I'm using oxygen 2.1.6 with hboot oxygen r2, s-off & rooted.
If i want to flash back to original rom with boot sound enabled, what should i do first?
Because i'm planning to sell my desire.
Could someone give me to original rom link & suggest one?
I see there are many versions. Thanks. Good day.
Is your phone a branded one?
If not, use the latest WWE RUU from fastboot.
Get it here.
Also, because you are using the never alpharev HBOOTs, you need to download their DOWNGRADER first from alpharev.nl
This file: Bravo Downgrader
So Step 1 : Flash Downgrader
Step 2: Flash RUU from fastboot.

Thanks for your reply. My phone is unbranded.
Any command to flash the RUU from fastboot? Coz' i never done before
After flashed this RUU, does the phone become S-ON & Unrooted?
I'm planning to flash hboot bravo stock 250|40|147 and flash Froyo Rom which quite similar to stock one. Leave it rooted & s-off. Any idea which ROM? Thanks.
Nothing. Download the .exe file then boot your phone into fastboot, plug USB and run the RUU from your PC.
It is recommended to flash the DOWNGRADER, not the alpharev stock, because there is a possibility, you will still have S-OFF if you don't flash the downgrader.
So, if you want it unrooted and S-ON: then the Downgrader from alpharev must be flashed.
Well if you want to leave it S-OFF & Rooted - then I'd suggest:
Leedroid 2.5.
Alternatively : Rooted Stock
again, thanks +1
I did run RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed RUU. (unbranded desire)
Looks like everything worked fine, i had no errors whatsoever, system is booting fine but:
1. i'm still S-OFF
2. my hboot is 6.93.1002 (i was cm7r2, but i did run downgrader and flashed stock hboot)
3. radio is 5.11.05.27 (it keeps scanning when i turn it on, and i cannot connect to WIFI at all, it see my channel and others but just wont connect)
What's wrong?
Edit:
I fixed WIFI issue, point 1 & 2 are still to fix any ideas?
Edit2:
After flashing downgrade.img again the hboot is 6.93.9999 now.
you seemed to do everything correctly, okay, flash the stock bravo HBOOT from alpharev, then flash the downgrade utility. Extract rom.zip (you know how to do that right) from the RUU, and then extract the HBoot.nb0 file (from rom.zip).
Once you've got that, put it in a zip with the android-info.txt file and name the .zip file PB99IMG.zip... this is EXACTLY what I did and it gave me the stock S-ON Hboot Then obviously put it in root of sd
Try that, hope it helps
EDIT: sorry I dunno why I gave you that info.txt when it's in rom.zip as well :s and just remembered it won't work for you since it for Vodafone :L ahh I'm an idiot sometimes
You need to flash downgrade HBOOT in order to go S-ON.
I did even twice, prior to flashing stock hboot and also after RUU did it job, went back to see if i'm still s-off. Was still s-off so i flashed downgrade.img again but still s-off and alpharev hboot (6.93.9999)
I will try what bortak suggested though.
yeah when you flash the downgrader it wiull say "Alpharev Unlock", and HBoot version is 6.93.9999
Try the method I told you about, worked for me.
okay I just realised what you did wrong.. you said you flashed the downgrader BEFORE you flashed bravo_stock, which means you still had a normal alpharev Hboot which could not be overwritten. You need to flash the downgrader THEN run the RUU, without any other steps in between. (or again, you could just flash the stock HBoot.nb0 that you can find in rom.zip with the android-info.txt in a PB99IMG.zip)
I had to flash downgrader first because i had CM7r2 hboot originally, and i wouldnt be able to flash stock without downgrading hbooot i think.
Nope, you can flash alpharev Hboots over each other no problem. Only need to flash the downgrader when you want to use the RUU to get S-ON
Did you try my method? did it work? are you S-ON now?
sorry to bump this thread after it's been dead for so long..I have a HTC Desire that I've just unrooted to o2_uk 2.14. I used FastbootCommander v 1.1 to flash HBOOT_Downgrade then I ran the o2_uk ruu but I'm still with AlphaRev Unlock 6.93.9999 s-off HBOOT on PVT1. I tried Bortak's method of downgrading the hboot, I took the rom.zip from the ruu gingerbread 2.3 found in my temp folder, copied it to the desktop then deleted all files other than android-info.txt and copied hboot_8x50_1.02.0001_SF.nb0 to it then copied it to the root of my sdcard as pb99img.zip rebooted but recovery wouldn't flash it....can someone help me please? Even a way of flashing *.nb0 file to the phone.

PB99IMG.zip files are not flashed with recovery, they are flashed using the bootloader. Load into the bootloader (vol down+power) wait for it to search and find the PB99IMG.zip file, press vol up when they say: 'apply update? Vol up to confirm, vol down to cancel' and then press the power button to confirm it.

in the bootloader..that's what I meant, it never asked me if I wanted to apply the update, it just did it's check og pb99diag, pb99img etc but didnt recognise the pb99img as an update file. but nevermind, i've solved it using fastbootcommander v1.5.1..i flashed pb99img_bravo_stock then pb99img_downgrade then the 2.14 o2_uk ruu and i now have back 0.93.0001 happy days!!
I'm also trying to S-On my desire through this method but after flashing downgrade zip from alpharev, my RUU gives hboot version error.. Please help..
same here.... flashed bravo_downgrade to get Alpharev Unlock and hboot version 6.93.9999 ...
this is what I see

RUU
guys, found this thread on my mission to restore ruu, s-on and unroot my device.
guess why? because i'm also s-off after the whole procedure.
i was running CM7r2 with Hboot 6.93.1002 before and then flashed alpharev stock hboot, then alpharev bravo downgrader. i installed the ruu and everything works out fine. i just always stay with s-off, no matter what i try.
tried bortak's solution from this thread too. didn't help.
now that i can't send fastboot commands and have no recovery either i have to keep flashing things via PB99IMG.zip method. i try the downgrader from alpharev and it says "alpharev unlocked". i then install another ruu but afterwards it will stick with s-off.
please help!
thx,
v.

