Re: Root 3D with new bootloader 1.5?
 

the closet comparison i can think of for hboot is that its like the Bios

Re: Root 3D with new bootloader 1.5?
 

So its actually inside the phone itself?
like holding f9 when you turn on a computer

Re: Root 3D with new bootloader 1.5?
 

yep, phone being off hold power + volume down the get to hboot

Re: Root 3D with new bootloader 1.5?
 

like Ive said befor Im comming from a whole different world cause I still use windows mobile right now,
but with my tp2 it has bootloader, is that ecencially the same thing?


And on a different note, hboot is different then the recovery correct?
Ive rooted and flashed my brothers samsungs befor but not htc, so the whole bootloader thing for an android is throwing me for a spin lol

Re: Root 3D with new bootloader 1.5?
 

the tp2 bootloader is essentially the same

yes recovery is something different
think of recovery as like windows rescue cd kinda

Re: Root 3D with new bootloader 1.5?
 

I know what the recovery is I was just making sure that on the htcs it wasnt just being called something different, I learned all about it dealing with my brothers crappy samsung intercept lol.
(I accidently soft bricked and boot looped it for a few days cause the rom I flashed wasnt compatable with the recovery I had pushed into it)

As far as the tp2, when I unlocked it the first time and flashed my first rom, idk how it happened but it locked itself befor flashing the rom and it softbricked aswell. I had to rerun the unlock and then the sprint official 6.5 update and it fixed it.

But when it locked itself, the phone ececially didnt have a rom to run off of but would still load the bootloader

Does that mean that a phone that had absolutly nothing saved in the phone (as far as an operating system goes) could still have a hboot?

Re: Root 3D with new bootloader 1.5?
 

system and data partitions can be blank and hboot will still be present

like a pc you can have no OS and bios wil still boot up

Re: Root 3D with new bootloader 1.5?
 

I see, so theres no way to pull the codes out from the hbood since its not a rom related file or anything like that

Re: Root 3D with new bootloader 1.5?
 

you can pull the code thats how we got root last time... they broke the previous encryption on the older hboots but the HTC put out a new hboot with new encryption

like i said earlier when they brake the encryption with brute force or whatever they can build a keygen off the hboot

Re: Root 3D with new bootloader 1.5?
 

If I order my evo 3d, what is the liklyhood of it arriving with 1.5 already?
Because of my sero I cant get phones instore.
I have to buy them through the sprint site
