Does anybody know which changes the new hboot brings, and also, can someone who upgraded their firmware (hboot) check if they are still able to flash Sense 4+ roms?

What I do know is there is no need to update HBoot to install Sense 5 ROMs.

I know that too mate, but I'm interested in if there is any benificial changes in the new hboot, otherwise I wouldn't see the need to upgrade. On the other hand, if it is possible to flash older roms with the new hboot, then why not upgrade (don't try to talk about s-off exploits.. it's not gonna happen)

I found this post about hboot upgrade and doesn't seem quick stuff. At the moment there's not the necessity, so I think I will not upgrade.
However all JB ROM still working with the new hboot. If you try to upgrade let me know! :fingers-crossed:

I have used that post to update HBOOT from 1.39 to 1.72 without any problems so far. I have not tried any old ROMs but ARHD 31 works fine.

Remember to unlock again afterwards and flash a custom recovery. This way shouldn't wipe your SD card (I've never experienced it), but backup just in case.
Sincerley I'd like to not wipe all for the third time (one to flash maximus 20, another one to flash maxiumus 21). I wish to know if there are substantial differences.

I don't feel any difference at all.. if anything WiFi has gotten worse (could be placebo). I havn't done any thorough testing though. All is fine exept WiFi. The phone is cool, battery is awesome and performance is great. I'm running InsertCoin 19.8-02.
You can backup using the HTC Backup tool, which works great.. the only thing I've had to set myself upon restoring is wallpaper, everything else works like a charm.

I haven't found anything yet. WiFi seems the same (if not a little worse). It is really hard to compare since the new rom never had time to settle on the old hboot. But I think perhaps battery has improved a little along with temperatures.. again, it is really hard to tell.
My take on this is that the difference of the two hboot is really small, regardless of the big jump in numbers. Hboot 1.39 is able to run the new roms unlike what we experienced when upgrading from Android 4.0 to 4.1, where a hboot/firmware upgrade was necessary. Let me know what you guys think
The big question for me is this one:
Does the new HBOOT allow the recovery to flash boot.img as it works on the HTC ONe ?

Hi Everyone,
I have become slightly frustrated as I seem to be unable to flash the stock rom back onto my HTC One X. I have a CID of HTC__001 which seems to be perfect and I am with Orange Uk. I have downloaded the correct RUU for the specific radio I have (2.1204.135.20) and when I run the exe in windows. It starts to work and then says my USB is not connected.
Previously I have been rooted and have flashed the recovery image, which does mean I am connected via use and in fastboot mode. Not sure what is causing this issue. If anyone could provide any assistance that would be fantastic.
Thanks
Andy
Andy,
Ruus need stock recovery. Are you back on stock recovery? Also, phone must be booted up into rom and respond to adb commands such as
Adb devices
This should list your devices serial number as connected. If you see that, then try running the ruu.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
1. If you have HTC__001 then download the 2.17.401.2 RUU from here - http://d-h.st/HoB
2. Relock your bootloader!!
3. Boot the phone into fastboot and connect to the PC
4. Run the RUU
That's it, no stock recovery required
Thanks
Thanks for both of your replies. I have since managed to install the sense jelly bean roms from Insert Coin and also Maximum, realised that I did not need to install the RUU, just need to flash the boot.img. All is now great. The RUU that you posted was the one i tried but failed :s Its ok now though as now I am unable to return to ICS roms

How far does the RUU installer get? I had problems on the weekend where it got to the install shield then stopped. This was resolved by turning off norton and running as administrator.

