Hey there, im an tired to death of waiting for this 2.1 update for my phone, and so tried to install a custom ROM last night, I have searched and read so many tutorials on how to Root the phone etc, and install a custom ROM, but i seem to be stuck... im Running 1.5.. First off i am following this tutorial androidforums.com/all-things-root-hero/54802-how-root-install-custom-rom-backup-more.html which seemed to be the most upto date and relevant.
I think i have Rooted my phone using Instant Root
And what im stuck on is running FlashRec.apk It Just refuses to work (backup), so im stuck, i cant get passed this stage
I heave read something about GoldCard? or something, is this another method?
And i have come across more threads about using the SDK on windows somehow...

As far as i'm aware if flashrec doesn't work you need to downgrade, try my guide in my sig for details.
Thats what i thought :/ I don't get it, i haven't installed a single update, and im on 1.5, and i got the phone when it first came out in the UK, so it wouldn't have been updated, unless over the air updates are automatically downloaded and installed without my knowledge or approval?

As you have found out those phones that have network specific ROMS, namely from the carriers named above will find it difficult or impossible to Root using the methods those with non-branded Hero's have.
The only way to install a custom ROM and or root the phone is the following method. As I have had no experiance with this method I am not going to be able to write out any instrcutions of my own, nor am I going to copy and paste someone else's work and take credit for it. Therefore I am providing you with the following link.

I hadnt installed any updates either but i still had to downgrade, and your tutorial worked pefectly
All newish G2 Touches are loaded with a more recent update (although they're still all 1.5.)
This means if you have a new G2 Touch you'll need to downgrade.
I had the exact same issue as you with the backups failing, after searching the internet and using multiple tabs, i finally gained root access, to make life easier for others I created a guide, give it a try, let me know how you get on

Rooting & sim unlocking are totally unrelated. There's no free means to unlock, so you'll have to buy a code.

Ok so today i was about to sit down and root
after trying to use the flash recovery method it seems my Hero is patched
my Q is ....
am i still able to root this badboy using other methods and if so, can someone post a decent guide or good tutorial to do so
Many Thanks
no takers then? any help would be appreciated
i don't get your question, you have rooted your phone and now you want to know how?
anyway, there is more than enough information on this, you just gotta read it!
No, he is saying that the firmware he is using is patched so the normal way to root the phone doesn't work, in other words, the exploit used to get root access was patched. He wants to know if there are any other ways to root it.
I'm new to Android, but I do believe there is an older firmware version or something along the lines of that that allows you to open a terminal and root it from there.

thanks for re-explaining that for me, maybe i wasnt clear enough
but again i do thank you .... i guess ill just see how this thread goes
yeah it seems its patched and normal method will not work .... not too hot on ADB and thats why i was asking
cheers
the version of your rom could help
check modaco, there is a thread explaining some "gold card" stuff. i think that is the hardcore method if everything else fails. never looked at it though, got lucky with my hero and got an older rom
Yea I'm having this problem too...
I had a rooted Hero but then 'foolishly' installed the update to fix lag, and therefore losing my root.
I have even created a goldcard on my SD card and still the 'One Click Root' doesn't work...
Any other methods?

If you've got the goldcard, you need to downgrade your ROM before you can root.

If you installed T-Mobiles 2.73, you've just reinstalled a ROM that can't be exploited!

While I don't have a vodaphone version I'm wondering what guides you've followed. Have you followed this one here? Which step or file does it fail on?
It fails before stating XD with the vodafone (europe) version of the FRF91 is impossible to downgrade to ERD79 so we can't follow the tutorial because it need one of the prerelease of froyo.
Forgive my lack of knowledge on the Vodafone based N1 but did they ever have an ERD79 version for them? I'm wondering if there's some sort of check thats in the ERD79 based passimg.zip that's failing on maybe the radio, HBOOT or something else. I'm thinking the vodafone root without bootloader unlock process is going to be ten times different than the US based phones. But then again I'm still pretty new to the nexus but that would be my two cents. Maybe someone else will chime in and enlighten us all.
The original firmware of the european n1 should be the EPF21B but i'm not very sure (mine had the EPF30) maybe it's possible to mod a passimg that is recognize like a EPF21B or a EPF30 but install a ERD79.
I don't know if it's possible because i'm very ignorant about computing etc.
nah there never was a erd79 or any other pre froyo version.
we went directly from epf30 / epf21b to frf91.
i would also be very interested if someone could figure out how we could achieve root without unlocking!
i hope this is at all possible with our versions!
I'm in the same boat as you with regard to the version being older message. I think it's because the H boot is newer or something. Hope someone can help
Froyo FRF91 Vodafone HBOOT is: 0.33.0012 RADIO: 5.08.00.04
Maybe it will help someone...

LOL, what gave it away?
Seriously, I wonder what is the point of wasting time and effort trying to root it using those weird paper clips and battery cuts, when you can just as easily unlock your bootloader, and do it in half the time. Anyway, humour yourselves and have a blast figuring it out!
there is this thing called a warranty...
if the device breaks it would be nice to have htc repair it without hassle and not send it back to us because of an unlocked bootloader...
thats why sherlock!
yes, in few words, warranty is the "problem"... but if nobody can solve, unlock is the way.
I believe its the file that you are using I had the same problem, Try this
this worked for me.
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Passion (Nexus One)/
Download the first file PASSIMG_Passion_.zip
rename it to passimg.zip
It takes a second then follow the other thread on how to continue with the process I used paper after cutting up my battery lol a lil piece of paper was ez'est

Me too and didn't work... I suppose that "main version is older" means that the N1 european version first build is the 2.1 epf30 and so you cannot downgrade to previous builds because does not exist or are not supported.

