[Q] Can an S-OFF Desire help any dev's? I have one now.

Okay, YES I know this is on the limit for this sub-forum, but give me a minute to explain...
1. I have no Desire experience, hang out in the Nexus forums myself
2. I have an S-OFF Desire at the moment
3. I have no idea if this is commonly available or even useful
4. I SEARCHED (want the list: "s-off", "s-on", "unlocked bootloader", "bootloader", "unlocked H-BOOT", "H-BOOT", "is this worth my time", etc)
...and I only want relevant attention for 12 hours or so...
So, mods and peeps, bear with me... either please politely say "no" and close the thread or say "yes" and pm me.
gracis

it must usefull if you can clone the SPL out

If you could dump the hboot, it would definitely be worth a quick prod and a poke to see if its any use!

We need a dump of this!

i hope this is useful and maybe a step forward to unlocking nand

This is fantastic. Its absolutely brilliant, Amazing, Beautiful that we found a device with S-OFF.

Yes, thanks although I know all of that (I make a quite popular rom for the Nexus)... I need the spl instructions... I have an offer for assistance on this tomorrow.

a simialr thread posted for the n1,

Just the android text with slight shimmer... nothing too exciting...
Had a look at the post... nothing new I'm afraid...

Without know to much about it, i might think you need to use dump_image to dump the address block of the spl.
The nand architecture address layout might already be known.

It's short for security off. A hboot with s-off will allow us to flash and boot custom images trough fastboot. Fastboot can be accessed by booting the phone while holding down the back key. Hboot is the second deepest partition on an Android phone, only beaten by the radio, radio bootloader is almost never used flashing from.
Things it can do for us... the most important command in fastboot is the boot command. It's not really helpful for end users, but developers can use it to boot their custom images before flashing to see if it works with the phone without risking anything. Since it's deeper than recovery it may give us write access to the system partition while normal booted (?). Hboot is also often called SPL (maybe not on desire, but at least on other devices), a hboot with security disabled is often called engineering's SPL.
My knowledge on this is mainly based on other devices. Some may be wrong or misleading. If anyone sees something wrong, please let me know.

I think its not the problem to extract the spl and patch it to s-off the problem is to flash it (it must be signed) or the SPL partition is r/o there some German users that ere very near to System r/w just wait they will post it!

This has nothing to do with hboot. His CID is most likely set to supercid, eg 11111111.
S-off allows non-signature rom flashing, full rw nand access.
@ts: could you come on irc? Irc.freenode.net , ny nick is IEF.
I'm part of a team thats investigating this. Info from your phone
WILL help a lot! Just pm me asap please

Okay, have now slept...
So, it seems this is indeed relevant for this sub-forum so I'll reply here rather than via pm.
Where I am:
have root
have new radio
have fastboot access
do not have adb access
can not flash any kernels here in XDA
I'm not a muppet and have adb working fine for my Nexus but for the life of me can not get it working on this Desire. HTC Sync does not recognise the phone as connected in any mode (Win7 & XP). I've used the Google and HTC drivers. I've used driver tools to remove the registry entries and reconnect phone, no joy. Although I do get "HTC Android Phone USB Disk".
I can't flash a kernel via a recovery .zip. In fact, even if I flash a rom from here on XDA the kernel fails to install. Bad block are reported on the boot partition which I realise is common. This does however mean that if I install a custom kernel to get a dump it will have to be VERY small.
I've had a few questions asking if I'm willing to dump it. Well, of course I am, that's why I posted...
I am trying to secure the device for the weekend EDIT: I have the phone for the weekend.

[Q] ***LOCKED***Security Warning on bootloader

Hi all,
I have tired to flash the new Rom yesterday and during checking the signature device reboot and installer said that it can not proceed.
After reboot phone goes directly into fastboot and gives ***Locked*** with Security Warning massage. I have tried different RUU but it is exactly the same.
Installation is failing on the checking signature. Please help.

You're in the wrong place buddy, this is the Bravo forum.

Holy ****. Stop what you are doing. You are on the wrong section. This is for HTC DESIRE code name BRAVO. What you have is HTC DESIRE S aka SAGA. Although revolutionary supports SAGA, it's better you get help from the right device forum.

