[Q] Copy image to other desire S - HTC Desire S

My friend has also a desire S but his android soft is bugging al the time.
Can i take an image (CWM) of my desire s , which is working fine ,and flash it into his ?
Or do i have to flash a new ROM into his phone ?
It's rooted and S-Off.

it may be dangerous to install your rom to his phone.
there are pre rooted stock roms on the forum, it is better to install them.

Yep your backup will have all your google account info. Could cause all kinds of conflicts running on two phones.

Sorry for the Noob questions, but what's "prerooted" and how do i select the right ROM.
There are so many ROM's here on XDA.

If you are noob, then you do not need custom rom. install stock
prerooted firmware is preinstalled with root

If you want to learn about installing roms read "Beginners GUIDE:Rooting a HTC Dream(T-Mobile G1) and Installing CYANOGENMOD 6 (FROYO)"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=727688
As you already have an old Cyanogen rom, your phone is already rooted, so you can skip the 1st part of the guide (you may want to read it anyway for a better understanding of what was already done on your device).
Once you select the rom you want to flash, you can post your questions on installing that rom in that rom's thread.
Happy flashing!

Usually NOT (changing your rom doesn't unroot your phone).... and this is the development section! Next time post in the question and answer section and we're all happy.

"flashing a ROM" means replacing the stock operating system that came with the phone with a custom one.
It can always be totally undone by flashing the stock ROM back on the phone.
flashing a custom ROM has many advantages such as putting Sense on a phone that didn't come with it or putting AOSP (stock android like the Nexus phones) on HTC devices that ship with Sense.
If you follow directions you're usually safe doing it.

Hello all!
Few questions:
1. Could any one list down What the procedures (from stock) are to boot with Custom ROM?
I had read lots of posts here, which made me much more confused thn. Sorry for being such a noob. I m not getting a clear picture of what needs to be done from start to have new custom ROM(say ICS).
2. And would my phone get FOTA updates with custom ROM?
3. List of some awesome custom ROMs? I could find loads in xda yet need the best.(Yes! it depends on person)
Thnx!!!

Welcom to the forum
In the def section there is a guid to s off root and supercid
When you did that goto Mike's arhd thread in development and follow instruction for the firmware update
Choose between insercoin arhd or any Rom and flash.it
Good luck

HERE try my custom rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466917
the procedure are in there too and if u follow it precisely should be no problem
I followed the guide to S-OFF but i got "FAILED TO ROOT " message.
So I followed HTC dev steps to unlock bootloader. Now my device got unlocked yet S-ON since HTCdev procedure allows to unlock only certain features.
What to do next??
appreciate any help???
Current ROM on my device is stock v1.52.720.3 and HBOOT as 1.18.0000
I guess here is the problem, when can I expect an updated Revolutionary?

[Q] What is procedure of Installing Custom ROMs?

Well..I am currently using a generic (not branded) HTC Sensation with the Gingerbread 2.3.4 stock ROM. I was previously using a SE Xperia X8 so I'm quite a noob to the Sensation ..
So, I want to install a custom ROM to my phone and have been doing a lot of reading to get hold of a point from where to start. But, still I am quite confused as for what should I do prior to installing a custom ROM..For instance I can relate that for the X8, I first had to root the phone, unlock the bootloader, install a nAa kernel and finally install a custom ROM. But, even after doing a lot of reading, I still cannot find such a sequence (maybe I haven't done enough reading ) for the Sensation. I am so confused with S-On and S-Off, clockwork, unlocking and SuperCID and all those stuff .
So I would really appreciate if someone can help me out and tell me what should I do to install a custom ROM to my phone from the beginning.
P.S. - I searched for threads related to this topic but was not quite satisfied with the answers I got. That's why I thought of posting a new thread. Hope I haven't violated any thread rules.
Sorry for being such a noob
And thanks in advance!

1. You shoud unlock your phone and get s-off first
2. Flash custom recovery and backup your phone data first (use custom recovery)
3. Flash adequate firmware
4. Flash the custom rom.
There are very clear guides in the Sensation android development forum. You can find enough information and files there. Good luck and enjoy your phone flashing!
