I resign my ROMs before flashing after tweaking them to how I like them...there was a guide on here somewhere a few months ago...
[Desire Android Development] mike1986.:
I opened the customROM.zip in winrar, selected the file I want to remove and then the screen showed up that archive is broken and the operation was unsuccessful :( When I tried to extract zip file most files gave a information that archive is broken and CRC error.
[Desire Android Development] dread123:
just to be sure can any confirm wether this will remove the s-lock on a gsm desire? sure someone posted that it worked on a gsm?
[Desire Android Development] gunja99:
I've just read round, and quite a n00b in this area, but it looks like the Unrevoked guys have found out HOW to S-OFF the GSM desire, but won't be in 3.2, they will be releasing it after they have 3.2 out (which again looks imminent from their latest Tweet " Working on unrevoked 3.21. We'll be putting out test builds soon. about 1 hour ago via Tweetie for Mac ").

So NO 3.2/3.21 will NOT S-OFF the GSM Desire, but it looks like they will be releasing something shortly afterwards that will... Hope that clears it up!

I personally am going to wait for a working 3.2x with S-OFF for my GSM before using it!
[Desire Android Development] sam9s:
I was reading the posts of last couple of pages. can someone clear this for me .....

I am not able to run "Pull" command and most of the commands on my rooted 2.1 device. Is not having the S-OFF access to these rooted devices is the reason I am not able to to run most of the unix commands .......
[Desire Android Development] mike1986.:
Who knows... maybe in 3.21 there will be GSM S-OFF :) I really hope so! :)
[Desire Android Development] System of a pWne!^:
I'm wondering what the difference between GSM Desire and CDMA Desire is.

To my knowledge, my Desire is capable of 1G/2G (GSM/EDGE) and 3G/3G+ (CDMA/WCDMA). So what is my desire then? Most call my device a GSM Desire how I understood so far. So is a CDMA Desire only a Desire which only supports (W)CDMA but not GSM or what? Or shall a CDMA Desire be one which supports WiMax? I found this somehow unclear, because everything got mixed...
[Desire Android Development] mike1986.:
GSM and CDMA are different network type. Normally GSM is for Europe and CDMA for America. GSM uses SIM card while CDMA work differently (don't know exactly how).
[Desire Android Development] DigiPilot:
The GSM and CDMA Desires are almost totally completely different phones, just look the same on the outside and function the same in the UI.

WCDMA is nothing like CDMA at all. They only share the "CDMA" letters in their acronyms, which is confusing. WCDMA is actually an extended flavor of... and derived from GSM for wireless data transport. CDMA's counterpart for WCDMA will be LTC for 4G data on CDMA networks.

The CDMA Desires are for the US market... specifically US Cellular and Cellular South... two regional wireless carriers who use CDMA networks similar to Verizon and Sprint.

I was following the unrevoked IRC development chat for a while this morning and they were saying that S-OFF for the GSM Desires will definitely NOT be in this 3.21 release (or whatever version number it gets) which is only going to be a bugfix release of 3.2
[Desire Android Development] mike1986.:
Ok, thanks for the info. And the date of releasing 3.21 was specified or not really? :)
[Desire Android Development] foxmeister:
Sorry, but this is not quite correct.

CDMA stands for Code Division Multiple Access, and WCDMA stands for Wideband Code Division Multiple Access.

It is probably more correct to say that they are different implementations of the same underlying principles.

This document goes into more detail, but is exceedingly boring! :)

Regards,

Dave
[Desire Android Development] gronph:
Can you please tell me in which chanel they are actually? Is it still on freenode?
[Desire Android Development] 42turkeys:
#unrevokedtest on freenode.

