[Desire General] Rastaman-FB:
from reading htc's documentation it doesnt give you s-off

please take a screen shot of your "s-off" hboot

dont confuse s-off with rooting, they are two different things

also if you are "s-off" with this tool. have you attempted to flash hboot?

Im s-off with alpharev, i cannot for the life of me see why people are downgrading their alpharev/revo hboot and putting some mediocre crap from HTC.

you are mad.

try teppics downgrader after flashing a rooted froyo 2.2 sense rom.

it should downgrade the device to a 2.1 ruu rom with a 0.87 hboot. you can then root and s-off.

it may or may not work
[Desire General] tf198:
It works

Just to let people know that the following worked for me:

HTC Desire Telstra ROM 2.26.841.2

1) Unlock phone via HTC official process (registration required)

You are now unlocked S-ON but have no root access on the existing rom, however by doing it the official way you dont need to flash the radio anyway. I used the following steps to get CM7 installed on mine.

2) Downloaded ClockworkMod Recovery 5 (GSM not CDMA)

download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-bravo.img

(sorry - forum wont let me post urls yet)

3) reboot phone into fastboot

4) In the environment you set up for the HTC unlock process enter

> fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-bravo.img

5) Go into ClockworkMod recovery

RECOVERY (Use trackpad, not power to select)

Do a full backup of your current rom

6) Start phone and connect to PC

copy off backup (clockworkmod/backup) to a safe place

I then pretty much followed the CM7 instructions:

wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Desire_(GSM):_Full_Update_Guide#Method_via_Recovery

7) Download CM7 and Google Apps

wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Latest_Version#HTC_Desire_.28GSM.29

wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Latest_Version#Google_Apps

8) Copy the two zip files onto your sdcard

9) Go into ClockworkMod Recovery and load the ROM

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache

install zip from sdcard

choose zip from sdcard

select update-cm-7.1.0-Desire-signed.zip

repeat for gapps-XXX-signed.zip

Cross fingers and reboot - I haven't found any problems yet...
[Desire General] Rastaman-FB:
you dont need to flash radio if you are on froyo anyway.

what you have done could have been done with revolutionary and also given you s-off

you now have no way of s-offing the device which if you have rooted im pretty sure youll want to go down that line in the next few months.

i just done Officeal Bootloader unlock and im now on 1.03.0003 S-ON

i dont know how can i root this now, im trying to get ICS Rom,

anyone knows how can i Root this thing ?

tf198 your method worked :)
[Desire General] AlxMAX:
This unlock feature is rather a marketing strategy. It was useless for me when I tried to change the ROM on a friend's phone. I had to keep his phone one more day while trying to downgrade the hboot because it was the only way to do it. I was very embarrassed! So, if you have an older hboot, stick with it or S-OFF it if you want a real unlock.
[Desire General] Rastaman-FB:
you will need to use teppics downgrader to dowgrade the hboot

you might be able to get away with flashing 2.3.3 ruu over the top then using revolutionary

Why don't you just use revolutionary?

Noooo, I didn't. I even registered 2 different emails and this is happening on both.

But I submitted a question to them asking why this is happening and they told me that the servers are having heavy traffic and that this will soon be solved. I guess I'll just wait. Thanks for the reply anyways :good:

HTC Desire bootloader unlock failure

For the life of me, I just can't figure out what the problem is. I have tried to unlock the bootloader and update the ROM of my HTC Desire for weeks with all kinds of help I've managed to dig up. Whatever I try I'm still stuck. HTCdev naturally won't help with this kind of matters because of warranty issues.

I have tried the Revolutionary and the official unlock bootloader and some other ways, but still... Maybe it is just because I'm totally noob in this :crying: I can't get some of the apps I need working, because I can't get the Android version updated.

Presently the phone is S-OFF and has the following specs:

HBOOT 6.93.1002

Hardware: HTC Desire (Bravo)

Software: 2.29.405.14

Baseband: 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27

Android: 2.2.2

I have downloaded the HBOOT RUU (PB9920000_Bravo_Froyo_hboot_1.03.0003_R) to my computer, to which the link in step 1 directs to in HTCdev official unlock instructions. The installer says that the RUU is too old and needs to be updated first, but I just can't find a suitable full RUU for my phone, and there doesn't seem to be one on the HTCdev page.

I have performed a hard reset now, so this should be perfectly ready for a new updated full RUU.

I could get the phone identifier through ADK, but get_identifier_token provides an error. I guess that is result of the previously mentioned HBOOT problem.

I get three different errors here, although USB debugging is enabled. I've tried this with Charge only and also with USB connection.

1.) The phone says 'Charged', but sometimes the RUU installer says that there's under 30% battery power left. ERROR [120]: LOW MAIN BATTERY POWER. The phone has just been loaded and there's nothing wrong with the battery. A few times it has let me past with 70% of my battery power left. ?? This problem persists even after a hard reset.

