[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
Well its simply impossible, my hboot only has 80mb for system partition so a ruu would not fit, fact.. my hboot does not change the hboot number to 0.80.xxxx fact. And who said anything bout a goldcard
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
Point taken, I'm sorry but virtually everything you've written is simply wrong and misleading:

- Flashing the downgrade.img unlocks the write-protected hboots such as cm7r2. It does not change the hboot to 1.0.9999, but it should say "Alpharev Unlock" at the top of the bootloader screen

- You need to flash STOCK hboot before you flash an RUU. The RUU's /system size is ~240MB. It can only fit into stock hboot with a 250MB /system size.

- You therefore physically cannot flash the RUU on the 80MB /system hboot, or ANY hboot with a /system size less than ~240MB. You must use stock hboot...

Please edit your post in case someone accidentally discovers it and follows it...Just delete your guide, refer to Bortak's troubleshooting guide instead, it covers this 4 triangle mode exactly and other scenario. Please read it.

(You've also posted this in the "how to downgrade hboot 1.03" thread, which has nothing to do with the 4 triangle mode..)

i don't understand what do u want to say what is ur point. if ur point is bull sh*t so i apologize from the bottom of my heart. if ur point is that my method is wrong so i can prove it its totally works. i have flashed and successfully downgrade 5 htc desires. i didn't mislead im not wrong. i don't know whay r u measuring 250mbs or 240 mbs if u think this RUU is lagre so u can flash RUU stock as compare to ur cid

http://www.4shared.com/zip/J0xvf5Hhba/PB99IMG.html here is the 80-5-352 custom hboot with size 512kb
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
Hehe lad i made those hboots. Tried every single one of them. 80-5-352 hboot 80mb system, 5mb cache, 352mb data partition. 512kb is the size of the file thats all.

Fact 1: None of my hboots will change u hboot number in bootloader, it only changes partition size.

Fact 2: For a ruu to work it needs 250mb in the system partition so it will fit.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
You said "stop trying bull sh*t methods"...--> you imply that other guides are "bull sh*t"

Have a look at Bortak's guide, specifically Point [4], and compare to yours.

- After flashing the downgrader, you should type "fastboot reboot-bootloader". It will then say "Alpharev Unlock" on top of the bootloader screen, which is evidence of a successful flash.

- If you flash the 80MB hboot, it does NOT change the hboot to "0.80.0000". Check it yourself.

If you don't understand why we're talking about 250MB /system partitions, then this proves that you don't really understand what an hboot actually is...so let me explain ;)

- When the RUU is extracted, it's /system needs to physically 'fit' inside the the hboot's /system partition

- The RUU has an extracted /system size of ~240MB. Stock hboot has a 250MB /system partition

- 240MB < 250MB, therefore it fits :good:

- 240MB > 80MB hboot you posted, therefore it doesn't fit :(

The reason why people get stuck on the black /!\ screen in the first place is they flash the RUU on the wrong hboot, again read the guide. RUU should be flashed on STOCK hboot.

This also has nothing to do with CID...the 2.3.3 GB RUU skips the CID check, you do not need a goldcard to run it.

I absolutely agree you have a right to post. Even better that you are trying to help others.

However if it is a guide is should explain things thoroughly and be correct. Your guide is incorrect in several places as pointed out.

Put it this way, for instance if someone tries to follow it, they will not see "0.80.0000", I've never seen "1.0.9999" either. They will believe they have done something wrong, it is therefore misleading....

Yes, as above, you're speaking to the guy that actually made those hboots in the first place ;) nobody knows about them better...

He may not have added write-protection to these hboots, which is why an RUU could work in overwriting them. However, it is always best practice to actually flash stock hboot beforehand as in the guide. That way you guarantee the RUU will fit.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] john-ammu:
I know you both are senior member you will never encourage me, so do not discourage me i know the rules of extraction .img or other compressed files if you both are senior then im senior in pratice. if u think im wrong so don't apply this method on your devices. truth will never changes.this is my humble request plz stop arguing and try to forget about this, (IM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE.WHAT EVER THINGS COULD HAPPEN. DO AT YOUR OWN RISK) is it clear
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
The thing is, the only way the RUU could have worked after you flashed the 80mb system hboot is if you didn't reboot between the flashing and the RUU. But you can't simply say that 240 mb can fit in 80mb.

You could very well not flash the 80mb system hboot, and only flash the downgrader then the RUU.

We aren't doing this to "discourage you". We are doing this so that future members that read your post will not potentially brick their phones, or be confused and angry when a ruu didn't fit in an 80mb system.

And maybe we would have been nicer if you wouldn't have said that our methods are bull****...

Hi there, Let me explain you something first, im trying to downgrade my HTC Desire Bravo from the Hboot 1.03 so i can S-off it and then put the 4eXT Recovery on it so i can continue to flash the Beanstalk ROM...

