RUU says:
Code:
ModelID: SAPP30000
CIDNUM: T-MOB010
This means this RUU is ONLY FOR the MyTouch3g (Sapphire 32B)

Not sure what this is ? (i mean,what is a full RUU froyo update for Sapphire)???

The rule of thumb is if you don't know what something is, chances are YOU DON'T NEED IT.
This is the official update to Android 2.2.1 (no Sense) for the MyTouch3G, which is the american version of the Sapphire 32B. As your country is Serbia, where the 32A was distributed, you should stay away from this.

Yeah but i got my phone in Switzerland ,so i got a 32b sadly.
I'd like to try this...are there any spl/radio req.?

You're better off using one of the custom, rooted ROMs based on this.

i've tried every method i could find (and understand) to try to reroot my phone to no avail.
ive done the unlockr method of downgrading using sappimg.nbh - including using a goldcard but i get an error that it failed and that its an older version (i just cant remember wat the exact message was)
ive done the universal unlocker thats supposed to work on the 2.2.1 but it freezes (super one click or somethign)
flashrec wont work obviously cuz i cant downgrade to 1.5
anything else i can try? im no expert obviously..but does this mean that i have to wait till a new, updated method is out to root my phone? since this is the latest tmobile release?

through settings i go to about phone and it says i have android version 2.2.1
i went through this process already but ill try it again because in the steps i took, i dont remember doing the reverse string thing. redownloading sappimg.zip now
appreciate the help

went through flashing sappimg...after a while it just says main version is older! update fail! do you want to reboot device?
ive rooted before and none of the processes ive used before are working. im thinking that i just need to be patient until a new method/adjustment comes out. but then again, im a newb.

So still new to rooting and custom roms and what not....bottom line is that this is for my T-Mobile mytouch 3g correct? I'm running the beatsmod from the forum runs pretty well I want to try this but I have a question do I need the new radio and spl? Or just flash in recovery mode?
can anyone give me an answer please?

Lol . Search on the Android software development .. I think there are some apk`s that could help you with rooting ( or google one click root ) . After that you can instal a custom recovery by installing RomManager and install your desired recovery from there.
Hope I`ve made some sense ...Pm me if you don`t manage to do it.

ive done the superclick method and it went nowhere but i see some further instructions that ill try with it. if i can get it rooted, ill be bale to manage from there hopefully with the recovery and the roms. even the universal one click root apk is useless now since 2.2.1 has patched the loophole it used to use.
ill give it a shot..l

great...superoneclick worked for me...thats what i get for trying to do things too quick...i actually tried using this before but it didnt work and now i see the reason y (too stupid to read instructions)

my phone is now rooted (i can grant superuser permissions)...now ill go on to installing a custom recovery and rom
sorry to those that had to put time into helping me due to me not doing my part and thanks for your help

and the beat goes on..
everything's getting weird now. my phone got rooted but i've been unable to install a custom recovery (amon_ra's). when i put in the appropriate command into terminal, i get an error that it failed or its not found and apparently its an issue with the root method that worked for me. yes i did use rom manager and flashed a recovery using rom manager but have been unable to boot into recovery. the tmobile screen comes up and the phone goes nowhere frmo there until i pull the battery and restart it.
now im trying another method to root and the whole sdk method is messing up. if i type fastboot devices into command prompt im told that theres a dsl missing. if i type adb shell or adb devices, adb is not a recognized command.
im considering accepting that all i can get is root and not a custom rom/recovery

[Q] Flashing Generic Firmware with S-off

Hi Guys,
Apologies if this has been discussed before. I have looked for answers everywhere and i could not find any.
Ok, I have a Desire S which is branded to Telstra (Australia), I was sick of all the useless app that Telstra had put in and wanted to get rid of all those.
I used revolutionary method to get it s-off and install Generic Firmware. After that i was happy not having any of Telstra's bloatware on the phone. Then came the update of 2.3.5 and as usual downloaded the firmware and used RRU to Update. Big mistake on my part, i didn't read anything and just tried to push RRU on the phone, the result was White screen with HTC logo and nothing past that. Tried everything no luck, then looking for answers, i found a solution to remove revolutionary, I could see revolutionary gone in HBOOT but the phone would not start.
to solve this i went to telstra to send it to repair, warranty was there and when telstra asked what happened, i said i was updating an app and it went to this screen, Tech guys said this is the similar 3rd problem in a day. so after 5 days the phone got repaired, New IMEI number and logic board had to be replaced.
Now all over again i have bunch of telstra bloatware on the phone. I want to get Generic 2.3.5 with sense 3.0. what is the process to follow so that i don't make the same mistake again?
All i want to do is get it s-off and install generic Firmware, the easiest way possible something like revolutionary. I tried going with ADB but found a bit risky.
Any advice in getting Generic HTC Desire S (2.3.5 with Sense 3.0) the easiest way would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

