ppreciate your Help! I think I am still bricked.

Once I conntect to the PC, the phone screen goes to a picture of a battery charging and won't recognixe my keys for entering download mode

Good thought. I booted up Odin3 version 1.3 and no luck. The phone will not go in to download mode but Odin1.3 will recognize the phone as plugged in, which is a step in the right direction compared to Odin3 1.85 which would not. Oh, I am beginning to "freak out" from this stress!!

Any recommendations or suggestions? Thanks ahead of time.

[Verizon Droid Charge] stebomurkn420:
I use odin v1.82... Try that. If I rememebr right it took me several tries before I got odin to recognize my phone. So your starting with the phone off and battery out... Your holding down volume down key as you plug the phone in? and when you do that it odin recognizes your device but your device just shows that its charging? Try flashing it anyways with the .pit file and stock ep4d... If that doesnt work try flashing CWM first.. Then flash the restore package.. Sounds to me like your phone has been absolutely wiped so you have no recovery image. I think thats finally what got me up and running again.. This is a fixable situation, dont give your hopes up!!!!
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
Take out the battery and it shouldn't do that.
[Verizon Droid Charge] shopperschmenj:
Fixed.

Thanks to everyone for your help. I used the IMNUTS recommendation on how to "fix my phone" and it worked. Again, thanks for the help!

Ok guys too many people having issues with new rom sense 4 not booting up...

So here is a renegineered hboot 2.00.002...

After this all roms including all sense4 versions and even russian roms will work with no issues...

Old roms will continue to work as well with no problems :)

This should be used only by people having hboot starting with 6.98...

People with hboot 2.00.002 don't need this...

People with hboot starting with 0.98 can either flash 2.00.002 or this hboot...

Steps :

1. Download attachment and copy to root of sd card (i.e not inside any folder)

2. Reboot into bootloader

3. Select bootloader

4. The attachment will be auto detected and updated within 5-7 sec max.

5. Now go to recovery again select format all partitions except sd card if you dont want to flash a new rom else wipe cache and dalvik cache if you wnat to just update hboot and continue with old rom (Remember next time you flash a new rom select format all partitions except sd card from recovery).

* Formatting all partitions except sd card from recovery is recommended after hboot upgrade !

6. Don't forget to delete the attachment from the sd card.

7. Done

Tested well and works perfect ! :)

Also fastboot commands work except for the 1 to change id...everything else works as it should and you can always revert back with no issues :)

[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Okies will look into it...and will need to test the method before posting :)

But will do something about it :)
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Could you please explain what the issues and differences are?

Is this to do with system.lib?

Thanks in advance

Swyped from my DesireS
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Well, i tried to flash the full Sense 4 port for 3 hours yesterday, but it always led to a black screen, since the system partition got filled up and the updater-script was trying to mount the lib partition, which wasn't there. This fixes these errors by adding a lib partition. It will be a problem in all future ROMs, so I'm flashing this now....
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
And what will be the advantage of this over the 2.00.2002 one? Besides the flashing procedure which was by adv for the eng 2.0.2002

[HTC Desire S] lhn1989:
I will try it.

Does it can be helpful with Google Maps compass?

My Google Maps compass didn't work on all Android4.0 roms....;'(
[HTC Desire S] datoml:
I tried this Hboot, but i ran into troubles.

First of all the phone rings before it goes into the bootloader... never happend.

When i start the rom, the same.

The cam is also broken. The cam pic looks wierd...

Maybe I done something wrong?

Edit:

Now I went back to this one:

PG88IMG-OLD-RADIO-20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.11

Everything works fine again.
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
I guess shrome answered it...though we can always change the updater script but it will be a pain to do each time...So this way you don't have to worry about it...partition is added and ics roms i guess will go this way...:)
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
These are rom issues due to new partition and nothing to do with hboot...you can just do a clean install of the rom...and then check :)

As i have said do foramt all partition except sd card and then flash the rom...all will be well :)
[HTC Desire S] kylon:
Is this an updated of the eng 2.00.2002?

Or it s older
[HTC Desire S] datoml:
I went no back to this hboot:

PG88IMG-OLD-RADIO-20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.11

Everything works well again.

