English Users Read Here (Chinese Version at the bottom!)
As many of you know, S-Off is out, but it requires 1.10.
Thus some of us with Hboot 1.07 seemed rather stuck on S-Offing.
My 32GB GSM flyer is from Taiwan and came with Hboot 1.07 and
has software number 1.38.709.7.
Recently I was searching around, rather within the past few 2 hours I managed to successfully update and S-Off my Flyer and would like to share my findings within a guide that points to other guides so that others who are in the exact same situation may find inner peace haha.
I do thank everyone involved in this whole thing, whether it be people who wrote other guides or the people who worked on S-offing and other forum sites that I condensed this information from. (one being mobile01).
However before i get started, should you follow this guide because you are in the exact same situation, do know that this is at your own Risk
STEP 1
Download This, You will need it.
RUU_Flyer_HTC_WWE_2.00.405.3_R_Radio_20.3501.30.089BU_3809.05.04.10_M_release_194964_signed from
http://www.filefactory.com/file/ccd...9BU_3809.05.04.10_M_release_194964_signed.exe
(or any other place where this may be found).
Now follow this link and create your gold card.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16147471&postcount=77
(Remember when it talks about opening the RUU and getting the Rom.zip, it means while you're running the exe, grab the image and then once you've copied it somewhere you can close it.)
STEP 2
Once you've created your goldcard, simply put your renamed Image file onto the goldcard and then stick this card back into the flyer.Reboot your htc flyer into bootloader mode and let it run the checks, Should everything be smooth (when it asks you to) tap volume up to confirm yes and it'll update. At the end of this you should have now you're newly updated 1.10 Hboot.
Once you're done updating the Hboot, take out the goldcard and either format or rename the zip to avoid installing a new ROM which may not be desirable for most people.
If you got a CID error make sure your numbers entered in the steps within the guide above were all correct.
Now Here's where it gets easier.
I did this all under windows so I wouldn't know how smooth this would be on linux.
STEP 3 (S-Off)
Use this Guide below to now S-Off
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194709
I chose to install CWM once everything worked well.
From here you can do the following steps or just simply pick one of the custom roms that our excellent chefs have cooked up and you'll be on your way to phone calling, BT headsets and permanent root.
STEP 4
Once you've got S-Off you 'll want to root.
Use this guide to get you to perm-rooting your now S-Off Flyer
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193885
STEP 5
Surely you've gone this far because you sort of like your stock rom.
Well Enable BT and Phone calling with this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1185688
The other root related things can be done from dling things from the market and whatnot.
I take no credit for the guides that are linked and whatnot. It's good to see development here and I thank everyone involved with the flyer once again.
This was merely a condensed guide of what I did and followed. Do remember. This is all at your own risk should you choose to follow it.
Could also just wait for a safer way as well.
Thanks. First post btw

