Sorry about not being very experienced with the way HTC works.
How can i downgrade the 1.58 hboot if i'm already S-off?
thanks!
Since you are s-off, you just need to download the hboot you want, rename it to PG86IMG.zip, and place it on the root of your sd card. Boot into bootloader and "update" to the older hboot. Remove the zip from the sd card and you'll be good to go.

All you need is the ZIP file with the Hboot version that you want. Rename that zip filename to PG86IMG.zip. Here is a quote i posted earlier.

I am no Dev. For anyone who wants to downgrade the BootLoader i believe you can use this ZIP. Rename the file to PG86IMG.zip, Place it on the SD, boot to boot loader. When rebooting the phone, adb reboot recovery, mount sd and delete file. Only change boot loader to 1.40.Thanks.

The easiest way is to flash a PG86IMG of an older hboot through hboot.
Beware... If you're on hboot 1.58 and you switch to a lower hboot, you're phone might not boot up unless you change roms.
Which do you want, Hboot 1.4 or 1.5?

I have an Evo 3d with HBOOT 1.5 and S-OFF. I want to get to 1.4 S-OFF but I can't find how I can set S-OFF back to S-ON, so I can proceed with the downgrade instructions located here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1547695
Search and google are not helping too much as there is too much noise talking about getting to s-off and not trying to get to s-on.
Can you please point me toward a solution to change from HBOOT 1.5 S-OFF to HBOOT 1.5 S-ON?
Thank you.

You can brick your device!
Forgive my ignorance, but if you are s-off, why would you want to do this? I thought 1.5 s-off was just as good as1.4 s-off.
Sent from my PG86100
When set at 1.5 you cant change the splash screen or radio. or other settings.
Also Bricking it is what I need to do to convert it to 1.4 BUT I cant to that until I have S-ON. Correct?
You are s-off so no need to brick, just download this copy it to sd card and flash via bootloader.
Also I could be mistaken, but I believe hboot 1.5 is perfectly ok as long as you are S-off, I am pretty sure you can flash whatever you want.
BTW the download link is taken from OP in this thread, you might want to read through it.

^Exactly this. If you read the first post of that thread (especially the gigantic red letters and what is under that), it will tell you to NOT brick an S-off phone as it will permanently brick it. You just need to flash the 1.4 bootloader.

i had the same problem as OP. i think the issue with 1.5 is even though its s-off, the bootloader is still locked and therefore a recovery cant be flashed and root cant be gained.
Ive been looking for the standalone hboot 1.4 ruu so i didnt have to do what op originally suggested
You have all of my thanks

Ya I didn't even think about revolutionary only working with 1.4 or below that must be the problem. You are welcome for the help, I just figured most of this out about a week ago when I had to do the downgrade after unlocking with htc method.
I would fastboot oem lock then do HTC's unlock again.

If you are S-OFF you can flash any bootloader you want...no need to go back to S-on....I found a few bootloader versions on here and flashed them back and forth when trying different roms.....once your S-OFF you should never return...lol
I was thinking of taking it to Sprint for a replacement cuz of 4G not working, but then I thought, WHEN ON EARTH do I use 4G??? LOL It's always off...
Ok I am S-off 1.40 H-boot
I want to know is there a way to go to 1.58 H-boot without being stuck there and to be able to go back to 1.40 revolutionary if I so choosed?
I dont the feeling of being locked into something if you know what I mean!
Since you are s-off, you can switch hboot at will. It will say locked, but s-off trumps locked.

I personally flashed firmware and radios without the 1.58 hboot from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1673377
The only reason to go to the 1.58 hboot is if you want to run the new stock ICS kernel. If you do upgrade it, you lose the ability to flash GB and AOSP based ROMs. Too big of a trade off for me, so I stayed with 1.4.
Having said that (and to answer your question), you do not have to unlock with HTCdev and you do not have to redo revolutionary to go back to 1.4. Since you are s-off, you just have to flash the hboot you wish to flash using the corresponding PG86IMG.zip

