[How To] Revert Back To Original ROM - HTC EVO 3D

1_S-off from unlimited.io if hboot 1.49.0009-> 1.53.0007 or revolutionary.io if hboot 1.49.0007 or hboot 1.49.0008
2_download PG86IMG.zip from http://depositfiles.com/files/90ondkrk0
3_copy the zip to sdcard
4_go to bootloader wait for it to finish scanning and checking the image then click yes(volume up)
5_wait for it to finish then reboot
6_Go to fastboot
7_Type fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
8_fastboot reboot-bootloader

I'm S-OFF and have 1.49.0007 hboot. I have done that with joupunutbear method and i don't understand the first step, I have to do S-OFF steps again? Also if I'm on custom rom I'm doing those steps and then I start RUU .exe?

Revert to hboot 1.40

Hi... I tried to update my firmware last night but ended up with a relocked hboot 1.57 s-off. I could have swore I downloaded Freeza's firmware with hboot removed. After hours of searching here I am. If anyone can help me get back to 1.40 I would greatly appreciate it, really need my phone for work. Thanks
Have you tried this?

Download the 1.40 Hboot link
then boot into fastboot
then run:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
an HTC screen will appear then run:
fastboot flash zip PG86IMG_1.40-hboot.zip
After it finishes flashing, the console will say it is done but the image on the screen may not complete. I usually wait a bit then run:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
It should reboot and you should see 1.40 again

Unroot help please!!

So I rooted using revolutionary.io tool on hboot 1.40.1100 and now have to unroot it. From what I have gathered the way to do it is to flash the full ruu 1.13.651.7 PG86IMG.zip file through the hboot. Is this right? And if so does anybody have a link to the full ruu zip??
Thanks
Download the appropriate RUU version for your region here:

to change s-off to s-on in fastboot (cmd) type "fastboot write secureflag 3"

[Q] How to flash recovery with Hboot locked and S-off

Hello. I have a GSM Evo 3d, 1.53.0007 hboot (unlocked via HTC Dev), after that S-OFF via JBEAR, now I'm on stock hboot locked with S-OFF. After that I can't install 4Ext. When I use fastboot i got info remote: not allowed (I supose that this is because I'm S-ON). Can I flash 4Ext directly in hboot? Does any1 have this recovery as a PG86IMG.ZIP? Or is there any other way to flash it? Cheers

JBear will leave the bootloader locked which will prevent most fastboot commands from running if you didn't choose the JuopunutBear bootloader when prompted by controlbear. If you don't have "JuopunutBear" at the top of your bootloader you can download the JBear custom bootloader for your phone and Android version (GB or ICS) from the unlimted.io website and install it using the instructions on that site, then you should be able to run the fastboot commands needed for flashing.

There's 2 simple ways to do this, depending on whether you want jb hboot or not.
Regardless of whether you want it or not, download the correct hboot for your device from here: http://unlimited.io/downloads/hboots/
If you want to change your hboot from ***LOCKED*** to =Juopunutbear= :
then rename your recovery image to "recovery.img" & drag-and-drop the recovery.img file onto jb_hboot.zip to add it to the zip
Then, use the commands given here to flash it: http://unlimited.io/jbhboots.htm
If you want to keep your hboot as ***LOCKED*** :
then rename your recovery image to "recovery.img" & drag-and-drop the recovery.img file onto jb_hboot.zip to add it to the zip
Open the jb_hboot.zip file & delete the .nb0 file that might have a long name (something like"hboot_....nb0"
Then, use the commands given here to flash it: http://unlimited.io/jbhboots.htm

:good: And there's a button for thanks mate
Can I use the same method to flash only bootloader (official 1.53.0007). This is what i thought about: extract hboot from ruu (hboot_SHR_U_1.53.0007_20120522_signedbyaa.nb0), add this to archive with android-info.txt and then use the same commands when I was flashing jbear hboot? Can I downgrade bootloader to 1.49.0007 using this method and will this hboot work well with ICS?

How do I make my phone ready for custom rom that needs s-off and hboot 1.49.xxxx

Hi
My friend gave me his old HTC Evo 3D gsm. And I want to install a custom rom on it (CM 10.2 hopefully).
But it requires HBOOT: 1.49.xxxx and S-OFF
My phones is atm running stock ICS and has S-Off, (re)locked and Hboot 1.53.0007.
How can I get HBOOT: 1.49.xxxx and S-OFF?
ps: I know how to unlock bootloader
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1906172
#1, Download zip (IN POST 2)
#1, Simply place the pg86img.zip on root of sd,
#3, Boot into bootloader and run the update
#4, Follow onscreen instructions
it will flash the bootloader, reboot, then flash splash img , then reboot
and your now in hboot 1.49.0007

After doing the above, make sure you have a custom recovery installed (4EXT preferably) and make a nandroid backup. then wipe data and caches and flash any rom you want
It requires root first. How do I get that?

How did you gain s-off while still on hboot 1.53.0007???
I was locked, s-on and on hboot 1.53.0007 (stock rom)
- 1st unlock with htc-dev method
- 2nd install 4ext touch recovery (recommended for almost all custom roms)
- 3rd s-off with this method, then you have hboot 1.53.7777 s-off
- 4th flash hboot 1.49.0007 in bootloader
For step 4 put the zip file to the root of sdcard, boot into bootloader and wait until bootloader recognizes the zip and asks you for update.
Afterwards if you reboot once more into bootloader you'll see ***locked***, but thats only a fake lock!
For root simply flash a file called something like "Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip" (google it) in recovery, but that's not necessary if you plan to flash a custom rom.
I think you are getting confused by this step: #1, Simply place the pg86img.zip on root of sd
you do not require root for this, it means you have to place the zip file on your sdcards root. not in any folder

From S-OFF to 100% Stock S-ON Hboot 1.33

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293919&page=15&nocache=1
Followed the tutorial above to revert back to stock and couldn't get my Hboot to 1.15 and i was stuck on 1.33. Anyway spent some of today and got it figured out and worked 100%.
The problem was step - 3. run the RUU as admin (right click, run as administrator) ** If you get an Image 158 error during RUU, try flashing the stock hboot -SEE POST 4**
1. download 1.15 stock hboot: 1.15 stock hboot MD5: B4B8555C20724E12C3B9D33820746E50
2. Rename stock hboot file to : PL83IMG.zip and place in the folder that contains your fastboot.exe file (On your computer)
3. Flash hboot.
after installation do the following -
adb devices (your device should be listed)
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices (your device should be listed)
fastboot oem writecid VZW__001 (2 underscores)
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot getvar cid (verify your stock CID)
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Kept on getting error 158 and couldn't change Hboot so i tried run the command to write the cid "fastboot oem writecid VZW__001" then ran the ruu again and it worked. Its wasn't working because the phone wasn't recognized because of the CID. I couldn't reply in that thread because i don't have 10+ posts. Please hit the thanks button if it works for you as well.
Its my second post so take it easy on me if its been covered already.
Not true. With supercid any RUU can be flashed.
I RUU'd two days ago with supercid. Hboot does need to be stock if using the HTC program to flash.

Changing the cid was only needed for the jtag or face palm methods...
