Solved, I could flash Leedroid HD A2SD++ ROM

Android runs now great!.
[Desire Android Development] tczabumba:
Can still someone help me ... just clarify me
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
No s-off is not required to flash a Rom. You only need s-off when you want to mess with the internal partitions

[Desire Android Development] smit009:
downgrade hboot 1.02 to 0.93

I couldnt find it in any previous posts.

i was able to downgrade my hboot from 1.02 to 0.93

unrevoked and alpharev worked together

i cant post any links to outside websites...

so i'll do it this way. go to revolutionary dot io

and follow instruction
[Desire Android Development] zokism:
Excellent tutorial, everything working fine. Thanks
[Desire Android Development] ethereal123:
great tutorial,first time I failed to install and then went through this post..awesome..keep up good work
[Desire Android Development] gagi75:
must i install sdk menager or just h boot drivers and goes next step to root ?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
You just need hboot drivers + Desire drivers supplied with HTC sync, if you are using unrevoked.
[Desire Android Development] gagi75:
ok m8 but! if got 0.93 boot or under they say can use uvorked but what hapend if have up 0.93 cant do ting say use alfarev 1.8 but can that do root

last can i downgrade boot and whit what program

i am new on this bu i wos doing all things whit hd2 and older htc

thnks m8 again
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Hboot .96 and .102 need to use alpharev/unrevoked revoltionary:

http://revolutionary.io/

With erase size 40,000, I recommend using AmonRA 2.0.1 (best stable 40,000 recovery IMHO)
[Desire Android Development] gagi75:
aaa..that i need m8 and what about android sdk have must that prog.or i dont need that

and can i downgrade h boot if is not that version to that version 93 and 102
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
What hboot have you got exactly?
[Desire Android Development] gagi75:
point is i will go tomorow to by phone nonbrand (wodafon orange....)and i will look evry f fone in boot what version is and pvt to be sure to by rigt version

m8
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Dont worry about it then. 1.02 is only on US Cellular CDMA Phones and 0.96 is only on the developer only 2.3 update so it will be 0.93

Not all PVT4 are erase size 40,000 anyway, you cant tell until you run commands.

Ity just means you have to use amonRA instead of CWM. Its a perfectly good recovery
[Desire Android Development] zolmajstor:
while i'm trying to run singed ruu for waranty, i get error 170 or 171 ...what am i doing wrong?
[Desire Android Development] gagi75:
What is recovery?

When you turn on your phone, the phone's bootloader loads 1 of 2 things. Android or recovery. When you flash a custom recovery using unrEVOked, the HTC recovery is replaced.

The 2 main recoveries that we recommend here are clockwork mod 2.5.0.7 and AmonRA 2.0.1.

something like this....
[Desire Android Development] zolmajstor:
was that anwser to my question about signed ruu or ? i still get error 170 or 171 while trying to run signed ruu
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Is there more to the error? Perhaps USB error?? PB99IMG.zip method will circumvent this but you may need to follow one of the usb brick fix threads. What is the reason for the warranty return?
[Desire Android Development] zolmajstor:
desire get's real hot when gps and data is enabled and then restarts. also combination of wifi and gps restarts phone. battery temperature is way over 37 celzius at that moment. desire get's realy warm and hot
[Desire Android Development] malcolm159:
Its a Known problem with HTC desire,there's a long thread on this forum return to HTC under warranty and they will replace motherboard just had mine done.

Regards Malcolm
[Desire Android Development] zolmajstor:
yea i know it's a know issue and i will return desire to htc for warranty, that's why i need to unroot it but i get error 170 or 171 when i try to run official RUU. do you know whic one is the latest RUU for desire and if you can give me links to the latest one?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Could you answer my question on the error please? Is there any more to it such as USB error or something
[Desire Android Development] zolmajstor:
error 170 and 171 refers to USB device is not pluged in.maybe the problem is with usb drivers. today i will reinstall my windows and try to install fresh htc sync and all drivers and try again. cable is not a problem since i tried 2 difrent cabels.
[Desire Android Development] zolmajstor:
when i ran RUU first time, at first it started good, desire went on that screen where it's says htc and on pc was waiting for bootloader. at that point i saw that windows is trying to search for bootloader drivers online. and after 180 seconds i just got that 170 error. after that i wasn't able to do it again since. always getting error 170 or 171, USB problems i guess.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Try a PB99IMG.zip method in that case, put it on yoru SD card and boot to Hboot.
[Desire Android Development] zolmajstor:
can you give me some detailed process? i get pb99IMG.zip from that list of roms right? and how do you mean boot to hboot? to go to recovery(in my case amon_ra) and flash it from sd card or something else?
[Desire Android Development] zolmajstor:
i found this tutorial from andoirdforums:

FOR INSTALLING ANY RUU AS PB99IMG.ZIP

Press Vol- , then w/o releasing it, press Power button + Vol –

After 3-4 secs, the following screen shows up momentarily:

· Fastboot

· Recovery

· Clear Storage

· Simlock

This shows the above few options for 2-3 seconds, and then directly checks for PB99IMG.ZIP. It displays:

SD Checking…

Loading…

PB99DIAG.ZIP

Pb99DIAG.nbh

PB99IMG.ZIP

When it finds PB99IMG.zip, it starts to load it (13 secs after you press the Vol- & power key)

It gives the next options after 2min 20seconds (for the WWE 2.29 RUU) from the initial key press of Vol- and Power key.

Parsing………………….[SD zip]

1. Bootloader

2. Radio V2

3. Radio_Cust

4. Boot

5. Recovery

6. System

7. Userdata

8. Splash1

9. Splash2

Do you want to reboot device?

<Vol Up> Yes

<Vol Down> No

So, net key sequences involved:

· Back+Power

· Power again

· Vol Up

If we chose No, next option:

Do you want to reboot device?

<Vol Up> Yes

<Vol Down> No

If you pressed Yes, then:

Update is in progress..

Do not power off your device.

1. Bootloader -OK

2. Radio V2 -OK

3. Radio_Cust -OK

4. Boot -OK

5. Recovery-Unzipping/Updating

6. System

7. Userdata

8. Splash1

9. Splash2

It cycles through each of these in turn. For me, it took exactly 2 min 17 secs for time when I chose to apply update, to when update was completed.

It displays:

Update complete

So you want to reboot device?

<Vol Up> Yes

<Vol Down> No

i just don't get the bolded part? should i select yes after first question or should i select NO???
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
From in hboot, it checks for the file after 7 seconds when it then asks if you want to apply the update. You press yes to this. After the update you choose to reboot.
[Desire Android Development] zolmajstor:
done.thank you very very much
[Desire Android Development] malcolm159:
Hi wondering if you can help me,

1 would like to root my htc desire but fail at the first step of not being able to find my ruu rom for backup its 32.49.00.32u_5.11.05.27 Phone is on o2 has a o2 splash when booting up I can find a generic 1 on shipped roms under bravo which I think is for this phone but not one which is signed o2 phone has a years warranty left on it so think I need original rom.

2 This phone has had a replacement motherboard old one I debranded and unlocked so have a gold card setup on sd card so if I partition my sd card will it reformat card losing all the programs, files etc and the gold card setup on it .Loosing the gold card is not a problem as I haven’t debranded phone but will I need a gold card for future.

Thanks in advance

Regards Malcolm
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Thats the radio/baseband not the RUU. You need the software version.

Partitioning a card will definitely break the goldcard element as the boot sector will be rewritten, which is where the goldcard .img is stored. Since its best to format a card before and after partitioning, I would suggest backing up the entire contents of SD (inclusing hidden folders) to your PC first
[Desire Android Development] malcolm159:
Hi Thanks for reply

I can find this 1

RUU_Bravo_Froyo_O2_UK_2.14.207.1_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_144166_

signed.exe

But on phone is reads 2.14.207.3 cl274424 32.49.00.32u_5.11.05.27

Which is not quite the same?

Any ideas

Thanks in advance

Regards Malcolm
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Ok here is how to deconstruct it.

2.14.207.3 Is the ROM version. The 2. means froyo and the .207 means O2 UK

The .1 or .3, basically means that the higher number is the newer one. Same with the .14 so the one to download is slightly older than what you have, but thats fine.

Each RUU or OTA may contain a radio. It is not important when matching the radio in this case. The RUU you found is fine.
[Desire Android Development] ethereal123:
hi

how can i go back to following original stock:

2.2 software version 2.12.110.4 and baseband32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27 (T-mobile UK). I tried RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00. 32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed

but it got back with some error and didnt install. I have some serious problems following rooting:my ringer volume becomes zero as soon as I get calls from unknown numbers. thnx for help

Where can i find 2.12.110.4 stock rom?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
All available RUUs are on shipped roms.

