I'm writing this as we are seeing a lot of this going on.
CDMA users, please be aware that the Alpharev Hboots (CM7r2, Data++ etc) are not for you. These are for the GSM desire.
Flashing one of these hboots may well BRICK YOUR PHONE so please do not do it.
If you do do it, it may be your only chance is to flash your RUU. if the Hboot version in your RUU is lower than what you now have, You may even need to flash the downgrade.img from the alpharev website.
Good Luck!!!
Correct. I learned this the hard way, took me a while to find my phone's specific RUU (US Cellular) because it wasn't in the RUU post in the Development section.
I ended up running the RUU three times (out of desperation) before it finally took (it would hang at 68% or something and quit...over and over).
Step 1: find your phone's RUU.
Step 2: flash the downgrade.img from Alpharev
Step 3: run the RUU over and over again until it works.
I PMed the guy that wrote the RUU sticky with a link to where I got mine, so he could add it, but he never did.
If you still have the link, you could click the report button in the post and ask a moderator to edit the post to include it...
Hey, sorry I left this phone and haven't checked back in on the forum for a while. The link I downloaded my RUU from is down now.
I can upload the file to Dropbox and PM you a private link if you want to download and rehost it, if you think it's worth the trouble.
i'm not sure about this link to be the right RUU for USCC http://www.htc.com/us/support/desire-uscellular/downloads/
So I have a CDMA Desire from US Cell, and I was considering flashing the Cool ICS v2 Bravo. But nowhere on the cooldevs/coolroms website does it mention anything about alpharev. The only thing I noticed, and it's the reason I'm even making this reply, is because the description mentioned "Data++" (Cool IceCream Sense v2|Android 2.3.4|FAST|STABLE|DATA++/STOCK|)
And so I wanted to confirm that if I tried flashing this ROM to my Desire CDMA, it wouldn't brick.
I have a GSM Desire, but one of my friends has a CDMA one and wanted to know about flashing an Alpharev Hboot, so I'll tell him not to do it, thanks
Why does it brick CDMA
Oh my God, such a tough question. We should write Hawking, maybe he's got an answer! Oh wait... could it be because the CDMA Desire and the GSM one have somewhat different hardware thus they have different software also?
I found this out the hard way myself. It's a legitimate question however, because alot of us have/had no idea how much different the CDMA and GSM Desire's are aside from the technology.

Youre such an ass you know that?
I asked a REAL question, and youre a jerk about it?
Watch how many low rating you get on this site.
See you around, jerk.
Somebody has already done that and his desire cdma is bricked. I think you should try it if you want to know the reason about this warning thread.
If you have desire cdma and want to change your partition to be alpharev hboot cm7r2 for example, you can use firerat cmtd for your safety. Same destination, different path.

Right, and what kind of an answer did you expect to your "real" question? Should we have attached detailed engineering schematics detailing the differences between the two devices and maybe some 1000 page documentation on the matter? The answer is as easy as simple logic: GSM and CDMA are different enough that the GSM HBOOTS won't work an the CDMA model.
I'm sure he expected an explanatory answer, just as I did. It didn't have to be completely detailed, but a short explanation is better than none. I am not a hardcore dev but still want to have the most out of my machine, so that's why I have CM7 on it instead of Sense now. The benefits of the CM7/r2 Hboot look great, but no where did it say not to use it on CDMA, except for one thread I found where it was buried. I bricked mine 3 times before I gave up on the Hboot. Anyways, give us CDMA Desire folks a chance. We just want to understand whats up.

The Alpharev site clearly states that their HBOOTs only work with GSM phones.

I believe there are few people here knowledgeable enough to give a detailed (engineer-level) explanation as to why GSM HBOOTs don't work with CDMA units.
I completely botched that when I read it and didn't think about the GSM thing. I stand corrected.
Quick question. I just got a CDMA Desire and I plan to flash BCM ICS on it, which I understand supports the CDMA Desire. But the BCM post also says that the ROM needs 180mb on the /system partition and recommends using AlphaRev Data++. If that's not an option for the CDMA Desire, what hboot should I use for BCM? Will Revolutionary 0.4pre4 provide the partitioning scheme required by BCM?
(BTW, if it matters, I originally had an N1 and loved it, then switched carriers and ended up on a CDMA Droid X, which was a pain. I'm switching to the Desire hoping it will be similar to me beloved N1, but I'm already seeing the major differences!)

