[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
you seemed to do everything correctly, okay, flash the stock bravo HBOOT from alpharev, then flash the downgrade utility. Extract rom.zip (you know how to do that right) from the RUU, and then extract the HBoot.nb0 file (from rom.zip).

Once you've got that, put it in a zip with the android-info.txt file and name the .zip file PB99IMG.zip... this is EXACTLY what I did and it gave me the stock S-ON Hboot :) Then obviously put it in root of sd

Try that, hope it helps :)

EDIT: sorry I dunno why I gave you that info.txt when it's in rom.zip as well :s and just remembered it won't work for you since it for Vodafone :L ahh I'm an idiot sometimes
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Terepin:
You need to flash downgrade HBOOT in order to go S-ON.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3lcior:
I did even twice, prior to flashing stock hboot and also after RUU did it job, went back to see if i'm still s-off. Was still s-off so i flashed downgrade.img again but still s-off and alpharev hboot (6.93.9999)

I will try what bortak suggested though.

:p
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
yeah when you flash the downgrader it wiull say "Alpharev Unlock", and HBoot version is 6.93.9999

Try the method I told you about, worked for me.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
okay I just realised what you did wrong.. you said you flashed the downgrader BEFORE you flashed bravo_stock, which means you still had a normal alpharev Hboot which could not be overwritten. You need to flash the downgrader THEN run the RUU, without any other steps in between. (or again, you could just flash the stock HBoot.nb0 that you can find in rom.zip with the android-info.txt in a PB99IMG.zip)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3lcior:
I had to flash downgrader first because i had CM7r2 hboot originally, and i wouldnt be able to flash stock without downgrading hbooot i think. :confused:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Nope, you can flash alpharev Hboots over each other no problem. Only need to flash the downgrader when you want to use the RUU to get S-ON

Did you try my method? did it work? are you S-ON now?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live_0978:
sorry to bump this thread after it's been dead for so long..I have a HTC Desire that I've just unrooted to o2_uk 2.14. I used FastbootCommander v 1.1 to flash HBOOT_Downgrade then I ran the o2_uk ruu but I'm still with AlphaRev Unlock 6.93.9999 s-off HBOOT on PVT1. I tried Bortak's method of downgrading the hboot, I took the rom.zip from the ruu gingerbread 2.3 found in my temp folder, copied it to the desktop then deleted all files other than android-info.txt and copied hboot_8x50_1.02.0001_SF.nb0 to it then copied it to the root of my sdcard as pb99img.zip rebooted but recovery wouldn't flash it....can someone help me please? Even a way of flashing *.nb0 file to the phone.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itachi1706:
PB99IMG.zip files are not flashed with recovery, they are flashed using the bootloader. Load into the bootloader (vol down+power) wait for it to search and find the PB99IMG.zip file, press vol up when they say: 'apply update? Vol up to confirm, vol down to cancel' and then press the power button to confirm it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live_0978:
in the bootloader..that's what I meant, it never asked me if I wanted to apply the update, it just did it's check og pb99diag, pb99img etc but didnt recognise the pb99img as an update file. but nevermind, i've solved it using fastbootcommander v1.5.1..i flashed pb99img_bravo_stock then pb99img_downgrade then the 2.14 o2_uk ruu and i now have back 0.93.0001 happy days!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tarun Chaudhary:

RUU
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vercetti:
guys, found this thread on my mission to restore ruu, s-on and unroot my device.

guess why? because i'm also s-off after the whole procedure.

i was running CM7r2 with Hboot 6.93.1002 before and then flashed alpharev stock hboot, then alpharev bravo downgrader. i installed the ruu and everything works out fine. i just always stay with s-off, no matter what i try.

tried bortak's solution from this thread too. didn't help.

now that i can't send fastboot commands and have no recovery either i have to keep flashing things via PB99IMG.zip method. i try the downgrader from alpharev and it says "alpharev unlocked". i then install another ruu but afterwards it will stick with s-off.

please help!

thx,

v.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Could try the 2.3 RUU...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vercetti:
phone was not branded, so i need to stick with the WWE versions.

right now i just rooted the phone again and will try everything once over.

am i correct if i

1. flash alpharev stoch hboot

2. flash alpharev downgrader

3. install ruu from pc

thx,

v.

