A while ago, I followed a root method I found here so that I could pair my DualShock3 controller to my phone and it worked successfully.
Then after a few months, I started getting messages about wanting to update my phone, but the install provided from Sprint always failed. I typically just ignored the System Update messages because everything worked fine exactly the way I wanted it to. Then about a week ago, the reminders increased in frequency, like once a hour. I though, hey, lets go back to factory and update, then I can root again. So I went into the recovery of the phone and found the option for Factory Reset under the "Wipe" Menu. I hit the button, but it apparently also wiped some things off the ROM. Now, when I try to boot the phone, It just sits at the HTC logo.
I can still access the bootloader and the custom recovery, and I even found what looks to be the right ROM Version and moved it to the phone, but it appears that the ROM I downloaded is for S-OFF bootloaders only. The problem now is, that I cannot find any instructions that work for the older version in obtaining S-OFF with my phone. So, can someone please help me in getting my phone updated, either S-ON or S-OFF, I just want my DualShock to work at the end and have my phone usable, which it currently is not.
Here are the vitals.

I guess, what I really may need is the S-ON stock image for H-BOOT 1.19.0000, but every time I find a link, its dead. Does anyone know where I can find this? That way I can at least get back into my phone to attempt to figure out how to update it again.
Hit the link below. It's the 3.17 RUU. Afterwards, you can root your phone again with HTC Dev. I also suggest gaining S-off.

Hey all,
I've been trying to figure out whether my phone can be rooted/s-off.
From my understanding of processes I think I've screwed myself with an OTA but figured I would ask this anyways.
In my Hboot screen it claims I have HBoot- 1.12.0000 which from everything I've read has the ability to achieve S-off.

Now the problem comes in since I accepted the OTA that put my phone's version to 1.22.651.3 710RD
From what I've read I'll be unable to root without using HTC's dev system.
So my questions are these:
1. Can I achieve root without using HTC's system? (From what I've read the answer is no, but hey no harm in asking it’s the q&a section after all. XD )
2. If not can I use HTC's system can I still achieve S-off?
3. If not do you think there will be a chance to see a root that doesn't use HTC's method?
4. If I can still achieve S-off using HTC's system can I then revert my phone to a RUU of 1.22.651.1 and reroot it from there?
Bonus questions:
5. From what I've read it seems like I'm unable to use RUUs unless I'm already rooted/s-offed but I'll ask it anyways can I use a RUU to restore back to 1.22.651.1 without rooting or being s-offed?
6. Can I perform a factory reset on the phone to get the phone to revert to version 1.22.651.1? (I'm assuming no here or everyone would've done it already. XD)
7. If yes, can I then use the non-HTC system to root my phone followed by s-offing my phone?
Thank you for your time.

you should search the lazypanda thread to see if v1.22.651.3 will work or go to unlimited.io

If your hboot is 1.12 you're good to go for s-off. Weird that you still have 1.12 after taking the ota though. I'd say go ahead and go for it...the worst that could happen is it won't recognize your phone or you soft brick and have to run the unbricker. That happened to me but I was back up and running in a few minutes.
Once you're s-off, you can flash any base you want...and firmware as well. Just avoid flashing older firmware than what you're currently running since others have bricked from doing that.
If s-off doesn't work for you, you can still htc dev unlock and be able to flash roms and kernels from any base. You just won't be able to flash firmware. RegawMOD should do the trick, just make sure to read about when to manually reboot the phone if you decide to go that route.

