I rooted my desire last week using unrevoked and I am currently using oxygen 2.1
What are the advantages of s-offing my phone?
I have a 16gb sd card with a 512mb partition which I did through rom manager.
Please go easy on me as I'm new to all this!
Cheers
I only started rooting and flashing new roms last week and did the s-off yesterday.
From what ive found info wise rooting gives a good amount of system access but there is still a lvl of system data that cant be changed unless u use Android Developer kit and use console commands(things like boot screens and where apps install either onto the phone or as optional apps on sd/or part of a2sd).
S-off releases the last lvl of security and allows you to even access the system files on the fly using apps like root explorer to swap app files etc.
S-off isnt really needed if all u want to do is flash roms etc
As a noob thats my way of seeing s-off hopefully a senior member can clarify or correct some of this.
Also http://alpharev.nl/ explains what s-off is at the top of his website
biggest advantage of S-OFF is ability to flash a custom hboot which changes tour partition layout. in effect you have more space for apps and ROM performs really fast, faster than any A2SD+ or DATA2XXX ROM
ofc the rom has to be designed to work with custom hboot.
i belive oxygen is
If I do the s-off do I need to delete the partition of my sd card or leave as it is?
if you have your SD card partitioned with fat32 and ext(for a2sd) then no u shouldnt need to do anything.
If you havent got a ext partition on your sd card yet id personally recommend making one just for roms that use a2sd.
As part of the s-off process though the sd card doesnt need to be touched
just make sure b4 u do s-off to make a backup using the recovery mode on the phone. Some roms can be corrupted after a s-off procedure(usually not booting properly) but using the recovery u can reapply the backup as the phone was before u did the s-off.
I have now s-offed the the phone, downloaded the PB99IMG file and renamed it PB99IMG.zip
I put the PB99IMG.zip file on my sd card but when I go in to Hboot (volume down + power) the file is not found.
Do I flash it like a rom by going in to recovery and "install zip from sd card"
Thanks in advance
Edit
the phone has now found the zip file file but it fails due to cid error

I didnt bother with the optional updated hboots, unless your rom requires it I wouldnt worry about it.
was just looking at oxygen 2.1 thread and i got this
Do i need to be S-OFF or have Oxygen hboot? No, the rom will work S-ON and with any hboot layout. However the recommended set-up is S-OFF and Oxygen hboot (thanks TheGhost1233)
so dont worry about the optional hboot update
But if u want the hboot I found this might help
http://androidforums.com/desire-all-things-root/309298-err-incorrect-cid-s-off-device.html
I have give up on installing the oxygen hboot
When I try to install the zip file from sd card in recovery(holding volume down and power) I get the cid error and the sdk method is just way to complicated for me
Well, you can still use android flasher if the fastboot method is too complicated for you
Search for it in the Developement section.

I have downloaded the Android flasher but the only instructions I can find are for flashing splash screens.
What mode should my phone be in to flash the oxygen hboot?
Cheers
I would do fastboot method if you are going to change the hboot, there is a very good thread with some extra instructions here:
http://www.oxygenrom.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=241&p=1746
Everything runs from internal memory so you can ditch all the complex partitioning work, and have a faster phone!
I ran the android flasher my hboot is
HBOOT-0.93.0001
does this mean it is done and if so what are the next steps?
Cheers
You can't use the pb99img method unless you're already s off. It is for s off people to switch hboots. For you, just download and burn the alpha rev iso onto a cd, reboot to cd, and follow instructions
Edit: just noticed that you are already s off.
Well then easiest way to switch hboot:
Reboot to fast boot (vol - and power button)
fastboot flash hboot hboot.img
Is the format of the command from dos prompt.
If you haven't installed android sdk, you can't do that.
For pb99img method, ideally use a gold card or a card with only one partition, which is fat 32
double check the file name in windows.
It should be PB99IMG.zip
Don't change the case. Make sure that there isn't an additional .zip extension on it. Try renaming it by removing the .zip part. If windows still shows the zip file icon, that means you had an additional .zip in the file name

everything is gone. I followed steps 1-5 and nothing worked. then I read the part about "must have SD partitioned using amon-ra recovery" which I did and now everything is gone! nothing on my SD card and no ROM. what do I do???
DIRECTIONS COPIED BELOW, NOT MINE JUST COPIED AND PASTED
*Must have sd partitioned and using Amon-Ra Recovery!! Link Below to the correct one to use. Rename to PC36IMG.zip
Place PC36IMG.zip on root of sd card, then power off phone and hold the vol- and power button down until hboot loads. It will automatically scan for this and ask you to flash it, flash it and then boot into recovery to assure it worked.

