[18:22:17] <tur42keys> hi Lupus-SLE :)
[18:22:20] <tur42keys> how can we help?
[18:28:27] <Lupus-SLE> Oh, hey there tur42keys
[18:28:59] <Lupus-SLE> I'm reading up on bits and peices at the moment, but I'll give you the overview.
[18:29:32] <Lupus-SLE> I currently have a HTC Desire, branded courtesy of my network, Three UK.
[18:29:56] <Lupus-SLE> I'm attemping to root it, went through this guide here: http://rootmydroid.co.uk/guides/general/howto-root-your-htc-desire-wildfire-evo-incredible-with-unrevoked/
[18:29:58] <TurkehBot> Title: How To Root Your HTC Phone With UnrEVOked! | Root My Droid | Root My Droid (at rootmydroid.co.uk)
[18:30:04] <tur42keys> ok
[18:30:06] <Lupus-SLE> Yeah, that one.
[18:30:30] <Lupus-SLE> I'm not sure if the rooting has worked, it's thrown misc-related errors at me.
[18:30:45] <Lupus-SLE> Specifically that it can't find MISC:
[18:30:49] <tur42keys> ah, the dreaded misc error :)
[18:30:55] * Android001 groans
[18:31:06] <tur42keys> is that in recovery?
[18:31:11] <Lupus-SLE> Currently, yes
[18:31:20] <Lupus-SLE> ClockworkMod Recovery
[18:31:32] <tur42keys> ok
[18:31:37] <tur42keys> we can fix that one :)
[18:31:39] <Lupus-SLE> Is the Misc error common?
[18:31:48] <tur42keys> yeah, we see it quite a bit
[18:32:24] <Lupus-SLE> I looked at the attached forum post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8729697&postcount=8
[18:32:36] <Lupus-SLE> Which confused me a bit, since my phone hasn't complained about the CID.
[18:32:55] <tur42keys> yeah
[18:33:04] <tur42keys> that's not the fix for your error
[18:33:14] <tur42keys> what you need to do is this
[18:33:43] <tur42keys> 1) Download Amon Ra Recovery from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=839621
[18:34:03] <tur42keys> 2) Open unrEVOked again with your phone disconnected
[18:34:30] <tur42keys> 3) In unrevoked go to File > Custom Recovery and select the .img you just downloaded
[18:34:40] <tur42keys> 4) Connect your phone and let unrevoked run
[18:34:44] <tur42keys> 5) ????
[18:34:48] <tur42keys> 6) PROFIT
[18:35:05] <Lupus-SLE> XD
[18:35:07] <Lupus-SLE> Thanks :P
[18:35:42] <Lupus-SLE> This is just an img file isn't it?
[18:35:48] <tur42keys> yeah
[18:36:02] <Lupus-SLE> Right... on the off-chance it makes a difference, I'm doing this in Linux.
[18:36:12] <tur42keys> yay :)
[18:36:29] <tur42keys> nah it doesn't make a difference
[18:37:06] <Lupus-SLE> Alright...
[18:37:17] <Lupus-SLE> Should I do anything with my phone or just leave it in Recovery?
[18:37:30] <tur42keys> boot it in to normal android mode
[18:37:48] <Lupus-SLE> Rebooting.
[18:39:38] <Lupus-SLE> Here we go...
[18:41:13] <Lupus-SLE> Out of interest, does this sort of rooting/rom flashing have any effect on the network lock (if any) of a phone?
[18:42:02] <tur42keys> nope
[18:42:09] <tur42keys> well
[18:42:25] <tur42keys> it wont SIM unlock it, but you'll remove all the three branding
[18:42:39] <Lupus-SLE> Okey dokey
[18:42:52] <Lupus-SLE> I've made it to Android System Recovery
[18:46:32] <Lupus-SLE> Am I sorted at this point? Shall I continue to first ROM flash?
[18:46:57] <tur42keys> yep
[18:46:59] <Lupus-SLE> Have I now acheived root-ness?
