AplhaRev X Help & Support

Hey everybody,
I'm opening this thread as a support tool for AplhaRev X.
I'm going to go first with my problem.
Phone gets detected, Beta key accepted and then I get to aquiring root.....
And that seems to be as far as I can get. I just seem to get stuck there.
Firstly I did it using Windows 7, which tells you to wait up to 15 mins and I went over this period. I did a factory reset on phone and tried again with the same result
I've just tried the Linux version on Ubuntu, again with the same result.
I've been connected as charge only, usb debugging turned on.
Currently running eclair 1.37 WWE but with hboot 1.01.0002 after several downgrades/upgrades attempting to root my phone. I am also using a goldcard and a modded misc image.
Why am I getting stuck at this point? Do I need to flash 2.2 first? Do I need to format sdcard or something?
Thanks

Im kind of new to android and I would love to try this, but could some1 please first post or link me a guide wich tells me what to do after this alpharev X's s-off, if i would like to install cyanogenmod (and i guess clockwordmod recovery needs to be installed too)?

Is there anything else that I need beside AlphaRev X software? Because I run the software and connect the phone and it says "Waiting for device...". I left it for ten minutes and it still didn't detect my phone. Also, I have enabled USB debugging and selected "Charge only" mode when connected to PC. Am I doing something wrong?
Also note that I don't know a lot about flashing.
Thanks in advance

You need:
Unrevoked hboot drivers: http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install
ADB:
Download Android SDK

@dannyjmcguinness
good to see it solved. Issue maybe due to gingerbreak supporting froyo.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
@Hooda_mask
What is ur os version. Have u downgraded to eclair without downgrading hboot (there is a process actually).
Maybe u also need the unrevoked hboot drivers. Uninstall htc sync if present.
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install
Alternatively, irrespective of process, try to connect phone to pc in fastboot mode and check the command fastboot reboot from command prompt "tools folder" of android sdk (where fastboot.exe lies) and see whether phone reboots or not.

It is probably worth mentioning that these drivers are only required if you are using Windows. If you use the Linux version no additional drivers are needed.

Have you tried a factory reset first?
I've done 2 devices but I got another one 1 to do.
1 of them was on Vodafone 2.2. That one was successful.
There was another update for Vodafone after Froyo, which was installed on the one I'm having problems with, resulting in same error.
Are you fully OTA updated?

1.01.0002 to 1.01.0001
[Deleted]

