As it's your first time (I'd suggest)

(although as with any advice that you read on here it is given with best intention only and not necessarily correct....do this at your own risk)

1)

S-off (if by XTC this will also perform factory reset of your device so ensure you've sync'ed/ backed up data first)

2)

Download and run ginger break (to get root (then reboot)

3)

download and install the free application rom manager from android market

4)

Use rom manager to flash CWM (very simple option and it will do it for you)

5)

Use rom manager (gui - very easy) or CWM to perform your first full (Nandroid) backup

6)

follow wipe instructions that come with the custom rom installations instructions that you're planning on installing, if installing LBC rom (personally I've suggest this one) then there is a specific wipe script to run

7)

Download and Install custom rom

good luck

You can update to ext4 recovery at a later time when all the above has worked
[HTC Desire S] MarylandCookie:
If he uses the original CWM to do a wipe he will end up with an ext3 partition.

Better off installing cwm through rom manager and booting into recovery and flashing ext4 recovery. Then backup rom and flash custom rom.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
O yer , good point, although if he installs ext4 afterwards won't it convert the ext 3 to ext4 for him?

Anyway I was suggesting that he runs LBC wipe all script that I believe will only make ext4 partitions
[HTC Desire S] yerfdes:
Thanks guys for all your help i would really appreciate everything...
[HTC Desire S] Starfine:
Sure. In my country, There're many forums about HTC or Smartphone, and many people exchange their experiences through the forum. Then I'll give you a useful website:

after you click it, choose HTC Desire S section.

It's a chinese forum. You can get some help of language from Google Translate.
[HTC Desire S] yerfdes:
Can you send me the link? And can you teach me how to use google translate?
[HTC Desire S] yerfdes:
let me up this question.. whats next after s-off using alpharevx? what should i do first? root? install what? flash what? can you give me a step by step process upto flashing a custom ROM? hope someone is patient enough to provide me a instruction...
[HTC Desire S] evmt:
Did you install CWM recovery after getting S-OFF (alpharevx tool asks whether you want to)?
[HTC Desire S] JasonTJC:
guyz little help here.. whenever i try to flash rom, it keep say error *****.zip(bad) ... how do i fix this? new to all this >.<

edit: okay nvm i guess its bad img .. is flashing now ~
[HTC Desire S] yerfdes:
actually im waiting for alpharevx windows version... i just want to know the step by step procedure on what to do first upto the last in order so i would not end up bricking my device..
[HTC Desire S] det66:
TBH I've never used Linux before but just run Ubuntu from disc and it was pretty easy

I used this guide http://xdaforums.com/show...&postcount=138

Just dont follow steps 13, 14 (since this is for another phone)
[HTC Desire S] ghuk:
Wew! finally I was able to S-off my Desire S! but my question is what's next?

Sorry I'm a total noob on this. Btw, After the s-off process, alpharevx said if I want to install clockwork recovery, I typed "Y" then it says "downloading clockwork for saga" but after that nothing happens. It's just stuck there so I disconnected my device and rebooted it.

How can I install clockwork and how can I root my device? thanks
[HTC Desire S] yerfdes:
Download ext4 v1.1.1 and folliw the instruction in thread. Its easy.. Btw ghuk sorry if im not to active today when soff is available our thread. I am a bit busy on more important matters but later night i will be active.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
If your S-OFF you should be achieve root using Ginger Break http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1044765

Then either simply install ROM Manager from the market which will give you a one click option to install clock work mod or alternatively

4EXTRecovery v2.0.2 RC2

which is a re-worked version of CWM (improved, easier to use with more options ) - would recommend this as it currently has great support and is updated very regularly.

You should also stop from double posting the same questions in multiple threads.....
[HTC Desire S] TheReaperUK:
This is how i did mine with ALPHAREVX Beta.

1: I downloaded a rom first and copyed it to sd card.

2: Use AlphaRevX Beta and when it asked to install ClockWork Recovery i said YES.

3: Once all was complete i entered recovery and BACK UP my ROM.

4: Once complete i then WIPED all.

5: Then install rom from sd card.

6: Rebooted and waited, all worked and am running Virtuous Unity 1.27.0 with no problems so far, Happy Days.

Ey how did you fixed it .. i have the same problem and cant seem to solved it...

PLEASE!!!! HELP!! this Noob
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
I'd try to re-download the ZIP file, sounds as if its corrupted.
[HTC Desire S] jona2503:
Okay..

what should i do??? I got no clue what to do now??

I tried a different rom and doest seem to work to..
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
You need to provide more information so that we can try to assist you any further. As to what you're trying and exact errors etc...

Start by explaining what you've done so far, I'm assuming that you've run AlphaRevx and that when you boot your device into bootloader it shows as S-OFF?

Did you install the Clock Work mod recovery when prompted by AlpharevX? are you still able to boot your device into recovery?

I'd re-download one of the custom ROMS, place it on your SD card and then attempt to flash your device with it?
[HTC Desire S] jona2503:
Sorry .. i wil try in my best english..

Yes i did, i followed the instructions to s-off with Alpharev

and when ask to install CWM recovery i said yes.

Yes i still can boot into recovery my device.

