Thanks for choosing my theme.
But to answer your question... no. You must have root.
An alternative would be to look for a home app substitute such as ADW Launcher, Open Home, DX Top, etc. You wouldn't have the black bar and additional effects but it'll give a a slightly different look with some extra options.
Good luck and we'll see you again when your warranty expires.

ooh yea, ur theme is pretty cool, i wont lie its reminds me of the evo. Thing is i got this phone and it still has warrenty on it for atleast another year and since iv never really had a touch screen phone nor a phone with such a screen id rather not crack the screen or mess up the track ball and be screwed, but its pretty temping. i have a T-Mo Dash(S260 / Excaliber) iv hacked. Thanks to Xda
Heres another question for you. I dont think ill brick my phone but if i were to root my phone and someting happens couldnt i just re-flash the orignal firmware and t-mobile would never know it was rooted ?

this is soo F$#%ing annoying. i downgraded my phone installed flash recovery... backed up recovery img but thats all i can do.. " download new img " is greyed out.
Edit : i got pissed off enough to just rename the hacked recovery file "recovery-backup" replacing the real backup XD and IT WORKED

Success !
Firmware : 2.1 update 1
Kernel version : [email protected] #1
Mod Version : Cyanogen-5.0.8-DS
WOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!! it really took about 6-10 minutes to root with out having any andriod knowledge and was really 5 steps LOL download 2 files on to sd card(rec img and rom) > install flashrec > flash rec file > reboot into rec mod > wipe phone & install zip from sd... DONE ! lol
ps. i used the the 1 click method simple as hell, instead of making the goldcard ****

[Q] Desire stuck at black HTC logo screen

Hello everyone.
Last week my Desire stuck at white HTC logo screen.
Today read one thread and tried something.
downloaded this RUU and install this fastboot driver.
when i run exe my Desire and PC's screen done progress but it said failed with Error 152 and after phone wont turn on. it stuck at the black HTC logo screen with triangles on corners.
error screen on my Desire like this
{

hey i have got same problem help us..

ONLY USE THIS METHOD, IF YOU ARE HAPPY WITH WOLRD WIDE ENGLISH FROYO BEING INSTALLED
Could possibly be because your using the wrong RRU or something like that, I'm no expert and I'm not sure what your exact problem is, however I know I had that problem and this is how I fixed it.
1) Download this version of Froyo 2.2 (Latest Release From HTC)
2) Rename it to PB99IMG and place it on the Root of you SDCard on your phone.
3) Boot into HBoot by Holding Vol-Down while Powering On
4) HBoot should automatically find the PB99IMG file and start to update your phone, this will take around 30 seconds for HBoot to get ready, and find the file so be patient and don't touch anything.
Hope this helped that version of Froyo isn't rootable, so after installing search for the Desire Downgrade package on XDA for a Downgrade to Eclair which is Rootable.
*Make sure that the PB99IMG file is in .zip format, otherwise it won't work.
** The file you are downloading was made by HTC, but is hosted on a website called Shipped-Roms. They have a rubbish server (to the UK anyway) so you may experience slow downloads.
*** If you have any other problems, do not hesitate to ask me.
**** The black screen you experienced was an Error Recovery screen. Very rare, but happens in worse case scenario.
*****The thread you used to try and make your own fix, used a file designed for a different scenario. It was a wrong RRU.
******If you get an Incorrect CID Error whilst running the update you need a Goldcard, follow my easy tutorial here.

I take it you are all ignoring me? I took my time to write a detailed way on how to fix your problem however if you are not interested in trying it then how are you ever going to fix your device?

help me. i cant fix anyway.

Did you try what jaaystott said to try? Saying what you have tried will help big time otherwise were just taking wild stabs in the dark here. Be more specific other than "help, needs fixing now!!!!!!!!!".
Download this RUU, run it and read what it says. The RUU might go into recovery and fix your issue, it did for me when I had the wrong partition table. Using a Goldcard might help as well if you get the CID error.

how to using GoldCard?
Any links about it.

anyone help me?

i am waiting. anyone help me. Please

Have you tried what has been previously mentioned in this thread?
What errors are you getting?
What rom are you using?
What rom was originally on the phone?
To get help, you need to supply more details.

Ohh.. i cant do it.
i have found some way to make goldcard. but every way need phone must start froyo or another os. but my phone frozen on htc screen. it cant start os. how can i make goldcard?

Do you know anyone else with a Desire or Android phone?
You could put your sdcard in it to create the goldcard.
If you manage to get one, you could use 'gold card helper' from the market.

ok maybe i will do it. what will i do after?

