damo nice rom u got here.thinking of trying it

but i want to find out whats the advantage/s of your custom hboot than cm7/r2 or stock hboot?
[Desire Android Development] immi79:
u will get alot of free space after installation, i get 600mb+ after install with 1024ext4 + 341ext4 partition and of course much more stability than any other hboot
[Desire Android Development] tsiftsism:
Hi to all,

i just performed the s-off procedure and it was successful. After that i booted in CWM recovery (v2.5.1.8 installed during s-off), flashed the hboot.zip file given in post #2 and after that i flashed the rom.zip file, but i'm i'm stuck in 'Why so serious' screen.

I read some posts written a month ago with the same problem as me mentioning that should wait for some time. How long should i have to wait?

My class 6 sdcard is Fat32+1.0Gb Ext4+0.3Gb Ext4+0.1Gb Swap partitioned.

Thanks in advance for your answers.

[Desire Android Development] tsiftsism:
Damo i did the partition changes to what you proposed but i still stuck in 'Why so serious' screen (for 5 minutes now).

Should i have to wait for 10-15 minutes or the Joker screen should have disappeared instantly and i should pull the batter?.
[Desire Android Development] *damo*:
It shouldn't stay at splash for longer than 5 mins, do you have the D2EXT+ hboot flashed?

HTC Swyped from my Sense 3 Desire using XDA Premium
[Desire Android Development] tsiftsism:
Yes the one from the post #2 which i flashed via CWM first and after that the rom's file. Should the flashing of the D2EXT+ hboot lasts for almost 2 secs?

I don't know if the problem is the different md5 checksum other than the one from the post (i'm using a windows' md5 checksum verification program). The verification for the rom file is ok.
[Desire Android Development] *damo*:
You don't flash hboots through cwm, open up that zip from the first page and you will find a .img and md5 file in there, you then flash it via fastboot

You obviously didn't check the md5 like it says in bold otherwise you would have know it was wrong

HTC Swyped from my Sense 3 Desire using XDA Premium
[Desire Android Development] tsiftsism:
I open the .zip and saw the file with the right md5 checksum inside it. I also have seen vids showing that you flash hboots via fastboot but i also read that

and i confused the word. I through CWM was written instead of cmd. :o

So, obviously the problem is the wrong hboot. As soon as i flash the .img file with the appropriate procedure it should work.

Thanks for your help.
[Desire Android Development] immi79:
hey damo, getting an issue since this morning, what ever i do internet related, like when i try to download anything from market, i get android.process.media fc, email doesnt update, same fc, weather doesnt update, same fc, is it related to the low space issue?
[Desire Android Development] *damo*:
Yes

HTC Swyped from my Sense 3 Desire using XDA Premium
[Desire Android Development] tsiftsism:
Damo thanks again for your help.

I flashed both hboot and rom and everything seems to work fine. I've no lag unless i enable 3D home screen from Menu -> Display (doesn't matter though). I also flashed an external .zip for disabling the trackpad2unlock (it only enables trackpad2wake) and did some uot changes.

I don't encounter any internet problems just like immi79 mentioned before, besides the com.htc.bgp fc error message while i click on weather widget. Still, if i press the error message close button, weather application runs. So, just that annoying message.

Edit: Right now i read the v0.4 changelog mentioning that com.htc.bgp fc has been fixed, so i assume that is a well known bug.
[Desire Android Development] immi79:
have u done that mentioned in first post ?

-To stop that com.htc.bgp fc when opening the weather app, go to settings > accounts & sync > weather > and untick refresh when opened -

u might get the error i mentioned after a while when ur space get full, but damo already has fixed the problem in the upcoming update ;) so just waiting for the update now :D
[Desire Android Development] tsiftsism:
Yes i did it. But now (after some hours have passed since the phone booted for 1st time with this rom) it seems that the fc error appears randomly, not every time i click the widget.

As i wrote before, it doesn't bother me, app works fine. Apart from that damo is about to give us an update.

I use cm7 r2 hboot now.

Last time i just flashed your hboot over the cm7 version.

Now i see that i need to use the downgrader hboot first.

What is that for exactly and why can't i just flash the new hboot the normal way?

Thanks, looking forward to 0.4.
[Desire Android Development] *damo*:
Because the new hboots have security by alpharev so you a RUU can't overwrite them

hy Damo,

I have flashed the Hboot downgrade, but i can't install the 0.4 version, i stay all the time on bootsreen "why so serious"?
[Desire Android Development] jullman:
after the hboot downgrade, you do flash D2EXT+ hboot for v0.4+ at the second post and after full wipe => flash the rom
[Desire Android Development] mambraxneol:
i have done this, i'm surprise ?

I will remade all of this, may be it will be good

I flashed the new Hboot with fastbootcommander over cm7r2 and it works just fine. no problems. Don't need the downgrade.

