[Q] RCMixS ROM: CM7 Hboot vs. Bravo Hboot? - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Complete n00b here so please be easy with me...
I tried to search and read around but it is all quite confusing, so I thought just to ask like this.
I have a stock unlocked Desire at the moment. I want to root it, do whatever other things are needed, and flash it with RCMixS ROM.
Is it better to go with CM7 A2SD Hboot or Bravo A2SD+ Hboot version of the ROM?
I mean, I can read the advantages or disadvantages of each version, but what version is better to go with in normal usage?
Since I am stock I can and will have to do all the steps that are needed. Just want to know which direction is best...
Do I need to flash a different radio? Which ROM manager is recommended?

Avoid rom manager. With bravo hboot all the system files go on the system partition but because of the lack if space for apps, you use your sd card instead. With the cm7 hboot you have less space to install system files and so the system apps will get installed onto the sd card but the apps get put onto memory since there is double the normal amount. That's the difference so up to you really.
Swyped...

diffrence in use ?
cm7 hboot will be waaaaay faster, since your apk's will run from NAND rather than from sd-ext as in normal hboot.
and dont get 'which rom manager is recommended' part
rom mangaer is an android app, an UI of clockworkmod recovery. its basically useless, as clockwork mod has super easy UI, you just need to boot into it.
no need to touch radio, do it only if you have problems with signal, wifi, data etc.

tried both, cm7 version is a little bit faster...at least on my desire...

Thanks!
Sorry, I meant which recovery, not rom manager... I see there's Amon Ra and CWM.
CM7 hboot sounds better and faster. I think I'll go with it then...
Just wondering - how come some people (or quite a few) choose then to stay with original bravo hboot if the CM7 is faster and offers more phone memory? Is it only because of hassle of doing S-off or is there something else?

If you're a n00b I wouldn't be looking to S-OFF yet. Give the Bravo HBOOT version a blast, I'm using it and it's plenty fast enough and using A2SD+ means you still have loadsa space for apps

I use Cm7 Hboot, I think it's a little bit faster than the Stock Hboot, if you want change Hboot, download it [URL="http://alpharev.nl" Here [/URL] and use Android Flasher

same as rooting, doing s-off is a potential way of bricking device
so thats why not everyone is willing to risk.
cwm or amonRA - no diffrence here, amonRA is supposed to be more advanced, but you can do just about anything with cwm. just remember to use latest versions

I'm tempted to change over from stock hboot to cm7. I'm s-off already, using RCMix S v2. My SD card is partitioned for stock hboot version of the rom. Will I need to repartition it? Thanks in advance.

To note on recovery, if your device is PVT4 you need to use RA not clockwork.
You can check PVT version at the top of your bootloader screen.

so this means i cant flash my hboot to hboot cm7 without bricking or what , (im a noob )?
bravo pvt4 ship s-off
hboot 0.93.0001

I used until today the Bravo HBOOT.
Today I went to CM7.
I can't say which one is faster.
I think booth have advantages and disadvantages.
Anyway one thing is certain and this is that all of us must say thanks to all the developers who are struggling to give us the very best of the new goodies that are coming out each day.

I don't known changelog in new ROM CyanogenMod7

after installing this rom is it normal that i can no longer manually boot into recovery (hold volume down & press power)? i can only access it through rom manager.

I used this rom stock version about 3 weeks, recently i changed in CM7 hboot and it has no more little lags! i can assure it works perfectly now, it's a real pleasure now
@shinyazz52 no it's not normale, i suggested to wipe all and reflash rom.

Agreed! CM7 is much faster for me

HiApk vs InsertCoin

Hello there,
I'm looking for a gingerbread ROM with 3.0 Sense to it, and both HiApk and InsertCoin look amazing.
What are the major differences and which is recommended?
Thanks in advance!
InsertCoin is better !i use it for a long time !
Also, I would definitely go for InsertCoin. I tried both, but HiApk was a bit laggy.
Kudos you two
Just FYI, InsertCoin is mostly based on RcMixS.

Another question:
I had my desire rooted by using unrevoked few months ago. I now notice I have ClockWork 2.5 and my device is S-ON.
Correct my humble try to understand:
I need to make a nandroid backup, go S-OFF (1. by using unrevoked? alpharev?), update ClockWork to 3.2 (2. what is the difference to amon-ra?), and flash InsertCoin (3. do I have to flash a radio or does it come with one?)
Thanks!!

