@sh4dow

sorry bro. I'm a real noob at this because this is my first android phone. I just followed the noob guide they suggested here. They said after s-off, I need to root my device usiing gingerbreak.

How and where can I get the CWM?

Btw, after s-off, aplharevx said if I want to install CWM, i typed Y, then it says downloading CWM for Saga, but after that nothing happened. So I decided to just unplugged my device because it already shows that I'm s-off. I tried to run the alpharevx app again but now it says that my device is already s-off.

So how can I download and install the CWM on my Desire S? thanks
[HTC Desire S] ghuk:
I tried the root checker it says my device is not yet rooted.
[HTC Desire S] Vivimagic:
I am seem to be having problems with the live CD and actually Ubuntu seeing my phone! :confused:
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
try running ginger break again.

and re-read my post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15513731&postcount=29 again that explains how to install CWM.

You don't need top be root to install CWM or the alternate EXT4 recovery that I recommend

can you please please upload gold card helper to media fire or any other wabsite ?????????
[HTC Desire S] b3by:
Finally, when I turn my phone on I can read that damned S-OFF!!

I needed some attempts and a lot of times, but at the end it worked like a charm!
[HTC Desire S] verifunny:
@ghuk, why don't simply get a customised rom. If you want this option, I wrote a simple guide for your reference.

Step 1: Get a copy of the ROM (I am using Virtuous unity 1.27). When you got the Virtuous Unity rom, copy it into your SDcard.

Step 2: Power down your device. Press and hold Volume down button first and then press the power button. Hold both buttons for 10 secs and release them. You will get to see the phone info. Check Hboot version and S-on/S-off status.

Step 3: Once you have verified the status of your phone, do not exit. Press Volume down button once to select "recovery" and press power button.

Press Volume down button to select "wipe data/factory reset".

Press Volume down button to select "Yes"

Press Volume down button to select "wipe cache partition"

Press Volume down button to select "Yes"

Press Volume down button to select "advance"

Press Volume down button to select "Wipe Dalvik Cache"

Press Volume down button to select "Yes"

Press Volume down button to select "Wipe Battery Stats" (if any)

Press Volume down button to select "Yes"

Press Volume down button to select "back"

Press Volume down button to select "install zip from sdcard"

Press Volume down button to select "choose zip from sdcard"

Select the rom.

Once the Rom installation is done, reboot the phone.

I found that it takes some time for the phone to be set up. Just be patient.

All the best !
[HTC Desire S] Valwit:
does alpha rev wipe the phone?
[HTC Desire S] chris5s:
No, leaves everything intact.

You must make the choice to wipe/install new rom, etc, once you are s-off.

Peace
[HTC Desire S] Valwit:
sweet.

the rest is clear, i gonna keep as it is just need root for some aps and the keyboard drivers..

in case someone missed: windows version is up.
[HTC Desire S] pdf5:
i have hboot 0.98.0002

how can i fix that
[HTC Desire S] sayeed91:
need help, ive connected my phone on a windows machine where do i get beta key from! thanks
[HTC Desire S] Vivimagic:
Is there a way of knowing that the phone has been installed and can be s-off?
[HTC Desire S] Valwit:
worked fine with the windows version, but gingerbreak seemed to fail. run over half an hour with no result. so downloaded su-2.3.1-ef-signed.zip booted into recovery applied the zip and problem is solved. root. finally :)
[HTC Desire S] chris5s:
Alpharevx will provide a serial number which should be entered into the box on the team's website to generate beta key. This number (beta key) should then be pasted into the alpharevx dialog box on the pc and it will s-off the phone automatically.

This thread is actually the support thread for alpharevx so maybe there are more answers there :D

Peace
[HTC Desire S] spoiled_iodkc911:
This may be late, but I came across a step-by-step guide from addictivetips that teaches how to gain s-off using alpharevx beta 2...it is both for windows and linux...I hope this helps...

mine is 98002. So took setting for 98000 on alpharev site, got S-off but woul not root with Gingerbreak. Tried Gingersnap and now have root :)
[HTC Desire S] Eastnorth:
congratulations
[HTC Desire S] MehLon:
Having problems with the Windows version, keeps saying my key is invalid but I've entered everything in correctly? :/

Anyone know how to fix this?
[HTC Desire S] ems328i:
I had that a few times, but if you copy the key (ctrl+C) then right click on the top of the AlphaRevX cmd window you will get a paste option. Then it works! I'm now S-Off, great work guys!!
[HTC EVO 3D] eman3316@optonline.net:
I think the 3d fun has lived a short life. I don't find myself shooting 3d video's or taking 3d pictures anymore. If the 3d had more of a pop out of the screen look, then maybe but most of the 3d available just looks like a hologram.

