[Q] [Help]My Desire Hd Can't root by visionary+

I bought a Desire HD from H.K. The rom is RUU_Ace_HTC_Asia_WWE_1.32.707.6.
I tried to cook the rom become Taiwanese rom step by step.
Using visionary to temproot ===>prmeroot===> s-off
Everything is fine.
However,I cook the wrong rom RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.72.405.3.
I think it becomes UK rom.
Now, I want to do the same step to cook my DHD to be Taiwanese rom again but it doesn't work.
When I use Visionary to do temproot, it takes too long time.
The screen comes black and hard to use.
I did't Visionary several times, however it still doesn't work.
Can any one help me. please.

So I guess your phone is 1.72 firmware now?
Bad luck you can't root it.

Yes, I am 1.72 now.
so, Does it mean there are no way to root now?

There are no way to root now. U must wait for the solution.

It bewilders me how people manage to read the threads on how to root their phones, but never manage with the threads that tell them not to flash the 1.72 ROM's. I fail to understand how they miss the various threads.

I can imagine what a disaster it is to overlook this.
So if they officially release the android 2.2.1 update for my region and I update to it, it will also update the software to the 1.72 ROM.
Does this mean I will not be able to root (and therefore flash) to other ROM until someone here figures out a way to break it?

When it comes do not install it. Better to use a custom rom which is based off of it. Such as the one in my sig. Then you get the best of both worlds - rooted Android 2.2.1.

Yep, I thank I didn't do much homework so I got my bad luck.
I just wonder if someone can help me to fix this trouble.
Maybe this is a chance to help me improve my English.
haha..

got it! but is it worth upgrading to the 2.2.1 update? Any performance gains? I'm not sure about what rom should I be on for fastest speed, stability with the sense ui?

Difficult to say....it should have some better performance and the camera should work a bit better.
however, in my case, when recording in HD I still have some lags sometimes (although they seem to be less in both length and frequency).
As far as normal performance, I was running a OC kernel which I cannot use now anymore, so performance will not be noticeably better (might even be a bit less).
as Dr.m0x said: get a custom rom with 1.72 integrated...works fine and you keep root

Any news? Or nothing yet ? So no rooted phone for those who updated 2.2.1...

I have had rooted phone with stock ROM and when appeared some update of OS, I installed it and then I found out, that rooting no longer works I must now only wait.
Has any from cooked ROMs better camera software? The stock camera app is OK, but I am missing possibility to set JPEG compression, which is in my oppinion too high and destroyes fine details in each picture.

It has been possible to downgrade your firmware and then gain root for a week now. There is a sticky topic in the development section.

And is there any way to backup my unrooted phone?

As far as I know there is not a way to do a full backup when the phone is unrooted. I fell for 1.72. Luckily I already did a titanium backup not long prior. The instructions given on the developers area of the forum are good though. The process does work.

[q] root help

Hi all genius guys,
I got htc dhd running android 2.3. It's not rooted yet. I like to root my phone if it's safe so, I love to test the new sense 3.0. I was wondering how should I root my phone that running android 2.3. Is the new sense 3.0 stable on htc dhd. Can I back up my current ROM and can I recover it back to it's original state incase any problem occurs.
Hope It's making sense. since I don't know much about android.
Many Thanks

Hey, welcome
Have a look here

Second post has a lot of links and info you would need
quick question do you know if you're dhd is vers 2.3.7? If so no root as yet...
Otherwise follow info above , you're apps etc stay with google, so make sure you sync.
You can back up sms , browse the market for that one.
Returning to stock is not too hard, you can find stock ruu's within xda to bring you back to ground...
Most of all read up well , spend some time and then attempt rooting you're phone so as to have a little understanding.
Sense 3.0 is great, you have lots of choices , try 'unity' , very promising, and good support there , personally looking into ' beatmod flyersense' a port of the flyer rom.
Anyway that should get you started.

That's ok , I found it difficult to begin with and it helps if someone can guide you along , if I come across a 2.37 exploit, I'll post it here so you can see , will save you searching all over for it.

[Q] Noob Help....

Hi.
I recently got my Desire HD (changed from Sony Ericsson X10) and am using it legitimately at the moment.
I just have a few questions about rooting that i wasn't able to find elsewhere etc.
1. If i root my phone, and HTC release the ICS update, am i still able to do this?
2. What is the easiest/safest way to root my phone? (2.3.5, Sense 3.0)
3. Is it worth me rooting my phone? (i rooted my SE X10 but that was to over clock it and make it faster but i'm more than happy with the speed of my DHD).
Thank you.

1. If you keep the stock ROM, you are able to upgrade (I think).
2. Search for guides. There are many out there. SuperOneClick may be the easiest one.
3. Yes, you can do so much more than just overclock!