If Anyone having problem with doing S-OFF then verify this before proceeding:
1. Make sure you have Froyo (Official) WWE ROM installed. So that you will have version 2.2.1
2. Make sure you have WWE ROM installed so that your hboot version will be 1.01.0001 as there's some problem with others like 1.01.0002 or so..
3. Make sure HTC Sync is uninstalled as it may interrupt the normal operation of the tool. DON'T UNINSTALL DRIVERS.
4. Make sure you are in Charge Only mode and Debugging Mode Option selected. If not goto Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging - Check this option.
5. Make sure your phone is connected with turned on in normal mode not in hboot or recovery or fastboot mode.
6. If you have Eclair ROM upgrade it to FROYO and if you have Regional ROM which has hboot different from 1.01.0001 then downgrade it to WWE ROM by using below method provided by dannyjmcguinness:
Code:
1. Started out with hboot 1.01.0002 and Froyo 2.2.1 preinstalled when I bought it new.
2. Achieved shell root using the psneuter hack (newbies, you may find it easier using SuperOneClick 1.65 or 1.7 for this). You should now have root #.
3. Run command "adb shell cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/mtd0.img". This creates an image of mtd0 on sdcard. There are other tutorials with theses kind of steps and you may find it referred to as misc.img as opposed to mtd0.img. This doesn't really matter as long as the final command includes the correct file name. This command will fail if connected as disk drive, you must be charge only.
4. Reconnect as disk drive allowing computer gui access to sdcard. Using a hex editor (I used HxD, which is freeware) open disk image mtd0 on sdcard. On line 6 you should find a version number and it will look something like 2.22.405.1. This needs to altered to correspond to the RUU you intend to flash. If you are on hboot 1.01.002 you need an WWE RUU first that contains hboot 1.01.001 so you are still looking at reinstalling Froyo. Those allready on hboot 1.01.001 may choose any WWE RUU. I'm not absolultley sure, but it may be possible for those on those on hboot 1.01.002 to skip to another RUU but I think you would more than likely get a "customer ID" error.
5. I used the goldcard method to flash my RUU. There are many tutorials, but some seem to sequence different steps. To get mine working I used the goldcard tool available on these forums, but found it wouldn't work. It does, however do a good job of getting your CID and reversing it for you, so copy that and use the page provided with the tool to get your goldcard via email.
6. Make sure you are connected as disk drive and open HxD again. Open the goldcard image as read-only. Also open the sdcard (after using windows to full format it, fat32). Oh yeah, dont forget it needs to be a primary partition (do this before format) there is a handy free tool called "MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition", which is so easy to use. Make sure physical sd disk is opened and read-only is unchecked.
7. Copy the goldcard using HxD (select all, or 0 - 17F) and overwrite the same blocks on sdcard. Save it.
8. Disconnect phone from PC and allow phone to mount, reconnect as disk drive. If phone or PC asks for format keep repeating sequence until normal operation can be maintained.
9. Download "flash_image" a file with no extension. Push it to sdcard. You need to have flash_image and your modified mtd0.img on your sdcard (It may be useful to ceate goldcard before creating mtd0.img, unless you back it up to PC before goldcard creation).
10. Run command (connected charge only, as root) "cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
11. Run command "chmod 0755 /data/flash_image" On a seperate note I've been using permission set 67676 as I've noticed the permission set seems to be more then 4 digits, there seems to be 5, poosibly even 6 digits. This particular permission changes some of the permissions to capital characters. What use this is, i dont know I'm looking into it though
12. run command "/data/./flash_image misc /sdcard/mtdo.img"
13. You should now be able to flash RUU or pull rom.zip from temp files when running RUU and rename PC49IMG.zip
14. PC49IMG.zip should be pushed to root of sdcard if using goldcard (I don't know if RUU can be flashed normally without goldcard, but i think so, i dont think RUU pushes rom.zip to sdcard but it may be necessary as a CID thing).
15. Its now successfully downgraded to 1.01.0001 (WWE FROYO ROM)
Or check here too for downgrading:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1132028&highlight=1.01.0002+to+1.01.0001
Hope after this checks you can S-OFF successfully.

Quick question, anyone got any patched hboot partition tables? Ordo i have to do it myself?

SORRY had enough I JUST WONT HAVE IT DONT NO WHAT I AM DOING JUST KEEPS FAILING ALL THE TIME S-OFF YES I AM NEED HELP BIG TIME

Good lord, it's working!

This is kinda weird...
I ran the tool.
It ended by saying everything went smooth but when I try to boot into recovery or run any app that needs root access it just tells me that I'm not rooted...
The 'funny' thing is that when I boot into HBOOT at the top of the screen it says:
---AlphaRev ---
BUZZ PVT SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.01.1002
.
.
.
So it says S-OFF but apparently not.
When I try to run AlphaRevX again I'm told that my phone is not supported...
Any one?

It just gave you S-OFF. Not a Custom Recovery like ClockworkMod, and not the Superuser binary which gives you root access. These are additional processes which you all have to perform after getting S-OFF. Refer this guide:

Sorry, thanks and it worked...
I misunderstood. I thought it also rooted. Followed your link and it worked like a charm. thank you VERY much!

Just bought a rooted HD2

I just bought a new T-mobile HD2 and just found out it is rooted with ultimate droid 2.5.0 umm says model number is HTC brovo...android version 2.2.1....thats all i can seem to get a hold of. But I have rom manager (free) installed,super user installed nothing in it...What can i do with this phone?? do i need to update anything??

Well I think you have the ROM from this thread so yes you have the most up to date version of your ROM. But you updating is up to you and your wants and needs. There are so many ROMs out there to choose from. You just have to check them out to see if you like them better. Ohcand don't forget the MIUI ROMS.
Hope this helps some.

That pic in the link is what shoews up while its booting so if i want a different rom what would you suggest? also any help on a video or post you can point me too to show me how to change roms quick since my phone is rooted already?

Come on you may be new here but at least put some effort into searching
Try here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=928
There are a bag full most of them very good.
Its a matter (as T-m said) of choosing one you like the look of and give it a go, I like the rom in my sig, but hay have a good look around

Sorry for the late response buit to change Andriod ROMs quickly all you have to do is use Clockwork Mod Recovery. Check out the guide in my sig to learn how to use Clockwork Mod Recovery and also look for the link at the top of the guide to the HD2 NAND Toolkit. This toolkit is a all in one tool to flash anything that can be flashed to NAND on the HD2. Makes flashing the HD2 easy as pie in my opinion.

