[HTC Desire S] Blezz:
guys seriously there is no need for everyone here to say now that u have to look for a xtc clip

NO ONE cares if u get a xtc clip, really NO ONE

and this is still the development forum, so unless u don't have anything to help developing here, BE QUIET

@.sh4d0w. :

u can try temporoot + change build.prop to make alpharev think it's a incredible s and replace their hboot with our eng hboot

i don't take any responsibilities and i don't know how they check the device but it could work
[HTC Desire S] jazzaddict:
change build.prop?
[HTC Desire S] yerfdes:
maybe we can wait within a week or two and see if alpharevx can do something with regards to DS... Still crossing my fingers...
[HTC Desire S] miniterror:
Do a search in the market for prop editor.

Build prop contains info about the phone and if you change it there is a chance that alpharex works as it could think you have a is instead of a ds
[HTC Desire S] Blezz:
my fear is that editing build.prop and forcing alpharevx to work will end mostly in a bricked device
[HTC Desire S] jazzaddict:
and how do we change the payload from there to load Desire S ENG hboot?
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
I would suggest that there is high percentage chance that it might brick the device...

So a better suggestion would be pm the alpharevx team...

ask how much time is expected...

if its just a matter of couple of weeks we can wait else we can go for sumthng drastic...

Btw i am as eager as u r to hav an S Off ;) ;)
[HTC Desire S] Blezz:
that's the question, anyway i just mentioned the way i think it could run, i'm not about to look further into this cause like vampire said, the risk of bricking is too high
[HTC Desire S] luca2006:
what does it mean ? :-(

Team Alpharev does not reply if they are asked about Saga support

and I do not know why!

probabily they will not support it

and I think that we need to do it by our selves
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Na i think dey wud...

Cos incredible s and desire s both have similar locks (m nt saying same)...

Reply maybe cos dey r busy replying thousands of mess dat dey myt be getting asking stuff related to incredible s s off...

so suggestion as maybe a senior member to ask dem or wait till dey find tym to rply...

Gosh i so wish that dey strt supprting desire s evryday wen i get up...:)
[HTC Desire S] sevag00:
^God. Do you know how to write English in proper grammar? Or, you're just writing like that because you're lazy?
[HTC Desire S] slvrbllt:
Hey mate,

I guess that you use to write in that way when you send SMS to your phonemates. Fitting more words in a single message is just a way so save money after all.

But posting messages here does not cost you a dime.

So please abide by netiquette and save us from reading like retarded.

Cheers.
[HTC Desire S] Blezz:
or you can't read english cause i don't have any problems understanding vampir ;)

well it's easy why they don't reply, cause if they tell now that they are gonna support the desire s i bet they will be spammed like "when its finished" and such thigns, so if they just keep quiet until it's done or at least near beta they can avoid a lot of useless & annoying questions

@luca: that means, if we are trying to cheat alpharevx (let it think that the desire s is a incredible s) it will end mostly in a brick cause we don't know the exact way or exploits the program is using so we don't know if it will harm our desire s or not, even if it's very similar, it are still different devices
[HTC Desire S] pippogsm:
Last night I asked in their irc channel if there will ever release a version that supports the DS, and an admin responded that they will.

Unfortunately he did not give an ETA for this release.

So I guess we are still stuck for a while.
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Gosh...

Didn't realize it was this tough to read my message...

Would take care next tym to curb as many short forms as i can...

@Bless thanx for the support man...nice to know atleast you dn't feel am talking alien language...:P

Btw I guess we should wait for a couple of weeks before taking any drastic step...

The best we can plan till then is short list and make an order in which we plan to try the custom roms...wat say...:( :( :(
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
@sevag000 : My grammar ain't that bad...just a bit lazy and habituated to that language...

I write that way not to save money...rather faster writing and saving time...:)

But wud take care as much as I can...
[HTC Desire S] brokenworm:
I "dont think" it has to do about replacing hboot seriously.. Its about some other AT@ "commands" .

