Hey all,
I've just received an HTC Desire update (Since I'm using the stock ROM with stock radio), my phone downloaded it but it cannot install due to clockwork recovery blocking it (signature failure).
I have the .zip file. How can I customize that .zip to be able to install ?
I am rooted, with clockwork 2.5 (Version before 3.0) and have stock ROM and stock radio.
Please help.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this topic. Thank you!
Never apply OTA updates on a rooted phone
Find a rom in development and flash that.

Yeah, I found that out on the internet whilst searching for clues.
The thing is, I rather keep the HTC ROM than move onto other ROMs made by other people. It's just my preference. I just want to know how I could modify or something to allow me to install the latest OTA update.
Thanks for the reply.
You can't, simple as that
If you want the new version you'll have to unroot using the RUU and then re-root

Thanks for the quick reply buddy.
Okay, I must unroot then apply the update.
So, I must uninstall Clockwork recovery then unroot then update then root then install clockwork recovery. Is that right?
What is your software version at present?

Version; 2.10.405.2 (Froyo)
Radio; 32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14
Using this stock HTC rom => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741775
Download this and flash it:
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe
If it doesn't work, try:

http://www.multiupload.com/LEJCW182AH
Then re-root if you want but bare in mind you still won't be able to get OTA updates
if he waqnts to keep root and use stock rom why doesnt he just flash teppics stock rom?
its 2.29.405.5 base, exactly the same
he has clockweork, he can just flash it over the top
True, but they don't say they want a custom ROM
Thanks so much but (you're gonna laugh) I decided to google your ROM, eMIUI and I'm in love.
I looked at the xda topic and well it was overwhelming for my simpleton mind. I really want to install that ROM, is it safe to flash it or must I have EXT2? Cause I see some ROMs require EXT2 while others don't. I don't have EXT2 nor do I know what it is.
Sorry about my "foolishness" but I'm really interested to have the same setup as you Eddy. Tell me all about it.
Oh and since your from Merseyside, can you maybe pop by Anfield and give those excuse of football players a whack on the head for me please?
Could've just clicked the link in my signature and you'd get the page on here
As for hitting Liverpool, I would but I'm a Gooner (from London originally) so kinda funny to see them faulter - if a little sad
Regarding my setup, I have a 1Gb EXT3 partition set purely so that I don't have to worry about space in future. When I rooted with unrEVOked I flashed AmonRA as opposed to CWM as at the time you couldn't partition SD cards in CWM (think you can now). I'm using a 16Gb Class 2 SD card and it works fine.
I tried a few other ROMs before finally giving eMIUI a go and I love it and with a bit of my own work on it (purely cosmetic, nothing under the hood) it does what I want it to and I normally go to bed with 40-50% battery left whereas on stock I'd be neally out on the same usage.
he said no custom rom but tepics is just stock with root and busybox which is what he would be now anyway
anyhow hes looking into miui
Miui is nice, emiui seems to be the most stable but an EXT is needed
How do I get an EXT?
Thanks so much guys!
I'm rooted, with clockwork 2.5 and I have S-ON.
Just run the correct RUU. You have to re-root like but still. Saves farting around
I have sd-ext is that the EXT2?
I don't know, not used CWM in a long time. What version are you using. It normally says at the bottom of CWM when in recovery
I partitioned an EXT2 512MB with 128MB buffer. I'm using 1.01.07, the same link as the one in Eddy's signature. I am wondering..... how do you flash a kernal? Can I do it even with my eMIUI installed or I must wipe?
Thanks!
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.

HTC is complaining that Desire can't fully run GB with Sennse because of low RAM.
Does this mean that GB uses more RAM than Froyo?
I think you got something wrong. Gingerbread uses less rAm (random access memory) than froyo. The problem was, that it uses more space for rOm (internal phone storage) than froyo. So they had to delete some sense apps to make gingerbread appropriate for the desire's internal storage.
so I just create an SD EXT partition and all is well again, right?

No, because with the official stock gingerbread you cannot use a2sd/a2sd+. Furthermore, you need root access to use a2sd/a2sd+. And you cannot root the official gingerbread yet.

