You must flash hboot through fastboot, you need SDK on computer to run fastboot, fastboot devices is command to see if your device is connected.

can u tell the steps for doing it by fastboot method....because android flasher does find the device..

cm7r2

just tried to flash alpharev cm7r2 file using android flasher. In hboot mode it says alpharev cm7r2. I tried to boot into 4ext recovery but it says it fails to fetch recovery log. So I cant use recovery and if I try to use android flasher to flash recovery again or hboot it stops responding. What should I do?
Any help and I would be very grateful.

Assume that you are s-off.
Can you still get you h-boot screen?
If so you should be able to use fastboot to flash both recovery and h-boot.
I find it easier than android flasher.
There are plenty of guides about on using fastboot so would suggest reading them as well and have a search about as wont be the first to encounter this issue
Also use fastboot to wipe system and cache and reboot the bootloader and you should be fine......
There is a thread on android forum about e: failure to get recovery log

Thanks for the reply

Have a read of this thread

It explains how to set up fastboot. The adb part is not relevant so once set up you can use commands like
Fastboot flash hboot c:\*****.img
Fastboot flash recovery
Fastboot erase
Which should enable you to change your hboot, recovery etc
The following link is a good step guide to changing your hboot along with a utility to set up fastboot

When setting up the computer for fastboot it does not have enviroment variables in the advanced my computer bit. I am using windows vista

Follow this and it should work fine
How do I set up my Windows PC to use adb and fastboot?
Download SDK Tools only Open the .rar file, then drag and drop the folder "android-sdk-windows" to the C: drive Right click My computer > Properties > Advanced > Environment Variables under system variables click "path" and click "edit" at the end of the line add a sem semi colon ";" and without a space put C:\android-sdk-windows\tools -It should look like ;C:\android-sdk-windows\tools then click ok.
I assume you already have h-boot drivers installed (you need these to root with unrevoked) if not my previous post link has advice on how to do this
Update : I'm using vista as well so know this works

Right
Click start > run > cmd
This will open a command window
Have you phone connected in fastboot mode
And then use fastboot commands to flash the recovery, hboot etc.
I would recommend changing your recovery to amon-ra ( but this is personnel choice)
You need the files you want to flash on you PC.
For example to flash an hboot you would use the following
Fastboot flash hboot c:\*****.Img
The same would apply for recovery etc
Fastboot flash recovery c:\*****.img
Once you have flashed hboot
Make sure you use fast boot to wipe system / cache / reboot bootloader.

I managed to open the command window but it said the command fastboot was not recognized (or something) internally or externally
Have I got the files in the correct places? Where should they be because I tried to follow the instructions very carefully?
Thanks so much for your help I hopefully nearly there!

right,
finally booted up my laptop so this should get easier for me.....
how did you root your phone, did you use unrevoked or did you s-off with revolutionary and then install the recovery that came with it.
Can you answer the following
You have the h-boot drivers installed ?
You have download and followed the steps for the SDK files.
You have set the environment variables as previously mentioned.
When you boot your phone holding down the volume button and power you get the hboot screen, can you then select fast boot. and with your phone connected to your pc does it change from fast boot to fastboot usb.
if so the commands should work. if not you could try the utility by _thalamus on the oxygen.im website
http://forum.oxygen.im/viewtopic.php?id=1412
You may want to change your recovery to amon-ra or an earlier version of clockworkmod 2.5.0 something....(i use amon-ra and rate it very highly, you can down load it from the following

[HTC Desire] Stuck at htc logo with 4 triangles at the corners

Hello everybody, I've been searching for a solution to this for a while now. Searching all over this forum and other forums. Google advanced searchs didn't help me neither. Please I would be very grateful if you could give me a start line.

excuse me again , but i im stuck..
i presumed my problem was at the section [4]RUU PROBLEMS
(since there was the htc logo problem with four /!\ )
ok, i followed thes steps:
went to alpharev.nl and downloaded the stock .img
downloaded and installed the android flasher.. i turned on the desire with the htc logo and the four triangles , choose the bootloader and i hit the Flash! button. but nothing.. nothing happens on the phone.. and android flasher just keeps hanging with the progressbar not moving. what am i doing wrong??

