and isn't the 1.54 preferable anyways? 1.56 does not work with alarm RTC, if phone is off it won't turn on and wake you up... 1.54 will wake you up even if phone is turned off... can anyone clarify for certainty?
[One (M7) Android Development] sharksfan7:
I'm planning on updating my One using the latest RUU for the AT&T variant (RUU_M7_UL_K44_SENSE55_MR_Cingular_US_4.18.502.7). Since I plan on running it with the stock ROM for a while, I want to keep the firmware that comes with that RUU, but would also like to have the dark bootloader. Since there isn't a package available with this firmware version, can I take the latest one available and just delete all the images other than the hboot_signedbyaa.img and flash that? Or are there things in the other images that need to be included in order for the GPE dark Hboot to work?
[One (M7) Android Development] crushalot:
Yes, you can just delete all the files other than the hboot.img (and android-info.txt of course) from the zip file to flash just the dark bootloader onto any firmware.
[One (M7) Android Development] sharksfan7:
Thanks [MENTION=4139782]crushalot[/MENTION]. Haven't updated my phone yet w/ the RUU, but I wanted to try flashing the dark bootloader by itself anyway. Downloaded one of your packages, deleted all the .img's except for hboot, and followed your flashing instructions (holding my breath & praying I don't kill my phone the entire time :eek: ). It said SUCCESSFULL after first flash, but I didn't want to take a chance so I ran it again as per the instructions. Rebooted into bootloader and was able to exhale.

One note: My current version is 3.17.502.3. I downloaded that package first, even though I knew I wasn't going to use any of the firmware files. Checked the md5 and it matched. When I tried to delete the img's, I got error messages. Tried with both 7zip & WinRAR. 7zip says, "Error deleting file or folder. Not implemented". WinRAR says "J:\Android\HTC_One\Hboot\3.17.502.3_firmware_darkboot.zip: The archive is corrupt". I then downloaded the 4.19.401.9 package and was able to delete the img's without problem. Not sure if those errors indicate anything major w/ that package. Just thought I'd bring it to your attention just in case.

Thanks again.

1.54.401.5 ?
[One (M7) Android Development] gagp2p:
this isnt for M7 its the M8 firmware - flash it and you will brick your phone ...
[One (M7) Android Development] leDev13:
So... ARHD 62 to be avoided?
[One (M7) Android Development] gagp2p:
no .. it just based of M8 1.54.401.5 firmware but stay with latest M7 firmware you can flash ARHD (and others) without problems.

while flashing rom it no change your firmware. Always take care that you use M7 firmware - i read about some ppl that have brick theyr phone cz flashing M8 firmware on M7...

[One (M7) Android Development] Random667:
I second that, I have updated to the 1.56 bootloader (4.19.401.11) and would like to get the dark bootloader back.

Thanks! :victory:
[One (M7) Android Development] sharksfan7:
If you already have the latest firmware, just flash the hboot.img by itself. Download one the the firmware packages in the OP, open the archive and delete all the images except hboot_signedbyaa.img and android-info.txt. You may also want to edit the android-info.txt to reflect the firmware version you are on (mainver: 4.19.401.11). If you don't, it'll show the wrong version in HBOOT. Flash the modified zip exactly the same way as the full firmware package.

EDIT: my friends are very surprise for the DARKBOOT version 1.57 ....?
[One (M7) Android Development] Jonny:
Technically 1.54 - it's the latest GPE HBoot. However, I've hex edited it to say 1.57 purely because I wanted it to say that :p
[One (M7) Android Development] Jonny:
Hehe answered in above post, purely aesthetic reasons on my part because I was flashing it to my own device. Didn't really intend to upload it but the OP didn't update this thread so I thought I'd share it ;)
[One (M7) Android Development] gagp2p:
it would good when you give a information that you hex edited the hboot,

or will be all ok when people go back s-on ?

i know why i just get firmwares from trusted sources.
[One (M7) Android Development] iElvis:
You can't go back to s-on with a modded hboot through normal methods. The writesecureflag process will fail the signature check and stop.
[One (M7) Android Development] Rix70:
Good info...

Inviato col my ONE tramite il my ONE
[One (M7) Android Development] EaglesGPC:
this is true
[One (M7) Android Development] gagp2p:
also with that way - if people do not know the hboot is hex edited they broken the phone - thats the point.
[One (M7) Android Development] EaglesGPC:
this is also true
[One (M7) Android Development] Jonny:
I forgot ok, no big deal. As I said, this was made for me, by me, and wasn't intended to share it. I happen to have a riff box and JTAG equipment lying around so bricking a phone is not really a problem for me (hence why I test all firmwares I upload on my own device, rather brick something I can resurrect easily than another users phone ;) ).

I modded the hboot quite a while ago so I'd forgotten until it was mentioned.

