IPL is 2.21
SPL is 2.21
i tried so many ways to upgrade, can folllowed the step by step tutorials, still can't figure it out
anyways know,s please let me know
thanks
First off, is your Wizard CIDunlocked? Not SIMunlocked.. CIDunlocked... you can NOT flash a custom ROM if your phone hasn't been unlocked.
If not... follow READ READ READ and follow EVERY SINGLE STEP HERE, and DO NOT SKIP ANY STEPS or you WILL brick your device.
how do i know if it's CID unlocked ?, i don't think it is
If you don't know if it is, then chances are it ISNT.. And you are probably dangerously close to killing ur phone.
if your phone is NOT CIDunlocked you CAN NOT upgrade it. Follow the thread I put in my previous post.. follow EVERY STEP.. READ everything... and make sure you understand what you are doing, or else you will end up with a very expensive knick knack.
this link doesn't work
ftp://xda:[email protected]_Novii+CF2.rar
Well, you can always pay 40 dollars to www.imei-check.com to unlock your phone.. you dont have to send it them, they will give you the tool to unlock it... just follow the directions.
so there's nothing i can do right now, cause ftp://xda:[email protected]_Novii+CF2.rar doesn't work
right ?, i don't want to pay $40, just rather do it myself
i tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=271043
but some of the steps i don't understand

If you don't understand the steps, then don't try to flash your phone.
Im with Keg on that one, if you dont understand it, then dont try to update. Wait for your carrier to release an official WM6 rom.. I know cingular plans on releasing a few in July
I didnt understand at first either, so I just paid the 40 bucks.. the 40 dollars was well worth it... rather pay 40 dollars then 300+ for a new phone.
research shelltool. I flashed my G4 2.250001 IPL/SPL with it when it was locked, and it worked fine. I don't remember if 2.21 is okay to use this method, but you need to check it out.
I had to unlock when formatting failed...
Check wizard upgrading, I believe there's a post there.
Good luck.
Thread locked. This has been covered a thousand times in the Wizard upgrading forum and in the wiki. Please read and don't flash before you know what you are doing.
hi guys i know u will say use the search button,but ive done all that and still lost.
i downloaded l26 rom and now do i just install it after ive got the sbl thingy or what has it tto be. its totally different to the exec way.i got a little bit scared when i was reading all about the problems.did it with the exec but the stellar is brandnew and worryed i might bugger it.
cheers in advance
Hi, i have the stellar from O2 as well and have sucessfully flashed many roms, first though you need to use JumpSpl to load HardSpl booter then flash the hardSpl system file which will prevent bricks, this is relative safe. Make sure you have the latest HardSpl for newer roms because some wont flash properly otherwise. I use Duttys new 1.6 rom which is fast and stable. First read the stickies
SSPL and all the techie stuff:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396922
Use v3.56
Guide to kaiser and rom cooking etc
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=369282
Then have fun flashing new roms.
right sooo i download jumpspl to stellar then hardspl,open and job done then i can drop on a rom like doing the exec.sorry for being so bloody thick.lol
wish we could have a thread like...
download this file ++++++++ to device then open then do x,y,z
instead of ...
download this link to here then open this here unplug phonethen plug back in and so it continues.making the instructions easy would i think stop all the worrying and asking from us so called noobs

So are you saying the Wiki is not easy to understand? Nothing about flashing the Kaiser is difficult. If you are having trouble understanding the steps, then I don't think you're ready for a phone such as the Kaiser.
i just get lost with it all iam a thick yorkshireman.i think its just me reading to much into it all.
It takes a good 3 hours or so to get to a point where you understand how to do it, but once you do it once all following flashes are DEAD easy.
The main issue I had was SIM unlocking my Orange TyTNII to get it so I could flash a new radio to it.
Once you have all the tools, it's really quite straightforward.
that is what i mean.its understanding it all,could be good to do a pdf so it can be printed out step by step.

looks like iam not a rom virgin now
right guys i think ive done it i installed the hardspl then loaded up l26 rom.took me all afternoon to get the idea but i think its done.iam sory if ive pissed you off.but it was dong my head in and needed to get my head round it so iam sorry once again.
dont think i was disrepecting anyone when i said anything, i wasnt you guys are very very good at what you do. ooooh l26 diamond splash screen
now a htc logo thats different to the o2 one i had now the tier install.

