[Q] Upgrade from Hboot 1.23 to Hboot 1.28

So, here is my question:
If I want to upgrade my Hboot, I need to flash stock (ICS) RUU first and then flash new firmware. I did this when I upgraded to 1.23. But now when I need to upgrade to 1.28 It says "relocked" and below "security warning". Only thing that helped me before was flashing stock RUU (ICS). But now I can not flash ICS RUU. Is there anything I can do except waiting stock JB stock RUU? Like, will it help if I flash stock recovery? Will it remove "security warnig" and boot into costum ROM?
I don't know how clear I explained my problem but I hope you get it
Thanks in advance!

First lock your bootloader , then In fastboot type fastboot oem rebootRUU, that will put you in ruu mode. Then flash the new firmware. Then fastboot reboot-bootloader, then unlock your bootloader again

there is a very detailed guide in the development thread, don't ask these things 1000 times... use search and flash the new firmware following the guide....

I have been searching all day but didn't find anything. I guess you didn't even read what I wrote. So please stop complaining, if there was somewhere the post that would help me, well, I couldn't find it. So get over it, that sometimes people post a new thread that has already been posted, this is a huge web site and sometimes it's not easy to find what exactly you need.

Thanks

thank you for your answer, and for not suing me for my post. I'll give it a try, I hope it will work

this is the guide man, it was in the first post.... you have to follow this guide to update your HBOOT, no need to flash a RUU....
this guide is taken from Shnizlon:
1. Download the ROM and place it on your virtual SD card.
2. Relock your bootloader via HTCDev.
3. Go into fastboot mode and type 'fastboot oem rebootRUU'.
4. Flash new firmware using this commend: 'fastboot flash zip PJ46IMG.zip' or using Y cable.
4a.On first time running the commend you will see FAILED, don't panic and just run the commend again.
5. Reunlock your bootloader via HTCDev.
6. Flash custom recovery using this commend: 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'.
7. Download boot.img and flash it using this commend: ‘fastboot flash boot boot.img’.
8. Use 'fastboot erase cache' to avoid boot issues.
9. Go into recovery and install the ROM.
10. Reboot your device and enjoy from JB!

You can't install the JB ota just like that, tell.me what hboot you are on. I think you have to go to stock ics and from there update the hboot with the official ota from HTC ?

Thanks for this info

2. Boot device
3. From command prompt enter: -adb reboot oem-78
4. Flash firmware: - fastboot flash zip nameoffirmwarefile.zip

This is to upgrade the hboot to be able to run a JB rom......this is not for the JB ota
If you want the official JB ota you can go back to stock 100&
Stock rom
Stock kernel
Stock recovery
Or you can run the right RUU
If you want to upgrade the hboot unofficial then use a tool if your CID is in the list of compatible hboots

After step 1 to 7 (to prpare and update hboot) then step 8 on this shuld be to install JB or have I misunderstand?
I am on HTC_Europe_2.17.401.2-1.29.401.12_release_274955b7 and tryed to update but stuck at Beats audio boot image because I not upgraded hboot I think (flashed boot.img only).

Step 1 to 4 is to upgrade the hboot the unofficial way
Step 5 is to open the bootloader so you can flash the custom recovery (cwm 5.4.8.0) back to enable you to flash custom roms
Step 6 is flash the custom recovery like above
Step 7 is to flash the kernel of the new JB custom rom you want to flash
Step 8 is to flash the rom.zip in the custom recovery you flashed in step 6
But what are you trying to do, go back to stock or flash the hboot unofficial ? I think we are misunderstanding something here

Oke i understand that, but do you want to do it official by your carrier/HTC or do you want to do it the unofficial way
I say run the RUU with the bootloader RELOCKED and wait for the official update

Do it official by carrier/HTC

RUU is not out yet so the unofficial way then (Have downloaded OTA)

Do you have the ruu ? Otherwise you can download is it here
http://www.htcruu.com/?dir=Endeavor
Put the phone in fastboot USB mode and relock the bootloader restart the bootloader and leave it in bootloader fastboot USB mode then start the ruu.exe from pc with admin rights and it flashes the phone back to stock.
Before doing this backup all you need from the sdcard because everything might be gone after doing this !

Will it work to update OTA directly (without run RUU first) if I lock boot loader, flash boot.img and hboot.img first?

No
Didn't you make a nandroid backup of the old original rom ?
You have to flash the ota coming from a full 100% stock 2.17 based software phone !

Do you know what more I need to do to get it working that way?

