[Q] Latest ENG HBOOT for DZ

Ok, my search returned some stuff about ENG HBOOT, but not the answer to that question:
Where can i find the latest version of the ENG HBOOT for DZ?
Currently, my SHIP HBOOT is 0.85.0005, and the latest ENG HBOOT i found was 0.84. Is it ok to flash an earlier version of HBOOT?
Thank you!

As an additional question to the questions of Ninj, I am using a desire z with eng HBOOT for G2 (0.72). The phone works. To rectify my obvious error, is it safe for me to flash the correct eng hboot for desire z instead of utilizing the one for G2?
thanks

Looks like we've got no luck on this :|
I'm still wondering about it though. Anyone?

You didn't say anything was wrong with the hboot you already have so why try and fix something that's not broken?

Sorry, i though it was obvious
I need the ENG HBOOT for some advanced stuff i find here and there. But as my current HBOOT (ship) is .85, i prefer to find a HBOOT (eng) .85 too.
I found the .84 but i would prefer the .85
Thanks

The eng hboots almost certainly came from the development side of HTC. There are no later eng hboots available, and I think it's pretty unlikely we'll get any more.
Why worry about the version number ? The eng hboot is better than the "later" ship hboot, because it gives you extra functionality (e.g. fastboot).

True that.

Well, i was just afraid about an incompatibility between the ROM (.85) and the boot
But i'll install it then. Thanks.

You are right. I did not any more change the eng hboot. It works fine anyway and want it to stay that way. Good advice

S-OFF needed?

Hi all.
I'm all new to custom roms, rooting etc.
I just rooted my HTC Desire using unrevoked, and I want to flash the RunnyMede 4.5
Is it necessary to have S-OFF? I tried using alpharev hboot reflash utility, but it failed saying my phone wasn't supported or not recognized.
Best regards,
Yorba

Read the thread post, it will tell you what the requirements are

All important information are mostly written in the rom's thread.

I wouldn't bother as 4.5 has a few issues noted in the rom thread. I'd wait for 4.6

Okay, thank you for the heads-up.
I can't seem to find any information regarding S-Off in the rom thread though. In addition, I can post a reply on the thread because I'm new to this forum.

Also I was new to rooting and flashing until this summer. But I can strongly recommend alpharev's "AlphaRevX". This tool was extremly easy and quick to use. Have done S-off on 2 desire's with this tool without any promblems .

Wasn't alpharevX replaced by revolutionary?

Would say so.

I actually had to use revolutionary before I could even root my phone. My hboot wasn't supported by unrevoked (1.06 I think). Revolutionary is a great tool.

My bad rootSU, Your'e right. It was!

asaik you do not need to be s-off to use runnymed. But you need the right partition table to run this rom right. If your are still at stock you need to use Bravo CM7 r2 - see alpharev[dot]nl/ (not allowed for me to post links yet)

You just contradicted yourself. In order to change to the cm7r2 partition table you must be s-off.
Swyped from my CM7.1 Desire using XDA Premium App

Thanks for correcting me - just forget the fact that s-off is required when changing partition table

You dont need to s-off if you dont want to. Just run chaqmols rom converter script after you flash the rom.
edit: i justed flashed v4.9 without the rom converter and on stock hboot. runs perfectly. about 1.4gb internal memory.

It would be alot easier just to s-off though.

I got S-OFF which was very very easy and painless using Revolutionary!
I then flashed cm7r2 hboot and then Runnymede4.9, and everything is running smoothly!

Runnymede AIO V2.2 Xd2sdX for this you need to be s-off and using CM7/r2
Alex-V1.7 GB Sense HD ODEXED A2SD/DATA2EXT/Sense2.1+3.0+Mod/bravia Same again you need to be s-off
Droidzone has a 2.1 sense rom that work with stock Hboot.

Is there any way I can s-off except via linux?
What are the restrictions with s-on?
I'm still new to android world so please bear with me.

See my sig I used http://revolutionary.io/ 40 seconds to s-off, make sure htc sync isn't installed and you will need htc fastboot drivers http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/revolutionary
S-off gives you full root, so you can change Hboot to say cm7/r2 http://alpharev.nl/ witch give you more data, but allowing you to install data2ext and keeping dalvik cache on nand memory.
Just make sure you read into it.......you can brick your phone if you mess up.

Stuck, how to update

Hello!
this is my stats on my Desire:
Hboot 0.92.00001
S-on
Clockworkmod recovery 5 (partly working)
Root
My room have totally messed up and are bugging 24/7 so I wanted to flash some roms but all roms requires like 4ext and to get that I need to partition my sd card in someway, don't know how. I cannot flash 4ext recovery becuase of s-on and revoloutonary.io doesnt support my hboot.
What do I need to do
Cheers!
Thanks!

It should be 0.92.0001 not 0.92.00001 if it is the top one you can use revolutionary just fine, else use the pb99 method to flash recovery

what and what?? the "top"1 u r on bout is hboot 0.93.0001 and the other hboot is 1.02.0001 and to flash 4ext recovery u need s-off. click desire all things root guide and alpharev in my sig to learn about all
Sent from my HTC Desire

There is a hboot 0.92.0001 . A link http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=373800&d=1281012851
If that is so then revolutionary cannot be used. I dont know whether unrevoked will work on it. Maybe best option would be to run the 2.3 RUU. Thereafter use the revolutionary path. You can flash 4Ext thereafter.

[Q] S-off Bravo Hboot-0.80.0000

Hi everyone,
I have a HTC-Desire GSM:
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.80.0000
MICROP-031D
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.14.05.17
Cyanogenmod 7.2 (Android 2.3.7)
And I was trying to get 4ext recovery on it, because my current clowckwork can't flash all of the rom's I have been trying to flash.
But for that 4ext I need a S-OFF device so I tried making it S-OFF with AlphaRev, but my computer fail when I try booting it on that rom. After that I tried Revolutionary-0.4pre4, but that one says my device (Bravo with HBOOT 0.80.0000) is not supported at this time.
Can anyone say how to get my Bravo S-OFF or how to upgrade my HBOOT.
(already, thanks, just for reading this).

You need to run the 2.3 RUU to upgrade the hboot. Once you have updated to either 0.93 or 1.02 revolutionary should work fine.

How does your computer fail booting the rom? Did you follow the instructions accordingly? The livecd should work.
Also, you could try with a bootable usb instead of a cd.

Hey,
I have now official 2.3.3, but revolutionary doesn't work because of an invalid beta key (I tried everything, replacing all the 0's with o's and O's). And I can't do it with unrevoked because it gives me an error that my firmware is to new. I also tried Gingerbreak, but that doesn't do anything, just loading and saying it is rooting.
Do you have any other methodes?

Don't retype it. Just copy and paste it into command prompt.

Well, now that you flashed the 2.3 RUU, Revolutionary is the only way to go.

Succes!
