this may sound stupid but is there a virtual android phone that you can flash roms on?
You can't use the Android Emulator from the sdk?
The emulator in the SDK has a stock AOSP ROM on it - somewhere i've seen instructions on throwing a boot.img into it. Good should be a good source for you.
Common Telnetd problem - unable to root
What's up xda!! This is my first post ever!
..please be kind.
I am experiencing a n00b issue w/ rooting my G1. So far I have been able to get up to where I am on RC29 and <enter>reboot<enter> successfully reboots my phone! This is great up until I'm told to hit the enter key twice, type "telnetd" and press enter. after the phone starts up.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT:
I believe I have ADB drivers installed properly installed
I am able to run Droid Explorer and it connects and recognizes my unit
I also have the following files on my SD CARD prepared
recovery-RA-dream-v1.5.2
update.zip
I have also read that ONE solution is to look for someone with an current T-Mobile Monthly Account and ask to borrow their sim card so I can install the Telnetd and enable WiFi past the Google Login(I have asked a fellow and I was told an aggressive NO, apparently people are afriad of anything related to hacking and their SIM CARDS)
I have the G1 Original SPL currently
Also when booting into recovery Alt+L gives me the Log that shows ""
I hope to have made an appropriate first post granted I've been searching for answers and help and am still experiencing issues. I look forward to participating in this forum in the future looks like you guys have been having fun for a while!
Any suggestions are definitely welcome.
Maybe try to update your phone to Android 1.6 with official OTA packages (last 3 ones are which you should flash) by stock recovery (it will accept this packages if you apply them in correct order - every package is named sth like "CRB43 to CRC1" - then you which should be applied) and then try one-click root app? When you have superuser priviliges you can download ROM Manager and flash custom recovery, then by recovery flash engeenering SPL. And with this SPL you can do what you want with your G1.
I rooted my G1 both ways with goldcard and with one-click root and I have to say, one click-root ROX.

Hey raven, thanks for the reply!
By doing this update are you suggesting that I use the G1 Original SPL to flash the Offical Dream RC29 ROM (OTA_ROM RC) listed on that page, IF so what should follow that? Would I be allowed to flash the Official RC30 Patch - from RC29 to RC30 (Removed Root) (OTA_ROM RC) and the Official RC33 Update - from RC30 to RC33 (OTA_ROM RC) with the same update.zip that came from the G1 Original SPL also?!
I'm lost with your suggestion, b/c if it requires me to enable WiFi to get the OTA update I would still be unable get pass the Google login. Would I not be stuck back to where I am now? As of right now, I am at the Android Welcome Screen with the G1 Original SPL and RC29 that were not listed on that page AND so far unable to get root b/c of unavailability of TelnetD and WiFi. I will proudly follow those instructions?? Sounds like following the flash of Offical Dream RC29 ROM (OTA_ROM RC), that I would need to somehow use a method to flash the Official RC30 Patch - from RC29 to RC30 (Removed Root) (OTA_ROM RC)...I think?!
Excitement!!!!!
EXCITEMENT!!!!!
I used:::::
1- Plug your G1 & Install Drivers.
2- Without Sim Card in Your G1, <enter>setprop persist.service.adb.enable 1<enter> Even though u dont see what u typing, but u are actually executing a Command on your G1 to Enable USB Debugging in Settings.
3- Once u Execute that Command USB Drivers will be Installed again, but this time will be recognised as ADB Interface.
4- Click Start>Run>cmd> to Command Prompt
5- Type c:\adb devices (If your Device is Connected u will see it)
6- Restart your G1 but now With Sim, to see the Activation Screen then Plug USB Cable & Type c:\adb devices (to make sure u are connected)
7- Type c:\adb shell (U will see a $ sign) Just Copy & Paste this into Command Prompt (am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.Settings) The Settings Screen will Appear, now Switch on Wi-Fi & Connect to the Internet.
8- Now u can either Login with your Existing or Create New Account with Google.

here is where I was lost, I'm sure many are running into the same issue. The adb.exe that is located on my PC is what the command prompt should be finding, however there are other folder possibilities in where the application is ran to even use the adb functions. For instance, my adb.exe was installed in "c:\android-sdk-windows\tools" instead of strictly on the "c:\" I was not aware that I would be controlling the phone unit through my command prompt as well!! silly me, something so easy can become one of the biggest problems. ONE MONTH LATER!!!! THANKS XDA!
Totally new to android, anyone mind explaining?
the command is "adb install <path/name of apk>".
do it from your computer in a shell/terminal.
Do I have to mess with the NDK at al? I thought I saw something on that...
Bump, more info please?
NDK? Did you mean SDK (android for windows developer kit), If so yes. Download and install. Follow the link below for drivers.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=882751
Once SDK and drivers are installed, connect the NC. open command prompt (start menu, run, CMD), type adb devices
You should get a return back of some numbers and DEVICE. This means SDK and drivers were installed correctly. Once ADB (SDK) is installed correctly follow this thread.

