How do you check which hboot version you have?

Hold volume down and power for like 20 seconds or until it boots to bootloader. It tells you in there.

the difference between eng hboot and ship hboot? I need to unroot and s-on but i dont know if i have the eng hboot
It's a good idea to just use the latest RUU before unrooting, that way you know for sure everything is how it needs to be.

The easiest way I can think of would be to compare the version numbers it shows at the top of the bootloader screen.
The second way which comes to mind would be to examine the type of information it dumps from certain commands. This is probably a less than ideal approach.

Hey guys where can I find the updated radios with s-on?

If you're S-On you cannot flash new radios at the moment without taking the OTA or flashing the RUU.

ok thanks and is there a way to get S-Off with the latest OTA?
The only way to get s-off is to get a phone with hboot 1.12 and applying the lazy panda exploit

thanks for your help and i have HBOOT 1.12.0000. so can i use lazy panda?
Yep just head on over to development and look through the guide. If you have any trouble with any of the terms or would just like to read up before jumping into the a-off guide, I wrote a pretty extensive post explaining just about everything I could think of.

Thanks man and I was just over there earlier today and I wasnt sure if I met the requirements but I just want to make sure what I am doing before I do a dangerous thing to my phone. Well I mean its not dangerous but it can damage your phone if your not careful. Cause I am still a noon at this type of stuff but when it comes flashing a Rom and mods and stuff I can do that but other then that I am still learning everyday about this stuff but sorry for the long post. Thank you for all your help today

If your s-on with hboot 1.12 you CAN flash New radios through the recovery. But only the radio. To do the rest you need to be s-off

I've read that eventually someone will create a zip file that S-ON people can flash to get the latest firmware? I'm unlocked with S-ON & HBoot 1.19 and the instructions to unlock in the first place was a pain and it sounds just as confusing to get the latest firmware. Dirty raccoon also looks like something ill screw up. Does anyone have an idea on how long this zip of the firmware will become available? Unless its flashing ROMs/themes its outside of my league

I realize it's not a direct answer to your question, but I was in the same position as you until yesterday when I finally created a live DVD of Ubuntu and followed the directions for DirtyRacun to finally get S-OFF on my hboot 1.19. If you follow the steps carefully and take them one at a time, it's really not that bad.
I'm now running rooted Jellybean stock with the latest radio. Good luck to you.

As far as I know you need full write access to nand memory to be able to flash any firmware. Dirty Racun isn't too hard to run successfully
If you are s-on you have to relock your bootloader then take the OTA to update firmware. After you take the ota you can unlock your bootloader again. Although it is highly recommended to s-off because there's no telling how long it could take to get s-off for the new hboot.
I just relocked and ran RUU now im back up and running and currently installing the JB update. I may re-root in a lil while i will just rock stock till the new year. Thanks for everyones help!

Yes.. You mite need root permission to start s off process I can't remember that much I did it a lil long ago just flash 4ext and and install supersu and go ahead with s off it won't hurt you all it'll take is extra 5min
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium
You don't need s-off to install roms from 4ext recovery tool. You only need s-off for updating radios and such. If you do want to try the wire trick make sure you have contact with metal by scraping away any white dot sticker that on some phones is under the holes.

Depends If you have other brand of amaze such as tmobile wind tellus or something EXCEPT Asian Version, if you have Asian Version which is CID_044 you need s off cuz we don't have ics.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium
Yup..
If you have Asian version of amaze and if you want to update your android version to Ics than you must perform s-off ,
Than flash RUU which is provided by aj and than hboot .
And after that you can flash supersu.zip to gain root access..
And if you don't want update ics and want only simple root with GB stock Rom
1) unlock bootloader
2) perform s-off (to be safe to perform further steps )
3) flash superSU.zip
Hit thanks if I helped you !!!
I am wondering how one would go back S-On after achieving S-Off using the Moonshine method or if it is even possible. There is a thread about LazyPanda/DirtyRacun but I can't seem to find anything for Moonshine. I ask because I need to take my phone to sprint for repairs and don't want to have an unlocked bootloader.

Thanks! I saw this earlier but I wasn't 100% sure if it would work with Moonshine so I figured I'd be on the safe side and ask first.
