When you're on the
recovery bootloader, the top line on your screen will tell you if you're S-OFF and you partition scheme (N1Table / Bravo Stock...).
S-OFF:
http://alpharev.nl/alpharev.iso: this is an ISO file to burn on a CD.
I know it's not ecological, but for me it's the safer way to do it. You need to be S-OFF to change the partition scheme, so that's a preliminary step.
What is N1TABLE: as the name suggests, this will change the partitions scheme on your Desire for the N1 ones. The changes are a bigger data partition (to hold your apps, you'll get 203Mb vs 152Mb for the HTC standard) and a bigger cache partition (to hold ongoing processes, for instance more apps can remain in memory). The system partition will be reduced (149Mb vs 258Mb) which is enough for AOSP ROMs (but forget the Sense ROMs with that).
You can still later on change again the partition scheme.
How to get it ?
That simple, follow the steps on the Alpharev page:
http://alpharev.nl/, below the table with the differents partitions schemes. The only requirement is to have "fastboot" which can be found in the Android SDK.
Always verify each file you downloaded, if not and a file is corrupted, you will brick your phone (good to hold books on a shelf, but quite expensive). It does not take a long time to do this (in my case, less than half an hour with a complete restore of the ROM and a restart of it), but make sure you have plenty of time before to start, in case you have a problem and as when in a hurry it more likely to do something wrong.
I hope this will makes things more clear and be usefull, somehow.
I'm not a specialist, so if I wrote something wrong, feel free to correct this. I wrote that bearing in mind this was for someone new to this so I might have not choose the proper words or might have simplified too much.
