Hi !
Please appologize my poor english. I'll try to do my best. I a newcomer in DHD universe.
I've :
- rooted my DHD with Visionary
- added S-OFF with scripts
- installed Rom Manager and patched recovery mode with Clockworkmod.
... At this time, can I install custom roms ?
Because I don't understand stuff about "fastboot". I've done nothing with it. Only the three things above.
Thank you for your answers... I don't want to brick my phone

You have done well so far buddy
I would highly recommend using Apache14's radio s-off and superCID. And doing a backup through clockwork mod before trying anything.
One done all that Just download the zip from whatever ROM you would like and flash with clockworkmod.
Happy & safe flashing

Thank you !
But... what is this "Apache14's radio s-off and superCID" ??? Is it a custom rom ? I've just installed "Revolution HD" and it works perfectly. Do I need to do something else ?
No, you do not have to do anything anymore.

What is your "OC", in your signature ?

OC means overclocked. Just means they might have flashed a kernel that overclocks the cpu or that they have rooted and used a utility called SetCPU which allows you to overclock your phone to make it faster.

Hi,
Firstly my stock rom is:
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_H3G_UK_2.25.771.1_Radio_32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14_release_149217_signed.exe
locked to 3 in the UK
I tried to Root my phone yesterday using this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016084
After completing step 3 rooting phone using unrevoked everything seemed fine but when i tried step 4: S-Off Procedure With Alpharev
it tells me my device is undetectable or doesnt exist. And in the recovery menu of the phone it tells me that misc and cache could not be found or mounted.
I tried to reflash the stock RUU but when i click next it tells me the battery is below 30% (its 100%) and wont let me flash. I did enable install from unkown sources and enabled USB Debugging.
Does anyone know what my next step is cause my goal is to unroot my phone and install a rom like Redux.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
If you need any additional info just ask.
Thanks,
I had trouble at that stage too, it just took my PC a few attempts to connect.
It might be worth just giving it a few more goes.
I also found it useful to install AmonRas recovery as a custom recovery with the unrevoked tool, and to also not install the recovery in alpharev.
Have you tried wiping the battery userdata in recovery before running the RUU?
Thank you so much, AmonRas recovery showed no dam errors like clockwork did, im about to attempt to s-off it now, il update this in a while about how it goes.
Hopefully it should be smooth sailing from here.
Thanks!
I found that alpharev refused to recognise my device while I remained on stock sense rom after rooting. Only when I flashed custom rom if choice (oxygen at the time) did it work.
You have to avoid roms using data2sd etc though, instructions at http://www.alpharev.com

Confused the heck out of me, I thought alpharev were getting sponsored advertising or something.
So OP are things working? Which ROM did you decide on?
Hi guys
I have a desire bravo that i updated to the new gingerbread ruu when it came out.
Sorry but i have a few questions. Im on holiday at the moment and im using my desire wifi hotspot to use the internet at the moment so i really dont want to mess it up.
1) I used the clockwork mod to S-off and install a custom recovery this morning.
I know that the S-Off worked and i manged to install the custom recovery as the superuser app has shown up in my menu and the hboot menu shows S-Off.
First thing i did was to do a back up that i have saved to my computer..
I then moved on to Root the rom and it showed as being complete
When i installed root check from the market i get some problems. The first is : Application superuser has stopped unexpectedly. I have to force close the app to continue. Root check then tells me that "Root Access is not properly configured or was not granted"
Anyone have any ideas about what i did wrong ???
2) if i cant root the rom should i just install a new custom rom. Does anyone know what is the best GB rom with a new sense (not bothered about what one) i should install. Not worried about App to sd yet as i thought if i start small with a stable rom then i can always change to a rom with app to sd built in at a later time once i get used to changing roms
Thanks for your help as i said i really dont want to brick the phone as i will lost internet access and will be stuck till i get home.
Thanks Guys
BTW big thanks to the clockwork guys for all there hard work
When your phone is s-off, you don't have to root it (or rather the os). So if the s-off process finishes (you cannot s-off with a recovery, so I assume you did it with revolutionary), just flash a rom with root access and you're done.
There is no "best rom". It depends on personal preferences. Just try.
yes i used the revolutionary way to s-off and install the recovery files and i have to say it works very very well very easy to understand
Thanks for the info about rooting the rom. I think i understand now
so can i install any rom now as i updated to the offical gingerbread ruu when it came out ?
If so can you recommend a good gingerbread rom with a newish sense on ?

After you run the revolutionary process successful, flash a custom recovery with fastboot (how to use fastboot -> see my sig). I recommend 4ext or rmd. Now boot into recovery, make a full wipe and flash any rom you want (save important first). Just follow the given instructions in the corresponding thread.
For the sense rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=809328
thanks guys. I think im going to give the AceSMod007-Lite (Sense2.1+3.0 GB ) a go as a lot of people recommend it. 1 quick question.
Can i install this rom even though i installed the offical RUU Gingerbread update and s-off'ed using revolutionary??
Thanks Guys
sorry one more question.
I did a backup of my rom via recovery. If i dont like the new Rom can i just restore to my standard rom via retore in recovery mode?
Yes, you can. Just wipe everything and restore. If you cannot to this, a backup would be senseless, don't you think?
Swyped from Oxygen with Transparent XDA App
Thank you soooooooo much. I just flashed the rom and eveything is working perfect
my phone now shows that i have :
885 MB on Ext Partition
34.27 MB on /data
3.97 MB on /System
Does that sound right?
Looks fine.

