Probably showing my ignorance but i would like to know if any functionality is lost by changing the bootloader of a rom to the revolutionary bootloader when s-offing the rom?
I would also be grateful if somebody could explain to me what improvements or ill effects a change of bootloader can invoke i.e. what parts of the functionality of the rom do the bootloader effect.
Bootloader doesn't affect the ROM at all. The bootloader is just what boots into a rom.

If you go through the Revolutionary process. You'll get a Hboot with a slightly different version.
You will however, get S-OFF and Su and a Custom Recovery (ClockworkMod, CWM).
The phone will operate normally. You will have the opportunity of backing it up (Nandroid), installing apps that require Root access and install Custom ROMs.
As I think the other poster mentioned, can't see it ATM, the bootloader is Phone based and independent of the ROM.
I originally used a similar process (AlphaRev) on my desire, AlphaRev and Unrevoked produced Revolutionary together.
From personal experience, it has not affected my phone in any adverse manner, as always YMMV. It opened possibilities though.
Then why are there different bootloaders??

Usually 'cos HTC release slightly different versions of them.
The latest one 1.19 seems more locked down for example.
TBH most folks just use Revolutionary to S-OFF etc. then just leave it at that, mine is 1.17.1111 Once it's done it's done. There is a new Radio that seems to require 1.19 but as my phone works well with the current version I have installed, I'm leaving that well alone.
According to their site they can apply S-OFF to the following versions: HTC Sensation (pyramid) 1.17.0006, .0008, .0011 and .0012, 1.18.0000
What are you actually trying to do / want to achieve ?
what u loose is if u are on stock can update using HTC OTA
If u are stock rom u will not be able to make the OTA updates as it will hang since it expect its own hboot, this is the drawback I know. u will have them to reload a stock copy to have the official hboot and recovery again.

Good point.
However Custom ROMs seem to be "nicer" and tend to have updates earlier.
EDIT: As a fellow Vodafone UK user I thought I'd add that: When I had my HTC Desire (was running Eclair initially) and Froyo was being released, Vf UK was one of the slowest companies to release it. As the newer Froyo offered significant improvements I jumped at the chance to go for a Carrier independent ROM that supported Froyo. Thus freeing myself from Vf release schedule and also removing the Vf bloat ware that I never used. I did suffer a set back when I got the Sensation as initially S-OFF wasn't possible. This situation looks like it'll repeat itself with the release of ICS. PM if you want more info.

I am trying to achieve the best possible stock experience but i don't want to lose the ability to root.
The reason i was asking was the fact that it was stated that, the new h-boot was needed for the new radio to work properly on the leaked ics with sense RUU which suggests that the bootloaders have slightly different functionality.

Ahh you're talking about 11.59..... Sorry I think I got off topic :-((
I've seen a few still using 10.58.........10.15... on ICS with success. I have downloaded an ICS ROM and it seems to work on HBoot 1.17.1111 with my radio. Reflashed back to CM7 though, but I now have the option. I'll reflash ICS again and just confirm it works on 3G and WiFi as usual. I didn't check too far when I first tried. Please bear in mind that these ICS ROMs are based on unreleased versions, so really a taster at the moment.
The latest OTA update has made my phone useless as a
phone, as it now gets no mobile reception...
Is there a way to reverse this upgrade?
My other option is a custom ROM, but i would prefer to stay stock at the moment if at all possible.
you can always run an RUU - One that doesnt contain the update
I was just educating myself on RUUs.
does it matter which one i run? i think my phone is unlocked/unbranded (i bought it second hand) but i'm not sure
EDIT: Nevermind, i checked my baseband against the list of RUUs and found that it is in fact unbranded. Now i know which one to get... just need FileFsctory to let me get it...
which is it you need ? Chances are there's a mirror somewhere
found a mirror, thanks
back to start... i tried to install the 1.53 version and it game an error 140 (bootloader)
I think its because the OTA updated the bootloader !
you cannot downgrade using RUU unless you have S-OFF
Well, i guess i'll have to root and install a custom ROM.
Thanks for the help!
what part do you want to revert ? The radio update ? Cause if so, there is a way to do this
Yeah, the radio. When i was 0.15 radio it worked, now with 0.16 it doesn't
Ok have a look at this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1684477
I dont think you have to have CWM installed on your device, You just need it on your PC, So you can boot into it.
Thanks! can't seem to find a 0.15 radio though

OP does know the consequences of rooting devices right? It avoids your warrenty.
So just want to make sure, do you not get reception anywhere or only at certain area? If the former, it may indicate a fault on your phone caused by the update and you should not deal with it by rooting cos there is a chance rooting and downgrading may not fix it then you would have no where to go. The right move IMO, is to take the phone back to point of sale and demand an exchange. Most of users like me do not have such problem after update.
Just to remind, if you know what you are doing, by all means.