Since you seem like the only one helping me i also have another issue the globe on the main screen you press to get to internet is gone and when i click the blank space it says no application. It was working fine but now the only way to use the internet is when i downloaded firefox and can access the internet threw there. Although i rather use my old one before it went missing...Any advise on what i should do to get it back?

Ok first do you have the globe icon in your app tray? If so you need to long prrss the icon so you can move it to your home screen then long press it again to drag it to the open spot on your launcher.
If that does not work for some odd reason or is not a option for you. Then you might want to look and see if you have a NANDroid back up of your ROM made with Clockwork Mod Recovery. To do this you need a file manager such as Astro File Manager. Then go to sdcard/clockworkmod/backup and see if a backup exists in that folder. if so you can use Clockwork Mod Recovery to do a restore with that backup. How you get to Clockwork Mod Recovery depends on if you use MAGLDR or cLK for your Android bootloader. So you might want to say which one you are using. Or just check out my sig you will find both methods in the guide link. Anyway after you do a restore you shouild have the problem fixed. But be warned, the backup will revert any app version if it has older app versions backup.

Also i noticed on my htc hd2 when i bought it under Model number is Htc bravo? is that normal?

It says Bravo cause that is probably the device the ROM came from. It probably started out as a ROM dump from a bravo.

No. icon was not in app tray ..Also no i did not have a back up clockwork in my sd .. So where do i go from here? I can access clockwork threw rom manager but no older version available

Ok I suggest you do a reset of your ROM thos requires Clockwork Mod Recovery. It depends on if you use MAGLDR or cLK as to hpw you have to boot into CWM.
To get to CWM with MAGLDR you hold the end key down while booting your HD2 to get to the MAGLDR main menu. Select either option #2 AD SD or option #8 AD recovery. One of the two should boot you into CWM if you are using MAGLDR.
To boot into CWM if you are using cLK you need to hold down thechome key while you boot your HD2.
Next you select "wipe data/factory reset and then select yes and it will reset the ROM just like it was when first installed.
If this does not work go to the thread I linked for you in post #2 and download the ROM. I looked and the ROM developer says nothing about having two versions of the ROM. Then copy the zip file you download to your SD card. Then you want to boot your HD2 into Clockwork Mod Recovery.
So after you are booted into CWM you need to select "install zip from sd". Then you select "choose zip from sd". Then you just find the zip file on your sd card and select it the select yes and it will flash your ROM. Now be warned this will be just like a hard rest of your ROM. You will lose anything not backed up on your computer or SD card.
You can though make a backup of your current ROM though seeing as it is the same ROM I told you to download. You can then use the advance restore and only restore your data and cache, this should atleast put the globe icon back in your app tray and you can then move it as I said in my last post.
Sorry for the long post jist wanted to cover as much as posible in one post.

when i choose #2 it says "SD kernel option failed" and #8 says "No boot sources"

Click to expand...

SD Kernel failed means you either do not have the two necassary files, initrd.gz and zImage, to boot CWM from your SD card. Or that something is wrongcwithcCWM and you need to delete and re copy good files to your SD card to be able to boot CWM from your SD card.
No boot source means you so not have CWM flashed to NAND of your HD2. Or maybe something is wrongcwith your CWM in NAND. But I am leanong more towards no Cwm flashed to NAND. Which is weird cause Ultimate Droid does not have a DAF file with it Idon't think. To flash CWM to your NAND I recomend you use the HD2 NAND Toolkit
Either way it goes it means you do not have a working CWM on your HD2. My advice, you need CWM,
Let me know if you have any trouble flashing CWM. Later...........
.

Ok so MAGLDR is CWM?
And even though i pwer up my phone and says a have MAGLDR 1.13 the latest version?