Or click here: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=unrevokedtest&uio=d4

They pulled the test builds though... Bugs in the program.
[Desire Android Development] mike1986.:
With new unrevoked 3.21 I have just removed some apk's from system/data via root explorer. So my phone is S-OFF?
[Desire Android Development] con247:
reboot into hboot and see
[Desire Android Development] mike1986.:
I'm sorry guys but you were wrong about S-OFF. S-OFF means permanent root - that's all. Without S-OFF if ROM is rooted I can still have RW access to system files :)
[Desire Android Development] :
It didn't work for me, after updating the drivers, and rebooting, unrEVOked is unable to detect my desire, it's stuck on "waiting for device..."

Anybody knows where this might come from?
[Desire Android Development] MightySashiman:
without S-OFF you can access and READ files from /system, but not write nor delete. Try moving an apk from /system/apps to /sdcard => it will actually copy the file to sdcard but the file will also remain in /system/apps. Try copying/moving a file to /system, you'll get an error notice saying the dir is read-only...
[Desire Android Development] ivarson_swe:
maybe hes using the overlayfs?
[Desire Android Development] :
I'm just wondering, is there a way (once your phone is S-OFF) to return to S-ON again?

Things are starting to clear up for me now. S-OFF is nothing more then being able to W/D files from the /system folder while booted into android? (which would allow you to remove system apps without booting in to recovery mode and/or flasing zips).
[Desire Android Development] mike1986.:
Not really. I went to recovery mode, mount data and mount system and exectue my test bat file:

adb devices

adb shell rm /system/app/HtcFootprints.*

adb shell rm /system/app/HtcFootprintsWidget.*

adb shell rm -R /data/data/com.htc.android.footprints

adb shell rm -R /data/data/com.htc.footprints.widgets

adb shell rm /data/app_s/*Footprints*

adb shell reboot

And now Footprints is gone :)

BTW today I saw new OTA update with HBOOT 0.93.0001. Will unrevoked 3.21 deal with it?
[Desire Android Development] Dave_S:
Ahhhh, but that is unrelated to S-ON or S-OFF, since there is no write/delete protection in recovery mode. If there was write/delete protection in recovery mode, you would not be able to flash new firmware. S-OFF allows full R/W access of /system while fully booted into Android, so you do not need to reboot into recovery to make system changes.
[Desire Android Development] mrshark:
do yourself a favor: boot a linux live cd and use it... much easy...
[Desire Android Development] :
I think I'll wait for the 3.2 MacOSX version to come back, because the unrevoked 3.2 I've got is the PC one, I don't think it'll work on Linux...
[Desire Android Development] rena0783:
I recommend Ubuntu Live cd. Make sure you've got your wireless key to hand n then u can connect to net n follow instructions. Easy.
[Desire Android Development] mike1986.:
Ok, thanks for clearing this :) Anyway HBOOT 0.93 is out and it seems to be a problem ;)
[Desire Android Development] akpe:
Great news!

I've been waiting to root my 2.2 desire a while now (mostly for app2sd and market enabler).

Some newbie questions:

How difficult is the process? Just install drivers/, connect the phone and use the app, or is there a tutorial somewhere I should read beforehand?

I'm using the latest froyo rom on my desire, and since there's no need for a wipe, I'll just click "root now" (or similar) and be able to use my phone rooted without flashing another rom, right?

Thank you in advance! )
[Desire Android Development] MightySashiman:
I was obviously talking about accessing /system when the device is booted, not in recovery mode... You could have read the last couple of pages were it is clear what we are talking about...
[Desire Android Development] mike1986.:
You are right, I'm sorry :o
[Desire Android Development] Dafferen:
Will this work with SLCD OTA 2.2 non rooted Desire?
[Desire Android Development] brindyman:
i rooted with 3.2 on my gsm desire with hboot 0.92 on a win7 x64 machine...no probs at all...just made sure htc sync was uninstalled and used the modified drivers provided and all done :)
[Desire Android Development] MightySashiman:
I'd like to give it a try. As the main site has put the release on hold, would you mind uploading the release you used please ?

thx in advance.
[Desire Android Development] brindyman:
ive been trying to find it for a mate but i cant.....i did see a link in the EVO subsection of this forum though so you might be able to find it there
[Desire Android Development] MightySashiman:
Yeah but is the EVO release apply to the Desire ?...:confused:
[Desire Android Development] brindyman:
as far as i know the only problems with 3.2 were with the EVO phone but dont quote me on that.