Sry

Thats just my guess.. no more

Sent from my HTC Desire S
[HTC Desire S] lamzor:
or maybe it is because they get 200PMs a day from people asking if it will work on device XXX or YYY.

me and several pple asked the team on their IRC chan and they said that it should work on DesireS without a problem. propably not right after release, but it will be still cheaper than XTC.

if you cant wait, buy XTC clip.
[HTC Desire S] luca2006:
;)

we have no way to get xtc clip here !

no paypal account (country not supported yet!)

no credit card (local money not supported)

that s the problem
[HTC Desire S] Blezz:
anyway any crying isn't helping u much in this case

and asking the devs 100 times if and when they gonna release the alpharevx for desire s isn't improving their development speed or their development plans

so if you got nothing to help development then go to some friends and QQ in their arms and don't spam the forum ;)
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Guys plz no spamming on xtc clips and when when when...

If someone has some serious piece of information only then post them guys...
[HTC Desire S] nissl:
I Will be brave

I will be brave and try it with my Desire S today evening.

I will be at Home at 7:30pm UTC +1 :)

Hope it will work...
[HTC Desire S] Blezz:
if u read the threads about xtc clip u could already safe your time cause u'll see then that it doesn't works with the ds yet
[HTC Desire S] sevag00:
No problem bro. It's was getting a bit annoying, so i had to point it out for me and for the other members.
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Well All the best then...

Do let us know how it goes...

I seriously hope the risk pays dividends...:)
[HTC Desire S] jazzaddict:
Godspeed!!!
[HTC Desire S] yerfdes:
God speed air.. i hope this will be it..
[HTC Desire S] luca2006:
seems that we will get good news sooner

some users on the net speak about paied version for desire S with 0.98 hboot for 10$

let you know
[HTC Desire S] Blezz:
alpharevx will be released tomorrow for desire s for 20€

see? rumors. every idiot can talk such **** ;) only rely on official statements, not the statements of "some users on the net"... the net is big and 90% are idiots ;)
[HTC Desire S] luca2006:
if you want not be idiot don't trust in

and keep such reply for you

[HTC Desire S] chrishull85:
Why are they charging? i thought the idea of this community was to provide things free of charge and if you like the hard work that's put in you donate! This is just milking profit out of something that in the not too distant future will be free anyway!!! Very annoying.
[HTC Desire S] Blezz:
who the hell is saying that alpharevx will charge? no one except luca

it's up to now always free so yea of course, only desire s will cost smth, the other devices not

bullsh*t
[HTC Desire S] .sh4d0w.:
He was kidding lol. It will be free.

And even if they asked money for it, it's worth it.

That if the software S-off is reversible as i think. If it's ireversible, then xtc clip or alpharev makes no difference.
[HTC Desire S] luca2006:
If you read my post again you will see that

I never spoke about alpharev !!!!

I know that alpharev will do it for "free", some donation are always well comming
[HTC Desire S] chrishull85:
Ha that'l teach me to get some sleep so i can read things properly. My bad ill take any abuse people want to throw my way :D
[HTC Desire S] Blezz:
then you should learn how to write english luca

this thread is about alpharevx and you said there are rumors about a PAID VERSION

maybe its our fault? i mean, only chrisshull, shadow and me thought you talk about alpharevx
[HTC Desire S] ieftm:
To set the record straight, AlphaRevX will never be a paid service.

If you come across a paid service that is similar to what we do,

you can bet your ass it's based on our work, and therefore a big fat ripoff.
[HTC Desire S] .sh4d0w.:
And that says it all. :P

If you watched this thread, can i assume you guys will begin developing for DS ?
[HTC Desire S] ieftm:
You can. We've always had saga planned to begin with :)

More soonish.

kinda starmnge you CANT share it for free:s

it is youre own decision so you dont want to share it for free.(isnt the lesson of learning not enough?)

as for only two people using it is kinda to the fact that you probably didnt announce it somehwere where its important to announce

but then again now youre to late as alpharex is already busy with it and knows how to do it(see pic above)

to late to earn money mate and just right i think as its a sharing community and not a buying comminuty

I have developed an S-OFF software for Desire S 1 year ago before announcement of Desire S :))) make sense what I`m saying or you have to believe me? Here people are sharing stuff not selling. Thank you developers and I can`t wait to S-OFF my DS. (on topic: I`m new to android and rooting/s-offing so first step is to wait for AlpharevX to release their soft and use it and second to use some rooting software or AlpharevX is also rooting? And second after phone is rooted you can uninstall tweeter, news and others without installing new ROM ?)

[HTC Desire S] Vivimagic:
Can't wait for this :)

Awesome, can not wait to put Virtuous Unity 1.25.0 rom onto it :)

Just a question when changed to S-off would it put ClockworkMod Recovery (or similar) or would I have to install it myself?

