Unrevoked only allows you to choose a custom recovery image, not hboot or any other img. You need fastboot for this. Same goes for radios (when on a partition table with small /cache), splash screens, etc. And, apart from that, you can run unrevoked only once - it roots you phone and then you'll never need this tool again, so you afaik you can't change your recovery image on an already rooted phone with unrevoked
[Desire General] kev94:
That's wrong, you can run Unrevoked again, and re-root your phone pushing another recovery. I'm sure of this because I did it myself several times to use Amon-ra.

[Desire General] sfjuocekr:
For those who asked, the included busybox version is 1.16.0. The version that comes with cyanogen is 1.16.2, but the busybox version is invoked from /data/busybox and thus unused after flashing the new HBOOT.

You can safely delete the included busybox from /data.

Hi Guys,

I'm a bit confused as to what state my phone needs to be in before i plug it into the usb.

Should it be turned off?

on in recovery?

fully powered and usable? (e.g. HTC Sense has loaded)

Thanks for replying.

Hey,

I just have a dumb question ...

First my problem is (using live cd burned) that I always have "waiting for device ...".

Debug is On, but do I have to allow access to the SD card ? Or just allow debug and plug it on ??
[Desire General] ShirazSuleman:
It is explained in the first post of this thread. You need to flash the bravo downgrader .img located at http://alpharev.nl/
[Desire General] aqblood:
thx alot! it works like a charm!
[Desire General] Bibracte:
Sorry for that question may have already been asked.

How to tell what version HBOOT is active on the phone ?
[Desire General] mortenmhp:
Depends of what you mean by version?

If it is the actual version number, then you can determine it by rebooting to the bootloader(shut down and boot up by holding vol-down and pressing power)

If it is which partition layout, you can determine it by using any file explorer and compare the partition-sizes to the ones on alpharev's website, and you can also just reboot to the bootloader as mentioned above, where this will also be shown.

So conclusion: reboot to the bootloader. Everything is there :)

[Desire General] Bibracte:
Ok, I see the hboot -6.93.1002

But how do you know if it Data++, CM7 r2,etc... ?
[Desire General] mortenmhp:
I just told you... look at the partition sizes using a file-explorer or reboot to the bootloader and look at the colored box at the top(hint mine says Alpharev Oxygen r2)

Also you really should know this, if you flashed it yourself.
[Desire General] Ed Roid:
Because i flashed it myself ? ;)

If you just used alpharev's iso, it's stock hboot. Otherwise it's written in the first line when you boot into hboot.

Edit : afraid i've been a bit late ...
[Desire General] Bibracte:
Ok, I had not seen it written in tiny pink.

Thank you !!!

I would have more but I cant remember, being Australian I'm drunk most of the time haha!!!
[Desire General] AlxMAX:
For Alpharev, look on http://alpharev.nl for an orange button with the dark blue text Donate. It should be right after the Joker image! For Cyanogen, look for a similar button on http://www.cyanogenmod.com. It should be at the end of the home page! By the way, you must have a Paypal account in order to be able to donate.

[Desire General] AlxMAX:
In case you have chaged your ROM, You should use a rooted stock ROM when doing S-OFF.
[Desire General] Large Hadron:
What ROM are you using?

The small cache partition of the CM7 hboot can cause problems with market downloads. Many ROMs solve this by redirecting the downloads to /data, but if you are using one which does not do something like this then that would explain the market problem.
[Desire General] GingaB:
I want the old CM7 hboot the one with 130mb system. Has anybody got it? I need MD5 to verify the img file aswell....

So after flashing this my hboot be s-off altough im s-on before? No need to use burn files to cd method?
[Desire General] Tillus:
you won't be able to flash a different hboot while S-on, so you still need to use the alpharev-cd (or usb-stick, or VM) first.

Edit: my FF-th post on this forum :D

[Desire General] Rastaman-FB:
hmm ive tested this and it does work

make sure you are doing the downgrade flash using fastboot or android flasher (not the pb99img.zip as that has mixed results)

make sure you fastboot erase cache and fastboot reboot-bootloader

then see if you can flash the older cm7 hboot

Hi All,

Need a little help and I have tried to read through this entire post but with over 2K replies I may have missed any possible solutions to my issues.

I managed to S-OFF my Desire just fine using the Alpharev boot CD everything was working perfectly until I decided to try and flash the HBOOT with the oxygen HBOOT file..

Everything appeared to go as per all the instructions that are available for this process until I rebooted the phone and now its just suck on the oxygen boot screen.

