Thanks for the updates, OP!

Maybe it's just me, but the radio on 3.57 really doesn't seem to make that big a difference from 3.22...unlike the leap from 3.17 to 3.22 which was like night and day. If anything, I'd guess reception on the 3.57 is a tiny fraction worse than 3.22 having flashed just the two radios back and forth.

I'm on straight talk (AT&T) LTE. Anyone else care to report?
[One (M7) Android Development] fohdeesha:
It's pretty much impossible to "test" cell service in the field, especially in a back to back fashion. The EnodeB up on the tower is dynamically altering its transmit power, phased array beamforming, MIMO chain power, and about a thousand other things every couple of seconds. Not to mention other people connected to the sector you're on also getting either TDMA or FDD slots allotted to them as they make calls, transfer data, etc, leading the tower radio (EnodeB) to allot its capacity to them, which is worsened as those other end devices move around, drive through foliage, request larger timeslots by the minute as their SNR worsens, etc.

There are simply a million variables that make trying to test a small difference on an end device pretty much impossible. Hell I've seen speed tests go from 5mbps to 65mbps thirty seconds later without changing anything because either someone else was done pulling data, a MIMO chain freed up to beam-form in my direction, etc. Run a speed test now and 5 minutes from now without changing anything and you'll see what I mean.

Any teeny differences these radio firmwares make (I'd wager mostly none in the realm of signal performance, it's mostly power efficiency tweaks, fast dormancy, carrier equipment/handoff compatibility, that kind of thing) are barely noticeable compared to the nature of cell networks

Hey Guys,

I have flashed the GE 3.06.1700.10 Version and write SUPERCID. After that I reverse to s-on accidentally. Is there a way to become s-off btw. to downgrade this Version to hboot 1.44 so that I can s-off?

It seems that these Version have a bad radio reception. :(

Thanks!

If you have S-off (I would guess you do since you flashed this) you can remove it.

You will have to search for the thread with the instructions.

Hi there,

Just flashed the dark modded hboot. I guess it only worked partially as even though the fastboot background is indeed black, the boot screen , second screenshot in op is still white. actually, there is a color mismatch, such as the lock symbol at bottom seems to be displaying in reverse.

any other way to gain the black boot background?

I have only flashed whatever I downloaded from last link: 3.57.401.500 Firmware - Included Radio: 4A.20.3263.30

thank you,

Hey Guys,

I flashed this bootloder and accidently make s-on again. My Firmware is 3.06.1700.10 when I now change my firmware to 2.24.401.1 (with an Hex Hack at 0p19), I could not unlock the device.

fastboot oem unlock will bring an error: command not found

fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin will succeeded his command but with no confirm screen.

Have anyone a solution for that?

THX
[One (M7) Android Development] crushalot:
Not quite sure how to respond to this post. I just want to clarify for anyone reading this:

FLASHING THIS PACKAGE DOES NOT MAKE YOU LOSE S-OFF.

When you go around changing hex values on important partitions and you make a mistake you need to be prepared for the consequences.

I do not have a solution for your issue. I'm sorry.

Perhaps flash the signed firmware for 2.24.401.8 and try unlocking your bootloader again. Then try to get S-off again, and then DON'T mess with it.

When someone say they accidentally turned s-on, it makes me think perhaps that person doesn't know 100% what they are doing and that is dangerous for someone with S-Off.
[One (M7) Android Development] nathlynn22:
Is this flash able on 2.24.401.8 it does look amazing to be fair
[One (M7) Android Development] crushalot:
While I'm sire it's possible to back port (the hboot) it to older firmwares, that's not something I am going to do.

If you are S-off and able to flash these, there is no reason not to be on a much newer firmware.
[One (M7) Android Development] crushalot:
If there are others who want the Dark Bootloader on older firmware, let me know. Maybe I will put some of those together if there is a demand.

Thanks for getting back to me crushalot. I presume my 2.24.401.8 is an old firmware. And I am now s-off hboot 1.54. so only way to do it would be to update firmware. But if you could produce a dark bootloader for my version that would be great I can easily fastboot it to my phone thanks

[One (M7) Android Development] crushalot:
There is no reason to at this point. We are using hboot only, not the entire firmware which means any gains/improvements associated with a firmware are not in play here. We are only using the hboot for the dark bootloader effect.

I have looked at (and flashed) both and they both carry 1.54 version and are so similar, there is no reason to change it.

You need to flash separately custom splash screen, see this guide: LINK ;)

Warning about win8.1 and hboot1.54

I'm posting this to hopefully help someone avoid my mistakes of this evening...

You need to have hboot1.55 to run fastboot commands under Windows 8.1

Basically, I was running 3.57 with hboot1.55 when I decided to upgrade to 3.62 with the dark bootloader (hboot1.54).

After the first fastboot "flash zip fastboot flash zip 3.62.401.1_firmware_darkboot.zip" I lost the ability to fastboot again, because my previous hboot1.55 was of course replaced by hboot 1.54 of the flashed package... and Windows 8.1 does not work with hboot1.54. Any fastboot command was met with < waiting for device >. Being noobish, I looked around for hours before someone suggested this in another thread.

Now don't get me wrong -- I don't blame anybody for my misadventures but myself. The OP deserves a ton of credit for making these firmware packages for us to flash. But if you're running Win8.1, please be aware that you'll lose fastboot capability if you flash any firmware package with hboot1.54 (and under, probably). As for me, I'm now going to flash hboot 1.55 using a Win8.0 machine...

[One (M7) Android Development] crushalot:
I don't follow you question.

If you have S-off, then you don't have worry about hboot version as you can always downgrade it if needed. New hboot should not take away S-off. However certain firmware package may cause you to lose s-off along with a new hboot, but I'm sure it should be noted in the post.

[One (M7) Android Development] 99piotrek:
In my opinion we don't need that....

You know why......

Because if you don't know that you shouldn't flash the firmware....

It's really not for everybody.....

Flashing firmware changes the most important partitions in your phone...

So it's easily understandable that if something goes wrong...

You WILL F**"UP your phone.....
[One (M7) Android Development] LibertyMarine:
Yeah you're right but I still think that newbies should be warned, because when I read the posts in this forum they flash way more things they need or they ought to. So warning them wouldn't hurt us and I could help some guys losing several hundret dollars... But I can't really say more about this whole situation because I'm not really a developer I just write scripts with adb and fastboot to make these flashing processes more secure. So I really don't understand anything of coding kernels, modifying hboot's. But yeah that about this warning is just my personal opinion about this problem. Would appreciate a feedback :D

[One (M7) Android Development] JEANRIVERA:
There are to many people with the same issue as me that they can't install the Intel drivers for win8 x64 cus they aren't compatible for some reason and they need 1.55 hboot to make the device work on fastboot or bootloader mode so they can send fastboot commands
