This procedure applies to both flyers and view
Required downloads
First download the Gingerbread RUU for your device from this thread.
If you don't have adb and fastboot on your PC
Get fastboot and adb tool for windows here
Get Fastboot and adb for linux here
I don't have a simple bundde for Mac, would welcome a link if anyone has one.
Download my universal misc_version and unzip to obtain the misc_version file.
Download tacoroot
Place both the misc_version and tacoroot.bin files in the same directory as adb
Procedure
Check the version number for your gingerbread RUU
In my example I am using this RUU: RUU_Flyer_HTC_WWE_2.00.405.3_R_Radio_20.3501.30.08 9BU_3809.05.04.10_M_release_194964_signed.exe
The version is the part highlighted in red.
Boot your flyer up to android if it's not already on, with usb debugging enabled and connect it to the PC.
Run the following adb commands
Code:
adb push tacoroot.bin /data/local
adb push misc_version /data/local
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tacoroot.bin
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/misc_version
adb shell /data/local/tacoroot.bin --setup
At this point your device will reboot to recovery
Simultaneously press Volume Up, Volume Down and Power
Reboot your device
Run the following command
Code:
adb shell /data/local/tacoroot.bin --root
Your device will reboot, do not worry if it does not boot fully, it doesn't matter for this procedure, and it is a side effect of this root exploit.
Run the following command:
Code:
adb shell /data/local/misc_version -s [COLOR="Red"]2.00.405.3[/COLOR]
Note that the number in RED is the version number retrieved in step 1.
Reboot to fastboot:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Run your RUU ( if on linux or mac, see other similar threads from me on how to RUU on those OSes )
Special Thanks
jcase for providing the tacoroot.
Nice release globatron! I was actually looking at Tacoroot for this last night but didn't really want to go into it too much and decided against using it. Glad to see I wasn't the only one with the idea for it though.
heh, Gave jcase the updated misc_version so he has it on the github radme for tacoroot already but didn't want to release the procedure until I has actually tested misc_version to run on at least a few HTC emmc devices and with multiple version string lengths.
Even if you didn't release this today, I probably would have started on it tonight, I'm a bored teenager with too much time. Still, keep up the good work. If you want me to make a script for you or anything, let me know and I'll get to work on it. (also, you know you can actually have adb from the recovery so you dont need to hit the buttons on it, just have it wait then adb reboot (or even adb shell reboot))
Of course I know that but that's not the what the buttons is about here.
What are the points of the button?

Ah, you want the button presses to be logged to ensure it's done the job. Alright, fair enough.
Glad to TacoRoot in use!
Thanks for the spice jcase, just realized I had a typo in the procedure....jcase *provided*, not tested (well that too), tacoroot.

is the typo msc_version being misc_version
thanks Kevin, fixed that.
yep, didnt notice it until someone tried to do my procedure today lol... copy and paste my friend lol. Plus I just need to know one thing. This brings you down to GB but still keeps you locked right? You still technically have to use HTC unlock to bring it back to 1.13.000 correct?
Part1: correct, you've never unlocked if you do this.
Part2: No, you don't have to unlock at all during this procedure.
so to go from the 1.14 hboot to 1.13 u dont need to htc unlock?

the download link takes me to the flyer RUU, i understand the view & flyer are the same except the 3g/4g network on the View. i just want to make sure i download the correct RUU for my View. what verision do i need? this one "RUU_Express_Sprint_WWE_1.22.651.1_Radio_1.05.11.0531_NV_2.28_SPCS_release_198141_signed.exe"

That one is fine. Express is the board name or the view so an RUU with express (not expresskt) in the name is what you need.
Hello, thanks for the downgrade help. Upgraded to honeycomb and hated it so I followed your instructions and everything went exactly as described until the middle of the RUU upgrade itself where it stopped and gave me an

Its completely stock, was notified of the new update by htc and installed it over wifi. Thanks in advance for any help
What appears to have happened here is that somewhere along the way something didn't work fully and you failed to set the version to the same as or lower than the RUU you used.
I would need to see the output of :
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main
to be absolutely certain of this. If that is the case then becasue you are completely stock the best course of action would be for you to return it for repair. Tell the technical support people that this happened when you tried to take the OTA update to HoneyComb. The alternative will require you to use the HTC unlock.

