Switching Hboot without PC? - HTC EVO 3D

Is there a way to swap the Hboot for different ROMs without having to use a PC to remove PC86IMG.zip from the SD card? Many AOSP ROMs require older Hboot versions and some of the new 2.89 base ROMs need the newer 1.58 Hboot to but after you flash the older Hboot you are stuck if you are running the new base and have to use a PC to remove the PC86IMG.zip from the SD card. Seems like we need an option in recovery or some other way to switch Hboots when away from a computer to change ROMs.

Put the hboot pg86 on your sd.
Flash Rom
Reboot to bootloader (from recovery) to flash hboot
Boot system and rename the pg86 with a file manager
You don't have to remove the pg86img, just rename it.Does this answer your question?

No... Because after you flash an older Hboot say, 1.40 and you were on a new 2.89 base ROM it will no longer boot because it requires the new 1.58 Hboot sooo..you can't just use a file explorer to change the name...

Right, I've done that on accident before. What I'm saying is, don't flash the new hboot until after the Rom flash. I go from zr3dx to venom all the time with no computer. They require different hboots. This is how I do it.
Let's say I'm on zr3dx with hboot 1.4 and I want to go to venom. I'll rename my "158hbootPG86IMG.zip" to PG86IMG first. then I go to recovery and flash venom, then I reboot to bootloader from recovery and it'll flash the hboot 1.58. It boots up and I promptly rename it back to "158hbootPG86IMG.zip".
If I want to go back to zr3dx I just do the same process with the 1.4 hboot that's on my sd and flash zr3dx.

[New Patched HBOOT][S-OFF Only] Hboot 2.11 Patched. Replaces Engineering HBOOT

This is for old firmware folks only! IF ARE RUNNING THE ICS LEAK FIRMWARE, DON'T FLASH THIS!
If you S-ON your device with this installed, IT WILL BRICK.
What is this and why is it better than the ENG Hboot?
This is a patched version of the 2.11 Hboot. This is for GB firmware users. This was patched by the Juopunutbear team. It is very similar to their 2.21 patched hboot. It allows for fastboot commands without HTCDev.com unlock, but not the full engineering set. This is safer for users. This is also not a leaked HBoot like the ENG one was, so this should cause fewer issues with devices like the ENG hboot may have. If you are on the ENG hboot and do not need the extended subset of commands and/or are having issues with the ENG hboot, I recommend flashing this one.
Please thank the Juopunutbear team for developing this as a better alternative to the engineering hboot.
Installation:
-1.S-OFF the device
0. Make sure you aren't on ICS firmware
1. CHECK MD5!!!!
2. Rename file to PH98IMG.zip and place on SD card
3. Reboot to HBOOT
4. Flash bootloader when prompted with volume up.
Download: HERE
MD5: cf20a2a731b4415fa11a60920730747a
If any issues arise from the use of this hboot, please bring it to my attention so I can contact the Juopunutbear team. I am just the messenger with this one.
Again, flashing this or anything you find on the internet is your responsibility. Myself or the Juopunutbear team can't be held responsible.

Thanks for this, I wont be using as im on the ics leak but im sure those on 2.11 will find this useful
Just to make sure, I was on the ics leak before getting s-off then flashed the eng hboot GB firmware PH98IMG that suprchilpil posted. This would still be relevant for me if I didn't need the eng hboot right?
Sorry if it's a dumb question, but I guess better to ask and confirm.
Con, would you recommend downgrading if on the ICS leak and getting back to Hboot 2.11 ?
Con, you're a great man for what you do, but could you PLEASE make a wtf to do with s-off for dummies, (from incredible where everything was easy, only one hboot) Most of this confuses the hell out of me. If anyone could make a "what is all this" or whatever thread it would be of much thanks.
Edit: so in other words, i have no idea what any of this means lol.
I will stay on the 2.11 eng hboot for the time being as I have had no issues since downgrading from 2.21.
I will however download this and keep it handy just in case.
Thanks
I can write more notes tomorrow. I will have time in the next couple days to hopefully do a big info dump.
Thanks for putting this out there....

Con question for you or anyone else who has done it. Have you upgraded to this hboot from ENG? If so do you recommend it? Reason I'm asking is I haven't done it yet...still with ENG and it's working fine. I know if it ain't broke then don't fix it. Just want to hear the consensus on this one. Thanks.

