AmonRA 2.0.1

Htc desire pvt-4
S-ON
HbooT- 0.93
rooted my htc desire with unrevoked, but my device still have the S-On .
so i have to s-off but not sure which method to use !
should i use alpharev 1.8?
any good guide !
any links for amon-ra 2.0.1 desire !

Million threads like this.
for PVT4 you need to flash AmonRA 2.0.0 (or 2.0.1), because CWM 2.5.0.7 won't work.

thanks mate ,am just not sure whether to use AmonRA or alpharev?

Well the thread was different when I wrote the previous reply. AmonRa is recovery, Alpharev is for S-Off.

amonRa is just a recovery, the only way to s-off is alpharev. Do you even need to s-off tho?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

I dunno if i want to s-off ,all i want is to install custom roms !

To install custom roms you don't need s-off.
Just flash amon-ra 2.0.1 with unrevoked and you're good to go.

Look here for AmonRA
And no, you can not flash it via ROM manager.

Some questions on flashing roms

Hi. I've had a magic and I was very used to it. I flashed every rom I could find...
Now I got a desire and I've done a lot of reading but still have some questions.
My desire is like this:
bravo pvt1 ship S-off
Hboot - 0.93.1000
MICROP-031D
tOUCH PANEL - SYNW0101
Radio-5.17.05.08
Aug 10 2010, 17:52:18
I bought it this way.
Please tell me if I'm wrong:
From what I've read to flash a rom I just have to be careful with hboot. The question is if it is CM++ or something like this. How can I identify what mine is?
Apart from this I just have to partition my sd card in the way it is described in the topic of the rom.
Is this that easy? In the magic I had to change radio, spl and recovery depending on the rom...
Thanks!

Please write down what you see on the bootloader/hboot. Do you see anything pink on the top? Alpharev maybe?

u did not buy it brand-new, right?
i mean its second hand.
what we see here is a rooted, and as dexter93's said, hboot was changed to, maybe using alpharev.
s-off is not default for new devices, it should be S-ON
and 0.93.1000 should be 0.93.0001
these changes r done by alpharev.

Yes, it says alpharev.
BTW I forgot to mention that I've got ultimate droid at the moment.

You have written down your info from thebootloader.
So if there is nothing like ALPHAREV CM7 in pink there, you have the stock HBOOT.
You can download the CM7 from http://alpharev.nl
AFAIK, you can flash CM7++ ROMs, too (not all tough) on the Stock HBOOT, but you will have extremely low space.
And for the SD Card partition - use at least 1GB - recommended for most ROMs.

So, I preseume I'm on stock hboot, right?
I haven't got a partition on sd card. I would have to partition it, according to rom devs, right?
I'm sorry I can't answer all your questions right away because I'm a still a restricted member in terms of posts.

no you are not on stock hboot.
i think the first owner of the device have changed the hboot
mostly he did it using alpharev
check this
http://alpharev.nl/
regarding the partition... you may want to do it in case you want to use app2sd, or data2sd, (app2sd+, data2ext, data2whatever) all this stuff need ext partition on the sdcard.
you can use amonRa or other methods to create a partition.

Hi, thanks for the reply.
But what do I have to do to flash the reflex rom, for example?
Do I need to change hboot? Or do I only need to change hboot if the developer says so?
Otherwise it's just partitioning the sd card and flashing the rom?

yes you have to pay attention to the devs notes, some times they say Stock Hboot, sometimes they say ... its ok any one works, or this one only ...
using any rom ... well you have to check if the size of system partition will fit the size of the rom otherwise it will not install/work.
maybe other members will help you better, cuz i am on stock hboot, and never been in this stuff in details.

