So, I purchased my HOX on craigslist and the hboot was already upgraded to 1.23 (it was running ARHD v15.0). I know some of the downsides to upgrading your hboot (e.g., cannot flash AOSP JB roms without a special boot.img), but now that I'm already upgraded to 1.23, can anybody see any further downsides to going ahead and upgrading further to 1.36 (I have cid HTC_0.23) so at least I can flash the JB Sense roms?

I think there is no downside, hboot 1.23 is a non official test hboot, the 1.36 is final, so it should be better.

so couple days ago i flashed jb sense rom, and i updgraded my hboot to 1.28.
now today i wanted to try paranoid android jb, and after flashing the rom i got stuck at the white htc logo screen.
So is this because of the hboot 1.28?
Cause other jb sense roms work fine
oh yeah, cm10 also doesn't work with this hboot i got now (tried cm10 nightflies)

Dude, I have exactly the same problem, except I'm on HBOOT 1.23.
Whenever I finished flashing Paranoid Android (the latest 4.1.2 one), it just gets stuck at the white HTC screen too - I don't think its because of the HBOOT 1.28 - It has to be something else.
No, it's simply because of hboot 1.23/28! ROMs built on Cyanogenmod sources, simply all nonSENSE ROMs won't work with hboot 1.23 or 1.28. Except with mdeejays kernel. With that kernel though, gps won't work!
As I understood it (someone will say if I'm wrong) the only way to go back to a custom ICS or similar ROM from upgrading to Jellybean with the new HBOOT, was if you already had a nandroid backup of it on your phone. You cannot downgrade to a ICS RUU either.
Or as already stated, you have to use mdeejay's kernel which WILL allow you to install a custom ICS ROM.

You can flash a custom ics sense Rom as normal (im on hboot 1.23 using viperx Rom with stock kernel), its just you can't use any ruus as nones been released yet with the updated hboot.

I dont think all regions supports the same HBoot to run JB..!! some regions can run JB at 1.33 also..!!
Hboots are region relative, what is your cid?

Dear, I have already upgraded it to JB. CID__621. Now, since i have been reading about hboot 1.39; i asked below questions:
1) Is it possible to upgrade hboot 1.33 to hboot 1.39?
2) If yes, then any link.
3) is 1.39 is for all previous hboots to stand at one...?
Becoz what i am getting is that with the new base i.e. ".31", i read that 1.39 hboot will perform better. Is 1.39 the same usual update from ICS to JB like 1.31,1.33,1.36 or is it the whole new base for all (1.31,1.33,1.36).
You mean HTC__621, right?
According to this thread, you are stuck at 1.33 for now.
hi all , i have a problem with my one x.
i'm trying to update to JB but every time when i change the hboot from 1.12 to greater ones - 1.28 to 1.39 the onex is stuck to boot loop.
i can revert to 1.12 due tot the fact that i have S-OFF and i can also install non sense JB - as CM10 but, i would like to install the official JBRUU or at least some other custom rooms that are with the official version.
any ideas, cause i'm out of it?

Lucky you having S-OFF. S-ON is a pain.
Have you only updated HBOOT? I think you might also need a ROM and kernel that are compatible with the newer firmware

with 1.12 i was able to successfully install CM 10, nightly builds, but as soon as i have update my Hboot no other JB sense ROM has worked.
The only way to make my phone work again was to run the Europe RUU ICS 1.20.401.1 which revert my HBOot to 1.12.
Any suggestion?
I may be wrong here, as I'm new to HTC. But doesn't being s-off, as in a super-CID mean you can use any RUU? i.e. running a jb RUU would contain the correct Hboot.
Hi everyone, two really quick n00b questions...
Do you have to upgrade Hboot from say 1.21 to 1.39 etc if you want to run a new platform (Jelly Bean) Sense ROM?
And you don't have to upgrade Hboot to get a AOSP Jelly Bean ROM?
The reason I ask is because I'm trying to figure out if Hboot is directly linked to Sense ROMs, it's because I've just read this thing saying you have to update Hboot to get JellyBean on your HOX... but I'm running CM10 on my HOX with Hboot 1.21 (I think...) lol.
With hboot 1.39 works all Sense rom and CM10.1 rom based.
For CM10 you need a special boot.img
hi there

All CM10.1 works fine, CM10 needs a special boot.img.
For upgrade your firmare:
- Relocked your bootloader
- Copy/paste the firmware in folder where you have fastboot
- Open a prompt and type: "fastboot oem rebootRUU" (you can see a black screen with a white written)
- Type: "fastboot flash zip firmware.zip", you can have an error, retype and it will work
- Type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and you can see you hboot updated
- Unlock your bootloader
- Flash a recovery
- Flash a rom

If you upgrade to 1.39, you can't downgrade because there isn't the s-off.
But if you want jelly, you have to upgrade and, however, you can use ics rom with new hboot
But not CM10, this rom need a special boot.img with new hboot
Hi, I've decided to go for the stock ROM due to a lot of problems i'm having with my HOX.
I already have Stock Boot.img, Recovery.img, but I am missing the Hboot.
According to the RUU Software my Hboot (Which I upgraded a year ago to 1.39) I need an older Hboot in order to run the RUU.
I've searched for a lot of sites and forums and don't seem to find a Hboot 0.96 (Stock) anywhere.
I'd appreciate if some has or knows where can I get it,
Thank you in advance!

you can't downgread your hboot unless you are S-OFF. Restore nandroid backup with your main version numbers or flash custom sense 5 rom close to stock like MaximusHD, ARHD or rom in my signature

Just went back to ARHD, well it seems the end of this device is near. Thank you!
I've the same problem. I'm on HBoot 1.72 and I want get back to SlimBean 4.2.2 because with that ROM my HOX runs best. If I try to install SlimBean Build 8 I get the message that only HBoot <= 1.39 is supported. Is there any way to get back on Slim 4.2.2?
I've solved my problem without downgrading HBoot or something like this. You can simply edit the updater-script from the ROM and add HBoot 1.72 as possible solution. Now I'm running Slim 4.2.2 on HBoot 1.72 without any problems.
