ALso, need to know can i flash these ROMs on any phone HBOOT version?
As long as your phone is GSM and not cdma you can flash no problem.
If your phones version is newer than what your flashing you will need a goldcard.

It really wont matter.
If hboot is newer on the ruu then it will update, but if its older I think it will bypass keeping your current one.
Just flash the ruu, it will be fine.
Also the ruu will check your phone before installation for compatibility.

SO, you mean to say that if the phone region is not compatible with ruu flashing will abort with no damage caused to phone?
Yes.
Does your phone use a sim?
I'm sure it does, and if so you'll be fine as long as you don't flash any of the us ruu
If you use a similar you'll be good.

I know this forum is for wildfire s but just wanted to know if this hboot rule is applicable to chacha and desire s also?
I would think so, but I can't say I'm 100%.
Like I said the ruu will check your phone model and software, if there were a problem the installer should let you know and not go any further

So u mean to say that if HBOOT version of file is lower than HBOOT version of phone then installler will abort without any damage to phone?
It would bypass hboot if the version on your phone is newer but it should still install the rom.
The same probably applies to the radio, if you have a newer radio hboot will skip installing radio step, and proceed to the next step.
Most important thing when flashing ruu, is have enough battery and don't remove cable while flashing eg. Make sure nobody trips on your cable or you'll.have a brick on your hands
Thanks, appreciate your help
if you have a rooted and CWM (unlocked BL) but running stock HOX
Can you still use an OTA safely?
Or do you have to reflash stock recovery?
Or also relock?
Finally I assume clear cache/dalvik?
OTA not out for me yet but asking in advance
yes you can with those files. I have done it :

I got my One X when they first came out, rooted it straight away and have been very happy. I'm running a JB AOKP ROM.
I've noticed a lot of talk about hboot versions, 1.23/1.28. My hboot is still 0.43. Am I missing anything? Does updating the hboot actually matter?
Thanks for any information

I have almost the same question : I would like to install the "Android Revolution HD 11.1" ROM and spent few days parsing the various post in the corresponding section of the forum.
The installation procedure states that to go to JB we need to have HBOOT v1.23. In addition it is indicated that :
{Do the following only if you have hboot version 0.43.
Download this ROM. You need to flash this RUU after you relock but before you flash firmware. Your hboot version will say 1.12}

Now my question :
My HOX indicates HBOOT v1.12 without any upgrade, do I need to upgrade it or not ?

If you have 1.12, there is no need to upgrade to 1.12 before upgrading to 1.28.
To upgrade to 1.28, keep following the instructions.

Yes you do. But first check if you have the right CID.

Thanks Marc199 and BenPope for you help and QUICK answers !!! :good:
Also, make sure you really do want to upgrade to 1.28 because without S-OFF you can't go back to an hboot with a lower version number.

Thanks for the warning. BTW, how do you check whether if your are S-ON or S-OFF ?
I have been able to define my HBOOT version and my CID but this info...
Is there any thread summarizing hot to get all details about the HOX ?
Thanks again.
At the top of the bootloader it says either S-OFF or S-ON
why ?
Hi,
Wat is the benefit of upgrading to a higher hboot ?

Yes(for both questions) and if anything goes wrong you can EASILY revert with a backup from your custom recovery (and flashing your old boot.img)

So the hboot version only affects sense roms?
ifsow what does hboot represend ?
because i dont get why would it be good for sense roms but not for non sense roms on the same device.
they have to update or fix some things in those different version right ?
at the start of last year a fix whas published for the bad battery life.
The fix whas supposed to add 10 to 20 % to battery life.
just now i saw a post from somebody asking how to do this fix and they told him it whas fixed in version 1.28 / 1.29
it whas not clear to me if they where refering to hboot version but i think they did.
i'm pretty confused about this, could you help me clarrify a bit ?
After experiencing sever battery drain and WiFi issues I need to go back to 4.1.1 and Sense 4+.
My phone is rooted but still on stock ROM (4.18.401.2 but with CWM recovery and SuperSU).
I know it was discussed here in the past but I have yet to find a definitive answer:
What's my best option for downgrading?
I haven't found a nandroid for my CID (HTC_102) - Can I flash an older official RUU over my stock ROM?
If so, do I need to return to stock recovery \ flash a different Hboot (I'm on Hboot 1.72) before flashing the RUU???
I don't care about losing Root - Just want my phone in working order again.
Thanks
Enahu
You can't downgrade an S-ON hox at least not with a ruu, what you can do in order to run sense 4 is to install a custom (stock like) rom that is based on the minimal software number 3.18.401.......any lower will not work because the touchpanel drivers are updated and touch won't work

^^ i also ask myself ..... why repeating me ?
Actually, I did manage to downgrade following this guide, the problem was that after booting the touchscreen didn't work, only the physical buttons. CID_032, HBoot 1.72.

So actually you didn't downgrade because it didn't work. That's why i said that downgrading doesn't work, including a minimal software number he should use (touch panel driver update issue)
Thanks for all the responses.
So, to get things straight, my best op is either flashing a 3.18.401.xx custom ROM or, if I can find one, restore a nandroid backup of 3.18.401.xx?

Yes 3.18, 3.19 or 3.20 they all work. Stock or custom
Installing 3.18, 3.19 or 3.20 (stock) is working on HBoot 1.72? If so, isn't it like a downgrade? I'm asking because I'm interested in downgrading too.

Yes that is downgrading but you can only do that with certain software numbers ! Like a 3.14 rom won't work because you cant get in the phone bcause touchscreen doesn't work.
Software from 3.17 and up have updated touch drivers so all of those will work.

That might have been the problem, since I've used 3.14 or earlier. Isn't 3.17 and up encrypted by HTC?

My M9 is currently on 3.5.0 (5.1) I was thinking of getting 4.2.1 (6.0.x) but don't want to mess up.
I've read so many threads about it, but I'm asking you guys.
What do I need to do before I update.

It's s-off. I have installed TWRP, SuperSU Pro 2.49, ViperOne M9 3.5.0.
Update firmware to 3.xx version....
Your recovery is good...
Supersu is good....but will need to be reflashed after upgrade to 4.2.1....
Unless you are on Verizon ....then no 3.xx firmware exists until VZW sends an official OTA and somebody pulls it to share..
Sprint may be waiting too...I'm not sure on that one...g

No need for reaching supersu, as the one in viper is the latest one
He just need the proper firmware for his device, flash the rom, when reboot to system select do not flash for supersu in recovery.
