Did a little bit of searching and couldnt find anything... maybe im just blind.
Ive used rom manager to download and install a rom before. But ive never done the build your own thing that is going on with all the roms now. So lets just use the blackhole rom from sonofskywalker3.
I would download the file listed as 1.4 Build your own, install it. Then install all the extras one by one if i want/need them?
Just want to have as much info as possible
Thanks in advance community!
I know this is the wrong section but I got some kind of feeling that there are more people looking in this section.
I have read some guides in the Development section (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537'
But I got some questions about rooting/S-off.
Why is rooting/S-off necessarily, why can't I just put the rom on my SD and go right into recovery mode and boot it up from there?
Also the program visionary plus, I hate that thing so much.... At this step:
Open Visionary and tap temproot, then attempt permroot now. Your device will reboot.
How the hell do I open it? I use Astro File manager or something to go to the file but I can't install the program on my mobile/SD card >.<
Also what do I need to do more besides Wiping my phone? In this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11557769
It says to flash a Radio is this a must? Or is the S-off/Root enough.
Thanks already

No, the DHD has a protected system which precludes overwriting the system partition so without S-OFF you can not make any permanent changes.

Don't use it then the instructions here, achieve root without the use of visionary.

No, but using a newer radio may improve battery life and wifi/Gps reception etc.

No worries!
When I had the wrong Radio my battery drain was 15% an hour and this was with a sense Rom. imo S-OFF is a must.
i used this and it worked great.

Actually all of the roms now are running Gingerbread, and sense roms are on sense2.1 (With some sense3.0 elements).
My bad, when I was choosing which rom to load yesterday, everything i read said AR was still 2.2. Must have been old threads.
Thanks guys I now know enough

just for the record, nobody can help you based on this information. you need to quote the error message.
Haven't tried CM7 but if you haven't already flashed a rom I'd give a big thumbsup for Leedroids GB rom, very quick, stable and flashed like a dream

+1 for this. definitely give LeeDroid a go if you can. admittedly, it's the only custom one i've used to date (and for less than 24 hours at that), but i can't rate it high enough compared to the branded rom i got in the first place. amazing!

There is no error message. I just can't find a 'exe' or AKP file which will install the program on my SD/Mobile.
@ Above,
No, I haven't flashed a ROM yet since I heard there are some problems with ClockWorkmod of ROM Manager so I am going to wait for a few days xD

sorry to hear that. it's news to me, though. i downloaded it (CWM), and used it last night in the process of flashing the rom, no issues. but i understand the whole 'there may be issues, so i think i'll wait - don't want to brick my phone' line of thought. good luck when you get there. i'm sure you'll be fine if you follow the various guides posted on here. they worked an absolute treat for me (and i'm the definition of n00b).

RCmix HD is saying about the same that the wiping isn't working or something.

So basically I'm screwed? Since I need to downgrade to root, and to backup you need to have root >.< but when you downgrade you lose everything xD
I will try it tonight ._.
If you want to back up the new GB OTA ROM then yes but if you just want to back up your apps then No, you don't need root.
Titanium works with root but doesn't need it. Also, if you ticked to let Google keep a backup then your apps will be re-downloaded when you next perform a wipe.

Using Windoze is great....
One word for you: Linux.
At the risk of high jacking this thread, have you installed HTC Sync? Can you connect to HTC Sync? If not, try another USB port (if using front port use back ports or vice-versa). If none work uninstall HTC Sync and reinstall it after rebooting PC.
If that works when you are in adb (making sure USB Debugging is on) try
Code:
adb devices
Do you get a result?

We've gotten alot of response from the Desire community so thank you all for your help. At this time we do not need any more testers for the desire. BootManager should be updated with support for the Htc Desire in the next few days. The app currently won't support rom's that use apps2sd and data2sd but our team is working on getting support for those as well. Thanks.
Hey guys my team has developed an app called bootmanager which went into the market today. The app let's you install rom's to your sdcard and boot between them. I had originally done an inc only version here that used your recovery for installing rom's. The new app installs the rom's directly through the app and then let's you boot between them. Anyway on to the point of this post...i'm looking for 1 or 2 beta testers to add support for the desire. You'll need a little knowledge of adb, root of course, and just a little bit of patience. So far has worked pretty well on every htc device wev'e tried so I'm confident we can add support for the desire as well. You can get a little more info about the app from the link in my sig or looking at it in the market. If your interested pm me so I can get the info needed for the desire(.i.e partition sizes and a few other things that i'll tell you how to find in adb) and I'll send the apk for you to try. Thanks for your help....
Very interesting app! Would hboot have to be compatible (ie right size) with all the installed roms or as they are installed to SD does it not matter?

by hboot your refferring to the bootloader? This doesn't change the bootloader. It makes img's on your sdcard which hold your system/data/cache files for the rom, then it edits the boot.img for that rom to point to those img's when booting. Then the app flashes the boot.img for the rom you want to boot too.
I would be very interested in trying this out as I pretty much change my ROM on a daily to weekly basis haha, I just can't stop! This would be a good way to nurture my need for all the ROMs I switch between all of the time.
Would this app work on a non rooted phone? I mean having the stock ROM in the phone and a rooted one on the SDcard. But I guess it wouln't...