Reading is fundamental!!I will assume you used attn1's hack kit to root. If you did, I suggest you got back to the OP and read the entire thing. Once done, if you didn't find your remedy, do it again. and then again. If at this point you didn't find what to do, there is no hope.
um do u mean read the advanced hack kit manual i skimmed thogh it it dosent say any thing about this problem can u be more specific

If you would go back to the op of the hack kit thread you will see it says to hit up the IRC for help....
Why is it nobody reads that. O well, go to the IRC And get the help you need.

What possesed you to unplug it while it was flashing critical parts of your phone. Not a good move. You may have bricked it. Especially if it was only half way through the part where it flashes clockwork and sets s-off. If you had fully read and comprehended the manual, instead of skimming it, you would know what you were doing. You really have to read the material available to you on these threads because this is technical stuff your doing and should not be taken lightly. Do you have insurance? I'm sure warranty is out of the question.
I really am tired of people screwing up their phones because they are too lazy to read the original post. This tool comes with a manual that attn1 emphasizes heavily to read as it contains all the information you need BEFORE running his tool. How easier can it be. I'm sorry but if you didn't do your research and ended up screwing it up, all I can say is, lesson learned. (hopefully)

I'll sum up what you probably just skipped over, which tells me you didn't read thoroughly enough to be rooting your phone. The bottom section of the OP is pretty much summed up as, if you need help, here's the IRC chatroom, go there but don't ask stupid question that READING would solve. What you did sounds like something stupid (sorry, I'm not calling you stupid..just the action of unplugging your phone while rooting is stupid..beyond me why you did this but whatever not the point) The guys in the IRC are very good at what they do...and have probably seen it all so they can help. Again, I'm not trying to attack you, it's just information that could have been found by READING. Good luck.
INTRO:
Welcome To My Guide To Get Back To Stock This Is Only for Desire S Phones That Have Benn Used With AlpharevX. If You Use This On Other Phones You May End Up With Bricked Phone.
HOW IT WORKS:
This is a .bat file i made myself. This will change your misc_version and flash the needed hboots automatically. All you need to do is run my file then when your phone reboots back into bootloader just put it into fastboot and run the needed RUU.
HOW TO:
Plug in your phone. Enable usb debugging and click the file to start the process. ( DO NOT RUN AS ADMIN IF U DO IT WONT WORK ). after it is done your phone will now go into bootloader this is normal just run the RUU and it will get you back to stock HTC Rom
WARNING:
I will NOT be held responsible for your device if u break it using my software.
However if you PM me asking nicely for help i will help you. Please refrain from sending me abusive PM's if you do i will report you. not nasty i just follow rules .
REMEMBER:
Please if you have any problems just PM me or add me on gmail [email protected] im always on here 24/7 should you ever need me
While the guide is appreciated, I don't believe there is enough information about which hboot version, ROM versions, which region, S-ON/S-OFF status (unlock method) that you should be on in order to use it. Even if this guide applies to all versions, then its important that you say that so as to ensure people feel as ease when using it.
You must also be careful not to duplicate existing guides, as we now have multiple guides achieving the same thing, which just leads to further confusion and more questions.
Also, on a personal note any chance of not doing the next one in all capitals

okay thanx for the feedback ill update the guide. this is the best and noob friendly guide on here. easy and useful.
I also started to reply a post on what i'm missing, than i saw he is changing much actually, editing his post every few minutes, so i think we'll see more information later, after he has finished his starting post!
@paul.robo
I find it nice that you're starting writing guides although you aren't registered here that long time!
I was reading some guides on that topic before, in nearly everyone there were some things not that clear for me! Hope you'll make it the better way!
So keep on working! Will try that guide after you've finished!
Edit after you've finished now:
So i suggest you to:
Start your threadtitle with [GUIDE], people will easier find that thread
Do optimze the style of your guides, some bold lines, more colors, ... so that people can orientate easier
What the files you are offering are doing exactly? I'm little bit carefully if someone is calling me to use java
Some information about what i'm on after that procedure would be nice!
6 IT WILL NOW SAY YOUR BACK TO S-ON. DONT PANIC.

