Hello. I use a stock HTC Desire updated to 2.2 and I have a few problems :
1. The most important issue, I cannot access the Market, because I live in Syria, and we're from that blacklist thing.
2. Facebook, Youtube, MySpace, and a few more websites are blocked in my country, and there is no proxy option in the Wi-Fi, and I can't use proxy with my Data connection bescase it won't work. (Guess my provider doesn't allow that)
So, to have access to all of the above, I think rooting is the best solution, but I find it confusing. And if there another way around, I'd prefer it.
Also, I want to have (if I decide to root) :
1. The exact same Sense UI.
2. Android 2.2 (offical HTC Desire 2.2 ROM)
3. I want the Radio version unchanged. (or re-installing it?)
4. HTC Widgets. ([Wi-fi, Bluetooth, Moblie Data, Profile, etc..] switches, HTC Clock, People, etc....)(All of them)
5. Proxy option in Wi-Fi. (or an application if this feature not available)
6. Market access.
Excuse me for being a noob.....Sorry.
Yeah, in conclution, I want to have everything the same, I want no change in my dear phone (excluding root access and proxy option and Market access)
Can you provide me with the needed program links, tutorials, etc....
Oh, and what is the easiest way to root (unrevoked3, anything else?) with tutorials.
Thank You Greatly
By the way, what is the safest rooting method?
I suggest using the unrevoked (www.unrevoked.com) method to root. Does not require a goldcard. Just make sure you install the correct usb drivers from HTC sync.

But does it work with Android 2.2, what if it doesn't, is there any way to downgrade my phone.
What about the drivers, where and how can I get them?
Sorry just re-read your post.
Unrevoked does not work with stock 2.2....sorry
I've tried unrevoked and it just wont work for me!
sorry if this a noobish question, but is there a chance of PSFreedom being ported to the desire HD in the same way it was for the desire?
Moved to General.

Bump! is anyone working on this?
Is it really worth jailbreaking your PS3? You lose multiplayer functionality which is a major drawback.
am interested in knowing about this as well....since its just a different payload, and needs a rooted android, don't see it really hard to get it working on DHD.
i am very intersted in it too, have a read here:

With psfMod, you need to have a special payload that allows PSN and patched gaming. I too got a desire, but i cant find the payload!
If you don't ahve psfMod, then you need to do the following:
1) Enable S-OFF [AlphaRev] Public release S-OFF HTC Desire GSM - xda-developers
2) Download psfmod recovery psfMOD :: Bravo
3) once downloaded, boot into fastboot (with the 3 androids on skateboards), make sure you're in fastboot (first option on the first screen) and plug in a USB.
4) go to the AndroidSDK/Tools folder, and run the following command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery [location of the .img file]

unfortunately the psfmod desire instructions dont work, we need a new image that will work with the dhd, as the current desire image just loads upto the htc logo

I rarely go online with my PS3 anyway and if I wish to I can always just update my PS3 firmware
I talked to klutsh he created already a lot of PSFreedom recoverys.
The only thing he needs is a source / vendor tree from the recovery image.
Paul created a normal recovery so you could also ask him if he release his vendor tree or at least to klutsh:
http://android.modaco.com/content/h...2-r2-clockworkmod-recovery-for-htc-desire-hd/
Does anyone have any updates for this ? I would really like to be able to run PSFreedom from my DHD
Is this what we are looking for http://www.klutsh.com/2010/12/06/psfmod-for-htc-desire-hd/ ?
I've read here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=772795 that we do need a particular (custom) ROM to make all this work and that the original one with Sense makes this infeasible. I don't know anyway if this can be applied to us, because it speaks about the 'normal' Desire and says Htc hasn't yet released a source code of the ROM, while I know Htc released the source of the base kernel of the DHD (well, that's not the Sense stuff, I know).
So, could someone give some hint? I absolutely don't want to wipe out my dhd for this, that would be only a 'let's see what I can do with an hacked ps3', nothing else...
wow, thanks ErMeglio, that's exactly what I was looking for!
I slowly am understanding how all this works...just did the whole stuff (rooted, flashed recovery, run it, flashed the ps3) and it WORKS.
PsFreedom worked but I had errors when opening the two new options. How are them supposed to work?
In the maintime I just wrongly sent my ps3 to a so-called "factory/service mode" (=useless!!) with the dhd and I am working to let it out of it....seems I need a LV2Diag.self file and I'm grabbing one
Edit
Just gone out from factory mode!
Check if your blu ray movie playback still works, there's reports of the service mode disabling it.

