[S-OFF] HBOOT/ROM Patch for ICS Leak

---

This is a modified HBOOT that is designed to be compatible with ICS while retaining its S-OFF capabilities. It is NOT an ENG hboot, but rather a S-OFF hboot. It still has fastboot capabilities.

This is not my work, but I got the permission to release the modified leak (the full ICS leak) from Unlimited.io team (Hyuh).
This has the modified hboot in it, so you do not need to flash an engineering hboot before flashing the leak. It has everything in it. Just flash this as you would with the normal leak such as:
renaming it to PH85IMG.zip and then flashing it through hboot, or flashing this with fastboot under RUU mode, or whatever method works best for you


The only difference with this is that this is fully compatible with the ICS ROM, while the other ENG hboots are not. ENG hboots still will work, but it is said that this hboot is more compatible.


REMINDER: YOU MUST HAVE S-OFF BEFORE FLASHING THE MODIFIED ROM OR BEFORE FLASHING THE MODIFIED HBOOT!!!

Disclaimer: I am not responsible for bricks or malfunctions you may experience. Flashing a new hboot can be dangerous, so heed caution. (Insert standard disclaimer here)

LINK for the -FULL- modified ICS leak:

CREDITS: Unlimited.io and hyuh for their awesome work, and Football for releasing this leak!


I also took the liberty of pulling the hboot from the modified ICS leak, for those who need to flash the updated hboot on the ICS ROM, as I previously had an incompatible (but working) ENG hboot on the ICS rom. I just flashed this and it worked.

Again, you must have S-OFF!

Instructions: Download the file and then flash in fastboot with this command

fastboot flash hboot updatedhbootICS.img
Note: I used this method when I had an ENG hboot beforehand, so results may vary.
This updated hboot version is 1.93.2222
Link: Look at file attached

Thanks for the post, but the ENG boot loader DOES work just fine with ICS. Don't want other people to be confused.

If it is working, I'm not sure how it is supposedly incompatible.

I'm using the eng hboot with ics right now with no problems........ anyway is the hboot and eng hboot or is it just s-off

Fixed post. It is a regular S-OFF hboot. Hyuh himself said that this hboot update is more compatible with ICS, and that an ENG hboot is NOT necessary.

While an eng hboot is not necessary its more useful then a standard release hboot and its not more compatible its just a bootloader the eng hboot and this hboot are equally compatible with any rom

I'm just rephrasing what hyuh mentioned to me that's all. Nevertheless, it is here.

From what I've seen in the other thread, to flash the NFC part of the ICS update, you need the new HBOOT, and this allows the NFC part to flash correctly
