[Q] s-off struggle

Having difficulty achieving s-off via alpharev 1.8 with my gsm desire and wondering if anyone has any hints!
Previously 3 network branded desire, to which I have done the following:
Goldcard created via revskills
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...gold-card-for-htc-desire-without-hex-editing/
rooted with unrevoked 3.2.1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788044
SU and busybox running, and Clockworkmod recovery 2.5.0.7 installed via rom manager.
So I have burned the Alpharev 1.8 image to CD and am booting from that OK, it is detecting my phone but says it is unsupported or not recognised - all the fields such as CID: etc are empty. The "goldcard" is in the phone..
Tried recreating the goldcard via above, both from original goldcard.img and by starting over completely and retrieving the CID again. Each time the revskills goldcard tool tells me I have a goldcard!
I have not flashed any new ROMs although I intend to - I wanted to goldcard and s-off before doing this
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT 0.93.0001
MICROP 031d
RADIO 5.11.05.27
So it seems Alpharev is not able to pick up any information from my phone - is it because I have created the goldcard (and thus debranded and unlocked my phone)?
Do I need to flash a stock rom to get s-off to work?
Do I forget about s-off and just flash a new rom?
Should I see a goldcard.img file on my "goldcard" - I don't see any files right now!
Do i need to downgrade in some way?
Any help appreciated as I am a bit lost!

Can't say about the debranding off your phone, but in regards to just the s-off, i did the following and it worked for me with no problems at all..
You probably already saw this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805811
1.flashed stock rom (i used the one i backed up right after first root) Because i came from miui rom version that used 2 partitions (ext3) and alpharev recommends using stock roms instead.. Otherwise the process can hang or crash..
2. S-off via virtualbox method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8590461&postcount=31)
3.Flashed new rom
4.done
Oh and be sure you mount SD Card (mass storage) and in USB Debugging, when connecting USB and watch the phone's screen, because it may ask for superuser rights.
First time with the virtualbox, it gave me same message about unrecognised device, but then i found out i forgot to mount my SD
Hope this helps a little..

Firstly, do you have USB debugging enabled on your phone? It won't be recognised if you don't.
1. You don't need to flash a stock rom although I've seen recommendatiions that a rooted rom as close to stock as possible gives a better chance of sucess.
2. That is what I did at first. S-off isn't necessary if all you want to do is try out different roms. The only thing I've really used it for is changing the HTC spalsh screen on boot up.
3. No you won't see goldcard.img on the sd card. In fact you won't see any evidence that it is a gold card other than it works.
4. No you don't need to downgrade at all. I S-off'd mine from a rooted froyo 2.29 stock rom

what SD card did you use to make. a goldcard? i tried converting my 8HB stick to a goldcard but even though the goldcardtool tells me it was successfull it was not.
if you did not use the SD card HTC gave you, try again with that one. it worked for me...

Check that USB debugging is enabled.

Oh and be sure you mount SD Card (mass storage) and in USB Debugging, when connecting USB and watch the phone's screen, because it may ask for superuser rights.
Thanks - I definitely had USB debugging on, but to be quite honest I can't remember if I had mass storage or charge only.
I didn't touch the screen of the phone at all - so it may have been sat there waiting for superuser I guess.
I will try again with these two in mind and then move on to Virtualbox if I have no luck there!

Thanks it's an interesting point!
I used the Samsung 4GB card supplied with the phone, it had been freshly formatted to FAT32. The only part I wasn't sure about when formatting was when setting the drive size option (a range of options from 32kb to 1024kb were the choices I think), so I just went with default. Maybe that makes a difference?

OK well USB debugging on - check, SD mounted as disk drive (not charge only) - check, no screen asking for su rights - check.
Still the same result so time for a try of Virtualbox.
Thanks again for your input!

