I have just got an evo 3d, previosuly owned one, and stupid me forgot to make a back up of my stock rom before i rooted and flashed an ICS rom.
Im in Australia on OPTUS, the CID is OPTUS001 and i cannot chnage this.
Im S-on, with Hboot 1.53.007 and htcdev unlocked
I have tried lots of things but cant for the life of me figure this one out.
I want to S-off and downgrade the hboot. But to do this i need s-off and need to change the cid, which i cant right now
Where can i get the OPTUS RUU for ICS? I have tried the asia RUU but it fails with incorrect CID
I have 4ext recovery and also have fastboot access
Or what can i do?
many thanks in advance

Okay. You are S on and have a custom recovery. Why can't you s off then? Do the wire trick. Unlimited.io has everything you need to know. After s off downgrade hoot and change cid if you need to. Hboot downgrade -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1906172

Not that I know of. Any one else hear different?
Soff with wire trick works ONLY on stock rom from ruu. Not even a flashed one that says stock... His only chance is to find a ruu compatible with his cid (sorry bro, cant help you there, i searched a bit but no good results).
Other case, you can enable Smartflash in 4ext tools and use custom ics roms, but only sense roms. On that bootloader you cannot flash anything else other than sense based.
Just as a question, did you by chance try the european ruu? I have a feeling it might work...

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..

"ruby pvt ship s-on rl"
hboot-1.93.0002
emmc-boot
my question is if i want to load a custom rom on it will it need s-off
because thats why i used hasoon all in one kit but im not sure if its a issuse to load

you dont need to be s-off to load a custom rom. s-off is just recently available and people have been flashing roms for a very long time on the amaze. s-off allows you to change you splash screen as well as other things. you should still be able to flash a rom being s-on
You with need to change to 4ext recovery if you're son, clockwork mod cannot flash kernels while s-on, unless you know how to use fast boot to do it manually.

The manual method you mention is just renaming the file and putting in on the external SD card, then going into fastboot, right? I am S-On, and I simply flashed the leaked ICS ROM using that method.
EDIT: I've considered 4ext, but since my CWM is working fine, I haven't switched. Is there some good reason I should change to 4ext?

The manual method is to flash the kernel via fastboot using adb. The reason I said 4EXT is because it's the only recovery that flashes kernels while s-on, I said that in my previous post.
Ah, thanks.

HI,
I am not able to make S-OFF. I am on HTC leaked ICS ROM and I want to go back to Stock ROM of ICS. Can I go back on Stock ROM or something stable and better on ICS without having S-OFF and bricking the phone.

So your on a Rom or the ruu because the leaked ruu is a stock rom

So the latest update totally screwed up my stock evo. Sprint was super unhelpful in trying to replace it, so instead of waiting for them I rooted the phone and installed MeanRom. Now I have an unlocked rooted evo with hboot 1.19. It still have a lot of freezing and rebooting problems so I'd like to return it to Sprint for a new unit. I hear that trying to downgrade using an older RUU with hboot 1.19 will brick the phone. Is there a safe way of returning my evo to stock so that Sprint takes it back? Thank you for helping this noob out.
Did you do a NANDROID backup before flashing the ROM? If so, start by restoring your phone to it's previous state.
You cant downgrade. It wont brick it, it just wont work
Relock the bootloader and flasht the 1.19 RUU. Thats your only option for unrooting

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

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

Assuming that you already unlocked your device.What rom do you actually have installed?
Edit:
You can also flash ruu via bootloader.
For more info look here
You can also flash this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1202422
and flash the boot.img from inside of the zip via fastboot.
just start it up, (will take a while) and enable USB debugging.
(it will boot, but wifi won't work)
Now reboot to bootloader and flash the juonuputbear boot image. No need to flash the su zip, as it's already in the rom
Good luck!
Same issues here..will try again.
