Looks like you've got 1.50 with S-ON.
Then here's what you need to do:
1. Register at http://htcdev.com
2. http://htcdev.com/bootloader/ choose e3d sprint and press begin
3. follow the instructions (it might take a while)
4. flash custom recovery and SU
5. ?????
6. PROFIT!!
Someone correct me if i'm wrong, but I thought you can't downgrade hboot 1.5. To downgrade, you need s-off, and I'm pretty sure s-off is impossible with 1.5 as of this point.

Did you try following this guide?

If you need additional details, the Guide/Flashing Notes in my signature may help you.
i already tried to unlock the bootloader with htc but its a no go...
yes but the first step is to unlock the boot loader but it doesnt work. I get nothing on my screen to continue bootloader unlock
Stuck at step 13 right? You have to reflash to stock Ruu and u will be able to unlock.

yes i was trynig to do that but the ruu link is down
oops......
I'm stuck at the same place. Sounds like a noob question, but can you tell me how exactly to reflash the stock ruu? When I haven't even got unlocked yet...

If you are using a signed RUU it will flash then it will allow you to unlock using the htc method you should use the 2.08
i must ask again....where is the CORRECT ruu???!!!

I've got directions for using the RUU PG86IMG.zip linked in the guide/flashing notes in my signature. But yes, you put the correct RUU zip on the sdcard and boot to bootloader.
Ive flashed the ruu before but now my evo 3d wont recognize the file.
Ive tried naming it pg86img.zip and just pg86img

FYI, it may be case sensitive. Must be PG86IMG.zip . Make sure it doesn't end up with .zip.zip in it either.

Are you already rooted? s-off or s-on? If you are rooted, just flash a 2.17 rom, nothing will happen to your root or hboot.

ok... IF you are rooted and have an unlocked bootloader the first thing you need to do is download the stock rom and install it to the ROOT of your sdcard under the name PG86IMG.zip the reboot into your hboot screen, done by holding the volume down button and then the power button...it will start to load this new file... follow the prompts to allow it it to install fully... then frokm there let it boot up once.... then shut it down and reboot into your hboot again then relock your bootloader via the fastboot methid and then reboot again... from there you can update fully to HTC's roms and updates and then redo the procedure of unlocking your boot loader and then installing superuser....any other questions feel free to ask ill be up for awhile tonight....
I dont understand the prevuius user stated i could basucally just flash away still , while you gave me a whole run down of thigs of which i need to do, which i appreciate.

Since you are s-on just lock your bootloader If you are unlocked , and use the latest 2.17 RUU.exe....then unlock again...and root it.
the reason i gave a list of thiungs to do is bc i dont have my hands on your phone... you stated you have s-on... you should if you have 1.5 bc you cant turn that off... above that though your phone should say *unlocked* you need to set it back to say *relocked*
and you mus also make sure the recovery you have is the factory one... if you have twrp or clockmod for a recovery you will end up erroring out when the phone reboots and tries to install it... and if that happens youll end up having to flash the rest to get it to boot again

This has them all, but These are STOCK roms without root, they do not contain super user or busybox or anything, so you will lose root, you shouldn't have to re-lock to update though... it should just let you update it, this is going to wipe out whatever your current rom is.
You probably want something more like an already rooted rom though...
Thanks! So can you link me to a stock rooted rom i can flash....and after i flash it i can just update?

Ok so I have been following unknownforces downgrade thread for a while already but ran into a problem. My EVO is brand new never been unlocked (atleast as far as I know) it says locked on the bootloader and s-on. When I took the 2.17 zip and put it on my SD card and rebooted to bootloader nothing happened I mean it did read it and check it but it did not ask me to upgrade. So my question is why didn't it ask me to upgrade and should I try and flash the 2.08 ruu EXE and start from scratch then see if it will ask to upgrade the pg86img

Did you rename the whole zip to PG86IMG.zip or did you take out the system image and rename that?
And if your on 2.17 base, you can't take a 2.08 ruu without changing your main version.

I had the same problem..it would not detect the PG86IMG.zip for nothing.. i tried like 20 something times..renamed with Pc/Astro file explorer/Root Explorer nothing would give. I even redownloaded it with Pc and my E3D and still a no go..BUT.... I finally got it to detect it. Cant remember what i did but the last thing i remember doing was a battery pull and did the Power/+ Volume to boot Into Bootloader and it worked..but still not sure if that solved it or not..

Hey guys,
i'm having the same problem.
I'm on hboot 1.53.0007 unlocked with htcdev and S-Off.
With hboot unlocked and also with re-locked the phone doesn't install the PG86IMG.zip file.
I saved the file definitively on the root of the sd-card and also it's name is correct.
I'd appreciate any kind of help.
Thanks for reading and replying.

The only suggestion that I thought of is to make sure the file doesn't have a double extension like PG86IMG.zip.zip. If file extensions are hidden in Windows, it will look correct but not be.

So now that I have s-off through the wire method, what now?

I want the latest ICS that has been leaked for the Amaze, and the latest sense which I think is 3.6, I read the threads relating to the two, but it doesnt tell you what other things need to be done (pre reqs) before following their respective instructions. Thanks to anyone who replies.

ok HTC amaze = Ruby and you are almost there. all you need to do now is super cid your phone and flash the ICS and start using FACE UNLOCK .
I will help you out but there are answers to all your questions already. Since you are on telus, you will have to supercid your device. The device name for the amaze is ruby. You have most of the prerequisite elements in place.. Check out this part of the ics thread...

xndabox, is that the most useful hboot out right now or is it just more useful for the stuff that I am about to try? Ray, would it be better that I use the hboot that xnd posted?
Also, Do I have to do anything with something called "recovery" or was that already accomplished when i unlocked the bootloader/ s-offe'd my device/ hbooted the whatever? I used to have an atrix and there was something called clockwork mod recovery or something that allowed us to get into a menu after boot if needed, but for the amaze there is already a menu there. Thanks and a +1 to all the helpful posts you guys had after I get a clear image of what to do after supercid.