* server not running *

* daemon not running. starting it now *

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3yan:
Hi,

thx for posting this very good guide. :victory:

I ran into few troubles - PVT3 - hboot 1.03.0003

as I finally got some card which is working (for me ADATA 16GB was problematic and Transcend Industrial 8GB too, 1GB noname did the trick) and fixed issues with goldcard I run into this problem:

Everything flashed except hboot (hboot mumbled: "can not roll back hboot version").

Solution: I ran RUU utility from W7 and it did itself the trick.

Posting primarly because I did not noticed anywhere solution for this specific issue.

Step-by step to victory:

starting "unlocked 1.03" w TWRP + 4.4.4 slimkat

* prepare sd-card (BE SURE THAT IT LOADS THE FILE !! IF IT IS CORRUPTED IT WILL LET YOU KNOW)

* download and prepare some PB99IMG

* copy PB99IMG.zip to sdcard

* extract misc.img from zip file on page1, rewrite first few bytes to +- T-MOB004 (which was first few in my /dev/mtd/mtd0)

* through twrp flash_image misc -> flash edited misc

* in this point I've got this not-nice stuck as my PB99 flashes everything except hboot

* solved by downloading RUU which is in 1st post. I just simply ran this RUU over patched version and voilá -> SOLVED

I know that this is not exactly "by the books" but I think that maybe it can help to someone who is in similiar trouble.

one hint - when I've got bad "misc" = bad mtd0 (my fault) and good PB99IMG it loaded the image but than noted that IMG is just bad and wont flash it.

As far as I know, no! The rooting via recovery is the best way of rooting (in my opinion). Easy, fast and no known issues yet.

i need a program to make communication (audio and video) with my visitors who are at front of my door.

we have 5 different flats. and i want to put a touchpanel (tablet pc with android) to outdoor of gatedoor and another touchpanel to indoor of flats.

when my visitor come to my home he will select my name on list and ring me as calling on a video calling.

when he my ring my touchpanel notice me about it and allow me to talk with him and see him.

is there any program for that suitable ?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] terradune:
Yes.

Skype.

Seriously: Just leave skype running on the outdoor tablet, no lock screen so pressing the power button will display Skype straightaway. Each of the flats can have their own username (assuming you're installing a tablet in each flat) e.g. Flat 1A-10-6 or "Robbie" or whatever. The visitor taps on the name of the flat they want to visit, the tablet for the respective flat starts to ring, and ta-da! Your solution.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Mafioso:
It would be good if some knowledgeable member preferably a dev clears up, what are we really going to achieve through S-OFF, there have been lot of threads regarding it, giving conflicting information with people making all kinds of assumptions of everything's what's wrong with Amaze have to do with S-ON.

From what I've been able to make out:

The only real benefits which is left now though S-OFF is flashing radios. And perhaps, flashing kernel would be lot easier, as it could be done through recovery instead of the process we have here through adb (it isn't really that bad or complicated once you get a hang of it).

Other benefit, what I found while searching for S-off are changing partitions. Amaze has lot of internal memory so I don't think changing partition is really important for Amaze.

What's really holding the development back on Amaze, is right now we only have HTC kernel. AOSP & CM kernel aren't working or not fully functional yet due to closed source HTC drivers. CM team is close, but they still don't have radio(RIL, BT, GPS) and camera working. Once they get that done (and I wish they do), ICS, CM and MIUI ROMS will come to Amaze.

[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
we need both S-off and release of drivers source codes for various things...more importantly is the release of a drivers and source codes. this way we can make kernels not based on stock...having S-off gives us the advantage of flashing radios which is important sometimes, right now there is no way of going back to the old RUU's we need the old radios to work with them correctly, HTC should learn from samsung and just get rid of the whole S-on and S-off concept. it is so easy to flash everything on my galaxy tab....

nevertheless with S-off comes the possibility of people bricking their phones completely!!! because this way HBoot will be accessable too!!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Mafioso:
I thought the only source for Radio is HTC or rather Service providers (since amaze is not sold unlocked anywhere) and you can't flash radio of device A by some other device B by modifying it, as it extremely difficult and dangerous and not allowed by law either in most countries ? So where we will get the old radios for Amaze?

This is true but it can be a little confusing since occasionally odin packages (md5.tar) are downloaded in zip files and need to be pulled out, but yes files flashed through CWM are in .zip format.

This is just the FP1 radio update (.zip format) I pulled it from the link above. Download the file, put it on your sd card, go into CWM, wipe cache and dalvik, go to mounts/storage, mount /system, go to install zip from sd card, install it, and thats it. Note that it takes a while to install so don't pull your battery thinking it froze, just let it finish.
