hboot downgrade?

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.

[Q] HTC One X - Hboot update?

Sorry, if this sounds like a noobish thread.
Well, i have CID_044 and Hboot 1.12 on the International Unlocked Version of HTC One X. My question here is, when the official update (JB 4.1.1) for my CID is released, will it automatically update my Hboot as well? Coz i think JB requires a newer Hboot? Or will i have to do it manually?

Edit : and yes jb needs a higher hboot, but if you ask me my opinion according to your question ....stay on ics and wait for the official update, it will update everything automaticly .....it comes when it comes.....
Patience is a virtue !

Most probably yes , hboot is like the BIOS on a computer , so it should need a compaitable boot.img , I mean the boot.img at the newe JB Stock ROMs need a compaitable hboot to run which may be only available at newer hboots

Now, I can only reach bootloader. By the way device is unlocked. Help me please

[Q] Hboot and ROMs

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
another hboot question, i am on 1.12 and would like to upgrade, which hboot should i choose ?

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/
do all custom roms work with hboot 1.39 such as aosp, aokp, cm10.1, i dont need sense.

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

[Q] About Upgrading HBOOT After Installing Custom ROM

Hi,
First time user of an Android device. I have a branded Vodafone HTC One X that I unlocked and flashed Cyanogenmod 10 on. It works wonderful, runs really fast and is overall much better than Sense. Now that Cyanogenmod 10.1 has reached beta stage, I'm intending on trying out JB 4.2.1. In order to do that, I need to update my HBOOT past 1.28.
It is here that I am quite lost. I did a bit of reading around on xda and other forums to figure out the best method and got a lot of different and sometimes conflicting info. I think this FAQ is the most accurate to my situation although I am worried that it is out of date: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660807
If it helps, the current HBOOT version on my phone is 1.12 and the CID is VODAP021.
It seems the consensus is that I have to (from top to bottom order):
Revert back to stock Sense ROM
Revert back to stock recovery
Relock bootloader (Do I lose root when I do this?)
Run the correct RUU for my phone in order to update HBOOT
Re-unlock bootloader, re-root (if necessary), re-flash custom recovery and flash CM10.1
Are all the above steps correct?
I am aware that there is a collection of stock Nandroid backups somewhere on this forum, but for simplicity's sake can I just restore the Nandroid backup I made prior to flashing Cyanogenmod on my phone? Will restoring the backup also restore the boot.img file? Will the backup also revert my phone back to stock recovery?
Also, I looked on the RUU directory (http://www.androidfiles.org/ruu/?dir=Endeavor) and found two RUU's that match my phone's CID: 1.26.862.3 and 1.29.862.11. Which one is correct?
Sorry if I seem to be bombarding with questions. I think I get the gist of it, but I'm rather paranoid of screwing up so I just want to triple check my understanding before I do anything. If I am over-complicating things, please let me know.

Yes root is lost on lock ( only remporarily ). When you unlock with fastboot oem unlock_token.bin you get back root.
Has Vodafone released JB update for your phone? If yes , then you dont need RUU. After returning to complete stock ( even recovery ) you cant update with official OTA . This will update the hboot.

You only have to revert to full stock and stock recovery. The bootloader can stay unlocked ! :thumbup:
And yes the ota is out for him
The basic steps are :
Flash the boot.img from the nandroid backup
Full wipe in recovery (caches,data,system)
Restore the nandroid backup
Flash the stock recovery
According to your hboot 1.12 you are on 2.17 based android 4.0.4 software .....
This is your stock recovery

There was indeed an OTA for my phone which updated HBOOT to 1.36. Updated to CM10.1 with no dramas and was much simpler than I anticipated.
Thanks everyone for all the advice!

Nice ! Glad we could help !

Im a noob, but I think you have to go back to the stock sense ROM and then gete the official update to Jelly Bean. After that you will have the 1.39 HBOOT and then you can install CM10.1

BSTAR301 HBoot Downgrade

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

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.