The typo correction is correct but that it doesn't work is not. I've done this multiple times with both my own and other peoples devices and it works just fine. Make sure you used a gingerbread RUU and the it flashed completely. AND that you not doing this on an S-OFF device.

Thats the fault. My Flyer is S-OFF. Is there a possibility to get back to GB anyway?
Edit: Found a Solution. It cost me the whole day, but now it works.
The bad note: I don't know the Link with the solution. But it was in this Forum.
I got to it by Flashing a 3.2.1 ROM, and after that a 2.3.4 ROM via Goldcard-Method. (Via the SD-Card.)
During the process the Bootloader creates a message, that the installed hboot version isn't downgradeable or something like that. I hacked that into Google and it throws out a Thread in this Forum with the Solution.
Might be a little off topic, but the title:
[Pocedure]No HTC unlock HC-GB downgrade for official HC OTA
"[Pocedure]" is missing a letter r

What you say does not make sense to me. This thread specifically says this is for official HC upgrade which implies you have to be S-ON and locked.
If you are S-OFF you need to follow Globatron's other thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19607833&postcount=3

I assume it is for the RUU.. where do I need to copy the RUU file to my SD or to the same folder where ADB is?
That is not the ruu. It is the misc file and all files should not be on your ad unless you are trying to flash the zip through hboot. They should be in your adv folder

The hope of this thread is to centralize downgrade questions and also make the resources more accessible.
It is important to know your status.
-are you stock ota
-are you htc dev unlock hc
-are you s off hc
If you can not figure this out, god help you. To figure this out get into hboot the top will say
-s on
-unlocked
-s off
Don't know how to get into hboot? Wow! Novice. Hold power and volume down until flyer boots into white screen with androids on skateboards. Ta da!
Now that we know our status how do you downgrade? I take no credit for any of these methods.

If you have a question ask here or downgrade thread, do not start your own thread. Read the other questions asked first, the hope is that after a little while most scenarios will be covered. If a question is repeated multiple times it will be ignored.
Why bother doing this? I have an odd compulsion to help. I remember when I got my first android device and I rooted it and deleted gtalk. My market stopped working. I went into newbie panic and others helped me even though my issue was pathetic. I remember what that felt like and how cool it was that someone helped me. So, I hope this helps

Hello,
After a few weeks trying I still have problems downgrading to GB.
My Flyer is Relocked and S-on.
HTC__001
Softwareno. 3.55.1114.31
S-on
HBoot 1.11.0011
Radio-3822.10.08.07_M
I have the following RUU: RUU_Flyer_HTC_WWE_Wifi_2.27.1114.31_Radio_20.3504.30.089BU_3809.07.04.06_M_release_204727_signed
I have used Globatrons guide.
The problem appears when I type the command:
adb shell /data/local/tacoroot.bin --root
I get the following message:
cannot create /data/local.prop: permission denied
And after this i cannot go on.
Can someone tell me what to do, I think I have tried everything now.
thx Driesman
*EDIT: globatron has already mentioned this, but just to confirm, it does not work if you have already unlocked your bootloader through htcdev.com. it does not work if you have obtained CWM recovery through htc unlock. it does not work if you have root through htc unlock. it will only work if you have unmodified stock HC. at least this was my experience.
Have you unlocked before?
I have unlocked and relocked the flyer.
Globatron has to guides; one with unlocked and one with locked flyer.
Is there another way to go back to GB?
I think you should unlock your hboot again. Flash a recovery and super user. Then follow the thread I linked in the op for htc dev unlock
Okay I will try.
Can you tell me step by step how to do: "I think you should unlock your hboot again. Flash a recovery and super user"
Maybe I am doing something wrong.
Follow this site to unlock bootloader
http://htcdev.com/bootloader/
Then get into fastboot mode, I assume you have adb and fastboot commands on your PC. Place this in same folder as command
https://www.box.com/shared/9bb9ba944ea6f301afe8
Open commands on PC then enter command
Fastboot flash recovery "name of file you downloaded"
Place this on your external SD
https://www.box.com/shared/b51a527355d7fba5dca3
Get into recovery and select install zip from Sd. Select this file
Flyer
Everything seems to work ok until I type the following command:
adb shell
$ su
# chmod 777 /data/local/misc_version
# /data/local/misc_version -s 2.27.1114.31
Then I get the error below:
D:\Adb>adb shell
$ su
# chmod 777 /data/local/misc_version
# /data/local/misc_version -s 2.27.1114.31$ $ su
$: permission denied
$ # chmod 777 /data/local/misc_version
$
See also uploaded screenshot
Am I doing something wrong?
What to do now?
You flashed super user in recovery
Flyer
Is that a question?
Yes.
Yes I did.
Can I copy, paste the command below or do I have to run each line seperately?
adb shell
$ su
# chmod 777 /data/local/misc_version
# /data/local/misc_version -s 2.27.1114.31
Each line seperate
Make sure when you enter in su to have your flyers screen on and to allow sufficient access when prompted
Flyer
Yes, I think it is working now??
See attachment
Now I will try to finish it....
The next step is to Reboot to fastboot.
Do I have to enter the command (adb reboot bootloader) into the dos screen or do I choose the option on the Flyer (REBOOT BOOTLOADER)?
However you want
Flyer
YES........It worked!
After all these hours trying.
How can I thank you?
There is a button for that. Glad to hear it worked. Enjoy
Where is the THANKS button?
Have searched for it before but cannot find it.
Depends if you are using app. Or Web page. no worries

