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.

I did it by flashing RUU with Froyo (this update HBOOT) and next, I used alpharevx.
Thanks a lot
I'll download the froyo RUU and then write my result here.

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!!!

i tried almost all RUUs..dosent work...i get error 171 cn u pls tell me wht is wrong?
im on hboot .80 nd wnt to upgrade
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.

phone was not branded, so i need to stick with the WWE versions.

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,

Desire People,
Im trying to unroot my phone now im stuck in hboot (altough it is an original hboot and its s-on again) but when it updates from the hboot it gives the message:
"Main version is older"
What should i do to fix it?
Much thanks
GR Kay
The language here on XDA is english. So please use it.
How did you try to unroot your desire?
I think the steps you have to do for unrooting are:
-Flash the Bravo Downgrader as described here: alpharev.nl
-Flash a RUU that fits for you from here: shipped-roms.com (you need a windows-pc to do so)
Hope this helps, greets

He is S-on, so cannot flash the downgrader.
OP, What RUU are you using? What Hboot version?
You cannot flash older Hboots, you must flash same or newer so RUU must contain newer HBOOT than you have.
Please provide full details of your device.
hey i have s-off and have tried the pinned thread by
-S-OFF
[STEP1]- download "Bravo Stock" from Alpharev
[STEP2]- download Android Flasher
[STEP3]- use android flasher to flash "Bravo Stock"
[STEP4]- run the RUU again and wait for it to finish
also please take a look here as i cant seem to make sense of where he got a "safe backup"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1235700
i tried that and got error 110, i have tried with multiple RUU's
After i have flashed bravo stock i still get the boot menu with
----Alpharev ---
blah blah s-off
blah blah
RUU
am i missing hboot and fastboot still?
can somebody please point me in the direction of a safe RUU and please explain how to validate that the RUU is downloaded correctly?
thanks in advance
tried with alpha rev downgrade and now get error (140)
now its s-on
do i have to make a goldcard?
after flashing downgrade reboot phone to fastboot again and then run ruu(correct for your phone) or use WWE ruu with goldcard, more info can be found in bortak's guide
fastboot flash hboot downgrade.img
downgrade.img - replace with your file name
I cant get into fastboot only a blackscreen with HTC logo or if i unplug the usb i get
bravo pvt4 ship s-on
blah blah
blah
RUU
i get ERROR (140) BOOTLoader version error when i try to flash an RUU
I have already flashed downgrade.img
please help. I cant afford another phone
screen with triangles is sort of fastboot... fastboot commands work there but you are s-on, that will not help us...
what hboot you have? what ruu are you using?
last hboot i had was the cm7r2 flashed as a .zip through cwm now that it is s-on i have no hboot apparently?
i am using this
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...3.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed.exe
i am getting error 140 bootloader version error, how do i change my bootloader or flash a new one? i tried the hboot downgrader from the alpharev website but it just gave me s-off after i tried to flash the ruu
ok you have 0.93 so flash 2.29 wwe ruu from shipped roms, hopefully that will work
it already said i have 2.29.405.5
but it worked....
i now have a boot loader and cwm
by the way i love you thank you for all your time it means so much to me , people like you make me see the good in the internet, even though we often ask stupid questions
thanks
Hello,
because of Warranty issues i need to install the genuine Vodafone RUU on my Desire, at the moment my Desire(Amoled) is S-Off and the Alpharev Hboot Version 0.93.0001 is installed (Stock Paritition Layout), the question is is a downgrade necessary before i install the Vodafone RUU??
Greetz Neewes
Yes, just flash the Alpharev Downgrader, then run the RUU.