[PLEASE HELP] no my apps, market, cant install apps etc

just got HTC wildfire today, and it is firmware 2.1-update1 baseband 13.51 kernel 2.6.29 buildnumber 1.06.xx softwarenumber 1.06.xx and browser version webkit 3.1
my problem is i think its not really a htc normal firmware rather a dev firmware (i think) because there is a icon called devtools. apart from that it doesnt have market, my apps,scenes in personalize option crashes if i click them, no weather etc widgets, no file browser, cant install any apps which are transfered from PC, if i download from web browser of htc it doesnt reconigizes the package...
in simple words cant do any thing more than the pre installed apps which are also not all..
please tell me whats the issue.. im a first time HTC user.. loved iphone wayyy better atleast it wasnt that complicated..
please tell me how to get all apps back and fix crashes
i tried software update option but it was stuck on checking for 30 mins... tried many times.. no luck
so also need to know any other alternative method
and what version can this phone can support latest that doesnt lag and is also good...
PLEASE help me guys
Thanks

just to add... my phone itself it fine.. i mean wifi, calls, sms, bluetooth camera etc everything is working.. i dont see any hardware issue.. all i see is software issue, so please tell me the solution..
also i saw HTC wildfire some saying its HTC BUZZ and some saying its desire mini.. what is it actually? i simply have HTC WILDFIRE

If you flash the ruu for your phone you should be sorted.
You can find a list of RUU's, instructions and troubleshooting info here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275680

Woh!!! Hold on there,let's not jump into an ruu straight away !!! We need more info..... can we get bootloader info for starters ? Power phone off then hold volume button down and then still holding vol down press power button.......inform us what you see on the next screen. At first impressions I would suggest first trying a gapps flash,but let's wait.

thanks for replying.. so you saying its the firmware issue...

His rom is booting per op so I would assume he can get into bootloader. It is the first day he has the phone. He hasnt asked about rooting so why not flash an ruu? Seems like the simplest solution to me unless he wants to root.

Ok,I know he didn't mention anything about rooting but do you know of any stock Rom that has devtools app !! No nor do I ,so I'm guessing he is on cm7. Also now with more info we can see that he has a strange bootloader,I've not seen before either.
So which ruu are you going to recommend with his hboot ?

what does rooting means? and what are the advanages..???
i want a normal phone that has 7 different desktops witha weather widget (this has just 3), market google play , can install apps and do all the things that a normal htc user can do...
rightnow i can just use the apps that are preinstalled and nothing more...
this really sucks...
tell me did i get a faulty OS?

Can you tell me what the front of your phone looks like? Under your screen you should have a set of soft buttons which are, home key,menu,back button and then a magnifying search icon button ? Under them you should have a round trackball button yes ?
Jokerdroid

Like this.....

Mfg is an abbreviation for manufacturers warranty. Its probably expired by now though if the phone is secondhand.

Good point I don't know about that strange hboot. If he is s-on (which is unclear strangely) and locked to a particular carrier he will need an ruu with a cid that matches his phone. I would personally go with a froyo WWE Rom and see if he gets a cid error and if so try to find out the cid of the phone which I think you can do via fastboot.
It might be cm7 if the phone is second hand.
OP - from your bootloader screen, choose recovery (vol buttons for up and down, power to select) and tell us what it looks like. Also do you have an app called superuser in your app drawer?

yes please, hans moleman, you seem to be one of the "shoot first - ask later" type
It's kindly appreciated by everyone in the forum - those who seek for help and those who want to help - that you try your best. But please - before you suggest a RUU (which really could do a lot of harm in many cases) try to find out what's the problem, what hardware/software is involved, s-on/s-off etc etc - you mention it yourself: you have no idea about the HBOOT version - nor do I. And we already had that problem with a HBOOT version that looked at least similar to the known Buzz values - in the end it has been a bee and it looks like it's bricked due to an RUU...
Back to the topic: your latest suggestion was better
So texh could you try to do the following
- power your phone off
- press "volume down" and "power" and keep holding until something happens
- write down all the contents of the screen you get there

What are you talking about? an ruu is much safer than rooting and flashing custom roms. The ruu program carries out a lot of checks before flashing. It won't flash if the device id or cid don't match and it also checks the HTC signature before flashing. It is HTC's own software.
So is flashing an RUU not going to help? If not what do you think will help? The phone is not rooted, he cannot access recovery, I don't think he cares about root access so why risk it. He just wants to get his phone working.
Look back at the earlier posts if you want to see his hboot. It says buzz. And as said before if it is not a buzz, a buzz ruu will return a device id error.

