[Q] Flash back the original rom

I'm using oxygen 2.1.6 with hboot oxygen r2, s-off & rooted.
If i want to flash back to original rom with boot sound enabled, what should i do first?
Because i'm planning to sell my desire.
Could someone give me to original rom link & suggest one?
I see there are many versions. Thanks. Good day.

Is your phone a branded one?
If not, use the latest WWE RUU from fastboot.
Get it here.
Also, because you are using the never alpharev HBOOTs, you need to download their DOWNGRADER first from alpharev.nl
This file: Bravo Downgrader
So Step 1 : Flash Downgrader
Step 2: Flash RUU from fastboot.

Thanks for your reply. My phone is unbranded.
Any command to flash the RUU from fastboot? Coz' i never done before
After flashed this RUU, does the phone become S-ON & Unrooted?
I'm planning to flash hboot bravo stock 250|40|147 and flash Froyo Rom which quite similar to stock one. Leave it rooted & s-off. Any idea which ROM? Thanks.

Nothing. Download the .exe file then boot your phone into fastboot, plug USB and run the RUU from your PC.
It is recommended to flash the DOWNGRADER, not the alpharev stock, because there is a possibility, you will still have S-OFF if you don't flash the downgrader.
So, if you want it unrooted and S-ON: then the Downgrader from alpharev must be flashed.
Well if you want to leave it S-OFF & Rooted - then I'd suggest:
Leedroid 2.5.
Alternatively : Rooted Stock

again, thanks +1

How to get S-on if you on S-off?

Best xda members,,
i was on 2.3.3 Officele rom Gingerbread Dev.
soo i did get the S-off ,
but my question now is...
How do i get that S-on?

if you dont change Hboot you need to run official RUU again and you will become S-on again,
if you change your Hboot you need to flash downgrader from alpharev web site and after that run official RUU to become S.on

Hboot versions by alpharev with the number 6.93.1002 are protected against overwriting by ruu or ota. You have to flash downgrader and then stock hboot first before you can flash an ruu.

Is there a tutorial for flashing a hboot downgrader and a custom hboot?
Thanks!

I used the original names from alpharev website. Do not forget to check md5sum before flashing!

i found it !
First rename the Bravo downgrader.zip to PB99IMG run it in HBOOT MODE, not recovry mode, aply the update, than you hboot will chance to '' ... 9999 '' , after that i had a RUU ZIPFILE, rename that also to PB99IMG run in HBOOT mode and you're done, yoo i learn this as wel!,

Questions:
After i get 999 hboot, i rename the ruu file like ruu_bravo.... .exe to PB99.ZIP?
Thanks!

No. You have to either extract the ruu from the rom (guide can be found by using the search) or download the appropriate ruu as a PB99IMG.exe and rename this into PB99IMG.zip.

RUU . zip Chance to the name to PB99IMG.(

How i got back to the 0.93.0001:
1. I have downloaded the downgrader from alpharev - bravo_downgrade.img.
2. Downloaded fastboot coomader.
3. Restart phone into fastboot.
4. Start fastboot commander, loaded bravo_downgrade.img and flashed it.
5. Restart bootloader (from phone).
6. Got the 6.93.999 hboot.
7. Restart the phone, activate debugging mode and conect the phone with charge only.
8. Downloaded the ruu (for my phone) from shipped roms.
9. Flash the RUU from windows and now the RUU can rewrite the bootloader - so now i have 0.93.0001 hboot.
Thank you all and alpharev and unrevocked (revolutionary)!

[Q] Revolutionary hboot - need to return to stock

I've done a lot of reading and see where Alpharev has a hboot downgrader but does this work with CDMA version BravoC?
I rooted using Revolutionary after having hboot 1.06 for a USCC Desire. Phone is out of standard warranty but I need to send phone in for repair under extended warranty. When I flash 2.2 RUU it cannot roll back hboot version.
Thanks!

I still haven't found anything. Thanks for the help.

what was your original Hboot number?
see alpharev page, if your model is supported try this -
flash HBOOT bravo_downgrader and right after that run appropriate RUU wich contains default hboot to protect extended warranty
as a result of this process you become S-ON again with stock Hboot
i think this may work even for CDMA version but i am not 100% sure
google it and you will find the answer

Here is about GSM Desire...
Actually I just use revolutionary to s-off my phone and it work. I test several new ROMs right now, then I try to flash stock ROM back when found this thread. I can flash the RUU HTC Froyo successfully. but...
the hboot is not overwritten. it still revolutionary. I am very sure the stock ROM I use contain hboot. because I can see it upgrade my hboot from 0.8.000 to 0.93.0001 during I flash this ROM before I s-off it yesterday.
revolutionary claim that we can get the original hboot if we flash stock ROM that contain hboot but it not working for me. maybe you need to tell them about this.