怎麼從Hboot 1.07變到有Hboot 1.10 + S-Off 和Root
先說一聲，我是國外的僑生， 國語不是很完美
第二是我都是用Windows操作的
Vol- ＝ 右下音量健
Vol+＝ 右上音量健
這樣會有什麼好處？
可已用一些方便的程式像是Titanium backup 或是Setcpu
但是flyer 更好玩， 可已解開密密功能。
例如說， 連接藍牙耳機， 但更重要是可以解開打電話功能
幾個禮拜前temp（暫時） －Root 有破到但還是需要S-Off。
最近Alpharev 跟 Revolutionary 最近有破解flyer 的S-On 變成S-Off 但是有個問題就是需要Hboot1.10 所已我們大部分的台灣和別的flyer 在hboot 1.07都不行。
但最近有人發現到可以升級到hboot1.10 然後就可以順利的破解。
因為我是實在太感動， 所以就在這裡幫忙大家整理好資料。
我的flyer 剛開始的軟體1.38.709.7 板本， hboot 1.07
警告！（有些人不小心就刷到英文板的ROM！記得總是會有風險）
步驟大概是這樣：
1： 自作以個金卡（讓你的flyer可以升級）
2： 用AlphaRev+Revolutionary 來得到S-Off 和裝CWM就可以開始刷ROM
(剩下的就看你要不要保留原本的rom)
3 ： Root—的到管理權利
4： 解開BT耳機和電話的程式
在這裡我要先說謝謝很多人的努力才有可能破解flyer
這個之前， 這是有風險的，有什麼問題可要自己處理
1：：第一步：：
先下載這個
RUU_Flyer_HTC_WWE_2.00.405.3_R_Radio_20.3501.30.089BU_3809.05.04.10_M_release_194964_signed
從這個網址：
http://www.filefactory.com/file/ccd...9BU_3809.05.04.10_M_release_194964_signed.exe
2:: 第二步：：
要做好金卡 （這個地步不需要把flyer連到電腦）－－感謝kk57的圖片！
a. 假如你有裝HTC 軟體在電腦上, 的軟體請先刪掉 破完可以再裝
然後裝這些driver從：
http://downloads.unrevoked.com/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe
（假如上面的Driver不行（例如說你是win7x64）請重新裝HTCsync但是要關閉（可以 到處理程序關 或者 右下角把它關閉）
b. 去flyer
Settings -> applications->Development
確定USB Debugging 有開
然後
Settings->Power 確定 FastBoot有開
然後
Settings -> Connect to Pc-> Default Connection type 選charge only。
c. 下載完上面， 先用管理的身份執行他 但是只是讓他有視窗）先不要動什麼（都不要按什麼）
他剛跑出來的時候會先創作一些暫時的檔案, 你剛好要得是其中一個叫做ROM.zip。 大概 在 C:\Documents and Settings\XXX\Local Settings\Temp\---- (win XP)
或是
C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Local\（win7)
在這個裡面用搜尋功能去找 然後放到桌面上 （傳完就可以把RUU 的程式關了）（記得有RUU的視窗的時候才會出現ROM.zip
d. 把ROM.zip 名字改稱PG41IMG.zip （不要弄錯1之後是一個I）然後準備好一個 microsd卡來當金卡（至少要差不多要600MB吧）(需要的話請先備份）
PS: 如果你找不到rom.zip 請到以下連結直接抓也是可以(轉至xda-developers論壇 kokyew 大大的上傳).
http://www.multiupload.com/EGLRDOE2D0
e. 先把這個卡放進你的flyer然後到
Setting-> Storage-> Unmount Sd Card 等他unmount完-> Format SD Card
f. 然後去google Market 下載一個程式叫“GoldCard Helper”
g. 下載， 安裝完 打開這個程式然後因該會看到MMC2的一些號碼， 你要的號碼是 “Reverse CID” 的號碼。
去psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard把 你的e-mail和你的CID號碼填好選好Android輸入一些字跟號碼就送出去， 不到幾秒你會收到 一個e-mail
把e-mail中的img 檔案下載放到桌面
h. 去mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/
下載 HxD Hex Editor
i. 把你在flyer的microsd卡拿出來放進SD －Adaptor 裡 接到電腦
j. 用管理身份執行HxD HexEditor
上面選Extra-> Open Disk 把“ReadOnly”拿掉， 然後Physical Disk 之下選你的microsd卡
(絕對不要選到你的硬碟！請確認一下！）
然後選Extra->Open Disk Image 選你從e-mail下載的IMG打開
然後問你要512的時候， 按OK （現在因該有兩個小視窗）
k. 先看你的Goldcard.img的視窗然後按Edit->Select All 然後Edit－Copy
L. 換到你microsd卡的視窗， 選00000000 到 00000170 然後Edit-Paste Write， 做 完這個之後， File->Save
M. 把HxD HexEditor關掉， 把PG41IMG.zip放到你的microsd卡上，
（假如一只不行把PG41IMG放不上去而叫你格式化， 有可能在第J步沒有在Physical Disk選microsd卡）
然後把他放進你的 flyer裡(先不要把蓋子放回去）。把flyer關掉. 關掉完， 按Vol- 的按鍵不要放， t同時按Power 然後你因該會看到三 個Android在跳舞這就是Bootloader模式
n. 進Fastboot然後就開始他自己會自動檢查你的microsd卡, 剛開始如下
http://attach.mobile01.com/attach/201108/mobile01-8514ff4b1e76b21870c3faa22ca5c051.jpg
假如看到
Loading.....[PG41DIAG.zip]
No image!
Loading.....[PG41DIAG..nbh]
No image or wrong image!
以上這兩個這樣顯示是正常的,因為我們MicroSD卡沒這兩個檔
然後等Loading....[PG41IMG.zip]
Flyer 正常讀取此rom,故要等旁邊藍色Bar跑完（像是下面）.
http://attach.mobile01.com/attach/201108/mobile01-6b65eef5a7c1daed1599597bcc037a26.jpg
Loading PG41IMG.zip完後,接下來是Checking PG41IMG.zip, 右手邊市跑黃色Bar, 一樣等他跑完.
（像是下面）.
http://attach.mobile01.com/attach/201108/mobile01-b10454d85498d8eaf904d24356c77c29.jpg
當Checking跑完後, 會出現以下畫面, 此時請按Vol+ 開放刷HBOOT, 右手邊是跑紅色Bar條（下面的圖）.
http://attach.mobile01.com/attach/201108/mobile01-00d48044d4598c35f8b82fef2bf83caa.jpg
請注意,當紅色Bar跑完後, 會自動重開機, 此時你要快點把MicroSD卡移除, 這樣就不會刷到歐版ROM!!
（只要更新一次！！）
(更新完了就把金卡先拿出來避免不小心刷成另外個ROM）
在這裡確定你的Hboot 是否是Hboot1。10
(要像下面的圖（目前還是s-on）
http://attach.mobile01.com/attach/201108/mobile01-5c4a9f4d6991cd7bd1f14ce3f5b18b92.jpg
好了剩下就簡單多了
假如有CIDerror 或是什麼 Fail的問題， 也許是莫個部份沒有弄好
成功的話
到這裡把你的 金卡從新Format（不用了）
（當然蓋子可以放回去）
第三步：： S-on --to－ S-Off
（先把Fastboot 關掉）
（USB3.0有可能有問題，請用USB2.0）
（以下大小寫會有關係）
a. 先去revolutionary.io （這是網址）
b. 按Download for Windows(先不要關視窗)
c. 把flyer弄到android裡
d. 接到電腦
e. 把zip解壓縮執行exe
f. 在一個DOS的視窗裡你會看到一個號碼： HTXXXXX
g. 在revolutionary.io 你按DownloadforWindows時， 因該會有個Beta Key 視窗跑 出來， 選windows， HtcFlyer， Hboot 1。10， 輸入你的HTXXXXX號碼然後按generate key 就會有個號碼跑出來
h. 把這個號碼輸入進你的DOS視窗然後按enter就等他執行完就結束了
然後會問你要不要裝CWM我是有而且為了方便最好是.
雖然我第一次就成功
這個步驟廳說有可能需要試很多次才會成功所以不要擔心太多
最好先備份你目前的ROM（下面有寫怎麼備份）
到這裡你可以到xda刷他們的ROM（個有個的優點）
剩下的是想要用原來用的STOCKROM才需要的地步
到這裡把你的 金卡從新Format
沒有裝到CWM的話請到這邊
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14693680
或是參考Till寫的
http://www.mobile01.com/topicdetail.php?f=566&t=2245343&p=13#29771555
第四步 Permanent-Root（永遠的得到管理權利）
a.)下載這個
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=670828&d=1311991644
(放到你的Microsd卡（不是金卡）)（不需要解壓縮）
b.)進去CWM（到Bootloader到Fastboot選recovery）
c.)先備份你的ROM（Backup&Restore然後選backup）
d.)備份完選Install from sdcard” 選你下載的zip
e.)刷完你就破解完了然後從新開機
假如你的flyer卡住了， 沒關係，按著POWER+Vol- 就會OK
假如你發現你回到android裡，沒有Superuser，請從新操作 Step 4
第五步：： BT+電話
先下載Root Explorer， 然後跑到／System/
你因該會看到一個build.prop
用Root Explorer打開（記得要MOUNT到可以改系統的東西），
看到這些Code的時候， 假如後面的數字不一樣請改到下面的
ro.ril.reject.cs.ss.enabled=0
ro.ril.reject.mo.ussd.enabled=0
ro.phone.function=1
(這是解開電話功能)
ro.bt.profiles = 4270403
service.brcm.bt.ag_supported = 1
(這是解開BT功能)
儲存，從新開機， 因該就會看到phone的程式
要用flyer來打電話是會需要BT耳機
之後可以到market上下載busybox還有很多關於root的
到這裡就結束
假如換了ROM
需要中文的話去market上下載MoreLocale2（就可以看中文）
輸入就找“Touchpal"，market上還有很多輸入的KB

