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, 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)

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 ?

also befor you unlock boot and root it you may want to download the latest rru from htcruu for your cid which will give you latest hboot and save you the time in unlocking bootloader twice if you want to use a jellybean rom
this is the ruu for your cid

You can root and flash CM10 on your existing hboot also. but updating your hboot is recomended as with that youll be able to flash CM10 as well as the newer ROMS which are being developed on android 4.2.
here is a noob friendly tool that will help you to flash the new firmware.

[Q] Correct RUU and back to stock

Hello to all,
I have a problem with my One X because when I want to update my android the update is downloaded but not installed ( i receive an error which says that my android version isn't ok and is not safe to install this update). Anyway ....I want to install a stock version of android on my phone and i don't know how to choose the correct RUU. My CID is HTC_001 and my radio version is 1.1204.105.14. Can anyone give me a link for downloading the correct RUU and tell me the correct steps to install it?

You need the main version
Fastboot getvar version-main

Maybe the 2.17 version prior to this one because of driver conflict. Or the 3.14.401.27 ?
Seen lately that going directly to hboot 1.39 failed ....

Driver conflict?
Going to any JB RUU from ICS requires flashing the firmware I think.
The 2.17.401 should work, and OTA from there... Might be easier if a little more time consuming.

Yeah what i understood in the thread was that he was on stock 2.17 software and tried to flash to 3.14.401.31 and it didn't work, flashed the .27 ruu and it did work.....so here was a conflict of some kind. Its just a heads up if it doesn't work here. Still don't know exactly .... could also be his pc that was conflicting, but it was a little strange

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] Can i flash any RUU from other country in my HOX S-off?

The details of my phone shown in fastboot is as shown below:
ENDEAVORU XE SHIP S-OFF RL

HBOOT-0.96.0000

May 10 2012, 01:32:07
The software number is 1.29.415.11
From this details the mobile is S-OFF and has supercid. Am i right?(Sorry newbie)
I have already unlocked its bootloader and rooted it. But can i update it to jelly bean using any RUU?(as it is S-OFF)(Without using any custom roms)
From this thread-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2189048 i see that my phone is HTC Arabic with no JB updates.. ..
Can i update it using another countries' RUU? Will it be any problem?.. please help!!

Thanks a lot Mr Hofs.. .. That means i can use any RUU. But i can only see JB in asia and european RUU. There is no JB update in India. So do I need to update anything? I mean hboot or anything else before flashing RUU or will the RUU do it on its own?
I can see different software numbers of each countries' RUU.Will it be any problem?
And will the change in the radio from 1.1204.105.14 to 5.xxxxx be any problem with carriers? I am residing in India.
Thanks a lot in advance!!..

From what i have seen its no problem, you may have language problems because your native language might not be implemented. But if you have an Indian ruu you can always return to that. You are fully capable of downgrading and upgrading the hboot.
So if you install a 3.14 ruu you can also return to a 1.29 ruu
Edit : in this thread you can find all sorts of ruu's. Also the 2.17.415

Wow!! thts grt!.. ..Actually the phone has Arabic RUU with middle eastern english. I think I will flash this-RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_3.14.707.24_Ra dio_5.1204.162.29_release_296434_signed.exe
It has world wide english. Mr Hofs last question can i directly use the above RUU or do i have to go step wise? My phone is currently running android 4.03 with this RUU-
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_ARA_1.29.415.11_Radio_1. 1204.105.14_release_260742_signed.exe

Since its s-off you should be able to install it directly, im not sure if you need to relock the bootloader for s-off devices to correctly install the ruu.
At least the command to relock it is :
Fastboot oem lock
After all that you can unlock again and use a custom rom or stay on stock, whatever you choose

Yes. Nandroid backup is always recommended... But since you have a s-off device, you can run any ruu out here (upgrade + downgrade) So returning to a working os shouldn't be a problem for you
Why don't you try a few roms from the development section and settle on the one which suits you the best?! all roms are good! It's the end user who has to decide which he likes ... + rom comparison isn't allowed in xda...

Hey Arnab,
I just happened to stumble across your post. I have a similar device (Endeavor XE S-OFF with hboot 1.12) and I have been trying to get a custom 4.4 rom update on this. But have been unsuccessful so far (here's the link to my problem description and what all I have tried).
I see that your post is fairly old and I'm assuming that you were able to upgrade your HOX to JB and further. Can you pls share your experience and any tips ?
thanks,
Kunal

Hi Thant,
You mean I should flash a JB firmware or ICS ? Which one exactly ?
The problem for me is identifying which one to use (considering I'm super-cid and as mentioned by you, thankfully, that I have a test device). I have already tried a few RUUs and no success.
I just don't want to brick it. Hope you understand.
