So I'm currently running Senseless revolution 2.0 ROM on my incredible. I'm looking to try out the CM7 nightlies and I looked in the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=916881 and it says "Third, make sure you have updated HBOOT (.92), radio images (2.15 series). The newer seem to be working much better." Are both of those necessary to use CM7? How would I go about doing this with my current rom installed? Would I simply put everything on the root of my SD card, boot into CWM, backup my current ROM, install HBOOT, the radio and then the ROM all at once? What would be the correct way of doing this exactly.... Thanks!

cm7 has worked for some without upgrading hboot or radio......but.......if you have any issues with things not working, the first thing that will be suggested is updating hboot and radio. you can flash the rom and see if works for you or not, then decide if you need to update hboot / radio. the links to get the latest of both hboot and radio are in the cm7 thread in the dev section. you need to to one at a time.....I would do hboot first......reboot and then update the radio, if needed.

ok so hboot and the raido update will install from boot loader and not recovery. if you are running revolution 2.0 Im pretty sure you have the updated radio. but to check go to settings -> about phone -> and it should tell you under " Baseband version"
for hboot. you will need to download it from here http://dougpiston.com/?p=44 then check the M5D sum because if this is corrupt then your phone will be toast.
follow this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9968133&postcount=6
let me know if this helped you
Thanks! I guess I already have Hboot .92 as it came with Senseless Revolution 2.0. I'm looking at the thread for the new radio http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=874355 but it doesn't say how to install it??

Same way you would hBOOT. Download the radio zip. Place it on the root of your SD card. Check the m5d sum. Astro file manager can do this for you. Then turn off the phone turn it on while holding volume down. And it should pick it up and ask you to update. But please make sure you check m5d. If the file is corrupt in any way and you try and flash it will brick the phone. And nandroid will not help.

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.

I have searched for the past few days and have become lost in all the threads. I'm looking for what I believe has probably been answered numerous times but have been unable to find. I'm running my DINC with S-Off, .77HBoot, CWM 2.5.0.1 and Radio 2.05.00.6.11. I want to update to the latest radio 2.15 as well as update to .79HBoot and the latest CWM however I don't see anything on the forums on how to update HBoot or CWM. The radio thread in development explains how to do the radio, so I think I can figure that out, however the HBoot and Clockwork recovery, I cannot find threads explaining how to update. What prompted this was the new SkyRaider rom 3.3.1 needs the newer radio and HBoot to work properly. I am currently running 2.5.2 and really want to upgrade this rom. If anyone has a step by step, or can post some threads for me to research I would appreciate it.
Radio Update thread with Radio Files by adrynalyne: Radio Update
How to update HBOOT to .92 with files by adrynalyne: HBoot How To. Scroll down to the heading of HBOOT .92 for the info.
Clockwork should flash by opening ROM Manager, at the top it says Flash ClockworkMod Recovery, if there is a newer version there it will say so. Remember to backup your system by making a nandroid backup first! When I updated to .92 HBOOT, I had to do a restore of my system. I've heard this is common, so remember to make a backup!
Cool, thats what I needed, thx bro.
Hey, no problems bro! Glad to help!
I wanted to report back that everything worked beautifully. I must stress to anyone doing this however make sure you check the MD5 data on all the files you use, as this seems to be one of the main reasons people have problems. Thanks again for all the help.
hey everyone
this is my first time i will root and install new rom on my htc desire, the thing is that i read the tutorials and everything, and i chosed to install cyanogen mod 7 rom, however cyanogen said this

does that mean that i cant install it unless i had 7.0.2 preinstalled on my phone ? which means that for now i should install 7.0.2 ??
please help, and if it is true what is the way to update it after installing the 7.0.2 rom ??

Your hboot is OK, you can go ahead with rooting and S-OFFing your device (which i recommend since you want to run CM7, go with CM7hboot to maximize ROM efficency and properly use phone's memory)
Download 7.0.3 and flash it. what cyangoen said means, that you can go from 7.0.2 to 7.0.3 without wipe (flashing one on top of the other so you dont have to set up your apps and settings again) and also he mentions that if someone was using that weeks nightly build, he/she MUST do a full wipe before flashing 7.0.3 or it wont work
about RADIO
if you were on Official Froyo, you do have correct RADIO
if you werent or if you just want to be up to date, you can do it yourself - download the radio from desire forums here, search for them in the 'Desire index - everything for the desire is here' thread.
download .zip of the radio and flash it from recovery, or if you decide to S-OFF you can also do it by downloading .img of the radio and flasing it using fastboot (you must have [email protected])
go with CM7hboot

HBOOT determines the partition layout in your phone memory.
stock bravo (desire) hboot is 250MB system, 147MB data and 40MB cache
now alpharev made custom hboots, one of them specifically for CM7 (since it didnt need 250MB on system)
and CM7hboot is : system 145M cache 5M data 287M
so u get lots of space for apps, nothing wasted (because u waste 150MB if running CM7 on stock hboot)

It has to be on the root of your sdcard (in no folders) and be named exactly PB31IMG.zip
It should work, you are s-off right?
i used unrevoked to root, and im s-on... i thought i was s-off... whats the difference exactly? i know thats a noob question but i never really understood the difference, i just know i rooted it ha.

