what can i do to s-off my phone and flash any rom with clockmodrecovery??
HBoot Version:
0.85.0008
Radio Version:
26.04.02.17_M2
Kernel version:
2.6.32.21....
Software number:
1.34.707.5
sorry for my bad english!!!! :-"

Please post what is on your phone now? Kernel version? build number? Software number? Hboot version? Radio? No one here can help untill you give as much info as possible. And Im not quite sure I understand what you said about root, did you have s-off before and now you have s-on, or have you always had s-on? What did you do to " formated to factory" exactly? What did you flash, RUU???
More Info Please.

Again if you were already rooted with S-off , and you say you did a factory reset , what exactly did you do to "factory reset"?????? In your first post you said you had perm root before, so this means you would have had S-off, meaning in order to get S-on you would have had to unroot your phone. How did you root your phone the first time??? What did you do to unroot your phone now???????? Doing a factory reset would not unroot your phone. So my guess is you never rooted the first time. So that means you must be doing something wrong in the rooting process, as far as I know your version is rootable, what methods have you tried and exactly what steps have you done in the processes.

I wonder if the 1.74 RUU worked at least enough to change the phone back to S-ON, and as has been discussed the 1.74 stuff can't be rooted using normal methods.
I might suggest this for help:

[TUT] Downgrade your Desire/Bravo HBOOT from 1.02.0001 to 0.93.0001

Hi,
This is how you downgrade a Desire/Bravo with the HBOOT 1.02.0001 already installed, - this method is appropriate for people who need to downgrade the HBOOT for unlock purposes. I struggled for ages on this and once I found the method thought i'd post it around the internet as I couldn't find this info anywhere.
-Summary of steps-
1)Turn S-Off + Update HBOOT
2)Downgrade HBOOT to 0.93.0001 (Turns S-ON)
I have personally tested this and it worked perfectly without any problems. However flashing anything to your phone is done at your own risk, & I accept no responsability for your device.
--Step 1--
Download and run the Revolutionary tool here http://revolutionary.io/ to turn S-Off - Follow the steps on their website for how to do this if you get stuck.
Once you have run the Revolutionary tool, when it asks if you want to install the Clockworkmod recovery press no.
You will now have an S-Off phone running HBOOT 6.93.1002
--Step 2--
Format a microSD card, download the following zip file and save it to your memory card.
http://www.mediafire.com/download/dyyn35zm07x2x7a/PB99IMG.zip LINK UPDATED 2 JAN 2013
You should now have a single file on your memory card named PB99IMG.zip
--Step 3--
Put the microSD card back in your phone and hold 'VOL+DOWN + ACTION' and press the power button to get to the HBOOT menu. Wait around 10 seconds (give or take) and the phone will detect the update and ask you to install it, Select yes to install then reboot your phone back into the HBOOT menu.
You will now have an S-On phone with the 0.93.0001 HBOOT
--Step4-- IF THIS STEP APPLIES TO YOU FOR UNLOCKING
Unlock with XTC-Clip as you normally would - Creating goldcard with 0.93.X001 HBOOT.
Your phone will now be unlocked.[/QUOTE]
NOTE: You can do the official updates through the phone as normal without loosing your unlock
Hope you find this info useful

what ruu (PB99IMG) is it?
what if someone has an orange branded phone, coz there is no ruu for it and they would need a goldcard.
what about people from different regions coz theres different ruu's for different regions aswell and they would need a gold card.
edit: its a hboot.img, thought it was an ruu.
did u try this yet? does it work?
normaly when u change hboots u have to format partitions. if u go to the trouble of getting s-off then why not just run the correct ruu for ur device, just to be safe.

Hi,
It souldn't matter what network the phone is on - The HBoot was taken from a WWE RUU & I tested it with a UK Vodaphone branded desire which worked. I used this method to unlock a 1.02.0001 phone which isnt supported by xtc hence the downgrade needed. You shouldn't need a goldcard for the downgrade part as running the revolutionary tool will switch s-off, after applying the downgraded hboot it will turn s-on but as you will be on the old 0.93.0001 hboot you can just create the goldcard with xtc and complete the unlock if this step applies to you - it probably does as I dont know another reason for downgrading to this HBOOT.
Running the downgrade will wipe the phone - it did atleast with mine.
The reason I couldnt run an RUU to downgrade the hboot after turning s-off is because revolutionarys tool adds some protection to prevent hboot flashing via RUU & fastboot. The only way I could find to do it was to flash it directly from the SD card.
As for the other regions you may be right and need a local hboot - I'm not able to test this as I only ever get UK phones to unlock. If it is the case the HBOOT which you want to downgrade to can always be extracted from a local RUU and added to your own update.zip (named correctly of course) - The network branded phones on the other hand should make no difference - as s is off, so a UK orange, vodafone etc will take the hboot from WWE RUU aslong as s is off. (This is why its neccessary to run revolutionary first)
Hope this info helps.

