Thanks a lot!
Thank you very much! I was looking for one of those hboots. Considering it's no longer necessary to have the ENG version for CM6 I want to have the latest version.

Sorry for the noob question but after I downloaded my phone can't find a program to open the file. Do I need to hook up my pc to the phone and open it with the pc? I'm just trying to figure out how to place the files on the root of my sd card so I can flash...right?
Thanks
Charles
Just place it on the root of your SD card, then power off and boot into Hboot by holding down volume down and pressing the power button. the phone will recognize the pc36img.zip file and ask you if you want to update. select yes, wait for it to complete. and then select yes when it asks you if you want to reboot.
How do you know which hboot the phone is running ? (I'm on CM)
what benefits does having a newer hboot give?
I still run eng 76.2000 and havent had any issues

I flashed to 2.10.0001 hboot today and my phone would not boot. I am running CM6 6.1.1. I was told that after flashing hboots you will have to reflash your kernel. This seems like very important info to know so I just wanted to throw it out there if anyone gets stuck in my boat. It's just a good idea in general to keep the current kernel you are using on your SD just in case. Hope this helps any issues
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
I am not sure what I did but I have been on an old version of Amon recovery. I got the urge to update to newer version and also flashed clockwork thru Rom Manager...
I went to go into recovery to Flash ....as most addicts do...and I could not get past Hboot. THANK YOU......Tried every pc36img I could find to no avail until finding these.
Hboot .76....

Did you get the superuser-app installed? Then you should be rooted successfully and something else is in the way.

Your problem can be that You still have S-on I think you need to be S-Off to be able to flash anything.. someone correct me if I'm wrong..
my recommendation would be use unrevoke to root your phone and get S-off...
Hope I help...

You are correct, S-ON is the issue, you need S-OFF. I helped another person with this, and S-ON was the issue.

That didn't work. Unrevoke couldn't re-root the phone saying the firmware was too new. Any other ideas???
Go here, to Unrevoked's website. Download the S-OFF zip (read instructions under Installation Instructions, everything is there), and there you go.
Thanks. It works perfectly.
No problem man, glad it worked for you!

I recently bought a Desire (A8183) and it came with HBOOT 0.75.0000 and I am trying to get S-OFF on it. I tried using AlphaRev and it came up with an error in step 3. How do I overcome this?
The phone still works fine.

1st: Wrong topic, you should post it in Q&A.
2nd: Have you flashed any custom ROM??? If so, thats why you cannot S-OFF it, try any near-to-stock, froyo rooted rom and then try again, this will do the trick
Cheers

Oops, wrong subforum, didn't realise.
Yes I'm running a custom ROM I'll try a Froyo-based ROM and see if that helps.
It's a shame that Revolutionary doesn't support this version of HBOOT, is there any way of 'tricking' Revolutionary to S-OFF the 0.75 HBOOT?

You can always update bootloader... if you have a goldcard then put the attached file in the root of your sd-card, and then boot into bootloader and wait for it do do it's thing.. when it prompts you select yes. This will update your bootloader to version 0.93.1002
You shouldn't lose any data, but do make a backup of the ROM in recovery in case you get a bootloop.
Then run Revolutionary.

I downloaded the file and put it on the root sdcard... Bootloader seemed to just skip over the file though.
Do I need to change the text file in the zip to my CID or anything else? It doesn't like it
you need a goldcard, so it ignores the CID.. or actually.. what network are you on?
EDIT: Just noticed lol
Wait I'm downloading a Telstra RUU and I'll give you a new PB99IMG
try this. If not, then you can always use the RUU to do a full update, and then S-OFF and flash a custom ROM.
Thanks I'll give it a try.
I have four microSD cards at home and I've tried gold carding all of them... I don't know how successful I was cos I couldn't do what I wanted on the Desire HD

try the goldcard tutorial I posted.
Okay, well I'm gonna get to sleep now but I'll give you some advice before you go.
If you can't update the bootloader with that, I'd suggest backing up your ROM (if you havent done so already), flashing the RUU to bring it up to the latest bootloader version, and then using revolutionary.
Once you've S-OFF'd with revo. Use android flasher to flash recovery (Note: your backup will not work if you do not flash the same version of recovery) and then do a full wipe and flash a ROM of your choice.
Would you happen to know where I can get the original Telstra RUU from? I think that might be my best bet.
Thanks for your help!