Even though I installed the JDK 6u23, the Android SDK installer won't let me install because it doesn't see the JDK installed...
I used the same 623 package, installed that, then reboot, then install the SDK. BTW what OS are you using?

Win x64... I installed the 32-bit version of the JDK and got it..
If you're totally new, I'd suggest heading over to http://nookdevs.com/NookColor and reading up there.

My SDK install is in C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk-windows
When I run in cmd:
cd\
cd Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
I can run adb commands. The thread wants me to run sqlite3 commands too, but they are in a different directory:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk-windows\tools
I am pretty confused on what to do
Do you guys use search at all or check the development forum for this device i mean come on its all in black and white.
I don't know what I did exactly, but I managed to install apk's from the root of my SD card
sweet
Please someone help!
After following instructions of Easy USB ADB Installer for Windows, and running adb devices, my nook didn't show up as a device.
Also I tried installing a software and it said application not install.
Thanks in advance
Easier thing to do is go into Settings --> Application --> Unknown Sources then download an APK with your Browser and install it from the Downloads window. I suggest finding an APK for Astro File Manager and get Dropbox, that way you can install Apps straight from Cloud storage.

I have that same problem, have you found a fix for it yet?
I'm running Windows 7 x64
with an I-7 Processor
AlphaRev X Beta is now available for Wildfire/Buzz users stuck on 2.2.1 with HBOOT 1.01.0001 and above. This will make your Wildfire/Buzz s-off and give you the ability to get root. Follow this excellent guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130881
If you have downgraded to a 2.1 rom and want to get back to official 2.2 rom to use Alpharev X Beta or have HBOOT 1.01.0002 and want official 2.2 with HBOOT 1.01.0001 to use Alpharev X Beta follow this excellent guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1132028
Thanks to all who made this method possible and to those who developed the tools used etc.... This is not my work just trying to simplify it.
I accept no responsability if you brake your phone
Will NOT downgrade the HBOOT but useful if you need to go back to stock 2.1 rom.
Right Here we go:-
Downloads you will need:
Android SDK:- http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html Google search for a guide to setting this up and read the guide carefully so you know how to use adb.
HTC Sync:- http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=316&cat=3&dl_id=1073 Basically for the drivers to use adb as these are included with htc sync you no longer have to install drivers from sdk to use adb.
HEX Editor:- http://mh-nexus.de/en/downloads.php?product=HxD I suggest you find a guide on making a GOLD CARD as you will need a GOLD CARD any way, this will get you ready and use to using the hex editor later in this guide.
Super One Click:- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10452428&postcount=43 Download un zip it and save to pc.
Flash_Image:- http://www.android-hilfe.de/attachm...-how-rebrand-o2-desire-fertig-flash_image.zip un zip and save somewhere on your pc you will remember.
A 2.1 rom RUU to downgrade to:- http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Buzz Choose the one that best suits you WWE=Unbranded or chose one for your provider/carrier, download and save to ur pc.
Now your have set up the Android SDK you know what ADB is and how to use it (hopefully), you have created a GOLD CARD, you have installed HTC Sync, you have downloaded the 2.1 RUU.exe you want to downgrade to, you have downloaded Super One Click 1.5.5 and un zipped it and save it to ur pc and you have dowloaded the Flash_Image and un zipped it and place on ur pc.
Ready Here We Go:
Step1 - Open Super One Click and press SHELL ROOT it will run its commands and will give you temp root. You will see rooted at the bottom when its done. Try again if it says FAILED it may take a couple of attempts. ( Make sure you have adb working ) and (make sure usb debugging is ticked on your phone and unknown sources tho im not sure if unknown sources needs to be ticked, mine was and that when you plug your phone it the pc via the usb cable you select charge only on the phone)
step2 - open a cmd (command Prompt) on your pc and type adb shell (if you installed the android sdk and read about how to get to adb shell you will have no problem) (for me i type cd C:/android-sdk-windows/platform-tools and hit enter, the type adb shell. (if you see a $ try shell root in super one click again, if you see # your good to go).
step3 - copy the mtd0 file to sdcard.
(in cmd type) cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/misc.img
step4 - move the misc.img to your pc and use the hex editor to edit it. (run HxD as administrator click extras, open disk image and select your misc.img you just got from your sd card).
step5 - go to 11th row down, you will find current version number at
the end of that row.
step6 - Change it to 1.25.405.1 if you want to use "Ruu_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.25.405.1", the press file and save. (change the numbers to match the 2.1 RUU you are going to downgrade to (common sense) ok)
step7 - copy the flash_image (the one you downloaded at the start of this guide) and misc.img back to your sdcard.
step8 - (in cmd type) cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
step9 - (in cmd input) chmod 755 /data/flash_image
step10 - (in cmd input) /data/flash_image misc /sdcard/misc.img
Now you can flash offical android 2.1 RUU rom you downloaded earlier (don't forget to make gold card).
Now your on Android 2.1 but your HBOOT is still version 1.01.0001, so Unrevoked still wont work. So still no full root as yet.
Once again not my work just trying to keep everything simple and in one place, ALL THANKS TO ORIGINAL DEVS AND GUIDE CREATERS. BUY THEM A BEER.
Thanks for making this clear, then i wont have to explain it in details
Notice Adb is included in the SuperOneClick directory

