This might be a simple question but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere.. why is it that some ROMS update the HBOOT version?
I'm on Telus Desire with HBOOT 0.83 w/SLCD, after reading about some ROMS saying they don't update the HBOOT, now I'm wondering which ROMS do and why cause I don't want to brick or do anything to my phone
Upgrading the HBOOT won't brick but it will mean you won't get root -- at least for now. Froyo 2.2 upgraded me to 0.92

I read in some other threads that I can brick my phone if I try to downgrade from hboot 2.10 or 2.02, is this still true or is there a fix for this now? I just want to be able to go back to the stock 1.32.651.1 rom. Will I brick my phone if I run the RUU? I have HW 0004.
Neither of those HBoots allow you to downgrade, even if you flash an RUU. In order to downgrade, read this thread.
Thanks, I read that thread and I would've posted in that thread, but it doesn't let me. Can I just flash the rooted stock rom of 1.32.651.1, will that affect the hboot?
You can, but I'm not sure why you'd want to flash something that old, especially since you have newer (004) hardware. It won't downgrade your HBoot, as 2.02 and 2.10 are basically "locked" to only upgrade, not downgrade.
My Refurb came with the 2.10 HBoot but Hardware is 002, Can I downgrade??
Ok so I have just upgraded the ROM on my HTC Desire from LeeDrOiD 2.3 to 2.4 and I have noticed on a few places mention that its possible to upgrade the HBOOT on the phone?
Is this correct or something that is not really relevant and should not be touched?
stock HBOOT got S-ON (NAND Protection by HTC).
As long as you get no problems flashing / booting new CustomROMs on your phone,
or if you dont need APPs whitch requires S-OFF, then there is no need of updating HBOOT.
Which HBOOT version do you have ? 0.93.0001 ?
Hello,
I had an hardware problem with my Desire (problem with volume "-" key), so I made an echange.
On the new one, I'm already on orange rom with android 2.2 and hboot 0.93.000001.
Before I were in hboot 0.75, I was sure that I have an Amolex Desire and not an SLCD so it happened that after making him reflash orange rom (but at this moment, I didn't exchange my phone finally), I re downgrade the hboot to re put the 0.75 for re rooting it, because I was sure that it was to 0.75 by the past.
But I read that if I have an SLCD, i've to be careful and I'm afroid of SLCD Brick as described in aanother thread?
Do you advise me to root it with the last version of unrevocked without investigate to know with downgrade to 0.75 and knowing if it's an Amolex version?
Thanks
There is NO need to downgrade.. 0.93 is rootable from unrevoked use 3.21
And I think S-LCD brick is not due to root.. but it is due to wrong RUU flash.
Someone correct me if I am wrong.

Can Hboot 0.93 be replaced with alpharev Hboots and s-off like the previous Hboots?

Yes, it can.

Hi,
I don't really know what hboot does but I have the 0.76.2000 one and was wondering where I could find the latest one for my T-Mobile G2.
I have the 26.13.04.19_M radio.
I found a thread with some hboots, but the links were all dead.
Looks like version number is cheating you again. there's no difference between hboot's except having dz hboot will allow you to flash sense based roms. also as long as you are rooted and have installed eng-hboot during your rooting process you should be fine.
Hi there,
I have rooted Desire with a Gingerbread ROM. It is still S-ON, but I would like to have it S-OFF. I've looked at Revolutionary, but it requires a stock ROM.
The last time I tried to install a stock ROM, it crashed on that warning screen (/!\). I sent it to get fixed (had some other issues as well) and received it with a stock ROM.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but discussion around here has led me to believe that RUU's come with hboot and hboot can't be downgraded. And so I figured the problem might have been that I was trying to install a RUU with a lower version hboot.
So this time I want to be sure the RUU comes with hboot 0.93, but the RUU descriptions don't mention this.
TL;DR:
I could be completely wrong, but I think I need a RUU with hboot 0.93. Anyone?
hi im using this one but you need to be unbranded or you need to use a goldcard... see bortak's guide for more info
Thanks. Worked great!