[S-OFF] HBOOT/ROM Patch for ICS Leak

This is a modified HBOOT that is designed to be compatible with ICS while retaining its S-OFF capabilities. It is NOT an ENG hboot, but rather a S-OFF hboot. It still has fastboot capabilities.
This is not my work, but I got the permission to release the modified leak (the full ICS leak) from Unlimited.io team (Hyuh).
This has the modified hboot in it, so you do not need to flash an engineering hboot before flashing the leak. It has everything in it. Just flash this as you would with the normal leak such as:
renaming it to PH85IMG.zip and then flashing it through hboot, or flashing this with fastboot under RUU mode, or whatever method works best for you
The only difference with this is that this is fully compatible with the ICS ROM, while the other ENG hboots are not. ENG hboots still will work, but it is said that this hboot is more compatible.
REMINDER: YOU MUST HAVE S-OFF BEFORE FLASHING THE MODIFIED ROM OR BEFORE FLASHING THE MODIFIED HBOOT!!!
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for bricks or malfunctions you may experience. Flashing a new hboot can be dangerous, so heed caution. (Insert standard disclaimer here)
LINK for the -FULL- modified ICS leak:
http://hyuh.net/files/ruby/PH85IMG_juopunutbear.zip
CREDITS: Unlimited.io and hyuh for their awesome work, and Football for releasing this leak!
I also took the liberty of pulling the hboot from the modified ICS leak, for those who need to flash the updated hboot on the ICS ROM, as I previously had an incompatible (but working) ENG hboot on the ICS rom. I just flashed this and it worked.
Again, you must have S-OFF!
Instructions: Download the file and then flash in fastboot with this command
fastboot flash hboot updatedhbootICS.img
Note: I used this method when I had an ENG hboot beforehand, so results may vary.
This updated hboot version is 1.93.2222
Link: Look at file attached
Thanks for the post, but the ENG boot loader DOES work just fine with ICS. Don't want other people to be confused.
If it is working, I'm not sure how it is supposedly incompatible.

While an eng hboot is not necessary its more useful then a standard release hboot and its not more compatible its just a bootloader the eng hboot and this hboot are equally compatible with any rom

From what I've seen in the other thread, to flash the NFC part of the ICS update, you need the new HBOOT, and this allows the NFC part to flash correctly

Right, and the Tmous ICS RUU comes with a version of HBoot necessary to flash the updated NFC (and thus why it reboots on its own a few times).
So the point of having a "more compatible" HBoot I don't understand, unless for futureproofing a new version of NFC or something.
Sent from my HTC Amaze 4G using XDA
I flashed it and checked it out. This actually gives you the functions of both ENG and SHIP HBoots. You can SuperCID and run fastboot flash commands. Seems like this might be the better HBoot to flash. If only it didn't say "JuopunutBear" where it should say "Locked"/"Unlocked"
Stupid question... (the best kind!)
Will flashing this hboot wipe my device or my CWM?
I understand flashing the whole freakin leak will, but if flashing this hboot isn't going to change anything other than supposedly be more compatible - why not?

Download the file from post 1. Copy to your external sd card root folder and rename to ph85img.zip (do not extract the download). Reboot into bootloader and it will automatically update.

