[Q] After s-off life..

Some help please...
I've switched to s-off with XTC clip, but now I'm stuck in order to root with hboot 1.0.1. Followed couple of guides like this onefor making a goldcard and custom recovery with PC49IMG.zip to no avail. In fastboot it doesn't give me the choice for the new firmware... thus can't recover unsigned or custom rooted roms. Somewhere in the process I'm mistaken or repeat an error that I cannot find... anyway
How can I recover an earlier RUU from microSD in order to downgrade the bootloader? I don't have a specific choice since I'll go with custom roms just wanna root with an earlier hboot that unrevoked can handle...(english of course)
Apologize in advance since I'm a noob and such subjects have been covered before but i'm tired of rebootin the phone and searchin threads... if anybody can pinpoint me the RUU and the exact process with the standard recovery I would be glad!!! Thanks again..
*In case of a computer need, linux is prefered..

tried to flash with fastboot a cwm recovery ending in a : writing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)..
Also tried to flash with recovery an update.zip ending in signature verification abort..
Still can't get it... it is supposed to be easy ???

If you got s-off:
1) get and flash normally from windows this rom:
RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.37.405.1_Radio_13.53.55.24H_3.35.19.25_release_151892_signed.exe
2) use unrevoked 3.2 (not latest)
and it will install recovery, after that put some roms onto sd card and flash from recovery
thats it. :> short guide

remote is not supported by your Hboot version, you have to downgrade your rom to 2.1 first and then root it using unrevoked 3.2 test version.

Thanks people! I'm ok now

[Q] Unable to use Unrevocked on my HTC Desire !

Hello,
I wanted to post in dedicated post in development section but I don't have enough message posted for that !
I'm trying to install a custom ROM on my Desire (non operator version, stock rom). So I rooted it with VISIONary+ and it looks to have succeeded. Then I installed RomManager to install Clockworkmod ! When I select Flash Clockworkmod in RomManager it states after few seconds that it downloaded it but not that it flashed it When I reboot with recovery mode I get the default android menu and not the one of Clockworkmod. What's wrong ?
I tried also with latest version of unrevocked but it hungs up at end stating "Root failed: perhaps your firmware is too recent !"
Here are all infos of my phone in Boot:

Hey I was facing similar issues few days back, use the RUU for your device to restore it to factory settings and then try unRevoked again.
also this is my post -http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970566 hope this helps

To confirm, the 2.29.405.5 software is what was on your phone when you got it? If so, use unrEVOked 3.21 as this seems to work for most people (although I had no issues using 3.32 with the same version as you)

Yep I tried unRevoked with old version of amon_ra but no better luck, so I'm going to flash it to RUU and try again. Where should I find the RUU ? I just need to copy it at root of sd card and then in boot mode I select that file and that's it, right ?
Update: I found the link in forum with RUU for Desire Considering mine is an official HTC phone, not branded by any carrier, I should use one of these I suppose but which one :
RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4. 05.00.11_release_122704.exe
RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4. 06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00. 32U_5.11.05.27_release
Update bis: these are all windows update programs so no way to use them for me as I run on Mac, and in Parallels on Mac, Desire doesn't appear as USB peripheral I can attach to Windows when it's in boot mode
Thanks,
Vincèn

Nope when I got it it was probably in Android 2.1 or 2.2 not sure and then I did the OTA update offered by HTC Latest one is few months away !

I had issues with the latest unrevoked and I was getting a failed message. When i removed my sd card everything goes well.
So give it a try without your sd card, who knows it might work for you too!
P.S I have the same HBOOT and android version with you.

Why are you usung unrevoked anyway? Since you are s-off you can easily flash a new recovery via fastboot.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.
I don't think you can use unrevoked on an already rooted device - but not sure though.

no idea, I don't know how or why it's in S-Off mode ! I have no remember to have tweaked it in past !

Did you use Alpharev to S-Off?
When trying unrevoked, did you uncheck "disable security" (or similar) before hitting the button?
EDIT: Sry, I hit reply instead of edit.
It is really strange that you are S-Off. Maybe you are one of the few people having eng-bootloader from stock?
Probably runnung an RUU is your best bet.

oky so I reinstalled RUU 2.29.405.5 with success ! and then tried to run Unrevoked and it finishes with same error as previously (Backup CID is missing, I ran it without security Options !).
If I try to run UNrevoked with Amon_Ra 2, I get Failed to get root. Is your firmware too new ?
With Amon_Ra 0.93 same error about CID missing !
With Clockwork mod 2.5.0.7, same error about CID missing !
I'm desperated It looks like my phone can't be upgraded easily Any other ideas ?
Thanks for all,

Got it with that link I could not use your link for unrevoked 3.2 as I'm on Mac so I went with your link to extract misc.img, edit it with hex editor and replaced it in phone and then run Unrevoked latest release on it and worked straight That's too cool Now I need to download correct Cyanogen rom as it looks that the one for Bravo is not going on Desire I thought it was the correct one ! I'm waiting for Cyanogen website to come back to life as it's down from here for now

[Q] Rerooting device is safe?

Hi, I have 2 desire bravo, one is Amoled and the other is Slcd,
I rooted the amoled one with alpharev.nl, and everything works ok...
But i bought the S-LCD one already rooted, the one who sell me it told me that he rooted it with "unrevocked forever". it's s-off with CWM recovery and every thing work but i cant flash radio, hboot and recovery via fastboot, it also told me : FAILED (remote: not allowed)
is there a solution for this?
is it safe to reroot my device using alpharev.nl?
thx

you don't flash the radio through recovery. You flash it through fastboot!!

