Hboot versions. topic

I was thinking...how about we all devise a list of compatible ROMs for each hboot version?? That way it would lessen the confusion on compatible hboots.. Maybe even a recovery list as well. Any thoughts?

Updating HBoot topic

Hi, I'm trying to update my HBoot to 2.13 or 2.15 so I can install the nightly CM11 builds. However, I'm not certain on the steps, so am hoping someone can clear things up for me. :)

This is the guide I've been looking at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2501542

At the top he says to find the correct RUU, then links to RUU_Ville_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.16.401.8_Radio_1. 11.50.05.28_10.27.50.08L_release_301814_signed_2_4 .exe for HTC Europe.

Am I able to just use that one? My original RUU is RUU_Ville_U_O2_UK_1.78.206.4_Radio_0.16.31501S.17_ 2_10.23.31501S.10L_release_258707_signed.exe, but I can't find a JB version of that.

Looking on http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=Ville, I can't see any RUUs for JB with Radio_0.16.315.


I don't want to download and try and use the wrong thing, so could someone just confirm whether I can/can't use the HTC Europe RUU, and if not, if there's anyway I can update the HBoot to run CM11?

Thank you.

Should I upgrade my hboot? topic

I am on rumrunner hboot 1.55.5555.

I have been having some strange problems, and am wondering if my hboot could be the source. I think it is the only part of the firmware I haven't flashed trying to fix things. The main problem I am having is no service on non-sense roms. It started when I flashed ViperOne, with a full wipe, coming from Noctournal GE. I flashed back to a stock based ROM, and service is back. But I can no longer flash non-sense roms and have functioning service.

I flashed OMJ's modified firmware and twrp 2.6.3.4, then did a full wipe - didn't fix anything. Tried to RUU - it says "The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone. Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again." When the utility showed the old and new baseband [?] numbers before it tried to flash, they were the same.

I am about to flash the unmodified firmware in the hopes that it will fix something, will report my findings. If anyone could steer me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it! :highfive:

[Q] Thunderbolt Stuck in HBOOT 1.05 topic

In short, I have a thunderbolt that is in 1.05 HBOOT, doesn't change to FASTBOOT USB when it's plugged in, and seems to have no recovery/ROM.

The port does, however, work, as the Device Manager reports a Generic USB HUB when it's plugged in, no Android USB Device, and it does charge. I've used Android SDK Manager Revision 22.3 to install the Google USB Driver, and while my other (cracked screen) thunderbolt works just fine, this one doesn't.

The HTC Tools don't recognize the device is plugged in, and I've asked their official support, being given the runaround. I was working on this a long while back, but that was before the HBOOT got changed to 1.05 by a friendly bit of advice, from 1.04, so now it's locked.

What I -think- needs to be done is for me to find a RUU that's compatible, but I've had little luck. Help me out, folks?

[Q] Help need to restore hboot topic

Tried to change to the desire-z hboot to add extra space when running kitkat 4.4.2. Used the PC10IMG.zip file in developer forum.

It replaced the hboot and the radio, plus the recovery.img. The recovery.img was from 3.0.2.4. Before running the PC10IMG.zip I was using

the latest Clockwork Recovery file. Needles to say the phone won't boot. I need to make a PC10IMG.file that will replace the files

that were in the in the original files on the phone. Needless to say I can't us ADB because that fastboot is not working. I tried update files

form earlier versions(PC10IMG.Zip), they didn't work because hboot was different and I got a version error. Got any suggestions where I can

some later .img files to restore the bad ones.

Thanks,

Clyde

[Q] Gaining S Off in HBOOT 2.19 to get WiFi working topic

Hello one and all!

So I have been playing with new ROM's for my EVO Supersonic. My Daily Driver is AlienwareMod Solar Flare Series V and LOVE it!
So I have been given an old EVO was going to play with it and explore new ROM's. I had rooted it about 2 years ago and she kept stock Sense on it so for some reason I left S-On. Although I am unlocked in the bootloader, and I have been reading on several forums that I dont need to have S Off anymore to load a rom, I seem to be having a common problem that I have been reading about. I can load custom ROM's on just fine, but when I fire up the WiFi the system slows down, and the WiFi cant lock on to a SSID. know the SSID sites are good and I have been trying to narrow donn the problem and have it down to these...

1. I need to achieve S-Off. Although I have many of files for when I did my personal root/unlock I dont have the all and MikMik's site dosnt have hem anymore.

2. I have partitiond a small 2G SD card with Ext3. The Kernel may not tolerate this? I have the stock Lionfish on but have tried others with no sccess on Ext2, Ext3 or Ext4 formatting.

3. I have not 'actvated' the phone on my Sprint Account. Is there maybe some files it would need to download?

4. Recovery. I am using ZZzRemove to really clean the phone... and use the 'Stock" ammon Ra to wipe x3. I prefer SmelMod but cant load a new recovery becuase it locks with a message PC360IMG Parcing.

5. HBOOT 2.18. I think i remember something about how this was locked??

I am thinking I will need to do a RUU to get an earlier version of HBOOT in order to get SOFF. But again, is that mission critical to getting the WiFi to work?

So I am stuck with a bit of a mental bootloop! Any thoughts would be welcome! Screenshots will be loaded of my Recovery and Bootloader upon request......

Thanks!
