how to install oxygen HBOOT

hi
i've just made my desire S-off.
but i wasnt able to flash HBOOT Oxygen rc7
need help
thanks

Did the same thing today, except i was running Oxygen v2.0.3.
All i did was to:
1. Download the PB99IMG_bravo_oxygen.zip from alpharev website
2. Rename it to PB99IMG.zip
3. Place it on the root of the sdcard (not in any subfolders)
4. Enter Hboot (vol-down + power)
5. Here i was asked to update/install , choose "yes"
6. Confirm
Done

thanks for reply
i did as you said
but after i entered HBOOT i wasnt asked to install any update install
it automatically tried to install and appeared following messages
"SD checking
Loading....(PB99DIAG.zip)
No image!
Loading....(PB99DIAG.nbh)
No image or wrong image!
Loading....(PB99IMG.zip)
No image

no image or wrong image!"

Then you've not got the file on your SD card

Ok. I checked again
This time i got CID incorrect
Update failed error

Think you need a gold card too to do it this way

So what should i do exactly?

Flashing Custom MTD/HBOOT
Once S-OFF is done, you are ready to flash the custom MTD/HBOOT. This step changes your internal memory partition table such that the new RoM can fit appropriately while leaving lot of room for user data. Once this is done, the old RoM will no longer work with the new layout of MTD. Before doing this step, ensure all your backups are in place and you have copied all necessary files to the SD Card. (The ROM .zip and the .zip for HBOOT if you are using method 2 below)
Before you do this, it is a good idea to ensure that your HBOOT download is correct and not corrupted. You can do this but checking the MD5 checksum of your download againts the MD5 checksum listed on alpharev site against the download.You can use any of the free tools available.
There are two ways to do this:
Method 1 - fastboot flash: If you downloaded the .img file linked earlier, use the following procedure to install it:
Power down the phone and turn it back on with the back button pressed down; you will see the "fastboot" screen,
From your PC command line, cd into the folder where your android-sdk is and cd into tools folder,
Connect the phone to PC via USB cable,
Run the following command: 'fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img' replacing the .img filename with the appropriate path and file name (Eg: C:\Downloads\HTC\RoM's\bravo_alphaspl-cm7.img),
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
Select bootloader then select Recovery (use volume up/down to change, and power key to accept the choice),
WARNING: Don't reboot your phone as yet because the MTD you flashed doesn't match your current Rom's layout so it will probably boot-loop or brick your phone,
Method 2 - HBOOT autoflash: If you downloaded the .zip file linked earlier, follow this method:
Rename the .zip file to "PB99IMG.zip" and copy it to the root of your SD card,
Shutdown your phone and restart it into HBOOT (Voldown + power button),
When the phone starts, it automatically will detect the zip file and install the MTD,
Now you can enter recovery and follow the procedure.
Note: Many users have had CID errors when trying this method so it is recommended to use Method 1 above

Method one is the most stable imo

Thank you very much for the posts I have been looking everywhere for good instructions !!
Unfotunately I get the error
"This application has failed to start because adpwinapi.dll was not found. re installing the application may fix this problem"
Do I need to install android SDK manager again?
edit: nevermind. ADB doesnt recognise my phone

Download latest SDK and make sure you download Android SDK platform-tools revision 3, as well (in the additional packages)
Plus you must install the USB drivers from Unrevoked's site.

it gives my this error : cannot load bravo_aplhaspl-oxygen
what should i do?

Ive done both of that,
my list of ADB devices is still blank >.<
Ive tried using HTC sync before trying unrevoked method and still had the same issue

Did you uninstall HTC Sync?
You have to install HTC Sync first, then uninstall it but leave the drivers installed. Then plug the phone in and do the process in the unrevoked-link which davebugyi has already posted.
The adpwinapi.dll-file is in "platform-tools" folder. Just copy that file into the "tools" -folder (the folder, where the fastboot.exe-file is located) and you're done.

Quick question, will this wipe anything on your drive?

No, it shouldn't, but it's strongly sugggested to nandroid backup your phone beforehand.

Can anyone please explain the advantage of flashing a different HBOOT other than stock rooted one?

LOTS more available memory.
i have the oxygen hboot installed and with a dozen apps i still have 267mb free.
with the stock hboot i would be running out of memory by now

This memory would be RAM memory, right? We're not talking free space for installs, but rather free mem space for running apps?
Also, do I have to S-off to flash hboot? So far I only have rooted device (rooted using unREVOKED).

nope we are talking about space for installing apps
the oxygen hboot alters the partition sizes for system and cache.
whats left is the data partition and thats all all yours
Stock Hboot about 147mb data partition
new hboot 337
so 190mb more

[Q] Where to start?

