thanks for stopping by and reading tell your ideas about the error massage
LOL 176 view and no one had the answer
Maybe it's hard to understand your problem. Cause it's difficult to understand one long sentence...
Anyway. Is the phone actually rooted or not? If yes, and you where trying official updade on wifi, the error you get is natural.
More can be said if I get the exact state of the phone.

Hi
I am unable to root my tmobile (uk) htc G2 Touch, I have tried the following:
xda developers forum guide by Dayzee (unable to download image)
theunlocker 1 click method
(receive error on step 10 - backup failed)
Model: T-Mobile G2 Touch
Firmware 1.5
Build Number: 2.73.110.26
Can anyone help?
Usual problem with the G2 Touch...
Follow his procedure and you should be fine
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=572683
Thanks mate, I'll give it a try
ok, iv tried the above link, but its still not working, im getting the same error message, any ideas
three different approaches to root and you are getting the same error message?
yup, at exactly the same stage
Try using the HEROIMG.ZIP method. If you go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=575448, there are some instructions. To clarify on where the actual ROM.zip file you have to find is, it will be in C:\Users\Username\AppData *(a hidden folder, might need to unhide/type in the folder name)\Local\Temp\some folder with long nonsense name\another nonsense name\ROM.ZIP
You'll need a gold card to do this though, but this is how HTC does it themselves for upgrading phones in for service.
This will get you back to an old, easily rootable (using flashrec/fastboot) firmware.
HTH
EDIT: I would recommend using the oldest available RUU (1.73, as that gives an unlocked fastboot, and is also definitely easy to root, as I've done it myself. Others should work, but no personal experience of them)
checked that but it no one has said that it actually works, so no point trying it really,
it seems to be when I use flashrec to back that I receive the error
Hey all,
I have a Hero on 3 UK network and since the stupid network dont seem to be releasing any updates for it, I want to root it and manually put 2.1/2.2 on there.
Problem is, NONE of the guides on how to flash it work.
Here's what I've tried so far:
Goldcard method - I have succesfully created a goldcard using a Kingston 1GB card (tested on a Desire and works). Trying to downgrade to the stock HTC ROM using HTC's RUU gives me error 140 (bootloader version error).
Rooting the phone - Phone is all hooked up to ADB, can poll it for information etc. Tried to boot it into a recovery image but get an error saying the following: "downloading 'boot.img'... FAILED (remote: not allow)"
Alternate rooting method - So I found out ROM version 2.73 or whatever it is has some kind of extra security on it. The guides are advising me to download flashrec.apk and install on phone to backup then flash the recovery sector of the phone. This doesnt work. I can neither backup nor apply the recovery images. Even if I override the backup part, it still wont work Just gives me yet another error.
Seems that my Hero is locked down with some impossible to break security. Anyone else having the same difficulty with Three UK? If so are there any other ways you guys may have come up with to root/flash your phone? I'm getting really pissed off with it and am probably going to do an insurance job on it if I cant flash it.
FYI, this phone has not been updated since August 2009. Everything on it is stock from Three UK.
Versions (if you think it's useful):
Firmware: 1.5
Build: 2.73.771.62
Baseband (radio): 63.18.55.06IU_6.35.08.22
Kernel: 2.6.27-430d1aea
Any help I shall be most grateful for!!
Follow my newbie guide. Should talk you through it step by step.
The bootloader error is probably a driver thing. Update your HTC Sync and it should update the drivers.
Sorry, just noticed the thread got moved, my mistake.
Anyone able to shed any more light on it?
I followed the noobie guide and it didnt work. I have the latest version of HTC Sync installed.
Insurance job looking more likely.
Still with error 140? Did you update the driver in fastboot / bootloader mode?
Alternatively try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=726118

