So the new firmware from the 4.4 update for Google Edition (3.58.1700.5) still contains hboot 1.54.

Sorry, I guess we will have to wait for a future update for them to upgrade it to hboot 1.55.
[One (M7) Android Development] clsA:
I'll flash it and report back if fastboot works in windows 8.1

please do.....If fastboot still doesn't work, I guess I will just flash an updated firmware with a 1.55 hboot and miss out on all the dark goodness
[One (M7) Android Development] clsA:
Success !!

the new hboot is updated to work in windows 8.1

Here is the custom firmware from [MENTION=1186202]baadnewz[/MENTION] I deleted everything but hboot - radio and rpm.img and android-info.txt

I will update the Dark Bootloader firmware packages with the new hboot within 24 hours.

[One (M7) Android Development] shokka9:
Sweet; I have the red warning text, and would like to use a darkbootler too (and remove the red text also).

Looking forward to this.

:cool:
[One (M7) Android Development] JEANRIVERA:
have you had the chance to do the dark bootloader with the new 1.54 hboot that works on windows 8.1?
[One (M7) Android Development] shokka9:
I ended up just flashing the firmware from baadnewz website; it has the same black bootloader. However, I am not sure if it works on Windows 8.1. I just flashed it using Windows 7 (now back into osX :cyclops:).

Doesn't have the black loading screen, so the padlock looks bad with the white boot screen, but its a lot better than the red HTC dev text!

Good luck

:cool:
[One (M7) Android Development] crushalot:
Yes, sorry I forgot about Thanksgiving.

All Dark Bootloader packages have been updated with the latest hboot from 3.58.1700.5
[One (M7) Android Development] crushalot:

[One (M7) Android Development] cubsfan187:
I do use a black boot splash. 1 I made in fact. It still sticks out like a whore at a meeting of virgins.
[One (M7) Android Development] ReM0815:
So thats your sight.

I think the compare with whores is a little bit overstate

I don`t know how often u boot your phone.

In my opinion, its a little locker on a black screen.. and he don`t hurt anybody.

Boot your phone, put it down close your eyes vor 5 sec, and problem gone.
[One (M7) Android Development] cubsfan187:
I do a lot of testing for a few devs and also test mods I make for exposed and flashable ones as well. My phone reboots probably about 20 times a day. I know it doesn't hurt anyone to see it. I was just asking of 1 can be done without it. Then I could use a lighter splash screen once in a while too. It never hurts to ask. The worst that can be said is no, I won't do that.
[One (M7) Android Development] shokka9:
I agree; I use the new firmware, and to be fair, the current affair is better than the red warning text, but the padlock image kinda sticks out like a sore thumb too.

I may even flash the Google splash screen (as it's black) but I kinda want to keep the HTC one:cool:.

Hi!

I want to backup my stock firmware before flash this, how can I do it?

I haven't find any guides on the web... maybe with fastboot?

Thanks in advance :)
[One (M7) Android Development] reaper000:
I may be mistaken (so please correct me if I'm wrong) but you can't backup firmware, per se. You CAN flash older firmware that you've downloaded, writing over newer firmware, and therefore reverting to what you had before.

For example, you're on 3.62 and want 3.83. You download both of them, and flash 3.83. Want to go back? Flash 3.62.
[One (M7) Android Development] LRNZ09:
I know that, but I can't find any zip of my stock branded firmware (TIM Italy)...

I'm stock non-rooted for now, s-offed and unlocked: I''ve tried dd on adb but it requires su.

Any suggestions? :rolleyes:

Please stop double posting and quoting the entire OP. Now there shouldn't be a need to use that package any longer.

The GPE firmware already has the dark bootloader. So you can just use the newest GPE firmware.

Try the firmware posted in the GPE conversion thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2358781

Also for the future you will want to include more details about your phone. I have never seen that error and the package flashed fine on my phone.
[One (M7) Android Development] crushalot:
I looked and the only thing different in the .11 package is a new radio version. However it doesn't contain any of the touchpad update or sb1 block updates.

So if you flash the 4.19.401.9 firmware, you will be up to date except the latest radio. The radio only package can already be found in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2419699

So just download and flash the radio from this link:

http://d-h.st/7ci

Due this I will not create a 4.19.401.11 darkboot package as there is no need and it could lead to confusion as it doesn't contain the improvements from 4.19.401.9 and it is not a good practice to distribute mixed version firmware packages.

Let me know if you all want any other version, that is newer or of a different variant number.

Is it recommended flashing the dark hboot if i want to cont to use a sense rom or would i have to flash a gpe rom if i flash the dark hboot? Also if im running a certain hboot and radio do i have to select the hboot that match what i have or can i flash which ever one i want.

Sense / AOSP no Problem with dark hboot.

I also have it and running Sense 6.0.

Also had it on OSE Rom (AOSP)

Does anyone have a backup of the stock bootloader?

Does flashing stock hboot return bootloader to stock?

Thanks
