Hi guys I'm trying to s-off using alpharev ISO disc...it goes through the process then after rebooting stage 3 I get 4 lines that say unary operator expected ... I shut down pc and phone boots as usual...
I'm running rxmix s v1.1
maybe change to stock ROM and try s-off again
Yes like the post above switch to a ROOTED stock froyo rom worked for me, the reason your getting errors is because the rom you are running has probably got data2whatever, data++ ect... this affects the alpha rev process.
Ditto above. Alpharev doesn't work on a2sd or similar ROMs... Look back a couple pages and you'll see I started a thread with the same issue. I'm on IC GB a2sd+...
Once pc is repaired, I plan to load stock Telstra RUU and try again, then re-root...

First, you better use USB stick instead of a disc, it is faster a more reliable.
Secondly, you won't be able to get s-off unless you flash either stock rom or AOSP rom ( oxygen worked for me without any problems).

Happy to hear
Hi folks. Writing this without any hope that someone is online at the moment.
I'm currently using alpharev to flash HBOOT on my htc desire. It has stucked on step 3 with two lines on phone's screen:
Aplharev SPLBOOT version 2.0
...
Normal NAND detected. Non-PVT4
and keeps hanging like that nearly an hour already.
The phone is rooted, with Clockworkmod recovery and InserCoin 2.0.1 DATA2EXT ROM installed.
Did anybody have the same behaviour while flashing HBOOT?
Should I be patient and wait for some miracle to happen?
thanks in advance.
Are you S-Off already??
use the new S-OFF utility. It's a lot quicker and easier. Just make sure you uninstall HTC Sync, or at least make sure it isn't running.

try it with the new utility.. it should work for you..
finally I've restored my previous ROM (and sh*tted a pile of bricks during this hour).
HBOOT screen says that my device is still S-ON. strange... maybe that's because of 'DATA2EXT' ROM onboard.

You won't be able to alter HBoot without S-Off...
I am not sure how the new Utility that bortak linked to works, but I know that the "old" alpharev will not S-Off if you are using A2SD/D2SD/D2EXT type ROMs. You will need to flash stock RUU (do not use latest GB update RUU!!!), or one of the AOSP ROMs, such as Oxygen, before proceeding.
Once you have S-Off, you can go back and re-root, then upgrade your HBoot etc.

I'm still wondering, why TUT-makers didn't mention this A2SD/D2SD/D2EXT ROMs inconsistency.
I think this should be written in large letters on the first line for noobs like me
Lol, you're right on that!!
If you look on alpharev site, it is mentioned in the text, but VERY small!
Requirements:
The only requirement right now is that the ROM you're running is rooted.
As techniques such as 'data2ext' have been popping up, these might disturb our finely-tuned flashing process.
Please revert to a rooted stock ROM if possible. Your /data partition is used for temporary storage of important files.

I missed it the first time also, had lots of dramas, and finally spotted that note after many frustrating hours. It should have been written in bright red, 72 cap at the top of screen!!
You need to use an a2sd Rom like lee Droid 2.5.
Alpha rev state this at start of web page using data2sd can cause problems.
Flash lee Droid 2.5 and try it again, you should be fine
Kind regards

i have installed the gingerbread keyboard file on my sd card and have rooted my phone using the visonary method but now i cant seem to get into recovery mode. I have rom manager installed and have flashed clockwork recovery mode. it said that it had sucsessfully installed.
I then flashed it again as i read somewhere that i might need to do it twice as sometimes it dosent work.
when i now click on the recovery option in rom manager all i get is the red triange with the ! in the middle.
any ideas what im doing wrong?
Have tried reading the threads but with 30 plus pages i am now completley confused
Sounds like you don't have S-OFF. What does it say in HBOOT (e.g. hold down volume down and the power button with the phone powered off) ?

It's a bit confusing because there is more than one way to do this. But by far the safest way is to follow the guide at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857390
Have a good read, then if you're not sure, ask questions in that thread on the process.

I didn't think you could flash recovery without S-OFF though ? Surely ROM Manager doesn't have the ability to write to the NAND, since the write protection will be on if you're at S-ON ?

