I am using HTC desire, i had RC mix S v1.5 custom rom running on it.
the problem i face is i dont have enough internal storage to install apps or upload facebook picture.
Here i list out my HBOOT
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT - 0.00.0000
MICROP - 031d
TOUCH PANEL - SYNT0101
RADIO - 5.09.05.30.2
Can anyone help me to gain more internal storage ?
How to i change to Cm-7 HBOOT ??
You need:
a) S-Off -> alpharev.nl
b) flash a new hboot with fastboot
have a look at the alpharev page; it's quite easy to do
Other possibility for you:
try to move apps (and probably cache) to sd-ext

Plus, once s-off, you can delete any rom apps that you don't use, freeing up space!
I did s-off before...i think i mix up, can provide me tutorial for this ?
I download the hboot utility and burn into cd boot up with computer, but the process stuck...i wonder if there any problem or wrong hboot ?
I running a stable rcmix s v1.5 rom.

A few days ago a mate of mine employed me to help him root his new toy. After doing mine multiple times (for various reasons) it was supposed to a piece of cake.
My method (I may have missed a point or two but you get the main idea):
1. Unrevoked
2. Install Titanium Backup, full backup
3. Copy entire SD contents
4. Install Rom Manager / Partition SD Card
5. Copy rom over to SD Card and install
6. Upgrade radio
7. From rom restore stuffs and go nuts
(optional but wanted to do)
8. S-OFF via bootable USB stick
Anyway turns out almost every step of the way was hampered because of new hardware. Here's the HBoot screen details:
BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.93.0001

For anyone else that has a desire with these specs please save yourself a lot of time and "oh ****" moments and know the following:
- Clockwork recovery will not work, you need to flash ArmonRa via the SDK with fastboot.exe OR via Unrevoked, before plugging in your phone go File > Choose alternate recovery and link it to AmonRa which you downloaded.
- Rom manager will not work (as it relies on ClockworkRecovery)
- SD Card partitioning and Upgrading to EXT3 needs to be done in AmonRa Recovery.
- Current S-OFF methods will not work and will send black lines across your HTC Boot splash screen. S-OFF tool reports failure at step 3. Ripping the battery and then restoring via recovery is the only fix.
Cheers.

Sounds bad...But it should not take much time till there is a working solution for this
i have that type of desire.
and i have encounter no problem on rooting unrevoked /s-off with alphaville 1.5
i have used various roms (auraXsense and hd roms Rcmix, ownhere dhd)
used amonra and clockmodwork....at least 30 times
i have used 3,4 radio versions and upgraded to the latest 5.11.05.27
everything works and stable with richard v5f kernel and rcmix 14 + set cpu....
and they are working.
it is exactly your specification
except that now mine is S-off.
spec seems the same except
Bravo Pvt3 ship S-off but maybe is from the s-off procedure
Aug 102010 17:52:18
microp 051d
really i do not know if it was before pvt4 or what pvt3/4 means...
anyway i want to know considering maybe i will encounter future desire and maybe you are right... and it is possible that they are not working.
you cold try a Ruu update and try again the all process maybe something went wrong somewhere
You not seen the rather LARGE thread in General about this??
I have the same specs on my Desire and the latest clockwork(2.5.1.2) works. I'm not S-Off.
I flashed 6-7 roms with no problems.
I didn't use RomManager,so I don't know, but partitioned the sd card from recovery, under advanced options with no problems.
Only happens on some PVT4 devices (two different types), and there is already a thread about this.
My PVT4 has clockwork, S-OFF, root, custom splash1, etc.

