how to install oxygen HBOOT

hi
i've just made my desire S-off.
but i wasnt able to flash HBOOT Oxygen rc7
need help
thanks

Did the same thing today, except i was running Oxygen v2.0.3.
All i did was to:
1. Download the PB99IMG_bravo_oxygen.zip from alpharev website
2. Rename it to PB99IMG.zip
3. Place it on the root of the sdcard (not in any subfolders)
4. Enter Hboot (vol-down + power)
5. Here i was asked to update/install , choose "yes"
6. Confirm
Done

it automatically tried to install and appeared following messages

Then you've not got the file on your SD card

Ok. I checked again
This time i got CID incorrect

Think you need a gold card too to do it this way

So what should i do exactly?

Flashing Custom MTD/HBOOT
Once S-OFF is done, you are ready to flash the custom MTD/HBOOT. This step changes your internal memory partition table such that the new RoM can fit appropriately while leaving lot of room for user data. Once this is done, the old RoM will no longer work with the new layout of MTD. Before doing this step, ensure all your backups are in place and you have copied all necessary files to the SD Card. (The ROM .zip and the .zip for HBOOT if you are using method 2 below)
Before you do this, it is a good idea to ensure that your HBOOT download is correct and not corrupted. You can do this but checking the MD5 checksum of your download againts the MD5 checksum listed on alpharev site against the download.You can use any of the free tools available.
There are two ways to do this:
Method 1 - fastboot flash: If you downloaded the .img file linked earlier, use the following procedure to install it:
Power down the phone and turn it back on with the back button pressed down; you will see the "fastboot" screen,
From your PC command line, cd into the folder where your android-sdk is and cd into tools folder,
Connect the phone to PC via USB cable,
Run the following command: 'fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img' replacing the .img filename with the appropriate path and file name (Eg: C:\Downloads\HTC\RoM's\bravo_alphaspl-cm7.img),
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
Select bootloader then select Recovery (use volume up/down to change, and power key to accept the choice),
WARNING: Don't reboot your phone as yet because the MTD you flashed doesn't match your current Rom's layout so it will probably boot-loop or brick your phone,
Method 2 - HBOOT autoflash: If you downloaded the .zip file linked earlier, follow this method:
Rename the .zip file to "PB99IMG.zip" and copy it to the root of your SD card,
Shutdown your phone and restart it into HBOOT (Voldown + power button),
When the phone starts, it automatically will detect the zip file and install the MTD,
Now you can enter recovery and follow the procedure.
Note: Many users have had CID errors when trying this method so it is recommended to use Method 1 above

Thank you very much for the posts I have been looking everywhere for good instructions !!
Unfotunately I get the error
"This application has failed to start because adpwinapi.dll was not found. re installing the application may fix this problem"
Do I need to install android SDK manager again?
edit: nevermind. ADB doesnt recognise my phone

Download latest SDK and make sure you download Android SDK platform-tools revision 3, as well (in the additional packages)
Plus you must install the USB drivers from Unrevoked's site.

it gives my this error : cannot load bravo_aplhaspl-oxygen
what should i do?

Ive done both of that,
my list of ADB devices is still blank >.<
Ive tried using HTC sync before trying unrevoked method and still had the same issue

Did you uninstall HTC Sync?
You have to install HTC Sync first, then uninstall it but leave the drivers installed. Then plug the phone in and do the process in the unrevoked-link which davebugyi has already posted.
The adpwinapi.dll-file is in "platform-tools" folder. Just copy that file into the "tools" -folder (the folder, where the fastboot.exe-file is located) and you're done.

Quick question, will this wipe anything on your drive?

No, it shouldn't, but it's strongly sugggested to nandroid backup your phone beforehand.

Can anyone please explain the advantage of flashing a different HBOOT other than stock rooted one?

LOTS more available memory.
i have the oxygen hboot installed and with a dozen apps i still have 267mb free.
with the stock hboot i would be running out of memory by now

This memory would be RAM memory, right? We're not talking free space for installs, but rather free mem space for running apps?
Also, do I have to S-off to flash hboot? So far I only have rooted device (rooted using unREVOKED).

nope we are talking about space for installing apps
the oxygen hboot alters the partition sizes for system and cache.
whats left is the data partition and thats all all yours
Stock Hboot about 147mb data partition
new hboot 337
so 190mb more

[Q] Where to start?

