Oh, sorry! I have a 2.01 Hboot version, it's okay for the new ICS Sense ROM?

It should be because that is what blackrose is based on. Why does revolutionary hboot not work with ics?

I had installed BlackRose a month ago. And now I tried to flash the new radio, but adb says "no devices found" when in fastboot usb. In recovery it finds it tho.
Ideas ?

Thanks anyway.

Hmm, I've never really played around with the bootloader. I got my phone from another XDA member, who had already rooted it. So the only thing I've ever done (on my Inc S anyway) is flash ROMs. Is there a reason I would need to get Blackrose on my phone?
According to the bootloader I have:
VIVO PVT ENG S-OFF RL
HBOOT-0.96.2000 (PG3212000)

You need blackrose if you want to install ICS
You guys can also use this PG32IMG.zip to get blackrose. Just place it on your sd card, boot in bootloader and just wait. Tell me if it works, don't have the device anymore.
who needs / why do we need this??
I've been able to flash both sense ICS roms and AOSP roms before now - does that mean I don't need it??
thanks

It looks like you need the new unlocked bootloader for the new real ICS roms. Everyone need this. No matter what you have done and used before. But you can also wait for the new blackrose, so you're sure to have the right one.
I guess this worked for me
I had HBOOT 6.13.1002 and now it is HBOOT 2.00.0000

Overwrite it with revolutionary hboot andrun the vivo downgrade on that?
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
And how would I overwrite it with revolutionary hboot? Just install revolutionary?
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda premium
You can make the uninstall.bat work if you replace this line :
Code:
fastboot flash hboot_1.13.0000_CRC_8a731c6e_0401.img
with
Code:
fastboot flash hboot hboot_1.13.0000_CRC_8a731c6e_0401.img
If you can't boot to a ROM, you can just uninstall via fastboot :
Code:
fastboot oem mb 469010a0 16 0
fastboot oem mb 8d09fa58 1 30
fastboot flash hboot <path to any hboot.img>
fastboot reboot-bootloader
I would also recommend to use another new hboot because the one that is used when uninstalling is 1.13.0000 S-ON. Inferi0r posted some There. You can extract hboot.img from PG32IMG.zip
I haven't found how to uninstall directly the new version of BlackRose but I found that old version can overwrite new version.
So if you want to uninstall new version, install old version and then uninstall like explained before
nonverbose wrote a short guide for it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26909973&postcount=13
Files here.
You can overwrite HBOOT-2.00.0000 S-OFF Blackrose and HBOOT-2.02.0002 S-OFF Blackrose with HBOOT-6.13.1002 S-OFF Revolutionary. You can overwrite that HBOOT with HBOOT-6.13.1002 Revolutionary [Overwrite Protection REMOVAL] and then you can flash any stock HBOOT you want.
So there is always a way back.
Why are there threads everywhere of people wanting to uninstall it? I installed it a few days ago and everything seems to work just like it did previously with 6.13.1002. Am I missing something??

Bricked after uninstall?
Hi!
After uninstalling the Blackrose I got hboot 1.13 s-on.
The fact is that I can't launch the recovery and boot into the ROM.
Not sure what's happened. Everything was fine before that (4ext, s-off, custom rom).
Most of methods require adb (so the phone has to be booted to ROM).
Fastboot also fails to flash anything, obviously, cause it's s-on now.
Let me know if I can provide any useful info.
Any advice? Do I really own a brick now?

Now that you are back to HBOOT 1.13, you should be able to use Revolutionary to get S-OFF back and then you should be able to get a custom recovery reinstalled.

Now that you have lost S-OFF, you will not be able to use an unsigned PG32IMG.zip to update the radio and mainver.
You will have to wait until the official 4.10.405.x RUU for ICS/Sense 3.6 is available to download. At this point you will only be able to flash an official, signed HTC RUU/ROM and it needs to be version 4.10 or higher.
Thank you guys!

Nothing special. Please find details below.
I got Nik Aura Rebitth 3.0, 4ext recovery classic 2.2.7 rc5, s-off via Revolutionary (had to downgrade).
Then God knows why I decided to install blackrose (was not really going to install official ROM). Installed with no errors in log. After the reboot the phone displayed 4ext, and it was reinitializing again and again, weird. Then I hit blackrose_IS.exe /uninstall. And that's all. No ROM, no Recovery, hboot 1.13 s-on, mainver 4.10....
If you don't want to upgrade your HBOOT to blackrose 2.0 or 2.0.2 post here so the developers know who to support for the Sense 3.6/4.0 roms they release.
I can also try to help you, I am also on 6.13.1002 and don't intend to change it.

I think that was made with an old hboot in mind, before HTC started 2.0 bootloaders and the lib partition. You could try it, but I don't know any effects.
As the time it stands from my knowledge reading around here, once you go 2.0+ you can't go back down unless you go to htc-dev and unlock thus putting your phone's imei in their database

OK, have you seen the tool made by NonverBose? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1373697

PERSONALLY I ALREADY KNOW THE REASON IT WONT BOOT WITH OLD HBOOT.
it goes like this.
If you want to support older Hboots it's really quite easy:
- on the installer script of your rom do not try to mount the /system/lib partition as it does not exist
- on the ramdisk, init.saga.rc, just take out the line that is mounting the partition, or at the very least, take out the "wait for mount" statement, that blocks until the partition is mounted, and that's what's causing the boot to fail.