Which one is your noobie thread mate? I followed several threads off this forum all claiming to be noobie. TBH, they were all pretty straight forward enough, and worked when I helped my mate flash his Desire.
Min can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645253 (it's also in my signature )
Ok yeah, I'll just go over the points in your guide then explain how it failed...
Using Flashrec to backup and apply a recovery image...
Flashrec simply doesnt work on my phone (have tried about 3 different versions, including the very latest which is 1.13). No functions work. Cant even use the bypass backup button (hidden button to the right of backup button). That section ended there for me.
Goldcard method...
No matter what RUU I try to downgrade to, it does not work. Keep getting error 140 (incorrect bootloader version). The goldcard I made definitely works as we used the same one to downgrade my mates Desire today.
I found some other guides, which looked like they might help as they go a bit further, but ultimately every time I try and actually do something, it gets blocked, access denied or some other error.
Flashrec won't work if you're on the wrong version of android (i.e. not downgraded using goldcard).
Goldcard is fine it is most likely your drivers in your bootloader mode that are wrong - check them first.
Drivers were ok. I managed to downgrade using a newer version of the stock HTC ROM after scouring these forums for hours.
So in short... ALL GOOD.
Only problem I have now is that there is no manual update option on eclair (1.5). The 2.1 FOTA updates attempted to download before I setup the WiFi and now it wont come back.
If you want to stay official then you can put the month forward a few and the update should show up again.
Surely the point of this was to get root and a custom rom though no?
The point was actually to get Droid 2.1 'cos 3Uk are dragging their heels big time, but now opens up the options of loading custom ROM's.
TBH I'm happy just to have 2.1. Eclair was doing my head in with all its bugs.
Thanks for the tip with the date - it worked!
i wounder if you did it or not ? cuz o have the same demmn problem with my hero G2 touch t-mobile nothing work for me i try all methods i think last solution is to bring a big hummer and break it as i like (
Fellow 3 UK Hero Owner
I'd just like to add how angry I was when the 2.1 update failed to show up. The Goldcard method worked perfectly for me, then I looked at custom ROMs. I currently run Gingerbread and I have to say, not only is it SUPER fast and smooth but its way less buggy than the stock Hero ROMs.
I'm with the Cronos crew. To get the latest ROM, search for cronosproject (.org) and click forums. (cant post link because i haven't posted 8 times )
Seriously, you wont regret it
best way to fix this is...... make sure u have a file manager, download universal androot to your computer and then to your phone install through file manger and root phone then once rooted install rec image with rom manager from market.....there you go its rooted now follow my guide to flash custom roms properly and to root phones....
mayb its ur android version
may i please know it i can surely help you
I have T-Mobile G2 touch that is running Android 2.1 and now I want to take it to Android 2.3
A friend of mine "debranded" it from T-Mobile and put a custom ROM on it for me over a year ago but not sure what procedure he used.
The phone doesn't seem to have been rooted.so I am first of all following the procedure I have seen all over these forums and various other sites which is to take it back to kernel 2.73.405.5 in order to root it then proceed from there
The procedure I am following is:
Get the SD card CID code using either ADB or the goldcardtool.exe
Calculate the reverse string using either a website tool or the goldcardtool.exe (tried both methods)
Get emailed the goldcard img file generated by the website
Format the SD card with fat32 and write the contents of the img file to it using either the goldcard tool or manually using a hex editor from sectors 000 to 170 (I have tried both methods)
Restart the phone (should something obvious happen at this point ?)
Thenwith the phone connected to the PC via HTC sync run:
RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver.exe
After it goes through trying to install I get an error
Error (140) bootloader version error
I have also tried using RUU_HEROR_HTC_WWE_1.76.405.1_R3_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver.exe
With the same error.
My phone details are
Hboot 1.76.0007 (Hero10000)
Firmware version 2.1- update 1
Baseband version 63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.11
Kernel 3.36.405.1

Browser version webkit 3.1
Can anyone tell me where i'm going wrong please ?

If your phone has a custom ROM on it then it will be rooted. And what you are doing is a method I'm not familiar with when rooting..
There are simple one-click root methods available in the form of;
z4root or androot.
Use one of them and you will find the process to be much simpler.

Hi,
You are right I've just tried Androot and it reports that my phone is already rooted.
However i'm still having a problem that when I try to download and install a 2.3 ROM (Elelinux-7.1.0-Hero-v2.6) i copy it to the SD card rename to update.zip then when i try to enter the updater HOME+PWR i just get a picture of a phone with a red triangle with a red exclamation mark in it.
I had thought this was because i wasn't root which was why i was trying to get to a baseline to start from but it appears not.
I think this and the previous problem may be down to the bootloader version i have installed ?

No its because you dont a custom recovery installed, there are a couple guides in these forums which should tell you how to install one or download rom manager from the market and install one from there.
Sent from my Hero using XDA Premium App
Ok Thanks,
have already been trying to flash a custom recovery image but flashrec doesn't work for me. I keep getting "could not run command" the flashrec page http://zenthought.org/content/project/flashrec suggests this may be due to a patched ROM being installed which is part of the reason i was trying to downgrade the ROM in the first place.
I've also been trying to use ADB to flash the recovery image from my PC but i can never seem to get the SD card mounted via USB.
I'll try a market app and see how i get on
update:
downloaded "ROM manager"
When trying to Flash Clockworkmod recovery with it i get an error which says "an error occurred when attempting to run privileged commands"
this sounds like my phone is not rooted despite with androot says. (which fits with what i've read on these forums and also here http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/18/how-to-downgrade-your-htc-hero-so-it-can-be-rooted/
here that i need to go back to kernel 2.73.405.5 in order to root correctly.
I seem to be going round in circles :-/
it seems like i can't flash a custom recovery until i downgrade the ROM and Root it
and i can't downgrade the ROM until i have custom recovery installed
<bangs head against wall>
Did you get a prompt while trying to flash the recovery? ie; A prompt which asked you to allow ROM manager superuser access and you have a yes/no option.
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA Premium App
Yes and i allowed it. i now have "superuser" running in the background with ROMmanager allowed superuser privileges
i did the first option in the menu which is to flash "clockworkmod recovery"
this time it didn't complain about privileges (Some progress !)
but I then told it to reboot into recovery mode but i still got a red triangle with an exclamation mark in it
then i tried it again and SUCCESS i now have a recovery utility
Off to try to install EliLinux 2.3 now.
Many thanks for the pointers !
it is very much appreciated.
No problem, its what I'm here for .

