I've been away for a while... Development was slow. Now I see we have leaked ics. Can someone give me a dummy's instruction for s-on users? All the current instructions are written for people who have been watching like a hawk... Ive been gone for quite a while. Just want the ics leak.

The instructions are posted several times in the ICS Rom release thread.
Download it
Rename to ph85img.zip
copy to SD card
reboot to bootloader
flash away

Don't forget your bootloader has to be Eng HBoot and relocked.

Also... Wrong.
The op states he is s-on. This means he doesn't have the ability to change boot loaders. Also, it is not required to be on ENG hboot to flash. So technically doesn't matter either way as the option for him doesn't exist.
Please follow the instructions in post 2 of this thread. They are correct. And welcome back!

Alright, so I have the White(Radioshack only) HTC Evo 3D.
I've tried everything that's out there to root/unlock/downgrade 1.5 -> 1.4
Nothing is working, so my biggest question is <insert title name here>.
I don't mean to be a huge NOOB. But seriously, is it different? I can't manage to do..well..anything at this point, I absolutely LOATHE the stock rom on here, and can't find any way to get away from it.
Any help would be lovely!
PS: I would have posted in development, and just asked for help rooting my phone here, but I can't as I'm a newbie on these forums.

You most likely have to download the full 2.17 RUU so that it will "upgrade" your phone before you can "downgrade" it.

Ok I found it on football dev section but this will require you to dowload the ruu which contain the hboot 1.4 now you will at need your bootloader unlocked to do this or do you have that done already ? So I present to you the ruu that will downgrade your hboot to 1.4 don't download this to EVO you have to download it to your pc or laptop and put the EVO in bootloader and then connect the USB cable and press power to turn on your fastboot next on your pc or laptop execute the program and it will run I've done this on my EVO and let me tell you the program is slow butt it works so here you go http://www.filefactory.com/file/c19...216_NV_NV_spcs_1.42_release_233304_signed.exe

Alright, I'm running it now, and I'm at a black "HTC" screen and the program ran into an error: (Error 171, USB connection error).
Edit: Yup, it's not flashing.
Did u enable usb debugging in android's settings?
Overall I'm confused about a few things.
What is your detailed hw & sw versions:
- hboot:
- locked/unlocked:
- s-on/s-off:
- Fw: 2.17.651.5 etc?
- Radio:
What do u actually want... HTC Unlock or hboot downgrade with s-off?
U said u tried everything, but didn't link any threads or files that u used, so we can't be sure what u actually did.
(havent seen u post in any of the xda threads u should be following. I coulda missed it. U did say ur post count was low).
U didn't indicate if u read the hboot 1.50 guide in my signature.

I was just trying to unlock the bootloader and install a custom rom.
I eventually figured it out, but not anything that I tried worked, and then it did by just trying over and again. Not sure what else to really say.
I was hboot 1.5 locked s-on and everything was stock. No "cracks" would work, until I "brute forced it."
Instead of posting a new thread, I edited this one instead
So here's another theory of mine, the OTA files check cid correct? this is located in the build.prop file? Any others this can be found in that it checks for it?
Dark Nightmare said:
So here's my idea, well first of all I wanna know what changes other than system files, kernel and recovery when you upgrade from gb to ics? Is the Hboot the only other major change?
Since hboots can be upgraded via hboot using a PH85IMG, can we pull the hboot image or possible use the newer shp image we have, upgrade the hboots of mobilicity users maybe their kernels and recoveries as well, though those can be flashes via recovery, yeah, so back to the point here, can we pull the new Hboot from someone on ics or use the one we have, upgrade the s-on gb users hboot then have them flash the system files to manually update to ics? I'm gonna test the theory but since I'm s-off, my results may differ, that's why I need your opinions before we do a test of it.

