Hi,
Did you install 4.0.1.4 or 4.0.1.5 ?
4.0.1.5 has some known issues.
4.0.1.4 is on my sig

Isn't it time they "officially" did a 4.0.1.6 with the charging issue fixed, this 4.0.1.4/4.0.1.5 confusion gets someone every day it seems.

Just ignore it, I guess it's RM standard procedure. Don't update it if you don't want to have the buggy 4.0.1.5 version. Mine is 1.4 but RM still says it's 1.5.

They cant release a updated version because they dont even know why the hell people are finding one to work and not the other, while others find the converse to be true.
.4 charged my phone, but with no LED lit and I had to do a battery pull to restart the phone. Booo...
.5 works, 100% for me. Just like you would expect the phone to work. This is true for some, and false for others. No one has a clue why, so they cant fix anything yet. They are too caught up in ROMs rather than basics. If you mention it, they breath fire down your neck and call you a heritic. They then scold you for not bowing down and kissing @ss of the developers. Funny thing is, the developers never say how they feel, its the OTHERS that jump in the way and flame you until a MOD comes to put the fire out with a locked thread. Some forum, huh?

This is NOT true for everyone. The truth is, is that MORE THAN LIKELY one or the other version will be the one for your phone, but NOT both.
The true way to know is to attempt to charge a battery with enough charge left to boot up your phone in the event you chose the WRONG one for your phone's special needs.
Turn off phone, no fastboot. Charge phone for 30mins or so. Try to turn the phone back on and see if your battery % went up. If not, try the other version.

Whats wrong with ROM manager? I am asking as a "noob" because to me, it looks superb. Although, I just have used it to get CWM .5 (which works 100% for my phone) as well as to backup my current ROM and fix permissions.
Is there something that us "noobs" should know about it?

I prefer the older way of doing things manually . Justed wanted to try out RM as everyone is going ga ga over it.

ROM Manager does not recognize this as an "official" alternate recovery, but you can flash it using this workaround.

1. Open Superuser and "Forget" ROM Manager.
2. Open ROM Manager, and Flash ClockworkMod Recovery.
3. After it downloads, it'll ask for superuser. Uncheck "Remember," and Deny superuser access.
4. Go to /sdcard/clockworkmod/download/download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/, and rename the file that just downloaded to [whateverItIs].img.real. (The next step will be easier if you copy the filename first.)
5. Copy the 4.0.1.4 to this location & rename it to whatever the new ROM Manager download was called.
6. Open ROM Manager, and Flash ClockworkMod Recovery again.
7. This time, Allow superuser.

[Q] How to root 2.3.5 sense 3.0,but just root

I want to root my DS to use some apps that require it. how can i do it ?
i want just root,while runing the official rom. can it be done ? thank you.

You'll need s-off, which can be acheived via htcdev.com Then, flash recovery and then the Superuser zip. That's the only way to root 2.3.5

Seems I'm missing something here. I got the HTCDev S-off. Bootloader is now unlocked. Now I want the phone rooted. I installed ROM Manger and tried to install ClockworkMod Recovery but the program keeps telling me on startup that I need to have Superuser installed. When trying to install Recovery download starts but I get an error message loosely translated "error while executing privileged command"
I also downloaded the superuser Rom from the clockworkmod homepage but I don't exactly know what to do with it. Rooting the first HTC Desire was much easier
I'd appreciate any help
Thanks

You are manually going to have to flash ClockworkMod from fastboot mode. As you have discovered, you cannot use ROM Manager to install CWM.

Ok. thanks. as far as I remember I need an *.img file for that which I have to place in the sd-card main folder. The superuser rom I downloaded is a zip file. Where do I get the *.img file? thx again

no, you need a recovery.img. Then flash that and flash the SuperUser ZIP through recovery.

Got that. Thx. And WHERE can I get recovery.img? Found one with Google however I don't know if there are different ones for different phones. Thx

Since when has the desire s been supported by htc dev

Links to threads with cwm recovery or the superior 4ext recovery are in the index thread on the desire s development forum
Say you download the 4ext recovery zip, you can then extract the recovery img file out of it

Thanks a lot. That did the trick. Desire S is rooted and Titanium Backup works now.

