HAVE YOU GOT RADIO s-off? it´s necessary for flash different radio than the stock..
if you have radio s-off and you checked if you have CID-1111111
if via adb don´t works...
i recommend to you use fastBOOT COMANDER FOR TO FLASH RADIOS.
step by step:
1- download fastbootcommander (browse for it in developement forum)
2- download your needed radio
3- put it in the paragraph that says "RADIO" in the fastbootcommander application
4-press "flash radio" button and enjoy
remember that you must to put your device in the bootloader for flash any radio with this app.
fastbootcommander is an useful tool and the most important: its totally harmless

Thanks for the help, I've confirmed that i have eng s off and radio off by the CID-1111111 in the info tab, and have tried using the fastboot commander however when im trying to flash the radio it says radio flash failure, any ideas?
Im going to go to another custom rom should i try again after i flash to that?

Has nothing to do with the ROM so that won't help.
Are you definitely using a radio.img designed for fastboot?
Did you confirm the MD5 Hash (if you didn't then you have risked bricking your phone. This step (md5sum) is an absolute must.

Do you have HTC Sync installed? If yes, reinstall it. If not, get it

USB-Debuging?

Phone must be in eng h boot waiting for fastboot commands in order to work

Checkk
Code:
fastboot devices
to ensure your phone is connected ok. If ok you will see your device as the response.

Help - flashing pb99.img in hboot no PC.

Hi.
I have a rooted s-off desire using alpha rev 1.8.
I'm currently trying to resize the nand partitions using the method on the alpharev.nl site, without a pc. I'm running cm6.1 rom, so I downloaded the n1table zip ready to flash. Its renamed to pb99img.zip on root of sdcard. I've reboot into hboot using volume+down and I'm not quite sure where to go from here. I tried going into recovery and installing zip from SD but it doesnt seem to have worked as when I reboot into rom and check SD storage, it remains the same as before.
I know I must be missing something basic. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Cheers.

Do NOT continue with what you're doing. Have you even read the instructions on the AlphaRev site? You flash a new MTD table using the fastboot commands of adb:
1) Nandroid backup in recovery.
2) Verify the MD5SUM of the file you downloaded against the one in the table.
3) Flash HBOOT with your phone in fastboot mode (Back+POWER) -> 'fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img' (change into the correct filename for the HBOOT you downloaded)
4) 'Fastboot reboot-bootloader'
5) 'Fastboot erase cache'
6) Boot recovery, wipe everything and restore
It´s also working with HBOOT...but I think you have to rename it to PB99IMG.zip (case Sensitiv)
If you have it in your / Filesystem on your SD Card, you will be asked after booting to Bootloader if you want to update.
Answer with "Volume up" or "down"
YOU DO NOT RENAME AN ALPHAREV HBOOT MOD TO PB99IMG
That is for Zip versions of the RUUs and NOTHING to do with AlphaRev
Seriously, read up before you brick your phone
From the Aplha Rev HP:
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.
Sorry, if I don´t understand this right...but that´s a fact from his Page
I´m sure Fastboot is the better way...but I tried it like this and it worked
I stand corrected, didn't see they had that option now. My apologies
In which case, you'd download the relevent ZIP file, rename it PB99IMG.zip (not PB99IMG.zip.zip) and put it on the root of our SD card (root - not in any folders)
Then, when you boot into HBOOT it should just pick it up and ask if you want to flash it - you don't go into recovery
no Probs
I never got asked if i wanted to flash the hBOOT
I'm running a rooted HTC desire and i'm trying to load flash the hboot to the oxygen variety
I haven't s-off my phone yet but wanted to use the no PC method outlined above
When i go into hBoot the phone picks up the PB99IMG.zip (saying "checking PB99IMG.zip......") but doen't give me the option to flash the hboot
Am i missing something? Do i have to s-off it the long way first?
Any help would be really appreciated
=]
Yes, you have to S-OFF first before you can change the MTD. It does say on the website:
"If you are already S-OFF, you can get our newest patched HBOOTs from here. (without going through the entire procedure again).
Please read the entire table and pick the partition table with the correct sizes for your ROM. One easy way to switch partition tables, is to nandroid backup,
and verify that the sizes of your backup are indeed the ones listed in the table (or smaller), and restore after flashing hboot."
Any idea if i can choose the Oxygen variation when i use the AlphaRev 1.8 HBOOT reflash utility or will i need to do it again with a PB99IMG.zip after?