2.) The installation gets stuck in 'Verifying the information on your PDA Phone... Please wait...'

3.) Only a couple of times I managed to get past the first two errors last week. Then it gives me the message that I need to update the HBOOT before proceeding.

I have tried installing the HTC Sync and going with the official unlocker, uninstalling the HTC Sync but leaving the drivers and going the Revolutionary way. But the Revolutionary wants the HBOOT updated too.

I'm totally stuck here with Android 2.2.2. Based on the comments from everyone HTC Desire has excellent potential - when it just is unleashed. That's exactly why I don't want to give up and trade the phone.
[Desire General] jukyO:
Have you tried revolutionary?

Can you go to recovery?

Or at least fastboot?

Shut down phone.

Vol-down+power should put you in fastboot mode.

Can you do it? What it says?
[Desire General] jh59095:
On top there is Revolutionary in pink background.

Below the info is:

BRAVO PVT3 SHIP S-OFF

HBOOT-6.93.1002

Recovery:

I get a black and blue Revolutionary CWM v.4.0.1.4 screen

But if I choose the first option, Reboot system now, I get only a screen with a plain blue Revolutionary logo.

Wipe cache partion, Power off, Advanced, etc give the same. I get no confirmation of anything done.

Fastboot:

This gives the following options:

Bootloader (in green)

Reboot (in orange)

Reboot bootloader (in purple)

Power down (in red)
[Desire General] eddiehk6:
So the reason you're failing to unlock the bootloader....is because it's ALREADY unlocked.

That's what "S-OFF" means...

So you can already full wipe and flash a custom rom with a higher Android version if you wish.

I would advise to change to 4EXT recovery as it's much better beforehand however.

- Setup adb and fastboot from here, read up particularly on the fastboot part

- Flash the attached recovery.img attached using fastboot

- (Optional but recommended to optimise space) Flash recommended hboot depending on ROM's requirements, use same guide linked.

- (Backup sd card if you need to)

- Partition sdcard for additional space using 4EXT recovery (maximum 2GB ext4 partition)

- Full wipe within 4EXT recovery ('wipe all partitions except sdcard' option)

- Flash ROM.zip of your choice, enable A2SD if required, check ROM thread.

There are guides on all of this if it doesn't make sense.
[Desire General] jukyO:
Maybe to add to backup your sdcard before partitioning to the PC.

Use class 6 or higher sdcard.

4ext or TWRP modified by [MENTION=4883664]Chromium_[/MENTION] is also good recovery.
[Desire General] jh59095:
Slowly getting there.

Always have to wait for the baby to go to sleep and try not to wake her up next to the computer...

So, I found this for flashing the hboot, but I don't understand which one is suitable for my setup or are they all suitable (but just different sizes):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2141165&page=2

I guess I'll have to update the sdcard first. I've been using a 4GB class 4 card, but it's time to finally do something about that too.
[Desire General] jmcclue:
they r for htc desire, so they all will work fine. the one u need depends on what rom u want to flash. and about the above post saying use class 6 sdcard or higher, well thats not true, iv always used class 4 and never had any problems.
[Desire General] jh59095:
Ok. I'll go with my present one for now.

How do I find out what the requirements of the rom are?

I was thinking of this one, but feel free to recommend another too: CM10_VJ_4.1.2_V3.1_with_GApps
[Desire General] jmcclue:
the op of the rom will have posted in his thread, but for that rom u need stock hboot so ur fine. first thing u want to do is what eddie said above, flash 4ext recovery (recovery.img above by eddie) then backup anything important on ur sdcard to computer then u need to partition ur sdcard for a2sd then flash the rom.
[Desire General] jh59095:
Hmm.... I've gotten this far, but now there's a problem.

I flashed the rom from a zip file, but now the screen gets stuck in circling CyanogenMod logo, which only goes away by taking the battery off. But then it's the same situation again after the first HTC logo.

Tried also this:

got the boot.img from the rom zip file

copied it to my pc

connected the phone in bootloader to PC (fastboot usb after this)

cmd -> adb

fastboot flash boot boot.img

once it got success, I typed

fastboot reboot

I'm still stuck in the circling CyanogenMod splash screen.
[Desire General] jmcclue:
Did u wipe all partitions except sdcard before u flashed the rom?
[Desire General] jh59095:
First I chose the 'format all partitions (except sdcard'

Then I chose according to the screen captures in alternative [4] Partitioning your sd-card through recovery in here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2125513

Then I tried fastboot flashing the rom -> stuck in splash screen.

Then I tried copying the both the plain boot.img and the rom zip on the sdcard and then 'install from sdcard' -> 'choose zip from sdcard'.

-> the message says 'Install from sdcard complete' and then I choose reboot from the 4ext, but it gets stuck in the CyanogenMod splash screen.
[Desire General] jmcclue:
Did u create an ext partition using that guide?

