[hboot] Alpharev hboot from org S-OFF hboot >0.x - Legend Android Development

Hi there
I have had S-OFF via XTC-Clip for a long time but always wanted the alpharev hboot
so with help IEF on their IRCchannel I got it done
AGAIN this only gives you the Alpharev hboot, it will not provide initial S-OFF, this has to be achieved via XTC-Clip or other methods (there are none I know of) and will also NOT work on S-ON devices
first things first
THIS MAY SURELY BRICK YOUR DEVICE IF YOU DO IT WRONG OR SOMETHING GOES WRONG
you need fastboot, adb, on win the drivers, and the attached LEGEIMG.zip
boot into bootloader
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
then do
Code:
fastboot getvar modelid
it should state
Code:
modelid: PB76*****
then
Code:
fastboot getvar cid
should return
Code:
cidnum: 11111111
and finaly
Code:
fastboot getvar mainver
which should be
Code:
mainver: 1.02.666.3
but could also differ
IF IT DOES DIFFER and is not smaller or equal, you will need to change the mainver in the android-info.txt in the attached LEGEIMG.zip to your numbers, and rezip it
if everything is alright on that side, do
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
and then
Code:
fastboot flash zip LEGEIMG.zip
where as the LEGEIMG.zip must be in your current folder
you should now type in
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
and be presented with the alpharev hboot
hf and I am certainly not responsible for any bricks AND THIS MAY SURELY BRICK YOUR DEVICE IF YOU DO IT WRONG OR SOMETHING GOES WRONG

So, it can S-OFF legend with Hboot 1.00.0000 and 1.01.0000, right? Are you sure?

No it doesnt, it's just for XTC Clip Users to change their HBOOT as far as I understand now
<FabianJ> Hey - I've just read this thread over there @xda http://bit.ly/pyvRnP, it says that S-OFF works from Legend's with HBOOT 1.0 and newer. But the Author of the topic already has S-OFF with XTC-Clip. So does it also work with normal Legends?
<attn1> no
<attn1> oh that
<attn1> yes
<attn1> but not hboot 1.0
[...]
<FabianJ> attn1, so there is still no possible way except the XTC Clip to get S-OFF on Legends with HBOOT 1.X
<attn1> XTC clip is one way.
<FabianJ> and the other way?
<attn1> but software, none that I know of
<attn1> xtc clip clones
<attn1> might work

Thank you.

Ok so, Just so I am clear, I have a Legend, it is S-OFF with an XTC Clip, it is also at HBOOT 1.01, will this file replace the current HBOOT with Alpharev's and what will be the version number after the replacement?

Why is alpha rev hboot with S-Off better than S-Ogg gained with XTC-clip? What are the diferences?

As far as I do understand it's better cause Alpharev HBOOT has the new Partition Layout (see BlaYo's HowTo Upgrade to HBOOT 1.0...).
The XTC Clip HBOOT is the >0.X HBOOT and this one could make troubles with some newer Android OS'es (I'm unsure if it's only Gingerbread or even FroYo)

One more question. IF I understand correct (I've searched for XTC Clip on interent), we can gain S-OFF on any hboot version (even 1.01) with this tool?

My Legend has HBOOT 1.01 and I used an XTC clip to get S-OFF.

Ok so, it worked, I now have the Pink AlphaRev logo and the HBoot version is 1.00.1000 SHIP S-OFF. I went from HBoot 1.01, and the phone seems to be working normally, awesome, thanks!

To gain S-OFF you are going to need to downgrade the HBOOT. Have you successfully unlocked the 2.00 HBOOT using the procedure at HTCDEV.com?
That is the first step. Then you can use the downgrade tool and this RUU:

If you really used an XTC Clip to get S-OFF, then you should also have carrier unlocked also.
You can verify this by putting the phone in FASTBOOT USB mode and then running the command:
fastboot getvar all
If you are carrier unlocked, then you cidnum value should be 11111111

If you had HBOOT 2.00 but you told the XTC Clip that you had HBOOT 1.09, then you have probably messed up your phone.
You can try using an official HTC RUU and see if that can get your phone back to a full stock state.
Since you have HBOOT 2.00, you need to use a 3.xx.xxx.x RUU that is appropriate for your carrier, country or region.

can i downgrade with a nandroid using TWRP/CWM

basically trying to get s-off on my device i am on hboot 1.54 as i recently updated to sense 4.2.2
CID: ORANG001
MID: PN0710000
version main: 2.24.61.1
now i have rooted with TWRP & wondering if i can use this nandroid to downgrade:

http://click.xda-developers.com/api... / 1.28.61.7&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13761274174228

Sorry, I've no experience with RUUs - never used one. I would guess it would but since you're S-ON you obviously can't superCID, so you would need to find the proper RUU for your CID.
There is no known way to downgrade an hboot on an s-on device.