Will i be S-ON now or not?! I only read that i haven't to panic
List the status i'm on after following this guide
hboot
root
and so on
A full list of needed files at the beginning of the guide would be usefull, for people like me having slow internet connection, it could be annoying to download a needed file which is taking over 1 hour while following your guide
Keep on mate!

error in part 1
Hi , just registered to ask this,
so i've been wondering around the forum for about a week now, my only aim is to have arabic support on my HTC Desire S.
i unlocked it with htcdev. my Hboot is 2.00.0002 with baseband 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_m
so i'm a big noob... as the video say when i register
so when i try to follow the guide it and got to changing the version point, i get this error ..
--set_version set. VERSION will be changed to: 1.27.405.6
Patching and backing up misc partition...
Error opening input file.
the same exact thing happened when i tried downgrading my Hboot

in the part 1 guide don't use it just use these commands and it will work.
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell /data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.27.405.6
when it finishes u need to lock your bootloader to proceed.
fastboot oem lock
after just run the ruu you neeeed and it will get your phone back to stock just remember to flash the eng-hboot or you have a greater chance of a brick
Hello everyone,
I'm am pretty sure there are many guides in rooting your htc phone as well as flashing a custom ROM. I am also pretty sure that there are guides out there that uses BIG words with not enough Lament words, so here is a simple noob friendly guide to basically make your life easier.
1. Download and install HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe from http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/revolutionary
2. Download revolutionary-0.4pre4.zip for windows from http://revolutionary.io
3. Extract it and run revolutionary.exe
4. Connect HTC Sensation to PC and select HTC Sync.
5. revolutionary.exe should detect your HTC Sensation phone and provide your with details about hboot and serial number.
6. select the hboot version and type the serial number into the box and hit enter.
7. It will now try to root phone. Wait and the phone will restart a few times.
8. When it's done, it'll ask to install clockworkmod recovery (cwm). Choose Y for yes or N to refuse. Install recovery based on what the ROM suggests. For ARHD, it suggested EXT4 touch recovery, so press N.
9. Press volume button up or down to navigate and select reboot phone by pressing power button.
10. Download EXT4 touch recovery at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377759 (thanks to Madmaxx82)
11. Read the Read Me to learn how to install EXT4 Touch recovery.
12. Download firmware 3.32 for the related CID and MID. Be sure to check your phone's CID and MID
13. Download Super Wipe at http://xda.androidrevolution.nl/db_...ndroid_Revolution_HD_Super_Wipe_Sensation.zip
14. Download the ROM found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849 (credit to Mike1986)
15. Copy the file PG58IMG.zip to the root of microSD. (root - meaning not in a folder)
16. Copy the super wipe and 6.6.3 ROM zip files to the root of microSD.
17. Power off your phone/ Remove battery from phone
18. Hold volume-down and power button simultaneously to get into bootloader mode.
19. When in Bootloader, it will automatically ask you to update your firmware, press 'yes.'
20. Once the update is complete, immediately take out your battery. (it may sound scary, but it's actually quite safe)
21. Take your MicroSD out and connect it to your pc to remove the PG58IMG.zip and insert it back once completed.
22. Get into boot loader once again (volume down + power button)
23. Now your bootloader screen should read:
-revolutionary-
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.27.1100
RADIO-11.22.3504.07M
24. Select 'recovery' and it will automatically lead you into 4EXT recovery (the one you installed earlier)
25. Install 'superwipe' script.
26. Select 'install from sd card' and look for the Custom ROM you have copied into the root of your Sd card.
27. During the installation you will be asked the following questions:
-Do you have a TMOUS sensation 4g?.
-Do you want to flash the sony bravia engine support?.
-Do you want to flash Stock or Custom Kernel?
-If you picked custom then you will be given a choice between Faux or Sebastian Kernel
-Do you want to flash HQ camera?
Once again this is all your choice, please read up on what each of them does.
28. When the ROM is fully flashed select back
29. Select reboot from 4ext recovery
30. Done, enjoy ICS with Beats Audio, the first boot should take around 5-10 mins
HAVE FUN ROOTING AND FLASHING CUSTOM ROM NOOBS :-D
Just remember, do this at your own risk, I will not take any responsibility for you Bricking your phone***
Good job!

