NO NO NO NO NO NO NO.
If you have spent some times to read singapore ROM update thread, you should know. Pls take some times to read.
thanks.
let me know if you find one.

I think it's the perfect spl matter, i guess someone is still able to unlock it (eg: using goldcard or whatever method)...
has anyone try it?

maybe this will work, but try at you own risk...
copy the eng spl update.zip to sdcard,
go into original rom recovery mode (press home+power 2 time), you will have the option to run update.zip
if hboot update success, congratulation... and share with us!

First follow below link to root the phone:
http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/29/how...-in-one-click/
Then start phone recovery mode and update the SPL to ENG SPL 1.33. 2005 from below link:

This won't work as far i was reading , you need a newer SPL than the current installed. If I'm informed right at the moment there is no way to get rid of the perfected SPL which came with the official Sense upgrades.

We are away from the customised ROM and quite a while not to bark the ROM devs this and that

it is a normal zip format , it should be some one know how to modify.

Sometimes i wonder whether ROM dev asked HTC to put so-called perfect SPL.
So that stupid and curious people like us happily flashed the update and stuck here.
So that we cannot disturb the devs who made customised ROM since we cannot flash any other ROM.(except new RUU update for other countries)
just kidding.
hope somebody can help us.

How to install Radio 6.35.07.29?

How do I flash radio and recovery throught fast boot?
- I put radio.img into the SD card.
-Off off my device.
-VOL DOWN+POWER into fastboot mode
-Then what do I do?
I have rooted my HTC Magic few month ago, however, I never dealt with updating radio before. So what should I do next?
Thanks

Move radio.img from your sdcard and into a folder where adb can access it.
Move to your tools folder.
Code:
fastboot flash radio radio.img

When the mobile is powered down you go to the general section and ask since this is the development section. But before you post yet another question you use the search since you'll find the answer to this several places already!

radio 6.35.07.29 is only for new spl from official sens ui rom.

PLEASE BE CAREFUL!
You don't really sound like you know what you're doing here...
You could turn your phone into an expensive paperweight if you're not careful.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=589722
Do not flash the 6.35.07.29 radio until you know absolutely what you are doing.

You need to flash the Sapphire H recovery.img through fastboot.
The Hero recovery you've flashed is causing issues. It only works when the 6.35.07.29 radio is running.

If you were stubborn like I am, you'd try again. I know it works.
But I understand if you want to play it safe.

I finally semi-bricked my phone! Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Well I don't know what I was thinking, but I flashed a My Touch radio (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=640535) on my 32a Magic. Now I can't get past the Rogers logo. I've read that if I boot my phone while pressing home+power after entering 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img', that I will be able to get back into the recovery image and fastboot screen. Now the question I have is what recovery image should I use? The My Touch one, or the 32a Magic one?
Any other ideas would be appreciated.

use the recovery that corresponds with the radio you flashed (mytouch in this case) - should work fine.

The 32A recovery works on the MyTouch LE (Fender Edition) phones.
What is the exact radio/SPL version on your phone?

You have no idea how many times I hear myself think the very same thing... But I wouldn't have learned that the Hero SPL 1.76.2007 works on the 32A Magic unless I was a little reckless.

Why dont you boot into fastboot (back and power) and do the following:
Download the 3.22.20.17, 1.33.2010 SPL and 32a recovery
Radio: http://briancrook.ca/magic/3.22/Radio_HTC_PVT_32A_3.22.20.17.img
SPL: http://briancrook.ca/magic/3.22/hboot-1.33.2010.img
Recovery: http://briancrook.ca/magic/3.22/recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2H-pink.img
Code:
fastboot flash radio Radio_HTC_PVT_32A_3.22.20.17.img
fastboot flash hboot hboot-1.33.2010.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2H-pink.img
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot reboot-bootloader
This will wipe the entire system partition but won't touch your /data. You will reboot into fastboot after the last command. Make sure you have the 3.xx radio and SPL. Reboot into recovery.
Hope this works.

This may be a bit off topic, but you can test recovery without installing.

Thought this was cool when I came across it a few days ago. (wanted to see what these carebears were about....

if u can reach fastboot y not flash ->
32A new radio or old radio + new radio or old spl

Well, I like to test things out, and if I'm trying to troubleshoot what recovery works with a new radio, this would be how. The OP was asking which recovery works with his radio, just giving him tools to figure it out.

hero recovery works with new radio 32A magic
but 1.5.3.1 not 1.6.something

Since you haven't yet said.. Can you access fastboot?
If not, can fastboot or adb find your phone when your stuck on the Rogers splash?

use gold card while fastboot -> and go to original sense rom -> think this as last option

Will the gold card method work if I can't get into fastboot?

i think, from past reading on here... your on the right track...
u need to have the phone powered off... plug in the usb cable to the phone and computer.
then try these commands
Code:
fastboot kill server
fastboot boot <your.32b.recoveryimage.img>
you should then hopefully see
<waiting for device>
then try powering up your phone... and if it boots...
flash your radio.. spl ... rom etc...
hope this works for you

