The tutorials over at the unlockr are pretty descent. I've had many conversations with David and he is pretty adamant about making sure his videos are accurate. I would start again from the beginning. I tested his tutorials when I unrooted my phone and went back to stock, then rerooted, installed a custom radio, ROM, and theme, then followed his Hero tutorial. The information is sound and worked well for me. This leads me to believe that you aren't following the steps exactly.
And no...... wiping your phone does not take away root access. What ROM are you currently running? Have you installed Cyanogen's recovery image? Have you upgraded your radio and SPL?
No I am trying to get it now but the terminal emulator wont work for me all i get is permission denied
no wiping does not take away root access...
just make sure you have followed instructions to the bone, i personally like this tutorial.

I'm not understanding what you are trying to "get" in terminal emulator. Are you still on the RC29 (DREAIMG.nbh) ROM after you did the root steps? If that is the case and you are getting permission denied when you su, then it seems as though your rooting was unsuccessful. You might want to check your steps again. If you mean its the ROM you are trying to get in terminal, just download the custom ROM to your computer, rename it to update.zip and flash it. No need for terminal to do this.....Flash the ROM you want and all your troubles will disappear with a fresh install. Its like a do-over haha
Also, you left several of my questions from above unanswered...the process of troubleshooting works best when you provide requested information....
And as Tarantino5 ^^above^^ me pointed out, your title leaves a lot to be desired. I brief statement of the problem is all the title need include.
i got it working...thanks for all your help...and sorry about the title i was just worried about my phone...thanks
Sounds good, glad it worked out...could you please edit your title so it has a [SOLVED] it front of it similar to the other threads? Its just a small way of keeping track of whats still unanswered...thanks
Hey Guys,
I hope this is in the right section. I'm having some issues with my rooted G1.
I couldn't get it to update to DRC92 (http://db.androidspin.com/android_developer_display.asp?developerid=21) so i tried following these instructions (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=553416) in the hope starting from scratch would solve the issues. I couldn't even get passed the step 7 in the guide as telnet gave a connection refused error.
I'm now stuck on RC7 and every time i try to add a rom i get
Code:
E:No singnature (454 files)
E:Verification failed
I also tried to change the recovery image to cm-recovery-1.4.img to try and install Cyanogen and i got the error "flash_image: not found".
I would prefer to have the official DRC92 rom installed though.
Does anyone have and ideas as to what the problem is and how i can get around it?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Best Regards, George
Im confused wether you have root...If you are on XDA your arse better have that HTC device or your looking around the wrong ******* forum.Im guessing your phone is fully stock fresh from th bakery i presume? If you have 1.5 now you better get to finding the one click root or find your way over to cyan wiki for the root guide.I be your arse to clicks and dog that you would be better off having root than stock.Oh yeah i forgot but welcome to xda and you better be gettin that root instead of reading this.Are yo usure you have root? WHat recovery are you changing from? You said you wanted to change it to cyan 1.4 when there are only 2 recovery avail..
Thanks for your reply. Yes i have root, i rooted it using an older guide that i can't find now. The recovery image was recover_testkeys.img.
The recovery image i tried to install is at te bottom of this page http://db.androidspin.com/android_developer_display.asp?developerid=3.
Any ideas?

I bought my phone used and I used the universal androot app to root it without locking the bootloader. I want to take it back to just the way it was when it came out of the box. Are there easy to follow step by step directions anywhere? I've searched but everything says it assumes you know how to use adb and fastboot. I don't. Do directions exist for dummies? It sure was a piece of cake to restore my old iPhone.
Yeah, I had the same problem a few weeks ago. My suggestion is look at some tutorials for installing custom ROMs and then reverse engineer those once you've learned how to use adb and fastboot.