[8]STILL S-OFF AFTER RUU
"I want to return my phone for warranty, I used a RUU but I'm still S-OFF"
Cause:
- Alpharev's Hboots are write protected, so that they can not be overwritten by a RUU
HOW TO S-ON
METHOD 1#
[STEP1]- Visit Alpharev and download the "Downgrader"
[STEP2]- Flash the downgrader over fastboot. This can be done with Android Flasher, cmd, or fastboot commander (Note: android flasher is the only program that does not require third party software such as Android SDK or Java JDK)
[STEP3]- You should now notice the title on the bootloader screen is "Alpharev Unlock", run the RUU again and you will have S-ON'd your device.
#METHOD 2#
[STEP1]- Instead of running the RUU again, and putting your phone at risk once more, you can simply upgrade just the bootloader manually, with the PB99IMG.zip method.
[PHASE1]- we need to extract rom.zip from the RUU.
[P1/STEP1]- Run the RUU (BUT DO NOT PLUG IN YOUR PHONE OR CONTINUE), move it to the side as it cannot be minimised.
[P1/STEP2]- go to start menu, and use the "run" feature. Type in %temp%
[P1/STEP3]- select "date modified" to "today" (to make it easier to find). There are should now be 2 folders with long names of random characters.
[P1/STEP4]- search the folders for rom.zip and extract it to the desktop.
[P1/STEP5]- delete everything EXCEPT "hboot_8x50_0.93.0001_20100810.nb0" and "android-info.txt"
[P1/STEP6]- rename the zip to PB99IMG.zip (make sure it is not PB99IMG.zip.zip)
[PHASE2]- now we need to update the bootloader
[P2/STEP1]- put the file in the ROOT of your sd-card (not in any file or folder) and boot into bootloader (poweroff, hold VOLUME DOWN and POWER). After a few seconds, you will be prompted to update bootloader. Select Yes. DO NOT INTERRUPT THE PROCESS, OR YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE.
[P2/STEP2]- Once the process is finished, you will now be S-ON.

[Q] Remove s-off desire (Need to send to service)

Hi,
I am s-off woth cm r2 table using Oxygen.
I flashed the stock hboot table and then the RUU.
The process went perfect and it installed the RUU. But when I start the phone woth Vol dwn + power it still says AlphaRev S-off.
I then tried the new gingerbread RUU and it still the same but the HBOOT is the new one 1.02.0001.
Is there a way of removing S-OFF?
Best regards
Jejja80

Always the same kind of questions here
from http://alpharev.nl/ :
Downgrade protection, these HBOOTs cannot be overwritten by an OTA or RUU, unless you flash a downgrader HBOOT first.

Upgrade HBOOT from 0.80.x.x to higher

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone can help me with the following problem.
I have a HTC Desire from a friend of mine. He has a HBOOT 0.80 version. But the phone is S-ON
Now i want to S-OFF the phone and to install 4EXT custom recovery. The problem is that Alpharev needs a higher version of the HBOOT in order to do that.
What is the best way to upgrade the HBOOT from the desire to a newer 0.92.x. version?
The phone is rooted already and has a clockwork custom recovery installed.
Possible

You can use the official Gingerbread RUU. After the Update had done, you can S-Off with Revolutionary --> http://revolutionary.io/
But please move it to "Desire Q&A"

You'd be safer off to use a 2.2 RUU instead of the 2.3 one.

I have the same problem of "Possible", same same.
I tried to update the HBOOT via the official HTCdev page with file:
PB9920000_Bravo_Froyo_hboot_1.03.0003_R.exe
without success becouse the update utility give me the maessage:
Please upgrade to 2.29.405.14 to apply this RUU to be able to unlock your bootloader.
So I tried to install an original RUU with file:
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8_Radio_32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed.exe (Android 2.2)
withou any success, an error displayed at the end of process.
I tried another RUU with file:
RUU_HTC Desire Android 2.3 Upgrade (Gingerbread).exe (Android 2.3)
withou any success, an error displayed at the end of process.
Now I am stak!
I'd want update HBOOT from 0.80 to higher in order to run revolutionary procedure (to have S-OFF), in order to install 4EXT recovery but it seems impossible.
Any idea?
Thanks
