If you come from different rom you better wipe data/cache, but if from same rom don't need, you only partition when you want apps2sd.

any problem so far? yeeeeko seeems to have one.
woah..so troublesome eh unrevoked? i was about to use that method cause im kinda lazy to use the real root method. 

seems like u can't do sd partitioning with unrevoked
Need to partition sd for a2sd+.

Darn.

i found a few guides on partitioning SD card manually,

http://androidandme.com/2009/08/news/how-t...ndroid-apps2sd/
http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-hero...rtition-sdcard/

i personally did not use the UnrEVOked technique.. i used the old way.. i saw some few peeps on the XDA thread saying that they r going back to the old root since unrevoked is not so convinient to flash roms..

have a read here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread...=709146&page=24

is it because of the new method only used sumkind of "trick" to root? we do not gain full superuser is it?

i havent roooted! 
plz enlighten me when i have choosen that path. 

Thanks for sharing again. You've been helpful. I will test it out for a few days before I actually root my Desire. Is there any guide for rooting? Maliqu3's new rooting guide would work, yes?

By the way, once we go with LeeDroid release, can we gain access to paid applications?

Rooting with Unrevoked seem to be the easiest way but i have heard about needing to install drivers if we root using Windows. Anyone have any step by step on how to do it on Windows with Unrevoked? Some say disable HTCSync but some say enable it. Its confusing and i have no idea what driver to install.

Hi there,

Mind sharing what are their differences? The clean official Froyo is by HTC themselves?

Would be great is others who have rooted speak up on what ROM do they have installed... pluginbaby, maqu3l, anyone?

How do I do this step: A2SD+ <<< YOU WILL NEED AN EXT3 PARTITION?
I want to use the old method as its recommended by you but my BUILD version is not listed in your Desire Rooting Guide. Hence, I went with the new method instead.
Ok, thanks for the information.

Ok, I followed everything here: http://smarty-money.blogspot.com/2010/07/g...-phone-new.html but I cannot verify if my phone has been rooted.

I guess you meant in ALL APPLICATIONS rather than in SETTING > APPLICATION? Sorry, a little confusing but I manage to install LeeDroid 1.6 on my Desire. I guess it's been rooted. Thanks to your guide.

1. How do I know if my Apps2SD is working?

2. I downloaded this off LeeDroid site at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=724123, but what is this 32.42.00.32U.5.09.00.08.zip file thingie?

3. I format my SD card with 512MB EXT and 0 Swap as advised in your guide. It asked for confirmation prior to the reboot and I click on OK. So, it rebooted and showed a android and a exclamation ! mark for a while. It's been 5 - 10 minutes and it has not change screen. Is this normal? Does formatting take so long? I'm using the stock micro SD card provided by Maxis, believe it's 2GB.

Thanks alot. Exactly what i needed cause i am gonna do it on Win7 64bit as well.
I did check out your blog and it was very helpful. However, its just that i am concern because some people say you need to uninstall HTCSync while some others say its required. Then some say switch it to USB debugging mode etc. So many versions out there for using Unrevoked and Unrevoked's site never even mention anything in regards to how to do it. LOL...

Btw, lets say if i root now. When the original Froyo is released, all i need to do is flash it to that version and all will be fine right? My phone automatically becomes unrooted?

And did you guys update your radio? Is it necessary, if i am using OpenDesire's official leaked Froyo?

I am not exactly worried about voiding my warranty as i did the same to my WinMo HTC last time and still got it to be warrantied. The thing i am concern is that even with Unrevoked, there is so many ways to follow. I agree maliqu3 guide is a very good job and i was hoping to follow that without any hassle. Its probably i have read too many guides out there for Unrevoked and most of them are not exactly the same which prompted me a little bit concern on the "actual" way to do it Probably i should just rely on my Virtual Machine Ubuntu to settle the job easily

Well, i love custom roms to be honest. I ran them all the time on my previous Diamond but that is considering the fact that the Diamond never had WinMo6.5 to begin with. With Desire bound to get official Froyo, i was hoping to be able to port back to the original ROM easily (if required) though unless the current Froyo are already way better than the official one. Guess i had to root then. Btw, one more thing, will rooting and flashing rom cause it to wipe my phone and SD memory?

Besides, is partitioning the SD card necessary? or its just for the non-native App2SD feature?

Not exactly experience for Android (my first time on Android phone as well) but did it multiple times for my previous WinMo Diamond. Thus, i am not too worried. Its just me trying to find the easiest way to do rooting, but even that comes with a number of different guide. Gonna mostly follow Maliqu3's or those that are already at XDA developers. Anyway, thank you so much for the tip there. You guys tempted me to the dark side

Btw, if i decide to go against non-native App2SD, do i still need to partition my SD?

And Pennywise, did you flash your Radio?

How come I cant find Google Earth on Market anymore?

Hello,

To tell you the truth, maliqu3 did a very good job. Fantastic even!

