I downgraded hboot from 1.50 to 1.40 successful but my bootloader doesn't say locked or unlocked. And it won't let me down grade my software from 2.17 to 1.13, anybody have any thoughts?

You need to run the 1.13 RUU
Closeone has a full step by step in his downgrade tool thread that will help, & u can reference exactly where ur stuck.

I was on hboot 1.50 unlocked with s-off. I got a new sd card yesterday and loaded the 1.40 ruu on to it and now I'm just 1.40 with s-off. No more pink banner and I still can flash anything. Pretty sweet...guess I have a weird phone.

Dude I just asked this in another thread a minute ago. lol
I am in the same boat. I rooted with Revolutionary and was S-off on 1.40. I accidentlaly flashed a radio/firmware update that pushed me to hboot 1.50 S-off with a Pink Locked banner.
I really want to get back to 1.40.
Can you link me to what you flashed or did?
Just put the p86img.zip containing hboot 1.40 on root of sd-card and go into bootloader. It will auto-detect it and tell you to press vol. up to flash it. It's not a 'weird' phone, it's having the security flag off .
Lol I downloaded the 1.40 ruu file,renamed it to PG86IMG.Zip,put it on a different sd card,put the new sd card in my phone and ran it when it was done my phone didn't have the pink banner anymore and it didn't say 1.50 now I'm back to good old 1.40 s-off and no pink banner

Where do I find just the Hboot? I saw Haus's thread with Engineering hboot. There was a 1.4 and 1.04 version I think? Do I just grab the 1.4 version?
I am 1.50 S-Off and it says Locked.
*Edit* LINK REMOVED: I don't wanna confuse people. You must have had S-off with revolutionary first, in order to roll back off hboot 1.50
Yeah just grab the 1.40 file,download it and rename it to PG86IMG.ZIP,then go into recovery and you know the rest lol...yeah not the mirror one

If I'm reading the post done here... I think it means if you had 1.40 hboot before and used the s-off method but by mistake upgraded your hboot. You can then downgrade your hboot, I'm not so sure though! Give a try and let us know.

No, you need S-OFF to flash HBOOT 1.40 over HBOOT 1.50. The HTC Unlocked HBOOT allows you to flash a custom recovery and ROMs, but not overwrite HBOOT.
can we flash hboot 1.40 from fastboot ('adb reboot bootloader' from pc)
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.
Has anyone achieved this? I think I just did accidentally.
Right now I'm in a custom recovery (teamwin) with 1.50 Hboot S-OFF.
Well, you can still get full root with Hboot 1.50 even through HTCDev method.
What you can't get is S-Off. You can still be on HBOOT 1.50 with S-Off if you updated to HBOOT 1.50 from 1.40 while you were S-Off.
Even then, there's still a downgrade for HBOOT 1.50 users.
What you probably did was updated from hboot 1.30 or 1.40 with s-off to 1.50 and kept the S-Off like you should have.

You either had s-off to begin with, oryou had s-off to begin with. You're good to go, no need to downgrade the bootloader unless you want eng hboot. 1.5 means nothing, s-on is the problem. But you're s-off.
My original 1.30 hboot that i had died and sprint gave me a new one of course it had 1.50 and 2.17 on it. So i downgraded the hboot 1.40 and now stuck at security warning. Im assuming its because the wrong software is detected for the 1.40 and its throwing a fit. anyone have a link to the one i can flash now either via PG86IMG or ruu.exe to make it where all i need to do now is then run revolutionary?
You need to flash the old ruu which I suppose is the 1.13 , and then run Revolutionary

Is it possible with hboot 1.19 s-on running MeanBean? If so what method? I tried dirty racun and it failed on the on the step fastboot oem rebootRUU and black screen with HTC. Then wouldn't flash RUU. t/u
Ruu when in bootloader. Then unlock and then run racun.

Last weekend I relocked my phone then ran the RUU and took the OTA then unlocked and rooted again. I couldn't get Racun to work for me either.

I will most likely try the unroot method since I have tried the racun and was stuck with a phone not working for a while.
What RUU

The RUU to use depends on your hboot, for example, if youre on hboot 1.15 use RUU 1.22.651.3 - HBOOT 1.15
for hboot 1.19 use RUU 2.13.651.1 - HBOOT 1.19
The best guide to follow is the unlimited guide from their site, they will acutally support your efforts live! I used this method and I was able to gain s-off, unlock my bootloader and root; here's the link (it contains eveything you need including the RUU):

That is the one I was using and failed on step 8 second command went to black screen with HTC in center and nothing after that. Then failed to load the RUU. I am on HBOOT 1.19. I will look at it again tonight and might give it a try again.
