Hopefully someone help help me outta this jam I just got. So I am currently rooted and s-off. Running on 1.58 Hboot and ROM and wanted to go to an AOSP. Copied the file I needed to go over to 1.4 to my root. Went to Bootloader and successfully downgraded to 1.4. Problem now is that I was on a 1.58 rom so now it will not boot, and everytime I try to go to recovery it just wants to go to bootloader and upgrade again. I cant delete the 1.4 upgrade file!! Please help!!
Try this.

Thank you so much dude! didnt know how I was gonna get outta that!
What file did you use to successfully downgrade to 1.4? I always get an error and fail because the file is older than the current.
Thanks
Just some friendly advice, any questions or issues your having, they should be directed in the q n a section.

Don't unlock again! Also, you should be getting the ota soon. That will bring you up to date. As the other reply said, the RUU is available for you to flash instead of waiting. The thread below, in General, has a bunch of good stuff as well as links to files in post #3.

Should I get the ota ruu......I assume that will update my hboot to stock ics or should I run the jb hboot patch also will I have to reinstall a custom recovery and then reroot ........or can I just install a custom Rom.......thanks for the reply
If I wait and take the ota has there been any problems with being s-off and having a custom recovery.......thanks for the link there's a lot of usefull info there......

That link should tell you all you need to know. To answer your questions here though, you will have to be completely stock to get the ota.
If you run the ota RUU it will put all new ICS firmware (hboot, radios, stock rcovery) on your phone. You stay s-off, so from there you flash amonra again and then the rom of your choice. You won't be rooted until you flash a rooted rom...or you could flash the SuperSU zipfile in post#3 at that link...thanks to Ashton! You don't have to flash the JB hboot. The advantage of jb hboot is that it allows the use of fastboot commands to flash things like recovery.img. I kept the stock hboot. Everything I've needed i've been able to get in ph98img.zip files...(like amonra).
Here's what I did today,http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29685463 I'd probably recommend my upgrade path. It was pretty straight forward.

Ok I think I got it ........thanks for taking the time to point me in the right direction its very much appreciated......
Just to anyone worried abt doing the wire trick to get s-off really it sounds a lot more complicated than it truely is......I got it on my first try and took abt 4 min from start to finish......and this coming from a guy when he was born computers were the size of dump trucks and the Beatles were still together......

Thanks man. So do you think they are working towards a windows based solution? Or is linux the exploit?

if you read through the op you will see they do not plan on making a windows version and they also explain why

Thanks to you as well. Ok. The instructions are a little sparse. I have a small netbook currently running ubunto, I could use that? Also, I would root with regaw and htc method and then use netbook for rest of instructions.
read the first post in the thread, it does work just follow the instructions.

OK. I got rooted with regawmod, then was successful in the downgrade to 1.12 hboot. Now I am stuck on trying to RUU to 2.13 from 1.22. I keep having it fail on updating though RUU. Is there any other way to get that done? Can I just flash Fresh 5.1.1? Or am i not able to because i'm not S-off???

Y don't u just do the lazypanda s-off now since you are stock. U don't need fresh rom to do it. The new base is installed when u install a new rom on the new base. Just flash radios separately which u can do once s-off or just being on 1.12 I believe.

Yeah but the instructions state to not do it with 1.22 (what i'm currently on) and only to do it with 1.13. Or am i mistaken?

Why would you downgrade hboot and then run ruu to install the latest hboot? If you downgraded to 1.12 you should have no problem running lazy panda. Am I missing something?
On unlimited's site it says the rom requirements to run lazy panda is 1.13 RUU. I was confused on that as well but it hasn't been successful. I'm currently 1.12 hboot with 1.22 software version. So at this point just run the lazy panda?
Someone in mac's development thread stated they were able to run lazy panda on 1.12. You should ask about it in that thread and see if anyone can help
i ran it out of the box no RUU just ran it
Was that you that mentioned it then? I was having a hard time remembering who mentioned it lol
WHOO HOO! I'm S-Off!!! Ok am I finally ready for customer roms etc and I guess i need to flash radios of course.
edit: Thanks guys!
Let me know what customer roms u install. Those sound interesting.

He is on Hboot 1.40
Radio 0.97.10.0530
S-Off.
Attached is a screenshot of the current ROM he's running.

This question comes up quite often so I just created this guide to help S-OFF users get updated to the current RUU level and then install a custom hboot and recovery.
If you have further questions or issues using it please post in that thread.

Hello XDA, i've been a long time lurker due to flashing my evo 4g and swapping roms on it constantly.
I have recently purchased an CDMA EVO 3D and was attempting to get S-OFF i started off by re locking my phone but i can't get past the ROM Update Utility, i believe it's because my image version is too up to date?
My bootloader is
*** RELOCKED ***
SHOOTER XC SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.58.0000
eMMC-boot
The current Image version is 2.95.651.5 is there anything i can do to continue with getting Revolutionary S-OFF on my phone? or am i practically stuck here?
Thank you in advance for all your help, it is very much appreciated.

Just a heads up that you won't be able to flash the 2.89.651.2 RUU with the March OTA installed without downgrading your main version (mainver). I can give you instructions to do that if necessary but I suggest trying that guide first starting with Step2, or if you are already rooted Step3.
Good luck!

Just got off work and i'm gonna sit down and give this a try, thank you guys i'll let you know how it goes.
I've been stuck at the HTC logo... I still have access to recovery hboot 1.58 but it keeps saying in fastboot mode no image found???
How can I just flash anything at this point? Please help

Sorry, we can't help people that use iPad's in this forum.
j/k
But seriously, you kind of hijacked the OP's thread so you might be better off starting your own or at least providing a little more information like what ROM you are using, have you installed the March OTA, do you have a custom recovery installed, are you S-ON or S-OFF. That would be a good start anyway.

I cannot thank you guys enough, i'm S-OFF now and everything seems to be good. Again thank you two so much.
