Wow this has been the most helpful phone yet in the Beta Testing...Unfortunatley at this time we have more then enough testers for the DHD. Thank you guys and support for DHD should be in the app soon
My team has developed an app for multibooting android rom's from the sd. We are looking for Beta Testers for the DesireHD. The app is called BootManager and is in the market. It currently supports HTC Incredible, Moto D1, Htc Vision, Htc Thunderbolt. We want to expand the devices but need testers. It should work for all htc phones with root and s-off but we need some variables for your specific devices. If you are interested you can pm me with the following info:
Partition sizes for system,data, and cache. You can find these by typing busybox df -h in adb shell or a terminal.
Gmail address you use for the market: We need this to add you as a tester to our market account so that you pass the license verification without having to purchase the app.
If you are interested in testing this app just send me the info and I can put it into our app and send you a copy to test. The app allows you to install up to 4 rom's on sd plus the one on the phone and boot between them. More info is available at our website in my sig.
We would appreciate any help we can get on improving our app!!
Amazing stuff guys.
Can't wait to test
Absolutely brilliant!! , I can't hold my excitement any longer
This is definitely going to get very popular very fast within the dhd community, especially with all the fantastic ROM's and kernels being released here so frequently
Thank you again for all your hard work into getting such a brilliant feature out to the masses,
Keep up the excellent work m8,
Take care buddy

I've purchased from the market since I couldn't wait to test but I need a couple of things clarifying.
1) How to I check my SD block?
2) When it over rides my usb connection to computer, I can't access my SD card through computer due to the changes boot manager made.
Also, am I right in thinking we should enter system, cache, data and SD Block as megabytes?
A little help please.
Can't wait to test this fully
sounds great.would you still be able to flash addons for the roms on the sd ??
ps i've sent the info

thanks guys. i am having a mind block here...if I install a new ROM with ROM Manager, that new ROM will not have BootManager. Are u guys backing up BM and then restoring once the new ROM is applied? and then saving that new ROM with the BM installed?

hiya m8, any rom u flash via CWM or 4ext recovery [phone rom] will be stock apps supplied with that rom, so you will need to install Boot Manager again, either by backup [titanium etc] or via the apk.
any rom installed to sdcard [rom1,rom2 etc] using boot manager will have boot manager access straight away so no need to install
hope this helps buddy
edit... also if you have been given the apk file for the DHD beta, then it should have the values for the DHD already [when boot manager first runs it shouldnt say unsupported device and ask for entries, but if you want to save a little space you can edit the values for smaller data.img as default is 1.12gb ]

Yep, tried that but for some reason it's fidgety. It takes a few goes to make it accessible from my computer but it does get there eventually. Maybe there's a knack to it that I haven't caught on to yet.
Have you been successful yet?
I'm still getting FC's trying to install roms.
Could you share your initial setup with me.
I'm confused by "SD block". Not sure whether they are wanting location, size of SD, size of clusters. It also doesn't state what units to use ie Gb, Mb, Mib.
I really hope I can get this working, it's such a great concept.
Thanks for your answer
ORIGINAL POST BY spookamiester [ i owe u buddy ]
Ok, so to help everybody out a little, here is word for word my response from init2winitapps
"the sdcard block for dhd is /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 also just to double check
device should be spade
system size should be 550 (which is mb but just enter the numbers)
data size should be 1150
cache size should be 296
Those numbers don't have to be exact but should be close to those"
Hope it works out for everyone!

lol np buddy im pretty sure sdcard block is the 'mount' for sdcard on our DHD's, just before i was given the apk with the values built in, i was using the following.... [PLEASE IF I HAVE GIVEN ANY INCORRECT DETAILS PLEASE CORRECT ME! ]
SYSTEM > 550MB
DATA > 1120MB
CACHE > 296MB
SDCARD BLOCK > 179 : 65 [PLEASE TELL ME IF THIS IS INCORRECT ]

I realy dont think so, but i leave no guarantie! if i had an wildfire i would have tryd it my self. I realy think i would have root on a wildfire if i just had it in my hand for a while
any tried this one yet ? I sooo wan to try but im not sure as it could brick my phone.. if it does.. I get no warranty rigth(pretty sure im not)?
Doesn't work (I think)..
When I try to flash the recovery provided by the ROM Manager, I get the verification failed error and it stops.. Just like with the guide Paul from modaco posted before he pulled it because it wasn't working..
damn!
realy hoped it should work. anyone of you running linux?
maybe i have to pick a phone out from a shop, try to root it and then return it unrooted.
Yeah, shame really..
Any idea why the verification would fail?
Not running linux, but I could set up a VM if you need something specific from someone with a wildfire.. (Though I probably would need detailed instructions as to what you want me to do, been a long time since I last used ubuntu)
danne_jo:
I have a Gentoo and an Ubuntu on a machines running, and i can setup anyone distri in virtualbox. What do you need?
I also can setup you a $YOUR_DISTRI in VirtualBox for you and give you ssh with root.
Btw can't find a Rom Manager in the market. Tried everything RomManager rommanager Rom Manager
You can have it with appbrain and fast web installer.
i will keep looking into this!
but its hard when i dont have a wildfire in my hands my self.
im sorry if i gave you false hope on this.