This How To works but its useless hboot cant flashed.
For clockwork-recovery is a flashed hboot needed to get Nandroid.
save your time and wait for unrevoked update
PS: find a way to zip a edited orginal rom with changed hboot or find a way to take of the siganture verification this is the way to get full root

Its not useless if you need to flash back to a 2.1 rom for any reason, which is why i made the guide because i was asked by a few people who did not like the 2.2 update or were experiencing problems on 2.2 that they were not on 2.1...

It gives you temp root so you can downgrade to a lower rom but I couldnt get it to work with titanium or get su permission in terminal app on the phone! have not really tested past the downgrading stage yet will update if I get any more info.

2.2 is more stable and use less of ram and the radio reception is better for most providers.
superoneklick cant give the access for root apps its shell root not file system root
I read somwhere a technique that involved fooling a RUU installer to apply an older rom by replacing some file(s) with older one(s).
I too am stuck with 2.2 and hope to see an easy way to set my phone free
Sent from my weak Wildfire, can't wait to trade in for HD2.
try this>>>>>
open the ruu setup and do not click on and let it open, look in the temp directory of your windows user, according to the extracted files of the setups and replace try something there maybe it will work, I have not tried it yet because most processed rom . zip files stop at the signature and the md5 check.
As if I wan to downgrade my wildfire in order to root . does it downgrade work ? Because u said tat "Will not downgrade the HBOOT" . Newbie here.. dont flame me~ thx..
wait for an other way to root. Downgrading the rom to 2.1 dont give a possible way to root because it will still have the new hboot. The unrevoked team say weeks a go that they are working on it but i guess still without succes. Just wait a read the forums.
I have extracted the 2.2.1 firmware and the rom.zip file within it!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi i am unable to post in Dev area, I have managed to extract the .exe from the 2.2.1 to revel all the files including the rom.zip file to which the hboot file is in there.
Do you think we can change the hboot file and fake it to think its 1.01.001 when infact is a hboot file that can be rooted.
I am kind of new to the android platform but not to linux. My device came with 2.2.1 pre installed. This is just a idea weather it will work i don't know.
Could you post this question in the forum that you posted asking the same question with the words that i have managed to extract everything. Thanks
this was a pm sent to me, i am just posting it incase any one can answer

from the Android SDK page:
If you downloaded the Windows installer (.exe file), run it now and it will check whether the proper Java SE Development Kit (JDK) is installed (installing it, if necessary), then install the SDK Tools into a default location (which you can modify).
its not a requirement to install it on your own any more, apparently

it would appear that with each new release of sdk, that they make it more and more noob friendly. thank god for that
now all they need to do is make the installer include adb in the environment path automatically (or by choice, via installation selection)
explaining to a noob to:
install java jdk
download android sdk > unzip it in a location you can find easily
add adb to environment path OR cd c:\path\to\sdk\folder
hell, with most of the noobs you lose them at install java jdk....
