HBOOT after root and S-Off - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

Should hboot be updated to the newest version after s-off? Are there any downsides? Will it affect s-off or anything down the road?
I am currently on 1.12.

You will maintain soff but you don't need to update through ruu or ota to have the latest firmware update. Just grab the firmware zip from development and flash it to get the latest updates

Great answer. First EVO LTE that I am supporting for a friend of mine. Didn't want an assumption to bite me in the ass.

Iwill probably wont root again until Jelly Bean Update

I lost my root on the last OTA and since there are still no new method to re root on this new version might as well wait till the JB update. I think by Mid August / Sept we can see the new OTA to JB

There is a thread that I used after the OTA by xHausx that brought back r00t for me flawlessly, and I used HTC Dev to unlock the bootloader?
FYI.

I almost tried this until I read the following ~ I wanted the fixes in the latest OTA:
"Successful in rooting all builds up to 1.13.651.1."
It works for 1.22. It unlocks your phone and installs twrp. You just have to flash chainfires 0.94 superuser to be fully rooted

Wait, this is getting confusing. We should always be able to unlock thru htcdev on this phone no matter the firmware update. Achieving S-OFF is not yet possible on hboot 1.15, so, that's what some of us are hoping to have...

Yes, S-OFF on hboot 1.15 is a work-in-progress, perhaps with a future Lazy Panda exploit.
I believe the original user's requirement was root and unlocked on the current OTA.
These are HTC phones. You can always use HTC dev as a last resort. We will always have root.
Also, don't accept otas if your rooted or ever plan on rooting.

What do you get from being s-off? I'm htc dev unlock with s on and I've been able to run every rom with no problem and able to update my radio?

Believe that s-on with the new hboot restricts u as to what is flashable, ie kernels, splash screens, radios. Whereas the old hboot does not. Why some of us are waiting for s-off on current ota/hboot.

not up yet but it would be under "News & Dowbloads" then at the bottom under "Updates"
This is great news. Nice to see T-mobile listening to it's customers and providing a quick-fix for us.
They've been getting better and better over the years, in pretty much every way.
It say in the prequisits that you cant be rooted so how will applying this update happen

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to flash just the radio if you have s-off.
fastboot flash radio radio.img
Although I believe that it is "safer" to flash the entire firmware in RUU mode though.

This Was My Question Exactly... We Don't Really Need All the Firmware and Software Enhancements Since Most Of Us Run ARHD Or Some Other AOSP Rom. I See the Unlocked HTC One Development Section Has a Radio Thread with Instructions and Etc But Not Our Beloved T-Mobile Child lol
I Did S-Off and Did the Bootloader Unlock Via HTC but Never Changed My CID to Use International RUU'S or Make Mine a Google Edition As On T-Mobile Those Modifications Don't Play Nice With Some Of Our High Speed Bands.
If Anyone Knows How to Extract and Apply the Radio Update Please Let Us Minions Know... Thanks In Advance
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Thank you for your response. I'm curious why it would be safer to flash the entire ruu though. I'm already on 2.24.401.1 and would prefer not flash the entire ruu when all I want is the radio.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Simple once we have the radio.img just fastboot flash radio radio.img from terminal.

Patiently waiting for update...
Tmobile be trolling us. Usually there's at least a handful of peoe that post they got it or post in the q&a asking if they are getting the 4.2.2 update or whatever. I think they announced it and won't be releasing it till midnight as to not bog the servers.....yeah ....that's sounds plasuable. ..
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
I've been running 4.2.2 (Insertcoin) with the latest international firmware (s-off/supercid) but with t-mobile's radio without problems. Don't see why using just the latest radio would cause any problems.

Gaining S-OFF after .11 OTA update

Trying to use revone to get back to s-off after installing the new OTA update but I'm getting an error.
I saw in the revone thread that it should work on hboot 1.44 which mine still is.
Specifically, I'm getting error -6. Anyone successfully gain s-off after the new update?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
i'm having the same problem I'm going to try and relock and revert back the firmware to the original software
Can you even downgrade back to a fully stock .8 phone after installing the .11 update? Assuming the phone is S-On of course.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
no theres no full ruu for the original version what i'm going to try to do is fast boot flash whats in the old ruu
OK if you wouldn't mind letting me know how that goes. It's not a huge deal for me since I wasn't running any ROMs due to really liking wifi calling and the tmobile camera but I'd like to know I can get back to S-Off if I wanted

I have S-off with .11... it was off before the update, just had to re-install the stock recovery for the update to install. Can toggle on and off.
Now it seems the camera update (that restores HDR) has caused my camera to no longer work AT ALL.
Yeah. I didn't know that the update would work with s-off so I turned it back on before updating.

Upgrade?

I'm currently on 3.16 an wanted to upgrade to 3.17... I was told if I did I would break my root.. is there a way to do it without breaking root... sorry for the noobish question
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Flash a 3.17-based ROM. If you're S-off you can also upgrade your firmware to the latest version. Then you'll be updated:thumbup:
Sent from my HTC EVO 4G LTE
If you're s-off you can just flash the firmware without changing your ROM. Just go to Captain's firmware thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1704612

[Q] Can i make this update?(((Solved)))

My evo downloaded a file named: OTA_JEWEL_CL_JB_45_S_Sprint_WWE_3.17.651.4-3.16.651.3_release_334509ls9tpexkjt349evk.zip as an update
But im thinking to flash this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2048229
so, can i make the update and next flash te rom?
if you take the update, you may loose root. if you want the updated firmware, you can flash that in hboot if you are s-off so you don't have to take the update and keep root.
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk
You most likely won't be able to take the update with a custom recovery installed. It would be better to get S-off if you aren't already, update your firmware and flash whatever ROM you'd like.
