[HBOOT] Engineering Bootloader For Extended Fastboot Commands
I'd post there but I don't have enough posts to post in a dev section yet.
Can I use TWRP to flash this Hboot? I flashed it by renaming and putting on root of sd. Tried to install update from twrp but didn't work, seemed to do nothing
Isn't that flashing a recovery from a recovery? No, it's a recovery flashing a Hboot
Thanks in advance for the help.
Hboot is not a recovery, its a bootloader. Its the engineering bootloader. It has some extra options that the revolution does dosent. I flashed it just so I know I have an official one. Just follow the directions in the thread and you won't have any problems.
ah k. so it's the hboot that loads the recovery then
It's safe to do from TWRP?
It allows for advanced fastboot commands such as flashing splash screens and such...

Hi there..
My friend asking me to S-Off his Evo LTE when i check his firmware is already 2.13.651.1 plus with Locked Bootloader and H-Boot 1.19, my question is can i S-Off it..?? cause i read Lazypanda only for H-Boot 1.13
Can i use RUU JEWEL CL ICS 40 Sprint WWE 1.13.651.1 Radio 1.02.12.0427 NV SPCS 2.28 003 to have H-Boot 1.13 ...??
or is there another way to Root & install CWM or TWRP on this condition ...??
Cheers
You have to unlock bootloader and flash twrp with fastboot. You can use Regawmod but people have been having issues with it. If you go to HTC Dev and sign up the instructions are pretty well written. When you finish unlocking download twrp from the TeamWin website and flash it just like unlock_code.bin but type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img or whatever the image file is named. Then flash a rom. The kernel has to be installed separately or you can use a rom with a kernel installer like meanrom

So that mean without S-Off, i still can to flash twrp and flash a custom kernel...?? Thx
Yes, there is flash gui, fastboot, and htc dumlock. Some roms like mean have a kernel installer built in

Hello. I have a GSM Evo 3d, 1.53.0007 hboot (unlocked via HTC Dev), after that S-OFF via JBEAR, now I'm on stock hboot locked with S-OFF. After that I can't install 4Ext. When I use fastboot i got info remote: not allowed (I supose that this is because I'm S-ON). Can I flash 4Ext directly in hboot? Does any1 have this recovery as a PG86IMG.ZIP? Or is there any other way to flash it? Cheers

JBear will leave the bootloader locked which will prevent most fastboot commands from running if you didn't choose the JuopunutBear bootloader when prompted by controlbear. If you don't have "JuopunutBear" at the top of your bootloader you can download the JBear custom bootloader for your phone and Android version (GB or ICS) from the unlimted.io website and install it using the instructions on that site, then you should be able to run the fastboot commands needed for flashing.

There's 2 simple ways to do this, depending on whether you want jb hboot or not.
Regardless of whether you want it or not, download the correct hboot for your device from here: http://unlimited.io/downloads/hboots/
If you want to change your hboot from ***LOCKED*** to =Juopunutbear= :
then rename your recovery image to "recovery.img" & drag-and-drop the recovery.img file onto jb_hboot.zip to add it to the zip
Then, use the commands given here to flash it: http://unlimited.io/jbhboots.htm
If you want to keep your hboot as ***LOCKED*** :
then rename your recovery image to "recovery.img" & drag-and-drop the recovery.img file onto jb_hboot.zip to add it to the zip
Open the jb_hboot.zip file & delete the .nb0 file that might have a long name (something like"hboot_....nb0"
Then, use the commands given here to flash it: http://unlimited.io/jbhboots.htm
I've flashed Jbear hboot, everything works like a charm. Restoring my backup now. Thanks for fast answers.

Can I use the same method to flash only bootloader (official 1.53.0007). This is what i thought about: extract hboot from ruu (hboot_SHR_U_1.53.0007_20120522_signedbyaa.nb0), add this to archive with android-info.txt and then use the same commands when I was flashing jbear hboot? Can I downgrade bootloader to 1.49.0007 using this method and will this hboot work well with ICS?
Hi, I recently got a rezound off ebay to replace a broken galaxy nexus. I'm still S-On, cause I can't find the windows software anymore to walk you through it, but I'm htcdev unlocked and rooted. I've tried to install a few different roms, and they flash fine, but trying to flash the boot.img is where I keep getting stuck. The only 2 ways I know how to do it are through fastboot and through hboot as a ph98img file.
In fastboot, the first time I try to flash it, I get a failure message. If I try it again right after, it gets stuck sending the file to the phone and I have to unplug, pop the battery out and restart.
In hboot, it goes through it's thing, then for a second when it should be flashing, it says "parsing," and then goes through the rest of it's thing and nothing happens.
Any ideas? Thanks for any help, and I'm sorry if this has been covered... I've been searching for a few days now and can't find anything similar.
If you're s-off you shouldn't need to fastboot or go through a ph98img.
I'm sorry... that shoulda said S-On. I'll edit the OP.

