oh i see... ok, will try to flash it after my final paper

just afraid that can't support chinse character cause i use 30% sms in chinese and the ROM its under world wide english

EU rom and WWE rom are same file name...yes it support chinese...

So I just download the ruu and flash with 4EXT recovery and that's it? Need any kernals or what?

What is 4ext recovery?
What i did was enable usb debugging, connect to comp, run the ruu and follow the instruction on screen..no sweat..

No, u just connect your phone to your computer and run the ruu... 4ext recovery is only for custom ROM. U can't flash official rom with 4ext recovery...

The RUU ends with .exe extension. So u only need to double click it and follow instructions. The RUU seems good to me. But if your phone is unlocked using revolutionary or alpharevx, you better dont run it. "Running the RUU will lock your phone".

Regarding people who having hboot version 2.xx.xxx..... U can go download the unlock bootloader from the htcdev.com... Once unlock, u can flash custom ROMs and stuffs but remember, u need to flash the boot.img for those who use htcdev.com unlock bootloader....

for those who unlock their phone using revolutionary or alpharevX.... u dont need to flash boot.img... but this is only for Hboot version 0.98.xxxx (Old version). This is much more simple and more convinient flashing custom ROMs....

Hboot with higher version is more troublesome and requires 1 or 2 more steps when flashing custom ROM. Please refer to the custom ROM thread for more info before flashing.

Those who unlocked their phone, I recommend you to use 4ext recovery, which is free and stable. Download the free recovery here: http://4ext.net/

U need to follow those guides on XDA forum, follow them step by step, it's on the General section. I've made a guide for all these.

Whoops I jsut realized there was an exe in the zip file.

I run the exe, connect phone and follow instructions but FAIL!

On the phone it boot to standard recovery and say 'UPDATE FAIL, SECURITY FAIL' or something like that. Is it because my bootloader is unlocked?

Did u unlocked it? If yes, u cant do that.... power off your phone, take out your battery, insert back, and press volume down and power button at the same time, it will boot to your bootloader.... On that white screen, u will see if your phone is unlocked or locked....
Note: you dont need to take your battery out if your fastboot settings is set of "OFF".

If your phone is unlocked its better to just flash the custom official ROM... But u need to upgrade your hboot if your version is 6.xx or 0.98.xx. There are tons of guide on the XDA forum, read those, its really helpful... or check my thread to update your hboot under the General Section...

Mine is unlocked I'm pretty sure because I booted to bootloader before.

I actually planned to flash the custom official rom but can't find it in XDA. All I can find is the community rom only. Do u have the link for the custom official rom for Desire S?

i just bought htc desire s. but, im having a difficulty to find a cute cover for my phoneeee. i've searched around big mall around my area but i couldnt find any. do you know any online shop that sell the case? tq so muchhhh

Stupid HTC y not just release the its update... It's like doing work half done...

try with malls that are not so new. mall like setia alam and paradigm mall confirm cannot get

ebay.com has tons of it. I bought mine tru there also..

just update the ruu update...so far running more better than gb 2.3.5,

ohh... i mean y htc never release the OTA update... running the RUU will erase all data which i feel lazy to do all the settings and download apps again...

hye, im new to this thread. and im s-on, hboot 2.00..... im trying to make it s-off, and did not find suitable RUU to downgrade , anyone can help me?

it's hard to change the rom in s-on because need to manually flash boot.img..
help me to downgrade .^^

So far, after upgrade quite smooth....better than in 2.3.5 GB

mine so far no much issue yet.

maybe i'll update it after i get my spare phone from hometown, just in case anything goes wrong during the update

Make sure u have HTC Sync install in the PC when u update the RUU files.

Successfully updated to ics yesterday. So far so good. Only complain are need to setup, download all apps and lost all my game data...
