[Q] Overwriting AlphaRev X Boot with Stock HBOOT

I've successfully set S-OFF for my HTC Wildfire using AlphaRev X Beta after doing these steps:
1- Downgraded HBOOT version from 1.01.0002 to 1.01.0001 (My Arabic based stock HBOOT version didn't work with AlphaRev X)
2- Using AlphaRev X Beta tool to set S-ON to S-OFF
3- Doing backup for ROM and Bootloader
4- Installing ClockWorkMod custom recovery
5- Doing stock ROM Nandroid backup.
6- Installing custom ROM: CM7
For some reason, I'd like to perform a complete stock factory reset, thus, I got the following:
1- Original HTC Wildfire 2.2.4 RUU (Arabic Locale): "RUU_Buzz_Froyo_HTC_ARA_2.37.415.1_Radio_13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10_release_166943_signed.exe"
2- Extraction of the existing RUU EXE file for rom.zip extraction.
3- Stock HBOOT 1.01.0002: "hboot_7225_1.01.0002_101227.nb0", extracted from stock rom.zip
The Question is: 1- How can I revert back to the original Wildfire for both: Stock ROM, Stock Recovery and Stock HBOOT?
Current HBOOT version: AlphaRev 6.01.1022 HBOOT
This means that installing RUU directly will fail as current HBOOT v. 6.01.1022 is too newer (apparently) than the included 1.01.0002 with the package.
In a question to the AlphaRev X Developer team, I only get one answer to overwrite HBOOT and it was:
Code:
fastboot oem mb 9C068490 1 30
fastboot flash hboot hboot_buzz_7225_1.01.0001.nb0
I'm not sure of those commands at all and I'm afraid doing those to brick my android.
2- I'd like also to know when should I use those fastboot commands?
3- Should I remove clockworkmod to do the fastboot commands?
4- What will happen to the bootloader and the custom ROM after executing those commands?
5- Can anybody explains what does the command fastboot oem mb 9C068490 1 30 mean?
I think all I need is just to overwrite HBOOT with stock one then perform the normal RUU from PC, so I just need help with this point!
I'm very appreciated for your help!

Afaik there's no way to get hboot 1.0 back yet.

Interesting, this probably implies a downgrader wont be needed!
I cant understand by "when" you should. The answer is obviously when you need to get your Stock HBoot! But, I would recommend you remove your Custom ROM and Clockworkmod before you attempt to restore your Stock HBoot. The Stock HBoot doesnt support Custom Recoveries and ROMs, and may lead to issues. Both can be removed by simply flashing any Wildfire RUU, which will restore your Stock ROM, Stock Recovery, but not your Stock HBoot.
Once that is done, follow the 2 commands given to you. But, I would recommend you to extract the HBoot from WWE Froyo 2.22.405.1, since it seems the commands are specifically for that HBoot. Not the 2.37 Arabic one you have extracted. While it should work with the Arabic ROMs HBoot, I wouldnt take chances.
For Fastboot commands, you will need the Fastboot and ADB Binaries for Windows. You can get them here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14693680
Then, place the nb0 file in the folder where you have placed your Fastboot binary, Open Command Prompt, Browse to it, and execute the commands. The first command obviously is some sort of command which allows "downgrading" of the HBoot.
Disclaimer Note - What all I have written above are from my understanding of your post. HBoot flashing is a very sensitive process, and, I am not responsible if you brick your phone.

Thanks 3xeno for the quick reply. I meant by when was in your reply (Firstly I have to restore stock recovery and stock ROM using the RUU then using fastboot commands).
I understand also that RUU I should use to restore stock recovery and ROM must have the HBOOT.nb0 removed in order not to get any HBOOT error during this process, is that true?
In another way, will the AlphaRev X HBOOT 6.01.1022 with S-OFF allow running stock recovery and stock ROM without needing to overwrite the HBOOT (some would prefer to overwrite to stock HBOOT for warranty stuff... etc)?
And my original stock ROM was Arabic based one, so the commands above won't work with me? (Note that second line will be hboot_7225_1.01.0002_101227.nb0 as from my information that HBOOT 1.01.0002 supports locale options.
Thanks!

First restore the stock things and then use those fastboot commands. You can also restore stock things (except hboot) from fastboot flashing or pc49img process.

