Hey guys. I have a LeeDroid rom and I want to switch to Cyanogen 7. However, with the LeeDroid rom, I had bought the premium navigation for HTC's Car Panel. If I were to switch roms to Cyanogen, will I have to repurchase?

Also, when switching roms, do I just follow the last step or two in this tutorial?

Thanks.

Looking for some help with this:

I have a LeeDroid rom and I want to switch to Cyanogen 7. However, on the LeeDroid rom, I bought the premium navigation for HTC's Car Panel. If I were to switch roms to Cyanogen, will I have to repurchase it?

Also, when switching roms, do I just follow the last step or two in this tutorial?

Or is there something special I need to do?

Help please :)

I've installed Cool3D RunnyMede v4 , did S-off, 1 GB ext4 partition etc etc... But I've realised that my phone is extremely slow after some time and decided that I want to put back RUU version for my phone. Before I did s-off I've downloaded RUU file RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe but when I connect my phone it says that cannot find android phone...

Where am I doing wrong, maybe I dont have a correct RUU version, how can i check that ?

Or maybe I can now download RUU 2.3 gingerbreed version and install that ?

How can I find out the RUU version for my phone when I have installed Cool3D RunnyMede v4 ?

Please help :(
[Desire Android Development] Shoarma1998:
Do you have the htc usb drivers installed? One other thing... have you tried to reboot your pc/laptop?

Don't forget to flash back the downgrade boot from alpharev (if you've flashed another boot like cm7) before you try to flash a stock rom...
[Desire Android Development] res5it:
I've installed HTC Sync and now I'm getting another error that I guess is because I still have cm7 hboot .

How can I downgrade flashboot, I have cm7? I'm really new in this, please help me :(

---------- Post added at 04:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:25 PM ----------

Ok, let's make things more clear

I have AlphaRev Bravo CM7 r2, Cool3D RunnyMede v4, 1 BG ext4 partition.

I want to revert my phone back to original RUU rom , instrustions please ? :) :(

if someone can provide me with link to download HTC Desire 2.3 Gingerbread RUU Rom that would be great...

Thank you in advance...

Radio Tutorial

Could someone create a video regarding updating the radio, or refer me to a video as I havent been able to locate any such video for the Desire, thanks.

PS - If anyone could also recommend a radio for Vodafone UK much appreciated!
[Desire Android Development] zedmarcus:
Download the latest radio from here...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=687464

Unzip it to your desktop.

Download "Android Flasher" from here...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=794638

Connect your phone to your pc with your usb cable (no need to USB connect to transfer files, just plugging it in is enough).

Run "Android Flasher". Choose your phone. Select radio. Select the radio from your desktop you downloaded earlier. Click on "Flash". Wait (your phone will restart into fastboot by itself).

Wait.

When your phone reboots again and "Android Flasher" says finished, your phone now has the newest radio.

Done.

edit: flashing radio's can lead to a radio brick, although it is rare it does happen. If it ain't broke then maybe don't fix it.

update question

Hello people,

Indeed very nice and clear tutorial, thanks to the poster.

As I am totally new to this (and yet, quite old ... I did some playing with Windows mobile 6, on iMate (HTC Universal) ... I strongly advise young readers not to bother - it's pre-history :) ) - I have a question: what happens when Cyanigen 7.2 (or 8 - whatever) - do I need to do the whole procedure again?

again, thanks
[Desire Android Development] zedmarcus:
When Cyanogen updates again you won't need to do it all again. Once you are rooted this will remain unless you flash an RUU. All you will need to do is wipe and flash the newly updated CM7 zip.
[Desire Android Development] dodjob:
Worked 100% ^^

For linux user, use gparted directly from your system eh eh workes like a charm :D

THANKS!!!
[Desire Android Development] Dj Telo:
The post is great, very helpful. :)

Just a little question, do I need S-Off to flash a rom?
[Desire Android Development] robocat_pl:
Excellent work! thank you !!

I think you should add "how to flash radio using Android Flasher"
[Desire Android Development] puncha1580:
No, you won't need s-off to flash a rom, if you just wanna try roms.

However, if you want to flash radio, hboot, then you would.

Its not necessary to s -off,but I would guess if you wanna truly take the benefits of your handset, you should.

At the end, its a personal choice.
[Desire Android Development] puncha1580:
Did you flash any zip file after flashing the rom. There should be a flashable zip file, that will help you use the partition that you made.

