Hello guys,

i got my desire s (hboot 2.00.0002, sense 3.0, S-ON) since 2 weeks. I used this tutorial under ubuntu 11.10, everything worked well. It just took me a while to read all the stuff and understand it.

I just got the intention that my desire s cant boot into bootloader (lower vol+power) when it is connected to the PC via USB. That was the only thing that confused me.

adb also works fine under linux. really great tutorials. and i like the reaper2.2 ROM, but i got the ring tones twice. probably a ROM mistake :)

since i didnt find any "thanks" button (am i blind or what???), --> Thanks! :)

edit: found it :)
[HTC Desire S] n0elite:
good to see you got it working on linux! the thanks button is only visible once logged in.

[HTC Desire S] NoUse4aName.:
Hello folks,

I've been looking around the forums for a while and I believe this thread suits my needs best.

So, I wanted to install MIUI on my HTC DS with hboot 2.00.002. There are instructions on the miui-germany website which I followed, but I'm not quite sure how to continue.

This is what has been done (in order of events):

- unlock via HTCDev

- relock via "fastboot oem lock"

- temproot via zergRush

- adb shell /data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.27.405.6

I've downloaded an older O2 RUU-File, which I believe to be correct. The phone has been running since the temproot, but I'm not sure what to do next.

How's the RUU to be installed? Reboot into Bootloader?

My SW-Version is 2.13.206.1 running Android 2.3.5 and HTC Sense 3.0. :-)

Thanks in advance!
[HTC Desire S] chninkel:
That was not needed if you're trying to downgrade your hboot.

The RUU is a windows .exe. You could run it "phone booted" or in fastboot usb.
[HTC Desire S] TF85:
Hello,

I hope keep th HBOOT 2.00.0002.

1 - I unlocked the bootloader, using the htcdev site.

Message Result from fastboot : "unlock token check successfull" "OKAY"

2 - I tried to root Desire S with SuperOneClick v2.2, but it hangs at setp 7 of the process (ADB Command Type : WaitForDevice).

After 20 minutes, I stop this process.

I tried the z4root.1.3.0.apk to root, but it hangs, I stop this process after 10 minutes.

Need help
[HTC Desire S] papaganz:
Hey,

I did every step and installed this ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1433617&highlight=miui

But now my phone is stuck on the boot screen when I powered it on(just showing the android graphic). How do I fix this? It doesn't respond to the power button, take out battery seems the only solution?

Also, it's a but unclear what you have to wipe & format. I wiped Dalvik cache, normal cache & chose format system to EXT4. Was that enough?

edit: I removed the battery and went back to recovery. I wiped data, dalvik cache, normal cache, formatted cache, formatted data and formatted system. Then I completed step 5 again. Now it works :).

You shoud be more clear to what you should wipe & format in your post. Other than that, very good guide!

Can someone explain me what the difference is between this method and downgrading the hboot and making it s-off? Why would you do all those things if you can do it like this?

thanks

thank you so much been looking on how to install custom rom without having to downgrade really didnt want to downgrade thanks so much

How to wipe

Hi,

I'll press the thanks button after this message, but I just wanted to mention that the stence:

"Wipe every cache you can find in EXT4 recovery and format EXT3 to EXT4."

is a bit too vague for noob like me.

I lost half a day finding your post and the other half trying to fight a boot loop because, I wiped the caches in EXT4. I was afraid to wipe the system, but this is what finally made the instal work.

So maybe, being more specific on how to wipe could help other noobs

Thanks anyway for the great guide.

(a bit of frustration though because there is no are almost no hint to why things are done. Only do this blindly. And then if it does not work no way to analyse what's wrong. But I'm asking too much)
[HTC Desire S] D_Saint:
Hi everyone.

for a noob like me please clearify...

1- step 2 is realy needed or not to obtain root acess through SuperOneClick?

2- i do not want to change from stock rom, i pleased with it so far, but i would like to have root acess so i can remove some stock apps i dont need / want, as change the bootanimation (remove vodafone logo), so possibly i dont need new recovery image, just root acess, am i right?

