[Q]How to remove HBOOT from rom.zip?

I used AlphaRev to turn my Desire S-off,and now i want to upgrade my phone.On the AlphaRev site it's said that by removing HBOOT from rom.zip I can keep my phone S-off after upgrade,but i don't know how to do it.
Should i remove something from rom.zip? what files should be removed?Directly remove it and flash or i need to sign the rom again then flash?Need some special tools,or just need winrar?

Just flash a custom rom, upgrading with a ruu makes no sense when you are rooted and S-offed.

But I think official rom is the most stable one and it‘s prefect with S-off

It's stable but slow as balls like. Custom roms are developed better. Stock roms are all about "eye candy" stuff but if your wanting a stock rom, go ahead and get one. Just avoid running an RUU otherwise bye bye S-Off and you will need to root and S-Off again. That is just my opinion.

The Ruu won't be rooted (but you can root it), however if you like the stock rom find the prerooted rom in development or try leedroid.

What do you actually want to achieve? By the sound of your posts you want a custom ROM with Sense ?? Try Leedroid 2.3d it is custom with sense and very stable. Go for the version with +A2SD and format and partition your sdcard with 1GB Ext3 or Ext4 and the remainder as Fat32. Use PArted to do this in Linux base.
I can almost guarantee that you won't look back.

Why do people say LeeDroid is so good? I've never seen the attraction myself, prefer my own ROM tbh

Eddy,
You are a seasoned Androider so have probably tried most if not all of the custom ROMS. Our friend here seems a little lost about his objectives....hense my recommendation. It is a most stable ROM, much better than a stock rooted ROM and very good for him to use while he figures out exactly what it is that he wants.

[Q] update question, radio nd.. please help

hey everyone
this is my first time i will root and install new rom on my htc desire, the thing is that i read the tutorials and everything, and i chosed to install cyanogen mod 7 rom, however cyanogen said this
The 7.0.3 update is *ONLY* for people using 7.0.2* stable builds. You'll hose your system if you install it on a nightly from the last week (2.3.4/GRJ22).
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
does that mean that i cant install it unless i had 7.0.2 preinstalled on my phone ? which means that for now i should install 7.0.2 ??
please help, and if it is true what is the way to update it after installing the 7.0.2 rom ??
plus it says
Update your radio! New radio from HTC 2.2+ roms is required
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
how do i choose the radio ? and how do i know that i dont need to download it if my radio is what is stated... ???
however the tutorial i am using says this in intro
***This method only works for users with hboot 0.93 and lower. Sorry 1.06 users, but until unrevoked updates, your stuck on stock htc***
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
mine is 0.93.0001
does that mean that i cant continue doing the steps of rooting and flashing provided ??
third is that
thanks in advance

Your hboot is OK, you can go ahead with rooting and S-OFFing your device (which i recommend since you want to run CM7, go with CM7hboot to maximize ROM efficency and properly use phone's memory)
Download 7.0.3 and flash it. what cyangoen said means, that you can go from 7.0.2 to 7.0.3 without wipe (flashing one on top of the other so you dont have to set up your apps and settings again) and also he mentions that if someone was using that weeks nightly build, he/she MUST do a full wipe before flashing 7.0.3 or it wont work
about RADIO
if you were on Official Froyo, you do have correct RADIO
if you werent or if you just want to be up to date, you can do it yourself - download the radio from desire forums here, search for them in the 'Desire index - everything for the desire is here' thread.
download .zip of the radio and flash it from recovery, or if you decide to S-OFF you can also do it by downloading .img of the radio and flasing it using fastboot (you must have [email protected])

go with CM7hboot

thanks alot for the help

HBOOT determines the partition layout in your phone memory.
stock bravo (desire) hboot is 250MB system, 147MB data and 40MB cache
now alpharev made custom hboots, one of them specifically for CM7 (since it didnt need 250MB on system)
and CM7hboot is : system 145M cache 5M data 287M
so u get lots of space for apps, nothing wasted (because u waste 150MB if running CM7 on stock hboot)

thanks alot
ive finished insalling my new rom
a great thanks for ur help

[Q] Flashing custom ROM for the first time

Hi,
I have a UK unbranded Desire HD, 2.3.3 stock rom installed, however it is the official version that was leaked ahead of the UK release. Before upgrading to this ROM I did the downgrade process and while I was there I did the Radio and ENG S-offs. I also have root and have confirmed this using the terminal emulator.
My question is - Do I have to re-downgrade to a stock ROM lower than 1.7 to flash a custom ROM or is that done to get Radio and ENG S-off?
Also - When flashing a new radio, as one is recommended for the custom ROM I'm thinking of trying (Virtuous Unity), do I need to back up the original radio, or keep a note of what version it is with my nand backups? or is already backed up when I do the nand backup? This is in case I wanted to return to stock at some point in the future.
Any help is appreciated,
Cheers,
Grim.