I root my HTC Desire yesterday on Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit. I did not even read any other guide, I just randomly and blindly follow what's written on maliqu3 blog. I did encounter some problems but managed to fix it through the night. Overall, it took me about 3 hours to get it done right. Nothing much to worry about.

It says uninstall HTC Sync but leave the HTC driver, it would work.

Waiting for Froyo official release is x time in the future as it is unknown. Some hopeful thoughts say it'd come during Christmas, while HTC SEA mailed and say there are no plans of upgrading at the moment. If you'd like to wait, so wait. Else, root and join us in the dark side.

I think it's a pretty fun experience and knowing that I've screwed my warranty (possibly, not 100%) is not a major concern for me. If it is for you, then I advise you dont root your Desire. Cheers mate!

Wow, you seem rather experience in these sort of things. To be honest, I decided to flash my Desire yesterday and it was the first time I read any guide (maliqu3's, yay!). I have never read any flashing / rooting guide before. I think you read too much.. Hehehe...

Anyway, in Maliqu3's guide, there is a link to unroot the phone back to its original state, Android 2.1. I believe we can achieve the same result with Froyo once the official release is out.

Please backup everything in your SD memory and synchronize your phone to HTC Sync and Outlook prior to rooting. I backup my data so I can restore most of it. My only problem now is that I cannot open the notes I previously saved in Color Note app. I probably need to engage the developer for advise.

I am not sure if LeeDroid Froyo is better than the official, I probably will flash it again to the other rom by OpenDesire Team, its highly voted on the xda forums.

Btw, yes partitioning is a must with LeeDroid. Use Rom Manager, its quite easy.

Added on July 27, 2010, 10:16 amNotice additional problems.

1. Battery charged overnight, only 93% - I think this is a bug but let me try another night to confirm.

2. Color Note data - Does it write to SD card cause I didnt backup anything else on my phone so my data's probably lost? Or if it does write to SD card, where is it? Anyone able to assist?

3. My previous Swype apk don't work - I need to find one that works.

4. Cannot setup Facebook on Friendstream but can use Facebook separately - Error message: WARNING: The service is currently unavailable. Do you want to try again? YES / NO. I've entered the FB workaround below but still doesnt work:

In your Facebook profile in your web browser click "Edit Profile".
Then "Education and Work". Under "Position" enter your city. Save.

Anyone who use LeeDroid, please help

How I wish pluginbaby or maliqu3 is here to answer my questions:

1. ColorNote users, where does the files saved to?

2. How to get Friend Stream to work with FB?

3. Where to get Swype APK that is compliant with LeeDroid mod? Can someone PM me for this?

4. Some app / games cannot install from market.

for those of u flashing LeeDroid, are you using Amon Ra or clockworkmod's Recovery?

Guys its a week now but still no call~~ i'm pretty sure i ordered it at MEP and i'm not cheated right?

Clockworkmod's recovery and maliqu3 guide = pwnage!!

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. The Swype 1.56 is a zip file which download from my Desire and open with Astro File Manager says "java.util.zip.ZipException: expected End Of Central Directory Signature" error.

Yea bro. Your guide is easy enough but like i say, there is just too many versions out there that says things slightly differently. Probably in the end the result is the same

Btw, it would be better if you could include flashing of ROM and Radio in it as well

For now, i am sticking with native App2SD. I was just thinking about rooting just to have a feel on what Froyo could offer and once the official one is released, i am most probably gonna shift to that one unless of course the custom ones became way more stable than what they are at the moment
Btw, anyone here using OpenDesire Froyo? Anyone have any problem on formatting SD card? It seems to hang everytime i tried to format my SD. and after that, my SD is corrupted.

Ah..Probably i didnt explore enough

Well, for some reason it just wont format my SD. I can format it via my PC but again, i was thinking if format via phone would be better. Oh well, if its still giving me trouble, i gotta shift to other ROM i guess. Or just unroot it back

Hi,

I wonder what the difference between the Titanium Backup and Nandroid Backup? I can see you're using Titanium backup first then under recovery you did a nandroid backup.

Is it necessary to run both backup? I'm still blur. Haha.

Thanks

Question, could you list down step by step on how to create the partition? As in what partition is needed and whats the space?

For Titanium Backup, i tried it just now and it never worked. I rooted with Unrevoked and started Titanium Backup, it did not detect that i am rooted, thus, not allowing me to backup.
I did nothing. I just basically wanted to format the SD card by going to Settings -> SD & Storage -> Unmount SD -> Format SD. Then, it brings me to a page that says "Erase Everything" and it is stuck there. When you click on anything else, it just says "Force Close" or "Wait". And if you force close, the card will be corrupted. Need to format using PC. I tried that multiple times though.

So, the partition is basically needed for? Whats the problem if we dont have the partition?

So, the partition is basically needed for? Whats the problem if we dont have the partition?
Ah, i didn't know that. Not sure whethear mine come with non-native A2sd or not though. I already formatted it. Probably i should reboot in recovery and format the SD again. Thanks.