To get a generic firmware from some other area, you need to get Super CID. I don't know much about it, just that CID's like a region code, Super CID enables you to get generic ROMs from any region. Only XTC Clip can do that on a Desire S as far as i know. Flashing a custom ROM after Revolutionary S-OFF is a better option....
Listen, I really recommend you to use a Custom ROM based on the update if you are ready to S-OFF. Hyperion is much faster and has a lot more features. Hell, if you do S-OFF, why settle for Sense 3? Get Sense 3.5. I recommend endymion.

@shrome99: Thanks dude, correct me if i am wrong, to get a generic firmware onto the desire s there is no option but to go for s-off and customs roms are better than stock ones, the reason i am asking is i have not used custom roms and willing to stick to stock.
What is the easiest way to get the rom sorted, I know how to get the custom rom installed there are too many posts everywhere that you can read through and make a decision and find roms of your choice, but there seems to be nothing about stock roms, i am sure there are people who are willing to get stock rom and their carrier is not rolling out the update coz they want more junk to be added.
Steps on how to get generic stock rom would be really helpful.
Thanks again

Hey Ben, Thanks for this, I went ahead and got the ROM as you suggested. Installed the base verison, then the add-on and the update. I have been palying around with it and so far loving it.
Only problem tough, I cannot use Market. I can open market look for apps and download, but when it starts to install, the phone re-boots. any known issues with this and is there a workaround to sort this out.

Ok, so here is what i did, Flashed Base version again and market started working again with no issues. Another issue which is not so much of an issue but only at night, why does the soft keys don't lit up on Desire S?. any way to fix these. Thanks guys.

Sometimes firing up and signing into Google talk makes the market start working again

Thanks for that, I did a search for the issue and did the same thing as you had advised, but didn't work. Then I flashed the base version again and then the update, which worked. Don't know what had happened there.
But yeah loving the new rom and i would say was a better move to be on a custom ROM and getting rid of Carrier's junk installed.
Cheers!

Ok, so instead of creating a new post i have decided to post it here since it is already been discussed.
I was happy with rooted phone and endymion Rom and was happy until my phone started heating up and restarted on its own as if it had a mind of its own, I called HTC and they advised to send it for repair, i had to unroot the phone and sent for repair. Got the phone back with updated version and i need help rooting the phone.
when i boot the phone in fast boot this is what i get:

The oldest RUU i can find for my provider is RUU_Saga_Telstra_WWE_1.36.841.3_Radio_20.28d.30.0805U_3805.04.02.01_M_release_184558_signed.exe
I was reading the guide and this is where i am confused.
6.This command will gets you out of adb shell.. so we need to get back to adb shell and you will see "#" sign..meaning you are temp rooted and we can then proceed to changing MISC_VERSION:
Code:
adb shell
cd /data/local/tmp
./misc_version -s 1.27.405.6 .
./misc_version -s 1.27.405.6 do i change this to 1.36.841.3 or leave it as it is?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

IMO you can leave it as it is. 1.27.xxx is older than your RUU version so I think it will work fine.

Thanks for that, yes i did follow the guide, and then got stuck again. The problem i am facing is after pushing all the files as of the guide, i run tacoroot the phone restarts and all i get is a red triangle with exclamation mark in it and nothing else happens.
then to get rid of it, i pull out the battery and do a complete factory reset. I have done this about 5 times now but still the same.
Also tried using super one click but that dint work either and freezes on waiting for device.
anything i have missed or is there any other solutions, any GUI programs or video to help if i am missing something.
any help is appreciated.
Thanks

I believe that you have to boot the original recovery before using tacoroot to get it working ( I mean boot it once, then boot normally).
After using tacoroot --root, your phone will probably go in bootloop, don't worry about that and change your misc_version as described in the tutorial.
And please, stop pulling out the battery, you will brick your phone this way.

