I have unbranded my vodafone htc desire and upgraded to froyo. Used goldcard for all that.
Now that vodafone 2.2 update is out I want to rebrand again. However I can not install the vodafone ruu 1.19.161.5. It says the bootloader is incorrect. It doesn't matter whether or not goldcard is inserted.
What do I need to do?
Thanks
Downgrade your bootloader...
Can you just point me in the direction of the right instructions to do that?
What bootloader you on now?
0.92, the one that comes with the latest wwe froyo rom.
I now downgrade the hboot to 0.80 by using PB99IMG.zip but I still get the same error. Anyone an idea?
is it possible to just apply the vodafone froyo update.zip?
Unfortunately not, just tried. Looks like verification passes but then installation aborts.
If you're now on the 0.80 HBOOT just run the Vodafone RUU without your goldcard and it should rebrand...tbh, there's no difference between the Vodafone and WWE FroYo ROMs so I don't see the point in going back (unless it's for warranty purposes)
Unfortunately it is not that easy.
I truely have hboot 0.80 (it says HBOOT-0.80.0000)
The Vodafone RUU gives me error 140, bootloader version error.
When I then pull out the usb cable the desire's screen says: "Main Version is older!"

Where did you get the RUU for the Vodafone froyo update?
Because it's not the already known:
OTA_Bravo_Vodafone_UK_2.10.161.2-1.24.161.3_releasejldotwm8uy2ohjmf.zip
That's merely the upgrade from 1.24.161.3 (someone still on Vodafone roms). If somebody is on the HTC unbranded Froyo rom, it will not upgrade that. You will need the full RUU.
There's the 1.19.161.x Vodafone RUU which you need to roll back to to then get the OTA update...

A roll back which would be prevented by the updated bootloader included with the non-branded HTC Froyo update.

Just to clarify things. I'm now on the stock android 2.1 Rom with hboot 0.80 and try to apply the Vodafone 1.19.161.5 RUU. That causes the bootloader version error.
Someone an idea?
You'll need to go back to 1.15.405.4 I think to get HBOOT 0.75 and then it should work. I don't know if this can be done though
It's not because of the bootloader, it's because you haven't done all of the downgrade steps - you need to apply the misc partition fix as well.
Unless you want to return your phone to Vodafone what you're doing will give you nothing extra, except possible future branding updates from Vodafone.

So, why not wait for the full RUU for the Vodafone Froyo update?

Vodafone have removed ALL branding/apps in their FroYo ROM due to a HUGE protest from Vodafone users on their official forum. It has a newer radio too (which is up in the Dev forum)
I know about the PR slip, but that's not to say that future OTA updates from Vodafone won't contain branding. The newer radio version might have some improvements over the current stock ROM, but of course these will be included into the next unbranded OTA update.
I have a branded (UK) Vodafone Desire that I loaded a stock Froyo ROM onto, now I need to get back to the branded Vodafone image (so I can return it for repair)
I have been trying to do this with the correct (Vodafone UK) RUU listed on thread 695667, but I keep getting a ERROR 140 : BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR.
I'm guessing this was because the HBOOT was 0.93, so I then successfully downgraded to Android 2.1 taking HBOOT back from 0.93 to 0.83 using the details in thread 768256.
My HBOOT is now 0.83 but the RUU still fails - same ERROR 140 : BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR.
So, is there a way to downgrade my HBOOT to 0.8 again (hoping that the RUU will work correctly with that version) ??
Or is there a way to extract the ROM image from the RUU exe and apply it using another method. ??
Thanks .. Ken
The problem is not HBOOT. Run the downgrade utility again, but -don't- install the downgrade in the bootloader (as described in the post), just select no, and then you can install the Vodafone RUU.
That worked a treat - thanks teppic74 !!
I have reverted to S-ON and am on Stock Hboot 0.75 however when flashing RUU none will install it would say main version is old or CID Update error I really need helpp what RUU shall I Flash as Shipped - Rom Site is down aswell....
have you done a gold card? tried 2.3.3 ruu from htcdev as you been told before?
Recently i have been looking into upgrading my Hboot for my One X from 0.94 to a new revision its a optus branded CID phone how does one upgrade or even what is the newest Hboot version.
I have been looking around the forums but everything i find is for upgrading to the JB Hboot which i can not do at this time.

Well the newest Hboot for ICS is 1.12.
If you backed up your stock rom just restore so you can get the OTA update to 2.17 that'll upgrade your hboot.
AFAIK there is no 2.17 RUU for Optus, I've tried searching myself.
hmm im currently on the newest Optus Ruu and its says there is no updates and my Hboot is 0.95 now >_< lol
Hello,
I want to install ViperX Custom ROM on my One X which I bought at Three UK.
I've seen I need HBOOT 1.36/1.39 in order to install ViperX, but If I were to update HBOOT I must have a compatible CID right?
However, my CID is H3G_001 and I haven't seen anyone mention it anywhere, can I actually update the HBOOT with this CID?
If I understood correctly only CID's supported are in the format HTC_xxx.
As well, is HTC_001 same as H3G_001 or is it completely different?
Thank you.

You can't update your hboot at the moment. Wait for the carrier to update your phone to JB OTA. Then you'll also get hboot upgrage.
HTC__001 is completely different from H3G__001.
