So I have an HTC Evo 3D with changed motherboard(That means that i cannot unlock the HTC method) and recendly I accomplished to downgrade it with the Ultimate Recovery Tool and unlock it with revolutionary.This means that I am in HBOOT 1107 with S-OFF,rooted and 4ext recovery...I managed to install 1 or 2 ROMs succesfully but when i tried to install Viped3D and an other one that uses Aroma and have sence in them they stuck in Boot screen...
I searched a bit and I figured out than i have to update my HBOOT...
Can anyone tell me if i am right and if i am how to do it without losing my unlock and root and without bricking my phone...
Thank You :angel:
Revolutionary hboot shouldn't be giving you problems with viper rom. you can try by changing hboot to 1.49.0007 from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1906172
But before you do just want to make sure that before you did this unlock method was your hboot 1.53 or an older hboot?
---------- Post added at 06:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:01 PM ----------
The reason i'm asking if you had hboot 1.53 is that most roms require the newer firmware: http://d-h.st/Mf1
This isnt a problem if in the past you had updated to ics(1.53 hboot) using RUU or official update. if you went from 1.49.xxxx to revolutionary then you need this for roms to boot

Firstly Thank you...2ndly yes i was in 1.53 and i think i have problem with all Roms that use Aroma...:/
thats wierd
I dont really understand what exploit Unknownforce used to s-off replaced motherboards so maybe its a kind of bug with it.
So can you boot Jelly Bean roms right now?

I just upgrade to the new hboot. I'm s-off.
Any solutions yet ?
I can't flash some ROMs.. help help !

CDMA or GSM? What Roms are you trying to flash?
If you are trying to flash GB Roms or aosp based Roms with the new hboot, you will get bootloops unless you downgrade the hboot.

here is a link to a post with a list of hboots you can downgrade to.
just download zip file and place in the root of your sd card and rename it to PG86IMG.zip then boot into bootloader, hboot will update just hit volume up when prompted

If you are s-off, you will not lose s-off. When you flash the new hboot, it will say s-off locked, but s-off > locked, so you will be able to flash whatever you want and go back if needed.
If I were you (what i did myself), is flash freeza's firmware update that doesn't include the 1.58 hboot. The ONLY reason to flash the new hboot is if you plan to flash a Rom with the new kernel. The 1.4 hboot allows you to flash everything, including Roms based on the new Ota.

bump as I would love to know this as well
Can anybody help ???
Do you have an RUU for the build that contains that hboot? You should be able to pull it out of the .exe or .zip version of the RUU, then repackage it to flash separately.
That's what I've done for hboots for the Evo 3D CDMA.

If you have a zip version of the RUU, you need to take the android-info.txt and hboot file out of the root of that zip and re-zip then into a file called PG86IMG.zip, then flash that file from your bootloader (assuming you are S-OFF). If you are not S-OFF, the only way to change the bootloader is to flash the entire RUU, or change it in the process of getting S-OFF.
If the RUU is an .exe file, mpgrimm2 has instructions on how to extract the files you need in this post.

Go s-off, don't waste your time, most of the new roms require s-off to flash the firmware, there's a thread for doing the wire trick, look for it

Going S-OFF with JuopuntBear (wire trick) is definitely good advice. I was able to flash an RUU with hboot 1.50 over a configuration that had hboot 1.58 on an E3D CDMA model using the RUU.exe for the earlier release, but that was with S-OFF.
I have a thread in this forum about modifying the Main Version (mainver) of the phone to allow flashing of earlier hboots and RUU's, but I haven't tested that with S-ON and you will be better off in the long run getting S-OFF. Then you can flash any RUU or hboot you want.

If you want to flash anything else you must get s off and change your hboot first

Hey thanks for the reply, the whole idea behind 4ext was to work around S-OFF!!.

As far I know there is no way to flash anything other than ICS roms with s on.
The wire trick is not hard at all, if you flashed 4ext, you will be able to do it...

Just to clarify
Hboot 1.57 and 1.58 are for ICS
Hboot 1.50 and below will work for everything else
Some ICS ROMs will work with 1.50 and under, but there are no jb or kk ROMs that work with 1.57/1.58

Hey, just wanna thank you for the clarity bro.............that was such a simple, straight forward response, and it made the world of custom roms easily understandable!!! I had started to suspect that only ICS would work at my hboot, but you brought it home.........thanks again.