ah ezzz ok thank you so much ,,,

[Q] I don't get the update process

I am S-Off with AmonRa 3.15 Unlocked, Rooted and have the GB Stock Sense.
Things seemed a lot simpler with the DInc. Load the RUU on the SD, change the name zip and boot it from the boot loader.
From what I am reading, I have to flash the newest leaked ROM, then install AmonRa 3.15 again, then load the radios?
Doesn't sound or seem right and I know I will end up screwing something up.
Can someone give me a step by step instruction on this? Do I have to name each file PH98IMG.zip, install it then delete it and load another to install?
I am not understanding it.
Lmao wtf ?
Grab the ruu file, rename it to ph98img.zip and put on root of sdcard. Itll update firmware, rom, radios in one shot. Then you reinstall aromra and why are you s off and unlocked ? Point of soff is to be locked and still be rooted. I think you probably misread some threads wrong but good luck, hope i helped
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
Btw if your unlocked, you cant run the ruu i believe. Better relock first .
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
I know I did. I thought I had to unlock to root so I did. There are so many variations of the update threads going around. S-On, S-Off, S-On, Unlocked, Rooted. I can't keep this crap straight. That is why I am asking.
Thank you
i suggest reading this thread to get a better idea of everything involved.
but yes, phones change and evolve. they're not all the same, so you gotta roll with it.
If you're s-off I don't think you'll have to relock. But it's a total wipe of the phone, so you'll have to reinstall Amon Ra. You'll lose everything except your external SD card.
Back up your internal SD, and anything you care about.
Put the RUU on your external SD named as PH98IMG.zip. MD5 it *after* you put it on the SD card to ensure a perfect transfer.
Shut off phone, pull battery. Put battery in.
Start bootloader with volume and power keys. Everything's automatic from there. Volume up to say Yes when prompted. Process restarts automatically if the RUU has to flash your HBOOT.
On first boot, go straight to the SD card and rename that PH98IMG.zip file so you don't lock yourself out of recovery.
Now shut down and do the battery thing again.
Start bootloader and do the factory system reset/wipe. This is your last and only chance to fix any corruption in the radio partition, and you need to do this before flashing Amon Ra. You'll see the recovery screen and a progress bar that just twirls. When done the phone reboots automatically.
You may now shut down and install Amon Ra. In my experience, the phone will remain unlocked, and you can flash from fastboot if you prefer.
I haven't tried rooting the leak from Amon Ra because I usually just apply a rooted ROM from this point.
Be careful what ROMs you apply, because some ROMs may "upgrade" your kernel to an older version. In my limited experience, the one on the RUU is the best one.
Well, this changed me to Sense 3.5 software number 2.01.605.11 I downloaded Scott's Stock Rooted RUU 3.14.605.5 LOL!
Told you **** never works right when I do it.
Going to try relocking and running again

You don't need to relock, you just need the right file. Scott's rooted 3.14 is a ROM, not the RUU. You need the actual RUU. The name of his thread is a little confusing as it is based on the newest leaked RUU but is not bootloader flashable via the PH98IMG.zip method. Get the real RUU and follow the excellent instructions above.
The PH98IMG in that post is not the full RUU and is only for the special case that he outlines in the first post under "install instructions".

Got it. Couldn't install under HBOOT. Had to do it under recovery and couldn't use the PH98IMG file name. Just left Scott's as named in the download.

[Q] wanting to go to s-off. confused about what firmware i should download

So i have the 3.14 RUU version of ICS running right now, i am rooted and unlocked as well (no problems with phone at all). It shows that i am on hboot 2.11 when i go into the BL. When i go onto the juopunutbear site for Rezound it gives a list of which i need to download. My question is what firmware version do i need to download GB firmware or ICS firmware (3.14 leak) and do i need to update to a different version of hboot. I flashed the GB patch after i flashed the 3.14 RUU after i unlocked and rooted.
I have read so many posts on s-off for the rezound i am getting very confused. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You don't have ICS firmware on your phone. 2.11 is the OTA for GB. ICS is 2.21 or 2.25. If you are on GB firmware (which you are now) you need the GB modified hboot. If you upgrade your firmware to 2.21 or 2.25, depending on which RUU you run, you need the ICS modified hboot.
ok so i have GB firmware ( the hboot 2.11 ) . so i need to update hboot to 2.21 or 2.25 then correct. That wont mess up 3.14 leak that i have right now will it?
Do s-off with GB download then don't do the RUU. Instead flash the jb hboot and 5/7 radios along with a from that has been updated past 5/8.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA
do i flash the GB 2.11 hboot (JB) or an ICS hboot? This is starting to sound like i must have GB all across the board
ICS 2.21. As you will be using the newer radios. Also, don't unlock, as you can flash anything with either of the patched hboots even if locked.
And no you don't need "GB acrosed the board", just trying to make it easier with less flashing of hboot

when i flashed the 3.14 my hboot still showed as and still it 2.11. I dont think it should show as this right?
He doesn't. Has hboot 2.11. He need to flash 3.14 using the PH98IMG.zip to get the updated firmware and radios. Then s-off using the ICS jbear firmware.
Yes I know that he can flash them separately after s-off, but it will just be easier to flash the RUU first.