You can pull it out as often as you want..but at least you should know the risk.

I don't understand,"boot into original recovery". To try i booted the phone in HBOOT and pressed recovery and same thing the triangle shows. am i missing something here.

You can try misc_version_universal to avoid error patching partition 17 (see attachment below).

Thanks dude, this worked and going thru revolutionary. i did some changes in the steps and will update what i did in a while after i get a rom installed.

Thank you everyone for help and support. i was able to downgrade my HBOOT and install a custom ROM. It would not have been possible if you guys had not supported.
one thing i have learnt is the more you read the more you find things useful and you actually learn how ti weigh your risk and benefits and avoid ending up with an expensive paper weight.
so this is what i did.
after using universal misc version file i was getting 140 error in RUU, boot loader version error, tried 3 time but would not let me get past that, then out of frustration i thought about giving it a last try for good or for worse, in the misc version section i changed a bit.
adb shell
cd /data/local/tmp
./misc_version -s 1.36.841.3 (Same number as my RUU)
then RUU went fine and then revolutionary.
well, if any kind of newbie person in trying to root the phone i would suggest to read and if you think you have read enough, its probably you haven't.
special thanks to @chninkel, @eyahl. Thanks Guys for all the support.
Cheers!

What exactly is involved in installing a custom ROM on a stock Sensation?

Hey guys,
Sorry to be a noob but I'm completely new to the idea of installing custom ROMs so was wondering if someone wouldn't mind explaing what exactly is involved in installing a custom ROM (bruce2728's CM10 ROM) onto a completely stock HTC Sensation?
So far from everything I've read I need to root and S-OFF my phone as well as unlock the bootloader and back up the stock ROM (for warranty purposes) before I'm able to install a new ROM. Am I missing anything here?
So far I've tried to unlock the bootloader but can't even download the software from htcdev.com because the website keeps logging me out as soon as I log in...
Anyway I've read through a few forums and articles on how the whole process works but I'm finding it very confusing because there seems to be multiple ways of doing each part and the files you seem to need vary depending on exactly which version of the Sensation you have.
Anyway if someone wouldn't mind explaining each step or linking me to somewhere that does I would greatly appreciate it
In terms of which model of Sensation I have, HTC have told me that its an open version handset thats been customized in France if that makes any difference. And here's my current software info:
Android version: 4.0.3
HTC Sense Version: 3.6

Hi,
There is an huge amount of good information in my sig(☺ A great starting point for all new Sensation owners ☺)
My suggestion would be :
ganesh or kgs for root and s-off
You have 3.33 firmware,so you would then be good to go.

Thanks for the info
So if I follow the steps on this page I will have S-OFF, unlocked the bootloader and rooted my device so all I would have left to do would be to install the actual ROM correct?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661631
And if so what is the best way to go about installing the ROM afterwards?
EDIT: After reading through that page again I realized that there seem to be two completely different tools, you can use. Do you have to use both of them or just one?
i.e. could I just use the 'new one click root tool' on my phone while its completely stock then would I be able to install a new ROM on straight after?

Hi,
I gave you 2 guides for you to choose from.
The one you chose is from ganesh,and if you follow all of that,then,that is all you have to do.
Once you are rooted and s-0ff,then,just place the ROM of your choice on the sd card ,choose it in recovery and run it.
I forgot to mention the custom recovery.
In the list of guides I gave you,look for one by joaquinf.
In that thread you will find 3 methods to install 4EXT recovery.
again choose the best method for you and install it.
then,you will be good to go.

