Hey,

I've got an HOX from T-Mobile and the CID is T-mob101.
The HBoot version is 0.96.0000.

Is it possible to update the HBoot? At the moment i can't use Android Revolution HD because even after flashen the kernel first and then the rom it doesn't work.

The phone is rooted and still S-ON.

Would be nice if anyone could help me.

If you have a backup, you can restore this and make the official update and after flash a rom.

Or, you can see if there is a firmaware.zip for upgrade your hboot :)

Hey,

Thanks for your answer.
But where to get such a zip?
I don't have any backup...
Maybe anyone else?

Sooo,

1.
I tried to restore a backup of my cid T-mob101 but even after the checksum5-check and the "restore complete" there is only an bootloop...

2.
When I try to install the firmware.zip there is only "can't open bla bla installation abroted (bad)"

so it seems as if both ways don't work. Awwww I hate the Telekom :D

1) Have you flashed the boot.img??

2) you have to flash the firmware from fastboot and not from recovery, you know how to flash a firmware??

See the second link in post by bartdely...
You have to relock the bootloader, reboot in ruu mode and flash the firmware :)
After you have to unlock the bootloader and flash a JB rom ;)

Hey,

the CID of my device isn't listed in your link. So I tryed to relock and flash the firmware but it fails.

If I try the second method I don't update the HBoot...

I already had an Rom with 4.2.1 on the HOX (IceColdJelly) but I wan't to update to use another one.

So for me there is no way to update the HBoot version? What the heck, is this possible. :'(

Step 1: Flash a new JellyBean Sense ROM of your choice --> current Android Revolution HD

Step 2: Flash a custom kernel --> Downloaded zip in Recovery

Step 3: Flash boot.img --> via OneClickTool

Step 4: Reboot
--> boot progress starts --> nothing happens....
