[Q] WIch RUU is the right for updating hboot?

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.

Okay thanks for clearing that up. I wasn't aware of that.

[Q] Use Revolutionary over Alpharev X'ed Wildfire

Hi,
I have used Alpharev X on my HTC Wildfire but is it possible to use revolutionary ver Alpharev'ed phonet because I want to try revolutionary and I don't want to brick my phone?
Someone please help me.

But why? There's no difference, with the exception that Revolutionary allows to to flash a Custom Recovery in 1 go after S-OFF, while in AlphaRev X, you had to get it separately.

Yes I can tell you that there is no difference. I have done that because I thought that it will fix alpharev's problems with htc sense roms. But it didn't.

I just wanted to test Revolutionary on an Alpharev'ed HTC Wildfire.

Stock hboot ---> alpharev hboot ---> revert back to stock hboot ---> revolutionary. This makes no difference.
Stock hboot ---> alpharev hboot ---> revolutionary hboot. Here the 2nd process (revolutionary) mostly shouldn't succeed AFAIK. Because the exploit is for the stock hboot 1.01.0001. (corrections welcome)

if it doesnt work try revolutionary

..and for alpharev, you must have a rooted stock froyo 2.2, so if you flashed a non stock rom, it probably wont work.

you don't actually need to be rooted, I've done the process (more than once) straight after using a RUU (and reverting to S-ON), as revo gains temproot and then is able to S-OFF

In fact, I start from the latest Leedroid HD.
I've redo the S-OFF with the Revolutionary beta app for windows and working very well.

[q] HBOOT .98 s-OFF???

I looked for hours and tried many different things...
My friend has the HTC Desire, CDMA version (cspire/cellsouth version, but i think its the same hardware as the US Cellular device) with h-boot .98
i was trying to gain s-OFF but all methods were either for .93 or 1.06 and i dont know how to get there. do i need to flash new firmware before i can do ROMs?
he is fully rooted, but only on android 2.1 and he wants gingerbread sense...
any help would be much appreciated!
PLEASE

Revolutionary.io supports the HBOOT 1.06 for cdma, but it should the 0.98 as well.
If not, flash the latest firmware, then do the revolutionary procedure .

or you can just use unrevoked, it roots and S-OFF's the CDMA Desire.

if you have rooted using alpharev, then you need to downgrade the hboot using hboot downgrader from alpharev.nl, then run the respective RUU.

I could use some help with a similar issue, too!
Had everything fine, S-OFF, rooted, Cm7
Mistakenly formated my /system in clockwork recovery
Now I have .98 HBOOT but w/ S-OFF
can install ROMS and boot CM7
I have superuser installed
but no root!
What can I do to gain root back?