Hi,
I just bought a Desire today.
its
S-OFF
rooted
running leedroid v2.3d
thats all I know.
Im downloading the InsertCoin Sense 2.1 1.0.8 CM7 Rom right now.
How do I get things right without messing up my phone?
pls someone guide me how to install this rom propely and what's the required files etc2
Im really confused right now.
read a bunch of stuff here and couldnt find an answer
hopefully someone would help me out
thanks!
edit:what's the MD5sum for?
it says as a requirement on the insercoin thread that its either a
A2SD CM7 HBOOT - cm7 hboot from alpharev.nl - the one with 130 mB for /system
- 1 gB ext2/3/4 partition
A2SD+ STOCK HBOOT - stock hboot - the one with 250 mB for /system
- 1 gB ext2/3/4 partition
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
which one should I use/download?
the ROM that I downloaded has a md5sum of MD5: b7e9f7e7dc60b79874920dfcde50ac76
please please anyone?

MD5 sum is to chceck if your download was uncorrupted. MD5 of downloaded file must be identical to the one provided in ROM thread ALWAYS CHECK MD5 SUMS, if you flash for example corrupted hboot or radio it WILL brick your device
now, what you must do, since you are already rooted and S-OFFed:
1) make sure you have 1GB ext3/4 partition on your SD card, AFTER FAT32
if it is there, you are OK, if not use Gparted (bootable CD) to make one, mount SDcard in recovery and partition your SD
2) since you downloaded CM7 hboot version of insertCoin go to alpharev.nl and download CM7r2 PB99IMG then put it to the root of your SDcard and boot phone into bootloader (vol down+power) then wait until it finds the file and accept the flashing of new hboot >> this will change partition layout. [2nd method possible but you would have to have ADB @ pc correctly set up, which i doubt you have, so do it PB99IMG way CHECK MD5)
3) boot into recovery, wipe all, wipe dalvik and choose to flash downloaded insertcoin.zip
once it ends reboot, and after 15min it should boot up android, if not pull the battery cause smth didnt work out.
what could have gone wrong:
-your sd-ext wasnt done properly (double check or re-do)
-your recovery was outdated (report back here, i will help you updating it)

thanks for the response!
how do i check for the md5 of my downloaded file?
I have a clockworkmod v2.5.0.7
im downloading gparted now and will the files on to a disc after.
or can I use any partition master apps?like minitool or easeus partition?
please guide me how to partition it properly
its a 16gb kingston class 6
and how do i update my recovery just do be sure
edit: sorry for these noobie questions. I was really shocked how hard it is compared to flashing hd2s and defys
and yeah I have adb installed on my pc with the required files in it. the thing is I never used it. not even once sorry :0
anyway will try repartitioning my sd card now

you can check MD5 with program called HashTAB: once you install it, right click on file, choose properties and choose file hashes panel.
updating your recovery: find topic here on desire forums for clockwork mod 4.0.0.5 - if you download a .zip file you can use a fake-flash method which means booting into CWM 2.5.0.7 then choosing to flash CWM4.0.0.5.zip and this will launch new CWM, however you must do it every time you go into recovery.
if you want a permanent install of CWM 4.0.0.5 download its .img file, check MD5, put it into your androidSDK folder, put your phone into fastboot mode (back+power) and in windows command prompt (cmd) type:
cd X:/ANDROIDSDKLOCATION/tools [navigate to your SDK installation folder]
fastboot devices [this should give a serial number]
fastboot flash recovery FILENAME.img [.img file must be inside /tools folder]
and it will flash it permanently
you can find a video tutorial on how to partition SD in Desire Android Development sticky thread, its one of the first 3 or 4 threads, videos for noobs, all is there
also in thread tagged [TUT] you can find video on how to use ADB

