New Breed of Desires

Howdy Guys
A few days ago a mate of mine employed me to help him root his new toy. After doing mine multiple times (for various reasons) it was supposed to a piece of cake.
My method (I may have missed a point or two but you get the main idea):
1. Unrevoked
2. Install Titanium Backup, full backup
3. Copy entire SD contents
4. Install Rom Manager / Partition SD Card
5. Copy rom over to SD Card and install
6. Upgrade radio
7. From rom restore stuffs and go nuts
(optional but wanted to do)
8. S-OFF via bootable USB stick
Anyway turns out almost every step of the way was hampered because of new hardware. Here's the HBoot screen details:

HBOOT-0.93.0001
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.09.05.30_2

For anyone else that has a desire with these specs please save yourself a lot of time and "oh ****" moments and know the following:
- Clockwork recovery will not work, you need to flash ArmonRa via the SDK with fastboot.exe OR via Unrevoked, before plugging in your phone go File > Choose alternate recovery and link it to AmonRa which you downloaded.
- Rom manager will not work (as it relies on ClockworkRecovery)
- SD Card partitioning and Upgrading to EXT3 needs to be done in AmonRa Recovery.
- Current S-OFF methods will not work and will send black lines across your HTC Boot splash screen. S-OFF tool reports failure at step 3. Ripping the battery and then restoring via recovery is the only fix.
Cheers.

I have a pvt4 and use clockwork

Sounds bad...But it should not take much time till there is a working solution for this

i have that type of desire.
and i have encounter no problem on rooting unrevoked /s-off with alphaville 1.5
i have used various roms (auraXsense and hd roms Rcmix, ownhere dhd)
used amonra and clockmodwork....at least 30 times
i have used 3,4 radio versions and upgraded to the latest 5.11.05.27
everything works and stable with richard v5f kernel and rcmix 14 + set cpu....
and they are working.
it is exactly your specification
except that now mine is S-off.
spec seems the same except
Bravo Pvt3 ship S-off but maybe is from the s-off procedure

really i do not know if it was before pvt4 or what pvt3/4 means...
anyway i want to know considering maybe i will encounter future desire and maybe you are right... and it is possible that they are not working.
you cold try a Ruu update and try again the all process maybe something went wrong somewhere

You not seen the rather LARGE thread in General about this??

I have the same specs on my Desire and the latest clockwork(2.5.1.2) works. I'm not S-Off.
I flashed 6-7 roms with no problems.
I didn't use RomManager,so I don't know, but partitioned the sd card from recovery, under advanced options with no problems.

Only happens on some PVT4 devices (two different types), and there is already a thread about this.
My PVT4 has clockwork, S-OFF, root, custom splash1, etc.

Yea there is definitely a new model i have the same problems. Clockwork Recovery dont work only Amon Ra and Alpharev dont work either. Stops at step 3 everytime saying:
"Could not push the initial files during step 1. this is most likely a permissions error on your data partition.
We have tried our best to circumvent this, but most likely your ROM is either not rooted properly, causing failure.
Your best option is to backup everything, and flash a custom ROM that is properly rooted and has ADB root.
Remember: your HBOOT is NOT S-OFF, and it is not bricked."

[Q] HTC Desire - S-OFF/Root after ROM install with freezing!!!

Hi All,
I hope somebody can help me in case of following issue.
After some months I decided I try to install "not original ROM" to the phone.
After I read many instructions I started S-Off (Software: Alpharevx) root (Software: Unrevoked) - I didn't have any special problem with them based on the instructions.
After that I see following in Hboot menu of the phone:
"BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.93.1002
MICROP-051d
TOUCHPANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.11.05.27
AUG 10 2010, 17:52:18"
I chose more ROMs to decide which is the best for me. I installed the first one, the phone restarted and it was frozen at the "HTC logo" (with white screen).
I thought the ROM is wrong, so I tried all, but I met same problem.
One time the system (android) loaded and started, but after the first restart it was also frozen at the "HTC logo". I installed back the original ROM, and it works well.
My questions: What did I do wrong or why it freeze always? I forgot one step, etc.?
Thank you for the help!

You probably forgot to partition SD Card, most ROM's requires ext2/3/4 partition usually 512MB+, though some needs 1gb+.
There is loads of partitioning guides, i advice to do it with gParted, if you're not comfortable with linux then try recovery from my signature, you'll do it with few clicks.
If you dont know how to flash recovery, download this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=661317&stc=1&d=1311251519
Put it onto your sdcard (not any folders, just root of the SD), rename it to "PB99IMG.zip" or PB99IMG if you have file extensions disabled in windows, and boot into bootloader. (hold vol- and power)
Will ask if you want to update, accept. Go into recovery and make an 1GB EXT3 partition, now flash the ROM you want.
Ofcourse full wipe/factory reset and dalvik cache wipe before you flash new ROM.

