this is a different problem to my other or is it
i flashed cyanogen 4.0.4 i think it is, also flashed the most up to date radio no
problem.
my phone is real slow and a calender app keeps asking me to force close it
and also terminal emulator will not allow me in when i type "su" keeps coming up "not allowed" so i cant install my cm-recovery
anyone help thanks
(ps have not partioned my sdcard yet but i will do that with ubuntu disk i have)
i just had a call come in and the phone just said" Android process stopped and now i have no signal or 3g what is happening
also i keep getting " the process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly.please try again" i then have to force close
all sorted did a wipe and seems ok, even let me install recovery
I have the latest cyanogen rom. The apps were working fine before when I had first installed the rom the first time. I tried to install the flash player mod and it just froze the launcher so I had to wipe and reinstall a fresh cyanogen rom and now I am getting most of my apps telling me to force close them.
This didn't work for me but I had a different issue completely, but I read elsewhere that it may fix the chain force-closes. So download this file, then in a terminal emulator run:
su
sh /sdcard/fix_permissions.sh
See if this helps.
is there a location I am to put the file to all I am getting is sh: can't open /sdcard/fix_permissions.sh sorry I am kinda new to all this so please bare with me and ty for the fast reply/ help.

I'm guessing this is your first Android phone, so let that be a lesson to you... when you have any issues, the first thing to do is reboot. If they still persist, it's time to do a full wipe and reflash.
Hi there.
I was trying to root the captivate.
The superuser icon appeared but was stopping unexpectedly all the time, not just the superuser, but all the apps from the root.
So, in the safe screen, i erase all the data and cache, i don't know why i do that, so now all the processes are stopping unexpectedly all the time, i can't do nothing with in the phone.
What should i do now ?
Thank so much for helping me.
Edit Update
I manage to go to the safe screen again, and install the update.rar again.
but the warnings of the "stopping unexpectedly" was appearing all the time, i was closing, but a new one pops on the screen, somehow i manage to go to the sd confg. and i unmount the sd and format.
so now the big error is that the typing letters is not working. and some notifications appears.
in the time i was typing this, the notifications returns to appeares all the time, so i unmount the sd and format again.
the typing was returned , but 1 minute after, notifications returns.
i will try to install the 2.2 Froyo now
sorry for my english
edit
now is working 100% whith 2.2
=DDDDDDD
I'm writing this becuase i recently had trouble following other guides rooting my Bell and Virgin (canada) htc Legend with 2.1 on it (2.2 is out here yet)
First follow this guide
[HOWTO] DOWNGRADE to 1.31 which you can then root for Legend 2.1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=725430
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(By now your should have adb set up and your gold card)
If it dosnt downgrade and shows that it fails its okay just move on
After following downgrade guide and it failing install temp root
the best way is to get the apk is to go to this link in the android browser
goo.gl/TcP1o <---Download link to visionary apk
In the web browser open downloads and install the visionary apk
Then connect your phone to your computer open cmd.exe and via adb get root
with cmd.exe
go
Code:
cd c:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools\
for me adb is under platform tools, if you dont update the sdk it is under just tools
then
Code:
adb shell
a # should be at the bottom line, then type in
Code:
su
This gets you root, if it says denied run the visionary app and try again, then
Code:
/data/local/flash_image misc /data/local/misc1-2.img
Then for the actual root
Flash the Rooted ROM1. Download the Rooting Tools
Legend Rooting Tools:
2. Unzip them to the C: drive on your computer (so the file path is C:\r4-legend-root\)
3. Turn off your phone and turn it back on by holding down Back and Power until you see Fastboot come up on the screen. Push the Power button while highlighting Fastboot on the phone and Fastboot should show up in red now on the phone (if it doesn’t push Power again until it does).
4. Plug the phone in via USB cable to the computer.
5. Open the folder you extracted to the C drive and double click “step1-windows.bat” and wait for it to finish.
6. Once you see the menu on the phone come back up, navigate to BOOTLOADER and push power, then navigate to RECOVERY using the volume buttons to navigate and the power button to select and the phone should boot to the ! screen.
7. Now on the computer double click the “step2-windows.bat” file and wait for it to finish. (UPDATE 12.13.10 – You MUST have HTC Sync version 2.0.33 not a newer version for step2 to work. Please uninstall HTC Sync and download and install this version instead, unplug then plug your phone back in, then rerun step2-windows.bat).
8. Now you should see a custom recovery screen, using the optical trackpad navigate to Wipe and push on the trackpad to select it. Then navigate to Wipe data/factory reset and select that.
9. Once that is done, push volume down to go back to the main menu and select Flash zip from sdcard and select the rootedupdate.zip file and wait for it to flash. All done, you have root access and can use any root required app! Enjoy!

Hello, Having some trouble here.
I got to the step where you run the Step1 batch file from windows. The cmd prompt comes up and says "erasing cache....." then sits. a few minutes later. i get
"FAILED <status read failed <unknown error>>
< Waiting for device>
During the erasing cache part, my phone had the boot menu on screen with no response from the controls. Also, a little green status bar was at 90%. (Second thought, that may be battery level. not sure. Confirm?)
Yeah, so, can't get step1 to work.
EDIT: ok. got step 1 and 2 to work. I basically just kept trying over and over and it went through.
So, i got to the custom boot menu. But i try to install update.zip from sd. But i get an error.
It says.
Installation aborted.
--wiping data...
formatting data...
formatting cache...
data wipe complete.
--install from sdcard
finding update package
opening update packing verifying update package.
E: failed to open /sdcard/update.
zip (No such file or directory)
E:signature verification failed
installation aborted.
So, wtf did i do wrong? now my phone is completely wiped, so.... now what?

then when the verification is off flash it
k after i finally succeeded to downgrade (thinkin that the hard part is done!!!!), but i cant get past step 1, i keep gettin either "waiting for device", or htc black screen, or nothing happens. step 2 is even worse, all i get is "device not found", or loads of "FAILED". ive reinstalled htc sync 2, uninstalled htc drivers.
i think it seems that my computer is not recognising the phone as an android device, cos everytime i connect it, win7 seems to automatically install drivers (nd i cant stop that) and recognises it as HTC ANdroid Device (it appears as a "Disk Drive")..... tried to use htc sync, phone keeps searching nd it fails.. help please i cant use my phone

You should install the old version of HTC Sync until you're rooted, have you done that?

You need HTCsync 2 only for step2, to step1 you need the most updated HTCsync.
And you need step1, don't ignore that step just because it's not working.
Install the latest HTCsync, connect your phone to the computer, and put the phone on fastboot mode (should be written "fastboot usb" on phone)
now on the computer, in the folder of the rooting tools, write:
fastboot-windows.exe devices
Does it recognize your phone? (Should output details bout the phone including serial I think)
wel ive done step 1 now. i created a thread for this here..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095017
