[Q] After S-OFF (AlphaRev 1.8) Desire boot in FASTBOOT

Today I did S-OFF with AlphaRev 1.8 on my HTC Desire.
All sems okay but then I would to boot my phone but it just boots into FASTBOOT. And if I press reboot it boots again into FASTBOOT so I cant boot my Desire!
What should I do?
In the FASTBOOT main stand that I have "BRAVO PVT3 SHIP S-OFF".
I use CyanogenMod 7 RC1.

Does recovery not work at all or is it just booting in to fastboot?
If recovery works you need to restore a nandroid or reflash your rom.
If recovery doesn't work flash a recovery image via fastboot and then flash a rom.

@TheGhost1233
Thank you very much for your fast help!
I resored my NAND backup and now it works fine again. But what did I made wrong that my phone doesn't work?
I followed the Tutorial from pocketpc (I can't post links because I'm new here). My Desire was rooted with unREVoked before.

EVO in bootloop, can't install recovery. Any hope?

I have an EVO 4G that's stuck in a bootloop. It was previously rooted (Hboot displays S-off) but there doesn't appear to be any recovery installed. It gets stuck at the white HTC screen and then reboots infinitely.
I tried flashing Amon_Ra via hboot, but when I actually reboot and select recovery, it goes back into a bootloop.
I tried installing clockwork and Amon_Ra via fastboot but it wouldn't work, there was an error about remote commands not being allowed.
I tried reflashing with an RUU (RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.26.651.6_Radio_2.15.00.07.28_NV_1.40_release_140444_signed) and it flashes 100% with no problems, but then goes back into bootloop.
As far as I can remember, I've exhausted most of my known options. Is there any hope for getting this thing out of bootloop, or is it pretty much a softbrick?

I would try selecting clear storage from the bootloader.

Thanks for the reply. I tried Clockwork 3 and Recovery 3.70, both still resulted in the bootloop. I guess something is just wrong with this phone's recovery, I've tried several different recoveries. I can't even really unroot it since I can't get into recovery to flash unrevoked s-on.

Well what you can do is flash a PC36IMg of a 3.70 ruu, flash in the bootloader, technically unrooted, though you have s-off, then try again.

I can't remember which RUU I used, but it flashed hboot 0.93, which I was able to downgrade to 0.76 for fastboot command support. I've flashed recovery manually using fastboot commands and still no dice. I'm guessing there's some kind of hardware issue with this device that's preventing it from properly flashing and/or loading the recovery.
On another random note, is there any way to get adb via hboot or fastboot? When in fastboot, the phone shows up as "My HTC" under ADB Interface, but only fastboot commands work, not adb commands.
And also, what does the hboot usb driver do? I have it installed, but I can't actually figure out what functionality it has.

[Q] Desire, bricked?

Hello!
I orginally rooted my HTC Desire 2.3 with revolutionary. I run the orginal Desire RUU RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.1_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121684.
But now it seems like the phone is bricked or something. My phone is booting, but it stops on the "HTC startup screen". When trying to access recovery i just get the HTC startup screen to.
Any solution of what to do?
Thanks.
Best regards from
Jonathan Ibsen

okay there are two situations that may have happened to you:
1.The recovery was flashed badly so you can't boot into recovery but it doesn't make the phone to not boot.. but anyway it can be solved by flashing a custom recovery.. I recommend you to choose ClockworkMod.. 100000000 instructions over the net how to do that.. just google : flash the clockworkmod recovery manually
2.the s-off process may have breaked your hboot tables.. so you can't boot.. you can solve it by flashing a custom Hboot table. but you have to be able to boot into fastboot.. it can be down by holding down the vol down key alongside the power button.. so the phone will boot into Fastboot USB.. so connect your usb then download a custom HBoot table from Alpharev.nl and flash it by using fastboot console.. : the command : "fastboot flash hboot xxxx.img" while replacing the xxxx with your image name...

Thanks for the help. I tried both, now i have clockworkmod installed again. But my phone is still not able to boot, i tried to use a nandroid backup, and also tried to install some roms. But the phone dont go longer than to the HTC boot screen.

If USB briked try using AndroidFlasher1.8.0 to fix (click File and then USB brick fix) and boot in fastboot mode (back+power) to install recovery image

USB brick is not the problem..

