Hey as with the old htc devices such as the sensation and the desire s you needed to be s-off to flash or change your radio at will, im pretty sure you need s-off to flash new radios to your device. I have an s-off device so wouldnt be able to verify this for a fact as i can flash freely to my device, but im pretty sure you will need s-off to flash radios, please correct me if im wrong

No, it's possible without s off. Go into the development section , a topic say that we can flash a radio if the hboot is below .13 but i don't if .13 is included or not.

It depends which nexus you are referring to?
Edit: PEP-C who posted the comment above is a friend of mine he has the nexus s, which is nothing compared to the the one s, I've just bought his s-off one s off him so I'm a tad happy

you could downgrade the hboot to 1.06 and flash the radio through recovery. I did this today and it works i upgraded my radio to 1.08es.
Only downgrade if you have the s4 version of the phone!

And so the .13hboot is not included ?

No you can not. Only with hboot 1.06 and 1.09.
But we can now downgrade hboots.
On these low hboots, you can flash radio, adsp, wcnss, rpm, tz, splash by dd'ing them directly into the block device in an adb shell in recovery.

No.
I bought mine with 1.06 on it and kept it that way by never taking RUUs or OTAs.
EDIT: However, I did flash all of those partitions with images from other RUUs or OTAs.

Another interesting thread on this in DEV
I also found this post on the DEV section on radios... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1684477&highlight=radio
Its a method that doesnt seem to require an hboot downgrade, but its an older post, and may be from the pre hboot 1.13 era...

Only for older hboots than yours though it seems:/ You can always try CM10 though, it packages the radio in files which are easy to replace and doesn't use your "real" radio at all.

But if i return to ViperOneS for exemple does the radio change ?

[Q] Want to try JB ROMs don't know what to do next.

Hi I'm a noob and I don't know what to do next. I have a T-Mobile Sensation 4G that I S-offed using revolutionary before taking the ICS update but I really don't know what to do next.
Attached is what my Hboot shows right now.
I have read this forum and several of the how to guides but it's not clear to me what my next step is.
I assume I need to unlock the bootloader next but can someone explain to me how to do it using either the KGS tool or the Hansoon2000 tool without using HTCDev, (they keep saying registration is closed).
Next am I supposed to flash a recovery? SuperCID? Flash PG58IMG.zip? Root?
Could you please list the exact order I'm supposed to these steps in? It's very confusing.

S-off that's good. Now unlock it via HTC-DEV Website (very easy 5-10min)
Root the phone then install 4ext recovery APK
then install any rom you want

Is there a way to unlock bootloader without using HTCDev? From reading the board it's simplied the HTCDev off is not a full (or real) unlock. Unless they are saying the bootloader is unlocked but it remains S-on.

Fistly i unlocked thé bootloader then i S-OFF'ed m'y Sensation
Oh: i forgot that you can try the KGS utility in développement section
Envoyé depuis mon HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio avec Tapatalk

Mate dont unlock bootloader with htcdev after archiving s off
Flash engg hboot .. use kgs utility for that .
There is option to install eng hboot in kgs utility
After that flash 4ext recovery , then root device.
All options is there in kgs utility..
And start flashing :thumbup:

Ok I will try that when I have some free time. Flashing an Engineering HBOOT on an S-OFF stock sensation should be safe right? What about super CID and firmware?

[HBOOT] Upgrade and Downgrade to any HBOOT

I do all this process to upgrade to HBOOT 2.14, but you can downgrade/upgrade with any HBOOT if you have the hboot files.
First: Any brick or fail it`s not my responsibility. Proceed with caution.
S-OFF NEEDED TO PROCEED
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Procedure:
1-Download the hboot what you want:
http://d-h.st/XdJ //ALL FILES FROM OTA 3.17 T-MO germain hboot 2.14 (incl recovery and other firmware files, be careful with that).
http://d-h.st/bt9 // HBOOT 1.09 THANKS TO liamstears from the other post to provide the file.
http://d-h.st/J1T //HBOOT 2.14 liamstears magic another time.
2-Reboot in fastboot mode.
3-Do the following commands one by one:
fastboot erase cache //optional
fastboot oem rebootRUU //to enter in HTC black screen
fastboot flash zip [zipname.zip] // i.e "fastboot flash zip hboot214.zip"
(wait some seconds, green bar in phone screen)
fastboot reboot-bootloader //to see your new HBOOT
That`s all folks.

was looking for downgrades, thanks bro

You can flash this zip from liamstears to downgrade to 1.09:

I think nobody knows what are the advantages of 2.14 hboot, but, why keeping 1.09 or 1.14 if you can have 2.14 without any problems?
The first file i posted have more things than a hboot, flashing the 2.14 complete file is like aplying a 3.17 RUU to the majority of partitions (sb1.img, rpm.img blabla), a ROM flash can`t do that, thats because it`s a little more risky

If this requires S-OFF I think maybe a disclaimer in the original post would be good, something like "YOU MUST HAVE S-OFF TO PROCEED WITH THIS!!!!" should be good

So I can flash the 1.09 zip to downgrade is this correct? I have 1.14 right now...direct downgrade so long as I have S-OFF? Just want to make sure before I proceed here

[Question] Best way to downgrade Hboot now that we have s-off?

any tip, help would be apreciated.
im a old semi-dev (like semi-god lol just a joke) but mostly for samsung and motorola devices.
this is mmm, lets say my semi first HTC device, i briked accidentaly a HTC Sensation 4g, resiving an ota, i forget to change my cid.

There is no best way, there are many ways.
If you are s-off, just run a ruu of your choice with the hboot you want.
Check what cid you need for the ruu (HTC__xxx) (because a ruu will still do checks). I prefer a og HTCcid over supercid anyday, you have experienced that already.
cid is now easy to change with a fastboot command (or leave the supercid).

Its a bit slower going into bootloader or recovery its not much so up to if you want to upgrade also a newer one don't have the loading bar.

Run the RUU
Safest way to downgrade your hboot to 1.06 is to install the shipped rom RUU_Ville_U_HTC_Europe_1.53.401.2_Radio_0.15.31501S.19_10.12.31501S.06L_release_251412_signed.exe

Updates to piss us off before S-Off lol. I just don't see the point in doing this with S-Off, if we didn't then ya downgrading was good but now to me its bad.

Yeah I used that one to update to hboot 2.15 in order to get use the new 3.4 kernel and the newer ROMS. However I don't have S-OFF, as it only works with the Tmous 3.14 (as it says in the thread), and I have the Telus 3.16 version. My problem is that with this new hboot and radio update, I have no service :/ I installed the new CM and even tried some other ROMS with the 3.4 kernel, they all work fine except I never have any service. And I am not s-off so I can't go back or use a different RUU :/

I read that you can use Moonshine on this ROM now. So you have a choice. Apply moonshine and see if you can fix the radio that way or take it back to the shop. At least it is "as shipped" in it's current state so as long as you are inside the warranty period they should replace it.

Note that you have to RELOCK your bootloader before running RUU.