Hi,
I just bought a Desire today.
its
S-OFF
rooted
running leedroid v2.3d
thats all I know.
Im downloading the InsertCoin Sense 2.1 1.0.8 CM7 Rom right now.
How do I get things right without messing up my phone?
pls someone guide me how to install this rom propely and what's the required files etc2
Im really confused right now.
read a bunch of stuff here and couldnt find an answer
hopefully someone would help me out
thanks!
edit:what's the MD5sum for?
it says as a requirement on the insercoin thread that its either a
A2SD CM7 HBOOT - cm7 hboot from alpharev.nl - the one with 130 mB for /system
- 1 gB ext2/3/4 partition
A2SD+ STOCK HBOOT - stock hboot - the one with 250 mB for /system
- 1 gB ext2/3/4 partition
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
which one should I use/download?
the ROM that I downloaded has a md5sum of MD5: b7e9f7e7dc60b79874920dfcde50ac76
please please anyone?

MD5 sum is to chceck if your download was uncorrupted. MD5 of downloaded file must be identical to the one provided in ROM thread ALWAYS CHECK MD5 SUMS, if you flash for example corrupted hboot or radio it WILL brick your device
now, what you must do, since you are already rooted and S-OFFed:
1) make sure you have 1GB ext3/4 partition on your SD card, AFTER FAT32
if it is there, you are OK, if not use Gparted (bootable CD) to make one, mount SDcard in recovery and partition your SD
2) since you downloaded CM7 hboot version of insertCoin go to alpharev.nl and download CM7r2 PB99IMG then put it to the root of your SDcard and boot phone into bootloader (vol down+power) then wait until it finds the file and accept the flashing of new hboot >> this will change partition layout. [2nd method possible but you would have to have ADB @ pc correctly set up, which i doubt you have, so do it PB99IMG way CHECK MD5)
3) boot into recovery, wipe all, wipe dalvik and choose to flash downloaded insertcoin.zip
once it ends reboot, and after 15min it should boot up android, if not pull the battery cause smth didnt work out.
what could have gone wrong:
-your sd-ext wasnt done properly (double check or re-do)
-your recovery was outdated (report back here, i will help you updating it)

thanks for the response!
how do i check for the md5 of my downloaded file?
I have a clockworkmod v2.5.0.7
im downloading gparted now and will the files on to a disc after.
or can I use any partition master apps?like minitool or easeus partition?
please guide me how to partition it properly
its a 16gb kingston class 6
and how do i update my recovery just do be sure
edit: sorry for these noobie questions. I was really shocked how hard it is compared to flashing hd2s and defys
and yeah I have adb installed on my pc with the required files in it. the thing is I never used it. not even once sorry :0
anyway will try repartitioning my sd card now

you can check MD5 with program called HashTAB: once you install it, right click on file, choose properties and choose file hashes panel.
updating your recovery: find topic here on desire forums for clockwork mod 4.0.0.5 - if you download a .zip file you can use a fake-flash method which means booting into CWM 2.5.0.7 then choosing to flash CWM4.0.0.5.zip and this will launch new CWM, however you must do it every time you go into recovery.
if you want a permanent install of CWM 4.0.0.5 download its .img file, check MD5, put it into your androidSDK folder, put your phone into fastboot mode (back+power) and in windows command prompt (cmd) type:
cd X:/ANDROIDSDKLOCATION/tools [navigate to your SDK installation folder]
fastboot devices [this should give a serial number]
fastboot flash recovery FILENAME.img [.img file must be inside /tools folder]
and it will flash it permanently
you can find a video tutorial on how to partition SD in Desire Android Development sticky thread, its one of the first 3 or 4 threads, videos for noobs, all is there
also in thread tagged [TUT] you can find video on how to use ADB