hmm it seems you are getting confused with some terms ..ill try to explain them briefly
ROOT: its a feature of ROM ..when you have root ..you can completely control the ROM ..you can remove even system apps (the apps that came by default) and change internal stuff
SOFF: it unlocks the complete internal partition of sensation ..that means you can modify any thing anywhere ...thus you can install custom roms, custom recoveries,bootloader,radio etc etc
HTC-DEV: its a feature provided by HTC ..which unlocks some partitions which are quite enough for installing custom roms and custom recoveries ..but during custom rom installations you need to do couple of extra steps to get it completely working
now ..by default all partitions of internal memory are locked .. thus to ROOT your phone ..we need to have unlocked system partition ..which can be attained by HTC-DEV unlock or SOFF (so the one click root requires either of them as per-requisite)
now if you want to decide what to do ..do check this post

Ok so I started using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661631
And I got to the point just after where you have to do the wire trick. Now in the cmd screen I just get a message saying "open device manager and check adb and/or fastboot drivers!! Resetting connection....1.....2...." Over and over...
Any ideas as to what I've done wrong? I made sure that the HTC drivers were installed before I started the process

Ahhh crap. After having a look around the forums and on youtube etc as well as trying to install adb through the android SDK and still not having any luck (the ControlBear program ended up freezing aswell) I decided to close the ControlBear program but now whenever I try starting my phone it just loads into a black screen with the menu bar... I hope I haven't completely ruined my phone...

Nevermind, I finally manged to get it S-OFF and rooted
I managed to do a factory reset which enabled me to use my phone properly again so then I restarted the S-OFF process again after rebooting my computer and what do ya know, it works!
Thanks so much guys
Now I just need to work out how to get 4EXT working and then install CM10

For me, coming from Stock 2.3.3 ROM w/ 2.6... firmware:
I had to Root and S-OFF: Simple enough, I used the Revolutionary tool.
Install a recovery program: Once again, simple enough, you can download ClockworkMod Recovery from the Play Store and it will install it.
IMPORTANT: I originally didn't know I had to update Firmware to a newer one. I tried installing the ROM with 2.6.... and it just bootlooped after language selection. Make sure your firmware is adaquate.
Make a backup (if you want)
Then install the ROM and GApps if needed!

I have a Mytouch 4G Slide With a HBOOT ver 1.45.0013
I Unlocked Using HTCDev <- that worked = Bootloader Unlocked
Then i Flashed Clockwork Recovery Img 5.0.2.7 = cool that worked for me (familiar with it cause i had it on my evo 4g)
cwm loads up and my phone booted up normally
then i flashed over a su.zip and i had ROOT i fogot wat one it was exactly but watever
I even installed titanium to do a test run to see if the actual root request was accepted and it worked as well
I tried to flash some roms from
androidevolved. forumsmytouch-4g-slide-root-roms-kernels-development 490-htc-mytouch-4g-slide-roms
needless to say after that ive been stuck on the mytouch splash screen for the past 3 days ive been picking at it researching but IDK wat the hell im doing wrong
**********************************
now for the reason im stuck
i was only trying to flash cause the kernal and software that i had did have a few minor glitches like random shutdowns when running apps sometimes that was all i was trying to resolve so i am open to try just about anything that would get me back to stock or even on a custom rom IDC just someone please help me if you neeed further detail please
please refer me to anyone or if you have any leads id be soooo greatful for anyhelp ty -Adam Mytouch-pos 4g slide l:fingers-crossed:
P.S. i can access Fastboot and adb, and CWM, and hboot all working fine so maybe im doing the wrong process in formatting my phone and as well as using the wrong PG zip (OBVIOUSLY) lol cause every rom or persons seems to be having different ways of formatting there phone/sdcard , im not illiterate i have flashed my evo 4g so wat gives

You are s on, so you need to flash the kernel with fastboot when you flash a rom, fastboot flash boot boot.img
Extract from rom of choice
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium

if your s-on have you ever gone to bootloader mode then place your phone into fastboot mode (highlight bootloader then press power button)
on your computer install the htc mytouch 4g slide fastboot drivers than
go to start run or on win 7 just search for cmd
then google out downloading an ADB folder and place it on your c: drive
then on cmd type cd\adb then it should look like this C:\adb>
then on whatever rom your getting extract it to a seprate folder then grab the boot.img file
then place it somewhere like your desktop then your gonna type on cmd
C:\abd>fastboot flash "C:\user\"name of user you have the file in"\desktop\boot.img"
then place the rom you got the boot.img from THE ROM UNEXTRACTED to your sd card then just reboot to recovery then flash the only rom and you should be good