I tried a while ago to unlock my bootloader using HTCDev when it first came out, would get to the part where the confirmation screen should pop up on your phone screen to unlock the bootloader but the screen never showed after multiple attempts, so frustrated, I gave up and told my self I'd come back later. Well later came around a few days ago and I attempted to unlock the bootloader again with the same results as the first time, get to the point where I'm supposed to confirm on my phone screen but it never shows. Did some research to find out the OTA version of the update to ICS could have possibly been the problem, but before I went any further I did a full backup of my phone using Carbon, then did a factory reset from the fastboot menu. Now the problem is, after I did the factory reset my computer no longer recognizes my phone when I plug it in. It can't find HTC sync on my computer even though it is, adb devices shows nothing, same with fastboot devices in fastboot mode. My computer recognized the phone just fine up until the factory reset. So I guess my question is, what caused this to happen and how can I fix it? Also, maybe some help unlocking my bootloader? I think I have to flash the RUU but my phone is 2.95.651 and I don't think it lets you go backwards unless you are S-OFF?
Edit: I guess I should mention that I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the HTC drivers, usb debugging is enabled and Fast Boot in the power options is disabled, I'm also using the USB cord supplied with my phone, tried different USB ports, performed a second factory reset, made sure all my SDK stuff was up to date, and scoured these forums for 2 days now trying to figure it out (apologies if I missed the one thread with all the answers I need, I did try though). Additionally, in fastboot when I plug in my USB cord it switches to fastboot usb, but nothing shows up on devices, which I find really odd.
Anybody have any ideas/solutions for this?
Yep,

I used srs root to gain a root shell followed scotty85's instructions to set mainver low via adb shell then used the brick downgrade hboot method and followed it up with 1.13 ruu and finished with revolutionary
Post #50 is my instructions and scotty85 are a few posts back
Ok, so I got it... kind of. What I did was try the above method with no luck but I ended up using wraith's temproot and scotty's mainver workaround from above then while it was still in it's temproot state I was able to flash a 2.89 RUU, and after that I was unable to unlock the bootloader through HTCdev. Now on to actually root/s-offing it ^ ^