It's recommend to do this since one is S-OFF, you are right. But it's only really necessary if one's using a hboot with a /cache partition <35-40 mb.

I'am not flashing the radio through recovery. i am doing it with fastboot.
with the SLCD one i got this error when flashing hboot or radio :
sending 'hboot' (512 KB)... OKAY [ 0.094s]
writing 'hboot'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)

Doublecheck your bootloader if you are really S-OFF.

I have bravo stock hboot with 40M cache, so i had already tried to flash radio through CWM recovery and i got an error like :
amend scripting (update script) is no longer supported..

yes it's s-off!! it's weird.

That means your recovery is too modern for the script you want to flash. Since version 3.xxx cwm uses a newer scripts, but not all flashable zips support this. So you need to change recovery. This has to be done via fastboot. So we need to get your fastboot working:
Installed HTC drivers correctly?
Running windows or ubuntu (linux)?

Unrevoked forever is for cdma and cdma are dvt not pvt so that's not right

Oh thanks rootSU, only read "unrevoked".

In the same computer, it work with another Desire bravo that i rooted with alpharev

So what's your problem? I do not get it.

in the same computer fastboot work with on a bravo amoled device, and dont work with an other bravo scld device..
i think that the probleme is that the slcd one is not rooted well.
is it safe to reroot it with alpharev even it's s-off on bootloader?
thx

Okay, now I get it. No, I would say to set the slcd one back to stock and then S-OFF and root with revolutionary:
http://revolutionary.io
But read the documentation page carefully and make sure your hboots is supported. If it's not, use unrevoked (first) and alpharev (second) seperately.

okey i will do that
thx MatDrOiD

Anytime. Don't forget the thanks-button.

[Q] HTC Desire stuck on htc logo with 4 trianges at each corners

I flashed BlackRose Hboot in my HTC Desire and then run latest RUU, It appear HTC logo and 4 triangles at each corner after flashing. Someone tell me BlackRose Hboot is just for NexusOne and then I flashed bravo_alphasp1.img but failed.
Can you help me?

did RUU process finish?
can you boot to fastboot?

Thanks for your reply.
Yes, I use RUU_HTC Desire Android 2.3 Upgrade (Gingerbread) but fail shown error code [152] : IMAGE UPDATE ERROR
No, it stay on black screen with HTC logo and 4 triangels after reboot.

where phone got stuck on 152 error? was it system, radio etc
try to flash alpharev downgrade via fastboot and reboot again to fastboot
then run ruu and pray...

This has happened before in the sandvold irc. It lasted a while before I left. I'm not sure if it got fixed in the end. We tried everything we could think of. I certainly had decided it was bricked. Last I knew, _thalamus had started asking qquestions so if anyone knows whether it was recovered, it will be him...

My Desire shows Bootloader and System - Fail PU after flashing RUU. The fastboot command can be still worked in DOS mode but adb command isn't work.

Not much help at this point but I had a desire in the same state a few weeks ago and it lives and breathes again. For the life of me I cant remember how I finally fixed it.
I believe I had to create a goldcard and flash an RUU.
IIRC you have a Locked bootloader. There is a section on the HTC website that might help.

what happens when you try to flash an alpharev hboot?

This is much more serious than yours. This has had an spl from another device flashed. All op can hope if that fastboot will flash a new hboot.

That's just great. Apparently Black Rose employs a similiar protection like Alpharev. Better contact the dev team of BR, and get them to help unlock it.

Unlock it, then flash Alpharev followed by Boot, Recovery and Radio for the Desire (NOT Nexus One!).
Once you get the correct radio and recovery on it, you can install a custom rom.

Sorry about this we have a guy here who flashed BlackRose on HTC Desire - someone told him ?!? Could you please take a look on safe removal of BlackRose and get stock or alpharev hboot on[/QUOTE]
Wow...
Did you flashed blackrose on your desire?
First, disable flashing protect by using blackrose installer.
(Advanced section, ignore device list)
Then, fastboot flash hboot (alpharev image file name)

[Q] Problems updating clockworkmod

I have been trying to update my HTC desire to the new touch version of clockworkmod (5.8.0.2) however from within the rom manager app, updating says it completes however on reboot nothing has changed, so I tried doing it manually, i run the command
Code:
fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.2-bravo.img
each time i get the error when writing the recovery saying
"FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
How can I fix this?
I also tried flashing 5.0.2.0, with the same error, it still says its running 2.5.0.7 :/
please help
Thanks

are you s-on? if yes you can' flash it via fastboot
post info from fastboot mode

Thank you for the reply Kotag
My phone is in s-on
and the info is here attached as a screen shot
thanks

I presume you used unrevoked to get root... It comes with CWM 2.5.0.7
You could flash custom recovery from menu but never mind... go to alpharev.nl and get s-off as your hboot is 0.93 or you can use revolutionary (this is unrevoked and alpharev together)
after s-off you will be able to flash anything on the phone... including recovery

Thanks ill try that
yes i did use unrevocked
will making s-off will i have to reflash my rom and lose my data? :/
and also how wud i flash recovery then, because i thought u said earlier that in s-off i cant falsh in fastboot :/?

sorry just noticed my mistake... if you s-on I meant... post edited - reading too many threads
you should not loose any data if everything goes normal... do back up before just in case

When I s-off my phone, date and time always restart to 6 jan 1980 1:00
Anybody had a same problem? Im not s-off anymore
