[Q] After s-off life..

Some help please...
I've switched to s-off with XTC clip, but now I'm stuck in order to root with hboot 1.0.1. Followed couple of guides like this onefor making a goldcard and custom recovery with PC49IMG.zip to no avail. In fastboot it doesn't give me the choice for the new firmware... thus can't recover unsigned or custom rooted roms. Somewhere in the process I'm mistaken or repeat an error that I cannot find... anyway
How can I recover an earlier RUU from microSD in order to downgrade the bootloader? I don't have a specific choice since I'll go with custom roms just wanna root with an earlier hboot that unrevoked can handle...(english of course)
Apologize in advance since I'm a noob and such subjects have been covered before but i'm tired of rebootin the phone and searchin threads... if anybody can pinpoint me the RUU and the exact process with the standard recovery I would be glad!!! Thanks again..
*In case of a computer need, linux is prefered..

tried to flash with fastboot a cwm recovery ending in a : writing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)..
Also tried to flash with recovery an update.zip ending in signature verification abort..
Still can't get it... it is supposed to be easy ???

If you got s-off:
1) get and flash normally from windows this rom:
RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.37.405.1_Radio_13.53.55.24H_3.35.19.25_release_151892_signed.exe
2) use unrevoked 3.2 (not latest)
and it will install recovery, after that put some roms onto sd card and flash from recovery
thats it. :> short guide

remote is not supported by your Hboot version, you have to downgrade your rom to 2.1 first and then root it using unrevoked 3.2 test version.

Thanks people! I'm ok now

[Q] Rerooting device is safe?

Hi, I have 2 desire bravo, one is Amoled and the other is Slcd,
I rooted the amoled one with alpharev.nl, and everything works ok...
But i bought the S-LCD one already rooted, the one who sell me it told me that he rooted it with "unrevocked forever". it's s-off with CWM recovery and every thing work but i cant flash radio, hboot and recovery via fastboot, it also told me : FAILED (remote: not allowed)
is there a solution for this?
is it safe to reroot my device using alpharev.nl?
thx

you don't flash the radio through recovery. You flash it through fastboot!!

It's recommend to do this since one is S-OFF, you are right. But it's only really necessary if one's using a hboot with a /cache partition <35-40 mb.

I'am not flashing the radio through recovery. i am doing it with fastboot.
with the SLCD one i got this error when flashing hboot or radio :
sending 'hboot' (512 KB)... OKAY [ 0.094s]
writing 'hboot'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)

Doublecheck your bootloader if you are really S-OFF.

I have bravo stock hboot with 40M cache, so i had already tried to flash radio through CWM recovery and i got an error like :
amend scripting (update script) is no longer supported..

yes it's s-off!! it's weird.

That means your recovery is too modern for the script you want to flash. Since version 3.xxx cwm uses a newer scripts, but not all flashable zips support this. So you need to change recovery. This has to be done via fastboot. So we need to get your fastboot working:
Installed HTC drivers correctly?
Running windows or ubuntu (linux)?

Unrevoked forever is for cdma and cdma are dvt not pvt so that's not right

Oh thanks rootSU, only read "unrevoked".

In the same computer, it work with another Desire bravo that i rooted with alpharev

So what's your problem? I do not get it.

in the same computer fastboot work with on a bravo amoled device, and dont work with an other bravo scld device..
i think that the probleme is that the slcd one is not rooted well.
is it safe to reroot it with alpharev even it's s-off on bootloader?
thx

Okay, now I get it. No, I would say to set the slcd one back to stock and then S-OFF and root with revolutionary:
http://revolutionary.io
But read the documentation page carefully and make sure your hboots is supported. If it's not, use unrevoked (first) and alpharev (second) seperately.

okey i will do that
thx MatDrOiD

Anytime. Don't forget the thanks-button.

kotag82,
Thanks for your reply.
Yes, I use RUU_HTC Desire Android 2.3 Upgrade (Gingerbread) but fail shown error code [152] : IMAGE UPDATE ERROR
No, it stay on black screen with HTC logo and 4 triangels after reboot.

where phone got stuck on 152 error? was it system, radio etc
try to flash alpharev downgrade via fastboot and reboot again to fastboot
then run ruu and pray...

This has happened before in the sandvold irc. It lasted a while before I left. I'm not sure if it got fixed in the end. We tried everything we could think of. I certainly had decided it was bricked. Last I knew, _thalamus had started asking qquestions so if anyone knows whether it was recovered, it will be him...

My Desire shows Bootloader and System - Fail PU after flashing RUU. The fastboot command can be still worked in DOS mode but adb command isn't work.

That is better, I was afraid of radio fail...
Flash downgrade hboot from alpharev and then RUU

Not much help at this point but I had a desire in the same state a few weeks ago and it lives and breathes again. For the life of me I cant remember how I finally fixed it.
I believe I had to create a goldcard and flash an RUU.
IIRC you have a Locked bootloader. There is a section on the HTC website that might help.

what happens when you try to flash an alpharev hboot?

This is much more serious than yours. This has had an spl from another device flashed. All op can hope if that fastboot will flash a new hboot.