So After Rooting i made some changes in the rom to fix the facebook problem and it completely ruined it ! and now facebook is working again in the normal rom .,but not working with me .,so i want to get back to the stock status and install new unrooted stock g.b rom
so i tried to follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19339909&postcount=1 and i understood all the procedures but i can't get an hboot downgrade to 1.10.0000 and i don't know from where to get it + i don't really know where to get a stock rom that is compatible
Please i know i'm a noob and probably will be a huge pain in the ass but please someone help me ...,as this matter killing me !!
That hboot number looks weird, you sure its right? Did you do anything besides the S-Off procedure that changed your hboot (S-Off should not have changed that, I don't believe).
I'm assuming you didn't to a nandroid backup through Clockworkmod before messing with the ROM? If you did, just restore it. If not, you should always always always do a nandroid before messing with the ROM and/or doing any mods.
I don't see how returning to S-on is going to help your case at all. Its just a flag that basically allows all security measure to be bypassed. Going back to S-On isn't going to fix the mistakes you made, doesn't get you anything you don't already have, and will actually limit your options. I don't recommend it for that reason.
You can try to flash the stock rooted GB ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1175589
Normally I'd say to just run the correct RUU for your current hboot/firmware. But if you hboot version is messed up, that might be easier said than done.
GSM version. I was originally trying to solve my 'wifi-wont turn on' problem, ended up trying to flash a custom ROM, which meant I had to perform the S-OFF wire trick, which was a pain in the ass, but successful.
Right now I'm at the following specs, and no idea how to continue. No matter what I do seems to leave me in the same place. Ive tried multiple ROMs now and every time I try to upgrade/downgrade the hboot or the radio it gives me "model ID incorrect" and reboot.

Ultimately plan on putting a data-only SIM in and mounting it in my car. Don't make me use my Xperia Play instead!
[edit]Forgot to mention I have the PG86310, which after some googling indicates is a bad thing
i dont know about the the PG86310 but you could try using this method to downgrade hboot. then wipe data+caches in recovery and flash a custom rom
Okay I successfully downgraded my hboot to 1.49.008 using a combination of the above link, and files from the original Rogers RUU. I was able to boot the stock ROM and re-unlock my device. I'm now at HBoot 1.49.008, unlocked, S-Off
Stock ROM wifi,bluetooth,gps not working
Tried a 4.2.2 custom ROM (it booted this time!!) and wifi, bluetooth, gps not working.
Dang, this phone never had hardware problems, hoping its something stupid i'm overlooking
First and foremost, I want to apologize for this, but I have a phone that was given to me and was told it was rooted and unlocked (now it says "Relocked") and I need to get it updated to the newest version of android available. I have tried following guides and such, but since I didn't unlock and root this phone originally, I have no idea where to start to get it either updated or sent back to the original factory settings so I can update via OTA.
I downloaded the OTA update, but when it starts, it just goes to a blue triangle with an exclamation point.
I tried installing the RUU that I found for the updated version, but it says it cannot find the phone via USB. I know that the drivers should be working fine because fastboot does communicate with the phone.
here is all the details that I know about the phone.
HTC Evo 3D - Sprint Network
when entering recovery mode, this is what is on the screen:

And then the hboot menu.
I'm having trouble locating all the correct files and a decent tutorial to get this updated to ice cream sandwich. Everyone that I find either has broken links or is an overall guide and doesn't seem to fit.
Lastly, I have NEVER rooted or unrooted an android phone before, so please bear with many stupid questions.
Thanks!
Hi all,
I have been using my Rezound running Plain Andy as a wifi only single purpose device to play Pokemon Duel. This worked fine until I tried to do a software reboot the other day, and the device wouldn't come back up. I was only able to get into fastboot and recovery.
Being less than wise, I went through a series of steps that I cannot fully recount. My first hiccup was that I could not mount /cache, etc. and every attempt to flash anything was failing. I tried going through any number of recoveries to see if any would resolve my problems. Nothing seemed to be making any difference.
Most of the old threads that I was reading were pointing to flashing an RUU. I resisted doing this for some time, but I was unable to work around it. Everything said that I had to be S-on to flash an RUU, so I relocked.
Now, I think that I made a big mistake there, because I cannot unlock with the normal process. Every attempt fails. I suspect that this might have to do with my device being in a non-standard state that the website will not generate accept a token from. Perhaps this is mistaken.
My current state is:
*** RELOCKED ***

Sep 20 2012,17:40:22
Recovery is PhilZ Touch 6.19.3 Clockwork Mod 6.0.4.7
I feel like I have made wrong turns at every step. If I am not mistaken, this recovery makes charging not work properly in a power-off state. Also, this HBOOT (same as mainver?) prevents me from running any available RUU. Finally, my current state does not seem to be allowing me to unlock my device again.
I hope that someone is still around who is able to help me. I saw one thread discussing using a shell into the system to modify the mainver, but the last thing I want to do is go one more step in the wrong direction before I seek help. I fear it may already be too late.
Thank you in advance for any assistance.
