[Q] s impossible to change hboot 0.92 to 0.8?

I run RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4. 06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe
and used OTA 2.2,then Desire's HBOOT become 0.92,no root,I tried to use
the GoldCard and run RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4. 06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe again ,But it told me the 140 Error.What Can I do to change hboot 0.92 to 0.8 or root 0.92 and use a rooted ROM?

Hi,
you can't do anything for the moment.
I think you have to wait till someone get an exploid for the new firmware/hboot.

[Q] Help downgrading HBOOT from 0.83 to 0.80

I have a branded (UK) Vodafone Desire that I loaded a stock Froyo ROM onto, now I need to get back to the branded Vodafone image (so I can return it for repair)
I have been trying to do this with the correct (Vodafone UK) RUU listed on thread 695667, but I keep getting a ERROR 140 : BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR.
I'm guessing this was because the HBOOT was 0.93, so I then successfully downgraded to Android 2.1 taking HBOOT back from 0.93 to 0.83 using the details in thread 768256.
My HBOOT is now 0.83 but the RUU still fails - same ERROR 140 : BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR.
So, is there a way to downgrade my HBOOT to 0.8 again (hoping that the RUU will work correctly with that version) ??
Or is there a way to extract the ROM image from the RUU exe and apply it using another method. ??
Thanks .. Ken

The problem is not HBOOT. Run the downgrade utility again, but -don't- install the downgrade in the bootloader (as described in the post), just select no, and then you can install the Vodafone RUU.

That worked a treat - thanks teppic74 !!

[Q] HTC Desire Upgrade HBOOT?

Ok so I have just upgraded the ROM on my HTC Desire from LeeDrOiD 2.3 to 2.4 and I have noticed on a few places mention that its possible to upgrade the HBOOT on the phone?
Is this correct or something that is not really relevant and should not be touched?

stock HBOOT got S-ON (NAND Protection by HTC).
As long as you get no problems flashing / booting new CustomROMs on your phone,
or if you dont need APPs whitch requires S-OFF, then there is no need of updating HBOOT.
Which HBOOT version do you have ? 0.93.0001 ?

Flashing RUU Problem

Hi folks,
I have been struggling with flashing back my desire to a stock ROM. I want to start from scratch by flashing the stock RUU because I cant move from this stage to customize my phone.
Software information :
Android
2.2
Baseband ver.
32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
Kernel version
2.6.32.15-g2633d94
Build number
2.33.161.2 CL284358 release keys
Softw. No
2.33.161.2
HBOOT 0.93.0001
S-ON
I've tried these RUUs to get it back:
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed
RUU_Bravo_Vodafone_UK_1.19.161.5_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126338_signed
but every time I get ERROR [140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR
Is it necessary to go trough this guideline before flashing RUU? ---> [HOW-TO] downgrade HBOOT 0.92 to 0.80 again
Do I have Hboot 0.93 instead of 0.92?
Can somebody help me with this please?

Root your phone with unrevoked.
Because your phone is branded (2.33.161.2 is Vodafone if I'm not mistaken) you will need goldcard too if you want to flash unbranded 2.29.405.5 rom.

I tried to use unrevoked guideline but it says to go to HBOOT menu and there to the 'HBOOT USB', but this I don't have.
My HBOOT menu:
Fastboot
Recovery
Clear Storage
Simlock

"On EVO 4G, you will have to select HBOOT USB at that menu by pressing volume down four times, then power. Wait until the screen flashes through an “SD Checking” message before pressing buttons; otherwise, the phone will ignore keypresses."
Not relevent in our case...

Unfortunately it couldn't pass trough. unrevoked says "failed to get root. is your software too new?" - any hint please?
+ is the goldcard inevitable only for RUUs or also for flashing custom ROMs if I am branded?

You need to use unrEVOked 3.21 - but if you wanna debrand then just use a gold card to flash 2.29.405.5

if you want update，you can use goldcard,if you want downgrade,give me your email add, I can give you a software to do that

[Q] Revolutionary on STOCK HBOOT

Hi
I want to S-OFF my desire, and just came across the revolutionary tool.
In their documantation file, they say they tested it only on HBOOT 0.93, and 1.02.
I didn't S-off my desire yet so I have STOCK HBOOT (0.90).
has anyone tried to use the revolutionary tool with this HBOOT ?
or if not, is there any SAFE way to change HBOOT (like 0.93) without S-OFF your device?

Alpharev.nl

1)if u try revolutionary, it will say you that ur hboot is not supported of course
2)if you don't have the 0.93 mean u are not up to date..the latest htc stock rom have 0.93 (ar least the unbranded one)
3)0.90? i think is 0.80? is it? it is an older hboot
4)u cant charge hboot if u have the stock one..the stock one is S-ON, mean u cant change it in no way..after s-off, u can change it
5)alpharev.nl could work

I meant to write HBOOT 0.92.0001 .. somehow the numer had mixed up.... that was weird..
anyway, I have an HBOOT 0.92.0001 with a PVT3 (yea, the device is preaty old, bought it about a year ago..)
too bad.. I thought I could do it more easily (and safe) and not go for the IMAGE way.. but if there is no choise, that what I'll do.
anyway, after I'll S-OFF by alpharev's IMAGE, how can I change the HBOOT? just flash it from recovery, or another way should be done?
many thanks for your help!

alhparev will replace ur actual hboot with the 0.93 "hacked hboot" with S-OFF flag (the same is for revolutionary)
after that u can change it (if u need a different partitions table to get more space on the data partition for example) through fastboot command, booting ur phone in fastboot mode
both alpharev and revolutionary do the same, give u s-off replacing ur actual hboot..revolutionary is an evolution of alpharev but only support 0.93.x and 1.02.x
btw to use alpharev first u have to root it with unrevoked
changing the hboot is only to get s-off and have the ability to use different partitions table..no other advantages in it

And of course in the rare event that revolutionary does not work on the old hboot, the old hboot can be upgraded with the froyo ruu
