Help with Desire Hboot

Hey
wanted to flash my Desire to a new rom.
Starting with alpharev:
http://alpharev.nl/
Problem with it: Actually im using hb00t 0.75.0000!
So i downloaded PB99IMG_cm7r2.zip, named it PB99IMG.zip, restartet phone to bootloader, pressed bootloader -> fastboot -> then for some seconds there is checking ... (PB99IMG.zip)! and then it jumps back. nothing happens!
the first line in the bootloader says "Bravo unknown ship S-on"... is this the problem? No S-off? How to handle it?
Thanks!

Lol this is what I imagined you as right now

Flashing an alpharev hboot does not change your ROM. Go to the noob proof guide on the android dev section.

Flash official 2.3 Gingerbread, it will update your hboot and then you will be able to S-OFF with revolutionary.
I cannot find a link for it atm, so look for it yourself.

I can only choose in the recovery between:
- Reboot system now
- Apply SDCARD:Update.zip
- Wipe data/factory reset
- Wipe cache Partition
And i wiped data and cant install anything

Turn off signature verification under "flash .zip from SD" or something like that in recovery.

Okay, new problem !
Thought I managed to install everything, cause it booted up and so on.
But when I unlock the phone, it's stuck in flight-mode =(!

Some people really should not be trying to flash a phone !!!!!!
Sorry ! :banghead:

Yeah, sorry, I thought it would be as easy to flash my One X as it was with my o2x.
I checked the log (kept it open) and I see now that I failed to flash Fastboot KIT V8.5!
I also thought that I (like the old times) should have flashed the rom in the custom recovery, but I see that I should probably have done that in Windows aswell!

Partial correct , you need to flash the rom in recovery and the boot.img that is found in the rom.zip file with fastboot commands from pc to the phone in fastboot mode
And let's be honest, if you have to ask what a custom recovery is afterwards then the homework is not done !

The recovery is kinda like BIOS on Windows. This sentence really cleared up my thoughts.

I've found the boot.img and I tried to flash it through fastboot mode, just said Failed: Remote not allowed.
Like I said before about the recovery-thing : wanted to make sure I didn't **** things up (which I evidently did anyways).
And yes, I do understand your point about that the homework haven't been done.
I noticed (and read) the first time you wrote about "some people", I've gotten the point .
Promise that I will read up more!

Is your bootloader still unlocked ? Flashing recovery went oke ?

Home in 1 1/2 hour. Bootloader is still unlocked and cwm is installed. Installed maximus through recovery but as said... can't get the phone out off airplane-mode :<.

Oke uhm the maximum rom is a ICS rom ? Not trying to flash a JB rom did you ?
And if the bootloader is unlocked you should flash the boot.img oke . Hmmm
You did
fastboot flash boot boot.img
With the command in dos prompt ?

maXimus is a JB-rom, yes.
Yes, fastboot flash boot boot.img is the command I used.
EDIT: I missed the point where I was supposed to extract and start a .bat-file, apparently it's been done before and I must have missed out on searching for that for some strange reason...
*snip snip*
Tried updating 8.0.1 to 8.5.0 using the otherwise promising OTA feature.
Unfortunately, it resulted in a complete cluster-f¤ck.
Yes, I did NOT do a full wipe during the update.
Now, I have no cell coverage at all. Airplane Mode is ON, "Closing".... When I go to Settings > About, the software information shows no Baseband version, so no baseband driver installled...(?)
Trying rebooting, entering TWRP recovery, clearing cache, dalvik cache, fixing permissions and rebooting again, but this fixed nothing...
Trying rebooting, entering TWRP recovery, resetting phone, but this fixed nothing...
Another example of ALWAYS having to doing a full wipe when updating customs ROMs, I gues...
Sigh...
I think there is something wrong with the ROM. I made a full whipe (came from ardh 12) and i have the same. No guide selecting network and flightmode is on and no service. I have tried reflashing and making a whipe after flash but still problem.
First i though it was a kernel issue but no boot.img in the rom-file.
*snip snip*
So, yes. I'm a total dimwit =).
Finally solved atleast, thanks alot for the help!

I think you have to flash a ICS rom. What is your hboot number ? Is you're hboot 1.12 then you can not flash a JB rom !
You can find hboot version in the bootloader menu
Try a ics rom and i think you will be fine !
Try this
Put Rom.zip on sd card
Extract boot.img and flash it in fastboot
Enter recovery and wipe/factory reset
Wipe all caches / dalvik cache
And charge the phone full first before going at it again ... might be good to do !
Flash Rom and reboot .... I will bet it boots up fine

Thanks for the help, but the rom is installed... and yes, it is JellyBean =).

Cant flash recovery

Hi guys,
I want to flash TWRP recovery but everytime I want to flash it hang on "sending recovery.img".
Phone is unlocked, hboot 1.39.
I have downloaded recovery few times from origin source but its the same.
Any suggestions maybe?

Erased cache before flashing the recovery ?
Fastboot erase cache
What happens when you try another recovery
http://db.tt/Krlm4dPs

"fastboot devices" lists your device?
File in fastboot folder?
Try downloading the adb/fastboot package again, and if possible, from a different source.

Sorry for late update.
Yes, its sorted now. Had to plugged and unplugged few times within several USB ports.

Did you happen to use a non official cable (not from HTC) ? I had this problem once last week, fastboot devices came up positive but the actual flashing went very wrong !

Nope, it was official. One I got with HOX.
Happy that is all sorted

Yeah that's for sure ! :thumbup:

Try reflashing 4ext recovery. Do this by downloading the 4ext as a PB99IMG.zip, and installing it like this.
Then continue to flash a rom, as said by abaaaabbbb63.

Anyways, you already have 4ext. As I said in my post above, just download a ROM, put it on your sd-card, do a full wipe (except sd-card), and then flash the ROM.

U already have 4ext recovery so dont worry bout the PB99IMG
The PB99IMG is not a zip u flash in recovery, its done in bootloader (instruction for were given to ya how to flash it plus instructions were there in the thread were u downloaded it)
Now follow the instructions given above to flash a rom. Il give u more
1) download a rom u want
2) put it on ur sdcard
3) boot into recovery
4) go to wipe/format
5) format all partitions except sdcard
6) go to install from sdcard
7) flash rom u downloded
8) reboot
9) enjoy
Ps: i hope u made an ext4 partition, if not then check andu's sig for a guide and do that first. Once thats done then follow these instructions to flash ur rom.
Edit: andu beat me to it

Error on updating to Android 6

I have a HTC M8 purchased from Dubai. It's a standard unlocked one. Yesterday I had received notification that there is a system update and I had downloaded the same. But now when I click on install I get the following error message.

I have never rooted the device but now this is big surprise to me. I had given the device around a year back to a dealer here for some repair. I had found an app called SU which when I searched on google shows as a root app. I can't remove the installed app as it gives error. Please help me to resolve this issue and install the Android 6 on my phone.
I'm a pure layman on these technical items. Age isn't on my side to understand most of the technical terms

then flash it via fastboot
type fastboot flash recovery (recovery name).img <--- dont included the () just put the recovery name, maybe name it as stock.img so you can flash it like this
fastboot flash recovery stock.img
then install the OTA enjoy

It says UNLOCKED highlighted in purple on the bootloaders screen. This means your bootloader is unlocked. No need to unlock it again.
TWRP should install fine. Use the fastboot method to install TWRP. TWRP Manager app is a needless middle man, and can cause issues in itself.
But you may have to re-install HTC Sync to get fastboot working (based on the error message show in your PC screenshot).
