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.

What does it say next to alpharev?
Also what's your rom? radio?
Also download titanium backup from the market and tell us what you see on the partition info on the first page

I forgot to mention that, too. Sorry.
I bought it second hand with ultimate droid.
I just have been reading about the way I should flash the roms without bricking the phone...
The first line in the bootloader is: ---alpharev---
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 ^^

Edit: Misread your post. Thought you were referring to if you were running AlphaRev or stock hboot.

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

1. You most likely are going to need 0.93 hboot, best way to do it to s-off and flash latest hboot. 2. Advantage is that you can flash different hboot and try data++/cm7 roms. Also this allows safer radio flash. S-on doesn't allow you to edit system folder when Rom is running, s-off does.
3. Look in rooting guide stickie, not much changed, you still need to use unrevoked.

Is the Insertcoin rom the right size for the cm7 hboot you are using?
If its too big you won't be able to boot it without changing the partition table.

Judging by the info he's given everything is ok.
Problem solved. I couldn't flash the ROM because I partitioned the SDcard with EXT4 directly from the computer, not via phone.
The ROM is working like a charm now. Thanks to you all for the help.
What's left now is which radio to Flash? and why? What are the advantages?

I also have the newer model which when rooted via unrevoked does not give s-off.
I have a goldcard and would just like to get a definitive answer. Will using the Rom for h3g on shipped roms website unroot my phone. Bear in mind I cannot back up my current Rom
thanx in advance!
the at is the sign but can't post it due to link rules for new users1
Yes, it will unroot your phone.

Thanx for tje reply. Any suggestions on which one to use. Also how do I use my gold card?
Use the latest h3g ruu which you can find on http://shipped-roms.com
Put your goldcard in your desire, run the downloaded exe and follow the instructions on the screen.

Thanx for the tips. It a real comfort having u guys around to put our noob minds at ease. Big help!
Actually could I ask one more thing. How would o go about rooting again. This time I can't flash a new Rom. I want to be able to back up my current Rom before using alpharev to change boot. Any suggestions?
To run alpharev, you need root access. If you have root access (probably with using unrevoked), you have a revovery with witch you can backup your current system.
Sent from Oxygen
So it should be. But due to my model I can't flash recovery. All that happens is after selecting recovery in CWM the screen goes black and I have to take tje battery out to start the phone. I done some research on tje web and it is due to the model of desire I have. UNREVOKED does not take s-off. I know I have to use alpharev to correct it but ad I can't flash recovery I am nervous to try. Any suggestions?

Clockwork does not work with pvt4 desires. You have to flash amonra recovery.
Sent from Oxygen
aaaaaa!! was looking at that, so i flash amonra and i can then flash recover. good. i canthen take the risk using alpharev. will the ruu work with pvt4 and the hboot that i havegot. saw something that indicates that it may need downgrading?
Yes, the ruu will work with your phone.
But i think you getting something wrong:
You cannot backup your hboot with recovery. If the s-off procedure by alpharev fails, your phone might be bricked. Now backup can protect you from this, because the bootloader (which gets changed in this s-off procedure) is the absolute base of your phone. If this one is bricked, your phone is not more than a paperweight.
in the meantime i have managed to replace CWM with AmonRa. I now have a current rom back up. If some thing goes wrong with the alpharev procedure, will this recovery image allow me to restore to the current state i have now. It sounds like it won't if i am getting you correctly?

The s-off procedure does not touch your phone or rather its current state.
I do not write the same thing a second time. My second last past answered your question. Maybe it's too late.

Use Revolutionary method (http://revolutionary.io). Read the info document (link somewhere down the page). Install custom recovery if asked. At the end install zip from info page to root your phone. You will be able to flash custom ROMs afterwards.

Good sir, is your brain lacking the function of processing data captured by his eyeballs into useful things? Yes? Well that would explain why you had not noticed that the man is already S-OFF.
What you need to do is go to WWW.alpharev.nl , and download the bravo_stock PB99IMG and rename it to PB99IMG.zip. once you've got that, put it on the root of your memory card (as in not any folders), poweroff and boot into the BOOTLOADER (not fastboot), wait for it to check for files, then when it asks you whether you'd like to update select yes.
You now have a fully S-OFF phone with a patched Alpharev hboot that gives you a lot more.
Now what you need to do is flash recovery, there is a guide for you on my guide, look in the contents post to find it.
After all that you can boot into recovery and flash custom ROMs. Don't forget to backup your current ROM before you flash a new one!! And also before you do flash, do a full wipe from \moubts & storage (format: boot, system, data, cache)
Thanks a lot Bortak, everything is working fine now
Hello,
Cannot post to the the Dev forums yet because I'm mostly reading and posting little (or too noob if you prefer ), so have to put this here:
I want to try an ICS ROM, and I've been following a thread dedicated to it from day one. Now I think it has reached a level I could use it as my daily. One fundamental requirement is to be in stock hboot. I've tried searching but I haven't understood one thing:
Does stock refer to the partition table or to a specific hboot version number?
At a moment my partitions reflect that of the stock i.e. 250M / 40M / 147M, but I'm on a Revolutionary 6.93.1002 hboot (running GingerVillain) instead of 0.93.1003 or something like that.
Thanks for any help and clarifications!
Stock hboot means the default partition table. If you used revolutionary to s-off and have not done anything, then yeah you are on stock s-off hboot.
via xda app
that was one quick answer
That's exactly what I've done, so I'm OK to go. Thanks!
Just to continue (and to drive my post count up ) Any benefit to upgrade hboot to a newer version? If yes, which?
Since you are s-off you either use the partition tables available in the alpharev.nl site. There is no such thing as "upgrade" hboot. You only change hboot depending on the rom requirement and your app space requiremment. I use aosp rom that uses less system space so I choose to use CMr2 hboot instead of stock hboot.
via xda app
Change HBOOT
I've changed my HBOOT before with the alpharev method, and since bought a rooted phone with the Revelutionary method. (My original Desire died Is the process the same to change the HBOOT on Rev rooted phones?
That is the same proces... Revolutionary is join forces from alpharev and unrevoked
And one more thing revolutionary provides s-off, your Rom becomes rooted after you flash Super user zip from their website via recovery

Bravo PVT3 Ship S-Off
HBOOT - 6.93.1002
MICROP-051d
Touch Panel-Synt0101
Radio-5.11.05.27

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

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.

When I go there I see
AlphaRev 1.8 is now deprecated software. If at all possible, use Revolutionary instead.

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.

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.