Partitioning ur SD card formats ur card, u should have made a backup on ur PC beforehand. Sorry for ur luck. Just redownload whatever rom u want and place it on ur SD card and flash like normal.

wait..so was your SD partitioned? installing a custom recovery will not partition it for you.
you should have a recovery installed, copy your sd to the computer (to save everything as partitioning will erase it), partition using said recovery, install ROM

You only need to partitioned your sd once. Place the rom zip on the root of your sd card. In recovery wipe everything, But the sd card (as this is where your rom is). Choose flash zip from sd. Let it do its thing. Then reboot. You should be good.

Ok we are gonna take some steps here and get your problem solved,i know you probably did some of this,but we are gonna start over.
1)Go here and follow these instructions.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158993
2)If youve done that,then go to your bootloader,you should be able to get there from your recovery,if not turn off your phone,then turn it back on while holding down on your volume rocker,you will go to the bootloader.
3)Once in bootloader,scroll to hboot usb,make sure you have HTC sync installed on your pc.
4)Once your phone connects to your pc,open it up and you will be in the root of your sd card,go here.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715938&highlight=Dark+Tremors+A2SD and install this.
5)before you have installed DT's Apps2sd,create new folders on your sd card,drag and drop the rom of your choice onto your sd card also.
6)Now go disconnect from your pc and reboot into your recovery,wipe everything but your sd card and install the new rom.
You should now be golden.
So my friend reformatted his sd card to fat32 (this was so he can pub PB31IMG.zip in his sd card and flash it using hboot he is rooted but clockwork recovery doesn't work)
Anyways when the phone is plugged in to the PC, two disk drives show up "DISK G" and "DISK F", both are completely blank.
What does this mean?
It wasn't like that before he reformatted them both to fat32 file system.

Well if they were formated they should be empty. Formating means to wipe all data and rebuild the disks file structure to fat32. Are you able to drag and drop files into the folders?
Ya they can drag and drop the problem is he formatted his internal storage as well
And hboot says "cannot find image or wrong image" when trying to flash PB31IMG.zip (put both PB31IMG and PB31IMG.zip just incase)

Not sure about that but if he's trying to fix clockwork he can flash from ROM manager. Sounds like an incorrect hboot file.

Ya thats the problem, clockwork recovery is a blank screen with two white bars on the sides for him. Its some issue with the Incredible LCD screen not seeing the recovery. Thats why he was trying to flash a working recovery but cant because hboot won't read it.

What hboot version is the phone on now. As said earlier you can flash it thru rom manager. If you have an unlockable bootloader you can fastboot flash cwm recovery img. Where are you getting the files from? Try this one http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/CWM_5.0.2.0/PB31IMG.zip

You can not flash cwm recovery or anything thru hboot except an officially signed ruu unless you are s-off. I would follow one of these guides to root and optionally get s-off. There is this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1506258, or this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1600904, both do the same thing just wrote up a little differently.
Thanks for all your help, I'll try those guides but the links give a 404 error.
Hey guys,
I just flashed the boot.img via the boot.img in the Custom Rom (CM10) (./fastboot-mac flash boot boot.img) and then I found out I didnt put a rom.zip but a rom folder on my phone.. So I wanted to reboot but it doesn't really reboots.
When you hear that chime, it plays that 3/4th and then goes to 'HTC One tm' screen and stucks.
How.. do I fix it?
I flashed it with latest recovery thingy, 5-1.8 as I can see in my download folder.
Thanks so much in advance!
Go in to Recovery(like TWRP), mount USB, put the ROM on your SD-Card and flash it.

I can get into my SD, but I cannot move/paste anything onto the drive. Both SD as Internal folders.
edit:Ok, I got the CM10 rom.zip pasted on the SD-card, but when trying to install: It says 'installation aborted'
2) What you mean with flash it? Just 'install rom from sd card .. .. and select the rom.zip?

Then the zip is probably corrupt, download it again. Yes, flashing a Rom means installing from sdcard.

Probably you have to disable the signature check in your recovery. After that, it will succesfully install.
Hello evryone.I got the Desire today and I would very much like to do root on my phone.I'm a total novice about all this and I'd like to ask someone for help.When I go in the boot menu (volume down+power) i have this:
-Revolutionary
BRAVO PVT3 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.93.1002
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYN0101
RADIO-5.17.05.23
Aug 10 2010
HBOOT
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
CLEAR STORAGE
SIMLOCK
Can someone suggest where to find a tutorial step by step how to do root on my phone because I'm a total beginner?
Thanks.
Well it looks like all the hard parts have been taken care of already. The rest is a piece of cake
Revolutionary was used to s-off, which probably means that you have a custom recovery install as well.
Use volume down while in the bootloader to scroll down to RECOVERY. Then use power to select it. When the recovery boots up you should have either cwm (clockworkmod) or 4ext recovery installed. Tell me which one you have so that i can give you some more guidance.
I'm afraid that nothing of what you have said I do not have.When I select a recovery nothing happens,On the next screen I see icon of phone on the middle of the screen and two circular arrow.One point down and another point up,and then red tringle with an exclamation point in the middle.I tried several times and always the same.Is this serious problem?