Again. S-OFF is a different issue altogether. Being able to write to NAND is a part of the rooting process. Setting security off is not a part of the rooting process. It's a totally different process for a totally different purpose. The caveat would be if unrevoked has been revised to full root and set S-OFF during the same process. I haven't used it in awhile so on that point, I'm not certain.

Sorry but that's not right for the DZ/G2. I wonder if you're thinking of how it works on a different Android phone ? The security has been increased on the DZ/G2/DHD compared to, say, the original Desire.
Writing to the system and recovery partitions isn't possible until you get S-OFF. This has nothing to do with rooting, it it because of the increased security on these phones where the NAND is in a hardware write-protect mode for those partitions by default. You can appear to write to the partitions, but it's actually going to cache and is lost when you reboot, until you get S-OFF.

Actually yes. S-OFF on the EVO is to make sure no matter what, you're always rooted. It came about after the new stock flash would unroot the phone. With S-OFF active, you can flash any stock rom and not lose root. All you would need to do is reflash RA or Clockwork to get back to recovery and flash roms again. Unrevoked forever is the program we used to change the security setting.
So. That is only true for the EVO?

yeah I think so.
The new HTC Desire Z and HD had "better" security from htc, basically you can't write anything to nand (/system) until you perma rooted, even then some things such as recovery needed s-off before we could write to that partition.
im going to have to give up on this
i have tried to follow the guide to get s-off but i find it too complicated. I have my phone rooted with visionary but i think thats as far as im going to get.
tried to install the adb thing and get that working but it never recognises the phone. when i remove the drivers and plug it back in then windows automatically installs the drivers again so i never have the option to manually instll them.
this is just becoming a nightmare
someone make it simple for me please....the thread is pages and pages long and even then it seems there are problems

Have you tried my guide on adb ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865685
OK, I can use some help too
I have a DZ with stock ROM, root and s-off and CWR.
In my enthusiasm that I knew how to flash rom updates with clockwork (I am running the Godspeed 1Ghz) I downloaded the Gingerbread keyboard rom update from the G2 forum. I think I jumped off a bit too fast...
And now I am stuck in an infinite boot loop. I can get into Clockwork recovery but it just loops the "HTC Quietly Brilliant" forever including the annoying boot sound...
I tried some suggestions to download and reflash a second time, no effect.
I tried to mount /system before flashing, no effect.
Am I forced to go back to factory now?
Also, I found 2 gingerbread keyboards, one in the G2 forum and one over here.
Anyone know what the difference is? They have a different filesize..
Any help is welcome...
*edit*
OK so now I read that it is only to be flashed on a non-stock ROM... so I am now flashing Cyanogen 6.1
try wiping all the caches...

S'alright.
HTC really ramped up the security on these new phones, as Lenny said, with this hardware write-protection on certain partitions. But even given that, I was amazed by just how quickly the guys on the #G2ROOT IRC channel, especially Scotty2, managed to crack it !
It also looks like they've opened the phone even wider than many others before, with the "true" radio S-OFF that they achieved.
You can read up all about it in the Wiki - http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision
OK, I know I am lining up for a flaming here, but I need some help. I have done as much searching and reading as I can handle and am even more confused.
I have dl'd and burnt alpharev.iso to disc and booted from it. I connect phone when I read "Waiting for your device" and then proceed.
Step 1 of pushing necessary files completes, then I get "waiting for bootloader...OK!". Once phone has booted (twice...??), I get the following-
hub2-0:0-1 unable to enumerate device on port(x)
Then "preparing for H-Boot flash...Done!" and back to bootloader. Then step 3, and reboot (twice) followed by same error report as above.
Finally, I see lines of
/home/htc/alpharev.sh:line331:[:-enq:unary operator expected
Then phone reboots into ROM.
Looking at HBoot, I still see S-On and clearly the phone is not bricked...thankfully. I think I am getting an error thru my USB port, but changing to different ports just gives me a different number at (x) in the error report, with the same end result...
Any help would be great. Cheers.
Sometimes, when you try S-Off.... you will always see S-on in the menu. Sometimes it doesn't mean anything. Alpha Rev, if I remember from the old days, only changes the Bootloader.
But, if you saw the Heath Ledger Joker when you boot after Alpha Rev, you are S-Off.
With other programs, you need to try and replace the spash1 for example, through adb, to know if you have S-Off.
Ohhhhh somebody correct me if I'm wrong...
Thanks for the reply... I got no Joker at the end, which is why I was pretty sure the process hadn't worked...
Will try again today. Maybe with a different method...
I had exactly the same issue (I had SuperNova rom installed with Data2SD) i had then installed the new Oxygen 2.1 (no Apps2SD/Data2SD this time though) and gave it a try again on the off chance.
This time it worked a treat