S-OFF using alpharev, also i would suggest going for CM7 HBOOT if you gonna use InsertCoin, and yes you probably need CWM 3.x.x.x because its supporting new installer scripts which are required in some ROM's.
Use 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08 or 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23 Radio, see which is best for you.
InsertCoin is constantly developed and the stable version is very reliable and fast.
Insertcoin!!!

1. Which alpharev version should I use?

hboot partition table
if you mean which HBOOT to use,
then you need
"Bravo Stock 1.8" for ROM InsertCoin a2sd
"Bravo CM7" for the ROM InsertCoin cm7 (hence the cm7 in the name)
The "download" files are for updating the hboot with fastboot command from your computer (you need the ADB toolkit or one the of fastboot GUI interfaces you can find in the HTC Desire development thread).
The "PB99IMG" files are for updating the hboot directly on your phone without computer. It requires to boot the phone in bootloader/fastboot mode and is probably riskier than the computer method.
Anyway you need to first S-OFF with alpharev iso (which will also update the recovery to CWM-AlphaRev 2.5.1.8 with dark blue color and keep the default bravo stock 1.8 partition table) and then you can update the partition table to CM7.
Correct my humble try to understand:
I need to make a nandroid backup, go S-OFF (1. by using unrevoked? alpharev?), update ClockWork to 3.2 (2. what is the difference to amon-ra?), and flash InsertCoin (3. do I have to flash a radio or does it come with one?)

Radio
InsertCoin rom does not come with radio.
You should flash the recommended radio. it is better to do it with fastboot command (or GUI tool) from a computer. And it is the only way to do it after flashing the CM7 HBOOT as the cache partition is then too small (5Mb) for allowing radio flashing from recovery.
Recovery fake flash
If you don't want to change your recovery you could try to fake flash the 3.2 recovery when you need it.
Fake flash means to load another recovery (3.2) while in recovery (2.5) by simply applying a zip file. You then have all the feature of the 3.2 recovery without permanently installing it.
1) put the zip with 3.2 recovery on your SD card (zip in thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1039954)
2) boot in recovery
3) apply the zip (like you would flash a rom, but it only loads the 3.2 recovery operating system without removing/deleting any file in your phone). You should notice the text color change and a few more options in the menu.
4) enjoy
I've been doing this for all the InsertCoin GB versions (well at least 30 times so...) and never had any problem. This allows to flash zip with amend and edify scripts by selecting either the default recovery or the 3.2.
You can also use the fake flash method to run Amon-RA recovery.
Fake Flash is more or less what what Rom Manager is doing when you use it to reboot in recovery mode (but it only supports a restricted set of recovery versions that have been tuned to work with Rom Manager).
Another benefit of fake flash is that you can still use your old nandroid backups, as it it not recommended to restore with recovery X a backup made with recovery Y.
[advanced] You can also fake flash the img recovery with fastboot from your computer
By the way there are also detailed info in the wiki (it was for the InsertCoin HD but most of it still applies):
http://insertcoin.baadnwz.eu/wiki/InsertCoin_Data%2B%2B_RoM
Hope it helps...
Helps? This is golden! Thank you so much for your time and effort!
I prefer IC, more than HiApk.
I don't mean to be OT but what about IC vs Reflex? I tried both and maybe Reflex is a little faster than IC.
I prefer InsertCoin for gingerbread and Sense over other ROM. I tried both , but InsertCoin is faster and more stable.
1. Why can't I flash alpharev's Bravo CM7 .img immediately?
2. Where is alpharev's livecd .iso? Is it necessary to use it and not to fastboot flash immediately?
3. Why shouldn't I use "unrevoked forever" (1) s-off tool?
1. If s-off goes wrong, it won't change partition table's sizes
2. http://alpharev.nl/alpharev.iso
3. It supports only few Desires
JUst to throw a cat among the pigeons...RCMix, FTW!!
Update:
First of all, I gparted the sd-card (3.5 fat32, 512mb ext3, 32mb swap).
Then I had success doing s-off (I flashed a stock rom prior to that) using alpharev's cd, flashbooted (so easy using these tools on linux) alpharev's Bravo CM7 .img, wiped it all, flashbooted CWM 3.2 and now flashing InsertCoin v45 Nightly <3 <3
More updates soon, and ofcourse, many thanks to all of you!
Update:
It's working quite good, besides few lags and slow-downs of Sense.
Flashed a new radio as well, and right now it seems wonderful.
Kudos to alpharev, baadnwz and all you guys too!