Do the Alpharev 1.8 Flash first.
Then connect your phone, boot into Fastboot mode, and run the foll:
1) Nandroid backup in recovery.
2) Verify the MD5SUM of the file you downloaded against the one in the table.
3) Flash HBOOT with your phone in fastboot mode (Back+POWER) -> 'fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img' (change into the correct filename for the HBOOT you downloaded)
4) 'Fastboot reboot-bootloader'
5) 'Fastboot erase cache'
6) Boot recovery, wipe everything and restore.

Of course I have read the instructions thoroughly. I would never do anything without reading several times over. As another member pointed out, you can in fact flash from .zip
However it would not work for me, probably a lot of others too, as another member mentioned it has been removed from site.
I have now switched to miui and am not encountering any storage space issues as yet, so I think ill leave it alone for awhile. Thanks for everyone's input and help.
Cheers.

Anyone got this to work? Ive tried following the instructions (I have s-off and have repartitioned my HBOOT previously with ADB) and it just says no image found when I load into fastboot
When I try to do it from the SD card on mine, it finds the PB99IMG.zip file but then says "Model ID invalid. Update Fail!" then asks if I want to reboot or not. Rebooting just performs a normal reboot with no changes.

Obviously, you're trying to install a file meant for another device! That's a very dangerous thing to do!
It's the PB99IMG.zip for the Oxygen HBOOT. How can it be for the wrong device? I'm s-off, running Oxygen RC7.

At least that's what the error code means anyway..Is there a reason why you cant fastboot flash the img?
Yea, I assumed that. I can't seem to get fastboot working again on my machine. It was working but I haven't had much time to look into what happened. ADB devices brings up the serial number but fastboot won't detect the phone. I was just trying to do this while I was at work and I don't have access to fastboot here.

Adb and fastboot detect the phone at different phases. If one detects, at that point, the other wouldnt.
Are u sure you're trying out fastboot in fastboot mode (poweroff, Back key+Power On)? At that point fastboot should work..Even most severely damaged phones are detected in fastboot
Yes, the phone is in fastboot when I'm trying this. I'm wondering if something happened to the fastboot driver or something. Either way, I'll look into it at some point.

[Q] Why can't I flash my radio?

Hi guys,
I can't seem to be able to flash my radio. My phone is Radio S-OFF and Eng S-OFF, rooted, etc.
It doesn't give a specific error message, just does this:
In bootloader, running command line from Radio flash folder, radio.img is in its place, "fastboot flash radio radio.img"
Sending... -> doesn't finish sending:
I disconnected it -> error message
reconnected it and started the same command again, same result, sending
disconnected it -> error message as below
I have HTC sync installed, windows7.
Any ideas?

I´M NOT AN EXPERT IN WINDOZE, because i use ubuntu
but you was tried to use FASTBOOT COMMANDER? is an useful tool for flashing radios etc... download it and start your device into bootloader,
then put a image file of your prefered radio in the "radio.img" paragraph in fastboot commander, press FLASH IT! and enjoy
try an post if you want of course LOL
IS THE THE MOST HARMLESS METHOD FOR YOUR DEVICE..
i recommend use adb shell ONLY when you tried all the rest methods..
I'm not an expert, but when I flash any radio the phone must be in H-Boot engineering AND fastboot waiting. You need to press the first option in the menu (fastboot mode) in order to start listening commands through usb.
You can check that your phone is ready by using "fastboot devices".
If all is OK you will get a response with your Device ID.
Just noticed we already have a thread about this subject (well, we have a lot but there's one that's live):

Please, let's search before starting a new thread and maybe just stick to the the thread above from this point forward.

