[Q] Problem while downgrading Desire Z

lineaira · Mar 6, 2012

Try and install the ES File Explorer from the Market. Open it and by pressing menu>Settings
Scroll down to Root settings and select root explorer function, after that, allow root acces, asked by superuser and select Mount File System
Scroll up to Path Settings and select Up to Root
Go back to the File Explorer (which should be at /sdcard/) and press Up
Open up adb and redo the code like this:

Code:

adb shell
su -
cd /system/usr/
chmod -R 777 keylayout

(in this way you make sure the system folder is mounted read/write while you're executing the adb shell)

also the -r schould have been -R, my bad.. sorry
Then you can alter the necessary files with ES File Explorer, by opening them as text and add those lines and remove the #

You can save the file with menu>Save

If that worked, reboot your phone and your trackpad should be working again.
If it doesn't you can try to alter the other *.kl files.

I don't mind questions , besides, stupid questions don't exist, only stupid answers.

just follow it by heart and don't panic if you do not understand something. If you just copy paste the commands all should go well.
After that use the links I posted in my previous post for rooting..

ThankQ... already downgraded!

Follow for Desire Z (only from Froyo or Gingerbread, but as you said you're on Froyo already) this tutorial to install HBOOT and gain root:

hi i already try until this step.. but.. when enter into recovery / factory reset
it jump to ClockworkMod then.. when i click for any selection like full wipe or else...

my ClockworkMod look like freezing.. did i do any mistake here?

Your probably using the power button to select, don't
Use the trackpad or camera button.

So use the camera button. Don't ever use power button in recovery.

Or try to flash this recovery, it's clockworkmod with full touch support, powerbutton in this one is back button:
http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.0-vision.img

Put the img in your fastboot folder on your pc, rename it to recovery.img and turn off your phone.
Start your phone by holding volume down and power together, it starts in HBOOT.
Select FASTBOOT, using your volume keys and confirm with the power button. (and connect your phone to your computer by usb, obviously)
If fastboot has started you can open an cmd window on your pc.
cd the folder where your fastboot.exe and recovery.img are.
then type in the cmd:

Code:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

If this is done, select BOOTLOADER on your phone using the volume keys, confirm with power.
Then select RECOVERY and it loads the new ClockworkMod recovery.
You can now select things by just pressing them, power button is back to previous menu.

Yup that'll also work, so long as you have the eng hboot.

I have restarted the phone, but still doesn't work. However, pushing the trackpad works fine (also do it before modifying kls)

Any idea?
Thanks for all!

lineaira · Mar 7, 2012

Can you boot your phone while doing logcat and write it to a file, so you can post it here, I'd really like to know witch kls your rom loads.

Here's how:
Open a cmd window and cd your platform-tools folder on your pc (the folder adb is in)
Type the following in the cmd window and hit enter

Code:

adb logcat > logcat.txt

(If you want to actually see what's happening, open up a second cmd window, place them next to each other and cd the platform-tools in there as well. Then type the following and hit enter:

Code:

adb logcat

)

The cmd window(s) will tell you it's (or they are) -waiting for device-
Power on your phone and quickly connect the USB cable.
In the second cmd screen you can check if something is running.
Wait until your phone is fully booted and unplug the USB cable, by doing so, both cmd windows will stop doing something and come back with the folder you issued the commands at.

If you go to the platform-tools folder now, in explorer, then there should be a file there called logcat.txt
If you want to post it here, I can tell you which kl files are used in your rom during boot.

N.B.
I'm afraid that, if all these modifications don't work, you should try another rom. If it then still doesn't work... Then your trackpad might be broken, but I don't want to say that out loud, cause there might be more hope than disappointment. Btw, wich rom are you running??

I have done te log:

I think that lines are enought. qwerty.kl and vision-keypad-esn.kl are the files of interest. Isn't it? Must the h2w_headset.kl must be modified too? Appears to be the calling profile.

You are totally right, I'd modify that one too, but only if the rest of the key's are also defined in that kl file.
You could always try though.

If it isn't working, the only option I see is flashing another rom and check if it works there. (If you use ClockworkMod Recovery you can easily backup your current rom and put it back, later on)
I wonder what isn't working in this one... but as I said, if it doesn't work in other roms.. then I'm afraid it's just broken... although you can always try to unroot and such, but still.

(Just finished writing my tutorial on how to do it in my previous post, posted it, oh, new post, ahh, that was time wasted... oh well)

ammm84 · Mar 8, 2012

Cyanogen 7 installed, and trackpad working fine. It works in recovery too. May be the other rom is corrupt.

Thanks for your help!!

Hey all

I receive the below error during downgrading, i'm using a HTV Desire Z gingerbread 2.3.3

i got the pastebin link but i can't past it as am a new user.

pastebin .com / diNTmTGP <<<< remove the spaces

Nipqer · Jul 27, 2012

Firstly, chmod is telling you you used it wrong. Notice how it prints out the correct syntax? you forgot a space between the 777 and the /data/local/tmp.
Next, the not found error could be a caused by a whole heap of things, though I'm guessing you didn't push it properly

-Nipqer

semytomazi · Jul 27, 2012

Nipqer

Thanks for the reply.

Firstly when i type >adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp line it says there is no such file, after i remove the space between fre3vo and data it goes as the link below
pastebin .com /xZZEtTDK

and when i remove the space between the 777 and data it goes like this
pastebin .com /GdX3TKAg

PS: when i unistalled the HTC sync, it said that adb application couldn't be unistalled.

Nipqer · Jul 28, 2012

Adb can't find fre3vo because you have cmd pointed to C:\Users\lzzzpy, and fre3vo is not in there. Either move fre3vo (and the other rooting files) or change the current working directory in cmd
