Thats kinnda what I did I think....And the problem is that my phone is stuck on htc logo screen. So now I would be happy just to get back to working phone.
Can you get in to the hboot by starting phone by pressing volume down + power? And I think latest ruu is the ruu_bravo_froyo_htc_wwe_2.29.405.5

Well I need ruu for europe cuz im theere. And yes,I can get into hboot. From there I tryed recovery.
I'm from europe too and the right ruu for mine phone is the RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00. 32U_5.11.05.27
And i think you have to use that one because of the hboot. the ruu you are using have a old hboot version and i dont think the ruu will downgrade hboot..
But if you can enter fasboot use that to flash a recovery and wipe youre phone then install a custome room on it.

AlphaRev
BRAVO PVT3 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.93.1002
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101

Before installing RUU, make sura that you have installed Alpharev stock hboot
1. download from alpharev.nl the file "bravo_alphaspl.img" then put it on your desire with fastboot
2. install RUU
I did that 5 minutes ago..

Also take care to not flash versions older than 2.0 unless you're sure that you have a AMOLED and not SLCD.
Command:
In Fastboot mode:
fastboot flash hboot hbootname.img

Unless the computer/phone has ESP, yes, both adb and fastboot need a cable connection!
If you dont want to do it over cable, find the corresponding PB99IMG and follow the PB99IMG method

Use the attached file.
Put it in the root of your card (not in any folder)
Reboot by pressing Vol- and Power button.
When asked to update, confirm with Vol -
This should give you a working recovery. Then you can flash any rom as you usually do, and at that instance, your bootloops will be solved too.
After this, if you still wish to return Hboot to Stock (without losing S-Off), you can use this PB99IMG. <Make sure you rename it to the same name as the previous file after deleting the former.

Hello. I want to make sure that the method I read about of flashing the Radio is correct, since this could permanently brick my device.
I have ROOT and S-OFF but nu custom hboot yet. My partitions are stock.
I. To flash a RADIO:
1. Go into recovery
2. Choose install zip from sd
3. Choose zip from sd
4. Confirm
5. Reboot
II. If later I want to flash a custom HBOOT:
1. Download the HBOOT I want (and rename it to PB99IMG.zip)
2. Put it on root of SD card
3. Boot into bootloader (Volume Down + Power)
4. It will ask If I want to upgrade the HBOOT - Select Yes
5. It will reboot on it's own ???
6. Install ROM
Check MD5 of Radio and ROM.
Also I'm unable to check the MD5 of the zip file I've downloaded from AlphaRev - PB99IMG.zip, because it doesn't match. Is this ok?
Are these steps correct?
If there are also other way's I'm more than gladly to know.
I know about AndroidFlasher, but I don't want to risk upgrading from PC, cause lately there were some power down's of the electricity I don't want to risk to happen when I'm in the middle of flashing something as important as Radio or HBOOT.
Thank you for all your help.
L.E.: When do I need to flash the HBOOT downgrader? When I want to go from one HBOOT to another do I always have to first flash the downgrader and then the HBOOT, or there are only certain HBOOT's that I have to apply this prior to installing another HBOOT?

Thanks. I know about this, because I already flashed a ROM (CyanogenMod 7), and I know it is always a necessity to do a full Wipe, especially when you're coming from another ROM.

To check the md5sum you have to extract the hboot.img from the downloaded pm99img.zip file and compare its to the one you can find on the homepage.
Nevetheless, I highly recommend to flash new hboot with fastboot, because the method with the pb99img.zip does not work very often.
Download the image you want, for example the cm7 r2 hboot (bravo_alphaspl-cm7r2.img). Store it anywere you want, I recommend a place where you can go very easily, maybe partition C.
Check the md5sum!!!!
Boot your phone into fastboot mode (start it with pressed back and power button). Now start cmd in windows, connect phone to computer and type:
Code:
fastboot devices
The output should be:
Code:
List of devices attached
HTxxxxxxxxxxxxx device
Instead of xxxxxxxx you should see the serial number of your phone. If it's so, enter the following comments:
Code:
fastboot flash hboot c:\bravo_alphaspl-cm7r2.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
Now you have new hboot (in this example cm7r2.) In the first line of your bootloader you should see "AlphaRev Cm7r2".
Thank you. I'll save this text for further uses. So this is the best way to flash another HBOOT.
The method to flash the radios is good?
Thanks.

personally I find it A LOT easier and quicker to use fastboot tools such as fastboot commander. I think it's also better for novice users, and it gives you functions that novice users may not know when it comes to using fastboot with cmd.

