The pro of Bravo stock is that leedroid fits on it out of the box and your rom will boot.The con is that partition wise you have gained nothing.

The pro of Bravo sense is that you will have bigger data but the con is that your rom won't fit unless you slim it down yourself.

All the other partitions won't work either because Leedroid is not designed to work with small cache or because the system partiton is way to small.
[Desire General] chribonn:
Thanks. Then I'm good then.

For the benefit of others I'm attaching a screen shot of my screen:

[Desire General] ahac85:
so once i'm s-off will i need to wipe and do a nandroid or just leave things as they are???

EDIT CAN i also just ask im on leedroid 2.2f and i am happy with the current partition tables which are stock so when i become s-off in the next couple of mins (fingers crossed) do i need to flash the bravo stock 1.8 table or just leave it as it is? im thinking i dont have to but i just want to be sure??

update: Wohoo im s-off and patched to the latest hboot, thanks again to everyone who helped
[Desire General] Anakha56:
Has anyone had a usb brick doing S-OFF with the following info:

Bravo PVT1 Ship S-ON

HBOOT-0.80.0000

MICROP-031d

TOUCH PANEL - SYNT0101

RADIO-5.14.05.17

Also I have changed the memory card, should the original card be in the phone or does it not matter?
[Desire General] themoviesss:
trouble!

finally did the S-off with Alfharev 1.8...

but i'm having troubles now!!

started with errors on step 1 but didn't dare to break the usb connection.

went to step 2 without problems

now on step 3: waiting for flash to complete....

hub 1-0:1.0 port 8 disabled by hub (EMI?), re-enabling...

on phone: normal NAND detected. Non Pvt4.

stays on this for 20 minutes already..

What to do? is it a brick?

please help

IRC channel help: just reboot.. nothing has been flashed at this point.. Wow was i glad to hear. rebooted, restored an up and running again.

Now i know: don't do this with data2sd script!!
[Desire General] amitabhishek:
What is the best partition option to play games like Angry Birds, watch .avi videos & to enjoy Sense ROMs without much stuttering/lag? Also I am more comfortable in flashing via .zip method (as against fastboot) however there is no MD5 checksum for PB99xx.zip files. Are they safe to flash?

Edit: I fastbooted Bravo Sense & everything is working like a charm. No bricked phone here! :)
[Desire General] tristan202:
Today i flashed the Sense HBOOT, and everything went haywire since that. I can't boot anything. I followed the directions to the point, but nothing works. I can restore just fine, and I can flash new roms fine, but they won't boot. Anyone else experienced anything like that?
[Desire General] TheGhost1233:
What are you trying to flash? Almost all sense (new and old) roms need the stock bravo layout, unless you slim them down yourself.
[Desire General] fatspirit:
Is the alpharev's 1.8 default hboot 0.93.0001 or 0.93.1000?
[Desire General] benleong2008:
Hi

When I am in fastboot mode My adb devices list is empty. However when it's in recovery mode, I can see my device in adb devices.

I am using Oxygen Hboot and wish to flash another hboot so I can use other ROM.

How do I solve this problem?
[Desire General] mikep99:
Try 'fastboot devices' not adb devices :)
[Desire General] benleong2008:
OHH I can see it now :p

But now when i type this command "fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img"

I get the error "cannot load bravo_alphaspl.img"

I think I have placed the downloaded file correctly in the tools folder of the android sdk and I even tried putting it in C:drive.

File name is correct and md5sum is correct as well.

May I know what did I do wrongly here?
[Desire General] mikep99:
Double check its in the tools folder and its spelt correctly.

It should work.
[Desire General] benleong2008:
I swear I have checked more than 5 times already :(

Here is the link http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/594/fastboot.png/

Have been figuring it out for hours but still no clues sigh
[Desire General] :
Well in the picture you've got two different roots?! c:\users\ben and c:\android\tools ... not so sure whats in the first one but give the other a try!

fastboot flash hboot c:\android\tools\alphabla.img
[Desire General] mikep99:
Sorry, didn't mean to doubt you :)

I'm on my phone so can't see the image you uploaded fully.