cool. just so u know to unlock the hboot 6.93.1002 u have to flash the Alpharev downgrader img, that way it can be overwritten by an ruu

Hi,
Thanks for mensioning that, I did actually run the Alpharev downgrader as part of the process but completely forgot to add that step ( I wrote the tutorial after doing it not during ) With me though after running the alpharev downgrade the hboot still wouldnt downgrade from the ruu - also tried manually flashing with fastboot but got various errors (something to do with usb something or other - maby it was just my usb's playing up again as they occasionaly do) so for me I still had to do the sd card way but if you find it works for you with the ruu then even better.
For anyone getting stuck, do this step after running revolutionary - Just download the Bravo Downgrader from here http://alpharev.nl/ and run it before continuing with the rest of the steps.

i always use PB99IMG awsell, my laptop dont like my phone haha

desire with broken volume keys
hi friends, I found a HTC Desire bravo at the flee market and bought it thinking it is actually a nexus-one... a nice phone with lots of nice futures in it after a charging session the phone boot up and it was alive back again. with one problem the volume keys was not working.. ı dismantled it and cleaned up as it is described in xda forums and didn't worked so i made a little check and found the thin foil attaching the volume keys to the main board was broken since there is no way to fix it without changing the main board and i had no intention to pay lots of money on it i left it like that with one problem; no way to boot in to recovery from start... after couple of days i found i didn't liked the rom on it i decided to change it, there was no problem since i could boot it to recovery using the restart menu which the ROM had since it was rooted but i made a mistake and fell in to a boot lope the only way to boot it back was the adb commands but phone couldn't start up so no debugging mode only fast boot so i tried many fast boot commands to boot in to recovery with no success after searching forums i found lots of desire bravos around with the same problem.. so i used ruu to reboot it properly the only ruu worked for me was the official 2.3.3 update ruu ''RUU_HTC Desire Android 2.3 Upgrade (Gingerbread).exe'' the phone booted and working now but no s off and no root and there was no way to root it without the volume up and down keys i was stuck with the useless unrooted rom so here how i rooted the phone without the volume keys first you have to download ''DooMLoRD_v3_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su.zip'' and run it in USB debugging mode after that you have a working recovery partition to install a recovery bin using fastboot or what ever( the problem was after the update i lost the phones recovery partition and couldn't get the state s-off even i am s-off there was no recovery partition... since i am not good at commands to re format the boot loader this could be a life saver so i decided to share my experience... afterwards you can boot into recovery since you have a recovery partition you can push any recovery to your phone i think zergrush tool is not intended to use with bravo that why no body mentioned it in the bravo forums ops i forgot the say i used alphadevs methods and software to gain s-off on my phone before using zergrush i hope this will hwlp people like me stucked with non fonctioning volume keys

[Q] Unlock HTC Dev fastboot error while Hboot correct version

Hi all,
I am trying to root my stock HTC desire HD phone using the HTC easy unlock bootloader tool (also tried directly from HTCdev and easy ace root tool).
I get stucked right in the beginning: when trying to get my unlock token i get an error:
[ERR] Command error
I am on build 3.12.405.2
I am on HBOOT 2.00.0027
While searching for a solution I found out that there might be a problem with the HBOOT version (although version above 2.00. should be working, isnt't?), so I tried to update HBOOT. Tried updating with RUU, which gave an error that i was on version 3.12.405.2, while i should have been on version 3.12.405.1, so than I extracted PD98IMG.zip from the .exe and have put it on the root of my SD card, booted in Bootloader, but no update occured.
Now I am stucked and have no idea what to do next,
- should i still update my HBOOT and if so, how??
- is HBOOT not the problem and is there another solution?
Please help, thanks a lot,
xx LittleGirl

The best is to create a goldcard and flash a RUU with a main version supported by HTCDEV. Then update the hboot and finally unlock the bootloader.

