Should be possible now, although never tried (and also will not try). Also, I don' know if radio and hboot are on the same partition for our device. If not, you maybe will need to downgrade radio as well.

Not sure if you can downgrade the HBOOT but I dont see why you would need to. If it is because you need root follow these guides. Even if you already have a working goldcard make it again mine was working for other phones but wouldnt work for this.
Part 1
Part 2
Once you have finished them you should have HBOOT 1.01 with Android 2.1 full root with clockworkmod so you can flash any rom you would like.
thanks a lot
I get the way to root,I only want to know how to downgrade the HBOOT
English is not my mother tongue,so my English is not so good
pardon
For now no way to downgrade HBOOT 1.01 to HBOOT 1.00 or 0.43 .....
We wait for a solution ....

Now we have a "BECOUSE"...
AlphaRev has made S-OFF for our legends here.
alpharev . nl (without spaces)
But this is only possible with hboot 0.43
We will wait...
S-OFF is only really useful for real devs, not leaches like the rest of us.
S-OFF is good for anyone who wants to change things in system..no more signing zips

Seems you don't need to sign zips for flashing with ROM Manager. Works for me anyway.
I don't have much need for S-OFF myself -- the only thing I can think of is that it should let adfree android work right after flashing CM. Saves me the extra reboot to flash my symlink-etc-hosts.zip..

?? You could merge it into one zip. You could flash both at the same time (fakeflash)

Because I didn't install it I was waiting for the S-OFF, now I'm glad I didn't have to upgrade my HBOOT

Wow, now it worked....thanks for the tip
EDIT: but the thig that you actually reboot your device in recovery is annoying
sorry guys, I would like to install modaco rom
I have read that Clockwork recovery is required, I have a legend with Hboot 1.01
what Can I do?
thanks

For the 15 billionth time, fakeflash.

Yeah, I know, I know. It's just me being lazy end letting ROM Manager do everything for me. Download through ROM Manager and then flash both zips from recovery might be the most convenient.
(..or just S-OFF, which I plan to do when I get back from vacation )
waiting and waiting. We should be pacient.
I don't even own a Legend, but I've lurked around the Desire, Desire Z and G2 forums - and I own a Nexus One.
I've noticed that procedures for downgrading the HBOOT on these devices seem to involve making a modification to the misc partition, which then fools the phone into accepting a RUU/PASSIMG/etc that downgrades HBOOT.
I see here a procedure that downgrades from the Froyo OTA using a similar idea:
http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-legend-legend-modaco-com/323201/downgrading-from-froyo-ota/
But the resulting HBOOT is still 1.001.
Could this method be adapted to accept a RUU that will roll back the HBOOT even further?
Nope. Current HBOOT (1.x) does not allow to fool itself and this is the main problem. You may play with misc and downgrade rom, but HBOOT remains the same. The only 0.43 version of HBOOT allows downgrading.
Is it possible to downgrade the software from before the OTA? I have the RUU
ive tried and it gives me a problem because of the hboot version... im stuck in the same situation you are

Currently... no.
I've tried the RUU and a PG38IMG.zip, and neither worked. So, not likely, at the moment.
hey all,
just wondering why on some roms do i need hboot 1.58?
im currently on jbear hboot something, wont that be compatable with all roms?
thanks

The new kernel for ICS requires 1.58.

1.58 hboot is ONLY compatible with the ICS rom and kernel. If you want to go back to a GB rom for example, you will have to downgrade your hboot.
Does the new firmware play nice with older gb roms? I havnt tried it out yet just curious.

Yes, except for the 1.58 bootloader which is technically part of the firmware.

Are there any aosp ROMs that will work with the new firmware/boot? If not how can I install a lower boot to work with them?

not that i know of. you can try this
Nope. Just senseless ROMs. If you want an AOSP ROM just downgrade. Its not hard at all.

If your signature is current and you are still S-ON the only way to change bootloader is to flash an RUU. If you plan on changing bootloaders in the future it would be better to get S-OFF and then you can change pretty easily whenever you want.

Hello!
Is flashing a JB ROM on :
- S-ON
- 1.53.0007 HBOOT
safe?
I guess that after flashing I gonna have a different hboot (correct me if I'm wrong).
And how about flashing from JB to ICS?
Thanks for advices, I'm really new into android roms and can't afford a new phone if this one would be bricked.

You need to read the OP for the ROM. Usually they say what HBOOT is needed.
I can tell you that in order to go to JB you will need to S-Off first.

Sadly dev haven't mentioned Hboot nor s-off or s-on. That's why I'm asking
Btw. Isn't only difference between S-ON and S-OFF that you have to flash boot.img via fastboot usb if you're S-ON?

No. Look here for an explantion of s-on versus s-off.
At quick search in the thread you linked yieled people saying you need 1.39.
If your phone is the gsm version, you will have to downgrade your hboot to 1.49. Now in order to downgrade, you're going to need to be s-off

You're most likely going to end up bootlooping and confused. Go ahead and stay on stock rooted, and get S-Off, it's almost no risk, as failing to do the procedure right just means you have to keep trying.
you need non-ics bootloader so you need s-off first (wiretrick) then downgrade BL and then update radio.