No you need an unlocked bootloader to switch the boot.img. And root to do a number of other things involved in setting up the rom.

Once you go MIUI you don't go back I can't bring myself to use anything else LOL!
Oh I tried MIUI-XJ, it's nice to know that you're happy with it ^^ I used it for about three to four days and felt that I was using an iPhone more so than an Android and I prefer the feel/look of Android devices... I loved being able to theme it so easily, though. I like the transparency mods in NeoPhyte ROMs and bits and pieces of many others... I should just figure out how to make my own.
I hope that you got my response, Conap! My sent items folder said I hadn't sent anything but I am most positive that I did so I will wait to hear back from you =D.
Yeah, sure I could help with the testing... Do you want somebody with that knows ADB etc..?
got Miui XJ on phone rom and tried to boot CM7.
working without problems so far!
thank you. gonna look into this now
Should we run the update after the rom has been installed, so it updates the boot.img ? Haven't tried running the update.zip directly from bootmanager yet, but works fine from recovery.
Installed MIUI-108050 on my HTC Desire (stock boot/S-ON)
looks fantastic....im new to android and my desire but i am currently using neo's reflex s rom and i love it...i really want to try MIUI but i love reflex!
Gonna sticky this thread, keep up the hard work

I CANT flash any rom on my desire,
thried ext2 and ext4 for all roms, tried the one with a2sd and also tried the roms without a2sd (miui au)
all will fail with this dialog appear "does this rom support ext2?" , and the i can only press 'okay' , then it will clean itself....
whats wrong herre?
maybe not compatible with sense based rom? cuz according to the replies here, only aosp roms seem to work
I have tried searhing and I havent found anything like this, so I hope im not in trouble for asking...
Has anyone made or would like to make a custom sense rom with just a few extra apps?
The main reason I am asking is because you cannot access a file manager by downloading from windows to you sd card (you have no option to either download from Andriod Market or using the sync, which doesnt work for me)
Basically I looking for a ROM that is exactly like HTC Sense but has a file manager and a few other apps by default...
Like the ultra bright torch app and the you tube and Iplayer app.
You can alsways use roms that are already out there, but you usually loose the widgets the come with the stock HTC Sense, plus I miss the facebook streams.
Anyways, the main app it need installed is the superuser app and a good (free) file manager, anyone wish to help or comment?
Also, my phone is rooted with the HBoot 001 version, and I have heard roumours that if you upgrade to 2.2.2 then you can no longer root your phone, and since i am getting into hacking and rooting the widfire, I really dont want to loose the functions!
I hope this will start a healthy thread, as most of my threads dont!
Thanks, Keith
you can sideload apps from windows to your phone using sideloader machine for example
- If you are on HBoot 1.01.0001, you already are on Android 2.2.1 (There is no 2.2.2). While official 2.2.1 was not rootable some months back, after the release of AlphaRev / Revolutionary, it is possible.
- Apps can be installed via ADB also. One such guide is here:
http://voxigee.wordpress.com/2010/02/28/using-adb-to-install-applications/
And a Video Tutorial here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27HIDvjdUFM
- Also, Stock Froyo ROM with Superuser can be found here: (Get the Rooted Version). After you install this, you can install the File Manager using the guides above.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877977
- Lastly, for such a simplistic ROM Creations, you can use the DSIXDA Kitchen to cook a ROM yourself. Its easy, and you can add and remove exactly what you want.

2) Install a sweet custom rom

How do i do it? sorry for the noob-ness....
If you just want to get rid of bloatware install any type of root explorer (many would suggest titanium backup) and delete the app from your system app folder.
As for a custom rom there are plenty to choose from just make sure you have a custom recovery and make a back up then flash away.
Oh and also I believe this should be in Q&A

Download titanium backup & make a backup first of all ur files before u start deleting them through titanium backup so incase u deleted a wrong app u can easily restore it back. When u want to delete thru titanium backup go to the back/restore and click on app to delete or freeze.

Rooting your phone means everything and anything you want to do with it you can do. From tweaks to themes. Make your phone look and do exactly how you want it to .
Throw it out a window and buy yourself another one. Repeat the process.

Be brave, but remember to be smart! Nandroids are awesome, Save your a$$, and only take a few minutes... I recommend trying out several roms in a row, starting fresh on all of them knowing you can go straight back to where you are now with a Nandroid backup from recovery. You'll find something you like and it'll be all yours! Have fun and good luck oh yeah, after you find a rom you like, experiment with custom kernels... I like ktoonsez a lot, but some swear by faux. U gotta try and find ones you like.
Edit: one more thing, when you're flashing a rom, sometimes it takes longer than you expected... And it's hard to be patient... But things will always be OK if you're patient enough. Worst case scenario if something happens, which it rarely does, you simply Odin back to stock and start over again

I've found that stock rom rooted is perfect. Download rom toolbox by jrummy and freeze stuff you don't want. Deleting it outright is dangerous. My only reason for rooting was an ad blocker. Have fun!
