Hi guys, I rooted my phone (2.1 stock/unbranded) using unrevoked, then I flashed my ROM with OpenDesire using clockworkmod. After that I can't access clockworkmod so I installed ROM Manager and flashed it again (works).
After that I flashed it again with updated* HTC 2.10 ROM from forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741663, then bootloop. So I removed the battery, and now I can't access the recovery(only hboot or whatever you call it).
What should i do guys?
Do you have s-off? Flash a new recovery from fastboot if you do, you can run a stock htc ruu from fastboot too, s-off isnt needed for that.

I was running S-OFF and had used Unrevoked and Alpharev to get LeeDroid 3.0.5 ROM. All was running fine. Wanted to put back to stock, so downloaded and ran stock t mobile ruu. Now it will only boot to HBOOT .80 S-ON. The RUU said Bootloader version error 140, and does so now if i run it again. Loading recovery from the HBOOT screen shows the alpharev logo, but it never goes to the recovery menu. How can i get my phone working again???
I think you can flash stock recovery with android flasher

Are you serious?
what u mean
It doesn't matter, which rom you are using. I used the CD-method to S-Off my Desire, but I think it should also work using vmware.
You can't prevent alpharev from changing your splash screen, but there are tools in this forum, which allow you to change it to whatever you want afterwards.

You can change the splash screen with Android Flasher - It can be found in the Developement sub-forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794638
If you need a stock ROM, then you can either flash the RUU (You lose Root, S-Off) or flash a pre-rooted stock ROM (can be found in the Developement sub-forum).
S-Off via VMWare can be done, but if you are stuck use the USB or CD method instead (people reported issues with VMWare).
dont try to do S-OFF unless you are running stock rooted ROM
best is to run a RUU, then root, then go s-off
if you try to S-OFF while on a2sd+ or data2xxx rom, procedure will fail, and it might brick your phone (it fails after going past STEP3 - DONT UNPLUG YOUR P_HONE OR U WILL BRICK IT) but i unplugged it, and was ok, then RUU and again whole thing worked
I had problems with s-off on my stock sense rom (rooted).
I made a goldcard, rooted, then alpharev would not recognise my device.
Soon as I switched to rooted aosp rom (oxygen) it was fine!

Just flash stock rooted froyo, done the trick for me.
OP, just search for how to s-off, there are answers to all you questions available. I know that, as i only recently s-offed myself.
So, can i do this?
1. do nandroid backup
2. use froyo asia wwe ruu(im from singapore)
3. root with unrevoked
4. s-off with vmware
5. restore
But err, one question, if i was damn unlucky and brick my device, can i just use the RUU and restore it back?

Just follow the guide on the thread. If you brick your device, there is no way back. That's why its called brick. There are semi bricks, which can be fixed.

hi my HTC Desire says PVT1 S-OFF already
this make any difference between AlphaRev S-off?? or i need to go through this method also??
Just install a rom without A2SD (like Leedroid 2.4.1 no-A2SD or Teppic's rom) and then you can S-OFF your desire. I advice you to write the .img on a cd and then boot on this, you won't encounter any issue.
Afterwards you can apply a new splash on your Desire, like the stock one (which is available on alpharev website).

if it doesnt work try revolutionary
..and for alpharev, you must have a rooted stock froyo 2.2, so if you flashed a non stock rom, it probably wont work.

you don't actually need to be rooted, I've done the process (more than once) straight after using a RUU (and reverting to S-ON), as revo gains temproot and then is able to S-OFF
In fact, I start from the latest Leedroid HD.
I've redo the S-OFF with the Revolutionary beta app for windows and working very well.
Ok so I wanted an RUU ROM unbranded and stock for my Mrs HTC One X (Which is T-Mobile locked), but due to CID, S-ON etc I could not flash it... The I was told that T-Mobile nt bothered to make a JB 4.2.2 S5 OTA ROM Updated, and was told to use the Maximus HD custom ROM, I went ahead and downloaded the ROM, the Kernel, flash the Kernel and installed the ROM via custom recovery, but the phone now hangs on the HTC logo at boot... probably because the phone nt S-OFF, which ,according to the developer, is needed to install the ROM, so why was I advised to install this ROM as I mentioned that I can't seem to be able to S-OFF the phone?? and why was I told that the HTC One X can't be S-OFF, yet the developer of the Maximus HD seems to state that this ROM is good for the HTC One X, but the phone needs to be S-OFF? so can this phone be S-OFF?? and is this the reason why the ROM hangs at boot (HTC logo)??