Do this command with the phone in fastboot USB mode
Fastboot getvar version-main
And post result here please

[Q] rerooting after OTA update, cdma htc one v

Hi,
I need help. I did an ota update from htc to improve battery performance on my rooted phone. Now the phone is not rooted anymore. I'm still on stock ics rom, how do I reroot the phone again? Do I just follow the same procedures when I rooted it the first time? Thanks in advance for any help.

Performing the OTA update will cause boot loops with most of the custom roms such as CM10 and AOKP. To successfully run a custom rom you should revert to an older RUU then reroot the phone and choose the custom rom of your choice. Here is a link to the older RUU you need to be able to run most of the custom roms http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2094373

if you have relocked the bootloader,u have to unlock it again.for this,place the Unlock_code.bin file u received from htc for unlocking ur bootloader the first time in the fastboot folder.(or the platform-tools folder,whichever u have).then boot into bootloader and go to fastboot.then connect phone to pc.then just flash the token using-
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
select yes on ur screen,ur bootloader is now unlocked.
now flash a custom recovery by placing the recovery_name.img in the fastboot/platform-tools folder and flash it using-
fastboot flash recovery recovery_name.img
once recovery is flashed,flash this zip in recovery-

I'm still on the ROM the phone came with. I did not install any custom ROM after I rooted it first time. Do I reroot by doing the same procedures like I did the first time? i.e. unlock bootloader through HTC dev and use primo superboot to root.

Can't boot in recovery or ROM

Hey
I was following this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525100
And everything worked well untill the part I had to boot into recovery mode.
I couldn't get into it and decided to skip that part and just flash the boot.img from the ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778202
I flashed everything succesful without any errors but now my phone won't boot, it just gives me a black screen and can't get into recovery.
My bootloader is unlocked and I can still get into it.
I was thinking about flashing the stock RUU or another ROM, but is this possible?
Now I can't use my desire hd .. need some help with it.
EDIT:
I'm S-ON and unlocked bootloader.
I just tried to flash CWM and it flashed succesfully but still couldn't boot into recovery..

That tutorial is for the Desire S. What RUU did you use?

First I unlocked the bootloader.
Then I moved the ROM's zip file to the SD card.
I flashed the 4EXT Recovery after that.
I couldn't boot into recovery so I flashed the ROM's boot.img
Then I couldn't boot my phone in normal mode
After that I flashed CWM but it also didn't work..
Then I used fastboot erase cache and after that I tried fastboot oem rebootRUU
that's all I did untill now

What did you have on your phone to begin with, stock? What ROM zip did you get the boot.img from? How did you flash recovery? Which image?

I had stock rom on my phone, didn't make a backup.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2335496 is the rom I tried to put on my phone, that is where the boot.img is from.
And I flashed recovery with
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
btw, i dont have a file PD98IMG
EDIT:
I tried booting into recovery with the command fastboot boot recovery.img
but it is stuck on the HTC screen

OK, you've flashed a JB AOSP boot.img on a Froyo/GB Sense ROM. No wonder it's not booting. Again, where did you get the recovery image from? You need to flash a working recovery from fastboot (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img), flash the ROM from recovery, and flash the matching boot.img from fastboot (fastboot flash boot boot.img).

Recoveries are device specific. http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager. ROMs are all flashed the same way if you are S-On with an unlocked bootloader.

Flashed recovery as boot.img

Hello everyone,
After having unlocked the boot loader I flashed via fast boot TWRP. The only problem is that I flashed "fastboot flash BOOT recovery.img" instead of RECOVERY... I wasn't paying enough attention...
The phone still boots but it goes straight to recovery. What can I do? Fast boot still recognizes it. I was thinking of extracting the boot.img file from a sense based rom like android revolution HD for the m8 or putting the whole rom android revolution HD on an sd card and flashing via recovery. In other threads users had already flashed a custom rom so they could flash the boot.img extracting it from that but I don't know since I still had the stock unlocked rom.
Would one of these solutions solve the problem?

u can try fastboot flash boot whateverbootloader.img otherwise try fastboot rebootRUU and try flashing hboot from within a ruu zip or wait for HTC to release official RUU

I'll try flashing a boot.img, the other solution is beyond my current skills...

Just extract the boot.img from the ROM you were using. If stock, download one of the stock Roms and then extract the boot.IMG from it and then
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Obviously the boot.img will need to be in your fastboot/adb folder.

What... He just needs to flash a kernel, why potentially cause someone to brick their device by flashing a hboot which wouldn't even solve the issue?

where did you get the boot.img file ? care to share it I am stuck too. My phones is from Rogers
