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,

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)

ok

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 ?

[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.....

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

What is your CID?? and version??

If there is a JB ruu for you, you can go to stock JB . You cant use a ruu that is based on the 2.17 or lower. You have an updated Hboot so going back to stock ICS with a ruu is impossible......
You can run a ics stock rom and flash the stock recovery after and relock the bootloader, then it seems you are on stock but only with a updated Hboot. That's the closest to stock ICS you can get !

my one x is cid_001 and running Android Revolution HD 17.1
ive found a jellybean ruu
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.14.401.27_Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_298897_signed.exe
just hoping this works

Edit, was reading wrong : we don't need the rom you are running. We need the main version number to determin the right ruu.
Do fastboot command
Fastboot getvar version-main
That's definitely the real version

Yes, you can
Just find the attached link. Press Thanks if u like.

Yep this ruu is compatible with your CID. But i would warn you that it is a 'leaked' experimental ruu and not an official htc release... So theres no gurantee.

No problem I hope it runs well !!!

I can no more install custom ROMs!

Hi Guys!
I had CM10 on my One X. Something like 1 month ago I updated my ROM through OTA updates, after that I had some casual reboots, but not so annoying...
2 days ago, I updated once again and after that, my phone was very very very instable!! Everytimes I tryed to open an app, it rebooted; so I wasn't able to do a backup through Titanium Backup, neither.
So i decided to try with the Australia MIUI one, and it didn't start...
I tryed Renovated, same end.
I tryed the stock one...it works...
I tryed Orio7...no success...what can i try?? (ofc i flashed the right boot.img each time before install rom...also i tryed to flash it after as well...)
Thanks

Try insert coin or ice cold jelly ( AOKP based) and flash the correct boot.img!

Reboot to the bootloader by holding volume down and the power button. It will say which hboot you have on there. Also, like enigmaticxeal said, make sure you flash the correct boot.img each time you flash a different rom.

yes,cm10 is based on jb,but doesn't need jb hboot
restart your phone and hold power+vol down for seconds and you will enter fastboot,there you can find your hboot version

I updated to stock jb Rom via ota as well and can no longet install any cm Rom. Flashed the correct boot and even tried with the modded boot for jb hboot and even tried repacking the modded one with the stock cm boot. Nothing I do is getting cm on there I'm on hboot 1.36.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

so I think i have 0.43 possible???

that is why you cant install JB sense roms.
JB sense roms needs hboot 1.31 or higher.
You need to update your hboot depending upon your cid.. Then you will be able to flash any sense roms you want.
Do a lil search regarding the hboot and cid, You will get the idea.

yep yep...That sounds like I didn't search, but the truth is that I watched for my CID and phone said "HTC_405"...I though that means I got 1.39, but most probably that was a list of devices COMPATIBLE FOR UPGRADE TO 1.39...
sorry guys I think I can go ahead alone keep this 3ad open if I ll fall in a mistake

I tryed to update Hboot...but im stuck here: FAILED (remote: 44 hboot version check fail)

Try using this tool. It will do everything for you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1924003

Your cid has nothing to do with the hboot, main software and hboots are related. Cid is more a region code .....
For example if your phone is on ics 4.04 2.17 based software your hboot should be 1.12
and the the 4.0.3 software corresponds with hboots 0.95 and/or 0.96
Hope this clears it up.
Basically you can not determine on which hboot the phone is with the cid number

Do a nandroid backup from recovery, then:
fastboot oem lock
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip recovery.zip
That should be enough, combined with a search, for you to figure it out.

[Q] Hboot Update

Hello
How can i do a Hboot Upgrade? I have Hboot version 1.39 and I want to have Hboot 1.72. Is a Hboot update dangerous to brick anything? What must I do to brick nothing?
Greets Thomi

Don't update ....all roms run on 1.39 and there is no way back to 1.39. Wait as long as you can with a bootloader update is my advice

I've already upgade my hboot from 1.36 to 1.72, not all rom can run with this hboot... Now i cant downgrade back to 1.36, Ive try it once... My advice, same as Mr Hofs, dont update..

Installation aborts right.....that's because of the missing bootloader line with your hboot number in the updater script file of the aroma installer.
All recent roms work on your hboot mate