Your phone is booted into fastboot?

Perhaps try turning off antivirus?

Just guessing here...
[Desire General] benleong2008:
Hello

It is actually the same. I followed from one of the adb guides here in XDA and therefore I don't have to type "change directory" command everytime for adb commands.

I used to flash Oxygen Hboot before and it worked out well.

If i type cd c:/android/tools and then try the flash command I still get the same error.

**Nop, with antivirus switched off, it is still the same.

UPDATE: Geez! I made a mistake, should not have put the extension name .img when renaming it.

Anyway thank you guys for trying to figure it out and sorry for my stupid mistake :p
[Desire General] :
Where do I find this guide? Or what do I have to do to get that result?

Did you check md5sum? Tried redownloading?
[Desire General] mikep99:
Glad its sorted :)

Mistakes are easily made.
[Desire General] benleong2008:
Yup md5sum is correct and I have now flashed the other Hboot already :)

I followed this "how to install ADB and fastboot" section in Nexus S forum

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=878786&highlight=adb

so I can just type in cmd everytime I want to use adb commands.
[Desire General] 3tybagig:
Hi guys.

This is a great tool. Thanks.

I am wondering if there is a way to wipe everything in the phone without using the S-Off tool though?

For example:

Let's say I buy a new Desire and I plan on putting in a new Hboot, recovery, partition table, rom.

Can I just plug in the new phone and in adb issue one or 2 commands to wipe the device then push in everything listed above manually?

I am going to replace everything in the phone anyway.

At present I need to:

unrevoked-root (osx)

S-Off (linux)

./fastboot recovery (osx)

./fastboot partition-table (osx)

./fastboot splash1 (osx)

recovery apply update (android)

I would like to just do something like:

adb shell wipe and install hboot

./fastboot recovery (osx)

./fastboot partition-table (osx)

./fastboot splash1 (osx)

adb shell #apply /sdcard/update.zip (osx)

Also looking for a Mac version of nbimg.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

[Desire General] kino1122:
Hey everybody, I have a GSM Desire PVT1 with HBOOT 0.93.0001. I rooted it with unrevoked, but am unable to S-Off it. I've burnt the .iso file and it detects that my phone is connected. However, it does not seem to recognize the device - the model number, HBOOT version, and other fields remain blank. In the end, it tells me that it will power off in 60 seconds. My question is basically whether or not AlphaRev 1.8 is compatible with HBOOT 0.93.0001, or if I'm just doing something wrong. Thanks!
[Desire General] stigdu:
I'm having exactly the same problem.

Got my Desire about a week ago, and trying to get rid of Orange bloatware. I rooted the phone with revoked, but when I use Titanium Pro to 'forcefully delete' apps, the phone resets and I get the little android fella with a big exclamation mark in a triangle. I'm assuming this is because I have "s-on."

I've tried 2 different methods to get my phone to S-OFF status and none of them have worked.

1) Burn alpharev iso to CD, boot from CD with phone attached. I get the same as the chap above.

2. Use adb, terminal services and something called gfree to push gfree to the phone. No luck here either.

My phone is an Orange-branded HTC Desire running android 2.2 and has been rooted with unrevoked's software.

I'm really at my wit's end now on how to get my phone to s-off. I feel more like telling it to f-off to be honest, at this point.

EDIT:

I've just tried a third method, using a program called unrevoked forever. Put the zip file in the root of my sd card then tried to flash it from the recovery menu in bootloader. It also failed, and the error log says this:

Verifying system type...

.

.

Got device:

@PID: 77,"BRAVO"

Got radio version:

5.10.05.30

E:unsupported system

E:Update failed.

Could it be because I don't have the correct radio version on my phone that I'm having so much trouble getting S-OFF to work?