Before I clean my phone again, what will be the benefits with this new hboot?
[HTC Desire S] :
if people remove the lines in updater-script to flash files to /system/lib partiton, and remove in the boot.img > init.rc the lines to mount lib partition there's actually no need to upgrade your HBOOT. you'll even ruin your camera pictures... Lol i really need to downgrade my hboot but cant really find a good tutorial :P

if you flash SenseMOD FlashONE and use the F1 kernel located on our website, you wont have any problems with older HBOOTs
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Well i guess there are many who still don't know porting stuff and other details...so that will be a pain for them...

About camera pictures...you need to do a clean install after flashing hboot...so that all libs are now at same place...no issues :)
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Your confusing thats the older radio not hboot...

hboot and radio are different...radio that you flashed will have affect on the network...not camera pictures :)

hboot affect the system partition schema :)

Check your hboot version by rebooting into recovery...if the zip has no parts of hboot...it will still be v7
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Its same...just modified and reengineered as they say :P
[HTC Desire S] tommyhot:
I have revolutionary hboot. Can I install this ENG 2.00.002 hboot?
[HTC Desire S] kylon:
Also 2.00.2002 is eng.

I would like to know if this in an updated version

Are there any differences?
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Yup surely can :)
[HTC Desire S] suku_patel_22:
My theory is as below:

revolutionary hboot 6.98.1002 could not be upgraded to the new eng-hboot 2.00.2002 via the PG****.zip method, as the current hboot version was larger than the one we were trying to apply. Hence the solution was to use dd command for the upgrade.

This new hboot fixes the problem by modifying the version number of the hboot to make it larger than the revolutionary one and can now be applied via bootloader.

Based on this understanding, I think that there should be no differences between this and the eng 2.00.2002 one.

There should be boo reason to upgrade from 2.00.2002 to this one

Please correct me if I am wrong

Thats about it...true but there is something more though that i am yet to find too...'more part'...but they insist there are some minimal difference between it and 2.X...though am not sure about it...:)

[HTC Desire S] htc-phones:
This is not a eng hboot :S mine says ship s-off :S

EDIT: i cannot get my old eng hbooot back now :'( it just bypasses everything and now these ruu wont revert me back to stock :'(
[HTC Desire S] skim0322:
So if I am s-on, this won't s-off it?
[HTC Desire S] kwisatz79:
I think you can still use the dd method (Guide: New hboot 2.00.2002 (ENG S-OFF) #237) to get eng hboot back. This is not without risk but should work.

Edit: Alternativly you my try misc_version way to apply RUU ([Guide] How to Downgrade Latest Hboot 2.00.0002>> without using HTC Dev V2). Just ignore the parts to get root and start with misc_version, but im not sure if it will work. Afterwards you can S-OFF again etc.
[HTC Desire S] htc-phones:
its okay i got my old eng hboot back with dd commands :)

---------- Post added at 11:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:01 AM ----------

and i dont need misc version im super cid and xtc clipped :) i can flash any ruu :P
[HTC Desire S] kwisatz79:
@vampire36:

In principle it would be nice to hear about the source of this hboot, which hboot was the basis for it and a complete changelog, before someone decides to flash it.

As far as I can see there is no need to flash it if you got eng s-off hboot 2.00.2002, but correct me if I'm wrong.

Edit:

@htc-phones:

Good to hear it worked for you. Anyway the misc_version way may be useful to some others, who don't dare the dd method and did revolutionary s-off.
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Yup I still think this is 2.00.002 with just values made greater to 7.00.002 to be flashed over 6.98.002...cos if you unzip it...the .nb file is still 2.00.002...so :)
[HTC Desire S] htc-phones:
why does people think this is a eng hboot when its NOT ?
[HTC Desire S] skim0322:

Ah ok... If I may ask one more dumb question. I have 2.xx and it is only unlocked by htcdev and s-on. Will this allow me to flash radios?
[HTC Desire S] htc-phones:
with this hboot you CANNOT use fastboot commands.

---------- Post added at 12:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:20 PM ----------

NO this will NOT allow you to flash radios because you are unlocked by htcdev and if u flash this then you cannot be 100% assured it will work because it might even mess up your phone. because you wont be able to flash it anyways since you unlocked using htcdev and that dont allow flashing radios anyways and you wont even be able to flash this hboot
[HTC Desire S] banny7000:
Is it recommended to upgrade from revolutionary 6.98xxxxxx,to this
[HTC Desire S] ttocs99:
So if you cant use fastboot comands how do i get back to the 6.98 hboot?
[HTC Desire S] htc-phones:
you will have to use dd commands to get back to normal working eng hboot. and you can try using the PG88IMG way but the zip will get bypassed :P use my way below. dont thank me in the thread takes up too much room. hit my thanks button below if i helped you ;)

if u cant get back use this with the normal eng hboot grab it below

Open Cmd (command prompt) and run following commands (press enter after eachh command)

adb devices

adb shell

su

Make sure that you device appear in the list. (eg. HT********)