Thanks for summarizing the info spread over several other topics
Thought us users with a 1.07 hboot had been let down but it's not the case =)
This worked a treat on my device
Dear Sir
Thanks for you post. It's great.
I am come from Taiwan. Would you mind put it to Mobile01 ?
And Would you change it by chinese ?
Sure I will post a mandarin version later tonight, I'll translate the other guides while I'm at it for coherency.
phew took 2-3 hours but i've fully translated everything over to mandarin, I've also posted it on 01 and clarified some parts as well.
謝謝大大的支持，把它放到台灣的mobile01上了，雖然在xda上本篇沒有太大的迴響，但是卻真真實實造福了在台灣的FLYER的使用者，代表大家再次說聲"感謝"。
yeah no problem,
haha it's true that on xda not many people are replying vs the same thread on 01 but from the page views from xda, i figure most people are linking in and are simply too shy to say anything. (i do it too haha)
Main Post edited, added cautions, extra checks and images for convenience(in chinese version)
excellent guide. s-off and rooted :thup:
What if my device doesn't show the Update confirmation after the checking has finished? It just jumps straight back to the bootloader menu.

It's probably a problem with your Gold Card, Double Check you've done everything in that section correctly
Many thanks for the guide. I don't need to S-off though the phone functionality would be nice. But steps one and two were perfect for me to change my south east Asian ROM (Indonesia according to HTC) to the latest WWE. Goldcard didn't work but a full formatted SD card did the job.
Thanks for helping feed the need for the latest stock ROM!

HBOOT
I'm still having problem upgrading Hboot from 1.07.0000 to 1.10.0000.
Attached is a screenshot of my fastboot. any ideas?
not sure if i was in the same boat as others here. I have an S-Off Flyer with the 1.07 HBOOT and I wanted to do the Honeycomb update so I needed to update the HBOOT. Instead of doing this procedure I ran an RUU update (I chose a Chinese version) and it updated the HBOOT though it re-locked my device. Next I ran Revolutionary and followed the rest of the HC instructions on Modaco.
I am now running Honeycomb
I've done the Gold Card process before and though it worked I remember it being a bit of a headache. This might be easier for others in my situation.

yes im using the goldcard methoad now and i failed to upgrade the hboot, do you mind telling me where did you get the chinese RUU? or can i just run RUU_Flyer_HTC_WWE_2.00.405.3_R_Radio_20.3501.30.089BU_3809.05.04.10_M_release_194964_signed?
---------- Post added at 09:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:29 PM ----------
Nvm, found the solution by running RUU_Flyer_HTC_WWE_2.00.405.3_R_Radio_20.3501.30.08 9BU_3809.05.04.10_M_release_194964_signed directly, and my phone hboot upgraded to 1.10.0000
Now s-off and gain root. =)
I only used the Chinese RUU because it was handy. The only difference it should make is to flash an RUU compatible with your device and has a usable HBOOT

Format risk... Missing info: remove goldcard after updating...
hello!
Post 1, step 2:
STEP 2
Once you've created your goldcard, simply put your renamed Image file onto the goldcard and then stick this card back into the flyer.Reboot your htc flyer into bootloader mode and let it run the checks, Should everything be smooth (when it asks you to) tap volume up to confirm yes and it'll update. At the end of this you should have now you're newly updated 1.10 Hboot.
once you succesfully updated with the gold card there is a missing point!
REMOVE the goldcard and rename the zip to something else or format it before booting with it in the flyer....
Otherwise.. on next reboot it will go on installing the new ROM and you'll loose all your settings (data is on internal SD thankgod..)
I've just been through this.. please update the guide for others who won't read this late post... I lost all the config... nuuuuuu!
Well thanks for the superb post anyway!
Cheers!

Anyone had success in doing this?
I've created 2 different gold cards using this Gold Card Tool
http://www.vorbeth.co.uk/downloads/
I've downloaded the rom
RUU_Flyer_HTC_WWE_2.00.405.3_R_Radio_20.3501.30.089BU_3809.05.04.10_M_release_194964_signed
Extracted the rom, renamed to PG41IMG.zip and copied onto the gold card.
Booted into fastboot, after copying & checking the zip - i still get a
CID Incorrect - Update Failed!
Am i missing something?
I need to upgrade from 1.48.707.3 so i can S-OFF (as revolutionary doesn't work on 1.48.707.3)
UPDATED:
Looks like the problem was the CID extracted by vorbeth's PC tool - it doesn't grab mmc2 (only 0/1) - and mmc2 on the flyer is the one you need!
So for others trying to upgrade to WWE - use the goldcard helper found in market to grab the right CID - using that successfully allowed me to create a working Gold card - following the steps here.
Then its a matter of booting into hboot/fastboot and it will verify and start flashing the updated rom.
Then run rev for s-off goodness!
Thanks to all who helped and of course the devs that has made s-off possible. Already donated 20 Euro's for their efforts
there is no gold card working for flyer now

I thought someone who described the complete steps managed to do it? Hmm...
Gold card doesn't work ... Root it (instructions at http://revolutionary.io) then install your choice of stock ROMs .. or a custom one ... some will be coming soon...
Kris
hi pals,
as you seen in the at least s-off thread in the developers forum you can get a goldcard !
it works. yesterday i flashed my o2 flyer with the unbranded rom.
all you need to do is make a goldcard, but be sure as you ask for the cid to ask for device mmc2 !!!! this is the sd card you inserted in your device.
then download the pg41img.zip at the s-off thread. and follow their instructions and you´re good to go.
btw thanks a lot at the guys in the developers forum.
Good advice from NerdDoctor2T. Other people telling you to revolutionary first do not understand that sometimes you can't revolutionary with without upgrading the ROM.
This post and this post might help.
It worked for me.
hi cyko,
you did everything right. but you need to boot to hboot, with the goldcard sd inserted and the image of the rom copied to your sd card. then in hboot wait a second and the goldcard is starting the flashing process.
you know how to boot in hboot ?

