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

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Hboot 1.23 is firmware 3.12 and that's outdated ics roms.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

So my problem is that any rom i flash with Sense 3.5 will not boot, but will keep rebooting and rebooting. I am new to sensation but i did google this issue without solutions. My sensation is unlocked, from htc dev. S-ON, rooted, hboot is 1.8. I wanted to s-off, but revolutionary failed to get root. I don't know why. Currently i am able to flash roms with sense 3.0.
I will appreciate any help. I do full wipe before flashing. Please advice.

If you are trying to install the Sense 3.5-3.6 ICS versions you need Hbot 1.23 or 1.27 to boot.

Thanks, they are not ics versions. How do i update to hboot 1.23? by updating firmware i suppose. i will much appreciate if someone can point me to the right firmware. I don't want ics, i only want to have GB with Sense 3.5 and i read that once i update to hboot 1.27 then i should forget GM roms. So, do i really need to have hboot 1.23 or 1.27 to flash GB roms with Sense 3.5? Thanks
No you don't need those hboots but if you want to flash ics then yes you do
So how can i avoid the bootloop whenever i flash a GB rom with Sense 3.5? i am able to flash and boot GB roms with Sense 3.0. i have unlocked bootloader, hboot 1.18. any other requirement needed to flash a GB rom with Sense 3.5?
Run revolutionary again usually gotta run it if it fails to gain root

i did try many times, apart from that revolutionary will only give me s-off and recovery, my understanding is that to flash any custom rom i need to be rooted and have recovery but my phone is rooted and recovery is installed, i even have the bootloader unlocked. please correct me if i am mistaken.
You actually need s -off of you plan flashing ics roms and want to be able to downgrade hboot if you ever want to go back your hboot is unlocked but your security flag is still on and that's the most important thing

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. I have s-on but hboot 1.23 and my hboot is meant to support firmware 3.12 but when I tried to run roms on that firmware, ALL of them got stuck in a bootloop even though I flashed the boot.img file for each of them and did a full wipe. Is there any solution to my problem?
well simply u need it s-off now it lloks up and signed rom while u use an custom. follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
is a very good guide used it and worked for me.
I can't soff now because I have hboot 1.23 and revolutionary does not support it.
how did you get the 1.23 hboot?
anyway.. find a ruu for your device and go back to gb. s-off then
I can't all of the RUU files give unknown error:155
Try then updating to the 1.27 revolutionary if you feel brave enough

Or extract the rom from a ruu and flash it as pg58img.zip
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using Tapatalk
that's the problem, hboot 1.23 is utter pathetic and shoddy, it can't flash any firmware files whatsoever or do any advanced fastboot commands such as :fastboot update PG58IMG
I didn't put hboot 1.23 on, it came whilst i was trying a firmware for a rom.
Extract the full rom from a ruu and put it in the root of your SD card named PG58IMG.ZIP and go into boot loader. It should downgrade you to gb... Then you can s-off with revolutionary

If only, hboot 1.23 cant update any PG58IMG files, it checks that they are there, then says parsing and reboots hboot.
Perhaps this will help:

You can't downgrade your hboot with s-on. That really is common knowledge and if you weren't aware of that, I would suggest you do a lot more reading before attempting s-off anyway. I'm sorry to be a **** but you aren't ready.
I'm suggest you to wait until revo come out with the support for your HBOOT version
Hi. Try this method. Read first and if you have any further questions aks there.

This method is NOT for 1.27 hboot.
Isn't running a GB RUU enough to have everything back to a "S-OFFable" setting?
I used an "old" RUU to go back to a revolutionary compatible hboot on a friend of mine's Incredible S (hboot 2.0 to 1.13) and it worked... Is there something I don't know as the reason for this not to work on the Sensation (surely there is... )?
try to do tacoroot to access revolutionary maby it help
I have a sensation with S-off via Revolutionary IO, but I took the ICS update and the HBoot was upgraded to 1.27 and was locked. I want to try the Bruce2728 CM10 Kang. What would be the next step for me? Should I just use the Sensation_4G_All-In-One_Kit to flash 4EXT recovery and install the rom? Do I have to unlock the 1.27 Hboot first? What about hacking the CID to make it a superCID? Thanks for your help.