If people try to go S-ON anyways they should always, always, always make sure they flash the absolute 100% stock and full firmware (can't stress that enough). Even with the stock unedited GPE hboot, I wouldn't recommend changing writesecureflag until the proper hboot for the current firmware had been flashed.
[One (M7) Android Development] gagp2p:
wasnt against you, me and all the others are happy for that people share the stuff

was just to remember to avoid later or one day problems :D
[One (M7) Android Development] Rix70:
scuse me but..this problem for eventually return to S-ON...not present with darkboot in this OP?
[One (M7) Android Development] iElvis:
It won't brick the phone. It won't do anything at all. If you try running writesecureflag on a phone with a modded hboot, the process will shut down with an error and nothing will happen. The function runs the same signature check that happens on boot with s-on, and if it fails, it doesn't make the change. This is a protective function on HTC's part (since s-off is intended only for internal developer phones, which they don't want to brick).

I'm not saying people shouldn't know if they've got modded hboots, but the risk in having a modded hboot that is that the modding borks something so the phone can't boot properly.
[One (M7) Android Development] rambo69:

What does the "PVT" and "PUT" stand for in the boot loader? My phone is M7_UL PVT. I just saw someone with M7_UL PUT?

---------- Post added at 09:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:13 AM ----------

Works. I have T-Mobile HTC One. First converted to 4.2.2 GPE then 4.3 GPE. I went the Nandroid way for the ROM and RUU for the firmware.

[One (M7) Android Development] moudja:
Is this can be use on HTC One 802w Dual Sim
[One (M7) Android Development] dgtiii:
Well, it's completely up to you, not trying to convince you. Here's my take:

It's a loaded question. Latest radio, and stock (Google) bootloader and Hboot (which I really like, and has no HTC red warning text, so no modified Hboot needed to remove it). Those are the main benefits I can see, which were enough for me.

Downside is the 1.54 Hboot cannot be S-off'd yet (although if you're already S-off, you keep it), and you cannot use the fastboot boot command to boot a recovery image on 1.54.

Hope this helps....
[One (M7) Android Development] dgtiii:
Not sure, but maybe your bootloader has to be unlocked to be over-written?
[One (M7) Android Development] smouker:
Thats possible... But i don't wanna loose my data..

Can I just backing up my data in twrp and after unlocking put it back on??
[One (M7) Android Development] dgtiii:
That, or backup with Titanium and restore afterwards.
[One (M7) Android Development] smouker:
so now i put another radio in the zip and i was able to flash.. in the bootloader is now written 3.06.1700.10

But when i boot up my phone build number says 2.19.401.1.. DAFUUQ??
[One (M7) Android Development] dgtiii:
Glad you could flash! It says 2.19 where exactly? Look in bootloader or fastboot getvar all for your firmware version. If booted and you go to Settings for device info, I'm pretty sure it displays the base for the Rom you are on.
[One (M7) Android Development] smouker:
Yeah if im gonna getvar it says also 3.06.1700.10 like in bootbloader..

yeah if im booted it says in software information 2.19.. well thats possible.. But i Flashed succesfully so...
[One (M7) Android Development] reaper000:
You are correct, sir. The "about phone" in any given rom's "settings" only reports that rom's base.
[One (M7) Android Development] luckylui:
Being that the process you are taking to update, technically isn't the proper way. So to get the ball rolling on updating this you would need to unlock the bootloader.. The bootloader reads the kernel within the boot.img, since you aren't doing it OTA. This process is a little different.. You would need to unlock the bootloader for this to work..

---------- Post added at 01:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:09 PM ----------

You didn't fully convert over. The process went wrong somewhere... Both Bootloader and Android System should report the same #
[One (M7) Android Development] crushalot:
So just a little clarification for anyone asking for color changes. These bootloader files are the stock bootloader files from the 4.3 dump for the Google Play edition. They are different from the stock HTC ones because they are unbranded. I didn't modify any files to create this look, it just happens that since the partition layout is the same we can use this bootloader on non GPe phones.

In order to change the colors you would need to hex edit your hboot, which is not something I would advise.
[One (M7) Android Development] crushalot:
That is incorrect. Only the fastboot getvar all and bootloader screens will show the new firmware version of 3.06.1700.10.

That is because this firmware is only changing the bootloader sections of the phone and does nothing with the /system of whatever rom you are running.

Within android, the software version will show whatever base your rom is running.
[One (M7) Android Development] reaper000:
On a completely separate note, I'm wondering if anyone is else has experienced an increase in speaker volume since flashing the new firmware.

I was on hyperdroid (CM10.2) , nandrioid restored to a sense 4.2.2, flashed the new firmware, and then went back to hyperdroid. And voila, the speakers were noticeably louder than 10 minutes before on the old firmware. About as loud as a sense ROM.

[One (M7) Android Development] crushalot:
The hboot (GPE 1.54) which is what gives the bootloader the dark screen has no effect on the software running on the phone. However the firmware does, so you will want to reference that ROM's thread for firmware info.

You can always deleted everything from the package except the hboot.img and android-info.txt, and that way it will only flash the hboot which is the only component needed for this mod. It will report the version number in the android-info.txt, so you may want to change that to match your actual firmware version if you are flashing the hboot only.

i know what you mean

but only the hboot is different ,i don't know if you also edit the hboot

if you edit also the hboot ,could you not change only the hboot from 6.09.401.10 and then put it in the 6.09.401.5 dark hboot and change the android-info.txt

then you could release it here as 6.09.401.10 dark bootloader