I just partitioned my sd properly w/ gparted
downloaded the Desire_recovery-clockwork-4.0.0.5-j_r0dd_mod.zip
what do you recomend?fake flash or flash it permanently?
and could you please clarify this
2) since you downloaded CM7 hboot version of insertCoin go to alpharev.nl and download CM7r2 PB99IMG then put it to the root of your SDcard and boot phone into bootloader (vol down+power) then wait until it finds the file and accept the flashing of new hboot >> this will change partition layout. [2nd method possible but you would have to have ADB @ pc correctly set up, which i doubt you have, so do it PB99IMG way CHECK MD5)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I downloaded the PB99IMG_cm7r2.zip, what should I place on the root of my SD card?the zip file or the .IMG file?then once I press vol+power I just wait then accept then it will install it?
then after that I just copy the nandroid backup onto my SD card and flash?
one more thing.
what's the best or recommended radio?
note:I cant connect to any data connection.either using 2g/wcdma,wdcma only or 2g only.
I dont know if it's the rom or what.hope its not a hardware issue though
My reception is always full by the way
note:here's what I did. placed the PB99IMG.zip on the sd then turned the device off then pressed vol down + power, a prompt asked for a update.I said yes then asked me to reboot. I answered no then went to clockwork recovery then flashed the insercoin rom after wiping cache and dalvik and factory data reset.rebooted the device and now im waiting for my phone to completely boot.
hope I made everything right

you gotta read more carefully dude
as i said, if you downloaded CWM.ZIP (ZIP FILE) FAKE-FLASH is the ONLY thing you can do with it. if you would have .IMG FILE permanent flasing from fastboot would be the only possibility. SOZ BOUT THAT !!! i just looked at this files, it is not flashable ZIP, this is an .img file packed into a .zip (LOL) unpack it, check MD5 Sum provided inside the .zip file and flash it using fastboot !!!
also some instructions taken from alpharev.nl (they are just under the table with hboots): You can also download the corresponding PB99IMG zipfile, put it on your sdcard, and rename it to PB99IMG.zip. Then start the phone in HBOOT mode (VolDown+POWER) to flash the HBOOT without a PC. It is however still necessary to either restore your nandroid, or reflash your ROM after doing this. The partition LAYOUT has changed, the actual data still needs to be 'moved'.
so rename the cm7r2.zip you have to PB99IMG.zip and put it on your SD (not in any folders) then go to bootloader with VolDown+Power, wait around 10 seconds and confirm flashing new HBOOT
after doing this, you cannot simply restore a NANDROID (if a ROM was made for stock hboot, it will not work on CM7 hboot this should be kinda obvious) you must flash a ROM designed form CM7 hboot so, for example InsertCoin CM7 (it is because on stock hboot system files are 250MB, and then on CM7 you have only 145mb, so restoring a NANDROID that had 250MB/system wont work, wont fit, wont boot)
i suggest you read full info available on www.alpharev.nl
best radio ? well i am an up-to-date geek so i always use the newest though you should be fine with any. if you encounter any problems though (with reception or wifi etc) you should consider upgrading your RADIO. however if you will change your HBOOT to CM7 (which is also treated as data++ by alpharev AND Ultimate Online Kitchen cause of the /cache size) you will be able to flash new radio ONLY from fastboot (it is also said on alpharev.nl :If you downloaded Bravo Data++, please notice the /cache partition is too small to hold Radio flashes from recovery. You can however flash the radio just fine with 'fastboot flash radio radio.img'. Just extract the radio.img from the radio update.zip beforehand.)
about data connection.
go into settings > wireless > acces points (you gotta find it, i dunno how are these named in other laungauges) and set up your APN correctly (you should find correct settings for your mobile provider on thier website, or just google it)
closing remarks:
remember that if ANYONE was helpful to you, hit the 'thanks' button if you got any more questions, i am more than happy to help

thanks a lot bro!
Im now running on insertcoin w/o any probs.
many many thanks for your help.
PS:gave you a couple of thanks

[Q] I really need help now with HBoot

I used this tutorial to root my HTC Desire:
http://techspalace.blogspot.com/2011/10/perm-root-htc-desire-gingerbread-233.html
Then I was using it for half a year and few days ago I downloaded LeeDroid 3.3.3 data ++ and successfully installed it but I had only 120mb free internal memory for apps with it. I was googlin a lot and i realized that Im using wrong HBoot (im newbie in that stuff). Then I found this tutorial how to flash cm7r2 hboot on desire (its required for leedroid ROM)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1223856
I followed the steps, downloaded http://alpharev.nl/PB99IMG_cm7r2.zip then I copied it to my SD card and renamed it to PB99IMG and rebooted my phone. It asked me if i want to update, i chose yes but then i rebooted and got stuck at HTC logo and white screen.
So I tried to restore my previous ROM via ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.0 but still Im stuck at HTC logo
(after restoring it says:
Restore complete!
E: Error in /cache/recovery/log
(No space left on device)
E: Error in /cache/recovery/last_log
(No space left on device)
Im not really skilled in all these things, can someone pls give me an advice how to get back on Revolutionary hboot and my old ROM or how to get this Alpharev cm7r2 bootloader working?
EDIT: Now i managed to install leedroid from sd again, but there was force closes of everything so I did factory reset and now I pass HTC logo but Im stuck at glowing "ANDROID" logo..... really need help
I think that if I would manage to get "revolutionary" back instead of "Alpharev cm7 r2" at bootloader, my old ROM backup would work.... but i dont know how to get "Revolutionary" bootloader back !

