@suggiebliss the phone is less than 2 months before it died on me. I really love this phone sad.gif

@jenn I can't even perform hard reset on it. I brought it to digital mall hoping that they can at least help, but was told I need to bring it to the service center since it's still under warranty..planning to go tomorrow to brightstar and I really hope that they can settle it quick. Wishful thinking on my part, but still..

Why is it so hard to find decent phone covers for our Desire S ya? :?

I'm currently using a black Nillkin phone cover. I'm looking for covers that comes in the colour red.

Any suggestions?

yup, got the update and installed it.

quite smooth, except for some random reboots, which also happened to me before i updated to 2.3.5

a quick question, is there a way to find out which app that is causing the random reboot?

I have a question to ask. My hboot version is 2.000.0002, S-ON, and reading over the first page, it mentioned that Revolutionary only works for hboot 0.98.0002?

Is there a way to root my phone and still be able to use custom roms while still maintaining my hboot version?

I've had this phone for almost a year now and I finally have the balls to try to root it hahahah.

Some help is very much appreciated biggrin.gif


-==EDIT==-

I manage to do it heh. Just would like to know which ROM(s) are you all using (for those who rooted their phones, of course)

Thanks!

Hey guys, thanks for the replies smile.gif

I rooted my phone using this guide, still S-ON though. I'm using Endymion ROM as well. I'm also still looking around to see if there are any ROMs which I might be interested in using later on.

@Joseph Hahn, I did not back up my stock ROM and jumped straight to formatting the phone and installing a custom ROM. Will I be able to go back to my stock ROM then?

Just some random freezes. Most of the time it's ok though. Everything seems to work.

After using custom ROM i doubt you'll want to go back hehe... but you can still install it back if you want. I think there's a thread where they compile stock rooted ROM somewhere on XDA.

You're right. I don't think I'll be using the custom ROM anymore hahahaha.

I did the silly mistake of backing up my system data, and then restoring the system data when I flashed the custom ROM I wanted to use. I first started with Endymion, and then tried Reaper. I restored the system data for both ROMs, and there was a time I couldn't receive any calls when I was on Reaper. Then when I switched back to Endymion, my phone can't detect my SIM card. It was only when I asked my friend that he told me I don't have to restore the system data. I felt so silly after that hahahaa.

Right now I'm back to using Reaper ROM, and this beauty is very fast.


@symbiote: I want to try the full Sense 4 too, just to experience it hahaha.