Revolutionary works fine for BCM. If you need more space for apps, CMTD is a good start, but you'll probably be better off with m2sd.
Don't partition your sd/ext in Revolutionary/CWM- Minitool will work from a PC though.
Thank you very much, this is very useful information for desire cdma user. And save our device from brick.

Now uh, go easy on me, my first time posting here.
I may seem like a total idiot here, but the amount of conflicting information I've seen is quite confusing. I've searched and searched and the more I read the less I seemed to be sure of.
My question:
Can I do the unrevoked method of rooting ('theunlockr.com - how to root htc desire unrevoked method' 20.9.10) [cant post links] on my specific device?
My handset information is
Bravo PVT3 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT- 0.87.0001
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNW0101
RADIO-5.09.00.08
Android version: 2.2
Software number: 2.06.832.1
The 0.87 HBOOT seems rather rare on the forums, I don't know why. All I've read is that at one point the 0.87 version could not be rooted, but I don't know if that is still the case (this was information from April-July) and the unrevoked tutorial states that 'At this time, unrevoked3 works on all versions of the supported phones', which my phone would come under the CDMA Desire (BravoC) I'm pretty sure. Just would like some quick confirmation from you lot before I go and do something stupid.
Thanks!
it was mentioned that hboot version doesnt matter when using new unrevoked
If you've got S-OFF then you don't need to root do you? It should already be done...CDMA phones when rooted with unrEVOked get S-OFF
Sounds like you're already rooted, check to see if you've got Superuser Permissions in your program list
Nope, no superuser permissions, and the phones unused.
The fact that the phone supports WCDMA as well as GSM makes it the CDMA 'Bravo' model right?
Well if what you have written is indeed what it says in hboot, then you are s-off and it should be easy to flash or install super user to the phone
My phone supports WCDMA and GSM - it's not the same as CDMA...
Do you use a SIM card in your phone? If so, it's a GSM phone
Just double checked it, it definately says S-OFF, everything in the first post was 100% correct.
Strange, the phone is actually a Hong Kong model that I ordered, saving me quite a bit of money being in Australia. Seems a bit iffy that it was unlocked from the start, actually makes me think it's a used model, even though everything else looks and works flawlessly. Probably shouldn't complain, even though they've caused me a bit of confusion.
So these rooted ROMs that people are developing all contain the superuser permissions application, I can't seem to find that individual application for download though. Hmmm.
edit: found the application, installing.
Ah, so I have the GSM model.
When did you get the phone? The S-OFF 'hack' has only just come out so unless you're on an engineering Desire (which is highly unlikely) then someone cracked it before selling the phone...
If I were you, I'd follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256
and go back to a stock WWE ROM and then root it using unrEVOked 3.14 and then you can flash whatever ROM you want...easier than faffing about with S-OFF and the like (you don't really need it unless you wanna change the initial splash screen or you're a developer)
I got the phone about a week ago.
Cheers for the advice.

Well the hboot version he is mentioning is not the same as the one patched by ieftm, so he might just have recieved a developer device? Sounds strange though.
And as eddyos is saying, you could just flash a ruu and go the traditional route, if you cant figure it out using the s-off hboot. It's pretty cool though.
edit: if it is an actual s-off device, wouldn't the flag for s-off be set and flashing a ruu would not help it? Just like unrevoked forever on evo?
Didn't know if this is one helps. I think its a newer file
RUU_Vivo_W_CT_HTCCN_CHS_CT_1.08.1401.0_Radio_Radio_CT_0_99_50_0401_NV_NV_MFG_eMMC_CT_1.98_release_182317_signed.exe
it can be found here: http://911sniper.blog.163.com/blog/static/14290088120113210413617/?suggestedreading
It says its the one that was with the release but the radio says its 99.50 and mine says 0.99.01 and my hboot is .97
I guess its for the incredible s still but its still labeled as vivo_w (EVDO+GSM) which is what the incredible 2 is.
Hmm wonder what would happen if I flash this only one way to know but not in the mood to brick this phone yet
Edit
After looking at it again it looks like its for the China Telecom version of this phone so that means no flashing it for me
Hmmm. I noticed the file name has 'MFG' in it. I could be wrong, but wouldnt that make this a manufacturer release?
It is a manfacturer release for china telecom. I just found it interesting that the radio version is different.
Also this one http://911sniper.blog.163.com/blog/static/142900881201122643444412/?suggestedreading
Its listed as "Test Only" for Incredible s "dual band" which is the incredible 2. VIVO is incredible s and VIVO_W is incredible 2.

