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?

HTC Desire Error while updating RUU

I have a HTC Desire Bravo GSM.
Radio: 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
ROM: MIUI
Bootloader: 0.93.0001
Carrier: Vodaphone UK
I am trying to install this RUU: RUU_Bravo_Vodafone_UK_1.19.161.5_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126338_signed
While installing the ROM it gives an error relating to the the bootloader version. Do I need another RUU, if so which one? This is the only Vodaphone UK RUU I can find. If not do I need to upgrade Bootloader or downgrade it. (How?)
HELP!

First, tell us which type of hboot you are using (cm7r2, stock...).

Bootloaders cannot be downgraded.
Are you using one of alpharev's r2 hboots (cm7 or oxygen)? If yes, you have to flash bravo downgrade first, because these both new hboots are locked. This means they cannot be overwritten. After you have flashed bravo downgrade, try to flash ruu again.

How do I check which bootloader I have? and what do you mean by Bravo downgrade?
All I can see in fastboot is "hboot 0.93.0001" It doesnt say wether its Alpharev or stock?

Boot into bootloader and check first line. What's written there?
I mean if you have one of my named bootloaders, you have to download bravo_downgrade.img from here:
http://alpharev.nl
After flashing this via fastboot you should be able to flash ruu successfully.

What do you mean by flashing through fasboot. I know how to apply .zip updates from recovery but how do you do it through fastboot? Does it need to be connected to a PC, any pre requisites for this method? I can see their are steps mentioned on the link you posted but I don't understand step 3. If you can clarify I will be very thankful.
When I boot into hbbot and there are options like "fastboot" and recovery etc. On the first line it says HTC Bravo PVT1 SHIP S-ON ?

Forget the thing with fastboot. You are still s-on, so you cannot use it and so there is no need to explain this.

Ohh I sort of get it now. The custom bootloader thingy can only be installed with S-OFF and I can only downgrade the bootloader with S-off which I don't have. So now I trying the RUU you mentioned. There are there vodaphone RUU's on the site. After trying all three, if they don't work, I have to S-off the device THEN run the Bravo downgrader and then flash any one of the three RUU's again, right?
Thanks for all the help man

Not so fast. Try to flash the latest ruu I posted. If this doesn't work, we will see further.

hey thanks, it worked. Can you please explain why the RUU you posted worked and mine didnt? What do the numbers in the RUU signify? I know of those numbers is the radio version. What about the rest?
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_Vodafone_UK_2.33.161.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_157522_signed
Bravo_Froyo_Vodafone refers to the software and carrier.
2.33.161.2 < What does this refer to?
32.49.00.32U < This is the radio obviously. Does it have to be match the radio on my device or not? (It does match by the way)
5.11.05.27 < What does this refer to?
thanks for all the help man. Could you kindly explain two more things?
1) What are the benefits of S-off?
2) whats the point of custom bootloaders like Alpharev?
3) When I root a device, I can obviously install cracked APKs from other websites. What other advantages does rooting offer?
Thanks again.

Mine worked because you wanted to flash an ruu which was too old for your phone.
The number "2.33.161.2" is referred to the software number of android or rather in this case of the android software number with vodafone branding.
32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27 is the radio.
1) You can use fastboot, flash different partition layouts or you can delete apps from /system/app while phone is running.
2) More space for your desire.
3) You can install custom roms, backup your apps and system with e.g. titanium backup or you can "take a picture" of your current system configuration with nandroid backup.
For more information, just use the search.
And do not forget to hit the thanks button.

Thanks. You are AWESOME.
Edit:
I forgot. I dropped my Desire a few weeks ago and the screen got cracked. I got the front glass replaced but now the proximity sensor stays ON all the time. SO when I make a call, the screen goes black and the ONLY way of getting the cell back in is removing the battery. I'll get the cell phone repaired in a week or two. Till then is there any app or any way I can disable the proximity sensor? I was using an MIUI rom before I flashed the RUU and it had an option under "Call settings" to turn off proximity sensor so I'm sure it can be done. Is there any other way to do this without having to go back to MIUI? :|

[Q] Virtuous Unity Sense 3.0 and DZ problem

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

[Q] Revolutionary hboot - need to return to stock

I've done a lot of reading and see where Alpharev has a hboot downgrader but does this work with CDMA version BravoC?
I rooted using Revolutionary after having hboot 1.06 for a USCC Desire. Phone is out of standard warranty but I need to send phone in for repair under extended warranty. When I flash 2.2 RUU it cannot roll back hboot version.
Thanks!