Then you need to flash a recovery. Either through fastboot, or through the PB99img method.
Fastboot implies installing fastboot, adb and hboot drivers on your PC, downloading the recovery.img, and then using the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img".
The PB99IMG.zip is a bit easier. Follow the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1751258

Yep, thats pretty much correct. You go into the bootloader, wait a couple seconds and it should find the PB99IMG.zip that you placed on the root of your sdcard automatically. Then you press volume up to confirm the install, and then reboot. Go back into the bootloader and select recovery and you should now have 4ext recovery.
Forget about the fastboot command. That is just another method of installing 4ext, but its a bit more work. Since youre using the PB99IMG method you dont have to do this.
Once youre in recovery you have a few options:
Boring option- You can simply flash a root zip which will give you root access on the stock rom
Fun option- You can pick out a custom rom from the development section and flash it. Custom roms come prerooted, and have so many other advantages over stock. (Performance, a2sd for gaining more space for apps, battery life, customization, etc.)
Thanks for the help.Can you recommend a good rom that will not slow down the phone?I read some posts that the Desire is weak to be launched ICS rom, and that the version 2.3.7 is best for Desire.Is this true or not?

Well anything over android 4+ wont run ideally on the desire.
My favorite stable rom is milwild's redux. You need to do a couple things before flashing to optimize your space usage. First create a 1GB ext4 partition using this guide. Then go here and download the PB99IMG_oxygenr2 zip. This is an hboot and will change the layout of the internal partition to maximize the amount of space for apps and app data. After youve downloaded it, rename it to PB99IMG.zip, and put it on the root of your sdcard. Then you go into the bootloader and install it the same way you did for 4ext. After that you go into 4ext, go to the wipe menu and choose "format all partitions (except sdcard)". Finally go to install zip from sdcard, select the rom i recommended above and flash it.
I have to admit that Gparted method for partitioning sd card somehow easiest for me.Again I have a few questions before I start my adventure installing milwild's redux ROM.

I did half the job, now the hard part remains.I installed 4EXT recovery and partitioned SD Card but not completely.I did everything like in the tutorial, but the internal memory is not increased.Here's a picture after finishing operations.
When I check the internal memory I have only 125MB.I repeated the operation three times, and the result is always the same.I Insert the CD with Gparted in the computer, boot and go to Gparted menu,delete SD Card and create first 6.4GB like fat32 primary partition.Then select second unalocated part of the SD card and create 1.1GB like ext4 primary partition.Complete operation and when i look into my SD card size is exactly same as in the Gparted (6.4GB) but internal memory is only 125MB.No idea what to do.

The storage that it shows in settings will not show the space on your ext partition. But don't worry, its working. You can download an app such as titanium backup which will show you the amount of space on your ext partition. If you're skeptical, try installing a few apps from the play store. If you're not getting any low memory errors you are good to go.
You flashed then oxygen r2 hboot right?

Try partitioning with 4ext. Also you should really switch to oxygenr2 hboot...with stock hboot you are wasting a ton of space on the system partition.
I will ty with 4EXT and please tell me one more thing.When finishing with partition SD Card with 4ext what is next?To put PB99IMG_oxygenr2.zip on SD Card and rename it to PB99IMG.zip and install it.Right?And after that put MildWild MW-9.5.zip ROM on SD Card, select it and install it and thats all or must do something more?

You still don't understand what has been explained before
Your internal memory will not read 'internal + sd-ext' because that's just the way the script works.
As long as the sd-card has been correctly partitioned, the A2SD script should work automatically. (you probably didn't need to use 4EXT if you follow the gparted guide exactly, but doesn't matter now)
Keep apps on internal i.e. don't 'Move to SD', and it will trick the apps apks and dalvik cache to sd-ext. You internal memory (/data) will fill up with app data (e.g. just the saved games). Another way to check is to install another app like 'diskusage', it will allow you to browse your partitions.
What is limiting you is that you are still on stock hboot. You should change to OxygenR2 hboot as advised. Currently on stock hboot your /system size is 250MB, but you're using only around ~95MB, wasting over 150MB.
If you switch to OxygenR2 hboot, the system size is 100MB, you'll waste only 5MB, and the rest gets converted to extra internal memory...total 332MB instead of 147MB...i.e. more space for apps
You should now
-nandroid backup
-flash oxygenR2 hboot, either by PB99IMG.zip method as advised, or using fastboot (search for guides)
-reboot back into recovery, full wipe and nandroid restore.