I had a different issue when trying to s-off - the utility wouldn't recognise my device on rooted stock rom after I created a goldcard - I too flashed oxygen and it worked first time!!
Maybe a thought. You can switch back to whatever other rom after you s-off.

No coincidence. You will always have trouble on a Sense based ROM using AlphaRev. I think it has something to do with the relationship between the stock HBOOT and the boot.img on the \boot partition of the phone (but I am not sure about that)
One thing I can tell you for sure is that if you flash to any AOSP ROM (CyanogenMod, Oxygen etc) then do the AlphaRev S-OFF process and you will have success.
Happy S-OFFING!

droidzone is right. Just flash stock rooted rom and then try to s-off. I bet it'll work. Had same problem as you.

you may have read it, but i don't think you have read it enough times to understand it. sections 1 and 2 are the most useful
many people, including myself, have used that guide to install the rom completely from scratch with no prior knowledge.
when i said wrong version i meant the A2SD or data++ version of the ROM. from your info i believe you are s-off with stock hboot, but have installed the data++ version of the rom. there are sections within the FAQ which deal with this.
Ok: I think I know what the problem is - I need another version of this page hboot alpharev.nl And here I have another problem because never changed the hboot. LeeDroid previously used in version 2.5 and then it removed the s-off, and installed the recovery RA-Desire-2.0 and then the number of hboot has changed itself. So, I have a few question:
The installation of a new installation hboot is otherwise recovery? after the surgery I will have further RA-Desire-2.0 or AlphaRev? AlphaRev or during installation can damage the phone? whether this process can be reversed?
Also never installed a radio, or is it necessary?
I know a lot of questions but most importantly for me, it does not damage the phone. And sorry fom my english.
you're going to have to read the FAQ main sections a few more times

you should have installed either:

they can damage only if you flash a corrupted hboot file. therefore make sure you verify the md5 sums of the hboot img given on alpharev.nl. (search google for what md5 sums are, and then use a program called md5check)
this process can be reversed, deal with that later if/when you need to.

nobody wants to damage their phone, which is why guides like this FAQ were written in the first place. all the steps, links and troubleshooting tips are given there. the fact that i'm referencing sections out of it proves that you haven't really read or understood it.
I installed this rom a while ago, and kept reading it many many times before attempting anything, please do the same. once you do that:
- you will install everything successfully
- you'll have enough space for apps
- most importantly, hopefully you'll understand what you have actually done, and where all your apps, data and dalvik are stored...
good luck!

a) installation LeeDroid HD 3.3.3 GB-Port-R5 Data and AlphaRev?
b) or installation LeeDroid HD 3.3.3 GB-Port-R5 A2SD and fix Move-Dalvik-to-sdext?
What would you choose?
I read already the differences and I do not know which is better/fast
2. If I chose options (1a) and installed AlphaRev I must install LeeDroid HD 3.3.3 GB-Port-R5 Data again?
3. On the alpha site is written:
"If you downloaded Bravo Data++, please notice the /cache partition is too small to hold Radio flashes from recovery. You can however flash the radio just fine with 'fastboot flash radio radio.img'."
So, if I chose the option (1a), I must to install another radio?

you've got this far, you might as well change hboot and install data++ version, you get more space for apps. keep dalvik on nand first, then if you start to run out of space you can flash the dalvik2sd script.
(just a note, you don't 'install Alpharev', you're going to flash cm7r2 hboot)

it's just saying that if you want to flash another radio and you have cm7r2 hboot, you cannot flash it from recovery, you must change it using fastboot commands (a different topic).
read sections 2.8 and 1.4 (again...)
going round in circles a bit...but you'll get there eventually.
keep reading, i remember being a little scared of going through it all, but it all worked out fine in the end
If your radio works best bet is just leave it alone. If its relatively recent (second bit starts with _5 at least!) it'll probably be fine.

