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.

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.

fastboot commander works great for me too. Just make sure ur S-OFF, download fastboot drivers, install fastboot commander. REboot into bootloader and flash .img files downloaded from Alpharev website, using fastboot commander

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.

Hi , can someone can make flashable zip of this - http://download.oxygen.im/radios/bravo.5.17.05.23.zip
Yeah , i know its alredy in that format but in recovey its says - use never install script
I can make new way of zip , yes , but i dont know where to send radio.img

u have to extract the zip file and flash radio.img via fastboot commands which is the best way or install Clockworkmod recovery 2.5.0.7 and and then u can just flash the zip file, i dont recommend Clockworkmod recovery but it does the job as far as flashing new radio. take a look here

Nope.

If the rom supports it. Not all roms flash the boot.img with installing the rom. A lot of devs took that script out because not many people have an S-OFF device

Hopefully 4ext is updated soon...

The kernel must be compatible with the ROM. Usually, Sense version and Android version need to match.

I'm sorry, is it actually possible to flash a kernel with unlocked bootloader and s-on? Before I s-offed, I could not flash New kernel via recovery, is there a way to do it other than via recovery?
Edit: I suppose if the new kernel was in boot.IMG format, then you could flash it in fastboot.

yes The Kernel In the .zip format can be flashed in two steps.
First Flash The Zip File In Recovery
Then Flash Boot.img via Fastboot,fastboot flash boot boot.img

What's the first step for?

I think the whole point of this thread was the op wants to try different kernel with existing Rom on the phone using a kernel.zip .
My original answer was if your s-on you can't flash a new kernel.
What I didn't however include is you can't do it via recovery, using a downloaded kernel.zip which was my mistake. But I would have thought that was obvious, because that was the original question.

But...what does flashing the zip do that flashing the image doesn't? Am I missing something?

According to me,The Flash Zip is required to place the files in the system directories...

It would be the same reason you have to flash the boot.IMG manually after flashing a Rom from recovery (cwm, 4ext etc) because it doesn't get flashed to the boot, same reason kernel doesn't flash via recovery. HTC unlock but still s-on doesn't allow you to mess with kernel directly or via recovery except using fastboot.
Atleast that's my understanding.
May I also add my own personal experience, I went straight to htcdev to unlock my phone, my experience with my HTC legend gave me the knowledge to do it without issue except the boot.img which through me a little. Long story short after flashing Rom and boot.img I wanted to try new kernel but it wouldn't work then I used google and found out via a different forum site the reason, which is HTC'S official unlock does not allow access to kernel with s-on....