Some feedback to your thread
Hi, i wanted to give some feedback about this.
Regarding the content of your post, you might want to correct some things you've wrote that make the guide not so simply but confusing and inaccurate... sheer constructive criticism.
"Download firmware 3.30 for the related CID and MID.". If you are pretending to guide someone on how to flash any "newly" released ICS ROM you need to download and flash 3.32 firmware, not 3.30.
"This phone MID is modelid: PG5813000 and CID is cidnum: HTC__044. So if new kernel appear in the future, be sure to download from this category only.". You meant your specific phone, right?. Every guy out there has a different phone and more likely a different CID. There is a CID thread just in case you want to check out some of the available CIDs. Also, (and even more confusing) CID and model aren't related in any ways to kernel or firmware, what do you mean with "a new kernel appear in the future"? we have new kernels almost every 2 days from faux, sebastian, show-p and other developers, and what category are you talking about specifically?
In the third point you wrote It will now trying to root phone. Wait and the phone will restart a few times. Revolutionay tool is intended to S-OFF the device, not rooting. Then your guide isn't about how to root the phone as the thread title says ... i think this is the guide noobs are actually looking for.
If you are quoting or using content from others posts the correct thing to do is to give proper credit to the author i.e: Mike1986., authors of revolutionary tool, madmaxx among others.
I'm speaking for myself here and i want to ask you kindly to credit my work in the things you've pretty much copied literally from my thread [GUIDE][APR.16.12] How to flash ICS 3.32 firmware | flash/update ARHD 6.6.x ICS ROM, first post, steps 4 and 5.
I'm reffering to steps 18 to 37 in your guide which are 99% the exact same words i've wrote in my guide. I've spent some time and effort writing that guide, While i don't see why you wanna re-write my guide If you want to use my work it's ok, i don't mind, but please at least give proper credit and don't go around saying is your guide and your work when 50% of it's copy-pasted from my thread.
Also i've taken down the download link of 4EXT recovery touch flashing tool (steps 11 and 12 in your post) which i've modded and packed myself and it's also posted in my guide, if you want the dropbox download link i can give it to you, but again, proper credit.
You've open a thread in Android development section, and this is clearly not a development thread. Pleas ask a mod to move your thread to the correct section. Nevermind, thread has been moved already. Thanks to the mods.
Thanks
Couldn't agree more, it's not that we don't appreciate the effort but there are enough guides on this forum and all the info is there for grabs, you just have to find it. There's no need to create new guides because people don't use the search button.
Hello everyone.. Not that i wanted to copy any of your work and take credit for it, as i have never seen your guide.. I am sorry if i have offended you in any way.. I practically just wrote down what my friend told me over the phone, as he was explaining to me the proper way to root as well as put in a custom ROM on my sensation. I did not in any way meant or did not know that i was copying anybody's work. As far as i know, i only wrote this guide to help beginners, as i was once one. The only guide i have read was mike's guide on the front page of the ARHD thread, which at first i did not really understand. Another thing, it's not that i didnt want to give mike credit and take all the credit for my own, as you can see i am using's Mike's ARHD banner as well as i have given links to his thread. As for your guide, i will rephrase everything if it makes you feel better cheers mate~ The most important thing for me is to expand the sensation community.

Brother, if there is enough guides on this forum, why do new beginners always ask the same questions? ..well let me tell you my experience, understand certain guides is a bit difficult as they contain words not familiar to beginners. Once again, i made this guide so i wouldnt have to refer to anyone else's guide if someone else needed my assistance/help. cheers mate~
Would like to once again apologize for my premature posting of this thread. I should have asked my friend what his sources were. Thanks again all for the heads up

Well there is no absolute need, but then again he is free to do as he pleases.
If he (or ANYONE for that matter) is simply trying to help the noobs that come on here every day asking, "How i root plzzz help thx", then I am all for it.
But I don't think anyone should be denied the right to create these sorts of guides. Plus, the poorer written ones eventually die anyway, its the way a forum works.

