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
which ecalos

HI all! I want to know if downgrading HBOOT 1.53.007 is possible.
Before I did the OTA update I was able to downgrade my 1.49.0018 HBOOT to 1.49.007 using this method and to easily get S-OFF and unlock bootloader(http://mess-hall.co.uk/2012/04/rooting-htc-evo-3d-hboot-1-49-0018/).Also it was very easy for me to obtain S-ON and LOCKED using this guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1710033).
Now my question/s.If I do the same thing to this 1.53.007 HBOOT(put the PG86IMG.zip in the root of the sdcard and open phone in fastboot and let it flash):
1.will it downgrade my device to 1.49.007?
2.will it brick my device?
Can you suggest something else?I mean I want to obtain S-OFF and an unlocked bootloader BUT NOT WITH htcdev.com method.
THANKS!!!
1. No
2. No
I don't think there is a way without htcdev. I had to do it last night and searched all over for an alternative. I tried what you are suggesting as well, but it runs through the flash process in bootloader then nothing.
I bit the bullet in the end and went htc dev followed by the wire trick on io. Got hboot unlocked then soff then flashed an old stock to get hboot 1.47. Just in case I accidentally s-on at some point!

Ok, so i wanted to downgrade my hboot so i can get s-off using revolutionary's method.
I followed exactly the same steps listed on this website http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-3d-hacks/how-to-downgrade-to-hboot-1-49-0007-on-htc-evo-3d-gsm/ (You might already know this guy) and it didn't went really good to be honest..
It didn't downgrade my hboot and atm my phone is Relocked and i have no clue how to unlock it as it was before. Because of that i can't exit out of bootloader nor go to recovery.
Looking forward to your suggestions (My device was rooted and unlocked before i did this and i had hboot 1.53.0007)
Thats actually flashmaniacs tool which doesnt downgrade 1.53 hboot. your only option is to do the wire trick. follow the steps on this thread:

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.

Harmonia ROM working for me.
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.

Hi Guys,
I have a HTC Evo 3D GSM with HBOOT 1.48.0005
I did a lot of searching but I didn't find anything useful for my HBOOT version.
Revolutionary (revolutionari dot io) solution works for 1.49.0007
Higher HBOOT needs to be downgraded to 1.49.0007, but what about lower versions? I didn't want to risk do anything stupid so I didn't try that. I looked at the HBOOT downgrade solutions so maybe I can use it to upgrade, but those solutions need an unlocked bootloader. I tried unlocking my bootloader with HTCdev, but when I flash my unlock code the bootloader unlock confirmation page doesn't pop up on my phone. (Maybe because of the old HBOOT/software, I found other ppl with 1.48.0005 who had the same problem.) The last solution could be updating the phone in the 'legal' way, but I'm afraid it would make S-off impossible/extra hard. So anyone has any experience with 1.48.0005 HBOOT? Please help me! Thanks!
Don't see a problem upgrading if revolutionary can s-off 1.49.0007, also can always downgrade hboot.

Problem solved!
I just upgraded to an official(?) 1.49.0007
Before the upgrade I changed my CID to HTC__001 (I thought it's not possible with locked bootloader but it worked, my CID was HTC11111 before)
I used this zip file: downloadandroidrom dot com/file/HTCEvo3D/hbootdowngrade/Free%203VO_V2.zip there is a rom.zip file inside, just renamed that to PG86IMG.zip and put it in the root of my SD. It upgraded me to 1.49.0007 and after i just simply used Revolutionary to go S-off.
I hope this helps if someone finds an EVO 3D under a rock which still has HBOOT 1.48.0005 and wants to go S-off.
And thanks for the answer, I'm not sure if you suggested something like this, or to go to the newest HBOOT and downgrade from there, but I was trying to keep things simple.

JuopunutBear S-OFF possible with yoda's ics ??? my evo is GSM
as they says they only support stock rom...
??
I think it might, not sure how JuopunutBear s-off works. You will need to test and find out.
Juoponutbear after boot don't found any drivers on yoda's ics, so doesn't works.
It should work on Yodas ics, do you have all drivers (fastboot,adb) properly installed?
Sent from my Evo 3D.
Yes, of course. Tried on Win 8; Win 7 and XP. Without changes. All going fine, when phone boots with Juopunut boot image, computer saw phone only like mass storage device, not adb, not fastboot. But before all was working - adb commands, fastboot flash and reboot commands.
EDITED: I think there are need something else drivers, but I don't know directly whitch ones.
