This procedure applies to both flyers and view
Required downloads
First download the Gingerbread RUU for your device from this thread.
If you don't have adb and fastboot on your PC
Get fastboot and adb tool for windows here
Get Fastboot and adb for linux here
I don't have a simple bundde for Mac, would welcome a link if anyone has one.
Download my universal misc_version and unzip to obtain the misc_version file.
Download tacoroot
Place both the misc_version and tacoroot.bin files in the same directory as adb
Procedure
Check the version number for your gingerbread RUU
In my example I am using this RUU: RUU_Flyer_HTC_WWE_2.00.405.3_R_Radio_20.3501.30.08 9BU_3809.05.04.10_M_release_194964_signed.exe
The version is the part highlighted in red.
Boot your flyer up to android if it's not already on, with usb debugging enabled and connect it to the PC.
Run the following adb commands
Code:
adb push tacoroot.bin /data/local
adb push misc_version /data/local
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tacoroot.bin
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/misc_version
adb shell /data/local/tacoroot.bin --setup
At this point your device will reboot to recovery
Simultaneously press Volume Up, Volume Down and Power
Reboot your device
Run the following command
Code:
adb shell /data/local/tacoroot.bin --root
Your device will reboot, do not worry if it does not boot fully, it doesn't matter for this procedure, and it is a side effect of this root exploit.
Run the following command:
Code:
adb shell /data/local/misc_version -s [COLOR="Red"]2.00.405.3[/COLOR]
Note that the number in RED is the version number retrieved in step 1.
Reboot to fastboot:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Run your RUU ( if on linux or mac, see other similar threads from me on how to RUU on those OSes )
Special Thanks
jcase for providing the tacoroot.
Nice release globatron! I was actually looking at Tacoroot for this last night but didn't really want to go into it too much and decided against using it. Glad to see I wasn't the only one with the idea for it though.
heh, Gave jcase the updated misc_version so he has it on the github radme for tacoroot already but didn't want to release the procedure until I has actually tested misc_version to run on at least a few HTC emmc devices and with multiple version string lengths.
Even if you didn't release this today, I probably would have started on it tonight, I'm a bored teenager with too much time. Still, keep up the good work. If you want me to make a script for you or anything, let me know and I'll get to work on it. (also, you know you can actually have adb from the recovery so you dont need to hit the buttons on it, just have it wait then adb reboot (or even adb shell reboot))
Of course I know that but that's not the what the buttons is about here.
What are the points of the button?
Sent by breaking the sound barrier
To ensure with absolute certainty that a log will be created.
Ah, you want the button presses to be logged to ensure it's done the job. Alright, fair enough.
Glad to TacoRoot in use!
Thanks for the spice jcase, just realized I had a typo in the procedure....jcase *provided*, not tested (well that too), tacoroot.

is the typo msc_version being misc_version
thanks Kevin, fixed that.
yep, didnt notice it until someone tried to do my procedure today lol... copy and paste my friend lol. Plus I just need to know one thing. This brings you down to GB but still keeps you locked right? You still technically have to use HTC unlock to bring it back to 1.13.000 correct?
Part1: correct, you've never unlocked if you do this.
Part2: No, you don't have to unlock at all during this procedure.
so to go from the 1.14 hboot to 1.13 u dont need to htc unlock?

the download link takes me to the flyer RUU, i understand the view & flyer are the same except the 3g/4g network on the View. i just want to make sure i download the correct RUU for my View. what verision do i need? this one "RUU_Express_Sprint_WWE_1.22.651.1_Radio_1.05.11.0531_NV_2.28_SPCS_release_198141_signed.exe"

