Ok guys heres a quick q/ .I want to try some Gb ++ roms and obviously i need the ++ hboot since im using the stock one.So after i flash the hboot,what will happen to the phone,i.e. will i still have my recovery?
Sent from my Nokia 3310 xD
To my knowlegde the flash of the hboot only changes the bootloader.
Only ROM you currently use wont boot up no more. Recovery etc will stay untouched.
So flash new hboot, then wipe all, then flash ROM

And remember that even though they are called data++ you might be needing CM7 hboot actually, make sure what is said in ROM thread.

I cant flash any sense rom , i tried to flash leedroid 2.4.1 .
my phone is rooted and s-off .
when i try to flash sense rom the screen remains on "why so serious s-off" screen .
I tried Leedroid , Auraztense , Cool HD, RemixHD , MIUI nd some other roms before
but i can easily install cm7 without any problem nd is fast too .
i flash cwm 3.005 then 3.0.2.4 and finally went back to 2.5.0.7 with flash utility.
on my bootloader screen it is like this :
Alpharev Sense
Bravo PVT1 SHIP S-OFF
Hboot 0.93.1000
MICROP - 031d
Touch Panel - SYNT0101
Radio - 5.14.05.17
what should i do now ??
Nandroid, go back to stock and start the rooting/S-OFF again
can i use this stock rom ??
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741775
this one is already rooted !
if not ,
can u pls provide me the link for appropriate one ? pls .
Up to you but you said you can't use any custom Sense ROMs so you'll need to use an RUU to go back to stock. Was your phone branded when you got it? If you did things properly you should already have made a note of your original FW on your unit and have the right RUU for your handset
Not sure about miui but for the rest I'm pretty sure they don't fit the sense hboot. Unless it was a data++ type. Have you tried it with stock bravo hboot?

Good spot, didn't think of the OP using a different HBOOT
To the OP - when you went S-OFF did you flash a different HBOOT? Like the Oxygen one or CM? If so, you need the stock one for a Sense-based ROM

Hey guys ! Is the Stock ROM of HTC Desire available anywhere ? I have used custom ROMs but lets face it, the stock ROM has been the best ..
I looked on the HTC website and I couldn't find anything. Any help would be much appreciated !

Welcome to the Vision Forums
The DZ hboot will work fine with any other roms and will be essential for all future virtuous releases.
Using the DZ hboot increases the size of the system partition meaning that larger roms will fit on to the phone. Sense 3.0 roms are huge and if you use the G2 hboot its very difficult to get the roms to fit on to the phone. There are guides dotted around the forums if you ever needed to return to the stock hboot.
Changing the hboot to the dz one wont hurt. It simply changes how much space is divided between system and data.
You should be all set if u us the dz hboot and it would guarantee that you can use all the roms from the g2/dz forums.

Was curious, if u use a superwipe while using the dz hboot willit wipe the wrong partitions?

No, not that I'm aware of any way. I've used it with both hboots. And never had any issues.

Ty guys. I did hit the thanks button if your wondering.
lol you're welcome. It's a breath of fresh air for someone who actually makes an effort to read and not act self entitled. If you have any other questions that you can't find an answer to, I can try to help you with what I know (not that it's alot, but I can probably handle the mid level questions)
Hi all. I'm new to this world so asking a, may be silly, question.
I play with roms every now and then. Change my rom from one to another in couple of weeks. I found STOCK HBOOT OFFERS LESS INTERNAL SPACE THAN CM7 OR CM7r2 hboots for custom roms.
I haven't experimented yet with these things. Can someone tell me how to convert my hboot to cm7 or cm7r2? I haven't done anything with my hboot so I suppose I'm on stock hboot. Difference between cm7 and cm7r2?
Any drawbacks of doing this? And will be able to flash app2sd and data2ext normally as I do now?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
The difference is that the hboot versions offer you a diffrent internal partition layout
you can look them up http://alpharev.nl/ <-- there
also you can download it from there
You can flash it via fastboot or via the PB99IMG.zip method or you simply use android flasher(recommanded, it´s selfexplaining)
Is there any chance of bricking my phone?
When I switch between roms sometimes I get stuck in boot loops. *no worries*
I just pull out the battery. Reboot in recovery and restore nandroid backup.
In this case I'm cautious because if I'm stuck where would I go because I'm playing with hboot. I think I won't be able to access recovery in that case, right?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
You can brick it if your downloaded hboot.img is not downloaded correcly
If you are in a bootloop you simply go into fastboot and flash the correct table(hboot) and flash your ROM
and yes you will be able to boot into recovery(if youre in a bootloop)