Yeah, I also like to use fastboot commander (requires java JDK) to wipe boot, system, userdata, cache and sd-ext.. it's a more extensive wipe than just wiping userdata/ factory reset and ROM's either always seem to work better or it's maybe just a placebo effect

I think the version of the RADIO is old.
I have a new, but I do not know how to install it.
I would like to ask for help.
What programs do i need and where can I download it.
Thank you very much.

use the links in the post above to get fastboot commander, and a newer radio (from official GB update) is in my signature.
Download fastboot commander, boot into fastboot mode, select radio, browse for the radio.img then flash radio. And you're done, it takes a few seconds and I have to remind you to check the md5 because you can brick your phone if it goes bad. so do not interrupt it.

Hi All,
Now my phone works well...

[Q] HTC Desire not booting after theme installed

I installed a neondroid theme from this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=554028 from the SD card through recovery mode, rebooted my phone, and it won't boot to the wallpaper.
It's supposed to show the joker with s-off on it for a few seconds then go off then my network provider shows then my wallpaper.
It just stays at the joker then a black line appears on screen.
Any ideas how I can get my phone functioning again??
img flashing won't work as i get a CID error, just in case anyone suggests anything. I don't know how to overcome this cid error.

Reboot into recovery, go to mounts and storage and ersae everything apart from sdcard, then restore backup. Should fix it.

I have no recovery file. Is there a copy somewhere i could use?

You should always work with backup in the recovery, before flashing anything.
One thing you might try: Get the zip of your current ROM (not the Theme) and flash it right over...
And be patient: first boot always takes some time.

To get rid of of the cid error, you need either create goldcard with ubuntu or use the appropriate ruu from your provider (make sure this one is not too old).
Which rom are you running? As far as I understand, this theme is for only cyanogenmod 4.0.4.

[Q] S-ON stuck on bootloop

Hi,
My HTC desire is stuck on boot loop.
I tried various options:
1. clear storage and reboot
2. remove sim and reboot
3. remove sim and sd card and reboot
4. Flashed Android gingerbread upgrade (2.3.3) ROM (using goldcard) and reboot
My phone is still stuck on boot loop.

Can i try to downgrade HBOOT and flash Stock Froyo RUU?

Update on this issue
Hi,
I tried to S-OFF using revolutionary 0.4pre4 windows, but the phone is not recognised in fastboot usb mode and i get the message "waiting for device...."
Is this phone bricked?
Thanks and regards,
Aravindan

depends on rom. maybe you have to partion your sd 1. partiton fat32 and 2. partition ext3 or ext4 (ca 1,5 GB; min 1GB max 2GB) for dalvik cache to sd

Check this guide if you haven't seen this yet.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275632

Thanks stankyou.
Yes, i tried my options based on that post.
My Phone had stock rom Gingerbread 2.3.3 with S-ON.
I tried flashing the Stock ROM and it went through fine no errors throughout the process.
But once the phone rebooted after flashing, it was still boot looping.
My phone is recognized on my laptop at HBOOT menu but when it goes into fastboot it is not recognized.

Refridgerator trick?
Going to try Refridgerator trick (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134062&page=2) today.

[Q] Problems with the ROM built on CM or do not know what it is, I'm clueless

Hi guys , I have a problem on my Desire I have S- OFF , root I did I recorded CWMRecovery with HBootem I did nothing , I work for ROM stock HBoot , so it's probably really original . Unfortunately for example this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2131790 or this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2213033 I will boot but in the first case is restarted immediately after booting up and being like, such that the boot animation and then restart X , HTC white screen appears , again and again restart X , sometimes it loads but throw me a message about the phone problem or error gapps then reboot in the second case, boot ROM , but random reboots during calls , just as in a pocket or when writing SMS just totally random but increasingly , need advice on what to do. ROM which look like JB I really like , particularly in the first reference , but it makes me what I write and what I then phone useless ...
Thanks friends for advice
And another thing, I have a sd-ext 1024 megabytes space on my SD card.
(sorry for my English = this translates from Czech google translator )

Soo, 2 questions:
1. What did you use to partition your sd-card?
2. Did you do a full wipe before installing either of those ROMs?

So, I flash a new recovery (4ext.apk) exactly as described ... Unfortunately, it led to nothing and the problem still persists exactly the same ....
"setup wizard has stopped unexpectedly" and then something else with the process gapps .... (GAPPS course I recorded exactly what they should be)
It can be a problem in this?

No problem with that.
Did you re-partition your sd-card? Follow the other parts of the guide, not only part 1.
