Ok guys, been reading lots of threads from here:
Desire, All Things Root Guide
Well, the thing is I'm about to buy the Desire (no previous owner, brand new factory unlocked) and I want to use the full potential of the phone by rooting and installing this ROM:
InsertCoin CM7 HBOOT 1.1.4-Kernel Update #2 Sense2.1+3.0GB
The one I want is the "A2SD CM7 HBOOT - cm7 hboot from alpharev.nl"
So as far as I understood, by reading the Guides and by reading the ROM requeriments what I need to do is the following:
-Rooting and Custom Recovery (Whichever depends on my phone, right? If not, then which one do you recommend? I know of two: AmonRa and CWR) ( S-OFF and ROOT HTC Desire with Revolutionary )
-S-OFF (included in the root tutorial)
-Titanium, nandroid, contacts, sms, etc. Backup (Basically, all my phone)
-EXT partition with Gparted for A2SD ( YouTube Video Tutorial ) Don't really know if this is up to date, found it somewhere in the All Things Root Guide
-Flash the CM7 HBoot to get more memory on the phone, because the ROM I want is A2SD, not A2SD+ (Couldn't find a guide on this one, help here!
)
-Flash a Kernel recommended by the ROM developer (Couldn't find much about this neither
)
I'm going to need help with the following:
-Order in which I should do the things above
-A little explanation in the AlphaRev's CM7 Hboot and S-OFF (simple, not too tech) because as far as I understood they are two completely different processes but these are developed by the same team (a little confused here,
)
-Tips, recommendations, etc.
-Will add more items as soon as I find anything more I need help with
Guys (and maybe Girls, why not?), thanks in advance. Awesome piece of forum you've got here!
Oh and sorry for my English, not my main language.
