I feel like I ask a lot of these, but for being such a small thing, HBOOT is pretty complex.
So my first question is, in HBOOT, what is the difference between PVT and EVT1? I currently have 2 WFS and both are Marvelc. The HBOOT of the older Marvelc says:
Code:
MARVELC EVT1 SHIP S-ON RL
The other HBOOT says:
Code:
MARVELC PVT SHIP S-ON RL
The HBOOT of the older one is 1.09.0000, the HTCDev HBOOT for unlocking. The HBOOT of the newer phone is 1.10.0001, the bootloader from the newest FOTA update.
Another question I have is can 1.10.0001 be S-OFF'd or am I out of luck with S-OFFing my phone now? I know I can use bltool and superversion and what-not, but I've never had much luck with that.
Hboot questions
Yes, you can S-off Hboot 1.10 but Hboot 1.09 is better in my opinion. When I started flashing Roms with Hboot 1.10 and I would go back to stock my wifi would always show error and no one has figured that out yet. Best way to go back to Hboot 1.09 is to run football's RUU for the Marvelc, once it is running go to the temp folder and copy the ROM.zip wherever you want it. Close everything and then open the ROM.zip and extract the recovery, boot, system to the folder where fastboot is. Make sure you have USB debugging before turning off your phone. Turn off your phone, pull the battery out once it's off and put it back in, hold vol down and power, then highlight fastboot and do the following:
(if you are already rooted make sure you wipe the dalvik-cache before flashing and after flashing a factory reset)
Open Cmd prompt and do the following:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system.img
You will still have S-off and bootloader will be unlocked as well.
Now flash your custom recovery. Hope that helped out.

I used the goldcard method to S-off my 1.10 and have been able to do everything ive wanted with it aslong as it is MarvelC. But i would use TeamWin for recovery i had problems not being able to wipe completely with ClockMod. Good Luck!
Hey where can I find football's ruu?

YOU ARE Doing these well, if you flash ARev.HD later you can go back flashing an stok rom take this link for choose your OFFICIAL RUU...
http://xdafil.es/index.php?path=DesireHD/RUU/
but i think that if you taste a cooked rom you are not going back to RUU OFFICIAL ROM hahahah
CERTAINLY.. have you made HBOOT S OFF ENG-SPL????(its fully reversible flashing an stok rom) and It makes possible to recover the system of a bad flash recovery...
sorry for my bad english
What I think SERGI.3210 is trying to say, is that you need ENG HBoot or ENG S-OFF before you can flash radios.
Here are the threads you should read,
ENG S-OFF
RADIO S-OFF
I did not flash (well, I dont think I did) hboot and i don't now how to do this either the tekst in bootloader says this:
ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-0.85.0007
RADIO-26.03.02.26_M
eMMC-boot
How do I make HBOOT S OFF ENG-SPL and is their a way to check if I already have it?
And what does this do?

