New Breed of Desires

Howdy Guys
A few days ago a mate of mine employed me to help him root his new toy. After doing mine multiple times (for various reasons) it was supposed to a piece of cake.
My method (I may have missed a point or two but you get the main idea):
1. Unrevoked
2. Install Titanium Backup, full backup
3. Copy entire SD contents
4. Install Rom Manager / Partition SD Card
5. Copy rom over to SD Card and install
6. Upgrade radio
7. From rom restore stuffs and go nuts
(optional but wanted to do)
8. S-OFF via bootable USB stick
Anyway turns out almost every step of the way was hampered because of new hardware. Here's the HBoot screen details:

For anyone else that has a desire with these specs please save yourself a lot of time and "oh ****" moments and know the following:
- Clockwork recovery will not work, you need to flash ArmonRa via the SDK with fastboot.exe OR via Unrevoked, before plugging in your phone go File > Choose alternate recovery and link it to AmonRa which you downloaded.
- Rom manager will not work (as it relies on ClockworkRecovery)
- SD Card partitioning and Upgrading to EXT3 needs to be done in AmonRa Recovery.
- Current S-OFF methods will not work and will send black lines across your HTC Boot splash screen. S-OFF tool reports failure at step 3. Ripping the battery and then restoring via recovery is the only fix.
Cheers.

I have a pvt4 and use clockwork

Sounds bad...But it should not take much time till there is a working solution for this

i have that type of desire.
and i have encounter no problem on rooting unrevoked /s-off with alphaville 1.5
i have used various roms (auraXsense and hd roms Rcmix, ownhere dhd)
used amonra and clockmodwork....at least 30 times
i have used 3,4 radio versions and upgraded to the latest 5.11.05.27
everything works and stable with richard v5f kernel and rcmix 14 + set cpu....
and they are working.
it is exactly your specification
except that now mine is S-off.
spec seems the same except
Bravo Pvt3 ship S-off but maybe is from the s-off procedure

microp 051d
really i do not know if it was before pvt4 or what pvt3/4 means...
anyway i want to know considering maybe i will encounter future desire and maybe you are right... and it is possible that they are not working.
you cold try a Ruu update and try again the all process maybe something went wrong somewhere

You not seen the rather LARGE thread in General about this??

I have the same specs on my Desire and the latest clockwork(2.5.1.2) works. I'm not S-Off.
I flashed 6-7 roms with no problems.
I didn't use RomManager,so I don't know, but partitioned the sd card from recovery, under advanced options with no problems.

Only happens on some PVT4 devices (two different types), and there is already a thread about this.
My PVT4 has clockwork, S-OFF, root, custom splash1, etc.

Yea there is definitely a new model i have the same problems. Clockwork Recovery dont work only Amon Ra and Alpharev dont work either. Stops at step 3 everytime saying:
"Could not push the initial files during step 1. this is most likely a permissions error on your data partition.
We have tried our best to circumvent this, but most likely your ROM is either not rooted properly, causing failure.
Your best option is to backup everything, and flash a custom ROM that is properly rooted and has ADB root.
Remember: your HBOOT is NOT S-OFF, and it is not bricked."

[Q] S-ON stuck on bootloop

Hi,
My HTC desire is stuck on boot loop.
I tried various options:
1. clear storage and reboot
2. remove sim and reboot
3. remove sim and sd card and reboot
4. Flashed Android gingerbread upgrade (2.3.3) ROM (using goldcard) and reboot
My phone is still stuck on boot loop.

Can i try to downgrade HBOOT and flash Stock Froyo RUU?

Update on this issue
Hi,
I tried to S-OFF using revolutionary 0.4pre4 windows, but the phone is not recognised in fastboot usb mode and i get the message "waiting for device...."
Is this phone bricked?
Thanks and regards,
Aravindan

depends on rom. maybe you have to partion your sd 1. partiton fat32 and 2. partition ext3 or ext4 (ca 1,5 GB; min 1GB max 2GB) for dalvik cache to sd

Check this guide if you haven't seen this yet.

Thanks stankyou.
Yes, i tried my options based on that post.
My Phone had stock rom Gingerbread 2.3.3 with S-ON.
I tried flashing the Stock ROM and it went through fine no errors throughout the process.
But once the phone rebooted after flashing, it was still boot looping.
My phone is recognized on my laptop at HBOOT menu but when it goes into fastboot it is not recognized.

Refridgerator trick?
Going to try Refridgerator trick (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134062&page=2) today.

[Q] Desire booting into ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0 but not into OS

I S-OFFd my device and installed CyanogenMod Recovery v5.0.2.0 using the instructions from revolutionary.io. I installed the ClockworkMod ROM manager.
I don't know what i tried later, I did put PB99IMG.zip file in my SD card and i rebooted my device ---> went into the ClockworkMod recovery ---> used install from SD card option and selected the file PB99IMG.zip.
Before this ever happened when i put the zip file in my sd card and when i rebooted the phone is asked me this
Parsing..... [SD ZIP]
[1]...Bootlader
<Vol Up> Yes
<Vol Down> No
I selected Yes and it said updated. Then again i went to ClockworkMod recovery and used the install from SD card option and selected the zip file.
NOW WHENEVER I START MY PHONE ITS GOING INTO CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY, BUT NOT INTO ANDROID OS.
What should I do now??