I'm not sure if they use the same hboot or not. I was able to flash 2.89 RUU in the temproot state on hboot 1.58.0000. After the flash I retried unlocking the bootloader through HTCdev and it worked flawlessly. Then I was able to root it and juopnutbear s-off, which applied juopnutbear hboot 1.58.5858. It seems like temprooting the phone using your method and flashing a 2.89 RUU might be the workaround for people who have trouble using HTCdev due to the OTA update.
I should also mention someone suggested this method on phandroid forums (scott actually, I believe) on a different thread and so I tried it. I was going to link his post here but I haven't met the link post requirement yet. So as a disclaimer, this isn't my idea, it just worked so I posted here.
Now that I'm home from work I figured I could give a more detailed list of what I did to root my Evo 3D, I feel the information above gets a little confusing with so many different places to go. As previously stated I had trouble unlocking my bootloader using HTCdev, it would get to the step where you confirm on your phone the unlock but never show up, I found this was usually caused by updating your phone to ICS using the OTA as compared to an RUU. Somehow something gets messed up and your phone never wants to confirm, hopefully this will help people who don't want to brick/downgrade hboot in order to be able to root their phones but can't unlock from HTCdev do to this error. Anyway, on to it.
1. Download SRSRoot
A 2.89 RUU
The files from [Guide] Quick And Dirty Evo 3D/V Root & S-OFF (Sprint and Virgin Mobile Only)
2. Run SRSRoot
3. SmartRoot
4. Follow the steps until your phone restarts and you just have a status bar at the top (this is your 'temproot')
5. Close SRSRoot (you may have to kill in the task manager, or at least I did to get it to completely quit mid-steps)
6. Navigate to the folder where the files from the 'QnD' guide and open the cmd link in the Root folder.
7. Type, or copy & paste the following in order (not the stuff in brackets like this, these are notes);
adb devices (should return your phones serial number, indicating drivers are working, and you're connected)
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell (should change your prompt to a #, if not, have your phone awake and watch the screen to grant superuser permissions when you enter su (not likely applicable here))
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version (have your phone awake and be watching it, in case superuser needs you to grant permission (again, not likely applicable))
/data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.00.000.0
exit (exit again if your prompt changes to a $)
8. Run your 2.89 RUU exe (it should run and reinstall 2.89 to stock, you may lose information, unsure about that though, so back ups are always recommended)
9. Restart your phone after the install if it doesn't happen automatically
10. Retry unlocking using HTCdev method
Hopefully at this point the bootloader actually unlocks for you and you can start at Step 2 of the 'QnD' guide to get root access and S-Off.
Big thanks to thewraith420 for the temproot method and scotty85 over at phandroid for the mainver change directions.
The reason I asked if 2.89 used the 1.58 hboot is just to further understand why it worked I think that setting the mainver is what let you run the ruu. And it didn't complain about the hboot because they use the same one. Nicely done getting the info together.

I was encountering the same issue as you for the HTC bootloader unlock, so thanks so much for this info, it worked like a charm. It might be helpful for others to know that you can find the misc_version referenced by downloading the file scotty85 mentions in his post on guide-how-manually-downgrade-firmware-build-6-01-605-05 (Sorry, I'm unable to post the link)

current condition : unlock bootloader, software number 4.03.605.2 710RD (unrooted and fresh stock coz i read the Pre-requisites: from the JuopunutBear's site only use stock RUU and unrooted)
since JuopunutBear / Unlimited.IO team had removed the tool for windows and only support for Ubuntu 12.04 (and newer) 32bit. # currently i use the latest ubuntu 13.04.
the instructions here http://unlimited.io/juopunutbear.htm are not too detail for newbie like me

"cd into the folder where you extracted and run the following cmd:
Note: This cmd returns a blank new line if you have done it correctly.
chmod 755 ControlBear adb fastboot
Run ControlBear from terminal - sudo ./ControlBear"
how to do cd into the folder in ubuntu? exactly i need more detail steps from the beginning especially from anyone who did s-off for their rezound in ubuntu, i'm very very appreciate it if u don't mind sharing with me about complete and detail from zero to success s-off rezound.

It is assumed that people have very basic knowledge of Linux to use this...
"cd" in Linux is much like in DOS/CMD... so if you extracted your file to with the graphic interface, open a terminal and type the cd command just like you would in DOS, except use the forward slash instead of backslash... so use cd /users/eenpermana/downloads or whatever the relative folder is.
sudo ./ControlBear is a command done in the terminal to execute the ControlBear application, with superuser permissions (sudo means SUper-user DO) from the current directory.
chmod 755 on EACH of those files, not the full command as shown (it might be chainable, but I always do it individually)... so:
chmod 755 ./ControlBear
chmod 755 ./adb
chmod 755 ./fastboot
From the directory that you extracted the file. chmod changes the permissions of the files, to make them executable in this case since Linux doesn't use a files extension to determine that.
I know how to help...pm me on here and I'll help you out bud

Also, you could try this... https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-tbsbTajV1UeGZ5SWhlUDU0MWM/edit?usp=sharing
It is the Windows ControlBear software for the Rezound, although not supported it does work fine for most people... But there is obviously a reason it was pulled, so YMMV and I am not responsible for any issues or problems with it or that it might cause.
Take a look HERE Using the instructions I found there, I was easily able to use the ubunto version. It is from someone else that has very little ubunto experience and turned it into a simple process.

