[Q] G2 or Z Hboot question - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi everyone, i just wanted to ask how will i know which hboot i'm using on my desire z? becuase my friend rooted it for me, and he didint know if he used the desire z hboot or G2. know i wanted to flash vision rom but i dont know if i have the desire z hboot. please help me

If you have the Desire Z, it came from the factory with the Desire Z HBoot. If your friend doesn't know which one, he probably didn't change it. And there would be no reason to flash the G2 Hboot on a DZ.

becuase he downgraded before rooting, i was thinking maybe somewhere in the process he flashed G2 hboot?

Go into bootloader to see what version of hboot is installed

[Q] Install 1.72 RUU

Hey guys .. I have a question, I'm still on rum 1.32 ... with eng s-off and and CID1111111. I wonder if I install 1.72 RUU rom if I will be able to go back to 1.32 again?
It was this RUU I planned to install: RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.72.405.3_R2_Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_SF_release_163262_signed
Why do you want to update? If you want 1. 72 then just use Leedroid's or Android Revolution. Then flash the right radio to acompaign the rom. Done and you will be in 1,. 72.

[Q] Steps to root ?

1)Can I use Revolutionary.io tool to s-off then run unrevoked normally to root my phone ?
2)And when I change my rom how will i know whether something is meant for the HTC Desire GSM or the HTC Desire CDMA ?
Thanks,
3)BTW what is the latest 'version' of HBOOT and can it be rooted using revolutionary ?
4)What are all the different types of HTC Desires out there as I heard something about the HTC Desire being manufactured different after like 6 months of official release?
I am going to buy a HTC Desire but i am just waiting on these questions to be cleared from my mind =]
1. first run unrevoked than do s-off
2.every rom which is meant to be for CDMA has in name "CDMA"
3. you can see that @ alpharev.nl
4. pvt1 was amoled, and now they manufacture pvt4 which has slcd display
What's better amoled or slcd?
I thought that the alpharev x is the way forward as its easier and if I buy a desire running the latest hboot how can I root ?

Its not that I dont understand. Ive already rooted and customized the HTC Wildfire and the HTC Incredible s (for a friend) successfully but the HTC Desire confuzes me as I think the latest HBOOT cannot be rooted yet (am I right? Ive heard this as a mere rumour). Also Ive heard that using revolutionary io is much simpler as it does not involve any isos and what I am asking now is that if I buy a rootable HTC Desire and I use revolutionary io to s-off, can I get the pci49.img (or something that has a file name like that) to flash my recovery via hboot like I have done previously on my htc wildfire and the htc incredible s

Both display types have their advandtages and disadvantages. I would not say one is better, it's just another one and depens on personal preferences.

UNROOTING won't solve the problem just google HTC g2 hboot you get a zip file and follow the same steps as getting the desire z hboot

HTC Sense 2.3 and forgot to change your hboot?
Which ROM are you actually use?
Did you install official 2.3 HTC Sense ROM using RUU after trying to install some ROMs? I think yes, because your Desire is S-ON. Did you change hboot to downgrade before you run RUU?

Currently using MIUI 2.3.7, so I didnt install official HTC Sense. No downgrade of Hboot - which version should I need? I can normally flash all 2.3.7 ROMs (CM7, MIUI,AOPK..)

So... I do not know why your Desire is S-ON (as I wrote in my previous post) and I think this is the reason. You should S-OFF your phone, I think... ;P

His phone has unlocked bootloader from htcdev, so he's still s-on.
Almost all of these roms require a sd-ext partition on sd-card and you didn't wrote anything about having it. Plus for that kind of stuff working properly I think that you need s-off, so jump to downgrading of hboot and running Revolutionary tool.

Hi, so I made:
1) downgrade Hboot --> s-off
2) new sd-ext partition on sd-card (1Gb / 0swap)
it works
thx
