i am finally s-off thanks to Juopunutbear and unlimited.io......
i figured that i would try flashing from Juopunutbear 1.58.5858 hboot to eng 1.04 hboot....shockingly enough i was successful on the first attempt,,,
loaded the PG86IMG.zip file to the root of my sd card and went without a hitch....
i got brave and was gonna do another hboot,,so,,i renamed the the next file to PG86IMG.zip just like the last time and booted into fastboot and..........nothing,,,,,,,,,hmmmm,,,,so i tried again,,,and nothing,,,,,,thought i had a bad download so i downloaded from another source ...and nothing....
well,,i thought,,theres alot i can do with the eng 1.04 hboot so i decided to change my radio ,,,just to figure out how all this works,,,,downloaded the radio,,,renamed it to PG86IMG.zip,,,,,booted into fastboot and,,,,nothing,,the same as before.....so,,,all of a sudden my fastboot wont recognize the PG86IMG.zip files and i have no idea why....
any help would be greatly appreciated

i figured it out,,,,,,for a DOS guy i'm kinda proud of myself.....LOL
when you rename any hboot file or ruu file to <filename>.zip if you look at that files properties the actual file would be called ..
<filename>.zip.zip.....
because windows recognizes certain files without an extension so one isnt needed...
so i renamed my filename to just PG86IMG and didnt put an extension of .zip on it and put it in the root of my sd card and whalah......instant success

The benefit is S-Off which will allow you to flash any ROM/Kernel. If you currently have 1.49.0011 or above unlocked using the HTC method you would have had troubles where some ROMs just sit at the white HTC screen forever or error messages when trying to flash kernels ect.
This will fix all those issues!

That wouldn't be a rom I don't think if you dl it from sprint. It should be an exe file you run from your pc. Just plug your phone into your pc and run the exe you downloaded. It's called an ruu. It will erase root and your recovery and return you back to stock.

I'm not getting what you're saying here. I ran the 2.17 ruu and then I tried the 2.08 and it wouldn't install, I thought it was because it was older, but maybe I'm missing something.

I've found that anyone who reported random reboots was using the pg86img.zip files through bootloader to upgrade/downgrade the sw version. It's not that all pg86imgs don't work properly, its just that some don't and I don't know which ones. I'd strongly recommend using an RUU.exe file from your computer to go back to 2.08. I soft bricked my phone for a few hours also trying to install a pg86img.zip (but that was a dumb error on my part, and the RUU.exe fixed my stupidity )
EDIT: if the file you downloaded is an executable file (.exe), run it from your computer and you don't have to rename it anything. If you downloaded a .zip file, it has to be renamed to PG86IMG.zip and you have to put it in the root directory of your SD card

Trying to follow the instructions on Android Police
but where do I find the ICS OTA full firmware, or is that OTAPkg.zip ?
Confused already.. hope this isn't a sign of things to come
Get the Global leak from HERE. This is version 4.03.605.2, which is the same as 4.03.605.1 but with some bugs fixed. As it says in the article, download the RUU from any of the five mirrors provided, rename the file to PH98IMG.zip, put it on the root of the SD card, reboot to bootloader, and let it update. To be safe, you can do it twice.
Don't forget to relock your bootloader if you are unlocked. Then you can run the RUU.

Definitely let it run through twice, I think it does that on its own. I've read posts from devs saying it needs to run twice to be sure it gets all the system files written or something.

Sorry still confused, so please bear with me:
1) download zip
2) rename to PH98IMG.zip
3) put on SD Root, flash twice
I'm still S-On does that matter?

