I have looked thru the noob guide and the General forum and no luck. I need to send my Bolt in for replacement they sent the new one already but need to send the old one back. Can someone point me the way to the thread please. It was rooted with the 3 step method
thanks alot
As long as you didn't use Revolutionary to root or install the hard patched hboot from Shadowmite's thread (you will know if you did) the directions for rooted users in this thread will get you back

You can't switch back to stock if you used Revolutionary. Not yet until they develop a way to do it.

That is not referring to the MR1 build. It says 1.0xxxx. MR1 is 1.13.605.7. That is the pre-release build that was used for downgrading in the original root process. The problem was that build had an old hboot that wouldn't interrupt the flash before the security warning happens. Which was a serious issue when we only had 2 RUUs newer than that to recover with. Anything from the release firmware (1.12.605.6) and up should be perfectly fine.

I know you can get back to s-on from Revolutionary. I was just saying as long as he didn't use Revolutionary the simple method in the thread I linked would work just fine.
Edit: I just realized you linked to the same instructions I did and you can NOT get back to s-on with that method if you used revolutionary. Revolutionary installs a hard patched hboot that prevents it from being overwritten by any hboot without issueing a specific fastboot oem command.

Ok, sorry if this info is readily out there but after reading and reading I am just not sure what to do so I am going to ask what I hope is not a dumb question. I have tried to update my firmware using captain_throwback's instructions to flash at the bootloader with a file on the root of the SD card. It was named correctly and never gives me a successful indication. I do not have any issues with the phone but I am just trying to keep it updated as they come out without screwing my HBoot. Is there something that I have missed or am not seeing based on the info below?
I really appreciate any help, thanks!

You have to be S-OFF to flash through the bootloader. I highly suggest you run lazypanda to get S-OFF

Make sure to read through it 10 times and triple check that you have all of the necessary items before you begin. It would also be a good idea to have a USB drive with Ubuntu on it just in case.

As the others have said, post #2 has everything you need. I ran the LazyPanda S-off tool last Friday and it worked perfectly. I was pretty nervous when I did it, but as long as you follow the directions you will be fine.
Thanks everyone!!!!
It worked just as advertised, and for the record I read the instructions 14 times (I can be a little ADD sometimes)

Running lazy panda was probably the scariest thing I ever did to my phone, my heart was racing as I went to hit the enter button. Thankfully it worked flawlessly.

I am right there with you, while it was going through feeding panda and said "cant find device" I about crapped myself.
Same here, bricked, but got it back with Ubuntu. Anyone still on the first hboot don't realize what they got and s-off otherwise your wasting your phones potential. There is no excuse for having hboot 1.12 and being s-on anymore.

Y don't u just do the lazypanda s-off now since you are stock. U don't need fresh rom to do it. The new base is installed when u install a new rom on the new base. Just flash radios separately which u can do once s-off or just being on 1.12 I believe.

Yeah but the instructions state to not do it with 1.22 (what i'm currently on) and only to do it with 1.13. Or am i mistaken?

Why would you downgrade hboot and then run ruu to install the latest hboot? If you downgraded to 1.12 you should have no problem running lazy panda. Am I missing something?
On unlimited's site it says the rom requirements to run lazy panda is 1.13 RUU. I was confused on that as well but it hasn't been successful. I'm currently 1.12 hboot with 1.22 software version. So at this point just run the lazy panda?
Someone in mac's development thread stated they were able to run lazy panda on 1.12. You should ask about it in that thread and see if anyone can help
i ran it out of the box no RUU just ran it
Was that you that mentioned it then? I was having a hard time remembering who mentioned it lol
WHOO HOO! I'm S-Off!!! Ok am I finally ready for customer roms etc and I guess i need to flash radios of course.
edit: Thanks guys!
Let me know what customer roms u install. Those sound interesting.

OK, after getting S-OFF through DirtyRacun for Hboot 2.09 (JB OTA) what is the easiest procedure for gaining root WITHOUT needing to flash a new ROM. I am perfectly fine staying stock otherwise.
At the moment I am S-ON, non rooted. I figure if I am going to root I may as well get S-OFF also. As I read it I need to follow the DirtyRacun S-OFF instructions first then gain root.
Sooo, since I am quite new to rooting/flashing/etc..., could someone be kind enough to let me know how to *just* gain root after I S-OFF?
Thanks!

No problem. Good luck.
Definitely read the link above thoroughly! I simply wanted to say that all you have to do is flash a Superuser zip via a custom recovery and you'll have root on your stock rom. Dirty Racun is very simple and quick to use! I have achieved s-off on 2 different Evo's now via Dirty Racun! If you do run in to any issues just hit them up on their IRC channel and they will help you out!

You might also check out my thread here. This shows the process of updating your phone if you are s-off with the OTA update sent out provided you remain stock. If you remove bloatware or change system files you might run into errors when trying to install the OTA like here.

To root your phone you have to use HTC Dev to unlock your bootloader, then install a custom recovery, like TWRP. To gain S-off on the latest OTA update (Hboot 2.09/baseband ending in 1210) you can use Moonshine. It's Windows friendly. You have to be rooted first to use it
Here is the link to Moonshine:

Pretty sure htcdev is the only route unless facepalm bypasses it . I haven't checked out that method. HTC dev works so why would anyone spent countless hours trying to gain root when a perfectly fine route exists.

Because I'm concerned about relocking my bootloader, if I use that method, and having it say LOCKED instead of RELOCKED.
