Hello,
I was wondering is there an official way from HTC (or an app) to migrate everything from HTC Hero to HTC Desire ? (like android to android)
i found many apps in the market but nothing does 100% unless it needs root.
what i want to achieve is:
migrate apps (found many backup apps that does it)
migrate apps data/history/stores/etc.. (found some backup apps that does it)
migrate everything related to Sense UI such as settings, theme changes etc.. (found one only one app but needs root!)
Please advise
Thank you
I think that mybackup does everything you need,no root even UI.but i think that the free version is limited to one phone so to transfer from hero to desire you need to buy it. First backup hero, transfer SD to desire and restore

I flashed my standard Desire and one of the first instructions was to enter Hboot by holding down "volume down and the power button". I would then attach the phone to my PC and install the custom drivers.
However, I am now attempting to do the same on my brothers HTC Desire HD, but nothing seems to happen when holding down volume down and power. It just boots normally. We are attempting to install the Unrevoked stuff.
Any idea how one gets into hboot on an HTC Desire HD?
Perhaps post in the DHD forum??

Touché. My apologies.
Pull the battery, reinsert, then hold volume down and power. It's got quick start up which I'm guessing doesn't actually turn the phone off. It's a pain in the ass.

Ah, it was under application options, "fast boot". Disabling that got it working. Only thing now is that Unrevoked sits there on "waiting for phone to respond"... or some message like that.
From what I understand the phone should be on "charge mode" not "storage mode".
Use VISIONary+ to permaroot your DHD. You can download it from the app market. Then use unrEVOked to flash a custom recovery. It's the way I did it.

Yea, we're attempting to use Visionary now. However, he set it to temproot now and then after, permroot now. But, it said the phone needed to be temprooted!
So, he set temproot on boot and has rebooted, so we'll see what comes of it. Seems a lot more complicated than rooting and flashing ROMs on my standard Desire
EDIT: Worked this time. To get Clockwork Recovery Mod installed, do I use "reflash_package.exe"?
unrEVOked doesn't work on the DHD, all the rooting options you want are on the DHD forum
From the unrEVOked site:
Supported Devices
unrevoked3 currently supports the following Android phones:
*Sprint EVO 4G (HTC Supersonic)
*Droid Incredible (HTC Incredible)
*HTC Desire GSM
*HTC Desire CDMA (HTC BravoC)
*HTC Aria
*Droid Eris (HTC DesireC)
*HTC Wildfire (HTC Buzz)
unrevoked3 will permanently unlock NAND write protection by default on the following phones:
*Sprint EVO 4G
*Droid Incredible (HTC Incredible)
*HTC Desire CDMA (HTC BravoC)
OK, so what is the best way to install the Clockwork Recovery Mod so we may flash his phone with a new ROM? We chose Ginger Redux.
It is permarooted now and SuperUser is there.
Hmmm, maybe I didn't use unrEVOked, so many phones so many ways! Have a look here.
Please the desire and desire hd is 2 different phones... This forum is for desire the earlier linked one is for desire hd. We can tell you how to root your desire, but we don't want to find a way to root your desire hd, when it's all there for you in the desire hd forum.
Also why would you think redux will work on a desire hd, when it is a desire rom(as far as i can see there is no version on the desire hd forum). So please realise that those a two different phones. They need to be rooted in two different ways and they need different roms... So please go to the desire hd forum.

I did, it's just that this helpful guy was being helpful
I'll be honest in that i'm still learning, so yea I do know they are separate phones but I was under the assumption that they were actually the same under the hood, just the HD slightly bigger etc...
I was told by the guy who develops ginger redux that it should work fine on a Desire HD... but if not i'll keep looking then.
Sup guys. I need help with rooting my HTC Desire HD, i want to use Unrevoken but i have a problem: in the compitable list it says htc desire not htc desire hd, does the hdh also counts as a desire? Thx guys and sorry for my bad english

Hi xOMG. I am not sure about Unrevoken, but as far as I know, the Desire HD actually can be rooted using VISIONary+ app.
The app has been removed in the Market. But you can go to this site and download the apk file for installation. http://android.modaco.com/content/software/320350/19-nov-r14-visionary-one-click-root/
You may consider downloading any file explorer from the market so that you can install the apk file. Read the steps carefully before you use VISIONary+. Do it at your own risks. Lol.
EDIT: Oh by the way, your English is not bad and its perfectly understandable. Really.
Cheers. =)
I tried V+ but it "Crashes" after the black screen, had to wait more then a minute, is that okay? Should i try it again?

I am at version number 1.8....
I need to downgrade to root. I was always of the understanding that my device was already rooted I have s-off and i just checked in bootloader.
I just want to know what is the best way to back up my data before hand?
So once i am rooted i can put it straight back on?
Yes. You have to have build number below 1.72xxxxxx in order you to use VISIONary+ to root your device. Else the rooting process will not work. I have my build number 1.32xxxxxx when I first bought my Desire HD. So it means I do not need to do any downgrading.
Pauly_k, in the first place, what are you planning to back-up? The stock ROM? If you are planning to switch to other ROMs, the app ROM Manager from the market, can be used as a tool to switch ROMs and also back-up ROMs. If apps and everything I would recommend Titanum Back-Up app.
When you do a Radio S-OFF and/or ENG S-OFF exercise, you do not need to on and off it back everytime. You can just leave it OFF all the time. It will not affect your device in everything e.g. performance. OFFing it allow you to gain full access into other area in your device such as to flash new radios.
Unless you wish you send back your device to HTC for say, warranty purpose, then yes of course you have to ON it back. Lol.
Cheers.
So, I told my friend I'd help him root his HTC Desire. Thing is, when he first got it, which was apparently shortly after it came out, he had it rooted. The guys said, however, that it was a partial root. I don't know what that means. Also, he has the super user app, but no recovery installed. Also, I've looked over the guide for rooting the phone and getting S-OFF. (I have an EVO 3D) It's so different from my phone that I am not sure what bootloader version this phone has.
I know that it is locked, KINGDOM PUT SHIP S-ON, HBOOT 1.22.0000. If there is any help, I'd appreciate it. I'd be alright if it weren't rooted at all, but since it's partially rooted, I'm not sure.

I was on the bootloader for the desire when I typed this. That is the current hboot version. the version on the EVO 3d is 1.5

HTC Kingdom is the codename for HTC Evo Design 4G or HTC Hero S
(HTC Bravo is the codename for HTC Desire)
so root methods in this forum won't be of much help.
i'm not sure what your aim is:
- rooted phone? if you have superuser app it's likely that you're already rooted. try running an app that requires superuser permissions e.g. titanium backup
- custom rom? then you will need custom recovery, i couldn't find the xda forum for evo design 4g, so try google for a guide on how to install one for that phone.

Ahh, my friend wasn't sure which phone he got. I couldn't find a design forum here either. Also, yeah, he said it was a partial root (not sure what that means) and as for the custom recovery, he doesn't have one, which you usually get one when you root the phone (CWM Revolutionary usually). Thanks for the info, I'll check out google when I get home.
I think by partial root here might mean that the phone is not s-off yet
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app
Could he mean temporary root? (root is lost after reboot)
Because there you have a superuser app but no recovery...
You could try using apps that require root and check if root is gone...
There's an easy way to root/s-off on my guide.
But is it for HTC design?

So, I've searched on google HTC Design Rooting and S-OFF, and all it links me to is stuff for the HTC Desire or the HTC Desire S. It's like the Design doesn't exist. What gives.
Ahem, Im the noob here but...
Try "Find Your Device..." at the top of the forum, write just "HTC Evo 4G".
And look for an answer there... try READ FIRST! - Rooting, Solutions to Problems, the Answer to Life

And use THANKS button, if it helps you...

@Panface, don't know why there aren't relevant forums, possibly not a popular device among developers? If Google can't find the answers don't know what else to suggest, all I know is rooting methods for each phone should be treated uniquely, and we can't help you much here unfortunately

Yeah, it's an HTC Design, which is vastly different from the HTC EVO 4G. But yeah, it's weird that Google can't find anything about it. Must not be that popular of a phone.

Hi all, can somebody give me some advice to help out a friend.
My housemate has an HTC Wildfire and told me it keeps saying out of storage space errors. So I had a look at it, just assuming I needed to delete some apps, remove old cache data and maybe move some apps to the SD card. On checking, he has 7MB space free, so I thought he must have loads of apps installed, but there's only about 7?! The internal storage was so low and yet the SD card storage was hardly used at all, and there was also no option to move apps to the SD card. Didn't know these phones had so little storage space (I almost got one of these before my x10 3 years ago!)
I'm guessing the best thing to do is root the phone and clear out junk apps etc using Titanium Backup. I've done rooting and using of custom ROMs before on my old Xperia X10, but never on any other phone so is there an easy way to do it on an HTC Wildfire? As I am aware the process will be different. Also what sort of custom ROMs were developed for the Wildfire? Just upto Gingerbread or ICS and beyond, and if the latter, do they run better than GB?
Any help would be appreciated
Cheers
Just to be clear Your friend has HTC Wildfire S and not HTC WILDFIRE...If he has Wildfire S then follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1878031
Some Wildfire S models manufactured in 2012 gave some problems regarding recovery..If above mentioned guide fails and you can't get to recovery then follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1997465...
If the Wildfire S is manufactured in 2012 and you had to follow the second guide then you can't install ROMs based on CYANOGENMOD... You can only install ROMs based on stock ROM...
Thanks ever so much for the reply - I will have a look through those links. I did wonder whether he had the Wildfire or Wildfire S (before yesterday I had no idea there were two models) but then I guessed it would be the S as he is on 2.3.5 and yet the standard Wildfire shipped with 2.1 or 2.2 I believe.
Is there a 'safe list' of bloatware apps etc that can be removed from the Wildfire S with Titanium once it has been rooted?
Many thanks

I don't know about safe list.. but there are some ROMs with removed bloatware like Kimsmod supreme,Wildchild etc.. and also 3.5 ROMs..
P.S. Wildfire has a trackball under screen.. and Wildfire S doesn't have trackball..
Back again. Thanks for the replies
Finally got a working USB cable for my housemate's phone. He still wants to root, and being that I have done this on my old Xperia X10, he wants me to look into it - however, on reading that tutorial you (very kindly!) provided the link for above, it seems very complicated. Is there not an easier, simpler solution, or is this the best/fastest way?
Also I keep reading about Int2Ext in these forums - is this something that allows the SD card to be partitioned and used for apps? If so, does this come built in with custom ROMs or is it something you must do manually??
Many thanks
What is happening?
Is everyone seriously replying
the man is asking a question about HTC WILDFIRE NOT WILDFIRE S
hey dude plz delete this thread and open a new thread in your forum "HTC WILDFIRE"
What are you on about? It is the Wildfire-S....

There is HTC SuperTool v3 that can root your phone.This method would be the easiest (after you have unlocked the bootloader) assuming it works but unfortunately, it didn't work for me.
INT2EXT allows you to use a partitioned section of your SD card for more storage of apps More info here. Most custom roms support the use of the INT2EXT script