[Q] How to root Desire S, S-OFF, hboot 2.00.0002, android 4.0.4

Hello people. Just one question. I searched on google and here on xda how to do it but still Im not sure how to do it. I have HTC Desire S, S-OFF with 2.00.002 hboot version and 4.0.4. android version. How do I permanetly root? The official 4.0.4 is kinda laggy, at least for me. I tried few methods but still nothing.. And, I found few methods like for 0.98 hboot or 2.3.5. android but my phone isnt that so Im not sure will it work. Thanks im advance

Is your bootloader unlocked? If so then flash a custom recovery and flash a custom ROM, they all tend to be pre-rooted.
Sent from my Desire S using xda app-developers app

You're already S-OFF so you don't need to worry about most steps in guides.
I assume you have a custom recovery? You can just flash one of the superuser/superSU zip packages. (Desire S uses ARM).
You may also need to flash busybox.

My good gentlemen,
he says the phone is s off already

If you want to ROOT your phone (my case: Desire S , Mfc date: 2011-July ). This is the procedures i learned from China Android forums, at least it works on Me.!!
Make Sure your Hboot is 2.00.0002
Prepare 2 files first: Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip and su-bin-3.0.3.2-efghi-signed.zip
(you should find those on the internet)
First:
Recovery --> install Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip from SDcard, and Reboot;
Second:
Recovery --> Install su-bin-3.0.3.2-efghi-signed.zip from SDcard Again and Reboot.
Usually, your phone should be Rooted.!!
Have Fun

Thanks for answers Well, the only thing I wanna do is flash a custom rom, and I dont know do I need rooted device for that? If I dont, what do I need? And, how can I check is my bootloader unlocked? And, where can I find a custom recovery? Can anyone link me please? Thanks ^^
I learned few things on my old Desire but this seems little complicated If isnt a probem, can anyone give me a step by step guide what I have to do to start flashing custom roms or something? I'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance

Reboot to bootloader and check the first and second lines of text there...
first states < unlocked > if it was unlocked
second at the end: s-off.... or s- on
If your device realy was: s- off,
then your bootloader does not perform check of a signature,
so, in human language means: you may flash anything you want
custom recovery: clockworkmod or 4ext,
you may find in index thread for desire s...
here is the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1146601
there you can find tutorials about flashing, rooting etc, etc...all you`ll need
here is another link to the help thread, where you may ask questions if you
stumbled somewhere, along the way
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2143855
one more thing: when choosing roms, you should only flash roms for your device
htc desire s ( that`ll save you headaches )

Erm.. Just checked and it says bootloader is locked :/ It is S-OFF but locked. How can I unlock it? On HTCdev or? Thanks

I`ve never had stock s-off device ( always had to do it myself )
but if you phone was never rooted before and its security flag is set to s- off,
then i think its bootloader will never check manufacturer`s signature
Try this:
download from the market or from 4ext thread (index thread )
< 4ext recovery updater > and from within that application,
try to install recovery ( you`ll need it anyway )
if that`ll turn out to be succesful, then your phone is ready for the ride...
Go to the thread from the second link ( help thread )
and ask there whether device that is s- off, needs its bootloader to be unlocked
in order to be ready to flash custom roms...
To unlock bootloader you may try comand ( not sure if that would work for you )
fastboot oem unlock
issued to you phone through comand prompt ...
Prior to this action you should set up ADB on your pc,
and of course install the drivers for your device...

Says this what I attached. What now?

chorba69 said:

Ok then...
you have to flash recovery via fastboot
1. download and set up adb and drivers for you phone ( and install them )
2. download recovery ( clockworkmod or 4ext )
3.extract < recovery_xxxyyy.img > from the zip file- if you downloaded it zipped...
4.rename file to < recovery.img > and place it in the folder
where you`ve placed ADB
5.open command prompt and issue command:
cd c:\name of the folder with ADB [ enter ]
6. reboot your phone to bootloader and wire it to you pc
7. issue command:
fastboot devices
if your device has been recognised( list of devices attached xxxyyy05321...)
you`ll see your phone`s ID
8. issue command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
9. reboot bootloader, and from its option choose recovery
10. from recovery you may flash < superuser.zip >
if you just want your current rom rooted
or via recovery you may flash custom rom...

Alright mate thanks a lot. Im gonna try that as soon as I come home. Just one thing more, any chance of bricking my device? While doing that.

To be honest, when fiddling with phone`s system, bootloader etc..
however small- there is always a chance that you may manage to brick it,
but i`ve been followiing the above mentioned procedures- and many others before me,
many times, and it was always working without a problem,
it was tested and shared, first by the great ones among us,
so one may call them safe to perform,
but you should always remember to be careful,
and better read or ask twice, before doing something you do not fully understand

Ok just to make sure Im doing everything alright.
First, nothing to do with bootloader? Unlock or something?
Next, I create new folder on my pc on C partiton (because of cmd prompt you've said?), download adb and phone drivers and place them in the folder. Then install the drivers. Afterwards, download recovery and place it in the folder with adb and phone drivers and rename to recovery.img. Next, I reboot phone in bootloader and flash recovery. Then I have to reboot in bootloader again, how to? Phone will turn off so I can reboot in bootloader or what? Then I go in recovery, flash superuser.zip for rooted phone and afterwards flash custom rom. Thats it?