Follow the instructions that are in other threads to create a goldcard.

what does this mean?

can anyone tell me why my htc desire is stuck at this screen when i put in the battery?
-- 1 minute later --
well, i can't post a pic since not allowed to link until after 8 posts
it looks like a boot screen with 3 android dudes on the bottom.
any ideas?

Your stuck at the bootloader. Means that there is no boot.img. You've done something to it. Just flash a rom and it'll be fine. Don't forget to wipe data.

ok, thats positive news so far
the things is, i think its water damage but not much water at all really. just a bit from snowing while skiing.
the power and volume buttons do not seem to respond AND the ohone turns on by itself when i insert the battery.
is it still just a case of 'flash a ROM'? or is there more?

oh, and here is the image..... finally,

You don't have root or a custom recovery, correct? You just want to go back to the stock Froyo?

I think if the power buttons don't work it may be a bit of a problem selecting options in that menu, since the power button works as "select" in that menu.
I think you could boot to recovery using command prompt, but I am not 100% sure about that.
Also, are you rooted? Do you have a custom recovery installed?

Do you have a note of which rom was installed in your device? Is it carrier locked? Branded?

Select the newest RUU that fits your phone & carrier from http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bravo/. Extract the ROM, rename to PB99IMG.zip, place in root dir of sd-card and reboot. Should do everything else automatically.

don't really follow the whole ROM question?
my phone has android v2.2, is NOT branded, is NOT locked and NO rooting.

and i should add that i am sweden if that matters.

The file you download from shipped roms is an exe file. When you execute the file it will extract a couple of files to your harddrive. Among those is a file named ROM.zip. That's the one you're looking for.
When I extracted it the file was here C:\Users\*User Name*\AppData\Local\Temp\{722DC7D5-7B69-4EBC-B6FB-B63AE38C01DE}\{50F2F878-636A-496F-A7CB-544C067E0C4B}
The ROM on shipped ROMs are all the standard carriers version that are unmodified.

Yeah but there are different versions of 2.2 depending on carriers etc, thats why I was asking!
I *think* any of the ROMS here with RUU at the beginning & WWE in the filename should work. (I am not 100% sure about this, as I have not had an official rom installed for AGES).
You will then have to follow sonoftobit's instructions I think, don't ask me how to extract the ROM though, as I don't know how to do it!
PS sonoftobit - Ignore this liquidmonkey!
If you go to the CM7 nightly thread and go to the 2nd post, Kali has a script for enabling Apps2SD. That is what I am running, tried to use S2E but it screwed things up royally and I had to restore a Nandroid!

Yeah, I had the same problems with S2E. I'm using DarkTremor App2SD now which has worked flawlessly ever since (both Sense Froyo and CM7). Also there's A2SDGUI for DarkTremor now which makes it even better.

why on earth would you write that?

so check it out!!!
i have had the phone off for a few more days and then put in the battery and BANG, it started up after a little while.
problem was that my battery only lasted 10 seconds so i was not able to fully test things.
then i put the battery in again and i was back where i started, crappy boot screen.
is there something in the phone that keeps memory of the boot screen and then disapates after a day which would explain why it started today.... or?

[Q] A noob with no understanding of Oxygen

First of all a lil history of this problem:
My girlfriend purchased this phone a while back, and then i got it from her. totally unmodded, everything worked.
after which i cave it to her friend, which is where i lost track of it.
Now. finally i have it back. and someone has installed Oxygen onto it.
Not having any knowlage of Oxygen i do not quite understand how to be rid of it, seeing as now the camera wont record video on high settings (a feature which i kind of use the phone a lot for)
I have hard reset many times and nothing has helped, my only explnation is it is Oxygen.
what do you guys think? and if so. how do i remove it?

Either install another custom rom(leedroid) via the custom recovery, which it'll also have installed.(You will still have root and the abilities it gives you)
Or run a ruu which will return it to the completely stock state.(you'll lose root)
I or someone else can help you out with both if you chose which solution you like the best.

The simplest thing you can do is find a ROM you like the look of in the Development forum, Assuming you want Sense back, you can use something like LeeDroid, if you quite like an AOSP ROM (Senseless), you can try Cyanogen it has a 'HQ' video function.
Download the ROM(s), drop them onto the SD card, turn the phone off, hold volume down and the power button and it will boot into Fastboot, choose Recovery using the volume rocker. Let it load up, wipe the phone using the trackball and selecting factory reset, or whatever it's called, clear the cache and then click install ZIP from SD option. Choose the ROM from the SD card, let it install then reboot and you'll have a fresh new Gingerbread 2.3.3 Sense ROM with HD video recording or a fresh new Gingerbread 2.3.4 AOSP ROM with HD video recording.