I only get into the black screen with HTC logo:silly: I have Microsoft Security Essentials, already flashed RUU without problems, this was the 1st time. Meanwhile, flashed now with football rom, Revolution without any problems. Just wonder if when OTA will be available, if i can install it
thanks so much guys, this helped me a lot!
Help needed!
Hi guys. I'm very new to this so forgive me if I seem a bit stupid at times. I've been reading a lot and trying to learn things about the phone but I've got myself a bit stuck.
I have a HOX with the following;
*** relocked ***
CID HTC__001
Hboot 1.12.0000
radio-2.1204.135.20
Everything was stock, I unlocked and rooted. All went well, everything worked fine. Didn't install any ROM's. Installed CWM. Then JB was released so I unrooted and relocked and flashed stock recovery.
The phone now has;
Android 4.0.4
HTC Sense 4.1
Software 2.17.401.2
API 4.23
HTC Extension 403_1_GA_20
Everything works. I can boot the phone and everything works as it should. The only issue I can see is that it won't boot into recovery. I get the green arrows, press power and up volume, some errors are reported on the screen - Cannot find /cache/recovery/command and Failed to open loopdevice, no such file or directory. The phone then restarts and boots the OS.
My question is, what should I do next to be able to receive the OTA JB update? I assume I'll need to do some combination of flashing the boot.img and recovery.img but I'm unsure what the process is, or even if my assumptions are correct? Help??
EDIT 1 : I found this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193540
I think it's what I need. I just need to read some more and find out what ROM I need to download. Can anyone advise if this is in fact what I need to do and what ROM I should be looking for?
EDIT 2 : I also found this RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.17.401.2_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed.exe
Can anyone confirm for me this is the process and the ROM I need to return to stock before I go ahead and run this?
In advance, thank you for any help/advice that's offered.
The RUU should work.
That guide is for a different phone. Check the stickies in the dev section of this forum.

Thanks for the reply BenPope. Yea, I saw the guide was for a different device, but the steps are virtually identical. I went ahead and ran the RUU. Everything flashed OK, no errors, no issues. Re-locked the bootloader. Still can't run recovery tho. Still getting the same errors. As I understand it I won't be able to get OTA updates installed if Recovery isn't working correctly. Have I got this right? Any ideas?
You're saying everything in the wrong order. Please be more clear.
To run the RUU, your hboot needs to be locked. If after the RUU you can't access recovery something went wrong and the RUU failed. What errors are you getting?

Take boot_signed.img and recovery_signed and Rom.zip from the RUU. Boot to fastboot, flash boot_signed.img and recovery.img . Boot to recovery and flash the rom.zip.

Your problem was due to flashing stock recovery AFTER relock.
Try this:
1. Unlock again.
2. Fastboot flash stock recovery.
3. Then, relock.
4. Boot your phone.
Try to update then.

I have a stupid question.
I've flashed my device with the official European JB RUU 3.14.401.27 (if i'm correct).
I've relocked my bootloader etc, and RUU update is done.
But the bootloader said it's **RELOCKED**.
Is there a way to remove that text without SuperCID?
And will it be a problem to send my device back to HTC repair center? (for the G-sensor.. )
Thanks in advance!

ARE YOU ON A CUSTOM ROM TRYING TO UPDATE YOUR HBOOT FOR THE JELLYBEAN ROMS ? WELL HERE ARE THE STEPS
PS : I'M ONLY POSTING THIS BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE ARE SAYING YOU SHOULD BE ON AN ORIGINAL RUU TO UPDATE HBOOT
REQUIREMENTS :
1. The new HBOOT zip provided by Baadnewz or Football
2. PC/Mac/Linux with fastboot files
3. The Jelly Bean ROM file copied to your phone
4. Courage and patience. :highfive:
LET'S START :
1. First lock your One X with the command : fastboot oem lock
. You might get errors on the fastboot command line but that's nothing
2. The phone should reboot to HBOOT with a "RELOCKED" status and "SECURITY WARNINGS" under it. You might not get "SECURITY WARNINGS" but that's nothing.
3. Go into RUU MODE (Yes I said RUU mode on CustomROM) by typing in fastboot mode in the bootloader : fastboot oem rebootRUU and wait about 15 seconds
4. Flash the new HBOOT .zip file with : fastboot flash zip (the name of the zip file).zip
Example : fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
(If you get an error the first time. Flash again it will work)
5. When the process is done exit RUU mode by typing : "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and then re-unlock the bootloader of your device. If you forgot how to just follow the OneXRoot.com steps again.
6. Flash custom recovery again. (pretty much ClockWorkMOD)
7. Flash boot.img of the Jelly Bean ROM.
8. Go into recovery and flash that Jelly Bean ROM
9. Have fun with Jelly Bean
UPDATE : DUE TO A REQUEST, HERE ARE THE CIDs WORKING WITH THE HBOOT UPDATE :
cidnum: HTC__001
cidnum: HTC__E11
cidnum: HTC__203
cidnum: HTC__102
cidnum: HTC__405
cidnum: HTC__Y13
cidnum: HTC__A07

Many people saying I did the same as the Devs did in their tutorials. Actually there are a lot of people stuck in their Bootloaders after re-locking on custom ROMs so there wasn't a way in the Devs tutorial to go straight to RUUmode from bootloader. And that's why I put this thread.