Yeah, I kept going into the hboot screen and would get that little flash where it was checking for the image file and it didn't seem to take, then on the 3rd try it just started going.... strange... but it all ended up working fine.
Thanks for checking.
I created the goldcard no problem.
hboot starts flashing - but after loading/checking - i get the CID error.
What tool did you use to create your Goldcard - and what type of microSD card did you used (i tried a 1GB & 8GB sandisk - no luck
i did use a 2 gb kingston card. when you get an cid error, check if you asked for the mmc2 device cid. because on mine i checked mmc0 and thats the internal flash, so i did mmc2. and thats the cid for the sd card and than it was functioning.
tool for the goldcard. i dont remember the name, because i took it out of the s-off thread in the developers forum.
btw thanks again dev guys. you are great.
Ok looks like the goldcard tool i used couldn't find the correct CID - (would only find 1 - the second would fail - and compared to the goldcard app from the market - it looks like it was the cid of the internal SD!!)
Just generated a goldcard with the second number using the manual method described here.
And am currently in HBOOT and it's passed the CID check and Flashing..
WOOOT!
I can feel S-OFF coming shortly
htboot =(
so i've done everything:
making the goldcard
extracted the .zip file.
moved it to the goldcard
restartet flyer with fastboot on....and now my realy newbe question...
how do i get to hboot?
Power on and volume down?
tanks for ur help
Hi there,
the next days I receive my HTC Flyer.... how can I be sure which root method I need ? How to check if it got S-OFF ?
I really wanna make phone calls later and use honeycomb >.>
The bootloqder of this test device in this store shows s-on. Can there be something done if s-on ?
This forum has a search function...
I feel gloomy about it when you can't read and search in this forum by yourself
So, use the search function here, read a little bit and you will find the answers. And don't forget to be happy and thankful
Refer. To revolutionary. Or HTC unlock
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
Ah ok so things like GSM Calls are possible either on S-ON or not .... thats great ^-^
Although the amount of information on XDA can be intimidating, you should at least try to use the search function, browse through the Development subforum, and read and educate yourself before making a post like this. If every noob that came on here posted basic questions like this before doing any research, this forum would quickly be swamped with such posts and be completely useless.
I used this guide to get S-Off and root, and its quite easy:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194709
I personally have not tried the HC install. Its fairly complicated, and not without risk. But plenty of folks on here have done it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1248635
My advice, read up and understand as much as you can before starting either process. Then follow the instructions very carefully.
Unsure about Rooting etc... can I make a backup before ? What if Rooting etc. goes wrong ?
Download Tool + Desire = ROOTED ... but this is complicated... I will ask again how exactly is the most secure method to do it ;D

Unfortunately, there is no way to backup the ROM without root. If things go wrong during root, you may be able to recover using the official RUU, following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195688
Desire is a pretty old phone. HTC has been adding more and more security against rooting and S-Off for the past year, and its probably only going to get worse (or at least stay the same). So if your intent moving forward is learning how to root current and future HTC devices, you might as well get used to the increased complexity.
The S-Off and rooting guides I linked to is actually quite easy. I think I accomplished it all in about 15 minutes, including downloading the needed files. Really, the S-Off process is just to get your Flyer hooked up properly to your PC, run the Revolutionary app to get S-Off, and that's really it. Its just broken down in very simple steps, to make it very clear. If you look at the step, some of them are not even really steps. Like the first step is "read the documentation", which you should already be reading up as much as you can before you start, anyway.
Once you have S-Off, getting root is just a matter of putting a file on the Flyer, and flashing it. Again, its just broken down into so many steps, to make it really simple and clear.
Installing HC is another matter. I haven't ventured to try it myself, but it looks significantly more complicated and risky than rooting. Its a lot of REAL steps, and the guide itself says its recommend only for experts. If you aren't confident about performing the HC installation, I'd stay away from it until the official update is released.
same like with my desire =) ... but after root, just download clockworkmod and install ROM ?
Ok now I can be precise ;D
FLYER PVT SHIP S-ON RL

Now you can help me I hope ^^
someone ? I dont want to brick it when accessing Root (AND FINALLY) GSM Calls Funtion
Bump again .... I really dont wanna make a mistake

You install clockworkmod after you get S-Off with Revolutionary, and before you root. You need clockworkmod recovery to flash the root file.
After root, I would use clockworkmod to backup the stock ROM. But then yes, just flash your desired ROM from recovery after that.
Seriously, there are not a lot of steps or ways to mess them up. Just follow the instructions carefully. Don't mess with the phone (power off or unplug) while its flashing, and make sure you have plenty of battery before for each step (>50% should be plenty).
Yeah but your guides are for HBOOT 1.10 ;D ... I got 1.7 as I said ... thats why I am unsure :/ ....
USB Debug + Fastboot off .... and then ? Revolutionary -> ClockWork -> Backup -> Honeycomb Leak install -> GSM Call Activation ?
Like this ?
FIRST OF ALL, BE WARNED, YOUR WARRANTY MAY BE VOIDED IF YOU S-OFF YOUR FLYER
STEP 1
First, you have to make sure that your hboot version is compatible with the revolutionary tool. (Which yours are not, that adds a few more steps)
STEP 2
Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1198650 and follow the instructions.
STEP 3
After successfully patching your hboot to the ROM's version on that thread, you are ready to go! Go http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194709 and follow the instructions. PS: Remember to type Y and enter when it asks you wether you want to download and flash clockworkmod recovery. (S-OFF and root instructions are in the thread, just follow them, it's fairly simple)
STEP 4
Your Flyer is now S-OFFed and rooted, go to recovery (navigate from bootloader) and do a backup as you wish.
STEP 5
Download any ROM from this thread and flash it with recovery (navigate from bootloader -> install zip from sd card (Make sure you copied the rom to your SD card)-> Warning: This cannot be undone blah blah blah. YES)
STEP 6
Enjoy and hit the Thanks button if I helped.
#2 AFAIK - You need a Flyer that is HBOOT: 1.10.000

Step 2 in this one in your link ;D ... I got 1.7
There are no v1.7 hboot for Flyer, check again. Yours should be v1.07 and v1.07 is not supported right now.
so I MUST keep Gingerbread and there is NO CHANCE for me to get Honeycomb until release ?
Nope. Just follow the instructions in the second step of my instructions to upgrade your hboot to s-off.