Thank you to both crimedave1987 and demkantor for this explanation!! I was having the same problem as the OP. This was the first time I ever tried rooting and flashing my phone, and trying to figure out what my limitations are with the 1.45.0013 HBOOT has been a bit confusing.
But thanks to you guys, I'm finally up and running a ROM instead of just staring at the stock splash screen!

mytouch 4g slide rom flash / install easy step by step
LMAO OMG Thank you guys!! i missed that simple step had all the tools and i am very appreciative for the help guys
So FYI , the final stages after
HTC Dev unlocks boot loader
install cwm 5.0.2.7
extract your boot.img from your rom zip eg. cm9
goto fastboot mode in your hboot menu
then flash the boot.img with fastboot "fastboot flash boot boot.img" easy command if you place the boot.img in the same folder as your fastboot.exe
choose reboot into recovery from hboot after boot.img is flashed
push your rom with adb if you do not have a sdcard reader on your pc or lap or simply copy it over with your sdcard reader
if you get any error about device not found u must mount your sd card in your cwm options before this command will work
"adb push cm9.zip /sdcard"
then choose install zip with cwm
you should already know how to do the last step
thanks to all that has helped me im sooo excite i can now try out different roms now that i got the step
please follow the above it is how i achieved my custom rom installed HAVE A GREAT DAY ALL!!!! XDA ROCKS!

(cm9,cm7,bulletproof)rom.zip -----> sd-card
(whatever rom your flashing)extract grab boot.img and place it on your desktop
DL adb folder place it on C: drive
go to cmd.exe
(ON CMD)
example:
C:\Users\CricketUser>
then type cd\adb
then should look like this
C:\adb>
(I HOPE YOUR HBOOT UNLOCKED)
then power your phone down completely and press (vol -) and (power) and should take you to hboot
press power to select and up and down vols to scroll highlight to fastboot and press the power
(OH AND MAKE SURE YOU HAVE HTC ADB DRIVERS INSTALLED) then on cmd type this...
C:\adb>fastboot flashboot C:\Users\CricketUser\Desktop\boot.img (DRAG BOOT.IMG FROM DESKTOP AFTER TYPING FASTBOOT FLASHBOOT) hit enter then type
C:\adb>fastboot reboot recovery (I HOPE YOU HAVE CWM RECOVERY FLASHED)
then unplug your phone on cwm go to install rom from sd card and the one and only rom you got on your sd card install it then when done reboot your phone and your good to go i hope thats enough detail

Ty for the advice as I have already flashed my ROM I was asking generally wat is the best rom for the mt4gs and when and where can I read when jelly bam 6 will work for my phone BTW right now I am running jellybam 4.0 and I love it

So I have done the clearing of the dalvik cache and also reset the permissions no no dice
thank you for your help i am going to next option you suggested
Moving forward... going to reinstall a go later on today I'm off today yay!, and I will repost the results after. Side note: going to also make a list of all my apps so I can full wipe as I have read a dirty install could be possible reason for no GPS n no network service , and not to mention to also let the phone sit for 5 minutes to stabilize but, when is that supposed to happen?? after the ROM install in cwm or after the boot.img flash in adb? Thanks for the help once again ... n from the OP mentioned it doesn't take all the time , is that referring to the boot.img not taking or is it the ROM not taking I just curious as how these things work thanks crimedave !
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using xda app-develop ers app

ohh my goodness! this is a job for Crimedave to the rescue plz help just redid my whole phone completly wiped and formatted everything did 3 complete wipes n waited the 5 minutes through serverall of the steps of flashing just to be sure i wasnt rushing the process, and still im without gps and service bars idk wat the heck to do maybe just go for another rom? but im sure this rom is supposed to work "Jellybam" i will try cyanogen mod 9 later on tonight when i get back home unless you could do some digging ive exhausted all my resources for troubleshooting this issue any advice would be appreciative TYSVM for your time and all you have help this far -Adam

So did you wipe everything, flash ROM via recovery, then flash kernel via fastboot?
If these weren't you're steps then go back and do it again, if they were just flash a gingerbread ROM for now and make sure all is working there
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

