HTC Desire ROM

[jjenson]

So do you have the download link to the files I should be using? I basically downloaded the code and unziped it and then grabbed the files and just zipped those so there are no folders within the zipped folder and I still got the error 25.

you want to have the files unzipped on the sdcard. On your sdcard, you should have nandroid/zeusdroid/*rom files*. If you automatically extract the zip, it seems to create a folder and then place the rom files inside a subfolder which isn't what you want so you have to move them up a level, delete the subfolder and stick that under the nandroid folder on your sdcard

Don't unzip the ROM.

Download it, and place the folder on your desktop.

Mount your phone, and open the Nandroid folder on your SD Card.

Double click (open) on the zipped Zeusdroid folder on your desktop. You should see another folder.

Take that folder and drag it to the nandroid folder on your SD card. There should be no extracting of files, just a transfer.

Unmount.


Edit: beaten to it

Your method is easier though. haha

Ok got it thought it had to be in a zipped folder was late and didn't read that well.

Is anyone else getting random restarts and lock ups? Mine seems to restart about once and only does this when its not being used (just sitting there). And it will freeze up like when I exit the browser for a few seconds.

Looks like a kernel issue try a higher voltage start with .45 and if that doesn't work do the other.

still no 3g calling/data? Is there any kind of timeline on when this may be ironed out?

 

[jjenson]

I got this running I have a question I cannot get adb to work from teh computer so I downloaded terminal emulator once the rom was running and tried to run this command:

11. Type in "/system/xbin/mk16sdpart.sh" (This is for 16GB sdcard only)

I got a permissions error. Anyone know what I did wrong here?

Also where are these other kernals? This will let me overclock it correct?

 

[thebizz]

No timeline I wish their were but Everytime they've given one people go crazy at or around that time so now its mainly sitting around waiting

 

[stefanl]

Okay. Are we expecting 3g to work at some point, as well as the few graphical errors?? If so, i can't wait

 

[mclarryjr]

I have tried them both and they seem to have the same performance issues for me

 

[thebizz]

Yes at some point their going to get it to work they are also working on the graphic glitches who knows if or when that will be fixed

 

[thebizz]

Then start looking at third party apps could be anything

I feel dumb I jsut can't get the droid to mount through the sdk. I have a long way to go to learn linux that is for sure.

Anyone got a link to a good how to on the SDK adb shell using windows 7? I have been looking and can't find anything that works.

 

[PJnc284]

did you try typing 'su' at the command prompt and then entering the partition command?

On a side note, just had a little hands-on time with the Incredible. Side-by-side, my Droid running SenseUI held it's own and I could barely tell a difference performance-wise when moving screens and opening apps. The camera on the Incredible is definitely a major improvement over the Droid and even though the phone is light, it still feels pretty good in the hand.

in Terminal Emulator I type su and it puts a request then I get a FC from the SU request. This is getting very frustrating. This should be much more simple. I am really not dumb with technology I own a web development company and do coding and hacking all the time.

This is just escaping me at the moment.

Same with me. Both work about the same, except the 42 is a little slower.

The huge problem I had was I didn't realize I had to load the Drivers after I downloaded them.
Steps:
1) download the new drivers, put them in your Android folder
2) Go to devices & printers/device manager (Can't remember, i'm typing on my applebook right now)
3) If the device is recognized, it will show "Morotorola A###" (#=some number or letter), with an exclamation point.
4) That means it doesn't have drivers. You are going to want to go into properties for that device (right click), and SOMEWHERE in that menu (I forget the process, but I think I Had to click through a few things) there is an "install driver" or something button (maybe find device driver? idk for sure).
5) Click on that, and manually browse to that "C:\Android\usb drivers" folder, and tell it to search there.
6) it should find the driver there and install it.

That's the trouble I had running ADB shell on my phone. Hope this helps!

I never got "su" working, and spent two evenings on it.