Which hboot you tried to install using pb image?
Ditch the rom manager.

After S-OFF i dont know what were there.......
First i s-offd using revolutionary.io, then it s-offd, now i downloaded ROM manager and flashed the ClockworkMod recovery. Then i left the device like that thinking to install Runnymede AIO custom ROM. The next day I kept that PB99IMG.zip in the sd card and rebooted the phone to the main screen [i dont know whether the call it fastboot or hboot screen] then i got that parsing....[sd zip] [1]....bootlader, update? yes? no? then the rest is as I explained...........

Read the top line from the bootloader?
Also, Runnymede needs ext partition. Is your card partitioned correctly?

Do you want to start update?
<vol up> yes
<vol down> no
NOW IF I PRESS YES

[1] BOOTLOADER - OK
Update Complete....
Do you wan to reboot device?
<vol up> yes
<vol down> no

Are you flashing correct version of Runnymede? I think you could remove that zip from your card as the hboot seems flashed. I'm not sure, I use fastboot for such matters.

Re:
I didnt even try to install Runnymede.....I'm still thinking..... I guess i tried to install the cm7r2 twice.......and maybe thats the problem.........i dont know when i got the Alpharev cm7r2, maybe after installing it through PB99IMG.zip or before when i flashed it through the ClockworkMod recovery from my phone [android OS]

Mabe just try to install the ROM. Flashing the HBOOT several times should be no problem, but there could be no ROM left on your device, so it boots to Recovery. As stated on the alpharev website, flash your ROM or Nandroid restore after changing the bootloader. And you can safely remove the PB99IMG.zip from your sdcard, as the HBOOT seems to be flashed properly.
I don't know if you can even flash clockworkmod through clockworkmod (i always used fastboot for that). Maybe that corrupted your ROM. Just try to wipe and reflash.

Re: Solved
Thanks for the replies guys..........
The problem is resolved, and i successfully installed Runnymede AIO v6.0.4.1..... used the 4EXT Recovery Touch. I cannot get into hboot screen though. First after it was looping into the clockworkmod recovery, i selected install from sd card after placing the cyanogenmod 7.1.0 rom into the sd card and successfully installed it. I didnt like the ROM so i started installing 4EXT Recovery touch and removed the ROM manager.
I followed the steps in the thread pertaining to Runnymede and I installed it correctly.........
Thanks once again guys

Flashing New Recovery

Having trouble with my DHD at the moment.
Tried updating my 4EXT Recovery and now for some reason the phone boots the stock recovery screen. This is the black screen with a picture of a phone and a red triangle with an exclamation mark on it.
So I thought the best thing to do would be flash a whole new recovery onto the phone.
I can get in to H-Boot and BootLoader, but am having problems flashing a recovery.
Not the most knowledgeable with this sort of thing tbh, so this is where i need help.
I have tried downloading a version of 4EXT Recovery (not sure if i'm using the right one or not) and a ClockwordMod Recovery, placing on the root of the SD card and renamed to PB99IMG.zip (is this correct?) But the H-boot doesn't install it.
Here are the details i can provide:

MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.03.02.26_M
eMMC-boot
Oct 11 2010, 12:47:02
If anyone could tell me what i'm doing wrong or what to use instead it would be a great help!

Try renaming that file to pd98img.zip, reboot into bootloader, and when it asks you if you would like to update with the pd98img file select yes, and see if it works.

You're not supposed to wipe AFTER you install an update zip.

I have a white pvt4, too. Try to use AmonRa recovery 2.0.1

So you can't install a recovery? How do you install them? Try getting the 4ext recovery PB99IMG.zip image in my sig, and install it. Instructions in the respective thread.

Put the PB99IMG.zip on your sd-card (outside any folder), then boot in hboot, and select yes.

Alternatively, power off your smartphone.
Install the fastboot and device drivers and attach the USB from your computer to your smartphone.
Hold the volume-down button and power on to get into HBOOT.
Then simply use AndroidFlasher or another utility to flash a recovery image. You can take this opportunity to flash your ROM as well.
Also, I'd suggest using either AmonRa or 4EXT Recovery for your device as some users with the MICROP firmware version 0.51d have reported problems with using CWM.

Put the PB99IMG.zip on your sd-card (outside any folder), then boot in hboot, and select yes.

The phone should find the pb99img.zip on your sd-card. Did you put it in the root of your sd-card?

This is known error for some sdcards just backup the sdcard format it pop the file back into the root of the sdcard and try again you will find that it finds it right away. Sometimes when we partition our sdcard the phone can get confused about where to look for these files and it can miss them easily if you do as i said i can 100% guarantee it will work for you hun xx