Yes I obviously did because I am still confused on the whole process!
let me know If I understand this right!
If I just use the 1.58 hboot update I dont need to use htc dev unlock to flash rom and kernel's?
If I dont care for the 1.58 hboot I can just flash 1.40 hboot back with no extra steps like revolutionary.
I just want to make sure I am fully educated before I do something stupid!
My lesson was learned from the Virgin crap! lol

For future reference for anyone who reads this thread, hboots are always flashed through the bootloader by placing the zip on the root of the SD card and naming the file PG86IMG.zip (capitalized like that). They are never flashed through recovery.
I'm on jbear hboot 1.5 if I flash 1.4 will I be able to flash whatever Rom I want?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
i believe hboot 1.4 allows you to flash any ROM except the ones with the new kernel. Your gonna need hboot 1.58 for those.
Where's the 1.40 HBOOT on that page? Is it the one where it's referred to as "ENG Hboot" with this download info:

Are you putting the pg file in the root of your sdcard or in a separate file folder?
( Don't ask me for help as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh! )
yes i put it in root. how big is the rigt pg file. i have one with about 324kb and one with about 300mb

That one with about 384 kB. Then, turn off your phone, turn it on in bootloader (volume down + power on). Wait a little and it will ask you to update. Press volume up, and wait. After that you have to delete that PG file from sd card. (that pg 300 MB has a rom on it..thats why it is so big)

If you can boot into your ROM then just check whether your phone is recognizing data on your sdcard. Sometimes after the wire trick sdcards tend to flip out. Your pc might be detecting it fine but the phone might not. Just humor me and try playing a song or something from the card just to rule out this possibility

What about cid for pg file? i have htc_102. i tried fastboot oem writecid 1111111 and htc_01 but nothing changed.
Cid shouldn't be a problem with the zip from that thread. Try running an RUU and then downgrading hboot

If you are still having issues let me know. I have recently had the same problem as yourself.
With hboot 1.53 you can only run ICS ROMs but if you are not able to run ICS either I would use a 4EXT recovery then enable smart flash (I know this should only matter when s-on is worth a go) Also use fastboot to flash the boot.img from what ever ROM you have chosen just incase it's an issue with that.
PG86img.zip files are CID specific and need to be for your location and carrier (from my understanding) unless you have a super CID which is 11111111 (denoting a factory unlocked device, but don't quote me)
I too have a 1.53.0007 hboot and also am having trouble finding a solution to hboot changes once you are s-off with that hboot. How I got that hboot after gaining s-off is beyond me but it seems I am not alone and if that hboot can be put in it HAS to be able to change it. The easiest way that I can think of is to gain s-on (I haven't looked hard enough for that yet though) then to s-off again and make the hboot update that way.
by the way (now I can't find it's exact meaning and am choked) I was really surprised that the beer reference had more than just a catchy ring to it. Engineering something or other, I shoulda wrote it down

Cool I flashed them both and the version didn't change. Oddly enough my phone wouldn't boot on the ENG hboot and as soon as I flashed the stock one it booted right up.

So if im on the SHIP version of the pre-ota HBOOT and i'm s-off and unlocked is it safe to flash the OTA hboot? what would my steps be and what would the end result be. Would i still be unlocked and s-off?

The 2.04 and 1.15 hboot are the same you can if you want to... ive done it w/o any problems you wont lose s-off or unlocked but you arent going to gain anything either
download the 2.04 hboot place it where you would for any adb/fastboot command
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Code:
fastboot flash zip PL83IMG.zip
when the terminal says its done wait a few seconds (the green bar wont fill up 100% so dont worry it will stick at about 3/4 the way)
Code:
fastboot oem boot
My goal is to have the tampered Flag removed. Thats why I was wondering if i could Flash ship Over other ship and remove it.

The only way to get tampered removed as of today is to flash the ENG hboot unless someone (regaw) makes a stock hboot plugin for his bootloader customizer
Flashing to ENG and then back to Ship wouldnt remove it?

sorry for newb question. Not new to android but new to htc. So its my understanding to revert from engineering hboot. I would download stock hboot then rename it to pl83img.zip then,
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip PL83IMG.zip
fastboot oem boot Is this correct? TIA
