the problem is, all the files are for 0004 hardware so it would screw up your 0003. better just sit tight until they release the 0003 ruu cracked, patched, and engineering files. once again, open to help people.

Thank you i can wait i tell you running stock isnt bad my battery life is crazy long...

Just as a last check, you might want to search the threads to see if any of the methods work for 0003. I might recommend just waiting though because the other methods seem a little shotty. The one I linked makes perfect sense and sounds foolproof. I doubt htc could have thought out that loophole.

Yeah cool thanks for your help

What is the manufacture date of your phone did it come with 3.30?

Send link please?

I have hardware 0003, and the method you linked got me rooted. Took a couple attempts on a few of the steps, but end result is s-off, amon-ra recovery, still using hboot 2.02 however. I didn't see the need of downgrading hboot. Be careful when flashing roms though, as only htc kernels will allow the camera to work at the moment. (to the best of my knowledge). I'm more than happy to help, too, if you have any other questions.
Feel free to gtalk me or email me. [email protected]

the point of downgrading is to allow unsigned pc36img.zips, and to have fastboot commands. these can be used for major developing, or simply changing your splash screen. not much of a purpose, but a purpose.

edit
I realized you meant changing splash through adb, my fault. Good point about the fastboot, though. I haven't tried the .zips either. I may downgrade yet.

Be careful when downgrading. You could be bricked. I would recommend not downgrading until you do something that requires it. How do you flash splash screens without adb?

Flashable zips through recovery. Shift has a thread around here somewhere I got the one I'm using atm.

I didn't know that was possible. Well it makes sense because wimax, radio, pri, nv, and boot .img are all installable with some tricky coding through recovery. Why not the splash1 partition too...

Hboot questions

So it seems as there is still some uncertainty in terms of updating to new hboot. Read some people lost root by doing so and read some were successful possibly due to having unrevoked forever installed. I updated to latest radio, wimax and nv already. Has anybody been able to downgrade the radio? I ask as it seems if downgrading is possible than unrevoked could be installed and then the hboot could be updated without losing root s-off. I appreciate any information and all your help.

Why would you want to upgrade the hboot?

Was reading a few threads that suggest we should. I believe calkulin posted saying that he would update the hboot if it weren't for the fact that he uses fastboot commands during his development. Page 110 of his thread.

From what I've seen the new hBoots are all backward compatible, and as long as you have already ran Unrevoked Forever you *should* keep S-OFF, but the new hBoot has been particularly stubborn when it comes to abiding by the S-OFF. The extended commands on the eng-hBoot may not be very useful to most people but they can be very handy if something goes wrong and you manage to fubar your phone. So as long as you retain S-OFF or a custom recovery you should be ok using the 2.02 hBoot but I would wait awhile to find out more about ver 2.10. Especially if you plan on upgrading your radio.

I have already upgraded radio, wimax and nv and I don't have unrevoked forever installed . My hboot is the original with fastboot commands.

I have 0.79, and as long as everything else is working, I don't see why it should be necessary to upgrade. And now that I've already updated all my radio's with the latest combo pack, I'm apprehensive about doing it anyway.

Same here except I think I'm at even a lower version... 0.76
What would the point be to upgrading hboot to 2.02? It's one thing I don't really understand all that well.
Anyone care to explain?

[Q] Question about HBOOT woes.

So, I have seen a lot of people have issues with HBOOT or suspected HBOOT conflicts in here. I have the ENG HBOOT .76 and have not had any reason to suspect it as a problem with any of the ROMS that I have tried. But I am wondering... is it not possible to go back to the .76 HBOOT once you have gone up to the 2.10? And if it IS possible to go back, why isn't everyone doing it?

.76 is an older one thus easier to work with. The newer ones 2.02 and 2.10 more partitions around, so it makes it a tad harder for recovery devs. Yeah you can downgrade your hboot but possibly too many possible things can go wrong. I mean maybe earlier as the newr hboots came out, a downgrade might be smart. But pretty much everything is worked out now.

Imo .76 hboot is the best..don't upgrade the hboot unless u have too.

