hboot is one of the bootloaders, but its not causing bricks here. Device enters into hboot when everything is ok.

Yes, everything what boots BEFORE hboot (- PBL of course ) must be from same build. So, SBLs (like you said) + RPM fw + trustzone.

Could this firmware somehow cause my wifi to be inconsistent? turns off/on repeatedly, drops signal and won't reconnect. stuck in 3g, etc. I have never had any wifi problems like this before and it started just after rebooting from flashing the zip for new radio, pri and firmware. tried a clean install of meanbean as well. still wifi is no good!

Re: [FIRMWARE][S-OFF/1.12 HBOOT] Jewel Firmware Collection - Latest Radio: 1.12.11.12

I flashed the new radio and pri.. not the full firmwear zip I took out all the other stuff but left the new radio and pri.. my question is is it safe to downgrade my radio and pri to where it was before??
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrrogers1:
NO NO NO!! That'll be a one way ticket to Brick City.

What exactly are you trying to do and why do you want to (or are asking) downgrade? The reason Captain and others do not post bit and pieces anymore is to prevent people from taking, "bits and pieces" and mixing and matching only to end up with malfunctioning devices. They warn of this in multiple places. You should have taken the whole Firmware zip that they provided but I'll tell you, if you fail to heed this warning, you will brick your device and it won't miraculously come back from this brick.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fanaticny:
Re: [FIRMWARE][S-OFF/1.12 HBOOT] Jewel Firmware Collection - Latest Radio: 1.12.11.12

So it's safe to flash the whole zip? I was under the impression that only the radio and pri were safe to flash

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] FusionX:
It is the way you are supposed to flash it, the whole zip, as posted by captain throwback. HOWEVER, you must be on the most current firmware available (3.15) before you flash 3.16, otherwise you will brick. You should never skip a firmware update. Always go in order, consecutively as they are released to avoid bricking. If you haven't flashed firmware before, find out what firmware you are on and start with the next one that was released until you are on the most current.

An update to this issue... I flashed the stock rooted 3.16 rom and wifi issues are gone. My assumption is that something htc updated in the firmware was conflicting with something in the 3.15 base. I guess I'll hang out on the stock rooted rom until Mikey get's meanbean updated!

Thanks for maintaining the firmware for us, Captain!

Wondering what firmware version do you have?

If you don't know (or can't remember) what version of firmware you have on your device, before attempting to update, go to Settings/About/Software Information/More and look at your "Basband Version" which is the radio version you are on.

IN ORDER TO UPGRADE to the 3.16.651.3 JellyBean OTA - LATEST firmware you MUST have the 1.12.11.1119 baseband (aka radio).

IF NOT

IN ORDER TO UPGRADE to the 3.15.651.16 JellyBean OTA firmware you MUST have the 1.12.11.0809 baseband (aka radio).

IF NOT

IN ORDER TO UPGRADE to the 2.13.651.1 ICS OTA firmware you MUST have the 1.05.11.0606 baseband (aka radio).

All of these firmware packages are located here >>>>>> Captain_Throwback's Jewel Firmware thread downloads

Also, people, CHECK WHEN YOU GET INTO the bootloader, AGAIN and make sure you have the CORRECT RADIO listed. It's right underneath your Hboot version (WHICH DOESN'T MATTER).

I hope this helps someone with questions still.

---------- Post added at 12:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:55 PM ----------

This very well could be related to have a 3.15 base rom with the new 3.16 base firmware but lots of people have this situation and everything this is ok with their devices. Maybe try a clean flash of the rom you are on OR grab one of the newly re-based roms. I know I didn't have any issues at all with this setup but as always, YMMV.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] FusionX:
I can confirm that for me, it was related to using an older (3.15) base with the newer firmware. Running stock rooted 3.16 based rom and not a single issue i can find, well, yet. But at least wifi is reliable again.

Re: [FIRMWARE][S-OFF/1.12 HBOOT] Jewel Firmware Collection - Latest Radio: 1.12.11.12

@kao

Yes, that 3.15 will change when you flash a 3.16 based ROM.

So, if I'm on radios/FW from 2.13 build, and hboot 1.12 LP, I need to somehow get my hboot/bootloader up to the same rev as my radios before I could update to the next consecutive FW, is that correct?

Man, this sh1t confuses me. And I hate the idea of doing full FW updates (hboot/radio/PRI)

I'M S-off and never use sense (not sure if using AOSP always has any relevance).

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
HBOOT isn't the issue here. None of these firmware packages touch that.

If you're on the 2.13 firmware, just update first to the 3.15, and THEN to the 3.16. That's it. I think people are making it more complicated than it is.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Re: [FIRMWARE][S-OFF/1.12 HBOOT] Jewel Firmware Collection - Latest Radio: 1.12.11.12

The consensus is that you have to flash the 3.15 firmware update before going to 3.16 firmware, otherwise you'll end up with an expensive brick:eek:

I am s-off on 3.15.651.16 with my baseband version being 1.12.11.1119 and I also used regaw mod to change my hboot and s-off writing to say s-on on the bootloader. Since the bootloader says I am s-on with hboot being 2.09.0000 will I have problems taking this update?

What zips should I use if I want to update my firmware,hboot and radios as well as my pri?

I'd advise reading the OP then last 15 pages of this thread, all the information you need should be there and then some.

This is not the thread you want to NOT know exactly what you are doing in. Blindly performing this update with no idea of what you are doing makes the chance if you bricking your device higher.

That is NOT your Hboot version. That is your baseband (radio) version found in settings/about/software information/more.

You'll have to reboot into the bootloader using custom rom power menu or by turning your phone off and holding volume down + power in order to read your Hboot version.

Re: [FIRMWARE][S-OFF/1.12 HBOOT] Jewel Firmware Collection - Latest Radio: 1.12.11.12

Flashing a ROM based on 3.16 software will cause it to change. Simply upgrading firmware will not cause it to change.

IIRC the ONLY way you are ever going to get 100% if the firmware bits you need is to s-off that device OR relock and take the OTA. I don't recommend the relock and whole heartily recommend gaining s-off, then I'd recommend you flash the last RUU through the bootloader (I believe Capt has linked to it somewhere in here) to get up to the 3.15 base rom and baseband then update to the latest 3.16 baseband. You have never (because of being s-on) got all the necessary components.

Even though it's been stated multiple times (many many times) the build number has to do with the ROM and nothing to do with the Firmware (unless you ran a RUU which includes the firmware AND rom).

I'm sure this is more on HTC's side, but is there some type of software check that can be preformed before a firmware flash, that would alert of pending doom (either downgrading or skipping firmware revisions)?

I have personally not had this issue, but the number of posts pertaining to bricked phones is haunting.

I believe stock prevents firmware rollback and rooting removes that security. However, if you are not rooted, I guess it's a moot point.
