This is not the place to ask that.

If you have to ask why it is important, then it isn't important to you.

ive never taken any ota, but ive used gb roms. not the leak with the new hboot and all that. i took the hboot when i did s-off. am i still good to use this? (havent done much with my phone lately so there wasnt much talk of new/old firmware when i last regularly checked forums)

You already have it I think if you took the hboot when you did S-OFF and you were not on the leak firmware.

OK so I read up on this....from what I gathered this what I did. I'm on the GB firmware with Cleanrom ICS latest version in which I flashed the old firmware patch. So I downloaded the bear for GB (windows) and went through the process. I also accepted their hboot. It appears everything went well. My understanding is that I do not need to flash this ENG Boot...correct? Reason I'm asking is when I reboot it says I need a sim card installed.....but after it goes away my phone runs fine. I have 4G and can make calls. Weird......any suggestions. Thanks con for putting out this thread. I'll reboot and keep checking...I couldn't find this issue anywhere else, although there are now way too many s-off threads. Thanks in advance.

I think their gb hboot is the eng hboot. The reason it is needed is because the GB hboot blocks fastboot stuff until you unlock again which is not what we want.

So I'm good....thanks for your fast response. As for the sim card warning sign.....it goes away quickly once my phone grabs connection. Since I'm home and my connection defaults and connects to wifi immediately, plus I use juice defender, it takes a few seconds to grab 4g, which in turn defaults back to wifi only. Not sure if this causes it as it never did that before. Regardless the phone works great. Thanks again bro for your help.

idk try reflashing the rom. I don't think the issue is the hboot, but I could be wrong.

Ahhhhh.....so I was reading some more and I came up with the idea from a thread with someone having somewhat of a similar problem, to reflash the old firmware patch. Seems to have worked. Running great so far.....hopefully it stays that way. Thanks.

are you running ICS and did this?

On GB, my 4G icon dissapears and it tells me I have no connection, but under about phone it shows me connected to 4g. Starting to wonder if it is the ENG Hboot?

already tried a few different GB roms, and tried original radios, and OTA radios to same issue.

I'm running CleanRom 4.3 Standard ICS 4.0.3 on GB firmware, with the old firmware patch from this rom's OP. I figured out I had to reflash the old firmware patch again after s-off which seemed to do the trick for me.

Although I'm not sure this is the same issue.

It could be the hboot. You can reflash the stock on if you want.

I guess there is no easy way to do this apart from flashing the RUU again?

You could take out everything but the hboot and firmware files and flash it, I'm gonna try that out tonight and post it with the old firmware patch later if I can

Who made the firmware patch to begin with?