[Q] Only CM7 on my Desire, no other.. Why?

Hello everybody, i have a question for you all.. My problem: I have a s-off Desire with Alpharev CM7, CWM Recovery 4.0.0.5 and latest radio on it. I have tried to install many, MANY roms, but all, except 2, have the same problem.. After installation from the recovery, i only see the joker face from Alpharev, and nothing more. AceSMod007, RcMixHD, VillainRom and many more.. The only 2 exceptions are MIUI, that comes to its own bootscreen, but looping and no boot, and CyanogenMod, that works great. Why that? I have tried to install Hboot Sense, Hboot stock, but nothing.. Anyone should help me please? Many thanks, regards
have you partioned you sd, if not make an ext partition of 1GB with Gparted
If you are using cm7 hboot try upgrading to cm7r2 hboot from alpharev.nl as the roms mentioned require it.

Yes both with ext3 (by cmw) and ext4.. hboot r2 but others too
Are you doing a full wipe before flashing the rom? This is needed when switching roms.
Only use cm7 hboot if your using cm7 or a rom that was designed to use that hboot. Otherwise stick with stock unless specifically required by the new rom untill you got it working.
If not maybe your recovery is messed up, try a different version.
Back up your sd and use 4EXT recovery to start from strach. Create aligned partitions with this recovery. Mostly, the boot loops happen when hboot is too small for the rom or ext partition(s) is broken or not aligned. Also you can fix your partition with e2fsck.
Try InsertCoin CM7, and do everything what is said above, should be fine then

maybe that is.. I have installed alpharev stock hboot and reflashed original RUU, tomorrow i will try to root my phone again..
PS. with others Alpharev hboot, RUU won't upload, so, if you need to flash a RUU, is important that you install STOCK ALPHABOOT

[Q] Multiple Issue!!!

I would appreciate if someone can help me...
Now, think that problems started with this new Hboot's (r2)... I installed oxygen r2 hboot just to try AOSP roms.
Now I have cm7 r2 hboot but something is very wrong since I can't flash many roms I flashed before. For example I tried to flash Reflex s (I saw many people on xda with cm7r2 hboot and Reflex s CM7 rom.) It reboots over and over at the point when first sense screen shows. Same thing with Insert Coin or StarBurst ROM.
Furthermore, it shows cash error when I use android flasher for Hboot flash so I flash my Hboot's via Hboot (zip file on sd-card and update), also Amon Ra recovery reports that some E: cash (something) can't be found.
I can, however, flash AOSP roms, and some sense roms (Sense-O-Villian CM7 ROM which i use now), but flashlight stoped working at all some time ago, and yesterday camera went blank and now have no camera also (maybe they broke but I cant figure it out since I can't flash other rom's).
I started to think that problem lies in Hboot and tried to downgrade Hboot 6.93.1002. to 0.93 but don't know how because when I used android flasher with Alpharev downgrade.img file i stucked at Hboot which says Alpharev Unlocked and I dont know what next should be done...
So phone works and also doesn't work and for now I'can't find solution and asking for help... Feels like I stucked on one or two roms... I'm not to experienced but tried to follow rules and threads I found here. Sorry for bad english also!
I partitioned sd card with MiniTool Partition Wizard (FAT32 6,5 gb, EXT4 1,5 gb)