That one is fine. Express is the board name or the view so an RUU with express (not expresskt) in the name is what you need.
Hello, thanks for the downgrade help. Upgraded to honeycomb and hated it so I followed your instructions and everything went exactly as described until the middle of the RUU upgrade itself where it stopped and gave me an
ERROR[140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR
The ROM Update utility cannot update your android phone
Please get the correct ROM update utility and try again.
It won't successfully reboot now. When I go back to bootloader mode the recover screen shows

used RUU_Express_Sprint_WWE_1.22.651.1
Its completely stock, was notified of the new update by htc and installed it over wifi. Thanks in advance for any help
What appears to have happened here is that somewhere along the way something didn't work fully and you failed to set the version to the same as or lower than the RUU you used.
I would need to see the output of :
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main
to be absolutely certain of this. If that is the case then becasue you are completely stock the best course of action would be for you to return it for repair. Tell the technical support people that this happened when you tried to take the OTA update to HoneyComb. The alternative will require you to use the HTC unlock.
I tried a while ago to unlock my bootloader using HTCDev when it first came out, would get to the part where the confirmation screen should pop up on your phone screen to unlock the bootloader but the screen never showed after multiple attempts, so frustrated, I gave up and told my self I'd come back later. Well later came around a few days ago and I attempted to unlock the bootloader again with the same results as the first time, get to the point where I'm supposed to confirm on my phone screen but it never shows. Did some research to find out the OTA version of the update to ICS could have possibly been the problem, but before I went any further I did a full backup of my phone using Carbon, then did a factory reset from the fastboot menu. Now the problem is, after I did the factory reset my computer no longer recognizes my phone when I plug it in. It can't find HTC sync on my computer even though it is, adb devices shows nothing, same with fastboot devices in fastboot mode. My computer recognized the phone just fine up until the factory reset. So I guess my question is, what caused this to happen and how can I fix it? Also, maybe some help unlocking my bootloader? I think I have to flash the RUU but my phone is 2.95.651 and I don't think it lets you go backwards unless you are S-OFF?
Edit: I guess I should mention that I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the HTC drivers, usb debugging is enabled and Fast Boot in the power options is disabled, I'm also using the USB cord supplied with my phone, tried different USB ports, performed a second factory reset, made sure all my SDK stuff was up to date, and scoured these forums for 2 days now trying to figure it out (apologies if I missed the one thread with all the answers I need, I did try though). Additionally, in fastboot when I plug in my USB cord it switches to fastboot usb, but nothing shows up on devices, which I find really odd.
Anybody have any ideas/solutions for this?
Yep,

I used srs root to gain a root shell followed scotty85's instructions to set mainver low via adb shell then used the brick downgrade hboot method and followed it up with 1.13 ruu and finished with revolutionary
Post #50 is my instructions and scotty85 are a few posts back
Ok, so I got it... kind of. What I did was try the above method with no luck but I ended up using wraith's temproot and scotty's mainver workaround from above then while it was still in it's temproot state I was able to flash a 2.89 RUU, and after that I was unable to unlock the bootloader through HTCdev. Now on to actually root/s-offing it ^ ^

Do 2.89 and 2.95 both use the same hboot?

I'm not sure if they use the same hboot or not. I was able to flash 2.89 RUU in the temproot state on hboot 1.58.0000. After the flash I retried unlocking the bootloader through HTCdev and it worked flawlessly. Then I was able to root it and juopnutbear s-off, which applied juopnutbear hboot 1.58.5858. It seems like temprooting the phone using your method and flashing a 2.89 RUU might be the workaround for people who have trouble using HTCdev due to the OTA update.
I should also mention someone suggested this method on phandroid forums (scott actually, I believe) on a different thread and so I tried it. I was going to link his post here but I haven't met the link post requirement yet. So as a disclaimer, this isn't my idea, it just worked so I posted here.
Now that I'm home from work I figured I could give a more detailed list of what I did to root my Evo 3D, I feel the information above gets a little confusing with so many different places to go. As previously stated I had trouble unlocking my bootloader using HTCdev, it would get to the step where you confirm on your phone the unlock but never show up, I found this was usually caused by updating your phone to ICS using the OTA as compared to an RUU. Somehow something gets messed up and your phone never wants to confirm, hopefully this will help people who don't want to brick/downgrade hboot in order to be able to root their phones but can't unlock from HTCdev do to this error. Anyway, on to it.
1. Download SRSRoot
A 2.89 RUU
The files from [Guide] Quick And Dirty Evo 3D/V Root & S-OFF (Sprint and Virgin Mobile Only)
2. Run SRSRoot
3. SmartRoot
4. Follow the steps until your phone restarts and you just have a status bar at the top (this is your 'temproot')
5. Close SRSRoot (you may have to kill in the task manager, or at least I did to get it to completely quit mid-steps)
6. Navigate to the folder where the files from the 'QnD' guide and open the cmd link in the Root folder.
7. Type, or copy & paste the following in order (not the stuff in brackets like this, these are notes);
adb devices (should return your phones serial number, indicating drivers are working, and you're connected)
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell (should change your prompt to a #, if not, have your phone awake and watch the screen to grant superuser permissions when you enter su (not likely applicable here))
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version (have your phone awake and be watching it, in case superuser needs you to grant permission (again, not likely applicable))
/data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.00.000.0
exit (exit again if your prompt changes to a $)
8. Run your 2.89 RUU exe (it should run and reinstall 2.89 to stock, you may lose information, unsure about that though, so back ups are always recommended)
9. Restart your phone after the install if it doesn't happen automatically
10. Retry unlocking using HTCdev method
Hopefully at this point the bootloader actually unlocks for you and you can start at Step 2 of the 'QnD' guide to get root access and S-Off.
Big thanks to thewraith420 for the temproot method and scotty85 over at phandroid for the mainver change directions.
The reason I asked if 2.89 used the 1.58 hboot is just to further understand why it worked I think that setting the mainver is what let you run the ruu. And it didn't complain about the hboot because they use the same one. Nicely done getting the info together.

I was encountering the same issue as you for the HTC bootloader unlock, so thanks so much for this info, it worked like a charm. It might be helpful for others to know that you can find the misc_version referenced by downloading the file scotty85 mentions in his post on guide-how-manually-downgrade-firmware-build-6-01-605-05 (Sorry, I'm unable to post the link)

Hello guys,
I apologise if I have created a duplicate thread for this issue-but I HAVE looked everywhere to find a solution to this. I am not a 100% expert so please excuse me if I am being a time-wasting nerd.
However, in a few words, the problem I am having is:
I bought HTC DROID DNA (from the states-brand new) and I managed to unlock the bootloader (S-Off) using the info from these threads and for some really silly reason I decided and managed to relock it. Now it is showing ''Relocked'' and ''S-ON''.
I have tried everything I could find so far to unlock the bootloader (i.e. S-Off) (rumrunner,moonshine, traditional method(since I ve got the original unlock token)).
Can anyone please, please let me know how to S-Off as I would like to install a custom ROM since I can't get any updates in the UK-(which I don't see coming anytime soon anyway.)
Thanks very much.

Thanks for that. I did try that, and now it says '' Tampered'' and ''Relocked'' and ''S-ON''. I don't understand why this is happening.
I had a similar issue. To resolve, I used the PC to RUU back to stock then started over with firewater.
Good luck.

You need to use the same bin file after ruu.
But I think firewater should work too.
I used firewater on 4 phones. I only had problems when I missed a step. Try again from the beginning. From stock after ruu.

I used firewater on 4 phones. I only had problems when I missed a step. Try again from the beginning. From stock after ruu.

Hi Icyman, That is what I did, I flashed the original RUU and then deactivated fast reboot, enabled debug. mode, installed weaksauce-1.01 and finally went ahead with firewater. (device always hungs with firewater in the end and I have to hold the power button down for 60s as it says-not sure if that makes a difference)
Will try again as you suggest though.
I really appreciate your help. Thanks very much.

I never used weaksauce on DNA. Maybe that's the problem.

That's the only way I can apply temproot and then firewater, I can't find the original temproot file anywhere and I thought that weaksauce is the updated version of the temproot file. If you could send me the temproot file somehow that would be great,-just to see if it could work...
Any further advice guys? Please?!!! I've got this phone but the outdated software makes it useless.
So, im stuck at the phase where rumrunner kept pouring shots and after 7 tries it stated to run it again. i know it said it doenst work on all custom rom, and i running stock rooted rom ( does that mean its custom rom?). is that the reason rumrunner wont run for my sprint htc one max phone?
i tried firewater and it also didnt S-off my phone.
im running android 4.4.2 with hboot 2.49
tampered unlocked and custom rooted stock rom.