I think some people even used ruu without removing hboot.nb0 (just for rooting after alpharevx). But I haven't done it (not willing to get back to stock). For me alpharevx s-off and cm7 are more than enough. And you can also remove nb0 file from rom.zip and use the rom.zip with pc49img process to get back to stock things except hboot.

You need to really have clarification before doing this. Better contact the team again.
You have got 2 fastboot commands right. I think the 1st command may be specific to hboot 1.01.0001. . This needs to be clear. And also confirm whether it can be flashed on wildfire with previous Arabic based stock rom. I think better to use WWE stock rom to restore stock recovery and os. Then using hboot 1.01.0001.nb0 from wwe ruu.
NOTE : I'm not responsible for any brick of your phone. I just tried to make things clear.

- No, it is not necessary to remove the HBoot file from an RUU before flashing it. You can normally flash an RUU on your AlphaRev S-OFF'ed Wildfire. It will not touch the HBoot, but, it will remove your Custom Recovery and Custom ROM.
- Yes, AlphaRev will allow you to run with Stock recovery and Stock ROM. This is exactly what happens immediately after you complete running AlphaRev X. Your phone has a new HBoot, but the Recovery and ROM are untouched. (Which is why you have to follow additional procedures to get Custom Recoveries and ROMs)
- The above commands *should* work for you, provided you replace the values with the appropriate one, but, I am not too confident in you doing that because AlphaRev didn't support all versions of HBoot 1.01.0002, and, I think the Arabic official ROM was among them. Which is why I am suggesting you follow the above commands with the WWE 2.22.405.1 HBoot. In any case, after that, you will have a Stock Recovery, ROM, and HBoot, and you can again run the Arabic RUU as normal, and get back your phone in your stock condition, with the Arabic locales, and on version 2.37

Last Question
Thanks everyone for the quick and effective answers, I decided to perform an installation of stock RUU (Recovery and ROM) with AlphaRev X HBOOT 6.01.1022 without needing to overwriting HBOOT version (except if I need to get help from HTC Support - warranty purposes ).
Yes, the first step after setting S-OFF is that I get a stock ROM and recovery before trying to get custom recoveries and ROMs, but what I have used was WWE ROM which was included in the guide
Last question is: After installing stock ROM and Recovery over patched S-OFF HBOOT 6.01.1022, is it possible to overwrite it with stock HBOOT 1.01.0002 in the future using fastboot commands, or it won't go through because stock ROM/recovery are not rooted?
Thank you!

It should go through, because Fastboot is a function enabled by the Bootloader (HBoot). The Recovery / Root has got nothing to do with it.

Nvm...
Presently Fastboot flashing on wildfire is a feature of alpharevx hboot s-off only. It should be there as long as alpharev hboot is there.

it works!!!! my gosh! back to original h boot 1.01 WWE FROYO extracted

Is S-ON comes back? If not, it still will not have warranty.

Yes. S-on is back.

Well if overwriting hboot with fastboot is possible. then why not overwrite it with
HBoot 0.08.0008 so if you want, one can use Unrevoked to gain s-off in the future no matter what version of Rom you are using. (possible)???
As long as you have alpharevX s-off to start with..

I will try... later

You have to extract the ROM.zip from the RUU's EXE file. Anyway, I have attached it from the WWE 2.22.405.1 RUU. Remember to unzip/rename before use.

[Q] Flash back the original rom

I'm using oxygen 2.1.6 with hboot oxygen r2, s-off & rooted.
If i want to flash back to original rom with boot sound enabled, what should i do first?
Because i'm planning to sell my desire.
Could someone give me to original rom link & suggest one?
I see there are many versions. Thanks. Good day.

Is your phone a branded one?
If not, use the latest WWE RUU from fastboot.
Get it here.
Also, because you are using the never alpharev HBOOTs, you need to download their DOWNGRADER first from alpharev.nl
This file: Bravo Downgrader
So Step 1 : Flash Downgrader
Step 2: Flash RUU from fastboot.

Thanks for your reply. My phone is unbranded.
Any command to flash the RUU from fastboot? Coz' i never done before
After flashed this RUU, does the phone become S-ON & Unrooted?
I'm planning to flash hboot bravo stock 250|40|147 and flash Froyo Rom which quite similar to stock one. Leave it rooted & s-off. Any idea which ROM? Thanks.