Yea there is definitely a new model i have the same problems. Clockwork Recovery dont work only Amon Ra and Alpharev dont work either. Stops at step 3 everytime saying:
"Could not push the initial files during step 1. this is most likely a permissions error on your data partition.
We have tried our best to circumvent this, but most likely your ROM is either not rooted properly, causing failure.
Your best option is to backup everything, and flash a custom ROM that is properly rooted and has ADB root.
Remember: your HBOOT is NOT S-OFF, and it is not bricked."
got a new desire (finally)
first thing i did was work out what version i had (yes i'm really noob!!)
Bravo is the 'normal' Desire which HAS a SIM card to work
BravoC is the CDMA Desire which is locked to a single provider and DOES NOT have a SIM card
Next i thought i'd flash a new ROM on my new Bravo
found the best guide IMO here:-
http://theunlockr.com/2011/08/02/ho...-android-phone-using-the-revolutionary-method
I say this is the best guide as all can be done in windows without boot into linux shells and burning ISO's etc & there's a you tube vid to watch as you do it!
best guide here if you happy to burn images and linux shells also ROM types explained really well here too...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016084
I followed all steps apart from the last (optional ROM) with theunlockr guide.
then i used ROM MANGER App to install my 1st ROM - as this seemed the best and safest idea. This works well if you know what ROM type you want (refer to xda noob guide).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psmI8KmBNeY
WATCH this vid!!! helps you understand terms etc too.
All was well until I decided i wanted a ROM that requires HBOOT changes lol. so ROM MANAGER isnt the way to go although i still use it to update clockwork recovery.
HBOOT versions - jeez... a minefield...
CM7 Hboot 130MB System, 5MB Cache, 302MB Data
CM7r2 Hboot 145MB System, 5MB Cache, 287MB Data
DATA++ Hboot 180MB System, 5MB Cache, 252MB Data
STOCK Hboot 250MB System, 40MB Cache, 147MB Data
ALL AVAIL (and more) HERE :-
http://alpharev.nl/
being lazy (lol) and alpha rev needs a linux boot shell, burn an image blah blah i used flashbootcommander to flash HBOOT images straight from windows 7...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193915
You need java runtimes & a for recovery HBOOT image from here:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=839640
reboot your phone in HBOOT (vol down & press pwr) plug into PC, run the FastbootCommanderV.1.51.jar
click on HBOOT/SPL button and select the HBOOT you want to use
click on RECOVERY button and select the recovery-bravo-3.0.0.5-r3.img you downloaded from above link)
click on FLASH SPL
click on FLASH RECOVERY
reboot phone!
all was well with my CM7r2 flashed hboot (press vol & pwr and its there in PINK which you have currently installed) untill i found a rom that requires CM7 hboot, you will get an error in fastbootcommander if you try to flash cm7 over cm7r2 so to perform a downgrade flash 'bravo_downgrade.img' from alpharev! first then flash cm7
CLOCKWORK RECOVERY use/features here:-
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...-and-how-to-use-it-on-android-complete-guide/
the only prob i had with it was to remember to use the trackball thing on phone rather than volume/pwr button for navigation and then clicking it can be used to enter/launch the selection lol
anyways hope this is some help to other noobs - basically if you want easy ROM changes use ROMMANAGER, if you want newer xda ROMs then be happy with flashing HBOOT.

when is xxxxda cuming!?
I start this thread because i didn't find anywhere in Desire HD forum a analysis about Hboot upgrade.
I am currently have HBOOT-0.85.0024 Eng S-OFF and PVT SHIP S-OFF and i wondering:
1) Can I upgrade to HBOOT-2.00.0027 and still have Eng S-OFF and PVT SHIP S-OFF?
2) Will be affected in any way the ROM that i have already installed?
3) Which are the improvements that were added in the newer version (HBOOT-2.00.0027)?
4) How to make the upgrade without many headaches and without running the RUU?
I have attached the HBOOT that i extracted from the final RUU: RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_WWE_3.12.405.1_Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_225512_signed.exe
Eng s off is gained from having a certain hboot. If you change it you will probably lose eng s off unless the hboot version you switch to is eng s off. I'm pretty sure though that the one you have is the only eng s off version, I could be wrong though there may be other hboots with eng s off. I do know the one you are thinking about upgrading to is not eng s off though.

