ADB driver

Hi guys.
I have a question..
I want to get s-off but do i need ADB driver to do it ? If yes. Can you show me how to install ADB .
THANKS

Yes, you need two "types" of drivers to ensure there are no potential driver problems:
- Download HTC Sync, Install it and Uninstall it after that. We just need the drivers.
- Hacked HBoot Drivers. Guide Here

I had followed exactly what you said but while doing it, it just said :
Acquiring root (method 1)...
Sending in Caroline...
Retrieving Caroline from certain doom...
Retrying Caroline...
Caroline failed, but had this to say: An error occurred while writing the partition.
Errors ( If any):-
mtd: not writing bad block at 0x00020000

What wrong with that ?
I got HBOOT 1.01.001

I have seen a few members get that, but have no idea what it implies. You might want to ask the Alpharev X team themselves:

How to flash the recovery?

Hi, I got the slide on taobao (chinese ebay)
It is with s-off, a strange froyo with "xda market" instead of google's and a custom recovery, 2.5.0.9 by nduoa.com
The recovery is in chinese, and I would like to get that in english...
I downloaded the clockworkmod update.zip, but I get error 2 while flashing from the recovery
I connected the phone via fastboot to flash the recovery.img, but I get this:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-espresso.img
sending 'recovery' (2964 KB)... OKAY [ 0.683s]
writing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.687s
How I could change the recovery?
edit: i solved the problem, but i would like to add that rom manager did not allow to flash the recovery, as it saw newer version flashed

You could try flashing it from terminal emulator. I forgot the command though. Just search around. Try looking in the G1 forum for the Amon RA thread and there should be the commands to flash through recovery.
EDIT:
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
the commands. Just change the name of the recovery to recovery.img (.img is the extension. make sure you don't make the file name recovery.img.img

yes! this time worked!
Thanks for the suggestion!

Redownload & reflash the rom. Be sure to wipe boot, system, data, cache, dalvik, sd-ext, and .android_secure. What recovery are you running?
And next time you may want to start your own thread or search a little further. This has nothing to do with the OP other than the fact that you're getting an error message.

[Q] Problem while trying to s-off, please help

Hi Everyone,
I just rooted my Htc Desire by using unrevoked and have superuser permissions in my app menu. Now before I would like to install a rom which I have never done before I believe I would need to turn the s-off. When I try to do that through revolutionary 0.4pre4 I am getting errors as below. I did install Htc drivers, restart my laptop & phone but still the same error keep coming up. I also downloaded the Hboot tool called alpharev but not sure what to do with it. Please guide me and I would really appreciate it.

S-Off Instructions
The AlphaRev HBOOT tool (assuming you got it from here?) from what I saw on their site is an .iso file, which you have to burn the image to a CD, then follow the instructions for the link above. My gf got a USCC Desire, so using Unrevoked/AlphaRev's Revolutionary, I was able to S-OFF and then root all at once. Pretty easy.
I have not tried the method posted in this link. It's an explanation of what to do with the .iso file.

I'm assuming you used the AlphaRevX tool? If you didn't then do so. Also, did you read the FAQ on the main page with the AlphaRevX download links? If not then I suggest you do as you've likely not installed the Android drivers that are included in the FAQ page.

This seems say all...Bad (damaged) block sectors in ur hboot internal partition..not good..ask in the revolutionary IRC channel http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=revolutionary

s-off problem
hello, i am trying to s-off my desire with revolutionary but i get the error msg :
caroline failed, but had this to say: an err occured when writing partition
errors:
mtd: not writing bad block at 0x00020000

mtd: not writing bad block at 0x00020000
mtd: not writing bad block at 0x00020000
i tried revoked too and alpharev with no luck.
i updated with the official RUU to 2.3 and the 1.02 Hboot but still the same errors.
i read it might be hardware issue.
i actually want to use the stock rom but just want to use a script/prog to increase the internal memory.
any solution to s-off? or any script that needs no root to work?
thanx!

Hi, you don't need to be s-off to flash a rom. You can just install it from clockworkmod recovery (which will have been installed during unrevoked rooting process).