Desire PVT4 AMOLED, S-Off, Alpharev Hboot 6.93.1002. (cm7r2/oxygen r2) Amon Ra Recovery (latest) ROM: Don't know anymore
okay.. to address some of your issues:
1. The Alpharev downgrader is used when you need to S-ON your Desire. Alpharev HBoots are "locked", so they cannot be overwritten when you run a RUU, so you will remain S-OFF. So when you flash the downgrader, then run the RUU, you will be S-ON as the Hboot is "unlocked" and can be overwritten.
2. Some ROM's will not work on the CM7 R2 hboot because the /system partition is too small, so you would need to flash one with a bigger partition.
3. Try this:
- Backup your current rom (nand backup)
- boot into fastboot and use fastboot commander (requires Java SDK). Go to "Misc" and wipe system, cache, userdata & boot.
- flash the stock bravo hboot with fastboot commander (in the hboot, radio & rec tab - select the hboot.img and click flash SPL) (still S-OFF, just stock partition sizes)
- reboot into recovery and flash a new ROM.
Once you've done that and everything works fine go ahead and flash different HBoots that suit your ROM needs
Hboot MD5 7bd5234711364880de1fa982dcf3a2d6
Thanks for reply, but I did similar thing with android flasher and flashed stock Hboot, but it didnt downgraded my Hboot to 0,93 for Bravo PVT, I stucked with Hboot 6.93.1002, same thing here with fastbootComander... I,ll try flashing old CM7 with commander now... and same thing... i get msg that I cant revert to old Hboot... wich means that I can't flash old CM7 Hboot on Hboot ver. 6.93.1002. And here somewhere is prob. cause I saw that many people have Reflex s CM7 rom on phone but with new CM7r2 Hboot partitioning which means that it's compatible with new CM7r2 and that is logical cause new CM7r2 is bigger than old . It doesn't work for me... it simply reboots all the time and I allways pay attention about rom system partition... and sd card partitions ext3/4 (rom supports etc)
Practicly every ROM I flash rebots itself constantly, for example Villain rom which is compatible with cm7r2 reboots but good thing I have it's nand backup and when I restore everything seems ok...!!!??
Anyway I'll thank you for your help.... one more thing.... i think that I should be able to downgrade somehow without flashing RUU and S-ON again?!
When using r2 hboots, you always have to flash downgrader before you can change hboot (especially when you want to flash ruu). After this you can flash any hboot you want and you will still be s-off.

Ok, tnx for info but how can I flash downgrade?
I mean, I flashed it and get to the poit where Hboot says Alpharev unlocked... what next... how to flash another hboot... With FastbootCmomander maybee? (After I flashed downgrader I flashed again r2 via hboot zip file cause I don't have old Hboot's zip files... but now I'll use FastbootCommander... i have old cm7 here somewhere...
And furthermore... I don't know what is the problem at all... cause I don't have probs with new Hboot but phone started to act weird, as I said, when I flash a new ROM, Villain for ex. it want let me to start using it due to constant reboots at startup and Villain suports CM7r2, cause I flashed it before and I also have nand backup of Villain which works when restored!!?? (now I have Villain ROM) Strange...
tnx
You flash the new hboot like any other hboot before, so with fastboot:
Code:
fastboot flash hboot <filename>
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
<filename> is only a placefolder which has to be replaced which the real filename without the "< >".
Did you flash hboot before or after flashing rom? You should always do it before flashing rom.
wait... my HBoot is 6.93.1002 and I haven't got any problems flashing hboots...... and you don't need to flash the downgrader every time!, only need it when you need S-ON when flashing a RUU.

Good to know, thanks. Was not completely sure the downgrader is needed when you do not flash a ruu. When I change hboot I would always flash the downgrader, just to be on the safe side.

Fair do's, I could never be bothered.. and plus it saves me like.. 3 seconds of my time
Well I know all that and I also flashed Hboots without downgrader. But my problem still stands. For some reason I can't flash Roms I mean I can flash but then it bootloops forever. It feels like I have some files on sistem that can't be wiped anymore.
At the other hand when I restore my old nand of same rom, it works, as long as I don't flash mods, kernels or something that changes system, then I get android.
phone force closes on every home key press.
So now I'm bit scared to turn back S-ON and RUU and I'll have to do that because of warranty issue (camera works no more) Urgh...
Sent by mesage in the bottle ...
before you flash the downgrader make sure you flash the right RUU!!! otherwise if you get the wrong one you'll be stuck with S-ON and a ill-functioning phone. It's better for you to have to do it twice than be in trouble lol
I agree... but strange thing happened, after flashing few roms I tought that camera's gone. Yesterday in 2 am suddenly camera reappears and till now works fine. So I dont know if that's hard or soft error. I think it's soft but that's another reason to reflash s-on and RUU and back again, maybe sistem clears itself.
How can I know which RUU is right for my desire? I forgot to backup when did s-off...