After running these commands you will see

~#

Backup your hboot by entering this

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/backup.img

Flash new hboot by entering this (make sure you have mounted sdcard otherwise it will show error)

dd if=/sdcard/hboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

Reboot to your bootloader and check your hboot version it must be something like this

*** LOCKED ***

SAGA PVT ENG S-OFF RL

HBOOT-2.00.2002 (PG8810000)

.....e.t.c.....

Yes, there should be no issue flashing radios etc as long as you are s-off. Btw I am htcdev unlocked with revolutionary and just updated with no problems. The update is here to help fix some possible issues that may arise with the use of the leaked kernel 3 and sense roms. It may also help with aosp and aokp roms as well but that is yet to be confirmed.

A noob question here:

A friend of mine has a S-ON desire S which is never rooted or S-Off before. He has troubles doing that because of the original HBOOT 2.00.2000.

What does this Reengineered HBOOT do precisely? Will it allow us to root and install custom ROMS? Can we do it without htc-dev unlock? Because that's what we are really looking for... Otherwise warranty = void forever :D
[HTC Desire S] Marcoevich:
Bump :P
[HTC Desire S] miz_pimp:
Your friend will need to downgrade his RUU, and then root with Revolutionary. Check the index thread for the guide to do so. This hboot can only be flashed once you're already rooted.
[HTC Desire S] Marcoevich:
Thank you ;) I found it! Gonna try it tomorrow ;)
[HTC Desire S] BillGoss:
What's the definition of an engineering (eng) hboot?

I installed this one and found that it doesn't have support for the "fastboot oem" commands, so I reverted to 0.98, which does.

Edit: this hboot DOES have fastboot oem commands. It just doesn't have the ones that let you write serial number or model id and a stack more other commands.

Problem solved i flashed cm10. Now it boots again. It didnt boot when i flashed miu4 weird.

Well, you wiped everything except your SD card. So there is no ROM on your phone.

Flash a new one :)

Hi,

I did the same and was not able to install the MIUI rom. Any idea what else needs to be done to get MIUI working. HBoot shows as 7.0 and I formatted all partitions but after flashing ROM stuck at splashscreen. Had to revert back to my Endy backup for now.

Hmm...

1. You all upgraded your hboots to 7.*/2.00.2*

2. You downloaded 'miuiandroid_saga-2.8.24.zip' from miuiandroid.com

3. You checked the dl for crc errors (md5), Important!

Should be: 56404e4a9e8b958098ca5f9f004fe072

4. You entered Recovery and formated all partitions 'cept SD-card.

5. You flashed the MIUI rom

6. You 'fixed permissions', in recovery mode, before rebooting.

This should be it...

If you did it like I wrote and it still doesn't work, I really don't know :(

PS. If you're coming from 2.8.17 you only need to wipe cache and dalvik.

[Edit] You should continue this discussion in the MIUI thread. :)

I really checked everywhere but i can't find an answer.... (sry if this was explained in another post, but i just couldn't find it)...

i have an HTCDev Unlocked Desire S with S-On hboot 2.00.002 and i want to S-Off it...

If i understand correctly...

i must first downgrade to 0.98.002, then S-Off with AlphaRevX

and then? to upgrade to Hboot 2.00.002 what must i do? just flash the newest RUU again or is there any other way?

and will the hboot 2.00.002 be S-Off?

Please help - I'm in trouble... My DS stucks on "white screen" with HTC logo... Steps 1-5 done, hboot updated, partitions formated, reboot - and.... Rom: Endymion V3.5

UPD: problem solved! The only way I found after dozen failed attempts:

1. pull out the battery (yes, I know it's not safe, but you may try to do it while reboot VolUP+VolDown+Power)

2. pull out SD card, use computer or another phone to erase PM88....

3. if you have backup, skip to i.4, otherwise you have to write dump of ROM you want to install on your SD

4. put back SD and Battery

5. VolDown+Power -> hboot -> reboot to recovery -> make restore or install a new rom

in cwm you do all the wipes available (there is also one under the advanced chapter) although i think "factory reset" is enough cos it wipes all.
