Currently have the Modaco R3 ROM which i installed a while ago but now looking to install the Modaco Froyo ROM.
When i first changed the ROM, it was done via this way, http://nimbu.amorvi.com/2010/05/how-to-root-your-htc-desire/
But i have now been told that i can safely do it via ROM manager. Is this correct?
Here is a link to it, http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/0...d-phone-with-rom-manager-full-backup-restore/
I presume i just copy the ROM file to the SD and select it via ROM manager? Also is it ok if i untick WIPE DATA AND CACHE as i dont want to loose anything?
thanks
Think i may have found my answer, http://nimbu.amorvi.com/2010/07/how-to-upgrade-your-desire-to-stock-android-2-2-froyo/
The only question is in that guide, the radio is also flashed, do i have to do this?

If the ROM you want to install uses a higher version of the radio you have installed, you should also flash it in order to fully enjoy your new ROM without problems.
You can check which version of radio you have by turning on the HTC using the power and volume - buttons at the same time.
Thanks, all sorted now. Used ROM manager which was really easy.
Hi,
I have done some extensive reading.. but still remain confused.. All i want to do is be able to install a custom rom and a new radio if reqd. Warning: I am coming from WinMo.
So as I understand it correctly, my steps would be (in the order):
1. Perm root it using Visionary+ << is this like an HSPL?
2. Use Easy S-OFF tool << What does this do?
3. Download ROM manager from the market and install it completely << Is this the Rom Update Utility
What is clockwork recovery?
Is this all?
Another question, is my phone still bootable after 1st step? and then after the 2nd step?
Can I just flash another custom rom on top of a ROM?
I read somewhere about a Wipe tool.. is this like a task 29?
Does flashing a stock removes all the permroots and s-off or is this like an HSPL that stays no matter what one flashes?
Is there somewhere in this jungle of thread a step by step procedure to hack into the DHD to install custom roms..

Hi there.
I am new to android as well. You seam to have the basics
1- No this roots your device, so you can gain accsess to protected system files. Dont forget to temproot before permroot.
2 - There are two versions of this. ENG hboot and radio s-off. ENG Hboot is a engineering hboot that gives the ability to flash custom roms and see some system properties, this is removed by flashing a stock ruu. Radio s-off (security off) also allows the flashing of custom roms and is not removed by flashing stock ruu, this can be removed by re-running the tool.
3- Rom manager installs the clockwork mod for recovery, it is also able to flash and manage roms.
Your phone will be fine after step one and two.
My knowledge is limited, but i hope that helps.
Happy flashing
Many thanks man... so i guess Soff is a better tool, as I may want to flash a stock once in a while and that means with S-off i will still have the hack in place..
I will wait for some more ppl to give me some inputs
Merry Christmas & welcome to Android,
Coming from WinMo (HTC Kaiser) to Android (HTC Hero) many moons ago I had the same questions.
original_ganjaman has pretty much hit the nail on the head with his post.
1. Perm root it using Visionary+ << is this like an HSPL?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
By default & for users protection root access to the Android system is not enabled, Visionary+ enables this. No HSPL is more like S-OFF (from memory) HSPL allows users to flash custom/unsigned ROM's.
2. Use Easy S-OFF tool << What does this do?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The DHD employs a system of protection to protect the System Files & Recovery Partition from being overwritten. With this protection enabled a device is known as S-ON (Security On). To write to the system files & recovery partition we need S-OFF. The Easy S-OFF tool simply runs a set of commands to turn Security Off (S-OFF).
3. Download ROM manager from the market and install it completely << Is this the Rom Update Utility
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
ROM Manager allows you to install Clockwork Mod Recovery, this is essential to flashing custom ROM's. Some users report that it doesn't work on first attempt, so you may need to flash recovery twice. Its very simple as its the first selection within ROM Manager. RUU's are standalone installers that can be installed simply by connecting your DHD to your computer (ensure all drivers are installed) and running the RUU.exe.
What is clockwork recovery?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Clockwork Recovery is the system used to install new ROMs. It also allows you to do other things such as backup & restore your DHD to the "Exact" state it was when you made the backup. Also partition your SD Card, Mount USB storage, Wipe your entire DHD, Battery stats & Cache. Some of these functions can be used from within ROM Manager. To navigate within Clockwork Recovery use the volume buttons to move up and down and the power button to press ok.
Another question, is my phone still bootable after 1st step? and then after the 2nd step?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Your DHD is bootable at every step. Nothing is removed from your DHD by following these steps. Simply permissions and settings are changed within the Android (root) & DHD (S-OFF) system.
Can I just flash another custom rom on top of a ROM?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You can, but not unless its advised by the Dev who created the ROM. Different ROM's use different bases AOSP (Stock Android) or HTC Sense. Switching between these will certainly need a wipe.
I read somewhere about a Wipe tool.. is this like a task 29?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I'm unfamiliar with task 29? The Wipe Tool is a flashable tool, much like a ROM that will remove everything from your DHD prior to you flashing a ROM.
Does flashing a stock removes all the permroots and s-off or is this like an HSPL that stays no matter what one flashes?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Flashing a Stock HTC RUU will overwrite everything that is covered here and return your DHD to stock. There is an exception to this, Radio S-OFF. You only need to do this to flash a new Radio. If you achieve Radio S-OFF then that remains even after running a RUU.
I am unable to link to guide's at the moment but I will add them later. Sorry if I am teaching you to suck eggs here!
If you need anymore answers feel free to ask.
Dude Andy... you are my santa... LOL.. in a very very very non gay way
So now I understand more.. and just to re-cap
Get the DHD.. play around a bit
1. Use visionary to Temp then permroot
2. S-off tool to be used
3. Download rom manager and install with clockwork recovery.
I will read a bit more about the wipe tool.. i think if you say that it removes everything.. like a factory reset or like every thing...? that means technically after a wipe my device would not be able to boot? How would i then install the custom rom?
And also as i understood.. if I flash a stock and with the S-off in step two already, i wouldnt need to worry about anything? and can go to flashing a custom rom easily.. or Radio S off and S off are two different things?
Anyway.. you guys have been much help..