If you already have root and s-off i would assume that there is no reason to downgrade again. As far as i am aware radio is not backed up by a nand backup so be best to take note of what radio you have.
Hit thanks if it helped

Thanks Ricey!
I've taken a note of the Baseband version in the settings-->about phone section which I think is the radio version ?
I'm about to try it now so wish me luck!

Hmmm, I didn't took note about radio used before flashing new ROM, but I have original ROM backed up. Now I have to find out somebody who have the same device not rooted and take a note about radio, right? that will be a problem, but not impossible... At least, I have NAND of original ROM

Flahing an original RUU also flashes the stock radio so wouldn't worry about it too much

Great, I was not aware about this. Thanks for clearing this for me

Thanks guys,
I'm now rocking Virtuous Unity 1.27 and it works a treat!
I haven't bothered flashing a radio, and won't unless I notice some issue, so far calls, wifi and mobile internet all work fine!
Also something weird did happen during the process - I did a titanium backup of all my apps and copied them off the sd card to my pc, then formatted the card (on the phone).
I then set about wiping the phone in the way described in the tutorial I read (using a zip called full wipe in the clockwork recovery)
After flashing the new custom ROM I booted up my beautiful new ROM, went through the initial setup only to find some of my old apps still on the phone!?
Noting in the Virtuous thread that a full wipe is REQUIRED, I thought, ok I'll wipe again and re-flash.
I did so, but this time I wiped through Clockwork (there's an option when you flash the rom through this app).
Same again! some old apps remained.
I then tried again, wiping using the technique in the video on the RCMix page (unmounting certain options in clockwork recovery screen).
Same again!
I carried on with the old apps still there, though have since uninstalled them for good measure.
Also, when I restored from the Titanium backup it annoyingly didn't link them back up with the market - I believe this is possible, but only with the paid version of Titanium.
If I hit any issues I'll let you know

Just a note about flashing radios. You may wan't to flash the recommended radio (pretty much the same for all ROMs these days) basically due to the fact that the chefs built their ROMs around that radio, and they know the optimisations are built for that one.
I have noticed some realy significance in battery drain when using an unmatched Radio when i thought i knew better than the Chef.
But gratz on your new ROM hope you enjoy being one of the free

Thanks for pointing that out wbbigdave, I wouldn't have taken that into consideration. I'll have a look at flashing the recommended radio tonight.
Cheers,
Grim.

[Q] advice on flashing new rom

I have just recently rooted and s-off my desire HD and now i'm looking to flash a new rom.
Do I need to wipe the phone before I flash a new one?
do I need to flash a new radio as well?
This is my first time doing this.
also could you suggest a rom that is stable and will give better battery life.

Android Revolution HD is popular among these forums. Very stable and excellent battery life.
You will need to wipe the phone as you are coming from a different ROM. Had you been coming from the same ROM albeit an earlier version, then you wouldnt need to wipe. In all other cases you do need to wipe.
You do not need to flash a radio unless you are having problems with the current one. This is because flashing a radio has a much greater risk of causing problems than flashing a ROM does. Therefore try to keep radio flashing to a minimum. Although it is recommended to flash the recommended radio for each ROM you install. Most of the time however the same radio is recommended for many ROMS.
If you need any help with the steps just ask and we will do our best to help

Android Revolution HD? That would require a full wipe, a new radio for a better battery life. (All given in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=840040)
Looks like I'm slow

I have had a look on the android revolution hd rom page, and according to how I read things, am I right in thinking that I would have to flash the radio on this page to be compatible with the rom?
I read somewhere that if the rom is not compatible with the radio you can run into major problems.
how would I check if my existing radio is compatible with this or any other rom.
since I am new to this, I would rather not flash a new radio till I become more confident in what i am doing.
I have read the rom flashing guide, and the process seems straight forward, but its the radio and rom compatible issues that i am concerned about as I do not want to brick my phone.

Both work, I flashed radio first but many people also flashed Rom first, no problems.
Regarding competibility of ARHD and stock radio, it is compatible, just that you may suffer some battery loss etc

WiFi issues
Hi there,
i'm new to xda, but not new in getting root, flashing ROMs, Radios, Recovery etc...
My problem ist the WiFi connection, connection is very bad, i cannot go far away from the WiFi Router/Access Point. The singnal is getting lost very very fast. I have a second Desire here with pre-rooted stock GB ROM, there it is much better!
Here some information about my device:
Runnymede AIO 6.0.4.1 (Had same issue in all versions before)
Droidzone Kernel from Aroma Installer
Newest Radio!
Stock HBoot with APP2SD
Did someone have the same problems and a solution for me? Maybe another Kernel? Or shoud i try another Sense 3.5 ROM (insertcoin, RSK, ...?) I don't linke AOSP and ICS is too buggy for me.

I'm fairly new to this and only had this ROM installed for a few days (so experts, please feel free to correct me if I am wrong), but this ROM has a form of A2SD built into it that operates automatically. Provided that your ext4 partition is 1GB+, you should have plenty of room for your apps without changing hboots. Just an idea if you don't want to go to the trouble of researching this extra step.