Also my red green blue and white screen it says SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE

Your bootloader is fine. (2.08 HSPL is what you want and have)
Flash CWM from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898913
use the 150 for smaller aosp roms such as CM7, use the bigger ones for like Sense 3.0 and such.
just flash it via the USB flasher in MAGLDR, then use the ad recovery option to enter CWM from magldr and flash the ROM from there.

also, off topic I know, but it's good to see a fellow houston HD2 owner hacking his phone

Are you in houston? maybe i can have you look at it because im a complete noob and i think i need to start from scratch as you can see because i got the phone like this

Want to repurpose/play around with my G1

Hello,
I recently got a Nexus One to replace my old G1. Now that the Nexus One is my daily driver phone, I want to get my hands dirty and play around with my G1. Even though I had my G1 for nearly a year, I never went ahead and installed any custom ROMs on the thing fearing that I'd somehow brick the phone or mess it up in some way, so I stuck with the official Donut update (it's been hard using Android 1.x while everyone has been using >2.x for the past year or so).
Anyway, I've wiped the G1 back to factory settings and then downgraded it to RC29 (using this guide) so I could activate it over WiFi (I don't have an active SIM in the phone). So right now, I'm on stock Android 1.0.
I think I want to try a Sense ROM on my G1 (Sense is my favorite custom Android UI and I think it looks pretty darned good, too). Are there any decent Sense ROMs for the G1 that are fast and stable? Preferably, I'd like them to be based on Android 2.0 or higher for better app compatibility (and maybe multi-touch).
I won't be using the G1 as a phone (or at least I don't plan to). I intend on using it mainly to browse the internet over WiFi.
Since I've never done any rooting or custom ROM installations on my phone, I'm a bit of a noob at the entire rooting/flashing process. Are there any special precautions that I'd need to take on a phone running stock Android 1.0?
Thanks.

hey,
here's a good sense rom:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116154 it's android 2.1 Eclair.
to flash that rom, your going to have to root and upgrade your radio/spl here's a good guide for that:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098899
Just follow that guide and you should be good.

and your also going to have to partiton your sd card with swap and ext 4 partitions so just follow my instructions:
Ok, so heres what your going to do.
We are going to partition through recovery:
boot into recovery
go to the partition sd card option
click partition sd card
use these sizes:ext 2: 512 mb, linux swap : 96mb, and the rest is for the fat 32 partition
then once that is done, click ; SD:ext2 to ext3 :: Convert ext2 to ext3
then once that is done, click : SD:ext3 to ext4 :: Convert ext3 to ext4
and u now have ext 4!
and there ur done.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
these are instructions for amon ra recovery so make sure u have that recovery when doing these instructions
Good luck and have fun flashing!

Thanks...
Before I do anything, should I upgrade to Android 1.5 or 1.6 or will it be easier for me to do this process on 1.0/RC29 (which I believe can be easily rooted).

Upgrade to android 1.5 it'll make things easier.
Sent from my Gingerbread on Dream using XDA App

yeah i believe you need 1.5 to gain root access on device
@maximo thanks for reccomending my ROM & rooting guide
@beanboy if you have any further questions maximo and myself are usually available so dont be shy to ask questions!!! there is nooooo stupid question out there when it comes to rooting your device! nobody wants a brick in there pocket

Easiest way to root would be upgrade to 1.6
Run universal androot
Install rom manager and flash recovery of choice through there.
Then you should upgrade to the 0013d spl and 27.08 it 28.25 radio.
Then flash rom.
(For sense I recommend senselx. (Yes I'm recommending a rom I kinda helped develop )
Otherwise I recommend ezgingerbread.)

I got 1.5 installed, but when I try to update to 1.6 from the SD card, I get this error:
http://i.imgur.com/NuEvT.jpg
I guess I'll have to wait for the OTA update?

I think ldrifta's guide is for 1.5
I've never used 1.5 and I only used 1.6 long enough to root and flash cm.
Universal androot might work on 1.5. Try it and see what happens. If it works then find a flash_image binary and a recovery image and flash it manually
Manual flash instructions via adb:
adb push flash_image /data/local
adb push recovery.img /sdcard
adb shell
$ su
# chmod +x /data/local/flash_image
# /data/local/flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
Flashing from the phone works the same way, just with everything run in a terminal and changed appropriately
Or if you have an eng spl you can use fastboot and 3 commands to get the latest radio and spl and custom recovery. Look for ezterry's 14mb ram thread

I think something is up with my G1's hardware. Before I completely wiped everything, I had been having problems with the SD card not being detected most of the time. I tried different cards, and none of them seemed to improve the situation. So, I followed ldrifta's guide since I was already on Android 1.5. I was got through step 1 (installing OI File Manager, installing flashrec from the SD card, and then flashed the backup recovery. I rebooted into recovery mode (I guess it was just the new recovery that I had just flashed). I then wiped the device and when I went to flash the .zip file, it wouldn't let me do so, giving some errors about not being able to read the SD card or something. So I rebooted back into normal Android 1.5 (I think) and now I'm stuck not being able to activate the phone because there's no data. I guess I'll have to go back to RC29 to reactivate. This is beginning to seem like way too much trouble. Ugh.

