hboot - Droid Incredible General

hey wat does updating the hboot do? do u have to like update it in order to install some of the roms or somethin?

An update in hboot can be diff. things. One being a radio update (which you never want to flash that same file twice or you'll brick you phone), but there are other things you can update as well. If you are getting the message to up date it when you are goint into revovery, there is more than likely and update.zip in your sd card. I would delete it if you aren't sure why it's there!

i was just asking because every one is like saying that they updated to 0.92 or something and i dont even know what version i have lol

Not exactly sure what the updated versions do exactly, but I can tell you how to check which one you currently have. Power off, then hold volume down and press the power button. At the top it should say HBOOT something.somethingsomething. There you have it lol

That is incorrect. A radio can be flashed over itself. What cannot be flashed twice is a radio patch file since they contain no error checking and simply overwrite what they please. Full versions, such as those contained in PB31IMG.zips are not problematic in that regard.

Updated HBOOTs bring some "under the hood" enhancements that the end user really isn't going to notice. To answer your second question, though, some ROMs do require an updated HBOOT. A handful, for instance, won't boot unless you have HBOOT .92

If that is true, you'll still never see me flash the same radio twice I don't like pushing my luck in hboot.

Official Eris RUU

Just in case you need it, here it is.
http://www.pcdphones.com/downloads/Eris MR1.zip
This is the Dec 11th update?
Yes but it is the full ruu not just the update if you use this you will loose all of you data and settings.
This may be a work around for those experiencing problems since the update.
this works great for the phone os issues caused by the update. but there are apps in the market that cause your phone to freak out. it's not the eris's fault or the apps fault. when upgrades happen like the way htc did this one it bound to cause some apps to freak out cause of the update. htc has no obligaton to support these apps either that's on the app creator to fix htc is only fixing it's own issues.
this is the reason why htc doe not like quick patches to thier phones. if you look at the history of the dream/G1 this is the first quick patch other than 1.30. because 1.29 allowed root level commands in the contacts area but that was to fix that problem not to fix customer complaints. i just hope htc goes back to the we'll get you a patch when we get you a patch mentality. cause it seems less problematic that way.
just my feelings

I've got the EXE if you have something/somewhere I can upload it to?
You could use megaupload? Or try uploading it to this site aka xda?
If I were to just install the 2.1 leak wouldn't that do basically the same thing? Or is this easier?
The RUU in this thread was for MR1, which is still Android 1.5. I think you're looking for the newer RUU: http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Des...WWE_2.36.605.1_release_signed_with_driver.exe
Ok so if I download that what do I do with it to unroot?

Attach your phone to your computer with the USB cable, and run the RUU program in Windows. It will wipe all data from your phone and return it to the stock 2.1 software, complete with the 1.49 S-ON bootloader, the default recovery image, and no root.
If you want to re-root from there, you'll have to use one of the new root methods, since your phone will be identical to the phones that Verizon is currently shipping out (with Android 2.1), not the original Android 1.5 version of the software.
Awesome, thanks a ton.
i am trying to use this to unroot my phone so i can send in for a replacement and it goes through all the checks and verifications. it rebbots to the bootloader then while updating signiture i get error 140 bootloader version error saying the rom update utility cannot update your android phone please get the correct rom update utility and try again?? if this doesnt work is there another easy way to unroot?

If you get a version error, you need to first run jcase's "Flash any RUU" hack.**
Note that (strictly speaking) jcase should have entitled his post "Flash any PB00IMG.zip ROM" because of another small complication: some ROMs do not have a compatible version of the "reboot" command (the RUU utility first uses the reboot command to put the phone into oem-78/RUU mode). If you insist on using the RUU utility, you can overcome this minor problem by first flashing a compatible ROM, such as PlainJane.
But, it is just as easy to flash the Leak-V3 PB00IMG.zip ROM, which produces the identical result as the "Official" RUU.
Note also that if you have used the RUU utility, them you already have USB drivers installed on your PC, and so getting adb running on the PC does not require setting up the full-blown SDK (you don't need Eclipse set up) : just download the SDK, unzip it, and you are ready to rumble.
To reiterate: if you get a version error, you need to run jcase's "Flash any RUU" hack first; after that, you can either run the HBOOT+Leak-V3 PB00IMG.zip install, or the RUU. The PB00IMG.zip method has no dependencies, and is somewhat easier.

