I would advise to flash a jb_hboot because juopunutbear hboot has unlocked extended fastboot commands whereas 1.29 doesnt.
As to what has changed from 1.27.x to 1.29.x well Im afraid htc doesnt release changelog so to be perfectly blunt, we dont know

hello

where i can find it ?

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
Sent from my greatest Sensation 4G running LeeDrOiD
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)

Download,rename to PG58IMG,put in root of SD,go to bootloader it will ask for update. Say yes to update, You will have 1.17.0011 after the update.

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
Please share the file. Thank you.

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] hboot 1.23 & s-on problem

Hi,
I have sensation with hboot 1.23 s-on, unlocked with official htcdev and custom rom installed.
I can't flash any RUU, even it's original orange UK RUU, I can't s-off with revolutionary because max hboot version is 1.18 and can't unlock network!!
any ideas?
pls help...
Flash previous Firmware, see if work .
Same problem here but I am stuck on 1.20. No firmware can be flashed, neither through RUU or PG58IMG.zip. RUU flashing ends with message security failed, update failed. PG58IMG.zip simply returns to menu after parsing. Fastboot returns with "remote, not allowed".
Please help !

When I tried an ICS rom, I flashed the 1.20 hboot and firmware. All I had to do to get rid of 1.20 hboot was flash the PG58IMG.zip of the eng hboot.

If you are s-on you can't flash anything. You have to wait until revolutionary updates to 1.23

How did you guys end up with S-On?
Were you S-On before flashing hboot 1.23 or you just flashed an old official RUU over 1.23?

Revolutionary won't S-off for 1.23 in near future...:-/
Pure stupidity for me. I usually pay more attention to what's going on. When I flashed firmware that contained HBOOT 1.20 it did flash 1.20 but got stuck in bootloader mode and did not update radio.
I followed with attempt to downgrade to 1.17 and restore S-On so I could repeat revolutionary. When it simply returned to the menu w/o any error (but in fact stayed on 1.20) I did writesecureflag 3.
So the best I did was unlock bootloader through HTCDEV. I am still however stuck at 1.20, old radio and while I can flash roms, I cannot flash radio or hboot or RUU. normally I would just wait it out but wi-fi does not work in new roms for me, prob because of old radio.
I have the same problem, and there are many people have the same problem. Hope revolutionary would support hboot 1.23. But previous revolutionary s-off the bootloader when phone is on.

Well what's done is done... Wait for ICS official RUU... Probably it will flash...
Atleast thug can flash a Rom...
For wifi issue, i suggest you reset the router...I have doubts that will solve your issue..

Use adb as alternative to pg58img to flash recovery as per the guide.
Flashing the boot.img part of the ruu then gives you downgraded bootloader enabling you to s-off.

that hboot is of gingerbread one ..and flashing it would result in bootloop of your current OS
the revolutionary hboot is a patched semi eng-hboot (it has all the important features of eng-hboot patched to it ) ..no need to change it

i don't think so, revolutionary didn't had all features I wanted. So the process was flash 1.17 (yes bootloops) -> do anything -> flash 1.27.

I had issue with 'fastboot oem emapiWlanMac'. Can't post log now, but it was throwing errors, all went fine with 1.17.2008 SPL.
Yeah I was dissapointed a bit, because I've heard that 1.27.1100 had full support but np for me :good:.

[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

Do you have an HTC sensation or HTC sensation XE? Because HTC sensation/XE does not have hboot of 1.44. Also, there's not really a "stock hboot". Android 2.3 (gingerbread) uses hboot version 1.18 and android 4.0+ uses 1.27 or 1.29 hboot.

Hi,
Look HERE
S-on is fully explained.
I saw that, but after reading this I'm not sure if my hboot is signed one and it is safe to execute "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3"
I was messing with hboot a lot in the past, dunno what is flashed to the phone now.
So the question is: how to make sure that my hboot is stock one to perform s-on command?

A ruu should return you to stock hboot.
And, in case you have any doubts, the HTC unbricking project can solve brick caused by s on with incorrect hboot.