Are you sure you used search??
Go back to alpharev and download the file PB99IMG_stock. Rename this as PB99IMG.zip and place onto your SD card. Reboot phone with VolDn + Pwr and wait until you see "Do you want to install update?" (or something like that) and select "yes".
You will find this guide posted many times on this forum and it's not hard to locate...

I guess what the op need is to flash the hboot_downgrader first then only run the ruu. It should works.
Flashing the stock_hboot from alpharev will make no different because that is not the original stock hboot but the locked bravo_alphaspl.img with 147mb/data and the original stock hboot from htc is 148mb/data.
As mentioned in Alpharev website:
"Downgrade protection, these HBOOTs cannot be overwritten by an OTA or RUU, unless you flash a downgrader HBOOT first."
So flash downgrader hboot then run RUU.

Indeed sir, i found this guide but isn't working for me. I downloaded the PB99IMG_stock.zip , renamed to PB99IMG.zip and copied to the root of SD card. I tried tto powr + voldown but nothing.. just brings up the htc logo with the four triangles at the edges.

I've tried with the android flasher this method but with no luck. should i
go with the .iso file burn it and run it to change the hboot.
(one more thing. i don't find 147/148 mb data on the bravo_xxx.img they're only a few kb :/ )

Never use android flasher so not sure about it. Try fastboot commander but do not use bravo_alphaspl.img, use bravo_downgrade img. After flashing it, run ruu.

hboot.img that you flash will change the nand partition layout. So flashing an alpharev stock hboot will change the nand partition to 147mb for data, 250mb for system and 40mb for cache. 147/148mb is not the size of hboot.
Your problem here is the RUU cannot write a new partition to nand because of the locked alpharev hboot, that is why you need to flash the bravo_downgrade.img to unlock the hboot then when you run ruu, it can write new partition layout to nand.

Very informative answer .. but for some odd reason i cannot get to downgrade the hboot.
1.Downloaded and installed the Fastboot commander 1.51
2.Downloaded the bravo_downgrade.img from alpharev.nl
3.switched on the desire (whith the htc logo and four triangles) and connected to pc
4. opened the fastboot commander and on the "hboot radio & rec" tab.. on the hboot/spl i chose the bravo_downgrade.img and then "flash spl"
5.it says waiting for flashing and than it fails without showing any reason
what am i doing wrong?

In your pc device manager (assuming you're on windows), is the Android USB Devices show My HTC ?
Here is the driver if needed http://rapidshare.com/files/431644974/Usb-Drivers-Android.rar (link taken from fastboot commander thread).

[Q] Why do I have Revolutionary HBOOT?

Hey guys!
I used an RUU to flash my Desire back to the old software (build) version 2.10.405.2. This gave me Android 2.2 (Froyo). I think this is the one that came with my phone (if my memory serves me well). Those who bought it before me had to upgrade from Eclair to get Froyo. I think I had Froyo already.
But why does it say "Revolutionary" and "S-OFF" in my HBOOT menu? Doesn't the RUU flash everything?
Also, when I go into Recovery I get the usual warning triangle icon. So there are no menus, there used to be CWM (clock work mod) with menus.
So the recovery image has been flashed and the ROM image has been flashed? But just not the HBOOT image?
Can I download the HBOOT image only somewhere? And then flash it using Fastboot Commander?

U have to flash alpharev downgrader first then run the ruu, that way it will be completely stock s-on

So I guess I was on the right path then. I mean I just flashed it with what seemed to be the stock HBOOT image. I visited the AlphaRev website and downloaded a file called PB99IMG_stock.zip. This ZIP file includes a file called hboot.img. I used the command prompt to write this file to the phone in fastboot mode.
But all that did is it changed the title in the HBOOT menu from "Revolutionary" to "AlphaRev".

I will try the downgrade image now.
What will the command be?
Code:
fastboot flash hboot bravo_downgrade.img
Is that right?...
And then I will run the RUU? Right? And this will flash the proper stock HBOOT image?

From what i understand you have Stock hboot now (you said you've flashed it)
So yes, now just flash downgrader and run RUU.