I'd like to know for future reference how you flashed the image. Can you use android flasher after s-off to do this? (i used rom manager method)

well, for now i just s-off-ed using htcdev.com .
next i was trying to figure out how to root, what steps.i've read the dedicated thread , but it helps me not . can you just point out the next steps ? rooting for dummies pls

Ok. It's rather easy. After using htcdev's method to S-Off the HBOOT, I downloaded the 4extrecovery_v2.1.0_saga.zip file from the 4ext homepage and extracted recovery.img from the archive onto my hard drive.
Then I started the phone in fastboot mode, connected it via USB to the notebook (don't forget USB debugging) and used fastboot.exe to flash recovery.img from my Windows notebook via a command line (cmd). Then I started 4ext recovery from fastboot mode on the Desire S and flashed the Superuser-3.0.6-efgh-signed.zip file I had also downloaded from 4ext homepage and had copied in the main directory of my sd-card. reboot phone and you're done.
In case you need a tutorial for flashing via fastboot look here:

Once you are hboot unlocked, you can install a custom recovery and then install the su binary and superuser app to gain root access. Then you can use Titanium backup.

thanks, will try today

I have a similar question to the OP's one.
I want to root my Desire S so as I can use more apps, how do I go about doing this?
From reading around it seems to be like this:
1. Unlock Bootloader
2. Flash Custom Recovery such as 4Ext
3. Flash su file
4. Install superuser app
Would these be the correct steps to take and give me root acess?
(Edit: If possible, can someone post the exact steps needed for flashing the custom recovery and su file? I'm not exactly sure as to how to go about doing this)

Anyone? I have already unlocked my bootloader, but I still am not sure it the rest of the steps I have posted are correct (or even how to go about doing them).

[Q] What recovery do you guys recommend?

i'm just wondering, what recovery do you use and which one is the best?

4ext touch is the best

You're lucky to have an HTC device which allows you to use something as good as 4EXT Recovery.
There is no doubt that it is visually and functionally way better than the classic CWM Recovery. Add to it the new TOUCHRECOVERY, and you have the best recovery available FOR ANY DEVICE out there today!!

currently i'm using revolutionary recovery. if i want to change to 4EXT, all i have to do is download and install recovery updater? or can i just flash the attached files from here and then use the recovery updater to find the latest one?

All you need to do is to download and install 4EXT Recovery Updater, and launch it. It will ask for root access, after which you can use it to flash 4EXT Recovery. It will download 4EXT Recovery and flash it on your device, replacing the older CWM Recovery you have currently, it's that simple. No complicated steps... just like running an app.
And did i mention...? It's FREE!!

Done!! thank you very much for the reply

You're most welcome brother. All new things are confusing and daunting at first to anyone.

[Q] MyTouch 4G Slide Root question (hboot 1.45.0013/bootloader unlocked/S-On)

Alright, so I got this phone a week ago. First off, I am loving it. Screw Apple.
Anyway, first thing I wanted to do was root it so I can debloat all of T-Mobile's poop applications they cram inside of it.
I've read places that HBOOT 1.45.0013 isn't rootable. I've read it IS rootable, but only with S-OFF on a previous HBOOT. And I've read that it is rootable, but you can't get S-OFF after root.
I've used HTC's unlock tool, which went successful because I flashed CWM through fastboot. I've tried HTC Supertool, MrRoot, and Revolutionary (which says it isn't compatible)
My question then is, which of the above statements is true? If it is rootable, I don't care about S-OFF too much. But I can't ever find a guide that tells me how to root it with this current HBOOT.
Halp pl0x? <3

If you download the Superuser zip (just google superuser android or something), you can flash it in recovery to get root. Alternatively, download a ROM with root preloaded (DS-mod is essentially stock with root and a few other standard root things added in) and flash it.

What's the difference in flashing Superuser, and downloading it from the Market?
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using xda premium

It won't install correctly if you do it while the system is on and live (through the market) you have to do it while the operating system is not running (through clockworkmod)
Afterwards, it's fine to update through the market, but the initial install will fail if done on a running version of Android.

..Huh, just flashed Superuser. Weird that it's that easy. All the other threads were like "omg HBOOT 1.45.0013 can't be rooted hnnnnnggg"
So, now onto ROMs, are there any ICS based ones you reccomend?