it worked fine for me i used the pc version of 3.2 so i dont know if the other versions are different in that aspect
[Desire Android Development] MightySashiman:
Oh well, nevermind, can't find the damn thing in the EVO board (they seem to have another thing called enrevoked forever). If ever you come accross it, please gimme a link :°]
[Desire Android Development] ivarson_swe:
They have published the utility again, the link is set as topic in their irc-channel.. though they beg everyone not to distribute the link, but to join their channel to access it..

again.. its a TESTBUILD ..responsibility..yadayada.. void quarantee..yadayada.

http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=unrevokedtest
[Desire Android Development] BlackWhiteOne:
I tried Unrevoked 3.2 on my GSM desire but it still has a s-on.

did you get a s-off?

^ thats the link there and from what i gather from the various posts

3.2 = unrevoked and unrevoked forever.

i take no responsibility for that link that is just the link i was refering to in the EVO forum
[Desire Android Development] brindyman:
i dont believe they have found a way to turn s-off for the gsm version of the desire yet
[Desire Android Development] Dave_S:
In this release S-OFF only works on CDMA phones.
[Desire Android Development] MightySashiman:
thx guys, although my device is gsm and has already been rooted the old way. If the current 3.2 testbuild doesn't S-OFF GSM devices anyway, no point in my risking bricking it at all.

Thx again anyway :)
[Desire Android Development] mrshark:
it's been repeated over and over on this thread, use search...
[Desire Android Development] mike1986.:
Unrevoked 3.21 supports hboot 0.93.0001 as well :) Just for information :)
[Desire Android Development] DiogoLamego:
And work in sLCD screens? i have a slcd screen and hboot 0.93.0001
[Desire Android Development] mike1986.:
Should be working fine.
[Desire Android Development] chitowncubs:
So I have the HTC Desire CDMA (US Cellular)

Bravoc DVTZ SHIP S-ON

HBOOT: 0.98.0000

Radio: 2.05.10.06.29

I'm not seeing any options for this yet. As the Unrevoked is still down.. anyone out there root this phone yet?
[Desire Android Development] :
Just a FYI: I rooted my phone using the new unrevoked test build.

ROM: 2.2 OTA

HBOOT: 0.92.0001

RADIO: 32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20

NUMBER: 2.09.405.8
[Desire Android Development] kai84m:
But as I understood unrevoked they are working on S-OFF on GSM Desire. I think they already can do it, but they need a bit more time to release it to the public.

So there is still hope for us :D
[Desire Android Development] chitowncubs:
Just rooted phone using Unrevoked 3.2!
[Desire Android Development] mr. winterbottom:
Hi,

where is the unrevoked 3.2 for my HTC Desire (HBOOT 0.80)

I can't find this :eek:

I find only unrekoved 3.14

I want to please make r/w my patition /system :confused:

All talk from 3.2 !!!!

mr. winterbottom
[Desire Android Development] Dave_S:
3.2 will not make your UMTS/HSPA/GSM Desire write/erase capable from within Android, and 3.14 already makes your Desire write/erase enabled in recovery. The release notes indicate the write security can only be disabled in some CDMA/1xEV-DO Desire models.
[Desire Android Development] Kameo:
ok, dumb question... how do i get sure which phone version i have?

thanks.
[Desire Android Development] DigiPilot:
I have this very same HTC Desire.

I was able to both root it and get S-OFF last night using the test/pre-beta unrevoked, and participating in the testing IRC. It did not go smoothly, and there were a couple moments where I thought I might be in danger of having bricked my phone.

Sooooo..... yes, this phone is definitely rootable, and S-OFF-able, but trust me... you definitely want to wait for the unrevoked developers to put the final touches on the utility and get it ready for the public release.
[Desire Android Development] DigiPilot:
If you're in Europe, you've got a GSM Desire.

