Hi, I need Hboot 0.98.0000 as I have 0.98.2000 or something and an update the comes with Arabic support wants it to be 0.98.0002 so it doesn't install. Anyone could provide the stock 0.98.0000?

http://www.mediafire.com/?tiuuiuoc70k3q0j
im assuming u know how to flash it?

Yeah, go to Clockwork Recovery then flash update.zip, right?

Wait it's not zip, Steps?

Reboot your phone into Bootloader and then choose Fastboot.
Open a cmd window, cd into your android sdk folder and then type:
fastboot flash hboot example.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
*replace example with the name of the img.

Ok thanks alot

Excuse my ignorance but which folder inside the sdk. I haven't used it in a while.

Google ION Rom

I got the Google ION which was given out at the Google Conference in SF. I flashed the hero rom recently, but it's a bit slow for my taste...so I want to go back to my stock rom that I had before...but I didn't backup before so I can't restore...so is there anyone who can point me to the right direction to getting the rom back?
I tried Haykuro's Google ION rom, but the in call audio was messed up, and I tried to flash the stock rom that HTC provided (http://www.htc.com/www/support/android/google-io-device.html) but I get an error after it verifies the update package.
Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance, I truly appreciate it.
here u go
had the same problem u changed the hboot when flashing... take this download name it update flash it. than reapply the google rom provided by htc http://rapidshare.com/files/247838949/update.Engineering-SPL-HBOOT-1.33.2004-signed.zip
Go to HTC (global site) and download the image. It's the zip file.
unzip the file and put the image files in the tools folder of SDK
1. enter fastboot mode by pressing back+power
2. fastboot erase system -w
3. fastboot erase boot
4. fastboot flash system system.img
5. fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
6. fastboot flash boot boot.img
7. fastboot reboot
I find that the Magic Black ROM has the best speeds for the hero rom but it still is not perfect. You have to tweak it get it right.

[Q] Need Help Getting To A Higher ROM (FW issues)

Hello
I have been trying to upgrade my phone's ROM for a while now but have always been held back by the firmware on my phone. From what I have read before, I am one of a few people that can not use any FW above 3.12, preventing me from using the 3.30 required ROMs.
Is there any way of getting these ROMs working, such as openSensation?
This is what is listed when I put the phone into recovery:
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT 1.23.0000
RADIO 11.22.3504.07_M
OPENADSP-v02.6.0.2226.00.0131
eMMC-boot

why cant you flash the newest firmware ?
cant you just use the standard way of flashing the PG58IMG file ?
here get the 3.32 universal firmware and try flashing it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767&highlight=user-friendly+firmware
if it still didnt worked then manual way of flashing
It is assumed that you have adb/fastboot setup
connect the device in fastboot to pc (phone reads fastboot usb)
also copy the downloaded PG58IMG.zip file to the adb folder you have on pc
then open a command window at the adb folder
and type these commands one by one
fastboot erase cache (if failed ignore it )
fastboot oem rebootRUU (black screen with silver HTC)
fastboot flash zip PG58IMG.zip (im interested in this output ..if failed post back the output)
fastboot reboot-bootloader
tada done

Oh I can flash firmwares just fine, I have done before etc.
The issue is getting the phone to work with any firmware over 3.12 without bootlooping. From looking at previous threads a lot of people believe it is due to the HBOOT file in the firmwares being changed.

Download a ROM, extract its boot.img then use fastboot command:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Oh and p.s dont use tools designed for other phones in future - why you needed one to htcdev unlock is beyond me though, the instructions are perfectly clear on the htcdev.com website

You need the adb/fastboot files to use the fastboot command, there is a link either in the "flashing ROM's with S-ON" guide or in the "Guide to S-OFF, custom recovery and SuperCID" thread - sorry, Im on my phone so cant link it.
Then put the files in C:\adb and open command prompt and type:
cd C:\adb
then press enter
Next you need to extract the boot.img from a Sense ROM zip file - any from the dev thread will do as long as its a Sense ROM - and place boot.img in the C:\adb folder then put phone into bootloader, connect to computer and select "fastboot USB" from the phones bootloader menu and then type the following command into command prompt:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
hit enter then type:
fastboot reboot
press enter and all done

Yep, because you are S-ON, the script cant write to the boot partition which is why the fastboot flash boot boot.img workaround is needed

Do you know where the boot.img is located? I downloaded CoreDrod Sensation and cant seem to find it.
boot.img is located
try to explore or double click the ROM you download ROMname.rar boot.img must in the archive.

I dont know where its located in every ROM, just a few. My Sense 3.6 ROM boot.img is located in Extras/Kernel/ but most are just in the root of the file - I do things a little different because of the way my customizations in Aroma Installer work

Big problem with htc desire s ! Mayday !

Hi all,
My phone stucks on HTC logo. I can access to bootloader and fastboot. I've a CWM recovery.
I want reinstall stock rom 2.3.5 for my branded phone (Vodafone FR) . After a week of research of a ruu branded Vodafone FR 2.3.5, I founded nothing for a HBOOT 2.xx.xxxx .
So i understand that i need to downgrade HBOOT to 0.93.xxxx to install a ruu (a lot of ruu for 0.93.xxxx compatible with me)
I've drivers adb and fastboot . Fastboot work because i used it to install CWM recovery.
I found a lot of tutorials to downgrade HBOOT but they need adb comands ! They don't work on bootloader .
Can i use adb comands with bootloader (specials drivers) ? Or downgrade without these comands ?
I need help ! Thanks to all !
Bootloader infos :
S-ON
UNLOCKED
HBOOT 2.00.0002
if you flashed custom rom you need to flash boot.img from rom zip via fastboot
As the guy above me said, if fastboot is working for you, you only have to flash boot.img using:
fastboot flash boot boot.img (there are many guides on this forum, but basically get your phone into bootloader, you just open your rom *.zip and extract boot.img file from there, and you put it to folder where you have fastboot.exe, and execute that command)
Thank's !
To use adb commands, you must be on recovery .

Place the zip in your fastboot/adb directory on your computer.
Put the device in fastboot mode
(Volume down and power until menu appears, select fastboot using power button)
Connect the device to the computer
Enter the following commands from terminal/command prompt in the fastboot directory, one at a time:
fastboot oem rebootRUU (this puts the device in RUU mode)
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip (rename file to firmware.zip to make it simple/optional)
It will say that the update did not finish, to flush again, so repeat the above step:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
Quote:
Important: the flash process halts at around 75% to 90% on phone screen! This is normal and a safety precaution!
The last few percent is the reboot, which is NOT happening automatically, so you get a chance to check the console output before reboot to make sure it is safe to reboot!
The bar will only fill up to 100% once you type the following command:
fastboot reboot-bootloader (this reboots the device to bootloader)
That's it, you're done. You can now reboot and will be running the latest firmware and radios.
