Quick ? I ran Lazy Panda with no problems, but why does my hboot version say 1.12.111 and some others say hboot 1.12.222. When I s offed, should my hboot have updated to 1.12.222? Just want to know why some show 1.12.111 and others 1.12.222.
Thanks
It's an engineered hboot for more fastboot cmds, find it in original android forum.

go back to lazypandas website and download the fastboot version of the hboot and flash it. that will give you 1.12.2222
Yep your gonna want to update that

I've been wondering this, and seems like a good place to ask: Why exactly is .2222 needed? Don't all the other hboot versions allow fastboot already?

I believe its an insecure hboot that allows for the s-off exploit

I had my phone flashed to MetroPCS and the guy updated my hboot to 1.5 I saw a thread a couple months back about being able to downboot my hboot from 1.5 to 1.4 with S-off but a search didn't help me find anything. Anyone know the steps/point me in the right direction?

I've answered this a few times on this board regarding the CDMA version of the EVO 3D. I'll quote from my previous posts as I don't think anything has changed. Please post back if you still have questions!

Here are a few reasons why we aren't able to downgrade the Hboot, like was done on the EVO Shift twice:
[Q] Downgrading HBOOT 1.5 --> 1.4

2nd time around: shift didn't have the nand write lock on the misc partition, hence being able to temp root and flash a lower version to the misc partition then hboot would allow a downgraded version of software to be loaded.
esseentially it seems as if htc was doing the bare minimum to protect the shift from being unlocked/rooted as all these methods were known and some were used on the HTC EVO prior to the shift software releases.
this has been covered a few times on the forums, but i hope rehashing old ideas/attempts might spark new ones! sometimes it only takes a slight tweak to an old method for it to bypass a patch and work! hope that helps!

If your hboot was soff before he upgraded, then it would still be soff, so if you're on hboot 1.5 with s off, then you can downgrade. If you're s on, then you're stuck.

Yes my S-Off flag is still showing in the Bootloader
I know downgrading from 1.5 with S-on is currently impossible but I know it can be done with S-off
Should've clarified I guess
Edit: yes it is CDMA

I may be the only one that doesn't have any problems with 1.5. With joeykrims flash gui, you can do pretty much anything 1.4 can do. :shrug:
Man. Wish I have s-off
Ok I guess this is nothing new (I'm sorry for making a new thread but here goes since it's already here!) and honestly there's probably no reason to do this I did it on accident troubleshooting a problem with my mic...
First I did the downgrade procedure using Closeone's awesome live cd it's super easy and really not as scary as one would think!
Once the downgrade was done, had used revolutionary and I had installed Meanrom (Meanrom not necessary) I ended up running the 2.17 RUU which left me with "Relocked and S-OFF"
Then I just did the htcdev unlock (it actually won't let you select yes but it unlocks the bootloader) after this it let me flash a recovery image through fastboot.
Once again sorry this was already known I just had never seen it and wanted to share it with you all in case it might help someone

Not trying to burst your bubble but i had 1.5 s-off before...all you have to do is gain s-off through revolutionary and either accidentally or purposefully flash a pg86img/ruu.exe that contains hboot 1.5. Those files don't change s-off/s-on

if you start with 1.3/1.4 and run revolutionary the shooter gets radio s-off. after that if you're ruu'ing to hboot 1.5 in the end result is s-off. hence the permanent nand unlock

Reaper24 explained what had happened on the first page. Just an accident. If you are already on HBOOT 1.40, you can unlock the device (S-OFF) with Revolutionary. Upgrading back to 1.50 will still allow S-OFF to work as long as the device was previously unlocked.
Currently, the only known way of getting S-OFF on a HBOOT 1.50 is downgrading it to 1.40 (see Unknownforce's post stickied at the top of the page or my signature).
Thanks anyways nymica.

