Update HBoot ?

Hi everyone,
I'm currently under Cyanogen stable release, with hboot 0.98.0000. My phone was S-OFF using AlpharevX beta tool 3 or 4 month ago I guess. The problem is that my Desire S reboots regularly for no reason. I red somewhere that hboot 0.98.0002 may correct that issue. Is that true ? Or should I wipe all my datas and do a "proper" new install of CyanogenMod ? I wiped my phone one time for the first install of superkid beta, but never again, I've just been pilling up every new version.
And finally, if 0.98.0002 fix that issue, how is it possible to install it ? Do I have to get back to sense and S-ON my phone ? How ?
Thank you,
KennyG9

I'm slightly confused as if you S-OFF'd with AlpharevX then you should really have the 6.xx.xxxx HBOOT What else have you done since then?
Rather than play around with your HBOOT's I'd try a clean install first - I'd suggest formatting of data/system/cache/boot through a wipe script and then perform a complete re-install of the latest ROM)
Although I'd say that the best HBOOT for you to be on would be ENG HBOOT 0.98.2000.

I'm confused. You are right. I'm under 6.98.1002. So no problem of update.

Yes ! That seems to be the best solution finally . Do you know any tool that can help me to format / wipe without loosing all my downloads from market / personal .apks / Musics on SD Card ?

Sorry, I don't understand 100% what you mean there, do you mean that you have HBOOT = 6.xx.xxxx or not?
You can save APK's with various file manager tools but without doubt the most used and easiest way to enable the backup and re-install of all of your APK's would be pay for titanium backup tool....this tools enable batch backup and restores.
Any custom recovery whether CWM (clockworkmod) or 4EXT (which I recommend) will enable you to format the partitions as described. You will find links to both of these in the RECOVERY section of the INDEX thread.
You will also find links to HBOOT in the INDEX thread.

[Q] Sensation XE stuck at beats screen (Yes, tried to find an answer everywhere!!!)

Can't write everything down because I put like 14 hours straight into my new best friend.
I tried to flash RDHD to my phone, which I just bought 3 days ago, first did the guide to S-off, unlock, cwm, root and superCID (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300)
Then tried to install last RDHD gingerbread version(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849)
This first installed EXT4 recovery for me at which point I flashed it again.
Tried a few other ROMs, only like 4 of them.
Oh yeah I searched everywhere even on other websites besides XDA!! Nothing solved it, nothing.
Tried to change firmware
Now I am at a point where I can't seem to understand what the f*ck is going on. I tried this GUIDE (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1472298)
And still the phone won't get past boot screen.
I tried all kinds of things from saterday all trough sunday evening and today (my wife is getting mad, she won't give it up anymore unless i quit)

Try superwipe, reformat SD, download from & firmware (fw 3.24/3.25 for ARHD 6.2.1, fw 3.32 for ARHD 6.5.1) and flash it again:
- put firmware PG58IMG.zip, Superwipe Script and ROM zip on SD root
- check md5 hash
- check md5 hash again
- boot into recovery
- flash Superwipe script
- flash ROM
- reboot into bootloader
- flash PG58IMG.zip (this will reboot automatically once during the process)
- reboot

Can anyone help me to revert my HTC Sensation with Android Revolution ROM, 1.17 boot, S-OFF, 1.0.0.2 4EXT to stock GB ROM ?
I tried to recover some old backup but unfortunately it seems that it is corrupted, md5 check didn't passed.
All partitions are formated, but recovery and 4EXT still works,
So far tried to recover old ROM from OTA_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.45.401.2-1.35.401.1_P2_release_208907.zip but with some errors appeared.
I want to go back to original GB rom or ICS just to sell my phone, got now SG S3.
What should I do, thank you for any help.

Before I will sell it, I want to have possibility to download official update to ICS just to try how it works, but I would be glad if this phone would be totally free of my modifications (S-OFF and root access) just like a stock, new one.

Thats it your on the right track and you will install from Windows

After executing this second RUU I only have one choice to update ROM - my actual and working ROM AR HD 4.1.1 is described as 2.08.401.1, RUU is 1.35.401.1 right after process starts it get's me to update error - 155, this error is described as not right update software, but my language is Polish and I think I chose right update. First RUU gives the same error.

Hey, that's easy, don't worry.
Follow this guide: http://tinyurl.com/RUUGuide
to find your right RUU & instructions on how to flash it.
You'll need to flash the RUU twice. (Hboot pre-update)

It's a pain but you may have to try a different ruu try one with ics

Thank you both I will try it right now and would be happy to learn something.
My blind guess is that maybe I flashed some strange radio version few months ago, right now I have Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2, could this be a reason to my update errors ?

