If a do a CWM of my Desire S, can i restore it on another Desire S?
Thanks
it's generally not recommended but I think if I were in a situation where I didn't have another backup I would probably try and use another but only from another desire s.
However, it may just be easier to transfer a ROM by putting it on the SD card and putting that sd card in the other phone depending on the situation

Why would it not be recommended? Both of the devices are the same right?
It won't lead to corruption will it?

I heard that there were files specific to the phone but after looking it up a bit more it seems to be OK to do so.

Oh right haha, I was thinking about it. Sometime ago I thought I was going to get a replacement handset, and I thought about rooting it, putting my old sd card in, and restoring my backup, then it'll be exactly the same_!!

yeah when my brother had the eMMC problem i tried putting my backup on his phone. Didn't work though But i think it would be good if someone tried it out sometime

Argh right.
Did it get an error in Recovery? Md5 mismatch?
It probably didn't work, cause his emmc chip was fried

Yeah that was why. But I was trying it before I found out (thanks to ben_pyett) hoping it was a bad flash

I tried it today and it worked perfectly.
How can i get the stock rom here?
I did it yesterday and it worked fine (in the end).
Be aware that revolutionary installs clockworkmod 4, which can't restore backups taken by clockworkmod 5. When I flashed clockworkmod 5 onto the new phone the restore worked perfectly.

From the way i see it now, we need to BOOT with the XTC CLIP to make the DS S-Off
Then u should root it with SUPERONECLICK.. search on the forum ..
Finally, install any ROM u would like in ROM MANGER .. (CayanogenMod / CoreDroid..)
Hope i helped

You're right in saying that the only way to root on DSS is currently XTCclip.
But as for ROMs the only ones you'd be able to instal (except official ones) are the customs that you'll find in the android development section of this forum (although I don't believe that any are available through ROM manager).
there are four or five different cooks.....to choose from, but the number has doubled in the last week alone so things are certainly looking up.

would i be correct in saying that once i s-off'd my phone and then rooted it, i would be able to uninstall the apps installed by my telco?
i'm not opposed to using the rom installed by my telco, it seems fast enough. i only want to uninstall their stupid bloody apps (which aren't actually apps, but rather links to their website).
Yes, you are right
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
Can you root using Gingerbreak ? Cuz i read that you need to flash an unsecured boot.img to make SuperOneClick work. What's the difference?
excellent.
i might look into buying myself an xtc clip.
unless a software method comes up soon.

Yes u can use Gingerbreak. That's how I rooted mine since superoneclick wouldn't work. You'll get an error message which u can ignore and then just reboot. Greetz

Yeah, i know about the S-OFF part, I'l wait for 2-3 weeks, then use the XTC Clip. If gingerbreak is usable, why is there so much fuss about superoneclick?? There must be some cons......do you know any? Anyway, thanks !!!

I used gingerbreak 1.2 to root after getting s-off and it has done nothing at all to damage my sd-card
It made the card un-mountable when you tried to temp root with out s-off, but that was easy fixed with a battery out reboot

Did you format your SD card or did it have data? Cuz the gingerbreak page says it's better to have a formatted one, but i don't wanna format, cuz there's a lot of data on it.

copy the data from the card to your computer first.
then after you've run gingerbreak, copy the data back.
or, go buy another sdcard. they're very cheap.
Please forgive me as I am definitely a complete newbie here. I am trying to root my DS so that I can hopefully run a Bluetooth RSAP app to link my car phone system. I have sent the phone away and had it made S-OFF and I have tried to download Gingerbreak from downloads it says "cannot open file" what am I doing wrong.

I've been thinking the same,also the gold card that the xtc clip makes worked in my old desire to flash ruu's that I couldn't previously flash no matter how many times I tried to make one,so maybe a copy of the card would work for all HTC's?

ok. I got an htc inspire 4g from a friend. when you look at the about phone in the settings menu, it says: model # htc inspire 4g. but when i go into android assistant app and go to tools>system info>platform info i get: device info: Manufacturer: HTC, Model: Desire HD, Device:ace, Product:htc_ace, Brand:cingular_us,Version:2.2.1.
does this mean that my phone has been rooted before or what?
No. There are many information pieces that state the name Desire HD. The Inspire is basically a Desire HD with a few differences.
The only major difference is the radio and audio chip.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
The Inspire is identical to the Telus Desire HD. Other than the firmware of course. They both also have 2 mics to aid in noise reduction. This is different than the European Desire HD which only has 1 mic.

I used bubby's to root mine, but I needed the zip from attn1 because of an issue with CWM not working right. Worked fine after that. I've since changed from CWM to 4EXTRecovery.

I used the one that you flash through recovery. You just install it from SD in CWM and it'll overwrite CWM. You don't have to unzip anything.

Download Absolute System from the market. It has a very easy to use build.prop editor. And it auto backs up every change you make. Change it, reboot, and you have an Inspire!

I would like to know this answer too.
I currently use CWM and have had no issues, as a matter of fact, I think I'm a lucky one because i can flash boot.img files and radios just fine in CWM without using fastboot, and most people say that is only possible with TWRP.
But I would like to know about the CWM dead battery issue.

Yup, 4ext is really nice, my bro has it on his sensation, but ive always used CWM, i had it on my MT3G and never had a problem, but i wanna know bout the dead battery issue, ive seen it in a few threads and i want to know if its really that much of a risk.
I've run multiple versions of CleanROM and also CM10, but anytime I install a Sense based JB ROM (I've tried Newt's, JellyBlam, and a few others), my phone gets stuck on the HTC boot splash, reboots, and enters recovery. I am on HBOOT 1.09 and Ive tried to fastboot flash the boot.img just to be sure, but it still doesn't work? I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, any clue what it is? Thanks in advance.

Maybe you have an init.d folder that is telling the JB ROM to overclock? Could check and delete that first. Otherwise you can double check the md5 of the ROM you're flashing to make sure its not corrupt. Aside from that it might be worthwhile to try a ROM like urdroid which allows you to flash the kernel during the installer.
Dunno man, your problem is a strange one.

Urdroid was another that i tried. It would get to the ROMs boot splash and lock there, but its the only one i recall that even got that far out of the 3 or so that i tried. where would that init.d folder be?
Either the directory of the /sdcard or /. I forget which as I have deleted it. But it should be a folder. Don't delete it if it's by itself.

Really sounds like you are not flashing the boot.img correctly.
Extract the boot.img from the ROM you want to use and install it with:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

I've been experiencing the same problem on my HTC Sensation 4G for the past couple years since I've had it. I have 3 HTC Sensations in my family and I've been playing around with all 3 phones during the last year. On my sister and my mom's phones, I'm able to install any rom (Sense-based...ARHD, Elegencia; and AOSP/AOKP-based...CM10, Paranoid Android, etc); however, on my own phone, after dozens of installs, trying all types of different kernels and roms, I was only able to install AOSP/AOKP-based ones. I've been running Touchcream ICS rom for awhile, then Paranoid Android, and currently JB Samsation V5 on my HTC and I love it. I'm really not missing out on anything, but it's just weird Sense-based roms just wouldn't boot. After some researching on the forum and experimenting with others, I've deducted that the reason could be very well my own hardware. :victory:

That method won't work with S-on on 2.14 hboot lol
Whoever made that post should have made that clear.
In any case 2.14 has write protection, stopping you from writting the CID and the exploit for 3.18 doesn't work for non-at&T phones.
You would need to make a linux boot disk and run JET tool to downgrade your hboot and then Super CID, then S-OFF then RUU.
Also, that method is for the HTC ONE and you are in EVITA one xl forums... what phone do you have? You're all over the place -_-