[18:47:19] <tur42keys> yes you have
[18:47:27] <Android001> 1337 - ness ;)
[18:47:29] <tur42keys> :)
[18:47:35] <Android001> Welcome to the club Lupus-SLE D:
[18:47:37] <Android001> * :D
[18:48:02] <Lupus-SLE> It's like I've lost my virginity... except my phone hasn't left me straight away.
[18:48:31] <tur42keys> lol
[18:49:04] <Android001> lol
[18:49:28] <tur42keys> quote of the month :P
[18:49:55] <Lupus-SLE> I'll proceed to backup, then ROM-flashing.
[18:50:03] <Android001> Indeed
[18:50:25] * Android001 tweets
[18:50:50] <Lupus-SLE> A friend of mine with a rooted 'droid recommended Cyanogen... any other decent ROMs you chaps would recommend?
[18:51:18] <tur42keys> cyanogenmod7 is the best
[18:51:54] <Lupus-SLE> I like what HTC have done with the UI in certain places, my reason for rooting and re-romming was the additional crap they put on.
[18:52:08] <Lupus-SLE> Whoever came up with HTC Peep should be feeling very ashamed of themselves.
[18:52:20] <Android001> Indeed
[18:52:29] <tur42keys> yeah
[18:55:22] <Lupus-SLE> Oh fiddle sticks...
[18:55:48] <Lupus-SLE> I rebooted, installed Titanium Backup... it doesn't think the phone is rooted...
[18:55:54] <Lupus-SLE> Must've missed something out here...
[18:56:17] <Android001> Try hitting "got problems?"
[18:56:20] <Android001> Or whatever it says
[18:56:24] <Android001> To install busybox
[18:58:03] <tur42keys> yeah you have to do that
[18:58:34] <Lupus-SLE> "Force system BusyBox"?
[18:58:54] <tur42keys> what options are there?
[18:59:27] <Lupus-SLE> When I hit "Problems"
[18:59:37] <Lupus-SLE> I get wiki, preferences or update superuser.
[18:59:54] <Lupus-SLE> upgrade superuser*
[19:00:12] <tur42keys> force system busybox then
[19:00:25] <Lupus-SLE> Should I try the upgrade superuser?
[19:01:19] <tur42keys> nah, superuser is fine
[19:01:25] <tur42keys> it's busybox you need
[19:02:10] <Lupus-SLE> The wording of notifications suggests that it needs to be on the phone
[19:02:19] <Lupus-SLE> I doubtful that HTC included it in the firmware.
[19:02:23] <Android001> Busybox is needed.
[19:03:19] <Lupus-SLE> Am I looking for BusyBox on the android market?
[19:03:58] <Android001> I think there may be an installer somewhere
[19:04:19] <Android001> Although, does titanium backup not have an option to install it?
[19:04:33] <Lupus-SLE> Not that I can see
[19:04:46] <Lupus-SLE> I found an app "BusyBox" in the market which I'm downloading.
[19:04:53] <Android001> Odd, hitting the "Problems?" button always used to install it
[19:04:54] <Android001> Ok
[19:06:29] <Lupus-SLE> This app says my phone IS rooted
[19:06:59] <Lupus-SLE> Ok... new one.
[19:07:41] <Lupus-SLE> says my phone is either not NAND unlocked or it wasn't able to remount (assuming it means the SD card)
[19:08:06] <tur42keys> hmm
[19:08:10] <Lupus-SLE> Ok... my phone just restarted...
[19:08:19] <Lupus-SLE> Silly thing
[19:08:29] <tur42keys> you may have to skip the Titanium Backup step
[19:09:36] <Lupus-SLE> What are the consequences of that?
[19:09:46] <Lupus-SLE> I'll just have to re-install everything again won't I?
[19:10:05] <Lupus-SLE> But the apps are linked to my google account so the apps I've bought I won't need to pay for again?
[19:10:19] <tur42keys> no, you wont have to pay for them again
[19:10:46] <tur42keys> once you login to your google account after flashing a rom all your apps should just automatically download from the market

[19:12:06] <mikecoffee> Boooo
[19:12:16] <mikecoffee> What the use of this channel
[19:12:19] <mikecoffee> Boooo
[19:12:30] <tur42keys> lol
[19:12:46] <Lupus-SLE> Oh... after that surprise restart, titanium backup suddenly works.
