The fifth time did it for me :)

rebooted my phone and computer and voila !!

S-OFF

Hboot 0.93.0001

ow yeah , fantastic !!
[Desire General] zw4mp:
Thank you for this!

Worked perfect with hboot .75 and Mcr r9.

Tip: Make sure adb is not in wireless mode if it says waiting for device :)
[Desire General] swine...:
Thanks. Love it. Worked through VirtualBox with no errors. Nice boot screen as well ;D
[Desire General] justinkb:
now we can just run rageagainstthecage in a booted android and copy over su binary from /sdcard/ - i'm so happy :)
[Desire General] justinkb:
wouldn't some symlink magic just make this work without the hassle of repartitioning?
[Desire General] bemymonkey:
If that worked we would've just symlinked /data/data/ to the EXT partition on the SD card... seems like that screws up everything. :(
[Desire General] desire888:
Worked on my Telstra Desire.

I would say getting rid of the Telstra bootscreen is as good as getting s-off!!!
[Desire General] simonthor:
Done!

Using VMWare player.

Hboot 80

Now: 93

(I can't remember the zeros.) :)

THX Alot whole lot!
[Desire General] ranasrule:
Done !!!!!!!

Old HBOOT: 0.75

New HBOOT :0.93

[Desire General] colonia27:
Doesn't really matter because you have to restore a backup or flash your new ROM anyway.
[Desire General] cez10:

I have managed to restore the boot via nand

wifi stopped working, wont even switch on, gives an error hmm

thank you
[Desire General] Tillus:
pull out battery, then boot into recovery and flash new rom (in your case oxygen).

And if your recovery doesnt work, flash a new recovery via fastboot. :)

[Desire General] TheUntouchable:
Hey guys,

sorry if this question is allready answered..

Tried du upgrade the hboot from 93.0001 to 93.1000 with the alpharev.iso file.

Everything went fine, till the UI on my phone says, its now save to reboot into fastboot with pressing back and power. Tried it lots of times with every button on my phone, nothing. Just pulled out the batterie and checked the hboot, 93.001 and not 93.100. Tried it with the PB99IMG method, CID incorrect, tried the iso again, same error as bevor..

Any suggestions?

Hey all!

I've got an unbranded Desire with HBOOT 0.93.0001 already.

Do I just download 'Bravo Sense' or 'Bravo Oxygen' (or whichever I choose) and boot it (I'm using VirtualCloneDrive) and then plug my Desire in?

The site says:

1) Nandroid backup in recovery. [How do I do this?]

2) Verify the MD5SUM of the file you downloaded against the one in the table. [How do I do this?]

3) Flash HBOOT with your phone in fastboot mode (Back+POWER) -> 'fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img' (change into the correct filename for the HBOOT you downloaded)

4) 'fastboot reboot-bootloader'

5) 'fastboot erase cache'

6) Boot recovery, wipe everything and restore.

Is steps 3) to 6) just options that appear on the phone screen?

Thanks!
[Desire General] TheGhost1233:
No, you have two procedures mixed up. First you need to S-off by burning (or bootable usb or vm) the .iso. Once your s-off you can change the hboot with fastboot (similar to adb). But if you don't know how to make a nandroid you shouldn't even be thinking about s-offing.
[Desire General] :
I do know how but I was asking if there was an easier way to do it, all in one go?

I haven't rooted my device yet, that's why I'm asking all these questions before I start. Wanna get it right.

CWM-Apharev error code?

Hi,

When taking nandroid backups, I am now getting what I think is an error code when it comes to the sd-ext. Instead of a filename, it just says "#1579" and hangs there forever. I am using 2.5.1.8. Is there a list of error codes or somewhere where I can find out what this means?

i just cant get alpharev to boot! tried 5 different pcs now, neither cd nor usb drive works. it shows the linux version (first line) for about 5-10 seconds and then just reboots the pc... any ideas on that? :confused:
[Desire General] Tillus:
DId you compare md5-sums? You can check .iso's md5 on alpharev.nl, and most disc-burning tools allow you to check the integrity of the new created disc.

When you tried different pcs I'm almost certain you've got a bad cd... :)
[Desire General] N!ghty:
i did not. didnt have a md5 checker at hand... however i re-downloaded the iso 3 times with different dl-managers.

would be very unfortunate if the iso was corrupt 3 times... anyways, ill compare the md5 tomorrow ;)
[Desire General] AlxMAX:

CID Error?

Okay, I am S-OFF now, but I can't seem to be able to flash the CM7 Hboot?

I am using the SD card method as I have no idea how to flash it from my laptop.

The PB99IMG.zip is in the root of my SD, and I boot into bootloader where it recognises the file, but then says CID Incorrect, Update Failed. It then gives me the option to restart or not.

I'm stuck, I have no clue what to do.

Can anyone help?

Thank you to any replies:)
[Desire General] ziggy1001:
Never tried the method with the PB99IMG.zip, but have used Android Flasher & Fastboot Commander nice easy GUI tools multiple times no problems:cool:
[Desire General] Chapell:
Your device is branded I believe. It would work if you use a goldcard, but it's easier to use the fastboot method. I had the same problem, and this solved it.

Thanks, but I don't see there any clear instructions on how to setup the fastboot tool.

Anyway, I'm also S-OFF on a branded phone, so I'll give it a try with a goldcard first. If that doesn't work either, then I'll jump researching Fastboot.
[Desire General] MrUsta:
Got is working by using the Fastboot Commander! :)

I have no idea why it didn't work with the Hboot flash from SD card. Maybe the branded phone without goldcard was the problem.
[Desire General] Chapell:
There are instructions on the Alpharev site too:

Nandroid backup in recovery.

Verify the MD5SUM of the file you downloaded against the one in the table.

Flash HBOOT with your phone in fastboot mode (Back+POWER) -> 'fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img' (change into the correct filename for the HBOOT you downloaded)

'fastboot reboot-bootloader'

'fastboot erase cache'

Boot recovery, wipe everything and restore.

I have my HTC Desire (bravo) S-OFF since 2 days ago. All went well, except it got stuck on step 3 after everything was OK (confirmed it on IRC channel, pulled battery off and I was S-OFF, just needed to restore backup to "repair" bootimg)... The only thing is that I didn't get the Joker splash screen, I still remain with the original HTC one.. Is this normal? Is there any thread where I can find other splash screens? In www.alpharev.nl in the bottom there are a few, but I don't know which one to my Desire:

AlphaRev WVGA, HVGA or QVGA splash screen?

Problem with non SENSE ROMs

Hi guys

I managed to flash to S-OFF without any problem. The only problem is that the only ROMs which now work on my device are SENSE ROMs. I tried CM, Oxygen and MIUI - all of them gave me com.android.phone Force Close messages every 2 seconds. Whenever I use a SENSE ROM (Like LeeDroid or AceS) I have no problem at all.

I tried flashing different tables (I event flashed the oxygen hboot table before flashing the oxygen ROM) to no avail.

If anyone has an Idea how to solve this issue I'd be very happy.

Thanks in advance!!!
[Desire General] fatspirit:
Have you done full wipe aka hard reset before flashing?
[Desire General] nirrub:
Yup - hard resets (wipe data and cache and dalvik cache) and also reformatted my ext3 partition. All without effect. Any more ideas will be greatly appreciated!
[Desire General] fatspirit:
Kernel, maybe?
[Desire General] nirrub:
You mean Radio? If so, I haven't changed one in a while - mine is 5.11.05.27.

If you're talking about the ROM's Kernel - I'm using the one that comes with the ROM (everyone is adding their own kernel, and I've tried 3 different non-sense ROMs, all with different kernels).

I've never had problems before - I was on hboot 0.75 for a really long time (a year or so) and flashed all ROMs without any problem. I've encountered this strange behavior only 2 days ago when I went S-OFF.

Any more ideas :-) (Thanks for the help!!!)
[Desire General] Meaple:
Restore a backup if you have one then try again with a full wipe.
[Desire General] nirrub:
Still no go

No backups as I formatted my sdcard.

Any other suggestions? Any idea where to start looking?

How to relink ROM Manager to clockworkmod recovery?

Hi,

This is bound to be a FAQ but I have a hell of a time finding anything in this jungle of genius :-) so please kindly point me at the answer.

I installed AlphaRev and am enjoying my 2GB EXT with CyanogenMod 7. One small niggle though - if I tell ROM Manager to do a backup or whatever, my phone boots into AlphaRev's recovery and I have to flash clockworkmod recovery to get it to accept the backup command.

Is there a way of either disabling AlphaRev's recovery, choosing which one I want as default, or reversing the order so clockwork gets in first?

TIA
[Desire General] Tillus:
I don't think so which is why rommanager sux, in my eyes.

Just flash the recovery you prefer, boot into it and do a backup.

I never understood why people use an app for that.

You can only have one recovery installed at a time.
[Desire General] pardus:
Requirements:

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

Some clarification please, a rooted phone (with Unrevoked) and rooted ROM - two different things?

Finally decided to give reflashing a try. I did it on my Touch and Touch HD in the past, but the Desire seemed daunting - talk of gold cards, rooting, Hboot, S-on, S-off...

I want to thank the AlphaRev team for the pain-free method to S-off. Well, S-off of a sort, anyway. And thanks to all of those who risked bricking in the past months, to enable me to have a less-likely-to-brick version of the software!
[Desire General] Lord Panzer:
I used Alpharev to get S-off and everything worked like a charm. But the site says something I don't understand about partition tables. There's a list of images I can apparently use to set my partition tables the way my ROM likes them.

My question is *should* I? Should I *not*? I reverted to the backup of the rooted stock ROM first (while shaking my fist in satisfaction that I kept it) and now I've restored the CM7 backup I normally use. I think the tables should be in order, but I'm an idiot so I'm probably wrong.
[Desire General] fatspirit:
Everything is plain simple: if you don't understand it and everything is working as is - you don't need this.
[Desire General] vnvman:
It's simple: if you wanna use stock rom use alpharev stock, if you wanna use cm7 go for alpharev cm7...just remember: don't restore stock rom when you have the cm7 hboot installed, or it won't fit and the phone won't boot at all.

Ran the CD on my friends desire. Rooted first of coarse. Not the first time i've used the CD.

disconnected the phone, plugged into my mac, put phone in hboot

used fastboot to flash recovery...done

tried to flash new hboot (cm7)

got error, can't remember wording, something like "return from device not verified" hboot not flashed.

managed to update the rom though, phone seems okay. But I just about sh*t myself thinking I bricked my buddies phone.

Any thoughts on what I did wrong?

[Desire General] Tillus:
When you boot into fastboot (or hboot), does it say "alpharev" in the first line?

If not, the S-off process has not finished. Does it actually say S-Off in fastboot?

What Rom did you use for this? S-Off does not work with a Data2SD-Rom.