Ok guys, thank you all for your help.
I did finally everything works as it should, but I am not happy with the camera. In carrying out photo in the room, the whole picture comes out very dark, enough with the lens sees a piece of window. Horrible! Photo using the lamps are identical. There is no difference. I've noticed that a Gingerbread has the process com.android.camera.apk in version 3.0, but a Froyo has the process com.android.camera.apk in version 2.0, but version 2.0 does not work on Gingerbread (I checked). So I do not want such thing.
So now I'm looking for another ROM. I have to find one that has HTC Sense and leave in peace my Radio. I wonder whether is Android 4.0 with HTC sense on Desire.
Suggestions?
If I found nothing, today evening I'm going back to the wersion 2.5 of LeeDroid.

I did finally everything works as it should, but I am not happy with the camera. In carrying out photo in the room, the whole picture comes out very dark, enough with the lens sees a piece of window. Horrible! Photo using the lamps are identical. There is no difference. I've noticed that a Gingerbread has the process com.android.camera.apk in version 3.0, but a Froyo has the process com.android.camera.apk in version 2.0, but version 2.0 does not work on Gingerbread (I checked). So I do not want such thing.

hah after all that. shame about the camera. i don't remember it being that bad though. tried a 3rd party app? or does your lens just need a good clean?

Suggestions?

many other sense roms for you to browse through.
remember leedroid 2.5 will not fit on cm7r2 hboot, so you have to change back to stock hboot before restoring.
I have a Desire Bravo (A8181)
I installed Gingerbread 2.3.3 using the file from the HTC site.
I am not happy with it ( spontaneous reboots, drains battery, other crazy stuff)
I don't want to root so I'd just like to go back to 2.2
Can someone link to a procedure to get back to 2.2.
People are using Official 2.3.3 mostly as a troubleshooting tool or for warranty purpose.
However you cant downgrade it by RUU to lower version. The RUU will not proceed giving version problems.
The only way would be to SOFF using revolutionary and thereafter if you really want FROYO you can choose from many of the stock offerings available at Desire Development section.
My phone is not rooted
Is there anything else to do, besides SOFF and getting FROYO. Do I have to root the phone?

You dont have to root the phone if you use revolutionary. But definitely will have to go SOFF. If you are worried because of brick possibility then you must know that with Android 2.3.3 the way to root is via SOFF. Actually with revolutionary SOFF is the main thing. After that you can flash a rooted rom from recovery if you want which is a low risk activity.
I would personally recommend Mildwild 5.0 based on CM7.2 as one of the most stable rom.
OK thanks
Can I use this wiki?
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Desire_(GSM):_Full_Update_Guide
I think it is what you are talking about except it links to cyanogen mods, why is mildwild better than cyanogen?
Also I just went tinto bootloader and see I already have S-OFF
"BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-OFF"
I don't know how this happened, do I still do S-OFF and install custom recovery image?

NO need to s-off if u r s-off, get 4ext recovery updater apk install it, run it, now u will have the latest recovery.
now u can pretty much put what ever rom u want on.
Just read instructions in the thread the rom came from and remember to NANDROID BACKUP as soon as u install the recovery.
I did manage to install Mildwild ( I couldn't get 4ext to install so I re did the s-off, rooted and installed Mildwild 5)
Thank you very much for the advice.
I still get spontaneous shutdown of my phone so I have to research this problem.

I think that comes from your device being a PVT1. These type of desires are known to reboot when overheating due to a motherboard problem.
Sent from my toaster
unlock the bootloader, flash a clockworkmod recovery and flash an android 2.2 rom. i think that is the easiest way.

I just ordered an original battery from HTC, if I can't find a software fix to 2.3.7 and if the new battery doesn't work then I will go back to 2.2.
But I think that because I used the official RUU from HTC for 2.3, then I have to use a custom ROM for 2.2. If I am wrong then please tell me, after all these problems I would use an official 2.2 ROM if it would make my problems go away.