Glad I helped. That was my intention in the first place. The devs tutorial first made my phone boot directly to the bootloader when I re-locked it. I did some researches and said why not share it with you people to help you. That's what xda is for after all
Thank you so much man!
So this method bypasses the need for having the ruu!

Recently got the OTA JB update for my One X, but honestly I'm not satisfied, so I have 2 possible options:

2. downgrade to official ICS since it was a GREAT ROM: less bugs, SMOOTHER & BETTER BATTERY LIFE than official JB
Since there are tutorials for option 1 listed above, I need help for option number 2.

If you want to go back to ICS, you have to root your phone,, install cwm
and then restore the nandroid backup of official ICS..

Well, that's not good to hear. I was actually thinking of going back to Sense, and was looking forward to the eventual upgrade to JB.
I wonder if battery life is just an issue with Jelly Bean itself? Because ever since I went from Sense 4.1 to CM10 (with JB) my battery life has become absolute garbage.
I was thinking it was largely due to CM10 being s**t but now I wonder if it's JB itself?

Not true. If you're asking if you can go back to an ICS rom after updating your hboot to JB rom status, yes you can.
You cannot, however, downgrade your hboot once you upgrade it. That's why I don't personally recommend updating your hboot because, if you want to flash an AOSP rom after updating, you will have to use a special boot.img and even then apparently GPS won't work.
In summary (as it seems to me), you need to update your hboot in order to flash a Sense JB rom, but not to flash an AOSP JB rom. As a matter of fact, as stated above, you will be constrained with an upgraded hboot if you want to flash the AOSP JB roms with the newer hboot. But, flashing an ICS rom after updating hboot is no problem. Phew!
Damn, this phone is confusing!

As a matter of fact, as stated above, you will be constrained with an upgraded hboot if you want to flash the AOSP JB roms with the newer hboot. But, flashing an ICS rom after updating hboot is no problem. Phew!
Damn, this phone is confusing!

I don't know a lot about this phone (pretty new to it and, wow, is it complex compared to my Nexus), but not only did I get it from an experienced source that you can indeed flash ICS roms on JB (updated) hboots, I have actually done it myself. I bought my phone off Craigslist, already rooted and running ARHD v15.0 (a JB Sense rom) and on 1.23 hboot. I didn't know what that meant at that the time, but after doing a lot of research and asking around (and despite a lot of conflicting opinions), I ascertained that I could flash an ICS rom on my updated hboot. Thus, I flashed Viper X and it worked fine.
Please do a nandroid backup and try the viper x. I have seen that viper x is compatible up to 1.31. Did not see a post anywhere that its not compatible with the 1.36 hboot. So please just try and post the result here.
Or who did see the post point me there :thumbup:
Lol you guys need to make up your minds ...jokes aside, if I can use ICS after updating hboot, I'd be updating it right now tbh, couldn't give a f*ck about AOSP so Im safe there . Im waiting and reading for more answers. ARHD 16 is coming out soon so that could be a first...and I hear ViperX is coming out with a JB version soon

I did made up my mind. At the moment i really don't see why it should not boot, and i can't find a post that it will not boot on the 1.36. I say ... just give it a go , do it for xda-science
I asked a friend who's in my country. He says he (hboot 1.36/CID_044) didn't have any problems going back to ViperX after upgrading his hboot looks like I'm gonna update today
As far as i know all ics roms boot on the higher hboots.the only problem is with kernels , you can't use 2.17 based kernels on JB roms due to radio/network problems
You can't downgrade....that's true but it regards the hboot itself, and no ruu will work either. This has nothing to do with a custom rom
I hope that aman360elite can point me to his source of info.
I have thought that we would be able to downgrade to ICS using official RUU, can't we?
Not shore about that?!?

No it isnt as the ROM doesnt suppport the latest Hboot..That is why think before u jump the gun!