You need to relock before running the RUU if you are s-on. In fastboot type:
fastboot oem lock
Then after running it if you want root back:
delete the PH98IMG.zip from the sd card
unlock using htcdev
fastboot flash recovery
install SU in recovery
Or you can go s-off if that's your plan. See s-off thread for instructions.
After fastboot oem lock, are the next steps correct?
How bad can I screw this up? Will the phone become a paperweight?

it doesn't find it in bootloader. File name is pg86img.zip and it is in .root in sd card but it doesn't find it.
if by .root you mean a folder named root, then it wont be recognized. It needs to NOT be in any folder. just place it outside and try. And try to keep the name exactly this: PG86IMG.zip capitalization is important sometimes

Hello, everyone. I am going to get right to it. I think mI messed up my wife's phone. Since I can still get into the bootloader, I believe there is a chance to un-mess it.
I updated the bootloader on my wife's HTC EVO 3D from 1.4 S-off to 1.58.5858 S-off. Her phone is running a gingerbread ROM and still using the 2.17 base. Stupid move, I'm sure. I downloaded a Jupuonutbear 1.58 hboot, dropped it in the root of her SD card, named it PG86IMG.zip, and booted into the bootloader.
Now, all I get is a bootloop. Every time I try to start her phone.
I am a stupid, stupid man.
Hopefully you all can help me put this right, and after that, maybe give me some directions on how to PROPERLY go about updating her phone.
First, Let me tell you what it says when I boot into the bootloader:
=Juopunutbear=
SHOOTER XC SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.58.5858
RADIO-0.97.10.350
eMMC-boot
May 17, 2012, 15:06:44
Then the regular hboot menu, etc.
My thinking is that I can pull her SD card, delete PG86IMG.zip, and drop a 1.4 hboot in there, naming it PG86IMG.zip. Then boot to bootloader, and problem solved. Is this correct, or does anyone have a better idea?
Thanks for reading. Sorry for the minimalist tone, I really wanted to craft a wordier, funnier post, but in this case I figured I'd better just stick with the facts. Hope somebody out there can help me.
You got it. Just put 1.4 back on there.
This should be in q&a, not developement.
People. Save it. This thread isn't going to need 10 post telling the op he posted in the wrong forum. Report & move on.
To answer your question. You just need to flash the 1.50.5050 jb boot loader
To enter right into recovery use the command below.
adb reboot-recovery
This will skip the boot loader from reading your SD card .

OK, no re-post then. Well, I tried flashing a boot.img from the bootloader, but it didn't read right. On the plus side, I have access to recovery thru the bootloader now. So, I am thinking, try another 1.4 boot.img(anybody have a link?), or try to update the rest(from GB to ICS, radios, etc., is that even possible? If so, does anybody have any links?). Common sense, of course, dictates that I try to get it back to 1.4, then start a Q&A thread in the PROPER subforum about upgrading her phone.
Any ideas/suggestions?
Also: THANK YOU. SINCERELY.

Thank you, I have dropped the hboot 1.4 onto the SD card, renamed it PG86IMG.zip, but when I boot into the bootloader, it just says:
No image or wrong image!
Then goes back to the bootloader menu. I am using the version with Revolutionary S-off, because my wife's phone was and is s-off. Any suggestions?
As I said, it would seem some progress has been made, as I now seem to have access to recovery, but I am stumped as to where I should go from here......
I'm guessing you know simple fast boot commands.
So here's a quick way to flash bootloaders. First remove the PG86IMG.zip file from you're SD card.
Place the pg86img.zip file in your fastboot directory. So where you would keep your IMG files for flashing.
Next. Place your bootloader in fastboot USB.
Follow the commands in order .
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip PG86IMG.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now enter recovery clear cache & reboot device.

Strange..
Make sure everything matches, even CAPS.
so if the file is PG86IMG.zip you will type it as
Code:
fastboot flash zip PG86IMG.zip
Not fastboot flash zip pg86img.zip if that doesnt work try the next option below.
download this bootloader. (hboot 1.04)
download.
Place is in your Android folder where fastboot is located. dont rename the file and use the command below.
Code:
fastboot flash zip hboot.zip
Trying it now.....
Okay, that proceeded as you said. Device has rebooted, and is functional. Had to reload a couple of widgets.
You, sir, are a lifesaver, and I have thanked you.
Any forseeable problems to her being 1.04 hboot instead of 1.4? She is running CleanROM Reborn 1.1...has been since she got the phone a year ago.....
And, yeah, I typed it caps and all, an exact copy. Dunno why it wouldn't flash.... but the 1.04 did....