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] leeston2379:
You'd have to install it yourself, but that's easy enough, just install ROM Manager from market, then flash recovery from there. You will most likely need the superuser apk as well.
[HTC Desire S] MehLon:
How do you find out whether your phone is S-Off?
[HTC Desire S] Gaudi73:
First go to settings/power from the menu and remove the tick for "fast boot"

Turn off your phone and while holding the power down key press the power button at the top. You'll go to the bootlaoder and at the top of the screen you can see the whether you are s-on of s-off
[HTC Desire S] Mikael1711:
It has to be "Volume down and power key".
[HTC Desire S] NexusCrazy:
thats what I'm running on mine, flashed a new kernel and it'll overclock to 1.7 + its an amazing ROM :D

Keep switching between that n CoreDroid Desire S GB 2.3.3 V1.2 Sense 2.1/3.0

Not made my mind up yet as to which I'll be running daily
[HTC Desire S] NexusCrazy:
I rooted with Gingerbreak apk then installed ROM Manager and flashed recovery from within ROM Manager, easy.

:D
[HTC Desire S] Vivimagic:
Hay I was just wondering if anyone could do a quick guide on how you S-off your DS at all please? Cheers it is cool if no one wants to but it would be very useful!

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] Tik_Tak:
how about reading a little in the forum?

you cant s-off with software
[HTC Desire S] Vivimagic:
A little rude :/

Well if you look at some people's signatures it does say that they have S-off there DS (Mainly looking at @NexusCrazy) using AlphaRev X. So it was just a suggestion if he had some time.....
[HTC Desire S] chris5s:
This option is only available to a very limited - some would say 'select' ;) - group at the moment.

Soon to be widely available? Who knows. But I agree, it would be interesting to hear the process involved.

[HTC Desire S] Boris911:
How much may cost join in to "selected" program, please? Because in the Czech republic (town Brno) is problem find anybody with XTC clip for Desire S.

And for me will be the best get software solution, for my device, if it have to be for the money, too.

tired to wait htc "sign" just ordered my one time clip... are you ready for rock'n roll baby? :cool:

Don't get your hopes up I ordered the payg clip tried to s-off it took the credit off and still s-on
[HTC Desire S] suiller:
I saw that the shop (based in UK) has both options to buy directly from online shop or from their ebay page... I chose from ebay just in case... my negative fb is warming up :D

anyway I read that dozens of friends had successfully unlocked their desire S, incredible, wildfire and the last one with sensation... so I still "hope" :)
[HTC Desire S] Boris911:
For me is the best solution and, if AlphaRevX will really work, I will be able pay for this solution, because I am from EU members and all post from asia and america are controlled. And there are not proof if it will arive. And for Pay as you go clip are not waranty.
[HTC Desire S] chubby65:
True works for most first time but some don't just wary of buying another unlock credit and not working again

I wish lol gonna wait and see what happens with alpharev first before having another go with the xtc clip
[HTC Desire S] Boris911:
Is any progress about software solution to switch Desire S to S-OFF, please?

My device with stock firmware are self restart lot of per day. And Sense falling down. Well I need S-OFF for tru another ROM.
[HTC Desire S] SKYPIRAT:
Reboots

You should better turn your device back if it's still possible as many say it's not firmware related problem. I also had 2-4 reboots per day and when the seller gave me another one I still have none for a week already. So probably it's hardware related.
[HTC Desire S] menirules:
Any news about that?

I will get my Desire S today...
[HTC Desire S] chubby65:
Bought another unlock credit worked 2nd time around now s-off what a difference it makes
[HTC Desire S] codding:
How can we S-OFF out HTC Desire S devices :(
[HTC Desire S] troxter:
You need to buy xtc clip, or find someone who already has it and unlock Your device.

Kind regards

Marcin
[HTC Desire S] codding:
impossible by software ?
[HTC Desire S] troxter:
For now impossible. I don't think that software unlocking will be soon. Don't waste Your time. Buy xtc clip.

Posting this from @boobleccie

I've got my Desire S S-OFFed! This time I rebooted with putting accum out and it worked!

