S-ON again after AlphaRevx instructions

Fr3ddY303 · Jul 17, 2011

3xeno Found an old copy of 3.21 and yes it did work thanks..

So now I have 0.80.0004 Telstra 2.38.841.1
No AlphaRevx. And non rooted and s-on.

I must say that the install of the Telstra rom after AlphaRevx was removed when just as it should have Gmail setup worked on first boot and HTC wallpaper are working too.Which is no big deal as their are work arounds for the Gmail setup.
Would this have worked with out AlphaRevx in the first place.???
The only thing you cant have with unrevoked is s-off but rooting the phone is no probs at all..
Think I will just stay right where the phone is at the moment and wait for some more fun to come around..

Thanks AlphaRevX for doing what HTC cannot do for the time being anyway..s-off

I've got a problem:

When I enter "C:\fastboot>fastboot oem mb 9C068490 1 30" in cmd, it says:
...FAILED <command write failed <Unknown error >>

What am I doing wrong?

Things you can try.
Make sure you are using the USB cable that came with the phone.(Most Important)

Turn the phone off remove the battery wait 30sec reboot the phone then go back to fastboot usb in recovery.Also reboot computer.

Type at Command Prompt (fastboot devices) to make sure fastboot can see your phone.Should get a number plus the word fastboot something like = ht11111111 fastboot

Try different usb ports.On your computer
Unplug any hard drives you have plug into usb ports.

Also try running the fastboot command with out the usb cable in the phone you should see (waiting for device) THEN plug in the cable to the phone.

Have a look here..

I think this will be an easy way for those who want to completely revert back to stock (from alpharevx hboot)

1. Enter the fastboot command from OP. This should allow hboot downgrade.
2. Run wildfire RUU which takes back you to stock including hboot. Better to run WWE RUU here so that it will be a standard for everyone.

I haven't checked it, but I think it should work. [correct me if I'm wrong].

Edit : This won't work (as per the corrected post below). Pls ignore this post.

As requested, you're wrong, so I'm correcting you

Updating from an RUU does not revert the HBOOT, since there is a version check in the HBOOT update code that only allows the version to roll forwards, and the AlpharevX HBOOT version is six point something (way ahead of the 1.x.x in stock).

This is the same reason why people could not go back to 0.80 from 1.01.0001 by just flashing an old RUU.

The only known way to go back at the moment is the method described, putting the phone into OEM fastboot and flashing the old version across from a PC manually.

bx19 · Jul 28, 2011

Thanks for the correction.

And can the update code be changed to allow Hboot downgrade. Is it something related to "hbootpreupdate" parameter of "android-info.txt". As the phone will still be s-off I think making changes to that file will not affect the ruu process.

Just curious....

This tutorial is so useful, thanks!

Fr3ddY303 · Jul 28, 2011

jim-bo is right in what he is saying about going backward in HBoot.

After I got to Hboot 0.80.0004 with only using fastboot the fastboot command would no longer work. I would just get error massager's every time I try to use fastboot trying to get back to 1.0001 or 0.80.0007 for that matter. So it was like I was stuck on HBoot 0.80.0004

So the only way I could get back to 1.0001 is with a GOLD CARD and RUU_Buzz_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.22.405.1_Radio_13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10_release_160191_signed.exe
which has Hboot 1.0001

I now have AlpharevX Beta 2 (version 0.2pre5) and running JokerDroid 4.3.1 on my A3335 phone..

Like AllThingsLinuX you have to read read and read some more.Plus use your brain doe's help.Patience is the Key word.

Hey ... which RUU did u have while going back to S-ON ?

Comfreak89 · Aug 7, 2011

Thank you, it worked perfectly for me!

What if i didn't use alpharev method and instead did it with Unrevoked ?
As i remember, when i first bought my wildfire it already had S-OFF so I only needed to downgrade Hboot to 0.80x by reverting back to Android 2.1.
The method from this thread does not work for me, I always get erros and the HBOOT isn't written on my device.
Any suggestions?

I guess your device was s-off'ed the xtc clip way, meaning you can't really get s-on this way. The xtc-clip gives hardware s-off while alpharev gives software s-off.

EDIT:
Since nobody helped nor knew what to do I will show how to go Stock when your device had its hboot downgraded and rooted with the unrevoked 3 method.
-Install HTC drivers> Reboot
-Uninstall HTC Sync (not drivers )> Reboot
-Power OFF phone>Connect it to PC via its USB and Hold Power Button+Volume Down > Wait for Windows to install drivers ( if it didn't already )
-Choose Fastboot and press Power Button to go into Bootloader
-Open RUU.exe of your choice and follow the instructions
-?!?!?!!?
-Profit!

****THIS IS FOR THE ONES THAT HAD THEIR S-OFF WITH HARDWARE METHOD aka XTC-CLIP*****
That's it. No need to flash any hboot drivers, the RUU ( if it is Froyo ) will upgrade the Hboot to 1.0.00.1

Note: If you had your bootloader S-OFF'ed from its factory state ( like did ) or used XTC Clip, you cannot regain S-on ( correct me if I'm wrong )
It doesn't matter anyway, atleast in my case, as Vodafone Romania only needs the official RoM installed, they don't care about the Bootloader as from what I've seen they give them with unlock Bootloaders for almost an year now ( don't have any idea why, that is how my Wildfire came even though it was brand new and I have it from august 2010 )

Can anyone help me out restoring my STOCK RUU ...

Stock RUU Link :: http://www.shipped-roms.com/shipped...1.25.720.1_release_161546bwou4mclajggz2mu.zip

I have Unrooted my HTC WF successfully, also restored S-ON to Hboot 1.01.0002.

But i am unable to install Stock RUU.
I tried installing the Stock RUU b4 unrooting and also after that but did not work.

My current HBOOT ver :: 1.01.0002 with S-ON
Recovery :: ClockwordMod Recovery v2.5.0.7 [for Sense]

What i want ::
1. Restore my Hboot to Stock :: 1.01.0002 with S-ON
2. Remove ClockwordMod Recovery v2.5.0.7 [currently installed]
2. Restore my Stock RUU :: OTA_Buzz_Froyo_hTC_Asia_India_2.25.720.1-1.25.720.1_release_161546bwou4mclajggz2mu.zip

Simply make it as it was Manufactured

All this is becoz i am facing lot of stability issues after rooting my phone.
First with AlpharevX then Revolutionary .... both did not work for me.

Thank you

That's the OTA Update for 1.25.720.1. First install the 1.25.720.1 EXE RUU (Available at Shipped ROMs), then you can apply that ZIP from the Stock Recovery, by renaming it as update.zip.