First of all, you should use the latest htc ruu:
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.exe
Now to your problem: You s-offed your phone with revolutionary. So your hboot version get updated. As far as I know, to a version which is protected against overwriting by ruu. You need to flash hboot downgrader in fastboot from alpharev site first:
http://alpharev.nl - don't forget to check md5sum.
If you need a guide for fastboot, see my sig.
After you flashed hboot downgrader, you can flash ruu. The same problem was discussed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1224670

then install official ru and start the s-off from scratch. after that install recovery with android flasher and install a custom rooted rom and youll be fine

Thanks, it worked! Great to have you guys.

- Make sure you have a nandroid backup before attempting any of this
- You need to be S-OFF to flash a different hboot. Search 'revolutionary' if you are S-ON
- If the PB99IMG.zip method doesn't work for some reason, try flashing it manually through fastboot
- Remember you can't just flash cm7r2 hboot without a ROM which is compatible with it, otherwise it won't boot up (phone will get stuck on splash screen otherwise). You must either:
be already on a cm7r2 compatible ROM. After flashing the cm7r2 hboot, reboot into recovery, full wipe and then restore the nandroid
or have a cm7r2 ROM.zip alreay on the sdcard to make it easier. After flashing the cm7r2 hboot, boot into recovery, full wipe and then flash new ROM.zip.

Problems with downgrading from Evervolv Kitkat to Oxygen

Hi,
I'm not content with the performance of KitKat ROMs on the desire and wanted to try an older Gingerbread ROM. I wanted to try MildWild 5 or Oxygen 2.3.2 but I'm having problems.
I was on HBoot Alpharev Jelly (250/5/182) and was running TWRP 2.7.1.0. I tried to flash the HBoot oxygen r2 alpharev, which worked fine, but then I couldn't boot into TWRP any more I just get stuck at the TWRP boot logo.
I guessed it was maybe due to system partition being too small for twrp (?) and flashed cm7r2 hboot, but that didn't help, still stuck at TWRP boot screen. After that I tried to flash 4ext v1.0.0.5 RC9 recovery, but this one boots without showing me any buttons (really strange). I can drag down the "Welcome to 4EXT Recovery Touch by madmaxx82 (...etc)"-screen so this recovery seems to work a little bit?! Useless without any buttons tho.
I'm really confused and don't want to continue as I'm apparently not as certain about what I'm doing as I thought I was.
Do I need CWM Recovery for gingerbread ROMs? Are TWRP and 4EXT not working because system partition is too small? (as I said above, I'm atm on Bravo CM7 r2 (145/5/287) from http://alpharev.nl/
What do I need to do to get older ROMs working?

Recovery is installed to a separate partition, not the /system partition so that's not the problem.
TWRP or 4EXT should work fine for installation of any ROM. I personally used 4EXT for older GB ROMs no issue.
All I can suggest is to redownload the 4EXT recovery.img, check the md5sum and flash using fastboot
As a last resort, backup everything (apps/contacts/SMS etc), and flash the 2.3.3 RUU to go completely stock (+stock recovery)
Then S-OFF and flash 4EXT again.

I'm very puzzled at the moment.
I thought running the 2.3.3 RUU won't get you back to S-On as alpharev hboots are protected? I also don't quite see the reason for going S-On again.
I tried flashing TWRP 2710, TWRP 2630 and 4EXT v1.0.0.5 RC9 using either fastboot or PB99IMG-method. I get no errors while flashing, but the recoveries don't work properly. TWRP always gets stuck at its boot screen and 4ext boots, but then doesn't show me any buttons. I checked the MD5 of the images before flashing every time.
My bootloader atm shows me:
AlphaRev CM7 r2
BRAVO PVT3 SHIP S-OFF

I was on TWRP 2710 when I changed my hboot from alpharev jelly to alpharev oxygen r2 (or now alpharev cm7 r2). This recovery has a bug which deletes the tmp directory all the time (you can't flash from this recovery unless you run "mkdir tmp" in a terminal). Could this be the reason why the recoveries now are not working any more?
I think I'll try to flash alpharev jelly and restore a nandroid (to see if a recovery would work then) before running a RUU.

Flashed alpharev jelly hboot and the recovery is working again (atm twrp 2630)
So how do I do this properly without running into the same problem again?

Simply wipe everything except for the SD card of course and then flash your new hboot.

It works now.
What I did: Flash 4EXT recovery on alpharev jelly, flash manwild from recovery, wipe everything except sdcard, flash alpharev cm7r2, flash Manwild
No idea what went wrong in the first place, but everything works now and the ROM is great!
Thanks!