From my crappy translation it seems like he's saying something to the effect that he did use an XTC Clip. Hopefully a fluent speaker of chinese will happen across this thread and clarify for us. Good information, thanks!
I would translate "but not to use XTC Clip" into "I didn't use the XTC Clip"
Sounds very promising to me if that is true
The only thing is the exploit in the china telecom software or both. Cause the picture shows the 0.99.01 radio but chinese text
he didn't mention anything on HOW it was unlocked. but i did noticed that it was done on a VZW I2 that was imported. software is in chinese so i would suspect that a rom reflash was done to it. it was also noted that the SIM slot had been "soft-modified" to take CDMA SIM as well.
kinna tough to read it through carefully at work, will re-read once i get home...
UPDATE: i noticed that the S-OFF was done with the same HBOOT and RADIO as our shipped I2, so it's safe to guess that it was S-OFF on stock, then reflash into chinese.... it's likely that the chinese firmware has nothing to do with it since they flash it just so that it is easier to sell/use in the chinese market.
so i am guessing there is a way to S-OFF and root it... but it's gonna take a while before that info will leak... but it will and it's good to know that it actually ROOT-able
Factory s-off Incredible 2's are around, and that is what that maybe.
Phase 1 test devices were s-off

i think it's just a matter of time before the method is leaked.... these things don't stay secretive for long. and if xtc picks it up... then maybe we can start setting up regional xtc share groups or something...
My question would be since the incredible s and the chinese incredible 2 are similar in hardware would it be possible to flash just the system update of the incredible s to the 2 just to get gingerbread. I know that the cdma might not work but just wondering or if the hardware is too different. I know that with htc alot of the hardware is similar and porting isn't too hard but idk. Just trying to find other software since inc2 old firmware just isn't popping up anywhere.
If its not gonna root, Than its not gonna be a favourite device.
Hope our devs can unlock the hard nut

OP, the things you are mentioning are custom partitions. Basically, your phone shipped with 512mb of internal storage. More than half is dedicated to housing your operating system, roughly 150mb is actually usable by you (for apps). Owners of GSM phones can flash "custom hboots" (custom partitions) to free up more room for apps. They can do that when they flash ROMS that require less than the 240mb the stock Sense rom requires. Any rom that fits on the (huge) stock partition, will fit on the smaller custom ones.
Your phone is CDMA. If you try to flash an hboot you will brick your phone about as hard as you possibly can. If you don't have a goldcard made (or have the EXACT RUU for your provider, your phone will be worthless.
I repeat, do NOT touch hboots. ANY rom you can find, including Runnymede, will fit on the stock hboot. Just partition 1gb of your external SD card to EXT3 or EXT4 file system.
@Bossonline, I don't know what to tell you. Sounds like there's some weird restriction on MAC addresses. In the US you can just fire up your phone and connect to your wifi and never activate it (as a matter of fact, that's what I do with mine. Use it as a baller iPod touch).

I was hoping to try out the runnymede rom. I have seen that others have gotten it to work on a cdma phone but I can't. maybe someone can help me figure out what i'm doing wrong.
These are the steps I take

