Hi lovely people,
I'd like to install CM13 on my HTC Desire S S510e. I have found way too many different instructions on how to proceed and I was wondering if there's a simple, step-by-step (I really mean step-by-step) guide on how to do it. By now, as far as I understand I should:
1. S-OFF my phone (although I heard it's possible to install a custom rom even with S-ON?). I've read that you can do it using HTCDev or Alpharev. However the HTC Desire S doesn't appear on the list of supported devices in the first link. Which device should I select from the list? On the other hand, the Alpharev website says that Alpharev is deprecated and one should use Revolutionary but the Revolutionary website is empty. Finally a more general question: what's the benefit of using HTCDev or Alpharev?
2. Flash sagaopt TWRP 2.8.7.1. I use ArchLinux. In Linux I'd have to install android-tools to have adb and fastboot, then do "adb reboot bootloader" followed by "fastboot flash recovery TWRP-recovery-sagaopt-2.8.7.1.img"? Or do I have to first install an older version of TWRP to convert my sdcard to EXT4 to then install the sagaopt 2.8.7.1 version?
3. Use TWRP to convert my sdcard to EXT4.
4. Install cm-13.0-XXXXXXXX-UNOFFICIAL-sagaopt.zip and gapps by putting the files into the sdcard using adb (what's the command to do this?) and then flash the files using TWRP.
What steps am I missing? What are the perils? What should I be particularly careful with?
Please help me understand and condense the heaps of information found in this forum.
Thanks,
Ricardo