Btw I see tht your question has been answered but in Mr Root's next update will include a Rooter/Unrooter for the newest H-Boot (Without S-Off)

For a while it was so - you couldn't do anything with 1.45.0013, HTC broke the OTA so you couldn't unlock it.
In my quest for s-on to s-off (still ongoing) I found a leaked copy of the OTA as a signed HTC package so now we can actually unlock them, and people can work with them and they are now rootable.
Still stuck with s-on though, which is unfortunate - we're working on it and hopefully can crack it soon. Got some leads we're chasing down, each layer we unravel shows us another that has to be solved below it.
ICS? Dunno - i'm not interested in ICS yet, still trying to learn gingerbread through and through (i'm an android newbie) before moving up to ICS. That's on hold right now because of the s-on issue i'm working on. tbalden has been leading the charge on ICS and I would recommend looking into his works if that is your interest.

can you explain in detail how to flash it to rom?????

Using CWM to flash it, you will need the super user ZIP file. Find it somewhere (it's everywhere, no doubt) and put it on your SD card. Reboot the phone to recovery mode, and using CWM recovery, select "flash any zip from SD card" (I'd look up the exact wording, except that my phone has been running a solid 24 days without reboot and I really wanna see how long it goes). Navigate to where your super user ZIP file is, and select it. Follow prompts, et voila, root on reboot.
Assuming all works. If something didn't work, you messed up. Try again from step 1, make sure you have a zip file and not an APK file, make sure you select the correct "flash zip" option (there are two, one specifically for update.zip and another for whatever zip you choose).

ok this is my huge problem i have the same hboot with s-on
i have the full stock stupid t-mobile mt4gs AOS 2.3.4 software# 1.55.531.3 and i DONT have CWM or any of the extras in only thing i succeeded is getting the bootloader unlocked so what should i do?

Install clockworkmod then flash either superuser pr a ROM - if staying stocl with root, be a good time to do some spring cleaning on all the junk it comes with pre-installed.

Well,
What exactly did you do that returned this error (mainly because I don't remember if fastboot or adb returns that)? What tutorial/guide were you following? Were you in adb trying to "dd" the CWM recovery image or were you trying to flash an img file from within fastboot? Either way, what was the exact command you typed?
Your other thread (sorry, didn't realize I had replied to you in two different places) received an answer as well. After looking around to get the info you need for this post, I see now you've posted in quite a few threads to which I'm subscribed (guess I just never noticed the name, sorry).
So I see you have an unlocked bootloader. At this point, yes, flash CWM. Blue6ix gave an excellent post on how to do this. Is this the one you are currently trying to follow in order to install CWM?

tried to use superuser
I tried to load the superuser zip file in recovery with cwm. installation aborted. any suggestions? I have mytouch4gslide with s on unlocked with HBoot 1.45.0013

Did this help? Only things I can think of are (1) using ”flash update.zip” instead of ”flash [any] zip file” or, less likely, (2) trying to flash an apk instead of a zip.

Hi:
I too have a MyTouch Slidwe 4G with the hboot 1.45.0013. All the contrary information I have found lead me to go to the professionals. I purchased the root-android.org software. It seemed to run fine - I got no errors and it said that the phone was rooted. I see the superuser app on the phone. However, when I try to run Titanium Backup, it says that the phone is not rooted. The people at root-android.org are not answering my emails (I did get my money back). Any ideas of where I should go from here?
Thanks!

You should never have to purchase root for any android, if it has been done once then chances are it is plastered how to all over the internet, if the phone has a thread on xda then it will be there. Being you got yourself this far I'll help you out a bit more

[Q] Help, boot loop here?