I tried that ..

I download a custom rom put it on sd card

and followed the instrucions as was writtin on the previous page..
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Your english is fine.

Which custom are you attempting to instal?

Can I ask that you write down again in great detail exactly the error that you're getting? When you select the option "flash zip from sd card" from within CWM.

Did you download the rom file from the web again, to ensure that the version you tried wasn't corrupt?

from my HTC Desire S using XDA Premium App
[HTC Desire S] jona2503:
I'm trying to attemp Saga_Lbc...zip

and when im in CWM (i have CWM v3.0.2.6)

it doest ask "flash zip from sdcard but" it has the option "install zip from sdcard".

after chosen that it ask "choose zip from sdcard"

i have chosen "Saga_Lbc_....zip."

And Then!!

[HTC Desire S] lynxnoon:
@ben_pyet

I would advice you download another one......seems that one is corrupted

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Possibly try another sd, it could be that your card has a problem, so find a new sd card and format it, then re download the rom from the internet, you can always copy and files from your original cars into your pc and then back into tort new card, do that you dont loose them
[HTC Desire S] jona2503:
I tried another sdcard format it and put a rom on it..

flashed it and....

It WORKED!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH for your help and patience..

[HTC Desire S] dohnjoe:
Why does gingerbreak require a formatted SD card, anyone knows?
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:

It actually does not. It is just one way of troubleshooting just in case someone uses a special formatting.

Good day EVO enthusiasts, I'm posting in hopes that someone may have a solution to our problem. The genie widget doesn't work on the EVO. Anyone know why and is there a fix I should know about. Genie is my favorite news supplier. Can't function without it. Searched everywhere, can't find a suitable substitute. Feel free to point me in the right direction if you guys know of fix or a decent substitute. Thanks

[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] Arthur Hucksake:
Hi folks,

Recently flashed my Omnia 7 to the generic retail UK rom to get rid of the T-Mobile splash screen and search.

Trouble is, I have lost the 3G toggle option.

I have the option to toggle 3G data, but not the cell.

Any ideas? Is the T-Mo UK rom the only one that can switch between 2G and 3G?
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] kieboy:
Look here
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] Arthur Hucksake:
That's for 3G data, not cell. Like I said in my thread post. *Facepalm*
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] slysy:
If you are homebrew enabled the Samsung Tools app can add this for you (regardless of the rom that you are using)
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] Arthur Hucksake:
Think I was too late to the party for the Chevron stuff, I assume that's what you mean.
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] slysy:
I don't think it's possible without homebrew unfortunately. It's controlled by a registry setting, which there is no way to modify without a homebrew program of some sort.

Edit - If you don't mind having to use an ugly GUI then you could try this to toggle 2g/3g (doesn't require DEV unlock):

Go into diagnosis (##634#)

Enter code *#2263#
[EVO 4G General] KennyCap:
So I'm running Kings Rom 7.3 its amazing. Only I'm having data issues, I'm only getting 1k. I haven't updated my radio yet. I'm new to this. I've only been rooted about a month. I did get the custom lock ring to work and I'm now rocking the blue skull. I can't do the ##3282# because the rom comes with a custom dialer. It really didn't bother me that much until I read the post below about the guy getting thrown off sprint for data roaming. Is it just that easy to update to the gingerbread radio? I know I've seen the link so I know I can find it. I also tried updating my PRL and profile to no avail. Any suggestions or is the 1K something I don't need to worry about. It would be nice to get 3g back. Thanks for any help
[EVO 4G General] billbowers:
Stock sprint roms always show data as 3g or 4g. The 1x was added in so you would know what speed you're REALLY at. If it's showing 1x, then chances are you've been at 1x all along... you just didn't know it until now.
[EVO 4G General] KennyCap:
Thanks Bill. I appreciate it. I know it's the King's ROM but you did have something to do with the lock ring and boot screen mods? Right? I was tryna post in the Kings Rom thread but since its dev I'm locked out at the moment. I didn't want to PM the King cuz he proly has mad people blowing his **** up. I would love to thank him too. This ROM is ridiculous!!! Next step flashing the transparent task bar...

Also I flashed the new radio,PRI,and wimax from Caulkin's list. Still 1K. Thanks for the info Bill. I was more worried about data roaming issues from the post below of the guy losing his service. Every now and again I get a roaming notification that clicks off after a second. So I got a little scared:-)

Thanks again you guys are amazing.
[EVO 4G General] billbowers:
Thanks. Had nothing to do with the lockscreen mods though.. just some additional color theming and battery icons. Glad you like the rom. Keep an eye out over there... cool new stuff coming out later this week.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shehzad:
My X10 on stock ROM had gotten so slow, that I had to put someone on hold for 2 minutes just to retrieve a contact while in a call.

it was stock 2.1 with Jit, the Linkpack score was close to 32 after JIT(earlier it was around 5.5) but the phone kept getting slower by the day, and I would get the occasional restart(1 a day)

I removed all the bloatware, tried setCPU, taskkillers etc etc, nothing helped.

I was pinning my hopes on GB, but i couldnt wait till august so I went ahead and installed .67, 2.1.B.01 and zKernel 2.6.29 for .67. that helped, but only for a while.

