[Q] question about hboot

On my Inc2:
I Clipped s-off.. then I ran revolution.
Is there a way to reload hboot. 0.97 to get back to my original hboot?
That leads into my noob htc question... How does the hboot relate to kernels and RUUs, etc.?
is hboot untouchable for the most part?
Thanks

In the case of Revolutinary, a modified hboot is written to the phone that has the S-Off turned off. So if you replace the Revolutionary hboot, you will lose S-Off. The XTC clip process turns the actual hardware S-Off and the standard HTC hboot reads that setting, so that is why clipping gives you permanent S-Off. In your case you did not need to run Revolutinary at all. All that the process did was copy the modified hboot to your phone. Since you have radio S-Off you should be able to replace the Revolutionary hboot with the 0.97 hboot without any issues. Someone please correct me if I am mistaken.

http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?t=1766 is what you want.
hboot is the bootloader.
kernel is well, the kernel. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel explains it better
RUU stands fr ROM Updater Utility, does exactly what it says.

Checked out that link... it was talking about going back to froyo and such.
From what you said.. all I should need is the part for hboot.. correct?
It was also talking about a different checksum for GB?
Just wanted to make sure before I try this.
thanks!!

IIRC, flashing the bootloader is the single most dangerous thing you can flash and can definitely brick your phone. Make sure you understand the risks!

[Q] Get back S-ON with RUU?!

Hello there,
To day I'm getting S-OFFed I am sooo happy, but now I have questions.
Is the S-OFF for ever? If I flash with the RUU will it lock my device? Can I unwanted lock it with experimenting with roms?
Thanks a lot

It is forever man, don't worry

As mentioned in another thread since S-OFF/Unlocking my Wildfire S A510E with my XTC Clip I have performed two full RUU upgrades including hboot and radios.
S-OFF is still there. Perhaps other's results have varied...
Check out my signature to see what I'm up to and still S-OFF.

been out for a while and want to install a new ROM again

hi guys,
In the past I used XDAdevelopers forum to install a custom ROM.
I own a HTC Desire and I have the following installed.
Android version : 2.3.3
HTC Sense version 2.1
Radio version 32.47.00.32U_5.10.05.23
Kernel version 2.6.35.10-g308ba26
Build number 2.36.405.8
Software number Reflex S 2.0.9 Lite A2SD+
It was quite easy to install new ROM's and I am curious if I have to be aware of new things like S-OFF and S-ON where I am reading about, or is that only for newer hardware?
I am having problems with my battery (also with my replacement) so I want to try to update my phone again.
If you have any hint, please let me know. In the meanwhile I will try to find out which radio/ROM/Kernel update I have to do.

hi, click the All Things Root Guide in my sig. loads of info there

Thanks jmcclue, a lot of useful information.
But the problem is that I already passed all those steps with installing the custom ROM on my Desire.
The only thing that is hard to find in all the manuals that are written, if I have to do something additionally now despite the Desire has already been rooted.

what does it say in ur bootloader menu?
turn off the phone and then hold volume down + power
and post what it says

Question! Does Revolutionary recommend to use a rom that doesnt implement any a2sd or data2sd scripts like Alpharev? That might be something he needs to consider before going S-Off (which I would recommend as well)

hmm good point batman. i know that revolutionry works even if ur rooted, but i honestly never thought bout if a2sd or data2sd scripts would affect it. after reading everything before i never came across it, it was never mentioned in any guides or that so i just assumed that it does'nt. will have to look into it more. thanks.
@ OP dont use revolutionary yet and il try find out more and u could search a bit too

Reason I asked is because alpharev had that as a requirement. Just to be on the safe side. Not sure about revolutionary since I never had to go back S-ON lol

after some googling i couldnt find anything to suggest that revolutionary wont work with an a2sd script, but after searching "Software number Reflex S 2.0.9 Lite A2SD+" that is a custom rom so that revolutionary will not work, revolutionary only works with official stock htc rom (rooted or not rooted) cheers stankyou, you learn something new everyday

I'm confused. Last week I S-OFFed my colleague's Desire on a custom ROM with A2SD (Insertcoin I think) with Revolutionary. Only S-OFF because his Desire was already rooted obviously.

cool, thanks for the info, i suppose it will work so. i guess as long as ur hboot is the same as what revolutionary requires it should work. its just strange that from what i found, basicaly u needed stock htc desire rom, rooted or not. if it worked for u then i guess it works

Thanks jmcclue, but do I need it? Or is it in the requirements of new ROM's that you will need S-OFF?

i suppose u can still flash some roms but s-off is better coz u can change hboots, and get more memory and install custom recovery if things go wrong lol. theres a few roms now that come with INT2SD and ul need CM7r2 hboot for them and basicaly uv a better choice of roms and theres just alot more u can do with ur phone with s-off.
