[HTC Desire S] JDraco18:
how to root s-on device? or how to s-off my DS??
[HTC Desire S] chris5s:
My understanding is that rooting an S-on phone, if possible, only achieves a temp root that is lost on reboot. S-Off at present is only possible with xtc clip (hardware device) ( =lots of money). Software method is likely coming soon (ish) via alpharev team.

Suggest googling xtc and/or alpharev.

Waiting

When i run my GingerBreak and choose Root device, it says it's running the exploit and this may take a few minutes. I have waited 6 minutes and nothing happened. Followed your instructions but it seems that it's rooting forever.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Can you please provide some additional information about your device.

Your ROM version, HBOOT version, have you made the phone S-OFF? etc

then we'll probably be able to help
[HTC Desire S] chris5s:
@kikukiks - did you try rebooting anyway? It may have worked, just needs a reboot....

Hello gyies i am triyng for 3 days to s-off my phone with revolutionary tool and it doesnt work i tried windows and linux.... Please help....
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
For us even to try to assist you must give us more....

For a start what HBOOT & ROM version has your phone?

What errors are you getting, at what point it is failing? screen dumps would be useful ...
[HTC Desire S] iliasker:

[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
I'm assuming that you've rebooted your device since trying and have checked the status of it's HBOOT for S-ON/S-OFF??

I believe tha this can be done by following the guide that you'll find within this thread

Look for the section entitled How To: S-Off your device with Revolutionary: S-OFF & Recovery Tool where you find comments

NOTE: For HBOOT 0.98.0002, please use this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1194488

If you have done this, then please provide any output that you receive....capture screen if possible.

[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Yes type the (adb) commands shown in that post into a command prompt (a CMD) on windows XP.

If on Windows 7 then ensure that the CMD is run as Administrator.

The adb commands that you type into the running CMD use the downloaded fre3evo

Although it would be useful if you could cut and paste the cmd session contents into your next post so that we can see exactly what you are doing.

[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
1. Have you installed and then un-installed HTC_Sync (so that you are left with the drivers for the phone). You should find HTC_Sync exe on the SD card that came with your phone?

You can download it from HERE download and install and then (even though it sounds stupid) un-install it, it will leave needed drivers behind.

2. did you download and extract the fre3vo ZIP file? and is the file that came from it located within the same directory that you are running the command from?

3. Is the USB lead plugged into phone?
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
put it into the directory from where the cmd runs...

So after you run the cmd shell you'll need to manually change the directory to the desktop....(either that or copy the file to the directory that you're in)
[HTC Desire S] iliasker:
i had made that with the sunc yesterday... schuld i extract fre3vo to windows file??? what is udb lead??
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Have you un-installed HTC_Sync software?

The USB lead - is the cable that connects the PC to the phone

place the fre3vo file into the c:\temp\

Also when you run the cmd before you run the adb commands you should :

type

cd c:\temp

ok guys, ive tried it with the REVOLUTIONARY way, the program only did S-OFF on my phone, not rooted it. So when i go to the bootloader and selecet RECOVERY, a black screen comes out with a Phone and an Attention sign on top of it..

what is going on..? =[

+ i tried gingerbreak but did nothing =s

+ i know its my first post ever in here but i preferred till now to communicate from messages ;p
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
revolutionary only s-off your device

gingerbreak roots your device if you are s-off

after running gingerbreak you will get a error message saying something was wrong & will ask you to do a restart

do a manual restart & you will be rooted
[HTC Desire S] Niko0olas:
the only problem is that when i run gingerbreak, it just run and run for hours..
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
after running gingerbreak do you get a error message?
[HTC Desire S] Niko0olas:
no. i get into the application. i press root and then it wont stop running
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
i think you are already rooted your device in your previous attempts

try installing super user & root check from the market & check if you have root
[HTC Desire S] Niko0olas:
Root Check:

Root access is not properly configured or was not granted.

Superuser.apk - com.noshufou.android.su - is NOT installed!
The application Superuser is recommended as it provides basic security and is available for free in the Android Market

The adb binary is set to default shell user access as a standart non-root user.

[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
was this after you installed super user?

if it wasn't then

first install super user & then root check

& run root check (you dont have to run super user, just need to install it)
[HTC Desire S] Niko0olas:
ok i've installed super user and this is the message i get from root check:

Root access is not properly configured or was not granted.

This is what happens when i boot recovery:

edit

: i think the problem is that i dont have the recovery image on the phone, still have no clue how 2.

