I used AlphaRev to turn my Desire S-off,and now i want to upgrade my phone.On the AlphaRev site it's said that by removing HBOOT from rom.zip I can keep my phone S-off after upgrade,but i don't know how to do it.
Should i remove something from rom.zip? what files should be removed?Directly remove it and flash or i need to sign the rom again then flash?Need some special tools,or just need winrar?
Just flash a custom rom, upgrading with a ruu makes no sense when you are rooted and S-offed.
But I think official rom is the most stable one and it‘s prefect with S-off
It's stable but slow as balls like. Custom roms are developed better. Stock roms are all about "eye candy" stuff but if your wanting a stock rom, go ahead and get one. Just avoid running an RUU otherwise bye bye S-Off and you will need to root and S-Off again. That is just my opinion.
The Ruu won't be rooted (but you can root it), however if you like the stock rom find the prerooted rom in development or try leedroid.

What do you actually want to achieve? By the sound of your posts you want a custom ROM with Sense ?? Try Leedroid 2.3d it is custom with sense and very stable. Go for the version with +A2SD and format and partition your sdcard with 1GB Ext3 or Ext4 and the remainder as Fat32. Use PArted to do this in Linux base.
I can almost guarantee that you won't look back.

Why do people say LeeDroid is so good? I've never seen the attraction myself, prefer my own ROM tbh

Eddy,
You are a seasoned Androider so have probably tried most if not all of the custom ROMS. Our friend here seems a little lost about his objectives....hense my recommendation. It is a most stable ROM, much better than a stock rooted ROM and very good for him to use while he figures out exactly what it is that he wants.

Hey all,
I've just received an HTC Desire update (Since I'm using the stock ROM with stock radio), my phone downloaded it but it cannot install due to clockwork recovery blocking it (signature failure).
I have the .zip file. How can I customize that .zip to be able to install ?
I am rooted, with clockwork 2.5 (Version before 3.0) and have stock ROM and stock radio.
Please help.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this topic. Thank you!
Never apply OTA updates on a rooted phone
Find a rom in development and flash that.

Yeah, I found that out on the internet whilst searching for clues.
The thing is, I rather keep the HTC ROM than move onto other ROMs made by other people. It's just my preference. I just want to know how I could modify or something to allow me to install the latest OTA update.
Thanks for the reply.
You can't, simple as that
If you want the new version you'll have to unroot using the RUU and then re-root

Thanks for the quick reply buddy.
Okay, I must unroot then apply the update.
So, I must uninstall Clockwork recovery then unroot then update then root then install clockwork recovery. Is that right?
What is your software version at present?

Version; 2.10.405.2 (Froyo)
Radio; 32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14
Using this stock HTC rom => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741775
Download this and flash it:
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe
If it doesn't work, try:
http://www.mediafire.com/?bbb7m2b4t5jejhm
http://www.multiupload.com/LEJCW182AH
Then re-root if you want but bare in mind you still won't be able to get OTA updates
if he waqnts to keep root and use stock rom why doesnt he just flash teppics stock rom?
its 2.29.405.5 base, exactly the same
he has clockweork, he can just flash it over the top
True, but they don't say they want a custom ROM
Thanks so much but (you're gonna laugh) I decided to google your ROM, eMIUI and I'm in love.
I looked at the xda topic and well it was overwhelming for my simpleton mind. I really want to install that ROM, is it safe to flash it or must I have EXT2? Cause I see some ROMs require EXT2 while others don't. I don't have EXT2 nor do I know what it is.
Sorry about my "foolishness" but I'm really interested to have the same setup as you Eddy. Tell me all about it.
Oh and since your from Merseyside, can you maybe pop by Anfield and give those excuse of football players a whack on the head for me please?
Could've just clicked the link in my signature and you'd get the page on here
As for hitting Liverpool, I would but I'm a Gooner (from London originally) so kinda funny to see them faulter - if a little sad
Regarding my setup, I have a 1Gb EXT3 partition set purely so that I don't have to worry about space in future. When I rooted with unrEVOked I flashed AmonRA as opposed to CWM as at the time you couldn't partition SD cards in CWM (think you can now). I'm using a 16Gb Class 2 SD card and it works fine.
I tried a few other ROMs before finally giving eMIUI a go and I love it and with a bit of my own work on it (purely cosmetic, nothing under the hood) it does what I want it to and I normally go to bed with 40-50% battery left whereas on stock I'd be neally out on the same usage.
he said no custom rom but tepics is just stock with root and busybox which is what he would be now anyway
anyhow hes looking into miui
Miui is nice, emiui seems to be the most stable but an EXT is needed
How do I get an EXT?
Thanks so much guys!
I'm rooted, with clockwork 2.5 and I have S-ON.
Just run the correct RUU. You have to re-root like but still. Saves farting around
I have sd-ext is that the EXT2?
I don't know, not used CWM in a long time. What version are you using. It normally says at the bottom of CWM when in recovery
I partitioned an EXT2 512MB with 128MB buffer. I'm using 1.01.07, the same link as the one in Eddy's signature. I am wondering..... how do you flash a kernal? Can I do it even with my eMIUI installed or I must wipe?
Thanks!
HTC is complaining that Desire can't fully run GB with Sennse because of low RAM.
Does this mean that GB uses more RAM than Froyo?
I think you got something wrong. Gingerbread uses less rAm (random access memory) than froyo. The problem was, that it uses more space for rOm (internal phone storage) than froyo. So they had to delete some sense apps to make gingerbread appropriate for the desire's internal storage.
so I just create an SD EXT partition and all is well again, right?