I had issue with class 2 sdcards in my device. They randomly wouldn't work. Maybe you are having the same problem. Try a class 4 or faster card.
Or if you got to the point of having an eng spl, the only thing the sdcard is needed for us flashing roms. How far did you get into ldrifta's guide?

I got through step 1 and had just started step 2 where I went to wipe the device. The installing update .zip didn't seem to work. I went ahead and reflashed back to RC29 and now I'm back with Android 1.0.
I've tried two SD cards: A 1 GB Transcend (no class because it's not an SDHC card) and two different 4 GB SanDisks (each class 2).

Try to follow his guide up to getting an eng spl if you don't already have one. If you have one then flash the new radio and spl and a recovery via fastboot. Then try to get a class 4 sdcard and see if it helps

I assume I still have the default SPL installed. I don't think I was able to flash any other SPLs. I'll go through and try to upgrade Android again to 1.5 or 1.6. And speaking of that, do I need to install 1.5 before installing 1.6? I see that the .zip for 1.5 is much bigger than 1.6's. Are the updates incremental, meaning I have to have 1.5 installed first and then upgrade to 1.6?

Okay, I got 1.6 installed. I installed 1.5 CRB43, and then 1.5 CRC1, and finally 1.6 DRC83. Apparently you can't update directly from CRB43 to DRC83. I guess I'm now set to start rooting, flashing recoveries, flashing radios, and installing custom ROMs...

I'd suggest Ginger Yoshi 1.2.1

I'm still a bit confused on the process that I'd follow, however. I see guides that say that I need to have a certain radio, installed, a certain recovery, etc. I'm still not exactly sure of what I need or what I need to do it. I know that I can't just flash a custom ROM from the stock recovery and expect it to work. For example, how do I check my radio version and recovery (I think I have the stock recovery)?

Return Legend to stock OS [SOLVED]

Hi guys,
I've tried many ways to fix and hope that some light could be shed from you
- Trying to get back to stock build after downgrading to 1.31 via this process wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Legend:_Full_Update_Guide
- The ‘rooting tools’ in step 2 of 2nd section were not available anywhere so tried other avenues to root
- None successful
- After lots of playing around – I decided to try and get back to latest stock build
- Ran the uncracking.bat file which was installed during the Cyanogenmod process (which I hoped would restore things)
- Not successful
- I’m thinking that maybe the adb shell command from the Cyanogenmod process may have caused some issue: /data/local/flash_image misc /data/local/misc1-2.img
- Trying the HTC OTA system update (from Android 2.1 to 2.2) fails while trying to update and goes into the recovery screen (red triangle with exclamation mark, black background) <<<<<<<<<
- Then, when pushing vol up and power the following error is shown:-
----> E:Error in /sdcard/download/OTA_Legend_Froyo_S_HTC_WWE_3.15.405.3-2.05.405.2_P_release_1603576x6ndkkwfpxcjvla.zip (Status 7) Installation aborted.
Any help would be greatly appreciated..
Doing a general factory reset does not seem to help.
I do not need to keep any apps or data, a complete wipe so I can start afresh would be great if possible!
Thanks

I tried to return to stock rom by running the wwe rom from shipped-roms only got the error 155. Then extracted the rom.zip from the exe and flash that no go, couldn't work out a way to do it successfully.

Cool.. It doesn't have to be stock. All I need is 2.2 or 2.3 (I was trying for cyanogenmod 7.2). At the moment it's stuck on a buggy 2.1!
I'm not sure of the current state, as I said I think going half way through the cyanogenmod kinda of changed something important ( eg. /data/local/flash_image misc /data/local/misc1-2.img via ADB).
Do you know of any way I could make either of these OSs work, with the minimum of hassle?

