[ROM][32A] Stock HTC 3.05.401.3 Rooted [01-21-2010]

Stock HTC 3.05.401.3 Rooted
No changes except:
- root, ro.secure=0
- adb enabled through boot process
- Superuser.apk
Requires HTC 6.35.07.29 or higher radio and 1.76.2007 SPL.
I offer limited support on this ROM image because all I did was a simple R&R (root and repack).
This ROM offers only language support for the countries that it was meant to be distributed to by HTC. This means no Chinese, Viatnamese, US English (it has other English settings).
Enjoy!

What version is vanilla, m8?

This is the European version of the 3.03 ROM, meaning its 1.5 with SenseUI

Completely stock, plain, that's what Vanilla means.

Thank you cursordroid . It's exactly what I was looking for.
I assume the install procedure is the same with the one for CursorSense32A ?

I am using this ROM and today I could not make a phone call right after received call. I needed to restart the phone.
Did you fix some issues as your 1.1.1 ROM?

One again, I got trouble of update this zip file (keep the same name of file and change to update.zip file)
After chose the flash zip file option, my HTC reset immediately and get stuck at boot screen. After that the Recovery mode reset after few seconds everytime I access.
I tried to re flash the recovery img but still the same.
Note: I used the recovery to flash other zip file like Amon 1.6.3 Donut and Hero of AHMGSK. It updated well.

you need the HERO recovery!!! Read people READ! Its in the first post of the upgrade thread!

You need to use a Hero revocery, not Sapphire.

Thank you, I think that Magic need to use Magic recovery. And also the Magic recovery can update other zip file like Amon 1.6..
I replaced by Hero recovery and it is working now.

One more request!
NICE WORK! This is the best ROM I ever used. The only thing we need to be done here is busybox. Can You do this for us? (preferably by update withour wipe) PLEASE! PLEASE!
(edit) In fact there is busybox. I though it is not because after using Market Enabler I wasn['t able to see "PapaStacker" paid app. But there are some of paid apps and some not. And the same is with newest CursorSense. (which in fact is slower then stock ROM so I['m reverting to stock).

So far the best rom for 32A. I am using it from yesterday, and didn't see any bugs. Everything works extremely fast and stable. I forgot what force close is .
Thank You Cursordroid.

Cursordroid, add busybox please. Thx fot yor great roms.

Where it's written in the first post that I need Hero recovery? I can't use RA-sapphire-v1.5.2?

HBOOT compatibility

Hello!
I am pretty new in the Android Custom ROM area so that's why I need some help with informations.
I am the proud owner of a Desire S, that I have installed a custom rom (Virtuous something) some time ago. Not me, a friend. Now I want to try some new roms that have Sense 4. But i have a problem, i don't know if a rom is compatible with my HBOOT (which is 2.00.0002). I would like to install SenseMOD FlashOne but i can't see anything regarding my HBOOT.
So firstly, is it compatible?
And secondly, what would happen if the HBOOT is not compatible and I would flash the ROM? Will it turn into a HTC Brick?
And if it's not compatible, what ROM would you recomand that has Sense 4 and working WiFi, camera, etc ?

Virtuous something http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1590718 is a full sence 4.0 ROM

I noticed that ROM, but it dosen't say anything about hboot required. I have a different version of Virtuous than that, mine has android 4.0.3 and sense 3.6
I see that you have the same hboot as mine, can you tell me what rom do you have?

Your hboot is compatible with all custom roms. Just remember to flash the boot.img from the rom in fastboot.

I'd personally recommend fallout, see link on my signature

If you're phone is s-off and you have a custom recovery installed (4ext, Cwm or similar) all you have to do to install a new rom is,
1. put the rom (zip file) on the sd card
2. boot into recovery
3. backup your current Rom
4. do a full wipe (format all except sd card if you're using 4ext), sometimes it works just wiping cache and dalvik cache, if updating from an earlier version of the same rom (read the op)
5. Flash rom
Edit: flash gapps, if not included in Rom (most cm/aosp based roms)
6. Reboot

Sometimes developers says when it needs to upgrade hboot in description, so if you keep watching on updates, it's hard to miss it) and as a secret of a succes to upgrade everything) but sometimes its hard, for example, BND can fix smth every day, and it's really annoying)

Need info on new Hboot for Android 4.0+ ROMs - I forgot and am lost!

