I followed this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=742475 where I changed it slightly for Desire. I am by no means a dev and I changed things like "/dev/dalvik-cache" to "/cache/dalvik-cache" in the script so that /data/dalvik-cache is moved to /cache/dalvik-cache.

So download the attached file and run the following:

adb remount

adb push 02dalvik2cache.txt /system/etc/init.d/02dalvik2cache

adb shell chown root:2000 /system/etc/init.d/02dalvik2cache

adb shell chmod 755 /system/etc/init.d/02dalvik2cache

Reboot phone.

After doing this, my /data partition has more space remaining but my /cache partition has less space unless I'm just imagining things.

Test and see if it works. Seems safe to do, just take out the file you pushed into /system/etc/init.d/ and reboot to revert.

Here's how it looks now:

Hm, I added that file as described but after a reboot the phone didn't went out of the HTC boot screen. I waited several minutes. Went into recovery and removed that file. Now my phone boots again.

Update: Tried it again. First went into recovery after reboot and cleared cache and dalvik-cache. Then it worked. /data had almost 80megs free. But /cache was full at 100% with only 40mb which caused some strange side effects.
[Desire General] bluedragon1982:
Any news about getting s-off on htc wildfire?
[Desire General] mad-murdock:
You can flash radio from recovery using any hboot partition table. Only if you setup you own partition table with firerats tool, you may not flash radio anymore with recovery.

To all the others concerned about data space: either set up system size exactly to what your Rom needs (install Rom, find out space usage, set up partition for it, format and install again)

Or -much more easy and flexible- use the default partition table which fits for every Rom and use a2sd+ to replace data with an ext3 partition on your SD card. I got 512 mb sdext and still 250 mb available...
[Desire General] mad-murdock:
I should mention I use a2sd+ AND n1 table, since the bigger cache of n1table makes my 3d games run smoother.
[Desire General] StuMcBill:
Ok, so now I am confused. If I update to the N1 HBOOT I cannot update my radio?

I am thinking about installing the N1 HBOOT but want to make sure I have all the facts first!

[Desire General] ourfear:
IEF said you can flash radio if you use N1 HBOOT
[Desire General] mad-murdock:
To clarify:

All alpharev hboots: flash radio okay

Firerat desire custom partitioning(not connected to hboots or alpharev) : don't flash radio from recovery. Only fastboot.

Sorry if that wasn't clear in my last post.
[Desire General] Pajorve:
You guys are really very good !!!

Great work ... here it worked on the first try!

My desire ja was S-OFF, just gave the correct commands via ADB and now S-OFF that before was **** and now is-----

Very good

Thanks
[Desire General] ozguy:
S-OFF didn't finish??

Gather enough courage yesterday and grabed the Alpharev ISO, booted it and hooked up my Desire running Leedroid 2.2a. Things started - phase 1 OK, phase 2 a message on not being able to initialise the USB port, then OK and phase 3 starting. Message on it showing the boot screen for a while and the "do not touch or brick" warning.

Well - after 20 minutes I had to do something - my PC was running the Alpharev image so couldn't check anything else..

Bold move - removed battery and let the phone reboot. It came up with the recovery screen showing --- Alpharev --- on top and a S-OFF status - suggesting it all went well. Splash1 however still was the Telstra screen - no joker - and no, device didn't want to load the rom at all.

Tried to reflash the ROM - Flash ROM from SD card - started but failed. Tried an older version of Leedroid - same failure. Tried Nandroid restore - and that worked!!

Have since reflashed the latest LeeDroid and all seems well. Still no Joker Splash1 however. Root Explorer suggests it can mount R/W but didn't try removing anything.

What do you guys think - all well?? Anyone else had an experience like this??

Just happy to not have bricked it....
[Desire General] djlouist:
I think I bricked mine. I did pretty much the exact same thing on my desire but now it just hangs at the Joker screen.

I can boot into clockwork recovery, I restored an NANDROID to no avail also.

As I am a complete Noob, I'm just wondering if I have in fact bricked it, and if I haven't how do I fix it?

Thanks.
[Desire General] djlouist:
Update: Just reflashed leedroid2.2a and everything's working fine phew.
[Desire General] crawlingroof:
does anyone know the answer ?! pleeeease
[Desire General] Zinyal:
Hello,

When I flash new version of AlphaRev modified HBOOT with N1table, do i still need ap2sd+? Is need to do a clean flash of OpenDesire ROM after flash of the modified HBOOT?
[Desire General] Judge584:
Same for me: pleeaaaase!
[Desire General] mad-murdock:
I would say, you are pretty lucky. There are people who had to wait 30 minutes till step 3 was done. Wonder, why the initial post does say so. Anyways, for your own sake, reflash hboot. Do it via fastboot like the website suggests. Don't use n1table if you run leedroid. If fastboot throws an error, report here. If not: congratulations.
[Desire General] killawatts:
Has anyone been able to successfully flash using CM 6.0.2? I'm about to do this but I'll hold off if there is a good chance its going to fail.
[Desire General] ~David:
Just to clarify, I have no idea if the ROM was responsible. I never tried it a second time with CM 6.0.2, I decided to go straight to another ROM after it failed.

It could have been a one-time fluke, I may have screwed something up (though there isn't exactly much room for error), there could have been a tiny earthquake centralized directly under the USB port to which my Desire was connected and loosened the cable... I have no idea.

Again though, it didn't brick my Desire. The flash process never even started.

In other words, your results may vary.
[Desire General] killawatts:
Thanks!

For those who are interested it ran flawlessly for me. CM 6.0.2 hboot .83.

Telus SLCD Desire.