I still haven't found anything. Thanks for the help.

what was your original Hboot number?
see alpharev page, if your model is supported try this -
flash HBOOT bravo_downgrader and right after that run appropriate RUU wich contains default hboot to protect extended warranty
as a result of this process you become S-ON again with stock Hboot
i think this may work even for CDMA version but i am not 100% sure
google it and you will find the answer

Here is about GSM Desire...
Actually I just use revolutionary to s-off my phone and it work. I test several new ROMs right now, then I try to flash stock ROM back when found this thread. I can flash the RUU HTC Froyo successfully. but...
the hboot is not overwritten. it still revolutionary. I am very sure the stock ROM I use contain hboot. because I can see it upgrade my hboot from 0.8.000 to 0.93.0001 during I flash this ROM before I s-off it yesterday.
revolutionary claim that we can get the original hboot if we flash stock ROM that contain hboot but it not working for me. maybe you need to tell them about this.

[8]STILL S-OFF AFTER RUU
"I want to return my phone for warranty, I used a RUU but I'm still S-OFF"
Cause:
- Alpharev's Hboots are write protected, so that they can not be overwritten by a RUU
HOW TO S-ON
METHOD 1#
[STEP1]- Visit Alpharev and download the "Downgrader"
[STEP2]- Flash the downgrader over fastboot. This can be done with Android Flasher, cmd, or fastboot commander (Note: android flasher is the only program that does not require third party software such as Android SDK or Java JDK)
[STEP3]- You should now notice the title on the bootloader screen is "Alpharev Unlock", run the RUU again and you will have S-ON'd your device.
#METHOD 2#
[STEP1]- Instead of running the RUU again, and putting your phone at risk once more, you can simply upgrade just the bootloader manually, with the PB99IMG.zip method.
[PHASE1]- we need to extract rom.zip from the RUU.
[P1/STEP1]- Run the RUU (BUT DO NOT PLUG IN YOUR PHONE OR CONTINUE), move it to the side as it cannot be minimised.
[P1/STEP2]- go to start menu, and use the "run" feature. Type in %temp%
[P1/STEP3]- select "date modified" to "today" (to make it easier to find). There are should now be 2 folders with long names of random characters.
[P1/STEP4]- search the folders for rom.zip and extract it to the desktop.
[P1/STEP5]- delete everything EXCEPT "hboot_8x50_0.93.0001_20100810.nb0" and "android-info.txt"
[P1/STEP6]- rename the zip to PB99IMG.zip (make sure it is not PB99IMG.zip.zip)
[PHASE2]- now we need to update the bootloader
[P2/STEP1]- put the file in the ROOT of your sd-card (not in any file or folder) and boot into bootloader (poweroff, hold VOLUME DOWN and POWER). After a few seconds, you will be prompted to update bootloader. Select Yes. DO NOT INTERRUPT THE PROCESS, OR YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE.
[P2/STEP2]- Once the process is finished, you will now be S-ON.

Branded no system and S-ON

Hi,
i just bought htc desire branded by Orange, i dont know wheres is phone from.
I unrooted it by flashing RUU ROM from shipedroms by PB99IMG.zip. Everything was ok but system failed (fail-pu). I tryed it again and it wroted "invalid cid".
Now i have phone with defaul bootloader (S-ON) and without any ROM and i dont know how to get some into it. ADB dont see any device and i have only access throught fastboot.
Do you have any idea how to fix it?
I would realy appreciate it.

Post your HBoot information if you want some help.
Also check bortak's awesome and often overlooked troubleshooting guide stickied on this section for some self help.

make goldcard

PVT4
S-ON

Hi, I helping dziosh with this. I try update and RUU_HTC...exe end with force close. But I dont know how i go to download mod(I think) where adb now see the device but offline. Restart server not working and on display is phone with exclamation point in triangle. I repeat, we dont have functional ROM, recovery, and S-OFF.
Any idea ?
PS sorry for my english.
Thx for reply.

Download mode- do you mean hboot or fastboot? Start the phone with power and vol - held down - for hboot for fastboot power and back button... Without goldcard you can't flash WWE RUU, try to find Froyo for Orange or risk it with 2.3.3 from HTC dev... Single exclamation mark means stock recovery... Exclamation mark in each corner means sort of fastboot

Sorry this not be download mod. And we can't flash any rom by PB99IMG.zip way(S-ON, Brand and dont have goldcard). Can we do this over the fastboot SDK or somethink else ?
BTW Can we get CID SD card without functional ROM ? Example From other desire with same SD card?

any android phone can read cid of the card and create gold card

I got back my warranty repaired Desire the other day with this configuration. Unrevoked doesn't work, I can only assume because of the PVT4, I already had a gold card which had helped root several phones but this didn't help.
In the end the only resort was to S-off using revolutionary.io, no gold card required.
Once you are s-offed (and the process can add a recovery) you can boot into recovery and flash a downloaded rom.

Ok we have gold card but all tutorials for s-off need functional rom
Any idea?

i could not root it by revolutionary because i dont have system. I have only access to bootloader with s-on, i need some procedure to root it without system.
could anynone help ?

As you have goldcard install WWE RUU, then go for s off

S-off does not require a functional rom. Simply go to revoltionary.io and download their beta tool and get a key to use it.
Whatever you've been reading about instructions requiring a rom is incorrect.
