[Q] help please? :)

ok i s-off'ed my phone when it was first relesed, have just updted to the newest version 1.80 and i cant for the life of me figure out how to put the n1 table on my phone i tried "You can also download the corresponding PB99IMG zipfile, put it on your sdcard, and rename it to PB99IMG.zip. Then start the phone in HBOOT mode (VolDown+POWER) to flash the HBOOT without a PC." <<<that but it says cid incorrect reboot or similar any help is much appreciated
also sorry if this has been asked before but i could not find the threads

That's sounds like you need a goldcard but I haven't tried the PB99IMG way.
Have you tried flashing it through fastboot?
I think that's the more reliable way to do it.

if im honest i cant get the sdk tools to fstboot flash it as it says i need java sdk when there already installed :S

Do you have a goldcard in your phone? If not, create one and try it again.
There's lots of posts about how to make a goldcard if you need them

you dont need the java sdk you need the jdk
eitherway fastboot doesnt require java to flash as its an executable from path using cmd so im wondering what you are doing to use it
is it the installer itself that is giving you an error?
have to tried the s-off all in one flasher?

[Q] AlpharevX Doesnt detect my Wildfire :(

Ive tried to s-off my Wildfire like 3 times. The first one i failed cz i chose HBOOT 1.01.0001. The second one it was stucked on Acquiring Root <method 1> then i waited, then it said click anything to exit. after that my third times, it doesnt detect my handset.
Does it mean my WF already s-off or what?
Thanks a lot to who has answered my question

You can check the HBOOT version by pressing Vol - and power when turning it on.

i already know its 1.01.0002
But then when i tried to do it again, the alpharevx doesnt detect my phone. it only said : Android
Then it wanted i put the serial
nvm, it detects now. But it stucks when it says Thank you for participating

hye...
i am rlly new with this forum just rcently bcame a mmber... n of cz vry noob...
i hving this problem when i try to run the alpharev X it says waiting for device..
so?? what had i done wrong i already know that my HBOOT is 1.01.002..
btw sory my english..

Did you set your phone at USB-debug and charge only?

how to enable the USB debug?? i hve set myphone to chrge only still alpharex doesnt detect myphone..

USB debugging is under Settings->Applications->Development

No. It detects it almost immediately. Possible solutions:
- Make sure USB Debugging is On, as already said above
- Redownload the AlphaRev X Executable file
- Make sure Drivers are installed and working properly. There are 2 aspects to this:
1) Install HTC Sync, and, Uninstall it. The ADB Drivers will be installed
2) The HBoot Drivers are next. Guide to install that is here:

Its an example. The actual file will be the one you downloaded. (Theres a link in the first line of that guide called Unrevoked Modified USB Driver)

thanks i just install the hboot driver.. install htc sync and uninstall htc sync.. so now i hope alpharev x can detect my phone... again thank u 4 the help..

now rise another problem.. alpharev x can detect myphone but when i enter the beta key base my serial no it says invalid beta key...

Redownload the alpharev zip and run it, worked for me.

There are two possible solutions there again. But, before that, make sure you have entered the right details (Right Serial Number (HT0....), Right HBoot Version, Right Device Model).
Once you are sure these are correct:
- Solution 1 - Copy the beta key in your clipboard from the website, then right click the title bar of the AlphaRevX Application, Click Properties, then check mark Quick Edit Mode. Then Right click anywhere inside the window, it will paste the key.
- Solution 2 - Redownload the AlphaRevX Application from the website and retry.
EDIT: Ninja'ed, Oh well.

lol sory mymistake... actually i really put the wrong beta key...
now that i hve S-OFF myphone what should i do now... sorry i really dont know anything..

