[Q] WIch RUU is the right for updating hboot? - Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody
I want to update my 0.80 HBOOT for S-OFF, now my question is what is the right? I live in Austria & bought my Wildfire with the provider T-Mobile Austria.
Thank you.

Since your Wildfire is already debranded I assume, use any Froyo RUU. Personally, I used WWE 2.22.405.1, since that has HBoot 1.01.0001, which has no issues with AlphaRev X.

If I remember correctly, you can get S-OFF with unrevoked if you have HBOOT < 1.01.0001
Also I don't think you can change the HBOOT with a RUU, because before alpharevx it was possible to downgrade the RUU, but not the HBOOT.
Since I'm new here, I cannot give you the link to unrevoked, but you will find it easyly with google.
Good luck!

First Thanks for the reply
Yes it's debranded, but now I have another question: the WWE 2.22.405.1 is a .zip file, how do i update the hboot with it?

There's an EXE file as well on the Shipped ROM's site for WWE 2.22.405.1. It's a little bit lower in the table.
Anyway, if you want to try with the ZIP file (I tried the Zip first - didn't work for me), then download it, rename it to PC49IMG.zip, place it on the root of your SDCard, and reboot in HBoot mode. It will automatically detect the file and attempt to install it.

Nope.
Unrevoked S-OFF tool (called unrevoked forever) is not present for wildfire. But instead present for some other htc phones.

What do you mean by "present "?
All I know is that there is an unrevoked version that works with WF before HBOOT 1.01.001.
This can't be used for S-OFF?

All it does for hboot 0.80 is pushing of custom recovery through a nand exploit. The phone still stays s-on.
But such kind of tool is available for some other htc devices.

[Q] Upgrade HBOOT

Hi there
i have Hboot 0.80 And I want to S-OFF my phone!
alpharevx for HBOOT 1.01
what do i do?
Thanks all
It took me ages but probably because I took the long way round.
I think I formatted my SD card and made as gold card, then used the RUU tool in the Arabic RUU thread below this one.
That worked for me after a day of trial and error. I guess there is a quicker way. Search the forums I know alot of rooting guides have popped up since Alpha-Rev release.

Just go to Unrevoked.com, download their app and S-OFF+ROOT+Recovery install on your phone. HBOOT 0.80 is rootable, because it's the old version. You don't need Alpharev X.

It will not give S-OFF. Just a Custom Recovery and root. If you want S-OFF, you will have to go for AlphaRev X.

try that it works for me...just select the applicable RUU to your region then your S-OFF!!!
I got HBOOT 1.02 after running RUU but when I run alpharevx it still got s-off.
Don't forget to install and uninstall HTC Sync so you won't encounter driver issues.
Then when your already s-off follow the instructions on the link below then that's it you got full control!!!

Downgrade Hboot 6.93.0002 to 0.93.0001?

I had 2.3.3 oficial update. I used revolutionary to s-off (with the oficial update i had 1.02.0001 hboot and after s-off i had 6.93.0002 hboot). After s-off i ran the shipped RUU and i am still s-off and 6.93.0002 hboot.
Is there a way to get back to 0.93.0001?

But how do I flash the downgrader??. If I double click on the downgrader it asks me what I want to use to burn the file?.
I am trying to get my wifes desire to have a custom rom as it keeps saying she is low on memory. I have used revolutionary to change from hboot 1.02 to 6.93 with s off but now do not have a clue what to do. I have been trying to read up on what to do all day but everything speaks as though I should know exactly what to do from the off!.
Give me my HD2 any day!!! lol

Download the img, rename it to PB99IMG.img and place it on the root of your sdcard. Then boot into hboot (while the phone is off, press volume down + power button), click vol up button to apply update and again to reboot. Now its flashed. Then you can continue with the RUU.

Why do you want to do that?
There is a downgrader.img on the alpharev website which if you fastboot flash it to replace the existing hboot, will then allow you to use a RUU. Choose a RUU that has the hboot you want and run it. Of course this will unroot your phone. What is your actual aim here?
Downgrade from HBOOT 6.93.0002 to 0.93.0001
Guys, if you ORIGINALLY had 0.93.00001 and ran the Revolutionary S-OFF program, it WILL update your HBOOT to 6.93.0002. This is a GOOD thing, you'll still be S-OFF'd but you'll be running the Gingerbread HBOOT version. It's always better to have the newer version of the HBOOT than the older version. As long as you're S-OFF'd, it really doesn't matter which HBOOT version you have, I just recommend the newer version. Thanks!

For your information, GB Hboot is 1.02.0001 not 6.93.0002. 6.93.0002 is revolutionary hboot and if htc sees that highly likely they will not place it under warranty.

Hi everyone I needed to dowgrade because I wanted to use Alex-V's new 1.7.5 HD rom wich requires custom hboot but apparently the revolutionary one is newer hence the need of dowgrade but it was all a bit confusing for me aswell (no ofence and big thanks to all of you that are trying very hard to make it as simple as possible for us) so at the end just before I give up I put the downgrade img from AlphaRev's site in android flasher and it was all done in 1.6sec
I hope that helps

better stick to 0.98, at least for now
I never heard 0.98 for the desire gsm..maybe you mean 0.93

I S-off'd with revolutionary and now my HBOOT states 6.93.1002...
Well since the s-off process involves installing a modified hboot, you would just be back to the modified hboot if you update and s-off, and no you would not gain anything from that procedure.

Can you explain please?
Alpharev have added a check that disallow downgrading of the hboot in order for you to be able to install a ruu and still be s-off(but otherwise completely stock).
In order to make sure that the ruu does not downgrade the bootloader, the alpharev ones check the versions against each other, and to make sure alpharev is always higher than htc, they have chosen a very high version number(6.93.0001).
If you want the stock hboot back you can install a special alpharev(6.93.0001) without this downgrade protection and afterwards flash the ruu

[Q] update HBOOT from 0.75 to 0.93

Hi guys,
I have a Desire with HBOOT 0.75 and CM7 but want to use the Revolutionary tool to get S-OFF now. So I need to upgrade my HBOOT to 0.93.0001...
I tried to install:

because I read it contains HBOOT 0.93, is that right? But I got Error 131, that means I have to use a goldcard, right? Is there another way to upgrade to HBOOT 0.93?