You are not on the stock hboot, but youve got the stock mtd partitioning. this means that as long as a developer doesnt mention hboot or says "stock", you are fine just follow the developers instructions to flash the rom. Most of the roms need an additional ext2/3/4 partition on your sd, after the fat one, so if the dev of the rom says so, you might need to make one

Ok. Thank You dexter and every one else for the help.

hey guys, I'm actually really noobfabulous, and am already proud that I didn't post anything stupid in the devforum but, since this is Q&A, here I go, first post ftw:
I just managed to root my RUU Rom, and to s-off with the alpharev and partitioned, nand-backup ( from the everything desire thread ). Now I do have two questions...
1) is the Hboot I'm currently running the Bravo Stock 1.8? ( havent changed a thing yet )
2) if not, how do I flash this? the installnotes provided on alpharev aren't sufficient for me, i.e., not knowing how to flash something in fastboot, I only know how to flash in recovery...
this is what I currently have, will just write everything down ^^

I kinda figured out that I can just download the hboot table I want, put it on the root of my sdcard and boot in hboot ( as stated on the website, apparantly wasn't thorough enough reading! )
on which rest only one question for me: it's no harm if I have a different hboot, say, that 'Bravo Stock 1.8', and flash another on top of it, say, Bravo CM7? will it just override? Am not gonna trial 'n error on this one, I'm too afraid haha

Great question. I would like to know that, too...
I haven´t understood the hboot thing yet.

Yes you just follow the instructions on that alpharev site, and flash over the old one. Remember you will be wiping everything afterward, so nandroid backup first. there is more detail in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794314

for the S-OFF and HBoot questions ... here is what i know ...
btw i am still S-ON (i am too lazy to do all this stuff lol)
you need to do a nand-backup anyways ...
1- first time when you do the alpharev (using the ISO) it will s-off ur device
2- now you can flash any other hboot from the list, using the fastboot
command
3- when you pick an hboot, the partitions size are mentioned next to it.
so if you are planning to still using the same (current) rom u have, u need to pick an hboot that the size of system,data, cache, ... fits the current rom,...
you can know that from the nand-backup u did, go and look at the size of system.img, and other file in the nand-backup folder, and see if they fit the hboot u will flash.
(fit means: the size of the system part of the hboot u want to flash is >= the size of system.img from nand-backup folder) and so on for other parts
otherwise, if you want to flash another rom, then you will pick any hboot u want, or STICK TO THE ROM DEVELOPER REQUEST. (some devs say, we need cm7 hboot for this rom)
so thats it, the main reason is to s-off,
then u can flash anything from fastboot:
radio, receovery img, rom, ... and so on.
hope this helps

great this is giving me a real understanding of what I'm doing
if you don't mind, i'd like to ask another question, feel free to tell me to gtfo
I'd like to take an example ( of which I think is a good example, because it has multiple options:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1040121
the Cool3D Sense rom requires:
either CM7 Hboot 130MB System, 5MB Cache, 302MB Data.
or DATA++ Hboot 180MB System, 5MB Cache, 252MB Data.
or Stock Hboot 250MB System, 40MB Cache, 147MB Data.
Stock Hboot Users need to Flash A2sd+ Script After Installing The ROM.
so if I understand correctly, I can install this rom with the CM7 hboot, without partitioning my SD card? because I don't need to flash A2sd script with that one. It also has the biggest Data partition. Because Stock Hboot only has 147, it needs to transfer the apps to the sdcard...?
I'm sorry if I'm kicking in an open door, but I really don't want to mess up my phone, so it's better to ask ^^
cheers, and thanks for all the help already

error in recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.1-bravo-slcd

i got this error during recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.1-bravo-slcd
what should i do now

its nothing to do with recovery, you shouldnt be using that recovery anyway as its old. unrevoked comes with a newer version of CWM
you are getting this error as you misc partition is damaged.
the quickest way to fix it is by using teppics downgrader to flash to a 2.1 eclair rom, root it with unrevoked 3.21 then flash a froyo radio then rom of choice.

