Come vi avevamo anticipato ieri, Paul O’Brien della community MoDaCo era finalmente riuscito ad ottenere i diritti di root sul nuovo HTC Desire. Nella notte è stata finalmente rilasciata la guida.
Non avendo il terminale non abbiamo avuto modo di testarla. In attesa di tradurla la riportiamo in lingua madre:
Requisiti
In order to complete this guide, you need the following…
- a HTC Desire
- a Windows machine (sorry, I am trying to remove dependencies on specific OS’)
- a Linux (a liveCD should do) or OSX machine (sorry, I am trying to remove dependencies on specific OS’)
- a microUSB cable
- a microSD card (to be made into a ‘goldcard’)
- the downloads below
- balls of steel (actually, I just made that up)
Downloads
To be ready for the guide, download the following items…
- the ‘test ruu’ – DOWNLOAD / MIRROR – MD5: f1981b26b90b97aea395d2b30909a23f
- the ‘push files’ – DOWNLOAD / MIRROR– MD5: 9ee301b702078dd1842bd1c67e552f6e
- the ‘rooted update’ – DOWNLOAD / MIRROR – MD5: 44f2614452ddf777cab9115e2174a91a
Once you have those on your machine, you’re ready to start!
Guida
Follow through these steps, one by one and at the end of it you’ll have a rooted Desire with the latest ROM.
Note: This process will wipe your device and there is currently no option to backup your device ROM before you start.
- Make your microSD card into a goldcard by following these instructions (it’s a good idea to back up the contents of your card first!)
- Copy the ‘rooted update’ you downloaded above to the root of your SD card, before replacing it into your device.
- Turn off your HTC desire, then turn it back on with the ‘back’ button held down. You’ll see ‘FASTBOOT’ written on the screen in a red box.
- Connect the phone to your computer, then run the ‘test ruu’ that you downloaded above (it may take a short while to start). Let the update complete and turn your device off as soon as it reaches the configuration wizard. If you need USB drivers, you can find them as part of the HTC Sync install.
- Your device should now be off. Unplug the device from your computer. Turn it on again while holding down the ‘volume down’ button this time. The screen will look similar to before, but will say ‘HBOOT’ instead of ‘FASTBOOT’. Use the volume buttons and the power button to select the ‘RECOVERY’ option. You should then see a screen with a red triangle – at this point, plug it into your Linux or OSX computer.
- Now you need to unzip the ‘push files’ zip that you downloaded above. When you have done so, you’ll see a file called ‘recovery-linux.sh’ or ‘recovery-mac.sh’. Run the one appropriate to your operating system and the screen of your device should change to display the green recovery image menu.
- In the recovery image (moving around using the optical trackball), select ‘Wipe -> Wipe data /factory reset’ then ‘Flash zip from sdcard’ and choose the rooted update. Confirm with the trackball and the update process will begin. It’ll take a little while, so go make a nice cup of tea.
- When the flash has finished, reboot, and you are DONE!