Hi,
you might want to try the following:
Download fastboot commander from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193915
Download the desired HBOOT from http://alpharev.nl/
Select the HBOOT that matches the ROM you want to install
Start the fastboot program, plug in your phone with USB (powered off) and start the phone in BOOTLOADER modus (VOLUME-DOWN + POWER)
there is an option fastboot, press it. You're now able to flash your HBOOT with fast commander.
Unzip the bravo_xxxx.zip so you get an xxx.img file. load this file in Fastboot->[TAB]Hboot, Radio & Rec->Hboot and press Flash Hboot. Wait for an OK.
Exit fastboot and go to recovery. Search for USB Mount (mount your SD-CARD to the USB) and search this SD-CARD in Windows Explorer. Copy the ROM in zip format you want to install on your SD-CARD and unmount.
Now select the option install from SD and select the zip file. Let it run and reboot.
(If you selected a rom which needs an EXT2 EXT3 or EXT4 partition, then partition this first, this is also possible in the recovery menu).
Hope this helps...

[Q] HELP! Cant flash Roms

Help my hox is lock on sentinel 4.75 and I cant flash any other rom onto it.
Every time I try to load another rom it crashed at the htc boot screen and never load (I have left it for up to 20 mins)
When this happens the only thing I can do is reload a nandroid of sentinel 4.75 and flash the boot image to return to my previous rom.
I have tried multiple roms including probam, sentinel 5.0, xenonhd and icj with no luck on any of them.
I am on Hboot 1.31 and have installed philz recovery.
Recently I found that my phone had no root access and had to reflash the rom - again the only one that worked was sentinel 4.75
Is there anything I can do to fix my phone to allow me to load another rom. Im finding different issues every time I reload sentinel and would really love to load something else.

Update the hboot

I am guessing that you are forgetting to flash the boot image included in the rom you desire to install.
For example you want to install sentinel v5.00.
update: forgot to mention that you need to update your hboot to run newer roms. you can find proper
hboot update files for your cid in xda forum. Credits to Mr Hofs for the reminder.
Follow these steps.
Technical terms:
adb or fastboot folder: a folder where you have fastboot.exe and adb.exe
HOX: HTC One X
preparation:
a. go to your fastboot or adb folder and rename any 'boot.img' to anything else, like sentinel475.img
b. download the zip file of the rom you want to install
c. copy this zip file into your HOX
d. open the zip file and copy the 'boot.img' file into your adb or fastboot folder
e. make sure your HOX has atleast 60% charge(50% is also fine)
Flashing procedure:
Reboot into recovery
Select 'wipe data/factory reset'
Select 'wipe data/factory reset for new rom' ( applicable to philz recovery only)
Then go back to main menu in recovery
Select 'install zip from sdcard'
Select the zip file, the one you copied to your HOX
Once it has been flashed properly
Reboot into bootloader
connect your HOX with your PC and make sure the HOX display shows 'fastboot usb' in red
open a command window and go to your fastboot folder
type in fastboot flash boot boot.img
type in fastboot erase cache
type in fastboot reboot
disconnect your hox and wait for 5 to 7 minutes for hox to boot into desktop
Thats it. I always follow these steps and everything is fine. You also have to flash gapps zip file but we need to get a proper rom
loaded first before we can do anything else. gapps is always flashable later so no worries about it.
BTW, does it say 'Unlocked' or 'Relocked' in your bootload on the top of the screen?
Can you post the steps you are following to flash other roms? May be you are missing some steps.
Most of the times, a rom will not boot if you don't flash the boot.img that came with the rom.
Thanks, and let me know your results
[Disclaimer: If you follow these steps then you automatically agree to not hold me and all xda forum staff and members responsible for
any damage that might have resulted following or not following these instructions properly or improperly.]

Leave the steps above for now. First give me the outcome of
Fastboot getvar version-main

Thanks rowlf I have installed a few roms before and am familiar with the installation process.
Sorry mistaken it is hboot 1.36
Mr hofs - the version is 3.14.707.24
In case you need cid is HTC__044

I suggest you run the ruu to get back to full stock and try to update via official ota.
http://www.androidruu.com/getdownlo...Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_296434_signed.exe
Get the hboot higher up.
Edit :
1.36 ? Thats fine for all roms. When you install a new one i always advice to do the full wipe manually. Factory reset, wipe caches and format cache,data and system ! Then install the rom.