This is the one you want

[Desire Android Development] Fadawah:
I can change my SD card without crashing my phone right?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Depends if you are using a2sd+/data2sd etc etc. If its partitioned, you need to nandroid backup, copy all the data on the FAT32 (including hidden files) to PC, partition new card and copt data back to it, Nandroid restore.
[Desire Android Development] malcolm159:
Hi wondering if you can help I’ve rooted my phone with this excellent tutor thanks and now a colleague wants me to root his phone .The only difference from mine is that his has been unbranded when it was version 2.1 to update to 2.2 when the update first appeared .We used a 2gb card to make a gold card which he still has but now has a 16gb card in phone so he still has the original gold card if its required for updates as and when they appear hope I’m making myself clear.

So the question is

1 Will he need the gold card to put his phone back to normal as it is now if it has to be returned for warranty work

2 I’m going to root his phone using the 16gb card so after partitioning it will I have to make the fat32 section into a gold card then continue with the process or can we just forget about the gold card bit and keep the 2gb card for use in the first question or is it not needed.

Thanks in advance

Regards Malcolm
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Sorry, you're quite off the mark with a lot of this. He needed the Gold card to unbrand and select unbranded updates. If he wants to put an unbranded official 2.2 rom back on he will also need it.

He will not need a gold card for any of the rooting process. He also will not need one for using the official RUU from his carrier OR to use the NEW Gingerbread official RUU, both of which will be valid for warranty return

Also, once rooted NEVER accept OTA updates. It will break things

[Desire Android Development] danarama:
settings>about phone.

Whats your software version?

What unrevoked version are you using?

If youre not on the Arabian build of android, you should be using 3.21

Also if you did pm setinstalllocation trick, this needs to be done. Ive never seen that force close before. We need more info (as much as you can)
[Desire Android Development] lawrencel33:
Tq for the reply,software information:

Android 2.2

Baseband ver 34.47.00.3u_5.10.05.23

Kernel ver 2.6.32.15-he96f2c0 htc-kernel@and18-2#1

Build no. 2.11.832.2 CL236241 release-keys

Software no. 2.11.832.2
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
That should be unrevoked 3.21. Also, did you force all apps to SD card before rooting?
[Desire Android Development] lawrencel33:
Already move all the apps to SD, but some can't be move. Tried to root ago again tonite, if can't then I reset HP to factory setting n root again, anything I will update here, tq so much for the precious advise. ...I be back.. ..hehehe
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I'm asking if you did it using the setpminstalllocation 2 trick. Yes or no?
[Desire Android Development] lawrencel33:
No I didn't. .. how to do that actually?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
theres a link in my sig but the reason I was asking is this also gives you the error message you received if you had done it. So youd have to reverse that process.

Have you tried unrevoked 3.21 yet?
[Desire Android Development] lawrencel33:
Can you send me the link sig, I try it out now.. .
[Desire Android Development] lawrencel33:

VERY nice instruction. I made everything setp-by-step and phone works fine on my HTC Desire. I installed ROM ver RCMixS_v2.0_A2SD_CM7Hboot. I use 8 GB SD card Gerated to 1 GB EXT4 filesys and the rest is FAT32. I moved all possible applikaction to SD card. Now I have a problem that the only 18 MB of internal memory is free. So it is impossible to install additional applications because of small free size of internal memory. Is any possibility to resolve that problem?

Hey guys,

first off, thanks for the great guide. Following it I was able to check out some of the ROMs. But I still have one major problem.

I created the ext4 partition on my SDCard, so that I could use that a internal memory for the applications. But only with the supernova extreme I was able to actually use it. It does have this built in I guess? I'm all new to this, so sorry for my silly questions.

What I would like to accomplish is run a ROM like leedroid HD and still be using the ext4. Can someone please give me a quick hint on how to do so? I've been able to flash the rom, but then I got like 120mb free for applications, when there is a 1GB ext4 waiting to be used.

Thanks for any help on this.

Regards,

Gsus
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Leedroid will automatically use it. It uses a2sd.

Supernova used data2sd which moves the entire /data partition ("internal storage") to ext. This is why internal storage shows as the size of the ext.

A2sd moves /data/app and /data/dalvik-cache to ext. Since /data itself is not moved, the value doesn't change. However it will reduce much slower than without the partition as the apps are not taking up space.

Ok I am a total noob when it comes to android flashing.

I have my Desire S-Off rooted etc and also managed to install a ROM on it.

Now I want to change my ROM to a different one but it requires CM7/r2 what on earth is that?

And I also saw that it is in the list of Alpharev does this mean I need to flash that CM7 image from Alpharev or do i still need a different CM7 program or something?
