Hi

My Desire is currently S-OFF . .

Something strange happened to me when I tried to backed up or restored with NANDROID .

After reboot I got USB BRICK . And it's happen to me twice .

I also saw that most of the people who got USB BRICK have S-OFF ..

Does it make sense that there is a problem with S-OFF/NANDROID and USB BRICK?

Has this happened to someone else? :rolleyes:
[Desire General] StuMcBill:
Most people who got a usb brick, was in the early days of rooting when the s-off procedure didn't even exist.

So,when i click on fastboot, i can access it, when i click recovery I can access it too.

I did S-off on one HTC Desire earlier, and did the same with this one but I'm stucked here.
[Desire General] hallydamaster:
Just flash your ROM again, and everything should be back to normal again, no need to flash an RUU.

According to ieftm there is an issue with the new PVT4 devices, and thats probably why it will not work in your case.
[Desire General] Bubach28:
what rom do you suggest?
[Desire General] liderzre:
I've got s-off and also usb brick. :(

Edit: My problem is:

in recovery mode i see sd card, and when boot any rom cant acses to sd card.

ON boot i've got message: I'ts now safe to remove SD card

Edit 2: Solved. Broken SD card..
[Desire General] hallydamaster:
Oh yeah... Forgot that! You cannot flash any custom ROMs yet, as the custom recoveries does not work with that phone yet! Flash the RUU you mentioned yourself, and then root it if you like!
[Desire General] bhines:
S-OFF FAILed

burned img, boot from cd, step 1-3 seemed to go OK!

then got msg sayin

"Could not push the initial files during step 1. this is most likely a permissions error on your data partition.

We have tried our best to circumvent this, but most likely your ROM is either not rooted properly, causing failure.

Your best option is to backup everything, and flash a custom ROM that is properly rooted and has ADB root.

Remember: your HBOOT is NOT S-OFF, and it is not bricked."

also i tried with ROM: Defrost 6.0i, Oxygen 0.2.2beta, got the same message.

tried to flash LeeDrOiD_v2.2 prior got this message :

E:can't symlink /system/xbin/sv failure

dont know if its the same promlem causing this

Does anyone know if theres something i can do to get this sorted out?

Hello,

It seams in looking my partitions size that it's Bravo Stock 1.5 image which corresponds

I see in the site : "Flash HBOOT with your phone in fastboot mode (Back+POWER) -> 'fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img' (change into the correct filename for the HBOOT you downloaded)"

It's for phone that are already S-OFF to upgrade hdboot version?

Thanks :-)
[Desire General] jedininja666:
Has anyone tried the "Power Down" option within Fastboot? Everytime I select it, it doesn't actually power down the phone at all, it reboots it. Is "Reboot" and "Power Down" options the wrong way around? Can someone else test and let me know what they find?

Edit: Just realised it only does this if it's in "Fastboot USB Plug mode", i.e. the USB is plugged in. Interesting.

according to the instructions:

1) Nandroid backup in recovery.

2) Verify the MD5SUM of the file you downloaded against the one in the table.

3) Flash HBOOT with your phone in fastboot mode (Back+POWER) -> 'fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img' (change into the correct filename for the HBOOT you downloaded)

4) 'Fastboot reboot-bootloader'

5) 'Fastboot erase cache'

6) Boot recovery, wipe everything and restore.

number 6 says to wipe everything, this includes ,data, cache and dalvik right?

so in order to S-OFF, i would need to wipe data and settigns?
[Desire General] loedrus:
You aren't already s-off, right? Then you have to download the .ISO (the CD image) from www.alpharev.nl, burn it, reboot into the cd's OS and follow the on-screen instructions then... the quoted instructions are only applicable when you change the HBOOT after you have s-off.

Successfully S-Offed my Desire on Orange stock ROM.

Many thanks.
[Desire General] BHBoyg:
Help, my good grief HELP!

Ok, so keeping it as short as possible. Brand new HTC desire on Orange UK. Full of all that Orange junk. Unrevoked root on it, all dandy. Spend at least an hour trying to figure out (I know google is my friend) why all the E:Can't nonsense was happening any time I tried making a back-up or flashing a ROM.

I moved onto alpha rev S-off solution at this point. Ran it, worked fine till part 3 then got the 'failed but don't worry it's not bricked'. Turn it back on and I've got a white HTC screen with black lines on normal startup, but POWER + VOL D works ok, but still S-on and and all the "E:Can't..." nonsense.

At this point I'm sitting in my onesie with a massive headache having not moved since about 1800 04/12/10, and now 12 hours later I've finally learnt my lesson, research as much as I can (thankyou google) and then ask any questions you cant find answers for before I plunge/stumble into another barbed and bear trapped solution.