That's the thread where I saw you can downgrade from 2.0+ if you go to htcdev and unlock first. There is no known method to stay s-off and downgrade without going to HTC dev, as I understand it.

Yeah, I have a sense 3.6 rom stock made from the RUU and it's booting and working fine, even after partition format etc.
I don't know if he can make it work since he doesn't have a vivo to test with, but he is doing sense 4.0.
Normally I don't like sense, but this is just a side project to get this working with the rev hboot.

I'm here with 6.13.1002 as well, and I would prefer to stay with that Hboot...
BTW kaijura I came from hboot 2.0 without passing by htc-dev, I just run nonverbose's tool...
Originally that tool used hellion bug or something similar but now uses tacoroot and work for sure with hboot 2.0 ( personally tested) not sure about 2.02.
The step are simple: just extrat the tool and answer the question...
If I recall corretly: downgrade, I don't have htc-dev unlock phone, I want to create a goldcard and that's it!
The script does all, u have only to reboot the phone and tell him when is rebooted!
Interesting, thanks for the share. I will read into it on the tacoroot.
Here is a link for stock HTC Sense 3.6 ICS 4.0.4 from the Chinese RUU. It's not based on Niks' or Lost prophet's rom. I just made it so it's working for 6.13.1002 hboot for anyone who wants to test it to try it out instead of waiting.
I don't intend to develop this rom or add features to it. It's just a test rom to see if it works and if you want to see what sense 3.6 is like without having to upgrade hboot.
STOCK CHINESE RUU WORKING FOR HBOOT 6.13.1002:
some bugs I've noticed:
- No play store, this may be due to related with CN region as they don't have google services (gmail, youtube, etc). Need to figure if it's APK related or something else.
- SU isn't loaded in yet. I'll have to look later what's wrong.
- Wifi MIGHT or MIGHT NOT work. It seems to be a regional issue and I need SU to install wifixmanager to test it.
- don't know what else, I didn't use it very long.
Rest of everything should be working. Mobile data, camera/camcorder, gmail, youtube, browser. Like I said, it's just a test rom so you know what sense 3.6 is like when the official one is ready.
http://www.4shared.com/zip/3Wy-g_WB/NoSU_noStore_Wifimaybe_rom.html
kaijura, first yes its correct that with the newish tacoroot exploit we no longer need to unlock via htcdev (thanks for pointing this out guys).
Secondly I have successfully swapped from revolutionary hboot to blackrose 2.02 and then back to revolutionary, no PC connection required. Here's the steps I took (and that others may at their own risk )
Make sure you have a nandroid or rom you wish to install. I know I shouldn't have to tell most people this so late in the game but anythings possible.
Download blackrose and extract hboot_blackrose.img to your sdcard root. Its not necessary to use the root folder but fits in this context.
Open terminal, or download and open if you dont have, and type:
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/hboot_blackrose.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
then reboot into recovery.
4ext touch recommended that I do a full system format, but you could probably just get away with formatting cache.
At this stage you should probably verify that you have actually installed the blackrose, by entering hboot.
To revert to revolutionary, its pretty much the same procedure. Simply put revhboot.img in your sdcard root folder and type:
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/revhboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
Reboot into recovery and format the cache, and verify again if necessary.
Edit: using the dd command does carry some risk. You should check the md5sums before flashing. This can be done in terminal
Code:
md5sum /sdcard/hboot_blackrose.img
Code:
md5sum /sdcard/revhboot.img
or in your favourite file explorer.
hboot_blackrose.img
MD5: 9ccb6c894bba1a32a551a6569fc6fccd
revhboot.img
MD5: b9758c59b660cb3dcf5037ec5ccd6b78
I am still on the revolutionary Hboot, and I do not intend to change unless there is either a performance improvement, or if I have to.
I am on ice cold sandwich
I dont really want to be messing with things I dont usually mess with, just as a precaution
Haven't you guys got around the problem anyway?

Me too. I'm keeping away from anything that wants me to switch to blackrose hBoot. It's a pity, I like ARHD. Mike, do something, to make /lib a part of root partition, than as a separate partition, as needed by HTC ICS 4.04.

AFAIK that new /lib partition is needed because otherwise / or /system will be too small. So, as I understand it some time you'll have to upgrade hboot or you can't use the latest ROMs...

Its been said by some users that blackrose isn't needed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28490846&postcount=5266
Or if you want to install blackrose,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28507018&postcount=5298
The reason behind using blackrose is because of some new partitions, which save space on the /system partition of the phone, in case you run out of space there (I didn't have this problem with the sense ICS roms I use on revolutionary hboot like yours)
If you can't install busybox or something in /system, you might need blackrose
Hope that helps
