Do any of the pre-rooted Froyo+Sense ROMs work with SLCD screens? Preferably as close as possible to HTC's ROM.
(Feel free to move to Q&A if it's more appropriate there).
I don't own a Desire but this'd be interesting to know now that Telus has released the NAM 3G Desire.
Well the official one should work 99% (cause it's official) and there's a rooted version floating around here.

There is no official Froyo update for the Telus Desire yet. Which is one reason I was asking.
And also - I thought that unrevoked3 fails to root a Desire that has received the stock Froyo OTA due to upgrading HBOOT to a more secure version?
Thus it would seem to me the best way for a Telus Desire user to get rooted Froyo is to find a pre-rooted ROM and avoid loading any OTA in order to remain on the lower HBOOT version.
im thinking of getting the HTC Desire with SLED.
Is there is a difference in the system that I will not be able to use the custom roms (including those labed official roms)?
Well you can root +reflash Eclair with unrevoked and then download the prerooted OTA FroYo here. Then you'll be able to install it through clockwork recovery

Are you saying that I'd have to flash a version of Eclair other than the one that comes with the Telus Desire, in order for the pre-rooted OTA FroYo to work?
Anyway my main question was - does this release of FroYo already work on SLCD phones? If yes, then it's all good.

This worked for me on a brand new Telus Desire.
I'm now using a rooted official 2.2 ROM.
Good to know, thanks!
Yep I followed link uptop. I'm with Telus and have a slcd,I'm rooted,a2sd, and running leedroid. All is wonderful.

Do any of the popular ROMs still fail on SLCD or has this been mainly fixed now?
I used neo and leedroid no problem with those two.

Why "still"? As far as I know all roms work on SLCD just like on AMOLED

When the SLCD Desires first launched there were reports of people trying to flash certain ROMs and getting a dark screen. There is even a tutorial on here for people who tried to downgrade HBOOT and now need to navigate a dark screen in order to restore functionality.
My understanding is that OpenDesire only added SLCD compatibility recently, so anyone who tried to flash that ROM before it was upgraded would have also had a dark screen.
Thus I ask... do any of the popular ROMs still fail on SLCD?

AFAIK it's not SLCD, but hboot 0.83 that caused stuff to break

It was SLCD. hboot 0.83 is no problem at all.
Problem was the img clockworkmod recovery installed. with the new img for slcd no problems.

The clockworkmod only affects the recovery. In the rom's kernel there must be also support for the slcd. For example CM nighlies got the support on 08072010 version and on RC2.

Telus Desire Unlocked running on Rogers network - How can I install Android 2.2 Froyo
Hello,
I have an unlocked Telus Desire and I want to install Android 2.2 Froyo on it. I've tried downloading the various versions around the internet but I keep getting the following error:
E:Error in sdcard/update.zip (status 7) Installation Aborted
I'm not sure if this has to do with the fact the Telus Desire is version 8182 and the other ROMS are for the 8181 / 8183 version?
I would like to keep HTC sense if possible and not have to go through the whole process of rooting the phone (creating gold card, running revoke etc etc).
Can anyone point me in the right direction or let me know what I am doing wrong?
Much appreciated!

I've just installed Official_FroYo_2.10.405.2 on my rooted HTC Desire.
Checked for updates and was offered to install the system update mentioned above.
Is there any point for me to install it? anyone heard anything good/bad about this update?
Thanks
You shouldn't apply OTA updates to a rooted phone. There is a high probability that it will mess something up.
I would suggest you get the 2.29.405.5 RUU from shipped roms and run that.
However, this will wipe your phone and you'll need to root again.

Thanks for the info.
Regarding installing a new RUU, as this is a pain in the ass, are there any substential changes from 2.1 to 2.29 that you are aware about, which are worth the trouble?
Not sure about the changes. Look for a changelog on HTCs website.
I would suggest running it though as your rom is a good few months out of date

How do you check your hboot version?
HTC Desire
hroot
boot via recovery:
turn off, hold vol down and power.
not sure but there may be a beta unrevoked 3.2 maybe. if it works, post!
I searched for a beta for unrevoked but didn't find one. Where would I have to look?
HTC Desire
perhaps was meant 3.32 link
and check your hboot version
we are working on getting the new HBOOT rooted. its not easy unfortunately and all of the easier methods have been ehausted and not alot of people want to risk their shiny new desires in an effort to get root.
I have hboot 1.06. Is it able to be rooted?
HTC Desire
hboot 1.06, No.
Not at this time. It is being worked on and I'm sure a lot of people are interested so keep posted.
Apparently it can't be rooted full stop, going by a post I saw on Android Forums (Phandroid)
I guess I will just wait for unrevoked 3.33 to be released.
HTC Desire
Or maybe Alpha Rev?
Seen this link?

