Nice work, very helpfull!
[HTC Desire S] Tapur007:
Thanks Ben_Pyett !!! :)

I did read voidu & virtuous unity threads .. was still confused ... Thank you for clearing my doubts .. I did manage to check my kernel version from 'About Phone'... Just after I finished posting this question!

So , what I understand is that everytime I flash a Custom ROM ... It would also install its kernel that it is built upon ...

Also , restoring from a Nandroid backup would restore the ROM as well as kernel, as it were ..

Thank you once again ....

Peace :)

I have question.

Recently i bought my first Android phone, Desire S.

This is info.

Saga PVT SHIP S-OFF RL

HBOOT -0.98.0002

RADIO 0-3005.06.02.03_M

Mar 30 2011 17:29:31

I succesfully installed Titanium backup, but when I started it says No root access..

I have read many thread about how to root.

Could you give ne the right way for my phone version.

Thank you.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
You must make an effort

Read the guide that is made into a sticky thread within the forum for a reason, its ull of useful tips and mini guides:

i went thru youtube to learn all this n in th end it's all here.... o_O

nice
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
You just need Root.

You're already S-Off brother.

All you need to do is to Root your device.

You can do this by heading over to the thread ben_pyett suggested and use either Superoneclick or Gingerbreak.

Hope this helps.
[HTC Desire S] guhh123:
Thanks alot I Rooted My desire S and flash "Hboot 0.98.0002 Eng S-off" but I have a question that if i am still remain on Hboot 6.98.0002 (alpharev) can I flash a custom Rom?
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Simple answer YES

If you are S-OFF and have a custom recovery installed (either CWM or 4EXT) then you are able to flash a custom ROM
[HTC Desire S] guhh123:
Thanx a lot, but why ppl try to flash 0.98.0002 Eng S-off, do they just want to flash RUU if they need warranty
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
again YES and I'd personally also recommend that you do that as its far easier to return your device back to S-ON from the HBOOT version you just mentioned than it is from the one that you're currently on (the 6.xx... one), which might be useful if your device has issues at a point in the future. So if you understand the process then do it.

How can I flash a new kernel for my desire S (Eg: Tiamat 1.1.5) I downloaded a zip file, can I flash it using "install from sd card" in 4ext recovery??
[HTC Desire S] smouker:
Great Guide

But i have problems with the S-OFF beta key from revolutionary

It says to me invalid beta key :(

Please help

THX
[HTC Desire S] nodeffect:
Yes, that's the way to flash a kernel. By using recovery.

That, you have to restart the whole process again... it usually don't have that problem. Try using other computer to try it also.
[HTC Desire S] mmmcfc:
Just get another one!
[HTC Desire S] bobsie41:
Copy/paste the given beta key into notepad then copy/paste from notepad to revolutionary then it will work. ;)
[HTC Desire S] AndroidFiber:
guys, im newbe in HTC. Is the tutorial regarding on how to s-off DS still working? need your comments.
[HTC Desire S] tpbklake:
It depends on your HBOOT version. If you have version 0.98.0000 or 0.98.0002 then you can use Revolutionary to gain S-OFF. If you have the newest version that shows "LOCKED" on the top of the screen, then you need to unlock HBOOT at the htcdev site and then you can flash a custom recovery and install custom ROMs, but you won't be fully S-OFF to flash a new radio and such.

Hi,

I have S-Off'd and added a custom ROM too on my HTS Desire S HBOOT 0.98.0002 successfully yesterday using the guide mentioned above for HBOOT 0.98.0000.

So, there is no real need for a HBOOT 0.98.0002 special guide. May be it's an older guide when Revolutionary didn't support HBOOT 0.98.0002.

That should be removed if this is the case. Correct me if am wrong.

Thanks a lot for all the posts. Helped me big time. :)

I got this message when going through the process. Now do I have to go down the complicated route of downgrading?

http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/33/notsupported.png/
[HTC Desire S] tpbklake:
Yes if you want to gain S-OFF using Revolutionary, then you will need to downgrade HBOOT 2.00.0002 to a compatible version.
[HTC Desire S] cined:
Isn't their an easier way?

