Hey, today i unlocked mine with an xtc clip.

Then I flashed the unsecured Boot Image. I hope it is called so ;).

After that worked successful, i rooted it with SuperOneKlick.

Maybe this works for you too.
[HTC Desire S] MarylandCookie:
Any chance you can get in touch with the developer of this as there seems to be a very annoying bug.

Everytime i include:

format CACHE or

format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p27", "/cache");

the recovery will not flash the ZIP. It will always give a STATUS 1 error.

So i have to manually format cache and run my ZIPS.

Thanks.
[HTC Desire S] mih_:
anybody successfully tried to revert on stock recovery?

fastboot says "FAILED (remote: not allowed)", and with cwm recovery it's impossible to try new OTA...
[HTC Desire S] loveboatcaptain:
hey dude,

i ported the recovery together with a friend. so i´m your man ;-)

i never noticed that there is a problem with formating cache partition, cause i don´t touch it with my updater-script.

so first question:

why you will add that to your updater-script? me for myself prefere the way of wiping my phone manually. and that works very well with CMR. i also tested it in the mount/partition menu.

i would not like it, when a script wipes stuff and i did not know about.

i only use format for system in my full update.zip´s. in updates for my rom i did not wipe anything.

second question: did you know that cache partition is always mounted when recovery starts? perhaps thats the problem.

regards
[HTC Desire S] loveboatcaptain:
those fastboot commands only works with an ENG S-Off bootloader. which we dont have. we have SHIP S-Off... there are differences between those both.

our bootloader can everything the ENG can with fastboot commands. we have to use a zip file to flash things like recovery or splash.

you have to add your recovery backup img into my PG88IMG-unsecured_bootimg.zip file from this post [BOOT] Root for S-Off with unsecured Boot Image rename it to PG88IMG.zip and add your recovery.img into that zip file and remove the boot.img file.

than put the file on the root of your sdcard and reboot into bootloader.

the file will be flashed automaticly.

after reboot your phone, rename the file again to something else, cause every time you are in bootloader and this file is named PG88IMG.zip on your sdcard thhe bootloader will try to flash it.

just a little tipp at the end: you can add every img file into this zip. system and data img files from nandroid backups are working too ;-)

regards
[HTC Desire S] mih_:
Thank you!

I'll try it next time, i'll need it :-)

But i've managed to flash it through flash_image from this link:

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#HBOOT_partition_map

with recover.img from OTA downloaded.

After OTA i've lost the root, but gingerbreak still works...
[HTC Desire S] dont know:
Could you PLEASE give me a short (or long ;) ) description how to install the ota?

No idea what to do with the linked code...

EDIT Extracted the boot.img from ota and copoed it to PG88IMG.zip - restart - run ota-update -> fail :(

EDIT2 I'm an idiot: instead of boot.img it is a great idea to try it with recovery.img *LOL*
[HTC Desire S] mih_:
You just have to replace clockworkmod ecovery with stock one.

I've taken it from OTA downloaded.

It contains file firmware.zip inside, which contains recovery.img as well.

You can flash it with tool flash_image (http://www.thinkthinkdo.com/trac/project1/raw-attachment/wiki/vision_utilities/flash_image.zip)

Just put it somewhere to device, where you can run it (for instance/data/local/bin/, /system/bin/ if remounted to rw, /sdcard if remounted to exec)

and run from device or adb shell like%

su

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

after that, you can reboot to hboot, check out that you do not have cwm recovery anymore, boot to android and install OTA as usual from menu...
[HTC Desire S] dont know:
does the recovery also do a backup of the radio?

(my wifi is broken sinve ota update - and I'm an stock recovery now, so can't test at the moment)
[HTC Desire S] MarylandCookie:
Cache being mounted or unmounted isnt the issue.

I can wipe cache manually but automatting it in the script seems the break the whole process.

Its good for testing and having a fresh install.

Lets android re-build everything.

[HTC Desire S] Dr.Romca:
<OT>Hey Guys, I'm currently S-OFF, but going to S-OFF and root, so I'm trying to suck in as much as I can, but the DS forum is somewhat not filled yet :)

But my question is: is it possible to make this as a "flashable" zip? - Koush did this for Legend loong ago :) that way we could run the CWM recovery without actually touching the partiton :)</OT>
[HTC Desire S] dont know:
It's no problem switching the recoveries:

clockworkmodrec can be flashed from ROMmanager

the stock recovery can be flashed per PG88IMG.zip in boot (I do have a PG88IMG_rec.zip on SD, so I've only to rename to have stock recovery)

When you're S-OFF(!?) you only need download gingerbreak for root..
[HTC Desire S] Blezz:
anyway to get the recovery image without rom manager? need it for some testings
[HTC Desire S] loveboatcaptain:
just attached a PG88IMG-RECOVERYIMG.zip file to the first post.

in it you will find the clockworkmod recovery image.

hope this will help you

Hi, please help me. after I copied file to sd card and boot in to bootloader (hboot) there is file checking and it doesn't ask me to install it
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
it won't ask you but if the file is named right, it should simply check for it and then apply it automatically

try booting onto recovery and see off thee version of clock work mod has changed
[HTC Desire S] spcking:
Mine was moved to SD card either and when it scans it don't say anything about this file or nothing I don't get y its not working

Sent from my Evo 4g running cyanogenmod nightly 87
[HTC Desire S] Dr.Romca:
It works just fine!