[Desire Android Development] paul144:
Firstly - excellent tutorial - well almost - in my case I got to the final stage of copying a ROM (zip file) onto SD Card only for it not to be detected during the 'flash from SD CARD' stage in the very final step. Help?

Apart form this everything went well although was heart stopping at times.

Well done - and thanks - fortunately restored backup OK and therefore a bit more confidence but still on old ROM!

Thanks in advance for any suggestions - and I did spend a hour reading this interesting thread.

[Desire Android Development] waldemator:
First of all thank you for the wonderfull work in this thread. But there was a thing i had to mess up with:

I could not install the S-OFF because there was always an error during alpharev's flashing:

Device not accepting address 9: error - 71

unable to enumerate usb device on port 1

After looking about half a day for an answer, i found the sollution: you need to have a Froyo-ROM to flash S-OFF without problems. It worked for me with this one, so maybe you want to edit it to your tutorial in the s-off - step:

Link to the pre-rooted desire Froyo stock ROM.

Greetings, Waldo.

gparted?

You say use MagicISO to burn Gparted to a disc but when I unzip the Gparted file there is a bunch of files. Do I burn the whole Gparted folder to a disc. Will it boot like that? On the Gparted page it says "The bootable image is called GParted Live " but the only file I can see called anything like that is GParted-Live-Version but it's not even 1k big so think that unlikey?

Thanks

Looked again and downloaded the older version, this only has the iso file so think I'm OK now. However now discovered that my HTC 2.3 update I did before Christmas has put my phone at HBOOT 1.02 so I'm scuppered! Looked at revolutionary.io but being a newbie this is beyond me.

If anybody knows a way to get back from 2.3 to 2.2 so that I can use this video tutorial again I'd be grateful.

Try that -

Unrevoked keep all previous versions in a folder structure.

I am having the same problem, will report back if your right.

This is the 3rd Desire I've done and this is the first time I've had this too. I cant even reinstall the original RUU at the moment either!

Step 3 of 3 is starting. During this step, you will receive instructions and progress on screen.

This is normal. DO NOT TURN OFF YOUR PHONE DURING THIS STEP, HBOOT is being flashed during this stage, and turning it off will *BRICK* your phone!

Waiting for flashing to complete...

First of all thanks very much for taking the time to put out a great guide.

I think i managed to follow all the steps correctly.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

[Desire Android Development] markyboyWATP:
Thanks very much for you help as that has fixed it :)

I have followed all the steps above and it looks as if it is working well.

Here is what i have

HTC desire

CyanogenMod 7.2.0.1.bravo

I partitioned my 8gig sd card with the Gparted live tool fat32 6gig and ext4 1000mb.

Since i have partitioned my SD card i was looking for any more advice and suggestions would be the best script for me with the above specs.

I also have S2E installed.

Once again thanks very much and any more help would be appreciated.

Marky
[Desire Android Development] abaaaabbbb63:
S2E works just fine with CM7. No need for other scripts.
[Desire Android Development] markyboyWATP:
Cool thanks again.

Do i just tick the boxes in S2E as really not sure in what i am doing. i thought partitioning the SD card with ext4 would have gave my phones internal memory more space.

marky

Edit: just opened S2E and ticked those boxes.My total space is now 147 free from 151 Total. :)

When i install appy do they automatically do that now?

Marky
[Desire Android Development] abaaaabbbb63:
Yes, they do.

[Desire Android Development] markyboyWATP:
Was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to offer me some more help.

I am having an issue, as mentioned about i have followed through all the steps in the first post down to a tee and it looks like they all worked however i seem to be having problems with s2e. When i run s2e and click the box to move dalvik cash to sd and also app data to sd, in order to free internal memory, when the phone restarts is goes all laggy and sluggy. As i mentioned earlier i had it where why internal had 150mb free from 151 but if i dont move the dalvik and app data my free space on internal is a mere 30mb. i think i have set it up so my apps go to the ext4 partition but not really sure if that has worked.

Help again would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Marky
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
You should leave app data on the internal, and move only dalvik and apps to the ext partition. With data on the ext the ROM will get very slow.

I'd also recommend using a different hboot (cm7r2) so that you can maximize space on your data partition (internal storage for app data). Currently with stock hboot you have too much space allocated to system. When you switch to cm7r2 hboot, this extra unneeded space will be removed from the system partition and given to the data partition, thus increasing room for app data.
