As far as I know you cant s-off hboot 1.02, besides, there is no need to, as you can pretty much do everything needed anyhow.
Your trying to install an ruu, so you need to re-lock hboot again.
From memory reboot into bootloader, connect phone to computer, select fastboot mode, in cmd mode on pc goto where fastboot.exe is and then type fastboot OEM lock.
Just double check that before doing it, the instructions were included in the unlocking email from htcdev.

dear i did relock but when flashing ruu it gives error 131
Ok, I searched google on your behalf
Error 131 means you are trying to install an ruu not ment for the region of your phone, the solution is to either install the correct Rom for the region of your phone or make a goldcard, however at this point the website to make goldcard is not running.
There is however a backdoor to make goldcard that might work, look in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41527043 and have a read.

in the hboot after loading zip nothing happened why?
i got now CID incorrect
What what what? Isn't that an ruu, you run it on a windows pc with phone connected, it's not a Rom you flash with recovery or legeimg.zip

Dear all,
First of all, this is not my work. This is just a compilation of all the information i have obtained from various threads and the members of XDA. I claim no credit but just wanted to write this for all who wishes to get back to stock ROM (like myself) either for Backup purposes or Warranty cases. Using the HTC method to unlock the bootloader has given me hell such as Wifi error and stuffs. So here it is
Special thanks to Monx for showing me the idea on how to do this.
1. Create a Goldcard (use a spare Micro SD in the phone after formatting with FAT 32) and follow the instructions below
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-make-gold-card-for-htc-desire-hd/
* Instructions may be for Desire HD but it can be used too for our EVO
* Only Procedure 3 is different as all u need to do is use the Goldcard helper
App to copy the Reverse CID to clipboard
2. RELOCK your Bootloader (STEP 14) if its unlocked using HTC method below
http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/unlock-instructions/page-4
3. Download your original RUU ROM from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208485
4. Extract the ROM.ZIP file from the RUU ROM that you downloaded
One method of doing this is here
http://lukasz.szmit.eu/2010/04/extracting-rom-files-from-htc-android.html
5. Once you have copied out the ROM.zip file, rename it to PG86IMG.zip
6. Copy this PG86IMG.ZIP file into the Root directory on your GOLDCARD
7. Power down your phone and with the Goldcard still in
8. Go into Bootloader (Hold POWER + Vol Down)
9. Phone will auto detect the PG86IMG.ZIP, extract and then ask permission to flash. Select "YES" ....or course
10. Once its done...you got your STOCK ROM back. However your bootloader will still show "RELOCKED"
Buy me a COKE or a mere THANKS if you find this useful
Thanks for the great tutorial

Do you have list of CID? I think its possible to change, lets say for example, from UK CID to GER CID to be able to get OTA updates and other things.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think goldcarding is required for this.
Maybe just a fastboot command?
fastboot oem writecid 11111111

But where is instruction for re-lock bootloader?
(10. Once it’s done...you got your STOCK ROM back. However your bootloader will still show "RELOCKED")
Still "RELOCKED" we wanted show "locked"

Are u sure we can claim the warranty if the bootloader shows RELOCKED?

Did you use Revolution to get S-Off ? Not sure if running it again gives you the option. Afraid I didn't get the privilege to test this method as Revolutionary did does not support my bootloader yet
Yep revolutionnary...

So did you retry Revolutionary to see if its reversible?
Another suggestion is to just run the RUU to see what happens
I think that if you flash the RUU, then you have S-ON (it shows LOCKED), but if i remember well, it shows also revolutionary in the recovery. I did that almost a month ago, so i cant remember only if it shows revolutionary or not. For the S-ON (Locked) i am sure
What if i dont have mmc2? i only have mmc0 and mmc1 =/
Just create as per default

Did you create the Goldcard correctly?
Btw...if your phone is not unlocked..why not just try running the RUUXXXX.exe ?
Yes , I am sure i have created the gold card correctly .
And I try to lunch the rXXX.exe directly but it is failed . Because the program for the middleast edition phones .

hello ppl,
Wanted to unlock the bootloader from the htc dev website, i download the RRU and try and install. everything works fine but at a particular step it says i have not got the latest version 3.x.x.xx. is there a way around this? any help much appretiated. thanks
Is the RUU they provide properly installed? This is priority no1 for the rest to work. Have htcSync installed. Follow each step carefully and wirh care then it should work.
HTC Legend
S-on, bootloader unlocked (htcdev)
AOKP ICS 4.04
dude, everything is setup fine but during the RUU installation, at the last step there is a version mismatch error and it asks for an upgraded RUU. my question is is this because i have a custom rom istalled.
If you are using the ruu hboot update from htcdev then yes that's why you got error.
If your rooted and custom rom use blay0s method, most who have done it say it works.

use blay0's method.
for step 3 you can to go task manager processes, right click on ARUWizard > open file location.
ROM.zip will be in that folder. then continue from step 4.
i've attached the ROM.zip I copied out of there (renamed to LEGEIMG.zip). This is from the Vodafone AU RUU from the htcdev.com/bootloader/ruu-downloads page, but I think they are all the same.
rom.zip for vodafone UK
could someone please upload the rom.zip for vodaphone uk. i am unable to locate it on my system when i run the rru update.