[Q] Need some help rooting and such

Hello all im hoping i dont get ridiculed for asking this but i need help rooting and and installing a custom recovery on my dads dinc. i I have a fair bit of knowlege with some of this but it appears to be nothing like rooting my little optimus v. i have found many guilds but they all seem to be from 2010. i know htc has a program for unlocking the bootloader but his hboot doesnt seem to be listed as a supported device. all he wants is a nice stable rom that will do away with the headaches of the stock sense rom (like the constant low memory warning). i can do all of this for him, im just a little confused as the best way of doing it. ive never had to deal with an htc before, im not even sure what the s-off is even for, so any help with this would be greatly appreciated

What hboot, radio, and android version is the phone currently on?
As for unlocking with htcdev, it makes you do an ruu which updates the hboot to a unlockable version.
S-off means security off and it allows you to flash unsigned images thru hboot such as new radios and splash screens.

The Android version is 2.3.4, and I can't remember how to get to the hboot to get that version number, I don't know were the radio version is

You can get both the radio (baseband), and hboot versions by booting to hboot. Power off the phone, pull the battery and reinsert, and then hold vol down and power till a white screen appears (hboot). It will tell you both versions in the top left corner.

Hboot is 0.92.0000
Radio is 2.15.10.07.07

So after reading that, am I right by thinking that I don't actually need to get s-off if I'm just going flash a new ROM

Correct you can root and flash roms without being s-off. However s-off has some great advantages, like being able to flash radios, splash screens, and allows you to edit system files, along with some other stuff. S-off also makes it much easier to reroot should you somehow loose root in the future.

Hi highly recommend going S-OFF. As daunting as it may seem, it's really not that hard, and you won't regret it. Nothing really worked right for me S-ON, so just having S-ON alone might give you headaches.

yup if u already through the trouble to get root then why dont get s-off too, its really worth the time and trouble getting both root and s-off.

Worth upgrading HBOOT and Radio?

First of all, please accept my apologies if this has been in some way answered before. I did a search as far back as early 2011 but could not find a satisfactory response hence my posting here.
I have a PVT1 Desire with HBOOT 0.80.0000, 5.14.05.17 Radio and S-ON. The phone is rooted with Amon-RA recovery and currently happily running JB. All is working well and I am conscious of the fact that should I decide to update the HBOOT and Radio to the latest version, I would have to start from scratch in terms of rooting etc. but as the phone is currently working just fine, I would appreciate people's opinion if there are any real benefits in upgrading.
Many thanks in advance.

I really don't know or understand what you're waiting for. Why not s-off? It's so simple using revolutionary.
If you have a s-off, "rooting" is just flashing superuser from recovery. Not a complicated process at all.

Just to clarify, I have no issues with upgrading and then rooting from scratch but, as my understanding is, that would involve going back to the official GB rom (to upgrade the HBOOT) and then doing all else, I was just wondering if it worth the hassle i.e. whether upgrading HBOOT and the Radio files brings any tangible benefits.
Many thanks for your responses.

alot of roms these days do recommend the latest radio and the advantage of s-off is that u can change hboots for more space. if u click the all things root guide in my sig i think ul get pretty much all the info u need there.

Many thanks for all the suggestions.
I have now updated to the latest Radio but still not sure about HBOOT and S-OFF. Since I am using JB which requires stock HBOOT, there is little advantage to S-OFF for me? Also, is there a quick way to upgrade just the HBOOT without having to install the offiicial HTC GB rom?

i wouldnt recommend upgrading RADIO ! had so many issues with different roms the last year after upgrading to the latest radio. Now I am back to the latest official radio that was delivered in Europe (5.11.05.27) and having no issues since then with ICS or any other roms.
I have the impression that some issues revolve from the newer 5.17.xx.xx radios being incompatible with some roms.

Why just not to install latest RUU - it automatically flashes new HBOOT and Radio.
About efforts - it's just allows to use modern ROMs.
May be a little improves quality, stability and battery time.
PS I haven't any issues with 5.17.05.27 radio