Hi,
Just tested this - bug at line 13 on trying to set permissions of DATA - probably related to a2sd - did I need to partition my sdcard first?
Best,
Martin
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Row 13 in the script does this:
set_perm 0 0 0777 DATA:a2sd
So i belive as you self belive it depends on your SD-card. Try to partition you card. To something similar to this:
swap = 0mb
ext = 256-512mb
upgrade ext2 to ext3 (if you have this option)
and then wipe your phone, and reflash. if it doesent work we go from there. But i cant see anything woring with the script if wildfire work as the other HTC models.
Thanx for trying. if we dont manage to make this work i will make a rom that doesent use app2sd at start.
Regards Daniel
*Edit* did found that bugg! But you should realy have the sd partionated as i wrote before anyway
Will remake rom right now.
Great - if you post it up I'll test later!
If we can sort all hardware issues it will be a great start for other devs.

You can't until root is generally available.
I'm testing this now -- currently copying files at 50% and all is well ;P
Ok, flashed ROM, installation succeeds.
However, the ROM will not boot. Stuck at HTC loading screen.
I am unable to diagnose the problem because, at present, there is no /system/bin/sh executable, so can't connect via adb to see the log (even adb logcat relies on this).
I would recommend symlinking bash to /system/bin/sh so this can be done.
I've accidentally just started restoring a nandroid backup, but when that's done will wipe, re-apply update, symlink sh -> bash and try again.

What can we say? finaly
This will be included in or as a package in my rom(s)
(will update with more info after a night with sleep)
I cant seem to get it to work . I did notice that on the device compatibility list there are two different types of wildfire listed , one with an MSM72K usb controller and then another one with an msm_hsusb controller . Im not sure but i think that could be the reason its not working for me .
When i flash the zip it does disable all usb connections like its supposed to but after launching psfreedom.ko via terminal and following the instructions on the ps3 side it does nothing lol.
Ok got if working after flashing v6 puzzlerom , can't backup any games so i guess this is the version with backups disabled .
Can confirm, it works
A flash to disable would be fine, flashing back the nadroid backup takes to long
Can make backups but can't start.
Please can someone make a How'to or a patched version with enabled Backup support.

Hey all. I don't even have a wildfire and I'm translating this for the good of the community out of the kindness of my heart! (I've got a desire though!). Oh and it's italian not spanish but you can be forgiven for that. The two are so similar that I can translate it even although I don't speak any italian whatsoever (only spanish which is why I decided to translate this in the first place!)

[Exclusive] Port of PSFredom (for) your HTC Wildfire.
POSTED BY MRNAMELESS ON SETTEMBRE - 7 - 2010
(Translated by MrVarioII)
Thanks to the members of our team, Alephzein (thank you!), we now have the ability to use PSFreedom with your HTC Wildfire.
Follow the instructions and link below.
Prerequisites:
HTC Wildfire (with root)
questo file.zip
a terminal emulator app
Installation guide:
Download the zip file
Extract the zip file to your desktop.
Copy the file 'signed_090710_225229.zip' to your Wildfire's SDcard
Go to recovery
Perform a Nandroid Backup
Select the option "Choose zip from sdcard"
Select "signed_090710_225229.zip" previously copied to the SD.
Restart the phone.
Open terminal editor and issue the command:
-
su
- insmod /system/lib/modules/psfreedom.ko
Now we goto the PS3:
Playstation3 FAT: Switch off the console using the switch at the back.
Playstation 3 Slim: Unplug the powercable at the back of the console.
Disconnect any devices attached to the PS3 via USB.
Connect the 'Nexus One' to the PS3 (assume he means wildfire???)
Restart the PS3.
Press (or tap on the ps3 fat) the power button next quickly touch/press eject.
Enjoy your Jailbroken PS3!
hehe thank you!
sorry, i was tired last night and dident noticed it was on italian. but give me a slize of ham and i will tell you the diffrance between "Prosciutto di Parma" and "Jamón Serrano" in my sleep
Hi,
Since I am an android noob deluxe i wondered if anyone can redirect me to a guide to rooting the wildfire (as I imagine that is needed to use the PSFreedom).
I saw that there were some guides on this site but I don't know which one to use (my head is spinning with bootloaders and roms at the moment).
(Slaps myself, so that you dont have to, since im guessing this is a dumb question that has been asked 10 000 times before)
Thanks,
After a little testing I enabled Backup support.
It's quite simple.
open the psfreedom.ko in signed_090710_225229.zip with any Hex Editor and search for dev_xxxx and replace with dev_bdvd. Now Backup should work
Problem running psfreedom.ko
Hi, i am running a rooted wildfire with unrevoked. After installing the zip with recovery. I enter the code into a terminal. But, it says "can't open /system/lib/modules/psfreedom.ko". Thanks for the help.
I hack my PS3 using dingoo and PSfreedom, I install PS3 backup manager and PS3 FTP server
I order teensy++ dongle to use it with PSGroove
I think that this guide is the same for NexusOne and HTC Desire, also check the known Bugs:
Known bugs:
* This will disable wi-fi untill the original boot.img is flashed back.
* This will also disable USB mass storage.

