even if someone will repack it, it will still fail due to signature verify which will fail with another HBOOT.

Arrghhh...I guess we have to wait for the official unlocked RUU from HTC

do you mean the ENG H-BOOT?

No,ENG S-OFF is 008.You can flash the original hboot 0011 from an official rom via fastboot

I take it you keep the S-OFF doing that? I'm using the ENG S-OFF but is there really any advantage to it bar a few extra HBOOT commands?
EDIT: The HBOOT from the 1.35.401.1 RUU isn't an IMG file - can it still be flashed?

yes you can rename it as hboot.img and flash it via fastboot..I prefer you guys to use revolutionary,which enabled fastboot and version higher than eng(eng is the same as 1.17.0008)

S-OFF isn't affected by flashing an HBOOT (I don't think). I'll try it now and let you know

Only reason I used the ENG S-OFF was to get rid of the 'Revolutionary' banner at the top - like it to look OEM

i will try now the performance on the phone
Yeah, flashed it on mine and still S-OFF

1. Extract ZIP file
2. Flash via fastboot using command:
fastboot flash hboot hboot.img
3. The run:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
4. Then run:
fastboot erase cache
5. Turn phone off and then back on again

Why do you need it ? Did you have S-OFFed your Sensation?
Do you know how flash a PG85IMG.ZIP into the NAND in your Sensation?
I have a image file which included hboot ver 1.17.0011 PVT SHIP S-OFF attached below.
Are you sure you need it?
It maybe brick your phone, the risks and responsibilities all are yours when you flash your phone! This HBOOT only tested on my HTC Sensation!
There has only been one eng hboot leaked and it's .0008
Flash a stock hboot onto a phone that is radio S-OFF and it will say SHIP S-OFF. Ship is stock and S-OFF, when ENG is not written, means radio S-OFF.
On previous HTC phones you could have ENG S-OFF without radio S-OFF, and the hboot would fool the radio into thinking that the phone was S-OFF even though it wasn't radio S-OFF. It's unlikely that would work with the Sensation unless the eng hboot was signed, and the one that has leaked isn't.
Revolutionary is a special kind of hboot. It still says SHIP in the bootloader but it's custom and has some extra fastboot commands (like 'fastboot flash'), so in many ways it acts like an eng hboot. So if you run Revolutionary, you get radio S-OFF and a custom hboot. Your phone will still be S-OFF after running a RUU but you'll overwrite the Revolutionary custom hboot with a stock one.

[Q] How to remove ENG HBOOT?

Hey guys,
I want to change my MID. For this reason I have to flash ENG HBOOT.
1.) I cant find a link to download the ENG HBOOT
The link form this thread is no longer available:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193033
EDIT: I found it here:
http://www.share-online.biz/dl/EOEPEAQLFF
2.) After flashing the ENG HBOOT and changing the MID, I want to flash the latest gingerbread RUU for my phone:
RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.50.401.1_Radio_10.56.9035 .00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_223042_signed.exe
Do I have to remove the ENG HBOOT before flashing the RUU or will ENG HBOOT be replaced with the stock HBOOT?
Or how can I remove the ENG HBOOT? (because I read, that ICS will not boot with ENG HBOOT)
Thank you in advance

hboot

Wait a minute here.
I have the latest ota zip which I pulled off my htc one s before I flashed rooted super cid and so fourth.
Anyway. My hboot in the ota zip shows a hboot 1.14.0005 youre saying that the newest HBOOT is 2.15?
I am on tmobo usa in Connecticut can someone verify what the latest HBOOT is for a branded tmobo usa phone is?
hboot_ville_1.14.0005_signedbyaa.nb0 is whats inside the firmware.zip dated 1/28/2013
So whats this 2.15 you speak of?
Flash
So since im supercid s-off rooted custom rom can I boot into twrp and flash the firmware.zip and radio.img rcdata manually to get the newest radio and hboot?
Or will this have bad effects on my s-off and custom rom?
Please note there's a risk if u up to JB

DEAR TIM,
The 2.15 HBOOT is use for the euro JB system, is u change SCID to 11111111 and S-off, then u can RUU to the EURO version

No, you cannot run ota.zips in custom recoveries, such as twrp. You need to relock and flash stock recovery, but of you do that, you might as well upgrade to the latest as the guy above mentioned.
I guess tmobile has not released the update yet, that's why you don't have the latest
But why do all that, just flash a radio from the radio collection/installer and be done with it. No benefit in updating hboot. There are lots of zips in the dev section already premade to install hboots in recovery...if you really want, but messing with hboot always Carries risk..I'd say, don't touch it.

