1. No idea.
2. No idea, but I'm using 0.85 as well.
3. I don't believe you need to update hboot.
4. Personally, I'd be afraid of bricking my phone if I messed with hboot.
5. No idea.
Is there a reason you want to update hboot?

1. Reason for the request to update your hboot?
2. Depends on your carrier.
3. There is no reason to update hboot separately.
4. Answer point 1 first
5. hboot-Versions comes easily with Stock-RUU
On the classic Desire we changed the hboot for new partition tables.
But i can't see any reason to change hboot on the DHD/Inspire 4G.
Kindly Regards

There's a link that explains hboot.
You can get one from clearD's thread over the inspire section. You need to clear cache (or dalvik) before flashing. It's for the inspire. Would it work for the dhd, no idea.

Assuming ur s-off then download the rom u want, make sure u have the correct hboot for it and sdcard is partitioned to suit the rom then boot into recovery do a full wipe then install zip from sdcard. I had to do it this way many times coz my laptop only connects to my phone when it can be bothered lol

Is it there? Lol u tell me. U can partition ur sdcard with 4ext recovery (if ur s-off) or use gparted. Most roms will require u to have exr3/4 partition bout 1-1.5gb.

RUU = rom upgrade utility is a program who can restore/upgrade your RUU. And HBOOT is the same as POST in windows.

Freezing ICS/JB during starting after flash

Hi,
first - sorry for poor English..
second - after trying to install some ROMs, e.g.:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1627448&highlight=freeze
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1827934
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1850436
after rebooting the phone freezes on starting animation, after 15 +/- minutes reboots and it repeats forever...
any idea? is it size problem? (all ROMs are over 130MB..?)

HTC Sense 2.3 and forgot to change your hboot?
Which ROM are you actually use?
Did you install official 2.3 HTC Sense ROM using RUU after trying to install some ROMs? I think yes, because your Desire is S-ON. Did you change hboot to downgrade before you run RUU?

Currently using MIUI 2.3.7, so I didnt install official HTC Sense. No downgrade of Hboot - which version should I need? I can normally flash all 2.3.7 ROMs (CM7, MIUI,AOPK..)

So... I do not know why your Desire is S-ON (as I wrote in my previous post) and I think this is the reason. You should S-OFF your phone, I think... ;P

His phone has unlocked bootloader from htcdev, so he's still s-on.
Almost all of these roms require a sd-ext partition on sd-card and you didn't wrote anything about having it. Plus for that kind of stuff working properly I think that you need s-off, so jump to downgrading of hboot and running Revolutionary tool.

Hi, so I made:
1) downgrade Hboot --> s-off
2) new sd-ext partition on sd-card (1Gb / 0swap)
it works

Preparing Phone for warranty - Removing custom rom /eng-off r-off etc

I Double checked with HTC ITALY and If I send my phone rooted etc then I will not pass through warranty.. soo I need to restore my DHD back to "stock" with root / radio / eng and all stuff back to original settings (and normal rom again).
From what I gathered my steps would be:
1. flash using the HTC program the original rom from their website
2. use visionary to reroot my phone?
3. One click Radio S-OFF tool to reverse that setting
But I'm kind of getting lost on the actual "steps" or sequence, and I'm worried I might brick my phone, could some one give me an updated guide, or just steps to do so I can do this correctly?
I'm sending it in because the home/menu buttons are broken (they lost all their touch sensibility, even under safe mode so its hw and not software).. ><
(i'm running s-off eng-off + Android Revolution HD 6.3.3 right now)
Thank you for your time.
Running the right RUU might do it.

After you solve this issue then do let me know .
Thanks

Just got my dhd from the warranty center yesterday.
I've had a eng s-off, root and unofficial rom (last - blackout ics).
Root and s-off have been obtained with a AAHK tool - so were obtaind and s-on + stock rom.

I have read some other posts who tried to run a ruu but apparently they still had unlocked bootloaders. Run an 1.72 ruu and use jkolo tool

Run the advanced ace hack kit. You'll get both stock rom and S-ON.

I've tried it.
I've sent my phone to the warranty center twice - using AAHK to get stock rom and s-on before it - no problem, the phone was repaired.
All u have to do is to read the instructions first, the process of getting stock & s-on is quite simple - u need to choose a ruu, then choose a CID (if u are going to get s-on) and also confirm u want to get s-on later. That's it.

Why dont you check it yourself. Just reboot to bootloader and take note of bootloader info. If it written " ace pvt eng/ship s-off" then you are s-off. Better confirm it to avoid problems that may occur during ruu..