[i so miss my Xperia x10 and my Nexus One - sold them 2 buy DS]
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
im not exactly sure,but that's what it looks like...

this problem never happened to me when i rooted so there must have been a error when using revolutionary...

try installing rom manger from the market then run it & choose flash clockworkmod recovery

but i think its better if you wait till you get more replies
[HTC Desire S] Niko0olas:
actually i did something... wow

i followed this guide and i managed to get S-ON again.

it says you have to have root access but it worked like a charm, i just skipped the "su" command.

I'm gonna give Revolutionary another shot,

hopefully i will manage to get things right.. :o:p
[HTC Desire S] Niko0olas:
ok guys, after going out im back home again.

I've gave a last shot to Revolutionary.

And it works like a charm now.

I may write a Full Guide now how to root and unroot these Sagas'.

Credits ofcourse will be on the developers.

Hi everyone,

One question, on your daily use of Nexus S, what have you found to be the best clock - best performance/battery cost ratio?

I'm using the latest version of netarchy kernel with CM7 so taking the respective clock and voltage frequencies table under consideration, would you advise me to go all the way to 1.4 Ghz since it doesn't have much impact on the battery or should I have a more conservative approach and stick with 1 Ghz?

Thanks

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0soPolar:
My understanding is that there are a few layers to this problem.

1) The hex edited libflashplayer.so (altered file that makes the site believe the flash is on a windows comp and not an android device) that is floating around out there will cause Hulu to work when using CM7 7.0.0 and Warm Z twopointtwo RLS1 (confirmed) but must be re-pasted into the data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib every time that the phone is rebooted.

This is due to the fact that the stock flash 10.2 that is installed on these roms does not have the hex-edited libflashplayer.so in the .apk.

2) On most newer Rom releases (have not confirmed all of them,) the process of replacing the stock libflashplayer.so with the hex-edited version does not cause hulu to work. This could be due to several reasons that are beyond my understanding.

Does anyone on here know of an app that is a good replacement of hulu, or have the ability to create a hacked Flash 10.2 apk that will resolve all of these issues? I would really like to have some tv streaming access during my downtimes, I'm sure others would be much appreciative as well.

Hulu came loaded on Skyraider 4.0 and works fine...I'm watching it right now.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0soPolar:
I had seen some feedback saying that was hit and miss for some people. I like that it is preloaded on Skyraider 4.0.

I would like to see some other Roms cook it in too...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theguitarguy58:
Yeah but the flashplayer on skyraider is 10.1 not the latest 10.2
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s197:
It works on Ruby ROM. It's not as smooth as Flash 10.1 though. It's not choppy but it does have pauses in the video about every 20 seconds or so. I would just stick with 10.1, I don't see any benefit to 10.2 for the Inc.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfd9999:
For the hulu app to work go into your browser settings and turn off mobile view.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0soPolar:
False. This only works on Roms where the hacked flash.apk comes cooked in. On *most* newer roms...where it's not cooked in...modding the flash with the libflashplayer.so exploit does not resolve the lack of hulu function, regardless of browser settings.

It is not detecting your browser settings, it is detecting your version of Flash, which is specific to Android phones, and therefore currently blocked by Hulu.

I wish it was this simple, but sadly it is not. Confirmed with test.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] taob:
Just installed Elelinux-7.1.0-Hero-v2.1, poked around in Dev Tools, and apparently turned on some debugging feature I should not have. Now my phone goes into a reboot loop. :( It isn't a full reboot... only the Android boot animation is shown, not the initial HTC splash screen. It makes it up to the lockscreen and the phone is responsive for about 10 seconds before it freezes up and reboots.

This isn't enough time for me to unlock the screen, open the app drawer, run Dev Tools, and change back the setting before the phone reboots. Is there another way of manually clearing the Dev Tools settings without having to do a factory wipe?

Since I can't get into Dev Tools now, I cannot say which options were enabled. I turned on one that shows the touch coordinates, and I think another that shows the running processes (trying to track down battery drain issues). There may have been a couple of others, but due to the delay in the reboot, it's hard to tell exactly which one is the culprit.

So I'm hoping there is some way to bring up the phone in single-user mode, edit or delete a settings file, and then rebooting the phone. I'm using the AmonRA recovery console, if that helps.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] m4rk84:
I'd just reflash...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] taob:
Yeah, there isn't much on the phone yet, so I could do a wipe and not lose anything, but I'd rather see if there is a way to recover in case something like this happens again in the future.

I did find an issue tracker page on Google that describes the problem, and a couple of proposed fixes. I'm not allowed to post links yet, so demangle this to bring up the page. I'm going to try editing the settings.db file and hopefully that will fix things:
