Upgrading hboot - HTC Droid DNA

Can someone give me clear instructions how to update hboot and what to download. I am currently on latest radio but I have original 1.15 realse and 1.33 hbot. I would like to run kit kat sense 5 rom but I am afraid I will brick my phone trying ro update hboot. Will this erase everything on my phone to original? Any help on this would be appreciated! Thank you!

This is what @.torrented send me in a PM. New hboot/booloader has been added
I just added the newest bootloader to my collection thread and it is the 1.54.0000 bootloader
look for 3.06 ota hboot
I just assumed it was the new hboot image. @.torrented Am I wrong?

But RUU'ing will also erase your whole device too, unless that is the intention

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.

I believe the hboot that you want is the original hboot that came with the evo on rogers, how do I know? I'm with rogers and when I unlocked my phone through rev. That was the number on my phone.

downgrabe my hboot 1.53.0007 to 1.49.0008 i am unlocket , rooted and s-on
i have the RUU .exe for the hboot 1.49.0008 i have tried installing it but i get an it fails beacuse my bootloader is updated (the only reason why i want to istall the RUU is to downgrade my hboot)
so now i dont know how to downgrade my hboot
ps sorry for my bad english
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.

No. Roms don't include radios or any other firmware. You'd have to relock and RUU to get the radios. And if you want the 3.16 radio you'd have to take the OTA.

Since you relocked, I'm assuming you know how to use fastboot. Go to here and download the RUU 3.15.651.16 - HBOOT 2.09 from the right. This will give you an RUU.zip. Throw that in your fastboot folder on the pc and follow step 8 and 9. This will run the RUU and put you in 3.15 Stock.

If you take the 3.16 OTA, only the newest version of TWRP (2.4.1.0) will work. And the only roms you'll be able to use are those that use 3.16 as a base. Any other base and the touchscreen might not work.

Hello everyone,
I am currently running this version rooted with S-On. I have been trying a long time to get S-off to work on my device, but I cannot find the proper method. If someone can direct me to which s-off method works with 3.17.651 and hoot 2.09, that would be great!. Thanks for your help.
The only one that would work for me was moonshine. Have you tried that yet?

I am on 3.17.651 and I was not able to successfully S-OFF with Moonshine.

You don't have to be S-off to run CyanogenMod. You need to extract the boot.img from the ROM and flash it via fastboot commands in the bootloader. Then you can flash the ROM itself from recovery. I explain this pretty clearly in my guide.

[Q] Updating radios and hboot problems

So i achieved s-off using the rumrunner method and it worked great. So the next step i took was updating the hboot and radios , which worked to an extent.... Before i updated them they were somewhere like hboot 2.25 and radios 1.2 or something along those lines. I used this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38527788&postcount=745 and it updated and i assumed it was the most up to date but then i later checked more carefully and it only updated me to hboot 2.27.0000 and radios 2.22.10.0801r/2.22.10.0803r So i downloaded it again and checked the md5 like last timed and updated it again and its still the same. I dont know whats wrong can anyone help me out? Thanks guys!
From reading the surrounding posts around the post you linked, it seems like as of THAT time those were the latest. I'm not sure, but I think in one of neo's threads has the latest.

Either rename to PH98IMG.zip and place on SD Card and allow to flash in HBoot, or just flash with CWM/TWRP.

Simply put... there isn't one.
4.5.605.14 was only ever released as an OTA update, no RUU publicly exists, all we have is cherry picks from the OTA.
The best you could do there is flash the last available RUU (3.14.605.12) and manually apply the updates.

So i achieved s-off using the rumrunner method and it worked great. So the next step i took was updating the hboot and radios , which worked to an extent.... Before i updated them they were somewhere like hboot 2.25 and radios 1.2 or something along those lines. I used this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38527788&postcount=745 and it updated and i assumed it was the most up to date but then i later checked more carefully and it only updated me to hboot 2.27.0000 and radios 2.22.10.0801r/2.22.10.0803r So i downloaded it again and checked the md5 like last timed and updated it again and its still the same. I dont know whats wrong can anyone help me out? Thanks guys!

You installed the firmware for the 4.03.605.2 OTA. There is a more recent Global RUU 4.05.605.14 that has the 2.28 hboot with the 0123r/0124r radios. You can just flash the firmware without losing your recovery or flashing the full RUU. Rename to PH98IMG.zip and flash in HBOOT.

The first link (post #33) has both radios and Hboot... the second is Hboot only (post #26). You should do them as a pair, although it is possible to have an "unmatched" pair of hboot/radios, on the 0123r/0124r radios some people did have issues if they didn't have 2.28 Hboot, if I remember right.

Thanks for clarifying. I see you already had him pointed in the right direction after rereading. :good:
There is really no place to get the full RUU?

Correct... No RUU or even a full official ROM image exists publicly. I do know that an exe RUU exists for 4.5.605.14, but it may never see the light of day. I know the person who leaked the previous RUUs to AndroidPolice in the past, they have access to the file but there are other reasons he can't release it, I honestly don't know anymore details.

I got 3 messages in a row about assistance with this issue lol. So I figured it was urgent. Sorry it took me a little bit to reply. I think I've got the s-off version of the latest update somewhere on either my Rezound or my website data stash. I'll have to look for it when I get the chance. My personal opinion: if you are able to flash roms, fastboot, adb, and boot into recovery from the boot loader, there's really no other reason to update it.

Restore to stock?

I've had my 3vo for a while and now I want to revert it back to stock rooted.
I feel like a complete noob again at this 3D stuff.
I used the wire trick when I rooted and I think I read somewhere that you can't restore back and be able to get root again.
I have the PG86IMG file and the ruu exe.
What do I need to do to get my phone back to stock and still be able to get root again?
Edit: HBOOT info:
Shooter XC ENG S-OFF RL

Thank you for the ruu.
Is it safe to just run that to revert even though I used the wire trick to get root?
And will I still be able to root again?

As long as you didn't switch to a custom unsigned Hboot it should run fine. As you are S off.

If i were you i would leave it be with S off. Then run a 2.89 RUU which will bring the device to 4.0.4, 1.58 hboot
Then flash Twrp or cwm via fastboot, flash SuperSU or Superuser and you're good to go.

Did you have some way I could check if it would be safe to just do the RUU?
Or do you know that it is safe to just run the RUU?
I just want to be back on a stock, fully functioning, rom and still have root. My current one is stock based but the dev abandoned it with bugs remaining.