Please Read This.
....and no matter how it may sound in the instructions, always....ALWAYS....flash your boot.img LAST.
BTW....the 5 minutes rest they have been talking about is 5 minutes after your ROM boots up. Just let it lay there then pick it up and you're OFF............

okay here we go again btw thank you demkantor and thank you weekendsr2short for the advice but still no dice at all, so i been searching google and xda forum for a stock rom but there are so many post out there idk which one works i have tried two versions of the stock rom from stock shipped roms and they came back wrong image file
PG59IMG_Doubleshot_TMOUS_1.28.531.9_Radio_10.48.9007.00U_10.12.9007.07_M2_release_201815_signed.zip
PG59IMG_Doubleshot_TMOUS_1.63.531.2_Radio_11.59.3504.00_11.16.3504.20_2_blahblah
idk wat pg zip im looking for as i am completely lost i am going to try a few other roms and see what happens if you already know what rom (gingerbread) i am to use please post ty
so i found Blue6IX's Development Related Mirror Site
and there is one more PG zip
PG59IMG Doubleshot TMOUS 1.55.531.3 - Radio 11.59.3504.00 - 11.16.3504.20_2 release 227956 signed.zip
giving this one a shot hope its compatible cause im about to give up on this issue and just say F the whole GPS and Service will update when done
ohhh and btw do i have to flash the 1.55.531.3 Update Insecure Boot.img
cause i would think logically they work in conjunction right? or do i just grab that out the PGzip just like any other rom flash installation

well from Blue6IX's Development Related Mirror Site
trying to figure out wat i need and how to persay get back to stock im totally lost on that blues thread
so anyhow you have all my info except im not on a rom anymore atm going back to some sorta rom to atleast boot into someting
so i can use my phone
never thought i would have to go back to stock to check my phones service to see if it works or not
i tried cyanogenmod9 booted up fine and everything gapps worked but no gps still wondering if i have to do junoputebear wire trick to get my gps on and from wat ive read and see on youtube about gps fixes how they use the terminal to rewrite dev blocks wonder if i should try that route but just a little something i notice when im doing a data factory wipe i get msg in the formatting progress that says mak_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 maybe thats whats wrong wit my pos phone
if you have any more ideas please let me know all im trying to achieve is getting my gps and service back on with new rom software (stock or custom) IDC i was just trying to fix random reboot every now and then resets , if i gotta use my phone under wifi i have to but if everything else works there HAS TO BE A FIX SOMEHOW! uuuuuhhhg im so dissapointed in myself cause im usually good at figuring this stuff out till tomarrow hope i get some new ideas thanks xda

There is a glimmer of hope I have my GPS after tested in copilot app and another GPS app as well but still no service bars at all
The way I understand it is radio should have been protected with my s-on cause I'm not s-off so how could have I lost it idk of I find a solution I will post till then any suggestions would be appreciated ty

It's been a while but as I remember it, you can't flash those images with an Unlocked phone. If your radio got messed up somehow you need to relock your bootloader before you reflash the original or higher image than your phone came with.
If you'll go to ADB and issue the cmd, "adb oem lock", that will set you ready to reflash the .img file. If the image file is in your SD card root, just "adb reboot bootloader" ...and you're off. You'll have to unlock again but you'll have a fresh new phone to start over on.

[Q] Rooting Shift with most current stock updates

I was foolish and allowed my shift to install all the most current updates available for the stock rom.
I am now stuck after attempting to regain root and s-off through -all- methods I can find.
I have no rom installed, RUU's do not work, I have clockwork 5.0.x.x something installed.
I try to install -any- rom and it says it installs correctly but upon reboot stays at the green HTC white background screen.
I just want to root and s-off this sucker again but NOTHING seems to work and now I think I've really done a number on it. I can't find anything that fixes it, and most of the guides I find to help refer to booting the phone up and doing something with the phone's terminal... which I can't do as there is no working OS on the phone...
Anyone know of any way to get this sucker rooted and s-off using ADB or whatnot through bootloader or fastboot?

Yup, been trying that... And I finally fixed my problem...
Something about if you have problems installing the RUU, run it twice... run it a second time...
It'll run the first time and hang, then I read that someone had luck just running it a second time. I ran it a second time and it worked somehow...
Thanks anyway!
