Since the recent Gingerbread test leak for the Desire Z is... well, a test... would the HBOOT included be an engineering HBOOT? I don't want to try it myself in case it isn't an engineering one and won't be able to downgrade

Rmk has already compiled the test rom into a zip flashable from recovery that does not include the hboot. You need to go to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1012763
I know he's already done that (already flashed it ), I'm just wondering if the HBOOT included is engineering or not, so I could flash it the PC10IMG.zip way.

can you please provide the link?
My bootloader is .80 and software number is 2.09.405.8
Radio version is 4.06.00.02_2
That radio is an old one so I'm guessing you're on a custom ROM at present...if you were on the proper FroYo ROM you'd have the same radio as me (see signature)

how can I update the radio? The radios I have found needs rooting before upgrading. and my froyo cannot be rooted.
If you're on FroYo you should be on the radio I'm on as 720p doesn't work with the old radio - which is why I asked if you're on a custom ROM. The new radio is on the OTA update and should be installed as part of the update
If you use an official update you will get the latest radio (5.09.00.20), the latest software (2.09.405.8) and the latest bootloader (0.92). It isn't currently possible to root this.
If you're running 1.x software (i.e. Android 2.1) you can root the phone and install a rooted Froyo ROM and the latest radio. This is the only way at the moment to have Froyo rooted.
If you have upgraded to Froyo without rooting and have a 4.x radio, something has gone wrong with your update.
thats what i did, rooted 2.1 then updated radio to froyo radio then used a stock but rooted 2.2 with hboot 0.80 from macado.

you are right. I upgraded to froyo without rooting and stuck with 4.x radio. the Rom is working fine except I cannot install any application from android market or from pc. what can I do now? even if I can go back to my 2.1 Rom, that will be fine with me. please help.
If you don't want to root then you can just apply the Froyo RUU:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...3.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed.exe
If your phone is branded you will need a goldcard for that to work.
Right, now we're getting somewhere!!
Where did you get the Desire in the first place? You'll need to find the RUU for the ROM your phone originally came with
All ROMs can be found here:

This Rom has worked. I created gold card and flashed the Rom.
Thanks a lot.
Received a new DHD and looking to put the MIUI custom rom on it.
I've been reading about and its not quite the same as rooting my old HTC HERO. I've looked around and currently my orange is
Baseband 12.27b
Kernel 2.6.32
Build 1.40.61
Software 1.40

Can I go ahead and follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537 to S-off and install clockwork + custom rom?
I dont have to create a goldcard or anything?
yes I think you can do it just installing visionary+, if this doesn't work try to download and utilize a stock rom with 1.15 o 1.32 version. If both of them doesn't work... do a goldcard.
Hello, i have unlocked my phone with htc official tool, and it have installed a 1.03.0003 hboot. Now I want to flash a custom rom. But it is possible to "undo" all and go back to a 0.93 hboot for flashing (example) cm7 based roms?
Thanks
NO...i think....
Apparently it is possible to gain root access, but about changing hboot I'm not so sure if revolutionary team would bother with it. In summary - fail.
SwiftKeyed from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk.
in fact, i am now able only to install stock hboot custom roms, like ics beta.. revolutionary tool works only with 1.02 hboot, at the moment.. I have tried goldcard, flash old hboot with fastboot, but nothing.. Hope someone will be able to "delete" this hboot...
I want to update my HTC Desire (AMOLED) with the current hboot of 0.75.
For revolutionary I need a hboot of 0.93. So, what's the best way to do it? I can't find a good tutorial. Can I simply download the hboot image from anywhere and flash it via CWM 2.x?
Is the current ROM safe or have I to reinstall it?
Thanks!

Use alpharev and follow the instructions there.
It is recommended that you return to rooted stock ROM before you S-OFF but it is not essential (I didn't).

Most roms wont work. Its certainly safest and best practice.
Thanks for reply!
Today I installed a prerooted stock froyo rom, but Alpharev won't work. Here's the error.
Is there another simple way to update the hboot to 0.93 so I can use revolutionary?
I believe you can flash the official Gingerbread rom found on HTCdev site. This will upgrade your rom to Gingerbread as well as your hboot. Then use revolutionary to s-off.

I'm still paranoid about that piece of crap. Please don't, just use a stock 2.2 RUU, anyone you want if you have a goldcard (preferably 2.2)
you can try alpharev

hi all , i have a problem with my one x.
i'm trying to update to JB but every time when i change the hboot from 1.12 to greater ones - 1.28 to 1.39 the onex is stuck to boot loop.
i can revert to 1.12 due tot the fact that i have S-OFF and i can also install non sense JB - as CM10 but, i would like to install the official JBRUU or at least some other custom rooms that are with the official version.
any ideas, cause i'm out of it?

Lucky you having S-OFF. S-ON is a pain.
Have you only updated HBOOT? I think you might also need a ROM and kernel that are compatible with the newer firmware

I did, as soon as i'm upgrading to 1.29 or higher my one x is stuck in the boot loop.
my cid is 11111111 .
any ideas ?
by the way is there any hboot below 1.29? any place from where i can download it?
Have you flashed a compatible JB sense rom before upgrading the HBOOT,or flashing the Rom after upgrading?

with 1.12 i was able to successfully install CM 10, nightly builds, but as soon as i have update my Hboot no other JB sense ROM has worked.
The only way to make my phone work again was to run the Europe RUU ICS 1.20.401.1 which revert my HBOot to 1.12.
Any suggestion?
I may be wrong here, as I'm new to HTC. But doesn't being s-off, as in a super-CID mean you can use any RUU? i.e. running a jb RUU would contain the correct Hboot.