Virtualbox runs fine but still returns the same problem, phone is not recognised!
From doing more reading I think my next step should be backup, wipe, flash rooted stock rom, then try again. I am going to use the rom from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773997
Do I flash rom and radio, or rom without radio? My common sense tells me without but confirmation would be good!
Now running Oxygen rom which rocks...

In order to get s-off create a alpharev bootable usb using universal usb installer.....just search how to create usb using this software...

Having read the entire "How to s-off HTC desire" thread, it seems some people followed the procedure and got s-off whilst running oxygen rom, i.e no need to flash stock rom.
Anyone know if that works? Also, should I turn off my screen timeout in case I miss a superuser request? I will be trying the livecd method.
Thank you all!

The live cd method worked fine for me just now, in under 10 minutes I have S-OFF!
I actually just got this to work fine with the CD method - about 8 minutes and I have S-OFF!
The problem must have lain with the stock rom I was left with after creating a goldcard and rooting. Is it possible that this process leaves you with your stock (shipped) rom that has no identity, hence not recognised? Indeed, is that the point of creating the goldcard and I am missing it?
Anyway I post this for anyone else considering the procedure - Alpharev S-OFF 1.8 works fine for a rooted Desire running Oxygen 2.0.1 and Clockworkmod 2.5.0.7. No need to restore a backup - it booted just fine first time after the procedure.
Thanks all for viewing and posting

Mate, Thank you.
I installed Oxygen, ran Revolutionary and away I went. Less than a Minute. Seems my ROMS were causing the issues. No need for a Gold Card and it is a Class 10 Card.

Gonna S-OFF my Desire - few questions

1. Do i need to flash default recovery before i S-OFF, actually i have CWM 2.5.0.7 (i believe it will be replaced with AlphaRev recovery 2.5.1.8?)
2. Do i have to wipe everything in my phone, including ROM ? (i have RCMixHD d2ext ATM), or i need to revert stock RUU first?
3. SDCard need to be formatted without EXT partition when doing S-OFF?
4. Reverting to stock RUU will Root my phone again?

1. read the guide
2. read the guide
3. read the guide
4. Just do as the guide says
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805811
Follow what is said EXACTLY .... I used Virual Machine because I had no disks to burn, but burning a disk is probably easier
If the guide does not tell you to wipe your phone, then dont wipe your phone

Guide you linked doesnt say to wipe anything, and this is quote from official AlphaRev website:
Requirements:
The only requirement right now is that the ROM you're running is rooted.
As techniques such as 'data2ext' have been popping up, these might disturb our finely-tuned flashing process.
Please revert to a rooted stock ROM if possible. Your /data partition is used for temporary storage of important files.

Are you using Data2Ext then? You didn't state that...
Revert to a rooted rom with no data2ext
... Then
CD version
1.download Alpha Rev.iso
2.burn .iso image to CD using a iso burning software eg. Power ISO
3.boot from CD eg. Hold F12 at boot
4.press the Legendary enter
TIPS connect USB when the CD has booted + DON'T TOUCH IT UNLESS IT TELLS YOU TO
PREREQUISITES :
a ROOTed HTC Desire ROM with debugging option enabled.
a computer running Windows XP/Vista/7 (32 or 64 bits), Linux, or Emulation via WMware etc.
a computer which can boot USB devices.

Make sure you read everything several times first and understand everything before you do this.
1. You phone will not get wiped while setting your phone to s-off but you will need to wipe it when you flash a new partition table. If you flash a new table you should wipe your cache before taking a backup or it will not fit in the new partition sizes.
2. I would wipe your phone and flash a ROM that doesn't have d2ext or anything such as that. I had mine running Oxygen when I went through this.
3. I'm not sure about removing your EXT partition but I don't think it will cause any problems..though if you're flashing a new table to gain more space the EXT might not be needed. Oxygen runs better without it.
4. Flashing your RUU WILL root your phone again...no need to do that.