I could do that... But the only thing is that I am unsure about the security.... I am afraid of bricking my Desire ... Then nobody can repair it :/ ....
Isn't there an easier method of making goldcard etc ?

i believe getting s-off is your only option. can't down grade bootloader with security on.. that i know of. try the wire trick its easy.

I unlocked my device (I bought 2 more evo's so have 3 now) and one of them has hboot 1.53.0007 and is s-off I have tried to install more than one rom and none of them get past the HTC screen before rebooting except Kingcobra it reboots after the funky animation screen. I cant get fastboot to flash a new kernel or hboot. It always says remote not allowed. And I have tried using 4ext and clockwork both touch and non touch versions. I don't know what to do from here.
As you are s-off I would suggest you downgrade your hboot using method E (step 1 to step 4 only)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1743466
Your hboot is the problem. It causes problems with lots of roms. Yoda's ICS and Viper3D are two roms that i'm sure work fine with your hboot. But it will be a lot easier if you tried the method above to downgrade

Thanks for the reply. I have tried the PG86IMG.zip file more than once and also checked the MD5 before and after moving it to the SD card it checks fine but when it tries to install it it says
Model ID incorrect!
Update Fail!
Press <POWER> to reboot
no matter how many times I try to install it. So I will give the ROMs a try that you mentioned. Out of curiosity I thought that when I got juopunutupbear sauced enough lol it would also give me a new Hboot at the same time it asked me if I wanted it installed I picked yes. The first phone I unlocked took three tries (it's still my current one I don't want to sell that one, sentimental reasons for making the paper weight that was given to me work again) but this one took about 10+ tries to get it to work. I think that after this when I pick up any EVOs I will check the Hboot first.
Oh and it also has an extra entry under RADIO it's OpenDSP-v02.6.0.226.00.0202 The other ones don't have that and also have different Hboots (the ones that worked the first go pretty much) and I looked it up and apparently its also an x515a which from what I gather means it has an extra frequency 850 1900(?),and 2100 (i may have gotten exact values wrong, can't rem off the top of my head. Anyway I will get back to you once I have tried the ROMs.
I have three EVO 3Ds (trying to make a buck buying locked phones from pawn shops and then unlocking them and reselling for a profit, once I get this one going again and sold I can work on the next and so on. Then I can also (each time I get one done) give a percentage of the profits (20% or so split up I think is OK) to places like this and to the devs that put together all the necessary bits to achieve a rooted any carrier phones and ROMs. I wholeheartedly support this type of philosophy and am going through the process of learning to become a dev too and can't wait till I too can participate just as much as the rest but that's enough rambling sorry for going on there got off topic.

i tried them both and they didn't work either. Am going to give downgrade a go. And also if I change the cidnum in the info file inside the zip it will work for Wrong ID errors? I am surprised to hear that (read it somewhere else earlier) I thought that file was like a readme.txt file. I am edgy about messing about with the RADIO as I hear that if you get that wrong you may not be able to get back into Hboot and if that happens it has to go to the factory to get fixed. Please advise on that if you know. Thanks

OMG! I got it working YAY!!! Finally, man you saved me from having to do the ROM roulette testing each one and switching up the various tweaks each time, wiping, etc... Thank you so much. I got Yoda ICS to run with the Stock HTC kernel. It's a bit twitchy but if it locks up the soft keys or taping stops working I just hit power to turn off the screen and then turn it on with power again and then it goes back to accepting input again. I am going to make a back up of the device and then see what is different from the other one I have and if they are the same (MD5s for a start then if they are different and when I take a look at unyaffs I will delve further)
Anyway I did notice that I wasn't getting the boot to flash properly at least according to the logs and when I looked at the version of the device it was Android 2.3.7 so maybe that had something to do with it. Anywho thanks again. And when I get to it I think I will write a nubs guide/checklist that has either links or whatever it needs for all the quirks I have come up against while doing this phone and the other one. Obviously it will have to be specific to the EVO and for the specs that mine have. Plus I know in the future to stay away from Hboot 1.53.0007 for dang sure. You made my day I hope you have just as good of one.
Glad to see you've got it working again. Theres a text file inside pg86img thats checks your cid. You should take a look here it will clear up some of your questions

GSM HBOOT 1.58.0007 S-ON to S-OFF? unable to downgrade to hboot 1.49.0007
Hi, i have also similiar problem, so I would like to ask anyone for help... I unlocked my EVO3D by HTCdev HBOOT is 1.53.0007 and I want to downgrade to hboot 1.49.0007/8 for revolutionary because otherwise I cant flash CM9/10 roms succsessfully....I have read a lots of threads but only thing what was succesfull is the hboot unlock...but Im not S-OFF...
So for the instance, the phone:
Is HTC EVO3D GSM
CID is HTC__001
was on stock ICS 4.0.3 OTA rom
HBOOT 1.53.0007 S-ON
UNLOCKED S-ON by htcdev method
followed this thread to root http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=28106291 and flash ROM Method D and B, but i didnt do the wire trick way - my phone is some kind of different so I think wire trick is not possible, so I skipped that (and controlbear.exe and the download links are no longer working on unlimited.io, only way i get the files was from htcevohacks.com but controlbear.exe shows me some error that I dont remember for now, i will try and post it).
Then it's working on ICS NonSense® 4.0
to downgrade HBOOT to 1.49.0007 and get revolutionary S-OFF so i followed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1471246
The first method copying mmcblk0p31.img to sdcard and here im stuck....I dont understand why, but the command "adb shell dd....." copies mmcblk0p31 file of 16kB size and total empty content, so I cant change any version to 1.20.720.1 and cant downgrade....
So how to solve this problem? Is it cause that first I need to get hboot 1.53 S-OFF? If so, how?
Im sorry but currently the only method to downgrade your hboot is AFTER you get s-off with wire trick. What kind of problem are you facing with the wire trick? It sometimes takes more than a couple of attempts to do it right

The first problem is that on all tutorials and vids the HTC EVO3D back look like this
Code:
h ttp:// htcevohacks.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/howto-downgrade-soff-htcevo3d-9-500x344.jpg
But my phone look like this - the SIMcard slot is just on the SD slot
Code:
ht tp:// syenceiction.7u.cz/IMG_20121001_165929.jpg
(sry for the code but im not allowed to post outside links yet...)
So i dont know if there is a way how to make the wire trick, because the SIMslot seems to be blocking the contact to SDcard...
And the second problem, this is what happens when I plug the phone to USB and run controlbear.exe:
======== ControlBear 0.6 beta for JuopunutBear S-OFF ==========
Starting up......
Connecting to device...
Searching device.....
Found device.....
Backing up......
Transferring backups....
Secondary backup FAILED!!

