hmm, I tried to log into the wiki and it won't let me.

I get the 'thanks for logging in, redirecting' then it takes me back to the login page.

using chrome on windows 7. Forum sign in works fine.

Hang on, let me try firefox....

ok, so I followed method 2 of the rooting wiki, but now my phone is hanging at the 'htc magic' boot stage.... what did I do wrong, and how can I fix it? Was on the myhero008 rom. No immediate access to an sd>microsd adapter either... is push possible? argh.

Gazzz · Aug 4, 2009

method 3 refers to the hanging problem i'm having, i've read the linked page but see no reference to any fix... fastboot devices shows my device, but adb devices does not.... any ideas?

Radix999 · Aug 4, 2009

Hi Gazz,

As you have fastboot, use fastboot to boot to a recovery rom (Amon_RA's 1.2 is a good one) then from there you can use adb to push files to your sdcard.

You can still install the sdk, use adb and everything else.

You just can't fastboot any alternate recovery roms, and you cant apply anything but official updates.

Things I like to see in the Wiki..
- Directory structures <- Why and what?
- Files guide <- What files for what.
- What can be changed
- Where is these and that..

Just what I like to see. (After playing around with the files)

I'd love to see those things in the wiki too, but don't really know enough about it all myself, tho I read a couple of articles yesterday about the partitions and directories that I thought interesting:

Anyone want to take what's mentioned in here and write up a section in the wiki?

Othila · Aug 23, 2009

Hi folks! I have a Sappire italian (TIM) with Jacherosky ROM and i would like to restore a backup. My problem is that device is non recognized as ADB devices when installing drivers so fastboot is impossible: how can i do?? Thank U! Marco

First of all THANK YOU for the wiki. Could you please point me in the direction of these articles? I would like to use dusty51's quick meathod but it requires a keyboard. I'm installing ABD per your instruction right now but im not quite comfortable using it yet.
Also this may be a really dumb question but I have to ask it. When you jail break and unlock an I-phone you gain access to Cydia and Icy. Is there another market for rooted androids and if so where can I get it?

Radix999 · Aug 26, 2009

Err.. the articles I listed weren't clickable for you? they had links going to their respective sources.

If you're after instructions on partitioning for apps2sd and the like - you may find this useful.

http://androidandme.com/2009/08/news/how-to-manually-partition-your-sd-card-for-android-apps2sd/

(I should add that personally I find Apps2SD pointless myself for MyTouch handsets - we've got far more app memory than the dream handsets do out of the box and there's no real need for Apps2SD for us - furthermore, the disadvantages of Apps2SD is that you CANNOT remove your SD card at all when the system is running - doing so will cause lockups and system hangs because all your apps are running off it).

As for rooted apps - there's no need for cydia, et al - the Android Market isn't ruled with an iron fist like Apple's iTunes is - so they're all there.
Just do a search for 'root' and you'll probably find half of them

Out-F***king-standing!!! That Wiki and another thread (to deal with my "Perfect SPL") got me through all this quite nicely.