Ok i did S-OFF my phone successfully, i have corresponding HBOOT image on my SD card, im in FASTBOOT mode but i dont understand this step:
3) Flash HBOOT with your phone in fastboot mode (Back+POWER) -> 'fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img' (change into the correct filename for the HBOOT you downloaded)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How i can type anything in there? i dont see any console or whatever, i can choose: Bootloader, Reboot, Reboot Bootloader, Power Down.

You need to have ADB installed and you run those commands from CMD on your PC while your phone is in Fastboot.
And have the HBOOT img file in the /tools folder where were you put your ADB files.

Connect your Phone to the PC in fastboot.
You must have Android SDK installed on your PC.
Then run the fastboot command from the Command promt from your PC.
Also the .img file must be in the same place as the fastboot.exe.

I just downloaded PBIMG99.zip flashed it on fastboot and it worked fine, thanks for help guys

Flashing Custom MTD/HBOOT
Once S-OFF is done, you are ready to flash the custom MTD/HBOOT. This step changes your internal memory partition table such that the new RoM can fit appropriately while leaving lot of room for user data. Once this is done, the old RoM will no longer work with the new layout of MTD. Before doing this step, ensure all your backups are in place and you have copied all necessary files to the SD Card. (The ROM .zip and the .zip for HBOOT if you are using method 2 below)
Before you do this, it is a good idea to ensure that your HBOOT download is correct and not corrupted. You can do this but checking the MD5 checksum of your download againts the MD5 checksum listed on alpharev site against the download.You can use any of the free tools available.
There are two ways to do this:
Method 1 - fastboot flash: If you downloaded the .img file linked earlier, use the following procedure to install it:
Power down the phone and turn it back on with the back button pressed down; you will see the "fastboot" screen,
From your PC command line, cd into the folder where your android-sdk is and cd into tools folder,
Connect the phone to PC via USB cable,
Run the following command: 'fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img' replacing the .img filename with the appropriate path and file name (Eg: C:\Downloads\HTC\RoM's\bravo_alphaspl-cm7.img),
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
Select bootloader then select Recovery (use volume up/down to change, and power key to accept the choice),
WARNING: Don't reboot your phone as yet because the MTD you flashed doesn't match your current Rom's layout so it will probably boot-loop or brick your phone,
Method 2 - HBOOT autoflash: If you downloaded the .zip file linked earlier, follow this method:
Rename the .zip file to "PB99IMG.zip" and copy it to the root of your SD card,
Shutdown your phone and restart it into HBOOT (Voldown + power button),
When the phone starts, it automatically will detect the zip file and install the MTD,
Now you can enter recovery and follow the procedure.
Note: Many users have had CID errors when trying this method so it is recommended to use Method 1 above

Thank you very much for the posts I have been looking everywhere for good instructions !!
Unfotunately I get the error
"This application has failed to start because adpwinapi.dll was not found. re installing the application may fix this problem"
Do I need to install android SDK manager again?
edit: nevermind. ADB doesnt recognise my phone

Download latest SDK and make sure you download Android SDK platform-tools revision 3, as well (in the additional packages)
Plus you must install the USB drivers from Unrevoked's site.

it gives my this error : cannot load bravo_aplhaspl-oxygen
what should i do?

Ive done both of that,
my list of ADB devices is still blank >.<
Ive tried using HTC sync before trying unrevoked method and still had the same issue

Did you uninstall HTC Sync?
You have to install HTC Sync first, then uninstall it but leave the drivers installed. Then plug the phone in and do the process in the unrevoked-link which davebugyi has already posted.
The adpwinapi.dll-file is in "platform-tools" folder. Just copy that file into the "tools" -folder (the folder, where the fastboot.exe-file is located) and you're done.

No, it shouldn't, but it's strongly sugggested to nandroid backup your phone beforehand.

Can anyone please explain the advantage of flashing a different HBOOT other than stock rooted one?