I have just now removed some more apps(GO contacts, Fring, some more) that I really liked.

The phone restarts more frequently now(3 times in 2 days), it just went in a boot loop and recovered by itself.

So now I begin to test all the ROMs out there...thinking of starting with MIUI. any suggestions??

Should i start with 2.3 or 2.2 stay on 2.1?:confused:
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Just try repairing using seus or pc companion.

this will put your phone to "Out of the box" condition.

If you want more speed with a stable rom, try wolfs v007.1 rom.

Its very fast (I hit 37.9 on linpack) and stable.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a.monteiro:
I've been using wolf's rom as my main for months, and i'm pretty happy.

Woke up this morning to find the WiFi had stopped working....whats even more odd is that somehow i am back on the stock kernel!?!

ill start with the custom ROMs then

Since I found the HTC Leo's Sense quite difficult to edit the bloody Manila files (in OMNIA was... totally simple project), I'm willing to give (via PayPal donate) some cash, to someone who can create what I need...

He (they") will give me the exact dimensions of the files and I PERSONALLY will create my own graphics and I'll give him (them?) the files and he (they?) will create me what I want...

I want:

1. Co0kie (my personal) clocks (flip/analog)...

2. Slider (my personal) icons...

...and a couple things more; I'll have to check.

Anyone interesting?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] poyensa:
Try CHTtweaks. You can change many of the items of co0kie home tab including flip & analog clock, softbar, lockscreen & SMS & email widget using simple png files; also you can get lot of transparency and easily chage text fonts. All with a simple file explorer, forget about manila files.

Regarding the slidertab is a bit more complicated, but if you upload here your png files for sure some other user will kindly help you. To start with you should install in your PC m9editor and / or CFC_GUI; also Resco Explorer or Total Commander in your device; then do a search in your device's windows folder for *_manila; then copy all the founded files to your SD and from there to your PC.

In post #8 of this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=696214 I did update a zip with all the files included in the slider-tab. Unzip in a separate folder in your PC. The files have the manila names, but png format. You can edit each one with PS, just keep the names and the sizes. It will be easy to convert them back to manila format before put them in your device.

Do it slowly, and ask here what you need. And do not forget to enjoy!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ericv99:
poy any reason why you would copy manila files to sd card first then pc?

i would just open windows folder on pc then copy straight to the pc.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] poyensa:
You are right, probably my PC is very slow so i transfer the files using the card reader and i also like to have a backup copy of manila in SD. Of course is not essential .... the most important is to put all manila files in PC -no matter how- and do the edition there.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ericv99:
lol your pc is slow?

I may have you beat. it takes my pc about an hour and a half to copy all manila files.

Thxs all of you, for the interest.

But... I don't know the BLOODY DIMENSIONS of these graph files!

I'm pro designer and if you may check bellow the link, I made a "total-theme" for OMNIA - took some serious time, but was easy, after all.

In OMNIA's "Manila", the project was so "crystal"; just copied EVERY graph file from Windows folder (mobile) in my PC, edited them, re-copied back to mobile... Or even better (with M2DC), I was extracting the ENTIRE theme somewhere in my mobile, copied the theme in the PC, opened via WinRar, editing the files, re-placing back in the "rar" theme file... and back to mobile!

SIMPLE!

In Leo's Sense Manila, it's NOT THAT simple!

Anyways... Is it possible, someone, to give me the BASIC files for these graphics (for example, Sliders icon mask and icon itself, Slider tab's icons, Co0kie clocks seperated graphs, etc.), to edit them (make my own graps) and help me out?

HERE IS my first personal Co0kie wallpaper (wide) I made; maybe I'll make others too, but I like that (see bellow)...

So... I wonna make some serious modifications, with the... obvious theme!

Hi,

does anyone have problems charging your x8?

In the last few days i have really big problems to charge my phone.

With charger or directly connected to the PC most of the times X8 doesn't detect the connection.

sometimes after reboot or shutdown it starts to charge and connect the usb connection, other times it simply does nothing...
[XPERIA X8 General] kuyagaol:
cable maybe?

coz I never had that problem with so many rom I ever tried.

I mean its nothing to do with the rom.
[XPERIA X8 General] guelas:
i tried several cables, im guessing is my usb port on the phone...

i use your rom or froyobread usually and i have that problem on both so it's about hardware.
[XPERIA X8 General] bigboss1970:
I have a different charging problem... I can not charge my X8 when it's switched off...

In few words: my phone is switched off, I put the usb cable in the wall charger (or in the pc usb) and the phone , after 30 seconds, switches on automatically...

I want to charge my phone during the night. I don't want to be arrassed by nightly phone calls or sms... but my phone doesn't want to stay "switched off" so I have to chose the "airplane mode" to sleep well...

I did nothing to my phone apart installing SuperUser (I rooted it) and Xrecovery but NEVER installed a cooked rom or different firmware... I am on the original stock 2.1 ...

Any suggestion ?:confused:
[XPERIA X8 General] JonniiW:

I then got a replacement free of charge (phone was less than 3 weeks old) and havnt had the problem since.