You can't push the radio without S-OFF, the radio is just as important as the hboot. The only way to flash the radio while S-ON is to flash the entire Update.zip through hboot screen. And if you are not on T-Mobile you need to be S OFF

This isn't for a radio bro, though that makes me wonder why we can't do certain things on the amaze.
This is gonna be a cwm flashable of a telus stock with the mobilicity build.prop so users that are s-on stuck on GB due to them flashing a stock rom and not having a backup or it just not working for them to be able to flash my zip, restore the stock recovery and update with the OTA.
I would be so happy if this works .

Got pass the cid check using the swapped build.prop file, ran into a system's patch error when it checked another app, pm sent to my app provider....
It's not really a smart move to change the CiD without knowing how the radio is for that carrier. And flashing a RUU from another carrier is possible if it's not changing things like hboots
That is some progress
I'm looking at returning my phone to exchange it for a different one. I have already rooted and unlocked the phone.

The Android development section is only for devs to post Roms and mods specific to their device, and for users to comment and thank those devs. Q&A is for all questions, whether or not they have to do with "low level work"

Sorry no one answered your question and just posted about where you posted but here you go.
Download this filehttp://www.filefactory.com/f/b6eb73c80cc97030/ and make sure you have adb debugging on and start the file. I am not sure if it relocks the device bootloader though. Do not unplug it until it is done. Here is a decent looking video walk through of it. WATCH IT FIRST at least http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wYVB9mq8Ws
You have to relock the bootloader, then run the ruu. Did you unlock via HTCdev or LazyPanda? If you did it via HTCdev your bootloader will say RELOCKED but everything else will be stock....

I'm not sure but as of now the LazyPanda project has been suspended until they work out all the kinks. You could try when they get it back up and running but either way if your trying to get it back to stock to return it, relocking the bootloader and running the stock ruu should be enough.

I am trying to do the same thing (relock and go back to stock) so I can exchange the phone. I am on flex360's Stock plus Goodies v1.5 and when I relocked the bootloader, the phone got stuck on the bootloader screen (showed relocked) and wouldn't reboot. I had to unlock via adb to get the phone to reboot. Any idea why it got stuck on bootloader after the relock? Do you think I need to be on a stock rom to relock, and if so, how can I flash the stock rom? Like a bonehead, in my excitement to get a custom rom installed I forgot to create a backup.
I flashed twrp through Rom toolbox and I have 2 roms on the root of my sd card but when I try and flash them it says failed I have nocturnals venom Rom and the frozen Rom both for the EVO 3d I am familiar with flashing roms I have flashed them for the EVO 4g millions of times I am on hboot 1.58 and I am s-on I don't know if that matters but plz help how do I get them to flash any help and any links to what I need to do will be greatly appreciated thanks...

Hi.
I just got a new test device, HTC Legend (Europe version) which currently have the newest 3.15.405.3 RUU installed with hboot 1.01
I have been to htvdev.com and downloaded an hboot update in order to be able to unlock the boot loader. However, when I run their RUU, it says that my current ROM is not supported, although the RUU contains the same ROM version as the one that I have installed.
I need some way to unlock this thing, even if I have to some how downgrade hboot in order to get full S-Off using some of the old cracks.
Can anyone help get this thing cracked open, either the htcdev way or some other way. I just need to be able to get a recovery on this thing and some CM ROM.
I have already tried talking to some HTC support people, but they did not know anything.

I am aware of the rules (Have been around for some time). Properly just clicked on the wrong link, no harm ment, but since you was kind enough to report it, an admin can move it to the correct location.
Yes, I can see you've been around for a long time,
So, lets direct you try blay0's method by extracting the Rom.zip from the ruu and try the LEGEIMG.ZIP
There is a thread in legend some where with the title simular to "legend is free" you should find blay0's post some where, can't post a link right now, sorry...

Thanks I found it, but not working on this one. It does not find LEGEIMG.zip although it is placed in the root of the sdcard
EDIT:
It worked after I created a Goldcard. Now it found the ZIP, it asked to update which it did successfully and the htcdev.com unlock method now worked like a charm. Just to bad that there is no way to downgrade hboot to 0.43 in order to gain real S-Off, but at least it is unlocked now, so thanks