Any help much appreciated! :)
[Desire General] hispeedworm:
before making your device F-off ;)why dont you do some basic troubleshooting ....

no 1.... check the MD5sum of the alpha rev iso file you downloaded...

no2.... burn the alpharev iso file using some software which verifiy correct burning after image burn... i used imgburn

no3.... if your rooted than i suggest install leedroid rom and over it donot install any other apps to keep the process of step 3 small.....

no4... if your not rooted yet. i suggest you do that first ... unrevoked is a good choice for it.....

when all these these steps are done... charge your cell to full battery ... put in the verified cd. boot from it. when it asks connect your phone do it than.... hopefully it will S-off :)
[Desire General] hispeedworm:
and btw you dont need to be s-off if you just want to remove orange specific bloatware..... just flash over leedroid rom 2.3d via CWM.... be it a2sd or non a2sd... your choice....

its a mush more polished and faster rom.... and its all stock with few goodies from here and there:D
[Desire General] dergago:
Ok, perhaps this question is stupid...

How can I find the version of my AlphaRev?

Because I don´t know which version is currently on my phone
[Desire General] hispeedworm:
boot into bootloader.... the upper pink line says alpharev along with its version number :)
[Desire General] stigdu:
Thanks for the tip - the LeeDroid ROM looks great. I do have a rooted phone now, but even though I've put the LeeDroid ROM on the root of my storage card, I don't know how to run it.

I tried to install it via ROM Manager, which boots my phone into recovery mode (clockword mod) but then I get a picture of a big exclamation mark in a triangle next to the droid. It won't work because it says e: signature verification failed. Nothing I do seems to work. :(
[Desire General] f0xy:
Turn off signature verification off in recovery.

This is a simple task, if you cannot master the simplest of task's I would not recommend messing with your mobile telephone!
[Desire General] Lexxi:
I want to use the N1Table and i found the following guide on the cyanogenmod forum:

1) Boot into Recovery

2) Nandroid Backup

3) Reoot into Fastboot:

* adb reboot bootloader

* or manually with vol down

4) Flash Alpharev N1 mod hboot (download from http://alpharev.nl and verify md5 checksum)

* fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl-n1table.img

5) Reboot into Recovery

6) Restore Nandroid

7) Wipe Cache (not data)

8) Fix system dalvik cache position:

* adb shell

* mount /system

* sed -i /dalvik.vm.dexopt-data-only=1/d /system/build.prop

* umount /system

9) cleanup old cache files:

* adb shell

* mount /data

* rm /data/dalvik-cache/system*

* umount /data

10) Reboot

I just have two questions:

1. Do i have to do steps 8+9 after i booted into Recovery or after a normal boot?(i dont even know if i could do steps 8+9 if Android is already running, just want to make sure)

2. Do i have to redo steps 8+9 every time i wiped everything and installed a new rom?

thx in advance
[Desire General] hispeedworm:
my sister phone had exact same problem ... 2 ways to get past it....

1. put the leedroid on your sd card.... go into rom manager and select install rom from sdcard... select leedroid zip and select option wipe phone and press okay.

when phone restarts... the exclamination mark comes up... simply take out the battery and put it back in ... press power and volume down button together and keep holding it till bootloader comes up.

than after few seconds when it says waiting for sd card and pb99.img not found.....

use volume button to go down to recovery and press power button once to get into CWM recovery... at this point the installation of leedroid will automatically start :P

second method.....

skip rom manager ....

turn off phone.... turn it back on and go into bootloader by method described above....

go into CWM.....

inside that use the trackpad for motion and press it to select....and power button click registers as go back button....

go to wipe data factory reset... press yes....

that will be done

than go into advanced and in that select wipe dalvik cache... yes and let it be done

than go back into main menu of CWM

select install zip from sd card

move to leedroid zip file select it ... and it will be installed....

when done go back to main menu and select option reboot :D

and incase the installation doesnt start ... select option turn off verififcation ... and than install :)

hope this helps
[Desire General] stigdu:
@f0xy - signature verification WAS off. :) Which is why it was odd.