Thanks. I am very aware that I shouldn't flash any file that hasn't the right MD5, but thank you for repeating it one more time.
So I've a looked more around and found out that flashing the Radio is as I described it. So I'll take my time now to flash the new Radio (5.17.05.08) and then the new ROM.
Still one question remained unanswered. If someone could help me:

Alpharev uploaded r2 of the hboots for cm7 and oxygen. These two hboots have a protection, that they cannot be overwritten. So if you are using one of these hboots, you have to flash hboot downgrader before you can flash a new hboot.

I have read this thread before I ROOT-ed my phone. It would probably be more easy to flash either Radio or HBOOT through fastboot, but since I've got the problem I mentioned about in first post, I don't want to take the risk. What if the power goes down when I'm in the middle of flashing...then there goes down the phone too
I'll try the fastboot command when I can use my GF's laptop.
Thank you very much.
So to use the HBOOT Downgrader I have to have first one of the two (either Bravo Oxygen r2 or Bravo CM7 r2), and then if I want to put another HBOOT: Flash HBOOT Downgrader ---> Flash HBOOT Bravo Stock ---> Flash Other HBOOT.
Ok. Now I got it al sorted out.
Thanks for all the help.

The step with stock hboot is not needed. You can flash downgrader and then directly the new hboot. The downgrader deletes all partitions.

you only need to flash the HBOOT downgrader from alpharev when you are using a RUU to unroot your phone. Aplharev's HBOOT's are designed so that a RUU will not overwrite the HBOOT - untill you downgrade it using the downgrade utility.

THX a billion!
Im on cm7r2 and want to reverse to stock.
Was looking for exactly this answer!
I to read somewhere that someone just flashes the hboots that he wants,
but not talking about downgrader-use (couldnt find it again - so searched for something like this answer!). And Alpharev dont say anything about
using the downgrader only this:
"Downgrade protection, these HBOOTs cannot be overwritten by an OTA or RUU, unless you flash a downgrader HBOOT first."
So downgrader is only nesccesary if wanting to go stock with a RUU or U want to get OTA.
So, UsManyDead... whatever hboot U use, just flash the next hboot U want.
(remember backup and all that sht. )

Well... Im on cm7r2 and I will try flashing stock hboot now,
so hang on for 5-10 min, and Ill let U know, if the proces
of NOT using the downgrader is good or not...
Hang on..........
Flashed BRAVO stock WITHOUT downgrader... succes!
From CM7 R2 to STOCK in a splitsecond!
Before flash: Alpharev cm7 r2
After flash: Alpharev
Thanks a lot man. It's finally sorted out.