3- so i execute steps 1 and 3, i will gain temp root acess (does SuperOneClick installs superuser and su on the phone ?) so i can install apk that need root acess from that moment further?

Apreciate all the hints /help.

XDA is the Best.

D_Saint
[HTC Desire S] D_Saint:
Well,

As no one gave me an answer, i tried myself. Here is my experience...

used SuperoneClick 2.3.3 (downloaded from shortfuse) and run it with admin rights. Program indicated that phone was rooted (as it said on the screen). Superuser icon apear on the apps screen (not the skul, but an android !!) of the phone. After i press / click on superuser, the phone gives me the following message:

"the aplication com.noshufou.android.su (com.noshufou.android.su process) ended unexpectly. try again."

Sending picture of the superone click result.

Rebooted the phone (did not removed battery) and superuser desapeared.

Does he only stays if i unlock bootloader? If possible i would not like to do that,because, during the process htcdev tell us that all the personal files will be deleted (apps, etc...) ... it gives me a bunch of work to reinstall.

please help.

Many thanks

[HTC Desire S] cyberzone:
at the end i solve the thread than i flash my desire s before brick it, :) this tutorial is so correct and do it 1 from end. Thank u for this thread. You must flsh 2 times to install the custom rom. First install custom rom from sd card with EXT4 than install boot.img from windows cdm screen with fastboot commnad. and power off phone from ext4 menu than start it. everything is ok when it s done. Thanks n0elite, u r perfect. My phone

Not to do s-off your phone to install custom rom:D
[HTC Desire S] senol28:
sorry my friend when I follow steps, I came crazy in random times. but thank you :)

maybe that helps for newcomers in some steps. if Im wrong, tell pls.

Download your rom and put it on your microSD card without extract zip file. there must be BOOT.IMG, SYSTEM, META-INF, APPS folders inside zip package(Im not sure about apps folder). DON'T NEED EXTRACT. follow next step

wipe all*

*you must format system, data and cache... Dont forget choose ext4. don't fear to format, go ahead! next step :)

If there's check/tick in reboot phone box, MAKE IT UNCHOOSE.

Close your phone and open it from fastboot. connect your phone with usb follow last step

two times I stuck in htc boot screen because of I didn't format system data at 4EXT recovery menu and because of I restarted phone because of rom wants restart phone after install.

when both of two times I stuck in boot screen, I press three buttons(volume up+volume down+power) and I pull it off batary. I was lucky, maybe you'r not.

Dont take off ur batary, it's his place ;)

that's all what I wanted tell. sorry my english and thank you all :)

Hi,

I just wants to root my HTC but impossible with SuperOneClick.

The process end at step 7 : Waitfordevice time : 0,03s

Like you can see here :

Any help ? i've really try everything on every forums...
[HTC Desire S] RatzaChewy:
OK, tried this on my Desire S and with MIUI.us v4 2.4.6 to no avail. All was fine until I tried to boot the ROM. The first time it managed to get past the HTC logo and into the MIUI.us logo before hanging. But after (stupidly) pulling out the battery, I can't make it past the HTC logo. Went back into 4EXT Recovery and reformatted everything, reintalled and ran fastboot again, but it was still stuck on the HTC logo. I thought the worst, I had bricked my phone by pulling out the battery.

BUT, my eMMC chip ISN'T fried according to adb.

[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Do you not have an old backup that you could restore to?

Swyped from my DesireS
[HTC Desire S] GeorgeeCarterr:
I'm stuck at the part

"Wipe every cache you can find in EXT4 recovery and format EXT3 to EXT4."

How do you format EXT3 to EXT4?
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Firstly view the partition info using 4EXT to determine if you have any ext3?

Then you can use 4EXT to simply convert the partitions from ext3->ext4
[HTC Desire S] Sllipp:
Well thank you so much for this awesome tutorial that is so clear about every step in that process. Now, please, tell me, how to repair my phone, cause it's not going to boot ¬¬
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
How about you provide a bit more information rather than expecting us to read your mind? :confused:
[HTC Desire S] Sllipp:
Well, thanks for your attention... I proceeded as well as I could, trying understand the vague instructions (besides english is not my native).

