Sorry I'm a bit of a noob with this stuff. What is S-off and how do I get my HTC One X to that state? (I'm trying to install Android Revolution HD)
My second question is, using clockworkmod, am I able to easily switch between ROMs (eg stock/ARHD)? Cheers
S-off means that the Security off the bootloader is unlocked
u can do this tru HTCdev
Select other supported models and follow the steps.
Some warranty can be void this way so make the choice
At the moment CWM is not ready for us yet
But Paulobrien is working hard and has a interim Solution
Thanks, ARHD's saying I need '4EXT Touch Recovery' is that different to the Interim ClockworkMod Touch you've linked me to? Thanks
Don't worry about the 4EXT recovery, AFAIK it's not available yet for the One X (unless I've missed an announcement). Use paulobrien's custom recovery instead.
The reference to 4EXT is probably just text copied from one of Mike's other threads, I'm sure he'll tidy things up soon. Or maybe Max will release 4EXT Recovery for the One X and he won't need to.
Thanks again!
I've unlocked my device and have flashed interim's clockworkmod so I'm on step 3 installing the firmware package from the link, only I don't seem to have a cid (see attached) - what should I do?
It also says to place the .zip files on the root of the SD card - what directory should I put it in on the One X?

Where you place the .zip of the rom is irrelevant as long as its on the sdcard partition you can navigate to it through the interim clockworkmod.
As for the firmware package thats not a question i can answer definitively. As i had a higher firmware number installed on the factory rom, i didnt install the reccomended package (after asking the question in the ARHD thread). All works fine for me
Just remember to take a back up of the stock rom before you start trying to flash roms.

Thanks but where is the SD card partition, I don't see it in the root directory? Also how exactly do I make a backup? Thank you!!
Connect the usb cable..
Use connect drive...
open your windows file explorer ., there will be a new drive HTC Storage
Place it there

The SD card partition is what you see when you open a file explorer on your device, or when you open it as a disk drive on a computer.
Easiest thing to do is to paste the ZIP file in question into the root directory of your device, i.e. just open the device on a computer and paste without navigating any further. It should contain a lot of folders and also a PDF of the user manual.
Then, when you're going to "install" the ZIP from "sd card" via recovery, it'll be at the bottom of the list -- no further navigation required.

All good mate.
To create a backup boot into clockworkmod then go to backup/restore > backup. This will create a nandroid backup which is saved in the clockwork mod folder in the sdcard partition.
Might not be exactly that wording but thats the jist of it.

First and foremost, that guide is applicable only if you are on Android 2.1 (Eclair). If your Wildfire has the official Froyo Update, it wont work anymore, in which case, read this post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1029318
- No, Rooting wont affect anything you have. You can always get back to stock
- No, you need not connect your phone to your computer when using Titanium backup. It will create a backup on your SDCard
- The same holds for a Nandroid Backup. You need not connect your phone to your computer. It will create a backup on your SDCard
- No, Windows will do fine. Linux is not a necessity
- 'root of your sdcard' means just that. Simply paste the ROM's ZIP file to your SDCard. Do not place it any folders or subfolders on your SDCard.
- No, its not necessary to partition your SDCard to use and flash Custom ROMs
- Yes, 8GB is certainly more than sufficient. The bundled 2GB card does the job as well.
- There are two ways to repair your phone:
a) Perform a Nandroid Restore. (It can be found just below Nandroid Backup. When you take a backup, you will know it)
b) Flash an RUU. It's an EXE file containing the stock ROM Image. All RUU's can be found here:

