Default [Q] alpha rev s-off

Hi guys.

I tried to s-off my phone and it failed at the last step, I was waiting for the on screen instructions but they never appear, my phone just booted as normal.

How do I get the questions? I'm using the latest dl from alpha rev, currently on seb aio 5.0.4 with latest superuser. The only thing I can see is my rom isn't very stock, ie it takes ages to boot which I think caused it to time out waiting for the commands.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Just to clarify this isn't a brick fix, my phone is fine.

Hi
ROOTED STOCK ROM is highly recommended to prevent any problems... any data2sd script are not working... revert to stock and try again
One Black S-ON (stock for now)
One Silver S-ON (stock for now)
One X+ S-ON (Bindroid XTC+ - Bindroid kernel)

I had this problem the first time I s-off'd my Desire. I was using my laptop and it kept falling over. I then tried it on another tower pc I have and it worked like a charm. Strange because under normal Windows conditions the laptop USB worked normally.

Thanks guys, that's good to know, my rom is rooted but ill find a stock gingerbread to try and get it going. I did it from my tower PC, XP pro 32bit.

Does the version of super user or busy box matter?

Any advice on a good stock rom for it?

If you want a stock gingerbread then the HTC devs site has one that is fully stable although look around xda custom roms and see if one takes your fancy. If you are willing to go for an ICS rom then i would advise getting Sandvold's rom as it has been stable for me since the 4.2.1 update.

LeeDrOiD ROM was 'stock'-enough-ish for me to get my S-Off.
Did it on my Ubuntu box though which worked much better because of the drivers.
