I origanally rooted using the hboot downgrade method to 1.4. I am running Common Sense Rom with Cools kernel and I have upgraded my hboot to jbears 1.58. Now my speaker quit working and everything from the splash screen to the recovery is custom. My computer no longer exists due to my ex wife. Is there any way to return my phone to out of the box stock without a computer. I still have my backup I made right after I downgraded my hboot but that's not going to help I don't think. Please help.

Edit. Thanks to my friends on here with links to all the ruin.zip files I needed. I was able to go stock and got my speaker replaced for $41 dollars. Then with a few more magic ruin.zip file I'm back to my favorite setup. Cake work with you guys on my side. Thanks.

So I updated all radios and firmware. However no matter what ROM I use that uses the HTC base 2.17 it says no signal and phone process stops responding. It's always about 3 hours into the ROM it happens. I came from a warm ROM and a virus ROM with the same results. I have hboot 1.4 s-off.

Have you tried flashing the kernel only after the ROM?

Fix permissions from Rom Manager or the advanced option in CWM and reboot.
If that doesn't help, it's just a bad flash. Don't fret. Do an RUU and re-update the radio. There is no point in updating the firmware because when you flash a new ROM, you're replacing it. Then you can go ahead and S-OFF, root, flash a custom recovery, flash a ROM and kernel, etc.

The ics Roms tend to cause bootloops for most phones with s-on, so I recommend getting s-off. The easiest way is to use the wire trick.

You could downgrade your hboot, which is what I did, but that is risky too because you have to purposely soft brick your phone. HTC does not make it easy to get s-off.

Hold on, are you GSM or CDMA?
If you're GSM, when flashing an ICS ROM, you will need to manually flash the boot.img from fastboot using CMD..
No I have the cmda sprint one

I would think that the same applies for a CDMA phone.
Look at the page where you downloaded the ROM, does the dev provide you with a boot.img file? (Usually firmware file)
If so, you could probably flash it manually.
No, it doesn't say I'm trying to flash meanrom ics

Before you Install, prepare:
2.17.651.5 ROMs need the latest firmware. See freeza's all in one firmware update if you haven't done that already. If you unlocked via the HTC method, you know the drill: you'll have to take the OTA and then re-unlock.
If you are already running an older version of MeanROM, you should be OK just flashing this ROM without a full wipe, BUT...
If you have any trouble at all, do a super wipe and then install the above firmware and this ROM
Go to "Menu", "Settings", "Power" and UNcheck "Fast Boot". When you reboot or power off the phone, you really want it to reboot/power-off. This can save you a lot of headaches.

Find this in the OP for MeanROM.
Okay I'm s-on and I've learned all the tricks for hboot 1.5. To get meanrom ics running on your 3d, you need to flash the boot.IMG through fastboot. It's the easiest way I've found. In the meanrom.zip there should be a file called boot.IMG. extract that to where your adb and fastboot drivers are. Then cd/ to the files with your adb and fastboot drivers. Next 'adb reboot boatloader' to go to fastboot. When in fastboot, type 'fastboot flash boot boot.img'. then, since you have already flashed the Rom 'fastboot boot boot.img' to reboot your phone.
There are other ways to do flash the boot.img, but I prefer to use fastboot.
Hope this helps

You can use a paperclip, however, you CANNOT do the wire trick unless you are running a stock ROM.
Must be stock Gingerbread.
And, if you plan on using a paperclip, wrap it in some kind of Tape so static electricity doesn't go from you to the phone.
Use masking tape, worked for me.
im running meanrom the gingerbread one and i have a backup for stock can i just do the backup and do it like that?

Restore the backup. It has to be stock GB.
Then you should be OK.
So tonight I received a message saying there was an HTC update available to update to 4.0 Ice Cream sandwhich but every time I try to apply it, the phone restarts and takes me the HBOOT menu and nothing happens from there. Anyone know what the problem could be?
Same here for the update. Using meanrom. Didn't try updating however. I will wait for the devs. Base shows the same.

Go into recovery from the bootloader menu and make sure it is the one from HTC, not cwm, twrp, or 4ext. It should be since you ran the ruu, but just want to make sure.

Whenever I try to go to recovery it just flashes the THC screen and then goes back to the boot loader. Could the problem be that maybe I don't have a recovery? and if so how could I fix this?
Run the ruu.exe again. It seems like something didn't take last time.

You want the Sprint 2.17 one: http://www.filefactory.com/f/4ef0ef536face67a/
Hello everyone, I have seen and heard many amazing things about downgrading the bootloader, so I'm thinking of downgrading my evo 3d bootloader, but I would like to have some insights about it, the proper way of doing it, I took the sprint update and automatically updated to bootloader 1.58, I'm running meanrom ics v 2.6, and I used htc dev unlock, to unlock my e3d, as a side note, I must say that I haven't had any problems flashing roms, so far I have been able to flash any rom without any bootlops, so do you guys think that I could benefit downgrading to a lower boot, i hear 1.40 is good, remember that I took the update and I'm on htc boot 1.58, thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge with me.

If you want to flash aosp or GB ROMs, you will need to downgrade your hboot, otherwise, don't worry about it. If you do want to, you will need s-off.

All of those are aosp/aokp. Hence the bootloops. Downgrading to an earlier hboot
is the only option at this time.