1st thing 1st, unlock your bootloader.
2ndly, once unlocked, flash cwm.
3rd, download any ROM you want (lets pick cm 7.2 for starting point since you said no need for stock ROM) then put into your sd card.
Lastly, boot into cwm. Wipe all (data, cache, dalvik cache) then Flash(install) ROM.
Thats it (assuming your device is not usb bricked or hard bricked and you do all the steps correctly).
How?
To unlock, go to htc web site or google "unlock bootloader+htc dev"
Flash cwm? Go to dev section, theres a thread of cwm, follow "s-off" method (of course after unlocking your BL.
Boot into cwm? Shut down/turn off your phone. Once it off, press power button and volume down at the same time, hold it fow few moment before release it.
Once in cwm, install from sd card (you will know once you in it)
Then? Enjoy ur legend and flash any ROM once you got bored with cm7!

No, you dont need htc sync. i've never installed htc sync either. you only need the driver (which is logically will be installed along with htc sync but also can be installed separately and it is needed so that your device will be recognized when you boot it into fastboot mode) and no, you no need to upgrade ROM, you only need to upgrade your bootloader (that HBOOT 1.00) and it is not updated through OTA.
Seriously, it took me only 2 hours (including downloading and installing SDK, driver, waiting for unlock file from htc etc) last time i did it and i have done it twice which 2nd time (because i had usb soft brick) is much more shorter as i saved the unlock file and it seems can be reused. What takes longer for me at that time is to understand the whole process, reading and researching through multiple sites but now you have a guide, so all you have to do is to read the instructions carefully. Once you unlock your bootloader and flash cwm, everything will be super easy (assuming your device doesn't have any defects from the beginning.)

Ok, thanks very much feed3. Will try this again based your info and the mini guide I've just written myself.
But before I go ahead, I'd rather not touch it than to make it unusable.

in short, hard bricked means your phone is totally unuseable, usually because of hardware defects but also might be cause by flashing wrong ROM, for example flashing ROM that actually not built for your device. Usually, you cannot do anything with it, cannot enter fastboot, recovery etc. Soft brick is repairable, you still can boot to recovery or even to the OS. Might be caused by some partition corruption (in the case of usb bricked, it is /misc partition).
If you use htc dev path to unlock your bootloader, no need for gold card. Thats for sure.
If your phone is usb soft bricked (among the symptoms are you will be able to boot into the OS ONLY if your phone are pluged in into usb, and/or adb not working at all) then google or search in xda for "htc legend+usb brick" and fix it. I'm pretty sure only then you can update your HBOOT and therefore unlock your bootloader via htc dev.
Once done, go to HERE and flash cwm using s-off method (dont care about your s-on that you see in your bootloader, the "UNLOCKED" word in it is more important)

In response:-
Thanks for the clarification.
- when using the process here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1498298&page=7 - and trying to get the bootloader to run the LEGEIMG.zip file, it flashes up stating "no image or wrong image!", it runs too fast to read it exactly.
- then looking at the same error this guy was getting at (see the 'EDIT: It seems the LEGEIMG' post onwards) http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1657826 - they have the same Vodfone Legend as me, a gold card had to be used to do the above update process (which should update HBOOT).
- this is the only HBOOT update process I've seen, but isn't clear as they look like they're on 2.2 and HBOOT 1.01.

EXACTLY the same error message that you got, HERE and the op solve it.
Btw, during unlocking my bootloader, i've never encounter (or did i forget already??) to requiring this zip file. Isn't bootloader RUU from HTCdev is all we need? I think thats the only file i have to get (apart from the unlock bin file of course) if my memory doesn't cheat me..

Sure - but as the guy mentions formatting to FAT32, that's usually associated with goldcard creation right.
I've ran the bootloader RUU from HTC Dev a few times, and it always says that the ROM (HBOOT, build(?)) needs updating. Thus trying the aforementioned process (post 62 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1498298&page=7) to try and get the Rom (HBOOT) updated, which didn't work, which then loops back round to dealing with the zip file read error.

I'm getting more confuse here. I've never use goldcard as i reluctant to "sacrifice" my one and only card but here i am with unlocked bootloader. The RUU file is the one that will update your bootloader. Read instructions at htc dev carefully.. good luck..

Hello,
take the recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-legend.zip , put it on your SD-card and rename it to update.zip. Then use th S-ON-method from here and you will have no problem.

so there is no way to return the legend back to stock rom after all ?

after boot to android welcome screen, the screen fade to black

hi,
i try to figure why , buy when i start the device he boot regular to adnroid but after 3 sec the screen fade to black and not responding.
the device worked good.
i decide to back to wm 6.5 and then all this mess start.
use hspl 2.08 , radio 2.15.50.14 , leo t8585 , magldr 1.13 .
any idea?
thanks.

