I've been out of the loop for a little while so sorry for the noob question. A few weeks ago when the pri upgrade was made clear, I was able to successfully upgrade to 1.40. Now my question is, is there a way to upgrade the hboot above 0.76 easily and still have nand unlocked? Also are there any pros and cons to what version hboot one has?
Why do you want to change your Eng bootloader for. The .76 version is just fine.

I wasnt sure if there are any pros to the newest one. I know my current 76 is fine but I'm the type that thinks the latest is what we should have, lol.
From a lot of research I have done on here, some people have problems flashing roms like cm6 because of their newer bootloader. In my opinion. 76 is the best to have. Just a thought.

The .76 is a hot commodity for the new rooted ones...

Is there a way to backup the hboot version on the phone before trying an upgrade? Just in case the new one has issues.

What are you using to root, Unrevoked?
Is it possible to update your hboot without being rooted? I'd think not but I don't really know.

I don't think so due to S-ON.
HBOOT may have been updated when the official 2.2 Froyo came out via the OTA, but since I was running 2.2 before that and updated HBOOT also, I am not 100% sure with that.

I am finally ready to root. I want to root for one purpose only......wifi hotspot. I know it has risk, but I'm eligible for an upgrade so worst case scenario.....I'll upgrade. I really don't want to, though.
Soo......I really don't want to try this if the risk is too great for bricking. But if the risk is minimal, then could someone tell me the best step by step guide out there? I'm not that savvy but follow directions well.
I have the very first EVO 4g that came out on June 4, 2010. I have upgraded to 2.3.5 ota. Baseband version 2.15.00.12.19, kennel version 2.6.35.10
Build number 4.67.651.3 XL239674 with software number 4.67.651.3. PRI version 2.33_003, PRL version 60687
Imho its hard to brick your evo and if all you want to do is use it for tether I wouldnt bother with the s-off process untill u get more advance in rooting..here's an awesome guide by captian_throwback make sure u think him

Bricking is actually difficult to do unless your screwing around with your system lol. Its actually quite simple. After you root, you download a ROM(Its basically a UI and how the phone works) and then you Flash it(install it). Youl have a lot of terms to learn lol
I finally rooted mine today for the first time with 2.3.5 and h-boot 2.18 and I used HTC Dev to unlock the bootloader and I must say that it was a pain in the butt. I got it unlocked and tried using the PC36IMG.ZIP to install a Amon RA Recovery and it kept telling me that the main version is newer or something like that. I ended up having to use fastboot to flash the recovery image. Then after installing recovery I had to use the option in recovery to install superuser (really glad that was there)
Then after all that I found the thread using revolutionary plus to root h-boot 2.18 which I'm sure would have made it a lot easier.
I too just wanted root for one reason, to remove bloatware
I have a evo 4g 2.3.5 I wont to root to flash customs roms and thether and overclock can someone help me with the best method thr S-on S-off confuses me

You should first check your bootloader to see which root method you need.
I have 2.18

Is there a 2.18 base band ruu out there? Everything I see is 2.15 or lower. And for some reason I cant search the forums anymore so I cant seem to find what I am looking for

There is no 2.18 baseband for the Supersonic.
Sorry meant HBoot.
Why would you want to upgrade hboot?
It makes it harder to obtain s-off

^This.
It does exist, though. It's very close, even.
The reason why I want it is because of flashing back to stock. If you unlock using the htc dev site you are pretty much locked into 2.18. And is the reason why I am looking for a stock ruu with hboot of 2.18.
On a side note I might have another way around my problem. Anyone have the stock recovery image that can be flashed?
Okay, so this is my first thread and I wanted to know whats the difference between the hboot versions. I've seen people guides having to do with hboot 2.18, but my evo is on version 6.16.1002 with revolutionary and s-off. So, I would like to know what are the differences and the advantages of being on 2.18.
There's really no difference except the 6.16 hboot is the one revolutionary sets and 2.18 is the latest hboot. And no, there is no need to change it to 2.18

Thanks, also I don't want to make a new thread but what rom should I use for my evo? I've been flash quite often but I can't seem to find a good rom for it?
I can't recommend a rom, because it starts dev wars etc. but I can give you this helpful list.

Im currently in the process of rooting my android HTC EVO 4g from sprint. Its 2.3.5 and baseband version 2.15.00.12.19
There are a lot of methods to root, and they are daunting and sometimes overwhelming, I found a
HBOOT 2.18.0001 is that compatible? Right now im trying to unlock my phone using HTCdev. Well anyways, any advice?

Look up unrevoked and use the one that says "unrevoked forever", then verify that your radio version is listed on there and get root using that

That's not going to work without becoming complicated. Unrevoked-forever only works on the radios that came with either Froyo or Eclair (It was patched when Gingerbread was released), which means that the whole operating system would have to be downgraded because the phone is not S-OFF to flash radios. There is no tool to S-OFF Hboot 2.18 directly.
