[MOD]NOOBS Flash the Eng 85 H-Boot and CWM 5 the easy way!!!S-OFF ONLY(UPDATED 2/04)

---

Hey All,

Here are some PD15IMG varients. This is great for noobs who are unsure about flashing the engineering boatlader wich is highly RECOMMENDED as well as a custom recovery. Once you have achieved s-off use this file to continue your rooting process. Again this only works for those of you that currently have S-OFF!!!!

You may ask why do I need an engineering bootloader the answer is you technically don't. However, it can be your last line of defense against a soft brick and is strongly suggested by any experienced modder!!!

I have included 3 separate downloads. The first file contains ClockworkMod and the engineering bootloader. I did not offer a separate file containing just CWM 5 or just the bootloader due to a few reasons. One being I believe everybody should have the Eng. bootloader and second being this offers a true flash of a custom recovery where Rom Manager does not. If you would like just one or the other open up the zip file and delete the desired file. The second file is the most recent update offered from T-Mobile. That file will give you the update unrooted and as it is intended from T-Mobile. However, it will give you an eng bootloader with CWM 5 instead of the locked bootloader and stock recovery. Allowing you to return to another rom or previous nandroid backup. The third file is for if you ever want to go back to a stock splash image or yours begins to fail. Finally, I also added thee new ClockworkMod touch recovery with the eng bootloader for the last file.


I am not responsible for anything that may happen to your device please proceed at your own risk. I have tested this myself and it works just fine. However, if something were to happen to your device don't blame me

1.Download which file you want

2. Rename it to PD15IMG and place on the root of your SD card

3. If using the second file make a nandroid backup first.

4. Boot into H-boot and apply the update (by holding volume down and powering on the phone)

5. Once the update has finished either re-rename the file to something different or delete it from the sd card otherwise you will keep installing the update
AGAIN THIS IS FOR S-OFF ONLY

BLINGO BLAMO You now can either flash your favorite rom or restore a previous nandroid backup

So this flashes the engineering bootloader, the latest ClockworkMod recovery, and the OTA Gingerbread ROM all in one shot? I've never heard of such a package, pretty cool! :thumbs up:

EDIT: I read it again, and apparently it's just the bootloader and recovery. Still pretty cool!

flashing a radio doesnt affect root

You're welcome, glad to help propose the idea.

How about a second version that flashes only the ENG HBOOT & CWM but leaves data/system as-is? That might also be useful for some folks.

Ah excellent, I see you edited a second version into the top post.

I will keep this method in mind any time I see someone ask the same question about an HTC phone with S-OFF. It all seems to work the same once security is removed.

Thank you cmstlist for pointing me in the right direction and Bin4ry in the sensation forum for coming up with the mod, all I did is take his idea and apply it to our phone.

I'm sorry to be so dense but can you tell me how to:

"3. Boot into H-boot and apply the update"

i thought i needed the eng bootloader to apply updates

I understand that i can enter hboot by starting up while holding [power] + [volume down], but beyond that do i choose fastboot or recovery or image crc or what?

Thank you for your patience! You have been super helpful and generous!

You do not need the Eng bootloader just s-off. Once you rename the file and it is on the root of your sd card. Power off the phone and turn it back on holding volume down. The phone will the check for the file and prompt you asking if you want to apply the update. To say yes you then press the volume up button and the phone does the rest. This will give you the clockworkmod custom recovery and the engineering bootloader

Might be helpful to reiterate: after you've successfully applied the zip, rename or delete the file from your SD so you don't accidentally apply it multiple times.
