Hi, i downloaded Virtuous 1.27, full wiped and flashed DZ in CWM 3.0.2.4. When i reboot my phone begins boot but restart and boot in Recovery mode. I can setup other ROM. What i did wrong?
it sounds like you have the G2 hboot installed and you need the DZ hboot to use this ROM.
To check which you have boot in to the bootloader and on the top line it will say either
0.76.2000 which is the G2 hboot
or
0.84.2000 which is the DZ hboot
If you have the G2 hboot you will need to follow the instructions here to flash the DZ hboot.
thanks for fast answer, i also thought, but if i have CWM installed i boot in CWM. How i can check which one hboot i have?
Turn your phone completely off then press volume down and power at the same time to boot into the the bootloader.
Or if you have adb installed plug you phone in and type adb reboot bootloader
i have 0.82.0000 hboot
when you rooted did you install the eng hboot?
can you post exactly what it says when you go in to the bootloader.
Vision pvt ship s-off
hboot-0.82.0000
microp-0425
radio-26.06.02.27_M
eMMC-boot
and other menu stuff.
I dowloaded zip file in post that you given. whithin zip file is hboot 0.82.0000
sorry for broken english
I thought that the hboot included in the PC10IMG.zip was 0.84.2000.
But your correct in the zip is the 0.82.0000. I have just asked RMK if this is correct.
might flash anyway? Or what i can do more?
You should be safe to flash. Just follow the instructions carefully
thanks a lot to you cjward23

YOU ARE Doing these well, if you flash ARev.HD later you can go back flashing an stok rom take this link for choose your OFFICIAL RUU...
http://xdafil.es/index.php?path=DesireHD/RUU/
but i think that if you taste a cooked rom you are not going back to RUU OFFICIAL ROM hahahah
CERTAINLY.. have you made HBOOT S OFF ENG-SPL????(its fully reversible flashing an stok rom) and It makes possible to recover the system of a bad flash recovery...
sorry for my bad english
What I think SERGI.3210 is trying to say, is that you need ENG HBoot or ENG S-OFF before you can flash radios.
Here are the threads you should read,
ENG S-OFF
RADIO S-OFF
I did not flash (well, I dont think I did) hboot and i don't now how to do this either the tekst in bootloader says this:
ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-0.85.0007
RADIO-26.03.02.26_M
eMMC-boot
How do I make HBOOT S OFF ENG-SPL and is their a way to check if I already have it?
And what does this do?

uups!!! thanks andyharney! i forgot to put that you need ENG S-OFF to flash radios!!
certainly... take this XDA´S LINK for go back to OFICIAL RUU:
http://xdafil.es/index.php?path=DesireHD/RUU/
Use the ENG S-OFF tool in the first link to get ENG S-OFF. Without this you cannot flash radio.img's via fastboot.
Once you have ENG S-OFF use the other link to get Radio S-OFF. The tools are very easy to use and 99.9999999999999999% safe.
I took another look at the article i used to root and it said this:
you will have permanent root (S-OFF), as well as subsidy unlock and SuperCID. At this point, you can also choose to flash the engineering hboot
If you don't want the engineering hboot, just reboot your phone. You can verify you have permanent root by holding volume down while powering on (you'll see S-OFF in the first line of the bootloader). You are now free to install a new recovery and start flashing custom ROMs. If you don't want to flash a new ROM, it's safe to uninstall the Visionary app at this point.
Does this mean i already have radio S-OFF?
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 ...

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.
Could try the 2.3 RUU...
phone was not branded, so i need to stick with the WWE versions.
right now i just rooted the phone again and will try everything once over.
am i correct if i
1. flash alpharev stoch hboot
2. flash alpharev downgrader
3. install ruu from pc
thx,
v.
---------- Post added at 04:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:28 PM ----------
after 2nd try nothing changed.
i rooted, then flashed the 2 hboots in the exact order, but after ruu i still have s-off.
what's going on?

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,

My desire z is only Ship S-Off. i.e. I only did
"4.b. S-OFF, Super-CID, SIM-unlock, clockwork recovery and root" on Wiki.
I noticed that in the HTC Vision Wiki, ENG S-OFF is recommended over SHIP S-off:
Quoted: "From now on we recommend to install the engineering hboot as part of the gfree procedure."
Are there any reasons behind?
Would it be possible for me to install the engineering hboot after I have done SHIP-OFF using instruction 4.b.?
One more question:
Is ENG S-OFF safer than SHIP S-OFF? I found there is no way to flash Recovery without booting to Android if I am only SHIP S-OFF, both fastboot and HBOOT methods are not working for me. So if Recovery crashed and SHIP S-OFF, is my phone bricked and no way to be rescued?
Thank you.

