Please Help
I used the HTC unlock method, had a custom Rom, went to install an ICS Rom got a bootloop.
Decided to downgrade to HBOOT 1.4. I followed the guide here at XDA http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1563342
Until I got to the part where I am supposed to brick it. I have downloaded the 2.17 RUU.zip renamed it to PG86IMG.zip checked to make sure the file name is correct, once i copied to the phone and loaded my phone in bootloader it would just check the PG86IMG.zip and do nothing , it DOES NOT ask me to update. Ss this because when I reboot into android it says..
in Settings, ABOUT PHONE it says I have Software number 2.17.651.5
other info on my phone is:
Android 2.3.4
Sense 3.0
Software Number 2.17.651.5
in the bootloader my phone says
Relocked

Somewhere in the process I downloaded the 2.17 RUU in exe format and ran it from windows. at that point I didn't have a working ROM since I had tried the ICS ROM and bootlooped.
What can I do from here I'm stuck any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

And you should have down graded to 1.49.007 or 1.49.008 did you down grade to any one of these if you didn't then you would have to down grade to anyone of hboot numbers above

When you follow a Guide, you should follow it thoroughly. Do not skip any step buddy.
I can see you are still on latest radio and 2.17 ROM with hboot 1.4. Why didnt you followed the last few things of the 2nd step?
You should run 1.13 RUU exe before running revolutionary. After that you will be on the old 1.13 ROM and the old radios and baseband with hboot 1.4. Then
Turn On USB debugging from settings > Applications > development.
and run revolutionary and you will be good to go.
You can then again upgrade to 2.17 with latest radio by keeping hboot 1.4 and S-OFF by flashing this from bootloader (rename it PG86IMG.zip first) --> http://db.tt/F6iivHSC
That zip will upgrade everything including firmware,radio,baseband (software version will be 1.13 though) after flashing that you can restore your 2.17 nandroid or can flash any 2.17 ROM without changing hboot and S-OFF flag.
NOTE: Do not use 2.17 RUU or your hboot will be upgraded to 1.5 again. S-OFF will still be there.
1.5 isn't a big deal. As long as you have s off it stays til you change the secure flag. You can still flash roms. Etc

thank you i guess i did miss some steps, its been a long day with school, kids, and work i will retry again and ensure i follow all steps.

Do not retry all those steps, you should just use the 1.13 RUU EXE now, then revolutionary IMO , just check again what steps you've missed.......
thank you for your advice it worked i guess i was just so excited about getting 1.4 without totally truly bricking my phone i over looked the rest of the steps... i am now 1.4 with S-off. Thank you everybody for your input.
I unlocked with HTCdev, installed AmonRa 3.15 recovery, flashed superuser through recovery, than S-offed with Jbear.
My bootloader showed unlocked until I s-offed. The last step of Jbear asked me if I wanted to install the Jbear modified hboot, however I took too long to answer, and it kicked me out. I am showing s-off, but locked.
Here is what my bootloader shows:

Whats my next step here? Do I need to load Jbear Hboot from unlimited.io for GB? I'm still on the latest GB OTA for the Rez.
Im going to run the ICS RUU to get the complete leak with radios, fireware and everything. So I will than need Jbear Hboot for ICS?
no, you dont need the Jbear Hboot

S-Off locked is the normal state after doing S-off. Be sure not to unlock your phone -- you will not be able to get back to "LOCKED" without doing S-Off again. You can either ICS RUU, then install the Jbear Hboot (be sure to use the right firmware version), or ICS RUU, then flash your recovery of choice via PH98IMG.zip. The first option gives you the normal fastboot commands. The second gives you a custom recovery with a stock Hboot.
Edit: Here's a post with the AR 3.15 in flashable zip format: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26261862&postcount=746
Just rename to PH98IMG.zip, put on the root of your SD card, and flash in bootloader.
Sweet, I hit S-off on my first shot. all while having sweaty hands, and checking my bank account to make sure I could afford a new phone.
It was far easier than I had expected.
Hi!
I am having one hell of a time installing the new 4.0.3 Android (Ice Cream Sandwich) update. Everything was going smoothly, downloaded update, atempted to install, but then it got stuck on the HTC logo loading screen when I first boot the phone.
In this link some one says to install a boot image with this name PG86IMG. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1768289
I have tried the method, but i cannot lock my phone (1) and cannot update the phone by using the PG86IMG(2) boot image.
(1) - My hboot dont say nothing about locked or unlocked, it only says
" SHOOTER_U XB SHIP S-OFF RH
HBOOT-1.47.000
Radio-11.25.3504.06_M
OpenDSP-v02.6.0.2226.00.0202
eMMC-boot
Hboot
<vol up>...
...etc
"
It has no "locked" or "unlocked" information, is this normal?
(2)- I install the PG86IMG zip file on the sd card , power button + down vol, and starts the hboot , it reads the PG86IMG zip file and it closes the saying "Wrong ID model"... my evo is the gsm.
If the problem is a damaged internal memory, is there any way to repair it?
Thank you!
Do you have the GSM PG86IMG.zip?
I'm gonna guess you were rooted prior to doing the update?
If you do the official ICS update from HTC while your device is rooted and unlocked, you're asking for trouble..

I think you have to relock the bootloader to be able to install the OTA and rename the OTA to PH85IMG, I did that but my phone still doesn't ask me to install the update after checking the image...

Hi! I have performed that update, and you must be s-off. Just follow noob-proof s-off tool steps, and you'll be able to update the 1.46 videotron update. As soon as you are s-off, just boot your device in normal mode, connect via usb to your pc, and double click on the update...it's all going by itself.
Good luck!
P.S. where did you get your hboot?? I try to run speed rom 7, but always get a message error after booting.
thank you

Hi guys,
Bought a Evo 3D second hand... GSM version.
Got it home, had a custom stock rom on it and had Revolutionary Recovery on it.
I flashed a MIUI rom to it and have been using that fine for a few months, now i have come to install a different rom and it installs fine but won't boot. It either stays on the bootscreen forever or just reboot cycles the phone.
Now the bootloader is unlocked but it doesn't have S-OFF.
I think i need to S-OFF to flash the roms correctly.
Here's whats on it:
Rom: MIUI v2.10.26
Baseband: 11.77.3504.00U_11.25.3504.06_M
HBOOT: 1.53.0007
Recovery: 4EXT recovery

Lock your bootloader with the "fastboot oem lock" command and run the RUU again.

EDIT: Now says relocked in HBOOT gonna flash RUU
Flashed the stock RUU, now i'm trying to unlock the bootloader again via HTCDev.com and when i copy the Identifier Token it says its too short. I am pretty sure i'm copying it correctly
solved... There were spaces in the box
So i am now S-OFF, i need to downgrade my HBOOT still...
How do i do that?
Right, managed to downgrade the HBOOT but still, when i flash AOKP it stays on the splashscreen forever....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1906172
use this hboot. and wipe everything(data and cache) before flashing aokp