Read everything you can, once you grasp the basics of Android you'll be flying in no time. You would only run/flash the Wipe Tool before flashing a custom ROM. You run/flash the Wipe Tool from within Clockwork Recovery, this is not wiped and will remain after flashing ROM's. It will be overwritten if you run a HTC RUU. You flash ROM's from within Clockwork Recovery. You only reboot once you have wiped and then flashed a new ROM.
And also as i understood.. if I flash a stock and with the S-off in step two already, i wouldnt need to worry about anything? and can go to flashing a custom rom easily.. or Radio S off and S off are two different things?

Yes S-OFF & Radio S-OFF are different beast's, both are simple to attain but Radio S-ON is not restored after running a HTC RUU.

Thanks again mate!!!
For the wipe tool.. so the ROM is removed.. i was thinking correctly... will need to be in "bootloader" to flash the ROM... I think flashing a stock does pretty much the same..
for Radio S Off.. i guess i should only do this if i need to install a new radio...
Great... Thanks again.. and Merry Christmas to you as well
Hi once again.
You need to be in "Recovery" to wipe & flash a new ROM. Bootloader is used to flash files that cannot be flashed via Clockwork Recovery.
Running a Stock HTC RUU will automatically put your DHD into bootloader, no user input should normally be needed.
You are correct with the Radio S-OFF, there has been a new Radio released so you may want to update to that at some point. Do be careful though, The latest HTC RUU & OTA Update will prevent you from attaining root & S-OFF.
Great mate! Thanks.. I guess I will play around with my DHD in any case for a week or so before I do the rooting etc
I wonder where is the thank button that svetius was mentioning in the forum announcement.. would like to click one for you

I would recommended just using your DHD as it is for a week or so. You may get notifications of updates to your DHD, not Market updates.
Remember the latest HTC Update will prevent you from doing everything we have been discussing.
The thanks button it located under each post. I'm not a thanks hunter, I just like helping others.
hahahaha.. I was using the XDA classic view and so there was no Thanks there... swtiched to XDA 2010 and found it.. realised I had a thanks from soe one as well!! Cool!! Must be from the HD2 forum

Hi. I am planning to flash CM7 for a try. but i notice in some threads they mentioned installing GAPPS. what is this actually? an app available in market?
GAPPS stands for Google Apps... That includes stuff like the gmail app, google maps, google goggles, etc.
you can find some of these apps on the market, but not necessarily all of them. (I couldn't download gmail from the market)
Without GAPPS you have no Market, as Market is included in GAPPS.
Ic. so its apps related to Google's own app. Alright, thanks alot. x)
thanx so much for d info
Thank you for asking the question and all the answers. It helps.
And here's a link to all the GAPPS you'll ever need:
http://goo.im/gapps
:angel: (At least I hope that's all you'll ever need!) :silly:
Use archiver program (such as 7zip, WinRar... etc) to open, delete all unneeded and flash

there are many unnoficial CM ROMs out there and each ROM reccommends a different set of GAPPS.
GAPSS are just a compiled list of apps and some might have calendar, some might not, every package is different.
They were made to reduce flashing time and reduce bloat, plus some regions of the world cannot use some apk's and need a localized GAPPS package (as some regions like Germany cannot download gmail and calendar fro the market)