Download the hboot from the telus how-to.. Then rename it to what he says ph85img.... You can flash that through the bootloader.. Which recovery did you use? It says to back up your apn address first though.

Thanks for the help! my last question pertains to the instructions for downloading ICS recoveries:
1) Be Locked with S-Off using JuopunutBear's S-Off method.
2) Flash the ENG Hboot 1.90.2005
3) With S-off and the ENG Hboot, rename the RUU to PH85IMG.zip and put on root of external SD card
4) Boot into bootloader and apply the update
5) Once updated, reflash the ENG Hboot again
6) Flash the CWM 5.5.0.4 recovery in fastboot (fastboot flash recovery *****.img)
7) Flash the Superuser package in recovery to gain root
For step 6 and 7, once I have root access, how do I completly delete/remove CWM 5.5.04, so that I can install a different recovery instead and still have root?:

You can sub cwm with twerp from the amaze all in one tool. But when you are rooted, you can install any recovery software. Any rom for the amaze.. Any kernel for the amaze. Benefit of root, s-off, and eng hboot.
You are done! Did ics boot already?
4ext app will override whatever recovery software you have installed.

Yep just rename it. However, make SURE it's the right Hboot.
Other than that, just rename it to hboot.img and you should be golden.

When you mean the right one you mean GB or ICS right? You may find this funny but im getting the phone in about 1hr.
Whenever I get a new android phone I like to research all the procedures and possible issues and download all the needed files prior to getting it.

You should worry about S-OFF first before you actually worry about supercid. Also, if you do S-OFF and you choose to install the j-bear modified hboot, it installs the .2222 hboot so you really don't need to flash an hboot, because it does that already. But still, do check before you actually attempt supercid

Once you s-off, shp hboot should be your default.
So I have the virgin mobile 3d and I am rooted with s-on. I've been trying to get it off tho. So I was following the quick and dirty thread. And so I relocked the boot loader and then I started up the RUU like the guide. And about halfway through the installation it gave me boot loader version error 140. So I looked it up and I think it means that I was trying to downgrade. And that's why it didn't work. I was supposedly going from 1.14 down to 1.13. These are the version The ruu gave. I'm not sure what the numbers were about but can someone help? That ruu was supposed to be the most updated one. And i have been searching like crazy. Any help would be appreciated. I understand these things, so don't be afraid to talk techy to me lmfao. Thanks

And so I relocked the boot loader and then I started up the RUU like the guide. And about halfway through the installation it gave me boot loader version error 140. So I looked it up and I think it means that I was trying to downgrade. And that's why it didn't work. I was supposedly going from 1.14 down to 1.13. These are the version The ruu gave. I'm not sure what the numbers were about but can someone help? That ruu was supposed to be the most updated one. And i have been searching like crazy. Any help would be appreciated. I understand these things, so don't be afraid to talk techy to me lmfao. Thanks

See the note for S-ON users in this post, which is also linked in the informational posts after Step3 of the guide. The reason you are having this problem is because you have already installed the OTA, which has a higher main version (mainver) than the VM RUU.

Good.
Don't forget to download and flash the OTA again after the RUU is flashed since it requires the stock recovery.

So it worked!! I finally got s-off!!! Now one last thing, how do i go about downgrading the hboot. I plan on going SlimBean. I tried flashing the sprint 1.5 hboot but it failed. The error said that the custom ID failed. . Is there any way to downgrade?

I have tried this. And a side note* when I boot into the boot loader it doesn't look for PG86IMG.zip it looks for PG86DIAG.zip. its really weird. Anyone know what this is? I tried renaming it to that but it doesn't do anything. It just reboots the boot loader. I have also tried flashing it through fastboot

The PG86DIAG.zip file is an advanced diagnostic that is very tightly controlled by HTC, but the bootloader always looks for it anyway.
The filename for the zip doesn't matter when you use the fastboot flashing method. Can you paste the messages you are getting here starting with the "fastboot erase cache" command? Make sure you delete the PG86IMG.zip file from the root of the SD card before trying the fastboot method.

OK sweet that it good to know. I tried both methods and it didn't work. But when I used the fast boot method I got a custom I'd check failed error. I'm not by the phone right now. But I remember the error. That's the only one I got. When I tried downgrading from 1.57jboot to 1.5

If you are on hboot 1.57 then you probably have the Evo V 4G which means you need to use the Virgin Mobile version of the RUU.

So you're saying I should extract the PG86IMG.zip from an older VM ruu? And then place in the root of my sdcard? That would give me the stock boot loader :-/. I already got s-off with jbear hboot 1.7
I'm trying to dual boot eventually so I want to be on hboot 1.5
Edit: one thing I haven't tried is leaving it named PG86IMG.zip and placing it on the SD card. But using 1.5 is that safe to try?. I'm thinking it will work because it is a sprint phone. It has sprint branding. It is just on VM. Let me know what you think

Follow the instructions in this post since you are S-OFF already. I recommend the JBear 1.50.5050 instead on the 1.50 hboot since that doesn't need to be unlocked to run extended fastboot commands.