Anyway, thanks very much for your help hispeedworm, much appreciated. Turns out it was just a bad download. I re-downloaded and it worked a treat. Absolutely wonderful ROM, just what I was looking for!
[Desire General] hispeedworm:
your welcome :)

just remember your not supposed to do OTA update over rooted phone ..... so turn off scheduled check of software update on your phone :D

it can cause bricking of your phone and you dont want that :)

and since your new to leedroid rom i suggest you search for and try espresso theme for leedroid..... for version 2.29.xxx

it gives a really nice face lift..... search for it in themes section of desire forum
[Desire General] teppic74:
Does anybody know if this disables CID checking as well as signature checking? That way it'd be possible to flash an RUU directly without a goldcard. Useful for recovery or warranty.

Though if not, it'd be easy to get around now (extract the ROM, edit the CID list, flash).
[Desire General] LeszekSwirski:
No good for me -- tried it four times, and each time step 3 finishes, saying that the exploit failed, to start again, and to make sure I'm rooted. Tried it both in VMWare and as a LiveUSB. I'm running:

ROM: MCR r8
[Desire General] System of a pWne!^:

there is no need for them to hack the HBOOT.

works fine for me :D

HBOOT 0.80 running latest LeeDroid ;)
[Desire General] LeszekSwirski:
Oh don't get me wrong, give it a go; it could just be my device being weird, and I certainly didn't get bricked. It'd be good to know if it's not the ROM causing trouble.

Same for me - latest LeeDroid, latest Radio latest ClockWorkModRecovery and HBoot 0.80. :-/

Whole Flash done in about 2-3 minutes ... including laptop to boot! :-)

ALL FINE, OD .32 is up, latest Clockwork Recovery is fine, too!

[Desire General] justinkb:
nice release, works for my unbranded phone. though metamorph still gives the infamous error... i can mv /system/app/YouTube.apk to /system/app/YouTube.bak though, so metamorph must be at fault.

did the *** AlphaRev *** in HBOOT really have to be pink though? can you make another version where that is another color? i don't mind the tag at all, just the color :P
[Desire General] ajimi_255:
S-F*CKING-OFF! was on HBOOT 0.80 with CM 6.0.2.

PS: I had a Problem to reboot my phone. It felt back to fast boot every time. The solution was to restore my Nandroid-Backup and everything is just fine right now.

Cheers Marco
[Desire General] pramdit:
Niceee...working great with OD .23 and HBOOT 80

Another two minutes of full adrenalin time :D
[Desire General] stigdu:
Once again, thank you - I'll be sure to check it out! :)
[Desire General] Puenos:
Why don't you simply follow the guide directly from alpharev..?

_________________________________________________________

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.

_________________________________________________________

You could also use "Fastboot Commander" for simply flashing HBOOT n stuff without the need of the whole SDK..

When I'm usually flashing another HBOOT, I do a nandroid backup, boot in fastboot mode, flash the hboot (by using adb with those lines for rebooting bootloader and cache ereasing)..

After that, I wipe everything, data, cache.. EVERYTHING..and then I restore my nandroid backup.. or restore/flash a ROM

Dalvik should be movable via A2SD script itself I guess? Idk for sure though..

Cache should be erased by either the last adb command or via recovery I guess?

But again, I haven't heard of the guide you posted, neither do Iknow what those extra lines specifically do.. so no warranty and dont blame me if something goes wrong :P
[Desire General] enuazeal:
can someone upload android usb drivers for windows 7 32bit that work with fastboot. everything i tried doesn't work. i connect phone to pc via usb in fastboot mode, open cmd prompt in android-sdk/tools type fastboot devices and nothing happend.
[Desire General] 3tybagig:
In order for fastboot and adb to work we must first install:

windows htc driver

sdk tools

java

Then uninstall HTC sync leaving the HTC driver in place.