I been running mean rom and now my phone is incapable of upgradeing past 3.4 do to the system update. I am debating to ruu back to stock and then take the ota so I can contenue updateing my meanrom. only issue I have with doing this. I want s-off and I don't know which may be cracked first. I suppose its better to just stay on 1.15 hboot and update if they cracked 1.19 first.
IMHO. Logic would dictate that the one that's been around longer (1.15) should be the first to cracks but you never know.
Personally I would wait giving yourself the option.

nevermind I don't need to do a ota. I know my phone I can do mostly anything the a s-off person can do just have a couple more leaps to do it. Flash gui image allows me to flash radios kenals and hboots. without doing the ota. only thing I think is I cant downgrade to a previous hboot.. not worried though I just updated to the newest mean rom.
No you can't do radios or firmware.
I'd strongly recommend kernels through fastboot and not the app

i am now on 2.13.651.1 with hboot 1.15 s-on sorry i was wrong on flashing hboot bto 1.19 did not want to do that yet thought it was my only option when I updated to 2.13.651.1 how does one know what radio I am running I thought when flashing the mean rom 3.6 all that stuff was included. I like to check what radio I am running.
I have had no issues with installing kernals with this app. I know I can take the kernel put it on my computer adb folder and install using adb interface.
I was wrong I just got update tp 2.13.651.1 radio and hboot uneffected I am not to worried no lte here in st louis so I can wait
No, roms don't include radios. And if you are on hboot 1.15 you can't update radios so you are stuck with whatever one you got until you take the OTA (dont do that) or soff is found

I ran the latest RUU with bootloader unlocked, s-on, rooted and I got everything except the latest radio and hboot. You have to relock the bootloader, then run RUU to get a complete upgrade.

Yes, I used ZedoMax unlock tutorial to unlock the first time. Why do you not wish to have the latest hboot?
I was hboot 1.15 when I ran the latest RUU unlocked and updated on the firmware. I decided that having the latest radio was important and you can not get one without the other right now from what I could find. So, I now have the latest radio and hboot, I unlocked the bootloader once again and reflashed my custom ROM.

Update with latest RUU - http://stockroms.net/file/HTCEvo4GLTE/RUU
Hope this helps...I love mine after the latest hboot and radio together. It now has none of those pesky issues I was fighting.
P.S. after you relock, the phone will NOT reboot. Just keep it on "bootloader usb" and then run the RUU from your computer. Then unlock again. It will be all updated and run great.
I would suggest waiting as well. Chances are your missed calls and texts aren't going to be fixed by a new radio

I think the real chances are that s-off will be achieved on hboot 1.19 first, anyway. I haven't found one credible indication of anyone working on either though...

Its being worked on. Nobody is going to announce "oh hay guize I'm working on getting S-OFF". You'll know who is is when they find S-OFF and announce it.
What makes you think 1.19 will be found first? That doesn't really make sense.
I just think it makes more sense to have the latest radio. It was updated by HTC for a reason and everyone that wants it, not being s-off already, has to do what I did. Consequently, since the update I have LTE nearly everywhere I go in NW Houston, prior to the update was spotty connectivity at best.

Most people don't have LTE coverage yet, so for most the radio isn't worth hboot 1.19

Unless of course, you're having issues running a custom rom on the latest firmware and older hboot. Then, one may wish to look at the options even if they are the "most" as you say or the least as I clearly represent in your estimation.

hboot downgrade
Well I've also read that I can downgrade my hboot to 1.4, but that I have to brick it to do that. In other forums people talk like downgrading to 1.4 is simple. When I got the 1.58 upgrade it updated all my radio filestoo.. So I'm wondering if those radioh files are stored on the same partition as hboot. If they are I know how to flash my hboot with fastboot flash command so that would be simple.. Any help, pointers or info would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, since youre s-off, all you need to do is find a copy of the hboot ( pg86img.zip) and place it on your sdcard, and boot into the bootloader, the phone does everything else from there on its own