I had read it, but thought it was only because of downgrading, which I did not even try to because I have 3.41. I will give it a try in a week or so because I don't have a bd at home, I only rent them sometimes!
Anyway I got how the whole thing work and managed to install an ftp server, a file manager etc...and they are resident too! Cool!!!

I can confirm this is working, downgraded my PS3 yesterday
n00b here, Just rooted my DHD and would like to do this, are there any updates on this? or any tutorials?
I just bought a HTC T-Mobile G2 and it came with Cyaogenmod 7 installed and I want to go back to the stock version of the phone because I am unable to use swype with this software. So my question is how can i uninstall cyaogenmod 7 and go back to running the original. Another issue to take into consideration is I have a mac and have no access to a pc.
Another thing is there any difference in running Cyaogenmod 7 and the stock version? like in performance
Just go to the Swype website, and sign up for the beta, then you can download Swype.
http://beta.swype.com/
Flash a ROM that has Swype on it.
Follow redpoints lonk and ull get swype
With cm7 u can improve your phones perfomance by overclocking a lot
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
If you want to remove cyanogen mod then you should try downloading a ROM that is just clean or senseHD. Then from there you can download swype by applying for the beta program
Where would i be able to find this rom for the sense or the clean thing? And thank you for telling me about the Swype info!!! i downloaded earlier today after I saw the posts and I am loving it already. makes touchscreen a lot easier to deal with

If he installs one of those he risks not being able to root his phone or any other plethora of problems. He needs to be directed to regular zip files that can be flashed and not upgrade stuff that does not need touched and set booby traps all over the place that he may never be able to undo. Flashing ruu's is generally not a great idea unless you dont think your EVER going to want to flash or root again. ESPECIALLY the newer ones...
A cursory warning that this rom has A2sd installed; so, one will definately want to format their sd card [and particularly /sd-ext] correctly. I recommend [for this rom] ext2 on /sd-ext not over 1.5 gigs, no swap, whatevers left or you prefer to set for fat32. Also, though written in, you might want to dl and install A2SDGUI from market; link to guide for it and Links2SD found later in thread.
This is a rebuilt nandroid backup from dsixda's Android Kitchen. Be sure to do a nandroid and do NOT flash this on any other model wildfire s [A510c ONLY]. 2.3.4 as is stock to US Cellular, added everything including busybox, A2SD, and su, If any devs would like to pull it apart and meld your kernel in, go for it. Again, make nandroid. Should have full HTC sense 2.1. Download Link2SD from market for some space savings, and don't say I didn't warn you to nandroid [three times].
Also, as with any new rom installation. I recommend doing the following in your recovery: a factory reset [which wipes your data and cache] and advanced clear dalvik cache. If you do those two things, you usually don't have any transference issues; Superwipe is also a good alternative primer for wiping.

Thanks
So many I can't remember them all.
eoghan2t7 - for his work developing s-off [w/o xtc clip]
GotsOJ - for being the first to document his s-off experience (was very helpful).
alquez - for his work on the Unoffical CWM Recovery and port of CyanogenMod [which is where I'll be spending some development time next (kernel editing)]
dsixda - of course for his kitchen
jikantaru - lots of sense development for the Euro-side of this phone
simonsimons34 - for making Superwipe marvelc edition, once supplied w/ idea and src links
PoGoP - for contribution of files and being first tester
Works on Virgin Mobile as well
Although this will have US Cellular branding (and apps). So far everything I've tried works on VM USA too. These guys got HTC FM Radio and WiFi hotspot native and not as gunked up. Still need to test some stuff, but so far its nice. This Rom as my other one does not include radio.img; which, is probably why it works.