Hi, after 2 nights of strugling i managed to root my phone, using unrevoked.
Got Recoverymod running.
Made a backup in the Nandroid part of the menu.
But i keep getting the error "No sd-ext found. Skipping backup of sd-ext".
Is it still okay for me to continue flashing the Psfreedom.
And would Restoring still work even though i got this error.
Or how can i fix this error?
Thanks in advance.

I have searched a lot, spent time trying to figure everything out.
I have Hero that I am trying to make BA for my little bro. I have the evo now. Rooted and tethering. Not much else I need to mess with on it. Fast enough for me. But my old hero is now rooted and has the app to tether. I can't figure out how the heck to over clock it. It is slow and I want to kick it up a couple notches for him.
I have searched and all the codes that you guys use at the top throw the searches off, or maybe I am searching for the wrong thing.
Any links to other threads would be great. That way when someone else searches just over clocking like I did it will come to this thread and then link to the useful threads.
Thanks in advanced.
I see you are rooted already, is the phone running a stock rom? If so think about installing [ROM] cyanogenMod 6.1 stable (<<<<search). Then you flash a [Kernel] [GPL] DecaFuct [2.6.29.6] (<<<<search) and install a app called OverClock Widget, it is easier to use than the other one you can use called SetCPU. Thats pretty much it, somebody may chime in that can put a few links up but I am on my phone right now so I cant.
DecaFuct Max 768Mhz Kernel
DecaFyct Max 698Mhz Kernel

These are JayBob's CM6.2 ROM Downloads.
Okay, so I need to back up my phone? Can I use the app on the android market MyBackup by Rerwarre, LLC? Then I need to download the files you linked me to in this thread? And then what?
Okay. I am sure you are all tired of hearing from me. But I am going to flash a ROM that has a over clock on it. I have a question tho. When I download the files. It unzips them. By that I mean I can open the folder and explore all of the files. Does this make it impossible to load that ROM? Thanks for your quick responses in advanced.
You dont want the file unzipped. Leave it zipped and put it on the root of SD card, that means just on the SD card, not in another file. Then reboot into recovery by powering phone off, then hold down the power button and the home button at the same time, keep them down until recovery comes on. If a white page comes up instead of recovery that says clear storage, pull battery and try again. Once in recovery you should see a few options. Nandroid, select this by clicking track ball while highlighted, this will back up your current system. After that choose install zip from SD card, then select the rom you loaded on SD card. After is says done, choose reboot system now. Then find Gapps 12-18-2010, I think those are the latest ones. Put them on root of SD like you did the rom and reboot into recovery the same way, choose the install zip from SD and select the Gapp file. Then reboot system amd you will set phone up with google like you did when it was new. You can then install one of the kernels linked for you, I recommend the 768 one, download OverClock Widget from the market and set it to 748, if your phone reboots for no reason lower that to 729, 710, wherever it becomes stable for you.
Okay, I did nandroid, I cleared everything, and I loaded the zip'd file ( I was trying to say earlier it is my mac's default action to un zip the file when it downloads. So I re compressed it. This might be attributing to my later problems) ANd then I rebooted. And it looks and behaves exactly the same as before.
Any pointers or ideas why it did this?

