[Q] Rerooting device is safe?

[psykodali]

Hi, I have 2 desire bravo, one is Amoled and the other is Slcd,
I rooted the amoled one with alpharev.nl, and everything works ok...

But i bought the S-LCD one already rooted, the one who sell me it told me that he rooted it with "unrevocked forever". it's s-off with CWM recovery and every thing work but i cant flash radio, hboot and recovery via fastboot, it also told me : FAILED (remote: not allowed)

is there a solution for this?

is it safe to reroot my device using alpharev.nl?

thx

you don't flash the radio through recovery. You flash it through fastboot!!

 

[MatDrOiD]

you don't flash the radio through recovery. You flash it through fastboot!!

It's recommend to do this since one is S-OFF, you are right. But it's only really necessary if one's using a hboot with a /cache partition <35-40 mb.

I'am not flashing the radio through recovery. i am doing it with fastboot.
with the SLCD one i got this error when flashing hboot or radio :

sending 'hboot' (512 KB)... OKAY [ 0.094s]
writing 'hboot'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)

Doublecheck your bootloader if you are really S-OFF.

I have bravo stock hboot with 40M cache, so i had already tried to flash radio through CWM recovery and i got an error like :

amend scripting (update script) is no longer supported..

 

[psykodali]

yes it's s-off!! it's weird.

Doublecheck your bootloader if you are really S-OFF.

That means your recovery is too modern for the script you want to flash. Since version 3.xxx cwm uses a newer scripts, but not all flashable zips support this. So you need to change recovery. This has to be done via fastboot. So we need to get your fastboot working:
Installed HTC drivers correctly?
Running windows or ubuntu (linux)?

Unrevoked forever is for cdma and cdma are dvt not pvt so that's not right

Oh thanks rootSU, only read "unrevoked".

That's not a working fastboot.

yes my device is not CDMA, the one who sell me it told me that he got errors while rooting the device, but despite that he got the s-off.

i must reroot using alpharev?

In the same computer, it work with another Desire bravo that i rooted with alpharev

 

[MatDrOiD]

So what's your problem? I do not get it.

 

[psykodali]

in the same computer fastboot work with on a bravo amoled device, and dont work with an other bravo scld device..

i think that the probleme is that the slcd one is not rooted well.

is it safe to reroot it with alpharev even it's s-off on bootloader?

thx

 

[MatDrOiD]

Okay, now I get it. No, I would say to set the slcd one back to stock and then S-OFF and root with revolutionary:

But read the documentation page carefully and make sure your hboots is supported. If it's not, use unrevoked (first) and alpharev (second) seperately.

 

[psykodali]

okey i will do that
thx MatDrOiD

Anytime. Don't forget the thanks-button.
