[Q] Flashing new ROM on my Rooted Device -HBoot 0.80

My current Specs
ROM: Leedroid v1.8c
Hboot: 0.80
Radio: 32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20
Kernal: 2.6.32.15-gfc9c0527 [email protected] #1
As gingerbread ROMS are on the baking, I am planning to upgrade my ROM.
Its been a while since I did my rooting and flashing my ROM.
And with all the things i have to get right I must have forgotten a few.
Am I right in saying I will have to update both my Radio as well as the Kernel before i upgrade to another ROM as my current radio and kernel must be outdated.
If so, do i need to update just radio or kernel and in which order.
Secondly where is Hboot 0.80 standing?
I had to change my Hboot from 83 to 80 as 83 could not be rooted because of security form HTC before. I am not sure that is the case now
Can i still use 0.80 for flashing ROMS?
I can see something juicy called S-off hboot? Is it worth the hassle?
I don't mind the HTC security as long as i can flash new ROMS.
Any advice is welcome
Thank You
Edit: So sorry i thought i was in desire question section. Wrong section. Mod please move it? thank you

You just flash a ROM that takes your fancy - it'll have the kernel and everything in it. You just need to pick a radio to go with it (there will always be a recommended one in the ROM thread)

Just to clarify, I do not need to touch my Hboot ?

No u dont...

[Q] inquire about flashing rom

I get a HD from Asia market, and the detailed info as bellow:
Kernel: 2.6.32.21-g66cfb7a
firmware: 1.32.707.5
and now I am using it in Australia, but I found that the wi-fi does not work, it can not get an IP from the modem. so I want to flash a new ROM for my HD, i found a thread about Android Revolution HD . I want to know whether I can flash my phone with Android Revolution HD ?

I believe you can, only 1.72 needs to be downgraded in order to be rooted

thanks very much for your help.

That's entirely dependent on your carrier and your location; the only sure way to tell is to try each radio out, there's a link to the radio thread in the dev forum sticky.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

Everything Radio
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970809
Good results with Vision_Radio_12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03
or Vision_Radio_12.52. 60.25_26.08.04.30 works for me in the UK.

There's no "best" radio. Different people have different results, even on different sides of the same city.
Start with the latest radio made for the 2.3 ROM, and go from there and do tests in your area.

[Q] Worried HTC One X User

Hello everyone I just wanted to ask you guru's for some advice pretty please. I recently got a HTC One X on Vodafone in the UK for me and a SG3 for my wife and I am starting to seriously regret getting the One X because I have been having some issues and my wifes phone has been awesome.
The issues I have been having is the battery life being much worse than my old phone (Desire HD) also the phone getting warm/hot on the back at the top left.
Here are the details of my phone for reference:
HTC One X - White
Tegra 3 Quad Core Version
Vodafone UK Network
Android Version: 4.0.4
Htc Sense Version: 4.1
Software Version: 2.17.401.2
Htc SDK API Level: 4.23
HTC Extension Version: HTCExtension_403_1_GA_20
Kernel Version: 2.6.39.4-g090b42e, [email protected] #1, SMP PREEMPT
Baseband Version: 2.1204.135.20
Build Number: 2.17.401.2 CL89015 release-keys
Browser Version: Webkit/534.30
Has there been some fixes released at all? or is my phone buggered? I have thought about putting a custom rom onto the phone to hopefully fix it, is this the way to go? If it is what is the best ROM to pick up at the moment with the least amount of issues?
As I have never flashed a new ROM before I have a few questions about it:
•Can you backup your old stock ROM before you flash because I assume flashing a ROM voids the warranty
•If I flash a ROM like RENOVATE will it effect my abilty to take pictures/video and use Wi-Fi or vertain apps? As I have heard Radios and other stuff not working right or something.
•I guess I will have to root my phone before any flashing, is my software version rootable?
Sorry for so many questions I just don't want to seriously fluff up my phone, I think myself as a pretty advanced android user but ROMs and flashing is a bit scare because I dont want to end up with a brick for another 2 years.
Thanks in advance

We have 3 One Xs.
1-My Old (Dropped in water) (WWE)
2-My new (India)
3-My wife's (Korean)
Any of them doesnt have a heating problem
And battery life is better than my old phones (Desire s,sensation,gnex)

Have you updated your firmware yet?
I remember the earliest firmware 1.26 had a TERRIBLE overheating problem. Later releases pretty much fixed it.