This is the exe that I used to restore my Eris from Kaos Froyo to Stock 2.1. All I did was run the exe file and follow simple prompts. It took about 10-15 mins and the Eris was ready to return to VZW.

You see I have tried to use the RUU wizard set up thru fresh. When I tried it I got an error.
there was a post a few days ago with the old radios in an update.zip format that you could flash from recovery, have you tried using that to downgrade yet?

People told me to flash the original radio in the same manner as the updated radio in nandroid. It did not work. Then they told me to RUU, that bricked or now semi-bricked my phone. I just think you should be prepared before you do anything. Running the RUU apparently does not work as well as some people think it does.

The problem is you are trying to use nandroid to flash an update.zip.
The radio will come as an update.zip format. Flash it like you would a new rom through recovery.
Nandroid does nothing for radio flashing. You can literally fry the phone's motherboard by flashing the wrong radio, I would know seeing as I did it to my first phone. lol

how did making a nandroid recovery save you from bricking your phone??
okay so on the thread with the radios that Avalaunchmods posted, there was an error in the way he had his stock radio.img flash onto the phone. i'm attaching a signed stock radio that should flash correctly.
it SHOULD work. i don't see why it wouldn't work, because it is a CDMA radio and what it would do is just rewrite the old radio over the new radio. so i don't see a problem with this bricking any phones. but i don't take any liability if something goes wrong.
Just verify that you have the correct radio, and make sure it is coming from the CDMA Hero section and not the GSM section.
The real danger comes from flashing a GSM radio onto a CDMA hero. If you do this you will watch your phone kill itself.
I believe the radio was posted, though you could get it out of the RUU I think? Then you'd just need to request someone sign the zip and use it as an update.zip from recovery.
i took that radio.img from Avalaunchmod's thread. the radio that he got that out of was from the RUU, so yes, this is definitely a CDMA radio and its from the RUU.

After Radio Update I'm stuck on Boot screen

Hello,
I ran the radio OTA, followed the instructions, and after it rebooted itself it is just stuck on the htc incredible splash screen. If I hold power down and power I do get in to the boot loader, but rebooting still hangs on that splash screen. I read through the OTA thread and I didnt see any mention of this problem, any ideas?
Also, if I put PB31IMG.zip back on and let it do its thing, it tells me the version is too old. Any ideas?
did u wipe?

I'm having the same problem, and I just ran the 2.15.00.07.28 radio zip. To be honest I didn't wipe first as I thought I didn't need to. I did run unrevoked forever prior to attempting this install. I was going to right before installing CM6.. but obviously I didn't get that far. I did run a nandroid backup before hand.
So right now I'm still staring at this htc incredible splash screen. Holding power or volume down or both doesn't change anything and I'm afraid to take out the battery. Any suggestions?!
Thanks
edit: ok so I read on the 2.15 release thread that some others were having the same problem.. Am I safe to pull out the battery and try a reflash?

OK, what are you trying to do? Sounds like you are trying to install the leaked OTA from early July (the one that gives 720P video recording)?
If that IS what you are attempting, it sounds like you already have it otherwise you wouldn't be getting that main version is older message. Check your hboot version, if it is .77 that is stock, .79 is the newer one I think

My fault, I misunderstood.
No you can flash any radio, just dont flash the same one twice, or step on any cracks, and never walk under a ladder!
I just went from 1.03.04... to 2.05, and now just installed 2.15.. I didn't have any problems at all.
My fix
I had this exact issue, where it hangs on the HTC Incredible boot screen after trying to update the radio. I could boot into HBOOT (voldown+power) after a battery pull, and when it tried to update my PB31IMG.zip file, it would give some type of error, and when I would try and go into recovery it would jump back to the HTC Incredible boot screen and hang again.
I determined that my problem was caused either by a bad radio or bad recovery flash from the PB31IMG.zip file I had downloaded. I pulled my SD card and plugged it into my laptop using the MicroSD-to-SD adapter, deleted the PB31IMG.zip file, REDOWNLOADED the file from my laptop and stuck it back in the root of my SD card, the put the SD card back in the phone and rebooted into HBOOT and reflashed the radio/recovery. Problem solved.
I don't know if that will work for everyone, but it is exactly what happened to me.
Hope it helps,

Yes my phone was bricked using that method. I'm trying not to overuse the term "bricked."
Thanks for all the help.. but once I pulled the battery and turned the phone back on, apparently it booted up just fine. I guess it just needed a little push in the right direction. Once I checked the settings, the radio was indeed flashed. I got really worried over nothing I installed CM6 and everything is just fine.

