Root 2.2.2

[Mikael63]

Skulle behöva en nu fungerande guide över hur man rootar en HTC Desire 2.2.2

 

Har googlat och hittat en del guider som länkar till andra sidor och informationen i guiderna stämmer inte riktigt med informationen/filerna på de länkade sidorna.

 

Har också märkt att sådana saker som root fungerar bättre i Linuxmiljö, ex. fungerade denna guide bra i den bemärkelsen att programmet körs, telefonen startar om osv men får sedan ett felmeddelande och i det en undran om Firmware är för ny..

 

Edit: Har googlat ang. detta med Firmware för ny och det verkar som att det då inte går att roota.

Får skaffa en ny telefon i stället då..

Löst.. eller?

 

Jag sökte en annan tråd här och hittade CyanogenMod och gick vidare med det.

 

På http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/About står bl.a.

CyanogenMod (pronounced /saɪ.'æn.oʊ.dʒɛn.mɒd/) is an enhanced open source firmware distribution for smartphones and tablet computers based on the Android mobile operating system. It offers features and options not found in the official firmware distributed by vendors of these devices.

Features supported by CyanogenMod include native theming support, FLAC audio codec support, a large Access Point Name list, an OpenVPN client, an enhanced reboot menu, support for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and USB tethering, CPU overclocking and other performance enhancements, soft buttons and other "tablet tweaks", toggles in the notification pull-down (such as wi-fi, Bluetooth and GPS), app permissions management, as well as other interface enhancements. CyanogenMod does not contain spyware or bloatware. In many cases, CyanogenMod may increase performance and reliability compared with official firmware releases.

Det var ju detta med "app permissions management" jag ville åt och gick vidare till

Gaining S-OFF and installing a custom recovery on Desire (GSM)

 

Certain HTC devices can be exploited via a tool called Revolutionary to gain S-OFF. The status of your device's support can always be checked at their site. Please pay close attention to the HBOOT revision as newer updates break the tool's ability to work properly. The Revolutionary tool will also install ClockworkMod Recovery.

 

The supported version(s) of HBOOT for your device: 0.93.0001, 1.02.0001.

 

Windows Only: Download & install the HTC Sync drivers: Download

md5: f60771a86c4ad69c8c9c1d158e60e850

Disable fastboot on the Desire (GSM) (Settings » Power » Fastboot) or (Settings » Applications » Fastboot).

Make sure USB debugging is enabled on the Desire (GSM) (Settings » Applications » Development » USB debugging).

Connect the Desire (GSM) to the computer via USB.

Write down the HBOOT version of the device

To find out the HBOOT of the device, boot into the bootloader by powering off the device and power back on holding down Volume Down & the Power button or via adb reboot bootloader.

If your HBOOT version is NOT 0.93.0001, 1.02.0001 then do not run the tool and contact the Revolutionary team for support availability.

Write down the serial number of the device

The serial number can usually be found under the battery, on the box or via adb devices / fastboot devices

Download Revolutionary 0.4pre4: Download

Fill out the form on the Revolutionary site to get a beta key.

Once you have the beta key, launch the Revolutionary beta (you may need to launch it as root or administrator) and enter in the beta key minding that the key contains both upper- and lower-case letters.

Revolutionary will now attempt to temporary root the Desire (GSM), set S-OFF & install a custom recovery image. The device will reboot on its own and the entire process should only take a few minutes. If the process takes longer than 15 minutes, reboot the device and attempt again. Some users have had to attempt gaining S-OFF multiple times before achieving success.

NOTE: If any time during this process you are having excessive amounts of issues, please join the Revolutionary IRC channel for further help

 

Installing CyanogenMod from recovery

 

Note:

 

Some devices do not have removable SD cards. Regardless, there should still be a partition on the device named "/sdcard" that can be used for flashing purposes, even though the contents of /sdcard may actually be in internal storage.

Download the prebuilt release of CyanogenMod you wish to install. (Or if you've built CM yourself, look in the $OUT directory for the .zip.)

Optional: Download any supplemental 3rd-party applications packages for the device you wish to use.

Place the CyanogenMod rom .zip file on the root of the SD card using adb:

Transfer your file(s): adb push YOURROMZIP.zip /sdcard/

If you boot directly to recovery and have an internal sdcard, you may need to run adb shell mount /data or mount data through the recovery menu before transferring.

If you see "error: device not found" there is likely a driver issue on the PC.

On some devices, the zip file can be copied to the device using standard USB Mass Storage or MTP support.

Optional: Place any supplemental packages (e.g. Google Apps[1] or kernel) .zip file(s) on the root of the SD card.

Boot to recovery mode on the device by holding Vol Down & Power then select recovery. Use the optical key as select..

Once the device boots into the ClockworkMod Recovery, use the physical volume buttons to move up and down. On most devices, the power button is used to confirm your selection, although for some devices the power button is used as a "back" button to go up one level, in which case the home button is used to confirm the selection.

Optional/Recommended: Select backup and restore to create a backup of the current installation on the device.

Select the option to wipe data/factory reset.

Select install zip from sdcard.

Select choose zip from sdcard.

Select the CyanogenMod file you placed on the sdcard. You will then need to then confirm that you do wish to flash this file.

Optional: Install any additional packages you wish using the same method.

Once the installation has finished, return back to the main menu, and select the reboot system now option. The device should now boot into CyanogenMod.

Jag tog fasta på "Optional/Recommended: Select backup and restore to create a backup of the current installation on the device." och gjorde en backup. Jag hade tidigare gjort en backup m.h.a. My Phone Explorer där jag backat upp såväl kontakter som appar.

 

Följde alltså instruktionerna och allt stämde och gick bra.

 

Men allt för sent insåg jag att man inte längre kan använda Google Play. Tanken var att jag skulle ladda hem My Phone Explorer-appen och återställa innehållet men jag kunde inte ladda hem något via Google Play.

Att åter installera apparna gick dock bra via sd-kortet och filhantering men jag vill ju gärna ta del av (en del) uppdateringar av apparna och det insåg jag skulle bli problem.

 

En annan sak var att surfning gick oerhört segt och liksom ryckigt, som att sidorna laddades om och om igen.

Tre appar gick inte att (åter)installera och av dessa tre anser jag att två är mycket viktiga att ha.

Visserligen hade jag nu 75 % ledigt utrymme på internminnet mot tidigare 10 % men det kändes ändå fel..

 

Beslutade mig för att återställa backuppen vilket gick väldigt bra. Telefonen återställdes helt som den var innan. Dock med några undantag - 3-4 appar behövde ominstalleras men dess inställningar fanns kvar.

 

Sensmoralen får bli att om telefonen är så "kass" att minnet inte räcker till så är det bättre att skaffa en ny än att "jävlas" på detta sätt.