Hi guys also girls maybe
I am going to use the excuse of being female Haha no excuse for anything i know
After having a "Desire" i was able to root that just so i could use Aps2SD to move my apps. yada yada lol I never had the nerve to attempt to install Custom Rom.
Since that went wrong a couple weeks back i purchased a tada "HTC DHD"
I have been reading my eyes sore for the past week on how too:
1.root the DHD=success Ace Hack Brilliant
2.The Plunge..install Custom Rom.. RCMix3D"LOVE IT" using RomManager.
3. Radios-kernals etc
Now my questiones
Q.1
Having read so much about roms. Am i to believe in the later versions of the Roms.aka RCMix3D v4.0..
Do these already include the suitable radio-kernal etc?
If the latter versions do,does this applie to earlier version?
Q.2
Before i installed RCMix3D i did a rom backup of my stock rom using RomManager.
If for any stupid known reason i needed to revert back to stock. Is it a simple case of restoring the back up? Would this do the radio etc?
Also when it comes up on the backup saying the "date-time"etc can i rename the back up to easely reconise it?
Q.3
As the DHD didnt come with a SDcard i used a 2Gb i had laying about spare.Titchy size i know..
As i have now got a Kingston 32Gb "Size Does Matter "
Is it possible to transfer all the files off the 2Gb card onto my laptop then onto the 32Gb, Then inserting the 32Gb into the DHD with out any problems arrising due to a differant SdCard?
This information maybe on the forum but work is killer so im sorry for appearing lazy
Thanks to every 1 at XDA and the followers for the help in advance..
Regards Nikki
1) all roms come with the kernal. Radios are independent and would be up to you if you wanted to flash it
2) yes on both. You can name it whatever your heart desires. And restoring is as easy as hitting restore in cwr
3) yes
ok thanks. nice quick reply. all i needed to know for now
Hi - on 2), ROM Manager has an option to rename the backups - use that, don't rename it using a File Explorer app.
I'm not 100% sure if it's still the case, but in the past, on older versions of ROM Manager and CWM, if I renamed the backup inside ROM Manager it was fine. If I renamed it manually then it wouldn't restore correctly. Probably something to do with the checksums.
Also, the backup doesn't include the radio. So if you change the radio, and want to revert, you'll need to flash the previous radio back separately.
Hope that helps.
How can I check the radio I am on? On fast boot?
I havnt flashed a different one yet so hope I can make a note of mine.
Thanks
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
In Android it's in Settings/About Phone/Software Inforrmation - then the exact screen depends on your ROM version. Look for "Baseband".
In the bootloader/fastboot, it's the 4th line down. Mine says
"Radio-26.14.04.28_M"
Got mine from fastboot.
Radio-26.10.04.03_M
Thanks for the reply.
Is there any other stuff I should note down before delving deeper into roms etc
Thanks
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Most ROMs include everything but the radio, so everything else is covered.
The only other thing that might be worth checking is the hboot version, on the same screen that you got the radio version from. I can't think of many times when you'd need it, but if you ever apply Eng S-Off, which replaces the hboot, you might want to know what version the phone originally came with. It's unlikely but can't hurt.
Incidentally, the best way to revert to stock (for example if you have to send the phone back for repairs), is to flash an RUU, and that includes everything - ROM, radio, hboot, the lot.
So I'd say you're fine.
Thanks again for the useful information
I have Eng S-OFF so i guess cant check my oringinal one? Unless is a way too do this.
Also apparently i dont have ENG Bootloader. When i tried flashing a new splash screen. Is this easily available?
Thanks..
Sorry to ask, but are you sure your phone has Eng S-Off? There are two types of S-Off, Radio S-Off and Eng S-Off. Eng S-Off completely replaces the standard hboot with a special engineering hboot, that removes a lot of security. One of the things it does is allow you to use fastboot commands to flash things like rRadios and splash screens.
If you have Eng S-Off, on the bootloader screen the first line will say
"ACE PVT ENG S-OFF"
and the hboot version is
HBOOT-0.85.2007
If you have this version, you have the engineering hboot (or bootloader) and should be able to flash a splash screen.
If it says "ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF" then you only have Radio S-Off, which allows you to flash custom ROMs, but not to flash anything that uses the fastboot.exe to flash, such as radios and splashes.
If you don't have Eng S-Off yet, check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=855403
(You don't need to run Visionary before the tool if you already have a custom ROM with root.)
But be careful if you have an Inspire 4G (as opposed to a Desire HD), as the Eng S-Off method causes issues with some newer Inspires.
Oh. Mine says ace pvt ship s-off.
I assumed I had done everything when I used the ace hack.
I assume I have DHD lol

Thanks for the link ) made my DHD ENG S-OFF in seconds.. Now i can apply some splash screens
you are a star.
Excellent, glad you got it working. Have fun customising your phone even more!
BTW the Inspire 4G is a variant of the DHD made by HTC for the AT&T network, and I'm sure you'd know if you had an Inspire rather than a DHD. They're almost the same phone, but there are just a few minor hardware differences. Many ROMs are made to work on both models, so a lot of the Inspire users frequent the DHD forums as well as the Inspire ones, and I always like to just double check in cases where the technical advice might vary.
Dum question but what differences between the two are there?
If you know that is lol.
Or a way I can check.

