Rooting HTC Desire’s Android 2.2

You’ll find plenty of guides on the web to root your HTC Desire 2.2.2 with Unrevoked.

I followed one of them and I got stuck with the “Error: failed to get root. Is your firmware too new?”.

This seems to be a recurrent error happening with Unrevoked version 3.32 and HTC Desire with stock firmware.

I got around the problem just by using Unrevoked 3.21. You can get the older version of Unrevoke by searching it on google, or just use the one uploaded here: http://www.filecrop.com/unrevoked-3.21.html

Good luck!

Eclipse Indigo and SVN (Subversive + JavaHL)

Over the past few years I’ve tried many combination: console svn + eclipse, subeclipse, subversive, etc…

With eclipse indigo I think I’ve found the perfect combination: subversive 2.2.2 + subversive java HL connector + java hl 1.6 + svn 1.6.

Installation procedure:

1. Install svn (apt-get install svn)
2. Install the java svn bridge (apt-get install libsvn-java)
3. Install eclipse helios (from www.eclipse.org)
4. Install the subversive plug-in for eclipse (Help->Install New Software->Indigo Repository->Collaboration->Subversive SVN)

Tweaks:
1. Add libjavasvn to the JVM library path: add ‘-Djava.library.path=/usr/lib/jni’ to the ‘-vmargs’ section of eclipse.ini
2. Fix the gnome keyring access violation: add ‘password-stores =’ to the ‘[auth]‘ section of ~.subversion/config

Enjoy!