I just partitioned my sd properly w/ gparted
downloaded the Desire_recovery-clockwork-4.0.0.5-j_r0dd_mod.zip
what do you recomend?fake flash or flash it permanently?
and could you please clarify this
2) since you downloaded CM7 hboot version of insertCoin go to alpharev.nl and download CM7r2 PB99IMG then put it to the root of your SDcard and boot phone into bootloader (vol down+power) then wait until it finds the file and accept the flashing of new hboot >> this will change partition layout. [2nd method possible but you would have to have ADB @ pc correctly set up, which i doubt you have, so do it PB99IMG way CHECK MD5)

I downloaded the PB99IMG_cm7r2.zip, what should I place on the root of my SD card?the zip file or the .IMG file?then once I press vol+power I just wait then accept then it will install it?
then after that I just copy the nandroid backup onto my SD card and flash?
one more thing.
what's the best or recommended radio?
note:I cant connect to any data connection.either using 2g/wcdma,wdcma only or 2g only.
I dont know if it's the rom or what.hope its not a hardware issue though
My reception is always full by the way
note:here's what I did. placed the PB99IMG.zip on the sd then turned the device off then pressed vol down + power, a prompt asked for a update.I said yes then asked me to reboot. I answered no then went to clockwork recovery then flashed the insercoin rom after wiping cache and dalvik and factory data reset.rebooted the device and now im waiting for my phone to completely boot.
hope I made everything right

you gotta read more carefully dude
as i said, if you downloaded CWM.ZIP (ZIP FILE) FAKE-FLASH is the ONLY thing you can do with it. if you would have .IMG FILE permanent flasing from fastboot would be the only possibility. SOZ BOUT THAT !!! i just looked at this files, it is not flashable ZIP, this is an .img file packed into a .zip (LOL) unpack it, check MD5 Sum provided inside the .zip file and flash it using fastboot !!!
also some instructions taken from alpharev.nl (they are just under the table with hboots): You can also download the corresponding PB99IMG zipfile, put it on your sdcard, and rename it to PB99IMG.zip. Then start the phone in HBOOT mode (VolDown+POWER) to flash the HBOOT without a PC. It is however still necessary to either restore your nandroid, or reflash your ROM after doing this. The partition LAYOUT has changed, the actual data still needs to be 'moved'.
so rename the cm7r2.zip you have to PB99IMG.zip and put it on your SD (not in any folders) then go to bootloader with VolDown+Power, wait around 10 seconds and confirm flashing new HBOOT
after doing this, you cannot simply restore a NANDROID (if a ROM was made for stock hboot, it will not work on CM7 hboot this should be kinda obvious) you must flash a ROM designed form CM7 hboot so, for example InsertCoin CM7 (it is because on stock hboot system files are 250MB, and then on CM7 you have only 145mb, so restoring a NANDROID that had 250MB/system wont work, wont fit, wont boot)
i suggest you read full info available on www.alpharev.nl
best radio ? well i am an up-to-date geek so i always use the newest though you should be fine with any. if you encounter any problems though (with reception or wifi etc) you should consider upgrading your RADIO. however if you will change your HBOOT to CM7 (which is also treated as data++ by alpharev AND Ultimate Online Kitchen cause of the /cache size) you will be able to flash new radio ONLY from fastboot (it is also said on alpharev.nl :If you downloaded Bravo Data++, please notice the /cache partition is too small to hold Radio flashes from recovery. You can however flash the radio just fine with 'fastboot flash radio radio.img'. Just extract the radio.img from the radio update.zip beforehand.)
about data connection.
go into settings > wireless > acces points (you gotta find it, i dunno how are these named in other laungauges) and set up your APN correctly (you should find correct settings for your mobile provider on thier website, or just google it)
closing remarks:
remember that if ANYONE was helpful to you, hit the 'thanks' button if you got any more questions, i am more than happy to help

thanks a lot bro!
Im now running on insertcoin w/o any probs.
many many thanks for your help.
PS:gave you a couple of thanks

Change the room

Hey guys. I just wanted to tell u that am in Cyangonen room and my cell phone is already s-off and I did the partion to internal memory for Cm r2 but I want to try another room which is muiu room. But I can't flash it through recovery. Is it because of the partion? If yes; how can I flash it again?
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk

Why you cant flash it, any error?