Need more info ...
What ROM were you using?
What was the last thing you had done before this problem started?
Are you on NativeSD, SD or NAND? if NAND, which recovery?
We can't help you if you don't help us help you.

thanks for your help.
last thing i did is downloaded wm stock : RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship
but after installed this stock , phone was stuck on htc white screen with some letters in red in the left corner.
after i saw that i cant install this wm so i tried to back to the old nanndroid.
installed hspl 2.08
magldr 1.13
recovery 150M
clockwork mode 3.0.0.5
with this i installed once :
typhoon rom and hyperdroid
after that i used recovery with 400M and coredroid rom.
maybe its importent to tell that in the recovery and in the boot animation and pics there is no problam.
same same with all this
thanks again.

I wonder why people flash back to stock, and when they get problems they flash back to android.
Okay, use the HD2 Toolkit (google it) to repartition your NAND and install a later recovery. Choose a bigger partition than 150, like say 180. After that, install Typhoon or Hyperdroid and see if it works.
I am telling you this because I can't see anything wrong in your steps.

I hope that 150 MB for recovery is wrong! Your recovery partition should only be 7-10 MB!
Further you said 400 MB - is that the system partition? Are you planning to use DataOnEXT?
Make sure you set partition sizes correctly for the ROM being installed. If you have the space make the system partition 20-100 MB larger than minimum recommended in case you have bad blocks.
Hanging at boot animation can be a sign of insufficient free space in system or data partition or corrupt binaries.
This is one of the few times I might recommend a Task 29 to start clean.

mayb this will help you to help me

I think you're confusing the /system partition and the recovery partition. You should change the /system partition to whatever is needed by the ROM but leave the recovery partition the same. The easiest thing to do is follow what both of the above posts say and flash a slightly larger than needed partition to account for any bad blocks by using the HD2 toolkit.
If you want to flash back to WinMo then just flash the Stock RUU from the bootloader. You shouldn't need HSPL to do this (AFAIK) but I'd flash HSPL2.08 just in case. As Marvlesz said, I also don't see anything wrong with your steps. If that doesn't work, try flashing a stock ROM from the SD card (google it).

He's probably referring to the old recovery packages. The 150mb, 250mb and 400mb. Hence the old recovery version(?)

Yeah I think ny_limited is pointing out the fact that he said 'recovery partition' when he meant 'system partition'. The old recovery version shouldn't matter, I still use the old packages and edit the flash.cfg and all ROMs I try work fine for me.

Depending on what you have used (HSPL 2 or 4) make sure you are set on either 1.66.000 SPL (HSPL2 file) or 2.08.000 (HSPL4 file).
Make sure you have the original Stock ROM/SPL for your appropriate HD2 - there probably are others but these are the ones I can find quickly at the moment:
T-Mobile Stock ROM/SPL
ELL HTC HD2 Stock ROM/SPL
French HTC HD2 Stock ROM/SPL
NLD HTC HD2 Stock ROM/SPL​
Extract the .zip file the ROM comes in (if it comes in one).
Plug your phone in via USB.
Sync it with ActiveSync or Windows Device Center 6.1 and wait for it to finish.
Double click the .exe file inside the folder we extracted earlier.
Follow the prompts and wait for it to finish flashing.
Once it is done, click ok, close the program, and reboot the phone.
If all goes well that should bring you back to Windows Mobile...

Any ROM is flashed through the "treecolor bootloader", and if you can't flash your original WinMo through SD, there might be a "big" problem.

Explain further, what do you mean byt "android stuck when it finish loading system"? You mean you can see the setup wizard/lock screen but then your screen becomes unresponsive? Or you get bootloops? Or Everything force closes? What is "stuck" exactly?

Did you REALLY try nativeSD or you're just adding it to your thread without knowing what it is? Because NativeSD should have worked unless your device has a hardware issue or your setup was incorrect
You don't need HSPL to flash windows mobile, and MAGLDR doesn't work on other than 2.08.HSPL, so why flash 3.03 and 1.66? Just flash the 2.08 and stick to it.

Not necessarily, but if it's not, then you must be doing something wrong you're not telling us about .

You can try this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633243
Even though you don't have fatal hit, you can't flash anything (as you say)
I still can't understand how you can flash MAGLDR, CWM and WP7 yet you can't install Windows Mobile.
Are you sure that everything installs successfully?