Good Luck
Okay these are the steps I took and put as simple as possible.Some steps may be skipped depending on if you have done them or not.These are written based off my setup and what i did.
Disclaimer:Me nor Tassadar or bigsupersquid are responsible for any damage done to your phone so use at your own risk.
Multirom Install:
1.Format through cwm your sd card to have an ext(Recommended 512 mb)
2.Download the two zips from bigsupersquid posted here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20626123#post20626123
3.Place them both onto your sd card.
4.Boot into cwm and flash the cwm zip you downloaded from squid's thread.
5.Now reboot your phone and then boot again into cwm(It should have blue text if it flashed correctly and the multirom option)
6.Now I highly recommend you make a backup of your current rom just in case anything goes wrong.(I made a copy of it onto my pc as well.)
7.Now flash the other zip titled "Multirom..." and wait for it to install.Now reboot to see if it boots.If boots then everything has been done correctly.
Rom on SD Card setup/install:
For this I have install on phone the latest build of cm for oV and will be using the same rom to setup on sd card just for test.
1.Now here Make another backup of your current rom through recovery(Will be used trust me)
2.Now flash the rom you want to use on sd card.(If using a 2.3 rom then the sd card crom msu also be 2.3 and vice versa for 2.2 roms).Reboot phone(a must so dalvik is created correctly).(Make sure to do the appropriate steps fro flash rom like wiping etc.)
3.Reboot back into recovery.Go to multirom and select "Create from current rom". (flash the multirom zip again if it says folder not found)(ROM on the sdcard is placed in /sd-ext/multirom/rom/).
4.After it finished you can go ahead and restore the backup you made in step 1. and the reboot after finished and wait until boot manager shows up.
5.Select boot from sd card and it should boot into the rom you chose to install to sd.(If it doesn't then you did one of the steps wrong).
6.That's it you now have multirom booting enjoy it !
MultiROM recovery menu description:
Active/deactive state is for recovery only, you can boot ROMs from backup in boot manager - that means its N-times boot rather than dual-boot.
When not active(boot from internal memory):
Activate (move from backup) - when you already have backup, this will move it to active folder (fast).
Activate (copy from backup) - same as above, but it copies it instead of moving
Create from current ROM - pretty self-explanatory
When active(boot from sdcard):
Deactivate (move to backup) - Moves current ROM to backup folder, so next boot will be from internal memory
Backup - Creates backup of current ROM
Erase current ROM - Deletes current rom, next boot will be from internal memory
Copy modules from int mem - Copies modules from ROM in internal memory to SDcard. Try this if WiFi does not work in SDcard ROM.

Well pros would be you can dual boot between roms.Cons would be not many different roms since most are based off cm7 lol
why would i want to switch on the go from roms? im not being a **** or anything just wondering why someone would want to do that.

If you flash the recovery image using flash_image while booted into android, I think it's safe to say just about zero.

Something was not working right because a couple people using the multi recovery couldnt get rzrecovery to install. Not sure if they got IHO installed or not. I have a feeling something is not allowing flash_image to work properly with that recovery.
I just wanted to see what the devs of this recovery thought.

2/ Make a Nandroid backup
3/ Using ES File Explorer backup all apps to SD card
4/ Place MTD Partition files on SD card along with PG76IMG.zip extracted from RUU file
5/ Reboot to recovery and run recovery portion of MTD partitioning scripts with MTD set to 260 35
Clear Data, Cache, and System
6/ Reboot to recovery
7/ Run boot portion of recovery script
8/ Power down
9/ Run PG76IMG.zip at hboot and update everything
10/ Power down
11/ Remove PG76IMG.zip from SD card and replace it with Alquez's PG76IMG.zip that is clockwork recovery 5.0.2.6
12/ Place root.zip from the rooting section of general on on the SD card
Boot to hboot using power and down volume
12/ Run recovery update
13/ Power down
14/ Reboot to Hboot again and choose recovery
15/ Install zip from SD card and choose root.zip

Hi there, I have a question. Since I have upgraded both RUU from your post is there a way we can flash latest firmware 2.26 and not lose s-off?
++++++++++++++++++++
All I did is check software update it download about 25mb. Then I click apply from the menu that come after download complete. It took several restart and upgrade my system flawlessly. I had Hboot-1.09.0099 after that. I flashed hboot 1.08.0000 from the previous rom u posted.
I think this two post should be combined.
I started with hboot 0.90.0000 that is the most important thing. hboot 0.90.000o is not compatible to many RUU. I bricked my phone twice now. LOL anyways
Hi Chiefs!
I am a newbie to rooting, planting, flashing etc etc however, to avoid frustrations from your end here are some of the first things that i have done.
I have read through the below links:
[cant post urls but its basically guides to rooting desire from xda forums]
I am using a Desire from Starhub in Singapore. I have recently upgraded to gingerbread 2.3.3 after which i realized that I should have not done that but anyway, now that it is done, I am now:
Revolutionary Now it is (Alpharev unlock)

