[Q] Desire or Desire S to have ROOT ? - HTC Desire S

Hi everyone !
I have a big problem :
I had an HTC DESIRE and it was very fun to install a lot of ROM and I liked it but my phone has been stole and now I have an HTC DESIRE S.
It's a great phone but it's S-ON and I miss my ROM !!!
So here I am, I can take my dad's DESIRE and give him my DESIRE S but if I do it, maybe I will have some regrets if HTC or the devs unlock the bootloader...
What do you think about my situation ?

we all can't look in the future if htc will open bootloader and for which phones they will open it
we can't help you about your situation
anyway the desire s doesn't has much devs yet so if you are about custom roms the desire is better for you

Yeah, I'm thinking the same.. thank you for your anwser !

I would keep the S no matter of root or not. Better gpu

Converting a Desire HD Rom????

How easy is it to convert a rom from Desire HD to Desire s?
The reason I say so, my brother (owner of DHD) uses this rom :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056727
which is probably the best rom I have ever seen, its by LeeDroid, whats the chance of it coming to Desire S?????
Reading and comparing all about the desire HD, it doesnt differ much....
We have a leedroid port in the dev area.

I tried it... But i soft bricked my DS. Luckily with RUU (in fastboot menu in bootloader) i could make my device useable again... Please leave it to people who have the knowledge about it. Most of the devs i know have studied several code languages like java and C.

You don't really need to know java and C++ to port a ROM....Assuming it's from Device A to Device B, and they're related. It's easy to port the ROM when it's from the same series/generation and have same hardware.

The desire s is a pretty new device, it was shipped with Android 2.3.3.
If you got an older Android version it can't be a desire s.
But to be sure is there a button at the bottom of the screen or are there only softkeys?
Or just go to settings -> about phone -> hardware.
Somewhere there should be the model.

The Sensation forums have some awesome people in it. If you have any troubles or questions feel free to send me a PM.
Thanks! I noticed this forum is buzzing with excitement, compared to the myTouch 3G Slide forums.
Which version of HTC Sense should I go with after I S-OFF? I like Sense 4.0, which my brother has on his One S, but Sense 3.6 has also caught my eye.
Sense 4 isnt perfectly functional but unless you use BT alot it doesn't matter.I'd go for S4 personally (Although im on MIUI at the minute as the battery life is far better than any sense variant)
I don't actually have a Bluetooth. I mostly like eye candy. I like aosp, I'm a man of bells and whistles. I like to be able to show my friends the advanced graphics and such.

Thanks! Should I unlock the bootloader or go with S-OFF? I used to have S-OFF on my myTouch 3G Slide, before I made the stupid mistake of updating to the official FroYo, which destroyed my root and S-OFF. Also, will Darktremor work on this device?

When you unlock bootloader you obtain s-off if im not wrong and the best way to do it is whit revolutionary method or htcdev works aswell but if you send your device backin whit htcdev method they will know you have hacked ur phone :/

Most definitely S-off, with S-off you have full read write permissions for all partitions. With HT Dev unlock you only have read write permissions for your System, Boot, and Recovery partitions. Plus you have to flash the boot.img for each ROM you want to use manually via fastboot command or use Smartflash in 4EXT.
Sorry but I do not know about Darktremor.

[HELP] HTC Sensation to Sensation 4G

Hi Everyone! I really need to ask this, it might be redundant but I tried to search for it but I failed big time. I'm really New at this device HTC Sensation 4G what I want to know is if I can use any HTC Sensation Specific Official Firmware or Custom ROM in this device. For example MIUIv4 or CM9 has an update for HTC Pyramid (Sensation) can I flash this w/out the risk of toasting/bricking my Device. Just like I flashed the wrong thing on my Device? Is it safe to assume that this ROM are universally compatible to all Sensation Series?
Sorry for asking too much, I just want to be sure.

Hope Jellybean with sense 4+ will be a reality someday :fingers-crossed:
This is great news, the fact we have great devs pushing and keeping our sensation updated, but we need crucially the JB kernel from htcdev, it will solve most issues including more performance. Let's hope they do their part.

Or we need the kernel from Venom ViperS JB ROM, but i think they wouldnt share it...
This is wonderful but by the time that we ever get kernel source everyone will be upgraded to a new phone.

Guys don't expect anything from HTC, it's a company who wants its customers to buy new device every 8 months, you might know what they did to DHD, DZ, so because of this i am still banging my head for buying HTC device again, (Sensation) SGS2 JB update really added more pain, even one x will hardly get updates after their recent HTC One release, time to switch to samsung devices from here on, barring plastic builds, their phones are power house, with on time updates!! Sorry if any HTC employee is reading this!!! It's now proved!!

I don't Know what you have, Samsung is not better than HTC if you look at devices that are released at the same time, they are equal about update politics
Sgs2 don't even have jelly bean yet and about sensation they didn't say anything because HTC don't know if it will improve the device