---------- Post added at 04:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:28 PM ----------

after 2nd try nothing changed.

i rooted, then flashed the 2 hboots in the exact order, but after ruu i still have s-off.

what's going on?

v.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Hence why I said to try the 2.3 RUU, because it's different from the 2.2 ones...

BTW that RUU is the last thing your phone will ever see if it goes wrong, so do it at own risk.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vercetti:
hehe, first you only had "3" written there, so i thought you meant the network provider "3".

ok, so a 2.3 ruu. sure i'll try one, do you have a link?

and why would it be the last one? could i not go back to a 2.2 ruu afterwards?

greetz,

v.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
there is only one. There is a link on my guide.

If the process goes okay, then yes you may, however you need to S-OFF first, then flash the alpharev downgrader, then the 2.2 RUU.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vercetti:
hey bartok,

flashing 2.3 also didn't get rid of my s-off.

how come i can't get s-on? what could be the problem with my phone?

my warranty ends in 2 days and i would really like to send it in for repair. what's causing all the trouble here? everyone just seems to flash the downgrader and then install the ruu. but i'm always stuck with s-off.

please help,

thx,

v.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
So you've flashed the downgrader, and used the 2.3 RUU.. and you're still S-OFF... but everything else is stock?

Okay, download this and rename it to PB99IMG.zip (make sure it's not .zip.zip) put the file onto the root of your sd-card, boot into the bootloader (hold volume down & power), when it asks to update select yes. This should give you hboot version 6.99999, then, put the attached file onto the root of your sd-card, boot into the bootloader (hold volume down & power), when it asks to update select yes. Should update your hboot to 1.02 S-ON.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vercetti:
hey bartok,

i'll give it a try. but doesn't htc refuse warranty on a desire running the 2.3 ruu? i thought i read that somewhere.

in that case i'd need to get it back to gingerbread again. would that work?

plus: over at androidforums.com i got answers saying that i might have a factory s-off version (they mentioned coming across some of those). here's the link, it's just a couple posts, maybe you could read what they suggest.

Wow great timing with the huge release of possibly s-off tonight! How fast do yall think toastcfh can cook something awesome? :)
[HTC EVO 3D] u921333:
today is gonna be a good day by the looks of it!!!! I cant even imagine the battery life and the smoothness we are gonna see when our great devs tear into this thing!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] eman3316@optonline.net:
What I do not understand is why HTC's dev's cannot do what our Dev's can do with their own devices.
[HTC EVO 3D] lyric911:
Who says they can't? They have a lot more to lose if a patch breaks phones than some dev on XDA.
[HTC EVO 3D] Jaywan:
I agree with you they are the ones who build the **** our guys edit and hack. If they make it I'm 100% sure the things our guys are doing is nothing new to them.
[HTC EVO 3D] eman3316@optonline.net:
I was reffering to the ways XDA dev's can optimize these devices to run better all around and make it graphically more pleasing. Not talking about unlocking.
[HTC EVO 3D] DDiaz007:
HTC devs can do the same thing.

Appreciate my help? Thank me :-)
[HTC EVO 3D] u921333:
LOL thats debatable :) 30 fps on original evo was IMPOSSIBLE!

Now I agree they are chained to what they are allowed to do since they work for a large corporation but dont sell our devs short my guess alot would be Hired on at HTC in a heartbeat :)
[HTC EVO 3D] DDiaz007:
I'm not selling our devs short. It is only ignorant to say that HTC'S devs cant do the same thing. HTC'S devs are restricted to making the device functional for everyone.

30 fps, blame PR from HTC.

Appreciate my help? Thank me :-)
[HTC EVO 3D] dpg2001:
same way with a car. manufacturers just release the car for general public for the most part. then the tuners go to town for the hp and speed freaks like us!

there are speed freaks in tech and in cars :D i happen to fall into both categories, haha
[HTC EVO 3D] DDiaz007:
^This

Appreciate my help? Thank me :-)
[HTC EVO 3D] eman3316@optonline.net:
I agree, HTC makes their devices lag for everyone and XDA Dev's make our devices smooth as butter. Now why would HTC want to do that?

HTC gives us all crappy battery life, HTC Dev's tweak to give us better battery. Why would HTC want to do that?

I guess only us geeks really care if a device runs as smooth as it is capable of and also offers good battery life. Does the regular everday user doesn't care about things like this?

And let's not get into the ridiculous skins that HTC has in it's hub. I guess most people want terrible skins that all look the same but in a different color.