And here it ends and I can't do anything...USB Debugging enabled...
bro if you read through this thread the OP tells you that you have to ignore that failed warning and continue.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1743466
and yes the method is a bit different for gsm phones.
http://unlimited.io/jb_shooteru.htm
you need to tap on the sim card metal slot instead of the sdcard one(in case of cdma)
...thanks... this needed to know. It's the first time im flashing evo3d, I sit whole day reading threads, tutorials and watching vids, so this went already out of me so I was surprised by the differences.
But in case of the controlbear.exe, I read whole post but I don't see anything about this error. How can I ignore it if the program stops with message "Press enter to exit" ?? I press enter, the window with program will close, so I run program as admin again and the same error is repeating...maybe its because actually the phone is on 20% battery so Im charging it now then i will try it with at least 75%...but...
Are you sure you are rooted? cause you need to be for this to work
If using windows make sure to run the program as admin.
unlimited.io is working for me
heres the file you need
Thans, I already find and downloaded, I have all the time the "GB" version.
Yes I think I rly am rooted...for root I followed the steps in the method B by friend.evil http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1743466 and installed exactly the superuser.zip file in step B9. Also I installed titanium Backup and other apps requiring root acces all working...
But strange was when I tried in adb.exe command "adb shell" then "#su" on th phone nothing happens - nothing like "super user permission granted" (I have it in other language than english so i dont know the form of the exact msg in eng").
//So now it looks like i made a big stupidity, I run the !GB" version of controlbear, everything was now working, phone restarted but because I realized that Im on ICS not GB ROM i Closed the controlbear when waiting for device...and the phone is now stuck on JuounutBear Screen.........
//So i can get to Hboot so it shouldnt be bricked, I will try to solve this reflashing boot.img via fastboot.

Hello friends,
One of my friends has got an HTC Amaze 4G from the US. The phone is already factory sim unlocked. He's given this phone to me because he wanted it to read and write Arabic letters and RTL in general.
I got this phone, what I've already done till I had the problem was, unlocking bootloader -> installing EXT4 -> got a patch from Hasoon2000 (Link to the original thread) -> EXT4 Recovery for wiping cache, dalvik and fixing permissions -> Flashed the Arabic Patch zip -> Wooops! the phone is stuck at the HTC screen.
I've searched the forums for an RUU to get the phone back and fix the soft brick. All what I found were RUUs for different carriers from CA and US (RUU collections thread)
Later on, I relocked the bootloader, downloaded this RUU
PH85IMG_Ruby_TMOUS_1.43.531.3_Radio_1.08.550L.19DC _30.66.550L.08D_release_228638_signed.zip
Put it on an Ext SD card, went to fastboot bootloader, it started detecting the ZIP and finished showing this error "Incorrect Phone ID"
Then I downloaded this one (Asian RUU) too after some searching.
PH85IMG_Ruby_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.60.707.3_R_Radio_1.13.550L.13DC_30.69b.550L.101_release_253820_signed.zip
The fastboot detected it but ended up with going back to bootloader main menu without any prompts or errors.
Finally, I am clueless and came here to ask you for your help and suggestions to overcome this problem.
Notes:
-The phone is Factory Sim Unlocked and does not have any names of any carries burnt into it (Unbranded Phone).
-After finishing the process of unlocking bootloader, I saw the list of the languages selectable were English (Singapore), English (Pakistan), and other Asian languages and no US and EU languages were present (That's why I was trying to install the RUU of Asia)
-The phone is on Stock GB 2.3.4, stock kernel, and EXT4 Recovery.
Thanks all
Have you tried restoring a backup. Can you boot into the bootloader and recovery?. If so you just need to figure out why this device is unbranded. I never seen an amaze unbranded unless the digitizer was replaced at some point. Was this phone ics or gingerbread before it was tampered with?
Sent from my VLE_U using xda app-developers app
if by unbranded you mean the phone just has HTC and no other carrier lable on it then its most likely the Canadian version from Wind Mobile or Telus or Mobilicity. and as far as you downloading the RUUs have you renamed them to PH85IMG.zip before trying to flash them in bootloader? another easy way to find out what stock ruu you need is to check your HBOOT version on the boot loader so you can see what stock RUU's are compatible with it

Unfortunately, I have not taken any backup, as I assumed at first that the process is quite simpler (which is already is). I already ran at much harder work than this one with ios, symbian, bada, and android.
Yes, I can boot into the bootloader and recovery.
I neither know the reason for unbranding the device.
It was Stock Gingerbread 2.3.4
Thank you for your appreciated time and help.

I'd wait for a 2nd opinion to be sure, but the HBOOT looks like mine did on Gingerbread which is a US T-Mobile brand.
I'd also wait to get a working RUU on it before doing S-Off and super cid. But, once you do both, you'll be able to flash any carrier's RUU.

I will try flashing other RUUs till the moment I get a second opinion.
Thank you Wolf.
Just figured out why the Asian RUU did not get flashed in the bootloader, as the package contains 4 bad files (CRC errors); you can see the 4 files in the attached screenshot.
One guy also had those bad crc errors before, Thread.
Therefore, the only solution to my problem is to s-off and supercid to get another RUU from other carriers to work.
The question is, is there anyway to s-off the phone from the bootloader?
Because the JuopunutBear method requires the phone to be on (operating normally), USB Debugging on, and fast boot off from power options.
Hope someone helps me.
Thanks all
EDIT: Just finished downloading the ruu from another mirror, Winrar does not show any errors!
will transfer it to SD, and retry.
wish me luck guys.
UPDATE: The phone is back to life again! Time to backup!
wait you were on GB i would have updated to ICS before trying to flash any custom roms, most roms are designed for android 4.0+ let me see if i can find u a stock GB RUU
---------- Post added at 09:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 AM ----------
ohh okay didnt see you had it up and running, this time do an official update to ICS before trying to flash anymore roms, and always remember to do a NANdroid backup before flashing any and all roms, once you update to ICS you should S-OFF your phone and superCID it so this way next time you can restore to stock with any RUU from any carrier, good luck and happy flashing and dont forget to hit that thanks button for ppl that offer help/advice ^^
plz share the link for the Custom ROM