If your download was corrupt or you pulled the cable in the seconds during the flashing period then you'd most probably brick your phone, but during my time on this forum I have never heard of any such misfortunes occurring..
By the way instead of posting try searching... this is just common knowledge info and can be found with a quick google search or a visit to alpharev.. it really isn't hard and not really worth posting a new thread about.

Thanks a million. Now this means I take a nandroid backup and download cm7r2 hboot from alpharev. Flash it and then flash a compatible rom.
Do I need a complete wipe before flashing hboot?

Fit where and in what?
Just asking for information. I'll definitely flash a clean new rom.
I'm using Aurora for Desire. It supports both stock and cm7r2.
Will flash that rom again but then I'll have way more internal memory as compared to what I'm getting now.

I know I'm going to ask a silly question. Sorry in advance
It's written on alpharev that check MD5SUM after downloading the hboot.
How do I check whether it's correct or not?
Don't wanna brick my phone :-(
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
The nandroid needs to have the HBOOT you had, when you made that nandroid.
So if U had STOCK HBOOT when making a nandroid wich U like to go back to, then flash STOCK HBOOT - BEFORE - U nandroid back.
So for now... flash the HBOOT U want, and then right after the ROM.
And if U wanna restore your nandroid, then flash STOCK HBOOT, and then restore nandroid.
AND remember... U CAN NOT FLASH RADIO IF U ARE ON CM7R2 HBOOT,
that will brick your phone.
So flash RADIO before, OR do the procedure with ADB if U are already on CM7R2.

MD5 SUM check
Alright so I read about the md5sum check got the software to check it as well, even though it didnt match, I still managed to get the cm7/r2 hboot & flash insertcoin. I want to know how exactly we know if md5sums have matched cos i want to change my rom & i want to know how i can check if the rom is compatible with the cm7/r2 hboot.
Insertcoin freezes a lot on my phone I have no idea why.
Lots of questions on this post from me, someone please answer. need help

This is very awkward if you still managed to flash cm7r2 even though md5sum didn't match.
I haven't tried it yet. Will give a try tomorrow.
Every rom has mentioned which hboots are compatible. You can check it from there.

You do realise... the point of an md5 match is so that you know the thing that is uploaded.. is exactly the same thing that you downloaded... so... when it matches "hooray lets flash away"... when it doesn't "holy mother of god get the hell of my computer"... you sure you used it right?

if you are using cm7r2 hboot, make sure to flash market cache fix else you will face issue when you download large size apps from market.

Not sure if it also works for the wildfire, but on newer HTC devices (Evo 3D, ...) with s -on, you need to flash the boot.img seperately with fastboot.

To go back to stock... You need to flash an RUU which you can get here http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Buzz. Download whichever suits your region, whatever... You can flash easily using FASTBOOT. But bear in mind... Since you are S-ON, it will be hard if not impossible to flash a ROM lower than the one you had before rooting. I'd recommend this RUU RUU_Buzz_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.22.405.1_Radio_13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10_release_160191_signed (if you were on Eclair or have HBOOT 0.80) incase you need S-OFF. Good luck!
download ruu that suits your region, extract rom.zip from it, rename the rom,zip to PC49IMG.zip, put it on root of your sdcard, reboot the phonein hboot, wait for it to scan for pc49img, when it scans it follow the onscreen instructions on how to install it, and voila, youre back on stock rom.