God, I just KNEW I shouldn't have even tried to root... Please help =(

I recently got back a warranty swap Nexus One with an old version of android (2.2) and thought to myself "Hell, I might as well try rooting for once since it the 1-click method doesn't unlock the bootloader and you can always go back right?" Wrong
Well, I updated the radio as part of the Cyanogen 6.1 installation to radio version 5.12.00.08 and now that I don't want to be rooted anymore I can't seem to get the radio version back to normal to what it should be on 2.2.1
The 2.2.1 radio should be: Baseband version 32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.12_7
But when I updated to 2.2.1 it stayed the same: Baseband version 32.50.00.32U_5.12.00.08
Have I screwed up my radio? I just want to get my phone back to normal please help

Does the phone still function? Making calls, sending texts.. etc?
If so, then whats the problem? The radio update was probably included in the ROM you flashed, if you're experiencing problems, search the forum for the Radio you want and instructions on how to flash
Be careful though, you can brick your phone when flashing a radio.. so make sure you read the instructions..
Good Luck

2 things I am worried about:
1. Before I rooted and changed the radio, I could check for system updates and it would say I could to update to 2.2.1 ota... Now, after I unrooted and got it back to stock 2.2, I would check system updates and it no longer gave me the option to update to 2.2.1 (I had to manually do this)
This worries me since I don't want to miss out on all future ota updates if my radio has been screwed up when I flashed one earlier.
2. Radio has been slower since upgrading manually to 2.2.1 but still having the old radio in place.
Isn't the each radio optomized for the particular android build?
Also what about rooting causes the phone not to get the new ota update? Is it the changing of its radio?
What country is yor phone? And with what build did it came after warranty?
My guess the radio is just part of the update (if you flashed a stock rom)
I recently bought my nexus in holland it came with FRF91
And 5.08.00.04 radio so
Radio isn't per build.
There was a major change to adjust to Froyo in 4.06 radio, all the above are compatible with it, all the 4.04 and below are compatible with Eclair and not suitable for Froyo.
2.2.1 includes 5.08 anyway. Your not getting OTA doesn't have anything to do with radio.
You can flash any radio you want when you're rooted, using the guide found in Wiki.
Yeah I've benefited from newer radios. Dont sweat it your rooted, this is good.

It's the rom and recovery.
I really would not get stressed out about this. Worst case scenario is that you have to come on xda every so often and flash the update manually.
LOL, if ur on CM6 u already have 2.2.1 and worrying about future otas, root user update to latest version normally before unrooted people and u should have to problem updating, if u want to revert back to the old boring stock version just flash one of the shipping roms in bootloader by renaming them to PASSIMG.zip

1) From where did you upgrade to 2.2.1?
if you upgraded from rom manager or any ROM given by developer, they remove the radio and provide it as a separate update file.
http://www.tap3w0rm.com/hosted/android/radios/nexus-1/FRF50-radio-4_06_00_12_7.zip is the update for radio you want.
2) However, Radio update is not what you want. "Recovery" is what you want. Recovery is a piece of software that allows you to flash custom ROMS. did you install Amon's recovery or Clockwork (from ROM Manager) recovery?
You will not get OTA if you have one of these custom recoveries. you will need the stock recovery.
3) In short, you need to flash your phone with a completely stock google ROM.
follow these instructions
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...des_&_Tutorials#Unroot_.2F_Restore_your_Nexus
hmmm interesting...what makes you wanna unroot besides OTA? From what I see that's virtually no advantage to go back to stock rom
If you really want official OTAs, just make sure you check xda often when those are pushing out. There will be stock OTA updates hanging around.
Try this:
http://djmcnz.batteryboss.org/Kang-o-rama/froyo/radio/froyo-radio-update-signed.zip
Flash it from custom recovery. It will reboot, unpack the radio, reboot again in a few minutes, and you should end up back on the 4.06 radio. For what it's worth.
If you want to go back to totally stock unrooted, the most complete way to do so is using a PASSIMG file.