Hey, I am trying to root my HTC evo 3d phone with hboot 1.58. I followed all 12 steps on htcdev.com, except on the final step I punch in: fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin and enter, then noting happens. The phone is supposed to reboot with the unlock option..but nothing happens
Also, the phone is Sprint CDMA if that makes any difference, so no sim card
....................................................................................................................................................................
THREAD SUMMARY
K finally got th phone rooted so here is what you have to do. The following applied to my ***locked*** S-ON Sprint HTC Evo3d with hboot 1.58 but should work with any other version higher than hboot 1.40.
The purpose is to get S-OFF(ROOT the phone) and also continue to use your factory HbOOT 1.58 and main version in the end.
1. Brick the phone carefully following steps outlined in unknownforce's [TOOL] Ultimate Recovery Tool 3.1 (Unbrick, Downgrade, VM Radio Fix/Reset). Scroll down to the "Downgrade/Unbrick" section and begin the bricking process with the PG86IMG.zip he mentions in "things you'll need".(place the zip on SD card in the main directory and name it PG86IMG)
2. Once phone is bricked(indicated by SOLID and very dimly lit charge light with the AC charger connected. Also the phone will not turn on or boot), download latest version of URT 3.1(first link in [TOOL] thread), continue to the second step 2 which involves booting up with Linux live boot CD on your PC, OR you can use URTLiveCD 1.0 and you will not need Linux
I did it the hard way an used latest version of URT with Ubuntu v12.04 LiveCD. I would recommend URTLiveCD 1.0 as you will boot straight to the tool and will not need the Ubuntu terminal.
3. After successfully completing downgrade with URT 3.1 downgrade, boot up to your new HBOOT 1.40 bootloader screen and enter fastboot USB mode. CHECK THAT THE MAIN VERSION HAS BEEN LOWERED ALONG WITH THE HBOOT.
Log back into windows
3.(A) If you haven't done this yet, get a fastboot PC command directory to retrieve all phone identification info from the bootloader. I used ROOTEVO3DNEW to check my phone's identity info at this point(though there are many programs that do the same thing). Create a new folder in C:\ and name it rootevo3dnew. Unzip all rootevo3dnew.zip contents into that folder.
Now open the command prompt with the phone connected to PC in fastboot USB. Type cd \rootevo3dnew and enter. Now type the following: "fastboot getvar all" (without quotations) and enter. A list should appear. Check that you have: (bootloader) version-main: 0.01.651.1. If this number is still 2.95.XXX.XXX or something close to it, then YOU MUST BRICK THE PHONE AGAIN. See posts starting at #35 of this thread for a more detailed guide through the second brick. It may be very tricky but very much the same process!!!!!
4. After successfully lowering HBoot to 1.40 and the main-version to 0.01.651.1 you can run the 1.13 RUU.exe found HERE: http://d-h.st/h1p . Connect the phone to fastboot USB and RUN the .exe....after the 1.13 .exe successfully runs, your main version should now be 1.13.651.7...again, checking using your rootevo3dnew tool from 3.(A) above....
5. REVOLUTIONARY S-OFF. Very simple, download for windows(or Linux) and fill in your info and retrieve you BETA key. Run REVOLUTIONARY application (which will run in the command prompt) and after successfully completely revolutionary S-off, YOU ARE ROOTED...continue to step 6
6. RESTORE your main version to 2.95(from 1.13) by running the 2.89 zip (HERE . Place this .zip in your main directory(RENAME IT PG86IMG) on the SD card and let it unzip and install it from the bootloader.
After that, you are pretty much finished!! boot up to android(main version 2.89) and let system updates detect and bring you back to 2.95.xxx.xxx..
....
Download and Install a custom recovery. Rename that .zip PG86IMG and install from bootloader as you did with the 2.89 zip. Now you have a custom recovery where you can backup and restore, install ROMS or other software without having to rename it PG86IMG every time, wipe partitions and lots of other stuff...
Now, download this and place it on your SD main directory. Then, using your new recovery(by selecting "recovery" in bootloader menu), select "install from sdcard" and "choose zip from sdcard", select the SuperSU zip and let it install. Reboot, get to homepage, and install SuperSU from the play store. You now hae an administrative super APP that will let you choose which apps are given root access.
Custom ROMS can be installed the same way from the custom recovery. I am currently using Negalite BluRom and loving it
...
THE 6 STEPS OUTLINED HERE PRETTY MUCH COVER EVERYTHING FROM THIS THREAD
HUGE THANKS TO USERS MPGRIMM2 AND BRIAN706 FOR NEARLY 3 DAYS OF HARD WORK !!

Oh ok, what the hell..No, I just got the phone on ebay for $30, currently locked and I am trying to root it. Some Brittney girl owned according to phone identity info left on the phone
Do I need to downgrade the hboot from 1.58 to 1.4? Sorry I'm really new to smartphones, any help is really appreciated
Just in case it was missed, the phone doesn't reboot upon flashing the unlock token. A prompt should appear on the device and you have to confirm the bootloader unlock.
He asked about the motherboard, because there is an issue if the motherboard has been swapped; sometimes the bootloader will not unlock. I think it's due to mismatched firmware.
Usually running the RUU will solve the issue.

The only problem is, if the phone had taken the latest Ota update and you are on main version 2.95 instead of 2.89, the RUU will not run because it won't let you downgrade.
You can also check your main version by running a fastboot getvar all.
Is there any chance your device is already s-off from a previous owner? It will say s-on or s-off on the bootloader screen.
If you're lucky enough to already have s-off, you can skip the bootloader unlock altogether.

