Hi all,
I've s-off and root my Desire (running official HTC 2.3). Now I have Revolucionary Hboot. My question is, should I change hboot (for example to CM7 or stock 0.93) or can I flash any ROM's that i want (not the ones that need CM7 of course)
Just flash ROM, but be attentive to choose for stock.
Take a look at the description of the ROM in the threads. Many of them will give information as to which HBoots are compatible. The HBoot will set the size of the System, Data and Cache, and not all ROMs will fit into the sizes given by some HBoots.
For example the LeeDroid HD V3.3.3 R5 Port A2SD will only fit on a Stock Bravo Hboot, but the Data++ build will fit on several different HBoots as its system requirements are smaller.

My current ROM on my GSM Desire is 2.3.3 with Sense 2.1 and 3.0 features, also with A2SD+ (this ROM is not in this forum).
My question is if it's safe to S-OFF with this ROM, or should I flash a more 'standard' ROM (like 2.2 and with no A2SD)?
I ask because I didn't see anything about it on http://alpharev.nl/ except that doing the S-OFF on D2EXT isn't recommended.
Thanks!

When you run the s-off procedure on a gingerbread rom, there might occur problems. So I recommend to do nandroid backup, flash froyo (e.g. defrost), run s-off, restore nandroid backup. But there shouldn't be any problems with gingerbread/a2sd+/s-off.
Okay, thank you very much!
either a Stock Rooted FROYO
or Oxygen
no roms with a2sd+ or data2sd/ext
I am looking for the official ROM 2.3.3 rooted & S-OFF but with the DATA++ hboot, anyone can help, or guide into how to make the stock boot rom to be data++
Well you would be looking at shifting 70MB of the ROM to somewhere other than the /system partition, you would need to move it to SD-EXT. Why do you need data++ to work with it?
Best bet is to download one of the sense 2.0/2.1 ROMS that fit into the CM7 Hboots and look at their scripts in system/etc/init.d for clues as to how they do it...

Stock hboot has 250mb for /system and 145mb for /data. CM7 hboot has 145mb for /system and around 287mb for /data if I remember correctly. In short, CM7 hboot will enable you to install more apps than stock as you can only use the data partition to install apps.
More info about the different sizes of hboot can be found here. alpharev.nl

If you use the stock hboot version, many things will remain on /system partition.
If you use cm7 hboot version, many things of /system will be swaped out to an sd-ext partition.

Since I am new to rooting I d like to ask something myself. I use official 2.3.3 and I d like to root to get Supernova Extreme. But since I can only use the alpharev method I will S-Off my desire. Does this mean I have to use CM7r2 or can I stick with stock Hboot? Which is best for this Rom? Thank you.

Quoting from the Rom page itself.
Hboot Required: Stock HTC Hboot if S-ON, or Alpharev Bravo Stock Hboot if S-OFF (If you havent changed Hboot, dont worry! Your phone is compatible!)

. You cannot use CM7r2 with this Rom. And having S-Off just means you have fastboot commands which is used to flash recovery etc. and have the ability to edit system partition while the phone is booted. It doesn't mean you have to change hboot. You can just stick to stock.
Means If I have 146mb for apps, which mean Im using stock hboot?
In that's the case than I have to download other ROMs in stockhboot version?

Yes each rom has to be flashed according to the hboot specified.If it is for cm7r2 or any other hboot it would be specified on the rom page itself.

To clarify this, not by deafult. Only if you use a big Sense ROM that has a CM7 hboot version.
how to do this?
What do you mean?

All instructions are in alpharev.nl, hboots included. You'll need the usb drivers and fastboot program.
Hi all,
This is my first post here on xda. I have a DesireZ (unbranded) for almost 2 years now, running the Virtuous Sense rom for half a year. I want to change to the Gen.Y VisionX R1 ROM, but I have a question.
In the topic of the custom rom is mentioned:
Flash via recovery (CWM/4EXT). Full wipe is recommended!
* T-Mobile G2 users: remember to flash the Desire Z HBOOT before installing this rom
First boot will take a while (5-10 mins).
Recommended radio: 26.13.04.19 (rename to PC10IMG.zip, put in the root of your sdcard and flash in bootloader)
Just to be sure, am I correct that flashing the HBOOT and radio is only needed when I have a T-Mobile G2 branded phone? Or flashing the radio to 26.13.04.19 is recommended for all DZ users? But not flashing the HBOOT. This bit of text is not clear to me.
I'm not a noob with custom roms, but I don't want a phone I can't use. That why this question.
Greetings.
I don't think the radio needs to be changed. I could be wrong. You can always change the radio afterwards though. So not a big deal.
You don't need to do anything with hboot. Only G2 users need to flash the DZ hboot to give them the room in /system for the larger Sense ROMs to fit.
First of all I don't recommended R1 it is having lots of problems now so just download the B5. To your question the desire z hboot is only for g2 users. This helps to give them more system space for sense ROMs also the radio helps in battery life, call and data quality if a dev is giving you a radio to use then you should know its connected to the smooth running of the ROM, you can also flash the radio later....

Hey.
I've got a question, my buddy got a Desire (GSM) wich I sold him long time ago.
I had Oxygene and Oxygene hboot on it, now its stock 2.2 Sense and unrooted, cause he is an IT illiterate.
Now he is complaining about lacking internal space, and I will help him root it, and install another Hboot, because that gave me around 300 mb. internal space, when I owned it.
My question is, he will be running rooted stock 2.2, and I will root it and install another HBoot on the phone, to get some more internal space, but wich one should i pick?
Bravo Stock 250M 40M 147M 7bd5234711364880de1fa982dcf3a2d6
Or
Bravo Sense 180M 40M 217M 47d034c8350e665dc20eafbd3a4900de
?
I think you should write down what is exactly shown in the bootloader first. You have to be SOFF before changing hboots.
As far as hboots are concerned only use the hboots from alpharev.nl. Totally depends upon the ROM you want to use. Best to go to the ROM thread and see what the dev recommends.

Either you didn't read the whole topic, or you misunderstood it.
I will gain root and gain s-off, but I won't flash any Rom, I will let it run stock Sense 2.2, and those hboots are taken from the alpharev.nl site.

How do you think to run stock (which mean factory) 2.2 on custom hboot? Do you know that it requires 250mb system partition to run?
Different thing is if you want custom 2.2 made from the official stock ruu, that could be found.

I did'nt know, I thought that was possible?
So you can only change hboot if your running a custom rom?
Yes, cause stock OS, or rom, requires 250mb system partition (it's somewhere around 242-243mb leaving 7-8mb of free space). If youre up to extension of memory, choose some custom rom that fits cm7r2 hboot image and flash both.
Ohh okay.
What is the most stable custom rom with sense?
Maybe some Sense 3.0

Just read, they are all more or less stable...