Nothing. Download the .exe file then boot your phone into fastboot, plug USB and run the RUU from your PC.
It is recommended to flash the DOWNGRADER, not the alpharev stock, because there is a possibility, you will still have S-OFF if you don't flash the downgrader.
So, if you want it unrooted and S-ON: then the Downgrader from alpharev must be flashed.
Well if you want to leave it S-OFF & Rooted - then I'd suggest:
Leedroid 2.5.
Alternatively : Rooted Stock

again, thanks +1

[Q] Simple? Hboot problem

Flashed the stock hboot on the alpharev site.
Wanted to flash a data++ rom so downloaded the oxygen hboot, md5-ed compared, and flashed.
Appararently from what my bootloader says my hboot cannot be downgraded now.
So my question:
In order to flash the oxygen hboot, do I need to flash the bravo downgrader available on the alpharev site prior to flashing the oxygen hboot?
Many thanks in advance.

Well I Changed mine from Cm7r2 to Oxygenr2 without the downgrader a few weeks back.
But i'd give a try flashing the downgrader first, then the oxygen Hboot.
If you want to flash the older oxygen HBOOT (not the current on Alpharev's site - that's Oxygen_r2) then you definitely need the downgrader.

i dont know how you exactly flash it, i personaly reccomend android flasher 1.8
you need to enter fastboot and start AF program, then you choose to flash hboot and thats it,
you dont need to flash downgrader in case you wanna change your current hboot
downgrader need to be flashed when you want to return S.ON before executing official RUU for example froyo RUU 2.29.405

I thought the easiest way how to flash hboot is via adb. I did it many times without any problem
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

yeah, 100 people 100 solutions
for me the best and easiest way is via android flasher, never try via adb so i cannot compare

Yea I used ADB to flash. and it shows on the command prompt that "UPDATE BYPASSED" and the bootloader that the hboot cannot be downgraded. and hence the question.
Thanks for the feedback everyone =) Would try the downgrader method a day or what from now and post the results back.

Personally I use fastboot to flash everything.. that's how I learnt and that's the way I'll stick too
you can use either command prompt or fastboot commander (I'd recommend, lots of good features and has never failed) or android flasher (never used before but hear good things)

Here's what I did:
1)fastboot flashed downgrader hboot
2)reboot bootloader
3)sucessful flashed oxygen r1 hboot without update bypassed showing
4)profiting from data++ now =)
thanks all for the feedback again. really appreciate it. =)
problem solved.

[Q] How to find what HBoot?

Hi
I have successfully rooted and s-off'ed my HTC Desire using the guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016084
But im confused by HBOOT and ROM's having CM7 and A2SD versions. I initially flashed the insertcoin ROM using the A2SD version and then decided to try SGBS again using the A2SD version. But am I safe to use the CM7 version? How do I know what HBOOT i have on my phone? If I boot holding down the volume etc i see HBOOT 0.93.0001.
I understand CM7 stores some files on the internal memeory so im thinking things might be slightly quicker if i use the CM7 version ROMS.
Thanks

Did you ever flash a hboot via fastboot? If not, you are on stock hboot.

To flash from Your phone via zip you need the pb99img.zip. just make sure you read the steps on the alpharev web site ad you need to rename the file and check the md5

Either download the PB99IMG file from AlphaRev, rename to PB99IMG.zip, place it at the root of your sdcard and flash via bootloader. Or download the IMG file, enter fastboot mode and connect to your computer, then use fastboot flasher or the likes of it or use fastboot flash hboot "name of img" in command prompt.
Eg. To flash CM7r2 hBOOT via command prompt just connect the phone to your computer in fastboot mode, 'fastboot devices' to ensure your phone is recognized and then 'fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl-cm7r2.img'.
Sent from my HTC Original Desire with Beats Audio using Tapatalk

When you enter fastboot mode, youve got your hboot written at the top of the screen (if it says "alpharev" its stock hboot, just s-offed).
Edit:
If you havent flashed any hboot except for having your phone s-offed, you should have stock hboot then. You can change your hboot easily by using android flasher (you can download it from: http://deltaxent.com.au/af/download.php?device=desire), youve got to be in the fastboot mode and have all needed drivers.
And, to be clear, hboot doesnt make any I/O operations faster, it just partition your internal memory for a different parts of a rom (simplified explanation and im not completely sure of that).

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

If your bootloader says hboot 0.93.0001, you're on stock boot.
Also, if you would be on any other, it would be clearly stated in your bootloader (cm7r2 instead of 0.93.0001). I'm on stock myself, but asked the same question couple of days ago .
Sent from my HTC Runnymede using XDA App

Thanks for all the advice and help. I'm going to stick with stock for now.

you might not, because you see, different ROMs need different HBoots. Most work with the stock one, but many require the CM7 r2 too.

Bravo with SHIP S-OFF unable to flash with fastboot

Hi all, after reading through several tutorials including Bortak's and asking questions in chat rooms, I finally felt like I need to reach out for help on the forum. I have a HTC Desire that was hanging on white HTC screen and had no recovery. I have flashed with AlphaRev HBOOT and it now shows the following in Bootloader:
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.93.1002
MICROP-031d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.17.05.23
I have tried flashing CWM recovery but when I try to load recovery from the Bootloader it just vibrates 7 times and then vibrates. I just want to get the phone working again, but I am not sure what I need to do or what ROM/RUU I need to use. Also, when I try to flash from fastboot it gives me: "FAILED (remote: not allowed)"
Is this something to do with SHIP S-OFF and not ENG S-OFF. I think getting recovery working is the first step but I am lost.
Any help would be highly appreciated.

what did u, or were u trying to do before this happened?

I bought the device like this with SHIP S-OFF. It was fine, and then it started hanging at the white HTC screen, and would only boot up correctly once every handful of times. I assumed the ROM was unstable and wanted to flash a stable version of CM 7. However when I realised that there was no recovery I resorted to Fastboot. I then flashed an RUU zip (gingerbread) via fastboot and now it wont start at all, instead it keeps restarting. I have flashed CWM via fastboot to try and get recovery working but when I select recovery from bootloader it just vibrates 7 times.
My objective now - just to get the phone working again

when u hold volume down + power, what hboot is in the bootloader? (pink at top) also u could tried android flasher or the PB899IMG method to install recovery.

The pink at the top is "--- Alpharev ---". I did try to use Android flasher to flash recovery in fastboot mode but it says I need ENG bootloader or something.

oh rite. im not really sure im afraid, but i think u will have to use the bravo_downgrade.img from Alpharev or the PB99IMG_downgrade if u cant use fastboot commands then run a ruu. i think when u tried the ruu and it failed it was because ur hboot is 6.93.1002 which cant be overwritten by an ruu. The ruu to use would be the exact 1 for ur phone - devise, brand, region ect or use the 2.3 upgrade which is for all and can be found at HTCDev/ kernel source code/ see downloads/ filter by device (desire) below check other then find files, then ul see 2.3 ruu upgrade..
just wait and maybe some1 can confirm this first before trying it or if they have an answer

check out bortak's guide. for what i know (since surfing xda), it is wrong to flash a ruu while you have a 'custom' hboot (the hboot is very important. you can see what hboot you have on the pink line. in fastboot screen. is it Alpharev Data++, Alpharev cm7r2?) but, as long as the screen of the phone is 'alive', there's always a solution.

It's not a problem to run RUU if you have custom hboot as long as it have stock partition table. Just try to flash downgrade from alpharev site and then run RUU from your PC.

OK so I downgraded the HBOOT using the downgrader from AlphaRev, then I ran the RUU for Android 2.3, but it still wont boot up. White screen appears for about 10 seconds then keeps restarting. Also the same happens when I try to open recovery from Bootloader. After running the RUU my bootloader shows the following:
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-1.02.0001
MICROP-031d
RADIO-5.17.05.23
Any suggestions what to do next?

strange, when i used the downgrader (PB99IMG) it made me s-on then i ran the 2.3 ruu upgrade then used revolutionay to s-off. (dont ask why) lol
edit: when i used the 2.3 ruu i extracted the rom.zip and renamed it PB99IMG and ran it that way

I am not familiar with this method of running a RUU by flashing it as a zip from fastboot. The standard method is to execute the RUU.exe from PC while the device is in Fastboot mode. Could this be the root problem ?
