2.2 (Froyo) is rooted! Talk about it here

[trooper54]

I did the clean root files and afterwards, I did the flash recovery using RA recovery... and the phone rebooted to a exclamation sign. What have I done wrong?

EDIT: I pulled the battery, and it booted back again. How can I confirm that I have the RA recovery?

You need to flash the recovery again, if you booted into recovery and got the exclamation point your recovery didn't flash correctly.

you may need to do it the hard way,

in shell

cd /data/local
cat /sdcard/flash_image > flash_image
chmod 755 flash_image
./flash_image recovery /sdcard/(recovery file name).img

There's no way to get the htc clock/weather on RC2 is there? Id rather not have to use beautiful widgets.

PS. What the hell happened to toast?!

Are you sure you have usb 2.0? Otherwise it will be slowwwwww

 

[bluediablito]

lol machine is not old
i7 6core
24gb
2tb hd.......
usb 3.0 (prob that is the prob let me try usb 2.0)
so yeah for some reason it takes long and its on debug mode and charging....
so i put all the files manually and everything was going ok
once i rebooted my phone to the hboot it checks the PC36IMG.zip and then it tells me this is an older version............ man time to redo everything again...... i guess the 3rd time is the charm lol........
when i enter the command to push the files is it so post to create a data folder b.c i don't have one on my sd card