It's not buggered mate, they are famous for geting hot when being pushed hard.
Battery life is questionable on stock. If you switch to a custom ROM, you'll generally see an improvement in battery life especially if you switch to a ROM like Cyanogenmod 10 which doesn't use sense.
You will lose Sense benefits like the excellent camera features AND if you flash a custom rom you assume warranty responsibility. Even if you flash a recovery rom, HTC will still know you've unlocked it.
All variants of the One X are rootable and there are excellent tutorials available depending on your needs.
I did it, and haven't looked back since. Cyanogenmod 10 in particular is incredible and feels so fast and fluid in comparison with stock builds.

Fixes released? - HTC has released updates, but in general we don't really know what their updates really fix
Buggered? - No
Custom ROM will fix your problems? - In my experience, yes!
Best ROM to fix your issues - Personally I'd suggest OrDroidX or ARHD ROMs (ICS).
Warranty? - Will void your warranty, but personally I think this doesn't matter that much as long as you're not a klutz
Yes your phone is rootable/flashable/whaever.
You'll probably be wondering whether to go with ICS ROMs (eg. OrDroidX) / JB ROMs (eg. CM10)
ICS:
+ better battery life (very significant - can reach 2 days with 5 hrs+ screen on time depending on kernel)
+ more stable
- performance wise it's enough, but not as fast as JB ROMs
JB:
+ extremely powerful performance
- not as stable
- battery life sucks (lasts me 16 hours - about 2 hrs screen on time)
ICS: I recommend OrdroidX
JB: I recommend SlimBean
Custom Kernels:
1. Bricked - amazing battery life, low performance
2. Faux - less battery life, great performance
3. Ncx - somewhere in the middle
All these are based on my experiences

looks like the latest to me man.
Anyway, much has been fixed as you're running the latest version atm. You can backup your current ROM before installing a custom one and flashing a custom ROM should only enhance features, not affect them negatively.

i do get heat issues when i game, thats about it.

Thank you very much for your advice guys I definitely grow some balls and install and try each of those recommended Roms. You guys awesome and thanks for all your replies

I only got "overheating" issues on stock rom (vodafone / The Netherlands), after two updates the Hox was not gettin really warm anymore.
On Renovate rom i never had any issues! It never gets to warm, and battery life is awesome. Normal use gives me more than two days of use!
So don't worrie and enjoy the Hox!

Which rom is best for my HTC Incredible 2

I've installed Cyanogen version 10.2.20131213-UNOFFICIAL-vivow and some others roms but my HTC still very very slow and lag. And i see in the "About phone" memory for my phone onley 572MB. What's wrong with my phone? I think HTC incredible 2 has 750MB Ram why mine only has 572MB?
My HTC boot loader info:
I've gain S-OFF with revolutionary tool
VIVO_W XB SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-6.13.1002
RADIO-1.09.01.0622
eMMC-boot
Apr 1 2011
Recovery i use 4EXT recovery touch
What do i need to do with my phone? Do i need up Hboot to Blackrose? Which Roms is stable? All i need is a stable, fast Rom with all applications work normally. Or may be i need roll back to gingerbroad?
With my best regards waiting for your advices

Please help me!!!!!!!!!

Are you using CM10 Rom on CDMA with Big Red or GSM on other carrier with unlocked Sim? Not sure what you are looking for in terms of "fast" as it is a tradeoff with stability & battery life, etc. and the design/OS is almost 3 years old.
ICS & JB Roms built attempts were experimental with varying success, and almost all developers have moved on to newer hardware & devices, and, most of the links are dead or no longer housing the downloads. AndyBone's stock is good & you can uninstall un-needed Apps easily since you are S-OFF.
GB and Sense-based Roms, including modified stock ones adopted for GSM use are your best bet for using this device going foward - with newer Apps released, you wil find support to be a challenge here on XDA unless you stick with one of the few proven Rom & stable Apps that won't upgrade to newer verisons and then FC'd on you or become sluggish.
We still used the DI2, unlocked & rooted for GSM duties, mainly for voice calling & very light browsing - no FB/Hangout or other newer Apps that's memory hungry. If and ONLY if you are using it for GSM service, do try "Android Revolution HD 5.3 - it's based on 4.0.4 and relatively stable, good battery life and not sluggish with a clean install (full wipe/reset, etc.) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2291476 - as always, backup and know what you are doing, including use of ADB and terminal commands, etc.
