Ok so today I updated my firmware to the newest ICS via the pmg zip in the ARHD thread and proceeded to flash ARHD 6.2.1. Non XE. Once I got those loaded I went to flash the radio file from the thread. But not thinking about the fact that I lost my ENG Hboot. Once that dawned on me I reflashed the 1.17 ENG Hboot. This sent my phone into frozen state at the htc quietly brilliant screen. So I get into fastboot manually update the radio without the phone properly booting and reflash the firmware update. Now my phone is working line a champ. But is there a working ENG Hboot out there for the beta ICS devices? If so where can I get a hold of it?
Thanks for the answers and reading my long winded story to get to them.

Closest thing I think is fw 3.24, hboot 1.27 with functioning fastboot in this thread:

Hello everybody, after trying to get to stock I've ended up in a peculiar situation, I have s-on but my hboot is also 1.23 so revolutionary can't helpe there. Is there any way that I can flash a firmware file apart from through the hboot method? Any way?
Stock ruu files don't work for me I always get unknown error 155 even though its the correct radio any everything.
Thanks
Not on 1.23, no fastboot commands, no exploit in that firmware. Sorry, to date no one has been able to change h boot from 1.23.

So I'm stuck here.....basically forever?
Before everyone jumps all over my a$$ and directs me to a "guide", here's the situation.
I ran the revolutionary S-off tool once before
Somehow I am now "SHIP S-OFF"
Revolutionary S-OFF tool won't run (I think because I'm HBOOT 1.23)
I've searched and searched but I gave up. Does anyone know what to do from here?
Try ur original ruu

Just flash the firmware from one of the two threads in development. Both have options with hboot 1.17 eng s-off I think.
Have you superCID?

If you intend to run ICS 1.17 is no bueno. You can just flash the 1.17 h boot. It's in the development forum.

Thanks for the help. I'm sure it has been covered many times before.
I don't want to paint myself into a corner, so tell me if this the right order of things:
Flash 1.17 HBOOT
S-off
flash original RUU
Boot up and flash new radio for the ROM I want (Revolution HD)
flash new ROM
Can I cut any of these steps out?
I can't flash firmware until I'm S-off
Cant S-off until I go HBOOT 1.17
I flashed the 1.17 HBOOT and it said I was CID:11111111
After flashing firmware 3.32, it says CID:TMOB010. WTF? Do I have to SuperCID each time?

Are you checking from fastboot with adb or terminal? Terminal will show your original cid. Fastboot shows your actual cid. I only ever had to super cid once and I flash firmwares all the time.

I have a question, how could i downgrade my HBOOT to 1.17 and if i do, if i restore my nandroid backup of my stock gb, will i loose my root? And custom recovery? And will that restored backup contain the software version, ruu name, radio and firmware and kernel? Thank you very much. And is it safe to have different ruu when you're with CID 1111111?
I followed the SUPERCID method of flashing thats why im on CID 11111111 i just want to make sure and verify if my stock rom was asia or wwe_asia.
Any response would be greatly appreciated. Noob here.

I have done this, when I send back my phone for repair. You can download the 1.17 firmware here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767 and flash it. If your on ICS now for sure it wont boot after flashing the 1.17 delete the firmware file PG58IMG.zip from your sd card (put your sd card on a card reader ), coz no other way from the phone you can delete that. Make sure you already have your nandroid backup, after deleting boot again at recovery then restore your nandroid gb. then you should be able to restore your gb.

You will be rooted same as you were when you performed you Nandroid backup. If you flash RUU you will lose root and custom recovery. Your radio, ril, and kernel will be what they were at the time of your backup. You don't need to doSuper CID again if you already did it once.

Okay, since you're currently running ics you should flash the h boot from 3.12 firmware in the link I posted previously because it contains the 1.23 h boot which runs both GB ROMS and ICS ROMS. Download a 3.12 firmware, you have already done super cid so any will work. After you finish your download extract the contents and locate the h boot. It should be PMG58IMG, place it on the root of your sd csrd. Now boot into downloader. Remove battery, replace it, hold vol - and press power it should see the PM58IMG zip and ask if you want to update, choose yes. When it finishes reboot you phone. Now reboot into recovery and install your backup. After you are back to your GB backup you can either remain on 1.23 h boot, you'll still be s off, or flash the 1.17 h boot in the link I posted above.

If your backup is of your stock ROM rooted, check your software version after you reinstall your backup. Then go to this thread and you should be able to find your RUU.

I just want to clarify something. I Downloaded 3.12 firmware. Do i flash it now? or I'll extract it first get the hboot and rename it to PG581MG? Thanks

I extracted the h boot PM58IMG zip only when I downgraded. Don't worry your radio, etc are in your backup.
H boot 1.23 runs GB and ICS. 1.17 only works with GB.

Hi all,
I am currently running on Hboot 1.17.1111. I had actually flash a coredroid rom, ICS onto my phone, without realizing that i need to flash my hboot to 1.27.
My phone was formerly flash on the gingerbread version. The rom was installed successfully but my phone now keeps restarting at the splash screen. I tried to look for solutions around to update the hboot with 1.23 then to 1.27. However, i am unable to install them. Is there any solution to this?
Thanks for the help
Pm your way put in sim card power volume down don't touch phone till u see ring will flash from and firm all in one shot then u can flash what u want
Sent from my Sensation using xda premium
why would you update to 1.23 then 1.27...from my understanding of it, all you need is 1.23 hboot to flash to ICS and 1.23 can also run any GB roms as well, whereas 1.27 can only run ICS Roms
i tried to update to 1.23 but it doesnt work as well.
oh well, i thot that i need to update to 1.27 for the rom flash

Hboot 1.23 is firmware 3.12 and that's outdated ics roms. All the new ones use 1.27
