Hi,

HBOOT is bootloader. It lives inside NAND's first partition, mtd0 (if partition map is MTD). It is loaded in memory (RAM) when device is switched ON. Its jobs are:

Check the Hardware.

Initialize the Hardware.

Start the Operating System (Either Android or Recovery).

HBOOT can also support doing more than this like flashing ROMs.

Something More: Nandroid backup and restore don't touch HBOOT.

Firmware is Froyo,Gingerbread,ICS,Jelly Bean,And there will be different radios associated with each.

So if you change the firmware , would that change the hboot as well.

Excellent and at the same time simply explanation!
I could say that the HBOOT is like the Bios on a computer (or not? jjejejejejeje).

Each day I learn something new! Thanks