I have exactly the same problem, flashed HBOOT downgrade with the xRec. zip and the fastboot img, flashed HBOOT D2ext+ but HBOOT seems to stay at "downgrade" flashing the ROM just freezes at the splash screen

EDIT: Flashed the ROM 3 or 4 times
[Desire Android Development] *damo*:
I don't think you flashed the hboot properly then. The pink bit should say "alpharev D2EXT+"

No idea, I remember these problems from 2.1 but don't know how to fix it

HTC Swyped from my Sense 3 Desire using XDA Premium
[Desire Android Development] t-c:
Didn't fastboot the D2ext and have just tried it and says theres a 1byte error also done a checksum and codes don't match.

I've downloaded the D2ext file 3 times and still get the same checksum from the download??

EDIT : Checksum of the 3 downloads is consistently DB4B1342F467E2E021820489CD1319A5
[Desire Android Development] *damo*:
ok, did you unzip the file and then check the md5 of the .img inside the .zip?
[Desire Android Development] t-c:
The img file in the zip is consistent with the checksum but have tried to fastboot and it returns an error;

c:\HTC\AndroidFlasher1.8.0\Data>fastboot.exe flash hboot bravo_alphaspl_D2EXT+.i

sending 'hboot' (512 KB)...

Tried androidflasher with the img and HBOOT stays at "Downgrade"

So not sure what to do now
[Desire Android Development] *damo*:
try flash another hboot and then without flashing the downgrader flash d2ext
[Desire Android Development] t-c:
Tried the standard alpharev HBOOT;

c:\HTC\AndroidFlasher1.8.0>fastboot.exe flash hboot hboot.img

But this time the HBOOT header says Alpharev D2EXT+ ?

Flashed the bravo_alphaspl_D2EXT;

c:\HTC\AndroidFlasher1.8.0>fastboot.exe flash hboot bravo_alphaspl_D2EXT+.img

sending 'hboot' (512 KB)... FAILED (status malformed (1 bytes))

finished. total time: 0.001s

and the HBOOT header still says Alpharev D2EXT+ ? I thought with the HBOOT img from 0.31 in had "custom D2EXT+" in the header

Flashed the ROM again and appears to resolved the problem with booting.

My concern is that both the fastboot attempts seemed to have failed and now I am either unsure as to whether or not I have done something wrong or the ROM has installed but with some errors with the installation. I'm not sufficiently experienced to know how to check that it has been completely successful and what future actions I should take to avert these errors
[Desire Android Development] *damo*:
no, it changed ;) try flashing the rom and seeing what happens

and if it still doesn't work try using cmd or terminal, much more reliable

fastboot flash hboot c:\hboot.img

fastboot erase cache

fastboot reboot-bootloader
[Desire Android Development] jullman:
hi damo,

thanks for the update

I have some lag (output lockscreen,...) and is a long time to open any app:confused:
[Desire Android Development] t-c:
Thanks very much for your assistance, ROM is loaded and all seems to be functioning.

With the instructions(read - idiots guide), flash the hboot.img, erase cache and reboot-bootloader should this be the process for each change to the hboot? I assume that changing through recovery automates this?
[Desire Android Development] *damo*:
yes, how can you change through recovery?
[Desire Android Development] tsiftsism:
In order to change the hboot either to your new one or to the stock or cm7 we just have to flash it through cmd? Without doing anything else?

Sorry, but i didn't understand the downgrading mentioning in previous posts.

Thanks.

Read the Alpharev thread -Downgrade protection

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8358703&postcount=1

The Bravo Downgrader is only needed if you have used the new Oxygen & CM7 "r2" hboots
[Desire Android Development] t-c:
I was under the impression that since the img was delivered as a zipped format the took this form;

"You can also download the corresponding PB99IMG zipfile, put it on your sdcard, and rename it to PB99IMG.zip. Then start the phone in HBOOT mode (VolDown+POWER) to flash the HBOOT without a PC. It is however still necessary to either restore your nandroid, or reflash your ROM after doing this. The partition LAYOUT has changed, the actual data still needs to be 'moved'." alphaRev

I take it from the query that this isn't the case.

The custom one in this forum and the ones on alphRev site have a similar format, an img file and a description(so I thought) but never really looked into the contents
[Desire Android Development] Hypercaine:
Did everything from the instructions, and left it over night to stabilize. Works rather smooth. For now at least. Not much lag. Both the lockscreen and the flip clock work nice. Setting up the accounts now. Still, I do get some force close warnings, but mostly when i turn or, restart the phone, and try do open an app straight away. After a few minutes everything works ok.

As for the hboot via android flasher. It's normal to have that failed. He flashes the hboot anyway ;)

sorry if this is already answered but with a liittle search i've made with keywords 'call' and 'lock' didn't find a reference.

During an outgoing call my phone locks so when i want to terminate the call i have to first unlock the screen and then press the End Button. That doesn't happen while i receive a call.

Is that feature correct or there is a setting that disables it? If i'm not mistaken on early Robo's RCMix roms was mentioned as a bug and after some versions it was corrected.

No matter what you do it wont go past the boot splash, guess I nandroid back for now. And no your not doing anything wrong I even formatted both ext4 partitions with gparted with no prevail. To make sure I also wiped with RA and CWM and reflashed the ROM.