As far as I know, you cannot avoid flashing the new hboot when you flash the gingerbread update.

you can, just extract ROM.zip from RUU and delete hboot (or boot) .img from it, then flash with PB99IMG method
but why do that either already a rooted stock or fully custom

i have s-on but unlocked it with htc's unlock bootloader. how do i get s-off?
You can't get s-off yet with that method, we still need to figure it out.
To flash a kernel, pull the boot.img from the zip you want to flash, and use fastboot mode and 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' to flash the kernel.

hey nipqer,
hey guys,
I'm a noob and whatI wanted to do is having root,
i've succeeded with the htc official boot unlocker (didn't knew it was that crappy)
and using supertool (with zergrush exploit method)
now that i'm less of a noob , I 've found out that I don't have s-off
so you are 100% positive when you're saying it's not possible to have it?
is it the reason why when I want to save my current rom in rom manager it shows me a red !
and tells me: “e:can't open /cache/recovery/command”?
I want to install a new kernel for overclocking, do you confirm that what you are saying is the only method for my situation?
"to flash a kernel, pull the boot.img from the zip you want to flash, and use fastboot mode and 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' to flash the kernel."
thanks a lot.
The red triangle with ! is the stock recovery.
The htcdev method keeps recovery and boot locked, unless you flash it via fastboot.
So pulling a boot.img and 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' is the only way
(though I have heard of someone working on a recovery to defeat protection, no idea how its coming along though)
-Nipqer
thanks a lot for your answer, so that's why I can't save with rom manager right?
another question before I flash my boot.img, because i want to be sure and I didn't found a clear answer yet..
can I get a boot.img extracted from any rom for Desire z ,i'm thinking about a virtuous unity for exemple...
will that work or do I have to get a special kernel?
do I risk a brick flashing that way?
thanks
Yeah that's why rom manager won't flash a recovery.
I really advise you to use the kernel that came with the rom.
Though most aosp kernels will work with other aosp roms, and same with sense (doubt sense 2 will work with sense 3.x and such like)
Also, you may have to replace certain files in the rom for everything to work (wifi, camera, etc)
There is no brick risk
-Nipqer
ok thanks
so you advice that I dont flash the kernel at all?
what I understand is that it's way too different from the original Rom, right?
I've got a couple more questions for you if you don't mind
what if it's from a ROM that's close to sense, like the VIRTUOUS SENSE ?
and is it possible to save my kernel as a backup or not ?
it's really a pain in the ass as I only want to overclock my DZ a bit...
And I really hope someone finds a solution for that S-ON problem with the official HTC unlocker...
thanks a lot again!
Well instead of flashing just a new kernel and staying on stock rom, I'd say change the whole rom.
Virtuous Sense is just an optimized stock rom, it is real nice if you want to stay as close to stock as possible.
Though the kernel should work, if you don't want to change rom.
As for backing up your kernel, you should be able to backup boot in recovery. It's just reflashing it which is a bit of an issue.
I'm pretty sure the next version of 4ext recovery will have a feature to allow boot.img to be flashed from recovery.
how do you mean, s-on problem? If you want to get s-off you can relock your bootloader, downgrade and run gfree
-Nipqer
ok then ,I have to agree on a whole new rom as well as it makes a lot more sense.
thing is ,for some reason I'd like to backup and be able to restore my original kernel, I like the idea of coming back to stock, so I guess I will wait for 4ext.
stupid question: is it possible to have several recoveries?
I mean I already have clockworkmod recovery.
I'm talking about the lack of S-OFF for the HTC official method (it was easy but it sucks) maybe I will find some time to apply the XDA method some day...downgrades kept me from doing it(yeah I know ,I'm not the same to feel that stupid
thanks
When you downgrade its only to exploit a loophole to let you permenently root your phone. Once rooted you will then be able to upgrade to many roms, all of which will be an upgrade. As for two recoveries not at the same time but you can always change to 4ext or what have you
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
ok thanks for the reply...
for the recovery,it seems that with the 4ext updater tool even if I install a recovery from there, it's still clockworkmod...there is also 2 versions with newer recoveries for the pro one??
gonna flash it manually...

A full wipe and reflash may cure your wifi problem
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
thanks a lot,thing is I flashed the kernel only,so i guess it only works with a full rom install
I would have loved to find a kernel that's close to sense 2.1 with overclock...
The kernel may not fully be compatible with your rom, maybe try a similar custom rom with the kernel supported by the dev or try a diffrent kernel to flash over existing rom
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
Sorry about the little bit of offtopic, but I think it will be alright if I ask it here...
So, how do you flash kernel? Is it just a .zip file that can be flashed from recovery (I have S-OFF)? And will that erase all my apps and data if I already use custom ROM?
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.

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