All I have to say is thank you to our Dev's here who truly bring these devices to the next level which for whatever reason the manufacture's cannot.
[HTC EVO 3D] klbjr:
You hit it right on the head! Most people don't care about 30 fps or a colorful skins. Most people just care that they can make calls, read email, check FB, Twitter, go online when needed. The skins and other stuff are just icing on the cake. Look at how bland IOS is but people still flock to it because whether it is pretty or not, it does what is is supposed to do. Now for our crowd that isn't enough. We want it push our phones to limit of it's capabilities. To squeeze every drop out of it. We want it to be as customizable as possible. But alas, we are the small minority, so HTC builds for the masses, who make up the biggest portion of their bottom line. To continue the car analogy, look at HTC like Mercedes or BMW. They produce a real nice car for the general public but for those who want something extra they go grab a AMG or M model which is like a phone after the devs here finish with it.

Flashing full firmware S8500XXJID, should i change "Boot Change" (and "Full Download")?

I've read many people saying yes, i have to check also boot change, while some other people says it's unsafe.
[Bada Software Development] mylove90:
It is the Same thing

if you tick full download and put boot files then for sure you made a boot change

So you are free to tick boot change or not
[Bada Software Development] pao9195:
i agree with mylove90, no need to tick boot change when you ticked the full download because once you ticked the full download option, boot change is dis abled.

However when you tick full download then boot change is disabled but not ticked, using multi upload version 5.64 :confused:

I am currently running the Mango Beta 2 build and I've noticed that you still cant send video or audio within a text message (Although I have noticed it is now possible to email videos).

[HTC Sensation] satani:
Well, I've been using my Sensation for about a week now and so far everything is fine, EXCEPT one major bug i found:

Every time I turn in the GPS-Option, I get a completely wrong location (ie in weather, maps, places, etc) and have to wait and refresh a short time later to get my actual real position and even short time later, the signal goes back to the wrong place.

example:

I enable GPS and refresh the weather, it goes to "Fürth" (some city in Bavaria, South Germany), but I'm actually located near Berlin (on the complete opposing end of Germany). Same goes for any other location based function.

I even disabled the "allow false locations" option, but don't know further, anyone experienced similar problems?
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
I haven't seen this. I'll take a wild guess. Part of the A-GPS system can use cell towers and wifi to get a rough estimate of your location in order to speed up the GPS sat acquisition and lock. Perhaps the cell tower/wifi mapping in some parts of Germany is incorrect, so when it's using the local networks to find you it's flipping to another part of the country, the GPS kicks in and it locates you accurately. You could try a couple of things to test this. Turn off GPS and open Google Maps. It will normally locate you on the map within a few blocks of where you are and show a large blue circle due to the inaccuracy. Does it show you near where you are or in the other part of Germany? If it's way off then the local network mapping database is messed up. Not sure who to contact about that, but I guess you would start with your service provider.

As I recall Google has had a bunch of problems with the German authorities regarding the mapping they have done of wifi networks. Maybe that's a factor here, but who knows.

If this is the problem you could turn off the local network feature in Settings > Location. Problem is it will rely only on GPS then and take longer to get your location. But if my theory is right, right now the local network locator is hurting more than helping you.

If that's not the problem then install this app:

http://www.appbrain.com/app/gps-test/com.chartcross.gpstest

Turn off GPS, run the app, press the Menu button on the phone then Settings. At the top press "Clear AGPS" then "Update AGPS". Exit the app, turn on GPS and see if that helps. The initial lock after updating AGPS may take longer than normal, but that's expected. After that it will be back to normal.
[HTC Sensation] Curb71:
I have the exact same problem as the op. soon as I open google maps it shows me 10 miles away from my house. always the same spot 10 miles away. a few seconds later when it gets a lock on my location it pops me back to where I actually am. If I close google maps and open it again it jumps back to the wrong spot again, waits a few seconds and then jumps back to my true location at home.

I tried what you mentioned above but it did not help. wifi on or wifi off same difference. I read about some people saying it shows their old address and I did recently move and the wrong location it shows is about 1.5 miles from my old house. also the wrong location it shows me in is on the edge of this private reservoir that I have never been too.

Anyone else have this problem or read on how to fix it?

Hi all, I've come across a free fake iphone, one of those generic ones. Looks just like a real one except it runs a different OS.
