Please try restarting your PC and your phone, and then try again. May I know which HBOOT version are you using?hi........please please help,followed instructions with detail but when i enter key i just get INVALID BETA KEY.............aborting........ANY IDEAS
Your radio image will stay and will never go away after flashing a new ROM. The ROM won't change your radio, only you can change it. It is not required to flash a new radio if you're not experiencing any WiFi, mobile network, bluetooth, etc errors.Thanks for the guide, it really helped me through stuff.
I have succesfully s-off'd and rooted my phone and I would like to flash a custom rom. Do I need to worry about my radio image while flashing another rom or does my own radio image stay if I flash another rom? And what is the advantage of having another radio image installed?
Thanks in advanced!
I think some of the guides can be used. I'm not sure, check with the official thread for your phone.Does anyone know if this will work with an HTC desire z running android 2.3.3??
Thanks
I think I did explain, under "nandroid backup". Basically you can't recover anything after a full wipe/format if you did not backup.Explanation excactly what can be recovered (and of course how) after "full wipe/format and clear all cache" for new ROM?

hi
Currently have an issue with my Desire S. I tried to S-Off my phone.. the revolutionary stopped responding and was forced to close it. I thought it was working already since when i checked it says my phone is S-Off already. When I tried going to recovery mode, i got stuck when it showed the phone logo with exclamation point inside a triangle. can anyone please help me with this? thanks a lot
ive got s-off
ive downloaded a zip file - is this the right 1? (adlsoft_uncompressor_3_3_last)
put it on sd card
then i boot into recovery which is black and purple,WELL BETTER LOOKING THAN MY HD2 LOL.
install zip from sd card etc
The phone will look near enough the same, so she will probably never notice.
I don't know what the adlsoft_uncompressor_3_3_last this file is. so don't use it.
copy it onto your SD card
Boot to recovery
and then flash the file using flash ZIP from SD option
and voila!

FAQs:
1. What's S-OFF and S-ON?
- In a nutshell, S-OFF means that the NAND portion of the device is unlocked and can be written to. The default setting for HTC’s devices is S-ON, which means that neither can you access certain areas of the system nor can you guarantee a permanent root. (Source: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...on-htc-android-phones-with-unrevoked-forever/)
(NOTE: S-OFF is not ROOT, S-OFF your device does not mean that your device is Rooted. They are totally two different things.)
2. How can I backup all my apps and apps' data files before flashing a new ROM and wiping all my datas?
- You will need to root your device first using Gingerbreak(see above). And then, install Titanium Backup and use that to backup all your apps and your apps' data files.
3. I have WiFi death grip/Wifi signal drops when I hold my phone in certain ways.
- There are no 100% right fixes yet for this issue but give it a look here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1175646
4. Is it possible to install 4EXTRecovery/Flashing ROMs/ROOT on Desire S with S-ON?
- No, it is not possible. You must/need "S-OFF" to customize your device.
5. I've just received this system update OTA - 1.47.61.1 or later. If I install it, will I loose my S-OFF and root?
- Yes, you will lose both S-OFF and root once you update because it will update the hboot to 0.98.0002. However, you can try following this guide http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16110608&postcount=5 to update the OTA but not the hboot. Check this one out also http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1190992 and http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1194488 to S-OFF and root if you have updated the OTA.
6. How will I brick my device? and how to prevent it?
- Follow this thread to find out : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1226849
7. What is a "Stock ROM" ?
- Stock ROM is basically one that comes straight from HTC with no amendments and probably the one that your phone came with out of the box! -ben_pyett

Have an old Desire S I want to play with but
S-OFF your phone using Windows:
1. Download Revolutionary tool for Windows from http://revolutionary.io/ (Keep the browser open)
The website looks to be gone, does anyone have an alternative link to the Windows zip file.
I agree, general would be a better place for this thread.
In which case PM the moderator, smokestack76