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] tpbklake:
What do you want to accomplish? Root your current ROM? Flash a custom ROM? Unlocking the bootloader at HTCDEV.com is an option depending on what you want to accomplish.
[HTC Desire S] cined:
I want to get CM7 running on the phone.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] tpbklake:
Ok then unlocking the bootloader is an option for you. After you unlock the bootloader, you can install ClockworkMod recovery and then you can flash CM7. Search this forum for the necessary steps and procedure.
[HTC Desire S] cined:
Could you please link me to where I can unlock the bootloader and the other steps for installing CWM?

Can I just use the process for unlocking the bootloader and HTCDEV.COM?

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] tpbklake:
Yes, you would use the procedure at HTCDEV.com to unlock the bootloader. You would then flash CWM recovery using FASTBOOT mode and the command:

fastboot flash recovery [path to recovery.img file]

You should be able to search and find the exact procedure to follow and it has been posted many times in this forum.
[HTC Desire S] cined:
I have done a search but I really couldn't find anything. I really am a noob when it comes to this stuff!
[HTC Desire S] tpbklake:
Ok then try the procedure at on this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=14693680
[HTC Desire S] cined:
But that says After Revolutionary? So basically I just unlock the bootloader on the HTC website and then jump to that guide?

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] tpbklake:
Yes, with the bootloader in an unlocked state, you will be able to use the fastboot commands in that thread to install ClockworkMod recovery.
[HTC Desire S] cined:
The bootloader is now unlocked. :)

However I'm having issues following the CWM part.

I 'CD' to the folder that has the Fastboot files and the CWM img, and I type the following command 'recovery_cwm-4.0.1.4-saga' and I get an error message.

am I doing the command properly?

Thanks
[HTC Desire S] tpbklake:
First boot into bootloader mode and then connect the USB cable and the screen should say. HBOOT USB.

Next select Fastboot and then the screen should say. FASTBOOT USB

Then on the PC open a command window and type the following:

Fastboot flash recovery recovery_cwm_4.0.1.4_saga.

Fastboot reboot bootloader

Then on the phone select BOOTLOADER and then you should be able to select RECOVERY and get into CWM.

Hi

I am new to Desire S.

My hboot version is : 2.00.0002

I am looking to use Revolutionary to turn S-OFF, but it seems that Revolutionary supports hboot (0.98.0000 & 0.98.0002).

Is there a way around this?

PS : I am not new to the world of custom ROMS and Kernals, i have been in the rooted world of SE X10 for some time now..

I have a question regarding the startup splash screens, animations and shutdown animations in the Desire S.

As this might be helpful to other beginners wanting to know the same , could someone explain what all the different splash screens and animations are in the Desire S for startup and shutdown ?

My Desire S came with preloaded telco ROM and accompanying startup splash screen, animation and shutdown animation, but I would like to get rid of them as my SIM is for a different network now. When fastboot is off, there is one telco splash screen shown when power is first turned on, then the HTC Quietly Brilliant white screen, then the telco startup animation. When fastboot is on the initial power on telco splash screen is not seen and the phone goes straight to the HTC white screen then the telco animation.

Finally there is a telco shutdown animation on poweroff.
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
Here's what you need to do:

(maybe downgrade your bootloader, depends on hboot)

S-off with revolutionary (do not unlock with htcdev)

Root with superoneclick

Install recovery 4ext (can also use cwm)

make backup

Flash roms like it's going crazy

Sent my thoughts to your head with XDA App
[HTC Desire S] RevheadKev:
What I did was to firstly follow this excellent guide by nodeffect for S-off then as he references for my 0.98.0002 Hboot follow this guide by slvrbllt to get root.

No problems keeping root each time I rebooted and nandriod backups from ClockworkMod worked like a charm too.
[HTC Desire S] kalvin807:
Do I need to downgrade hboot in order to get the root?

[HTC Desire S] nodeffect:
You can try downgrade your phone to the older hboot first using this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1318919

I don't think revolutonary able to s-off the latest hboot yet. So I think you might need to downgrade your hboot first in order to gain s-off and root. Hope this help... There are some other guide on downgrading hboot, please check on the first page. Thanks

Can I root and flash Rom with s-on?