In bootloader, there is an option to reboot it,
While in fastboot usb mode, bootloader is the first option,
go into it (power button )....
There you can also find < recovery > option....

@chorba69
Go here and find the zip download link (here), extract to same folder as fastboot/adb (and optionally md5 check).
Reboot your phone into Fastboot (reboot to bootloader and if there is an option "fastboot", choose it, else you're already there)
Connect by USB (see the "+files" in my signature if you need windows drivers so your computer understands it's an android phone)
Open a command prompt window (hold shift, right click in the folder, open command prompt..)
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Wait for flash, if you see a message like "waiting for device", your phone isn't connected, you're on the wrong screen on your phone or your computer doesn't have the drivers installed.
Reboot back into bootloader
vol up/down, power button to choose Recovery
You now have a custom recovery (and you're viewing it), now you just have to select your zip from sdcard to flash it (this time the zip is the superuser/whatever).
Backups save phone's lives!
I'm curious about the first line of your hboot (after locked/unlocked/relocked)? e.g. mine is "SAGA PVT ENG S-OFF", if yours says "SAGA PVT SHIP S-OFF" then you're "radio s-off" and can do things like change your phones CID (let it use any network). If it's ENG S-OFF and not pre owned, then you're very lucky indeed (and some people might want more info about/a copy of your hboot)!

Paulie, I attached the image as you can see. Says it's PVT SHIP S-OFF. Do I need to do something before flashing recovery and superuser/rom etc? Or it's not important? Whats the difference anyways between PVT and ENG? And thanks ^^

Mhm. Just tried to flash recovery but recieved this message (attached). Im on FASTBOOT USB screen on phone and in the right directory on pc. Do I need to set up adb or something? Or what do I have to do now?

PVT is expected there, SHIP seems to mean "this version is for general release" whereas "ENG" signifies that it is an ENGineering version.

I'm surprised you got this error. S-OFF should've meant you had no problem. Instead, you can try using the PG88IMG.zip method. Place the file in the root directory of your phone's SD card, reboot to bootloader and it should detect it and ask you if you want to apply the update.
Remember to delete/rename/move this zip file after it's done, as you'll not be able to use your bootloader normally whilst it is detected.
If you still get another error message, let us know!
Please be careful with the file below.

Hmm. So after I put that file on SD card, I have to flash it or flash the recovery.img? Or just when I put it and enter bootloader it will automatically start flashing the recovery?

[Q] htc one s will do (almost) nothing

Hi There,
My one S will only start up in CWM. I would like to try and put another ROMon it, but i keep losing my sdcard.
I tried to mount it again, but on my mac i don't succeed with it. My knowledge of adb/fastboot is a bit low (i bought this phone with CM11, but wifi wasn't working properly, so i updated it. Then it wasn;t working at all.
So i kind off got rit of CM11 (not my purpose, but it happened).
Now i'm stuck with a none working phone.
Anyone in the area of Utrecht, the Netherlands who can help me out?
Is much apreciated (i work in a bar, so with beer i can repay )
hope to hear from anyone.
ciao
kalle

To answer both. I would like to get twrp on it, but the only ways i can find to change the recovery is trhough goo manager or apps you can put on your phone (which isn't working)
I think the first part would be getting the sdcard to be more stable (format the damn thing)
Sorry, i think it's a ville. I will try and get the CID this weekend. including the rest of the info (don't have the device with me (@work) But to fastboot/adb the device i hope the sdcard will work properly...
Will edit this message this weekend.

To flash the recovery you dont need the sd card to work. You can do this by using fastboot commands.
At first you have to make sure that your Computer has the HTC-Driver installed and got a working adb/fastboot directory. If you dont know how to make this work, simply search this Forum there are plenty of good guides.
After you got this working, simply copy the latest twrp.zip to your adb folder. Boot your phone into fastboot mode. Open the command prompt from your adb folder and type in: "fastboot flash recovery recovery.zip".
After this is done you should be able to access twrp recovery.

if you don't tell me whats you cid and if you have a ville o villec2 i can't help you, because you can brick your phone

Finnaly i have time to answer some question and give a update (very busy weekend on this siode )
cid: VODAP102
hboot: 2.15.0000
S-on
i've managed to flash the recovery (twrp 2.8.6.5)
Pushed the latest CM12-1, through twrp i installed it, wipped the dalvik/cache, but then nothing happens...
It seems that i'm stuck in een boot sequence to end up in twrp again..
am going to try to get s-off and then push the rom again...keep you posted

if you're s-on you need to flash the boot.img via fastboot, but if s-off not, maybe this is your problem.

This was the one i needed. Thanks for giving me directions.
After extracting the boot.img from the cm zip, it was a few minutes and up and running
Installing gapps and the phone is ready for use. (my daughter will be delighted)
Thanks for your help (all of you above...)
