After successfully downgrading my HBOOT to 1.12 and achieving s-off, is there any advantage functionally in flashing HBOOT 1.15 or 1.19
since you will still be s-off, is there a difference.

It would be a good idea to flash the lazy panda hboot found here http://www.unlimited.io/lazypanda.htm as far as the other hboots I'm not sure I have not tried but as long as you update your firmware bits you will be up to date
No real reason to update your hboot once you're s-off...except for the lazy panda hboot the previous poster mentioned. It allows fastboot commands, but it's not required to complete s-off.

Has anyone achieved this? I think I just did accidentally.
Right now I'm in a custom recovery (teamwin) with 1.50 Hboot S-OFF.
Well, you can still get full root with Hboot 1.50 even through HTCDev method.
What you can't get is S-Off. You can still be on HBOOT 1.50 with S-Off if you updated to HBOOT 1.50 from 1.40 while you were S-Off.
Even then, there's still a downgrade for HBOOT 1.50 users.
What you probably did was updated from hboot 1.30 or 1.40 with s-off to 1.50 and kept the S-Off like you should have.

You either had s-off to begin with, oryou had s-off to begin with. You're good to go, no need to downgrade the bootloader unless you want eng hboot. 1.5 means nothing, s-on is the problem. But you're s-off.
I'm on hboot 1.12. I've seen some talk about updating my hboot//firmware to the most recent version. it seems like a bit of a process. Can someone tell me the benefit of doing this? Also, if someone could explain how i can do this? thank you so much!
Im on Mean Rom 4.1
thank you
Most important question: are you S-OFF?

Never update your hboot. Updating firmware is a good idea. Definitely get s-off if you haven't already.
Its not a "process" at all.... you just flash it either from recovery or from H-boot depending on if you are S-ON or S-OFF
And you want to update radio and firmware, no tthe Hboot
I think what you may be referring to is relocking and running the RUU to update your firmware. Sure that can be a bit involved, but if you're S-OFF updating firmware is really easy and you don't have to mess with any of that stuff. Like the others have said, since you're 1.12 you should go get S-OFF and then flash the firmware (minus the hboot).
Definitely get s-off, s-on unlocked is a guilded cage
Even if he is S-ON it doesnt matter. Hboot 1.12 can update through recovery
Yea but soff is better
I thought with 1.12 s-on you could only update the radio but the other firmware bits were off limits?

The security is different on 1.12, its practically non existent (compared to hboots 1.15 and 1.19) when you unlock but to have full write access to nand you need soff
I have Juopunutbear's S-OFF Hboot 1.50 and want to upgrade to Hboot 1.58 via official ICS OTA update. Do I need to relock my phone via Juopunutbear or can just update to 1.58 via OTA update and then use Juopunutbear to unlock Hboot 1.58?

You don't need to relock to use the RUU or do the wire trick again afterwards since you will stay S-OFF after updating to ICS.
This post contains my recommendation for someone else in a similar situation, although he had the 1.4 bootloader installed. The same process should work for you using the download in the OP of that thread.
The reason to flash the JuopunutBear Sprint ICS (1.58.5858) bootloader is to allow you to run the fasboot commands like flash, erase and boot. If you don't care about that, just stay with the 1.58 bootloader that the RUU.exe installs.

I want to upgrade my cell to radio 2.13 and Hboot 1.19 as i am on hboot 1.15 right now and want to achieve Raccoon s-off. Is the official RU below is the one that will do it for me? I want to make sure that I will not get an Hboot that is higher than 1.19.

that's the one
It's impossible to have an hboot "higher" that 1.19, there isn't one. DirtyRacun works with 1.15 and 1.19, as long as you have the correct architecture on your pc to use it.
That's the correct RUU. If you're stock, you could always just run the system update off of your phone.
Considering there's a tool out now to give you S-OFF with Hboot 1.19 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1964309)
Is there any advantage to updating the Hboot?
If not i will just keep what i got since developers on here don't find it necessary to take the time to mention which hboot their rom is developed and tested with.

It doesn't matter what hboot you have, 1.12, 1.15, or 1.19. You can s-off all 3. There is no point in upgrading at all.

i doesn't matter what Hboot you have on the evo lte... with the 3d it was a little different because of the bootloader

It does not matter what hboot, I'm running outdated hboot and firmware and run viper, mean, stock w/goodies, cm10, pa just fine. The difference in hboot is 1.12 allows direct access to boot partition, 1.15 and 1.19 do not. It's not an issue now that you can either soff or downgrade and soff all current hboot software
