[Q] Wondering about Hboot recommendations for CM rom - General Questions and Answers

Hey guys,
Im a fob at android developing so apologies in advance for noob questions
If any one of you could help me on this issue I am having that would be great :fingers-crossed:
I have a HTC EVO 3D (Rogers-gsm) it is rooted but not s-off. Before I do s-off it I was wondering if I accepted the hboot offered by the JPBear tool (I shall use this to s-off), would it make it more compatible with Cyanogenmod 10.1? This is because I am running the bootloader 1.53.0007 ICS and the op of this thread: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2108195) says specifically to not use ICS.
All links for downloads for downgrading my hboot are broken. But would I even need to downgrade to GB?
Or would it only minimally hamper the functionality of this rom?
Thanks a ton guys.

[Q] Flash a ROM with HTC Official unlock

I was planning to install CM7.1, then realised that the update from HTC changed the HBOOT along with the Sense 3.0 update. But apparently the bootloader can be unlocked officially by HTC.
Question is, how do I install a custom ROM with this method? I'm assuming you need to install CWMR, which needs root. Then use that to flash the ROM. Can anyone who has used this method tell me exactly how it's done on the Desire S?
Help is really appreciated, thank you.

You would be a lot better off reading the sticky posts in this forum and searching for the answers yourself. With the locked bootloader 2.00.0002 you have 2 options that could pursue.

Sorry I would not of made this topic if i understood this, I can you please explain the options please.
1) downgrade to an older version that is supported to S-OFF by Revolutionary via RUU
2) unlock your bootloader at htcdev.com, flash custom recovery then custom ROM, and finally its kernel separately
the words in ITALIC are the ones that you can search on, and know what they mean as well before starting doing anything to your phone

Hi,
First you must s-off HERE
For the recovery,use 5.0.2.0 HERE
Then ,get your ROM HERE
And use this guide HERE
A lot of work.
A lot of reading.
Do not skip ANY steps.
Read carefully,and you should be OK.
quick answer - there isn't an official ICS RUU yet, only beta ones
Can't go S-OFF. I'm on HBOOT 1.23, which is unsupported from revolutionary.
There is no official RUU? I thought HTC had released an Official RUU?!
Are there any beta RUU's?
Beta RUUs are in the Shipped-ROMs thread but come with HBOOT 1.27.0000 which you still can't S-OFF - you need to wait for Revolutionary to udpate to get S-OFF
I'm not able to flash an ICS Beta RUU?
My Sensation only have to run, I would like to sell it.
Can't sell it when it's broken x.x
And you can't sell it on a beta RUU either!!! That's just lying to get a sell!
I know.
But I will only that my phone works, maybe I can update in in a while to original and THAN I can sell it
or maybe, I can use it myself! That would be great.
But for now , there's no boot and no function.. I can't use my Sensation!

[Q] Will T-Mobile UK update our phones to ICS?

Hi,
I normally do not like to start this kind of thread but I am getting a bit frustrated by T-mobile UK. My Sensation is full of known bugs and I wish that ICS will solve them.
Does anybody know if T-mobile UK will ever release ICS for the Sensation?
Do we know when that would be?
Sorry if it's a stupid question but I could not find anything on the web about it and T-Mobile could not help me either.

Hi Damien
If you are still on sense 3, your Hboot should still be on 1.18 or 1.17. If I were you I would get reading and S-off your phone and flash custom roms. Loads of fun as I am currently running Ordroid with sense 4. The guides are easy to follow!
ONCE T-mobile update your phone to ICS your Hboot will be on 1.27 and then your stuck on S-on (Unless you do hardware S-off's but cant be reversed) or until Revolutionary supports the 1.27 Hboot.
Just my opinion...
