[Q] Is it possible to install MIUI on official 2.3.5 (Sense 3.5) update?

---

Hello,

first of all, sorry for being a noob, I hope this question wasn't asked anywhere else (I checked but couldn't find anything about it)

I bought the DS about 4 Months ago and really, I love it. Still, I would like to tweak it a little bit and give MIUI a try! BUT I'm reaaaally afraid of screwing my phone up! (I had a HTC Magic which I rooted and flashed several times but here it seems to be a totally different operation).

Here are my questions:
1) Is MIUI installable on UPDATED (Android 2.3.5 and Sense 3.5) HTC Desire S with OFFICIAL HTC OTA update yet?

2) Is it possible to backup my files and fallback to my old settings easily?

3) Is the battery life convincing on MIUI? (I feel great with 2 days of middle-intensity use.)

4) Could someone guide me through every different steps? There are so much links everywhere I dunno where to look and I'm afraid to miss important things etc. etc. This would really be so much appreciated and after that I could do a toppic (if needed) with every information concentrated for noobs like me ;)



Thanks in advance!
Thomas

PS: sorry for my english!

1.MIUI is completely different rom and u can install whatever Sense rom u have.
2.yes.Use nandroid backup or Titanium backup for apps
3.battery life is good on miui.
4.for this one u need to use search.i'll just give u this link to start http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1146601

Thanks a lot for that fast answer, iI'll take a look at that and come back if there are things I'm hesitating about!

Little question: I know it's a different rom, I meant, is it possible to S-Off and root Updated HTC Desire S and then Flahs MIUI yet? Considering it's been updated the official way ^^

EDIT:

Okay so, if I get it right: I need

1) to S-Off (if my updated device doesn't fit the conditions it should be refused on revolutionary website)

2) to ROOT (Gingerbreak or Superoneclick APKs)

3) Do I need to install a custom recovery? for example ClockWorkMod? (it's written in OUTDATED on the tutorial, is it a problem?)

4) Then I should be able to flash MIUI

Right?

Thanks a lot

Yep, you've got it

Thanks a lot!

I'd like to try rooting and flashing today but on Revolutionary page they say we need HTC Drivers for fastboot: they provide a download link which is dead, do you know where I can find them? To be sure not to download the wrong files?

EDIT: Files are back on, sorry!

Updated HTC Desire S is HBOOT 2.00.0002 which isn't supported by revolutionnary :( can't root for now...

Then you need to downgrade first.

Oh I think i'm starting to get it hehe

Is downgrading a simple operation or is it difficult? Shouldn't I wait for revolutionary to support my HBOOT? Will it take long? :P Sorry for being a noob but I really wanna do things well.

Thanks a lot for your answers!

its simple but please search and read all instructions.it takes 10 sec

Roger that !

Thanks a lot for your help !