Just wondering for my own interest, gunny.. what does an RUU restore? I thought it was stock hboot, firmware, rom, recovery, etc. (everything basically). Or is it just that it can't downgrade even with an RUU if you are S-ON and would need to wait on a new RUU being released? Unless you're S-off and can superCID, then your can run any RUU - and that would downgrade *everything*..
cheers

The RUU is as far as I know a collection of all of the partition images for the phone.
Even with S-off it is not possible to downgrade an HBoot without flashing that HBoot separately. IOW if you are on a 1.54 firmware, in order to flash an RUU containing 1.44 Hboot you have to flash the 1.44 Hboot by itself or else the RUU will fail.
SuperCID (11111111) will pass the CID check
It is my understanding that in the past, S-off meant you could downgrade with just the RUU but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore.
The RUU install checks a few things
MID and CID
HBoot must be the same or greater version number
if these checks fail, the RUU won't flash even with S-off
The beauty of S-off is, we can flash these things manually without the RUU bypassing the checks.
You can simply use the DD command in a root shell and copy the partitions to the phone, but this is dangerous, because if you put a partition in the wrong location, BRICK.
My knowledge here is not as advanced as many here, so someone please correct me if I got any of this wrong.

You need the exact one for your phone/region if you are S-On. Also, you can't downgrade your Hboot when you're S-On. I suspect you are on Hboot 1.54 seeing as you want to downgrade? Well you can't as you couldn't even go S-Off on that Hboot unless you had S-Off before you upgraded.
In a nutshell, you're stuck with what you have until somebody finds a way to go S-Off on Hboot 1.54 ... Why on earth do you want to downgrade anyways

You can't run an RUU though, other than the one made for your model/region and it has to be the same as the version you are on, or newer. To run an RUU that is an earlier version than what you're on requires you to be S-Off I believe and if you're on 1.54 then there isn't currently a way to get S-Off.

Like I said in your previous thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2552669
You might want to read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541082
If you read, then you will understand that the RUU you want to execute need to be compatible with both your CID, MID and hboot version.
So yes its possible, but you need to be s-off to change CID/MID and to downgrade hboot if required.
and please don't start 2 different threads for relatively the same questions.
Hope it help

yes, use revone tool for hboot 1.44 or use rumrunner tool for hboot 1.54 and 1.55
This is the first thing listed in the thread I linked above.....
First you need to be S-Off, this will NOT work with S-On!!!
A) If you’re on hboot 1.44 use revone to get S-Off: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2314582
B) If you’re on hboot 1.54/1.55 use rumrunner to get S-Off: http://rumrunner.us/ and http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2487888

I can't answer that cause I'm not familiar with rumrunner since I s-off'd my One when it was on 1.44 hboot with revone. In theory rumrunner 0.5.0 should work on all international variant with hboot 1.54 and up except verizon model that need a different version of rumrunner. Maybe you should ask help directly on rumrunner thread for that step or search the forum for similar issue with s-off on 1.55. Hope you will find out.

I went back and forth with rumrunner and moonshine while using a rom 4.3 GPE ROM with twrp and it kept failing. ultimately installed a 4.1.2 stock then used revone and it worked wonderfully. I was able to remove the tampered flag, unlock the stock bootloader and flash the GPE 4.3 and receive the updates. I also only have a mac so i was limited in not being able to run .exe's.

Tampered flag is just that, a flag. It doesnt hinder anything, just a pop up for "Warranty" purposes. The flag pops up when you unlock the bootloader but when you get S-Off you can remove the flag.
Since you have access to windows i would go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2428276 and find the .exe RUU for your area. Just get into your bootloader, select fastboot usb and run the .exe. Pick the lowest firmware available so you can ensure that you get the 1.44 hboot.

The zip can only be used with S-Off where as the exe is designed to be used to return a phone to stock with S-On.
Just get into fastboot and run the exe, it should do the rest for you. It will wipe the entire phone, but as far as I'm concerned, a blank phone is better than an unusable one.
I'm not sure if the hboot makes a difference, but mine downgraded when I flashed an older RUU.
Once you get the older hboot and firmware, you may have to unlock your bootloader again through HTC Dev, then S-Off. Once your S-Off unlocking your bootloader is much easier.

If you want to run a GPE RUU.exe your phone MUST have CID compatible (BS_US0001) with GPE and MID: PN0712000
you can check that with this command:
Code:
fastboot oem readcid
fastboot oem readmid
if they doesn't match, you MUST be S-OFF to change them
If your device is currently a DEV edition, you should already have PN0712000 as MID so the only concern is that CID need to match GPE RUU
You should post your
Code:
fastboot getvar-all
and remove imei and sn so it will be easier to see what options you have.

If I have a hboot S-ON it has to be LOCKED or RE-LOCKED. It'll never work with hboot UNLOCK. So if your hboot is S-OFF it not matter.