If your phone's branded you should've made a goldcard so you can flash the WWE RUU's, if it's not branded.. then just flash the latest WWE RUU.
If it is branded, look here, for the right RUU for your phone.. obviously download the RUU for your network.
Secondly, if you made a backup of your original stock ROM, it helps a lot since you can look at the build version and match it with the RUU (What I did )
Or instead of flashing a RUU, why don't you just get fastboot commander, it allows you to wipe system, userdata, cache, boot & recovery.. which would solve your problem.. if there is one in the first place xD

[Q] Desire stuck in reboot, able to go into clockwork recovery

Hello xda,
I'm having a current issue with my HTC Desire phone.
I wanted to load a custom rom on my desire, specifically the Runnymede 5.2 mod, but i encountered some problems, mainly due to my own stupidity.
I rooted the phone with unrevoked, and then installed rom manager to load a custom rom on my phone. After this, when i start my phone, it only shows the intro from htc and beats audio, then it just reboots and does it all over. Seems this guide i followed (not from here, should have used the one here), said nothing about s-on or s-off, neither about partisions.
I am able to get into recovery mode from clockword mod.
Info about my phone:
Boot menu info:
BRAVO PVT3 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.93.0001
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNW0101
RADIO-5.11.05.27
Kinda wondering if i'm able to find a standard rom somewhere, and then install it with clockword mod, or is that impossible because the security is on? If that's not possible, what else should I do? I read the Q/A post, but didn't encounter my specific problem...
If you need more info i'll post asap,
Thanks in advance,
Mauro

you do not have an ext3 oder ext4 on your sd card?

your bootloop is most likely caused by the wrong hboot...as you are still s-on, you got the stock hboot...you need cm7r2 hboot to run runnymede 5.2

[Q] cant install new roms on htc desire

hi i rooted my htc desire about one year ago and i installed a MUI Rom and since then i have not added another rom.
now i am trying to install the new roms cool droid and other but im having problems. i install the rom and it says it has been successful but when i reboot the htc it stays stuck at the htc logo forever. how long should it take. i know a new roms takes about 5-10 mins to start up but it shouldn't take upto an 1hr to start.
i would appreciate some help. thanks, adal316
Did you full wipe before flashing a rom? Did you flash sd-ext dependent roms without having an ext partition?
hi friend. thanks for your reply and help. much appreciated.
ive done the full wipe. but i did not do this '' flash sd-ext dependent roms without having an ext partition? ''
how would i go about do this

You can partition your SD card from Recovery (depends on what type of recovery you use though)
Are you also sure you are using the right hboot?
im using clockworkMod recovery v5.0.2.0
im sorry about this but what do you mean using the right Hboot. its been a very long time since i last installed a ROM and ive forgot quite a bit so really would appreciate your help here.
Hello.
Try to tell us more information, which roms are you trying to install? Besides cool droid. Try to be more specific.
You said, you did a full wipe. That means factory reset + wiping data+wiping dalvik. Correct?
About the HBOOT thing. Try to boot into bootloader(volume down + power button), you can see the HBOOT number and version there.
Im no expert on rooting, but in the recent days ive reflashed lots of differerent roms. many roms did not boot, most likely reason was wrong rom for my phone. (i needed room for HTC Desire "Bravo")
i might be wrong, but it seemed to me that the different roms needs different recovery.
with my current setup im able to run cm but not miui. i was able to boot that one with another recovery that did not work with cyanogenmod.
i currently using CM10.1 VJ Jelly Bean 4.2.1 v4.5.

That happened to me when using stock hboot, but when i used cm7r2, the rom booted fine. Don't know why.
That's right, try flashing cm7r2 hboot,as abaaaabbbb63 said and I suppose it should be working fine.
Btw. My recommendation is.
Don't bother flashing 4.x.x ROMs for Desire. I don't think any of them are as good (I mean, smooth, without bugs, etc.) as the GB roms. Desire is now an "old" phone, you don't really need 4.x.x, instead of that, try flashing for example MildWild roms, (the one in my signature for example). You can get very nice performance, and a little 4.x.x look, which is probably why you're experimenting with 4.x.x ROMS
hey I had the same problem with my galaxy note then i formatted the SD .Then the problem was solved.
Ok

Parandroid?
U mean paranoidandroid? If so that requires stock hboot. The rom they talking bout is cool droid. And if its the CoolDroid Revolution they talking bout then i wouldnt even bother flashing it, its bad, no offence to the dev but its slow, laggy, full of bugs. If its the old CoolDroid by coolexe then that rom is great all round.
Right
