No.
Oh well,I guess that means sticking to roms that use the one I'm currently using

Why? Changing hboot is easy, and if you have a brain, you won't brick your phone.
Because I don't always have access to a computer, I know when I have changing it is a matter of a few seconds.

I always change hboot without computer.. Use the PB99IMG.zip method.. Don't forget to wipe all partitions except sd before and after..

Hboots are .Img files, meant to be flashed through adb. There are also .Zip files named PB99IMG.ZIP that contain that img file and that file has to be on sdcard.. (not in folder, just root of sdcard) and when you boot into bootloader it will say it has found an update and ask if you want to flash it.. (afterwards rename the file so it won't ask again next time..)
Also in recovery wipe before and after this process all partitions except sd..

Rooted my desire yesterday S-offed and everything was working fine. I attempted to flash a custom Rom and now all I recieve in the HTC screen. I have tryed installing several roms and nothing works. I can get into the recovery with no issues. Just I cannot get into any roms. Any Magix fixes I can try? Or should I just Fastboot and start over?
Edit. Fastboot doesnt work. But I can get into the CWM Recovery. Which is also the newest version.
And you always followed installation guides for all roms carefully (like sd card) and flashed version that corresponds with your hboot?

Yup Followed everything. I have done this all on my incredible 100 times. So I am aware of the steps to get Roms going.
Wiped all user data?
I just had this briefly with a Desire PVT4, had forgotten to wipe all user data prior to flashnig ROM's...?

Fastboot just has the bootloader option. Nothing for going back to stock. And were on the Stock HBOOT.
Correction Fastboot works just I cannot use it to go to stock. Is there any quick way to get to the stock image?
You can just download the zip from alpha rev put it on the SD card (not in a folder) re name it as PB99IMG start your phone with power and volume down and it will ask you if you want install it. P.s sorry if you knew this lol

I didnt know that! I shall give it a try and update on here and thank you if it works. What is Alpha Rev? A Devoloper or something?
You basically they specialize in s off, and recovery images etc. What sort of ROMs are you using? Cm7r2 is best for most Roms on the desire atm

How could you S-OFF your phone without hearing from AlphaRev?
That is a good point? But suppose you could miss it, it isn't the same site.

How big does it show the 1st partition? And how big is your SD card?
Sent from my Wildfire S using Tapatalk 2 Beta-4
my SD Card is 4GB
and it shows 3.37GB
i mentioned it wrong i had made 256MB partition ext2
hope you could help
I don't know if this will work. But you can try it.
Reboot into recovery,
Connect it by USB,
Go to mounts and storage
Unmount sd-ext (only if you see it)
Mount USB storage (don't press anything else now)
Check mini partition tool if it sees the 2nd partition.

hmm well i didnt had recovery installed but after installing my SD Card wasnt being mounted then i just went to setting storage and it said that blank sd card
and asked me to format it and after it formatted i saw that the size became 3.62GB

thanks for help
You're welcome

Yes you can. But you need to be rooted to use it. You can use clockworkmod or mini partition tool (windows) to do it.

I'm not sure about this but you should be able to install any ruu that has a software number higher than yours. If it doesn't work, make a goldcard and try again.
You can overclock if you flash a custom overclockable kernel

Same as you did for Getting CM7R2 HBoot
1. Download PB99IMG_stock.zip from Alpharev's site.
2. then rename it as PB99IMG.zip and place it in root of your SD card
3. Power off then Powerup your Phone with Volume Down + Power (Boot in Bootloader) there select Yes when asked for updating HBoot and Restart.
4. Goto Recover format /system
5. Restore Nandroid Backup or Flash new ROM.
Delete

maybe u have to flash something called downgrader first, just at the bottom of the list of all those hoots.
Use Fastboot commander, that`s the best and most powerful one.

The downgrader allows a RUU to install as it checks for the HBOOT version so it doesn't flash over a newer version.
I have not used Android Flasher. I have never had any issues using Fastboot commander for switching between stock, CM 7, oxygen and dGB HBOOTs.
You are using the .img file and not the .zip right?

No way? Really? Could I have meant the relative HBOOTs with the same descriptors numbnuts? I think that might be the case.
Yes, do google AlphaRev and follow the instructions. See the table that describes the partition tables (based on the ROMs for which they were created) and pay attention to whether you are using the img or zip.

Hi all
I am on HBOOT-0.80.0000 and trying to upgrade to another one to use the newer ROMS properly and no matter which PB99IMG I choose e.g. PB99IMG_oxygenr2 or PB99IMG_cm7r2 and place these in the root of my SD card renamed as PB99IMG.zip I don't get the option to overwrite or anything. The fastboot loooks at the file as it says Checking.... Then it just goes back around to the FASTBOOT option???

Once you place the PB99IMG.zip on root of your SD card it will not ask you to override anything unless and until you had placed it before. Then boot into fastboot to flash the zip and it will ask you to update hboot you need to select yes by doing volume down button. Then it will ask you to reboot into bootloader select yes again, and you are done flashing the hboot.

I could only find one with the old edify script, so can't flash it
Where I can find the latest radio with new recovery script?
Or should I flash the img it via fast boot? Which is better?
I am on data++ hboot, do I need to revert to stock?
Edit: found on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=687464
that I need to flash with fast boot because I have 5MB cache, so the zip with edify script is enough, I just extract the img.

U can flash it in recovery as a zip file but only using an older version of clockworkmod recovery 2.5.0.7