LOTS more available memory.
i have the oxygen hboot installed and with a dozen apps i still have 267mb free.
with the stock hboot i would be running out of memory by now

This memory would be RAM memory, right? We're not talking free space for installs, but rather free mem space for running apps?
Also, do I have to S-off to flash hboot? So far I only have rooted device (rooted using unREVOKED).

nope we are talking about space for installing apps
the oxygen hboot alters the partition sizes for system and cache.
whats left is the data partition and thats all all yours
Stock Hboot about 147mb data partition
new hboot 337
so 190mb more

[Q] HTC Desire, potential brick, HELP PLEASE

I've had a look for a thread similar to this but I'm new to all of this, so if there is one, I haven't been able to find it. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. Even if it is only to direct me in the right direction.
As I said I'm a bit of a noob, I've been trying all day to root my HTC Desire, which I'd upgraded to Gingerbread 2.3.3 stock update from the HTC website. I was able to make it S-OFF but for some reason I found myself unable to install Clockwordmod Recovery. So i decided to follow this
ww.mikesouthby.co.uk/2010/08/htc-desire-downgrading-hboot-and-installing-custom-froyo-rom/ to downgrade to froyo and root it from there.. but when I went to turn on my phone after completely the steps shown, the htc logo flashes on and then the screen goes black, but I still hear the chimes.
I am able to access the bootloader screen, this is what is displayed, as I'm guessing as this was aid anyone who is willing to help me get my phone working again!

As I said, any help whatsoever in helping me to get my phone back to a functioning state would be greatly appreciated.
And sorry to anyone who becomes offended by any of the forum rules I may have broken!

Since you are S-Off already can you now access recovery from the bootloader screen? If yes, then try to download a new ROM. There are a lot of ROMs on the developers section. Do a full wipe and flash a different ROM
I'm a noob by XDA standards but from the looks of it it's just a bad ROM flash.

because you're S-OFF this makes your job a billion times easier.. all you have to do is flash recovery.
unzip the file I attached into c:\
download recovery, rename it to "recovery.img" (for simplicity, you'll see later) and also put it in c:\
then follow these steps:
Go to start menu, accessories, command prompt
in command prompt type the following commands:
Code:
cd\
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot oem gencheckpt
you should now be in recovery, go to "mounts & storage" and wipe "system", "userdata", "cache" & "boot".
Once you've done that, simply flash a new ROM

If you're able to access recovery, it's a very simple task of wiping your phone and installing a new ROM.
If you for whatever reason can't, you will need to use a RUU to restore it to it's factory state, and root again.

Hi,
I have similar problem: I can boot to bootloader only.
I completed root and s-off process and installed new rom. Everything was great, but I didn't have enough memory for applications and I tried to partition SD card with ROM manager to enable a2sd. After I ran Rom manager, I found that RECOVERY options disappeared. And I decided to re s-off with alpharev and it was stacked at step 3 .
Is there still any option to make it alive?

Low Memory on Runnymede_AIO_V6.0.4.1_Special_Edition

Okay - i bet since my question is too easy to solve i will get facepalmed soon
So what am i using:
HTC DESIRE SLCD / S-OFF / Rooted / 32gb class 10 SD card (Samsung)
4EXT touch Recovery
Runnymede_AIO_V6.0.4.1_Special_Edition + ad2sdx-1.0-RC01
Whats my Problem:
Low internal memory even if there are 1,2 gb of free space ( apps start crashing / default browser wont open due to lack of internal memory... everything else works perfect)
The Problem doesnt appear instantly after flashing and installing.
So what i did:
1. looked in the FAQ from Runnymede Thread and used a cache cleaner
2. installing the ROM few more times
But it didn't help - thats why i am here
I guess i am making a mistake while installing the Rom
www10.pic-upload.de/03.03.12/wve62nma9g9z.jpg
(cant post img or links because i am new here - tell me if it doesnt work)
because i cant select this option - i guess thats where I go wrong?
maybe its the wrong ROM I downloaded?
I cant help myself somehow.. thats why i am here
(i spent about 1 week trying everything that comes to my mind but it didnt help)
Thx 4 all work you have done and your support!
if this works out i am going to donate 10€

What is your hboot ? I guess it is stock hboot.
It should be at least CM7r2 in order ad2sdx to work properly as it needs a bigger data partition sise to mount as sd-ext. Your actual sd-ext will be mounted as data partition.
I can't open www10.pic-upload.de/03.03.12/wve62nma9g9z.jpg to see what it is.

