I flashed my hboot from bravo_alphaspl-cm7.img to bravo_alphaspl-oxygen.img. I used the "Android Flasher utility" after preforming a nandroid backup. I believe I flashed it properly, since I can get into my hboot and it says alpharev oxygen at the top in pink. That being said i cannot boot into either cm7 or oxygen rom. I think i need to reflash alpharev? how would I do that without booting into rom?
[resolved] Guess i didn't wipe my data....
I think the /system partition of the oxygen hboot is to small for the cm7 rom. Usually you should flash hboot on this way:
1.) Make nandroid backup
2.) Flash hboot
3.) Boot into recovery, wipe everything and then restore nandroid-backup

I flashed this file and after wards every time that I tried to boot it would go to hboot. Someone suggested flashing a custom rom. I flashed fresh and thought this fixed my problem but it would just bootloop the fresh splash screen. nand restores say that they are successful but I still can not get past hboot or the fresh splash screen. PLEASE HELP!
I'm assuming you're talking about this PC36IMG.zip from this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7978758#post7978758
If so, it seemed to work fine for me...make sure you're flashing the one in post #18 not the OP.
the only thing I can guess is to make sure you wipe your cache and dalvic before flashing the rom and/or restoring a nand backup.
I had flashed fresh 3.2 and I flashed the pc36img file and I didn't even need to flash the rom again or my nand backup.
I would pull the battery, boot to bootloader, check what hboot you have to see if the pc36img flashed correctly, then go into recovery and make sure the recovery updated to 1.8 (look at the bottom of the screen in recovery), then do a factory data reset, wipe data twice, wipe dalvic twice, and then try to restore your backup and report back.
You mention you cant get past hboot or the fresh flash screen. Do you mean fresh's boot animation?
when I've flashed fresh roms the boot animation usually is on for about 5 minutes before it proceeds. Make sure you're waiting long enough once you get to that point.
I flashed the DZ hBoot on my G2 to flash new sense3.0 ROMS but after updating the PC10IMG.zip file in the bootloader it reboots and hangs at the htc logo screen & even was not allowing me to enter recovery mode....so i removed the sdcard and erased the PC10IMG.zip file and then rebooted into recovery and tried restoring the backed up ROM ...but while restoring the boot img it gives out the error 'boot img not found' ...hence while i reboot again it hangs at the HTC screen!!! pls help!!!
*AND YES...THE ROM WHICH IM TRYING TO RESTORE IS MY STOCK G2 ROM*
you won´t be able to restore your g2 stock rom... choose a different one (maybe on of the sense roms - you did change your hboot because of that, didn´t you?)
go to recovery and mount usb storage put the rom (.zip) on the sdcard unmount usb storage and flash the rom through recovery.
maybe wipe cache & dalvik cache before flashing the new rom

Why exactly can't you restore stock rom? I have dz hboot and do it all the time on tmobile g2

I thought it does make trouble to install a not rooted g2 stock rom on a rooted phone with dz hboot.... but i actually never tried it myself.

Hi,
I am not new at flashing and modding but got stucked and need some expert help
Here is what I have done:
1. had hboot cm7r2 and Runnymede AIO ROM - Working great but decided to sell Desire
2. Changed HBOOT to Alfarev Sense, partitioned to ext3
3. Installed Leedroid 3.0.8. Sense ROM
4. Rebooted - after that can not go further than boot screen
I repeated procedure few time but still on boot screen
Any ideas ?!
Why don't you try the STOCK partition table because it has a bigger system partition size
Probably the best choice for you would be to restore stock HTC rom.
Just sayin...

did you format all partitions? aligned ext3?
Sounds like you did not wipe cache after changing Hboot and did not wipe anything when changing Rom. If you did that, the Leedroid Rom does not fit into Sense Hboot, so you have to change to Stock Hboot:
Wipe everything, flash hboot (do not forget to reboot bootloader and wipe cache afterwards) and then flash ROM again.

So I've had BCM 4.0 installed and wanted to go back to my Oxygen from backup. Here's what I did:
-installed oxygen r2 hboot via fastboot
-rebooted phone
-booted to recovery, wanted to restore backup
but there's nothing in recovery. I can only see the background of the 4ext touch, nothing else.
Tried flashing hboot again - nothing changes.
Can I restore with official 2.3.3 RUU?
Never mind. "Clear storage" option in bootloader did the trick
Hi,
I am new to flashing and it is a long time ago when I flashed Gingervillan.
Current state of my phone is: S-on, hboot is 0.093.0001 and I have root. I do not know which version of recovery is installed.
What I did up to now to prepare the Sandvold flash is backing up with nandroid. My first question is: Can I go back with this nandroid back to my Gingervillan system regardless what Iam doing with partitioning, hboot or flashing another recovery?
The second question is: I read, that the sandvold image can cope with all hboot versions. Nevertheless I would like to install CM7r2 since it is much smaller. So I have to S-off first. Am I right?
Third question is: Which kind of recovery do I need to flash the sandvold ROM? I have tried to flash Sandvolds ROM with the recovery I have currently installed but it did not work.
Fourth question: Do I need to partition my SDcard newly to benefit from Apps2SD? I now have very rare space and had to move my Dalvik cache to SD.
Thanks for your help.

A nandroid won't restore hboot, recovery, and won't undo your sd-partition. It just restores boot, system, cache, data, sd-ext.
S-off with revolutionary, then install 4ext recovery and partition your sd-card.