I read I had to update the ROM before I could root. I have tried so many things but nothing seems to be working.
It seems because it is a Vodafone Legend.

all explained from the title, recently, my htc sensation screen became dimmed and i having a hard time using it, then i got my mother's evo 3d as a replacement
i want an advice in s-off and downgrading my hboot from 1.53.0007 to 1.49xx , so that i could install and try kitkat and many other rom :good:
1. currently i am already un-locked and rooted my evo 3d
2. if i want to downgrade my hboot, should i s-off my phone first ? wire trick by junoputbear right ? or is there any other way to s-off my 1.53.0007 other than wire tricking it ?
3. in wire trick method, im having a hard time deciding the right tools for doing this, i have a win 7 installed os laptop and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1507616 that rom installed in my evo, it is said that i have to be on stock rom, could i just do this on that rom or should i flash other rom ? if its not possible, could anyone show me the right rom ?
4. if and if only i've done all that s-off stuff and so, could i use this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1906172 to downgrade my hboot ?
and after that it will be a yadda yadda yadda piece of cakey for me to flashing rom right ?
i'm sorry for my bad languages, trying my best here >.<
The wire trick is what you need to do. On the juopunut Homepage there is a link to a Linux live CD. With this you wont have trouble with drivers, just follow the instructions on their page. Aftwards downgrading hboot will be easy.
Two beer or not two beer, that's the question
i dont really get it, should i change my rom first or not ? in junopoutbear its recommended to 'verify - You are on Stock RUU (not FreshROM, Stock Rooted, HarmonyROM - none of these will work!)'
I had a same situation with you. So RUU is the package to install a stock rom through a pc. Here you can find RUUs. According on your bootloader you own gsm evo and you must download a Shooter_U ics for your area provided on the link. In order to run the ruu you must relock the device in fastboot with "fastboot oem lock" command. After the ruu finishes you can unlock the bootloader again and do the unlimited.io procedure. If your evo is vodafone branded (like mine) your cid blocks the ruu and you cant flash, for this situation I suggest you to flash Yoda ICS and do the unlimited.io procedure, I did it with Yoda.

Before installing ruu try the wire trick with your current configuration.
Just follow the instructions on juopunutbear page.
You may need several attempts to get the right timing.

how to flash RUU .zip file on my unlock evo
My Desire X cannot be unlocked from the htc dev website after relocking. I could get into the bootloader of the desire x and can get the Identifier Token from the fastboot however after submitting the token to the htc dev website, it returned back an error 150 , Extract Token Information Fail. Previously i was s-on but used the rumrunner to s-off. However i accidentally s-on again and relocked the bootloader. And now i cant get the bootloader to be unlocked. Any help will be great.
try this tool http://www.kingoapp.com/htc-bootloader-unlock.htm
I forget to add in that i can only get into the bootloader only. I cant get into the rom as it keeps rebooting back to the bootloader. Thanks for the program but i cant get the program to identify my phone because im connected in fastboot only.

juopunutbear will work, stay on stock rooted rom for the procedure, then patience is all you need
So something finally changed. I Used UnknownForce method to brick my device
I got now 1.49.0007 but without a ruu, everytime i wanted to install with ruu, it says that Error 131
I also tried to change cid but didn't work
Also tried the fastboot mode to push stock GB PG86IMG.zip on it, then it says CID ERROR and tried to change supecid or HTC__001 mode but i doesn't work. Allways errors
Press power to exit and like that. i can be only in bootloader, fastboot mode and recovery mode
With hboot 1.49.0007 you should be able to s-off with revolutionary.io
Afterwards install recovery.img in fastboot mode (4ext recommendet).
Then you free to flash any rom in recovery.
and when you'll s-off with rivolutionary you'll be able to flash unsigned/incompatible ruu
i can't do the rev.io thing. it says to install drivers but adb/fastboot works
adb is acting weird too, when i switch off my phone then connect usb, pc says that htc is connected and adb says device is offline.
fastboot works in fastboot mode
i think when i did Ultimate recovery Tool thing, it sayed to install stock GB ROM but i cant install
Ah yes, I think I remember.
For revolutionary you need a running rom.
AFAIK ruu error 131 means you have the wrong ruu for your phone (cid error).
Run "fastboot oem getvar all" in fastboot mode to get the infos for the matching gb ruu (carrier, hboot version, baseband).

and check that the ruu is for SHOOTER_U and not for SHOOTER (CDMA version)! maybe you have wrong version, and phone is just saving itself from bricking :fingers-crossed:
