I do everything that it says to do but at the end once I press volume up nothing happens, the option to unlock my bootloader doesnt pop up, help?
I never was able to get that to work for me.
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.
I will check it out thank you sir.

All you need is the RUU 2.17 from footballs post in the dev section... Run it in fastboot connected to your computer... After it is done let the phone boot and then go back to hboot and redo the unlock code it will work Helped 15 people thru this be4

Yes go into hboot and select fastboot with your phone connected to your pc.. Now run the Ruu.. I have done this in the past a butt load of times Will work fine man.. Even tho you are already 2.17
Whatever you do DO NOT TAKE THE USB CORD OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FLASH>..
That will cause a brick ..................
Do you have a link to the RUU that you downloaded ? Did you get it from footballs post?

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.

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....

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?

Sorry in advance if this had been covered before but there are so many different threads everywhere i don't know where to start.

OKAY [ 0.152s]
writing 'unlocktoken'...

it appears that everything goes through but then nothing happens? my phone just stays in the same hboot screen. What am i doing wrong? thanks in advance and sorry again if this has been covered but i'm somewhat noob to rooting and am still trying to figure all of this out.....

Put your phone on fasboot usb .
Run RUU.EXE
And your set. It will take about 10 min to complete.
Realize that if you remove your USB while its updating your phone might end up bricked so be careful to not get it unplugged.

Right on thanks guys i finally got around to doing all this and it worked. One last question....Any advice on a particular ROM to flash? I was looking at the Nocturnal Adrenaline E3D 1.0.2 ODEX?? what do you guys think? Thanks again for all the help...
I'm currently running MeanRom 3.92. It's really good. Lots of features & easily over clockable on included ziggy kernel or Anthrax Rls8 Final. Also includes other options that get loaded onto sdcard for flashing.
I flashed leedroid Tweaks, & anthrax, clocked to 1.728Ghz. Stable, fast, quadrant average about 4k.
All up to your preference really, but some consider it a good idea to stick with 2.17 based roms if that's the radio base you have.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
Ok cool,and i can just flash that using the fastboot method right? What about the kernel? Do I need to flash that seperately or does it all go in with the rom?

it works the same as any other recovery, but when you choose the zip to install, a menu will pop up asking you what to do prior to the flash, that is where you do all your wiping...enjoy

The only difference is you have to flash the boot.img file either before or after you flash the zip, and you have to do that via the gui program in apps or whatever, or via fastboot.

I was having the same issue, I am on Hboot 1.5 S-On and you def. need to fastboot your boot.img. Follow the directions given, and if your phone is not picking up while connected thru USB, you might need to install drivers to your computer.
