I've waited for 2 hours each time but it still isn't S-OFF<
I've tried with USB and CD but both without succes.
Please can somebody help me.

Make sure you use a rom without a2sd or data2sd.
Also are you rooted?

So this one should not work?
InsertCoin 2.0.1 DATA2EXT (it's an HD rom)

No, no data2sd for sure.

you have to either flash a stock rom (without data2xxx or a2sd+) or run a RUU, root again and go s-off

As written on alpharev site, you should use a stock rooted Rom to apply s-off. During the s-off process your /data partition is used and should be save accessable. Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773997
1. make a Nandroid of your installed Rom.
2. Then flash the stock rooted one.
3. Reboot
4. Apply s-off
5. Revert your Nandroid
Done!

If it's any help I did s-off via CD and used oxygen rom - it took under 10 minutes for the whole thing. You can always change the rom after gaining s-off, although oxygen is a fantastic build!

Thanks everybody for reply so quick and for the help!!

Are you even rooted? What recovery do you have?
I think the ruu error means you need a goldcard.

PVT4 device, i Think.
Use Unrevoked 3.21, download AmonRa 2.0.1 and select it as custom image and try to flash ROMS after that.

It's a Vodafone UK Desire (or at least the ROM on it is)

Recovery, error mounting /sdcard

Hi, I have a problem, when I try to mount /sdcard in Recovery I get error mounting /sdcard, the SD-card works fine in Windows and if I use Villain ROM. Any idea whats wrong?
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium

Why do you want to mount SD card in recovery manually? If you want to use USB storage, you can enable this option with an extra option (Toggle USB-MS).

So I can install another rom from recovery

You don't need to mount SD card manually. Just flash zip.

I know but when selecting the install from zip the error comes.

Which recovery do you use?
Are you S-OFF? If yes, change to another recovery via fastboot.

S-off and clockworkmod 5.0.2.0, the original SD-card works fine.

Check a different recovery anyway, to find out if it's the SD card or the recovery.

I will do that

Another recovery did the trick

This recovery (5.0.2.0) did caused errors with me, too.
Which one have you flashed now?

I flashed to RMD recovery v 1.0.3.4 and so far no problem.

Error Mounting SD card- HTC Desire
Hi Guys,
I rooted my HTC desire few days ago and I tried to install LeeDroid HD with A2SD ROM with couple of addons through ROM Manager. And then when it installed and the phone rebooted I am getting the white screen with HTC logo folled by black screen with Android written on it. And it just stuck there.
When I started the phone into clockwork recovery mod and started to backup and restore it gives me an error E:/ Cant' mount/sdcard. Now I am stuck and need your help.
Please tell me how do I get rid of this problem and install another ROM and save my phone. A step by step guide would be really appreciated as I am new to this.
Thanks!

hi,
best quide is Mr Bortak Guide step 13, please if you can not use search button hit thanks button... He deserves it

Why are u trying to get stock recovery? you can flash a stock rooted rom, and you will probably get stock recovery or flash stock rom, you will lose root but not S-OFF.

Flash the latest ruu from your computer and root with superoneclick.

There's a game (Kingdoms at War) I've been playing I want to keep... As I've invested months in it and a titanium backup doesn't back up the data properly..
So I'd prefer ota as it keeps your apps etc....

Hmm, okay I'll see what I can find

Well i did apply a ruu but I can't booting into stock recovery just take me to a screen with a mobile with a red triangle, and 4ext recovery control says that I cot latest recovery installed. So I don't think I got stock recovery, so there is no way I can get it from my mobile.

The mobile with a red triangle is the stock recovery.

Can't you do anything in the stock recovery? Worthless recovery :thumbdown:

It's only used by ota updates to update the phone. Same with all stock recovery....
You just need to extract it using adb now then you can reflash your own favourite and post the extracted recovery here...

1. Revolutionary only, unrevoked will not work with your hboot.
2. Use 4ext recovery it's better than clockworkmod. Revolutionary will flash CWM but after rooting and rebooting just install 4ect recovery updater app from Play Store and flash recovery through it.
3. With 4ext partitioning is better, partitions are better aligned then in CWM, and you can choose which type on ext partition you want (ext3 or ext4).
But be careful, stock kernel doesn't support ext4 so you will need to flash some other kern if you want it.

+1...This is the proper way to answer this Ques. 4ext is the best recovery i've used and its so much easier to handle ROM management and has very powerful partitioning tools and some advanced features not found in other recoveries.
And for S-off, revolutionary will do the trick.

As stated: revolutionary is the easiest/fastest way to S-off

Can u plz give me guides for using 4ext recovery and partitioning by that recovery... Thanks for advise...

When you enter recovery there's an option 'tools' and inside 'partition sd'. After pressing yoi will be promped for sizes and types of partitions, choose fat32 for the first, and ext4 for first sd-ext (1-1.5GB not more) without second sd-ext and no swap.

Jst one more Que..say I made partitioning in 4ext recovery and I decided to move to CWM recovery. My SD ext partition still remain on SD card???

It will, but you don't want to move back to cwm..if it's because of ROM manager, ditch that, it will break your phone.

ICS Sandvoid on Desire - FC / Wait / Kill
I flashed my HTC desire (Stock HBOOT) with ICS (Sandvoid) 0.15.
Installed smoothly. Then I ran a2sd install and answered y/y/y (wanted to see how far I can take it
Immediate observation was that when I run some app (facebook/youtube and even some system apps) it used to hand throw up a screen that app is not responding and option to WAIT / KILL etc
If I wait usually the app would come back but it was nagging too much.
My question is if I get a class 6+ SD card would this issue disappear?
By the way, it was beautiful to see ICS on my desire and I want to go there again.
For now shifted to Oxygen 2.3.2 with HBOOT oxygen r2. wondering if it also has an option to move data 2 ext inbuilt? tried a2sd install did not work (I know its inbuilt etc etc)

You need app2sd which can move your application and data to the partition or you use INT2SD which mounts the 1GB partition as internal memory where all the installations will be made. But therefore you need another ROM which supports that.

On factory build that's rooted the only thing that can be used is link2sd app from the market because it's kernel doesn't have init.d support. Flash some other kernel and some a2sd method (for your case with factory build I suggest darktremor a2sd), or choose some custom rom with built-in a2sd script.

Flash some other kernel from recovery, any of Droidzone for example, and you should get ext4 support.
After that flash boot.img that I attached you via fastboot (I modded for init.d support while I was using factory firmware. and then without reboot go to recovery and flash Darktremor a2sd script. After that reboot the phone and if it boots follow Darktremor instruction for a2sd that you found.
