[HTC Desire S] iampoch:
Hi Guys,

Got to S-Off and root my Desire S yesterday using AlphaRevX. Something weird happened, though. I tried to install an AOSP ROM (Redux v.1.2 signed). I did it using the ROM Manager app. In the pre-install, I had the existing ROM backed up, and I had the option to wipe data and cache and Dalvik Cache checked. The Redux ZIP file is in my memory card's root directory.

However, when I proceeded with the installation, I got an error message and my phone reverted to its factory settings. So I went to recovery mode and I was surprised to see that my recovery and hboot versiosn changed.

Here's the info I have in HBOOT:

--- AlphaRev ---

SAGA PVT SHIP S-OFF RL

HBOOT-6.98.1002

RADIO-38.03.02.15_M

eMMC-boot

Mar 10 2011, 14:58:38

My ClockworkMod recovery was changed to v3.0.2.6!

How do I upgrade my ClockworkMod Recovery to the latest version? Also, I'd really love to use an AOSP ROM, but Redux died out on me. What ROM could you guys recommend? I wanted Cyanogen, but the Inc S port doesn't have BT enabled and BT is important to me.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
I don't believe that that rom was intended for this device, this is the desire a forum, what device was that rom for?

Factory reset is expected after alpharevx.

The h boot version is what you should expect after alpharevx and to update CWM then look in development forum sticky INDEX thread and instal the EXT4 recovery which is based on version 4.0.0.5 of clock work mod
[HTC Desire S] iampoch:
Thanks for the reply :) Yup, I think the ROM was for the original Desire. I thought that it would be compatible, but it turned out otherwise (I'm new to rooting and custom ROMs etc.). I'll try the EXT4 recovery :)

New Desire S

Hi,

what about Desire S with HBoot 2.0.... It's to new to root?

Someone any idea what I can do, to root the Device and set S-OFF?

Best regards :D
[HTC Desire S] foX2delta:
You obviously haven't done any reading, have a look at the general sticky.
[HTC Desire S] Uppy:
I rooted it it easily. You have to unlock the bootloader first. I'm still not jumped in with a custom rom yet though.

But yeah you should search a little harder before posting.

To unlock your bootloader go to HTCdevelopers official site. But be warned that unlocking results in a factory reset.
[HTC Desire S] kalimpula1:
Sorry, I have no experience with Desire S.

I've only on HD2 and Sensation :D

Those are very easy to root and flash

:D

I have read first post, but my English is bad ;)

I will look better in the futere :D

Thank you and best regards

You can either downgrade to older hboot or use HTCdev.
[HTC Desire S] cellem:
Hi guys! I just bought for my wife the Desire S and I have to say it is a nice phone to use and it suits her more than fine. The android version is 2.3.5 and HTC sence 3.0 is it possible to root it? is there some guide? I did some reading but I think that goes for older android versions... also pls tell me what you need to know from the device...thank ya all!!
[HTC Desire S] Uppy:
Hey cellem, as already stated in this thread, to root it you have to unlock the bootloader, go to htcdev and follow the very simple guide there to unlock your bootloader. Once that's done superoneclick will run perfectly fine and root the phone.

Hope this helps :-)
[HTC Desire S] cellem:
I am going to try it but some guys in the Greek forum said that it is not easy to rooti it and I should come to xda and check it out... hope I can make it!!!
[HTC Desire S] doghous:
No worries cellem, I've done the HTCdev method unlock a couple of weeks ago and I've flashed a custom ROM, it's really simple!

My DS works like a charm since then! :)
[HTC Desire S] Uppy:
Steps 7 and 8 look daunting but it's really not. You'll be fine. Just remember that unlocking the bootloader factory resets your phone.
[HTC Desire S] cellem:
Ok guys this is great thank you very much! I should give it a try and keep my Mrs happy!!!

Rooting my desire s - Newbie

Hi Please I just joined this forum with the aim of rooting my HTC DESIRE S . I have no experience in this and really don't understand the whole procedure involved. I recently migrated from apple and think its cool using the android all through.

I have read a few things here and watched a few videos but haven't actually got a answer on how to go about this. I currently have a MAC and would like help on how what to do and software to get in other to root my phone.

Thanks

[HTC Desire S] madferret:
Yes, you can't do better than read all the guides very carefully. :)

One thing you may like to know is that ADB will work through Terminal on a Mac without messing around installing HTC drivers like you do on Windows. All you need are the Android SDK platform tools on your Mac. There are clear instructions on how to do this at this web page.

Unlock bootloader for HTC Desire S

Can I only unlock the bootloader as I want keep the Stock ROM on my phone. Right now I dont want any cutom ROM to﻿ be installed. I want to root the phone to use some of the applications.