In most important ways they're identical. The biggest difference is that the Inspire 4G has an AT&T logo on the back.
The Inspire also has more internal memory, but it can only access the same amount of RAM as the DHD. I think there is also a small difference in the audio hardware, which is automatically detected by most custom ROMs during initial flashing, so that the correct sound files can be installed.
Plus the Inspire has (I think) a different transmitter, due to the differences between the worldwide 3G networks and the AT&T one in the USA:
DHD:
HSPA/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
http://www.htc.com/www/smartphones/htc-desire-hd/#specs
Inspire 4G:
HSPA+: 850/1900 MHz
GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
http://www.htc.com/us/products/inspire-att#tech-specs
Then there's the Telus DHD sold in Canada (and possibly NZ?), which I think is like an Inspire but with the same amount of RAM as the standard DHD. Confused yet?
http://www.telusmobility.com/en/BC/htc_desire_hd/index.shtml
Just adding my. 2 cents.
Both the inspire and dhd are the same outside of the 3g frequencies and inspire having a dual Mic plus. Everything else is eseentially the same with sutle difference like the audio files and touchscreen(atmel vs synaptics)
The internal memory looks to be more on the inspire but its not its just how att markets it. The phone has 4gb rom, BUT only 1.5 is user accessible just like the dhd. So technically its not lying just spinning the truth.
Thanks for the input.
I checked mine its definetly a DHD not inspire )
Won't of mattered but good to know I have what I paid for.
Thanks guys.

Just a quick question. After flashing ARHD and RcMIX and cyanogen rom im stuck with the kernal from RcMix now im on cyanogen it is not running to smooth.
How do I go about including the kernal for each rom?
As I thought the roms included them.
I do complete wipe but still doesn't remove.
Thanks for any info and help

Roms do include the kernal or they wouldn't boot. If the old kernal stayed your phone wouldn't of booted up on cm. Maybe it was a bad flash? When you wipe did you do a full? Data/system/cache/dalvik?
Also why do you feel it didn't remove it? In about phone what's it say for kernal?
I did actually think they contained them. I did a cache-dalvik wipe also using ARHD super wipe. In phone info says Rcmix kernal etc.
Maybe it has not updated the info.
I actually think it is the radio affecting the wifi.
As I have not changed this from the original radio as im scared of bricking the DHD

Hmm that's interesting. I would say rewipe and flash again. Also for cm I personally recommend lordclockans kernal.
To flashing radios its not as scary as it seems but caution should be taken. If you do decide to flash a new radio just make sure to check the md5sum for file inegrity
I just got two of these for each of my boys and I want to root and rom them. I have rooted and rom'd mine and my wifes Galaxy SII's so I understand the process in general. The issue with me on this is I don't exactly know what to pick with this older phone!
They currently have 2.2 on them. I wanted to update it but since they are only going to use them as 'play' devices and not as talk devices. The ROM I put on them doesn't have to have all the bells and whistles I suppose. I doubt I need ICS unless it has obvious benefits like battery life and whatnot.
EDIT: I don't have extra SD cards and I'm reading I need them to make a Goldcard thing. Is there away around this?
HBoot versions of 1.06, which means I can't use Revolutionary. I'm looking at AlphaRev right now but that one seems complicated.
UPDATE. Tried unrevoked3 and got the failed root, firmware too new error. What's the next best for hboot 1.06?
Becoming not worth my time. They are only going to play games on these things...I don't want to buy a couple sdcards for these to do the goldcard thing. It appears that I have to downgrade to 2.1 and then do unrevoked. I just really wanted to remove bloatware more than anything...Also, it's a US Cellular branded phone, if that means anything.
You can use revolutionary. If your hboot version is 1.06, then that means you have a CDMA Desire. Select HTC Desire CDMA on the revolutionary page, and s-off your device.

Well that explains a bunch! Thanks!
Ran Revolutionary but I have to get an sd card before I continue I suppose.
The SD cards will come in handy since the phone lacks adequate internal memory. You'll want to set up apps to sd somehow or I bet the kids have the phone full the first day. I used link2sd from the Play store with CM7.

Hi, I suggest to use CyanogenMod 7.2.0.1 Stable INT2SD-S by Proz0r, read carefully the instruction and check about CMDA issue. You will have plenty of space for apps and games!

I would use last nightly-Build.
there are no new features, only (sometimes important) Bugfixes.