I have tried many things to get this working again. Reflashed CWRecovery, Reflashed the latest Oxygen rom and of course tried to reflash the HBOOT again several times with the stock HBOOT and again with the Oxygen HBOOT file with no success..

Anyone have any ideas..?

Thanks in advance.

P.S. If someone can just post up a link to a possible fix that would be greatly appreciated.
[Desire General] colonia27:
maybe you got a corrupt oxygen download. Try redownloading it and check md5sum.

And after flashing hboots you surely did this:

- 'fastboot reboot-bootloader'

- 'fastboot erase cache'

- Boot recovery, wipe everything and restore/reflash
[Desire General] SonyXperia:
Your right I did try it just like that, however I will try again... let face it it cant do any harm now..

will report back if this fails again.

How long should the HBOOT take to flash...?

I used the FastbootCommanderV.1.5 to flash the HBOOT and I get a message back in within a sec in the app telling me that the flash has been sucessfull so not really sure on the lenght of time this should be taking and how long I should wait on the boot screen to see if its all worked.
[Desire General] colonia27:
Flashing hboot only takes seconds. Maybe try flashing hboot with fastboot commands.

After hboot you have to reflash your rom. First boot can take 2-5 minutes

For quick help you can also come to the irc chat: irc.freenode.net #alpharev

Help!? After update viaAlphaRev to clockworkmod 4.0.0.4 can't mount sdcard anymore

Hi @all,

after searching for several hours i need your help. I habe a Bravo PVT4. I S-OFFed via AlphaRev Beta 0.2pre5 and Clockworkmod 2.5.0.7. No problem so far. But then the AlphaRevTool asked to update to Clockworkmod 4.0.0.4 and it updated sucessfully. But Clockworkmod Recovery does not mount the SD card anymore and so I can't flash any ROMs... (See Pitcure at ATTACHMENT)

The Alpharev Live CD does not detect my phone since I can only get to the Mode "HBOOT USB PLUG" and "FASTBOOT USB". It says something like waiting for device. Just the same when I try to do a "ADB Device" it also shows me no device connected.

It does not boot anymore to the last ROM I installed CM7 RC1 and so I am stuck.

But I am able to patch the HBOOT vis SD Card. I patched it to PB99IMG_cm7r2 from the Homepage of Alpharev. This update works from SD Card.

Is there any way to downgrade my Clockworkmod Recovery to 2.5.0.7 without using my current clockworkmod 4.0.0.4?

Does anybody have an idea how to flash a Rom without using clockworkmod?

How can I get my desire connected to ADB when I am in Fastboot USB or HBOOT USB?

Any Ideas?
[Desire General] minda67:
S-off not going through

[Desire General] AlxMAX:
@ieftm: have you got the occasion to examine the new HBOOT in the Desire upgrade? Is it very different from 0.93.0001?
[Desire General] k3lcior:
Are you sure you are trying to S-OFF with stock rooted ROM?

ROM's using d2ext, a2sd etc. cause lots of problems with the S-OFF process.
[Desire General] minda67:
I use InsertCoin a2sd nightly v51
[Desire General] k3lcior:
You need Stock ROM without any a2sd, d2ext scripts like i said earlier, or it wont work.

It's being said on main alpharev webpage under "requirements".
[Desire General] minda67:
Thanks! I have to find me a stock rom thats close to the rom I have :)
[Desire General] fatspirit:
It doesn't have to be close.

1. Nandroid backup

2. Full wipe

3. Stock rom flash

4. Get s-off

5. Nandroid restore
[Desire General] k3lcior:
AFAIK CyanogenMod7 should be fine, just dont install any a2sd scripts.

When you S-OFF'd full wipe/factory reset & dalvik wipe and flash ROM which you want.
[Desire General] jukyO:
Your HBOOT is ok, it should work. Are you using stock ROM?

You tried once or couple of times?
[Desire General] minda67:

Now it went smooth!! :D
[Desire General] ZaLiTHkA:
I've been reading through the last few pages of this thread, looking for clues on how to do what I need (or just want) to do... I think I've managed to figure it out, but just to be on the safe side, perhaps someone would be so kind as to confirm a few things for me.

Before I get into that, I tried last night to flash a HBoot through Android Flasher without changing anything else first; my device rebooted into bootloader and simply sat there, no errors came up from Android Flasher and nothing happened on the device.

After about 30min of nothingness, I took a deep breath, unplugged the USB (while praying like my life depended on it) and rebooted my phone. Fortunately nothing went wrong and I didn't bricked my Desire, but at the same time nothing had changed...