Sometimes it's just sheer laziness. Other times they may not understand other guides or just need reassurance.
Either way, I appreciate you taking the time to create this.
Like i said, offcourse we appreciate the effort! What i'm trying to say is that people need to use the search function more. There are enough guides, If you don't understand something in the guide than ask it in the thread, no need to make a new thread about it.
Also, my experience is that If you use the search function enough, you will learn a lot about your phone and the ways to modify it. With that knowledge you can help other people. It's a vicious circle ;-)

Simple way... just use hasoon2000's all in one toolkit from dev section
Im lost
OK guys, I have never rooted a phone but decided today to give it a try, why.. first cause I dont wish to wait till June for ICS and second becuase I saw this simple looking step-by step guide......so I thought simple.
First off I am PC savy but NOT at all cell phone hacking savy. All of this jargun you all use CID, MID, RUU, 4EXT means nothing to me and I have gotten lost.
I started with the instruction on this thread but then got the bright idea of seeing if there were some youtube step-by-steps how to's and there were. But the two videos I watched must have been older cause they had one major step differnt.
They say to type Y to Install recovery mod after S OFF, and I did. so now the next steps in the video dont work and I have veired off track what you all say to do.... I'm scared and lost.
I'm a realtor and my phone is my money maker, I can't brick it.
Someone help please.

Bro, i understand what you're saying.. haha trust me.. My only advice to you is.. If i were you and my phone was of great importance. Don't root your device.. Even if the process is quite easy and most of the time people don't brick their devices, there is still a small percentage.. The best thing you could do is update to ICS via official HTC release, which if i am not mistaken, has already been done in many countries. Cheers mate.

Ok pal paste us a link to the video you followed. Now, does your phone still start up properly? If so then this should be easy. Power off the device fully. Remove the battery for around 20 seconds or so then reinsert. While holding down volume down also hold power until the device boots to bootloader. (Bootloader is equal to BIOS for a PC). It will give you some information. Post that Info up here. If it says s-off then using the volume buttons scroll down to recovery and push power. If you see a red triangle and/or exclamation mark then you have a stock recovery. If it says clockwork mod recovery then you are s-off with a custom recovery and all seemingly has went well
Also Cid stands for carrier identification and is used for carrier information and software I think. Mid is used to reference the country/ area you are in, for software as well as networks. They are both used together. Ruu stands for rom utility update and is a HTC program for updating HTC phone software and ext4 is a custom recovery that uses an exit4 partition on the sdcard I believe

oppps. XD guess i didnt answer your questions properly..sorry i misread.. The first thing we need to know is whether or not your phone can start up and does not just blank out when you turn it on.
Hey guys, thank you for the quick replies. Yes thank goodness it does power up.
ok here is the youtube video i followed, opps.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvg0i8in96M
All I got was to turn the phone to s-off but not rooted.
So yes the phone functions, but not my voicemails. It now say
"This phone was associated with a different account. Do you want to delete the exsisting voicemails?"
So I would like to proceed with the upgrade to ICS, unless becuase I am SUCH a noob you all think I should just some how revert back to S-on and leave my phone alone?
I just read here all the time, you should root, its SOOO easy... and it not if you are a noob..
Thank you all for your time, and I love this site.

i cant see it being an issue bud firstly, i am yet to own this device (but soon! roll on payday ^^) so i can only take you as far as rooting and custom recoverys, but for ics updates youd best ask others go to this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 and follow steps 2 through to 4 and then you will have a custom recovery, full root and supercid ^^ after that if you want to try an ice cream sandwich rom look
at the dev thread here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1112&order=desc&page=2 always double check that you understand what your about to do before you do it, and all threads *should* have full instructions on how to flash them. remember that installing a custom rom will WIPE ALL YOUR DATA so remember to do a nandroid back up from your recovery good luck pal and enjoy
OK guys, well I did not chicken out. I followed the video once again, but this time used my original stock SD card and everything worked. I am rooted! so now to the next steps...
wish me luck.