Tested network,sms,mms,fm radio, WiFi (and hotspot)... All working. Amended OP.

so does this mean that I could potentially use the other custom roms around here and just not include the radio.img file?
on a side note apart from what I just asked, any way to include data2sd with this rom so that you could use one of the sd card partitions for internal storage?? Similar to how [ROM]Wildfire S -JikantaruROM XE™|Sense2.1|DATA2SD|HighQuality & Performance 10-30-11 uses data2sd.

Probably could. Apps2sd does the same thing for me; Just download a app like Link2sd, let it flash the script [according to the partitioning of your personal sd card], reboot and voila... All apps and dalvik vm can be moved to sdcard.
Most of the other custom roms are written for GSM phones and most marvelc flashers have reported wifi, data, bt, etc not working [major flaws]. You can get calling if you backup your APN info [APN backup & restore - app on market] but no data... you won't keep the rom(s) longer than to test it... no PRL data etc [important for us CDMAers ]. Short answer... not yet. I know of one dev universalizing his rom... but as of this writing, not yet. Only mine and simonsimon's roms work for marvelc as of this writing.
Rob
yea, I'm already using link2sd, but after moving everything possible, or linking everything possible, it still only leaves me with like 20mb of internal storage. with the rom I mentioned earlier, using data2sd, it would basically install the rom directly to the sd card, and use the 2nd partition as the "internal" storage. making the internal storage around 700+mb available.
There's this one gps app that I am dying to try, just to see how good it is myself, but it tells me that theres no room to install the maps This is after the app itself is moved to the sd card, and with about 20mb available. That's part of the reason I would like to have data2sd on this device.
At least that's what I have discovered so far, btw, im still a n00b to android phones. so im not totally up to date on all the diff apps and what they all do, so please correct me if i am at a wrong assumption.

Don't like Google Maps eh? I have a hard time justifying adding (or even trying) an app over 10mb... Google's apk limit I think is 25mb for the market. That being said, I am working on a custom marvelc rom that I will release with option for Apps2sd or data2sd etc. flashable zip mods and release the rom without them. [this would mean your practice would be full wipe, install rom zip, install [your choice of mod] zip, etc. I might even look into this guy that wrote some roms for the G2 ILWT or something like that... he had a lil text script you could modify...[makes it all one command]. Either way, it will be a new thread when I release the custom rom. Won't be immediate either; I'm 40 and move like a turtle. I am shooting for a release before Christmas though. [looking at everything inc. compiling 2.3.5 kernel and seeing if I can get that running on our cdma's, possible sense porting [true 3.0 if it works], etc.]
The best system file size scenario you will see is with an AOSP rom [like CyanogenMod]. A couple devs are working on those type roms for the marvelc (simon[2] and alquez). I'll assist where I can, but stay out of their way. Alas, I catch myself rambling yet again.
Looked over Data2sd... It basically uses your sd card as your data partition, but most prefer DarkTremor's A2sd still. Just hard to get rolling sometimes. I did post a mini-guide on it over on the VM USA stock rom thread here.
i know this device is sort of "old hat" i have a question, the rom from this OP works well on uscc wildfire s (cdma) one thing i dont understand is how come the rom reflects "virgin mobile" carrier brand on lockscreen, and notification pull down, also in settings/network/operator name...
will someone please explain this to me.
i do not see much uscc support for this device, rightfully so. i have yet to flash a rom for a510c that reflects the uscc official "get your phone back to stock roms" am i missing something?
Well there was a uscc dev early in the game, but to answer your question, the rom probably touched my phone. I know you guys have had an update.. as has vm usa and metro. Unfortunately, going back and updating.. their could be a possibility of ten different hboots (for the three carriers, that I know of [original, htc unlock, update1, [update2-only metropcs]]). Also, the newest ones aren't as easily hackable. For uscc there would be three possible hboots, and these provide a base. If you would like to get back to stock entirely, use football's RUU. I paid for and he agreed to release these for all marvelc carriers. Otherwise, I could do something now without it touching my phone Early on, had no RUU and little way to test otherwise.
Rob
PS Thank you for letting me know. And your post counts toward interest. So far, the guy [Pogop] who shared his nandroid has pm'd me.. but I guaged interest as low; and thus match my priority for uscc specific development. But you've raised it from a 1 to a 2 If it gets to 10 it gets done right then.. but I got a list of tasks. Sadly those under 5, I have not been able to make time for despite my best efforts. If any other uscc users would like Team Blueridge attention, now would be the time to chime in with a +1

