[Q] Very important Question

Please guide me how to check if i have desire z hboot or g2? just saw the tweet by rmk, he said next unity release will require desire z hboot and i am not sure which one i have, i am also sure it will also help other noobs like me
Vision Pvt S-off
Hboot: 0.82.0000
Radio: 26.03.02.26_emmc

quickest way is to check internal storage.... (if you have 1.28GB you got G2 less you got DZ)

ok it means i have g2 hboot, bro i dont have computer, can i change my hboot with the one posted by rmk on his site and without using computer? i mean putting that pc10img.zip file on root of my sdcard, and than reboot to hboot which its read automaticaly, and let it update?

Yea you could, just when it tells you to do adb recovery just go to the recovery through the bootloader...just after you are done flashing the bootloader replace the sdcard (temporaraly) with another one so the bootloader doesn't try to reflash itsel
Although... I wouldn't do this because you need your comp to. Check the md5 sum of the PC10IMG.zip... which just makes sure that there were no download errors....

[ROM][HTC][WILDFIRE S A510e][EUROPE][2.3.5][PG76IMG.ZIP] To Flash From Hboot

Thought I would post rom.zip from inside the RUU Release:
Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.13.401.2_Radio_47.23a.35.3035H_7.53.39.03M_release_225747
It's downloadable as a PG76IMG.zip file for those who are able to/want to flash it from Hboot instead of RUU connected to computer method.
I flashed my upgrade this way and it fully upgraded Radio, Hboot, Microp, etc.
I was XTC Clip S-OFF of course. It did not S-ON the phone.
Directions:
1/ Download the file.
2/ Place it on the root of your SD Card.
3/ Power down and remove and replace battery.
4/ Hold Volume Down and Power On buttons at the same time.
5/ Follow the directions on screen.
6/ Replace file with your custom recovery and flash it if need be.
Enjoy.

I have a few questions...
1. Where can I find the Virgin Mobile version?
2. What does this actually do
3. Will it S-On my Goldcard S-Offed device?
EDIT:
I want to flash the Virgin Mobile version in Hboot, by the way.

This is simply the stock rom extracted from the RUU installer. Nothing more. Nothing less.

This File is signed by HTC.
So you dont need S-off to flash this Rom.

This is not for the A510e ?
Or?

I think,the title clearly say [WILDFIRE S A510e].

Will this remove my simlock?

No. Its a original HTC Rom

Your phone is branded so use a goldcard or a ruu with the correct cid.

theq86 posted in another thread that it's possible to install this with an unlocked bootloader without a gold card.
Here's his instructions:
theq86 said:
extract the zip.
Copy:
boot.img
system.img
to your Android directory (where you have fastboot and adb)
boot into hboot, mark fastboot, hit power button and attach usb cable
now open a command shell:
fastboot flash boot boot.ini <-- will flash kernel and boot
fastboot flash system system.img <-- will flash stock rom
now go to hboot, factory reset and restart
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I shall be trying it when the file has finished downloading.

Flash the downgrader hboot from alpharev.nl then run the ruu again .
I suggest you to back s-on only for warranty purpose. In case of that after the downgrader flash the froyo ruu 2.29.405.5.

But if i did that downgrader. can i load a custom rom if i rooted , wil than turn also the S-onn?
I mean.. can it only be the S-onn if you DOWNGRADE to a officeel htc rom or can it be also if you load a custom rom? to turn that S-on?

Thanks for you're reply, but it doesnt matter wich extensie right? .zip/.exe

You can use a ruu.exe or a PB99IMG.zip but the zip should always be a last resort. Some people are often too lazy to get their usb cable from upstairs or in too much of a rush, they must do it on the train to work....

Thanks for you time buddy ,
PS: this methode is that same as for the sensation and other htc models?

No idea what you just said. Use the .exe

Download PB99IMG_stock from alpharev.nl and flash your phone, then download htc sync from htc.com.
Then, if you want 2.3 rom - download 2.3 ruu from http://www.htcdev.com/process/legal_download/152, extract, connect to htc sync and then click RUU_HTC Desire Android 2.3 Upgrade (Gingerbread).exe. After few minutes you'll get stcok fresh anndroid 2.3 with s-on.

How it works is with a RUU you can only use the same version or newer. This is because you cannot flash an older hboot. The downgrader puts a very low hboot version on so all ruu hboots are seen as newer, even though they are not

Can you post the complete information you have about your hboot? You can't be S-Off after you updated to the official Gingerbread file from HTC... unless you did something else afterwards.

Try s-off again...

I just try to update from android 2.2 to 2.3 with ruu upgrade from htc website, all proces goes ok and complete phone get reboot an stock on white htc screen with ceeping rebooting all the time.