No, because with the official stock gingerbread you cannot use a2sd/a2sd+. Furthermore, you need root access to use a2sd/a2sd+. And you cannot root the official gingerbread yet.

As far as I know, you cannot avoid flashing the new hboot when you flash the gingerbread update.

you can, just extract ROM.zip from RUU and delete hboot (or boot) .img from it, then flash with PB99IMG method
but why do that either already a rooted stock or fully custom
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.

Hey guys
Has anyone of you some experience with the offical 2.3.3 update for our desire?
Is it worth to be installed?
thx for your replies
The official 2.3.3 update is not a good choice due to memory shortage of HTC Desire hardware. S-OFF your Desire then flash it may be a better choice.
I'm already s-off, I just wondered how it works and if it's doing its job.

in short, it sucks and there's no point in using it when you have a much larer selection of much better rooted ROMs.
When I updated my phone, it was pointless as there not much difference from the previous version! Had same memory problems as before!

Well, that's definitely the fastest and the most stable choice. I used it for a while, but now I'm trying some sense 3.5 roms, but will probably go back to official RUU.
I attached you two files, data2sd by darktremor and boot.img that I edited to support data2sd. Flash boot.img first with fastboot then go straight to recovery (dont boot your phone) and flash dtapps from recovery. You will get stock 2.3 with data2sd support. Try it and I think you will be satisfied.
Of course the phone has to be rooted.
I hope I helped.
P.S. Sorry, I forgot to mention, you will need sd-ext partition - ext3 (any size but I think that 512mb is enough (no swap)) because stock rom kernel doesn't have ext4 support.
Hey.
I've got a question, my buddy got a Desire (GSM) wich I sold him long time ago.
I had Oxygene and Oxygene hboot on it, now its stock 2.2 Sense and unrooted, cause he is an IT illiterate.
Now he is complaining about lacking internal space, and I will help him root it, and install another Hboot, because that gave me around 300 mb. internal space, when I owned it.
My question is, he will be running rooted stock 2.2, and I will root it and install another HBoot on the phone, to get some more internal space, but wich one should i pick?
Bravo Stock 250M 40M 147M 7bd5234711364880de1fa982dcf3a2d6
Or
Bravo Sense 180M 40M 217M 47d034c8350e665dc20eafbd3a4900de
?
I think you should write down what is exactly shown in the bootloader first. You have to be SOFF before changing hboots.
As far as hboots are concerned only use the hboots from alpharev.nl. Totally depends upon the ROM you want to use. Best to go to the ROM thread and see what the dev recommends.

Either you didn't read the whole topic, or you misunderstood it.
I will gain root and gain s-off, but I won't flash any Rom, I will let it run stock Sense 2.2, and those hboots are taken from the alpharev.nl site.

How do you think to run stock (which mean factory) 2.2 on custom hboot? Do you know that it requires 250mb system partition to run?
Different thing is if you want custom 2.2 made from the official stock ruu, that could be found.

I did'nt know, I thought that was possible?
So you can only change hboot if your running a custom rom?
Yes, cause stock OS, or rom, requires 250mb system partition (it's somewhere around 242-243mb leaving 7-8mb of free space). If youre up to extension of memory, choose some custom rom that fits cm7r2 hboot image and flash both.
Ohh okay.
What is the most stable custom rom with sense?
Maybe some Sense 3.0
