I know this probably should be in the "All things Root" section, but thought I'd share it here... My Ascend G510 phone was slowing, bogged down with apps chewing on the 393MB of available RAM. The phone would often lag at the most simple of tasks, such as sending a text. Being rooted, I...

Hi there, The G510 is a budget phone with some really good things going for it, such as screen size, dual-core CPU and a half-decent battery. What the Phone lacks is RAM. I've had to admit that this thing can't play some games. However, that doesn't mean I leave it at that. I suggest getting...

Hi all, After a few years solid use, it is time for my Desire S retirement. Don't get me wrong, the phone has been great, but the WiFi faulted and wouldn't connect. Now it doesn't even find any signals at all :( 3G isn't enough for me as I do occasionally download larger apps, games and...

Majorly edited since posting... Warning! If you use the RUU mentioned herewith, know that you can't very easily go back to your old GB RUU. Downgrading the build number is possible, but impossible unless gain superuser rights on your phone. For details on how to downgrade, refer to "+ How to...

Sorry, This thread became a victim of change; THE GUIDE WAS CUT OFF and has now been restored from a word doc on my drive. It ain't fancy like it used to be though :( Warning! Using HTCdev: Even after wiping and flashing a fresh RUU, the bootloader will display "*** RELOCKED ***". HTC will...

So I've come to androidforums.com, looking for someplace to share details on how I managed to get root and install a ROM on my Desire S with hboot 2.00.0002 and S-ON. So what brought me to root the Desire S? Impatience with the slow delayed ICS rollout here in Australia, and the inability to...
