Thinking of changing Hboot to 1.58 to run newer ICS ROM's but would like to have 1.40 Hboot just in case I ever need to go back. Where can we get the older Hboots? Radios and firmware are all over but no older Hboot downloads?

I was coming from CM9 Devil's Toast and trying to update to 7.2. it was freezing at startup. eventually i was able to reload my older cm version. at this point in time i was on hboot 1.04 s-off eng and the older radio... .09 or something. I pulled he firmware zip from Android Revolution HD 2.00 and since i have gotten endless bootloops no matter what i've done. i've tried flashing stock kernal through 4ext using the stock_kernal.zip from the sticky. i've tried reloading 2 different back ups and 3 new roms... all i get is endless boot loop ... please someone, anyone have a suggestion?
Try mean ROM. It is built for the new hboot. Be sure to do a full wipe first. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1645211

Or, since you're s-off (you wrote "s-of", but I imagine you meant s-off), you can put an older bootloader like 1.40 or the eng 1.04 and just restore back to DevilToast. I installed the new firmware including the new hboot and all my restores would bootloop. But once I put the eng 1.04 bootloader back on and restored, all is well.
Here's a link with both of those hboots...

i am s-off. i put 1.04 back on it and i still cant flash a new rom or restore an old backup.
From what I've been reading we need hboot 1.58
To flash the sprint ics. And have to downgrade
To hboot 1.40 to flash back to all other roms.
I'm on hboot 1.12. I've seen some talk about updating my hboot//firmware to the most recent version. it seems like a bit of a process. Can someone tell me the benefit of doing this? Also, if someone could explain how i can do this? thank you so much!
Im on Mean Rom 4.1
thank you
Most important question: are you S-OFF?

Never update your hboot. Updating firmware is a good idea. Definitely get s-off if you haven't already.
Its not a "process" at all.... you just flash it either from recovery or from H-boot depending on if you are S-ON or S-OFF
And you want to update radio and firmware, no tthe Hboot
I think what you may be referring to is relocking and running the RUU to update your firmware. Sure that can be a bit involved, but if you're S-OFF updating firmware is really easy and you don't have to mess with any of that stuff. Like the others have said, since you're 1.12 you should go get S-OFF and then flash the firmware (minus the hboot).
Definitely get s-off, s-on unlocked is a guilded cage
Even if he is S-ON it doesnt matter. Hboot 1.12 can update through recovery
Yea but soff is better
I thought with 1.12 s-on you could only update the radio but the other firmware bits were off limits?

The security is different on 1.12, its practically non existent (compared to hboots 1.15 and 1.19) when you unlock but to have full write access to nand you need soff
I want to upgrade my cell to radio 2.13 and Hboot 1.19 as i am on hboot 1.15 right now and want to achieve Raccoon s-off. Is the official RU below is the one that will do it for me? I want to make sure that I will not get an Hboot that is higher than 1.19.

that's the one
It's impossible to have an hboot "higher" that 1.19, there isn't one. DirtyRacun works with 1.15 and 1.19, as long as you have the correct architecture on your pc to use it.
That's the correct RUU. If you're stock, you could always just run the system update off of your phone.
So, I'm trying to run TripNDroid ROM (check here), but currently that ROM on 4.2.1 doesn't support my HBOOT, 1.12.
I checked me CID, which is HTC_304, and I see it is compatible with HBOOT 1.39.
Now, I read somewhere that if I update to a more recent HBOOT I might not be able to flash some ROMs only compatible with older HBOOTs. So, should I update my HBOOT or not? If so, how?
Also, is it normal for a certain rom to be flashable on my HBOOT but not another, even though both are same OS (4.2.1)?
Maybe just by replacing the hboot file in a stock ruu with a newer hboot from a newer stock ruu. Also, this is only for S-ON and locked/unlocked.