Kind of like that, but this part confused me.
"Once you have this installed, add a folder path for the ADB utility to your System Environment Variables “path” variable."
Ok, when I get to step 7, the command prompt says "FAILED (remote: not allowed)"
What's up with that? HELLLLLLP!
I did a manual erase user data, but now when I go to Type 'fastboot flash userdata userdata.img'
the command prompt tells me FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
Help?
Okay, sounds like you're panicking.
There's kinda like a fix everything button, and that's a passimg.
Grab it here: (remove the spaces, I'm not allowed to post links)
w w w . megaupload . com/?d=7JQU3MV0
All you gotta do is put that on the root of your SD card. Boot into bootloader mode (hold down trackball when powering) and select recovery. That's all. It'll detect passimg, and fix everything.
The caveat here, is that you'll be on EPE76 - which was super duper annoying to actually upgrade from (but I eventually found a FRF91 rom that worked - I'll see if I can find it and post it for you).
But yeah. Download that. Fix everything. Enjoy
From EPE76 can't you just do an OTA update to upgrade to Froyo? And what exactly does this passimg do and how does it work? I got adb and fastboot working and everything, I just get errors when I try to flash. Do you have to have an unlocked bootloader to do this stuff? I just used the universal androot app to gain root, so the bootloader wasn't actually unlocked.
No. the passimg will just automatically flash radio, recovery, etc. so you don't have to. If you've got it working manually now, no need to use it.
The passimg does pretty much what you were asking about. The Nexus One has the code name "Passion", so "pass/img" is the original factory shipping image for the Nexus One. The OTA should then** come to your phone, maybe in a few hours, but maybe not for a while.
And if I do the passimg it shouldn't screw up the phone since I'm already running froyo and this will kick me back to 2.1?
Read - Nexus One Wiki, "Unroot / Restore your Nexus", PASSIMG.ZIP method.
Written especially to avoid threads like this one.
Well it worked perfectly and now I'm running 2.1 EPE76. Is there a way to force it to update to Froyo?
you should be able to open up your dialer and type
*#*#CHECKIN#*#*
or
*#*#2432546#*#*

That's a negative. It just says checkin result success, but doesn't download any update. When I go to about phone and system updae it says my system is up to date.
If I was reading correctly I should upgrade from EPE76 to FRF85B and then I should get the FRF91 OTA? Can anyone confirm this?
I got everything working and I'm back to completely stock Froyo FRF91 and I just wanted to thank everyone who contributed to this thread for guiding my annoying newbie ass through the process and teaching me a wealth of knowledge about the Android OS along the way. Thanks again!
For future reference, if you want to restore your phone while having no issues accessing it, just get Rom Manager. Use it to download and install a stock unrooted Froyo rom (just make sure to select wipe data and do not select the rooting options).
Very easy to restore. The passimg method comes in very handy if you cannot even boot into the OS.

Hello Guys,
I’m a Sprint HTC Hero owner who is trying to get CM 6.1
My device has the latest OTA update 2.32.651.2
I went ahead and tried z4root which has 2 options, temporary and permanent. Went ahead and did temporary and it stated that it was rooted. Superuser shows up in my apps, so I went ahead and installed ROM manager as a youtube video said (gave a full successful walkthrough)…I open ROM Manager up and it says – You must root your phone for ROM Manager to function. Superuser was not found at “/system/bin/su” or “/system/xbin/su”.
Now using Astro File Manager, I checked those directories and it wasn’t there as ROM Manager stated, but in my SD Card, I see su-2.3.1-bin-signed…
Now my question is, should I try it with permenant root?
If not, what is the recommended next step?
Should I delete/uninstall everything I have that’s related to my previous root attempt and do the following:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804296
I’m an Accounting major and a noob at this stuff…and I see people helping each other out here which is awesome, but I get confused trying to keep up with some posts where people are sent to other posts and so forth :/
Thank u in advance! Happy Holidays!
-------------------------------------------
Below is the process on a step by step basis from which i was able to complete it with the help of skndeep102. Thanks again buddy!
-Download z4root here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953
-Install and run app, press on Permenant Root
-Let it run until it says it has completed
-Once it has completed you will see the Superuser app in your drawer
-Download Rom Manager from the Market
-Open Rom Manager and press on Flash ClockworkMod Recovery at the top (give it a bit as it has to download it and then install)
I had already downloaded the CM 6.1 rom and had it on the SD card
-So i went ahead and hit reboot to recovery in ROM Manager
-Once it is in recovery, go ahead and scroll down to Nandroid and do a backup
-once you do a back up press back and reboot
-Once it starts up again head over to ROM Manager and select Install ROM from SD Card
-Look for the Rom, select it, and it asks you to Wipe Device and Cache, select both
-It reboots to recovery, select the rom and install
I hope i didnt miss a step, but thats pretty much it if i remember it correctly (spent much more time reading than actually doing, lol) Also, if there is something that isnt touched upon here just go ahead and read through as several questions were asked and answered along the way.
Hope it helps!
* Process confirmed to still be working as of 1/5/2011

I used permanent root when I did this
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
i am in the same position...the recommendation to me was to RUU to an older version and then root. I am not sure how to do that, so im hoping someone has another solution.
I personally dont trust those one click root options. Manual root requires a little more reading but I have never had an issue that way.
You can always try the permanent option. I dont see why you wouldnt want permanent anyway. If you use the temporary, its gonna unroot you when you reset your phone.

