I unlocked with htc dev unlock, rooted by flashing 4Ext and now i want to get back to 100% stock im on hboot 1.58 and 2.89 (pretty sure, whatever newest is)
You need to lock the bootloader and then run the 2.89 ruu. That will put you back to 100% locked stock.
I searched for 3hrs and couldn't find 2.89 ruu

Hey guys
I have GSM UK version which had 1.20.xx stock rom and 1.49.0007 hboot. My phone was rooted and s-off using revolutionary. I updated my phone to get locale language to 1.24.xx
so does the hboot, its now 1.49.0012. My phone is still s-off but its locked.
What do you recommend guys? use HTC method but it may s-on, or flash stock RUU but im not sure if it will downgrade hboot. I only need root atm and maybe later when kernel sources get fixed I need CWM recovery.
Any help would be appreciated.

HTC Unlock method not related to S-Off or S-On. It only relates to top line : LOCKED, UNLOCKED or RELOCKED >>> I think you can safely unlock the HTCdev without fear of loss of S-Off
Thanx m8.
Now, do u think if I flash stock UK rom will I get my old hboot back??
WOOOOPY!!! flashed stock RUU and got my old hboot 0007
We envy you Scorbion! - got an asian device here HBOOT 1.49.0011 there's no way to get S-OFF atm..
hello all
my phone is bugging out and some one suggested to flash the latest RUU.
- quick question.
---if i flash the latest RUU will i loose root?
Yes you will lose root.
thank you.
Quick question ............
-how can i flash a RUU that has the Hboot of 1.4 instead of a 1.5.
(can some one please help me my phone randomly reboots on any rom, i was recommended to flash a RUU and then unlock again)
If your current HBoot is 1.50 with S-ON you can't downgrade the Hboot, at all. You won't be able to flash a lower Firmware/baseband than what's currently installed either, but you can reflash the RUU for what's installed or a newer one.
If you have HTC Unlocked HBoot 1.50 and S-ON, you can get more info that may help you in the Guide/Flashing notes in my signature.
Edit: Saw your question in the other section that you have Hboot 1.40. Disregard
I seem to have developed a habit of asking here alot (the evo 3d isnt really my phone i have a Sensation, just doing a favor)
I've re-locked the phone, installed 2.17 (from 2.08) and im wondering if there are other methods of unlocking with Hboot 1.5 S-On (says RELOCKED on recovery) other than having to do the whole HTC Unlock method again?
I wanted to try MeanROM so i pretty much re-locked, upgraded to 2.17 and now i have to reroot just for this ROM (and also got a new radio...)
If not, do i just have to follow the HTC unlock method all over again from Scratch? The process is identical even if i have relocked it?
So I bought a phone from a guy on Craigslist, while it works fine, there's something weird here. What I want to do is have it S-OFF, but here's whats up:
Bootloader is HBOOT 2.21.0000. It says ***UNLOCKED*** but also it says ***TAMPERED***. Also it says VIGOR PVT SHIP S-ON RL.
Everything seems to be working fine; it currently has CleanROM 4.3 on it. I'm afraid to start doing anything until I know where to start. I *THINK* what I need to do is the following:
1. fastboot oem lock the bootloader
2. Flash latest ICS leak RUU twice.
3. Follow the Juopounut guide for S-OFF using the 2.21.0000 modified HBOOT
Does this sound right? Thanks for your help!
If its already unlocked, stay unlocked. Relocking it is going backwards toward s-off. Once s-off you will have a locked bootloader. I did not install the jbear modified hboot. I installed Amon ra as a ph img after s-off and ics ruu
You should just follow the jbear s-off instructions since you already have unlock
S-off prior to ics is my preferred method, if something goes wrong with the ruu, you're stuck.
Also, no need to unlock once you have s-off
I got it. I wanted to go back to the newest leak and then proceed. I flashed the latest leak RUU and then re-unlocked.
The ***TAMPERED*** appears once I flashed the amon-ra recovery. Guess thats normal on the ICS builds...
Mine does not show tampered. I am s-off, locked, ics 3.14 firmware with ruu hboot, amon ra recovery, running newts one xxx

Yep mine doesn't either. I'm just guessing but I think it might only been the 3.11.605.22 leak that did that.

Mine doesn't show it now that its truly S-OFF. Thanks all!
I have had this phone for 9 months in this state.. i had Negalite Blue 1.09 installed. it messed up and started to bootloop. so i did my normal fix. SetMainVerLOW and flashed the stock 2.89 RUU. but this time rather than fix my problem, it has stayed with a bootloop. i searched high and low, and ANY fix i found involved getting S-OFF. unfortunately i CAN'T because i cannot boot. I relocked, then unlocked. i tried CWM, 4EXT, TWRP recoveries. tried stock rooted ROM, MeanROM, negalite, and nothing... EVERYTHING bootloops.. I DON'T want to get rid of the phone as it is the best i have been able to afford, but i am afraid that it may not have any fix..:crying: PLEASE tell me,HOW CAN I FIX THIS???.... Again, currently Relocked, S-ON, HBOOT 1.58 and freshly flashed 2.89 RUU.
Use Ultimate recovey tool, downgrade hoot to 1.4, install ruu 1.13. Then s-off with revolutionary. Then install ruu 2.89 when s-off