Works with US Cellular A6230 Wildfire S
This ROM is working great on my US Cellular A6230 HTC Wildfire S
Nice to back to fully working ROM.. cannot find any customs that work with my model :/
Thanks very much chap..
errr... hold up....
Hold up a sec... I don't seem to be able to install market apps from Google Play...When I try the phone reboots and I get a Tell HTC notice.. anything I should know? Is there any control over Apps2SD ?

Fixed! Was my own fault regarding the market apps, figured it out...
safe to install OTA System Updates?
Hello,
This question refers to this ROM which I installed a week ago...
I have flashed this great, stable Stock Rom to work with my Marvelc Wildfire s, which took me forver to find and I'm very happy with. However, I have now got a notification stuck on the bar telling me there is a System Update available. My first question is; IS IT SAFE TO INSTALL THE OTA UPDATE OVER MY CURRENT ROOTED ROM? If so, is there anything I should know prior to doing that?
My second related question is; If it is not safe to install the update, or uneccessary, unimportant or just a plain nuisance, how do I get rid of the notification that will not clear and prevent them from appearing in the future?
Thanks in advance for your help!
I don't think you can update it, you don't have the original HTC recovery that came on your phone anymore...if you don't want that message to pop up go to settings-->about phone--> and somewhere in there there's an option to turn the update checker off. sorry I don't know the exact menus I've been using cyanogen since august.

Anyway, thanks Rob, I did what was instructed with no issues, hopefully it prevents those stinky updates. I don't know why I would want to update anything while I have everything just how I like it.
You may want to add "Working with the US Cellular A6230" to your description as I know many folk are looking for a 'working' rom...
Cheers!
no more USC logo on boot...
Hey... I fiddled a bit more with this and got a few apps loaded and working great... still no problems with this ROM...
Fixed OTA Updates as per insink17's instructions...
Have excellent, phone,data,gps,sms,mms etc...
removed or froze much of the remaining sytem apps that were chewing up battery/ram...
added some nice live wallpapers...
and best of all, got rid of the US Cellular bootanimationimage and can now add any boot animation I like! (Have a smart little glowing Droid on startup at present... cool!)
Thumbs Up!
I have Windows Vista Home Premium, I have downloaded HTC Sync 6 times and twice from the UK Link. Can not get it to work at all.
T-Mobile G2 2.3.4 Gingerbread
I can't even put ringtones on my phone manually!
Someone help me pretty please!
The main features of HTC Sync will only work with an HTC Sense ROM, so if you have a T-Mobile ROM it won't work.
HTC Sync is still useful for giving you the USB drivers though. So you should still be able to turn on USB storage on your phone so that the SD card is mounted onto your PC and then you can copy ringtones etc.
Of course, another option is to put your phone's SD card into the PC via an SD reader if you have one.

hi,
OK problem is explained, really thank you, but how to use synchronisation with T-Mobile ROM based phone ? Can I use a rooting, flashing or some developers tricks to get a Sense ROM to my T-Mobile G2 ? I found on this forum many ROMs but I do not know which I may use, if it is possible. Finally - I want to use my T-Mobile G2 use with HTC sync. Of course, I can use it like a USB stick but it is not what I am looking for only.
thank you
Yes,
Downgrade, root, flash dz hboot, flash sense rom
If you have trouble following these steps look to the xda or cyanogen root wiki first, then Google your next question, then use the search option in xda for your next question.
By then you will know all there is to know...
But feel free to come back here if you get stuck

Course you can get USB drivers without installing HTC Sync, and still be able to do stuff like adb/fastboot as well as mounting the mass storage.
ie: HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe

Pick just about any 'sense' rom in the android development section. Preferably one that's 3.5 or older (Gingerbread) for maximum hardware compatibility.
