More TWEAKS

No problem:),

I'll happily include tweaks, although the main reason that I was against including the one previously requested, was that the post only contained a single tweak and I was sure that I'd read a thread recently containing dozens (including the one mentioned above), it's literally taken me fifteen minutes of going through my previous posts to find it, but I have, deep on page bloody 10! Anyway, you've seen it too and it's now been added to the INDEX.

As this is a Virtual unity (only patch) then I'm not going to add it, as I believe that these BEATS patches are ROM specific and therefore it should be referenced from within the VU ROM thread.

You also need to provide more information regarding what upgrade you are actually talking about? along with what version of HBOOT, ROM you are on? etc...

Mate, I believe that this has worked for some, which is the reason why it's in the INDEX. I'm afraid that I can't be responsible for the content of these links, as I just maintain the INDEX. Perhaps, it would be a better idea to post your critical comments against the the thread that contains the actual GOLDCARD creation instructions, as it has an issues and solutions sections at the end - that way your input may be beneficial to us all.

EDIT: Since responding (above) I came across a couple of more up to date GoldCard creation methods that are from within this forum so I've re-directed the link in the INDEX to them. Give them a try.
[HTC Desire S] krustymk:
Cheers for the info. Ill check it out :)

If anyone is interested/would like to add a note somewhere i found the problem i was having creating the goldcard.

I was using Goldcard helper off the market, and whilst this shows the CID for mmc2 it submits the CID for mmc0!

So you need to manually enter the CID from mmc2 to the goldcard generating website and then i used the the goldcardtool to apply the image.

Sorted! :)

Help: Revolutionary & Radio Rom Installation ?

Hi,

I have some problems with my wlan and want to change my desires radio version to the latest but cannot do this in due to the lack of edifying script support. I set my phone to s-off with revolutionary tool http://revolutionary.io/.

The installation of the radio rom (install zip file from sd-card) stoped with an error message that the radiorom file needs edifying script support to install?

I found a converter script to compile the script support into the radio rom zipfile but I don't trust them and afraid to brick the phone with this modification during the radio update process. How can I install the radio rom file without this converter ?

Thanks in advance

shredman
[HTC Desire S] budingyun:
radio need to install using bootloader, not recovery.
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Could you pls write beyond the revolutionary exploit in big, bold letters something like, replace the bootloader with an eng bootloader after you unlocked it with this method, because it's not up or downgradeable with common methods and can cause big problems.

Would be nice, there are as many reports about problems and it looks like much of the ops of such threads aren't reading the other reports and this is really annoying.

Edit: And could you maybe also add at your 4 first points something like, before you start modding your device enable usb-debbuging and install adb at your pc to be able to give the developers and others proper logcat information about your bugs/issues, this can be a big help to fix/solve your problem.

Hello,

Sorry for delay in getting back to you....was Holiday Season....

I've made some amendments as you suggested but as you know ultimately its down to people using a reasonable mixture of intelligence and common sense and also actually stopping to read and understand the warnings, something that not many will bother to do...

Please provide me with a link for a thread which shows the method to upgrade your bootloader to ENG for revolutionary people and I'll link that to the comment.

[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Hi Ben, happy New Year and Welcome back to the Forum!

The bootloader can be changed easily with Android Flasher - which can be used for flashing Hboot, Radio, Recovery and Splash screens via user friendly GUI, so maybe it should be mentioned in the index as well.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Thanks and back at you! I put link to the flasher in the USEFUL LINKS section near bottom of index..
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Android Flasher was the reference for bootloader upgrade, that you asked Tectas for :)
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
O, Ok and thanks, I've amended the INDEX instructions accordingly....I didn't do this originally as I'm not really 100% happy to include a guide that I had not and couldn't test for myself. Can you vouch for the flasher to perform this task as I've detailed...?
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Then I guess this should be it. These instructions are for 2.00.2002 (the file is attached) but will work with 0.98.2000 as well. This thread is also present in the Index and requires adb, so not quite newbie, but I am afraid that cannot write a Guide too, just to advertise the Flasher, because it is not my creation.

Anyway as you mentioned above the people that are really reading the warnings will definitely find the way how to do this. Or maybe Tectas will write some guide ;)

I could, but cause much of my knowledge I got from you it would be senseless^^

I'm also in the same situation as Ben, I never faced such problems cause I'm xtc unlocked and can't test Android flasher. But the guide you linked is as much as I know the only option that succeed in 100% of cases and it's sure not bad if newcomers have to setup and get used to adb^^

Best bet would be to point them to the guide and include a hint that this procedure is possible with every hboot version, but that are just my thoughts.

Hi Guys, to make long story short, i bricked my DS last january, but know i got it back (warranty replacement), but i think this is the newer version, there's a ***LOCKED*** text above and HBoot is 2.00.0002 and my DS got a Sense 3.0 instead of 2.1 - how can i S-off this? - i used this --[GUIDE] How to S-OFF your 1.47.x ROM with Revolutionary (without downgrading)--- i did this before, but now i can't - please help me to s-off my DS.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
See post 148. The second (V2) should work for you.

The other way is to Unlock your bootloader via htcdev.com. This will allow to flash custom Recovery, ROM and Kernels. You will be not able to flash another bootloader or radio, but you have the both latest already.

There are two main disadvantages of going this way: you are sending information to HTC that you had voluntary voided your warranty (you have to agree with that during the process), and you need to flash your kernel separately every time when you flash a new ROM (extract boot.img from ROM.zip and flash it with the fastboot command).

So in my opinion is better to downgrade to a version that is supported by Revolutionary and S-OFF just like your previous device. This can be done with the link I gave you above.

Good luck

Hi

You say "It is recommended that after unlocking your device with Revolutionary you install an ENG bootloader, so that you can easily upgrade and downgrade your bootloader if required in the future - not doing so can lead to difficulties."

I s-off'd with revolutionary, and then just flashed a rom over the top.

What is an ENG bootloader? where do I get one? Why would I want to be able to upgrade and downgrade the bootloader if required in the future.......

Right now, I have "revolutionary" HBOOT-6.98.1002. Is this a problem?

While all the information and guides you have is absolutely fantastic and I appreciate it but I often find the guides are missing why it should be done. You just say "Do this, and this is how you do it".
