i have one question in here...
what's the mean by "plug your sd card" ? in the step 4...is it to make drive mode?
completely removed
Thanks a lot!
Thanks for the feedback! Once again: thank Navrasis, this is entirely his creation ..!
@Metronom76: A million thanks for the tutorial, this is brilliant!
never mind..get it working..thanks!!!
at the end do you have to htc unlock AND revolutionary ? cant you just use revolutionary...?
I also get a failed error when doing it....I think that is the reason the zip wont flash in bootloader
help ?
SO my problem is when doing fastboot oem writecid HTC__001 I get an error....not allowing me to end up flashing the zip
Thanks. im on .11 Im going to try it now once the download hurries up so I can et going. Hopefully it works with 11. Thanks again

This is not error. Cid change succefully
Lock your bootloader. Hboot lags and dont want locked. Try and try lock.

Do htc unlock and Revolutionary.
Nope no luck for me either on hboot .11 sickened.
what does htc unlock do that revolutionary does not ? I thought revolutionary was htc + now more options to flash splash radio kernel etc...I just flashed a splash without doing htc unlock again and it went fine
also, can I htc unlock now again after revolutionary ?

I noticed on the hex screenshot in the original post that the line he was editing was a bit different than mine so instead of just 22 to 20 I changed the rest of the number to match his exactly. It seems to be working properly this time. I got the option to update which I didnt get the last time.
Yeah its updating perfectly now.
What I meant was
In the screenshot the hex line was 1.22.720.1 that you change to 1.20.720.1
My phone didnt have 720.1 at the end of it, it had a different number so I had to change the whole line not just the 22.

hi s-off my phone when the hboot was 1.49.0007
but after the ics update i re(s-on) my phone for the new ics update
but now the hboot is 1.53.0007 and can't make it s-off(Update sucks nothing special)
1_tried using unlimited.io but didn't work made an error my guess because it's ics
2_tried using GB ROM(Leedroid) didn't work
used fastboot flash boot boot.img still no luck (restarts every 5 seconds)
3_PG86IMG.zip fails (Main version is Older)
4_last shooter ruu error 140
Any advice? thank you
If you accepted an official OTA update, then you are likely now stuck in Hboot1.5-Hell. (I made this mistake many moons ago.)
You can try one of the many methods to downgrade your HBoot, but I don't know how that works with the official ICS update.
Sorry.
thanks for answering
hope there will be a solution soon
not much of a problem still can flash any ICS ROM Unless Sense 4.0
but if there are any other ideas please help

That error could mean the update put your bootloader to stock I'm not certain of what your capable of doing at the moment but I do know to unlock the bootloader for hboot 1.5 you had to use the HTC unlock method and maybe you'll have to use it. I'm not an expert so this may not be the case but keep in mind you said your hboot is at a different value than previous to me it would only make sense to use the HTC method to unlock reestablish root the use the wire trick to get s-off. If you try this I wish you success. Sorry if this seems lacking but if I find something out I'll make sure you know

1_ you tried unlimited.io and it didn't work? Thats surprising to me.
2_ have you tried booting recovery from fastboot and flashing a gb rom? Fastboot boot recovery yourrecovery.img
3_ You can run an older ruu if you change your main version, but it still won't lower your hboot, your phone says its version "x.x.x.x" and the ruu is lower so it won't flash.
4_ you will never be able to lower your hboot unless you use a downgrade method like unknownforces brick/downgrade. If you put a lower hboot in the newest ruu, it won't run because you've broken the HTC signature. Id try the wire trick again if I were you.
Question, why did you s-on? I've taken ota's with s-off and as soon as I see the new hboot I just reflash the engineering hboot.
I have ~ the same problem as friend.evil, although he says he can run roms with Sense < 4, (if i understood correctly) while i can not.
I did try the lastest GB (provided by anryl) PG86IMG, with no luck (device always stuck in boot loop), but i do not have any goldcard (nor could i find one for evo 3d, but i did not google for it that much)
I am not sure about what you (anryl) mean by « official pg86img with changed older hboot ? » ?
Would an ICS RUU solve the problem ? I will probably also try to downgrade hboot if no other suggestions pops up =S

I don't mean to be insensitive but if you s-on'd and then took a new ota then youve got a problem on your hands. An older ruu with an older hboot will do you no good as it won't flash unless you change your main version, and even if you do that it won't flash an older hboot, just an older system (gb). You should go ahead and check in to downgrading.