Just rename it to PG88IMG.zip (it might be case sensitive...??), move it to your SD card (e.g. in H:\ directly)

Then reboot to bootloader, once you're there (it will actually get you to FASTBOOT), press power button to get to BOOTLOADER (hboot) and then it scans and says you have a recovery to install....

Simple as that ;)
[HTC Desire S] spcking:
I've done all that place it in /sdcard file name is all caps except the .zip part reboot it scans and does nothing when it scans it says something about pc136.zip and that is it checked cwm and it shows 3.0.0.5 stil

[HTC Desire S] Dr.Romca:
are you running this on EVO or on Desire S? In case of a different phone the default update file name will differ... Also I'm pretty sure this is compiled for desire S only...

This is Evo

Sent from my Evo 4g running cyanogenmod nightly 87
[HTC Desire S] loveboatcaptain:
dude... you are on desire s development forum... not on evo 4g

sadly i have to say that this version will never run on evo 4g cause it´s compiled from source code for the desire s.

absolutely no chance to get this version running on your evo.

please ask koush himself (the dev of clockworkmod recovery) tords upgrade your version or ask in evo 4g dev forum if there is someone how can complie this newest version for your phone.

yeah i will try... but not today ;)

the hole evening got wasted cause i had to "re-build" by build-enviroment in an ubuntu vm cause my macbook always suckz in compiling stuff for android ;)

i´m personally interested in that mod version... so let´s see if i can port it.

regards
[HTC Desire S] loveboatcaptain:
yeehaa... it´s compiling ;)

hope this works ;)

i mean... it´s something i made... it must be broken... hrhr

p.s. will test and release tomorrow

good night

edit: works perfekt! nice new options arrangement is coming :D

edit2: this is so awesome!! i love it!
[HTC Desire S] loveboatcaptain:
well... quite funny...

i just tried to compile an old modded clockworkmod recovery version i personal used on my wildfire before switching to the desire s.

this mod is made by arco68 and you can read about it here:

[Recovery] ClockworkMod v3.1.0.2 (with offmode charging)

this version is a little older, but is doing his job more than well.

the special feature why i LOVE this mod is the "advanced backup" option for the nandroid backups. this is PERFECT for people like me who cooks roms.

this safes a lot of space on my sdcard when i made backups of versions which i might want to use later. (like switchen between my new builds). i only need system.img and boot.img to make a update.zip for you but have to backup the hole rom with data and caches. (safes 400MB per backup).

hope you rom-chefs will love this mod as much as me.

it also has a "wipe all" feature which safes some stupid klicks but has still the 7 no´s in confirm menu ;)

screenshots are from the original post...

will release it tomorrow together with j_rodd´s modded version.

i would pay a beer if somebody could merge those two things into one ;)

regards
[HTC Desire S] MarylandCookie:
Definitely agree, both of those features would be awesome!! :D
[HTC Desire S] loveboatcaptain:
will see what i can do...

both of them shared source code on github ;)

edit: contacted both guys to ask them to work together... awesome mods have to be merged to one... like cm7 ;)
[HTC Desire S] MarylandCookie:
LBC in latest version(s) backup is broken.
[HTC Desire S] loveboatcaptain:
mhmm... didn´t tested it yet. you mean in v4.0.0.5?

is j_r0dd´s mod also broken?

i prefer the arco68 mod ;) old and aproved ;)

regards
[HTC Desire S] MarylandCookie:
Im using 4EXTRecovery v1.0.6 by madmaxx82 which should be released soon ;)
[HTC Desire S] loveboatcaptain:
yeah nice... but which one is broken?

i perfomed a backup yesterday i see. it was made by stock v4.0.0.5

which one is broken?

regards
[HTC Desire S] MarylandCookie:
Unmodded 4.0.0.5 and j_rodds 4.0.0.5, they were the only ones i tried.

Restore doesnt work. Didnt try backup.
[HTC Desire S] loveboatcaptain:
could be that there is a problem when you use m-dejays kernel. i will recompile those versions tomorrow.

but curious that your the first one complaining about that issue.

i also build arco´s mod with the original htc kernel sources and made backups and restores a dozen times since yesterday to test my new rom.

if there would be a problem with m-deejay´s kernel it would effect the older build of arco´s mod too i guess.

i will have a look on that tomorrow

thanks for the tipp
[HTC Desire S] MarylandCookie:
Your probably right as i tested with MDJ's Unity Kernel.

So cant comment on otherwise.
[HTC Desire S] loveboatcaptain:
or wait some minutes...

i will build this asap... hope you could do a short test ;)

will add the img file here in this post when i´m ready... give me some minutes

regards

edit: uploaded, unzip and use the img file the way you want ;)

please report if it´s working with unity kernel. than i will rebuild j_r0dd´s and arco´s mod with unity kernel sources.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Please can you confirm which version(s) can successfully backup and restore full device as expected as we all obviously rely on this particular functionality.