MICROP-031d

I believe i should be able to install ICS now but when i download the ICS and rename as PB99IMG.ZIP and install it unzips and after parsing returns back to the hboot menu.
I must say confess that I may not have rooted correctly, because when i try and ls files in directories like cache, root or command I get permission errors.
Some help would be really appreciated, its just the sheer kick of being able to do it that drives me to post here.
You have to flash the zip-file from Recovery.
Check Tutorial(s) in Development-Section.

I tried that too sir .. but from recovery when I select the 'Apply update from SD card' it does not work, there is just a standard message 'rebooting with reason code' and something like 'unable to open /cache/command/...' and it reboots

nandroid backup first:
backup and restore -> backup
then full wipe:
wipe data/factory reset
then flash ROM:
install zip from sd card --> choose zip from sd card
(choose the correct ROM.zip)
'apply update from SD card' is something else.
First you have to partition your SD card. Go in the Recovery to 'advanced' and then 'partition sd card'. Choose 1GB EXT4 and 128MB SWAP... (all your files on the SD card will be deleted... maybe you have to secure them first). Then put the File with an SD card adapter on the sd (if you have one... if you don't have one and youre unable to boot complietly into the system, try without partitioning). When the file is on your sd boot into recovery...You have To choose 'install zip from sd-card' Or something like that... Then navigate To the folder where the ICS file is. Choose The file and here you are!!!

good point, though check each ROMs requirement if an ext partition is required. most will indicate a recommended size depends on how many apps you need, but most do not require a swap partition.
it's also better to use gparted to partition:
- backup your sd card first to PC,
- partition using gparted (search for a guide here somewhere)
- copy contents back to sd card, including ROM.zip
- nandroid backup, full wipe and install as above.
OK, looking at your help below i think i am sure that is something missing, and i definitely need help to figure that out ..
Firstly in recovery mode i dont get 'install zip from sd card' option.
I tried a full wipe and wipe data/factory reset, the zip stops at the same plc
BTW some other symptoms that gives me a feeling that i have not rooted completely or properly:
i installed SuperSU from chainfire and when i try to open it it says
There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannotinstall it. This is the problem.
ROM Toolbox pro also says the same thing, 'failed to obtain root access'
ROM Manager also says that the superuser was not found at /system/bin/su or /system/xbin/su
i am using a windows xp laptop to do all the circus. If it is of any help, chiefs dont have to worry about backup and / or bricking my phone

are you sure you can't see 'install zip from sd card'??? it's the 3rd/4th option down in the main menu when you first boot into recovery. how are you even installing the zip when you say it stops at the same place?

you probably didn't/haven't read all of the documentation, you need to flash superuser.zip. (flash the zip the same way as instructed above).
this however only roots your existing stock rom. you only need to do this if you want to backup apps and data (using something like Titanium Backup), and want to transfer them to a new rom.
whichever rom you end up using, DO NOT use ROM manager, it has been known to cause many problems with this phone, you don't need it.
check the rom thread if it requires an sd partition (most do), and set it up before installing the rom like i said above. also have a look at step 5 here
eddiehk6, you are right, I had never been to the this link for revolutionary ROM, i downloaded it from else where. After installing the correct this I understand what it means to have a 'different' recovery from the standard one that comes with the phone.
Most of the stuff went well after that including the installation of the latest ROM from sandvoid.
The problem is that after I restarted the phone after completing the installation, I see this "blue sparks flying from both sides of my screen to the center" splash, its been 10 minutes and how long should i let this go? Did i brick my phone? Argh! So close ...
ostyme electric
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! WOOT WOOT!
I just took out the battery and put it back and restarted to recovery mode, wiped dalvik cache and cache, (As usual super hasty and never RTFM) again!
Thank you all!