You can always root and flash a custom rom. Problem is when ICS rolls out from your carrier and you revert to stock ROM your phone could potentially revert to be locked to your carrier.

I purchased my DHD in Feb 2011, and kept it stock for a few weeks because I was new to Android and Smart Phones. After getting used to it I Rooted and S-Off which is really simple with the DHD and tried a few roms.
I was forever running Quadrant to see if my score would improve but there was no real point the speed was really very good with only occasionally noticeable lag on when lots of pages were open.
I was on CM7 for the last 6 months or so and found that it recently felt a little laggy and sticky and I have only yesterday made the jump to Ice Cream Sandwhich for the DHD. If you are looking to root be sure to give this rom a try it's really something else forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1460820# it's breathed new life into my DHD.
You will find you get a bit better battery life out of a non stock setup too.

1. No.

3. Yes.

Stay rooted and never use stock roms, custom roms like arhd would have ICS official well before it is released ota to you.

Upgrading Xperia X10 to ice cream sandwich?

Hi all
It has bee a while since my last post. But I hope you can help me to know in this new one.
I have an Xperia X10 with android 2.3 but lately it is very slow in almost everithing, e.i: at the moment to write some text, to make a call, etc. and I was thinking to re-flash it to Andorid 2.3 again to make it faster.
However, I saw that a new Android was released. The Andoid 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich). So, I was wondering if is there already a version to this Android for the Xperia X10?
If so, could you give me a url where I can download it?
I've flashed my Xperia X10 the last time, however I'm not sure if for the new Android the steps to follow are different.
Any clue, you can write would be helpful.
Thanks in advance

Hi there. Think this may be what you are looking for. It's still in development. Tried it on my Xperia Pro however, there are still issues with WI-FI here on the CM9 ROM. Went back to CM7 until this is sorted out. You will find CM7 and CM9 ROM's here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445819
Note: if CM9 doesn't work out then, you could always reflash the boot. You will have to do that anyway before putting any of these ROM'S on. You are best to flash the boot.img each time you change out from CM7 to CM9 etc. Once you have flashed the boot.img then, it's the usual routine. Boot into Clockwork Mod and take it from there. Freel free to give me a shout if you need anything else.

From what I know, Android 4 isn't fully supported on the Xperia X10, it will run but many features won't work (for example, the camera).
I'd suggest you to do some research (Google is your friend... oh and XDA) before upgrading. It might make your phone even slower.

Go to the X10 Android dev page http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=617
Youll find all roms there but any ICS (miui or cm9) the camera and hotspot is not working. I have had personal use with DiXperia 7 'Avenger', ***FeraLab*** and M&M`S MiUI ROMs and they are all great. My favorite is M&M`S MiUI and it is what Im using right now but they are all fast

[Q] Wifi don`t start after installing CM9.1 on ARC LT15a

Hi All,
First of all, congratulations for the forum and great project on adroid!!! I'm new on this, and hope learn something here and who knows help in some development.
I will inform a lot of things on this post since i don't know what can be relevant....
I unlocked my phone, and installed ICS Beta from Sony, and used for a while, but, I really want to use CM 9 or 10... so i've downloaded, the stable packages of CM9.1, and CWM5 and installed on the phone as described in many places here and on the CM Wiki, and all functions work ok besides my wifi, it simply doesn't start(Don't star on CM 9 /9.1/ 10)...
Ive also installed baseband mods hoping this can help, but nothing happens....
The same thing happend with ICS Beta From Sony but the Dommlord package to enable WIFI and Bluetooth helped on that version...
So my need is to enable my wifi connection that is dead on the CM 9.1, the phone shows enabling wifi message for a long time and never starts the wifi hardwares... any tips to help me ???
I'm Using a Xperia Arc Lt15a with CMW 5+ and CM 9.1 (FXP139 for now but this happens with any version of CM 9.XXX)...
I Know that SE made diffrent hardwares to some places of the world, so i'm from Brasil, if this helps...
Thanks in advance!!
Leonardo.

No One can help??

Theres a wifi patch addon. Install that. Look at the rom thread
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium

Install suitable baseband and libs if available.
Look at the ROM thread for supporting baseband.
Look at the thread for basebands and libs -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688049

Not sure why anyone would choose to flash the Beta at this stage. Flash the latest stock ROM first then CM and report back.

Thanks
Hi, Guys,
Thanks for all replys... i'll try the basebands, but need to read more about it, i don't know wich version is the correct for my device or location, ...
I want to install CM 9 because its faster then the original from Sony, i'm using, the firmware from sony but it's realy slow.. and constantly freezes...
Thanks,
Leo.
