only if you downgrade your hboot to 2.10 or 2.11, and to do that you must be aware of what else you have to do in order for that to function correctly with the rom you're using and radios installed on your phone. It may or may not be worth the effort, depending on your comfort level.
if you flash the boot they gave you it will say something different

Ok so I've had this question forever and I'm not sure its ever been addressed.
I rooted via revolutionary so I have s off.
for whatever reason I decided I wanted to have h boot 1.5.
I know about the kernel dilemma with hboot 1.5.
Does anyone if that would still affect me even with s off?
Does anyone have a link to unit 1.4 that I can try and flash through recov?
Thanks guys,
RJ

I really want to know what possessed you to want hboot 1.5
What benefit is there to flashing hboot 1.5?

There is no benefit. Its locked down so there is absolutely no reason to upgrade unless you don't like having root access.

If you ever wanted the newer hboot version (I don't see why anyone would ever want it) you could flash it but I don't know if it will keep S-Off. If it does, it will be locked so you might have to use HTC unlock to get the features of S-Off. Even then, you might still have to flash kernels via fastboot.
TLDR: Don't flash HBOOT 1.50.
Wanna trade phones? I've got 1.5 and I really wish I didn't.

Haha because 1.5 is obviously a bigger number than 1.4 right!? The bigger the number the cooler you are. Example you have 1.4 million dollars I have 1.5 million dollars. I'm living large. End of story
Um... Yeah I have s off with 1.5 so idk

No need to get pissy, I was simply asking if you think there are any advantages of having the 1.5 hboot over the 1.4 or the ENG hboot. I mean, there are no new featrues. In fact, if you wanted all of the hboot features, then the ENG hboot is your best bet.

So basically the only reason htc updates its hboot is to keep phones locked?

Ah, good to know. It can be rather difficult to convey and understand sarcasm on the internet, especially on these forums. Anyways, as long as you have S-OFF, that's all that matters. However, if you want all the features possible, you want the ENG hboot. Haus has a thread on how to install it in the dev forums.
I did what you did, had 1.40 and flashed the wrong update, got 1.50 LOCKED with S-off. You can still flash ROMs and Kernels with no issues. I just had to reload TWRP recovery. Then I flashed the 1.40 Bootloader and all was well.
You can grab 1.40 and flash from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192306&highlight=eng+bootloader
***To others reading this...do not flash this, unless you are S-OFF with 1.50 hboot***
You do not need to UNLOCK using the htcdev method. Just flash the 1.40 hboot and you will be fine.

So if they want to keep the phones locked, why release an official bootloader unlock method?

They release an official unlock method that still gives them some control. For example, you can't flash a different hboot or a different radio on their unlock method.
What type of features are you talking about? Are you saying 1.4 h-boot over 1.3 adds extras to the phone?

Can u not flash new radios via fastboot like kernels? Always wondered that part.
Also if you can't then how do you get the new radios when they r released?
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
Zips that flash boot images and zImages are attached. Just put the boot image or zImage in the kernel folder inside the zip and flash.

Hey con, now that we are getting s off, has anyone pulled the radios from the different updates? Think the latest radios are causing a lot of my increased temps on the phone.

No this in not the S-off method. This is just something you are able to use once you gain s-off. Check the general section for the s-off method.

What exactly are these? what do they do? edit:nevermind, i figured it out
Is this to replace the HTC image?
You can drop a boot image into it and it will flash it via recovery. It is more of a template/reference for rom/kernel devs now that we have S-OFF. However, it can work for the end user if you put your boot image inside it.
Hey Con,
I'm running stock GB. What command would I use to make a copy of my boot.img in case I Bork my s-off attempt?
Thanks in advance.
Edit...Never mind I got a copy from scottsroms.com
I used to be a developer like you. Then I took an arrow in the knee...
So here's the lowdown. I am rooted and SuperSU installed, however I was hoping to get S-OFF using LazyPanda. I keep getting the "can not find the panda" error?? Anyone know how to get around this? Any help would be greatly appreciated! :good:

There's a way to downgrade it back to the old one on infected forums, and you can get s-off after that.