So question is if I follow the recovery method used by Bubach28 and a few others, using .zips of the ROM the desire shipped with will it all go grand? My concern is that I didn't unbrand my desire. It's rooted but I didn't bother unbranding it. So now will I be able to use any old stock ROM or am I scuppered because I cant find an Orange specific zip or an Orange RUU?

I blame Oranges stupid 2.****e F-yo(u) version of Sense and my own stupidity equally on this one. Help and advice MUCH appreciated, otherwise I have a nice shiny new alternative for the spork I've always wanted.
[Desire General] Saenic:
Maybe try another custom rom and see if s-off works with it.

any ideas? what can i do?

[Desire General] PaulW21781:
Did you do a full nandroid before changing to the n1table, reboot into recovery, perform a full wipe of /cache /data and /system, and then restore said backup?
[Desire General] yenemy:
Sorry, if this is already answered elsewhere, I've done several searches and can't find any answers to an (admittedly obscure) question.

On my PVT4 (erasesize 20000) Desire, I boot into fastboot, and I'm greeted at the top of the screen with the following two lines:

BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-OFF

HBOOT-0.93.0001

I have an SLCD Desire, so according to AlphaRev's site, the HBOOT version should be right (their FAQ says: "For Desire, we've patched HBOOT 0.93, which has AMOLED and SLCD support.")

It also clearly says it's S-OFF, so I'm thinking I should already be able to flash one of those lovely HBOOT images to get some more precious /data space.

The one thing that's worrying me, is that in most threads I've seen there is some indication of AlphaRev being the S-OFF procedure; does it matter at all that I don't see an --AlphaRev-- or **AlphaRev** line, or is that just an indication of a means to the end?
[Desire General] bernabap:

Can someone assist and hold my hand pretty please :)

I've downloaded the aplharev.iso and the bravo_alphaspl-n1table.img... do I put the iso on my SD card along with the img file?

what do I do with the iso? just run it from magic iso or something?

1) Nandroid backup in recovery. (I understand this bit)

2) Verify the MD5SUM of the file you downloaded against the one in the table. (how do I check this)

3) Flash HBOOT with your phone in fastboot mode (Back+POWER) -> 'fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img' (change into the correct filename for the HBOOT you downloaded) (right, I know how to do back and power but how do I flash the .img - how do I get this option up)

4) 'Fastboot reboot-bootloader' (right I see this option)

5) 'Fastboot erase cache' (I don't see this option yet; I presume it comes up later)

6) Boot recovery, wipe everything and restore.

[Desire General] Rastaman-FB:
the only thing i can think of is that you have an engineering hboot. nearly all alpharev s-off's ive seen have the pink writing at the top.

only thing you can do is try the things you need to, if they fail it shouldnt break anything as it just means the commands are not accepted.

[Desire General] mad-murdock:
You mix up two different implementations which change the way where data is stored. This cannot work. Ask in your rom thread how.to handle this, since this got nothing to do with s-off.

There are some nice a2sd implementations out there which can handle your problem. But your rom had a own way.

So again, ask in your rom thread

[Desire General] mad-murdock:
Yes, there is. It's called custom mtd. you can set the size of each partition within a text file. But you cannot flash radio anymore from recovery. You need s-off and fast boot for it.

Swyped with HTC Desire. Excuse typos.
[Desire General] ShirazSuleman:
I was feeling the same way but I've just done it. All you have to do is burn the alpharev.iso to a CD and boot your PC with it. Then plug your phone in (it does not need to be in fastboot or anything). And it will do the rest :)

I am assuming you would need the Android USB drivers installed which is used for unrevoked as well but not sure.
[Desire General] cristianomc:
With Unrevoked 3.2 you do not need to reflash a official ROM or uses Unrevoked-forever. The ROM will be already downloaded to the "download" folder. When it asks for update click to remember later and reboot in recovey mode. Then select to install update.zip. Then toogle signature on/off. The first time you click on this it will show you ON, the second disables signature checking. Select the .zip update already downloaded to the phone from the sd card (download folder). Wait for reboot now. Then it will do some procedures and reboot. Done!

ps: before entering fastboot to reboot in recovery mode, I selected "debug mode" in phone (applications/development).

Cheers!

The partition layout is more something based on user preference, and you can easily switch between partition layouts once your device is fully rooted, or so it seems.

Regardless all attempts to RUU result in a Error 107 USB Connection error. I have tried my usual pc Win7 x64, I also tried another pc Win XP x86.