To find out the exact version info, power the phone off. Then press and hold the "Volume Down" button and at the same time press the power button to boot up the phone while keeping the volume Down button pressed. You can release both buttons as soon as the screen lights up.

This will give you the bootloader screen which has all the version numbers at the top. The text is tiny and hard to see however.

On my CDMA Desire, I have to remove the battery to kill the bootloader menu to restart the phone in normal mode.
[Desire Android Development] DigiPilot:
Did you enable USB debugging on the phone?

If your PC is Windows, getting the USB and ADB drivers actually installed and functioning correctly is a royal pain. It took me a long time and lots of reseach and effort to get rid of the yellow exclamation mark off the ADB driver under Windows Device Manager. Until I got that fixed, unrevoked would not detect my phone either.
[Desire Android Development] chitowncubs:
I was able to get ahold of the unrevoked 3.2 from someone and it worked perfect first attempt.
[Desire Android Development] mari0s:
Does the new 3.2 version support SLCD HBoot 0.83, and what version of clockwork it got?
[Desire Android Development] mike1986.:
yes, it does. ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.0.7
[Desire Android Development] chongreene:
I am having the same problem with the yellow exclamation point. How did you resolve this issue?
[Desire Android Development] MightySashiman:
bon dieu mais renseigne toi 5min avant de poster ce genre de stupide question... CDMA est réservé au réseau américain. Toi tu a un tel GSM. Donc prends ton mal en patience. Un point c'est tout.:eek:
[Desire Android Development] sam9s:
Any tentative date of the final release ......
[Touch CDMA Android Development] loserskater:
I've decided to make all these new useful tools a lot easier to access.

How to use:

1. Download python (Version 2.7)

2. Download androidtools.zip from below

3. Unzip to wherever you'd like

4. You'll need to update tools the first time you run

5. Then just select which tool you'd like to use

Updates:

You can find the source HERE that shows all updates for all these apps.

The "Update Tools" option pulls straight from git, so you can have the latest version at all times!

NOTE: It will create a tools folder (which contains all of the tools) in the directory that androidtools.py is in.

Fore More info on what each tool does, visit their thread:

Boot Script Generator

(This has been added to the current kernel's source, so if you're using the latest nbh/zImage, it should work fine)

Key Mapper

NBH Editor​

If you have any questions or problems with those programs, please post in those threads. If you have issues with the Android Tools program itself, please ask in this thread!

Thanks to l1q1d for the TONS of help over the past few weeks.
[Streak 5 Android Development] distortion:
Just came across this : http://psfreedom.com/news.php . Looks like there is Andoid development (jailbreak ps3 via android phone connected to ps3 via usb). There is a list of phones under development here: http://psfreedom.com/wiki/indexp.php?title=Device_compatibility_list

This is way geek (android development) over my head but it does look to be working on other phones with a snapdragon cpu ...

Food for thought ...
[Streak 5 Android Development] smokku:
You need a kernel module for PSFreedom to work.

To build this module, you need kernel source.

Dell didn't release the kernel source (violating GPL).

So - it's a no-go on Streak.
[Streak 5 Android Development] sottyc:
What about now:D Its released so surely its possible now and someone will work on it?
[Streak 5 Android Development] sottyc:
any updates?
[Streak 5 Android Development] crash6:
This is def possible but it will take some time. At this point all of us are working on porting to froyo.

Does this mean something?

maybe it will give you guys some ideas...:rolleyes:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] rodpp:
I guess there is a way to do this, but maybe need change some codes...

In the PSfreedom wiki I see a lot of devices compatibles yet, including Nokia, Palm and HTC phones.

We need a guy with the knowledge to make this port for the Kaiser, and here is the most probable place to find him!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] hadesmaster:
Port kernel psfreedom on HTC Kaiser

Hello;

I also have a Kaiser with the Kaiser rom CyanogenMod 6 [RLS5.2] and kernel-kaisimg panel2-240x320-2.6.32-tilt-froyo-02-09-10_16.nbh.