GAPPS are not included in Cyanogen Mod because they include proprietary software developed by Google...
See Wikipedia - CyanogenMod for the whole History:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CyanogenMod
here's a cutout:
"Following a statement from Google clarifying its position[56] and a subsequent negotiation between Google and Cyanogen, it was resolved that the CyanogenMod project would continue, in a form that did not directly bundle in the proprietary "Google Experience" components.[57][58] It was determined that the proprietary Google apps may be backed-up from the Google-supplied firmware on the phone and then re-installed onto CyanogenMod releases without infringing copyright."
GAPPS per Android Version
In the AOSP ROMs, most famously CyanogenMod and AOKP the GAPPS are not included in the ROM.
Here you can find some info about the Recommended Package of GAPPS per Android Version:
http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/Google_Apps
The primary mirrors for the Google Apps packages are here: http://goo.im/gapps
I hope this will help.

So I'm attempting to get the latest Cyanogen Mod for my HTC Vivid.
This is all the instructions I see and this doesnt do enough for a noob like me.
Installation Instructions
Requirements
* Rooted (obviously) -- Check
* A brain -- debatable
Installation
1: If you are coming from another ROM do a full wipe -- Did that
1a: if this is just an update to THIS ROM BASE you can simply wipe cache and dalvik cache
2: Flash gapps (download below) -- Does the Gapp have the ROM in it? I think not from reading this thread
3: Reboot --- But I havent installed the ROM yet.
4: Enjoy CyanogenMod 10.1
I've looked everywhere on this site for a HOW-to-Install a ROM guide and I cant find one anywhere in the HTC Vivid boards.
Any links would be most helpful.

Ok, so you just don't have the 2nd thing (a brain)...
Just kidding
Ok. The way you install the rom is
You have to have a custom recovery
You download the rom.zip and put that on your SD card
You go to your recovery, and do a full wipe (search what that is)
Then you install the rom.zip and boot the phone
If you are not S-OFF then you have to extract the boot.img from the rom.zip and flash that separately (search how to flash a rom when S-ON).
When you've installed the rom boot the phone.
IF you want GAPPS then go to the recovery again and install GAPPS.zip
GAPPS are just APKs and are not the whole ROM.
Now just boot the phone again.
And that's it, you're done.

Is it too late to change my name to FUBAR?
So made a TWRP back-up of my phone.
I did the wipe
I loaded Cyanogen 10.1 but it just cycled at the Cyanogen splash screen for about 15 minutes.
I pulled the battery and tried it all again.
This time I did it via the ROM Manager.
I did a backup to Clockwork Mod recovery
I wiped
But now NADA -- Just the White HTC screen.
I can get to the Bootloader screen but when I do fastboot it comes up saying No image found.
Methinks I backed up something non-existent and then flashed back to that non-existent or empty ClockWork Mod.
Is the white HTC screen symptomatic of a hard brick or soft brick?
Thanks for your response.
As the saying goes "Experience is the best teacher because it costs to much."
By hook or by crook I will NOT be a noob forever
Thanks again all - Be Well
Are you S-On or S-Off? If you are S-On, did you fastboot flash the boot.img?

I dont what S-On/S-Off is.

I can't find my card reader but I'm pretty sure, nay hopeful, that all the images I need are on the SD card. So at this point I believe that I just need to find a way to bootload off my sd card. But I can't do that just using the phone alone because my phone has no OS on it at this point. It's just a device.

So you are S-OFF, right?
TWRP has some problems flashing some ROMs... I recommend you to flash 4EXT recovery and try flashing the ROM once again.
Yeah, you haven't bricked anything
TWRP should be able to flash the stock rooted RUU. From there install 4ext recovery and from then on install what ever you want

Havent figured out how to flash anything because my phone is just a device and no OS. All I get is the HTC white screen. When I go to flashboot it complains that there is no image. Everything I've tried from just the device has come up nil. Not restore factory settings, not anything from the bootloader menu. The device not connected to anything is poo-poo platter.
Assuming I need to find out how bootload from an image loaded on my computer with the device attached via my cord.

Hello,Guys I'm new in this community And Today i have rooted my wildfire And to ensure whether my fone is fully rooted or not.
I installed App Called "ROM MANAGER" And it worked...
So,Now it means my fone is fully rooted right..??(Correct me if i'm wrong )
So,Now all i want to know the easiest and safest Way To Install CM7(stable) if possible then please provide the link thnxx in advance
Help me
Yes its rooted, but, to install Custom ROMs, you will need to install a Custom Recovery (ie Clockworkmod).
There are 2 ways to go about it:
1) Fastboot - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14693680
2) PC49IMG - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130044
I have only used the Fastboot method so far, so if you need further assistance, just ask.
BTW, Both the above methods need S-OFF using AlphaRev X. If you are not having S-OFF, then simply use Unrevoked to install the Clockworkmod Recovery.
Once Clockworkmod Recovery install is complete, follow this post to install Custom ROMs like Cyanogenmod 7:

Got Superuser App in your App Drawer? Also, what exactly did you do to root your device? Did you use AlphaRev X or use Unrevoked?
Yup I got superuser automatically in app drawer and i used alpharev X
Weird, Then try installing Busybox from within Titanium Backup. (Press Menu Key, then Press "Problems", It''ll download Busybox).
Also, can you explain what all procedures you followed after getting S-OFF using AlphaRev X?
and bro one thing more
One minute ago i installed SHootme app and this app also asked me for superuser priveleges I allowed it and it worked...shootme app is working i don't know y titanium app is sayin like that ??
And yaa The method u posted in ur 1st post i hve already done that...i hve installed it via PC49IMG
Okay, well since you've got recovery you are now able to install custom ROM's.
Download the one you want (Cyanogenmod gives good performance),
put on your sdcard,
boot recovery (turn off, hold volume down and press power, use volume down to navigate to recovery, press power).
Backup stock ROM from backup & restore.
Wipe dalvic cache in advanced menu, wipe boot, data, system, cache in mounts and storage.
Then install zip from sdcard. Voila.

Titanium backup not giving you root previlages whereas other app gave. There is a possibility that you accidentally denied the "root permission" of titanium backup when you opened it for 1st time. As it will be in a remembered state it might be the issue. Open "superuser" from app drawer and check the root permission status of titanium backup. Another suggestion is to update the Su binary from superuser app. Then download busybox installer from market and install busybox from that. Then open titanium backup.
There is absolutely no risk in installing cm7. But do make nandroid backup of your current rom so that you can revert back anytime if you don't like it.

CM7 is an AOSP ROM, so obviously there will not be Sense in that, which is the proprietary of HTC. Refer this thread for lists on ROMs:

You are not getting me. CM7 is an AOSP ROM. AOSP stands for the Android Open Source Project, and is intended to be the base where Google releases their Android Source Code (Android is an open source OS after all).
CM7 is based on that. Obviously, Sense is an HTC Product, and hence is not a part of AOSP. If you want Sense, you will have to get a Sense ROM. Sense will NOT work on ANY AOSP ROM. I hope this is clear to you.
Again, refer the ROM list I gave you the link to in the previous post, I have segregated it based on whether a ROM is based on Sense or based on AOSP.
If you want Sense, you cannot use CM7.
For your 2nd query, yes, installing process is as you have described. However, make sure you perform a "Wipe Data / Factory Reset" in Clockworkmod before installing a new ROM to prevent issues.

If you are on CM7, you will need to flash an additional GApps Package (Google Apps), which will give you Android Market. You can download it here:
http://goo-inside.me/gapps/
Look for
gapps-gb-20110613.zip or
gapps-gb-20110307.zip
Flashing procedure remains the same. Place file on your SDCard, Reboot into Clockworkmod Recovery, Select Install Zip from SDCard and choose the above zip.
Big ThnXxx to XDA Dev's and 3xeno And everyone who helped me...

Just install like a new ROM. One such stock rooted Froyo can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877977
The only different thing is that this will have to be flashed in Clockworkmod 2.x. (I guess you must know how to flash Radio's in CM7, so its not a big issue)
And yes, to OC, you will have to install a custom kernel like this one:

I also found that i have cwm backup from original rom that I can restore. Does this also restore previous radio or kernel or do I have to do it manually?
it will not touch the radio, but it will restore the stock kernel. (Or whichever kernel you had installed when you took that backup)

I got a problem. I want to get original Sense by restoring backup from CWM. Mine works, but has a pattern that i dont remember and a email wich i dont remember either. Does anyone happen to have a backup of a wildfire without password or could someone advice something else? I tried RUU but my win7 x64 is causing trouble, or the drivers.
Just flash the stock froyo ROM I listed in the first post I made in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877977). If you don't know how to get Clockworkmod 2.5.0.x, then:
- Download this attachment, place on your SDCard:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=662193&d=1311319218
- Flash the zip (update1.zip) using your existing Clockworkmod 5.0.2.0
- Device will reboot and will start Clockworkmod 2.5.0.7
- Perform Data Wipe and Choose Install Zip from SDCard, select the ROM Zip file, and let it install.

For the rooted ROM it says No Hboot | No Radio, what does that mean?

Just what is says. It does not include the Bootloader (HBoot), and it does not include the baseband (Radio). So, for these two components, what you are having on your device at this moment will remain. (ie - They will not be updated when you flash the ROM)

I Installed the Rom from recovery, but all I get is the HTC logo and the startup tone then it switches off and I get the same thing again. Help please!
Edit: It's working now but I cannot force move apps like I could do before. Why is that?

Because it is a Completely Stock HTC Factory ROM with no support for it.
