i want to make my evo s-off but i cant. i'm on yodas ics rom. so i do it by wiretrick. my hboot ver. is: 1.53.0007. i cant downgrade it please help.
Start by reading the instructions more carefully. the wire trick only works on stock RUU, you should have read that on the website when you downloaded joupunbear. Then it will work

ok so what should i do ? i cant do wire trick. i tried to downgrade hboot with hex editor but when i open .img there are only 00000... no more values. now what to do ?
You must flash the RUU for your phone and carrier in order to even get started with the wire trick. To be safe, that is. So go ahead and grab you the stock RUU and then flash it. Once you're done, you can get started by following the instructions given on Juno's site.

Since you are s-on do 'fastboot oem lock'. Then run the ruu (it must be ics) and follow the onscreen instructions, all ruus are there -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1906172. Then s-on with htcdev, flash recovery, do a backup, s-off with wiretrick (go to unlimited.io, all the required files and a guide is there) and finally downgrade hboot -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1906172 and I recommend to flash 4ext touch recovery since I have never had any problems with it. After hboot downgrade go into recovery and wipe all partitions except sdcard. Flash the rom. You're done.

So my needs was to install GB instead of ICS which my evo 3d got in official way from HTC. After one week of reading and trying different ways with no success I did it just a few minutes ago. I know my task it very rare, but it must be posted and here is the steps.
Situation: EVO 3D GSM with official ICS, hboot 1.53 S-ON and CID HTC__E11
Goal: have GB on it instead of ICS
1. S-OFF your hboot 1.53 using method D described here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28131331
Note. Don't worry if it will not work from the first time even after 10 times. Just keep trying and it will work
2. Now you have S-OFF and able to install custom ROMs, but you can't install GB because it needs hboot 1.49. It is possible to downgrade hboot with these simple tools created by Flashmaniac:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22494488&postcount=1
But it requires GB and not works on ICS!
So here is the trick: you need to install GB with hboot 1.53 and make your device boot loop. Yes, boot loop it for always. Install LeeDrOiD, as I like it more:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1245424
After installing you'll have your phone boot loop and this is what we need.
3. Now you're able to run Flashmaniac' tools, because GB is installed (even can't be load)!!! Go through all that steps described by Flashmaniac and finally you'll have hboot 1.49 and S-OFF
4. Now you are able to install LeeDrOiD GB, just install it once again from SD card and it will work well for now. DONE!
Thanks for this i was also considering going to S-Off and very good of you to post such nice guide.
Very High Quality of you.
Thanks again. :good:
Now I have my "new" hboot . Although Flashmaniac tool dont run exactly, but ... worked :laugh:
Can confirm, that it works
Can i downgrade without HTC dev unlock? I can not unlock it because of new motherboard
Very nice tipp.
When you proceed to added E step, and after you download PG86IMG.zip and flash it in bootloader it will automatically install HBOOT 1.49.0007 and GB 2.3.4, really nice work. :good::good::good:

I did everything, except flashed other GB ROM then LeeDroid. Had bootloop and all that s****. Though I do not understand if I have to execute Flashmaniac`s tool while bootlooping or while in bootloader/Fastboot USB?
Thanks

Hey! A while ago I rooted my phone using the revolutionary method. Later I reverted back to stock and locked the bootloader. However the S-OFF remained. A few minutes ago I had 1.53 HBOOT and ICS stock. But now I got HBOOT 1.49.0007 and I wanna use revolutionary tool to unlock bootloader yet again. But now it gives me an error saying, "Failed to get root! "
Is there another way to get rooted WITHOUT using the HTC method since I already got S-OFF and 1.49.0007 HBOOT? I don't feel comfortable using HTC's method....

I think the "Failed to get root!" message is because HTC patched the tacoroot exploit in the ICS builds that was being used for temp root with the GB builds.
Why do you want to unlock the bootloader? If you want to run the additional fastboot commands you should be able to just flash the JBear version of the current bootloader, or does that cause problems on the GSM model?
ramjet73
Since you are S-OFF you can flash whatever bootloader you want. I don't know revolutionary method, I was using jbear to get S-OFF. After S-OFF i flashed RUU and I was on stock 1.53.007 locked bootloader with S-OFF and i couldn't root my phone. I've flashed hboot from this site:
http://unlimited.io/jbhboots.htm
There you have 2 versions of GSM Evo 3d hboots. After that you can do everything with your phone. Good luck!

I contacted unlimited.io's support in the IRC and downloaded the ICS HBOOT - 1.53.5353 and flashed that. Now it seemes to work!
Anyway, thanks for your answer! If they wouldn't have responded then you would have been my savior!
Okay, problem number two.... I have flashed CWM now and I installed Super User inside recovery mode but I don't get root access? I downloaded the signed package from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1991929
Any ideas?
I have tried to repair premissions after the install of Super User. I have also updates Super User from Market after Install due to force close after the fresh install from CWM

Follow method B (steps 1 to 14 if you want to be on rooted stock) and it should be ok. If I remember correctly, there is a 4ext recovery to download, maybe try this one. Good luck!
I have my EVO HBOOt 1.53 (JopunutBear) S-off stock 4.0 rom. Now when i flash jb or ics custom roms i get a bootlop.

Are you putting the pg file in the root of your sdcard or in a separate file folder?
( Don't ask me for help as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh! )
yes i put it in root. how big is the rigt pg file. i have one with about 324kb and one with about 300mb

That one with about 384 kB. Then, turn off your phone, turn it on in bootloader (volume down + power on). Wait a little and it will ask you to update. Press volume up, and wait. After that you have to delete that PG file from sd card. (that pg 300 MB has a rom on it..thats why it is so big)

If the bootloader doesn't find the zip, make sure it's named PG86IMG.zip (capitalization as is) and make sure there is no double zip extension.
Here my BL. It Doesnt find the small PG file.
Does it something has to do with my JoupunutBear HBOOT 1.52.7777
Are there other ways to downgrade hboot with s-off?
Can i flash JoupunutBear HBOOT 1.49 from unlimited.io?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
If you can boot into your ROM then just check whether your phone is recognizing data on your sdcard. Sometimes after the wire trick sdcards tend to flip out. Your pc might be detecting it fine but the phone might not. Just humor me and try playing a song or something from the card just to rule out this possibility
Sent from my Evo 3D GSM
i will try this. is hboot downgarde the only way to get custom roms working?
EDIT:SD works
What about cid for pg file? i have htc_102. i tried fastboot oem writecid 1111111 and htc_01 but nothing changed.
Cid shouldn't be a problem with the zip from that thread. Try running an RUU and then downgrading hboot

If you are still having issues let me know. I have recently had the same problem as yourself.
With hboot 1.53 you can only run ICS ROMs but if you are not able to run ICS either I would use a 4EXT recovery then enable smart flash (I know this should only matter when s-on is worth a go) Also use fastboot to flash the boot.img from what ever ROM you have chosen just incase it's an issue with that.
PG86img.zip files are CID specific and need to be for your location and carrier (from my understanding) unless you have a super CID which is 11111111 (denoting a factory unlocked device, but don't quote me)
I too have a 1.53.0007 hboot and also am having trouble finding a solution to hboot changes once you are s-off with that hboot. How I got that hboot after gaining s-off is beyond me but it seems I am not alone and if that hboot can be put in it HAS to be able to change it. The easiest way that I can think of is to gain s-on (I haven't looked hard enough for that yet though) then to s-off again and make the hboot update that way.
by the way (now I can't find it's exact meaning and am choked) I was really surprised that the beer reference had more than just a catchy ring to it. Engineering something or other, I shoulda wrote it down

the PG86IMG in this thread is compatible with all CIDs. as long as you are s-off you can change your hboot easily using this thread

Thank you so much. And now I'm able to flash jellybean ROMs I think I'll stick with the ICS one I am using (King Cobra, I think could be Cool though) as it is great on batteries and everything works great. And I get to freak people out with the creepy 3d camera. lol.

I am assuming that your phone wasn't S-OFF at the time? I accidentally tried to S-OFF one of my EVO 3Ds (GSM) that was already S-OFF at the time and I got a "WOW!!! What are you doing. Your phone appears to be S-OFF already. Doing so again could result in impotence, and death" or words to that effect. Basically a gaudy do you want your phone to die type of a message. If your device was S-OFF to begin with I was not aware that you could use Juopunutupbear to change the HBOOT version without going through the whole S-OFF process. Can you give some more details as to your phones state (i.e., HBOOT version, S-ON or S-OFF, etc...) before you used juopunutupbear to change the HBOOT. Thanks

hey guys. im trying to root my evo 3d.
i unlocked the bootloader via HTCDEV. i also changed the cid from HTC__E11 to HTC__001.
i used Flashmaniac's tool to downgrade from 1.53.0007 to 1.49.0007 but it didn't work. all it did was restarting the EVO.
i watched some videos on how to use this tool, in the video's the phone gets a black screen with HTC logo and a beam.
when this EVO gets the black screen with HTC logo, the beam doesn't show up and the phone restarts into android.
I also tried to downgrade manually, but i can't find hboot 1.49.0007 on xda.
There is one thread with the link but that one doesn't work.
can someone please help me to downgrade to 1.49.0007??
that tool will not work for you. you need to have gingerbread and hboot 1.49.x18 to downgrade using that tool. right now your only option is the wire trick.
RUU back to stock and perform the wire trick to get s-off. then you can flash any hboot you want (you cant just downgrade to 1.49.0007 w/o s-off)
all instructions about the wire trick are here
PG86IMG.zip of hboot 1.49.0007 modified to work with any cid is located here