Thanks - this looks like it worked now HBOOT 0.93.0001, running revolutionary now.
Is there any benefit in upgrading HBOOT at all? What does 1.02.0001 offer?
Hboot 1.xxxx is the stock hboot for gingerbread. So it offers you nothing. By flashing a hboot like cm7 (most roms fit in this hboot), you get much more space for installing apps, because its /data partition is much bigger.

Hi all, I have a Incredible 2 that I just took out to see what I can do with it. I want to sim unlock it for international use but so far it has not been working the way I wanted Right now it is S-off, HBOOT 6.13.1002 with radio 1.09.01.0622. I am currently on Incredible 2 HD rls 1.1 and I inserted a att sim and it still said no service. I went to change it to gsm only and rebooted and it still say no service. I heard that there's a gsm patch but it's for version 4.02 of this rom and it was recommended not to flash with the 1.1 release. I also do have a unlock code from verizon but I do not know how to revert back to the stock rom and keep s-off. Would someone help me please? Thank you so much!
Edit for more information:
The phone now is not using verizon, I did get the carrier unlock code from verizon but I do not know how to enter it because I'm not on stock rom. Also putting in a t-mobile sim or a att sim didn't pop up a sim unlock code for me to enter in If I am missing anymore information please let me know so you guys can help me out! Thank you.
If you can find a copy of skyraider, use that. It's based on stock, so it can be unlocked.

Never mind, is this it? http://rootzwiki.com/topic/8577-romgb-skyraider-zeus-13-inc2-4086053/page__st__40 Also something seems to be wrong with my phone, it can never connect to google market! I wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache before all rom. Is there anyway I can set this phone back to complete stock from verizon? Like wipe everything and starts fresh? No matter what rom I tried it just won't connect to google market or make any sim work.
What is the best way to go back to complete stock while still keeping s-off, and unlock bootloader? If I can't then I do not mind going back to the latest stock recovery for this phone, as long as I can sim unlock fine! Thanks for your help!

From the OP in the first link:
"AGAIN... this will put you back to unrooted stock with stock kernel, latest radio and stock recovery. It will not remove S-off."
Re-obtaining root is easy if you still have s-off.

After you run the PG32IMG or whatever it is called, take it off your sd card, or rename it. Otherwise it will try to run every time your phone passes the bootloader. You don't want that to happen.
I don't have an actual sd card... I think I will just put it into the internal memory and use recovery to install the zip right? Or do I just put it on there, reboot and it will automaticaly start installing?

I don't think it will run from internal memory, and you don't use recovery for this one.
either I'm blind or I can't find a slot for the actual sd card.... I don't think this phone is expandable.

If you have an Incredible 2...take off the back cover, it is just below and to the left of the battery. It's microsd. You can't do much without it since the internal memory is about 1gb total.

I used AndyBonestock, but SkyRaider should work fine too.
Aha duhh I'm so blind.. found it Let me try the original stock first to get rid of funky stuff...then I will try the rest of the roms...
Alright, I have successfuly restored it to stock but I am now unrooted and on 2.3.4 so how would I root this baby and put clockwork mod recovery touch or 4ext touch and start installing roms that will work for GSM such as the incredible hd release 1.1 or the virtuousaffinity? AndroidICS or something like that I heard is also GSM compatible.
s-off is still there and I still have the revolutionary info in hboot but just not rooted and no recovery installed

You need to follow the root instructions for installing recovery, then flash a superuser zip in that new recovery. I don't have all the links or the downloads, but that should be enough info to get you there.
Edit:
Also, you may have to sim unlock it before doing anything else I'm not familiar with that since I'm on big red, so search around and maybe someone with better knowledge will answer here.
I have just sim unlocked it but since it's 2.3.4 it looks like I have to ues the htc dev unlock to root? Or is there a one click tool to use since I'm already s-off?

No dev unlock needed, just install recovery and flash superuser.
But I'm not rooted so how can I flash recovery? please show me how to do this ...