Look here http://www.freeyourandroid.com/guide/extract-rom-from-ruu once extracted the rom.zip, open it up and take out the radio.img.
put it in the place where you keep all your adb stuff. and flash it using the method linked a few posts back
Went though the whole process but baseband version still reads 0.16xxxxxxxx
It doesn't seem to have worked
Well, at this point i'm fairly certain i need to rollback my radio, as i installed CM9 and still no cell signal. I checked and it had the same baseband as the 1.78 ROM.
Scrosler based cleanrom 4.0 off the 1.85 ruu, whereas the previous one was 1.88. I also noticed the Att one x resource Page no longer has a link for the 1.88 RUU. What gives? Did we discover that 1.88 is subpar? I thought everyone agreed 1.85 was junk?

Scott decided to base Cleanrom on 1.85 because It's the official firmware from AT&T. He said there are less problems and fewer tweaks necessary to make his changes work by using the "official" firmware for the phone he develops on.
Just thought that I'd point out my battery life was MUCH better on 1.88 while using CR DE 2.3. I wish I could find that version to download again.

I see, thanks for the info. I figured that I might be able to find the answer in one of the later pages of the ROM's thread, but that it might also be heinously difficult to locate.

Can't be said enough: Don't ever install an OTA on a rooted Android device.
At a minimum, you will lose root. You may also be stuck in a bootloop, or you may get stuck on an unrootable firmware (depending on what they updated, and what holes they plugged).
If you are already rooted and bootloader unlocked, flash one of the stock rooted ROMs here under "Stock Rooted": http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237
Not sure what 1.88 was updated to. But 2.23, 2.29, 2.33 are all very recent firmware builds (2.23 is Asian region for the carrier Singtel). Only difference is the carrier bloat, and you may need to manually enter the APN info for your carrier.

If you are a noob, the best thing to do is read read read, and find out:
-What root and flashing ROMs means, and whether you will want them.
-What firmware number the new OTA is, and what has been changed.
People get all excited about a new OTA, without even knowing what has been changed. Newer firmwares include a new hboot, which patches holes which allowed flashing kernels and radios. You may not want to update.
Also, root and unlocked bootloader are both good things. There is really no reason to give them up, just for the latest firmware. If its just the newest firmware you want, as I already mentioned, there are stock rooted ROMs in the Development forum that you can flash, and probably in less steps than unrooting and installing the OTA.

Did you factory reset and wipe cache and Dalvik before flashing?
Come to think of it, that's one reason that people like OTAs, they keep your user data (but that can often be a bad thing, as I've seen it mess up the performance for some people after the OTA). Also, wiping data is not really that big a deal. With Titanium Backup Pro, I'm up and running again in about 20 minutes after wiping data and flashing a new ROM.
Can you still get into hboot and recovery?

Now, someone feel free to correct me. I do believe to get the JB OTA update, you'll have to RUU back to stock when you know the update has been pushed out. You're CID shouldn't matter in getting updates.

Probably correct. Root will either prevent you from getting the OTA notification altogether, or make the install fail (possibly even putting you into a bootloop, or stuck on the bootscreen). Likewise, unlocked bootloader will prevent the OTA from installing.
Moreover, I don't think the OP will get the OTA, since the phone is the US version, and not in the US. Probably need to download the RUU to get it at all.
And also, I would advise not installing any new OTA or RUU until folks on here have sorted out what it means to hboot, root, etc. They have plugged the root exploits for every firmware version to date, so I don't expect JB to be any different. Plus, I'll bet the JB firmware will be posted here on Development, in a safe, recovery-flashable, pre-rooted form. And probably soon after the OTA starts to hit. Maybe even before the OTA, if it gets leaked.

That is definitely not ok. Maximus is for the international One X (Tegra3 version). Completely different hardware. ROM won't work, and you might brick your phone.
Stay in the One X/XL forums that say "AT&T".

Also, just so you kow, JB has not started going out for our version of the One X. Only for the international version.
If there isn't a RUU for my phone, will it be possible for me to get the OTA update whenever it comes?
I have a backup of my stock rom, if I flash back to that when it's out will it be possible?