How to get back to stock HBOOT image
It worked! Thanks jmcclue! The commands are all the same as for flashing any HBOOT image.
Just for reference, this is how to do it.
Go to AlphaRev website and download the file "bravo_downgrade.img".
Set the phone to fastboot mode.
Connect it to the computer with a USB cable.
Open a command prompt (preferably with elevated privileges).
Navigate to the folder where you saved the "bravo_downgrade.img" file.
Send this command to flash it.
Code:
fastboot flash hboot bravo_downgrade.img
Send this command to reboot.
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Send this command to erase cache.
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Disconnect the phone from computer.
Select "REBOOT" from the Fastboot menu. Either that, or take out the battery and put it back in.
Boot/start up the phone normally. If you previously took out the battery, put it back in and press the power button.
Connect it to the computer. If it asks you what kind of connection, choose Charge only.
Run the RUU (ROM Utility Update) that includes the HBOOT image. If it includes the HBOOT image the file size should be around 160 MB.
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the operation.
When done, the phone should reboot and you should have the stock HBOOT image and the stock software version.
Note! Don't remove the cable when you are sending commands to the phone. Only remove it when all commands and operations are performed.
Requirements:
RUU file for your phone.
Android SDK installed.
Java SDK installed.
HTC Sync
(ADB driver for your phone)
I am assuming you already have the SDKs all installed and set up. If not, you will have to do that first.
You will probably also need the HTC Sync installed on the computer. I think this is required for RUU to work properly. I was only receiving ERROR 170 when running the RUU ("phone not connected" or "not found" or whatever), until I installed HTC Sync. You will find it on HTC website or you can find the old version on your original 2 GB microSD card you got with the phone. I personally prefer the old version because the new HTC Sync feels like bloatware and is resource-hungry for no apparent reason (just some flashy graphics).
You may or you may not need the ADB (Android Debug? Bridge) driver for your phone. I have mine, downloaded from XDA Developers forum years ago. It's said that installing HTC Sync will include the proper drivers for ADB and solve the issue with missing driver for "Android 1.0". I didn't find this to be true. I tried different, supposedly HTC drivers only packages, from different web sources, and none of them worked. Except for the one I found on XDA Developers forum. I'm not 100% sure but I think this driver is only needed when the phone is in recovery mode. But it doesn't hurt to install it just as a precaution or at least have it prepared and ready to install.
To get RUU files:
You can either go to the HTC Developer website and try to locate the files there, or you can visit a website like Shipped-ROMs and try locating a "Bravo" or "Desire". Bravo is the codename for Desire. Then you probably want to download the ones that have "WWE" (World Wide English) in the names. These are based on English but have translations to other languages as well. And you want the ones where it says "HTC" in the name, if your phone is not carrier specific and not re-branded. Mine is not.
This is the name of the RUU file I used:
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.10.405.2_R_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_142828_signed.exe
This gave me Android 2.2 which is what I had on my phone when it was new.
Check:
To verify that you have the proper HBOOT version and that you have S-ON you can show the HBOOT menu (volume down + power button). Here is what it should look like.

Patched HBOOT images (Revolutionary & Alpha Rev) are protected against downgrades
Hi k3lcior!
If I was on stock HBOOT, then why did it say "Revolutionary" on top of the screen when I hold Volume down and Power button to enter HBOOT menu?
Yes, I did say I flashed it. Or that's what I thought I did. What I meant is I ran the RUU (ROM Utility Update) for build 2.10.405.2. I mentioned the name of the file in the post above. This is a 166 MB file. It's not an OTA update or anything of that nature, like updates of 30 MB or less. So running the RUU (166 MB) should flash everything on the phone, not just parts of it.
RUU file is big because it includes the ROM, the recovery image, and it should also include the HBOOT image. But for some reason when I ran this it only flashed and replaced my ROM image, and the recovery image. It failed to flash and replace my HBOOT image.
I now know why.
Downgrade protection, these HBOOTs cannot be overwritten by an OTA or RUU, unless you flash a downgrader HBOOT first.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This is a quote from the AlphaRev website. It's more clear to me now why it didn't work in the first place.
I actually had the "Revolutionary" HBOOT because that's what I used. I used Revolutionary to get S-OFF and root access on Android 2.3.3 on HTC Desire. It of course also installs a custom recovery image (CWM or Clock Work Mod) with "Revolutionary" background and "Revolutionary" printed on HBOOT menu.
So my conclusion is that both "Revolutionary" and "AlphaRev" HBOOT images have this "downgrade protection" feature. That's why running RUU to restore everything to stock version fails to restore the HBOOT image to it's stock version. The HBOOT image on the phone was being protected. That's where the "downgrade image" comes in. You use that to remove the protection first. And then you run the RUU and it will flash everything, including the HBOOT image.
After all, the Revolutionary is a later development based on AlphaRev, and other tools and exploits. So it's not hard to imagine that they share same features. The last time I used AlphaRev and Unrevoked to get root and S-OFF was when I had Android 2.29 (I think it was build 2.29.405.2). I had no problems running the RUU to restore everything back to stock version, including the HBOOT image. But I did not downgrade it that time. I mean I just used the RUU for the same version, as the one that was already on the phone. And of course I didn't use Revolutionary at that time.
So I'm not sure... it's either because of the fact that I used Revolutionary this time (instead of Unrevoked + AlphaRev), or it's because I went from Android 2.3.3 to Android 2.2 (a downgrade), or it's because I was going from HBOOT version 6.93.1002 (came with Revolutionary) to HBOOT version 0.93.0001 which comes with the RUU for (a downgrade).
It may also be that the AlphaRev HBOOT image didn't have the "downgrade protection" until version 1.80. So it's possible that I used some old version of the AlphaRev that didn't have this feature when I rooted and S-OFFed the old Android 2.29.
One of these cases apply, but I'm not sure which one. In either case, I got rid of the custom HBOOT image. It's all back to stock now.

