So, I managed to get past step 1, but failed to press the power button at the right time for step 2.

I restarted the device, and now am presented with the following:

Dumping old HBOOT.

Flashing AlphaRev HBOOT: Verifying HBOOT: Old HBOOT matches.

Flashing old bootblock: OK

Procedure soft-failed, We were unable to flash HBOOT, but the old HBOOT is still in place.

Reminder: your phone is NOT bricked. Restart the procedure and try again.

You may need to restore your most recent nandroid backup from recovery.​

I've tried restarting the device a few times, but keep getting this message.

Any ideas?
[Legend Android Development] deimdos:
for me it was really easy (I did it at first try)

PS: I didn't count anything, just hit power button when message pop up (look at the screen not at the phone)
[Legend Android Development] Whoozer:
Just restart your phone in bootloader mode then recovery then volume down+power on and apply update.zip to start clockworkmod ( if you have fakeflash) than restore a backup or flash whatever you want. I've been through that and it scared me enough to stop trying
[Legend Android Development] Learners Lisence:
Can we use this RUU to S-On again after S-off ?

RUU_Legend_Froyo_S_HTC_WWE_3.15.405.3_Radio_47.51. 35.17_7.13.35.05_release
[Legend Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
100th reply!

But it might. If the HBOOT contained within is >1.00 then yes, it will. But you will not be able to S-OFF again
[Legend Android Development] Learners Lisence:
We can S-off with the next version of Alpharev ;)

So Which RUU can be flashed and still be S- 0ffed later with Alpharev 1.8 ?
[Legend Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
Your safest bet it to just stay S-OFF. You only get rw access when you give the phone the right command, and the apps that do it automatically need root access. So as long as you're careful with what apps get root access, nothing should write to /system unless you tell it to. Much like being S-ON ;)

Another Bell Legend failure

No problems running AlphaRev, but it hates me anyway...

Waiting for your device... FOUND!

Device Model: PB7611000
CID: BM___001
MID: PB7611000
HBOOT: 0.43.0001
Screen Type:

Your phone was not recognized or is unsupported at this time.

[Legend Android Development] speedyink:
Yeah, Bell phones do that for some reason.
[Legend Android Development] chansthename:
I need to remove alpha-rev for a warranty claim, everything is back to stock except hboot. I am about to flash "RUU_Legend_Froyo_S_HTC_WWE_3.15.405.3_Radio_47.51.35.17_7.13.35.05_release_160328_signed" in the hope that it has hboot 1.01

but if it does not, does anyone know how to remove aplha-rev or have a link to a stock hboot so I can fastboot flash it (since I still have alpha-rev)

EDIT: that ROM worked, HBOOT 1.01

Hopefully I will get an exchange so I can S-OFF it but thinking about it as long as I have root and recovery(fake-flash) I'm happy)
[Legend Android Development] Bricolo_fr:
why didn't you flash an older RUU with hboot 0.43, like a 1.31 eclair rom? this way if they give it back to you after repair you can still s-off
[Legend Android Development] oysteivi:
0.43 wouldn't overwrite hboot 1.00 from alpharev, would it? I think it checks the version number, which is why people can't flash the 1.31 RUU to downgrade from 1.01 to 0.43 for s-off installation in the first place.
[Legend Android Development] snakehult:
That we will never know now :p
[Legend Android Development] pesaroso:
First try, everything a-okay! :) Really awesome bootscreen, but I haven't figured exactly -what- to do with it, yet.. xD

I tried deleting some stock apps from the terminal emulator that I haven't been able to remove before, but now it didn't have a problem.. Is that due to S-OFF, or did I just type the commands correct for the first time? ^^

Yeah I know, I shouldn't do anything like this when I don't know what it's for, but I wanted to try it out! :)
[Legend Android Development] chansthename:
No it doesn't, I tried a eclair rom first (Froyo is not yet out for vodafone AU) but the guy on the phone said put froyo on first and see if the problem is still there (it is).
[Legend Android Development] ecips:
Use Titanium Backup to uninstall any system apps you dont want.

