.. or how to get a tattoo is not provided for this purpose HTC Android to get more than 1.6 to have as a system. A price you have to pay, however: camera immediately, Bluetooth and FM radio will not run. Who can live with that a very pleasant and mature SmartphoneOS expected with liquid, and simplicity as it was one of 1.6er usual, but no less elegant and fully configurable. I gebs yes, I did convince me leave at the moment where you should enter the unlock pattern. You get when the phone has been inactive a 3 × 3 box field where you select with your finger previously selected password pattern combination of at least 4 points must. Geekspielereien, I know, but it just was.
So I searched for months for a way Android 2.X to install on the tattoo, so far in vain. Until I found out why, passed a very langwierigier and uneventful day, but then I had it: the developers of Android, just like HTC, nor any hardware Cracks pities the present for the conditions on the chest a little weak device a to provide perspective for the future with a better operating system. Almost all the other models had it, but this just is not.
That was already happening with the root access to the telephone system: Yung HTC have what security terms probably much more trouble to restrict access to the unit and leave no gap open. Since no update was provided, there was simply no interface. The Application Developer well cared no more about it, Android 2 was indeed already come right in, who cares even 1.6? But a few individuals, there were probably responding to the numerous calls and needs help of the HTC Tattoo Fanpublikums and pity at some point in the second half 2010, the tattoo then found a security issue to crack. And that apparently has the breeding ground for everything else offered. Months later came out instructions and apps that should provide the user the full root access rights on his beloved piece of hardware. If. Most did not work - I think I've tried half a dozen approaches, and the only one who has not too much concerned with the shell for mobile phones, which I got from here . One must simply download the appropriate file in C: the directory to unpack (Yes, I've used Windoze for it because I did not want me to set up a complete Linux equivalent for hopefully this one-time operation) and then you had to in the manual (for the old HTC Tattoo 2's) HTC Sync put on the computer, fire up the USB debug mode and you could start the Rootpatchen.
somehow went the first time only half do not know why, but he would not install (the usual error when you were not root -> Validation), than I will be safe, a second time've tried, everything went like clockwork and I was obviously root.
But that is not known to do this: The individual modified "distributions" are mentioned as far as I understand the ROM and must be recorded (There probably even people who use several different and how others in the GRUB they set at the beginning before). So I myself look at the current version of this list made that 2.Xer on base and no longer ran on 1.6er. I tried it first with the SPQRom and then with the nFinityROM, but both failed me somehow the service. But then I found the SP- Froyo and I thought, all good things come in threes - if not work out, throw it all out again and start from scratch. But it worked, although I'm not sure why now but at one time, but it works.
I must now first while the basic Apps to gather together and install, but after what I have behind me, I can not be that hard.
UPDATE: So what's getting used to first, the power is much higher than the terminal root. If I normally falling Edison wants the thing, it gives me no recovery mode, not a reboot option. Even violent, actually. The installation of all packages of apps can now thanks to the pure Rootung easily bring about the update-einflashen. I'll do my tweaking but still some reluctance in the absence of habit to the firmware (maybe I would have really beginning a nandroid-backup to make ^ ^) but like so. Is certainly interesting and even more instructive to other than my former hacks for the iPod, where I've thrown on it Rockbox.
UPDATE II: Hell Yeah! If you install the appropriate package for Google stuff CyanogenMod 6, everything is back to normal. Provided that you have synchronized hard. Now my calendar goes back and screws I just have a little of the subtleties. Took longer than I thought was more complex than I thought, but still all in all, only a few hours of effort by a stable HTC Android 1.6 is a tattoo with almost as stable to do with Android 2.2. The Facebook app has, incidentally, finally upgraded to a handling experience. Who would have thought. I must scour the market and now only looking at the shit that I need at hand. :]
