Actually were you using a custom hboot from alpharev or anything like that?
and were you using any custom rom and if any of those which ones?

Look in the first line of bootloader. What is written there?
SwiftKeyed from Oxygen with Transparent XDA App

[Q] Update straight to 2.3

Ok, I'm new to htc's and don't hate on me for asking this but I've searched here and on Google and am not getting good enough results, I currently have a 2.2 stock ROM with root and clockwork to boot ( just got the phone and it was this way when I got it) I now have to send the phone in for repairs and I was thinking if it would be ok to just update to the 2.3 htc stock update?
Do the RUU's include everything boot,radio and ROM?
I come from the world of Samsung where we have small updates (that don't have boot) and large ones (wich include all 3 packages)
Also if this was posted in the wrong section, mod could you please move it to the appropriate place thank you
Cheers.

A RUU is indeed a complete package. It will return it completely to stock.

Thanks for the swift reply

Just make sure you have stock hboot, the RUU won't fit into CM7 hboot

yes it will, the alpharev overwrite protection doesn't work on the 2.3 update and will update the bootloader also.

Oh thats good to know...

im not sure about this, as some users reported to remain still s-off after the 2.3 ruu (and this should be logic as the alpharev bootloader version is 6.93 (>1.02))

I did the update and everything went great, I also saw that the loader is now S-ON
whatever that means

[ROM][HTC][WILDFIRE S A510e][EUROPE][2.3.5][PG76IMG.ZIP] To Flash From Hboot

Thought I would post rom.zip from inside the RUU Release:
Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.13.401.2_Radio_47.23a.35.3035H_7.53.39.03M_release_225747
It's downloadable as a PG76IMG.zip file for those who are able to/want to flash it from Hboot instead of RUU connected to computer method.
I flashed my upgrade this way and it fully upgraded Radio, Hboot, Microp, etc.
I was XTC Clip S-OFF of course. It did not S-ON the phone.
Directions:
1/ Download the file.
2/ Place it on the root of your SD Card.
3/ Power down and remove and replace battery.
4/ Hold Volume Down and Power On buttons at the same time.
5/ Follow the directions on screen.
6/ Replace file with your custom recovery and flash it if need be.
Enjoy.

I have a few questions...
1. Where can I find the Virgin Mobile version?
2. What does this actually do
3. Will it S-On my Goldcard S-Offed device?
EDIT:
I want to flash the Virgin Mobile version in Hboot, by the way.

This is simply the stock rom extracted from the RUU installer. Nothing more. Nothing less.

This File is signed by HTC.
So you dont need S-off to flash this Rom.

This is not for the A510e ?
Or?

I think,the title clearly say [WILDFIRE S A510e].

Will this remove my simlock?

No. Its a original HTC Rom

Your phone is branded so use a goldcard or a ruu with the correct cid.

theq86 posted in another thread that it's possible to install this with an unlocked bootloader without a gold card.
Here's his instructions:
theq86 said:
extract the zip.
Copy:
boot.img
system.img
to your Android directory (where you have fastboot and adb)
boot into hboot, mark fastboot, hit power button and attach usb cable
now open a command shell:
fastboot flash boot boot.ini <-- will flash kernel and boot
fastboot flash system system.img <-- will flash stock rom
now go to hboot, factory reset and restart

I shall be trying it when the file has finished downloading.

How to upgrade hboot

Hi all, so I've been trying to update my hboot from 0.75.0000 to .93 but have been FAILING miserably. I'm currently on ICS, and have tried alpharev which didn't work. Trying to flash rom to RUU has also failed but I don't know why. Flashed my radio to match the one with the RUU and that didn't work, which i'm guessing is due to the inability to simply flash from ICS to 2.2 or 2.3?
So my question is, any other tips?

Try to flash the hboot downgrade from alpharev then the right RUU. If that works you can root and s-off your phone with unrevoked/revolutionary. If you want to change hboot to cmr7 or data ++ (example) you MUST be s-off......

