How To Flash A Different HBoot On The Go. I miss the good ol days when we could just flash an hboot on the go via the bootloader itself. Looks like this is the closest were getting for now.
Requirements:
S-Off
Terminal Emulator (Get it free from Google Play)
Commom ADB/Fastboot experience to understand this...
On the device, open Terminal Emulator
Step 1:
Run:
su
Step 2:
Run:
cd sdcard
Step 3:
Run:
dd if=/sdcard/LOCATIONOFHBOOT/HBOOT.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12
Notes:
Replace "LOCATIONOFHBOOT" with the actual location it is stored on. For example, the 3 Hboots I have are stored on /sdcard/System/HBoot/
Replace "HBOOT.img" with the actual name of the hboot file. Example: enghboot.nbo or stock_hboot.img
Final example for my device would be: dd if=/sdcard/System/Hboot/hboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12
KEEP IN MIND, ONCE YOU FLASH AND BOOT INTO THE ENG HBOOT, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BOOT BACK UP UNTIL FLASHING ANOTHER HBOOT VIA FASTBOOT.

Why cant you use a eng hboot to boot android?
Do you have a eng hboot for m7?

You can run
fastboot oem rebootruu
fastboot oem flash hboot hboot.img but that requires a computer, where as this method is as titled, On The Go.
The eng hboot compatible with our device can't load emmc.
I'll link you to it in a sec...

Fastboot commands for Hboot,CID,MID change Im expecting you to already know how to access adb and fastboot on your PC so commands are listed as i use them.
cd/android <--------- access to my adb fastboot
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip Hboot.zip
fastboot oem writecid <---- not really needed stay with CID 11111111
fastboot oem writemid <--- Needed to OTA
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot.
Thanks for the thorough writeup, but this all is not needed....Simpler way is much safer and easier..could add these to your writeup....
Download/flash the appropriate hboot for your device, I used 2.24.408.8
http://rumrunner.us/hboots/
run commands as needed for changing cid/mid
fastboot oem writecid
fastboot oem writemid
I did this one 2 chinese versions without issue. I dont wish to see folks bricking their devices as the original way is a bit over whelming for some...this makes it even more painless and safer...
NO need for messing with engineer hboot

Thanks for the info. I will update OP shortly with newer info.
Updated Op with GPE info
Hello everyone, This is my first post in Desire 816 forum.
It seem like many people restored lollipop backup with WiFi issue. This is happen because you didn't update firmware that come with official OTA. I made firmware mod with removed red text warning hboot and decide to share it here.
S-OFF with SuperCID only
How to:
- Reboot phone to fastboot mode by press vol down + power then select fastboot in hboot menu
- Copy firmware zip to platform-tools folder of Android SDK or your own copy place of fastboot
- Rename it to firmware.zip
- Open terminal side the folder and type
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
- You will see white HTC logo then type
Code:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
- Now type the same command again
Code:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
- Finished! You can reboot by
Code:
fastboot reboot
For S-ON user you can flash official firmware zip if you are using one of CID listed.

You must relock bootloader with correct CID.

Sorry I don't own any Cid HTC_59 device
a huge thanks to you for the explanation I'll be looking around for OTA image for A5_DUG to fix my firmware then
so, I extracted A5_DUG firmware.zip from its OTA. when I try to flash the firmware, this is what I get.
when should I flash it anyway? before or after restoring the TWRP lolipop backup?
also, am I correct to assume that by flashing this, I will lose custom recovery and have to flash TWRP again ?(as firmweare.zip includes the stock recovery.img)
*EDIT* Nevermind. I found out that if you're S-On , the bootloader should be locked in order to flash a zip in RUU, so you'll have to type in this command before flashing:
Fastboot oem lock
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and ofcourse, you'll need to unlock later, and it doesn't accept your old Unlocktoken, so you'll have to get another one from HTCdev
and then flash custom recovery afterwards.

Are you S-OFF? if so, you can change the cid this way.
If you're S-on, there's not much you can do.( I read somewhere that you can edit CID in the firmware files so that your device accepts it but I can't remember where or how it was.)

relock bootloader process is the same as unlock. In fastboot mode type this command
