Updating Hboot - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sorry for the question, this must get asked a million times but I can't find any clear instructions when searching. I want to update my hboot to .92 but I'm not sure how to do it. Do I just flash the zip from clockworkmod or is there some other way to do it?

all you have to do is
1.download this http://adrynalyne.us/?p=55(if you dont have it already)
2. make sure to rename it PB31IMG.ZIP
3 put on Sd card (in no folders)
4. reboot to hboot (hboot will see the update)
4.1. volume up to yes.
5.make sure hboot says the new version.
6. delete the PB31IMG.ZIP from your sd card
thats it

Just make sure to do a nandroid this will delete your kernel or Rom

When the phone reboots, it will boot to bootloader over and over...which is fine..navigate to recovery and then reflash your nandroid

After updating my HBoot from 0.76.2000 to 0.97.0000, NAND is now showing as S-On in the boot loader. Is this supposed to happen? Do I need to go through the NAND-unlock steps again?
Thanks in advance.

I'd try to upgrade to .92. And you might just need to run the S-OFF tool.

[Q] Very important Question

Please guide me how to check if i have desire z hboot or g2? just saw the tweet by rmk, he said next unity release will require desire z hboot and i am not sure which one i have, i am also sure it will also help other noobs like me
Vision Pvt S-off
Hboot: 0.82.0000
Radio: 26.03.02.26_emmc
quickest way is to check internal storage.... (if you have 1.28GB you got G2 less you got DZ)

ok it means i have g2 hboot, bro i dont have computer, can i change my hboot with the one posted by rmk on his site and without using computer? i mean putting that pc10img.zip file on root of my sdcard, and than reboot to hboot which its read automaticaly, and let it update?
Yea you could, just when it tells you to do adb recovery just go to the recovery through the bootloader...just after you are done flashing the bootloader replace the sdcard (temporaraly) with another one so the bootloader doesn't try to reflash itsel
Although... I wouldn't do this because you need your comp to. Check the md5 sum of the PC10IMG.zip... which just makes sure that there were no download errors....

Rooting

Is there a way to root in bootloader? Thanks.
Fairly certain i told you this before, but for gingerbread, go to revolutionary.io, install the driver, boot into the bootloader, connect as fastboot, follow the instructions.

No that type of PC36IMG won't work. Are you sure you have the revoultionary.io drivers installed?
Pretty sure you need Usb debugging on when you have it plugged in for revolutionary to read it

That's correct, though he can't get into the os because he bootloops. I'd say flash a new boot.img via fastboot, but he's having trouble getting the device to read.

Try this PC36IMG file on your SD card
http://goo-inside.me/supersonic/ruu...15.00.11.19_NV_1.90_release_161482_signed.zip
It won't root your phone, but might get rid of the bootloop.

Ok hboot update.
it is a ruu file that you run from your pc to go back to stock "just out of the box". it may get rid of your issues. Thats the first thing I would try. dont worry about s-on or s-off and all that...just run it.

I renamed it to PC36IMG and flashed it from my sd card it updated the hboot and still bootlooping and it wasn't an rru file it was a zip file.
Did u flash any voltage lowering scripts like vipermod? Also are u now s-on or s-off? Since you are back to stock now and are still getting reboots, I would say u may be sol. Get it replaced

ClockworkMod recovery was installed but due to unknown reason I cannot boot into recovery. When I try to get into recovery the phone gets stuck at HTC boot screen.
Did you try reflashing the recovery?

That's what I would have asked, too.
Look here for files (search, where it says "6: Custom Recoveries"). I've always done it by following method: "3) Via PC49IMG.zip Process (Needs S-OFF) - Download anyone of the PC49IMG ZIP file of the recovery you wish to install, place on your SDcard, and reboot into HBoot Mode ..."
' Well, when I've run ruu's on my phone. It never touched the bootloader because it was newer than the one in the ruu. So after that I just flashed cwm and a superuser zip and carried on as normal
EDIT: Also, can you get into recovery through hboot?

right. But as a hint: if you do it with method 3) and you want to go into recovery with Fastboot after flashing a new one - you have to get the PC49IMG.zip out of the SDCARD's root first (e.g. connect to USB or put the card into a card reader to remove it)
I flashed the shipped ROM and I am glad that it didn't remove S-OFF. After that I rooted my device using SuperOneClick. Thinking of staying with this ROM for a while before reflashing ClockWorkMod. Thanks a lot guys for your help.

How to restore Nandroid backup?

The kicker is, i lost root on my phone... no Recovery.. i can get into HBoot...
My phone is always stuck on reboot loop.. theres a few odd times where it makes it into OS but then reboots again.
So I was going to my old files and noticed that I still have my Nandroid backup, so if i put this back onto my phone, will it be saved?
I cant even get it too root without the phone rebooting..
What root method did you use? What hboot do you have? Are you still s-off? What were you running prior to this happening like rom ect ? Have you tried a RUU yet? This type of information can help people try to figure out how to fix it

Since revolutionary only requires the phone to be in fastboot to s-off it. Plug your phone into your computer install the required drivers and run revolutionary program it should read your device and precede from there by typing your beta key from the website and installing a recovery from the revolutionary program. Then wipe and flash a custom rom

If you can get into fastboot in the bootloader you might be able to s-off with revolutionary. Just have to hope the program can find the device in fastboot first. Have you tried running the RUU again?

since the phone was stuck in the boot loop, i kinda left it alone for few months.. i dugged it back out and remember about this issue...
So does the phone need to boot all the way into the OS for s-off to work or it might work in hboot?
i can get into hboot no problem...

Do I need to install the Android SDK
I think you do, I believe most root methods use a combination of adb and fastboot. After you install it, make sure you're running the root method from the same directory as adb.exe and fastboot.exe are in (should be platform-tools).
i have places the adb.exe and fastboot.exe in the same directory as revolutionary but it still waiting for device...

Can you access your sdcard? Because if you can download a recovery and rename it PC36100.ZIP and put it on the root of your sdcard. When you go to your bootloader just go into the menu with the recovery option (Cant remeber atm) and it should come up asking you if you want to update the file. Press whatever button it asks you to press then you should get recovery

Which RUU ROM to use?

Hi,
I would like to return to the stock ROM on my Desire. Problem is, I don't know which RUU to get. At the moment I am using CyanogenMod 7.
Did some digging and found the app called CID Getter. If there is any info there I must provide, please tell me.
Also is there anything special to be done with the RUU or do I install it as I do any rom?
Thank you.

Would doing this remove s-off or clockwork or anything else? Or could I just re instal another custom after?
It will remove everything. You can use revolutionary after you install a custom recovery and s-off.
This is the kernel, albeit you'll have a hard time achieving what you told and it will net you virtually no gain because poor cpu is not the main drawback this phone has.

I've used revolutionary to achieve s-off and flash CWM. Afterwards I flashed cm7r2 hboot with P99IMG.