:)
[Legend Android Development] Booogiemann:
Confirmed that this works, S-OFF :)
[Legend Android Development] daedelus82:
Confirmed.. Had numerous issues getting this to work at first. You have to push power about .5 sec before the prompt appears telling you to push power now. If you wait for it to tell you you're already too late. They need to update the timer in the ISO in my opinion. Thanks all.
[Legend Android Development] scaeac:
For Alpharev 1.8 the time to press the power buttom is very important to S-OFF Legend.

On the start of step 1, when the PC prompt to press any key to start, make the finger ready and press the power buttom as soon as possible after press a key of PC. If the phone is no response at first time, keep to press as fast as twice in a second untill get in to Fastboot and stop the finger here immediately.

Step 2 is same as above.

Step 3 is auto.

It's hard, I know, but We have no choice.
[Legend Android Development] m1schi:
Just tried my luck twice.. all I'm getting is this weird "unary operator expected" error.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10320142/legend-soff.png

Here is the picture of the whole procedure.. Also pressing the power button right after Enter, just like people here tell to do. Waiting for the "Press Fastboot on your phone NOW" will only lockup the phone.

Unbranded HTC Legend using CM6.1 - if it does matter at all.
[Legend Android Development] ogo2:
There is a new second version 1.80 with MISC partition support. Did someone try to update hboot to this version?
[Legend Android Development] qzem:
Damn it still no support for HBOOT >= 1.00:(

EDIT: Hm, one question can you flash this new version 1.80 if you already have S-OFF?
[Legend Android Development] bjohv052:
The site says nothing about Legend support in the new HBOOTS. I don't dare flash them.

yes you can, quite easily too. the thing is if you look in the top right corner you see this box, it's intended for searching so that you don't need to ask things that have already been asked.

create yourself a rgb565 file using a program that is found on xda and just push it using adb.

fastboot flash hboot legend_alphaspl.img
[Legend Android Development] Sandertenty:
I think i tried it for a thousand times now, but no succes... after pushing enter (waited nicely for hboot usb plug) i get a -----> and then i can wait for hours but nothing happens.

What am i doing wrong?:confused:
[Legend Android Development] JonasDroid:
Start pushing the power button right after hboot usb plug.

Tab it fast but not too fast, because when you get into the bootloader and tap it again, you'll go back in hboot and the script will return an error.
[Legend Android Development] Sandertenty:
Thanks Jonas, I tried, but it didn't work for me... Still S-ON. I think my timing is pretty horrible..

what's wrong?
[Legend Android Development] ogo2:
Wiki: In computing, booting (also known as "booting up") is a bootstrapping process that starts operating systems when the user turns on a computer system.

Try to restart and check if the CD will boot. If not - you need to setup your BIOS.

P.S.> Do you know that you need to have root-ed phone and HBOOT 0.43 to work this tool...
[Legend Android Development] m11c3:
my phone have root & HBOOT 0.43 with rom b0.6

how different is 1.8 from the stock or are they the same ?
[Legend Android Development] ecips:
Hi!

The alpharev guys are working on modified partition tables for the Legend at the moment.

I have tested a couple for them.

There are some other changes in the works also, but I expect that it wont be too long before custom NAND partitioning is generally available.

I am currently using 180/10/275 S/C/D on my device with CM7.

<edit> I did post a dump of my partition table in this thread some days ago! :p

[Legend Android Development] marclh1992:
Bell uses HSPA+, they are phasing out their CDMA network. I don't think the network is the problem, probably the hardware version.
[Legend Android Development] ariaxu:
I wonder if the AlphaRev folks are even aware of our little Bell problem. I'm sure they would have plenty of testers if they asked.

Maybe this is just an overzealous check on AlphaRev's part. I may see about stripping out the hardware check and just try to run the damned thing.