Steps to S-OFF:

1) download alpharev x

2) connect your phone to Linux machine and select HTC Sync mode

3) start alpharev x. It will detect your phone and tell you it's serial

4) enter serial on alpharev x web site and get beta code

5) enter beta code when alpharev x app will ask for it

6) alpharev x will S-OFF your phone

IF step 6 didn't work:

1) you are already have beta code

2) turn off your phone

3) put it's accum battery out and then in. Do not power on the phone!

4) start alpharev x. It will wait for phone

5) power on the phone, connect it to the host machine, select HTC Sync mode

6) alpharev will detect it and ask for beta key. Paste the key you've got.

7) You should get S-OFF. If not - try once more.

Alpharev x app has a beautiful option - it can download and flash ClockworkMod recovery! No need for manual installation!
[HTC Desire S] chris5s:
Can confirm this works for DS.

Successfully rooted mine - tho had to use live Linux cd as the d/l link for Windows version of the alpharevx app wasn't available for me.

Great work

Edit: just to clarify, this will S-off the DS, use Gingerbreak or similar to gain root access :D
[HTC Desire S] claire78:
I have windows7, how can I use Linux without any installation?

AlphaRevX will work on this Linux??
[HTC Desire S] chris5s:
Download a "live cd" of any Linux distro and use that. I was successful doing it this way. Luckily I already had a cd kicking around but they can be downloaded easy enough.
[HTC Desire S] Mental_Atom:
Search for wubi. You can dual boot ubuntu hassle free, in like 2 clicks.
[HTC Desire S] HaSaNeMo:
I'm new in linux, how can I install alpharevx ?
[HTC Desire S] chris5s:
Connect your device to pc with usb cable.

Go to the alpharevx beta site and download the Linux version.

Extract the downloaded .tgz file to a suitable location - right click should give you an "extract" option - say, the desktop.

Open up a terminal and change directory to the location of the extracted app. eg cd/home/ubuntu/desktop or whatever.

From this directory, still in the terminal, type sudo ./alpharevx and it should be fairly simple from there.
[HTC Desire S] claire78:
i downloaded, installed. how can i start it?? :)
[HTC Desire S] chris5s:
Open a terminal, go to the folder/directory the program is in, and (with phone connected via usb) type sudo ./alpharevx

It should see phone and run from there. Think I had usb sync enabled, not sure if that matters

Hi,

i want to have the stock bootanimation on my N1 which is running CM7 #96

I have this attached bootanimation and want to sign it, so that i can flash it.

I dont want to push it to system/app via rootexplorer and change permission and reboot anymore.

How do i do that? Or can somebody get it done for me?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
It's a little more complicated than just signing it - in fact, you don't need to sign it, you need to create a flashable zip which will install the file.

I find the easiest way is to add the file to a gapps package in the right directory structure, so that everything gets flashed in a single zip. You would need to look at the install script in the gapps package, and make sure it first removes the existing animation, and then check to see if it installs the whole /system structure, or individual files. If it installs individual files, you will need to list your animation...
[Android Apps and Games] dr.ketan:
Yes not routinely we need to know coordinates on google map, N google also believe this, thats why they ppl disable in new version of map since long.

What actually need to get coordinates? exactly i needed it for one reason

I am using Navigon navigator, once my destination place is not mentioned in POI, How do i get navigation? once you are not much familiar with place. There is no online search option (atleast i know abt Navign India)

Here you need coordinates

Here simple guide to get coordinates from google Map

- Search your place on google map, long press it, it will popup address

- press address box and select to share this place

- select to share via , e.g. select messeging

- Now you can see a map link for your desired place, copy it

- Open Browser, Paste link in address bar, it will ask to open with, select Internet(Browser)

- Now your place will open in browser, n search tab contains digits in format of lattitude n longitude (like 22.306306,70.12345). Thats is your coordinate

- Note this and just open Navigon, select coordinate from menu, enter lattitude n longitude in respected field - Done

- Now you can get Navigation to your place offline with - Start Navigation

I know this is 2-3 step procedure, but if anyone knowing better n easy trick/ any app that showing coordinate share here:)
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Can't just navigate to the address? Anywho, maybe you should look into an app more geared towards back country navigation or geocaching. There are quite a few in this category.
[Android Apps and Games] jndrfq:
can you name one application please ? I want to be able to click on google maps and know the coordinates of that location. ideally i should be able to share the coordinates as well in a text format.

I can even pay for such an app.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Not using Google Maps directly... Locus is the best.