Thanks for the rapid response.
But if I change my cid from htc__001 to super cid and run the ruu that means I cant do any of there ota's for it will brick according to the forums though correct?
And I though if I extracted the radio.img and rcdata zip I could flash them separately.
Just not sure how.
The most you can do is 2.35.531.12, which is 1.xx hboot, positive. 2.15 is the Jellybean OTA hboot version. But if you r going to do those things, it should require the HTC__xxx or SuperCID2 (22222222). Also, I bricked my fone doing the update, so you should just flash CM10 and screw TMOUS because it deserved to be shi**ed, screwed, and fuc**d on.
you'll get updates quicker thru the devs than the carrier
that's one reason we rooted

the JB system(HBOOT 2.XXX.X) won't allow u to flash radio.img individual.
Only Hboot below 1.13.xxx can flash separately~

Super cid and ruu is fine...just don't do ota while super cid.
Once you do the ruu mentioned, you'll be right up to date and no need for ota anyways.

[Q] Can I update my HBOOT 1.09?

Hi, I've been reading all over the threads, and I'm not sure if I can update my hboot.
I have a rooted and S-off HTC One X. The CID was CWS__001, which I had to change it to 11111111 in order to be able to unlock bootloader through HTCDev.
I've seen the tutorials on how to update the hboot, in which the first step is to download the corresponding JB firmware, according to my CID. As I said mine is originally CWS__001, but it's not listed in the firmware collection.
Should I be able to update my hboot?

HBOOT 2.02 can S-OFF ??

Can I S-OFF the hboot 2.02 ??
I mean this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399331 will work for my HBOOT 2.02 ?
No, because zergRush won't work. You'll have to unlock your bootloader to gain any sort of root.
Edit: this guide would work
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318919
To S-OFF you first have to downgrade to an older HBOOT, which is done by gaining some form of root, running misc_version and then an older RUU. After you're S-OFF you can put on a newer (S-OFFed) HBOOT if you don't want Revolutionary's default one.
As long as you're running gingerbread (i.e. Android 2.3.x, and not ICS which is 4.0.4), you can get temproot. See my signature for more information.

S-OFF is something I too want to do to my HTC Desire S, looking in your signature you are running 2.00.2002.
I am on a newer HBOOT the 2.02.0002.
I understand you have to downgrade first, and then S-OFF, but after S-OFF can I then flash the ICS RUU and get it back to 2.02.0002?
Will it still say Revolutionary? or go back to saying Unlocked (As I am HTC DEV Unlocked).
My main concern is that I don't like the idea of having 0.98, on there after, or having a fake number 6.98 or 7.00.2000 etc.
There seems to be a lot of people still on 2.00.X and not on the 2.02.X.
Are you S-OFF paulie-uk?

I'm hboot S-OFF (what revolutionary can provide), not radio S-OFF (sadly the only way to do this on SAGA is with some extra equipment). I believe the 2.02.0002 hboot came in the ICS RUU, it's just got a bit tighter security, I don't think the partitions have changed since the last version (someone correct me if I'm wrong here).

I'm using an S-OFFed ENGineering hboot, where you see people on the other version (2.00.0002) it is (usually) the stock SHIP hboot.

You will have to downgrade. Sadly this will wipe your phone.

After you're S-OFF, I'd suggest you try a custom ROM and not flashing the 4.0.4 RUU (it's a buggy experimental version). Flashing an official RUU is pretty much how you return to stock, so it would most likely overwrite your S-OFFed hboot with a S-ON stock one. Remember, the S-OFF on our device is done in the hboot and not the radio.
When you're S-OFFed the first hboot you will have will be Revolutionary's 6.98 one. You can change this after.
I've found that 2.00.2002 works with all of the ROMs I've tried (which have been based on gingerbread, ICS and JellyBean). The "fake number" ones are there to make flashing a S-ON hboot more difficult, meaning that an OTA update wouldn't undo it. However, it is quite obvious if you were to send your phone in for repairs (still in warranty!?!?!) which is why a few of the tech-savvy who want S-OFF put on the ENG hboots instead.
If you want to overwrite Revolutionary's hboot with a different one with a lower version number, you will need to use dd and if it goes wrong it will brick your phone. You can find the ENG hboots on cyannogenmod's wiki if you don't trust the files I provide in other posts, but I strongly suggest you read about what you're going to do until you're comfortable with it before taking action.
Remember that after changing a hboot or radio, you should always re-wipe and re-flash your phone as partitions can move and always check the md5 first.