Gotcha, well you should consider downgrading to get s-off. It's much more trouble free than s-on. Are you gsm or cdma?
NVM, dumb question, lol, if you took an ics ota then you're gsm
Edit... After reading your post in the link provided, is say that an ics ruu would fix u up. I'm cdma so I wouldn't know where to find it at.
Thanks for you suggestions… But still, i don't understand why downgrading should be necessary : why would flashing a rom, stock or not be a problem for the bootloader ? Can we not write to system or flash the boot partition anymore (from fastboot, using fastboot flash boot boot.img ?) in 1.53.0007 ?
(And indeed, gsm forgot to mention, sry)

You might be on to something there, some hboots don't accept commands that others do. I would think that if you changed your main version and then ran a gb pg86img, it would get you back to gb but it won't change your hboot.
Have you tried booting a recovery from fastboot with fastboot boot recovery.img?
You can't use radios, ruu's, or the juop s-off method with 1.53. It's like having a locked/unlocked boatloader.

All the files not being found with different extensions is normal
It always searches for all of these files every time you load the bootloader, and unless you put a pg86.img on your sd card,than it's okay that it's not there.
If a ruu doesn't help, then I don't know, Does the RUU give an error??
If so what does the error say.

You put your phone in fastboot usb, Google it. And double click the ruu on your pc, It's a program its self with an explanitory UI, That is all.

to use tis file you have to take your phone and go into your hboot and select fastboot
next plug your phone up to the computer via the usb cable
the ruu i gave you the link for double click that on the computer and let it run .....this iis something that must be done on a windows computer not a linux
the difference is that one is a zip file and it contains the gingerbread version of android which functions mainly with hboot 1.4,1.5 or 1.04 eng
the zip file can be installed by renaming it to pg86img.zip and going to hboot
the file you are supposed to down load contains the file for ice cream sandwhich which runs on hboot 1.58.... so since youre s-on you have to use this file and run it then you can go about customizing it

If you successfully flashed the RUU and the phone won't boot you probably need to get it replaced.

He said he flashed the RUU successfully and the phone still wouldn't boot. I have no way to confirm that's true but if it is I don't think flashing anything else is going to help him at this point and he should at least get someone at Sprint to look at the phone since presumably it's been reset back to stock.

i figure its worth a shot if it doent work its not like it is going to break it...right? but if it doesnt work then id agree with you and say take it in
It seems like the questions about returning to 100% stock are coming up more often lately, possibly because more users are moving on to other devices. Whatever the reason, I thought a simple guide might be useful to avoid having to duplicate this info in other threads and PM's.
This procedure should work for any CDMA or GSM Evo 3D/V that is S-OFF. There is no way to get an S-ON device that has been HTC unlocked back to 100% stock since relocking the bootloader will result in a status of "relocked".
Here are the steps to do it:
1. Flash the "query_bootloader.zip" file attached to this post in recovery. If the status message shows your bootloader is "unlocked" or "relocked" flash the "lock_bootloader.zip" file from the same post to reset it to "locked".
2. Download an RUU.exe (Windows) or RUU.zip (bootloader) file for your model from this page and flash it using the appropriate method.
If you use the .exe version from Windows it works best if you put the phone into "fastboot USB" mode, and you may have to cancel the RUU utility and restart if it hangs after flashing the stock bootloader when you start with a custom hboot installed.
To flash the RUU.zip via the bootloader it must be renamed to PG86IMG.zip and placed in the root of your SD card, and may need to be flashed twice if a custom hboot is installed the first time it is flashed.
I recommend using the latest version for your model but any compatible RUU can be flashed while S-OFF. It's also a good idea to boot the ROM without doing any setup after flashing the RUU to make sure the ROM has been reset to the stock version.
3. Confirm that the bootloader shows "***LOCKED***" on the top line of the screen and the HBOOT version is a stock bootloader for your device.
4. Issue the "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" command from a PC.
Note: Make 100% sure you have the stock bootloader installed before issuing this command or you will brick your phone.
Your phone will now be 100% stock.
ramjet73
Thanks for the nice toturial but i´m just wondering one thing.
If you fail with the command
Code:
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
, will your phone get hardbricked or is it possible to flash a recovery and start over again with fastboot?

