Can you simply flash lower hboot version if you're s-off? - HTC EVO 3D

I'm on 1.53.0007 and I just got s-off with the wire trick. Does that mean I can just flash a lower hboot version without trouble?

yes you can

Any hboot you desire.

So, does that mean should I use EXT4 recovery as S-on or S-off? Thanks in advance if you can answer.

You are s-off, so that should be what u need.
Although you may be able to just flash the 1.13 Ruu (b/c of s-off) run revolutionary to get their hboot 1.40 & then update radio & ROM separately. I'm not sure but I have seen Unknownforce mention it in his thread. Just don't tryto "brick it" b/c it'd be permanent.

If you want to head back to HBOOT 1.40, just flash xHausx's PG86IMG_1.40-hboot from here (not the engineering HBOOT). Rename the zip to PG86IMG.zip and put it in the root of your SD Card.

ENG hboot...

Does this get acquired from htcdev unlock? Or by flashing? Thanks.

You can get it from the s-off process if you are running GB firmware or I think you can get it here:

[Q] 2.25 eng or JuopunutBear hboot?

Is there a patched hboot compatible with 2.25? I see a 2.11 and 2.21, as well as the ENG hboot for GB but nothing for 2.25. Anybody?
I guess a better question is, what will happen if I use a 2.21 JuopunutBear hboot after running the latest ruu?

Grab the 2.25 firmware and radios out of the repo.
Juopunutbear has a 2.25 hboot go to the unlimited.io and select hboot downloads choose downloads then vigor its the 3.14.605.5 one

All good.
Btw since nobody said and just to be clear. If you use the older juopunutbear hboot on the latest leaknothing changes... Won't mess up your phone, everything will work fine. I've been doing that myself.

new bootloader question

i know i have been around long enough to know this but for some reason i can't think of the answer. i have rooted many phones and am content with flashing roms and thats about it. i have the new 2.89 firmware with the stock ics rom from virus and can't figure out, if i am already s-off but my new bootloader is locked is there a reason to want to unlock the bootloader if i am already s-off? i never really paid attention if it was locked before.
S-off > locked, so you're good to go.

Any benefit to s-off AND unlocked?

flash Juopunutbear hboot from: http://unlimited.io/hboot-downloads/
The JB hboot is similar to an Unlocked bootloader, but supports more commands & doesn't need you to unlock the bootloader via HTC Dev.
Since you are S Off, you can flash hboots & don't ever need to unlock via HTC dev again.

Eng hboot 2.27?

i was wondering if there is an eng hboot 2.27 or a patched version that allows fastboot commands? i like my bootloader to say locked but had to unlock it after upgrading my firmware.

Yup. I'm watching unlimited.io like a hawk.

will you post something when/if there is one available?
Honestly, I found a locked s-off hboot to be sufficient. The only thing I can't do is flash recovery, so I keep TWRPs PH98IMG.zip on hand. Fastboot isn't needed that much after s-off.

I use fast boot frequently actually. Much easier imo. I know there are ways around not having to use fast boot commands but it can be a pita. Don't matter really since I unlocked my bootloader and i can get it to say locked again.

you can use fastboot commands you just have to be unlocked through htcdev.

you need an eng hboot to do fast boot commands. thats why they are still using 2.25 and not 2.27

i wonder what they did from 2.25 to 2.27. idk if the GSM ability needed something in hboot to make our phone a global phone or not.
If there are any devs out there that want to chime in, im all ears. i want to know what the difference is if they know.