Two ways again:
1) Follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130044
2) Use Fastboot (Which I used)
- Download Android SDK - http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
- Download ClockworkMod Recovery - http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1014498
- Extract the Recovery.img file from the 2nd link, and place it in your SDK Setup Path / Tools (eg: C:/android-sdk-windows/tools)
- Open a Command Window (cmd)
- Browse to the tools folder in this Command Window
- Type the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
- It will install ClockworkMod Recovery, you are done.
Then, simply follow Part 3 of this guide to install Custom ROMs and Stuff, irrespective of what you followed above.

EXE File.
That post simply means, that when you have completed installing your SDK, then, there will be a folder called "Tools" at your install location. Copy Paste the Recovery.img file to the Tools folder.

ok now i hve copy the recovery.img into tools
then open cmd right?? now what??

[Q] Cannot Downgrade Hboot 1.01.0002 to 1.01.0001

Hello,
I'm new to the forums, and have only just recently got a HTC Wildfire A3333 running 2.2.1.
I have tried to use " [GUIDE] Downgrade to HTC Froyo WWE for AlphaRevX (HBOOT 1.01.0001) " to downgrade the h boot as to start to gain root.
But when I have followed the instructions, it appears to complete ok, but when I reboot in to the system menu, it still shows as .002 hboot and does not install the rom supplied.
any help would be great
EDIT: IT TOLD ME I HAD SUCCESSFULLY CREATED GOLD CARD
GlennBrownie

same goes with me mate, i got the gold card and then i insert it, it all goes but when the cmd closes it still shows hboot 1.01.002

This happened to me on a Telstra wildfire (A3335). if you make it so the CMD window doesn’t close (I used an alternative shell) you will see that it actually gets some error before closing, which is why it doesn’t actually change the hboot.
I must have done it 20 times before I got it to work. I can't remember what I did differently the time I made it work, but it was something to do with which usb mode the phone was in for each step, and when I decided to change it from one mode to the other. Basically trying to make it so the phone wouldn’t say “preparing SD card” after I had made the goldcard.
Worst part was when I finally downgraded my Hboot, alphrev X still wouldn’t work for me. Continued to get the error of “Retrieving Caroline from certain doom...” and "mtd: not writing bad block at 0x00000000" I've since given up..

okays, thanks for the help, ill try that, but with alpharevx the problem they are tring to fix is the part where you need to restart into fastboot the second time, so in this case, ill give that a try. the thing is that im useing windows 7 enterprise, i have the hboot drivers all installed and etc, i used the intructions given to me and everyone else where you have to make the gold card. in that intruction it stated to put the sd card into the usb or sd port, the thing i did was switch my phone to mount the SD card and create it via there, i think the part where we all went wrong is unmounted it after we finished making the sd card. so try that, and with your problem i tghink you need to try and run the program in ADMIN mode (right click and run as admin) and then try and get the HBOOT drivers from Unrevoked installed. give that a try and hope it all works out
cheers

Well I managed to get step2.bat to run in a cmd so that it stayed open,
it came up with "FAILED <remote: 42 custom id check fail>".
when HTC booted in to bootloader it still showed same h.boot (.0002)
Please see attached screenshot.

my question is, when i run alpharevx, it asks me for the beta key, note that it doesnt show my device name or anything like how i did it before i downgraded, any ideas why? and does anyone have a beta key for me to use? because the one i got with my phone when i entered it in said it was incorrect, when before before i downgraded it worked perfectly fine (except the rotting part).

what Beta key, I dont recall one?

To get a new beta key just follow this link, click download and then enter your phone's SN.

Make sure you properly created a working gold card. Retry with gold card.

If it doesn’t show your device properly just reboot your phone. Basically every time the program fails it won’t show your device properly until you reboot again (This will also fix the issue where it thinks you have the wrong beta key). People suggesting to go get a new beta key have no idea. Have they not noticed that it doesn’t matter which HBoot version you select on the site you still get the same key based on your serial number.

yes, i used mt wildfire SN and i use the code it gives me still getting the same problem,

done it twice and it still come up with success message?
even did it through hex editor....