If that command fails nothing will happen and your phone will stay S-OFF but the odds of that happening are very small unless your phone is not in "fastboot usb" mode when you issue it.
The risk involves issuing that command when you have a custom hboot like JBear or Revolutionary installed because those bootloaders are not signed and will cause the phone to brick. In that scenario you would not be able to get into recovery.

Ok thanks man.
Ok, in the RUU's I can download I have 2 problems:
1) How do I know which one to download? I see a few that have Sprint ICS. I have the Virgin Mobile phone Evo V 4g. Which one would I get?
2) I have already tried downloading a few of them, and each time it stops at a different point and windows says the zip file is not valid. Is there another place I can download the correct RUU?
I need to get this done soon as I have a replacement headed this way.

This is the wrong thread for what you need to do and I posted a link to the correct guide in the thread you opened in the development forum that got moved to Q&A.
When you are ready to download the RUU look for the 2.89.651.2 version.
ramjet73
thank you ramjet for the link. my phone is now 99% stock. The 1% is because of the S-OFF part of the bootloader. It shows it is locked so that's good, but I think that means I can't turn S-ON, as it says in the first post. Oh well, hopefully they will accept it like that.

Which RUU do i use for a Sprint Evo 3?
I'd like to follow the instructions here; you pointed me to this OP in another reply when I asked how to go back to stock, but I don't know which one to use. I'm on hboot 1.50.5050 running CM 10.1 on a Sprint Evo 3D, using "Wild for the Night" and I want to go back to 100% stock, S-ON, unrooted, locked.
Is 'WWE' the US version? I know not to use RUUs for other countries but I can't tell which to use from the list.
(I used the jbear wire trick and have Ext4 installed if it makes any difference.)

Does it work for EVO 3D GSM with Revolutionary?
Sorry for my english.
ramjet73 said:
This procedure should work for any CDMA or GSM Evo 3D/V that is S-OFF. There is no way to get an S-ON device that has been HTC unlocked back to 100% stock since relocking the bootloader will result in a status of "relocked".

Probably not, since ramjet said that in the OP.

If he has Revolutionary and is S-OFF this guide should work as long as the RUU is available for the model of his phone. That's the only thing that is specific to the GSM or CDMA model.

The hboot doesn't matter, but if you are on Virgin Mobile you need this one.

hey guys/gals, let me start off by saying that i knew better but as always i screwed up by letting my add get the best of me! i relocked bootloader to RUU to stock . problem is that i didnt load the correct splash1 first! now when i try to flash anything i get the signature error. im hoping that a work-around is available. i tried the htcdev but get an error 160 MID not allowed. tried the toolkit(s) available, NO ADB!!! soooo here i am hoping that you guys might have experienced a moment of dumbness as i did....i get a multitude of errors when trying to flash stuff (error 12 sig failure,wrong main version error)...was unlocked and rooted per rumrunner (THANKS BEAUPS!!!!!) prior to my screw up... heres what i have
s-on
hboot-1.33.0001
radio-1.01.1112
baseband-1.01.01.1112
version main-3.06.605.4
cid-VZW_001
bootloader-041a62aa
(lmk if any further info is needed)
like i stated before , i know i needed to flash splash1 BEFORE locking bootloader but in my defense i had my 11 week old son in my arms (multitasking FAIL) , so if you guys have ANY suggestion please feel free to lmk...THANKS IN ADVANCE as this is a new problem for me!
and btw, i spent yesterday sifting through threads to try to solve this ,to no avail....i didnt want to tie you guys up prematurely
i did try to re run rumrunner and moonshine (even though i knew moonshine wouldnt work) but as i said , i have no adb and usb debugging s questionable, although i can use fastboot to rebootRUU

