No, you don't have to change your hboot. Have you tried Wild for the Night? It is very stable and comes with a cleaner UI and more features than a stock Sense rom.

I am looking for the 2.17.651.5 with hboot removed (I dont want to lose hboot 1.4)
I used freeza's aio update from here but My firmware is still 1.13.651.7.
It's been awhile since I was at this point. I just got out of the virgin crapware and still trying to get my phone back to normal! lol
But like I said I do not want to lose my hboot 1.40.
Update I believe I found what I was looking for HERE I am just confused on what version to get odex or deodex not sure what the difference is or if it makes a difference if I am going to flash a rom.
I'm thinking you need to do it again. For whatever reason it didn't take. The aio file is what I've used in the past without problem. The second link you posted is for a full rom... That's not necessary if all you're trying to do is update your radio
Yeah I am looking to update my ROM but not my hboot

I think you are ok. I went through the downgrade process and used the all-in-one and am showing my build number as 1.13.652.1. My hboot is 1.4 s-off and I have no issues flashing any Ics or GB Rom.

1.13 and 2.17 are Rom bases, right now you are on 1.13 Rom with the firmware that came with 2.17. Flash a Rom based on 2.17 and your phone will show 2.17 in settings>about phone>software info. however you can see your pri version and baseband version have changed.

Exactly this. The Rom I am on is based on the VM leak, hence the 1.13. Roms labeled 2.17 are based on the last GB ota. I left my firmware and radios on 2.17 since that is the last official Sprint firmware update, but my Rom is 1.13.

Yeah, same here.
I've been running MeanRom ICS. I wanted to give the sprint stock version a try. What's the best way to do this?
Thanks.
Oh, read the forums, I think about a gizzilion boot loops, problems, issue's

Well since you can't update ota if you are rooted, just find a stock rooted rom and flash it just like any other rom. As you SHOULD know from reading, you can't run the new kernel without the new hboot, so update to that if you want to use the new kernel.

The 2.4 version I do believe was based on the VM leak. His newest 2.6 version is based on the latest Sprint release, and works just great. I have been running it with no issues.
If you have S-off , you can upgrade the hboot and kernel to the latest. If not, you can leave the kernel and hboot you have and just flash the rom.
Just and idea.
I installed [ROM][Unofficial-AOKP] and while its nice some of the nuisances are frustrating. My previous phone was a DroidX so I could always just SBF back to stock no problems. But I am curious is there a way to go back to the an official ICS release by loading the PH98IMG.zip or whatever? I thought I heard once you went to an unofficial OTA you could never go back to pure stock if you were S-ON and I am okay with that I just want to get back to the last updated ICS that was available.
If I can just load the .zip what is the correct version and can someone point me to the download? Thanks.
You can go back to stock. You have to relock your bootloader by running "fastboot oem lock" from fastboot, and then reflash the stock RUU.
If you never updated past the Verizon OTA, you can get the 3.14.605.12 file from this site, rename it to PH98IMG.zip on your external SD, relock, and flash.

Cool, thanks.
You didn't make a nandroid backup of your existing rom before you installed a new rom? You should start if you didn't, that way if you installed a rom you end up not liking, you can just restore your previous one without needing to re-set up your phone all over again.
Stay root and flash Neo's simplistic 3.0 rom. It is a debloated version of the stock rom. It's not as smooth as jellybean but is about as stable as you can get.

So I found this thread and I haven't been to JellyBean on my Rezound yet. Currently running Hawks latest EclipticRez and Snuzzo's latest Kernel which is dope.
1) Can I just make a full Nandroid of my current rom, then flash Neo's Inception 2.5 to try out jellybean?
2) If I want to go back to ICS Sense, can I just restore my nandroid?
It seems that simple, but I dont want a brick and wanted to confirm that I can go back to ICS.
Thank you.

As long as you are S-OFF yes.
If you are S-on you'll have to reflash the boot.img of the ROM you started from/restore back to.

I had been running CM10.1(deck's build) on my phone as my daily driver for a while. At some point I was unable to get 4g anymore and wanted to update my PRL (from 25010 to 25012) thus needed to switch to a Sense ROM.
I followed instructions on the MeanBean ROM thread for S-OFF users and upgraded my firmware from 3.15.651.16 to 3.16.651.3 using Captain_Throwback's firmware from here
Now that my PRL and profile are updated, I want to go back to my nandroid backup of the DD CM10.1 ROM and am wondering if I need to downgrade my firmware back to 3.15.651.6 to get the AOSP ROM to work, or if downgrading would brick my phone.
I am S-OFF, hboot 2.09.4444 and did not install the latest tp firwmare.
As long as you did not do the tp firmware then no need to downgrade.

Thanks a bunch thicklizard for the encouragement!! Restored my aosp nandroid and no issues.
I am wondering if anyone could answer a question I have. I am wondering if my Hboot version has an impact on what Roms I can flash. I currently have Hboot 2.20.0.0.0 and jelly bean 4.2.2.-........ So am I able to flash any Roms I want as long as it's for a Zara (cl)? Or do I have to be running a certain Hboot version or firmware version to flash certain Roms? If anyone can help me out that would be awesome, if I do have to change hboot I know how to flash it i just wasnt sure if it's needed and what would happen to the current rom I'm using if i were to flash a different Hboot.