THANKS
main version 2.95.651.5. If I factory reset the phone and discard updates, will the main version reset to 2.89 making the RUU possible?
EDIT: factory reset and no updates did not bring main version down to 2.89

Factory reset won't affect your main version
As DK mentioned, a factory reset only resets your current build. It would only take you back to the point of the last OTA update.
Unfortunately, you can't lower the mainversion without the bootloader unlocked, so it's a catch 22 there.
As a long shot, you might look into the new towelroot, thought I really don't think it will work for this phone because HTC locks down the /system partition. It would at least be worth looking in to.
As far as the hboot downgrade method (I assume you mean THIS) it was intended to downgrade from 1.50 Gingerbread to 1.40 Gingerbread. I have no idea if it will work to downgrade from 1.58 ICS?? You might want to ask around a little about that.
Okay... I just saw your posts in the other thread, have you actually received the unlock token from HTC?
IE, you received a file via email named Unlock_Code.bin that you placed in your fastboot directory and then typed the command: fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin ??
Also, when you say nothing happens after running the command, something must happen whether it's the intended results or not. Can you tell us what the command prompt returns after running the command? Maybe just copy/paste it here.
There will either be an error or a confirmation after running the command.
Comes up as successful on the command prompt. But the phone does not reboot or direct to the unlock screen. I just remains on the fastboot USB screen and does nothing.
C:\rootevo3dnew>fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
sending 'unlocktoken' (0 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.153s]
writing 'unlocktoken'...
(bootloader) unlock token check successfully
OKAY [ 0.010s]
finished. total time: 0.163s
Thanks for that... That's a bummer. Looks to me like you have the motherboard swap issue. It really sucks that you can't RUU.
It looks like someone answered the question in the other thread though about the hboot downgrade method.
So I got the HBOOT downgrade(0.8.2) boot for a disk but it says the phone needs to be bricked before the downgrade..
That's where I'm at now basically, I'm going to do a little more reading on bricking...
Also would be good to have confirmed that this downgrade will work starting with hboot 1.58, so I don't mess anything up
mpgrimm2 may have found found his way over here from from the [Guide] thread
Also I hope I am downloading the correct RUU's. I had to fish them from various searches because the link supplied in Unknownforce's thread is invalid:
2.17 RUU:

Fyi, I think Unknownforce indicated in one of his first 3 posts that u can brick with the last 2.95 PG86IMG.zip file he linked and then downgrade to 1.13 for s-off. Have to go check...
Keep in mind that you may want to considering posting any issues with the URT/Downgrade tool in Unknownforce's thread if you want any chance of assistance from him.
Bad link in his op but this post has it...
Unknownforce said:
Well, with the 2.95 OTA, they included the HBOOT in the firmware, so it's now much faster of a load time for PG86IMG when doing the brick.
I pulled the new PG86IMG.zip from the OTA update, and it's only 19MB, which takes only 15-20 seconds to fully load and be ready to press volume up to update... this will significantly cut down on the time it takes to downgrade, as you can re-try over and over very quickly now.
Here's the PG86IMG file -> http://d-h.st/3p8

And just as a reference for you later I will quote myself from Ramjet73's 2.95 ota update thread
mpgrimm2 said:
ramjet73 and others. I see we still don't have any source for the 2.95.651.6 RUU's. Since I just went ahead and reset my 2 Evo3d's back to stock/S-off as a backup here are the files I had to step through if you want to add or host them directly:
- PG86IMG 2.89.651.2.zip - 449.18 MB
Full RUU.zip for use in bootloader (rename to PG86IMG.zip & place on /sdcard)
- OTA_Shooter_ICS_35_S_Sprint_WWE_2.95.651.5-2.89.651.2_release_307948lagg6bmccb9c63ip.zip - 51.11 MB
2.89.651.2 update to 2.95.651.5 zip for use in bootloader (rename PG86IMG.zip & place on /sdcard ) or stock recovery (place in /sdcard/download )
This is the last official update that just downloaded to my phone after the other Ruu's/updates that were posted previously
- OTA_Shooter_ICS_35_S_Sprint_WWE_2.95.651.6-2.95.651.5_release_315505rm3j000awvlstw9z.zip - 10.59 MB
2.95.651.5 update to 2.95.651.6 zip for use in bootloader (rename PG86IMG.zip & place on /sdcard ) or stock recovery (place in /sdcard/download )
Wish someone with HTC/Sprint access would post up the latest full RUU. It was a bit of a pain stepping through the updates, but definitely easier being s-Off. Seems that if someone is S-On with the 2.95.651.6 update and can't get past step 13 of the HTC Unlock or needs to RUU back, their only option is Unknownforce's Hboot Downgrade Ultimate Toolkit and "Brick it Twice" to get back to an earlier version for Revolutionary S-Off and then go through the updates from 2.89 on up.
Hope this helps others.
EDIT:
I may be too tired at the moment to figure this out, but for some darn reason both the official OTA Updates would not flash from the bootloader on a stock 2.89.651.2 phone with S-Off (both phones actually). Didn't matter if it was renamed PG86IMG.zip or left as officially downloaded to sdcard/download and booting into the stock recovery. The MD5 of my 651.5 update file matches Ramjet73's as well. But If I connect to wifi, do a system update, let it download (how I got the files) and reboot automatically, it works fine and updates without issue.

Forgive me for being such a noob with this stuff.
I'm reading about hboot 1.58 needing to be bricked twice to be able to run the 1.13 RUU.
So to start, do I place the 18.7mb PG86IMG .zip (from the second quote in your last post) in the "download" folder of the sd card?
The stock

is there, so do I remove that one and replace it?
I don't think so but just to be sure, I drop the 18.7 PG86IMG zip folder in downloads and begin the brick process, then run the hboot 0.8.2 to downgrade?
*EDIT* ok, place in the MAIN directory. It's working and is unloading the .zip in bootloader
I need a new data sync cable, mine has started intermittently losing connection off and on...going to wait until I have a new one before I go any further.
Also, the latest version of ubuntu that Linux offers did not work. I found an earlier version(12.04) and the boot disk works so I am good to go on that
What is Hboot 0.8.2 ? Are you using Unknownforce's URT 3.1 Tool and following the "Downgrade/Unbrick" section?
This one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1563342
Yep, that is an outdated/earlier version. You need to use the Ultimate Recovery Tool from Unknownforce's thread as I linked earlier (URT v3.1) and use the LiveCd link.

Well I just did a dry run with the Linux boot disk and terminal. Extracted downgrade.zip to HOME folder, ran the commands. I'm getting the correct code returns in the terminal. I got up to the:
Code:
Step 1... Plug in Device while holding down Volume Down key...
Waiting for device...
Just a matter of getting a new data sync cable now and I can do this...
Again thanks for your help, I'm pretty new to this process I've never altered a devices firmware manually before so it's an awesome experience as well..
Will report back in a couple days, hopefully with a newly rooted phone
--------
Also, do you have a direct link to the correct 1.13 RUU EXE to run after the downgrade?
