It seems like a lot of the issues that come up deal with the hboot is there a way to flash a hboot after its modified? Of completely format a phone and have it rebuild from a older image/RUU?
Are you in the right forum? Samsung doesn't use hboot/Ruu. Htc, however does.
Someone must be in the wrong place.

My has the issue of the "rising Screen" or Glass separation. Thinking that sprint would verify some information from my phone I updated the phone with the most recent RUU from sprint. This has given me:
HBoot .93.0000000
Android 2.2
Software: 3.26.651.6
Basband: 2.15.00.07.28
I have searched the forums, but I a not finding a root process for this version of the EVO, nor am I able to downgrade the Hboot to anything root-able.
Am I stuck for a little bit? Or is there a magical way to completely blank out the phone and start over with the shipped rom 1.39..
Thank you to all the Devs for the hardwork done so far.
Sprint would do nothing for the Glass separation, Since it is only cosmetic issue there was not thing to be done. I was given HTC's number.
lol prepare to be flamed. Find the RUU for 1.47 and try running that from fastboot mode. It won't work, but do it anyway and if it does work, post back here.
Next time, please do a search, or at least post questions in Q/A. This has been asked and answered a thousand times today.
lets turn this thread into face palm pics lol.
Im just busting your balls but nothing will fix your issue and sprint stores wont care.

Thanks for the Idea, I will try to give it a whirl. Sorry that I didn't place this in Q/A, most of the activity seems to be in the dev section. But I did mentioned that I searched, I was unable to locate anyone asking how to downgrade from .93 HBOOT to .76.000. I am new to Android so from time to time I will need assistance. I don't seem understand the requirement to ridicule users from asking a question. I highly doubt 1000 people posted the question about reverting from the latest RUU.
MODS this can be moved to the Q/A section.
I hope this isn't answered elsewhere, I did search... Honest!
I debranded my Desire a while back. I haven't rooted it but I was keen to get to 2.2. The debranding went fine but when I wanted to install the 2.2 update, I had issues. Turns out that I needed to keep my goldcard in whilst updating from SD card (which I'm sure you all knew already...).
So basically, I just want to know whether I'll need to use a goldcard for all future OTA updates? I put it back in for the most recent update just to be safe but it'd be a nuisance to be doing this every time there's an OTA update.
Use a custom ROM. No, really

Yes, you will. I suggest making your day to day sdcard into a goldcard as well.
Why don´t you want root ..?
its very simple with unrevoked

and also if you want original back..just flash a original ruu (and you can get official ota updates)
with kind regards..Alex
Moved to Q&A. Please don't post question threads in Development.
Sorry for posting in the wrong section. I was a bit unsure of the best place to post.
With regards to rooting, I'm so far very happy with the stock ROM and unless I see something that is too awesome to pass up that also requires root, I don't see a need to change. The less I flash it, the less chance I have of making a mistake and bricking my phone, no matter how simple the process has become!
For the time being, at least, I will make my day to day card into a goldcard. Thanks so much for the info guys, I knew I could count on this forum for a fast and comprehensive answer. Sorry again about posting in the wrong place
^^ Exactly this
I rooted originally but have now gone back to stock as everything I want to do can be done on the stock ROM. All these 'Just root' posts are pointless as not everyone wants to...
Htc desire pvt-4
S-ON
HbooT- 0.93

I have S-On and im flashing ROM's without any problems.
Oh god. Freakin' lazy people. Figure things out yourself. There is so much information around here. Do you even know how to boot in recovery? Or do you know what a recovery is?
I suggest you figure that out first. I don't get the feeling (while reading your post) that you understand what you are doing..

Chill out. OP has already asked the question in another (linked by armitage) thread, had it answered, BUT entered a time warp which led to the same question being posted again.

Oh sorry man, my fault. You are totally right.
I thought this was his main thread, you know. That he opened ANOTHER thread with the same question.
But still. The information regarding his question is on XDA. When you first come here, you have to read very much.
Not that I'm for a long time on XDA. I just joined. But I rooted, S-OFF'd, installed a custom HBOOT just by reading threads on this forum. You know what I mean? Threads like this just pollute a forum like XDA. But that's just my point of view.
I'm looking at different ROM's and some say you need this HBOOT or that HBOOT but to be honest I haven't got a clue about HBOOT's so I'm worried about messing up/bricking my phone.
I successfully S-Off'd a couple of days ago and on the recovery screen I noticed that my HBOOT had changed (see sig). Many of the ROM's I like state CM7 HBOOT but how do I know if I have the CM7 HBOOT or not? Also, if I do have it, or later flash it (if that's what you do with it), can I use other ROM's that don't need the CM7 HBOOT or will I have to "downgrade"?
Wrong section dude. This is dev section. Try in Q&A.
I have a feeling that this is the sort of thing that is meant to be posted in the questions and answers section of the forum.
You can see the HBOOT you have by booting into the bootloader by pressing the down volume key and the power button on your phone. It will say up the top in that menu. Always go with which HBOOT the developer of the ROM I want to use suggests, in my opinion.

Doh! Apologies for posting in the wrong forum. I was reading a thread in this forum and just forgot.
I'll repost.

This made my day!
Hi folks,
I have a HTC One M8 that is registered with HTCDev and also S-Off (courtesy of the awesome sunshine tool). In the settings app, I have a red text telling me this is now a test device and all my data are belong to HTC. (As someone posted here months ago.)
I am not sure if I want to cripple the Udove.apk because I'm concerned about the next OTA update. Is there a way to "unregister" with HTC or more technically, relock the bootloader without loosing S-Off? Is there a way to determine I have a stock hboot if I'm not sure if I messed with it in the process?
Thanks for reading
This really is just a follow-on of your other thread, so I don't know why you started a new one.
The phone will come up as a test device since its s-off. Relocking the bootloader won't change that, nor will it effect s-off.
Try to freeze the app with Titanium. Or remove it now, and revert to the stock ROM when its OTA time.

I did not mean to offend anyone, I was just thinking my question in this thread differed from the previous one and might not be found by the right people under the other title.

Thanks for clearing that up. I had so far been unable to figure out if this test device thing was connected to s-off, bootloader or both of them.

I could try Titanium, yes. Since my motivation to go all over several app setups is decreasing, I will avoid flashing as best as I can.

No worries, I was not offended. But you posed similar or related questions in your other thread, so IMO its redundant to start a new thread and ask them again.
Its pretty typical for additional questions to pop up during your thread as the issue evolves and the discussion progresses. But IMO no need to create new threads as that happens.
I have HTC M8 and I want to run custom rom but have this red text.. now I am s-off and rooted, so I can delete system apps.. which apps no I need to remove so it won't sent anything to the HTC?
Thank you very much for answers...