I was looking for the info about "Wipe every cache you can find in EXT4 recovery and format EXT3 to EXT4."

first step I made was chosing: wipe | format option where I chose format all partitions (except sdcard). I also read further instructions in the comments here and wiped everything in EXT3 - 4EXT - EXT4 menu in the wipe | format -> EXT4 option. I installed Reaper ROM which was successful. I had problems with enabling Fastboot on my cellphone (where is it?) and from my PC i couldn't finish the process with CMD... When I boot my phone it freezes on T-Mobile animation.

I have also tried factory reseting and some recovery of data, system and cache. No help.

---------- Post added at 07:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:13 PM ----------

Anybody? Or maybe shall I reinstall the entire system? What to do then?
[HTC Desire S] Sllipp:
Okay, after heavy fights I managed to fix it (I hope so). At least it's working. The first 4 steps were perfectly described, so thanks anyway...
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Sorry, I've been away from my laptop for a few hours living in RL.

I'm glad it seems to be working - I assume you have installed Reaper v3.0?

Although things can be a bit daunting at first, they do start to make sense - pretty soon you will be flashing a new ROM every week just to see what is out there and for the fun of it.

At least you guys nowadays don't have to go through the pain of buying an XTC-Clip to physically achieve S-Off and run the very real risk of destroying your phone like we were doing less than a year ago :confused:

Ok, from reading this thread. it's sounds clear.

Still i have some questions about it.

Regarding the installation of the ROM for the first time, which type of files do i have to use on the sd-card, the ROM's zip package or the extracted files.

For the root-access, how do i know if the ROM i want to install is already pre-rooted.

And for the 4EXT recov. Can i back-up my stock rom, and where are they backed-up to. cause of the wiping of the memory,data, cache.
[HTC Desire S] n0elite:
You need to use the .zip files. All roms are rooted. Make nand bacup with ext4 of your stock rom.
[HTC Desire S] BlueFlam3:
Thanks. But where does the backup go, will it be erased when flashing.

Or is it backed-up on the sd-card

[HTC Desire S] n0elite:
It will be stored in the internal memory I think , not sure about it, but the backup won't be deleted when you flash a new rom.

The phrase "Wipe every cache you can find in EXT4 recovery and format EXT3 to EXT4. (Wiping cache is important, don't forget!)" in detail:

1. Boot into recovery

2. Format System (not wipe option but format option !!!)

3. Format Data

4. Format Cache then Format Boot

5. Wipe Data/Factory reset (1st option in wipe/format menu)

6. Wipe Dalvik Cache

Next if you have some wiping utility like Full Wipe 1.5 Ext4 for Saga.zip...run that by selecting install zip from sd card and installing the zip...

[HTC Desire S] jugg1es:
Can't help you there, got rid of sense, but look for Roms that have been developed recently or ones that have reached milestone 6 I think, they probably have the best ratings. Read all the comments for a Rom and they will tell you how stable they are. Try some and figure out what's best for you. I'm using BlindIce(no sense) waiting for a JB senseless Rom. There is a full list of Roms in the general section.
[HTC Desire S] glacier1122:
Thanks again! Asking some random questions,, what if i stuck at htc logo? Even after flashing boot.img , and what do u think if anyone can brick there device,i mean what are the cautions, what stupid things we should NOT do during this process?
[HTC Desire S] jugg1es:
Ok, I'm probably not the best person to ask as I've only been htc unlocked about a month, but, always check the md5sums with those listed with the Roms, always do a backup before flashing a new Rom. If a Rom has a choice of kernels flash the same one you used during installation. If you get caught in bootloop, don't pull battery, there a three finger restart vol up+ vol down+ power. I've found most of my bootloop problems have been because I didn't format all but sd card. Or I forgot to clear all the caches. Read lots before attempting, I read this forum till my eyes hurt and nothing made sense, only then did I attempt it. Would appreciate a more experienced dev to read this in case I've missed anything:o

And we're probably going to get a warning about posting in wrong section so for that I'm sorry to the mod. :rolleyes:
