[Q] getting to stock rom for downgrade - HTC EVO 3D

I'm trying to get my 1.58Hboot phone over to S-Off so i can downgrade my hboot easily to try out some more interesting roms. I have the steps and guides to get this done, but it requires me to have a stock rom. i have a stock rooted odex rom but it says it has to be plain stock.
So i feel like i've tried alot of things to try to get this stock rom:
RUU files
PG86IMG.zip files
Which all failed to do anything... is there anyway to get this done easy like maybe just flash something with 4ext?
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

How did they fail? What error messages did you get?
The zip version of the RUU should flash from the bootloader even if you are S-ON.

I don't get any errors on those, my bootloader finds the zip it parses the file then does nothing with it, it just goes back to the main directory screen.
The Ruu.exe file says updating form image 2.89.651.2 to 289.651.2 then it takes my screen to the "HTC" screen and it says "sending" but then gives me ERROR 155 UNKNOWN ERROR

Have you relocked your bootloader before attempting to flash the RUU?
Try issuing the following fastboot commands and post the output here:
fastboot getvar cid
fastboot getvar mainver

No i havn't, i thought it had to be unlocked to flash anything.
I'm not 100% sure where you me to issue these commands, i've only really used ADB to unlock my phone.

You had to use fastboot to flash the unlock token and your custom recovery. It's in the same directory as ADB.
Since you didn't relock your bootloader you could start with Step1 in this guide and it has everything you need to get to S-OFF.

[Q] Can't flash RUU, return phone to stock (noob needs help)

Tried following the instructions on this site to flash the latest HTC firmware and I could not install it from 4EXT. Renamed the file to PG86IMG.zip and flashed it from fastboot but hit an error. Tried to run the RUU for my radio version and every single one has hit an error (Update Failed! Main Version is older!).
The phone was originally HBOOT 1.40 S-OFF but it is now HBOOT 1.57 with s-on (which I did). I want to return the phone back to stock and start fresh but I really don't know how. Can I return back to HBOOT 1.40 or do I have to flash to the latest 1.50 and downgrade?
I'm really stumped by this one and any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm as new to the forums as you, but I did a little messing and reading around. In order to return your phone to the same way you bought it, you need to downgrade hboot to version 1.4 and then run the RUU.exe of your firmware version (I'm not sure which version it is for your phone, it was 2.17.651.5 for me but I got my phone with hboot 1.5). The downgrade thread is here [it's very tricky to brick it, make sure the light is a solid faint red (NOT BLINKING) in order to do it successfully]. Hopefully someone else can tell you which RUU version to use (to run before the downgrade if you get the *Security Warning* in hboot, as well as the one to use after in order to return to the way you were when you got the phone). I just downloaded all the RUU's and ran them all until one worked.

Hi, did you unlock and root your phone using the HTC method?
If so I think I may be able to help.

Pm me your email, and if you'd like I could email you the RUU I have and you could see if it'll work. I'll walk you through it. You have gmail right?

Since you got that error, you need to flash the 2.08 or 2.17 RUU.exe to get rid of it. Try running the RUU while in the fastboot menu, and make sure you have the HTC drivers installed on your computer.
Have you tried both RUUs to no avail?
*Edit: I believe the drivers will install if you install HTC sync. Unfortunately I cant post the link to it, but just do a Google for HTC Evo 3D drivers. It's on HTC's website

Tried both
Code:

RUU_Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_2.17.651.5_Radio_1.06.00.1216_NV_NV_spcs_1.42_release_233304_signed
Both of which gave me the same error. the RUU connects over fastbootusb but halts at a specific point in the install, so I assume I have the right HTC drivers. I can find the install point in question if that would help.

That's really strange. Just to make sure you have the right drivers, go to Control Panel and then to Device Manager and see if your phone is there. It should be under "Android USB devices" or the like. Also, is USB debugging on before the going into hboot?
*Edit: Some more little things, HTC Sync should be uninstalled from your computer, and your phone should be locked.

I used the instructions and download links from androidadvices(dot)com/update-htc-evo-3d-cdma-leaked-ics-403-firmware/. Reading the instructions now I see that I didn't put the phone into USB recovery mode. I can't get back into the ROM to do so and I can't get into my recovery either.
Your currently on hboot 1.57 and thats your your getting an update fail since 2.17 RUU has hboot1.50 Im not sure their is a way to downgrade this firmware unless you try the downgrade method for hboot 1.50 but that could maybe cause in a permanent brick.

I'm trying that now. Hopefully it works!
So I tried bricking the phone using Unknownforce's method but everytime I would try and flash the 2.17 PG86IMG file in fastboot I get the same Hboot Version error. I also tried the Shooter_ICS_35_S_Sprint zip by renaming it to PG86IMG and and flashing in fastboot (since it has the matching hboot version), but I get a CID incorrect error. I'm trying to unlock my bootloader by using the HTC method in order to change the CID, but when I do so it gives me this in terminal.
Code:
C:\rootevo3dnew>fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin
sending 'unlocktoken' (0 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.151s]
writing 'unlocktoken'...

My bootloader still says it's locked but the unlock_code.bin in ADB looks like it's working. Can anyone tell me what is happening? This is the only thing holding me back from downgrading and it's frustrating

Hey sorry I so abrubtly had to go earlier, did you try again to flash the cwm.img? If you can get into backup and restore I feel as if you might be able to just go back to the previous hboot and ROM you had , not making any promises though.

I believe you don't flash that as boot. You flash cwm.img (clock work mod) as a recovery. Try
C:\rootevo3dnew>fastboot flash recovery cwm.img
*Edit: make sure your cwm.img is in your C:\rootevo3dnew folder.
Then after that, boot into the bootloader and go to recovery to access clockwork mod. See if you have any backups (which will save you a TON of pain by putting you back on hboot 1.4 with whatever former ROM you backed it up with)

Tried it, still gave me the signature verification error. I think it's because the bootloader is locked.

Is there anything else I can try???

You have to be unlocked to flash the recovery image. Does it not say its unlocked at the top of HBOOT after using the HTC method?

I am hboot 1.58 S-ON i keep getting an error that the RUU i have is not the right one i have downloaded 3 different ones and all say the same thing i have read many thread and tried many ways to root this thing. I relock before using RUU but no matter what i get this message. It also will not flash any recovery, It just gets stuck at "sending"
i have the right drivers and everything. my computer sees my phone when i type "fastboot devices". any help would be so great.

Based on your bootloader version, it sounds like you have a Sprint Evo 3D. I have a guide here that should help you get the the right RUU flashed, then get root and S-OFF.

Then you need to give more specifics. If you can post the header information displayed in your bootloader here, and give the text of the error messages you are getting when you try to flash the RUU contained in the download, that will make it easier to help.
Also, please issue the following commands from fastboot and post the output here:
fastboot getvar cid
fastboot getvar mainver

Definitely post up the information ramjet73 is asking for.
Btw ramjet, you are quick. You always beat me to it!
Also curious if you are running the Ruu while booted up or from fastboot?
This seems blaringly obvious but if you are s-on, did you relock the bootloader?

He said in the OP that "I relock before using RUU but no matter what i get this message", but that's why I want to see his bootloader info and the text of the message he is getting.
I always recommend starting the RUU.exe with the phone in "fastboot usb" mode, but in theory it should work even if he is booted into Android.
Let's see what he has to say.

That mainver doesn't look right. I should be 2.89.651.2 if you are on hboot 1.58. If that's really the current mainver it would explain why you can't flash the RUU. I have no idea how that could have been changed without flashing something with an incorrect android-info.txt in a PG86IMG.zip file, which requires S-OFF, or someone setting the mainver incorrectly via ADB. Did you get the phone new or used?
Please verify that is correct, and if it is, it will need to changed before the RUU will take.
Also, when you try to run the RUU.exe again make sure the phone is in fastboot USB mode.
ramjet73
I will rerun the comand later to make sure, I always run it from fastboot usb. Also i got the phone as an insurance replacement. sprint sucks so bad there is no telling if the phone is actually new or not

So your CID and mainver look OK.
The 155 error usually means your current bootloader is unlocked.
Try relocking your your bootloader, then remove and and replace the battery and start the bootloader. Since your bootloader is currently unlocked, the status should show as "*** RELOCKED ***". Make sure it does and that you are connected to your PC in "fastboot usb" mode, then try it again.
If that doesn't work, you can try downloading just the RUU.exe from here. It's the same one that is in the QADERSO .zip file, but it's worth a try.
ramjet73
during my previous attempt it was relocked, anytime i try running RUU from fastboot it says it cant run because my battery is too low (i have 93% battery and i dont get the warning if i run from the home screen) i cannot run RUU from fastboot because this is all i ever see even after re downloading

The battery low indicator in fastboot mode sounds like a hardware problem to me. If your battery isn't charging correctly it may be a problem with your cable or USB port. Many people have gotten the RUU.exe to flash successfully by changing to a different cable and/or PC, but if you can't do that I suggest fully charging the battery with the A/C adapter that came with the phone before trying to flash the RUU.exe again.
Flashing the RUU.exe with the phone in Android mode may be masking the problem, but something is not right with your hardware.

Your phone is not screwed
What did you change? I'm guessing you either flashed a rom that's incompatible with your current hboot or you are s-on and need to flash the kernel separately.
What recovery do you have installed?

thanks for the response but i actually managed to fix it yesterday. idk what i changed but i was using the clockworld recovery but it wouldnt install the stock shooter file so i used 4ext and its all bueno now except it boots as a sprint phone now but whatever i can deal with that

Unroot Help
If you want to unroot, first find the Stock Hboot 1.58, then install it.
Then run the RUU for your device.
Lastly, in fastboot (adb), run "reboot bootloader" then run "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3".
Congrats, you will now be unrooted with bootloader *LOCKED*.
If you need any more help, feel free to PM me.

He said to run the RUU before issuing that command so it should be fine if the intent is to return to 100% stock, including S-ON. It's not really necessary to flash the stock bootloader before flashing the RUU but it might save having to restart the RUU if it hangs after flashing the bootloader. The OP said he was already on hboot 1.58 anyway.
You will also need to to lock the bootloader with a zip file in recovery since flashing the RUU doesn't do that. I have a guide here that includes everything you need.
Good luck!

When i reinstalled the stock Hboot manually (via bootloader) it showed *LOCKED* for me.
Just wondering, how does flashing a zip file in recovery, (which doesn't touch the Hboot) turn it *LOCKED*?

That's because you were locked already and it just wasn't showing because the custom hboot masks that status.
There's a link to a thread that explains how the lock zip file works in this post.

The available RUU's for the Evo 3D/V are linked from step 2 in this this post.
You would probably want the highest numbered build for the European GSM model.
ramjet73
Somehow i must have messed up something. There are two different Europe RUU
RUU_Shooter_U_HTC_Europe_1.20.401.2_Radio_10.53.9020.00_10.13.9020.08_2M_release_203403_signed.exe 388469KB 17 2013-01-29 10:02:36
and
RUU_SHOOTER_U_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.28.401.1_Radio_11.77.3504.00U_11.25.3504.06_M_release_262714_signed.exe 444142KB 21 2013-01-29 09:40:53
But i cant install either of them. I allways get error 155, meaning i have got the wrong ruu.
Is there some way to force the damn thing to accept some of the roms? need my phone, am stuck with a damn samsung jet at the moment

Use the following fastboot commands to display your current CID and mainver:
fastboot getvar cid
fastboot getvar mainver
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Post the values here and that should help identify what RUU you need.
The mainver can be changed by flashing zip files but have you ever changed your CID?
ramjet73
C:\Android>fastboot getvar cid
< waiting for device >
cid: HTC__102
finished. total time: 0.003s
C:\Android>fastboot getvar mainver
mainver: 3.28.401.1
finished. total time: 0.016s
That is what i get. The only thing i did is unlock the bootloader on htcdev and then root by instructions i found here
1_Press the power and volume down button at the same time
2_Go to fastboot make sure your phone is connected to the PC
3_Make sure you have Your Original ROM
4_You need a recovery go to http://d-h.st/Ikz
5_When you used adb and fastboot on htcdev press ctrl shift right click(you will see command window press it) on the folder you putted them and copy recovery.img to that folder
6_type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
7_go to bootloader and choose recovery
8_toggle usb storage
9_copy this file http://downloads.androidsu.com/super...ghi-signed.zip to your sd card
10_In recovery choose install from sd card
11_choose zip
12_choose the zip from sd card
13_choose zip you copied and install
14_reboot

OK, you're fine.
The reason you are getting the 155 error for the RUU is because you need to lock the bootloader with the following command before running it:
fastboot oem lock
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Try doing that and then running the RUU_SHOOTER_U_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.28.401.1 version of the RUU again.

Thank you very much. That was the problem. Worked perfectly

[Q] Softbricked and really screwed up.....

Okay guys. I unlocked with Moonshine, was on a Carbon ROM 10.1, updated last night to a 10.2 based Carbon ROM and lost my data. I found out to get it back, I needed to RUU back to stock. Downloaded the RUU and tried to run but it tells me that fastboot.exe and adb.exe have stopped working (I am on Windows 8). In the meantime, I missed a step and re-locked the bootloader early.
Trying to re-unlock with Moonshine and it continually reboots my phone at the "Launching Temproot" stage. Tried to unlock with Facepalm and it worked fine except it didn't fail (as it's designed too) Try to run the next step from Facepalm (The boot stage) and it fails.
Now when I hard reboot get out of the HTC screen from Facepalm, it hangs on the splash screen which is custom. Also after I performed Facepalm, it overwrote my custom recovery so that's gone and it won't let me write another one because the bootloader is locked.
I'm am at a complete loss here and am very afraid that my DNA it toast but I know there is a glimmer of hope because I can access fastboot. Any help from the masters here at XDA would be great.

Wow! 1)..RUU does totally format, erase and finally restore the original system that came with the phone as new. so you loose everything
2) Try it from Windows 7 PC
3) Return to stock on Moonshine S-Off > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293919&highlight=flash+radio
Okay, Tried RUU from a Windows 7 pc and no dice, I get error 170 (USB connection) but no fastboot or adb failures. I was able to flash the stock 1.15 HBOOT but when I go to fastboot it tells me my HBOOT is version 1.33.
Tried Facepalm to no avail, It still won't fail after the first command as its supposed to. Tried Moonshine as well but wouldn't work because debugging isn't enabled.
Found a guide that said to find the RUU rom in the temp files and put that on the sd-card which I can't do because it won't boot, but thought I would try to flash it and this is what it did - P.S. The Rom is the PB99IMG file