Hello,
I upgraded my hboot from 1.12 to 1.36. on hboot 1.12 i was on viperx 2.7.1 and then when i updated i could still use viperx 2.7.1 so as far as i am aware viperx still works on hboot 1.36. and i thought any ics rom works on 1.3 and above?
We can NOT downgrade the hboot with a ruu ! That's because our phones are still S-ON ! and yes you can run ics roms on the higher hboots but you need a stock nandroid backup for it !
Hi All
I have a HTC One X... it had maximus installed (don't know the version) and my brother downgraded it to stock ICS it was working perfectly until he installed some OTA update. now its freeze unexpectedly. BUT if I connect it to a USB charger or to PC it wont freeze... tried flashing with CM 10.1 , Maximus 21, stock Nandroid backup 4.18.401.2 still no luck
can some one please help me to downgrade back to stock ICS.
Q1. Is it possible to downgrade VERSION MAIN (currently im on 3.20.401.1) and HBOOT ?
Q1. should the software no and the version-main matched ?

I'm going round in circles, trying to work out what I'm doing wrong.
I have hboot 0.43, and a fastboot getvar-main gives me 1.26.707.4
I presently am rooted etc and want to upgrade to JB. I have a nandroid backup of my stock rom. Hboot 0.43 means I cannot upgrade to JB hboot directly.
I restored the backup, flash the boot image from the backup, erase the cache and then flashed the stock recovery (1.29). Reboot. so far so good.
When the phone reboots it tells me there is a system update to 1.28.707.10 (31.82MB). I tell it to download and it says it will.
The problem is the speed. It's been going about 20 minutes so far and it has downloaded 0.15MB!! That's it.
I would try another method, but I can't find an RUU for my phone.
Any help appreciated.
Do fastboot oem readcid

give me a couple of minutes, il just double check which is the correct one and drop it into my FTP server.
il PM you with connection details
OK i have sorted the file you need, details have been sent in a PM.
that is the Jellybean RUU for your CID.
make sure you have a well charged battery
relock your bootloader then run that on your PC and it will bump you all the way up to stock Jellybean

Ok, no luck.
Relocked bootloader, no probs.
When I run the RUU it start ok, but when it gets to updating the signature I get:
ERROR [132]: SIGNATURE ERROR
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone
Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again
So, what to do next?
Did u update your bootloader? U have same cid as me... Your bootloader should show 1.36...then you can flash JB ruu...

running the RUU on HBOOT 0.43 should automatically update the HBOOT to 1.36, but by the sounds of it. He isnt getting that far
usually the signature fail is either because
1. Wrong RUU
2. Bootloader Still Unlocked
3. Corrupt Download
I don't think there is anything wrong with the download. I use a download manager, so it can handle disconnects.
Hboot still says 0.43
I think the problem may be that I need to update to an intermediate hboot first. So I need an RUU for Hboot 1.26 or something. Then from there I can update my hboot
I'm going to try the 1.28.707.10 RUU

the RUU updates your HBOOT for you
but if you want to try it there is a thread here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376
which contains 1.36 HBOOT's which you can flash
lock bootloader
download the one for your phone from thread above (see your CID HTC__044 - x.xx.707.x - Asia WWE (World Wide English))
rename to firmware.zip
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
then you can try the RUU again

going from Hboot 0.43 to 1.36 directly
Hi people, im not too familiar with the hboot part therefore wanted to ask a few questions before trying:
1. is it possible to upgrade directly from 0.43 to 1.36 with the RUU for tmob-005 from the mentioned website or do i need to do it stagewise?
2. will it this process erase the data on my SDCARD?
a quick and accurate response shall be greatly appreciated!! :good:

at 1. you said "no", as in it cant be done directly?
No it cant be done directly .... You got that right, the step to a JB hboot s to high !
In your case (from such a low hboot) it need to be done in steps
And about the direct firmware flash im not certain if it works directly but i would not risk it. There is for sure a RUU that fits your hboot. So I would go for safe and install a ruu to get back to stock and then officially ota all the way up to JB !

Just flash the correct hboot from the post that bagofcrap24 linked to : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1957376
It doesn't erase your data and is a lot easier than trying to find the correct RUU and flashing that.

Your opinion depends completely how familiar the person is with fastboot and commands :thumbup:
And btw, for such a low hboot there is definitely a RUU available