htc sync will only work with sense roms. i don't know what process you're seeing.
this is why we have gmail to sync contacts and calendar.
i know you're excited to have ICS, but remember it's still a beta rom, so there will be some issues as it's still being developed. you may not be able to post there yet, but you can still read the thread.
reading back i think you need to slow down a little. the key is reading, learning, understanding...before you do anything.
and google is your best friend , you can try it now to find out how to sync your contacts / calendar to gmail

Hi,
I'm new here and I'd like to install a new ROM on my Gio but I want to make sure I know what I'm doing before trying something and bricking my phone. :angel:
ClockWorkMod
I installed CWM v5.2.0.6 (followed the instructions here). Is this ok, or do I need to install v5.0.2.7? And if I do need a newer version, is there a way to get an update or do I have to follow the same steps as before?
1.Download the CWM 5.0 v2 and copy to the Root (not in any folder) of your SD card
2. Put your phone in recovery Mode(press: Home button + Power button toghether)
3. In recovery mode, select the downloaded file from SD-card(Use Volume keys to navigate and home button for enter).
4. Search for the root gb updated.zip file on your SD-card
5. Run the update
6. Reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I tried creating a backup with the CWM version I have, but I get this error: "Can't mount /system".
CWM does create a folder in sdcard/ clockworkmod/ backup/ date, but it only contains the following files:
recovery.img and boot.img.
However, this post says I should actually have more files in the backup folder:
.android_secure.vfat.tar ,boot.img , cache.ext4.tar , data.ext4.tar , nandroid.md5 , recovery.img, system.ext4.tar.
Is this because of my CWM version? Or maybe because I still have the operating system that came with my device (+updates)?
What I really want to know is: can I rely on this backup, will it work?
ROMs
I want to install CM10.1.5 from here, but I have many questions and I don't really know where to look for answers. (Sorry, I really am a complete noob.)
What's the difference between androidarmv6 jenkins build and mardon build? And what's the difference between the 3 versions? Can I just install the Version with CM-Superuser and not worry about it?
Should the updates be installed via CWM - apply update from SDcard? What about the additions - CWM --> install zip from SDcard?
How can I install extras if they are "not CWM flashable"?
What happens to my apps when I install a new ROM? Do I have to install them all again? Is all data lost? Or will they all be restored from my google account and the SD card or something like that?
Finally, how can I use the ext2 partition in my SDcard to install apps? Is this function included in the ROM? Or do I need to install something else? a2sd darktremor? If yes, how (I find the instructions here confusing and overwhelming, and the post is old, so probably outdated)? Or should I use the "Link2SD" addition to the ROM?
I'm sorry for asking so much, but I'm feeling kind of lost.
Thanks in advance.
Anyone?
I've continued trying to figure things out when I have time. I'll post what I find in this thread, in case someone else comes here looking for answers to similar doubts/problems.
In trying to understand what's going on with ClockWorkMod Recovery, I found this very useful link:
wwwDOTtechbiiDOTcom / cwm-recovery-cant-mount-system-error-solution-how-to/
(sorry for the DOTs and spaces, can't post outside links yet)
CWM Recovery – Can’t Mount System Error Solution [How To]
(...)
The error is an expected one and happens generally when you are trying to backup a stock ROM using the clock work mod recovery. Please, note that you can’t do a completed nandroid backup of a stock firmwares. So, just install any custom ROM and then you can backup and restore anytime.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If I understood correctly, the best (only?) way to return to stock ROM is to install Odin or similar firmware flashing tool and to get the stock firmware from sites like sammobile.com and sampro.pl. However, it also says that not all firmwares might be available and I haven't looked more into it all of this yet.

Yes, I used the instructions there to root my phone and install CWM (v5.0.2.6), but that thread is 2 years old, so I'm afraid it won't be up to date in relation to certain things. For example, I did create an ext2 partition on my SD card using those instructions, but I found an easier way to move apps from my phone to the SDcard (using the link2SD app, available on Google Play). The information about ROMs is also not up to date.
If you want to install a custom rom just
-wipe data factory reset
-wipe cache partition
-advance>wipe dalvik cache
-install zip from sdcard
-reboot
NOTE: the zip is the rom