Is it mean that by unlocking the bootloader my phone will be rooted? Or I have to done something more than that?
[HTC Desire S] jugg1es:
It means you have root access and will be able to run things like titanium backup etc, you can still stay on stock. Just please remember that if you do try a new rom in the future that you have to flash the boot.Img with adb. I was unlocked for a bit with stock, you shouldn't be able to do it any real damage with s-on.

"There are no facts, only interpretations."

- Friedrich Nietzsche
[HTC Desire S] teadrinker:
After unlocking the bootloader, you'll have to install a custom recovery (like 4ext, Cwm etc.) and flash either SuperSU or SuperUser in the recovery.
[HTC Desire S] LoveSicKWAR:
It is a lot easier if you use the All-in-one toolkit as you do not need to worry about fastboot and everything to flash boot.IMG 's and to HTCdev unlock.

Also once you have achieved HTCdev unlock you click one button to install a custom recovery instead of mucking about in fastboot cmd.

[Q] market place tells me "no space" with over 2gb of internal storage left!

As some of you may have read on an earlier thread of mine where my phone got stuck looping Droid screens it has now come back to life.

i now have this issue that when i go onto market place to get my apps back, it tells me there is no space to install this. i have a 16gb card which has been partitioned as fat32 for music etc and ext 2 for apps. its formatted the same as before my phone died except im now using a 16gb card not 8gb.

why is it telling me there is no space when clearly there is?

thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malybru:
Hi

I think you are confusing internal storage and sd storage.

If you use a program like titanium backup, it will show you on the opening page all the available storage you have (internal,sd and ext).

If you have no internal storage, it's possible you didn't use correct system partition according to the [OP] recommendation.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jesusice:
The Market did that to me earlier too. It's some kinda glitch. I was able to download the app after I just tried a few times.

You can use spare parts 2.1 Update (it's somewhere on the forum) to make App2SD+ install apps on the External storage (the ext2/3/4 space)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] moti1elash:
I think that you need to download a script that fixing this problem because the market application needs a links to the cache files.

[HTC Inspire 4G] homescrub:
Phone: HTC Inspire 4G

OS: Android 2.3.3

ROM: CyanogenMod 7

Through trail and error, running into many "android.process.media" errors, I was finally able to clean it all up and the errors are now gone!

This error seems to stem from a few factors. 1) Google Apps being downloaded by the phone once logged in and 2) running backup/restore programs (Titanium Backup). It seems that the OS has issues with identifying certain things, so when the phone is downloading them automatically, and while at the same time you're using an app restore method too, the kernels get messed up causing the errors to start. It corrupts the Media Card in the process of reinstalling apps manually when the phone on your Google account is already downloading them too. Only thing to do is let your Google account (market place) restore your apps first. Once done, install other apps. My best bet was to have a clean, reformatted MicroSD card and a fresh install of CM 7. No other way to do it.

This can also be avoided by unticking the box that asks if you want Google to reinstall your apps. Only shows up on a fresh install of CM7.

Now, because the MicroSD Card will be re-formatted, this is a great time to know that your phone won't lose the OS since its internally in the phones memory, but you will lose your contacts and other data again, but easily comes back one you sync your phone to Google Contacts. So anything you have on your SD Card, Back it up externally (preferably pictures, video, etc) But I will exercise a thought to anyone who keeps getting these "android.process.media" errors. Reinstall CyanogenMod 7 (CM7) and clean out Data and Cache, no backup. If you back up both, the CM7 backup will cause errors. A fresh install is preferred.

Sure you might have to sit there reinstalling everything and working your way around stuff, but a clean phone with fresh installs is better than a phone giving you errors. Took me a total of 5 hours to get this right.

Once you have things right, no error messages, back up your ROM and hold on to it.

Since doing this, My phones battery lasts 7-9 hours with no bloatware (carrier apps).

I am only sharing my solution to this problem. So if you are not sure on what to do and/or have bricked your phone, then I am not responsible.

Also, if you believe you might have corrupted your MicroSD Card, I would highly recommend buying the following tools: 1) Kodak SD Card Reader and 2) MicroSD Card Adapter. Cost: $22 at Radioshack. Worth having around because when I thought my SD Card was dead, this little tool was able to restore it and reformat it, especially when I couldn't reformat it from the phone or connected to the PC. Its probably because it piggybacks off the adapter. Worth the money.

hi,

i cann't see dexter recent

i wonder did he cancel develop xt720 ?

best regars.
[Milestone XT720 General] reverendkjr:
I believe that he may have stepped back a bit to allow for others to build on top of what he has done. The development for our phone has not stopped since Dexter's last contribution.
[Milestone XT720 General] AllGamer:
indeed there are 2 live ones going on, and one of them just got upgraded to v4 it was still v3 yesterday

on top of that Dexter also works on other phone models/ROMs as well, he's a busy man
[Milestone XT720 General] mediaon:
hope that he comes back and bring some newest rom for xt720 soon
[Milestone XT720 General] Knoedelkopf:
In my opinion Dexter already did enough for us, Froyo is great with all these improvements (khalpowers, mioze7oe .........) now.

