Hi guys - I am reading up, trying to get ready to root my TB. My understanding is that if I need to unroot (e.g. warranty repairs), I need to go into the HBOOT screen. So, just for kicks, I entered that screen and accidentally ran "image crc".
Anything I need to be concerned about by running that? The phone seems to be fine, but thought I would check anyway.
Also, how do you exit out of HBOOT?
The IMAGE the CRC checksum of the ROM used to compare the correctness of the ROM, and your lights should not directly related.

Hi guys,
*Information contained in screenshots*
Posted a topic about a non-rooted G1 with only access to fastboot and hboot.
I was told that I would have to flash a signed ROM to solve my problem but unfortunately, after proceeding through the full ROGERS G1 downgrade guide by Haykuro, the problem still persists.
The only thing that could have gone wrong during the rooting process is the installation of the wrong recovery through flashrec (it only allowed for remote install for a 32a install).
Here is a screenshot of the phone in hboot for you to get all the info (spl, radio etc.) and a pic of the phone's screen past the splashscreen.
Anybody know how screwed I am?

you're not screwed at all if you can fastboot. esp. on an unrooted g1.
do me a favor, on the screen with the exclamation point, open your keyboard and push ALT+L.
That'll get u a menu, do a data wipe.
Thank you! That solved it but now everytime the phone is turned off and is turned back on. I get to that famous screenshot of death.
Any clue?
Thank you for your reply! Much appreciated.
Hi everyone. I've searched for an answer to my problem, but haven't found anyone with exactly the same issues I've been having loading a custom splash screen onto my phone. I'm currently running the Revolution 4G ROM. I've tried the "flasher" program, I've used the appropriate adb commands, and I've even tried an alternative method of loading the splash1 image file into the data folder of the flasher program before using, all to no avail. Flasher says its working, but on reboot, the same old white HTC screen pops up. When I go the command prompt route, I get the following message: FAILED <remote not allowed>. I am 100% certain that I am rooted and S-off, I have full access to all of my programs requiring root and I'm getting the appropriate notifications re: S-off. So what does this mean, and what should I do?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You need to flash the Engineering HBoot first.

When you say you have S-Off, is it ENG S-Off? If not, that would be the problem.
If you followed something like hack-kit, you only have Radio S-Off.

Thanks so much, quick and easy!
I have a really strange issue and I've done everything I can think of to fix it to no avail. I'm hoping someone here can give me a few pointers.
I'm working on a Inspire 4G for someone. The issue is that the phone reverts to a specific state no matter what I do. For example, if I wipe the phone, the phone boots back up to Froyo with all of his stuff on it. If I try loading an RUU or IMG file (Froyo or Gingerbread), it will "take" but boot to Froyo with all of his stuff on it. It's almost like it wipes itself and loads this image out of nowhere...
Another weird thing, which may or may not be related, is that I see a weird download in his notification tray. Apparently, the file named "WinBej2Setup.exe" was downloaded twice. I did some research on that and everything I see points to some kind of malware for a Windows PC.
Any and all help is appreciated.
Forgive me if this sounds stupid, but you do have S-off correct? I'm not sure about the weird file, have you tried to access it? Also what other roms have you tried to flash? Also what method did you use to root?

I don't have S-OFF. Here's all the bootloader info:
ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-0.85.0019
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.06.04.06_m
Emmc-boot
Dec 27 2010, 14:47:30
As for the file, I'm not sure where it's located. I can only see the notifications that they have finished downloading.
As for the history on the phone, I really can't say much since it's not my personal phone. The person I'm doing this for said he tried to root it using the ACE Hack kit and "some ADB commands" and failed. That's all the information I was given.
At this point, I can load anything to the phone but it will just revert to Froyo in the exact state that it's currently in.
For example, I just tried installing Gingerbread via the official RUU file. It goes through the entire process without a hiccup. Then it reboots and takes forever to load; but when it does, it's back on Froyo with all the owners files...
Personally I would root it, make sure s off, and make sure to format the memory card the corrrect way also.
Then I would install a custom rom.
And the file you speak of is also a game called bejewled. My girl loves that game.

This p-o-s I'm addicted to, and my woman is jealous of.
Reformat the sd card then do an official upgrade thru HTC. Go to the website and download the Gingerbread RUU and HTC Sync. If this doesn't work, complete the root process as suggested.Tell your friend you can't install exe files on Android. They need to be apk files or zip files if installed thru recovery.

