[Q] 2.18 Ruu? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

[Q] hboot version

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.

[Q} Bootloader

What is the stock bootloader version for non rooted Evos? I need to take mine in and I got S-On but it won't let me flash the PC36img and it is stuck in a bootloop now.
2.15 I believe
And I believe s off is needed if you wish to flash.

It is fine to take in with 2.10 Hboot as long as you are running Froyo - just use an RUU PC36IMG file with 2.10 Hboot and you will be fine.

The 6.16 hboot is the one revolutionary sets it to. No it doesn't make any difference. And there's no need to put it back youre all good

Yea there's a whole bunch of different hboot versions. I don't know of any reason to change it, the end user doesn't use it for anything.
Keep it, change it. What ever...lol

It can and has been done, but it's kind of messy. You would need to download and flash about 4 files to get that to work, and flashing Hboots is always dangerous, especially if you are not experienced at it. There are also several commands that you can run from that Revolutionary Hboot, like re-flashing the Recovery, in case your phone soft bricks that you cannot run with that 2.15 (or 2.16) Hboot.

[Q] HBOOT differences?

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.

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.