It might help if you read a few guides about rooting and all that. It might help you understand why and how it got there.

I did try installing another rom as far as i can tell but i think i may have gotten confused when doing it.
I just downloaded unroot-desire-froyo-2.10.exe
but unsure what to do with that.
If possible installing one of the other roms would be cool.

(sorry dont know how to double quote)
one of those would be ACE, the one with HD video sounds good. I read somewhere its harder to unroot a device from Oxygen, but im not really sure if "harder" means "impossible".
I HAVE done a small amount of research on rooting devices, i just got confused with it all.
I'm used to Jail Breaking iPods which is simple (iOS is simple?)
but HTC is a whole new ballpark for me.
thanks for any help.
and i would need a step by step on how to install Cyanogen

You don't need to understand oxygen, you just need to breath it.

I think it might be best for you to install HTC snyc and run an RUU to put it all back to stock? if you liked it that why, or like others have posted just do some research on installing roms. I have acesmod007 running on mine and it's fab and it is just like stock but with all the extra bells and whistles.

From GSM to CMDA to S-OFF

Hello,
The GSM version is not unlockable without xtc clip, but the CMDA version is. The Devices all always the same, same nand ram, but the software is another. And one big thing different, the sim slot. Cmda doesn't have on.
The GSM to CMDA UNLOCK
Flashing the CMDA version onto the GSM device:
BEFORE YOU BEGINN!:
Make your SDCard to a Goldcard! http://2fastroms.com/download/file.php?id=194&sid=62d820e4c053590a051998ced5242cf0
1) Do the same as downgrade: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1301388 (use the cmda version number: 1.37.351.1)
Q: Why?
A: Because you will get an BootLoader Error [140]
2) Download the Cmda version: http://www.filefactory.com/file/c0a...35.3029H_7.46.35.08_release_188032_signed.exe
Q: Will the Cmda version brick my phone?
A: No, because if there would be a problem the RUU will dedect it and will give an Error.
3) Plug-in your device, debugging enable, and plug only.
4) Start the Ruu and let it do itself.
Now your device is a cmda device:
Q: Will the new version bring problem with it?
A: Yes, the first thing is that you will not be able to make a call or message, sometimes the WIFI will not work and you get an error
Q: Why should I do that when i get errors?
A: This is just to get S-OFF, after the process you will get back to gsm version, so it will work everything very well.
5) If the phone starts, wait untill you can see the screen (or longer), pull out your battery.
6) Copy this files *PG76DIAG.nbh* *PG76DIAG.zip* and on your goldcard. http://2fastroms.com/download/file.php?id=193&sid=62d820e4c053590a051998ced5242cf0
7) Put the card back into the Device
8) Press "Volume Down and Power" at the same time
9) The Bootloader Screen will appear, now wait.
10) A screen will appear that says Clean s58. Press the power button once to select clean s58 and the phone will start doing it's thing and should take about a good 20 seconds until it's finished.
11) Once the process is complete then pull the battery to turn the phone off.
12) Remove the SD card from the phone, then boot into HBOOT again (VOL DWN AND POWER, if you cant remember
13) It should now say S-OFF at the top of the screen, you can now do much more with your phone. Just pull the battery and boot like normal.

What with the SIM card removed from the phone?

if this really works i might just kill myself because i thought about flashing a CDMA RUU but didn't have the balls to do it in case i bricked my phone i even googled the hell out of it and read that people converting to CDMA ro bricked there device but if this works nice on. i can see one problem tho how will users use the nightly cm7 builds there for GSM and not CDMA

Really works?

good work, but how to get gsm version back?

Could you tell us a bit more about how did you test this method

What are the chances of me bricking my phone? I'm willing to give it a go but if there's a chance of bricking it then I probably won't do it.

So, in case this would work, could I just install the latest european original htc rom again?
If yes, would it be S-On again?
Would love to test but wfs is my only phone. Maybe no.human.being could test it for he would be able to unbrick wfs if it fails using jtag. ?

But after i place DIAG files to SD
(after downgrade hboot still was 1.08.0000)
I see only HBOOT screen with
"Jumping to DIAG..." and nothing happens...
Now i downgrade HBOOT to 1.03 and flash CDMA rom again...
Sorry my english
Same problem with HBOOT 1.03, still wating on Jumping to DIAG .. screen.

Flashing a CDMA RUU on a GSM phone? Hmm... I don't think that's possible.
