Brief: Back up All - Contacts & Data (Remove Sim Card)
[Unlock Phone] [Install and 'z4root.1.3.0.apk' 955.48kb to root phone] [Install 'Rom Manager' Android Market][Install 'Superuser' Android Market]
Note: Buttons for other model phones may be different for 'fastboot' and 'recovery mode' (search model with these names to get buttons)
Download Gingerbread 2.3.3 SwiftDroid_v1.8_recovery 95.2Mb
Ok extract the above file to your Pc/Laptop
Now take the 'update.zip' file from extracted folder and copy it to the root of your phones 'SD card'
Now put your phone into fastboot mode
1. Take out 'Battery'
2. Put in 'Battery'
3. Hold in 'Camera button' and press 'Power-on'
4. Keep camera button pressed until 'logo' disappears and it shows a 'blank screen'
5. Make sure phone is plugged into USB
Now open where you extracted folder the above archive (Gingerbread 2.3.3 SwiftDroid_v1.8_recovery 95.2Mb)
1. Open 'CMD' within folder
2. Type 'flash_recovery.bat' to run
What this does is flash cyanogenmod recovery to your phone
which is a great tool for updating firmwares and restoring from bricks
Now we will put the phone into 'recovery mode'
1. Take out 'Battery'
2. Put in 'Battery'
3. Hold down 'Home button' and press 'Power-on'
4. Keep holding down the 'Home button' until the cyanogenmod recovery menu pops up (it takes a while.)
Now to install the 2.3 rom
1. Press the 'volume' down until 'install zip from sdcard' is selected
2. Then press the 'camera button'
3. Then press the 'camera button' on 'apply /sdcard/update.zip'
4. Then Press the 'volume' up and choose 'yes' and press the 'camera button'
Now this part will take a while (around 5-10mins)
it will say flash complete! when finished and will return to menu once done.
Menu will come back up...
Hit your 'Back button' and select 'reboot system now'
Tips..
When it loads it will ask you to slide the keyboard( lol what keyboard) the workaround this is to exit out of that part and sign in with ur google login in the market this will activate all the google apps and give you options to download gmail etc

Hi all,
received my desire s today so im entirely new to modding it (but not new to flashing other devices)
is there a simple way or can someone explain step by step how to put a custom ROM on it safely?
I've heard of something called XTC clip but i dont want to buy it just to put a custom rom on the desire.
all help is appreciated, thanks
Well, the XTC Clip is to make your device S-OFF, that will allow you to root your phone so you can flash a custom rom
Still i using Stock Rom and never had problems with it

S-OFF?
charrsss
Yeah, if you turn on your phone pressing volume down you can enter the hboot and see if your phone is S-OFF, or S-ON...
If its S-OFF you can root your phone.. if not you cant
I dont know much about this neither
PLEASE PUT QUESTIONS IN THE GENERAL FORUM !!!!!!!
Steps to flash -
1) S-OFF
2) Root
3) Install ROM Manager and Flash ClockWorkMod Recovery.
4) Put ROM into your SD card. Boot into recovery and wipe data. Then Flash the ROM
You can find details in other threads
Step 1: Go to Setting -> Power to disable fastboot.
Step 2: Power down your device. Press and hold Volume down button first and then press the power button. Hold both buttons for 10 secs and release them. You will get to see the phone info. Check Hboot version and S-on/S-off status.
If your Hboot is 0.98 and S-on, you may proceed as below.
Step 3: Get the software from alpharev and get a copy of the ROM (I am using Virtuous unity 1.27). When you got the Virtuous Unity rom, copy it into your SDcard.
Step 4: Get a copy of Linux: You can get Ubuntu.
Step 5: Unzip the alpharevx into the root directory.
Step 6: Open Terminal. Go to the directory that you keep your alpharevx apps. Execute command: sudo ./alpharevx to activate the program. You will be prompted to key in your password for your Ubuntu.
Step 7: Connect your data cable. Select "disk drive" and the screen will start to react to your connection. Copy the number generated by alpharevx.
Step 8: Visit alpharev.nl/x/beta/ again and click download again. Key in the serial number gotten from the program and fill up the form. Once it done, a serial number will be generated. Copy the serial number and key it to the alpharevx program. Once it is done, power down the phone and repeat Step 2.
Step 9: Once you have verified the status of your phone, do not exit. Press Volume down button once to select "recovery" and press power button.
Press Volume down button to select "wipe data/factory reset".
Press Volume down button to select "Yes"
Press Volume down button to select "wipe cache partition"
Press Volume down button to select "Yes"
Press Volume down button to select "advance"
Press Volume down button to select "Wipe Dalvik Cache"
Press Volume down button to select "Yes"
Press Volume down button to select "Wipe Battery Stats" (if any)
Press Volume down button to select "Yes"
Press Volume down button to select "back"
Press Volume down button to select "install zip from sdcard"
Press Volume down button to select "choose zip from sdcard"
Select the rom.
Once the Rom installation is done, reboot the phone.
I found that it takes some time for the phone to be set up. Just be patient.
All the best!!!
Virtuous unity 1.27 has superuser, rom manager, task manager, overclocking and many other goodies.
Just need to
1) S-off
2) wipe to prepare phone
3) install the ROM.
I am one happy user and first time ROM flasher and user of virtuous unity 1.27

I thought you could only flash ROMs on S-OFF phones? is there am method to now do it if the phone is still S-ON or was that a typo?
EDIT: Checked around a bit and found this

@ verifunny
Manymany thanks!! using your guide and another I found stickied about alpharevx I am completely unlocked to S-OFF and now have virtuous installed
many thanks to all others also for their replies.
@ ben, you are welcome. The credits goes to those developers.
For my comment after step 2, it is written so that you are seeing what you should and the alpharexv does not support anything other than 0.98.0000. I think there is a hboot that is of a higher version.
Enjoy your new installation. I am very happy with it.