First a question: What is the actual purpose of the '/cache' size as listed in the table on the AlphaRev site? Why do some have 5MB while others have 40MB or 95MB?

I am currently running Oxygen 2.2 with the standard HBoot my Desire came with, and I want to change my HBoot to either the 'Bravo Sense' or 'Bravo CM7 r2', but I'm not sure what difference the cache size makes... One has 40MB while the other has 5MB.

And now we get to the juicy part, considering my current setup, to change HBoot would this process work:

Nandroid backup Oxygen 2.2

Full wipe

Nandroid restore to stock (original ROM, nandroid backup created after only root)

Flash HBoot

Nandroid restore Oxygen 2.2

Sorry if this is an overly noobish question for a very simple procedure, but I've read the warnings and after what happened last night I would rather be safe than sorry.......

HI,

need help, i have installed HTC gingerbread from htc developer site. now i want to get it S-OFF so i can load old HBOOT

can anyone plz help
[Desire General] ZaLiTHkA:
This has been asked tons of times already, search the forum and you'll see.. There is currently no way to root or s-off the official Gingerbread update for the Desire, you'll need to wait for the required tools to be updated.
[Desire General] derlotse:
Hi, i have the bravo-sense hboot installed, following the instructions on alpharev.nl :

means for you: replace everything after your first point Nandroid backup with points 2/3) to 6) from above instructions

use the img files from Download column!

the PB99IMG method didn't work for me.. forgot what error it was, but finally in fastboot method - as above - i got the proper error message to solve the problem..

a cache size of 5MB is enough for everyday use - from my 40 MB never more than 3 MB are being used. Only if you want to flash radio from recovery (I do this sometimes..) you need bigger cache.

you can still flash radio with the fastboot method with a 5MB cache partition
[Desire General] ZaLiTHkA:
Thanks derlotse, I was originally trying to avoid using the manual commands for fear of mistyping something or losing USB connection halfway through the procedure... That's why I tried Android Flasher first.

However, I decided to try this simply using the 'fastboot.exe' that comes in Android Flasher's data folder (as opposed to downloading the entire Android SDK to get it) and it worked. :D So I'm now on HBoot CM7r2, and busy restoring my nandroid backup as I type this.

Oh, and for the record the PB99IMG method (file on root of SD) also failed for me.. It gave me a CID mismatch error.

Hey,

I tried make S-OFF by all the ways - USB, CD/DVD and also via several Virtual software programs. Then I tried also revolutionary way (Caroline failed). Nothing did work! .... I am really desperate. Could you give me some info about what could be wrong in my phone?

I have Rooted Desire with GingerVillain ROM based on CM7 and using A2SD. I tried everything according to the tutorials :'( nothing worked at all!

E.g. using CD method it stuckes at step 3 I waited one hour several times, pulled battery, rebooted. nothing! Still S-on!!! Aaaahhhh!

Please, anyone has the idea about what is wrong?
[Desire General] k3lcior:
You cannot use a2sd, d2ext ROM's to S-OFF. (it's being said on alpharev website under requirements...)

Use some stock one, or cm7.

After you S-OFF'd then you full wipe/factory reset and flash ROM which you want.
[Desire General] devcager:
So I shall firstly flash my phone with stock e.g. froyo ROM?
[Desire General] k3lcior:
Requirements:

The only requirement right now is that the ROM you're running is rooted.

As techniques such as 'data2ext' have been popping up, these might disturb our finely-tuned flashing process.

Please revert to a rooted stock ROM if possible. Your /data partition is used for temporary storage of important files.

So yes, stock rooted froyo ROM will be fine.
[Desire General] devcager:
Ok, thank you much! And do I have to change SD-ext somehow? Or flashing the ROM will make everything ok?
[Desire General] k3lcior:
You dont need to delete ext partition if ROM is not using scripts like a2sd or d2ext.
[Desire General] ogre_x:
I made my PVT1 Desire S-OFF with revolutionary 03pre7. Can I use the alpharev HBOOTs to gain cm7r2 partition table or do I have to wait for revolutionary-style HBOOTs?
[Desire General] AlxMAX:
You can go ahead and flash the CM7 r2 HBOOT. I guess the revolutionary hacking software eventually flashes the 6.93.1002 HBOOT with the stock partitions. Then you may flash whatever HBOOT suits you. Just remember a thing: reboot the phone in FASTBOOT or HBOOT mode after you have flashed the HBOOT, go to recovery and wipe the everything, then install your OS.