But when I try to load the module with "insmod psfreedom.ko su", you get an error "insmod: can not insert 'psfredom.ko': invalid module format".

I wonder if someone could not compile a kernel with the module in order to load the module to the application.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] pavo87:
a developer want to try? :D

://psfreedom.com/wiki/index.php?title=FAQ
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] wwnmt:
I spent some time working on this. I am sure it is possible.

I think there are two things that would have to happen.

1. A custom kernel. - I know there are a few things that must be disabled in the kernel. ADB USB Functionality, USB Mass Storage Functionality, Tethering, and on some devices WiFI. (I forget where I read that these must be disabled, but I did read it)

2. Changes to the code.

I am no expert at this, I think I am proficient at doing SOME things. I created a zImage last night. I know I am missing something tried to create a custom NBH and put it on my kaiser no go.

So, think I'll be spending more time on this. Anyone had any luck working on this at all?

UPDATE:

I did some pocking around, this is what I found in msm72k_udc.c for the closest thing to SET_ADDRESS (It was USB_REQ_SET_ADDRESS)

writel((ctl.wValue << 25) | (1 << 24), USB_DEVICEADDR);

I will be honest unsure if this is the driver for the controller due to the fact that on the device the usb driver is msm_hsusb. However, I tend to be wrong more than I am right so....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] xalalalala:
This phone is capable of it i'm sure. I just tried every other psfreedom releases and experienced different behaviours with each one of them. Though i know that zImage needs to be modified. I'm no programmer so i can't really help anyone with this.

So let's hope someone work something out.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] wwnmt:
OK I think It is not the msm72k but the msm_hsusb, when you look at the device it shows that in the usb driver folder.

Based on the psfreedom site is "in progress". Hopefully someone smarter than I is working it bc dont think Ill get far.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] rgtg:
i'm looking for a tytn2 port too! Thanks for all of you that's working for it.

sugestion...maybe put this thread as an official for psfreedom kaiser info?

thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] pavo87:
diamond port finished http://wiki.psfreedom.com/wiki/HTC_Raphael

this version can help for kaiser porting? :confused:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] xalalalala:
Yep as far as i know this is a good start...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] xalalalala:
Hi guys just passing by to show you something...

http://xdandroid.com/wiki/Supported_Devices

This android port works with kaiser as you can see in the compatibility table.

Is there anyone who's able to modify zImage for us?

I think we're getting close. The only problem so far is the usb driver.

Come on guys you can do it!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] pavo87:
don't work on kaiser, kaiser is tilt no tilt2 :o
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] xalalalala:
Oh man :( can someone remove number 2 from that table please just so i can sleep well tonight? :p
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] pavo87:
lol:D

but there are someone that is working on the porting?

sorry for my bad english :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] xalalalala:
There is someone working on the msm_hsusb usb driver yes.

Let's wait and see
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Michga:
I think the usb on kaiser working.. mean someone tell me it work on linux.. but in WXP can it fork too I think.. someone can use usb on W7 x64. But I can't get it work there...

Can anyone tel me how get it fully work on W7 x64? Thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] qqliudl:
come on guys, u can do it!!!!!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Milmirex:
Is still on development?, or nobody will continue?, its a shame, kaiser is very usefull on android Roms, maybe is not that easy to port.

By te way, is a port for HERO on the wiki, and kaiser runs several roms from Hero smartphone, is this useful?

http://wiki.psfreedom.com/wiki/Device_compatibility_list

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] pavo87:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] yospeedfreak:
What to do with this files :confused:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] fultotop:
You will need to be running dzo 2.6.32 kernel and load the psfreedom.ko as it is a module. The bin files I guess you would run from terminal. Not exactly sure as I only own 1 ps3 and I don't want to hack it.

PS. I dont know if it works as the kaiser is not listed on the compatible list.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] pavo87:
you can do an "how to"?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] fultotop:
The module wouldn't load I got unknown symbol in module or invalid parameter.