The thing that really convinced me I am over it was playing Asphalt 6 3d. I decided to put it in 2d mode so I can use the tilt feature to steer and then realized how much crisper and clearer the picture was and the colors were just beautiful. It made me really appreciate the 3d's screen. Put it back in 3d mode and everything just became so bland and dull with a hologram effect. Maybe if the car popped out of the screen or something it might seem much cooler, but until we start seeing things like that, I won't be purchasing any more 3d items.

At least it will be easier to jump ship in the future to a non 3d phone as I thought it would be something I would miss in the beginning.

Now after saying that, at least I still have a beast of a phone to play with!

Anyone else starting to feel the same way about the 3d and starting to use it less and less?
[HTC EVO 3D] mr.orange303:
Hell no. I watched transformers 3 in 3d and can't wait for that. An avatar 3d.

The phone is awesome for 3d movies.

The games is so so.

Some pics rock. Some split your brain.

But the movies. Damn I'm loving the movies.
[HTC EVO 3D] charnsingh_online:
I recorded 3d video with punching towards the phone , playback scared my brother
[HTC EVO 3D] Genjinaro:
Nah, still loving it.

I did turn it off for Asphalt 6 only because I only know how to play the phone racing games with the accelerometer.

[HTC EVO 3D] phatmanxxl:
Took a 3d video of my kids on a swing set, it looks really cool.
[HTC EVO 3D] 4dthinker:
3D is a bonus with this phone, and shouldn't be the main reason to get it. Mostly mine is used to show the phone off to friends. That and the printing capabilities. It took me 5 minutes max to get over the unique 3D experience glow. When I can lay the phone flat on a table and watch a movie play out holographically atop it I'll be impressed.
[HTC EVO 3D] rrsweet:
So confused why people think if it would think that if the 3d would "pop out" then it would be better. I think that looks cheesy and holographic. 1) you want that get creative and try new angles. It will have the effect. 2) Glad it doesn't I would have to wear glasses. to use and play with my phone.

sorry I'm a big fan of depth of field, and not Back to the Future II where Jaws pops out of the screen and tries to eat him.

I find myself taking almost all my pictures in 3D as I can convert them to 2D But I would hate to take it in 2D and later say Dang I bet that would have been awesome in 3D
[HTC EVO 3D] liverstealerJobs:
Loving it more everyday. Watching 3D video on it has spoiled me. 2D seem flat and uninteresting now. Can't wait for an Android 3D tablet.

I think you might be waiting a while...
[HTC EVO 3D] Quis89:
Playing asphalt gave me a headache. I'm over it. Maybe movies would impress me...but who really has time to watch movies on their phone? If I'm somewhere that I can't watch a movie on a tv then I probably don't have time to watch a full movie on my phone nor do I really want to.
[HTC EVO 3D] awenthol:
I didn't buy it for the 3D...
[HTC EVO 3D] klbjr:
For me I was over it a few hours after purchasing it. 3D didn't play any part in my purchasing my 3Ds. The other specs had me drooling. I've gotten mostly good reviews from people who I have told I had the 3D and showed them some scenes from Avatar & Clash Of the Titans that I had encoded but for me 3D is a fad.
[HTC EVO 3D] scoobrel:

[HTC EVO 3D] eman3316@optonline.net:
Think you got that a little backwards there.......

One of the only 3d video's I found on youtube that I feel is of great quality and really shows off the 3d feature is the one below....If all of the 3d looked this good then it might have kept more interested in it:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfnBM49o5Nc

Don't get me wrong, I didn't by the Evo 3d because of the 3d feature, it was everything else that impressed my, but the first week or so I was totally all about the 3d. Not so much now.
[HTC EVO 3D] liverstealerJobs:
Thanks, yeah meant glasses free. It is so cool just to whip out the phone while waiting for appointments or whatvever dead moments in life. You can only surf the web so much. Adda another dimension. Ha. Can't wait for more of everything 3D. Loving it.

Sent from a 3VO. Long live the EVO.
[HTC EVO 3D] NewZJ:
omg, the 3d is awesome! I wish the whole world was in 3d!

I love the movies but the games are lacking. I do get a bit of eyeache after a bit forcing my eyes to not focus farther away (through the screen) because it does look like the phone is my window into another world at times. I look away for a second and they feel better so it doesn't bother me to much. I think I will get used to it eventually
[HTC EVO 3D] toneman1984:
NOVA3D is great. (I have OC'd to 1.8ghz too) The shot's fired at you actually come "at you" so to speak. Also the guns being held have depth to them and the shotgun blasts are fun to watch.

Also I'm still taking pictures in 3d and 2d. I like to see the difference between the two. It's not even why I bought the phone, but it's really fun.
[HTC EVO 3D] Razgriz:
I see the 3D the same as I do the 4G...I don't use it all the time, but it's a nice feature to have.
[HTC EVO 3D] xPhantom:
I actually really like the 3D. Games are okay and pictures are pretty cool, but videos and movies are awesome. Although I don't always use it, I like being able to when I want to.
[HTC EVO 3D] BrianBaker:
anyone who actually thought objects would look like they are jumping of the screen really need to think about the actual technology you have in your hands..Same as with Glasses-less 3D TV's it gives you a lot of depth..Pretty impossible to make things jump out at you with out glasses on your face.

Either way..I love it and watching movies in 3D no longer hurts my eyes..Sometimes when watching regular TV i feel like im suppose to be seeing that depth that i see in my phone and I get sad.
[HTC EVO 3D] AyyRayy:
Love the 3D, hasn't got old at all :D

[HTC EVO 3D] dtblair24:
well, i am not playing with the 3D features every day like I was at first...but if I see something cool, I might try to see what a 3D photo looks like, or I might play a 3D game..But I also have noticed that it stopped hurting my eyes/head. At first I could only handle a few minutes of green lantern, now It does not even phase me.
[HTC EVO 3D] cleftic909:
Some of the 3D does POP out. You just have to find the right videos. Here is an example. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUsqwaeDekM&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Its pretty cool I can upload my 3d videos on YouTube using the YouTube app and is automatically tagged with yt3d enable true
[HTC EVO 3D] fdavila17:
Great vids man
[HTC EVO 3D] LearnIIBurn:
Those are some cool videos :).

I definitely am still having fun with the 3D features. People I show it to love it, and some of the pictures it takes are very fun to look at.

I think it is just fun to trip your brain out a little with visuals. I don't overkill looking at 3D. Take it in moderation and its way more fun.
[Desire HD Accessories] A|ex:
I purchased one of these to hold my phone and was sick of changing mounts every time i got a new phone.

http://www.exogear.com/products-exomount-car-mount-holder.html

Its basically a normal suction mount with a little bit of a sticky surface that does not come off on anything. The DHD fits fine and i haven’t had it fly off or wobble as i am driving or turning (and yes i turn sharp at high speeds).

This is probably (apart from a proclip) one of the best universal mounts i have used. The proclip is my choice as its solid and fixed but requires work, this on the other hand is my second choice as i can stick it anywhere in my car and have it suck down without leaving a mark and not have to mess around changing clips.

Features:

•Exomount’s patented suction technology enables you to mount on almost any flat surface such as car dashes, glass, wood, metal,

plastics and even drywall!

•Polyurethane lined grip keeps your phone or GPS safe and secure

•Quickly and easily mount and unmount your phone or GPS with our stylish clip grip holder

•Mounts all smart phones and GPS devices up to 5-inch screens

•Multi-angle rotation for your preferred viewing angle
[Desire HD Accessories] pappas99:
cheers for the thread

does anyone use this with an otterbox (or similar) case? I'm thinking of buying one of these as there is zero options available for a DHD with a case

also any issues with the patented stick technology or whatever its called becoming not so grippy after x weeks/months?
[Desire HD Accessories] qpwoeiruty999:
Try slipgrip mounts for otterbox cases. You can find it on ebay also.
[Desire HD Accessories] A|ex:
Non mine is still sticky now, i don’t think it is supposed to be super sticky as the gel and stick i think improves the suction. I just purchased another because they are pretty good and it doesnt need to be on a flat surface to work at all.
[Desire HD Accessories] BuZzCoRe:
I've read that vibration might be an issue... we have very bumpy roads where I'm at so I wouldn't like it to be all over the place...

Any further info about this please?
[Desire HD Accessories] A|ex:
I think there is a video review which says this but i have tried this on a Samsung Galaxy S2, Iphone4,Desire HD and Sensation and it is perfectly fine on bumpy roads. The clamp is strong enough to hold it. You will get the same jigger on say a tomtom or any other mount.

The reason why the clamp is the size it is, so when holding onto phones it doesnt press any buttons on the side of the phone.

Quality isnt that bad for its price and i would think its the best universal mount i have used in a car, i have used many mounts but this one has lasted the longest and seems very promising.

You can even rotate it and mount a tablet in your car!

[Desire HD Accessories] mcjordan92:
I'm a new user of it too, and love it !

Question for you:

Since my dash is not completely straight so I can't put it there (even so it lasts about 1 day), I'm putting it on the windshield, but the arm is so short that I can't find a good place for it.

I put it meanwhile just a lil bit below the mirror, but on a way that the top of the phone is kinda behind the mirror, otherwise its too far and too hard to reach it.

I tried many other places but none was good enough.

Its or too far or blocking the road.. :\

Where do you put it? and where do you suggest me to put?

Thanks,

Yarden.
[Desire HD Accessories] pappas99:
what a piece of junk! i tried it last night and couldn't find ANY spots in my car (newish 2004) where it would stick! I haven't tried the windshield yet. It literally would stay in place a few seconds then fall. did anyone else get this? perghaps i installed it wrong. is it just a case of taking the white ring protector off the stick part then putting on a surface? or did i not do something?
[Desire HD Accessories] Esspee_London:
I wonder how safe this would be if mounted on dash and you break suddenly.

Try Herbert Richter universal mounts if you're still after an option to use with otterbox case.
[Desire HD Accessories] Anoobossi:
I've had mine for several weeks now.

It sticks everywhere.

I use mine with a Otterbox Commuter Case and it fits well.

Vibration is a small issue, though.
[Desire HD Accessories] A|ex:
the Herbert Richter universal mounts is bulky with the arm, the exo gear mount is good btu if the clamp had a few extras to secure it better it would be 10/10
[Desire HD Accessories] zane222:
Alex, Mind to share what is the quality like?
[Desire HD Accessories] lawrence750:
yes. take the white protector bit off, its that sticky bit that helps it stay stuck to the surface, im surprised the suction bit worked at all with that thing still on lol

---------- Post added at 05:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:22 PM ----------

The quality feels like it is kinda flimsy, but after using it, it feels tough.. i used to be kinda careful with it but these days i just grab and twist it and it definitely doesn't feel like it's gonna fall apart.

The ball bit that it rotates on did get a bit dirty on mine and it got quite hard to rotate it, but just clean the bit of it you can see (no need to take apart) and then it should be all good again. That's only happened once to me, and i literally just wiped with a dry finger and wiggled it about a bit and its fine again.
[Desire HD Accessories] jaysinclair:
I was JUUUUST about to buy one, but because I live in Australia, shipping + handling is $49 alone!

Does anyone recommend any other mounts, without the massive shipping charge?

Apart from ebay cheapies.
[Desire HD Accessories] A|ex:
I do not mind if you send me cash paypal etc to handle the purchase and shipping for you? If you like i can weigh the actual device (without packaging) which will make it cheaper and price up on royalmail web site air mail signed for etc?
[Desire HD Accessories] rs1982:
Got one of those

I got the exogear holder about a month ago, and i can recommend it to anyone.

Sticks nice to many surfaces, the phone is not slipping down, can be used with a phone of any size (or a gps device)

The only down side is that you have to use both hands to place your phone into the holder.

[General Questions and Answers] Jimmy34742:
In the Apps manager, go to the Apps tab, press and hold on an app, select "Move" and then choose "System." Android Tuner has a lot of functions, making feature discovery a challenge. You really need to use the AT thread linked above and 3c's web site for support, and of course RTFM.