many thanks dude
your guide and info have led me into basic ubuntu command enlighment, hhe
but new problem come to me now...exactly at the final step "wire trick" and yes the problem's here.
i think i have done all steps correctly like in the instructions and have chosen proper wire too ohh yea also about the timing.
Still unlucky for me, just stuck both on my device "blur grey htc splash screen" and on terminal "do the wire trick....." continously.
thanks again for your help at least i'm not stuck at the cd/cd/cd stuff .
may be i'll try it later while waiting for alternative ways which not using wire trick , etc and just use the similar method like htc one
btw, any suggestion about decent custom rom (global preferred but not a must) yea absolutely for the s-on and unlocked? thanks again :good:
Wire trick is pretty tricky...same if you were to use juponubears s-off...in my opinion with Verizon shutting s-off methods for their phones I think that's why it was pulled...timing and everything is a key

If it keeps saying to do the wire trick over and over, then it means that you are probably using the wrong type of wire and both ends are not making the proper contact. A lot of people mentioned to use an insulated paper clip but it wouldn't work for me. I ended up finding a piece of very thin stranded wire that I scavenged from an old car stereo installation harness and I got it right away. You will know that you got the proper contact when you get the success message and then have to wait for it to restart and see if you got it right. If not, you just have to run controlbear again. One trick that worked for me was to find an online metronome and set it for 48 bpm. I used this to get the timing down right. I have read of setting it anywhere from 35 beats per minute up to the 48 beats per minute that I used. The last time I did the wire trick using the Ubuntu method, I got it on the first try.
They don't call the wire trick, a trick for nothing. The one where you have to touch the contact in the hole, you have to hold the wire straight up and down to hit it.
Took me several times to get it right... keep trying, or try another piece of wire. I've used a paper clip to do it... not sure if it will shock or not so I wrapped the middle in cloth while i did it
Been using the Infection mod for quite a while I like it a lot. Have some random reboots but I think that is an issue with my phone. Super fast and pretty good on the batter, and lots of features. Also note, S-on you have to pull the boot.img and flash separately (with the adb tools, fastboot flash boot boot.img)

Just sent a request for Sprint support
Hmmm, so I carefully ensured that I met the requirements and had the right package for my model 224113, I restored a stock TMO twrp backup, and ran rumrunner.
All seemed well until suddenly I encountered the following error during test 3
FATAL: **** IT
Now it's been printing periods in the cmd window for about 15 minutes.
The device is in bootloader.
What is safe for me to do?
S-OFFed yesterday. Thank you for this!
S-OFFed successfully, thank you very much
any way to remove "tampered" flag?
Will you be releasing Custom Hboot for different variants?

You can use revone to remote TAMPERED : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314582
You should do BOLD steps:
Instructions
Use any operating system you like, you only need adb.
1. Download revone and push it to your device: adb push revone /data/local/tmp/
2. Open an adb shell and: => command : adb shell
* cd /data/local/tmp
* chmod 755 revone
3. (optional) If your device is unlocked and rooted please switch to root using su.
4. Prepare to gain S-OFF by running the command: ./revone -P
4a. If revone reports success reboot the device and proceed to step 5)
4b. If revone reboots the device (we'll pretend this isn't an undiagnosed random crash) please wait 2 minutes then try again from step 2.
4c. If revone reports that you need to reboot and try again please reboot and try again from step 2.
5. Now that revone has successfully prepared your device for S-OFF please open another adb shell (as per step 2) and change to
the /data/local/tmp directory.
6. Instruct revone to grant you S-OFF and unlock status by running the command: ./revone -s 0 -u
6a. Other optional command arguments:-
* -u - Unlock the device
* -l - Lock the device (as if it was never unlocked)
* -r - Relock the device (mark the device as relocked)
* -t - Reset the device's tamper flag.
7. Presuming revone reported success please reboot the device again, this time to the bootloader (adb reboot bootloader)
8. You should now observe your device is S-OFF (and the lock status changed if you invoked that option).
9. (optional) Re-run revone to remove TAMPERED from your HBOOT screen: ./revone -t

@acank46.mh I S-OFF'd with ViperOne 2.6.0, so 2.7.0 should be fine.

To remove 'Tampered' banner after S-OFF'ing, put this is in terminal emulator
Code:
su
echo -ne '\x00' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 bs=1 seek=4265988
Just copy and paste it into terminal to ensure no errors

Maybe @beaups can put this in the OP to prevent repeat questions?
Got S-Off this AM. Good start to a Monday! Thank you!
