HTC Desire ROM

[jjenson]

Ok found my answer in teh sdk area of google. Thanks for the help everyone. This seems to not been so smooth cause of the Windows 7 64 bit install.

yeah, luckily I'm running 32bit so I didn't run into any of the problems setting up and Android SDK and running ADB.

 

[jjenson]

Yeah seems like 64 bit still is buggy with programs at times. But overall I love the added performance so its worth some of these hiccups. Anyways got everything working thanks all.

 

[jjenson]

I still keep getting errors with the SU request. Has anyone else had this issue. I was downloading rom manager to create a backup so its faster to go back and forth.

 

[jjenson]

Also wanted to know if anyone's status light just stays on?

 

[PJnc284]

Did you reboot it as soon as you logged in and let it sync? Apparently it'll do some wonky stuff if you don't.

 

[jjenson]

I rebooted after running the adb command but I will try to do that again. What do you mean by let it sync?

 

[PJnc284]

After the part where it asks for gmail and starts syncing email, calendar, etc

 

[jjenson]

Yeah that is all done.

 

[jjenson]

Not sure how to get superuser app working it just FC's anytime its called. Dang it.


**** If you get thsi problem go back and enable USB Debugging apparently if its disabled SU Permissions has issues.

You will need to flash a new boot.img to get su working its on the bottom of the page you get the Rom from along with directions/

after reading all of this i am going to have to pass this up haha. there seems to be a lot of confusion with installing this correctly with a lot of room for error. if in 2 weeks there isn't a upgraded build then maybe ill give it a shot. im confused just reading all of this haha.

It's to easy read the instructions posted were you downloaded it from and follow them to the t I've installed this with a full wipe un less than five minutes. You just have to know the basics

Bitfix it really wasn't that difficult last night I was reading I thought i read to upload the zip folder this is not the case.

Today my problem was with Windows 7 64bit this caused some issues with teh sdk tools that I had to get a workaround with to make it work. Once I got this everything fell into pieces.

It really isn't that tough.

 

[mclarryjr]

bitfix don't worry its not that hard and there is plenty of help here if you do need it.

Just Do It!!!

 

[Brett]

How does Windows 7 64 bit make harder? What kind of work around?

 

[mclarryjr]

On my first install I used terminal emulator from the market and didn't even use a computer.

That Larry is awesome.

 

[jjenson]

Basically how the drivers installed I found a couple sites that helped with the workaround. My machine wasn't picking up the drivers of the phone so I couldn't adb shell into it. The SU problem that you can just do from the phone works as long as you don't turn off USB debugging. I turned this back on then the Super User was working again.

I would just do it that way no need for the sdk then.

I love these features this is easy once I got everything installed I created a clockwork backup so now if I need the 3g for GPS and so forth in the car I can swap back really quick then load this back up. This makes it nice and easy and done in just a couple of minutes.