I’ve recently rooted my desire (gsm) using unrevoked (Linux) and i thought it would also give me S-OFF but apparently I where wrong. I've already searched around looking for a way to get S-OFF and in all the TUT’s, Guides etc. it says that you should have an unrooted stock HTC 2.2 ROM or at least an official HTC ROM and that’s the problem…
I’m using Cyanogen Mod 7.1 and I had a backup of my stock 2.2 Sense ROM but I lost it.. or. well... i deleted it accidentally.
Now the question is; Can I still get S-OFF and how? Do I flash a HTC ROM and then do it, should I use AlphaRev, Revolutionary or do it manually (if that works on Ubuntu)
All help appreciated
It should work fine with CM7 aslong as you didnt flashed any a2sd/d2ext scripts.
If i remember correctly, i was doing my first S-OFF with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768703&highlight=leedroid

does that mean you have to flash stock ROM?
i once had this problem too, it causes my phone to stuck at the boot screen (Joker with S-OFF card), and then i flashed a ROM built without A2SD. Voila, it worked!

Not necessarily stock ROM, but ROM without a2sd/d2ext scripts.

I don’t know. I downloaded CM7 using rom manager flashed that, Gapps and superuser 3.0 beta 4
But just to be on the safe side I’ll flash Leedroid 2.2 but then what? Do I use Revolutonary or AlphaRev??
edit: a2sd/d2ext scripts it that when you have partitioned the sdcard? cause ive done that but thats easy to fix
No point in using alpharev it's just longer. Use revolutionary.

Hi,
Finally my wife has given me the green light to customize her phone, Wildfire S (GSM). I have done custom roms and recovery stuff on my EVO 3D, but this device seems a bit different.
I'd like to confirm the steps to succesfully accomplish this.
1) Unlock bootloader with Simons HTC utility v4. I don't want to use HTCdev for obvious warranty reasons.
2) Root the device using HTC Supertool (by Frigid) using the zergRush method.
3) Install custom recovery. I prefer 4ext, but don't know if it is available for WFS.
4) Install custom ROM. Any suggestions there, I'm leaning towards WildChild for now.
Some final questions:
Is rooting really neccessary to install a custom recovery?
If 4ext isn't available for WFS, which touch recovery do you recommend?
Thanks for reading and for your replies!!

There are just 2 recoveries for our phone: cwm and twrp. Both work great.
I dont think so that you need root to install a custom recovery.
For Best ROM: ICS: CM9 by modpunk. Wildchild is great too.

I'll go and look for an installer for twrp.
Since my wife needs to use the phone, I'll stay away from CM. She 'depends' on Sense :victory:

Lets go step by step of your procedure
1)Unlocking the bootloader with Simons HTC utility is a smart choice
2)I'd prefer to root the phone via Doomlord's easy rooting toolkit(Search it on Xda)....it's much easier
3)You have a few options right now,
4ext isnt available for the WFS so if you want a touch recovery you can try TWRP
Or you can use the official CWM 5.0.2.8(Best way to flash this is via Rom manager)
4)A few options here
(i)If you want to keep Sense,go for Wildchild Sense
(ii)If you want very minimal sense,use the original Wildchild Rom
(iii)If your wife is ok with AOSP,flash CM7.........but i would to wait a bit if 'cause our CM7 is going official soon
I wouldnt recommend ICS because it still has it's share of bugs(which are universal to all ARMv6 devices) and JB is REALLY A WIP
And i think you will need to root to install custom recovery........because flashing would need root permissions(I think so :silly
I did a quick search and it seems download links to Doomlord's Root kit are down.
I also found this recovery flasher. To me it seems root is not needed for this flasher. Any pre-requisites are unknown to me at this moment, but an unlocked bootloader seems enough as far as I can think of.
4ext isnt available for the WFS

The 4ext in the post is referring to the custom recovery and not the filesystem.
Simons Utility failed to work for me. I simply went the htcdev way.
Phone is running Hensemod for now.

I'm total noob as well, but i want to start installing other roms on my DHD. I've Searched this forum for several hours, and I found a lot of different ways to root, unlock, radio off and I dont know what more you can do...
The best option for a noob sounds the Easy Ace Root Tool, as suggested in this topic. But what I dont know is what to do after the tool is done...
If I understand well, this tool wil unlock the bootloader, provides root access and flash ClockworkMod Recovery, right?
Can someone give me some information about the next steps?

Yes, you understand correctly. Next you flash a rooted custom ROM from recovery. You get those from the development forum. After you install it from recovery, you will need to fastboot flash the boot.img from the ROM zip using your computer.
is it enouhg to open the h-boot over the htc-dev page and after this to install maybe twrp for recovery,to flash roms on a desire hd,ofcource with flashing the boot.img with fastboot.Icant find another,actual way to root my DHD?!?

If you're rooted (and with ARHD you should be, unless you removed it) you can install the 4ext updater apk from the 4ext website (google for it). Then, install the recovery from the app.

If I just instal 4ext recovery, would it just replace the TWRP which i have now or I have to unninstall it first?

It'll just get overwritten by 4ext. You don't need to uninstall it.
