are you getting error 170 messages? install HTC sync so the drivers are there.

So.... Let me guess what happened you were running a custom rom then you formatted your SD card right?

IF you are trying the PC36IMG, you need to make sure to just rename the zip file to "PC36IMG". Do not add the ".zip" when you rename it, if you do your phone is not going to see the file because it is going to see it as PC36IMG.zip.zip. The format of the file is already a zip so adding the ".zip" is what is causing your problems. Hope this helps, its a common mistake I can remember when I first got into rooting and stuff I encountered the same thing.

If u used unrevoked to root check out my guide it has links to unroot the shipped ruu stock and how to do it easy as pie

[Q] Root do rly i need it?

Do I even need to root my Desire Z?
I rebooted to recovery and i was able to choose the "Apply update.zip"
So i can put the cwm.zip on the sd card rename it to update.zip and then i can flash a custom rom without even rooting the device?

If you don't root I believe you will get a bootloop.

No, you can't do like that. It just won't work or even worse, you can brick your device. Read the FAQ, that should clear up some things for you.

Aha even if you do that. It won't let you flash it since it doesn't match the system. There's many ways to root your phone. Do the Wiki/Gfree method by the way

You can't flash unsigned/self-signed ZIPs...the G2/DZ is a NAND locked device.

yup its a definite brick if you try to switch roms, you'll get a boot loop and and theres absolutely no way to go back

Rooting is quite easy on the G2/DZ. However whatever you do, do not try to perm root with visionary! Visionary is only needed to get the soft root, then you can use gfree to complete your permanent root.

thx 4 your info

[Q] HTC Screen after flashing Anything.

Rooted my desire yesterday S-offed and everything was working fine. I attempted to flash a custom Rom and now all I recieve in the HTC screen. I have tryed installing several roms and nothing works. I can get into the recovery with no issues. Just I cannot get into any roms. Any Magix fixes I can try? Or should I just Fastboot and start over?
Edit. Fastboot doesnt work. But I can get into the CWM Recovery. Which is also the newest version.

And you always followed installation guides for all roms carefully (like sd card) and flashed version that corresponds with your hboot?

Yup Followed everything. I have done this all on my incredible 100 times. So I am aware of the steps to get Roms going.

Wiped all user data?
I just had this briefly with a Desire PVT4, had forgotten to wipe all user data prior to flashnig ROM's...?

Fastboot just has the bootloader option. Nothing for going back to stock. And were on the Stock HBOOT.
Correction Fastboot works just I cannot use it to go to stock. Is there any quick way to get to the stock image?

You can just download the zip from alpha rev put it on the SD card (not in a folder) re name it as PB99IMG start your phone with power and volume down and it will ask you if you want install it. P.s sorry if you knew this lol

I didnt know that! I shall give it a try and update on here and thank you if it works. What is Alpha Rev? A Devoloper or something?

You basically they specialize in s off, and recovery images etc. What sort of ROMs are you using? Cm7r2 is best for most Roms on the desire atm

How could you S-OFF your phone without hearing from AlphaRev?

That is a good point? But suppose you could miss it, it isn't the same site.

What do you want?

Cannot flash radio.

I have tried several times to flash the new baseband radio. With 4EXT and I have tried rename file and fastreboot. Non works.
With 4ext I get massage I'm not allowed to flash etc ..
Am I missing something?
This will be the first radio I flash..I'm still on stock.
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium

You can flash a new radio file .zip via CWR. It's very simple

I need to install clockwork recovery to be able to flash radio? I thought 4ext touch could do the job as well

Any recovery can.
Depending on your hboot, you may not be able to flash radio via recovery.
Flashing via fastboot is always better though.

I tried changing the zip file name and put it in sd card then boot phone into fastrecovery by holding back button and boot. But it doesn't recognize the file.... So I don't get any choice.

That's your problem. You can't flash radio via recovery with that hboot. You have to do it via fastboot.

Ok.... Did some searching.. Found out i had to extract the zip then flash the img file. Am i able to flash back and forth between radio versions. Also.. Do i need to reinstall the rom after the flash?

No need to reflash roms after radio change. A general rule to follow is that you don't mess with your radio if you don't have problems with your phone. One wrong move during flashing and it can brick your phone.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Unless like me, you have balls of steel and are still amazed that after what you've put your phone through over the years it still functions. Hell, it even survived me accidentally dropping it.... err.. against the err... wall...

Same as you did for Getting CM7R2 HBoot
1. Download PB99IMG_stock.zip from Alpharev's site.
2. then rename it as PB99IMG.zip and place it in root of your SD card
3. Power off then Powerup your Phone with Volume Down + Power (Boot in Bootloader) there select Yes when asked for updating HBoot and Restart.
4. Goto Recover format /system
5. Restore Nandroid Backup or Flash new ROM.

maybe u have to flash something called downgrader first, just at the bottom of the list of all those hoots.
Use Fastboot commander, that`s the best and most powerful one.

The downgrader allows a RUU to install as it checks for the HBOOT version so it doesn't flash over a newer version.
I have not used Android Flasher. I have never had any issues using Fastboot commander for switching between stock, CM 7, oxygen and dGB HBOOTs.
You are using the .img file and not the .zip right?

No way? Really? Could I have meant the relative HBOOTs with the same descriptors numbnuts? I think that might be the case.
Yes, do google AlphaRev and follow the instructions. See the table that describes the partition tables (based on the ROMs for which they were created) and pay attention to whether you are using the img or zip.

fastboot commander works great for me too. Just make sure ur S-OFF, download fastboot drivers, install fastboot commander. REboot into bootloader and flash .img files downloaded from Alpharev website, using fastboot commander

Hi all
I am on HBOOT-0.80.0000 and trying to upgrade to another one to use the newer ROMS properly and no matter which PB99IMG I choose e.g. PB99IMG_oxygenr2 or PB99IMG_cm7r2 and place these in the root of my SD card renamed as PB99IMG.zip I don't get the option to overwrite or anything. The fastboot loooks at the file as it says Checking.... Then it just goes back around to the FASTBOOT option???

Once you place the PB99IMG.zip on root of your SD card it will not ask you to override anything unless and until you had placed it before. Then boot into fastboot to flash the zip and it will ask you to update hboot you need to select yes by doing volume down button. Then it will ask you to reboot into bootloader select yes again, and you are done flashing the hboot.