no.. unless you're one of the unlucky ones with the bad batch of emmc chips that fails to initialize. that's more a hardware issue than a rooting issue, though, and not something to worry about. you might do well for yourself reading this thread in regards to /cache mounting errors.

the downgrade is only done temporarily for the rooting process. after you've rooted, you can upgrade to a custom rom built from 1.84 (or any other firmware version) and get all of the functionality back and then some. I'm not sure what fixes were addressed between 1.34 and 1.84 as I am a G2 owner, but regardless, once you're s-off, you can use any firmware version you'd like that is supported by the DZ.
Thanks!!!!!!
last quick questions. when im rooted. i want to install the sense 3.0 virtuous fusion rom on my phone. do i need any prerequisite items such as gingerbread rom installed on my phone or not?
Also finally, htc is releasing the gingerbread update for DZ/G2 in the next few days so if i upgrade to gingerbread, will the rooting process still work?

Nope, you can go from any ROM to Virtuous Fusion. Flashing a ROM wipes the old ROM, so it doesn't matter what was there before.
Hi, i've been looking around to help my friend with his new desire,
I would like to see if this works, according to my research...
If I ran the phone through unrevoked, would this root the phone?
And in turn, let us install rom manager + clockwork mod?
I don't have much experience around here as I am still looking about rooting my nexus
Hope you can help

I'm gonna have to ask about the bootloader info, but it is currently running stock (latest) which I think is 2.2?
EDIT: How do you get into the bootloader? Is it power+ volume down?
Yes.

If its running 2.2, chances are very high that you can root it with unrevoked. Make sure the hBOOT version is 0.93.xxxx

If its the same as mine, yes unrevoked will do. However, i was having issues with CwM before so now im using amon ra recovery.just a heads up

It will work. As long as the drivers required are properly installed. And you don't need s-off unless you are planning to change the boot partitions (eg. Change from Stock hBOOT to CM7r2 hBOOT to get more space for apps)

If your still not 100% sure I don't think you should even try rooting your friends phone. You'll need the htc usb drivers installed on pc, make sure the htc sync apps is not installed.
Use unrevoked to root and install cwm recovery, from there you can install any of the great roms.

Please read the rooting faq in my signature. There's also a guide there which incorporates pre requisite information which (for some unknown reason) is missing from most other guides.
But read the faq too. It's not about blindly following steps. It's about understanding the process and what you are doing.

Hi all, so I've been trying to update my hboot from 0.75.0000 to .93 but have been FAILING miserably. I'm currently on ICS, and have tried alpharev which didn't work. Trying to flash rom to RUU has also failed but I don't know why. Flashed my radio to match the one with the RUU and that didn't work, which i'm guessing is due to the inability to simply flash from ICS to 2.2 or 2.3?
So my question is, any other tips?
Try to flash the hboot downgrade from alpharev then the right RUU. If that works you can root and s-off your phone with unrevoked/revolutionary. If you want to change hboot to cmr7 or data ++ (example) you MUST be s-off......

Thanks for tip, I've actually done alpharev and it also failed. Reason being it needs a rom that doesn't already have a2sd, any suggestion as to which rom is suitable?
Thanks
Edit: I've actually online done the hboot reflash, and not the downgrade. Will give that a go first and see what happens.
I think that all the rooted roms have some sort of a2sd, that's why I think you have to start from the beginning. Start with an original ruu.bring it back to its original state wich came out of the box...my knowledge doesn't reach that far ;-) its the easyest way I think.

Can you post your complete bootloader. Turn of phone, hold down volume and press power. What info does the left upper corner give you ?

It is:

Still I think what's best is to go back all the way and install a ruu. Then go directly to revolutionary. It will root and s-off your phone and installs the custom hboot.
Maybe I have more time to help tonight, I am at work now :-(

That's what I'm thinking too, hence why I'm trying to flash an RUU onto the device. I however get this error when I do it

Is it possible that your phone is branded by provider, in that case you have to create a goldcard first. I have no experience in this. Hopefully I am pointing you to the right direction.

Hey there, firstly I would like to thank you for ALL your help and of course the effort you've put in it.
I've actually fixed it by firstly going to page ~16 of the android development forum for the desire, get an old rom, flash it in and then performed the alpharev. Lo and behold it worked because the rom is reasonably old and a2sd was "new" then. Flashed it back to ICS now and I am proud to announced that I S-OFF'ED!!! Partition done and OFF I GO.
That's great !!!! Have fun with your fixed desire )))

@bjornzzz Any suggestion on which rom you flashed. I've arrived at this boot loader while going back to stock from alpharevx hboot / ics rom.
Flashing an Ruu before flashing the alpharev downgrade didn't help much. LOL