Since you re compressed it, it may need to be resigned before flashing. I could be wrong though
What does resigned mean?
ANybody have any idea why my ROMS arent loading at all?
Not quite sure if this will work on mac, you may need to find a XP pc to do this from. Here is a link to a zip signer though, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805766&highlight=zip+signer
Another thought...
Can you download the rom using the phone, then move file from download folder to root of SD card, using a file manager such as Astro or even better E Strongs File Explorer? I have read where some members have rooted, installed roms, kernels, theme, with no PC at all.
awesome idea on doing it from my phone. I didn't know it was a Mac problem. I can just run boot camp and boot up my mac with windows OS and try it on that. Thanks again.
Okay, i am trying to do it all from the phone. But the file is too large for the phones memory. And I can't figure out how to download righto the SD card. Any pointers here?

I just go to settings then cyanogenmod settings then application settings & it will let you choose
The factory ROM trying to get the first custom one loaded.
use the xda app and navigate to the thread that has the rom you want to install. from there click the link of the rom and it will go to SD card in a file called downloads. after completed plug phone into PC/mac and move that file/rom to root of SD card. Then reboot recovery and flash, done. There are literally 100+ threads on installing a rom, search, read, learn. What recovery do you have installed?
Okay downloading it to my Windows 7 bootcamp worked like a charm. I did the red dawn ROM. Isn't that one already over clocked?

Hi.

I would install market and Astro filemanager.
But I got info that they already was installed.
I cannot see them in the Application->Manage applications
It tells me, that " you don't have any third party apps installed".
I had the idea, that the GT540 is rooted, but obvciously not, as I cannot install apk's using the adb command.
Beside this, I also have this:
process com.android.vending issue.
What can I do?

You've missed the forum, this should be in General or Themes and Apps forum.
You haven't stated what ROM are you using.
Are you trying to install Astro via Play Store or from apk on sd card?
com.android.vending is a Google Play Store app, has it updated itself or is still Market?

I'm not sure what ROM I'm using. It's the dafault one, as it has not been modified, but Don't know. How to see it?.
It's an LG GT540 I use.
Iwould install it from apk on SD card, but due to a reason I don't know, I cannot get adb to work.
It tells me, that device not found.
I have formatted the SD card with FAT32, and now I cannot see the system path.

