I have a HTC Desire Bravo GSM.
Radio: 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
ROM: MIUI
Bootloader: 0.93.0001
Carrier: Vodaphone UK
I am trying to install this RUU: RUU_Bravo_Vodafone_UK_1.19.161.5_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126338_signed
While installing the ROM it gives an error relating to the the bootloader version. Do I need another RUU, if so which one? This is the only Vodaphone UK RUU I can find. If not do I need to upgrade Bootloader or downgrade it. (How?)
HELP!
First, tell us which type of hboot you are using (cm7r2, stock...).

Bootloaders cannot be downgraded.
Are you using one of alpharev's r2 hboots (cm7 or oxygen)? If yes, you have to flash bravo downgrade first, because these both new hboots are locked. This means they cannot be overwritten. After you have flashed bravo downgrade, try to flash ruu again.

How do I check which bootloader I have? and what do you mean by Bravo downgrade?
All I can see in fastboot is "hboot 0.93.0001" It doesnt say wether its Alpharev or stock?

Boot into bootloader and check first line. What's written there?
I mean if you have one of my named bootloaders, you have to download bravo_downgrade.img from here:
http://alpharev.nl
After flashing this via fastboot you should be able to flash ruu successfully.

What do you mean by flashing through fasboot. I know how to apply .zip updates from recovery but how do you do it through fastboot? Does it need to be connected to a PC, any pre requisites for this method? I can see their are steps mentioned on the link you posted but I don't understand step 3. If you can clarify I will be very thankful.
When I boot into hbbot and there are options like "fastboot" and recovery etc. On the first line it says HTC Bravo PVT1 SHIP S-ON ?

Forget the thing with fastboot. You are still s-on, so you cannot use it and so there is no need to explain this.
Try to flash this ruu:

Ohh I sort of get it now. The custom bootloader thingy can only be installed with S-OFF and I can only downgrade the bootloader with S-off which I don't have. So now I trying the RUU you mentioned. There are there vodaphone RUU's on the site. After trying all three, if they don't work, I have to S-off the device THEN run the Bravo downgrader and then flash any one of the three RUU's again, right?
Thanks for all the help man
Not so fast. Try to flash the latest ruu I posted. If this doesn't work, we will see further.

hey thanks, it worked. Can you please explain why the RUU you posted worked and mine didnt? What do the numbers in the RUU signify? I know of those numbers is the radio version. What about the rest?
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_Vodafone_UK_2.33.161.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_157522_signed
Bravo_Froyo_Vodafone refers to the software and carrier.
2.33.161.2 < What does this refer to?
32.49.00.32U < This is the radio obviously. Does it have to be match the radio on my device or not? (It does match by the way)
5.11.05.27 < What does this refer to?
thanks for all the help man. Could you kindly explain two more things?
1) What are the benefits of S-off?
2) whats the point of custom bootloaders like Alpharev?
3) When I root a device, I can obviously install cracked APKs from other websites. What other advantages does rooting offer?
Thanks again.

Mine worked because you wanted to flash an ruu which was too old for your phone.
The number "2.33.161.2" is referred to the software number of android or rather in this case of the android software number with vodafone branding.
32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27 is the radio.
1) You can use fastboot, flash different partition layouts or you can delete apps from /system/app while phone is running.
2) More space for your desire.
3) You can install custom roms, backup your apps and system with e.g. titanium backup or you can "take a picture" of your current system configuration with nandroid backup.
For more information, just use the search.
And do not forget to hit the thanks button.
Thanks. You are AWESOME.
Edit:
I forgot. I dropped my Desire a few weeks ago and the screen got cracked. I got the front glass replaced but now the proximity sensor stays ON all the time. SO when I make a call, the screen goes black and the ONLY way of getting the cell back in is removing the battery. I'll get the cell phone repaired in a week or two. Till then is there any app or any way I can disable the proximity sensor? I was using an MIUI rom before I flashed the RUU and it had an option under "Call settings" to turn off proximity sensor so I'm sure it can be done. Is there any other way to do this without having to go back to MIUI? :|

Well for an ruu to work, bootloader must be locked, try using theq86 bl controller tool to lock it, check the development section.

That's exactly how i want to upgrade my hboot 1.08.0099 to hboot 1.09.0099. The problem is that i can't find the boot.img and the system.img for the hboot1.09.0099. Thats my problem from the begining. So the botom of the line is i just need those two files.

endeavoru, it's s-off using special card.
Is it real s-off or do you mean an unlocked bootloader. A lot of people confuse these things easily

If using a special card, it is soff. But op may get fooled . To the OP, in the bootloader does it say soff or just unlocked?

it's s-off with cid-111111
Nice ! :thumbup:
lol.. so anyone can answer my question?
From what i have read earlier its not wise to run a ruu ! It seems that in some cases the ruu will write a CID and also makes the phone s-on.
afaik you can write yourself a cid, flash the matching hboot firmware and write the supercid back.
You can write a wwe cid for instance my cid HTC__E11 and flash the matching firmware to update to hboot 1.39.
Don't ask me how exactly, this is all info based on previous reading of some older threads.

You can flash anything you want, there is no limit.
Download the HBOOT you want and:
fastboot flash hboot ***.img
or
fastboot flash zip ***.zip
You could even flash a HBOOT not made for your phone, or a corrupted one, so be careful!
Just curious: where is that shop located?
No need to change the cid. Leave as super and flash any firmware. Best get 1.39 from mike's thread.
Super cid means you can choose anyone you like.
I'm not sure what an RUU would do to your s off. Not tried, but no need to risk it.
Interesting that there is a clip or something that can do it though.

Thanks a lot Mr Hofs.. .. That means i can use any RUU. But i can only see JB in asia and european RUU. There is no JB update in India. So do I need to update anything? I mean hboot or anything else before flashing RUU or will the RUU do it on its own?
I can see different software numbers of each countries' RUU.Will it be any problem?
And will the change in the radio from 1.1204.105.14 to 5.xxxxx be any problem with carriers? I am residing in India.
Thanks a lot in advance!!..
From what i have seen its no problem, you may have language problems because your native language might not be implemented. But if you have an Indian ruu you can always return to that. You are fully capable of downgrading and upgrading the hboot.
So if you install a 3.14 ruu you can also return to a 1.29 ruu
Edit : in this thread you can find all sorts of ruu's. Also the 2.17.415

Since its s-off you should be able to install it directly, im not sure if you need to relock the bootloader for s-off devices to correctly install the ruu.
At least the command to relock it is :
Fastboot oem lock
After all that you can unlock again and use a custom rom or stay on stock, whatever you choose

Yes. Nandroid backup is always recommended... But since you have a s-off device, you can run any ruu out here (upgrade + downgrade) So returning to a working os shouldn't be a problem for you
Why don't you try a few roms from the development section and settle on the one which suits you the best?! all roms are good! It's the end user who has to decide which he likes ... + rom comparison isn't allowed in xda...

Hey Arnab,
I just happened to stumble across your post. I have a similar device (Endeavor XE S-OFF with hboot 1.12) and I have been trying to get a custom 4.4 rom update on this. But have been unsuccessful so far (here's the link to my problem description and what all I have tried).
I see that your post is fairly old and I'm assuming that you were able to upgrade your HOX to JB and further. Can you pls share your experience and any tips ?
thanks,

Hi Thant,
You mean I should flash a JB firmware or ICS ? Which one exactly ?
The problem for me is identifying which one to use (considering I'm super-cid and as mentioned by you, thankfully, that I have a test device). I have already tried a few RUUs and no success.
I just don't want to brick it. Hope you understand.