Make sure you configured your sd card corresponding to the miui version you flash.

when using the cm7 hboot you need to flash the market cache fix after you flash the ROM.. and if you're unable to flash it through recovery I'd try turning off signature verification (in advanced settings).
If I were you I'd use the Data++ hboot for MIUI though.. worked better for me on that. And always remember to check the MD5Sums when flashing hboots, as a corrupted file can brick your phone.

and +1 to that, you need an EXT partition, you can use gparted or minitool partition wizard. I'd recommend EXT4 since it's meant to give better performance, but cation: not all ROM's support EXT4

don't know really. it takes a long time ( more than 30 min). so i removed the battery for 5 min. and i wipe data and everything else than I went back to CM room
and it works fine for me

Thank you so much sir.
But i used the CM R2 partion, can i use the data++ partion on the it from flashing it through recovery?
if yes how?
because I was thinking to make the phone s-on again and use the room then i'll make it s-off again and do the partion thing?
Do u think this will work??
Thanks you again

If you have 1 EXT partition make sure you are flashing A2SD version.
Also full wipe/factory reset & dalvik wipe prior to flashing new ROM.

you don't need to go S-ON and then back to S-OFF to change the hboot..
visit www.alpharev.nl and flash it through FASTBOOT NOT recovery
and again, remember to check the MD5 with the tool I gave you!!!

how can i flash it through the fastboot?!!! i only know how to do it through the recovery?
Thanks dude

you can either do it with cmd or you can use fastboot commander to do it, fastboot commander would be easier as it has a GUI that is easy to work with, however it requires Java JDK and Android SDK. It's use is pretty self explanatory, so you should understand how to use it pretty easily.
If you would like to do it through cmd (also requires android sdk.. or at least fastboot.exe) then put your downloaded hboot.img into c:\ and type:
Code:
cd c:\android-sdk/tools
fastboot flash hboot c:\bravo_alphaspl-data.img
fasboot reboot bootloader
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
"bravo_alphaspl-data" is the name of the hboot, that will obviously change if you want to flash a different hboot
Also, the fact that it's not installing *might* somehow be a recovery problem... I'd replace it just in case lol (I'd recommend the one from my signature), download it and put it in c:\
Code:
cd c:\android-sdk/tools
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery c:\recovery-RA-desire-v2.0.0.img
Note: if you downloaded the CM "themed" recovery then it will be called "recovery-RA-desire-v2.0.0-CM.img" instead.

[Q] Serious problem after flashing new Hboot - Need quick help [solved]

Hey everyone,
I just did something wrong i guess...I had CM7r2 Hboot and wanted to switch to the Oxygen Hboot in order to use the Oxygen ROM. So i downloaded the Oxygen Hboot, checked and verified the MD5sums, opened android flasher, chose the oxygen Hboot image and flashed it like I did with the CM7r2 before.
Problem now is that i can't boot into bootloader when holding Vol down+Power. instead the phone reboots into Recovery (Ext4) again and again and again. the recovery simply reloads all the time...
Because I can't boot into bootloader I can't flash the old Hboot or anything. And i can't use recovery because it reloads all the time
I am seriously f***ed and don't know what to do know!
Any help will be highly appreciated. I do have android-sdk and adb tools on my PC but never used them. If that is of any help...
I am pretty nervous now and afraid I broke me phone Please help!
Edit: Now it suddenly worked and i can get into bootloader. phew...that should make things easier ^^ It says Oxygen R2, so the flashing process worked. What should i do now? Maybe flash a new/different recovery? Try booting the recovery again? Don't wanna mess it up now that i got back into bootloader..
My original plan was installing the new hboot, wipe everything and clean install...

Get fastboot commander (it's a much better program, but requires SDK and JDK, links on my guide)... when you've got it working then:
Open FBC, go to the "misc" tab and select
-recovery
-boot
-system
-data
-cache
and click "erase chosen partitions"
Then use it to flash a new recovery.
Meh forget this, easier and faster method below...

