Guest pignoli Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 I guess this is for people already rooted with S-ON? Looks like unrevoked gives S-OFF and root now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, you need to already have root for this to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unrevoked can only give you S-OFF on a CDMA Desire, not GSM, as far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spammyspam Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 So how does this affect MCR/general Rom development? In particular the various workarounds used to get around the NAND lock? Will we need new ROMs (possibly laid out differently)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest StuMcBill Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 On Windows 7 you can use EasyBCD to boot the ISO. Have you used this to flash? Did it go ok? I think I might use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In particular the various workarounds used to get around the NAND lock? Will we need new ROMs (possibly laid out differently)? Nope, the current ROM's still work and flash as per normal. No workarounds are used to get around the NAND lock when you flash a ROM anyway because the recovery automatically unlocks it whilst the ROM is flashed. All this does is allows you access to /system when the phone is booted and running, and disables verification checks on flash files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Grobie Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Just done mine and all went well, did not break the Rom or recovery as some people over at XDA reported. only took about 2 min. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But aren't bits of the custom ROMs placed in non-normal areas to get around the NAND lock during normal operation of the phone? Maybe I've just misunderstood things. What about things like mods etc? I assume they can now be applied more easily... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Subject Delta Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Quick question - does nandroid back-up HBOOT as well? I'm thinking about patching HBOOT as shown here then restoring everything through nandroid - will this overwrite the patched HBOOT? Iain Nandroid does not back up the radio or HBOOT, so you are safe on that front, however if you ever flash a RUU file, make sure you remove the HBOOT from the zip otherwise it will get overwritten. Hmm. But aren't bits of the custom ROMs placed in non-normal areas to get around the NAND lock during normal operation of the phone? Maybe I've just misunderstood things. What about things like mods etc? I assume they can now be applied more easily... Not to my knowledge, they are all placed on the usual system, user, and data partitions. I am not 100% certain on this, all I do know is that I performed a wipe after flashing this, and flashed the latest MCR R9 and it works exactly the same way as it did before, no hitches.

Guest snapilica Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Quick question. I've seen v1.2 is now on the site. If i've already got S-OFF with v1.1 do you need to use v1.2 again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spammyspam Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 cant seem to get passed the waiting for device at the start using VM any ideas You need to redirect USB to the VM. I'm not sure which VM you're using but in VirtualBox you right click the bottom right hand USB icon and click the HTC device. You may have to add filters in the VM settings before booting. You will have to do this each time the device reboots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, if you alredy have s-off, it´s the same only small bug fixes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rveupen Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 (edited) Whenever I wanted to format my sd and start all over I would put the phone in recovery and start adb-windows shell to run the following: adb-windows shell reboot recovery adb-windows shell parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 print rm 1 (delete 1 partition) rm 2 (delete 2 partition) And then partiton to my needs. After applying the s-off I cant seem to get into recovery anymore. I am using Pauls R9 WIP. Can anyone help me with this?

Had the same problem, I used android sdk tools to flash back recovery image true android SDK tools I did like this: 1. downloded amon_ra 1.7.0.1 R5.1, named it to amon 2. put it in android sdk tools, tools folder 3 Opend a command prompt in tools folder 4. got phone in fastboot mode, and connected it 5. typed: fastboot flash recovery amon.img Easy as that..

Thx a million for that...did the trick! Quick question (i know i can find it on this forum but would like your personal opinion) I always format with FAT32 first then EXT. But should I use a swap or not. On a Linux server that advice to use it. But the Desire is not Linux server. Do you use a swap partition or not?