For recovery and fastboot look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1224747
I'm not sure what puzzled me, but now all is working.
I did an factory reset -one of an enormeus lot-, and after all worked again.
Now I can go to Market and do all what I want.
Thanks for the link to recovery and fastboot.
Will save the link for future use.
So for now, thanks for all your comments and great infos.
They are much appreciated
Wiki with more information about this ROM: http://www.urgero.org/AdvancedStock626
CRICKET USERS:
This ROM works for Cricket Variant phones now.
APN's for Cricket are not enabled in this ROM yet, so follow these instructions to setup the APN's for data & MMS.
Play Store might crash some times, or on first boot, clear the play stores and google service cache in settings
This ROM does not, and will not have Crickets carrier apks.
Take caution using this ROM, I do not have cricket, I have MetroPCS so I cannot test this ROM on Cricket devices.
This ROM for ALL cricket users will require the boot.img linked in the downloads below to get WiFi working properly until further notice.
Instructions for install are the same for MetroPCS AND Cricket users.
Enjoy!
****Version 5 now has some CM12 applications, please enjoy them, I also made slight changes to the libs folder, su.d folder, and added new libs to prep for the CM12 Hybrid rom
Download Links:
THIS IS NOT A FLASHABLE ZIP, YOU MUST RESTORE IT FROM TWRP RECOVERY!!!!
Debloated and Rooted System Image(TWRP)(Ver. 5):http://www.mediafire.com/download/k7zfvdf6efr74ni/AdvancedStock626_V5.zip****IF UPDATING FROM A PREVIOUS VERSION YOU MUST CLEAR CACHE/DALVIK CACHE!!!!***
My Kernel backed up from TWRP: https://www.mediafire.com/?z1697u7dtpfwow1(ONLY DOWNLOAD IF YOU HAVE WIFI ISSUES AND MADE A PROPER BACKUP BEFORE HAND!!!!!!!)
Also: you will need 7-zip to unpack this file: http://www.7-zip.org/
For those who have been asking for this: MetroPCS Device Unlock App (Took it off a display model for ya guys )(NOTE: Might need to be installed as a system app! Read the bottom of this post for more info!) (NOTE2: It might need some libs files to install properly, I am working on getting those too.)
****WARNINGS****
If you upgraded your phone past 1.06.1550.7 this firmware will BREAK WiFi!!!!
You always run the risk of bricking a device when using non-oem firmware.
Although I have tested this extensively (And currently using it as my Daily Driver) expect bugs since some important HTC have been removed.
Your kernel version MUST be at 3.10.49-perf-g1363ba7 (Only kernel that has been reported to work properly on this device with THIS firmware so far.)
The RUU in case something goes wrong: http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_A32E_UL_L51_DESIRE_SENSE70_MetroPCS_US_1.23.1550.3.exe
THIS IS NOT A FLASHABLE ZIP, YOU MUST RESTORE IT FROM TWRP RECOVERY!!!!
How to Restore The New System Image:
If upgrading from a previous version, please be sure to Wipe Cache/Dalvik Cache before rebooting to make sure new system apps, and tweaks are properly used.
Download the system image from the link above
Extract the zip file to your external SD Card: (Example: Phone:\Ext_sd\TWRP\backups\)
Reboot into download mode (Vol Down + Pwr)
Select "Reboot into bootloader"
Select "Reboot into Recovery"
Make sure System Read only is not enabled in Mount settings.
Select "Restore" -> Select the Folder you just put on your external SD Card
Wait for a few minutes.
After that is done, go back to the recovery home
Then select "Wipe"
Select "Data", "Cache", and "Dalvick Cache", and "Internal Storage" ONLY (
IF UPDATING FROM A PREVIOUS VERSION YOU MUST CLEAR CACHE/DALVIK CACHE!!!!)
Slide to wipe.
Then reboot.
Follow android setup as normal
Profit.
Some notes about this Custom Stock ROM:
I could not remove everything because the device itself is using HTC's Framework so some apps had to stay
HTC Launcher is removed, giving up 100MB+ of space.
Some HTC Apps have been removed
New Launcher put in (CM Launcher)(NOT TREBUCHET FROM CM12)
Lots of google apps removed
HTC Keyboard stayed because it was the only keyboard I found that will be active natively out of the box on this ROM (Dont know why)
AdBlocker added
Rooted with SuperSU from Chainfire
about 3.6GB of free space BEFORE system does app updates, and about 2.7GB free AFTER the updates. so still pretty good amount of space left on the phone after.
Super smooth bootup time (About 30 sec or less for me.)
THIS IS NOT A FLASHABLE ZIP, YOU MUST RESTORE IT FROM TWRP RECOVERY!!!!
Solving misc issues with the ROM:
You can attempt to flash the boot.img I have linked above to resolve the wifi BUT MAKE A FRICKING BACKUP FIRST BEFORE YOU DO THAT!!!!
APN Fix (MMS/LTE/TETHER): https://www.mediafire.com/?5b9q589337n8gaq This file needs to be restored with APN Backup&Restore. To do this you need to convert APN Backup & Restore into a system app then restore the XML file you downloaded.
Installing the Device Unlock app: Copy the apk to /system/priv-app/DeviceUnlock. If that folder does not exist, feel free to make it and put the APK there.

In theory it should, but to my understanding the TMO variant and the MetroPCS variant run different kernels, but if you have a working backup then trying can't hurt!
If you can give me the hardware specs and a copy of your system partition then I can see if they would be compatible.
Awesome, if you need any help or even a tester, I'd be glad to help out
if you need a tester let me know.
I think I will need a couple testers, I am planning on releasing a beta system.img (For fastboot: fastboot flash system system.img)
Should be easy, this system.img will just overwrite your current system image. You will need to have an unlocked bootloader for fastboot flash to work properly and you will need to know any tweaks that have been made will be overwritten. I will work on getting a flashable zip ASAP.
Would be happy to test and provide results
my bootloader is unlocked and it would be s-off but when i purchased the key from sunshine the program wasn't working with the metropcs firmware even tho it said it was compatible. just let me know when u get the flash-able files.
Can't wait to try or test I'm game
I am almost done compiling a list of files that can be removed,then I will be removing the files from a base system.img file. After that I will be *hopefully* resizing the default partition table on the phone to give us the maximum amount of space possible for this device.

thats good. my phone is already almost maxed out of space and most of my apps are on my sd card already. i have like 7.35gb used of the 8.00gb the phone has because of all the stock apps that keep getting updated.
all these people shouting "I'll test" are obnoxious.. I'm just saying.
its like a hot chick asking you if you wanna stick it in her butt.. uhhhh , all the time..

I am a little behind schedule because of work so the ROM release will be mid next week.
I can certainly attempt, but if someone with experience could not do it, chances are I will not be able to do it.
Plus Xposed is still very buggy for Lollipop ROMS (Ours is 5.1)
Fwiw, xposed ran totally fine on my old s2 on all of the lollipop roms (5.0 and 5.1) that I installed. Don't let potential bugs discourage you. Thanks for all of your efforts. Best of luck!