That's just great. Apparently Black Rose employs a similiar protection like Alpharev. Better contact the dev team of BR, and get them to help unlock it.

Btw...you should have searched well... I found it in 5 seconds.
If you would like to unlock protection

Unlock it, then flash Alpharev followed by Boot, Recovery and Radio for the Desire (NOT Nexus One!).
Once you get the correct radio and recovery on it, you can install a custom rom.

I flash this RUU RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed
But failed with error code 110 and showed system -Fail PU.
Can you suggest any RUU for HTC Desire?

That is from my pm to dla5244... who is started this thread
Sorry about this we have a guy here who flashed BlackRose on HTC Desire - someone told him ?!? Could you please take a look on safe removal of BlackRose and get stock or alpharev hboot on[/QUOTE]
Wow...
Did you flashed blackrose on your desire?
First, disable flashing protect by using blackrose installer.
(Advanced section, ignore device list)
Then, fastboot flash hboot (alpharev image file name)

[Q] Problem with New ClockWorkMod ROM in my HTC Desire

Morning,
Please recently i have flashed a new Custom ROM in my HTC Desire A8181 that i found in ClockWorkMod web site!!! I flashed it in my phone with Rom Manager Premium v4 because more recent ROM Manager didn't install in my HTC Desire with Android 2.1 update 1. The Recovery that i used is one which installed by unrevoked3! The Problem is after installation of new ROM my phone doesn't boot well! It show the first white screen with HTC writed on it after it's showing black screen with ANDROID writed on it and stop there! No more action!!! I don't understand!!!
My radio is 4.05.00.11
HBOOT 0.75.0000
S-ON
I can't pass in S-OFF because revolutionnary doesn't work with my model HBOOT! How can i do! I wonder if it's possible to reinstall a new ROM in Recovery mode!!!

use bortak's troubleshooting guide stickied to the top of Q&A
you'll need to RUU, recommend the 2.3.3 GB one. then use revolutionary to s-off. afterwards flash 4ext recovery (see my sig), it's better and can partition your sd card properly. then full wipe and flash a new rom.
uninstall rom manager, do not use it on this phone, it is bad for desire. it may be the reason you're having these problems in the first place.

Problem with fastboot or bootloader!
Please, i can't use fastboot in my PC well! When i try some instruction like flash my hboot to a newer in fastboot SDK because my hboot is too old to be S-OFF by revolutionnary I got an error! It say it can verify the signature of my bootloader! That's what writen in my command!
c:\fastboot>fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphasspl.img
sending 'hboot' (512KB)...
OKAY [ 0.095s]
writing 'hboot'...
(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote:signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 0.169s
It does same thing i try to erase system,boot or userdata!Please help!

slow down, have you even followed the guide?
- have you installed the fastboot drivers in order to be able to use it.
- you can't flash an hboot unless you are s-off
- run the 2.3.3 RUU like i said, then s-off using revolutionary
try the guide again..

Okay! Thanks i think that Download RUU Froyo like it says in the tread is the most way for me to resolve my problem!!!

[Q] desire z problems(unlocked, but somehow still s-on, no working rom)

This is my first time trying to get a custom rom working so bear with me.
situation:
rooted = yes , unlocked = yes , S-ON!
clockworkmod working, but cant get any rom installed. (no custon , no stock)
no rom on phone atm.
fastboot or hboot dosent let me install anything. (cant write to boot partition)
i have a micro sd reader so i can put roms on sd, but cant seem to get any installed.
now i dont know how to get s-off without having a working rom on my phone.
info:
vision pvt ship s-on
hboot-0.85.0015
clockworkmod recovery v5.8.1.0
Ill try to explain how i got here.
So firstly I relised that I had to unlock my phone and to do that i had to downgrade it first to get it to a correct version.
I used this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912
Everything went well but the desire z PC10IMG.zip: links didnt work so i found somewhere a working one.
Got the phone unlocked via htcdev.com
Then i got cocky.
I got a custom rom and downloaded it and put it on my sd.
Went to clockworkmod and tried to install it.
It didnt work, cause only THEN i realised that i had s-on still somehow. (i may have used 2 or 3 different guides at the same time cause some were old and links broken)

Then your not flashing the kernel correctly. Being your still s-on you need to flash ROM via recovery than kernel via fastboot
So pick out any custom ROM you want and put it on SD
Now boot to recovery and wipe all then flash it
Now boot to bootloader to flash kernel
This is extracted from that ROM you flashed its the boot.img
Now in fastboot mode you need to type in cmd/terminal
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Now
fastboot reboot
Now you'll be in custom ROM and then you can go through the process of obtaining s-off which I highly recommend
If any of this troubles you let me know, but be sure to give full input/output from terminal here if something fails
Happy flashing!

To learn the ins and outs of your phone, and seriously consider s-off now so you won't have to **** around with fastboot flashing kernels each time you want a new ROM
To gain s-off the proper way you will need to downgrade and then follow the wiki, lunks for all this and more in the thread above
Happy flashing!
