[Q] [HOW-TO] HBOOT 0.83 to 0.80 again - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I would like too see this one too. SLCD with 0.83 sucks.

What is the problem with HBOOT 0.83?

Yeah, I don't see the problem either?
Got my phone back from service, and the bootloader was 0.83 instead of the 0.80 I had before I shipped it in.
Does this mean that they used an SLCD screen instead of an AMOLED screen when they swapped displays?

It just means they put on the latest software. Your radio is probably updated too. If your screen was faulty they probably have replaced it with SLCD though.

So I can root with any normal guide for 0.80? Could you give me a link to a working one?

I got my desire last week, HBOOT 0.83 which means its an SCLD, if your on that hboot you have to have that type of screen, otherwise it would not work (afaik).
Anyway you can root this hboot easily now, took me 60 seconds (really!)

Rooting on HBOOT 0.83 is no different from 0.80. If you have an SLCD screen, it is slightly different but this has nothing to do with HBOOT.
HBOOT 0.83 does not mean you have an SLCD screen.

[Q] HTC Desire with HBOOT-0.93.000001

Hello,
I had an hardware problem with my Desire (problem with volume "-" key), so I made an echange.
On the new one, I'm already on orange rom with android 2.2 and hboot 0.93.000001.
Before I were in hboot 0.75, I was sure that I have an Amolex Desire and not an SLCD so it happened that after making him reflash orange rom (but at this moment, I didn't exchange my phone finally), I re downgrade the hboot to re put the 0.75 for re rooting it, because I was sure that it was to 0.75 by the past.
But I read that if I have an SLCD, i've to be careful and I'm afroid of SLCD Brick as described in aanother thread?
Do you advise me to root it with the last version of unrevocked without investigate to know with downgrade to 0.75 and knowing if it's an Amolex version?
Thanks
There is NO need to downgrade.. 0.93 is rootable from unrevoked use 3.21
And I think S-LCD brick is not due to root.. but it is due to wrong RUU flash.
Someone correct me if I am wrong.

Can Hboot 0.93 be replaced with alpharev Hboots and s-off like the previous Hboots?

Yes, it can.

[Q] question about hboot

On my Inc2:
I Clipped s-off.. then I ran revolution.
Is there a way to reload hboot. 0.97 to get back to my original hboot?
That leads into my noob htc question... How does the hboot relate to kernels and RUUs, etc.?
is hboot untouchable for the most part?
Thanks

In the case of Revolutinary, a modified hboot is written to the phone that has the S-Off turned off. So if you replace the Revolutionary hboot, you will lose S-Off. The XTC clip process turns the actual hardware S-Off and the standard HTC hboot reads that setting, so that is why clipping gives you permanent S-Off. In your case you did not need to run Revolutinary at all. All that the process did was copy the modified hboot to your phone. Since you have radio S-Off you should be able to replace the Revolutionary hboot with the 0.97 hboot without any issues. Someone please correct me if I am mistaken.

http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?t=1766 is what you want.
hboot is the bootloader.
kernel is well, the kernel. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel explains it better
RUU stands fr ROM Updater Utility, does exactly what it says.

Checked out that link... it was talking about going back to froyo and such.
From what you said.. all I should need is the part for hboot.. correct?
It was also talking about a different checksum for GB?
Just wanted to make sure before I try this.
thanks!!
IIRC, flashing the bootloader is the single most dangerous thing you can flash and can definitely brick your phone. Make sure you understand the risks!

To my knowledge, there is no Engineering HBOOT. But other phones such DHD and Desire S/Z do have ENG HBOOT.
I see two options... Alpharev http://alpharev.nl/ or create your own custom HBOOT(more dangerous option).

[Q] Deeply confused by unbrick attempt - can anyone help ?

Hi All,
Apologies in advance... I'm a noob.
Well for a long time I was a happy camper running the excellent Marange MIUI ROMs on my HTC desire (which had been replaced by a PVT4 motherboard version). This was S-OFF and running HBOOT 0.93... but then one day a couple of months ago I got into a boot loop where all I got was the MIUI boot logo... not really a loop more just stuck at the logo.
So I tried several clueless attempts to reimage using the TeamWin TWRP boot loader... but nothing I did worked. So after several failed RUU attempts and random PB99IMG boots and one successful run of:
RUU_Bravo_Telstra_WWE_1.15.841.14_R4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_123851
I had what I imagined was a stock phone running an ancient Telstra release (it is a Telstra branded phone - the other world wide English RUUs refused to recognise the phone - 130 error).
I tried re-flashing the baseband radio, ClockworkMod v2.5.0.7 Recovery and MIUI... and wound up back to square one stuck in the MIUI logo and the RUU I used to get back to stock is now refusing to do anything) and this time I noticed my phone reports:
BRAVO UNKNOWN SHIP S-ON
HBOOT 0.75.0000
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYMT0101
RADIO-5.17.05.23
Mar 5 2010, 21:12:15
So somehow my PVT4 S-OFF 0.93 changed to the above. Which I don't understand... I thought that only a Goldcard could do something like that. None of the recovery tools seem to want to deal with HBOOT 0.75 and the fact that I'm S-ON would appear to be a pain.
The other thing that really confuses me is that how come if the phone is S-ON it lets me wipe everything and install the latest Marange MIUI ROMs ? Surely if it's S-ON then these would have to be signed (maybe they are for all I know).
Finally, if I use adb when the phone is stuck in it's MIUI boot logo I'm amazed I can get a root shell.
Anyone got any advice on how my phone got into such a mess, how to fix HBOOT and get a decent ROM running again ?
Any help hugely appreciated. The more detail the better.
Many AtDhVaAnNkCsE
Cheers,
Doug

How where you s-off, with hboot 0.93? Alpharev hboots have 6.93 etc.
Anyways, did you try the 2.3 RUU? Check my sig.
You can flash roms with s-on, but you can't change recovery.

To be honest I couldn't quite remember the state of my HBOOT I just new that it had been newer than 0.75, possibly 0.80, and that I had S-OFF and PVT4.
Your suggestion worked perfectly! I ran the RUU without issue to upgrade to 2.3 which gave me a new 1.x HBOOT and then I ran revolutionary and was then able to install MIUI. Smooth as...
Thank you so much!
I find the howto guides out there have lots of how but not too much why. I like detail on why things work or don't. Like why did that RUU work when so many others I tried didn't... did HTC make RUU 2.3 more forgiving in it's identification of supported phones ?
Anyway, once again many thanks for your kind help.
Cheers,
Doug