If you have done all that and it still doesn't work. Might be your copy of fastboot. mine is attached.

[Desire General] Lawrence7:
guys so u mean i have to burn alpharev.iso and the put it in the dvd rom and then what?
[Desire General] jadephyre:
Burn the ISO onto a CD, then boot from the CD and do EXACTLY what the program tells you.
[Desire General] Lawrence7:
thank you :D

edit: Doneeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im s-off with 0.93!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thank you!

now all i have to learn is where i will put the recovery image to flash it with fastboot.
[Desire General] enuazeal:
i did that long time ago, when i was rooting Desire with Unrevoked. i have even last Android SDK R9 (Java also installed JRE and JDK)
[Desire General] Lawrence7:
the thing is i dont know how i gonna flash the recovery.
[Desire General] jadephyre:
good to hear that you got it done :)

The recovery image you want to flash HAS to be in the same directory as the fastboot executable.

It doesn't work otherwise ;)
[Desire General] Lawrence7:
Your the man!! done!! omg that was soooo simple, but when i want to use the adb shell and type adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img i get error saying:

flash_image: not found.
[Desire General] MrDevil:
use fastboot. the command is fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. be sure point to where you recover.img is stored. for me it's c:\downloads.
[Desire General] Lawrence7:
i did flash the recovery but i wanna know why i cant use the adb cus i get the error flash_image: not found like i mentioned above.
[Desire General] vic.din.ro:
What partition table should i use for Leedroid 2.3d with a2sd+

Hello guys,

I am having a little problem with my htc desire, meaning that since i applied the s-off a while back, all the nand backups i do are wrong. I mean, i can create the backup, i can also restore it, but after i restore it and boot into the rom i get a lot of force close messages and the htc sense wont come up. I have asked leedroid himself about this and he told me that i should apply the partition scheme Bravo Sense.

I want to do that, but before i'll do it, i started reading this thread and someone said at some point that leedroid won't work out of the box if there is any other partitioning scheme than Bravo stock but maybe stuff have changed with the last update.

So my quetion is, do you know if leedroid 2.3d will work on a bravo sense partitioning scheme without trimming it?

Anticipated thanks for the response.
[Desire General] TheGhost1233:
Back when I used Leedroid it was to big to fit the Bravo Sense layout but you can easily find out by checking how big your system.img is in clockworkmod/backup/"your nandroid". If it's bigger than 180mb it won't fit.
[Desire General] vic.din.ro:
Ok. i have checked the backup and you were right. The system partition is 238MB, si i guess it wont fit :D.

In that case, could it also be the problem that i have alpharev recovery image installed on the phone? I think i read somewhere that the alpharev recovery can sometimes have problems restoring backups. Is that posible?
[Desire General] MusiQ1:
How do i know if i'm have s-off?
[Desire General] TheGhost1233:
@vic.din.ro

Don't know, maybe try with rom manager and CWM 2.5.0.7

@MusiQ1

Power your phone on while holding VolDown+POWER, you will see it at the top of the screen. But if you need to ask you are S-on unless you bought it second hand.
[Desire General] MusiQ1:
Cheers. ****, i'm s-on. What is the downside for that? ;-)

I guess I have to put it s-off then.
[Desire General] vic.din.ro:
S-off means you basically get permissions to write stuff to the /system partition. The main reason for this is you can install custom themes which modify system files. This is also called full root ;)
[Desire General] MrDevil:
Make because it couldn't find the flash_image file? did u try other commands to see if it worked? try some thing like this, one at a time:

adb shell
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
[Desire General] 3tybagig:
That is odd. How about using virtual box with Linux and give it a try with the Linux SDK.

Ty.
[Desire General] vic.din.ro:
This worked. You were right.

Is there a problem with the alpharev recovery image, because all the backups i have made with alpharev can't be recovered by it. The only recovery works with all the previous backups made with clockworkmod. On the other hand, clockworkmod worked like a charm with all of them.

Thanks man.