Did the permenant root allow you to continue with the process?
RUU back to an older version just requires that you have the htc drivers installed and the ruu exe. You just double click the ruu exe and follow the instructions.

I'm in the process of trying it...its been stuck at Rebooting for a couple mins now... :/
Wait and see at this point, i guess...
OK so I did the permenant root...and appearantly it worked since z4root is telling me it is and it now gives me the option to re-root and undo root...Also, when I open Rom Manager, it isn't telling me to root the phone...
However, I saw in another forum that a way to check if it is rooted is to download a terminal emulator and type in "su" after the $ ...When i do that it tells me permission denied....
What next?

It says that I must have ClockworkMod Recovery installed to flash and restore roms.
Where do I get this?
Just a heads up, it seems the root works, the su file is in bin and i tested out drocap2 screencapture app and gave it superuser permission. Worked perfectly...now if i could know where to get ClockworkMod Recovery as the Rom Manager I got from the market did not bring it :/
Use the "un-option" and try another method. I installed a stock ruu on my phone this morning to update my prl and tried the same app. It doesn't flash everything you need like the "flash_image" file. You need that to flash a recovery. I just re-rooted my phone the same way I did back in July. Take note that I am with cellular south and all I had to do is run a batch file and oila, there I am sitting in recovery. If you want to try another "root via app" method, you can try this-->View attachment UniversalAndroot.apk .
Instructions:
Open app and root
Download Rom Manager(which you have) and flash cm recovery.
I still think it probably won't work, but you can try anyway. I think these "rooting apps" only do enough so you can use apps like "AddFree"(or whatever it is) and others like it.
EDIT: In Rom Manager, the very first tab(up at the top) should say"Flash ClockworkMod Recovery". Press that one. It would ever flash for me until I went back to me nandroid.

I see what you mean...Can anyone else pitch in on the aprt in regards to the rooting apps only doing enough for rooted apps use?
I read in another forum that I could just get the apk for ClockworkMod Recovery, install it, and then Head Over to ROM Manager and continue the process? any truth to that?

quick question, performance difference between stock 2.1 and lets say most roms out there a huge difference?
anyone else care to throw some input into my situation?
Happy Holidays btw...
Just a heads up, what worked for me, once I was rooted and downloaded ROM Manager I had to install Superuser.apk, then when I tried to flash clockwork recovery I got the Superuser dialog box asking for permission, then select allow. another awesome program to help is Android Commander that you install on your PC and it provides a gui adb access but you have to have sdk and adb installed on your pc, but if you look around there is info about it available. hope this helps, wish i had more time but i was just home on my lunchbreak, good luck
So i downloaded ROM Manager / and Premium (because i really like what it does so i dont mind supporting him.
So when i go into the ROM Manager and tap "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" I pick the Samsung Captivate and it goes through and then says that it worked (version 2.5.1.2&2.5.1.1) and then i boot in recovery and i get the standard recovery, I try to reinstall packages and it says "failed" along with a bunch of red text, then goes back to the main screen. Is there another way to do this. or is something wrong on my phone?
I'm on stock 2.2 FYI
Feel free to ask questions and also if im just being stupid i dont mind also.
Thanks so much
-Allmaechtig
it helps if you tell us the error message. there are many
also im going to assume you are on 2.2 stock.. right? the error is signature verification
search for [Recovery] 3e Recovery Modded...... screw it,....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909213
once you have that fixed and temp flash the update.zip, you have to select "re-install" package 2 times in a row.
also once you have a custom rom that has a kernel with CWM built in. you dont need rom manager or the update.zip it downloaded. it will only screw you up. almost every custom kernel has CWM built in now.
yes the error is signature verification.
Thanks ill try that now an let you know if it worked
the instructions for 3e are a little confusing.
you can do it all with ADB or
you can do it all with Root Explorer
and he has the 2 methods reading as one.....
PM me if you need help finding root explorer for this ONE use... (cough cough)
