Ok so i'm on HBOOT 1.12.000 and i'm CID NSTAR301 i want to try cm10 for my phone i've been reading about HBOOT and i've learned it's the phone's bootloader. So If i want to install CM9 i have to flash boot.img (kernel) Will it update my HBOOT? I don't want to update my HBOOT but should i? probably not to the latest but something in between? I'm too confused. Anyone can help me solve my doubts?
Leave your hboot alone for CM10
Flashing a boot.img will not do anything to your hboot version.
Only updating via official sources or flashing a firmware.zip will update your hboot

Try to flash downgrade from alpharev and then to flash stock hboot.
If that doesn't help, flash downgrade, then run official RUU for 2.3. After that gain root again and flash stock hboot and recovery that you want.

Well for an ruu to work, bootloader must be locked, try using theq86 bl controller tool to lock it, check the development section.

Hi guys i want to update my HBOOT and RADIO. So i had to return in my official RUU Right till here? My latest RUU file is 1.28 rom and has no OTA update . So my question is how can i get the latest RADIO and HBOOT??
No OTA? No new radio and HBOOT. It's that simple. Well, radio is possible. It's included with ROMs. HBOOT is not though, and can only be upgraded via OTA.

Hi guys just some help regarding wanting the new CM 10 rom but it won't let me flash as I have hboot 1.28 and yes I have heard some people haven't made it to work and some have. It is because I used the new Android Revolution HD 1.11 and I know that hboot 1.28 was required so anyways I wanna switch to CM 10 and previously it worked because I had hboot version 1.12. Now when I flash the boot.img given my CM 10 developers it will just keep restarting or stay in the HTC Quietly Brilliant screen. I downloaded a boot image for hboot 1.28 that was in the forums for CM 10 but still no luck. Am I missing something or what. Also a Final question if I put my phone back to the stock RUU which is given by Football will my hboot be restored to the previous version and NOT 1.28. I'm sorry I'm such a noob I haven't checked yet but don't want to waste my time doing it if it doesn't. Thanks a lot of help will be appreciated
HBoot downgrade is not possible unless you have s-off. Older RUU's won't work

I guess the new boot.img you mentioned is this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32486421&postcount=7308
That does work with CM10 and hboot 1.28. Did you erase the cache after you flashed the boot.img? fastboot erase cache

I have checked everywhere in bootloader to see if I have s-off but cant find it. Where is it?
And I believe i did erase the cache in fastboot but ill give it another whirl to see if will work.

It's unlikely that you have S-OFF, but go into the bootloader screen and the you will see either SHIP S-ON or SHIP S-OFF.
Thanks guys for your help. Man I'm such a nut. And yes fastboot erase cache worked and I have S-ON. Why is it so important for people to have S-OFF can someone explain me. :victory:

Well, for one thing you would just be able to flash the entire ROM including boot.img just by flashing the ROM .zip file from recovery. But with S-ON, recovery is not able to write the boot.img, that can only be done from the bootloader.
Also, if you have S-OFF you can downgrade your hboot. Currently there is a big to do about hboot 1.28, but if you install that and do not have S-OFF you can not go back to a lower numbered hboot.
And people don't agree with the warranty terms of HTC and unlocking, so would like to install custom ROMs and then hide that from HTC when it's convenient (warranty claim).
That's what i was looking for! Finally found it

I had the same problem. Boot.img is not being flashed correctly when you are installing your rom. I found boot.img inside the rom .zip file and just extracted it separately.

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

You can upgrade your hboot without using ruu or ota
thanks for your quick responding.
i am on HTC_____102
You can found the firmware.zip (it contains the new hboot), here
You say how to flash it?
thanks for your help, i dont know yet how to flash it, but i will search and inform myself. http://sadevil.org/blog/2012/12/23/manually-flashing-an-ota-update/

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
