Okay so I just got this HTC Evo Shift 4g and rooted. I have to say the rooting process is a hassle, you know with s-off and everything. My questions is not how to port roms for it, I had many very successful ports before. My question is is it that easy? Like I port roms for samsung and varios chinese devices. Saying I had to do a whole lot extra with rooting, would I need to do other stuff for porting?
As a base rom I'm using htc evo shift unofficial cm10. I want to port this rom:

Can I just go ahead with porting, or afterwards add like the recovery or something (like radios)

Hi,
I just bought an HTC Hero off eBay today (still waiting for it) and it comes from T-Mobile but it's unlocked. However, I'm looking at debranding the phone and I want to install the original HTC ROM's instead of T-Mobile's.
I've been reading these forums and there are original HTC ROM's, original HTC but rooted ROM's, custom ROM's and etc... I'm not interested in the custom ones at the moment, I just want to get the original stuff for now, but without the T-Mobile branding. Also, this way, I can always be updated with the latest changes from HTC.
As far as I understand this, I'll have to root it at least once to install a new ROM right? And after that, maybe I should install the generic but rooted HTC ROM so that in the future I have the phone rooted already and everything's easier, correct? Is this the recommend approach or should I install the latest original and untouched HTC ROM?
For now I don't see many benefits from rooting the phone, and I think I just want to make things easier by using the original HTC ROM so that in the future I can use HTC own utilities (RUU I believe) to update the phone. In other others, I'm waiting eagerly for HTC update with Android 2.0 and I just want be able to install it directly from HTC when it comes out. I'll deal with rooting and custom firmwares later if I really see the need.
So, what's the best procedure to install the latest generic HTC ROM?

Hello all,

My question is simple. Hope somebody can help me out.

I want to install HTC Sense 3.5 on the phone without rooting the phone.
Is this possible ?
If so, can someone provide me a link to downloading the HTC Sense 3.5 ROM. I tries searching and I am not quite sure how to get the correct ROM which will work well. Also, I would like to have the HTC Sense 3.5 as clean as possible.
Is there any specific ROM that would give me a very clean experience ?
Can xda members also help me out on Ste-by-Step instructions to installing the new Sense 3.5 ROM to my phone ?
Any help is much appreciated !
Thanks in advance !
No you need root in order to flash a custom rom, everything you need to do so is in the stickies in the development stickies.
Well, you don't need root to flash a custom ROM, but most likely the custom ROM will have root regardless. To flash, you just need a custom recovery installed.

Okay. So here is my dilemma. I have tried to root this phone for at least a year. But recently i was able to do it. I unlocked my phone and put a working recovery on it! 4ext! But then the problems began. I tried to install ROms like Aokp or Cm10.1 but they would load up to the startup animation then go into a boot loop. For at least 6 other roms this happened aswell. I then read up on some articles and think that maybe this is because of my hboot. It is hboot 1.5 and not many roms work with this. I tried to flash AnthraX-htcleak-rls1.zip kernel since many articles said it would fix the problem but it did not help. PLEASE Can someone help me ! I need cm10 or aokp! BTW this is a HTC evo 3d Gsm (rogers) hboot 1.5.
if you have installed cmw .. you must need to backup the stock rom . in order to fix and accident caused by this kind of experiments
try to flash stock rom to it . it will b ok
try search your relevant product in google. HTC EVO 3D stock rom
find one wich is match your device properly
regards n best luck

if you want to run aosp based roms like cm10.1 aokp etc then you need to s-off and downgrade hboot. but if you want to run sense based custom roms then you dont need s-off
I have hox, and I dont need s off.
Becouse i asked

like i said it depends on which rom you want to flash. AOSP roms will not boot for you. Only sense based roms will work
Hi everyone. I'm new to Android, so apologies if this has been repeated before.
I have a HTC Amaze that I have been able to successfully install CyanogenMod 10.0 on. Everything is working fine. I want to do some additional modifications that require S-OFF, however every software to put device into S-OFF appears to require the official ROM.
Can anyone provide any direction on what I can use to put device into S-OFF state with CyanogenMod 10.0? (If it matters, I'll be reloading the device with Android Revolution HD 5 soon)
Thanks everyone.

Thats what I used a few years back. But it might not be supported anymore.
Good luck.
