[Q] I have S-off with CID 11111111

hello peeps my question is what is the best way to flash roms to my device ? do i need to root my device to flash roms and do i need to flash alpharev's h-boot ? my device had CID 11111111 and S-off . thanks in advance

As you s-off just flash recovery and you are ready to go...
One question how did you get super cid?
About alpharev hboot... It depends on rom requirements but there are only for Desire Gsm aka Bravo (code name)

i think the device was shipped with super cid because i have not done anything to change cid . it all seems to be stock i brought it on ebay last week "wow luck" i think these S-off are rare ?

Not s-off but supercid on htc desire... Could you post your hboot/fastboot screen info? Just for curiosity

Very easy to do with ur sensation i just found this guide
Navigate to fastbootby pressing volume downand pressing power button to select (power off > vol down + power on) It will take you to the fastbootbootloader screen on your phone Connect your phone via USB Your Screen should now read fastbootUSB
8. enter the command "fastboot oemwritecid 11111111" 9. enter the command "fastboot reboot-bootloader (Wait for it to reboot the bootloader) 10. enter the command "fastboot getvarcid" [it should confirm your CID is 11111111] 11. enter the command "fastboot reboot" 12. You can now flash any ROM you like.

If your desire is s-off it has superCID, the hboots are patched. You will never need a goldcard for flashing a ruu.

Wrong.... supercid lets u flash any ruu whether ur phone is branded or not, s-off doesnt. Thats what the goldcard is for
Sent from my HTC Desire

Yeah I know, what I meant to say is that the hboots from alpharev are superCID patched and if you have superCID you don't need a goldcard. You actually need a goldcard if you're branded and want to install another ruu.
But not if you have superCID

Supercid DOESN'T exist on desire, alpharev hboot are patched ONLY for overwriting hboot by RUU to keep s-off (except downgrader) CID is telling branding/region which phone was dedicated to....to flash different region/branding RUU you need a goldcard which will skip cid check. Without OP hboot screen this chat is useless

what is HBOOT and RUU...?
and how could i know i am flashing the right one..?

RUU = rom upgrade utility is a program who can restore/upgrade your RUU. And HBOOT is the same as POST in windows.

Freezing ICS/JB during starting after flash

Hi,

second - after trying to install some ROMs, e.g.:

after rebooting the phone freezes on starting animation, after 15 +/- minutes reboots and it repeats forever...
any idea? is it size problem? (all ROMs are over 130MB..?)

HTC Sense 2.3 and forgot to change your hboot?
Which ROM are you actually use?
Did you install official 2.3 HTC Sense ROM using RUU after trying to install some ROMs? I think yes, because your Desire is S-ON. Did you change hboot to downgrade before you run RUU?

Currently using MIUI 2.3.7, so I didnt install official HTC Sense. No downgrade of Hboot - which version should I need? I can normally flash all 2.3.7 ROMs (CM7, MIUI,AOPK..)

So... I do not know why your Desire is S-ON (as I wrote in my previous post) and I think this is the reason. You should S-OFF your phone, I think... ;P

His phone has unlocked bootloader from htcdev, so he's still s-on.
Almost all of these roms require a sd-ext partition on sd-card and you didn't wrote anything about having it. Plus for that kind of stuff working properly I think that you need s-off, so jump to downgrading of hboot and running Revolutionary tool.

Stuck, how to update

Hello!
this is my stats on my Desire:
Hboot 0.92.00001
S-on
Clockworkmod recovery 5 (partly working)
Root
My room have totally messed up and are bugging 24/7 so I wanted to flash some roms but all roms requires like 4ext and to get that I need to partition my sd card in someway, don't know how. I cannot flash 4ext recovery becuase of s-on and revoloutonary.io doesnt support my hboot.
What do I need to do
Cheers!
Thanks!

It should be 0.92.0001 not 0.92.00001 if it is the top one you can use revolutionary just fine, else use the pb99 method to flash recovery

what and what?? the "top"1 u r on bout is hboot 0.93.0001 and the other hboot is 1.02.0001 and to flash 4ext recovery u need s-off. click desire all things root guide and alpharev in my sig to learn about all
Sent from my HTC Desire

There is a hboot 0.92.0001 . A link http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=373800&d=1281012851
If that is so then revolutionary cannot be used. I dont know whether unrevoked will work on it. Maybe best option would be to run the 2.3 RUU. Thereafter use the revolutionary path. You can flash 4Ext thereafter.