I have a huge problem. I have changed the original recovery.img of my phone(u8860) and using an android application I have started the phone in recovery mode manually. So, at startup there is an error screen says that signature verification error, change the recovery with official one. The firmware version of the phone is U8860V112R001C121B943 and I don't have the original stock rom. When, I try to install other Huawei roms like b919, b930 etc. I take an error message says "update failed" So I can't install any software and I can't turn on the phone. I need the stock rom or I need a firmware downgrade patch (I tried b929_rus patch it didn't solve my problem). Please please help me I'm in very big trouble. I have no idea to solve this problem. Thank you for all your answers.
This problem ruined my week
Please help. I have read all the forum about my device and I did not find any solution.
I have tried to create a downgrade patch but I couldn't because of the signature problem
I need support, please help.

Ulefone Be Touch OTA
Hi,
I have rooted my Be Touch and installed custom recovery as well using this guide
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/recovery-ulefone-touch-lollipop-t3132204
Now, there is an available OTA from the local reseller and I can't install it due to custom recovery. How do I update my phone now? The error I am getting is System is Damaged which I have attributed to CUstom Recovery upon searching google
I have the same problem to update phone. The downloaded update.zip file over OTA could be found in my SD-card, just 18.89Mb. I've tried to install it using recovery by choosing "install zip -> choose zip from sdcard". But finally I got following error:
...
Verifying current system...
"EMMC:boot:7262208:..." has unexpected contents.
E:Error in update.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
Hofefully someone could help?
yes same with me, I am trying sideloading with ADB but I do not know about that, unable to make a connection between PC and phone. Maybe someone has stock recovery image so we can perform the OTA update? Anyone can upload their stock recovery?
Reverting back to kitkat.
I tried flashing using spflash on my Ulefone Be touch, it was on lollipop and it did not transition to kitkat. it in fact got semi bricked but i got through that and fixed it. the phone was originally rebranded so it had another skin on top of it (not ulefone). how can i get it back to kitkat? do i have to root it and manually flash it on my phone? or is flashing a downgrade not possible by just regular means?

Here is the latest stock rom: http://ulefone.com/download/betouch.html. You will find the boot.img and recovery.img in the zip file. But I'm afraid to brick my phone to have a try. Moreover I don't know whether this root method could still work if I get phone flashed successfully...
are you using a rebrand? I already flashed the recovery of Be Touch, unrooted my phone as well but OTA is still failing, even manual zip install and sideload fails. I guess it is because my phone is a rebrand and thus, uses another recovery as stock. I have used this ROM as my base now and I can confirm that root is still working

I think my phone is not rebrand, because there is ulefone logo on rear cover. I got it rooted with Build 20150513 ROM.
With the rooted Build 20150513 ROM, I get phone flashed with official Build 20150529 ROM successfully. Afterwards, the root method still works!
yup and i hope we get new build soon with bug fixes! Does your phone get a lot of heat when charging and browsing 3G?

I've used several phones and can accept this one. More faster to change the phone more heat will get produced. Surfing or gaming will need more hardware resource and power for display, no wonder that it will get warm too. Maybe a metal cover will get heat better distributed, but then it will be sold in another price...

You should try 20150702 ROM. Phone is now not less hot when charging and surfing. I did flash back to official 20150529 ROM and then do the OTA update.
There is a ROM of ulefone be touch 2 on needrom !
Rooted Be Touch 2, Xposed, Loving it.
Hi folks. I used this process to successfuly root my Ulefone Be Touch 2. Instead of the provided recovery.img and boot.img, I used a version of Carliv Recovery and the Be Touch 2 boot.img found through needrom and it worked perfectly.
I was also able to install Xposed Framework by changing the Android version from 5.1 to 5.0 in prop settings (using BuildProp Editor) - which is fine since most say it's fake 5.1 anyway.
Does anyone know whether people have successfully installed custom roms to the Be Touch 2? I find the stock ROM laggy - more so than it should be - but I hesitate to install something like CM or Liquidsmooth without knowing.
Thanks again to the OP!!
Looking for Be Touch 2 Root and Recovery too! Any luck? Thanks in advance!

I got this working on win10 (and also working on win8/8.1), but what you have to do is disable "driver signature enforcement". Check this vid if you don´t know how (youtube.com/watch?v=PAxTCvRmlio)