The key is you still get spontaneous reboots. That means it is not related to ROM.
I agree with the assessment of abaa.... Your problem seems to be hardware related and nothing you can do other than replace motherboard. However if you want to rule out battery problems just keep it connected to charger and play a heavy game. If it reboots then your motherboard problem is confirmed.
The problem is shut down.
I haven't had rebooots
But I'll try heavy gaming while plugged in
I have a bit of good news, I think
I have made some changes to user options, according to some suggestions I found and have some good results.
After my changes, In 6 days I have had only one freeze ( where the phone was asleep and only a battery pull could fix the problem).
Before the changes I had 4-8 freezes each day, for a few weeks.
I will do some more testing but i think it is because of one of two reasons. Either because I swithced to "GSM only" from "GSM/WCDMA ( WCDMA prefered)" Or because I selected " Use only 2G networks"
I'll play around for a week or two but that is my interim result.
Hi guys,
I´ve got a stock Desire with Android 2.2.2. (OTA update some two years ago). Some days ago I noticed my camera was not working nor did the flashlight app. After turning off and on the device a couple of times the flashlight started working again but not the camera. Trying to fix what I thought might be a software problem I went into Hboot menu and into recovery and selected reboot. Nothing seemed to have changed until i noticed my battery was only lasting for 4 or 5 hours when it used to last at least 1,5 days. Also, I just noticed my 3G mobile network connection is not working either.
How may I correct this? I've already tried a factory reset but without success. I was just looking at an youtube video from a XDA member about flashing RUU's and thought that it might do it. Is there a difference between flashing a RUU and a factory reset? I'm not very confortable doing it as I've never rooted or flashed any device, but I'm willing to take the chance...
Thanks for your support...
Flashing a ruu is basically reinstalling the stock firmware. Factory resetting is just wiping the data on the phone.
If you want to flash a ruu, check my sig. Download the 2.3 ruu. Don't change the zip name. Take the zip and put it on the root of your sd-card, and boot in hboot. Then select "yes" and wait.
This will upgrade your firmware to Android 2.3.3, which is faster than froyo, but it will wipe all your internal data.
merante ridicule
Thank you for your reply.
Now it´s clearer to me. Factory reset doesn't correct any system issues.
I already found the RUU i currently have on my phone, but maybe I could upgrade to 2.3. Does the RUU in your sig work for my Desire?
My data are:
Andriod version: 2.2.2.
Baseband: 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
Kernel: 2.6.32.15-gfa401c
Software number: 2.29.405.14
Just a small update concerning the battery issue: it seems to be the battery itself which is the problem. I installed a new one last night and now battery behaviour is back to normal. I will try the old one again though, in order to be sure it's gone.
The ruu in my sig works for your desire. It actually works for almost every Bravo on the market.
Thank you once again.
I just managed to correct my 3G problem also. I didn't restore the network definitions after the factory reset (didn't know I had to or how it is done ), but after a quick call to tech support it is fixed.
Now I will probably give the RUU update a try and also root and s-off (must resaerch a little more - XDA forum has tones of good info :good...
In my sig, there's a Desire All Root guide. Check it out.

Hi, some developments and more help needed
Followed the guides above and now my Desire is rooted, s-offed using revolutionary and 4ext recovery is installed and I've partitioned my new 32 GB sdcard with 2GB ext4. Sadly, I've not updated to android 2.3.3 with the PB99IMG RUU, so I'm still with the 2.2.2.
But, even after sd partition, my available internal memory has not increased. What do I have to do to install all new apps on the sd?
If I update now for 2.3.3. using PB99IMG will I lose root and s-off? If I have to flash a new rom, which do you suggest? I'm used to the stock htc sense and don't really want to upgrade unless I have to.
I would really appreciate any suggestions...
Tks.
Don't use the RUU. You will lose root and s-off. Just install a custom rom, and your storage will increase.

Could you please suggest a stable rom based on gingerbread with htc sense (early versions prefered) and also point out a detailed noob friendly tutoorial for flashing roms? I must do some more research but if you could point me out in the right direction it would be very useful
Sorry to be such a pain in the a**, but I'm just getting started in the rom world and not very tech inclined also...
Tks.