Ran the iso off a usb stick. S-OFF!
[Desire General] Kalashnikitty:
it works! thank u very much ieftm! i love u /hug

one question, with fullroot now we can completly r/w to system right?

i installed metamorph but it doesn´t work :(

ok metamorph works after reinstalling it.. yay :D thanks
[Desire General] mr.r9:
It worked effortlessly for me! Thank you guys, the community will love you for this.

Desire amoled with oper desire 4.0.32.
[Desire General] ~David:
Good to hear :)

Another member was just in IRC with the exact same problem I had, he was running Leedroid 2.1a.

Again, his wasn't bricked. USB connectivity was lost and the flash never even started.
[Desire General] killawatts:
I'm really stoked to see someone make all the partitions into one big partition on the desire. Being able to use all the unused space on our phones will be amazing.
[Desire General] talkiet:
Just a note to report another success...

[Desire General] kassemja:
Hi All,

Just inquiring if anyone has tired running the ISO via VMware on a MAC.

I don't have easy access to pc to able to boot ISO image natively and I’m curious about what methods are working properly.

Also I note some people were having issues with ROM the using. Would it be best just to use Mighty_X_240910_D.zip to cautious?

I’m keen to try, but don’t want I bricked phone. Already had one through switch off whilst flashing radio update.

Thank to all the Dev’s who brought us S-OFF to desire and everyone who inputs to XDA you guys ROCK! :)

[Desire General] suiller:
well done bro...

to automatize ALL it's possible to integrate your script with a simple batch file like this (saved always under tools folder):

@echo off
adb push 02dalvik2cache.txt /system/etc/init.d/02dalvik2cache
adb shell chown root:2000 /system/etc/init.d/02dalvik2cache
adb shell chmod 755 /system/etc/init.d/02dalvik2cache
adb shell grep -v dalvik.vm.dexopt /system/build.prop ^> /system/build.prop2
adb shell mv /system/build.prop2 /system/build.prop
adb shell reboot

ps: remember "fastboot erase cache" before ALL (soon after pushing the N1 patch)
[Desire General] djmickyg:
i just did it.. it said it all worked properly..

now my phone keeps booting into fastboot and I cant get past that..

I tried flashing a revovery image but that didn't seem to help.

help!

EDIT: i think its fixed.. the recovery image fix allowed me to get into the recovery mode and re flash my backup..
[Desire General] mr_dinosaur:
Bro,

All I take credit for is mad Google skills. :-p

I'm gonna try this batch file later when I get home.

What is the original size of data and cache partition? With deodexing I've lost about 50mb storage place. I'm wondering how much will I have back when I flash alpharev for deodexed roms?

As far as I know the AlphaRev for sense is:

/system: 180M

/cache: 90M

/data: 181M

What is the original size of those partitions?

EDIT:

I flashed the sense alpharev version and then I tried to flash my sense deodexed ROM. I got following errors:

E:Can't symlink /system/xbin/su

E:Failure at line 78: symlink /system/bin/su SYSTEM:xbin/su

Size of my ROM is 144MB so should be fine, right?
[Desire General] gazbea:
Worked a charm! Only took 15 minutes to reboot and S-Off! Fantastic work :-)

[Desire General] CiPhEr-|-:
If you're a newbie you should keep your fingers off flashing S-Off! This is not a fun game - you can brick your phone if anything goes wrong!
[Desire General] horst0815:
everybody should be aware of that, it's written all over the place. and regarding this special thingie with s'offing your desire: it doesn't matter if you flash for the first time, or you are experienced with years of flashing numerous devices. you can't do really something wrong here. you only click to start the process, the rest is automatically done.
[Desire General] mad-murdock:
I agree with cifer. If you read alpharev.nl, but dont understand what they write there, leave it. You wont use it anyways - there are only few things you need s-off for.

[Desire General] twics:
I had the same thing I did mine a while ago in the end I had to flash my rom again, just remove phone if its been over half hour, if your phone will only boot to bootloader you might have to do the same.

Also I have a question I should of asked when I did my S-OFF, I had same problem as above but I mannaged to solve mine but Iv never seen the (why so serious) splash page I still have the HTC splash anyone know why:confused:

Thanks for any info.
[Desire General] mad-murdock:
I talked to a couple of people now, where step 3 didnt finish. For all of them, they could reflash hboot doing

fastboot flash hboot alpharev-hboot.img

Some even didnt have problems at all. But all missed the modified splash1 image (joker with the s-off card) - can someone enlighten us, what step3 does? Would save me to rip apart the iso, since i am curious

It depends on what you want to do? You can now have write access to the system partition while booted into Android.

And you can flash recoveries, radios etc from fastboot.

[Desire General] MrPontus:
foolproof maybe, but not perfect.

mine got stuck on stage 3, I waited 1½h, the battery out.

the phone booted and I had the why so serious, and HBOT seems to be ok.

I'm new to the S-OFF thingy, I tried booting to my ROM (Lee 2.1a) but I got stuck on the last animated boot screen, I waited maybe 20min before I did two more tries (15 min this time) ok so my ROM is broken somehow, I entered recovery flashed update.zip

here while entering ClockworkMod recovery I saw a new message that I have not seen before.

"E:Error in DATA:data/recovery/log

(No space left on device)"

then I tried flashing the latest Lee ROM that I had on my SD card (2.2d) but that failed too :(

[Desire General] ieftm:
Sorry, we'll do a few specific layouts, but we won't be doing tailormade.

That involves too much work, and ofcourse we need to be treating everyone equally.

You can easily move some stuff over from /system to /data on any Sense rom.

There's always specific apps that can be downloaded from the Market nowadays even. (Think Facebook, Maps/Street view, Quickoffice, PDF Viewer -> Acrobat Reader, Gallery 3D, etc. etc.)

For this specific layout, we tried to keep as much of the bloatware off as possible, if you want it, put it in /data.

Is there a list of the different partition layouts per hboot listed anywhere?