Hence why I said to try the 2.3 RUU, because it's different from the 2.2 ones...
BTW that RUU is the last thing your phone will ever see if it goes wrong, so do it at own risk.
hehe, first you only had "3" written there, so i thought you meant the network provider "3".
ok, so a 2.3 ruu. sure i'll try one, do you have a link?
and why would it be the last one? could i not go back to a 2.2 ruu afterwards?

there is only one. There is a link on my guide.
If the process goes okay, then yes you may, however you need to S-OFF first, then flash the alpharev downgrader, then the 2.2 RUU.
hey bartok,
flashing 2.3 also didn't get rid of my s-off.
how come i can't get s-on? what could be the problem with my phone?
my warranty ends in 2 days and i would really like to send it in for repair. what's causing all the trouble here? everyone just seems to flash the downgrader and then install the ruu. but i'm always stuck with s-off.
please help,
thx,

Flashed the stock hboot on the alpharev site.
Wanted to flash a data++ rom so downloaded the oxygen hboot, md5-ed compared, and flashed.
Appararently from what my bootloader says my hboot cannot be downgraded now.
So my question:
In order to flash the oxygen hboot, do I need to flash the bravo downgrader available on the alpharev site prior to flashing the oxygen hboot?
Many thanks in advance.
Well I Changed mine from Cm7r2 to Oxygenr2 without the downgrader a few weeks back.
But i'd give a try flashing the downgrader first, then the oxygen Hboot.
If you want to flash the older oxygen HBOOT (not the current on Alpharev's site - that's Oxygen_r2) then you definitely need the downgrader.
i dont know how you exactly flash it, i personaly reccomend android flasher 1.8
you need to enter fastboot and start AF program, then you choose to flash hboot and thats it,
you dont need to flash downgrader in case you wanna change your current hboot
downgrader need to be flashed when you want to return S.ON before executing official RUU for example froyo RUU 2.29.405
I thought the easiest way how to flash hboot is via adb. I did it many times without any problem
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
yeah, 100 people 100 solutions
for me the best and easiest way is via android flasher, never try via adb so i cannot compare
Yea I used ADB to flash. and it shows on the command prompt that "UPDATE BYPASSED" and the bootloader that the hboot cannot be downgraded. and hence the question.
Thanks for the feedback everyone =) Would try the downgrader method a day or what from now and post the results back.

Personally I use fastboot to flash everything.. that's how I learnt and that's the way I'll stick too
you can use either command prompt or fastboot commander (I'd recommend, lots of good features and has never failed) or android flasher (never used before but hear good things)
Here's what I did:
1)fastboot flashed downgrader hboot
2)reboot bootloader
3)sucessful flashed oxygen r1 hboot without update bypassed showing
4)profiting from data++ now =)
thanks all for the feedback again. really appreciate it. =)
problem solved.
hi
i have installed a Original WWE RUU for my desire which was factory unlocked(sim free)
i was s-off using alpharev cm7r2 hboot image and i changed it to stock apharev, the alpharev splash screen is gone as well as the CWM recovery image but how do i get rid of the hboot?
it is still showing Alpharev at the top as well as a different hboot id which starts from 6......?
this is the RUU i used: RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed
Thanks in advance
You need to get the downgrader from alpharev then run the ruu again. With the newer hboots you can't change the hboots no matter what you do.
Punched in..
Hello! I have the strangest problem, and wondered if someone could help.
I received a present from a friend, a second-hand HTC Desire GSM, but it didn't have stock Android and was running on a custom ROM installed on the SDCard. I wanted to install CyanogenMod on the phone itself (not the SD Card) and tried to with the phone by reading up details online. This is my first time with an Android phone, and I'm not sure what I did, but now I'm unable to boot into Hboot recovery.
I think the problem began when I installed the file "RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.3_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121865" from a certain website, and ever since I can't seem to flash the phone with another RUU. Can someone please help me make the phone usable again? I'll post the details below based on what I could find as of recent:
AlphaRev Oxygen r2
Bravo PVT1 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.93.1882
M1CROP-831D
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.11.05.27
You are SOFF.
Follow these steps in sequence
1. Get the stock hboot from alpharev.nl and flash it from fastboot
2. Get the 2.3 RUU from htcdev and run it from PC with phone connected with USB
3. Flash the 4ext recovery from fastboot.
4. Flash any custom rooted rom from recovery

Please stop telling people to flash stock hboot over every other custom hboot, cause most of the time thet will succed but eventualy someone will end up with hboot brick. It is recommended to flash downgrade hboot prior flashing any other.
In his case he doesn't need to run RUU, he is s-off so all he needs is a different hboot (oxygen has a lack of space on system partition), 4ext img from Jmcclue's thread that can both be flashed via fastboot and then a personal choice of rom.

I dont recall telling people to flash stock hboot before this. I had noticed that he has got a oxygen r2 hboot. It is perfectly safe to flash the alpharev stock hboot over this. I would only use the downgrader to remove write protection from my hboot so that when I run the RUU I get SON.
The OP also stated that he is not sure what he has done so I would run the 2.3 RUU just so that he can work from known territory.
hes S-OFF with no recovery and has CM rom on sdcard soo like nloooo says flash recovery and then he can flash the rom on sdcard after a full wipe (if it fits on Oxygen r2 hboot) or change hboots and flash new rom if he wants