If so then when u flash the rom u must go to wipe/format, format all partitions except sdcard then install from sdcard, install the rom then reboot. If u did all that then the rom should boot. It can take 10 minutes for first boot.
[Desire General] jh59095:
Yes. I must've been too desperate when the clock was after 2AM last night. It was going on and on, so I was sure this rom was stuck too. I then always took off the battery when it had run over five minutes with no change.

Too impatient I see... This rom woke up after 10 minutes.

Thank you everyone involved for your help so far!

Still there is one problem, though. I tried to search for help here too, but I could not solve it. Now that the phone got the sim card open it prompts me to select the Wi-Fi. I don't have access to any Wi-Fi here. I only have had access through a GSM/WCDMA connection anyway.

Next gives this message: 'Couldn't sign in' (Can't establish a reliable connection to the server.). And choosing Back ends up in that same earlier message.

The Home, Menu, or back buttons on the phone do nothing to get me out from choosing a Wi-Fi. I would need to get to the settings somehow to alter the default connection configuration to GSM/WCDMA, but I can't get there.

--- --- ---

Ok. I should've tried the computer way with small problems. Boot and take a look. It let me past.

All problems are solved and I humbly thank you for your patience and advice :)

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] tvrsh:
Hello, Im useing this script http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=951274 to install JIT, DualTouch, etc.

I have some update for .sh script.

In JIT

installation

part:

echo "Backing up build.prob file"
busybox cp -f /system/build.prop /system/build.prop.stock
echo "Copying build.prop to /system/"
busybox cp -f data/jit/build.prop /system/build.prop

Here script rename system build.prop file to build.prop.stock and copy new build.prop from script folder to system.

And in JIT

deinstallation

part:

echo "Copying libraries and build.prop to /system/"
...
busybox cp -f data/jit/disable/build.prop /system/build.prop

And here script copy new build.prop from script folder to system.

BUT!

In

deinstallation

we need to get back our stock build.prop what was renamed in

installation

part!

So, i suggest to change

busybox cp -f data/jit/disable/build.prop /system/build.prop

to

busybox mv -f system/build.prop.stock system/build.prop

to rename build.prop.stock to build.prop.

And why did we copy/past this build.prop files? Why we cant copy stock build.prop and edit it this way:

echo "#DEVICE_PROVISIONED=1" >> /system/build.prop
echo "dalvik.vm.heapsize=30m" >> /system/build.prop
echo "#kernel.log=default" >> /system/build.prop
echo "dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:jit" >> /system/build.prop

What do you think?

And sorry, I cant post this to Development forum because I have < 10 posts.

I have a GalaxyNexus.

I have a Build.prop with and one without Tablet Mode.

I like to use sometimes TabletMode and sometimes not.

I think with a Script like u use here i can change what build.prop to use.

Lets say i have the "build.prop" with TabletMode and a "build.prop.stock" without that Mode.

How can i make it possible to activate the .stock and dissable the TabletMode. And then again the other way arround. ???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] moritz_t:
Hi all,

I hope this issue has not been raised before, did not find anything with a search.

Sometimes I have the Issue that whenever I try to open the Google Music App, another App is opened (and if that happens, it is that app consistently regardless of how often I try to open Google Music).

If it happens, then it does not matter whether I open Google Music from the App Drawer, from the dockbar, or any other shortcut on the homescreen.

The problem is only fixed when the device is restarted. I went to the apps menu in settings and killed the app that opened (in this case it was the contacts app, in another case Foursquare) when I tried to open Google Music. Google Music was not open and not in the Cache. Still, issue remained until after a restart.

I have not yet found a way to replicate this behaviour in a consistent manner.

I am on 4.0.1, ITL41F.

Any ideas / comments?

Thanks,

Moritz

Hello,

Sorry to bother but as explained in the title:

Every time I try to recovery update from Mur4ik M4 to RC5/ASIS it says

Installation aborted.

It's your average GT540 updated to M4(Gingerbread), I changed nothing. No swap nor partition edit or whatever.

ClockworkMod Recovery is v3.0.2.4 (The one included in M4, didn't change anything)

I don't think it's a bad download since 7zip didn't say anything and I downloaded 3times already.

The files are recovery files. I didn't extract them, just put them on SDcard root

Any help?

Thanks.

Edit: Tried with RC4 too, same thing. And older versions' link are not available anymore
[GT540 Optimus General] andreas__:
use recovery 5.x.x.x :P it's included in the download (isn't it ?)
[GT540 Optimus General] Shiki~:
Thanks for your answer,

but how do you do you update ClockworkMod in recovery mode?

I tried to "restore" the recovery.img I extracted from the SwiftDroid_v2.0_ASIS_recovery.zip but it says "MD5 mismatch". (Sorry for noobish questions)
[GT540 Optimus General] andreas__:
you have to use fastboot:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

make sure the file is in the same folder with the fastboot.exe

or another method via an app called yaffsexpert (i never tried that)

1) Bad Port

2)Bad Battery.