I would be really thankful for any help.

I asked you to make a new thread in M8 Q&A, not here.
I requested Moderator to move this to correct section
What I can see in your post, you still have TWRP recovery installed only the bootloader is relocked, right ?
Do you have a microSD in your device.
What you need to do :
1. Download this 1.80.720.1 TWRP backup : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62987237&postcount=153
2. Extract that TWRP.7z with 7-zip, then copy the folder 2015-04-26--06-07-46 KTU84P release-keys to where you have your TWRP backup
Let say you never make one before, boot into recovery then select "backup" then select "boot", "system" & "data" and select the storage your microsd then swipe to backup.
Now go to mount, and check whether MTP is enabled then connect to PC. Open SDCard on PC and browse to TWRP/BACKUPS/YourSerialNo/YourBackup
Copy folder 2015-04-26--06-07-46 KTU84P release-keys here.
3. In recovery, select wipe - advance wipe - tick Dalvik cache, Cache, System & data
4. In recovery, select restore - select folder 2015-04-26--06-07-46 KTU84P release-keys and tick only boot and system (leave data unticked) - Swipe to restore)
5. Reboot - run setup.
6. Check for software update - settings - about - software update. You should receive update for 4.30.720.4
7. Download the update file, once it asks to install select install later. Connect your device to PC. Copy the OTA zip from Internal storage/Downloads folder to PC.
8. Open the OTA zip with 7-zip, you'll see firmware.zip inside it. Extract out firmware.zip. Put the firmware.zip in your fastboot/adb folder
9. Boot your device to bootloader then run these commands
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
if failed : FAILED (remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately)
repeat fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot reboot
10. check OTA again and install
11. Once first OTA done, check again as there is another OTA 4.30. 720.5
12. Done - you'll lose root and TWRP
13. If you want to root, you need to unlock bootloader and install TWRP and root again.

Hey thanks

Copy folder 2015-04-26--06-07-46 KTU84P release-keys here.
3. In recovery, select wipe - advance wipe - tick Dalvik cache, Cache, System & data
4. In recovery, select restore - select folder 2015-04-26--06-07-46 KTU84P release-keys and tick only boot and system (leave data unticked) - Swipe to restore)
5. Reboot - run setup.
6. Check for software update - settings - about - software update. You should receive update for 4.30.720.4
7. Download the update file, once it asks to install select install later. Connect your device to PC. Copy the OTA zip from Internal storage/Downloads folder to PC.
8. Open the OTA zip with 7-zip, you'll see firmware.zip inside it. Extract out firmware.zip. Put the firmware.zip in your fastboot/adb folder
9. Boot your device to bootloader then run these commands
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
if failed : FAILED (remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately)
repeat fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot reboot
10. check OTA again and install
11. Once first OTA done, check again as there is another OTA 4.30. 720.5
12. Done - you'll lose root and TWRP
13. If you want to root, you need to unlock bootloader and install TWRP and root again.

It worked upto step 8 until the last reboot command on step 9 which didnt give ny error.However,the htc got stuck on the white htc logo and now there is stock android recovery.
The bootloader still relocked and s-off and software status-modified.
What could have possibly gone wrong? and what can be done now?
Thanks again for ur earlier response

Unlocked the bootloader but still getting stuck at the HTC logo after doing the fastboot reboot. What can be done?

So you managed to unlock bootloader ? Then remember never to relock it again.
Do you still have the TWRP recovery that meant for your device that you used before ?
Do you still have that firmware.zip ? Open it with 7-zip and extract out recovery.img
Then :
1. Install TWRP
2. Do the restore again but this time restore all data, boot & system
3. After restore, select reboot to bootloader
4. Install recovery.img (the one extracted from firmware.zip)
Then follow step 5 to 13 but SKIP 7,8 & 9

Thank you shall try this once home and let you know.. I appreciate

Is it possible to do a custom recovery on m8eye. Have tried looking for the Rom but couldn't find any.

I don 't get it? if he is s-off'd and s-cid'd he could unlock, relock, and what he want s to do.. a rom or a recovery to find will harder.. maybe at chinese forums? but why you wan t it original and now you ask for custom-recovery?

The more you relock and unlock it the higher the risk to brick the bootloader. It's not made to be unlocked and relocked many times !
There is no need to relock it anymore because all the things he wants to do can be done with an unlocked BL so no need to take unnecessary risks