Reboot bootloader, the second firmware is the new Hboot 1.54.0000 need it to run the new Ruu. hope it help
after reboot bootloader confirm that your hboot is the new. so you can go ahead with the ruu
k thanks, but I think the problem im having running the RUU is the image...whatever that is, I think the splash1 I forgot to load...I will try running the jb_50 RUU now though , thanks

You're welcome! glad that you can back on business. :victory:
Instructions clearly said the splash image was only for custom splash images. It is not a necessary step.

See that's the thing, I was running pro bam which had a non stock splash img so I assumed I had to, my bad
You may need to reinstall adb?

Yeah, I did as a precaution.... The firmware2 file let me run RUU after I flashed it... I still can't believe I made such a bone head mistake! Now I just wish I could get my Bootloader unlock token for future screw ups lol But I just get error 160 MID not allowed when I try, At least rumrunner worked for me!

You can no longer do that any more.
That sucks donkey balls!
If you're s-off you can set cid to 22222222 and get an unlock token at htcdev
Thank you sir! I now have the token I have been needing!

Hey
I wanted to know is there anyway to downgrade hboot with Stock RUU
I have right now 3.28.401.1 but i got something like this: 1.20.401.8
Is it okay, or can it brick my device.
Other solutions dont work, i have done it all

use my guide. You will have to re root and re flash recovery. if u us an ruu, No chance of bricking your device it's only flashing the pg86img. Zip

I also had S-ON and was still able to unlock via htc dev.
hmmm actually you could try using the wire trick but i dont remember how it was called.
and with the wire trick i achieved my HBOOT downgrade from 1.53 back to 1.49 and S-OFF also.

No it wont but doing such thing always requires caution
Here is a very good tutorial step by step from our xda member rizozizo:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2694007
I used it myself and worked well
But yeah you wont achieve it at first try cause you will need to repeat maybe 2-8 more times (it took me 20 btw xD) but it will work guaranteed
You can also google for evo 3D wire trick for a video that is online to give you better understanding what you need to do

tried all options like 5 days now, NOTHING Happens
Joupunut failed,unlock failed, tried different radios, failed
everything i tried just failed
How can you flash different radios when you're s-on?

juopunutbear will work, stay on stock rooted rom for the procedure, then patience is all you need
So something finally changed. I Used UnknownForce method to brick my device
I got now 1.49.0007 but without a ruu, everytime i wanted to install with ruu, it says that Error 131
I also tried to change cid but didn't work
Also tried the fastboot mode to push stock GB PG86IMG.zip on it, then it says CID ERROR and tried to change supecid or HTC__001 mode but i doesn't work. Allways errors
Press power to exit and like that. i can be only in bootloader, fastboot mode and recovery mode
With hboot 1.49.0007 you should be able to s-off with revolutionary.io
Afterwards install recovery.img in fastboot mode (4ext recommendet).
Then you free to flash any rom in recovery.
and when you'll s-off with rivolutionary you'll be able to flash unsigned/incompatible ruu
i can't do the rev.io thing. it says to install drivers but adb/fastboot works
adb is acting weird too, when i switch off my phone then connect usb, pc says that htc is connected and adb says device is offline.
fastboot works in fastboot mode
i think when i did Ultimate recovery Tool thing, it sayed to install stock GB ROM but i cant install
Ah yes, I think I remember.
For revolutionary you need a running rom.
AFAIK ruu error 131 means you have the wrong ruu for your phone (cid error).
Run "fastboot oem getvar all" in fastboot mode to get the infos for the matching gb ruu (carrier, hboot version, baseband).

and check that the ruu is for SHOOTER_U and not for SHOOTER (CDMA version)! maybe you have wrong version, and phone is just saving itself from bricking :fingers-crossed:
