[Q] Apps 2 SD and Adfree?

Just got my new desire and have rooted using Unrevoked.
How can i get Adfree working? (am i right in thinking its because NAND access is blocked on the latest handsets?)
also and more importantly how can i get my apps transferred to my SD card? im pretty much out of space already. I have a class6 8gb SD with a 512mb EXT3 partition, the rest is FAT.
can i get it all working without flashing a custom rom?

Search the development section for alpharev s-off, that will unlock the bootloader and remove nand protection, also i think there is an apps2sd script for froyo floating about there

it would solve your apps2sd issue, but you would still have to unlock your bootloader if you wanted full nand access

[Q] Root access to install apps to sd

Hi after spending about a week reading through forums I managed to change my friends HTC HD2 to android using the LEO "Stock" NAND Android ROM.
All went great thanks to the excellent instuctions on here.
I then put z4root on and app2sd and all worked great.
I then deceicded to buy an HTC desire for myself not the HD one.
However maybe I should have done some more reading first as I cant find a way to root device to install apps to sd card.
I dont really want to flash another rom as phone is new and under warrant.Can you root without flashing a new rom or somehow move them to sd
Have I just made a huge mistake buying this phone or is there a way.
All help appreciated thanks

How does rooting void the warranty less than flashing a custom rom? Don't answer cause it doesn't.
It is possible to root and keep the current rom, but if you want to enable A2SD then it's a lot of work (not talking about the froyo crap).
So if you want A2SD is suggest you root with Unrevoked and flash Leedroid. Don't forget to make a ext partition on the sd card before flashing.
Disclaimer: You are the only one responsible for you phone, no one else!

You can root the stock ROM as TheGhost 233 said. You can also use AlphaRev's S-Off as well on it if you wanted.
As for me, I couldn't be bothered with A2SD so I just S-Off'd and then used the n1table to increase my internal memory. The ROM I use uses bugger all in the system. Also, you can move apps to SD card anyway if you have 2.2+.

No, I don't think you've made a mistake buying this particular phone....seriously....
As for rooting, use the Unrevoked method which is the easiest....Alpharev S-OFF works too ( I think you can't flash custom HBOOT images if your phone has the latest PVT-4 NAND..better check on that..)
Here's the complete guide from the Desire Android Development section of the forum:

Thanks for the replies I am waiting on phone getting delivered today from virgin.
I will post back when I get a chance to have a look at it.

I got root using unrevoked3 but my phone is s-on
My phone is on virgin branded and I presume locked though not tried another sin in it yet.
If I wanted to flash leedroid Rom onto phone what steps would I have to do
I put on setcpu so that seems to have helped battery life but would like custom Rom on
Thanks

Hold on wait a minute you don't have to flash a new ROM at all your v-mobile phone should be on froyo (android 2.2) current software version 2.22.351.3 which already lets you put some apps onto your sd card at the moment i only have 3 downloaded apps that are on phone only mode.
[edit] you can also add downloaded apps from computer to sd card and install with Astro - Every one that i have done this with enabled move to sd and i still have 98mb of space to store more apps (even with the ones that are installed by v-mobile)

Thanks for reply yes it is on new update but I thought some of the modded roms were using less battery power so I wanted to know how to install one.
I have rooted using unrevoked 3 but i notice my phone is s-on
Just wanted to know if someone could advise me on the steps to do this or point me to a guide.
Will look at that astro as well thanks.
I have modinstall also

The issue you have is should things go wrong you can't return to stock as the Virgin RUU hasn't been leaked, so make a gold card now before you continue. This way, should the worst happen, you can flash the generic HTC RUU to get back to stock
Then look at custom ROMs using A2SD+ - most do it these days but best to check the ROM thread in question to make sure. Then partition your SD card and flash the ROM and you're good to go.
S-OFF isn't something you NEED - just means you can make changes to the OS without having to go into recovery first. If you're not going to be making a lot of changes bar a new ROM then leave that for now

This is what i was thinking and knowing v-mobile if you can't find a stock ROM to flash back to may have no warranty. That's the only reason i havent messed with mine

Early version (2.1) are about so you could downgrade using the guide on here but I don't know if it'd work (depends on the HBOOT)
Either way, a gold card is needed

[Q] How to restore nandroid after flashing 2.37.707.3

Hi all,
I flashed the asia rom RUU "RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.37.707.3_Rad i o_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2_release_188759_signed ".
Now I totally regret and wish to either (1) restore to my earlier ARHD rom backup saved via ROM Manager and/or (2) install/flash older ROM version
Device: HTC Desire HD 2.37.707.3 with S-ON
Steps taken so far:
- I have tried all the various guides but I can't seem to S-off and/or root my HTC Desire HD.
- Download and run various older versions of "RUU_1.72.405.3 or 2.36.405.8 or 1.32.405.6_signed.exe" but unable to update
- Unable to restore my backup via ROM Manager / Clockwork as it requires root access. But the backup file is in my SD card, any way out?
Any advice please?
Thank you.

Unfortunatley at the moment theiris no way to downgrade 2.37 and above to get root/soff So for now you are stuck until the revs figure it out

Just walked out from HTC Singapore HarbourFront.
HTC frontline said: "Unable to downgrade from Android 2.3 to 2.2 as advised by technical engineers due to different bootloader and may damage the motherboard."
Me: well, downgrade the bootloader as well.
HTC: As advised by our technical team, it is not allowed.
Me: ok, I bought this device as Android 2.2. I just want to reset back to original version.
HTC: "Unable to downgrade from Android 2.3 to 2.2 as advised by technical engineers due to different bootloader and may damage the motherboard."
Me: so what other alternatives? Can I escalate this to your manager?
HTC: I'm sorry sir. You have to write in via email.
Me: ok, what is the email address?
HTC: sir, there is no email address, but you can use the email us button on our website.
Me: THANK YOU.

Tried most of the methods mentioned online to no success..

The only thing I can think of... Do you have ENG S-Off? If you are not sure, go Bootloader and see if you have it or not. If you have it my friend, your problem is solved! You can flash CWM recovery via Fastboot command (in Bootloader mode) and then boot into recovery and restore your Nandroid backup!
Goodluck

100% confirmed solution. i followed the following methods and it works:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15290453&postcount=1828
Create a Goldcard
Download this ROM - Mirror
Put the PD98IMG.zip onto the root of your SDCard
Boot phone into Bootloader (hold volume down whilst power on), follow the steps and continue to update
(I encountered an issue here, so I tried my luck with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003 => Section 2b [For Gingerbread ROMs, 2.x] and continued with following and was able to downgrade)
When it has completed and your phone boots up, download stock 1.32 PD98IMG.zip ROM
Delete the previous PD98IMG.zip from your SDCard. Put the 1.32 PD98IMG.zip onto the root of the SDCard
Boot phone into Bootloader, follow the steps and continue to update
Enjoy~

[q] stuck in hboot

Hello! I have spent the last 2 days reading and searching for threads with the same problem that I have. Unprosperous, I desperately hope that you guys can help me, because I am really stuck. Now to the problem..
Basically, as you may already have understood, I am totally stuck in HBOOT-mode. There is no way I can navigate my way through the different menues. None of the buttons won't react. It is the same problem as this guy has:

The phone is a rooted HTC Desire, temporary running CyanogenMod, Gingerbread 2.3. Do you know, or do you think you know how to solve this problem, please let me know. Thanks in advance!

Anyone? Feeling insanely desperate. However, I'm also very grateful for all the help I can get.

Someone in the thread you linked said that he solved the problem, maybe try messaging him?

Uhm.. I'm not sure I got that right. Which one of your threads do you want me to read? Sorry, but I'm a total n00b at this. That's why I'm asking for help. Though, I think I've heard about that "PB99IMG"-method before, where you have to put the .zip file in the root of your SDcard, or something like that (?). The main problem is, I'm not sure how to go through with it myself.
I appreciate the help!

I'm willing to help, but you have to get the basics..

Droidzone, I just read your guide. It was very detailed and easy to understand, good job!
So, I should just follow the steps and unroot my phone? I'm not sure if I have to make myself a goldcard, because when i first rooted my phone, i managed it without making one. But im considering to make one anyway, just to be on the safe side.

You should definitely make a gold card. It is the difference between bricking a device and having to return it, and restoring it to a perfectly working form. It hardly takes 15 mins to make, and you can even make one of your existing card, save all the intermediate files safely and use that card as a non-goldcard too (though not recommended). All you need is the CID of your sdcard, and once you save it as a text file, you can make a goldcard any time you need without a phone. But for safety reasons it is best to check that a goldcard works by actually following the procedure to the end.
I made the guide when as a newcomer to the forum, I almost bricked the device. Lack of a goldcard was what my issue unsolveable..
Now, every time I visit the Q/A section (which is infrequent now), I see at least 10 recent posts which can be solved by my guide alone.. Someone ought to sticky it

There is one step that says I have to put the PB99IMG.zip into the root of my goldcard. I don't understand, how do I do that?

You dont know how to copy a file to sdcard??

Oh.. So you just have to copy the file to the SDcard?

Yup.................

Nevermind, then..
EDIT: I'm stuck on the Goldcard. Can't get the CID. It won't find it..

No, S-ON.

Formatted the SDcard, moved the PB99IMG.zip into it and booted the phone. I got much further than I did before. However, it has been remained stuck on the white screen for about 10 minutes. It says..

You really need to search this forum first! Anyway, I'll make it easy for you this time.
If you have the HTC stock ROM v2.2.1 and your phone is network branded then you most likely have HBOOT 1.01.0002 which means that the standard rooting methods will not work unless you do this first:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1132028
After you do that, which downgrades your HBOOT from 1.01.0002 to 1.01.0001 you'll have to use Revolutionary to S-OFF you phone. At the end, the Revolutionary process will ask you if you want to install a recovery. Make sure that you DO!
Option 1. If you want to stay with the stock ROM then you also need to do the next step:
After that you need to put the zip file attached (see end of this post) on you SD card, boot your phone into recovery and install that zip from your SD card to gain ROOT. Afterwards you'll probably also want to go onto the Market to download BusyBox and install it in both possible locations, i.e. system/bin AND system/xbin - diferent programs look for BusyBox at different locations.​
Option 2. Otherwise, you can just put your favourite custom ROM zip on your SD card, boot into recovery, do a 'Wipe/factory reset' and then install the custom ROM zip.
NOTE: This will NOT unlock your phone if it is network locked! You will be rooted and be able to install custom ROMs, etc. but you will STILL be network locked!