cm7r2

just tried to flash alpharev cm7r2 file using android flasher. In hboot mode it says alpharev cm7r2. I tried to boot into 4ext recovery but it says it fails to fetch recovery log. So I cant use recovery and if I try to use android flasher to flash recovery again or hboot it stops responding. What should I do?
Any help and I would be very grateful.
Assume that you are s-off.
Can you still get you h-boot screen?
If so you should be able to use fastboot to flash both recovery and h-boot.
I find it easier than android flasher.
There are plenty of guides about on using fastboot so would suggest reading them as well and have a search about as wont be the first to encounter this issue
Also use fastboot to wipe system and cache and reboot the bootloader and you should be fine......
There is a thread on android forum about e: failure to get recovery log

It explains how to set up fastboot. The adb part is not relevant so once set up you can use commands like
Fastboot flash hboot c:\*****.img
Fastboot flash recovery
Fastboot erase
Which should enable you to change your hboot, recovery etc
The following link is a good step guide to changing your hboot along with a utility to set up fastboot

When setting up the computer for fastboot it does not have enviroment variables in the advanced my computer bit. I am using windows vista
Follow this and it should work fine
How do I set up my Windows PC to use adb and fastboot?
Download SDK Tools only Open the .rar file, then drag and drop the folder "android-sdk-windows" to the C: drive Right click My computer > Properties > Advanced > Environment Variables under system variables click "path" and click "edit" at the end of the line add a sem semi colon ";" and without a space put C:\android-sdk-windows\tools -It should look like ;C:\android-sdk-windows\tools then click ok.
I assume you already have h-boot drivers installed (you need these to root with unrevoked) if not my previous post link has advice on how to do this
Update : I'm using vista as well so know this works

Right
Click start > run > cmd
This will open a command window
Have you phone connected in fastboot mode
And then use fastboot commands to flash the recovery, hboot etc.
I would recommend changing your recovery to amon-ra ( but this is personnel choice)
You need the files you want to flash on you PC.
For example to flash an hboot you would use the following
Fastboot flash hboot c:\*****.Img
The same would apply for recovery etc
Fastboot flash recovery c:\*****.img
Once you have flashed hboot
Make sure you use fast boot to wipe system / cache / reboot bootloader.
Have a read of the oxygen.im link I posted on one of my previous posts in this thread.
Hope this has helped resolve your issue

I managed to open the command window but it said the command fastboot was not recognized (or something) internally or externally
Have I got the files in the correct places? Where should they be because I tried to follow the instructions very carefully?
Thanks so much for your help I hopefully nearly there!
right,
finally booted up my laptop so this should get easier for me.....
how did you root your phone, did you use unrevoked or did you s-off with revolutionary and then install the recovery that came with it.
Can you answer the following
You have the h-boot drivers installed ?
You have download and followed the steps for the SDK files.
You have set the environment variables as previously mentioned.
When you boot your phone holding down the volume button and power you get the hboot screen, can you then select fast boot. and with your phone connected to your pc does it change from fast boot to fastboot usb.
if so the commands should work. if not you could try the utility by _thalamus on the oxygen.im website
http://forum.oxygen.im/viewtopic.php?id=1412
You may want to change your recovery to amon-ra or an earlier version of clockworkmod 2.5.0 something....(i use amon-ra and rate it very highly, you can down load it from the following

Did you manage to change your hboot as well. ? As you can flash that as well with android flasher.
Glad to have been of assistance and if you want to try something different go for an aosp rom like oxygen which I find extremely smooth and fast.
Enjoy your rom and wait you flashing addiction to kick in and your be changing rom's, kernals and hboot on a weekly basis if not more