[19:12:50] <tur42keys> I could send the magic turkeys over to gobble up the S-ON bootloader :P
[19:12:51] *** Android001 is now known as Android001|afk
[19:12:57] <tur42keys> great :)
[19:13:41] <mikecoffee> If I could get soff I could root
[19:15:31] <tur42keys> yeah
[19:24:17] *** mikecoffee has quit IRC
[19:25:06] <tur42keys> poor mikecoffee
[19:25:26] <Nuroudo> tur42keys, they wont
[19:25:48] <Nuroudo> My apps never automatically downloaded, I had to manaually download them all if I didn't restore from CWM or titanium
[19:26:02] <tur42keys> yeah
[19:26:06] <tur42keys> it's hit and miss
[19:26:15] <tur42keys> it's worked for me a few times before
[19:26:27] <Nuroudo> Im fine with it not working :P
[19:26:51] <Nuroudo> The only thing that has annoyed me so far is that CWM was botched on the LG2X
[19:30:15] *** Android001|afk is now known as Android001
[19:32:11] <Lupus-SLE> I'm awaiting the download of update-cm-7.0.3-Desire-signed.zip, then I'll bung it on my phone, wipe and ROM
[19:32:23] <Lupus-SLE> This has been a productive day :D
[19:34:44] <tur42keys> then you'll spend another couple of hours setting it up
[19:34:55] <tur42keys> cm7 has soooo many awesome options :)
[19:34:56] *** Android001 is now known as Android001|afk
[19:40:07] <Lupus-SLE> Fair enough
[19:40:20] <Lupus-SLE> So long as I can my contacts back on in time for swimming
[19:40:24] <Lupus-SLE> I'll be a happy chap.
[19:41:20] <Lupus-SLE> Out of interest, considering I'm trying to remove bloaty HTC software this may be an odd question
[19:41:26] <Lupus-SLE> But can I install HTC software?
[19:41:38] <tur42keys> no you can't
[19:41:44] <Lupus-SLE> Specifically the music apps and widgets are what I'm thinking of... awww
[19:41:51] <Lupus-SLE> Fair enough
[19:43:42] <Lupus-SLE> Is the ROM I want to be using just the entire ZIP file?
[19:43:49] <Lupus-SLE> I'm not sure I'm doing this right.
[19:44:21] <tur42keys> yeah just the zip file
[19:44:26] <tur42keys> and the gapps zip
[19:44:35] <Lupus-SLE> gapps zip?
[19:45:06] <tur42keys> there's a seperate app for market & gmail etc
[19:45:57] <tur42keys> http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip
[19:46:02] <TurkehBot> Title: goo-inside.me - gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip download (at goo-inside.me)
[19:49:17] <Lupus-SLE> I'm putting the zips on a seperate SD card...
[19:49:51] <Lupus-SLE> Mind you... whoever at HTC decided that taking the battery out to get at the SD card was a good idea is going to have a breif chat with me and a hammer.
[19:50:10] <tur42keys> lol
[19:54:51] <Lupus-SLE> *fingers crossed*
[19:56:15] <Nuroudo> Im debating between the HTC Senstation, Samsung Galaxy SII
[19:56:26] <Nuroudo> or waiting a little more and see what else there is coming out
[19:57:10] <tur42keys> Samsung Galaxy S II is amazing
[19:57:25] <Lupus-SLE> YAY! FUCK THREE!
[19:57:40] <Lupus-SLE> I've got a 'droid on a skateboard and a whizzey circle arrow.
[19:57:50] <tur42keys> yay :)
[19:57:56] <tur42keys> branding sucks
[19:57:59] <Lupus-SLE> It's not on fire... that's good.
[19:58:10] <Lupus-SLE> I've touched the android
[19:58:43] <Nuroudo> People are just saying the SGSII is plasticy
[19:58:49] <Nuroudo> But then again so is my LG :P
[20:02:46] <Lupus-SLE> Seems to be sorted
[20:02:52] <Lupus-SLE> Thanks for your help tur42keys
[20:03:04] <tur42keys> no problem :)
