I've waited for 2 hours each time but it still isn't S-OFF<
I've tried with USB and CD but both without succes.
Please can somebody help me.

Make sure you use a rom without a2sd or data2sd.
Also are you rooted?

You should head over to their IRC channel: #alpharev on Freenode.

So this one should not work?
InsertCoin 2.0.1 DATA2EXT (it's an HD rom)

No, no data2sd for sure.

you have to either flash a stock rom (without data2xxx or a2sd+) or run a RUU, root again and go s-off

As written on alpharev site, you should use a stock rooted Rom to apply s-off. During the s-off process your /data partition is used and should be save accessable. Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773997
1. make a Nandroid of your installed Rom.
2. Then flash the stock rooted one.
3. Reboot
4. Apply s-off
5. Revert your Nandroid
Done!

If it's any help I did s-off via CD and used oxygen rom - it took under 10 minutes for the whole thing. You can always change the rom after gaining s-off, although oxygen is a fantastic build!

Thanks everybody for reply so quick and for the help!!

[Q] HTC Screen after flashing Anything.

Rooted my desire yesterday S-offed and everything was working fine. I attempted to flash a custom Rom and now all I recieve in the HTC screen. I have tryed installing several roms and nothing works. I can get into the recovery with no issues. Just I cannot get into any roms. Any Magix fixes I can try? Or should I just Fastboot and start over?
Edit. Fastboot doesnt work. But I can get into the CWM Recovery. Which is also the newest version.

And you always followed installation guides for all roms carefully (like sd card) and flashed version that corresponds with your hboot?

Yup Followed everything. I have done this all on my incredible 100 times. So I am aware of the steps to get Roms going.

Wiped all user data?
I just had this briefly with a Desire PVT4, had forgotten to wipe all user data prior to flashnig ROM's...?

Naa. Everything was Whiped clean. Restore wont work either because of the MD5 sum being different?

Which hboot are you using?

Why doesn't fastboot work? Do you get any errors?

Fastboot just has the bootloader option. Nothing for going back to stock. And were on the Stock HBOOT.
Correction Fastboot works just I cannot use it to go to stock. Is there any quick way to get to the stock image?

You can just download the zip from alpha rev put it on the SD card (not in a folder) re name it as PB99IMG start your phone with power and volume down and it will ask you if you want install it. P.s sorry if you knew this lol

I didnt know that! I shall give it a try and update on here and thank you if it works. What is Alpha Rev? A Devoloper or something?

You basically they specialize in s off, and recovery images etc. What sort of ROMs are you using? Cm7r2 is best for most Roms on the desire atm

How could you S-OFF your phone without hearing from AlphaRev?

That is a good point? But suppose you could miss it, it isn't the same site.

[Q][closed] set up a ROM for cm7 /r2 HBOOT

Hi!
I am developing a ROM (port from HTC MyTouch 4g) for HTC desire. Now i want to set up the ROM for the stock HBOOT and cm7 r2, but i have no ideas, how to do that.
Can you help me?

How big is the rom firstly?

the folder is 317.0 mb and the .zip 243.4 mb

Forget the CM7 hboot initially. Concentrate on getting it to fit in stock.
This thread is a good start for you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=992176

so it isn't possible to run my rom under cm7/h2, just under stock hboot?

It is possible. But it will require a lot more stuff to be placed on the sd-ext partition. However, you should start by attempting to fit it into stock hboot and see if it works well before deciding to fit into another hboot.

thank you... i will try it first for stock hboot

S-OFF needed?

Hi all.
I'm all new to custom roms, rooting etc.
I just rooted my HTC Desire using unrevoked, and I want to flash the RunnyMede 4.5
Is it necessary to have S-OFF? I tried using alpharev hboot reflash utility, but it failed saying my phone wasn't supported or not recognized.
Best regards,
Yorba

Read the thread post, it will tell you what the requirements are

All important information are mostly written in the rom's thread.

I wouldn't bother as 4.5 has a few issues noted in the rom thread. I'd wait for 4.6

Okay, thank you for the heads-up.
I can't seem to find any information regarding S-Off in the rom thread though. In addition, I can post a reply on the thread because I'm new to this forum.

Also I was new to rooting and flashing until this summer. But I can strongly recommend alpharev's "AlphaRevX". This tool was extremly easy and quick to use. Have done S-off on 2 desire's with this tool without any promblems .

Wasn't alpharevX replaced by revolutionary?
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium

Would say so.

I actually had to use revolutionary before I could even root my phone. My hboot wasn't supported by unrevoked (1.06 I think). Revolutionary is a great tool.

My bad rootSU, Your'e right. It was!

asaik you do not need to be s-off to use runnymed. But you need the right partition table to run this rom right. If your are still at stock you need to use Bravo CM7 r2 - see alpharev[dot]nl/ (not allowed for me to post links yet)

You just contradicted yourself. In order to change to the cm7r2 partition table you must be s-off.
Swyped from my CM7.1 Desire using XDA Premium App

Thanks for correcting me - just forget the fact that s-off is required when changing partition table

You dont need to s-off if you dont want to. Just run chaqmols rom converter script after you flash the rom.
edit: i justed flashed v4.9 without the rom converter and on stock hboot. runs perfectly. about 1.4gb internal memory.

It would be alot easier just to s-off though.
Sent from my HTC Desire CDMA using XDA App

I got S-OFF which was very very easy and painless using Revolutionary!
I then flashed cm7r2 hboot and then Runnymede4.9, and everything is running smoothly!

Runnymede AIO V2.2 Xd2sdX for this you need to be s-off and using CM7/r2
Alex-V1.7 GB Sense HD ODEXED A2SD/DATA2EXT/Sense2.1+3.0+Mod/bravia Same again you need to be s-off
Droidzone has a 2.1 sense rom that work with stock Hboot.

Is there any way I can s-off except via linux?
What are the restrictions with s-on?
I'm still new to android world so please bear with me.

See my sig I used http://revolutionary.io/ 40 seconds to s-off, make sure htc sync isn't installed and you will need htc fastboot drivers http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/revolutionary
S-off gives you full root, so you can change Hboot to say cm7/r2 http://alpharev.nl/ witch give you more data, but allowing you to install data2ext and keeping dalvik cache on nand memory.
Just make sure you read into it.......you can brick your phone if you mess up.
