Do I need to upgrade my hboot? - HTC Desire S

I'm currently on rooted stock 2.3.5 (s-off) and would like to try some of the newer Jellybean roms. My hboot is 6.98.1002. Do I need a newer one such as 7.00.2002?
If so are there any specific issues with upgrading? I've looked and searched but doesn't seem to be much info on going from 6.98.1002 to 7.00.2002.
Thanks

Nope, u don't have to update. Unless u wanna go onto sense ROM. hboot 6.x is write protected and when booted into sense ROM, u will have a boot loop

It write protected from RUU. He can install any ROM that does not need separate lib partition. This means all existing except Official MIUI 4, the Stock one by Scanob and the test Desire XS RC1

Do I really need the new hboot 2.00.2002, when I already have 6.98.1002 on my S-Off device?

But you are able to run the new one and any old ROM as well as the new ones
I figure that newer might be be better
No problems so far

[ROM]RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.14_Radio_32.49.00 .32U_5.11.05.27_release

Here new Froyo RUU for Desire
http://www.filefactory.com/file/c04...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_224699_signed.exe
Enjoy!
is there any change-log about this??..or only a new radio??
Is it true? and any change log?
Or just the radio upgrade?
could someone upload a rooted version pls?
Wouldn't this be part of HTC removing the patents they lost against apple? HTC are ment to be releasing new updates for all phones.
And then again.. Why would they release a new update of froyo when Gingerbread was released?
This makes no sense?

in fact it makes sense kinda cos they never did release ota ginger. the last official for the desire its still the froyo and the ginger ruu was only for developers and not officialy supported.

No, I don't remember seeing that as I didn't run that ruu. But - I do remember reading the License agreement which clearly states this:
Is this the official update for HTC Desire to Gingerbread?
Yes, this is the official update for HTC Desire to Gingerbread.

Bravo Oxygen r2.
Website has two confusing explanation:
1. "Downgrade protection, these HBOOTs cannot be overwritten by an OTA or RUU, unless you flash a downgrader HBOOT first."
2. "Will my phone stay S-OFF forever?
Yes and no. As soon as you decide to flash a stock RUU that has a HBOOT update in it, this hacked HBOOT will be overwritten."

Ok thanks. When I flashed HBOOT, there was no downgrader on website. Maybe I don't need downgrade. But I will do anyway as you suggested.
I have Galaxy Note now, I want to sell this. That's why I need stock.
Thanks
The radio is old, we have it already

Unrooting sensation india

Hboot 1.18.0000
Rom 1.52.720.3
S ON
Cid HTC 038
I want to flash ics based arhd like roms.After that can i unroot and claim warranty by flashing 1.45.720.1 ruu for india above ics without bricking.?
Sorry for being like noob becoz am new to htc
Nobody have experience in flashing stock gb over custom ics.?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using Tapatalk 2
to flash the ARHD you need the 3.32 fw which is the ics one and then if you want warranty back you just need to run a RUU from your pc...there are a lot of guides out there that teach how to unroot....

Possible to downgrade using ruu from gb

Well i want to go back to stock gb and i am with s on and curently with 3.32 firmware. I was trying to flash any 3.6 sense rom and it doesnt boot past splash screen so i can s off.
I was trying to install the latest gb ruu with no success so i was wondering if what i was trying to do would work?

Hi,
You cannot flash firmware or radio if you are s-on.
Running a GB RUU will not work either.
You can flash ics and jb roms while you are s-on. Look for Asskicker's guide under general forum ("flashing roms with s-on..." )
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e
I know how to flash roms im just trying to get back to gb.
Any rom that i flash that is based off the stock based 3.32 ruu sense 3.6 will not boot for some reason and i have seen other people have the same problem.
The juoponut bear s off requires to be on a stock based 3.32 ruu to be able to get s off
But the official 3.32 ruu should work right?

Any news about sense 5
is this a full stock rom or do you need the ICS 2.35 RUU first before running this if you want to go back to stock? The DL is about 700 MB so I surely hope it's the whole thing otherwise, that's a bit bloated for an update...lol

Hi I have a quick question. Was there something about flashing this RUU that would break the S-off exploit? Meaning if we used this RUU, we would no longer be able to S-off?

I haven't heard of anything about that but I haven't really read much about it either. For me S-off isn't a big deal. it makes things more convenient but isn't necessary. Really only affects updating radios and blackbox partitions. As long as I got access to recovery and system, I'm fine.

For me, I don't need to re-lock my BL since my CID is T-Mobile.. I just ran RUU and everything successfully plus i'm still S-off and my BL is still unlock After that I just fastboot flash recovery TWRPv2.3.3.0.img
I have superCID, s-off and unlocked boot loader and was able to run the RUU without any issues.
Is this a full Official ROM? What does this update provide? I cannot find any information on Tmobile.com for this update.

Mkinney88s ROM and my ROM have the same base as this RUU. This RUU is a bit older than the WWE ROMs that are out though...like ViperOneS...its based on 3.16, and the T-Mobile version is 3.14...but they are both JB...I suggest using the 3.16 bases unless you are T-Mobile US.