Ahh I see, you are on 3.14 w/ GB firmware.
@Emerikl
From my earlier post. It was a serious question, no disrespect to you nor sarcasm at all.
No worries man. No harm no foul.
alrighty so i need to update the hboot then to ICS...looking in the firmware thread i choose ICS 2.25 stock 5-7 right?
aircrew85, you need to get the RUU from here download that and rename it to PH98IMG.zip.
Put it on the root of your sd card boot to the bootloader. Let it do this twice. The first pass updates the hboot and may hang for a long long time at the white htc screen. The second pass updates the system files and this takes a long time also, so make sure you have your battery charged.
***WARNING*** This will erase everything on your internal sd card, so if you have anything on there you want, get it off before start the RUU process.
Then do the S-Off technique using the ICS firmware option.
Flash Amon Ra or TWIP for your recovery.
Flash whatever ROM you want
aaaaah ok thanks!

Install Stock RUU *.exe

i want to install Stock RUU for my evo 3D to do wire trick...
i usually install new ROM (.zip) with 4ext, now....how about to install Stock RUU .exe on windows ?
just run the .exe with connected evo 3D to computer ?
is the evo 3D on bootloarder state with "fastboot usb" appear ? or just on desktop state ?
i found this tutorial, but its on HTC Desire, can it works on Evo 3D ?

ok... i did it. this guide:
Flashing Android RUU Update Using HBoot
- First you need the RUU.exe that you intend to install.
- Run the RUU as administrator.
- Tick the 'I understand the caution indicated above...' box, and click next.
At this point do not go any further!
- Navigate to C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Local\Temp (Replace xxxxx with yours - AppData is a hidden folder)
You should see one or two folders like this: {E328FA5C-81C2-4B70-96AE-D5418A9A5B75}
- Go into the one with "dotnetinstaller.exe" in it.
- Open up the next folder. (like this : {50F2F878-636A-496F-A7CB-544C067E0C4B}
- Copy "rom.zip" into another folder (outside of temp).
- At this point just Cancel and quit the ROM Update Utility.
- Rename the "rom.zip" to "PD98IMG.zip" and put it on to the root directory of your MicroSD card in your phone.
- Shut down the phone.
- Press the Power button + Volume down button at the same time and hold them untill you get to HBOOT (white screen with skateboarding android).
- Wait for the HBOOT to parse the zip file.
- Follow the on-screen instructions and boot into newly flashed device.
Thanx everyone on this forum!

i try to copy the ROM.zip and paste it into other folder. any idea what is "PD98IMG.zip" (on this ex. HTC desire) ? is the Evo3D have the same name with that one ?
What hboot are you now? If you have 1.58, you will not be able to ruu, until you're s off
Generally speaking a stock Rom such as butterz sense will work for the wire trick, I personally used harmonia, but I'm also on vm
The PG86IMG.zip method requires s off I believe, so that wont help you...I could be wrong though

my hboot ver 1.53.0007
and now i use Yoda's ICS....
my plan is use this PG86IMG.zip to get RUU first and then i will unlock it, and run juopunutbear to get S-OFF
but, you said that for use PG86IMG.zip (renamed from ROM.ZIP from RUU) is only can when i have S-OFF (1.58), is this the same case with my hboot ver ?
so what must i do then ?
I'm honestly not sure, it sounds like you have gsm, I can only speak for my CDMA.
I could be wrong, but I needed s off to change my hboot ( by flashing pg86img), so I assume phone needs soff to flash any pg86img.zip...but I don't have an son phone to try.
And I just knew there is no ruu for the latest CDMA hboot, which is 1.58
I would say if you're going to try ruu through the pg86img, just be 100% sure it's for gsm..

ohhh no no no ...
on this case , i only want to get RUU installed on my phone....not for downgrading hboot yet...this is for getting S-OFF with juopunutbear i think...
and i asked how to install RUU .exe ? is that the same way to flash any cusROM with 4ext (flash from .zip) ? or must by renaming ROM.ZIP to pg86img.zip and put it on the root of SD Card ?

Only .zip files can be flashed directly from your phone. In order to run .exe file you need a computer

No. Rename RUU .zip file to PG86IMG and put it on root of your sd card. Then pull out your battery, put it back and press vol down and power to get to bootloader and when asked to update press vol up.
