Hboot 2.21 for k2_ul - HTC One SV

Hboot 2.21 is the same for k2_u and k2_ul.
Im replaced Hboot 2.21 from k2_u and it works great in my k2_ul

What is difference between hoot 2.21 and 2.0?

I think 2.0 is for 4.1.2 and 2.21 is for 4.2.2

Bouth work with 4.2.2, I now use 2.0 with 4.2.2 and before I was using 2.2.1.
Didn't notice any difference, so I wondering what did I miss.

Almost anything changed, partition layout is the same, maybe some other improvements to fit 4.2.2 version as it comes with it.

Where can I get hboot 2.21 from?
I did the upgrade to 4.2.2 via the TWRP backup. The firmware file from the corresponding thread does not include hboot.

[Q] difference between hboot versions

Dears,
Sorry for the silly question but i haven't enough experience in this field
what is the difference between hboot version 0.98.2000 and 2.00.002 and 7.xxx
i have htc desire s with s-off and hboot 0.98.2000 , is there a need to upgrade ?? and what will be the benefits and disadvantages ?
sorry alot , and thanks in advance
AW: [Q] difference between hboot versions
The hboots based on the 2.00.0002 (2.00.2002 and 7.00.1002) have an extra partition (split from the /cache partition) for /system/lib. Most custom Roms ignore this partition, so that they work on any hboot version, but some ROMs require one of these hboots (this would always be stated in the op).
2.02.0002 is the hboot version that came with the ics ruu, and has a different partition number for the extra partition.
Many thanks for your illustration , i really got the point
so for me as indicated above for my boot version , i have already installed ViperSaga_2.1.3 ROM and working fine for me , this is to ensure that there is no need to upgrade my hboot version ,, am i right ??
AW: [Q] difference between hboot versions
Yes, that's correct. When you choose to install a new Rom, remember to check whether it needs a new hboot version (if it doesn't say anything you can assume it will work with any hboot).
Or you could install a newer hboot (2.00.2002 or 7.00.1002) next time you change Rom anyway, then you won't need to worry about it any more.

I would recommend changing your hboot from revolutionary.0.98 to say the 7.xxx as there seems to be some issues in the revolutionary.0.98 not clearing data properly during a wipe affecting things like wifi etc.

Big thanks , i will proceed in upgrading my hboot
7.xxx is revolutionary version of 2.00.2002 with number higher than (revolutionary s-off) 6.xx so that you could easily flash it via fastboot. If you have 0.98 then you can flash 2.00.2002 shipped with official ics update. Some say that 7.xx have some issues with fastboot commands, with 2.00.2002 everything work just fine.
To be precise You wil not boot Sense 4 roms when using hboot 0.98 and 6.xx.

No, 2.00.2002 is basically the same as 7.00.1002, main difference is the version number. They're both based on 2.00.0002, which came with the ota/ruu s starting 2.x. The ics ruu came with 2.02.0002.
Edit: that's also not correct. Most sense 4 roms work with any hboot version.

The partition only really makes a difference in odexed roms i believe.

AW: [Q] difference between hboot versions
Well, odexed roms take more space on /system, which is why thantos2024 moved /system/lib to the new partition, to have enough space on /system.
I want to upgrade my HBoot. Not sure which version to go with, what are the benefits of 7.00.1002 over 2.00.002 or 2.02.0002? Will it make my phone S-ON if I do? I only use Andromadus AOSP and that doesn't require either of these HBoots but I'd rather upgrade just in case I use something in the future that requires either of them.
If you're s-off you can upgrade to either 7.00.1002 or 2.00.2002 (which are practically the same).
HBOOTs 2.00.002 and 2.02.0002 are the ones that came with ruus, the only way to install them (if there were any point) is to flash an RUU (and make your phone s-on).

Okay, so flashing 2.00.2002 will work and won't disturb my S-OFF? I want to be absolutely sure before I do it.
If you're on 0.98.x, yes. If you're on 6.98.x, it won't update because of the version number (you can still flash 2.00.2002 using the 'dd if= of=' method) .

How to Downgrade JB 4.1.2 to ICS 4.0.4

Htc One SV How to Downgrade JB 4.1.2 to ICS 4.0.4?
Please and thanks!
I never did, but in short (i think this way should work):
Get S-Off, extract hboot 1.00 from ICS Ruu (with Linux), flash 1.00 hboot to your phone and i think then you should be able to flash the whole ICS Ruu.

Hboot 2.15 - 2.16

In the new KitKat unofficial versions of Cyanogenmod there are versions with hboot 2.15 and 2.16.
Are there any advantages/differences between the HBOOT versions, except that you can flash different sense (sense4/5) roms on top of this?
For example battery consumption or something else.

Hi,
I am not sure about the Hboot version at all.
I am using EU S4 with 2.15 Hboot
I use MaximusHD - JB 4.2 with Sense 5
When I tried CM it worked fine but the GUI is lame...
Can I combine CM with sense 5 together somehow?
(BTW - recovery should be CWM, the others caused bootloops after flashing ROMs)
Thanks

It's only recently that this has happened, so I don't think there are any obvious differences with running the same ROM on different hboot versions. As the ROM's become more stable we will be able to see if there are any differences. The new 2.16 hboot has a different partition layout which allocates more space for apps. That is generally not the reason people have upgraded, it's because the 2.16 hboot is required to install MaximusHD ROM.

Using MaximusHD means you updated the firmware, you're on 2.16 hboot.
I am afraid you are not correct

Yes I did,
One thing - when I connect USB cable I can see only 2 GB storage.
I don't think it is related to the S-on thing, probably can be fixed with repartitioning or something...
BTW
I am not very satisfied with the level of battery consamption but I don't believe it has anything to do with S on or off.
Everything else is great. sense 5 is way better than sense 4+

for running MaximusHD properly its mandantory to be S-OFF and running TWRP2.6.1. Than u got more then 11 GB Memory
Hi Guys,
Couple of questions:
- If you update from Hboot 2.15 to 2.16, do you have to flash a ROM immediately afterwards? or will the Phone boot from current ROM?
- I know you can flash 2.15 ROM's to 2.16 Hboot when you flash boot.img afterwards. Is there a way to flash a 2.16 ROM to 2.15 Hboot?
I'd like to try a ROM that's for 2.16 but i'd rather stay at 2.15 I think.
Thanks for the help.