Hi there,
I have yet to find a specific answer searching other threads, so I am posting here...
Is there a way to Root the updated Tmobile ICS update?
I thought about flashing another ROM like Cyano9, etc. but mostly I want to remove the crappy bloatware that is on the ICS update.
Obviouslly, I don't want to brick my device, but all I've seen on the forums are the Gingerbread versions of the root process...I've heard it won't cooperate with the same methods using it for ICS.
Thanks...
Same method to root for GB will work on ICS nothings changed.

Hi there,
Thanks for the help...I suspected as much, but I needed to check from those who tried and succeeded. I was looking at the site theunlockr.com for a one step root. Is this for real?
One more question - I've rooted my old phones before, but I always new where to get the original Tmobile file in case I wanted to revert back to the original ROM...does anyone know where I can find the ICS Tmobile ROM just in case I root and either it doesn't work or I decide to return to bloatware-central?
For some reason, I am more nervous to root this phone than my older ones...I'm afraid of a brick...
Thanks again!:good:

The only rooting method that's gonna work is the version via hasoons tool.
1. Unlock your bootloader
2. flash a custom recovery
3. Install SuperSu.zip
Once you're s-on, which you are, you're safe from bricks, since you can't change the files that would cause a brick.
The stock tmobile ruu is available in the dev section in the stock ruu/ota thread.

Hi,

Is there a way to root the ATT version and install CM10 on it???
Read only about the international version yet. Don't want to brick my new phone.
Thanks.
Nope, there's still a bit of a wait on CM10/ASOP for AT&T/TELUS users. When a usable version is ready, it'll probably be here with [AT&T/TELUS] in the title.

So, the experimital CM10.1 is running on your HTC One X+. I have the same phone and I have unlocked it from HTC's web site. I'm a noob and don't know a lot about this stuff. Still learning. Should I try any mod or wait? I really want to get the AT&T crud off of my phone. Like I said, my phone is unlocked now.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
There are several non experimental roms you can install already just to get rid of the at&t stuff. Also you could root it and use titanium backup or root uninstaller or something to just get rid of unneeded stuff. If it were me, I would not DARE try anything experimental with my new phone, especially something cm10 related because pretty much all the devs have said there is nothing ready yet on that avenue.

OK, I'm new here and I really thank you all for any advise. I will read on and try to find some of these existing ROM's. This is probably a REALLY big noob question. If my phone is unlocked, does that mean it is rooted?
BTW, I also thank you for the advise on not using any experimental roms. I won't touch unless I know for sure. This new phone is a gem and I don't want to screw it up.

Unlock is unlock and root is root
Indeed. You have unlocked the bootloader which is step 1. Now you need to root which is step 2. There is an all in one tool in the android development forum you can use to root. That might be the easiest way to go. Once you are rooted you can get root uninstaller for free from the play store or titanium backup. Titanium is probably better choice there. You could also flash a rom through recovery that is already rooted but most of those require you flash the kernel seperatly so if you are.very new i probably wouldnt do that just yet. Read up on the process first. Hope that helps.

Thanks! My problem is this..... I used the HTC step by step from http://onexroot.com/one-x-root/how-to-root-one-x/
I got through the step where the instructions say to Mark - Right Click Copy - Paste into the HTCDev.com website
I then followed the instructions on through until the phone was unlocked.
At step 39 the instructions say to -
Reboot your phone into Fastboot mode and type the following in command prompt:and
type and execute at the cmd prompt -
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.2.7-endeavoru.img
OK, I finished these steps and am now stuck at step 40.
I then copied the CWN-SuperSU-v.0.87.zip file to the root of my phone storage
The phone won't boot in to recovery at all
What is the CWN-SuperSU-v.0.87.zip file for and do I need to complete the step by rebooting using it in recovery mode? It will not boot in to recovery anyway.
So my phone was wiped and unlocked but back to the original AT&T build and I don't understand where I pick up in the process.
This is the point where I get confused. I research and read everywhere too. I know my phone is unlocked for sure. It's not bricked yet. :fingers-crossed:
I don't know where I pick back up with the process using some of the recommendations you guys have given me.

My atrix 4g came with 4.5.145 ATT, i downgraded it with cruizgaray tutuorial, going back with 4.5.141 with an sbf file.
after that, the bootloader failed to boot 1.
I fixed it with de gooapk 4.0.0.2, and bang, downgraded, bootloader unlocked. ATT 4.5.141
after that i tried to go back to 4.5.145 but the goapk didn't let me update the firmware. Not important.
I rooted it with fastboot. At first, i had problems rooting it, but i realize that some program, "Moborobo" was interfering with root process.
Ive seen this message: ADB server didnt ACK.
I killed the moborobo.exe with task manager, and rooted it with no problems.
Rooted and unlocked, i installed the clockwork mod recovery, made a backup, and installed Jelly Bean, with some CM10 file, that i found in linuxmobile.org/atrix.
Now, i have an atrix with jelly bean 4.2.
There is some bugs, but i think they will keep updating and fixing bugs. :good:
don't update your Atrix4

I think is a recovery mod. But not important. Once you have installed the CWM this goapk will be gone.
And no, there is no waranty once you do this. Do it at your own risk.
