I'm faily new to the world of customizing my android, I have a rooted evo3d, S-on Hboot1.5. I'm curious about the two methods of getting S-off, one being the hboot 1.4 downgrade, and then the hboot 1.5 method. Mainly are big enough pros to having 1.5 (or 1.58 now) over 1.4?
No real difference afaik between 1.4 and 1.5. The important thing is s-off. I would avoid 1.58 unless you want to run the latest HTC kernel.

I have always wondered...why some people get s-off and some s-on and different versions of Hboot? anyone know?
its obvious what s-off and s-on does, but what are the differences between the Hboots? any advantages of one over another?

I don't know why some phones came with S-Off and the rest with S-On, but Hboot is kind of like the BIOS of a computer. Whenever there is an update, HTC will update the Hboot.
Okay guys ... I know the rules ... do a search and some reading before you ask a stupid question.
Well, I've been searching and reading for the last two hours and I have not found an answer to this, so here goes:
I am on HC (came that way), I am S-On and I've unlocked on htcdev.com (and can easily re-lock if needed). What I'd like is to get S-OFF, but Revolutionary doesn't support hboot 1.14.xx SO ...
Can I downgrade hboot WITHOUT running the GB RUU? My preference would be S-OFF and rooted (with CWM & SU) but keep HC for now.
If not, would I be correct in running Globatron's HC->GB downgrade, rooting then running his GB->HC upgrade?
Thanks!

EVO 4G
Rooted Revolutionary
TWRP Recovery 2.0
MIUI 1.12.9
Tiamat 4.1.0-sbc+
EVO View 4G
Stock HC
hboot 1.14.0005
HTC Sense 1.1
Honeycomb requires it's own Hboot, GB hboots are not compatible.
No you can't downgrade without an RUU or my light downgrade methods. Hboot is only part of the story.
I'm wondering if you had any luck Rooting it? I have a same problem, mine is also HC and with 1.14.0005 HBoot, how did you Root it?

I think you need to downgrade to GB, root and S-Off with Revolutionary, then you can upgrade back to HC with globatron's method.

Does anybody have a mirror for the HTC view downgrade RUU
Most Likely an S-OFF for HBOOT 1.58 will be (most likely) Released tomorrow.
So this means this new HBOOT is no big whoop. For Once.

Those guys are genius. Probably the same hack for 1.5
Wire trick has been confirmed working on hboot 1.58 already in multiple threads in the development section. Confused...
I have been running ViperROM Nightlies for a little bit but now I'm on MeanROM v2.6 ICS. Yes I am somewhat a newbert, for instance I have no clue what ENG HBOOT is. Someone care to shede some light.
Right now I'm on JuopunutBear's HBOOT 1.5050 (I believe that's what it is)
Any help would be much appreciated!
TIA!!!!!!!!!

Engineering hboot 1.04 is just an hboot that will accept more fastboot commands than the others will accept. It does not have a locked/unlocked banner and it was probably the first hboot for this device. If you want to give it a spin, here it is. Just rename this file to PG86IMG.zip and flash through the bootloader.

For cdma
As for the best one for sense ROMs, that depends. If you want to run GB and VM leak ICS ones, then hboot 1.4 or 1.5 our the eng hboot is fine. If you want to run an ICS ROM based on the new ota with the new kernel, you need hboot 1.58.

I was on freezas thread in the cdma dev section. I just did the wire trick to get S-OFF today and I would be super pissed if i messed it up. But if I upgrade to 1.58, would I still be S-OFF?
Yes. You keep s off. You can downgrade the hboot later if you wish
question if i update my hboot to 1.58 i can still flashing 2.3.4 roms
No. But if you are s-off, you can flash the hboot back to 1.4 or 1.5 if needed.