[HELP!!!!] Is my phone bricked? forever?? :-(

Hello!
Today i decided to unroot my phonea and get the original android 2.3 from google.. Because of to many bugs in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1403113
I read somewhere throw a Google-search that i just had to download the latest RUU.. So i downloaded: RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe
I ran it, and now my phone i stock here.... I cant do anything now.. Is my phone bricked? If not, can I fix this? how? If it IS bricked, can i still fix it?
This is how my phone looks, when booting: http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/2440/wp0000432.jpg
If I plug it in the USB, and unplug it shows this: http://i51.tinypic.com/2r6clf9.jpg But with me the "Fail-PU" is at "System", and the "Bootloader" is "Bypassed"
I use Alpharev++
Please help, don't have any other phone!
screen with 4 triangles is sort of fastboot...
download downgrade from alpharev and flash it via fastboot:
fastboot flash hboot "downgrade.img"
"downgrade.img" is path and file name of your downloaded downgrade hboot file
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
then run RUU
more info in Bortak's guide
Shall i copy "downgrade.img" to my sd card or what?
copy you to that folder you have where fastboot is installed and rename file to downgrade.img
and type
fastboot flash hboot downgrade.img
Trying to install right now.. 52%..
it worked! OMG i love you!!!!
THANKS <3
Yes, your phone is definitely bricked.

Stuck on HTC screen - can't access

Hi
I've looked on here already to try to find a (working) solution for my problem but haven't so far. My HTC desire was
downgraded from ICS to a gingerbread rom successfully - however - upon trying to unlock (unbrand) my phone the
software was stopping this so i tried to install a stock rom on it via usb cable. It downloaded successfully and rebooted.
But when it restarted it stuck on the "htc" loading screen. The only way i can turn it off is to remove the battery - also
when i try to enter recovery it just sticks on the HTC screen too.
This is what it says on the HBOOT screen:

Okay thanks a lot, just done it now.
I typed in fastboot erase memory and this pops up:
erasing memory....FAILED (remote: partition is not existed!)
Any idea what this means?
I did the second part anyway and it went into recovery fine, i tried to install a zip from sd but it aborted it because it was "bad"

If you want it neat and clean to start from beginning, download alpharev downgrade hboot, flash it via fastboot (follow the instructions from site), download 2.3 RUU from htcdev, unpack it and run from your PC.
The previous attempt to return to stock GB ended with failure because you have revolutionary hboot which is write protected and hboot and radio can't be flashed. So, you had the old radio on your device (RADIO-4.05.00.11) and GB needed a newer one and after flashing it didn't want to boot.
With downgrade you will unlock write protection and RUU will overwrite both hboot and radio.

The previous attempt to return to stock GB ended with failure because you have revolutionary hboot which is write protected and hboot and radio can't be flashed. So, you had the old radio on your device (RADIO-4.05.00.11) and GB needed a newer one and after flashing it didn't want to boot.
With downgrade you will unlock write protection and RUU will overwrite both hboot and radio.

I've just gone to the AlphaRev site to download the patch - i can't figure out which one to download. I currently have
update-cm-7.2.0-RC2-bravo-signed.zip installed (cyanogenmod7)
Thanks!

It's not a patch, it's hboot that you're looking for. It's the last one on table, nicely called "Bravo Downgrader".

Hi again, thank you for your reply. I'm new to this and when i ran through the instructions on alpharev, it didnt work so im obviously doing something wrong, and don't want to mess it up so could you please say whether this is the correct way to do it
From the instructions on alpharev its goes as:
1) nandroid backup in recovery - I have 4ext recovery, so i just basically click "backup" right?
2) download bravo_downgrade.img
3) go into hboot (power+back button)
Now this is the bit im confused about:
fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img' (change into the correct filename for the HBOOT you downloaded)
4) 'fastboot reboot-bootloader'
5) 'fastboot erase cache'
6) Boot recovery, wipe everything and restore.
I don't see these options available to me, is this because I have 4ext and just need the normal clockworkmod?
Thankyou.

4) & 5) are fastboot commands.. so make sure u have fastboot set up on ur computer. click adb & fastboot in my sig if u dont.
once setup, download the bravo_downgrade.img and put it in ur C:\ drive on ur computer, then put ur phone into fastboot, hold back button + power and plug in ur phone (usb) so it says "fastboot usb" then open fastboot command window and type -
fastboot flash hboot c:\bravo_downgrade.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
then boot into recovery and do what u need to do