S-off dissables hboot security allowing you to flash custom recoveries, raidios, and splash screens thru hboot. It also makes it easier to re root your phone should you some how loose root or need to remove it.
Root is a way to provide you superuser permissions, so you can access all system files and functions from within the android os.
What software version are you on now?
okay thanks for clearing that up for me.
i am currently using, hboot-0.92.0000
and clockworkMod Recovery v.2.5.1.2
cm7.1 nightly i think its like android 2.3.7
and i rooted with unrevoked mac osx.

Hi
I had the same problem on a Desire. Have tried aloth of things, but was stuck on 2.5.0.7 of ClockWorksMod Recovery....
I have now switched to S-OFF - using the Revolutionary tool.
And have now been able to update teh ClockWorksMod Recovery to 5.0.2.0....
I had to change rom to cm7 - but you are on that.
I was on ISC 4.0.3, but the Revolutionary tool didn't work with that rom (or the version I was using)....
Hope this will help you in the right direction...

Ok, I've got a stock Desire (with Three UK) unrooted and I was contemplating on flashing maybe an ICS/JB ROM.
But, I wanted some guidance on what would be the best way to start rooting, etc and any prtions that I need to be wary off.
I'm aware that the Desire does not have a lot of internal memory & did read a few threads on ways the internal storage can be optimised, but am still a little unclear.
I've already read about the unrevoked root process & have downloaded the necessary files. Also, have read on updating the modified USB driver, before rooting through Windows.
Some Guidance would be great ..
If your hboot is 0. 93 or 1. 02 Go to revolutionary.io for one stop solution for rooting/soff.
So, what would be the sequence I need to follow? Would the below sequence be the way to go about?
1. S-Off & Root: I have downloaded the unRevoked Root tool & I believe that it'll also offer S-OFF (Read the guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788044)
2. Before running the unRevoked Root Process, I need to update the Windows HBOOT drivers
3. I believe that the Desire has an internal memory (quite a small one) and my Desire also has an external SD card. I've read a few posts about re-partitioning the internal memory so that there's just enough space for a new ICS/JB Custom ROM, and more space for internal storage. But, I need more simpler info. here.
4. Do I have to update the radio as my Desire still have the 2/3 year old one??
5. Finally, I know how to flash a custom ROM, as I've done it several times on my other phone, Desire HD. I gained root & s-off on the DHD using the AAHK hit.
Unrevoked doesn't s-off. What's your hboot version?
To partition your sd-card properly, use 4ext recovery.

I don't have the phone right now with me as my sister is using it. I can check the HBOOT once I get the phone in a couple of hours.
I've just created a CD disk of GParted (Using ISO) and was planning to use that to create the partitions.
Where can I check for the latest radio for the phone..?
EDIT: Planning to follow this guide, step by step ..

I will get the HBOOT version once I get the Phone in a couple of hours.
Other Info I managed to get from my sister over the phone:
Android: 2.2.2
Baseband: 32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14
Kernel: 2.6.32.15
Build Number: 2.29.771.3CL345089
Software Number: 2.29.771.3
So, I see that there's a newer radio (5.17.05.23) .. Should I go ahead and Flash it? Will it Offer any improvements? Also, I'm in the UK with Three Mobile, does that matter?? i.e is the radio location specific??
na, the radio is the same for all. most devs roms these days say that u must have latest radio so ya mite aswell flash it. the best way to flash it is using fastboot commands, u can look at the guide in my sig and learn about that or if u have the older version of Clockworkmod Recovery (2.5.0.7) installed u cant just flash it like a normal zip file.

no such thing yet as stable JB, but i would say try something stable for a while and get used to being s-off & rooted coz JB isnt stable and will probably end up causing u more problems than u need.

Ok, Im' stuck right now.
I tried to root using UnRevoked 3.32 and it failed gaining root, with a message that maybe a newer firmware.
I then tried revolutionary.io one and it successfully managed to S-OFF & installed CWM recovery 4.x.x . Then I move the Superuser-3.0.7-efgh-signed.zip to the SD card to flash from recovery, to gain root.
But, when I get into CWM recovery, I see all the options but when I select any option all I see is the splash screen with 'revolutionary'. When I hit the power button I am returned to the menu. Only a battery pull gets me out
Need help now as I have S-OFF and No Root. By the way, I also tried another guide to 'root branded devices' and have converted my SD card to a Gold Card successfully. But, the guide doesn't explain how I can gain root after that ..

Are you pressing the trackball to select options within recovery? (Eventually I would recommend switching to 4ext touch recovery, much better and more intuitive)
You only need to flash the zip to root your current Rom, and install root apps like titanium to backup apps and data.
If you have nothing to backup you can already full wipe and install a custom Rom of your choice, because they will come pre-rooted
In terms of getting some much needed memory back what worked for me on my old Desire was to partition my SDcard and install S2e. This was on the CM7 rom but you get the idea...
If you say JB, there will be no recommendation.
If you say otherwise, a lots of options will be there.
You are using froyo. Why don't you go for GB? There are a lots of good ROMs out there.