I installed Clockwork recovery when I first did the Cyanogen flash so how do I know if I still have it on my phone blocking OTA updates?
I had an old 2.2.1 update.zip on my SDcard from an old Nexus One that I sent in through a warranty swap.
Then I powered off and did the whole Volume Down + Power button.
I get the screen with the 3 androids on skateboards and clicked on Recovery
I press on recovery
When I see the triangle with exclamation mark I press power button + volume up and the only options I see are reboot system now, install update.zip from sd card, factory reset, wipe cache
I click on install update.zip (2.2.1) and reboot system now so the phone reboots but I still am stuck with the old radio. How do I know if I have stock recovery and will get OTA updates from now on?

I tried the steps exactly (PASSIMG.ZIP on sd card) but when I do the power + volume down step 7 doesnt happen. There isn't any screen looking for update files. I get the screen with the 3 skateboarding androids instead and no way to get the PASSIMG.ZIP file to work.
Can't you download a unrooted 2.2 rom from rom manager and then ota once its installed? Dont quote me though I've never actually tried to unroot

On my phone this is what I get in bootloader mode...
I start up the phone holding down the trackball, and I get the Fastboot with the skateboards. The first menu option, BOOTLOADER, is highlighted. I press Power and I get to the HBOOT screen (also with skateboarding androids). I wait 5-10 seconds and it checks for a PASSIMG on SD. Since I don't have one, it finds nothing and returns me to HBOOT.
Or alternately I boot while holding volume down and I get HBOOT directly. In 5-10 seconds it checks for PASSIMG. The only time it won't do that is if my SD is not installed.
You're saying that on yours it doesn't check for PASSIMG at all?
I am in a somewhat similar boat (though not exactly), a colleague of mine purchased a used Nexus One off of fleebay and it came rooted running Cyanogen 6 with Clockwork Recovery (for the Recovery Image).
My colleague wants it to be completely stock (which I do not understand as I find Cyanogen 6 to be far better) and asked me the resident Android guy if I could help.
I figured PASSIMG.zip was the way to go and downloaded the stock rom from developer.htc.com and renamed it PASSIMG.zip. I put the PASSIMG.zip file on his SD card and booted into the bootloader. It checks the PASSIMG.zip image but does not offer me option to install it. It simply checks it and then offers me the normal 4 options.
Any thoughts?

Read the Wiki, it has specific reference to FRG83 stock ROM now, which refuses to work in PASSIMG mode.

Try as update.zip through custom recovery? Then clear the custom recovery by flashing stock one...then delete superuser.apk + unroot?

Actually, it's just the ROM. Even if you have a custom recovery: a rooted, stock ROM will still receive OTA updates...
Yes but on quite a few custom recoveries, it will fail to install due to the signature.

True. If you are using anything earlier than Amon_RA 1.8 or the latest ClockworkMod, it won't install.

[Update]Radio ROM Thread. (all 8 hd7 Radio's are online)

Here you find some radio rom's for your hd7
[Update] now you will find a custom wrapper made by Dave shaw" attached to this post.
and here a link to Dave Shaw his thread where he share his wrapper to the world
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16460826&posted=1#post16460826
task 00 - this does not perform any kind of format after flashing a ROM.
This is the one you should use when flashing just Splash screens or Radios.
It saves you from having to restore all your data.
what to do with this:
1) download the attachment and extract (HD7_RUUWrapper_00)
2) download a radio you want to flash and extract.
3) copy the RUU_Signed.nbh from the stock folder (only for now, will update later)
4) bring phone in bootloader.
5) run ROMUpdateUtility.exe
6) follow instructions on screen.
7) run R/H spl again (this will change later when I updated the radios)
how to bring phone into bootloader mode:
(reboot while hold volume down button pressed). Connect to PC and wait for drivers to be installed. (USB appears on the bottom of phone screen) Than start updater to flash radio.
if you have a rom with a radio that isn't in this post please send me a download link
in the .rar we have:
nb folder (here you find the spl.nb and radio.nb)
Stock folder ( here you find the stock spl/radio.nbh)
XML folder (here you find a .xml with all the data from the 2 .nb files)
RUU_Signed.nbh (this is a radio only .nbh)

