[Q] Flashing Hboot - Answered!

I see that most CM7's require the new hboot. I have flashed, pushed, fastbooted, just about anything you can do with ADB and am quite comfortable with it but i can't find anywhere the instructions on just "how to" flash the new hboot to the N1. Is it as easy as placing the zip on the sd and flashing through recovery or is there more to it? I even tried looking in the Wiki and it showed the newest hboot but not how to flash. Thanks in advance!!

I thought it was possible to flash from recovery but after some digging around i'm not so sure now. Best to check with somebody who has done this

I flashed new hboot using cw recovery just this morning. No worries.

Thanks for the reply!

fastboot flash hboot whatever_hboot_you_want.img

Hi, am trying to flash my HBOOT, downloaded d6096cac5e9f.signed-hboot-0.35.0017.zip and currently trying to flash but getting this error:
Code:
$ ./fastboot flash hboot hboot.img
sending 'hboot' (512 KB)... OKAY
writing 'hboot'... INFOadopting the signature contained in this image...
INFOsignature checking...
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
The phone is unlocked and fastboot can see the device, any ideas?

I think what they are saying is you can flash that .zip through clockwork and not worry about fastboot. Try that and let me know if that works for you.

just disable verification check and then flash. worked for me

Just in the process of rooting the phone... just rooted it and about to install RA recovery.. guess I'll flash it through that

Just tried to flash in RA Recovery got the following:
Code:
Install:d6096cac5e9f.signed.hboot-0.35.0017.zip?
Press Trackball to confirm,
any other key to abort.
Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:No signature (8 files)
E: Verification failed
Zip verification failed!
Zip isn't signed correctly!
Installation aborted.
Surely if the thing is signed then there shouldn't be a problem with the signature?

Check the md5 on the file...

Hi,
the md5sum is coming back with:

Try this in AR recovery and see if you can flash then.

In AR recovery main menu select flash zip, then in that menu under "select zip" is toggle verification. Select that once and you will get a warning that unsinged zip can corrupt. then you can choose "select zip" and flash the hboot zip from the sd card.

I don't think that's correct. It should be: fastboot flash misc whatever_hboot_you_want.img

Thanks for the tip, just wondering if anyone can confirm the md5sum, there isn't one shown on the sticky for kernels and radios.
Cheers

That's the correct value. Note that the d6096cac5e9f is the prefix of the sha1 checksum.

Also, when pushing through fastboot with the firmware update the hboot updates but I get the remote 90 error issue. It doesnt seem to want to update the radio, so I wonder how much of the firmware even pushed to my device..

If it's a zip from the Radio thread just flash it from recovery

Could be a bad download.
Try a different USB port...USB 2 work best.
Try a different PC.

So I checked again and I was wrong, I'm not S-Off...that was my other HTC ONE, I thought I'd done the same to this one.
But Now I'm having problems...I want to do a firmware update to fix Viper 7.0.1 issues with data/connectivity but it's still not letting me.
Will I be able to flash the updated firmware in the full version with S-On?
I've being running RumRunner all day on different computers and different usb ports...still no luck

Try Firewater for s-off.
Yes you can flash the Full Firmware while s-on but you will have to re-lock your bootloader to do so which means unlocking again and wiping your phone.

Put the firewater file in your adb/fastboot/platform tools folder, open a cmd window then copy and paste the commands on the firewater site.

I had a similar problem, so I bought a MicroSD card and trying flashing the RUU that way and it worked on the first try.

RUU went through. Now maybe by some chance firewater will work...

Most likely it won't and you'll need to use the Sunshine exploit.

Firewater won't work. If you look at my thread from a couple days ago I had the exact same issues. Ruu in fastboot, unlock bootloader, install twrp 281, and run sunshine.
