Hboot version

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 ?
Thanks in advance for your help

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.

But I do need to upgrade to 1.28, right ?

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 but you need to repack the kernel to get it working

Edit: didn't realise its no-Sense Rom

Yes, it's a No-Sense rom.. So i don't need to update the HBoot? And i just can flash the rom and the boot.img?

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)

ok

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 ?

need help to update hboot 0.43 for jb

hello,
i need to upgrade my 0.43.0000 hboot in order to install JB.
my stock is 2.17.401.2 and i have HTC_044.
i tried to reload 2.17.401.2 RUU but it fail to load it (error 155).

Well there's something wrong there because your hboot does not match your "stock". Run:
fastboot getvar version-main

Hi , just follow this guide =)
say thanks if i helped you

It's because you're on a custom ROM, your actual version is 1.26

what i have to do\upload in order to upgrade the hboot

You could install this, which would wipe your phone:
http://htcruu.com/Endeavor/RUU_ENDE...Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_278245_signed.exe
But that won't get you a JB hboot.
Or you could go to the thread with JB firmwares in it and download an updated firmware, if your CID is supported, which I think it is. I thought there was a 3.14.707 RUU, but couldn't see it on htcruu.

Software version is 3.14.206.27

Download the 2.17.206 nandroid from the nandroid backup collection in the general thread. Restore it with Its boot.img and after that flash back the stock recovery
http://db.tt/U5CK4noo
Then you can update officially again !
I prefer this method because you dont have to relock and unlock the bootloader, this way you can keep it unlocked. Less chances of problems !!!
And if you are already on a JB hboot this method with a lower version nandroid works ..... The software and hboot is getting fooled
The software gets updated while the hboot stays at for example 1.39

[Q] Return to original rom and still not get OTA update

hi guys
im new in HTC ONE X-unbrande
i have CID HTC__J15
2.17.401.2 ver
when i buy the phone i have viper rom so i flash and wipe it and go back to the original rom
im install the:
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.17.401.2_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed.exe
now i have stock HOX and it work great , but i dont get the OTA JB
is it ok or i miss something,
thx alot guys

Did you check manually for updates ?

yes but still nothing,
it say that "my phone is up to date and no new update"

Keep trying from time to time....it should pop up eventually

do any one know when i need to see it... or i need to do somthing else

If you used the ruu successful, then the only way is to check manually for the update

can i download OTA file and Install it manually,
and if i do what file i need to look for?

Look for a OTA RUU file, probably wont find it because HTC has been waving around with lawsuits to people who host or distribute those files .....

i read here that i need to update my Hboot to get OTA JB ... is it right
i have 1.12.0000
and how i do it and what number i need to look for ... thx you all

You have run the ruu , the phone is full stock on android 4.0.4 sense 4.1.....to obtain the JB update you must be able to update the official way. Settings - info - softwareupdates......that will bring you to the JB hboot and a stock JB rom. Can't say much more about it

im trying over a mounth to get the JB but still nothing,
im sure that i miss somthing that not bring me the OTA JB.
i read here that people with Hboot 1.12.0000 not get the OTA JB and after they update it the get it... maybe im wrong i dont know

Have a look to see if your ota is here, see 2nd post for install instructions
If you ota is not in the first post read all the comments as it may be in one of those.

And update the hboot manually
Your software should be lifted to **.415.** you can't use the 3.14.401 ruu's because your cid is not listed in that ruu !
You need an ota or a ruu with **.4!5.** number in it

Hboot 1.39 on VODAP001

Hello,
In firmware topic I found hboot 1.36 for cidnum: VODAP001, but I want to flash 1.39.
If I get hboot 1.39 for other cidnum and change android-info.txt to mach my device is it going to work or it will brick it?

Wont work ! And why do you want 1.39 ? All is working fine on 1.36

After flashing Sense 5 all sensors stop working, except proxymity.
RUU do not help, calibrating in safe mode also, lived the phone to completely disscharge also.
Flashing any custom rom do not help.

You can only reflash the 1.36 hboot/ruu....if it's not working on stock there is nothing you can do. Software won't fix it then...

I am using firmware from this link also, but I get error for bootloader and can't finish the install.
It is Relocked.

You can only flash a firmware that is ment for your phone not a different one. If the firmware fails the first time reflash it directly again.
Did you reboot to RUU mode before flashing the firmware.zip ?
And after that you have to reinstall a rom
