I don't know why I still bother responding to this thread
Which guide are you following????? Where did you get the above stuff from??? (
Do you purposely have the full intention of doing it wrong??)
So I'm gonna give this one more try:
You obviously have an obsession with hboot version, but
you do realize that hboot gets updated with firmware? So when you take OTA updates, hboot is going to get updated too!!!
^^ is that understood? can we stop the constant hboot questions now??
Here's what you're going to do:
1- go to my guide and read the first post again including the FAQ, so you realize YOU CANNOT USE WIN8.1
2- download the recovery and Guru Bootloader Reset from the first post
3- download the ruu.zip and nandroid backup and stock recovery you need (the ones i mentioned somewhere before)
4- unzip the nandroid backup
5- place all these files and folder (the folder you get from the nandroid) in your adb/fastboot folder
6- go to post #4 in my guide and FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS (
don't invent stuff, just follow the instructions)
----> in step 6 of the guide you will receive your first OTA, which will be either another 1.xx (still hboot 1.44) or 2.xx (hboot 1.54), and STOP after 1st OTA
----> when the 1st OTA completes successfully, you go S-ON
----> after that, you can take the rest of OTAs to 3.xx (hboot 1.55), and if you receive 4.xx update hboot will be upgraded to 1.56
for a "walkthrough" you can take a look and post #7 in my guide, it has all the command prompt outputs and pictures of what you can expect.
