if possible in french language. thank's a lot
Hi
Firstly let me say welcome to the forum, however there are a lot of new ROM's out there in french.
I am afraid there is a lot of reading to do, firstly I would have a look at this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299462....an excellent guide on how to flash etc.

Hello and thks,
i try to upload the ROM version and i have this picture should i continue or my version is higher then the downloaded version?
That is for installing Hard spl, it's not a rom, it's the boot loader. And it is better than stock, and helps in recovery, if something bad were to happen when you flash.
I suggest that you read quite a bit more before you just go randomly flashing, or looking for the highest build number. Newest isn't always best, and there are tons of custom built roms around here.
Check the wiki, there is tons of information there, and here in the forums already.
yes do readup. you dont want to go ahead flashing recklessly or youll end up with a bricked phone.... which is quite a useless thing to have.
Hi guys,
I just got my Desire and I am interested in rooting it. I would appreciate if someone briefly can tell me what the advantages/disadvantages of rooting.
Also, where do I start with the rooting process?
Thanks so much in advance

@Dodolom - welcome
Best place to start reading about the rooting process is in the sticky at the top of this thread. Lots of information by many smart guys, so take your time and read through the lot before doing anything.
Why root? Well by rooting you can install custom ROMs which contain new software or customisations and programs outside of the stuff that HTC chooses to provide in their stock ROMs.
Good luck.
And just a word of advice - have a good read of all the stuff in the forum before asking questions. Will most certainly reduce the risk of you getting flamed
thanks mate.
Also, just run the phone as it is - you may find it does what you want it to do out the box - rooting is only neccessary if something you wish to do isn't available without rooting...

At the moment, I wouldn't say it's very advantageous to root your desire. I rooted my G1 back in the day (only a year or so ago I know ) - but with the Desire, the rooting process still leaves part of the OS locked down, which means you still don't get full control over it.
The only advantage I could see at the moment for rooting the desire would be to get Apps 2 SD. However this is rumoured to be a new feature in Android 2.2 (Froyo) which is due for release within the next month or 2 for Desires. So rather than void your warranty and risk bricking your phone. It might be better to wait for 2.2 and see what you get with that!
i have no idea why everyne doesnt root the desire when they get it... goto modaco.com goto the desire section and follow the r6 riskfree root process and now ou will have a world class phone that you can install app2sd , app2sd+ or app2sd++ nt to mention all the custom roms... good luck
What's the difference between app2sd, app2sd+ and app2sd++ ???

Hello guys! I just got my defy and it's really cool. I was reading the wiki to start customizing and rooting the phone but I am afraid to start because of luck of informations. I tried to search but everything became more complicated. lol. Though I am not new to this because I came from Galaxy Spica.
First of all, my device has blur_version.2.51.1.mb525.retail.en.it firmware. If anything goes wrong can I apply other roms found on the wiki?
Second, is there a different method of rooting my device which is an IT I suppose?
Thanks for giving your inputs in this thread. Many people who are about to mod their phone for the first time will make use of this thread.
Try the FAQ and info in Dev forum...
Hi everybody,,
I am new here and I really need some answers before I root my phone.
I have xperi arc and I live in university campus,so I need to use proxy to open the internet.
what are the consequences of the rooting?
do I loose my warranty? do I loose the official update from SE? ( I have xperia arc), if yes then is there any way to update when rooted?
What I get more if I unlocked the bootloader?
if I unroot my phone , will it be exactly the same as before?
same questuon for the bootloader.
sorry if that was too long
Did you bother searching? Or perhaps you just missed the sticky?
Anyway, please refer to [Guide] All in one 'Namaste guide' to Bootloader unlocking, Rooting, Flashing & more. This should clear most of your doubts.
While you're at it, just watch this video.
Well yes i searched ,, but i didn't expect to find a general subject in xperia forums
i googled it but nothing could answer mu questions exactly
maybe because of my English
or maybe i don't know what should I write in the search box!
anyway,,, my thanks to you and yes iam noob
Glad I could help but do use the search more often.
Cheers!
hey every1. im sorry if im not posting this in the right section but i couldnt see a better way.
so i want to install this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2342997

P.S. maybe this will help avoid new threads for help installing this rom.
Yes, it'll help, considering you are the only one that ask fit that...
Anyway, what's wrong with instructions in the OP?

People are just too lazy to look around. Everything is here but it's too much of a hassle to put one sentence in the search bar. And you really think that General section is better than Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting for this thread?
well if im the only one then why i see you whining like a little girl in every thread? if u dont have nothing to answer to my question please SHUT UP
now it will just stay as a spam thread for no reason and yes im lazy because instructions are not clear. do i go directly yo me7 or mb2/4 first. so yeah thanks for the help
Your thread was spam, and in wrong section from the beginning. Read forum rules, read some basic topics and don't tell me to shut up.
P.S. Please consider investing in glasses if you don't see better place to ASK QUESTION
well... i wouldnt but u just keep writing the same in your answer. we learn from mistakes dont we? stop spaming me what i already know....
DELETE THIS THREAD.

to install CM, you need to go to JB first because it needs CWM 6.
for the JB version, choose your ace 2‘s region (i have Indonesian Ace 2, so I use Indonesian JB ROM). you can use others region but avoid chinese region because it has different signal and also check if your ace 2 is P or L type because it has different ROMs
do you need to go to mb2/mb4? don‘t know yet because I didn‘t test all JB roms. For my region‘s rom, I can directly go to JB from GB
for the instruction how to upgrade and where are the roms.. please search...
