Hey Guys,
I've got an HTC Desire, from 3 - it came with all the Three UK stuff on it (like the boot screen etc), but I rooted it, and flashed it with OXYGEN MOD, the latest one...but I'm now sending my phone in for a small repair job, and need to reflash it to stock.
I've made the goldcard etc, and am trying to flash it with an RUU H3G_UK rom, which I downloaded (RUU_Bravo_H3G_UK_1.22.771.1_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127568_signed.exe). However, when I try to update it using PB99IMG.zip method, it says:
Code:
'Main Version is older!'
'Update Fail!'
'Do you want to reboot device?'
'<VOL UP> Yes'
'<VOL DOWN> No'
Any ideas as to what I should do?
Cheers. Phil.
Oh, and I thought I should post this too:
Code:
BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.93.00001
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNW0101
RADIO-5.11.05.14

Yep this happens because you will not be able to downgrade the hboot with this official update, and because it is an old 3 rom, it contains an old bootloader.
You will either have to find a newer 3 rom with something like 0.93 bootloader or a newer wwe rom(3/htc won't care).
You might also be able to somehow flash an older bootloader using an s-off bootloader and fastboot, and then run the update afterwards, but that is way too complicated.
Which part of this?:
Code:
RUU_Bravo_H3G_UK_1.22.771.1_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127568_signed.exe
...contains the HBOOT version?
It doesn't, but the branded official roms are always that old, and as the rom version is 1.xx i know it is an android 2.1 rom, which means hboot 0.75 or 0.80.
Also your error message state the problem quite clearly.
And to clarify my last answer.. No you will not be able to find a 3 branded rom with a 0.93 hboot, so go for a wwe instead.
What about this?

Don't use that - your Desire didn't come on that 3 UK RUU so no idea how it'll behave as you have a PVT4 Desire
There isn't a newer RUU and those old ones are for AMOLED Desire's only - you're kinda stuck
That might and might not work. It depends on the hboot included. The topic you link to uses a hboot version 0.83, because it works with all slcd phones as well. So if the 3 ruu contains 0.83 as well, this should work, and if it doesn't, you wont be able to install it anyway.
Now for gods sake please listen to me when i tell you that neither 3 nor htc will care whether your phone contains a branded rom.. They might not even care if it is rooted. So please just flash the damn wwe 2.2 rom...
My last post in here i think you get what i think you should do and i cant/wont help you risking doing something stupid.
Good news fellows
I flashed it using this:
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed
and it worked no problem, I'm now back running Froyo 2.2 woop. cheers!
Ok so I have just upgraded the ROM on my HTC Desire from LeeDrOiD 2.3 to 2.4 and I have noticed on a few places mention that its possible to upgrade the HBOOT on the phone?
Is this correct or something that is not really relevant and should not be touched?
stock HBOOT got S-ON (NAND Protection by HTC).
As long as you get no problems flashing / booting new CustomROMs on your phone,
or if you dont need APPs whitch requires S-OFF, then there is no need of updating HBOOT.
Which HBOOT version do you have ? 0.93.0001 ?
Can I downgrade Hboot 1.02.0000 to get S-OFF?

I also wanted to know how to downgrade the hboot 1.0.2. other way is that alpharev update version of its software and included in this a patch for the new version hboot.
continue in the search.

try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1277266
just to be clear - this doesn't work
There is no S-OFF for HBOOT 1.02.0000 on the MT3GS.
In your travels you may have also found links to this encouraging post at http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1277266
I've tried this method, walked through it all, even tried some other things and generally wasted a lot of time...
So just to be clear for those searching and finding this wonderful link to a possible method... IT DOESN'T WORK.

and used to have S-OFF until the F*&ing warranty replacement came 2.2.1ing along
HTC lets you unlock your bootloader
go to htc or look on here and you should find out how to do it its for us with 1.02 but i havent been able to do it let and having a unlocked bootloader is the same thing just for the hboot 1.02 like s-off is for hboots lower i hope i helped
Hi I was one of those unfortunate people that had rooted my phone before the 1.72 update for my t-mobile / htc desire z
Going into hboot it says it has the aforementioned hboot, s-off.
Radio version is 26.10.04.03_M
Is this version still able to get su rights by flashing it with an earlier rom? Do I have to bypass certain steps from the guide here ?
Or do I have a higher brick risk? Phone is running ok but I would like to experiment with my phone a little bit. Later this year my contract ends anyway...
Just bought a HTC M8 from China..took a while to arrive but all is good and works great and very fast.. my question is: the software version on it is 4.4.4 which i believe is KitKat.. when searching for new software updates it finds nothing, i thought it would at least update to Lollipop 5.0 so i'm wanting to manually push the update into the phone and update that way if possible? The phone is S-On in the bootloader so i know i need to get Sunshine S-Off to get that sorted but thats about all i do know - i have flashed the M7 a few times with custom ROMs but that was a while ago and forget how to do it - If anyone can help or point me in the right direction to where i can get the version 6.0 update ROM or a good custom one i'd be much appreciative.. thank you