I'd rather click 10more times than fail to restore... ?:mad::confused:

Thanks
[HTC Desire S] loveboatcaptain:
i can confirm that arco´s mod is working with MDJ´s unity kernel.

also i can confirm that the new 4EXT-Recovery is working.

the new compiled v4.0.0.5 one post above is unconfirmed but have to work, cause it´s compiled against new kernel from MDJ´s unity kernel.

perhaps someone can double check this that i can update packages and #1 post.

regards
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Tried to perform Backup with original 4.0.0.5 from post #1 and found that it ran in seconds....and only creates the following :

boot.img

recovery.img

system.img :confused::mad:

I then tried again with newly compiled Unity Kernel version from post #64

Although strangely it didn't seem to apply properly from HBOOT, simply said Parsing.....didn't ask me if I wanted to install recovery? :confused:

I went into recovery anyway and then tried a further backup which took a normal length of time and from screen output and the contents of folder on SD appeared to backup all necessary files. :) So I guess it did install correctly and did work. Although I didn't attempt to restore it.

Think that I'll go for the working 4EXTRecovery v1.0.6 and wait for the mod's to be incorporated within that.
[HTC Desire S] loveboatcaptain:
so i guess that kernel thing is fixed with the one from #64.

but i think it´s a problem from source code side of CWM.

it seems that some devices have problems with v4.0.0.x.

i contacted the dev of 4EXT-Recovery and he will merge all these versions to one "superhero" recovery ;) he fell in love with the custom backup feature, like me ;)

so i think we wait a little cause he is busy from job and family like me, but he will try to get this together :D

i´m very happy with this soluttion... and you? ;)

i will update #1 post that those recoverys i compiled are only working with MDJ´2 V2 and stock kernel.... NOT with Unity V1.

it´s possible to update the CM7 repo to the new files to compile it correct, but i didn´t have time for that the next days.

could you please confirm that recovery image from #64 is working, but can´t restore backups? was that right?

the one from #1 didn´t perform backups and couldn´t restore with unity kernel?

what is with MDJ´s V2 kernel?

i can confirm that the older build from arco´s source is doing everything that it should do. backups and restores running a dozen times with MDJ´s V2 and Unity V1 kernel.

4EXT-Recovery is working too... with both kernel. the advanced ext3 to ext4 changes are working too.

really a good job.

regards
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Can confirm that #1 with unity kernel backups were incomplete.

#64 again with unity kernel seemed to perform backups as expected.

But, I never attempted to perform a restore, so can't say whether it worked or not

Now using EXt4 version

Is there a way to get back recovery tool in Desire S and install any rom when I have S-On and I can't go further then FastBoot menu. Even adb doesnot work from console but fastboot works. I'm stuck in the first two screens right now Fastboot and bootloader. When I select recovery in the bootloader screen, It restarts to fastboot. I had S-off and using Custom ROM earlier. I tried to Install Official Shipped ROM which was quite older than I was using. It stopped in the middle of installation giving an error 140 bootloader version error.

For now my Phone works as a heater which can't warm my room, not even my pocket:P

more details on my problem http://androidforums.com/htc-desire-s/487211-stuck-hboot-help.html#post4006323 . I couldn't create new GoldCard because I don't have microsd card reader in my laptop and i can't get CID of my sdcard using fastboot. I don't know if that will work :confused:, but I have ordered Microsd card adapter in amazon just to try that. a little hope :)

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You need to boot up the phone holding down the volume down button.

[Defy General] ArcanisX:
Sorry for a possibly not "good" question, my Defy just arrived - new to robots, but I had win95 up and running for months right after release so probably not hopeless idiot, if ya know what I mean:p

So, the custom recovery is only accessible via "reboot into recovery" in themselves? What I mean is, installed this one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=875233 and it seems to work, but what bugs me is that the "hardware" power-up-while-volume-down still brings the old menu. Got me thinking, if I love my Defy into not loading Android at all, those nandroid backups gonna be useless cuz I wouldnt be able to access the expanded recovery boot menu, right?

Is there any method of getting custom recovery down at "powerup+volumedown" loading menu so I can safely love up my ROMs ;))))?

(Or even in that condition RSDLite + USB are normally enough? Worried that PC wouldn't recognize the brick if android is hopelessly broken)

Yep, I'm starting all my Android experiments with learning all about recovery :PPPP

Here are some standalone apps that I have created for my upcoming "Blacked Out" theme.

These will load to any ROM.....

The apps are Market, Gmail, Talk, and Google Search

Be sure that these apps are installed in your /system/app folder before flashing. All four are flashable.

Also make sure that you do not have the Market and Gmail updates in your data/app folder....

Hope you enjoy them and feel free to leave any bugs or issues in the thread..

After install, market will be "Black Market" in the app drawer and Talk will be "Dark Talk". The other two are named the same....
