bro.

Correct me if im wrong but you need s off to flash clockwork recovery...so no you cant just get temp root and flash a rom.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

he has s-off, but seems to be losing root when rebooting so since he has s-off his steps are correct:
temp-root, clockwork, ROM

My bad.

Rumrunner

Hey guys I'm on a stock 4.2.2 Verizon htc one and every time I run rumrunner I get a fatal error saying download updated package. Iknow I have downloaded the right one and I have all the prerequisites required idk why it's not working. Also I don't have the unlocked version. Am I screwed for getting new roms and even rooting? As of right now I'm not rooted I'm completely stock. I'd love to be steered in the right direction thanks guys

Rum runner was saying "fatal : please download updated package" but I realized 1) I wasn't using HTC cord that came with phone 2) I didn't have antivirus turned off. I only had firewall turned off (apparently you need both) 3) I was running Soju.exe off of my desktop which was a no go so I extracted rum runner to a folder on my desktop and ran as administrator then I was all set. After I flashed twrp through adb then acquired root and etc etc

I will try the above when I get home tonight. Glad you were able to make it work. Now if you were to make a video showing how to do this to install CM11 on stock 4.4.2 that would make a lot of people really happy

It doesn't work on 4.4.2 from what I've heard I'm not 100% sure though
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using xda app-developers app

No it does not work on 4.4.2 nor does firewater. You will have to wait till august when the new exploit will be released for 4.4.2.

[SOLVED]wierd S OFF issue....

EDIT : SOLVED by changing the SU app to a different one
Help from everyone appreciated
I am trying to S Off my device, but I am getting an error. SEE SCREENSHOT.

But isn't it already in root mode?
adb shell should give you a prompt with a $ I think, root gives a #

I compared it with a screenshot on a discussion forum.

Maybe permissions? Did you accept superuser access on the device?
Else I don't know, at best I could only check once I get home to see what it's like for me on my terminal. Hopefully someone can help you before that though, I'll only be home in like 6 - 7 hours

have you rooted the device before this?
SU installed and working?
bootloader unlocked?
Seems like your not rooted.

Are you trying to use the temproot method? That only work for the Verizon M8 so you'll have to unlock via HTCDev to S-OFF (and then you can lock it again so HTC won't know)

No, it was perm-root... It was from some toolkit though.

Doesn't work either. You have to unlock the bootloader, flash the custom recovery and then root it. You can then go through the S-OFF guide

I can't, it all worked fine for me so I've not had to do it since. All I can say is follow the guide on the firewater site to the letter...
Taken from http://firewater-soff.com/instructions/
Ensure device is booted to android with usb debugging enabled.
USB 2.0 ports are preferred.
You should not be connected using any hubs which may cause connectivity issues

Download firewater HERE
Push, Prepare, and Execute firewater:

adb shell

Agree to the terms and conditions you are prompted with