Hello everyone
I rooted my girlfriend's Desire S, flashed 4EXT recovery and she used MIUI for about half a year. Then, a new Hboot came out, and it was required for Android 4.0+ ROMs to boot. She was tired of being stuck on MIUI GB, and MIUI ICS required the new hboot to run, so I flashed it.
Then, a few weeks after, we had to take the phone into service for some faulty hardware components (speaker & buttons issues) so I reverted everything to stock Android 2.3.3 (or 2.3.5), including the old, S-ON bootloader and stock recovery.
Now... I need to start again, since this Android 2.3.3 / 2.3.5 she has on her phone is acting up like hell. I want to flash a ROM that is Android 4.1 with Sense, or CM10.1... I don't know. Anyway, thing is I probably am going to need to flash the new hboot. I FORGOT how I did it back then, and I can't seem to find the tutorial again
So... I need your assistance. I did search the forums, but I think I failed miserably. The info is definetly out there. Call me a retard...
I probably need to S-OFF the current bootloader, then flash the new hboot & S-OFF that one, in order to be able to flash a recovery and custom ROM finally. Can you help me, please?
Thanks in advance!

Most roms don't need any newer hboot version; miui v4, ice cream saga and desire xs are the only ones I can think of that do.
There are no roms for desire s with jelly bean and sense, but if you go for cm (any version) it will work on any hboot.

Ah, I see.
I will probably end up flashing something like MIUIv4, if you say it doesn't require the new hboot. Or CM / SlimBean. Sense is probably gonna be slow.

Can you direct me to a topic where this new hboot + installation process is described? Please.
Sent from hyperspace

First, you need to s-off the phone, see guides in the general section for how to downgrade hboot, then use revolutionary.
After that, you can install the new hboot from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1679338
The phone will then stay s-off and be compatible with any rom.

Once on a S-OFF device you can flash to any hboot version by using dd (via adb). The relevant block is mmcblk0p18. I'd suggest flashing the ENG version 2.00.2002, rather than the revolutionary ones.
Remember to mount SD card
Code:
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/[COLOR="Red"]hboot.img[/COLOR] of=/dev/block/[COLOR="Red"]mmcblk0p18[/COLOR]
Code:

download (extract for the img file, then put in root of SD card, make sure SD card is mounted for ADB)
After flashing you should re-format all before proceeding further.

Working with dd on firmware components without cheching checksums can result in a HARDBRICK!

Better would be S-Off, but yes, you should be able to flash a rom with this.
But don't forget to flash boot.img from your rom with fastboot, every time you flash a new rom.

Don't mix it with official updates from HTC!
A (custom) rom is made not by HTC, this you can use.
A update by HTC don't have a rom.zip inside.
A RUU has a rom inside, but this is cid related.
So better clarify, what you are searching or what you want to do!

If yes, which method ? facepalm or moonshine ?
I Apologize, This was my last Q today ?
Bye.

Your phone must have android running, then you can try rumrunner.us
Facepalm or moonshine are for previous software versions.
But as it seems, the side is down at the moment.

Hi,
I used rumrunner.us and now my device is S-OFF. Therefore I must be able to flash other roms after changing my cid and hboot version. Is it right ?
And another question is,
I've flashed Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip and superuser.apk has been installed but those programs that want to get root access, can't do this like Root Explorer, and in RootValidator as you can see in the picture below, shows "Root was denied to this app!", and from ADB I can to get root access, but why programs don't have any root access ?
Thanks.

Depends on, if we are talking about official HTC roms/updates or custom roms. For custom roms you usually don't need to change CID.

You should use SuperSu, because i'm not sure that Superuser is still in development (especially for newer Android versions).
Grab the zip file here and flash in recovery (should also remove Superuser you have already flashed).

[Q] Sensation Bootscreen hang on -any- 4.4 Rom

Got a wierd problem...
Actually Carbon 4.3 Rom installed - works so far
I'm also not a newbie and also linux user
All kind of geeky-stuff already done jailbreaked iPad2/ATV2
or custom Roms on GalaxyTab2, Nexus, HTC Desire, HTC Sensation
But if i try to update ANY rom based on 4.4 the Sensation hangs in bootsplash after flashing.
Did everthing usual, wipe/format partitions/clean caches even repartioning sdcard.
Googling hours after this problem in english/german forums but nothing useful.
Clockwork/TWRP/4EXT Recovery tried - actually 4EXT is installed and my favorite
Could it be a problem with HBoot 1.27 ENG S-OFF?
I had to install these former to change the bootsplash picture - with any newer it didn't work.

besides that he has mentioned that he has 1.27 hboot version

Yes, as i said:
latest 4ext 1.0.0.6 RC2 & hboot 1.27 ENG S-Off
4.3 Roms working, only any 4.4 ROM stuck after flashing rom and/or gapps in splash screen

so perhaps thats the problem with 1.27 ENG