I don't want to downgrade hboot...
[HTC Desire S] darius0519:
I have the same problem before like you. What I did was to unlock the bootloader using htcdev. There is a thread in the q & a about 2.3.5. Download the files there and follow the instructions. Your phone will be unlocked but will stay s-on. Unlocked boot loader will allow you to push cwm and root your phone.

In installing ROM i haven't tried it yet but they said that you'll need to use fastboot again and flash the boot image.

I'm a senior .NET developer with 13+ years programming experience, now studding Android for a couple of months now, also doing a two weeks Android course (this week and the next one). My goal is to start creating some ROMs for the device too, but my current knowledge is pretty basic and theoretical right now.

I'm also very experienced on testing ROMs (used to do it a lot on my old Xperia X10). tested many versions from Eclair 2.1 to GB 2.3, including MIUI and CyanogeMod too ;) :p

[Atrix 4G General] Blind_Guardian:
To all of you posting, "pick me"

It's not going to help you at all. If you read the original post, it was mentioned that you needed to provide a sample bug report to be considered.

I don't have much free time on my hands lately, but if you need a backup let me know.

Bug Report:

Blind_Guardian

Phone: ATT Atrix

Radio: OTA Stock (N_01.77.30P)

Hacks/Mods used: Battery fix, webtop on HDMI, Gtalk on 3g

Kernel: Stock

What is the expected behavior?

When the google navigation app is started the GPS should lock on within a reasonable amount of time and should remain locked on. Should it lose a lock, it should re-lock within a reasonable amount of time. The "maps" app should operate within the same limits.

What is the actual behavior?

When the GPS app is started, the initial lock takes anywhere between 3-5 minutes to get a lock. Once a lock occurs it will remain locked for a short while. It does not lose the lock at the same time intervals, it is sporadic. I've seen it take anywhere from 10-15 minutes. Once a lock is lost and you hear the audible warning... the phone will reboot itself every time. The same issue occurs if you use the "maps" app. You are able to get gps data, but once you lose a lock the phone reboots itself.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

- Make sure GPS radio is on.

- Initiate "navigation app" or "maps"

- Wait for a GPS lock

- Wait for GPS signal loss

Possible workarounds:

None, that I could find.

Bug: stewartsoda isn't an alpha tester

Environment: Life v0.1 Alpha 2

Firmware: R0001

Hardware: Human

Expected behavior: stewartsoda has access to alpha builds for testing

Observed behavior: stewartsoda doesn't have access to alpha builds for testing

Steps to reproduce: Ask stewartsoda to retrieve the latest build for testing. He will be unable to do so.

Conjecture: There are many possible reasons why Stewartsoda doesn't have access.

One- he hasn't been granted access.

Two- he hasn't known about formal alpha testing of CM7 until now.

Three- he hasn't been invited to the project and doesn't know where to retrieve builds from.

Possible solutions:

One- invite stewartsoda to be an alpha tester for cm7 on the Atrix.

Two- provide download links to stewartsoda through PM.

Bug Report

Forum name: ramguerra

Phone: AT&T Atrix 4G AKA MB860

Radio: N_01.77.30P

Firmware: CM 7.0A

Hacks/Mods used: N/A

When a user places a call, the proximity sensor will detect the distance from the persons cheek, and when close enough, will shut off the screen and de-activate the touch sensor in order to avoid accidental key presses.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The proximity sensor on the phone seems to not be responding as it should. I have noticed that when I place a call on 7.0A, the screen stays on and does not shut off. My cheek will then press the speaker phone button, or any other button that is there. This was not a problem on stock FW so it is not a phone issue.

To reproduce:

Place a call and listen to it.

Notice that your cheek will press additional buttons.

To verify, try another call and place your finger at the top right corner of the phone next to the sound opening. On stock, the screen will shut off.

Fix:

Verify that the prox sensor is activated, then try increasing the sensitivity of the sensor in order to shorten the distance needed to the reciever to trigger the screen shut off.