FWIW;
When you visit the AlphaRev website you will see that there is a table with two columns that hold file names and download links. One just says "Download". Th other says "PB99IMG". If you are doing this from a computer, with the phone connected to the computer with a USB cable, then you probably want the files from the column that says "Download".
If you for some reason don't have access to a computer, or you don't know what command prompt is, you don't know how to install the Android SDK so that you can send the fastboot commands... well, whatever the reason may be, then you probably want the files from the column that says "PB99IMG". These are ZIP files that include the same files you will find under "Download", with the addition of some extra files/tools. The idea is to place it on an SD card and let the phone do the rest. It's sort of this "unplugged" and automated way of doing things.
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. It is however still necessary to either restore your nandroid, or reflash your ROM after doing this. The partition LAYOUT has changed, the actual data still needs to be 'moved'.

I'm not sure how it helps renaming a ZIP file. If the file name is "PB99IMG.zip" (with the zip extension already) how does it help renaming it to... something like "PB99IMG.zip.zip"? Is that what they are saying? That you should add one more zip extension to the end of the file name... or that you should add one if there is no extension. I'm not sure what they mean, but I would go with "PB99IMG.zip".
I have not tried this method myself, but this may be easier to use for some user. Instead of having to install the SDK et al. You may be able to even download the ZIP file right on the phone, without even touching a computer. You just need to have it on the SD card of the phone. And enter the HBOOT menu. I guess there is some Bat file or something inside the ZIP file that automates everything else.

glad u got sorted. its good to see that u actually took the time to read and understand what u did, unlike other user who just post problems coz they cant be bothered to read anything and try to understand how things work so :good: to u.
Now about the PB99IMG. Your bootloader will only read PB99IMG it so thats why u have to rename it from PB99IMG_downgrade to PB99IMG. The downgrade part is only there so u know what file it is

[Q] htc desire stuck on htc log

hi I have this htc desire and its stuck on htc logo. any idea how to fix this one. any idea is welcome

Looks to me like you are trying to run an RUU but have CM7r2 HBOOT.
Need to change to Stock HBOOT.

This should rather be posted in Q&A section.
Anyways do you have a file named pg86img.zip in the root of your sd card?

these HBOOTs cannot be overwritten by an OTA or RUU, unless you flash a downgrader HBOOT first. Use bravo downgrader from alpha rev site, than you can apply pg86img.zip

moved to Q&A.
Please do not post in the dev forum unless you are releasing development work.

+Flash HBOOT with your phone in fastboot mode (Back+POWER) -> 'fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img' (change into the correct filename for the HBOOT you downloaded)
+fastboot reboot-bootloader'
+'fastboot erase cache'

You can get it by running the RUU, and while the RUU is loaded (dont start the RUU upgrade. Just click on the exe, and when the welcome screen of RUU shows up,) search in your Temp folder for the file rom.zip. Hint: To quickly navigate to Temp, Type the following into the Run window: %TEMP% It may be called ROM.zip. If so put it on the phone and rename it PB99IMG.zip

Or just google htc desire 2.3 gb ruu as PB99IMG