Stock ROM, and unrooted should be OK. But you will need to relock the bootloader too.
But I'd still just wait for the ROM to be posted in Development in a pre-rooted form, and just flash from recovery. Since you are on Telus, you will still be able to unlock the bootloader and root again (after an OTA). But why hassle with all the locking of the bootloader, returning to stock, etc.? JB will probably be posted here before you would get it OTA.
And for those on AT&T, I would definitely advise against accepting any OTA. Too many people rushed willy-nilly to accept the 2.20 OTA, then were on here complaining that they could no longer root (which for us also means no unlocked bootloader and no custom ROMs).

so ive tried all of the new jb sense roms. but i cant get wifi to stay on and i also cant remove the system apps. like google+.
other than that they just dont seem to be butter smooth.
I noticed there is an official ota update. so i figure all the developers will be focusing on these newer jb sense official based roms.
so it seems to be inevitable that i will need one as a daily driver.
I have the elemental kernal with initd.
I have flashed new 1.11 radio and the wifi partitions.
The wifi does seem to work a little better with the kernal but not when i need it the most. like when i have no 4g.
I am on 1.06 hboot still.
I was going to update but honestly i couldnt find proper instructions. I have the wrong cid for the one i tried to update with.
Then i kept finding all the things you cant do above 1.14 hboot.
My questions are.
Do i need the new hboot. or is there a good reliable way to get it running smooth on the 1.06.?
If so is there a link to some good instructions and a DL link? because i must keep looking passed it.
And if i upgrade, how impossible is it to downgrade? i swear i read you need linux.
Thanks.
I was on hboot 1.14 and basically sux cuz of limitation in flashing. So i successfully downgrade to 1.06. However 1.06 is buggy, now i'm on 1.09. ROM I use is ASBS along with Elemental-S-JB, Wifi Partition, and Sense Radio US 1.11t. I flash these all at one before rebooting the phone. Then i install Kernel Tuner. Phone is running at OC 1.8 and so far very smooth plus battery still good. Fully charge at 6:30am now 9:18am EST and only losing 9%. Power saver is off. Had no problem wifi issue or anything

It's hard to get into BL when power +vol down and took very long just to boot into BL or TWRP. I remember when I was on 1.14 and previous phone 1.09, it's faster compare to 1.06. No software to compare just with naked eyes.
To OP:
I removed some apk i do not need from the JB ROM. I use WinRar to delete the apk inside the zip. I'm a zero percentage with linux, but the guide is very step by step in downgrading Hboot. Just to remember, when copy&paste make sure to change "sd* " to your corresponding sd*. The OP quoted with sdc on the code.

Now that's i'm on "downgrade to 1.09 from 1.14", seem to be better than 1.06 and getting to BL & twrp recovery seem to be faster (power+vol down) too.

I just stick to 1.06 what's 2 seconds when the downgrade has save me loads of time.
does anyone know if updating the hboot will fix the bugs assosiated with the new sense jb roms?
usually once theres an official update the roms run perfect so i wont have to worry about installing another ics rom.
the rom i likes before was one maximus, just works everytime. big fan of energy since the hd2 but i could never get wifi working on that either.
You know. looking back, all the apps i removed actually removed. except google plus. hmmm.
Maybe ill remove it in winrar like said before. i assume you need to remove more than just the apk though. guess thats another thread though.
As far as JB and Sense goes, I think we'll have to wait for the kernel source before we start seeing jb sense roms that works smooth and good. Alt. wait for HTC to release OTA updates..
My suggestion is to stick with ICS if you want sense, or an AOSP rom like cm10 if you want JB, for now.
I heard(well, read, if we are to be picky ) somewhere that the JB kernel from HTC blocks all write access to /system/, regardless of being root or not (retarded move, if you ask me).
So if thats true, the only way to remove system apps is to remove them from the rom image before flashing ...
Removing the .apk's from /system/apps should be enough.

Em what we have full root and can delete stuff from system.
myphonesbetter, I use WinRar myself and find it a better way of removing stuff.

Yah i could delete some things but some things wont delete. like google plus. and i think google plus is installed by goo.im or whatever. so i cant delete it from the zip file.
And I was under the impression that we had the official ota update. guess not. ill wait a little longer.
But we have jb ota since Xmas. Maybe you meant ruu jb.
BTW I updated my hboot and never had any issue (WiFi....) with any ROM based on htc jb.