internet passthrough? you mean using internet from pc on the phone via the cable or using the device as a modem?
read what i said again
with a misc error you downgrade to root it then upgrade.
if you dont want to do that then search misc error in the dev forums and good luck

thanks bro

When u have that sorted I think the desire HD rom is out now and it fits on our phone nand which means its fully on the phone and not half on the SD card. These roms have internet passthrough

HBoot Version(s) Confusion

My brother gave me a rooted HTC Desire. When I pop up the bootloader it says this:
Revolutionary
Bravo PVT3 Ship S-Off
HBOOT - 6.93.1002
MICROP-051d
Touch Panel-Synt0101
Radio-5.11.05.27
Aug 10, 2010, 17:52:18
I am under the impression that certain ROMs only work with certain HBoot versions (and typically bootloop when they don't work). I want to try some different ROMs (it came from my brother with Sandvold's 0.15.0.1) but I can't tell whether my HBoot version is compatible or not.
For example, marius.a has a Paranoid Android (Jelly Bean) beta ROM that I would like to test but he says:
Instructions:
v03 Stock hboot only
v02 Stock hboot / Jelly hboot in COS JB thread Recommended
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And then I found another post for another Jelly Bean build that seems to correlate HBoot variations with the size of the system partition on the internal memory.
So could someone please explain this HBoot situation for me? I couldn't find anything specific to HTC Desire or anything on the wiki. I'm fairly new to Android but run Linux on my notebook and used gparted to throw an ext4 partition onto the SD card already, so I'm good with most of the jargon.

You have stock hboot. For other go here:
www.alpharev.nl
There you have it all, without JB hboot.
Sent from my HTC Desire using Flashes and Thunders

When I go there I see
AlphaRev 1.8 is now deprecated software. If at all possible, use Revolutionary instead.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
where Revolutionary is a link. But that is what it says at the top of my bootloader, so I'm thinking that I don't have stock. Hence my confusion.
From the Revolutionary webpage I read:
Revolutionary will give you S-OFF either by a patched HBOOT or setting the secureflag to off on the device itself.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So I'm guessing that I have a patched HBoot.which was originally "HTC Desire (bravo) 0.93.0001, 1.02.0001."
But again, I'm confused. I am not sure that the HBoot version numbers mean anything, at this point.

Numbers you see mean just which version of hboot is. When we talk about stock, data++ and cm7r2 hboot we mean on partition layout of nand memory that's provided by hboot, not about number or version. That's why you see in your hboot 6.93... and it means that it is hacked 0.93 hboot. Sign 'revolutionary' means only that it is revolutionary flashed hboot with stock partition layout.

[Q] HTC Desire Bravo - Reinstallation

Hi everybody!
My GF just bought a second hand HTC Desire (Bravo). He is apparently running under a custom ROM, which apparently is not good because the phone is slow, keep freezing, stopping, so badly that we have to remove the battery to reset it each time. So we would like to change it.
Actually on the phone:
Code:
Android Version 2.3.5
HTC Sense 3.5
Software Runny ROM v6.1.1
Kernel 2.6.35
Base Band 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
Build Number 1.27.1400.4 CL182513
SD card 4GB
When I hold POWER+VOLUME Down at, displays:
Code:

MICROP-051D
TOUCH PANEL SYNT0101
RADIO-5.11.05.27
Aug 10 2010 17:52:18
So far with everything I read everywhere, I didn't very far. I managed to get the latest official ROM for the phone

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667 but I got an error 140.
I tried some others official and custom such as
MildWild CM-7.0 JG Stable
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and others, and didn't work either, saying something about problem with HBoot version.
Could somebody explain me what should I do step by step, in order to get an official or stable fast custom ROM on this so that we can use it, or eventually direct me?
Regards
Dam

Flash the stock hboot. You can get the zip or img file from the Alpharev website. There are many threads here explaining how to flash stock hboot from CM7r2 and vice versa. Just search for them.
Install latest recovery (4EXT is recommended). Wipe everything, re-partition your SD card (1GB ext4 and rest fat32) and download and install the ROM you want.