You do need Engineering Hboot in order to use fastboot to flash your recovery image. And yes, this does allow you another option in the event your phone is unbootable - which I find reassuring. So on the one hand it is a precautionary tool, but it also stops checking if the PC10IMG.zip is for your specific device. So you need to be extra careful when using PC10IMG files.
I flashed ENG Hboot after I had rooted/S-OFF/etcetera... but the root method I used also included a script for ENG Hboot that I was able to follow after the fact. As others have said, I would simply follow the wiki and get yourself set up.
So if I didn't flash any HBOOT, the hboot in my DZ is DZHBOOT, am I correct?
Can I safely flash Virtuous Unity and BeatMod BlissSense?
For the ENG HBOOT in wiki:
HTC Desire Z: vision.hboot-0.84.2000.zip (md5sum 2CE1BDD5E4C1119CCFCECB938710D742)
Is this a DZHBOOT as well?
How to distinguish between a G2HBOOT and DZHOOT?
Sorry for having loads of questions. I did google but couldn't find exactly what I want.

If you boot into bootloader you will see at the top which hboot version you have, and as the wiki says thats the version you want if you want the engineering hboot, the link i sent you explains why, flash it and thats you fully rooted and ready to run unity

Actually I tried looking for the version through booting into bootloader before. I got the version number only.
It says HBOOT 0.85.0005, and I have no idea what it means.
Thats the version number, the engineering hboot is version 0.84.2000 so you need to flash it, then you have the engineering hboot installed

I feel like I ask a lot of these, but for being such a small thing, HBOOT is pretty complex.
So my first question is, in HBOOT, what is the difference between PVT and EVT1? I currently have 2 WFS and both are Marvelc. The HBOOT of the older Marvelc says:
Code:
MARVELC EVT1 SHIP S-ON RL
The other HBOOT says:
Code:
MARVELC PVT SHIP S-ON RL
The HBOOT of the older one is 1.09.0000, the HTCDev HBOOT for unlocking. The HBOOT of the newer phone is 1.10.0001, the bootloader from the newest FOTA update.
Another question I have is can 1.10.0001 be S-OFF'd or am I out of luck with S-OFFing my phone now? I know I can use bltool and superversion and what-not, but I've never had much luck with that.
Hboot questions
Yes, you can S-off Hboot 1.10 but Hboot 1.09 is better in my opinion. When I started flashing Roms with Hboot 1.10 and I would go back to stock my wifi would always show error and no one has figured that out yet. Best way to go back to Hboot 1.09 is to run football's RUU for the Marvelc, once it is running go to the temp folder and copy the ROM.zip wherever you want it. Close everything and then open the ROM.zip and extract the recovery, boot, system to the folder where fastboot is. Make sure you have USB debugging before turning off your phone. Turn off your phone, pull the battery out once it's off and put it back in, hold vol down and power, then highlight fastboot and do the following:
(if you are already rooted make sure you wipe the dalvik-cache before flashing and after flashing a factory reset)
Open Cmd prompt and do the following:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system.img
You will still have S-off and bootloader will be unlocked as well.
Now flash your custom recovery. Hope that helped out.

I used the goldcard method to S-off my 1.10 and have been able to do everything ive wanted with it aslong as it is MarvelC. But i would use TeamWin for recovery i had problems not being able to wipe completely with ClockMod. Good Luck!

Hi again!
I was trying to Root my Desire Z but I made a horrible mistake - flashed Engineering HBoot for T-Mobile G2 instead of one for Desire Z (I guess it makes a difference) and now my phone stucks at boot. I can go into fastboot mode and into recovery. I think I need to flash correct HBoot, but I have no idea how. So, could you give me steps how to make my phone booting again? I hope it is possible.
Edit:
Ahm, I don't know if it's important, but I made a gold card in this phone while I was downgrading software.
You can flash either bootloader but the DZ one is often preferred as it has a larger system partition
can you write down current info from bootloader screen here

all should now be good
then boot to recovery and flash ROM of choice