I find that the easiest way to flash a ROM is to do
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot recoveryname.img
Wipe
Flash ROM
Reboot
Enjoy
By booting into your custom recovery through fastboot, you are essentially in temporary "S-Off" mode so you can flash a ROM without the need to manually flash the boot.img
Of course, if you boot into recovery normally, you will need to do
fastboot flash boot boot.img
But that seems to be giving you problems.

Interesting... I'll definitely try that method. Thanks!
When I go to flash the recovery through fastboot, it's still freezing the same way it froze when I tried to flash the boot.img file. Seems I have a fastboot issue. I don't know how to begin to fix this. Any help? Thanks in advance!
Info would be greatly appreciated; please reply with all the version #'s you see in the upper left of hboot.

To me it sounds like its not allowing remote communications, may need to start using ph98img zips. :/

So I recently tried installing MidnightRom Jellybean on my EVO but got stuck on the Beats audio Logo Screen. I cant do anything except go to CWM v5.8.0.1 Recovery Menu and HBOOT Screen... Later figured out MNJB Doesn't work on 1.58 HBOOT
So I need to return it back to stock or something?
The RUU Program doesnt launch on my computer and i have drivers installed
Please Redirect me to a thread with similar Postings if possible

you should always make a nandroid backup of your current rom before flashing a new one so you can return if anything goes wrong. right now there are a couple of choices you can make. you can either flash a rom which works with your hboot or you can RUU back to stock.
If you want to run an RUU then you need to relock your bootloader first. boot into fastboot and type "fastboot oem lock" in cmd. then run RUU.
if you wish to install a different rom then first of all change your recovery to 4ext
extract zip file and flash recovery.img like you flashed cwm recovery. then boot into recovery and turn on smartflash in options (this is important as you are s-on. this will flash boot.img for you)
after that wipe everything except sdcard and flash a sense based rom
I don't think you can run ruu. 1.58 hboot is from the latest update, and afaik the ruu will only work on phones that did not take that update, unless you were s off.
You need to flash a stock Rom such as harmonia.
You may need to flash boot.IMG through fastboot to get out of bootloop.
And yes, you should definitely install 4ext recovery, and make sure smartflash is enabled

i tried flashing recovery...
i tried flashing recovery but cwm stayed it wont change
Make sure the 4ext recovery.IMG is the only recovery.IMG in your SDK tools folder.
Other than that, I can't help

I'm guilty of just asking "are you s-off" too, but this isn't actually sufficient. Users need to be s-off AND either unlocked or using the engineered bootloader to be able to flash boot images through recovery. Some users might be s-off but have locked bootloaders and stock hboot if they ran an RUU at some point after going s-off. To the best of my knowledge, this tree summarizes what users can do in each state:
State of Phone: flashing capabilities
S-ON and Locked: none
S-ON and Unlocked: can flash recovery and boot images through fastboot only
S-OFF, Locked, and Stock HBOOT: can flash recovery and boot images through fastboot only (need to verify if this is even possible)
S-OFF, Locked, and Unlimited.io HBOOT: can flash recovery and boot images through either fastboot or recovery
S-OFF, Unlocked, and Stock HBOOT: can flash recovery and boot images through fastboot only (need to verify if flashing boot image through recovery is possible)
S-OFF, Unlocked, and Unlimited.io HBOOT: can flash recovery and boot images through either fastboot or recovery

I can confirm that stock hboot and s off flashes kernels fine for me, reason for me on stock hboot, most sense 5 ports end up killing my phone to a state where recovery is unreachable, this is my procedure if you wanna check:
I leave bootloader unlocked
Fastboot OEM rebootruu
Fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
Then fastboot reboot-bootloader
And finally fastboot flash recovery twrp.IMG
Then I restore nandroid