1) if you upgrade your hboot you will loose eng s-off and just have Ship S-Off (aka radio s-off)
2 & 3) not really, but you will need to re-format your cache partition in recovery (to either ext3 or ext4.. whichever your rom is using) as the cache size has been increased by 100mb for use with sense 3. So bonus if you're already running a sense 3 or 3.5 rom.
4) Take the rom.zip from the ruu, use winrar to extract it into a folder. delete the img's and the spash.nb0's (if you want to flash the newest radio, dont delete radio.img). Once you've removed the useless junk, and just have the text, the hboot, and optionally the radio, select them all, right click and 'add to archive' (should have this option if you have winrar installed). name it PD98IMG, and make it a zip, not a rar. Move it to your sd card. power off with fastboot disabled, and then vol- and power to get into the bootloader. when it asks, volume up to commence the update.
Again, dont forget to go into recovery after to reformat your cache partition, as this will leave it raw and unuseable until its formatted.
Rooted my desire way last year and have enjoyed using a number of roms since...
Yesterday I quick look at a couple of the ICS roms, which were nice but clearly not ready for primetime, so started to look at a more recently update gb rom to replace the update-oxygen-2.3.2-Bravo-signed.zip that I've been using.
The MildWild V-3.0 xperia Launcher & MildWild V-3.0A Launcher2 look liked a decent bet, but of course failed as I hadnt read through the whole post and failed to take into account "do a clean installing and please keep in mind the ROM is to big for the oxygen hboot use CM7r2 Hboot"
What is the process for updating the HBOOT?
Here is the steps I taken so far, but without much sucess
Jumped over to http://alpharev.nl/ and followed the precess there, booting into fastboot I now see:
--- AlphaRev ---
BRAVO PVT3 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-0.93.0001
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101

