Can it be used to flash a radio on hboot 1.5 phones?
Is there any other way to update to a previous radio on 1.5 phones?
Thanks!

No it can not. You need to go through fastboot.

I tried that and it fails.
Seems hboot 1.5 doesn't allow it. That's why I was hoping this tool might help.

I haven't had to flash a radio but if you look around I think there's a radio zip file you can try just go through boot loader using adb.

Unfortunately that fails too.
The boot loader finds the zip file, tries to update, and then stops at "Parsing"

Sorry I couldn't help if anything just flash a ruu.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Thanks for trying sir.
yeah. We talked about this the other day. I do not believe there is any way to downgrade radios on hboot 1.5
An ruu won't work and you can't flash it through fastboot. You should be able to take an ruu or ota to upgrade a radio, but no way to downgrade that I have figured out.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
Yeah, that's really too bad. I have found with this phone that the only way to get good call quality is to use the original prerelease radio. Otherwise people simply can't hear me half the time. Looks like this one is going on ebay.

Came with the 1.13 system software release.
Personally, I always prefer to pull files from their original source rather than some random person.
RUU .exe and .zip files are hosted here: http://www.goo-inside.me/shooter/ruu . You can extract the boot image from inside of the 1.13* PG86IMG.zip inside of the firmware.zip file.
Hope that helps!

Look here
I know it says for htc unlocked phones, but the process of unrooting is the same. Just use the 1.13.651.7 RUU, after it flashes go to fastboot and type:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
and you're done.

i am currently running an ICS rom and need to return mine for another device since it is defected.
Can i just htcdev LOCK then flash the ruu renamed as PH98IMG.zip to get back to stock?
You can do that cause I think ruu is different than just flashing stock. I had an og evo and I flashed the stock and I still had s-off so best advice make sure there is an s-on utility for ur device then use the ruu to return to stock

That will work fine. You can also relock then run the RUU on a windows PC, but pretty much the same thing will be accomplished.
i flashed back to gb then did waht i stated in the op and all it did was lock me in the bootloader and now my phone is stuck no matter what it do.

I'm no expert but I think (if you made a Nandroid) you can extract the boot.img from the Nandroid then flash it and restore your stock Backup. I would also wipe / factory reset in recovery.
If you don't have a Nandroid backup you can download the RUU or a boot.img from a Rom like Scott's GB ROM and use one of those after you extract the boot.img.
I just did this today, I first flashed back to a gingerbread rom, then i unzipped the ruu and took the boot_signed.img from it, renamed it to boot than flashed it from fastboot. Then I put the ruu zip on my memory card (renamed it to ph98img) and fastboot OEM locked the device. I then rebooted the bootloader and applied the update.

I got it from scottsroms.com, I just downloaded the zip file in the ruu section, as for reverting back to a gingerbread Rom, I'm sure anyone of them would work (scotts clean rom has always done me well). I only say that because once you flash the boot image, your ics rom won't boot, so you can't place the ruu on the memory card, unless you have another way to mount your sd card to the computer (i.e. adapter, or another phone)

I believe all you have to do is pick the rom you want, install it and your good. The majority of them automatically takes you to hboot to flash the kernal, but not all of them, so make sure you read the instructions before you flash.

Wait I thought even if you relocked the bootloader it said "relocked" or something at the top so Verizon could tell no matter what. That's the only reason i haven't unlocked yet because i just got a new device and want to make sure there are no bugs with it.

I wondered this as well. Most csr's don't seem to be as knowledgeable as the people here on xda. They also don't seem to have a lot of knowledge on particular devices besides the obvious specs. I really don't think anyone is going to boot into fastboot to see it's been relocked, or even know what that means.
I'm gonna gamble with it, I'm tired of the noise coming from the headphone Jack whenever I play music.

I just spoke with a Verizon tech on the phone last night, he told me that simply unlocking the phone would NOT void the warranty considering HTC is allowing it via their website. However he did say that any rooting/roms would void it immediately (if they can detect it of course).
So basically just put it back to stock and you are good?

However, there is now another option.
Take a look in the Dev forum, and there are easy to follow directions for downgrading to HBOOT 1.4 which allows you to use Revolutionary.

Cool man just wanting to make sure you got the right thing.. Which you did.
1.Backstory:
I am running the latest ICS leak (4.03.605.2) I am UN-Rooted and S-Off
When I ran Controlbear everything went fine but when presented with the option to install a different hboot I declined...
Now via ADB I CANNOT push recovery... I get the remote fail error.
I've tried renaming the flashable Amon Ra recovery to PH98IMG.zip...but it doesn't "parse." Regardless I am unable to do anything.
What are my option and what do I do?
S-on and then re-off? How do I S-on? (I haven't seen a rezound thread for this)
Can I flash anything? Do I flash a different hboot? Can I flash it via the PH98IMG method?
Any help would be most appreciated!

Flash the jupunto bear hboot

Rename to PH98IMG and flash on hboot

Put it on your and/fastboot folder and run the following command
Fastboot flash recovery amon315.img
Then boot into recovery and flash this zip to root your rezound

Make sure the file is on the root of your sd card
Done Enjoy

While I was waiting for you replies I thought I was going a little mad because
I had read that flashable PH98IMG.zip files could be achieved S-off/Locked...

You can't flash stuff in fastboot with a locked bootloader with the stock hboot, and s-off relocks the bootloader.
So you have to flash a hacked hboot.
Flashing via ph98img, however, still works.

Unsure what happened. Phone has been rebooting and overheating for days so I went to RUU it and after I relocked the bootloader my phone decided not to go past bootloader anymore. When I try RUU I get Error 140 Bootloader Version Error. My bootloader has a Security Warning at the top which was not there before. I would like to RUU and get S-OFF so I can take the phone in without issue but am having no luck.
Some more info would be useful. What Hboot & baseband are you currently on, and what RUU did you try to run?

The radio version is directly below the Hboot version. That looks like the Hboot version. Boot into the bootloader and list the info displayed in the top left corner of the screen, all the way down to the radio version.
You relocked so you'll need to unlock again. You may even need to install a recovery again. What ROM/kernel combo were you on? If you were on a custom kernel, I would try a different one or stick with stock. Some kernels don't play well with certain phones, especially if you're overclocking or changing the voltage any. For now, try unlocking and getting the phone up and running again.
Also, gaining S-off is highly recommended

Hboot is 2.09 Radio is 1.12 I cannot unlock because it won't write. I cannot seem to do anything. I tried using the Unbricking tool but it does not recognize my device. I think this issue started when I tried to lock after a failed s-off attempt.
What do you mean when you say it won't write?
Also, for your radio, use the last four digits, not the ones at the beginning.

You won't be able to use fastboot commands to push a recovery to your phone while it's relocked. Also, the RUU won't work because you're on a software version higher than the most recent RUU.

The unlock token won't write. Nothing will write. If there was a modified RUU that would help. If I could modify my version so the RUU would work that would work... and yeah HTC really screwed us...