Yeah i have HBOOT 0.93.0001
okay gonna try fix that and then report my result

im having the same problem with my installation
i have the hboot from alpharev
the info is as follows

and i have the same exact issue, i set my ext4 to abt 1.6gb and i cant get access to it at all

Alpharev made several HBOOTs, if you want to use AD2SDX make sure you flashed Bravo CM7 r2, you'll find it on their homepage.
I guess you guys both are currently using Bravo Stock HBOOT.
You can find out which HBOOT you are using (just to make sure) go into fastboot mode and look for the text in the pink box above the "BRAVO PVT xyz..."

Ok here we go again
I flashed Bravo CM7 r2 from alpharev.nl yesterday et voila - i had the ad2sdx option in the aroma installer.
(I had a screenshot on the the link nobody can see where it was missing)
Now the phone is working about 12 hours without any memory problems - of course it needed some time to settle down in the beginning, but that was mentioned in the runnymede threads before.
But i am still asking myself if i did too much now because...
I flashed Runnymede V6.0.4.1 with ad2sdx
Afterwards I immediately flashed ad2sdx-1.0-RC01 (amarullz)
Then i went for the Sense 3.5 Kernel from Droidzone
I bet i just needed to flash Runnymede since it comes with its own kernel (?) and has build-in ad2sdx?
Thx guys
Btw. kevearc how are you doin?

ad2sdx: You flashed the same thing twice, if you ckeck ad2sdx in the AROMA Installer, it will already be flashed automatically.
Kernel: The ROM comes with a build in Kernel by Droidzone, but you can flash newer ones.

Ahh btw.
I am looking for the sticky notes widget from stock ROM from android 2.2.
Just the one where you can draw/write and delete.
I dont need any memo or synchronisation and stuff.
So i looked " htc desire stock rom zip " to get the apk
or for " htc desire sticky notes " but didnt get what i was looking for.
I also tried to start the RUU installer and get the ROM.zip out of my temp folder but i didnt find it ( either in normal temp or windows\temp ).
Any idea? or is there a secret database hidden ?

Look at my signature..!

@kevearc: That means you are using Alpharev Stock HBOOT, go to their site and flash CM7r2. Instructions are given there.
@veljin: The easiest was to find the folder is to run ruu, open task manager, right-click adb.exe and select "open path" or something like that.
If you want to save time, just download the old Widget here

@veljin: The easiest was to find the folder is to run ruu, open task manager, right-click adb.exe and select "open path" or something like that.
If you want to save time, just download the old Widget here

ok, i downloaded the file, so do i flash this first, then reflash teh runnymeade os?
'or is there somthing else i need to do?

@WoH - thx :3
@kevearc
( only works with S-OFF !)
1. Download the Zip from Alpharev called PB99IMG_cm7r2.zip
2. Rename it to PB99IMG.zip
3. Put it on your SD Card
4. Start Bootloader with Power + Vol down
5. messages comes with " do you want to flash this blabla " -> go for it
6. delete File
7. Check if everything worked in the Bootloader Menu
8. Better reflash your ROM (maybe it works without that but i wont guarantee)

When you have CID error, you cannot update with sdcard procedure.
You need to flash it in fastboot mode or the easier way is search for Fastboot Commander and use this to flash the hboot.

thanx,
i tried tht, but FBC didnt detect the phone, even though i plugged it directly and the drivers are loaded

Did FbC / adb work before?
Maybe you could try to reinstall adb driver...