Temp root wasn't removed.

HELP - Stuck at HTC logo after hBoot update

Hi,
so my phone doesn´t work after my attempt to upgrade to MIUI 4.
I started of being on the old, Ginger Bread based MIUI rom. So I updated my hBoot following this guide. After finishing all the steps I was not able to boot back into my original ROM, which I restored from the nandroid backup, as instructed. I got stuck at the HTC logo.
So I went to this MIUI thread in order to download the new ICS based MIUI zip. Unfortunately, the link provided in this thread is broken. So I went to the official English MIUI website and downloaded the latest MIUI rom. I flashed this, and now I get beyond the HTC logo, but remain stuck at th "mi" logo.
So i thought I might try to flash the kernel provided in the MIUI thread here on xda, but I just can´t seem to be be able to find any downloadable file at the location provided.
So I tried to reflash the kernel provided in the hBoot update guide with no success. I was stuck at the htc logo again.
Reflashed latest MIUI - stuck at "mi" logo again.
I kindly ask the community for help..........

Oh yea and I can access bootloader and 4ext recovery.

You may need to wipe cache in the recovery after the hboot update.
Anyway you have already flashed stuff on top so it probably will not work.
The file from the official MIUI site requires the files in your new /lib partition to be present before installation. So if you desperately want MIUI go to miuiandroid.com and download it from there.
Or just use a Sense 4 of a JB ROM from this forum. Remember to make a full wipe in recovery before install.
And BTW there is a link in the Download section of the kernel thread. In your panic you haven’t noticed the "SHOW CONTENT" button

Wow,
so now the phone seems to be back to previous. Somehow the restore from nandroid worked out. Thanks God...
Still, I wasn't successful updating to MIUI 4.
The hBoot now shows:

Great, thanks for being with me. Well I'm used to MIUI and I'd like to stay with it.
Somehow I will work my way through to it hopefully.
I think I actually downloaded the latest MIUI zip from miuiandroid.com. I mean the one that didn't work for me.
Now I can see the link to the kernel.

Ok, so I can give it a second try and download the latest MIUI from miuiandroid.com once again and flash that (although I think that's what I did once already without success.) Do i get you right that this rom is supposed to be different from the one from the Chinese MIUI website?
Anyway, given that this probably won't work, are there any other suggestions/solutions? How about going through all the steps of the hBoot flashing guide once again?

Anyone?

[Q] Stuck on htc white screen

Hi,
S-Off, root, hboot 2.00.2002 (PG8810000) LOCKED, radio 3831.19.00.110
Until today I was on ViperSaga 2.1.1.
This morning, without my knowing exactly what happened, the virtual keyboard is switched on arabic and plant each use "arabic keyboard stopped".
I backed up my config and decided to upgrade to 2.2.0 ViperSaga.
I downloaded the zip, I put it on the sdcard, reboot in recovery (4ext), full wipe and wipe Cache + davlik, I begin to install the zip and it gets stuck on the boot screen of ViperSaga.
Half hour later, as I was not full of patience, I turn the battery, I turn the sdcard, I copy the zip from another ROM (SVHD) telling me I do not know what probably it would work, I launch this new install from the recovery ...
Nope. Is blocked for half an hour!
Help
Thanks

Recovery work? You got white screen after rebooting or during installation?
What kind of display you have? READ THIS AND CHECK YOUR PHONE.
Try other kind of ROM like CM.

I restored my system with the recovery Vipersaga 2.1.1. The keyboard still does not work. It is difficult to write a single line of code. However, my screen is a sony (s6d16a0x21 wvga).
I will try to update with this ROM (CM10.2).
It's nice to agree that we must copy both zip on SDcard, go to the recovery:
wipe data / factory reset
wipe cover + davlik
before starting the installation of the ROM?
Thanks

Maybe keyboard on Vipersaga 2.1.1 is faulty.
When I change rom, first backup nandroid then wipe all except SD then install from zip rom then gapps.That 10.2 works great on my saga.Try CM 11 too. GL
Strange you have LOCKED S-OFF...

Hi,
CM10.2 ok.
Thanks for all.

Rather than simply sending PMs to members (which is not the best way to impress people), how about searching and reading. There are solutions, but you need to read so you understand what you are doing it, and why - or you will end up with a paperweight instead of a phone.