I appreciate the advice guys, but I think you guys are overlooking what I'm trying to say... I've already tried running the official upgrades from HTC. The RUU says it's completed fine, but on reboot, I'm back on Froyo with all the same stuff on it.
I've even gone as far as extracting the IMG file out of the RUU and loading it through the bootloader. If I do this, it does the same thing-- says everything loaded fine but reverts on boot back to Froyo in the same state it was in prior.
I can temp root the phone using psneuter but that's about it. I have no idea how I'm going to achieve S-OFF if everything I do is wiped on reboot...
What I'm wondering is if there is a way to lock the entire phone down in a state where nothing can be changed; and if so, is there a way to disable this feature.
Are you sure you do not have a file on the root of the card named PD98IMG.zip? You may be installing this every time the phone boots.
How can you install a non RUU ROM when you have s-on?
Something does not make sense here. Also the exe file you talked about has no use on android as android can do nothing with it. Where do you actually see it?
Go back to square 1. What ROM is on the phone now? Do you have clockwork installed?
I'm not sure how to many different times/ways I can explain the same thing. The phone is on stock AT&T Froyo 2.2.1 (1.80.502.3). Currently, there is no custom recovery and it's not rooted.
The issue is that the phone always reverts (almost like it's doing a nandroid restore in the background) during boot to Froyo 2.2.1 (1.80.502.3) with all his stuff on it.
I've installed Gingerbread 2.3.3 (2.47.502.7) via the official AT&T RUU file
I've extracted the PD98IMG.zip from the Gingerbread 2.3.3 (2.47.502.7) RUU and loaded it via bootloader
I've installed Froyo 2.2.1 (1.80.502.3) via the official AT&T RUU file.
I've extracted the PD98IMG.zip from the Froyo 2.2.1 (1.80.502.3) RUU and loaded it via bootloader
I've done a factory reset from within the phone
I've deleted user data & cache with the stock recovery
After performing each and everyone of these steps, the phone hangs on the white HTC screen while booting and eventually boots up to Froyo 2.2.1 (1.80.502.3) along with all the guys stuff on it.

I agree completely; however, the issue I'm running into very unusual. With that being said, I'm trying to point out anything unusual that I notice with the phone. This file most likely has absolutely nothing to do with the problem I'm encountering, but I mentioned it just in case.

I wish this was the case; however, this wouldn't explain why all his stuff is still on the phone... The only time there is a PD98IMG.zip on the sdcard is when I put it there. Even so, I would have to boot the phone into bootloader mode and go through the prompts to get it take. More so, even if I did do this, it would just revert upon rebooting (hints the problem).
I appreciate the help but I think the problem is a little deeper than what has be presented.
That clears it up for me. You obviously know what you are doing. You mentioned "wipe" a few times which confused me. Didn't think there was a way to actually wipe it without a recovery installed. Sounds like one helluva confusing issue there. Goodluck.
Its always going to revert back to the previous state because its still s-on.
You need to get s-off before anything will change.

This I know is not true-- You can load signed code with S-ON. If what you said was true there would be no way to load an official RUU or OTA...
I appreciate the help, but telling me to get S-OFF (which I've clearly stated that I'm unable to do) is not getting me anywhere.
Is the original ROM branded? Have you tried installing a PD98IMG.zip from a gold card? Just a thought.
Hi all,
Im wanting to return my desire S back to stock as much as possible. I guess that getting back to complete stock (s-off/s-on, carrier lock etc) might not be possible, but can anyone point to a guide that will work.
I saw this thread but it has been removed and locked bizarrely -

I did a search and ive had a browse but couldnt see anything.
Any help is much appreciated!
cheers!
p.s. thread title error - return* my bad!
by the way i tried the following -
Im in the UK on vodafhone so I ran RUU_Bravo_Vodafone_UK_1.19.161.5_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126338_signed.exe
and got error 155
So i tried extracting the rom from the RUU. whilst running i had to go to temp files and get the rom.zip, renamed it to PG88DIAG.zip which is recognized by fastboot, but this did not work. got a very quick pop up of wrong image etc (after taking a while to load it)
So im not sure where to go. Its currently S-On, is that the problem?
cheers!

I seriously need help getting back to stock. I'm trying to use RUU 2.35. I double click and it acts like it's about to do something then the screen goes away and nothing happens.
Ok, I figured out why it wasn't allowing me to get passed that screen. But I have no encountered another problem. When it gets to the point where it verify's my android information, nothing shows up in the image version. I went through the rest of the steps, it said that it had failed. Please help, thanks.
Hboot needs to match, if you installed the jelly bean ota, you can't flash the 2.35 ruu because of the lower hboot version.
Have you flashed the standard recovery and re-locked the bootloader.