Thanks for the quick reply. Did you see my edit in first post? Is your procedure then still necessary?
From your troubelshooting guide i guess my recovery is somehow corrupted, right? So flashing a new recovery using android flasher ( i am used to it and would save me time working myself into fastboot commander) should do the job, roght?

if you're paranoid (and I would be) then yes lol
Actually you can just do it with cmd, it'd be easier... unpack the attached file into c:\
open cmd and type: (make sure you boot into fastboot mode)
Code:
cd\
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata (or fastboot erase data, can't remember which)
fastboot erase cache
Then use android flasher and flash a recovery (whatever one you want)..
then flash oxygen
This is just to be on the safe side btw, maybe your recovery screwed itself or something.. That's at least what I'd do anyway.. I mean if it works normally then you may not need to do anything, but I'd just be paranoid lol.

Ok, I did everything as you said, entered the cmd lines and flashed the current clockworkmod version as well as Oxygen. ROM booted and is working fine so far.
Thank you very much for your help!

Okay so i want this Oxygen ROM too. I am currently on the cm7/r2 hboot.
Would you recommend I move to another hboot then flash this rom?

If the hboot requirement for Oxygen ROM is oxygen hboot, then it is recommended to change the hboot. It should work without change of hboot but you are wasting 45mb which you can use as internal data storage.

If you are on Cm7r2, you can also add more apps to the Rom zip (Simply put the apk's in the system/apps folder) in order to use these 45mb and maybe leave a little space for themes, addons, customizations in case you want something like this. With Oxygen Hboot i couldnt even flash a UOT.zip because there's no more space. So I'd recommend Cm7r2 for anyone using Oxygen together with themes etc.

[Q] I really need help now with HBoot

I used this tutorial to root my HTC Desire:
http://techspalace.blogspot.com/2011/10/perm-root-htc-desire-gingerbread-233.html
Then I was using it for half a year and few days ago I downloaded LeeDroid 3.3.3 data ++ and successfully installed it but I had only 120mb free internal memory for apps with it. I was googlin a lot and i realized that Im using wrong HBoot (im newbie in that stuff). Then I found this tutorial how to flash cm7r2 hboot on desire (its required for leedroid ROM)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1223856
I followed the steps, downloaded http://alpharev.nl/PB99IMG_cm7r2.zip then I copied it to my SD card and renamed it to PB99IMG and rebooted my phone. It asked me if i want to update, i chose yes but then i rebooted and got stuck at HTC logo and white screen.
So I tried to restore my previous ROM via ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.0 but still Im stuck at HTC logo
(after restoring it says:
Restore complete!
E: Error in /cache/recovery/log
(No space left on device)
E: Error in /cache/recovery/last_log
(No space left on device)
Im not really skilled in all these things, can someone pls give me an advice how to get back on Revolutionary hboot and my old ROM or how to get this Alpharev cm7r2 bootloader working?
EDIT: Now i managed to install leedroid from sd again, but there was force closes of everything so I did factory reset and now I pass HTC logo but Im stuck at glowing "ANDROID" logo..... really need help
I think that if I would manage to get "revolutionary" back instead of "Alpharev cm7 r2" at bootloader, my old ROM backup would work.... but i dont know how to get "Revolutionary" bootloader back !

Hi,
you might want to try the following:
Download fastboot commander from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193915
Download the desired HBOOT from http://alpharev.nl/
Select the HBOOT that matches the ROM you want to install
Start the fastboot program, plug in your phone with USB (powered off) and start the phone in BOOTLOADER modus (VOLUME-DOWN + POWER)
there is an option fastboot, press it. You're now able to flash your HBOOT with fast commander.
Unzip the bravo_xxxx.zip so you get an xxx.img file. load this file in Fastboot->[TAB]Hboot, Radio & Rec->Hboot and press Flash Hboot. Wait for an OK.
Exit fastboot and go to recovery. Search for USB Mount (mount your SD-CARD to the USB) and search this SD-CARD in Windows Explorer. Copy the ROM in zip format you want to install on your SD-CARD and unmount.
Now select the option install from SD and select the zip file. Let it run and reboot.
(If you selected a rom which needs an EXT2 EXT3 or EXT4 partition, then partition this first, this is also possible in the recovery menu).
Hope this helps...