That error pic isnt really an error but more a warning to say don't go any further, if you press vol up+power on that screen it should take you to the stock recovery i think. Not much to do in there though as its noobproofed........
Is it a desire a, i seem to remember some people from south america i think having problems getting root a long time ago on what was believed to be a wildfire but wasn't.
Check under the battery to see if it says desire a, I'll see if i can find a link to the topic if it is.
Edit: forget the desire a part i just found the topic and the hboot info is different to yours so i don't think its that. And hans is correct about ruu if it isn't a buzz or it needs a certain ruu it will give an error and stop the flash.

this hasn't been absolutely clear as he reported having dev tools showing up which is not part of the stock HTC ROM IIRC - BTW you mentioned yourself that it's unclear if he's s-on or s-off

IIRC it did run on a bee (not sure about the error msg but it did run on a non-Buzz)
Anyway - and again: no worries - what I just wanted to say is: let's find out more about hard- and software and the problem before suggesting the stuff that is usually known as a last attempt. This is an Android forum - I personally don't want to see something like in all those Windows noob forums where the no.1 suggestion for all problems is: "format your drive and reinstall"...

Help in solving bootloader issue

Please I have a peculiar problem, I pray you can assist me. I tried to root my telus dhd using advanced hack kit, after running the hack kit the phone failed to reboot. It stock at a blank bLack screen. To solve that, I mistakenly flash a froyo pd98img on a GB ROM. Since then, the phone takes about 20 to 30 minutes to boot. It will start with a splash screen and vibrate for about 10 minutes then takes another 10 minutes to boot. The problem is I can't enter boot loader and I can't use the hack kit again to return to stock since the phone won't reboot in the process.
I will appreciate any help. Thanks for your time.

And why exactly can't you enter the bootloader? Remove and re-insert your battery, Press Vol Down and Power button to boot into the bootloader.
Can you post the text that appears on the bootloader? Is your phone S-OFF yet?

Just make sure you read properly how to do it before proceeding. Read the guide bananagranola gave you and follow the instructions. We can help with almost anything but conquering your fear. Unless you want glevitan to connect to your computer via teamviewer and have him press 'next'.

Ok, this is what you have to do. I sent you the pastebin link in the IRC channel yesterday but afterwards attn1 told me that that solution would not work in your case. You need to flash that HBOOT in this way:

I sent the code, the phone rebooted to a black HTC screen, and has been on it for almost an hour now? Is it normal? Tanks for the help, it's appreciated.
It shows white screen now with the following information:
Ace pvt ship s-on
Hboot-0. 85.0007
Macrop -0438
Radio 26.03.04.26_m
RUU
What should I do next?

Is yours Telus too? I downloaded an RUU intending to flash it using windows, the computer detects the phone but I was afraid. I read in some forums that flashing the RUU in this situation can lead to brick! Pls advise me. Thanks for the reply

im not sure, i know that it was asian and 707.4... usualy u can't do nothing with usb because u can't turn on debbuging on your phone, with that RUU asian 707.4 u can instal rom without debbuging.. i'm not sure but if u can access hboot your dhd is not bricked and there is hope to install rom on it.. i was spent 6h reading forums to find solution for my problem

that is normal as you don´t have a RUU in your phone. Does it still take long time to boot in hboot? from there you should be able to flash a RUU as that hboot supports multiple CIDs

I don't think it worked as he is still showing the .007 boot which is froyo.
Question why wouldn't your guide work in this case? Is it because of it being the nam version(pd12000 vs pd10000)? Hboot versions not interchangeable?or something else that as mentioned in the irc

to be strictly plain I am not quite sure..but Attn1 told me that the fix in the guide will only work with just one RUU build 1.32.xxx can't remember now. So he has to flash a new hboot that will allow multiple CIDs...

Can I go ahead and flash an RUU now? If yes, can I flash any gb ruu or it has to be telus?
How do I flash it? Am I going to extract the image and place it on sd card or run the. exe file from computer.
Am highly grateful for the help. Thank you

Just one question...when you flashed the hboot did you get the OKAY.finished in the command prompt? Your is still at slow motion for booting??
If the answers to the question are: Yes. No...then you can flash an unbranded RUU and it should work. :good:

No, I didn't get OKAY in the command, It didn't show finished. The phone screen just showed black with HTC written on it for almost two hours. Then eventually it rebooted to white screen withe info I posted above. Yes it's still at the motion boot.

Then I don´t think you have flashed the hboot....the process will take 2 or 3 hours I guess. You need to get OKAY. Finished near the end to know that you have achived the goal.
If you want I can lend you a hand via teamviewer (http://www.teamviewer.com/) but you have to put the phone in fastboot usb first. When you are there just send me the ID and PASS over a Private Message (PM)...

lol, jmcclue already did, but here it is again. This is basically what you have to do:
1. Install these drivers
2. Download revolutionary from here. Unzip the file and run the exe.
Read the guide that jmcclue provided if you want to have another resource to follow.

Lol the guide i posted is a step by step guide with all the drivers u need and a guide how to install them plus su. If u cant figure it out with that guide then u shouldnt bother at all,