I wanted to flash to ARHD 6.3
This is my first time.. I managed to S off.. But then the bootloop began after I flashed PG58IMG.zip via fastboot.
Step 1. To S-OFF your Sensation - (You do not need to do this if you have S-off already or done this before) - WORKING NOW for TMOUS users
Visit
download the application for your operating System. AND EXTRACT IT TO A FOLDER
YOU MAY NEED TO DISABLE YOUR ANTIVIRUS PROGRAM- Norton is flagging up Revolutionary as a Virus when it isn't
IMPORTANT
Fill out the form under the download links with your OS, Device, Hboot Version and Serial number. This will give your beta key to enable you to S - OFF. Make a note of this.
How To get your Hboot Version - 3 methods below
1. [/url] and if it has found your device it should read
"Found your Device: HTC Sensation Z710* Applications -> Development)
4. With the phone switched on (not in HBOOT, just the regular home screen), plug in your USB cable and select HTC sync mode.(IGNORE any warning messages on your phone telling you it cannot find HTC Sync )
5. Launch revolutionary.exe. It should detect the phone and ask for your beta key. Type it (BE CAREFUL, as its case sensitive) or copy and paste it in.
If Revolutionary fails to find your phone verify you have all the drivers installed, try disk drive mode or charging mode (Linux users can use disk drive mode. Confirmed to be working by others)
6. Once you have entered your beta key correctly, follow any on screen prompts or actions from revolutionary and wait for it to S-Off,
7. You're done. Your Device will Successfully have S-OFF....if it hangs on method 3 and doesn't S-Off. See post 2 below for solutions.
IF REVOLUTIONARY SAYS FAILED YOUR PHONE IS NOT SUPPORTED. Go back and check hboot using the methods above. some users are told its failed and they still have S off now. If you have S-off your hboot will now be 1.17.1011 and revolutionary will tell you now your device is not supported
8. Revolutionary will now ask you to Install clockwork recovery mod after S OFF. Type N and install it manually below (the recovery provided is v4.0.1.4 doesn't charge when device is switched off, the one below v5.0.0.1 does charge)
9. Your Device now is S-off.
To install clockwork recovery for the sensation. Follow step 2!
STEP 2. To INSTALL Recovery - v5.0.0.8
1. Download recovery v5.0.0.8 for the Sensation HERE: or Multiupload
2. Copy the PG58IMG file into the Root folder of your SD card (The main Folder of your Memory Card)
3. Turn off your phone FUlly and reboot into the Bootloader/HBOOT screen (see post above on how to get to hboot screen)
4. Press Volume up to Accept when it asks" Do you want to start the update"
5. Press Power Off to Reboot back to android after installation is successful (normal screen with homescreen)

Hi,
Just as a matter of interest.
Do you still have a PG58IMG.zip on your sd card?
If so ,delete it.
Then it may boot into your ROM...

oh i've read that as well so i have deleted it manually by using sd adapter.. then reinserted it back n tried to boot normally.. but to no avail.. what's the root cause of this eh?
when i gained s off, i still can boot into my ROM.. however disaster happens when i flashed the .zip files obtained as per instructions..
oh but directly after i've flashed it, i didn't remove the .zip files n tried to immediately reboot into ROM.. does this make a difference?

Hi,
Did you complete the s-off thread by rooting and getting SuperCID?

good question..
immediately after s off, i boot into my ROM and tried to install busybox and other apps that requires superuser or root but failed and stating that my device was still not rooted..
so i proceed to install a recovery (in this case its ext4 recovery) but failed to find a .zip installer (but managed to find the .apk and .img version but afraid to proceed considering the extension wasn't the same as per guide's PG5...ZIP). so i tried to simply install cwm as per stated in the guide. coz i know after recovery is installed, only then i would be able to install the su zip files.
then it boot looped.. n here we are trying to shoot all of these troubles.. XD
and if my understanding was wrong, pls correct me. thanks!
only after you sent me the links i managed to install ext4 recovery via a much easier method using cmd.exe..
n that also means that i wasn't even able to follow through the supercid part of the guide..

Hi,
I follow THIS GUIDE
If you have 4EXT installed ,then you should be able to boot into recovery and make a nandroid,then root,then supercid...

wait a moment, i dont know if things are making more sense to me but, is it possible that this was caused by a wrong firmware? i just figured out my cid and its htc_044 and there are 4 different version of firmware for this cid, so should i try each of it until my phone boots to my original ROM?
Update: Oh God, I'm in such a relief! Thank God it works now. I flashed the firmware 1.17 n now am able to boot back into my ROM. Now i'm gonna get things backed up n will proceed. phew thanks so much for helping me out. The cause was maybe the zip files werent compatible with mine. So i check my cid n mid, n downloaded what might be the original one. so now its fixed..