uups!!! thanks andyharney! i forgot to put that you need ENG S-OFF to flash radios!!
certainly... take this XDA´S LINK for go back to OFICIAL RUU:
http://xdafil.es/index.php?path=DesireHD/RUU/
Use the ENG S-OFF tool in the first link to get ENG S-OFF. Without this you cannot flash radio.img's via fastboot.
Once you have ENG S-OFF use the other link to get Radio S-OFF. The tools are very easy to use and 99.9999999999999999% safe.
I took another look at the article i used to root and it said this:
you will have permanent root (S-OFF), as well as subsidy unlock and SuperCID. At this point, you can also choose to flash the engineering hboot
If you don't want the engineering hboot, just reboot your phone. You can verify you have permanent root by holding volume down while powering on (you'll see S-OFF in the first line of the bootloader). You are now free to install a new recovery and start flashing custom ROMs. If you don't want to flash a new ROM, it's safe to uninstall the Visionary app at this point.
Does this mean i already have radio S-OFF?
Hi, i downloaded Virtuous 1.27, full wiped and flashed DZ in CWM 3.0.2.4. When i reboot my phone begins boot but restart and boot in Recovery mode. I can setup other ROM. What i did wrong?
it sounds like you have the G2 hboot installed and you need the DZ hboot to use this ROM.
To check which you have boot in to the bootloader and on the top line it will say either
0.76.2000 which is the G2 hboot
or
0.84.2000 which is the DZ hboot
If you have the G2 hboot you will need to follow the instructions here to flash the DZ hboot.
thanks for fast answer, i also thought, but if i have CWM installed i boot in CWM. How i can check which one hboot i have?
Turn your phone completely off then press volume down and power at the same time to boot into the the bootloader.
Or if you have adb installed plug you phone in and type adb reboot bootloader
i have 0.82.0000 hboot
when you rooted did you install the eng hboot?
can you post exactly what it says when you go in to the bootloader.
Vision pvt ship s-off
hboot-0.82.0000
microp-0425
radio-26.06.02.27_M
eMMC-boot
and other menu stuff.
I dowloaded zip file in post that you given. whithin zip file is hboot 0.82.0000
sorry for broken english
I thought that the hboot included in the PC10IMG.zip was 0.84.2000.
But your correct in the zip is the 0.82.0000. I have just asked RMK if this is correct.
might flash anyway? Or what i can do more?
You should be safe to flash. Just follow the instructions carefully
thanks a lot to you cjward23
I've done a lot of reading and see where Alpharev has a hboot downgrader but does this work with CDMA version BravoC?
I rooted using Revolutionary after having hboot 1.06 for a USCC Desire. Phone is out of standard warranty but I need to send phone in for repair under extended warranty. When I flash 2.2 RUU it cannot roll back hboot version.
Thanks!
I still haven't found anything. Thanks for the help.
what was your original Hboot number?
see alpharev page, if your model is supported try this -
flash HBOOT bravo_downgrader and right after that run appropriate RUU wich contains default hboot to protect extended warranty
as a result of this process you become S-ON again with stock Hboot
i think this may work even for CDMA version but i am not 100% sure
google it and you will find the answer
Here is about GSM Desire...
Actually I just use revolutionary to s-off my phone and it work. I test several new ROMs right now, then I try to flash stock ROM back when found this thread. I can flash the RUU HTC Froyo successfully. but...
the hboot is not overwritten. it still revolutionary. I am very sure the stock ROM I use contain hboot. because I can see it upgrade my hboot from 0.8.000 to 0.93.0001 during I flash this ROM before I s-off it yesterday.
revolutionary claim that we can get the original hboot if we flash stock ROM that contain hboot but it not working for me. maybe you need to tell them about this.

[8]STILL S-OFF AFTER RUU
"I want to return my phone for warranty, I used a RUU but I'm still S-OFF"
Cause:
- Alpharev's Hboots are write protected, so that they can not be overwritten by a RUU
HOW TO S-ON
METHOD 1#
[STEP1]- Visit Alpharev and download the "Downgrader"
[STEP2]- Flash the downgrader over fastboot. This can be done with Android Flasher, cmd, or fastboot commander (Note: android flasher is the only program that does not require third party software such as Android SDK or Java JDK)
[STEP3]- You should now notice the title on the bootloader screen is "Alpharev Unlock", run the RUU again and you will have S-ON'd your device.
#METHOD 2#
[STEP1]- Instead of running the RUU again, and putting your phone at risk once more, you can simply upgrade just the bootloader manually, with the PB99IMG.zip method.
[PHASE1]- we need to extract rom.zip from the RUU.
[P1/STEP1]- Run the RUU (BUT DO NOT PLUG IN YOUR PHONE OR CONTINUE), move it to the side as it cannot be minimised.
[P1/STEP2]- go to start menu, and use the "run" feature. Type in %temp%
[P1/STEP3]- select "date modified" to "today" (to make it easier to find). There are should now be 2 folders with long names of random characters.
[P1/STEP4]- search the folders for rom.zip and extract it to the desktop.
[P1/STEP5]- delete everything EXCEPT "hboot_8x50_0.93.0001_20100810.nb0" and "android-info.txt"
[P1/STEP6]- rename the zip to PB99IMG.zip (make sure it is not PB99IMG.zip.zip)
[PHASE2]- now we need to update the bootloader
[P2/STEP1]- put the file in the ROOT of your sd-card (not in any file or folder) and boot into bootloader (poweroff, hold VOLUME DOWN and POWER). After a few seconds, you will be prompted to update bootloader. Select Yes. DO NOT INTERRUPT THE PROCESS, OR YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE.
[P2/STEP2]- Once the process is finished, you will now be S-ON.

Hi again!
I was trying to Root my Desire Z but I made a horrible mistake - flashed Engineering HBoot for T-Mobile G2 instead of one for Desire Z (I guess it makes a difference) and now my phone stucks at boot. I can go into fastboot mode and into recovery. I think I need to flash correct HBoot, but I have no idea how. So, could you give me steps how to make my phone booting again? I hope it is possible.
Edit:
Ahm, I don't know if it's important, but I made a gold card in this phone while I was downgrading software.
You can flash either bootloader but the DZ one is often preferred as it has a larger system partition
can you write down current info from bootloader screen here
