Hi,
I've got HTC bravo, Android 2.2 and tried to install recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.2-bravo.img. First, I executed revolutionary. I now have have S-OFF and my hboot has been changed to HBOOT-6.93.1002. I flashed recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.2-bravo.img with fastboot and the flashing was done. When I boot in recovery mode, I get the recovery menu all right but when I want to select an option, I just get this nice hat on the screen. If I power again, I come back to the menu. Something doesn't work as it should do.
Many thanks for your help.

Thanks for your reply. Not too sure what you mean by middle button. I know of the top button (power) and left (volume buttons). Now I should mention that my phone is Bravo PVT3 SHIP S-OFF, maybe that version of touch recovery doesn't work with PVT3?

The scroll wheel at the bottom?
It's also better to use another recovery 4ext recovery touch.

- He means the middle button on the front of the device. It was used for selection in older recoveries by pressing. You can also press it down when booted into the os to actually select things, and scroll in text input. You also have home, menu, back and search buttons on the front
- PVT3 has nothing to do with it
But forget about either of these things for a moment...
You're using a touch recovery. Therefore have you actually tried selecting by touching the screen...you know...how it was designed to be used??

Hi all, I'm an android newbie. How can I know/read my current hboot version?
Thanks,
Maurizio
When the phone is off, hold the volume down button and while holding press the power button. You will see a white screen and up the top you should see your hboot version. To exit, press the power button to select fast boot and then use the volume down to select reboot
thanks I need it
hi i'm new
i have evo 4g
when i do this hold down volume down key and power on nothing happens just powers up regular? please can you advise how to find hboot version.

Under settings > applications > remove tick right of fastboot.
Turn off, and then you hold vol- press power, still holding vol-, let go of buttons as you se the white screen. Use volume button to navigate and power button to select.
i don't know about your device, but i have to hold down power + back button on my desire

You have fast boot enabled. Either disable it under settings>applications before powering off and power on while pressing the vol down button. Or you can power off the phone, remove and reinsert the battery and power on the phone while pressing vol down. You will arrive at a white screen. 1st line tells you the HBoot version.
probably silly question, but - i've rooted my desire with unrevoked, s-offed with alpharev, my h-boot is still 0.93.0001.
Does it mean I'm still on stock h-boot? Or the other way, if I'd have cm7 or other one, would it be clearly stated in my phone's bootloader?

Yes. If you are on stock hboot, the first line in the bootloader will say 'Alpharev'. If you are on say, CM7r2 hboot it will say 'Alpharev CM7r2'

Hello folks,
since two days I can't use my desire properly anymore. Wifi had some issues, volume buttons sometimes stopped working and the phone rebooted itself. The phone was rooted with unrevoked ans S-OFF. I thought that maybe the software was damaged so I decided to reinstall, but this time with the original RUU.
I used this one: RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8_Radio_32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed
After installing, the phone got in a reboot loop. Now, I cant get into the bootmenu because the volume down button doesn't work. Is there any other possibility to get into the bootmenu?
Greets,
Maza

Power+back button. It will launch into fastboot menu I think. From there click hboot. (It might also be that it launches into hboot and you click fastboot. Not too sure). It's the way I used when my vol buttons are unresponsive.

You need to be a bit more clear as to what you mean. What does "page appear" means? Do you mean you can get into recovery but can not do anything there, like choosing an option there? or you can't even get into recovery?
If you can get into recovery, how do you choose options? You need to use volume up/down buttons to navigate and home button to select an option.
If you can not get into recovery, Take your sd card off, and try again. I somehow had an issue where I can't get into recovery due to a problem with my sdcard. But once I took it out, I was able to get into recovery.
Hope you can solve your problem.

what do you mean by the "left button" you mean the "menu" capacitive button? What happens when you select an option with the "home" button?

yes, i mean the capacitive button. when a touch the home button nothing appens. but i know that i should touch the left capacitive button to start the option that i chose in the recovery button. when for exemple i chose option "reboot now" after i touch the left capacitive button apears in screen still image with a "hat and circle arrow" nothing more appens then if i touch the left button or the power button i go to recovery menu again. to leave this state i have to take off the batery.

Ok I am confused about the buttons you use.
Just go up and down by volume up and down buttons. Once you are where you want to be, hit the home button ( middle hardware button, not the capacitive buttons) That should do it. If it still does not work, you may consider flashing recovery again.

I still am thinking you are hitting the wrong buttons.. Attached is the pic to show which buttons to hit. If you still can not work it, you can flash the recovery again (See Below)
You can always flash recovery and don't need to be in recovery to do so... For a guide please go here and follow the step described in step 2. If you are not familiar with terminal emulator and/or you dont have busybox installed, you can follow here to use adb to flash recovery.
Hope this helps.
I am still not sure what your problem is...Good luck.

I also used my friend's laptop with Windows 7. The device was recognised as "My HTC" or smt but I failed to flash RUU. It either gives USB connection error 170 or just says "Sending......" while flashing for a long time and nothing hapens. (I also installed Htc drivers on his pc)
So can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? And I don't know what was done with this phone earlier because it was bought bricked like that. Thanks in advance.
You'll have to boot in bootloader somehow. It's the only way to fix it.
You can only flash a RUU if you're in fastboot. Your phone is not virtually connected to the PC when in 4 triangles mode. It need to be booted in fastboot.
Are your volume buttons not working? Nor the back button?
Thank you for response. I tried to use volume buttons and back button but they doesn't work. Maybe i need to push them harder. I will try again.

Volume up button is sometimes very less responding on htc desire, press back button (do not release) and press power button (also do nof release )
after 3 secs you should see the white bootloader screen.
If you try to press them together, sometimes it just boots as normal because you may have pressed the power button a little bit earlier

Don't use the Touch Screen neither the Volume & Power buttons while you are in recovery But use the TrackBall & the Back Button only.
If the problem still exists Flash another Recovery using the Fastboot method.
Thanks.

Just use the volume up down and select using the trackball .If you do these and the problem remains try to reflash the recovery.
