Here is how it stands if you have updated to the OTA froyo & you have now decided to try rooting FAKE FLASH : FAIL recovery doesnt like the signatures OLDER PB99IMG.ZIP : FAIL main version is older so wont flash CHANGE MTD : FAIL?? pushed flash_image to /data/local although cant flash mtd0.img because we dont have access to /dev/mtd/mtd1 PUSH FILES VIA RECOVERY : FAIL devices appears offline to adb UNREVOKED : FAIL PAULS R6 METHOD : FAIL fastboot cant find the device GOLDCARD RUU METHOD : FAIL Error 140 This is what a dev over at xda found out not sure why he done it though.
didn't he do the OTA update to try and get a root? the bootloader has changed if i read correctly so none of the rooting methods work
Not sure what he was playing at, he is the dev of open desire. Only thing i can think of was perhaps he did it as an experiment to see if it could be cracked.
Was thinking about rooting aswell Do you think that this will be permanent....or just a matter of time until they crack the security (or whatever it is). Thanks
Well if it is possible to crack the devs over at xda are the ones to do it, they got more reason to now as well because its one of the devs that are stuck
think there's more than just one that did it, been reading a few of them have done it i know the person AdamG that made the 2.2 sense rom has done the OTA update, its the thread that i was reading.
Well we all got our fingers crossed that a hack can be found quick for him, there are quite a few others on here never heeded the warnings that now want to root too.
yea i know, i heeded your warning on the OTA update and have decided against it, going to root instead. want to try out the neophyte 1.4a rom, if i don't like, i can always just flash the official 2.2 froyo rooted rom.
I am just going to switch to next sense, it is also developed by neophyte not sure if its an alternative or a replacement
Looks like it could be then, more so as its from the same dev. Perhaps he has used another name to signify its based on the official release froyo.
maybe, really eager to root my phone now i just need to tell myself to stop acting like a little girl and take the plunge and do it.. i can't go back to my old samsung if things go wrong.. i can't lol.... so many roms to try, so little time...
When you do take the plunge just take your time, treat it like you are installing a new os on your pc
will do.. im generally good with tech and getting it to work, but this is a whole new step to me.. excited and scared at the same time lol...
I think we all get like that when doing this, but there is a real buzz hen it all fires up with a new rom.
Yep seen that, upgraded mine to next sense 3.2. Got more internal ram left with my usual 24 apps installed than with any other rom installed, 135mb. Its now as fast as neophyte in quadrant too.
oh, that can only be a good thing i do miss the idea of not having the circle mod battery though lol. looks so good.. have you found any vanilla roms kicking about on xda? only seem to find the 2.2 sense based ones..
That battery mod does look good i admit, you can get it as a seperate install for some roms. Open desire is a vanilla rom. [ROM-FROYO AOSP] OpenDesire v3.0.3 (04/08) - xda-developers
that sounds very reasonable! might give that a look in might root to a vanilla android rom, then buy beautiful widgets off the market or something.. bit of original customization also, check out the new vanilla rom on xda, psychosis 1.0 i think its called. looks good.
Psychosis 1.0 is a sense based rom m8, although they appear to have used pictures depicting a vanilla version the final give away is with the quadrant score its only 1382. With open desire a true vanilla rom quadrant reaches 1551.
well thats not right was looking good aswell.. think its going to have to be opendesire then lol.. what rom are you running atm?