Hi All,
finally figured it out:
Fist update your HBOOT 2.00.0027 to 2.00.0029 following the small part in this link: http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f66...-os-s-off-change-imei-cid-hxc-dongle-1548982/
after that: you can continue with unlocking trough HCTdev, than flash clockworkmod recovery, than activate superuser and than go on however you want! (i installed the rom manager app)

thanks a lot Glevitan, i was hoping a would get an answer from you . Eventually i didn't need to create a goldcard, just updating HBOOT using the link in my post above was enough to be able to continue!

That is just fine. But not for everyone..you gain tempo root to downgrade the main version and then flash GB rom. That is a nice move. :laugh:

[Q] Rooting wildfire a3333 hboot 0.80.0002

Hello everyone, i just got an old HTC Wildfire from my aunt and decided to root it and make it a useful secondary phone... the problem i ran into is the fact that it has HBOOT 0.80.0002.
I cant seem to figure out how to root it. I tried the full guide to rooting and de-branding but i got stuck first i tried to just use revolutionary, but that only supports hboot 1.01.0001 or something like that and then i tried to downgrade it (what u are supposed to do for 1.2.0002 hboot) but that didnt work either since i got stuck trying to create a goldcard image. Well i actually got the goldcard (found a functioning website online put in my CID and got the gold card, but the prtoblem was that i couldnt patch the mmc)
So anyone got any help for me? or a tip what tutorial i could try.
Phone info:
HTC Buzz (wildfire)
Hboot 0.80.0002
Radio 3.35.19.25
S-on
Firmware 2.1-update 1
Thanks for the help

If you run the unrevoked program it will root your phone with your current hboot. You could also consider working out your phones cid, (not the one from your goldcard) And then you could look for the correct update ruu. Upgrade to hboot 1.01.0001 and then use revolutionary and gain full s-off

Ok, unrewoked worked the second time around tried it before i posted here, but it stopped at pushing recovery image... i guess it must have been HTC sync (yeah forgot i had that instaled on this pc) when i uninstalled it as the software told me to it worked just fine. Rooted with CWM thanks for the help

Ok guys, is this even possible? I used Unrevoked and it worked nicely and got my phone rooted (super user) and CWM installed... but i still have S-ON... am i missing something here? should i flash something to get S-OFF or what? really confused right now...
Thanks.

Unrevoked never removed s-on, it used a root exploit to gain superuser access, install superuser and then flash a custom recovery. Revolutionary, which is a conjunction of team unrevoked and alpharev was the next step, after the upgrade to hboot 1.xx.xxxx unrevoked exploit no longer worked, so they found another I believe and forced a hacked bootloader into the phone, making it believe it was s-off even though the radio flag was still set to on confusing I know
so revolutionary s-off is from a patched hboot, and the xtc clip gives full radio s-off. The only real difference is that with xtc clip s-off you can remove SIM lock, but with the patched hboot you cannot, as the radio which houses the security (for all intents and purposes) is still set to on. The patched hboot just tells the hboot to ignore what the radio says and believe it is s-off all the time.
But before I ramble on you should be good to go with your hboot, but you may need to upgrade your recovery, in order to do this I believe you will need root and to flash the recovery by using a script called flash. I'll look Into it for you or, you could try the clockworkmod recovery app to flash the new recovery, you want 5.0.2.0 preferably

[Q] HTC Desire Problems with hboot - "CID incorrect!"

Hallo Forum,
I'm sitting here with my Desire and want to change the ROM.
- First I rooted the Desire with unrevoked³
- than I tried to follow spezzi's instructions for KitKANG
- I made the 1024mb recommended ext4 sd-ext partition with gparted
- and than I tried to upgrade the hboot http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48063010&postcount=22
but it didn't come "apply the update"
than I looked for switching to S-OFF with revolutionary, but this tool doesn't exist anymore, so I tried the method from AlphaRev r1.8 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794314
But now, when I start into bootloader I get the message:
CID incorrect!
Update Fail!
The actual hboot version is 0.93.0001
What can I do, to go continue?
Thanks for your help! :fingers-crossed::cyclops:

uhm... revolutionary was online when i checked it on sunday.
maybe just wait till the site is up again.
maybe it might also help if you unlock your bootloader via htcdev instead. however, i don't know if that will help you with repartitioning your NAND for certain roms, as unlocking it this way doesn't S-off the bootloader.

I used revolutionary on a desire just over a week ago, its still there im sure.
i dont know if this is the right way to go but the cid error is usually from a rom marked for a particular region and or carrier, or a unbranded rom is being attempeted on a branded phone. a gold card bypasses the cid check, i would confirm with others that its ok to use this method in your case to flash the rom your trying to install but ultimately i would be going s-off with revoloutionary which irradicates the cid problem anyway.