So I'm assuming that this is done correctly and I just have to now grab the required HOOT files and update - this is where I get a little lost
I have grabbed bravo_alphaspl-cm7r2.img.zip & PB99IMG_cm7r2.zip
renaming PB99IMG_cm7r2.zip to PB99IMG.zip, drop onto sdcard and started the phone in HBOOT to flash the HBOOT, but this gives me
CID incorrect!
Update Fail
Have doubled checked using a file manager that the isnt named PB99IMG.zip.zip as some suggest
and have tried to follow this post here but am at a complete loss with it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14668785&postcount=2575
installed the HTC USB Drivers
Installed the Android SDK Manager and have the Google USB Driver package, Android SDK & Platform Tools installed...
then boot into BOOTLOADER, connect phone... and ... no idea, not sure what my PC is supposed to do or if there is a console I can open must have missed something as I just cant seem to workout "Then you boot your phone into bootloader, connect it to your pc and select the downloaded hboot-drivers."
Am sure there is something just outta reach, any help appreciated
You're on the stock sized hboot, so you dont actually NEED to change it for any of these ROMS.
Best bet is using fastboot flash from your PC IMHO. Flash the .img file. Read the adb and fastboot faq in my signature (Skipping the ADB bit as this is nto relevant here)
Okay - i bet since my question is too easy to solve i will get facepalmed soon
So what am i using:
HTC DESIRE SLCD / S-OFF / Rooted / 32gb class 10 SD card (Samsung)
4EXT touch Recovery
Runnymede_AIO_V6.0.4.1_Special_Edition + ad2sdx-1.0-RC01
Whats my Problem:
Low internal memory even if there are 1,2 gb of free space ( apps start crashing / default browser wont open due to lack of internal memory... everything else works perfect)
The Problem doesnt appear instantly after flashing and installing.
So what i did:
1. looked in the FAQ from Runnymede Thread and used a cache cleaner
2. installing the ROM few more times
But it didn't help - thats why i am here
I guess i am making a mistake while installing the Rom
www10.pic-upload.de/03.03.12/wve62nma9g9z.jpg
(cant post img or links because i am new here - tell me if it doesnt work)
because i cant select this option - i guess thats where I go wrong?
maybe its the wrong ROM I downloaded?
I cant help myself somehow.. thats why i am here
(i spent about 1 week trying everything that comes to my mind but it didnt help)
Thx 4 all work you have done and your support!
if this works out i am going to donate 10€
What is your hboot ? I guess it is stock hboot.
It should be at least CM7r2 in order ad2sdx to work properly as it needs a bigger data partition sise to mount as sd-ext. Your actual sd-ext will be mounted as data partition.
I can't open www10.pic-upload.de/03.03.12/wve62nma9g9z.jpg to see what it is.
Yeah i have HBOOT 0.93.0001
okay gonna try fix that and then report my result
im having the same problem with my installation
i have the hboot from alpharev
the info is as follows
bravo pvt1 ship s-off
hboot- 0.93.0001
micicrop-031d
touch panel-synt0101
radio-5.17.05.23
aug 10 2010 17:52:18
and i have the same exact issue, i set my ext4 to abt 1.6gb and i cant get access to it at all
Alpharev made several HBOOTs, if you want to use AD2SDX make sure you flashed Bravo CM7 r2, you'll find it on their homepage.
I guess you guys both are currently using Bravo Stock HBOOT.
You can find out which HBOOT you are using (just to make sure) go into fastboot mode and look for the text in the pink box above the "BRAVO PVT xyz..."
Ok here we go again
I flashed Bravo CM7 r2 from alpharev.nl yesterday et voila - i had the ad2sdx option in the aroma installer.
(I had a screenshot on the the link nobody can see where it was missing)
Now the phone is working about 12 hours without any memory problems - of course it needed some time to settle down in the beginning, but that was mentioned in the runnymede threads before.
But i am still asking myself if i did too much now because...
I flashed Runnymede V6.0.4.1 with ad2sdx
Afterwards I immediately flashed ad2sdx-1.0-RC01 (amarullz)
Then i went for the Sense 3.5 Kernel from Droidzone
I bet i just needed to flash Runnymede since it comes with its own kernel (?) and has build-in ad2sdx?
Thx guys
Btw. kevearc how are you doin?
ad2sdx: You flashed the same thing twice, if you ckeck ad2sdx in the AROMA Installer, it will already be flashed automatically.
Kernel: The ROM comes with a build in Kernel by Droidzone, but you can flash newer ones.
Ahh btw.
I am looking for the sticky notes widget from stock ROM from android 2.2.
Just the one where you can draw/write and delete.
I dont need any memo or synchronisation and stuff.
So i looked " htc desire stock rom zip " to get the apk
or for " htc desire sticky notes " but didnt get what i was looking for.
I also tried to start the RUU installer and get the ROM.zip out of my temp folder but i didnt find it ( either in normal temp or windows\temp ).
Any idea? or is there a secret database hidden ?
Look at my signature..!

ok i guess, could u guide me as to how to perform the same procudere on my phone as u did yours?
i think my problem is that i didnt flash the Bravo cm7 thingy, lol
at the top of my bootloader screen, mine just says Alpharev in purple text
@kevearc: That means you are using Alpharev Stock HBOOT, go to their site and flash CM7r2. Instructions are given there.
@veljin: The easiest was to find the folder is to run ruu, open task manager, right-click adb.exe and select "open path" or something like that.
If you want to save time, just download the old Widget here

'or is there somthing else i need to do?
@WoH - thx :3
@kevearc
( only works with S-OFF !)
1. Download the Zip from Alpharev called PB99IMG_cm7r2.zip
2. Rename it to PB99IMG.zip
3. Put it on your SD Card
4. Start Bootloader with Power + Vol down
5. messages comes with " do you want to flash this blabla " -> go for it
6. delete File
7. Check if everything worked in the Bootloader Menu
8. Better reflash your ROM (maybe it works without that but i wont guarantee)

When you have CID error, you cannot update with sdcard procedure.
You need to flash it in fastboot mode or the easier way is search for Fastboot Commander and use this to flash the hboot.

thanx,
i tried tht, but FBC didnt detect the phone, even though i plugged it directly and the drivers are loaded
Did FbC / adb work before?
Maybe you could try to reinstall adb driver...
