Hi Guys,
There is a good chance this has been asked but here goes. I am on a custom rom Maximus HD sense 5. My question is my HBoot is still 1.36, should I upgrade it is there any benefit, and if so is the best way to go back to my nandroid then stock recovery and upgrade it that way, oing the OTA or is there another quicker simpler method of upgrading my HBoot.
international HTC one x, CID HTC__001.
Thanks in advance

Hi all,
I have a HTC Desire A8181, SLCD, hboot 0.83 with AuraxtSense 7.4, its umbranded and not simlocked. I would like to install STOCK 2.2 (RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.10.405.2_R_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_142828_signed.exe)
Is it possible to simple execute .exe or i have to do it using other way? which way?
Thank you,
Marcello
Moved to Q&A. Please don't post question threads in Development.
Yes it is possible to just execute it, and it will guide you through the process.
There is other ways if you can't get it to work but start with the ruu
i second that. if you want to go back to stock unrooted rom, flashing a RUU is an easy way of doing that. but if you want other ways. you can try this one.

Hey guys
I did a terrible mistake and upgraded my lovely Desire to RUU GB 2.3 from HTC... so, from now on I am stuck with this version.
Is there any way to revert/downgrade or anything else to get the ability to install custom ROMs again?
Thanks.

revolutionary can s-off ur desire with GB, it will also install a cwm recovery, after that u can flash the rooted rom that u want
Just to add to the above comment..
Should you ever wish to return to STOCK froyo (i.e. HTC RUU), you'll need to downgrade HBOOT (can be found on alpharev site).
But as you've only mentioned custom ROM's, I guess you're good to go!
am i right in thinking branded handsets can update to GB the official and that will debrand and they won't need a gold card in future?
I have thought that but as i am not branded I can't test - but someone branded has asked if they need one and i am not sure...
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

When I didn't have my goldcard (or an SD adapter to create one) and wanted to revert to stock FROYO, I installed GB rom with no problems. I then created a goldcard, downgraded HBOOT and installed FROYO again.
So in short, I don't believe the GB update requires a goldcard. If you choose to downgrade again, though, you will require it.
I'm not sure on the custom GB roms, but this is certainly the case for the official release by HTC.

Hi All,
Jut looking for some general advice and opinons. I have a onex that i havent unlocked or obviously rooted yet, I know its CID is HTC_001 and
S-on. So my general question should I go ahead and unlock and root and take advantage of a JB sense 4+ rom, or wait and go for the OTA JB.
Regards
qball
Take the advantage . It's a big leap .

I recommend rooting and flashing custom rom, I myself had some problems but it will be worth it.
Oh and I had this Htc desire Z, which wasn't exactly easy to root years ago.
just to give a heads up. You can't go back after upgrading your hboot version. Once you decided to use Jellybean sense rom with the latest versions of hboot, you have to use special boot img to boot non-sense ROM and as of now it will render your GPS useless. Unless you are among the lucky ones with S-OFF device

Hey guys,
I'm running a HTC One X ARHD 15.0 / hboot 1.31, and want to update to Renovate Final 3.
I've got two questions:
1) What's the best way to update hboot on a Mac?
I've done it before, and it was quite easy.. but I can't remember how I did it.. Although I can remember I locked my phone to receive an htc update, unlocked it, rooted it, installed recovery &d done..
2) Why should I update hboot, except compatibility with a rom?
Thanks!
Hello all, please be gentle, I'm only back to the Android scene after a sebactical using iPhone. I have a UK O2 HTC One M8, CID is O2___001, HTCdev unlocked with S-On. I have installed a GPE rom (SkyDragon v3.0.1), brilliant rom, but wanted to revert back to stock sense. All the guides I have read state that in order to revert back to a sense rom I need to have S-Off, however the firewater method isn't working (having tried a number of different kernels), nor does the Sunshine method. I have tried to find an O2 RUU for the same CID with no avail, so am really hoping someone can help. Ultimately I am wanting to convert my phone to a GPE with OTA, but need to be S-Off to try this, hoping if I can get back to a Sense rom I will be able to achieve this. Hope this all makes sense. I have spend a good part of the morning searching through these forums, google, and even youtube looking for help, but am having no luck.
I have also tried to flash Android Revolution HD 21.0, it appears to install correctly, buy when it reboots it won't boot past the white HTC screen, all other guides state that I need to update the firmware, but need S-Off in order to to this.
Im starting to get confused so would really appreciate nay help anyone can give me.
Cheers in advance for anyone kind enough to reply.

You only need to "convert" back (s-off required) if you did the full conversion to GPE in the first place. That also requires s-off, and you mentioned you only flashed a GPE ROM (not full conversion) so it doesn't apply to you.
You can just flash a Sense ROM. But as you mentioned, you will encounter the firmware issue on newer Sense ROM. But there are still a variety of Sense ROMs still based on older versions (to get back to Sense).
However, you will want the stock ROM and stock recovery for the best chance of sunshine to work, and it doesn't look like those are posted on the stock nandroid collection for your CID: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
RUUs are only available for US carriers, AFAIK. So that is why you can't find one for O2.
Thank you, found an old sense rom that matched my firmware, and sunshine worked, not have S-Off, thank you again.