I tried to do it again to show screenshots.
firstly, I ran step one and it says "cannot stat" followed by file name and says "no such file or directory". see image1.jpg
I then checked the buzzdowngrade folder, and all files are there. see image4.jpg
I then attempted the goldcard, and I clicked get cid, and it loaded a CID with a lot of 0's in it so I dont think its showing correct CID, possibly hiding real CID?
image2.jpg
when I clicked patch MMC, it came up with an error message. see image3.jpg

Have you installed the HTC driver 3.0.0.007. If not, install it first before even going with step1.
And regarding step2, creating a working gold card is important. If you still get custom id errors, try with a different memory card. And run the gold card tool as administrator. And in that you will see mmc0 and mmc1 options. Try creating with the other if one fails.

Just downgraded and i think i know what is the problem.
You have to change the connection status from charge only to Mass storage
then click refresh and the memory card will be available.
HTC MMC : select you sd card.
And now patch.

right, got an update.
managed to succeed with the dmisc.img and others that failed - thanks to Mattyyey, cheers Matt
We then got to flashing the rom and it failed, any suggestions?
we recreated the gold card and formated the microSD card and patched and it told us that it had succeeded.
please see screenshot.

its probably your fake SD card! I was able to run the commands in step 1 and 2 from the cmd, all but the final ROM flash. I think after we create it we should confirm its been put on the SD card via hex workshop.... I did think of this last night but I was getting tired and you dont have it installed. I suspect its just the goldcard isn't done, everything else works when typed manually into cmd.
Unless anyone else has another reason for the custom ID check failing?

MATTYYEY was correct, it was due to fake microSD card, completed gold card with authentic SD card and it worked.

[Q] PB99IMG.zip not found by HBOOT?

Hi,
so I managed to S-off my Desire using Revolutionary. But now I would like to change the HBOOT.
So I put the PB99IMG.zip file on the root of the SD card and boot the phone holding Volume Down + Power, next the message '... PB99IMG.zip not found ...'
Why does this happen? What can I do?
Grtz

is it definitely named PB99IMG.zip in capitals? Is it definitely not ending .zip.zip?

Alternatively try "Android Flasher". Not saying it's better, but it's a workaround.

I'll say its better

yeah, it's all in caps. :s
But i'll check out android flasher tomorrow, thanks guys!

No but I was about to download a new table from Alpharev in this zip format and change my table sizes for more data space. Thought of asking this in order to know what to do if I also happen to run into the same problem.

Its usually something to do with the file name. itmust be exactly "PB99IMG.zip" not "pb99img.zip" or "PB99IMG.zip.zip"
You'd be surprised how many people have that last one.

Can I run this in Ubuntu 11.10? Maybe in Wine or something? My dual boot isn't working anymore

Hmm wouldn't trust wine with something this important. You can just drop the fastboot file into ubuntu and use the commands from the fastboot faq in my signature. If you can wait an hour, ill upload the fastboot file and tell you where to put it...
Then from a terminal just type the command. Dead easy

I fixed the problem, don't know why, but I just reformatted the SD card (with Gparted, exactly the same as I did the first time). And now the PB99IMG file was recognized, so I was able to install the new HBOOT.
I would stil like to have the fastboot file though, I've been looking all over the place for it!
Thanks again everyone.

This is the flashable zip:
http://download.chainfire.eu/339/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.41.zip

I downgraded mine in 20 mins, its so simple. Basically u need to -
Unlock bootloader (google)
Flash recovery (google)
Flash superuser (google)
Then on ur pc u do the misc_version bit and in the cmd window u need to type in the ruu number that ur going to run so that when u do run the ruu, it thinks ur software number is 1.xx.xxxx NOT 2.xx.xxxx. Once uv finished misc_version part u need to boot back into fastboot and relock ur bootloader (fastboot oem lock) then run the ruu, if all goes well u can use revolutionary.