I think you'll have to S-OFF and root again and then flash the stock recovery using fastboot. Just use this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14693680 and instead of using a custom recovery use your "stock" package
No need to do s-off again.
If you are on hboot 1.01.0001 just flash the wwe_froyo_ruu. Or even you can use pc49img method. And if you are on hboot 1.01.0002 then you need to use pc49img method from froyo ota.zip of that hboot you used.
And if your hboot is 0.80 you can use the above 2methods of ECLAIR update. Or use unrevoked to point to the stock recovery image from the file menu (but remember on using unrevoked you will get root permissions).
EASIEST METHOD : Flash the ruu or ota that you have taken the hboot from (while reverting back to S-ON).
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Thank you guys i'll try the above mentioned methods
Used the pc49img mathod bot during the fastboot it only reads the zip containing recovery and a blue bar atthe side appears but gives no option to install ......i think it is because that i have done s-on my device due to which it does not allow me to install recovery.
I think i should do s-off again and flash stock recovery using pc49img method and then do s-on again.....give any suggestions then i'll try
You don't have to do s-off.
Now in your case installing recovery through pc49img method means not just installing the recovery alone. If you extract the recovery.img file HTC signature will be lost. And it is in hboot menu and not fastboot menu. What you have to do is to install all official contents without extracting the file. And another important thing is sdcard must be fat32.
If you taken hboot from ota (during reverting to s-on), then this is the way. Extract the contents of ota and you will find firmware.zip . Now donot modify this firmware.zip and just keep it in the root of sdcard. Then rename the firmware.zip to pc49img.zip and reboot to hboot menu.
And if you have taken hboot from an RUU, then just run the RUU process.

Lothaen, come on, u too? the revolutionary/alpharev hbootS have a downgrader protection..Mean nothing can overwriting the hboot (even an official ruu can't overwrite/change it)...To allow to change hboot u have to flash the downgrader hboot that u can find on the aplharev site..Then, after flashed the downgrader hboot (still s-off) the hboot is no more protected, then u can run the ruu..and this time the ruu will overwrite the hboot, giving u s-on....
The question is why everyone (looks the lot threads coming up) need s-on, just after u got s-off? lol
All of us need to know how to make S-ON again....because we still keep the warranty on this way

hehe - i never looked into it as i was s-on for a long time and now i s-off'd i thought nothing of it...
i did assume as the hboot was rolled UP some versions then it wouldn't overwrite with an older version easily, but i only tested it today as i was having issues with my market and wanted to check it wasnt a rom
only reason for s-on really is warranty?
Hello,
I have a question, I have the official GB, S-Off, but how did you guys managed to root?

Does Revolutionary give me root?
No. You will need to flash this zipfile from recovery.

No, flash the zip from the recovery
Do you want root ur current gb rom? Or do you want flash an other custom rom that u can find on the development section?
In both cases, boot ur phone into recovery:
-go on settings/application and untick fast boot (if u have it enabled)
-power off completely ur phone
-press and HOLD volume down, then press (still holding vol down) the power button and wait for the bootloader screen to show up
-select recovery with the volume keys and confirm with the power button
Then to root ur current rom flash this zip
Otherwise, if u want flash a different rom, already rooted, choice one from the development section and follow the thread rom instruction
Lot of tutorials around how to use the recovery (backup, flash, restore) if u need it

If I do this, I select recovery, appears a phone with a red triangle... and goes nowhere...
If this allowed me to select a zip to flash, I would had flashed a recovery like clockwork mod. But it stays there with the red triangle

Otherwise u can also use the PB99IMG method, search somewhere how
Ah... now worked. Gone there to #58, read your advice, done it. Now is OK !
Thank you
My device is s-off. But I can't change hboot. Flashed cm7r2 over stock and my system memory was inaccessible through recovery. I was unable to format the system and flash a new Rom. I returned back to stock hboot and everything was normal. But now even if I place the zip file of cm7r2 hboot at the root of my sdcard (of course I renamed it as needed) the bootloader won't detect anything. So I m stuck with stock hboot now.
What shall I do??? Tried to flash via fastboot but it gives error.
The bootloader still shows s-off. I have changed my hboot earlier so many times. From cm7r2, stock to oxygenr2 and data++.
Any help pl...
Flash the downgrader first. Get it from the alpha rev site. Last download. Then flash the hboot you want.
To install it from sd-card, rename the zip to PB99IMG.zip.

I downloaded the downgrader from alphqrev.nl, renamed it, and placed it on the root of my sd card. But the bootloader does not detect any zip file...
What shall I do???
It should detect it. Are you sure you renamed it properly?

Make sure it is named PB99IMG.ZIP

Flash the downgrader first ( last download on the alpharev site) , reboot bootloader, flash desired hboot.
