S-off with currently rooted and cm7

---

Hi all :) firstly I just wanna say thanks so everyone that develops and creates amazing stuff for our phones on this site. Right to on to my question, I got my HTC desire a couple months ago, rooted it basically as I got it, with unrevoked, however, I'm still busy considering going s-off and I have a big question, I currently am running cm7 nightly, and clockworkmod 2.5.0.7, which got flashed during the unrevoked process, so my question is, is it safe to s-off with this? Or should I run an ruu first, and if it is safe, should I let alpharev install its custom recovery or not?

I did look around the forums, and couldn't find anything directly related to this, so any help is greatly appreciated :)

Thanks so much

I had such a mission trying to S-OFF - eventually, after asking around, I realized that the most common problems when trying to S-OFF come from two things:

A) S-OFF when a Gingerbread ROM is installed.
B) S-OFF in a rom that uses Apps2SD or Data2SD.

Eventually, I just downloaded a 2.2 RRU that had Root and S-OFF'd from that. Worked like an absolute charm. Don't worry, once you're S-OFF you can then flash a Gingerbread, Apps2SD ROM - but prior to this, rather use a stock, 2.2 rooted ROM. Unfortunately I can't remember where I downloaded it from, but it was from XDA. The filename was Bravo_WWE_2.29.405.5_v5.zip

Don't forget to familiarize yourself with Android SDK and Fastboot. Cyanogen have a fantastic Wiki on it: *can't get the full link, Internet is being lame. http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/ and search for Fastboot.*

ok thanks, quick thing, RUU's erase your current recovery right?
and with that, did you let alpharev install its custom recovery?
Thanks so much

Uhm, good question. I never really had the opportunity to tell. I told AlphaRev to install CWM-AlphaRev recovery, and there's no where between starting the S-OFF process and it being done and dusted to tell if the recovery layer is removed.

To elaborate:
ClockWorkMod, flash RRU.
Boot into RRU, start S-OFF.
S-OFF completes, CWM-AlphaRev is installed as recovery.

No where to tell if ClockWorkMod was removed

Ok so you just flashed your stock Rom from recovery and went from there? You didn't go through the whole pc ruu/fastboot process? Sorry for all the questions :)

Yup - ClockWorkMod, Full Wipe, install ZIP from SDCard, Bravo_WWE_2.29.405.5_v5.zip, Reboot phone in ROM, enable USB debugging, start the S-OFF Process.

I did need to use fastboot to flash AplhaRev Oxygen once S-OFF, as that's the partition sizes I wanted.

Ok thanks so much :)
