hello all
my phone is bugging out and some one suggested to flash the latest RUU.
- quick question.
---if i flash the latest RUU will i loose root?
Yes you will lose root.
thank you.
Quick question ............
-how can i flash a RUU that has the Hboot of 1.4 instead of a 1.5.
(can some one please help me my phone randomly reboots on any rom, i was recommended to flash a RUU and then unlock again)
If your current HBoot is 1.50 with S-ON you can't downgrade the Hboot, at all. You won't be able to flash a lower Firmware/baseband than what's currently installed either, but you can reflash the RUU for what's installed or a newer one.
If you have HTC Unlocked HBoot 1.50 and S-ON, you can get more info that may help you in the Guide/Flashing notes in my signature.
Edit: Saw your question in the other section that you have Hboot 1.40. Disregard

Hey guys
I have GSM UK version which had 1.20.xx stock rom and 1.49.0007 hboot. My phone was rooted and s-off using revolutionary. I updated my phone to get locale language to 1.24.xx
so does the hboot, its now 1.49.0012. My phone is still s-off but its locked.
What do you recommend guys? use HTC method but it may s-on, or flash stock RUU but im not sure if it will downgrade hboot. I only need root atm and maybe later when kernel sources get fixed I need CWM recovery.
Any help would be appreciated.

HTC Unlock method not related to S-Off or S-On. It only relates to top line : LOCKED, UNLOCKED or RELOCKED >>> I think you can safely unlock the HTCdev without fear of loss of S-Off
Thanx m8.
Now, do u think if I flash stock UK rom will I get my old hboot back??
WOOOOPY!!! flashed stock RUU and got my old hboot 0007
We envy you Scorbion! - got an asian device here HBOOT 1.49.0011 there's no way to get S-OFF atm..
i was on hboot 1.40 with a custom rom, then went back to stock and forgot the step to lock my bootloader. after all the stock rom updates im on hboot 1.50 with s-off. can i flash roms (kernels actually) without fastboot now?

I believe so. You may even be able to downgrade to hboot 1.4 I believe.

I always hit the damn thanks button instead of the quote! You got a free thanks
Anyways, go this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192306 and download the SHIP 1.40 hboot (unless you want the ENG one, then download that). Follow the instructions in that post, and flash it. Just a simple PG86IMG.zip.
This guy did the same thing as you, and had success rolling back to 1.40. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17993045&postcount=97
Good luck.
hello all
i am trying to flash a RUU to my evo 3d cdma.
i have recently flashed a radio update and its causing chaos oh my phone. my phone will reboot constantly on any rom that i flash. i was recommended by some one on this forum to flash the latest RUU.
i have an Hboot 1.4 and i dont want to loose it. as per the recommendation i was told to flash a 1.5 RUU and then it will be back to normal.
my questions...................
-whats the difference between an Hboot 1.4 vs 1.5
-is there a latest RUU with hboot 1.4 (or whats the last update for hboot 1.4)
-i have read that the 1.5 is mush more step to flash a rom.
-if i flash a RUU that has 1.5 hboot will i keep my s-off and will i be able to flash a 1.5 hboot?
can some one please help me.
Just reflash your old radio to see if that will help.

Did you do a backup before you flashed? Can you restore from backup? I'd flash the old radio as laie1472 suggested, if nothing else. Messing with radios can mess a phone up.
I am going to flash the new ICS leak (build number 3.14.605.5) in hboot. after i do that, do i have to flash the new stock 2.25 hboot from superchilpills post here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614366
any help clarifying that would be great. i am s-off and I have been flashing roms and everything just fine, the only thing I am still a little unsure about is the hboot thing. any help would be great, thanks a lot guys
If your going to do a full ruu then running the 2.25 hboot I have posted is redundant
My suggestion is if you want to stick with the ruu and not a custom Rom then just ruu
If you want to retain the Rom you are on then only flash the one I have posted as it won't affect what Rom you are running

Hey guys, I have a similar question, but just want to be explicitly clear. I am S-OFF but then ran the full RUU for the newest 3.14, so my hboot is now the 2.25. It's not allowing me to flash back a custom recovery, so I presume I have to revert the hboot to 2.21 at least. Is it as simple as following your post posted above, downloading the ICS 2.21 hboot, renaming, and flashing in bootloader? thanks
EDIT: Nevermind, didn't notice at first it had relocked after running the RUU. Successfully re-unlocked, then pushed recovery like normal. Back in business.
Hi Guys,
I have a HTC Evo 3D GSM with HBOOT 1.48.0005
I did a lot of searching but I didn't find anything useful for my HBOOT version.
Revolutionary (revolutionari dot io) solution works for 1.49.0007
Higher HBOOT needs to be downgraded to 1.49.0007, but what about lower versions? I didn't want to risk do anything stupid so I didn't try that. I looked at the HBOOT downgrade solutions so maybe I can use it to upgrade, but those solutions need an unlocked bootloader. I tried unlocking my bootloader with HTCdev, but when I flash my unlock code the bootloader unlock confirmation page doesn't pop up on my phone. (Maybe because of the old HBOOT/software, I found other ppl with 1.48.0005 who had the same problem.) The last solution could be updating the phone in the 'legal' way, but I'm afraid it would make S-off impossible/extra hard. So anyone has any experience with 1.48.0005 HBOOT? Please help me! Thanks!
Don't see a problem upgrading if revolutionary can s-off 1.49.0007, also can always downgrade hboot.

Problem solved!
I just upgraded to an official(?) 1.49.0007
Before the upgrade I changed my CID to HTC__001 (I thought it's not possible with locked bootloader but it worked, my CID was HTC11111 before)
I used this zip file: downloadandroidrom dot com/file/HTCEvo3D/hbootdowngrade/Free%203VO_V2.zip there is a rom.zip file inside, just renamed that to PG86IMG.zip and put it in the root of my SD. It upgraded me to 1.49.0007 and after i just simply used Revolutionary to go S-off.
I hope this helps if someone finds an EVO 3D under a rock which still has HBOOT 1.48.0005 and wants to go S-off.
And thanks for the answer, I'm not sure if you suggested something like this, or to go to the newest HBOOT and downgrade from there, but I was trying to keep things simple.
