i read on the alpharev site that you need a base rom to s-off... can't i s-off on a prerooted custom rom based on official android 2.3? it's Alex's custom rom. I don't want to re-intall a base rom and go through rooting process again... i just want to be able to use chainfire.. what are the risks involved in s-off process?
just download revolutionary.
it will give you s-ff and optional custom recovery on any rom i believe
only requirement is hboot 0.93 or 1.02
Revolutionary support site lits all supported devices.

Hello!
I now have a DHD with original sense ROM, i want to root it and flash a faster kernel without changing original ROM. What should i do, and what kernel are you suggesting?
You need visionary app to root it. Then get either radio s-off or hboot s-off. There are excellent guides in the development section. I'd post links but I'm mobile right now and its a pita.
Best kernel for sense roms is the buzz kernel, I prefer version 1.06 as the later releases are based on the Cyanogenmod kernel source which isn't as good with the sense roms.

Can you please post links of rootguide and flashing kernel?
do i have to install recovery flasher to flash a kernel?
is it better that i use kernel update utility?
Ok back at my laptop so:
If you want radio s-off go here.
If you want hboot s-off go here.
Radio s-off will allow you to install a custom recovery and flash a custom kernel.
Hboot s-off will allow you to use the kernel update utility or flash from fastboot a new kernel.
@dr.m0x, I am on stock ROM (1.32.405.6) right now and stock kernel (2.6.32.21) and
- I have perm root
- I have done S-Off (with One click Radio tool)
- I am on stock ROM 1.32.405.6 (I have not installed any custom roms)
- I have backed up my stock ROm via Clockwork Recovery (just in case)
If I flash a custom kernel (with jkoljo's Kernel Update Utility or with anything else) and want to back to my original Kernel can I use my back up ROM and install it via Clockwork Recovery?
Or Is there another easy way

okay guys this rom looks awesome, i need a little help flashing though.
i have a rooted desire with oxygen 2.2 and rom manager 3. somthing for my recovery, i have the original h boot and no s-off i was wondering do i need s-off to flash this or can i do it to my original h-boot. there is a stock hboot.zip provided but if i already have it do i need to reflash it.?
can i flash a custom h-boot with no s-off and what will happen if i do?
if i flash this will i loose my root or recovery?
thannks
If you read the first couple posts in the rom thread it says you can use stock hboot with this rom. Also, you must be s-off to change your hboot.

Hello, i have unlocked my phone with htc official tool, and it have installed a 1.03.0003 hboot. Now I want to flash a custom rom. But it is possible to "undo" all and go back to a 0.93 hboot for flashing (example) cm7 based roms?
Thanks
NO...i think....
Apparently it is possible to gain root access, but about changing hboot I'm not so sure if revolutionary team would bother with it. In summary - fail.

in fact, i am now able only to install stock hboot custom roms, like ics beta.. revolutionary tool works only with 1.02 hboot, at the moment.. I have tried goldcard, flash old hboot with fastboot, but nothing.. Hope someone will be able to "delete" this hboot...
Im running ICS on my desire and try to install the latest 0.4 RC. The Touch installer always says im using cm7 hboot but im using stock hboot. What can i do?! The problem is that there are some apps missing when i install this rom with cm7 config.

didnt help...
Try to flash downgrade from alpharev and then to flash stock hboot.
If that doesn't help, flash downgrade, then run official RUU for 2.3. After that gain root again and flash stock hboot and recovery that you want.
Hello,
Currently, i have a custom ROM on my HTC Desire. Aurora v6 it's called i think.
Now my question is, is there anyway possible to gain S-ON while on custom ROM?
Thanks,
Rinse
By flashing a RUU.
Check my sig for the 2.3 ruu. Be sure you have stock hboot.