Remember you have R/H spl by Cotulla.
Remember that this will NOT reset the phone
Remember that if you take the radio from the stock folder that this will undo R/H spl so you have to run that again to
Thanks goes to:
Dave Shaw for making us a wrapper that doesn't hard reset.
xboxmod for helping me with almost everything
ondraster for the good chats (most things I really didn't understand )
updated the first post
I updated the first post with a ROMUpdateUtility.exe so that all can easy flash the radios to the phone
Thanks a lot for these Ceesheim. Wish I would've had these before I rolled all the way back to catch the firmware update from Tmob By the way, if we flash the new radio from Tmob, will it update all firmware that is in the actual update? I'm asking as I need to do a friends phone and would like to avoid rolling back just to get that done. Lastly, (and this is just to be sure), but will the phone really be hard reset from just flashing the radio (unlike it used to be on WM).

yes sorry , for now this will Hreset the phone because there is no public custom wrapper (one that does the task 32 instead of task 28)
"By the way, if we flash the new radio from Tmob, will it update all firmware that is in the actual update?"
do you mean a os update by ZUNE/MS/HTC ?
sorry don't know actually what you mean by this ?
but what this does is only updating the radio rom ( not the os and not the spl)

Ok, just wanted to be sure about the hard reset. And I mean there was an update from Tmob talked about here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1188563 and wanted to know, if you install the radio which comes from this firmware update, will all the components of the firmware be updated as well? Or is the firmware update, pretty much just an update to radio and that's it?

it will only change this "5.51.09.11a" to "5.65.09.25a_22.45.50.21U." part
or one you like
and if you look at the phone (on custom dft) you will see this 2250.21.30401.531.DFT
the number 2250.21.30401.531.DFT is just an identification number I think, it doesn't say anything about with build you have.
so if you ask me then if you only update the radio all would be ok.
edit:
lol, yes to me it looks like just a radio update, and you can take every radio you like my radio comes from this "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1183891" rom (I extracted it and removed the spl)
So im right in thinking the new custom RUU won't hard reset the device when flashing radios?.

yes I am testing one as we speak but the problem is that it generate errors (and that isn't good for noobs )
and I can also tell you that the custom ruu is actually worked (no hard reset after radio flash )
but first the errors need to be fixed after that it will be posted on xda
i am trying to flash this "TMOUS_3.01.531.02_Radio_5.65.09.25a" on my HTC HD7 Tmobile.i am getting error 270 - update error

when flash is at 100% then just remove batt
if it didn't update then use the radio in the stock folder and run r/h spl after flash one moer time .

Ok, got you. I'm sure there has to be something else in the firmware update besides the radio, but probably doesn't matter much anyways. Can't wait for the custom wrapper either

hey Kwill , look at first post
The TMOUS update you're talking about included driver updates to fix the HTC Pink Camera issue. So, flashing just a radio ROM from here will not help. Flashing a custom ROM may undo this as well as I don't know if the custom ROM's have the updated drivers.

Hi!
I was just wondering if I flash the RUU_signed.nbh from the root folder the Cotulla HSPL remains in place. Which is really true but the phone cannot start: it keeps returning back to the BootLoader.
This is easy to resolve: Flash RUU_signed.nbh from stock folder of the archive as it is described in the first post. Cotulla HSPL is gone but ROM and data is intact. .
Hope there will be a fix for keeping HSPL in place.
Anyway this is far more easy now to upgrade my radio. I thanked every post by ceesheim here. (I hope I won't get in to trouble with that. )
Really thank you guys.

As seen in many Android XDA forums with modem, this thread is stuck now.
Btw, nice job , a well made thread, i've found it so understandable.

Ok, that's what I was afraid of (there being something that wouldn't update with the firmware update). Guess I'll take my friends phone through the rollback and update him that way. Thanks drkfngthdragnlrd for chiming in on that one.

Where is the stock folder of the archive which contain RUU_signed.nbh located.I need to deinstall my HSPL.
Hi, I've read the instructions a few times, but I guess I'm missing something. I keep getting the attached Error when I run it. My phone does the have the HSPL also.
Thanks
i am on asia HD7 Singtel
i would suggest not flashing this thing onto yr phone because a while back i recenived the same HTC firmware update available to Tmous users.
the htc update updates the radio to 5.65. and we arent sure if it contains other enahncements, bug elimination or any other improvements

You should download any Radio ROM archive from the first post than extract it. Inside you can find three folders. Or of them (stock) contains RUU_signed.nbh you're searching for. Use that for flashing.
