Like a newbie I was flashing a few RUUs and managed to downgrade to Hboot 1.44 and now bootloader doesn't work with windows 8.1.
Is it possible to use bootloader with windows 8.1 and Hboot 1.44. My device is unlocked and S-off or is there a way to upgrade Hboot without a pc.
Thanks

I did that and for some reason it didn't update my hboot I'm still at 1.44. I'm running 4.19.401.8 but with no fastboot I can't install a TWRP I can't root pretty much anything that requires fastboot.

He probably got while still on hboot 1.44 (pre June 2013), and then just upgraded the firmware (including hboot to 1.54), that would not change S-Off status.

Exactly that ^
bobs ur uncle, fanny's ur aunt etc..........................
I guess it would be a good idea to post some pointers regarding this issue.
If you're s-on and on fw 1.54, you can't use revone to s-off.
Since you can't s-off, you are limited to flashing only RUUs that are compatible with your CID AND same or higher fw than you currently have on your device.
So to sum it all up, if you are on a higher fw than 1.44 and s-on, you are stuck there. The only possible way to s-off might be using a java card but I personally wouldn't go that way, even if you found some place that can do it.

So if going from 1.55 back to 1.44 is not possible. And Getting S-OFF with 1.55 is not possible.
Would Sprint be able to reflash my phone with either a working 1.55 or 1.44?

Try to s-off your phone with hboot 1.54 using rumrunner.
Just got my new laptop running windows 8.1. Now my ONE is not recognized when in fastboot, no fastboot drivers. Did a lot of research and found that everything works on the new hboot 1.55 which I don't run! Does anyone have the fastboot drivers available and can share? Or does anyone know of flashable for just the hboot upgrade?
I ran into the same issue on my home desktop computer with 8.1 after messing around with it I ended up grabbing out my old hard drive and booting back into Windows 7 however I would try flashing the Rumrunner H boot which should be compatible with Windows 8.1 as others have told me but I haven't tested it yet but that is my plan when I have to do my next round of flashing. Your going to have to use a Windows 7 (or xp) computer in order to do that but once you do then you can use your 8.1 computer from then on out
I wonder if I could get just the fastboot drivers if it would work without having to change my hboot. Does anyone have the fastboot drivers only available?
Go read the FAQ, @BD619 has the info you likely need in that thread (stickied).

You will have to upgrade the hboot for it to work on 8.1 regardless of what drivers you get at least that is my understanding. I'm on an older hboot because I did a custom hboot with my name on top. The main reason I did a custom hboot was to get rid of the ugly red development text during boot which rumrunner will do. The bootloader customizer plugin hasn't been updated to the new hboot yet so I would just flash rumrunner hboot. It just says rumrunner at the top and most important red development text is gone.
I'm trying to avoid changing my hboot because I have modded just the way I like it and I've never had a problem with it. But I guess is lose one, gain one!
If we're soff, can we just fastboot flash this firmware

All u need is the rumrunner hboot and Ur good. U do not need to flash any firmware. I've always done the same as u, upgrade firmware without hboot but this time I had to flash just a new hboot. And everything is all good now with windows 8.1! :thumbup:

Nice add to the FAQ, I had 8.1 before it was released so I ran into this issue right away but as it rolls out even more it's going to come up more often. With s-off changing upgrading/downgrading hboots isn't a big deal at all. With s-on you gotta be careful but this is the 1st time I can recall ever that upgrading your hboot has a benefit.

Hi.
I have a rooted HTC one (S-On and HBOOT 1.54) and I'd like to use fastboot on my windows 8.1 64bit, but as far as I know HBOOT 1.55 or higher is compatible with win 8.1. Is there any way to upgrade my HBOOT to a version that I can S-Off it later by using rumrunner.
"rumrunner" states that it works with HBOOT 1.5x ! (for sure) Are HBOOT 1.55 and 1.56 supported by rumrunner or not.
My phone currently running on ARHD 41.0 KitKat and no idea about firmware version since i cannot get it worked with command fastboot getvar all
on win 8.1.
I really appreciate for your quick responses.
Thanks.

Thanks, just before you post, i considered downloading Ubuntu 13.10 and dual boot it with my windows 8.1 so that i can use the fastboot commands + have fun with it( Ubuntu is the best). Again thanks.
BTW, is rumrunner supported 1.55 and 1.56? and is it worth to upgrade hboot ? i mean does it make any difference to have 1.55 or 1.54 (apart from that fastboot compatibility)

1- recommend you use Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and use the 32bit version, not 64!!
2- rumrunner seems to be working fine with most versions of hboot & firmware, the only exception that still seems pending is 3.63.111.x seems a few are having problems with it (I could be wrong though), and hopefully the devs will have that sorted out soon enough.
i am currently on hboot 1.44 s-off. i was thinking about upgrading to hboot 1.55.
i have a couple of questions.
1. is it worth upgrading to 1.55? is there any advantages to upgrading to 1.55?
2. is there a way to successfully upgrade to 1.55 without loosing my s-off? i am not looking to reroot the phone.
1. Only advantage I know of at the moment is if you run Windows 8.1 meaning your phone and PC will be able to communicate while in fastboot. Windows 8.1 and hboot 1.44 your phone is not recognized while in fastboot.
2. You will not loose S-OFF by updating your hboot. You can flash the Full Unmodified Firmware or flash the Rumrunner hboot
thanks for the information.

I can confirm that, I have ran the RUU dozens of times, and never lost S-OFF, I assume they designed it that way because if an HTC engineer is working on the software, it would be easier to flash without having to turn S-OFF everytime it is flashed.
Hi,
Here is the situation.. I have an HTC One..
the hboot is still on 1.44 with s-on.
I want to flash the latest firmware, which is only possible with s-off.. problem is that I'm running a 4.4.2 ROM and trying revone throws an error as the ROM doesn't match the hboot.
Is there anyway I can get s-off easily? or do I have to hunt down a 4.1.2 ROM and flash that before trying to update the firmware?
You can try firewater
I had the same situation, trying to S-OFF with HBOOT 1.44. I was able to get revone's method to work.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314582
The only issue I ran into is at step 4
4. Prepare to gain S-OFF by running the command: ./revone -P

It wouldn't work without root. I used firewater's temp root and it worked perfectly. I did not need my bootloader unlocked or my device rooted.

firewater was the first one I tried cause I'm accustomed to using it with the 1.55 and 1.56 hboot..
didn't work on this run.. and revone keeps failing..
Thinking i'll relock the bootloader and flash the stock ruu with the latest firmware and see if that gets me up to hboot 1.56 and then unlock the bootloader and try firewater again..
any thoughts on this procedure before I try it?

I would try a 4.1.2 rom before you wipe your device with the RUU.