If I get enough balls to try it, I'll let you know.
[Legend Android Development] ariaxu:
Hmm, after pulling AlphaRev apart, I found the following.

Bell Legends apparently have a different MID than other Legends. Alpharev is looking for PB7610000; Bell Legends report PB7611000. Thus, to be safe, Alpharev doesn't attempt to flash.

I'm just hacking the Alpharev script to attempt the procedure on my phone. Wish me luck. If this works, a simple patch to AlphaRev will solve our problem.

Edit:

Okay, I've found a couple of things that concern me enough not to try the flash without running it by someone. I'm trying to contact IEF on IRC. Will post again when I have a couple of answers.
[Legend Android Development] marclh1992:
If you are successful with the flash, I will surely try it as well.
[Legend Android Development] ariaxu:
Well, IEF, one of the developers behind alpharev, is of the opinion that the Bell Legend is no different than the standard Legend despite the MID difference.

That said, we still don't know that it will work, but I am feeling better about attempting this now.

I've attached a patch to AlphaRev that enables support for the Bell Legend. Unfortunately it's not for non-developers yet... This doesn't apply to the ISO, only to the alpharev.sh script contained in it. So, if you are crazy enough to unpack AlphaRev and patch and run the script directly on your Linux desktop, you can join me in potentially bricking your Legend.

Otherwise, I'm submitting this patch to the AlphaRev folks and we'll see what they say. I will certainly post my results in this thread.
[Legend Android Development] marclh1992:
edit: not needed anymore
[Legend Android Development] speedyink:

[Legend Android Development] Kwen:
I got stuck at step 3, waiting for flashing to complete.

On the phone it was done though, waited maybe 20mins.

Power cycled and phone booted with alpharev HBOOT 1.00.000.

Tried to integrate some apps into the system with Titanium Backup and it didn't seems to work, tried again and it says that HBOOT 1.00 is not supported (had version 0.43.x)

Is it fine or am I missing a critical step?
[Legend Android Development] marclh1992:
I could write to the system fine, but I didnt do it with titanium backup, I used Root Explorer. I am fairly sure the S-OFF is fine, and that it is something with titanium backup.

Someone needs to verify this on a non-Bell Legend with S-OFF.
[Legend Android Development] ariaxu:
Glad my little patch worked for you.

Where's the developers forum? I spent a couple of evenings looking for people to talk to about this, and got nowhere.

Also, if this works for anyone, I know I wouldn't mind some thanks points, and I'm sure marclh1992 wouldn't either... End shameless hinting :)

I made a post for the ISO in the developers forum here, or you can get it from my signature.

I have been customizing my theme on my droid x running rubix 1.9.5. I really love the cyan colored themes so have been using ninjamorph to change out tons of icons buttons bars etc.

A problem I've yet to find a fix for is

Text color. My theme changed my buttons from black to light grey, this makes my white text hard to read. Is there a way to change this text color?

It is on the buttons like the submit, insert, and discard in xda app and go in browser etc etc etc

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Axospirit:
I'm sorry for my English, I ask you a question.

Many pda like Samsung and the iPhone record video with a quality incredible.

We all know that our HD2 hasn't a powerful camera, has few fps etc.. I therefore believe it is logical to work to increase the fps even when using a resolution of 800 * 480.

If you could record in 720p, it would be nice, but if camera had a lot of fps.

What do you think? and is it possible can increase the fps while recording a video?

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scary alien:
Just experienced this with a friend that tried to install one of my apps I had sent them on Gmail. She long-pressed the attachment in Gmail and got the "parse error". The trick is to save/download it to you /sdcard somewhere (/sdcard/download for example) and then use Astro File Manager (or similar cool file manager app) and short-press the .apk file name to bring-up the App Manager which will allow you to install the app.

Good luck and cheers!

when you want to be offline, just log out from the facebook messenger app with one click, and if you want to chat just log in in the facebook messenger app with just one tap, also facebook messenger app its better because you can have group chats, and send photos through it