If there was a gingerbread ROM for XT701 or so he would maybe be able to develop a new ROM for our XT720 :D
[Milestone XT720 General] AllGamer:
you forgot to mention the Motoblur version that he also ported over from other devices

so yes, unless there is anything new, or exiting like 2.3.3 then i doubt we'll see him releasing new stuff, unless we find a major glitch that needs to be fixed on 1.3, which Mioze7Ae already have done a wonderful job at it.
[Milestone XT720 General] Tavinsky:
I am very grateful to Dexter and Mioze7Ae, because thanks to them my phone has Froy and other improvements. I do not think the XT720 has a chance to have 2.3 gingerbread, or is there some Motorola phones to be compatible ROM for the XT720?
[Milestone XT720 General] sebastimau:
Dexter

I agree. Dexter has done plenty for the community. he took the development of the phone to a place where other people can take over. Khal has done a great job with his ROM. (look it up. its is awesome). And i think people already mentioned this he is involved on alot of stuff. The only thing that i still want from the phone us the ability to flash a unsigned kernel like fjfalcon kernel. Anyways back to the original topic, buy dexter a beer; he made a big contribution.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qipengart:
Honestly for me, this Transformer is going to be the device of the year for XDA people due to

1) No carrier junk or bloatware

2) No locked boatloader

3) Easy to root away

4) High potential for custom ROM's

5) Awesome specs

6) Flexible switcharoo between tablet and netbook

7) The price is right.

Along with the Viewsonic G Tablet I suppose that this is probably the most customizable device in the tablet world, I presume?

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drummr8:
or at least wait until the thing is released everywhere and more people actually have it in their hands lol
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gubiguy:
I think the Transformer is bound to be a great tablet. However, it's the first of it's kind (along with the Acer Iconia) to be extremely affordable/customizable/efficient, and include a very tantalizing accessory (surely more is to come). I believe that future Android tablets will only build off of what the Transformer and Iconia have established as the "new" widespread tablet standard. Come January 2012, will the Transformer still be the best on the market? Nah, probably not. It'll probably be overshadowed by some quad-core/super high-res/2 GB of ram sporting monster that, while incredibly powerful, will be more fairly priced for its specs (unlike the Xoom and iPad).

That's just my theory. All-in-all, I'd say we, the consumers, can expect great things to come from the tablet market following the release of the Iconia and Transformer.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soalle:
I think the impact of the Eee pad goes beyond that.

Asus _created_ a new market in late 2007 onwards with the eee pc - aka netbooks.

Here, I think they are doing it again: the asus eee pad is not only a very valuable tablet because of being the first HC tablet at an affordable price, but because it natively transforms the tablet itself to a device that can be used also for producing content.

In my opinion, the nature of it, being both tablet and netbook - i.e. a transformer, may actually create a new market as the eee pc did in 2007.

Consider also this: a vast part of the people using computers, they do it just for:

- surf the web

- email

- facebook

- viewing pictures

- viewing videos

- producing simple documents/spreadsheet/presentations

I think tablets can either already do these things or be close to do all these things (even with the current dual-core architectures). And the embedded hardware keyboard is a natural companion for many of these purposes.

Foreseeing where the technology will go is very dangerous and highly subject to errors, but considering also the current shift to "cloud" services, this will help even further to spread the use of tablets / transformers
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UPEngineer:
Hello all,

I have written a script to push as file to my TB and it works kind of...I just want to know why it is not functioning as it should.

Here is what I am attempting to do.

Since my HTC weather does not have my city listed and my weather is always way off, I hacked the HTC weather database to add my city. And it works great.

So I wanted to create a weather_update.zip to install using CWM to do all of this for me if I changed roms and to allow others to use it as well.

the file goes into the /data/data/com.htc.provider.weather/files directory.

My script mounts data, pushes the file, changes the appropriate permissions, then unmounts.

It works as intended because I can see the file using adb prior to reboot.

However, after a reboot, the file is overwritten by the original. I can even delete the file completely, reboot and it is rebuilt. So my modified file does not stick.

BUT, if I use root explorer and copy the file to the correct directory and change permissions, my modified file works even after a reboot.

I don't understand why it works one way but not another.

Is there a step I am missing in the updater-script?

Any help would be appreciated....

Thanks,

Scott
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbu:
I could be way off base here but wouldn't you have to recursively delete the original to keep it from rebuilding?
