[Q] Is there a RUU for HBOOT 1.27.1100

Hello,
my HTC SENSATION has the HBOOT Version 1.27.1100 and I want to download a RUU to restore my HTC device completely. But I can´t find a RUU with this HBOOT version.
I only have to download the right RUU and install it on my HTC device to restore it completely, right?

Hey malybru can you flash this file with the stock recovery? Also this only changes the Hboot version correct?

Hi,
It's a PG58IMG.zip .
So, it's just placed on the sd card.
Recovery is not involved.
Yes,it will only change the hboot.

Man I had a duh money, I realized after I posted that that that file will flash automatically when you boot to Hboot, as that is the file name that Hboot looks for. But still doesn't Hboot use the recovery to flash the file?

Hi,
I knew you knew that.
I just posted for general information.
I think it flashes in bootloader,before recovery starts.

Ok this will be my last post here cause I don't want to hyjack this thread.
This has brought a question to mind and I will have to see if I can find the answer some how. The question is what does Hboot use to flash the PG58IMG.zip. I personally have always thought it used recovery to flash the file.

It uses the bootloader to flash the file. If you put it on your sd card and reboot into bootloader (volume down button + power button) you will be asked to update. Choose yes using the volume buttons and the file will be flashed, easy as that

When you install a rom by a RUU, it will also flash the stock Hboot version. Take a look at the shipped roms thread.

Hboot 1.27 is clearly ICS.
Download official RUU from here (RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_HTC_Europe_3.32.401.5_Radio_11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M_release_246089_signed)
This is the latest official ICS RUU for unbranded Europe Sensation.
If your device is branded or your region is not Europe then search for the appropriare RUU.
Run the exe from pc with phone usb plugged. It will restore your phone as "out of the box".
Hope it helped.

Man I really don't understand any of this lol......... I'm just gonna ask a few questions and you guys can either respond or not....
1) I am on stock ICS, rooted, with HTC Dev Unlocked and using Clockwork. If I wanted to un-root, remove clockwork and re-lock the Hboot... How would that go exactly? 1.27.0000 etc...
2) I don't understand why getting S-Off is so difficult. If one would simply downgrade from ICS to GB, wouldn't that change the Hboot version to a lower one, and then you would be able to use the Revolutionary way? Or is that not possible to do? Or does the downgrade not affect the Hboot?
3) Which Custom ROM am I able to flash at the moment? Any, based on ICS?

Hi,
1. I think that you can just run the RUU in the post above yours.(If your phone is European)
2.Downgrading is not possible on hboot 1.27.000
HTC have locked you out of this possibility.
3.As you say.Any 3.32. based ICS ROM.

It can be done only by running corresponding RUU which can be found based on your firmware(in your case it is 3.32) and cid (to get cid "fastboot getvar cid")...if you are unbranded i.e. cid is HTC__001..then you can run the above mentioned ruu...or else you should get the appropriate one...if you can't find it then post your cid along with radio..we can find the appropriate one for you
2) I don't understand why getting S-Off is so difficult. If one would simply downgrade from ICS to GB, wouldn't that change the Hboot version to a lower one, and then you would be able to use the Revolutionary way? Or is that not possible to do? Or does the downgrade not affect the Hboot?

If you are S-ON you can't downgrade...not by running a RUU or by flashing firmware directly...that's why people use revolutionary first to get soff and then they'll flash unlocked firmware to update the hboot and all...
It you are SOFF you can literally do anything ..upgrade, downgrade..its your choice..
3 ) Which Custom ROM am I able to flash at the moment? Any, based on ICS?

As you are unlocked via HTC dev..if you update your recovery with 4EXT latest one which has smartflash mode ON(exclusive SON flash)..you could have any ROM

[Q] HBOOT 2.15 killing me...

*** WHAT MY PROBLEM IS***
PLEASE can someone confirm any AOSP ROM that works with 2.15 HBOOT?
***WHAT I KNOW***
( i know the CM 10.2 thread says that RUU 3.18 which will make the hboot 2.14 but since 2.15 is latest i assume it should support)
(i also know that [HBOOT 2.15 is essential for SENSE 5 4.2.2 to run,i believe that's the only reason people go for 2.15)
***WHAT I HAVE TRIED***
NOW from what i have tried is that the 1st stable cm 10 release doesn't work with 2.15 (obviously too old build) my screen also became responsive(i believe that because of touch panel firmware) then with the latest stable release of cm 10.1 it specified that it needs hboot 2.14 and hence couldn't flash.
with PAC 4.3 it does gets installed but screen is unresponsive and infinite bootloops!:silly:
***WILL THIS WORK***
so now if i RUU 3.18 i will have to unlock boot loader and root it (M SOFF SUPER CID) which i m not really ready to do!
now there are methods that can help u downgrade/upgrade your firmware , can i do that?
also will using torched kernel help in me in any way?
***WHY DO I WANT AOSP***
Viper XL 4.2.2 best ROM ever hats off but the thing is i dont know why but i have Signal issues i tried flashing the recommended RADIO version.
since the vendor had already RUUd my device that was meant from some ASIAN region and already came with SENSE 5 and i dint mess up with it in any way still i had signal issues (which are unpredictable) i found by GSAM BATTERY monitor that around 30 to 40% of my battery is consumed by RADIO.
also the best signal is around -81db
i also had some issues with camera!
and then there is the numerous options i can have with AOSP.
****LASTLY CAN ANYONE HELP****
:angel:

Just RUU. Your bootloader will remain unlocked and your S-OFF will remain
After the RUU you can flash recovery and flash a rom. You can technically just flash the 2.14 firmware.zip by extracting it from an OTA or an RUU, but easier to just ruu. and you get a nice clean wipe too.

I misread the m soff part sorry. You could have just run the ruu and twrp and been done in the time it took you to write that post.

jus for the sake for reassurance:
after RUU:
will Bootloader remain Unlocked?
will it still be SOFF?
and SUPERCID?
so these things will survive the RUU?

the easiest way is to extract firmware.zip from a 3.17/3.18 ota file for your carrier.

I wouldn't mess with extracting the firmware files from the OTAs manually. If one of the hboot modules is missing, a brick can result. The OP is probably OK, since he has already manually updated to hboot 2.15. But RUU is still seems the safest way.

thanks in advice

If it's the at&t model, click redpoint's Resource Compilation thread in my signature, navigate to the root section and find the appropriate method for your current software/firmware. If your phone is not an at&t model just go to htcdev.com and unlock your bootloader. Read the Evita FAQ and How-To Guide For Beginners threads in my signature too, they're full of information you need.

some questions come to me:
this will delete the unlocked bootloader, super cid, or twrp?
i read that if you are super cid, and apply a ruu you will brick the device...no chance of brick with this?

It goes like this:
S-on + SuperCID + jb RUU = brick
S-off + SuperCID + jb RUU = no brick
Basically you're fine because you're s-off. The RUU returns your phone to a stock state which includes ROM, recovery, and firmware. Your unlocked bootloader and s-off status will survive the process though. All you need to do afterwards is flash TWRP again, flash the 2.15 firmware, and you'll be good to go.

Other ways to S-OFF besides using Juopunutbear

My HBOOT version is 1.27. For some reason I can't seem to successfully get passed installing the required stock Sense ROM that Juopunutbear requires. Is there any other possible way for to S-OFF if I am on a Kit Kat ROM? Any tools that can S-OFF?
Forgot to add that I am HTC Dev unlocked.

No you need to relock your bootloader to flash RUU , but don't worry after you s-off you will flash 3.33 firmware and that will ulock you bootloader and after that flash recovery and do what you wanna do..
Btw why do you need to s-off?

You can't flash a custom firmware while s-on (it's the reason htc named this state s-on). There's simply no way unless you can pull off JTAG and sh**.
You can get 3.33.xxx.xxx via RUU (only after locking bootloader), but you can't flash 3.33 universal otherwise. If you want to switch carriers, you gotta s-off man.

you can also use the flashable stock rom to install it from recovery

Upgrading my hboot???

Hello all, here is my situation.
I recently purchased two used HTC One X phones. After a bit of research, I found out that they are actually the international version, the XL or Evita as they also go by. This is not a problem to me. I struggled getting them to take custom ROMs and I was finally able to get Cyanogenmod 10.0 installed. They are working great as is, however I would like to be able to update further, as there are a couple very minor bugs. Whenever I try to install an update through clockwordmod recovery, I always get a bootloader error. The number is spits out is 2.14, which I know is a never version of hboot. So, my question is, should I update my hboot (currently in 1.14.0002) to 2.14 in order to install newer versions of Cyanogenmod? If so, can you please provide detailed step by step instructions, or link me to a forum that does? Thank you.

Ok, firstly it isn't the hboot you need to update, it's the firmware. It just happens that the firmware contains the hboot, and the hboot version is what's used by the ROM installer to tell whether you've updated or not. First thing you'll need to do is get s-off, that's required for flashing the firmware.

Okay, thanks. Yeah I'm aware you can't get boot without a firmware update. Will 2.14 allow me to update to cyanogenmod 11?

Yes it will but getting that firmware requires you to run an RUU, which also requires s-off, and is a lot harder than just flashing the firmware package.

Flashed the right boot.img (somehow had the wrong one) now back in boot loop again. Any ideas? I did have to change my CID because I did not turn on debugging for ADB. Would that have something to do with it?