Thanks for tip, I've actually done alpharev and it also failed. Reason being it needs a rom that doesn't already have a2sd, any suggestion as to which rom is suitable?
Thanks
Edit: I've actually online done the hboot reflash, and not the downgrade. Will give that a go first and see what happens.

I think that all the rooted roms have some sort of a2sd, that's why I think you have to start from the beginning. Start with an original ruu.bring it back to its original state wich came out of the box...my knowledge doesn't reach that far ;-) its the easyest way I think.

Can you post your complete bootloader. Turn of phone, hold down volume and press power. What info does the left upper corner give you ?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

It is:
BRAVO UNKNOWN SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.75.0000
MICROP-031D
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-4.05.00.11
MAR 5 2010,21:12:15

Still I think what's best is to go back all the way and install a ruu. Then go directly to revolutionary. It will root and s-off your phone and installs the custom hboot.
Maybe I have more time to help tonight, I am at work now :-(

That's what I'm thinking too, hence why I'm trying to flash an RUU onto the device. I however get this error when I do it
Error[140]: Bootloader version error
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone
Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again

I conclude that the downgrade did not work ?

It didn't and wouldn't cause my phone is still on S-On, I'm however dling some newer RUU so fingers crossed that helps.

Ah yes ofcourse. There is a stickie in the Q & A section here that has info and troubleshooting. Maybe point 3 and 4 can give you some more info !

Is it possible that your phone is branded by provider, in that case you have to create a goldcard first. I have no experience in this. Hopefully I am pointing you to the right direction.

Hey there, firstly I would like to thank you for ALL your help and of course the effort you've put in it.
I've actually fixed it by firstly going to page ~16 of the android development forum for the desire, get an old rom, flash it in and then performed the alpharev. Lo and behold it worked because the rom is reasonably old and a2sd was "new" then. Flashed it back to ICS now and I am proud to announced that I S-OFF'ED!!! Partition done and OFF I GO.

That's great !!!! Have fun with your fixed desire )))

@bjornzzz Any suggestion on which rom you flashed. I've arrived at this boot loader while going back to stock from alpharevx hboot / ics rom.
Flashing an Ruu before flashing the alpharev downgrade didn't help much. LOL

You can. I prefer not to but its your call

I've only ever used Android flasher and must have changed hboot about 20 times. Works well for me.

Whichever method you use, wipe all partitions (except FAT32 on SD) after changing.
(If you use 4ext recovery this will be done for you),

I have only used fastboot and never had any problems with it. at start it might seem the harder way but when you do it a couple of times it probably is the fastest and easiest way to do it.
also just a reminder, if you wanna change back from cm7r2, flash the downgrader first, then flash the other hboot you wanna go for. (i have learned this a lot later than i should have therefore i feel the need to share it)

Do you mean, everytime one is changing to any different hboot?
I thought this is only needed if one is changing back to stock hboot.

Personnally I'm a fan of Fastboot Commander. It can be found at the bottom of the Desire Index in the development thread.

You got a few hboots for alpharev then you can make your own layout as you need, so rom will fit perfectly. As I'm trying different Rom flashing hboot as it is required for that specific Rom.
Now I find fastboot much quicker way as fastboot commander with mouse

if i remember correctly, you need to use the downgrader first to switch from 387mb system hboot to cm7r2 for example

You are remember not correctly. One only needs to use downgrader when one wants to flash RUU or OTA, because the new hboot versions have only overwrite protection against RUU or OTA (Source: http://alpharev.nl).

I've changed from CM7r2 to stock and back again a few times now (when trying out the ICS ROMs that are floating around on here), and have never flashed the downgrader. As MatDrOiD points out, that's only needed if you're going back onto a RUU.
Cheers.

there are ROM's that doesn't accept a certain boot's, so if you really want that ROM, you must change your boot too
