Gotta downgrade the hboot to 1.4 and main version to 1.13 to be able to run Revolutionary S-OFF
Not the easiest process but you can do it. Lucky for you I just finished rooting my sprint CDMA with hboot 1.58 with the help of a couple other members. So I put together a step by step summary of how to do it. It involves bricking the phone intentionally, then booting up to linux and running the downgrade tool through the linux terminal, then upgrading the main version to 1.13, running REVOLUTIONARY S-OFF, then finally reupgrading everything back to stock(hboot 1.58 and main version 2.95)
Here you go, good luck :

I saw a way going into Linux bit dang.. I'm so bad with Linux anymore haha I'll take a look at your link tho.. I think I have Ubuntu on a flash drive some were... I'll have to dig around for it.. Sucks because it was on a lower version an my dumb self was like oh I'll update it.. Then realized I screwed up and just shook my head in disgust...
Use URTLiveCD 1.0 which is included in unknownforce's thread. Just one boot disk tool, no ubuntu needed

so it looks as tho i cant write this to a cd because my cd drive i think is bad or what not ugh.. guess ill try my ubuntu way was there anything special you had to do while you were in ubuntu?
Yep you can do it through the ubuntu terminal. I did it this way too. You'll need to follow the instructions in unknown forces thread. Carry over the URT tool(ultimate.zip) to the home folder in ubuntu and run it through the ubintu terminal
Phone needs to be bricked before running URT

alright how were you able to get the phone to reconize in ubuntu it seems as to only want to be in charge mode :/ again sorry for all the noobish questions im sure it sounds like im asking hahaha and again thanks for all the help ! and also do i need ubuntu installed or can it be ran in trial mode from my usb as thats what im on at this moment in time
also edit i do have the ultimate in home folder as well at this time havnt ran it tho
EDIT: as i read more id like to update this as to make sure im reading this correctly so.. i must put the zip file on the root of my sd and start the procces pull batt before it flashes the file and boom if done correctly bricked.. from there i use the ubuntu terminal to run the ultimate program? now is there any special way my phone needs to be reconized to the pc for the prgram to work as it will be bricked and it wouldnt read right?

Did you brick the phone?
Yes you can use the trial version. You just need the linux terminal. When running the URT tool in linux, it will recognize the phone and give confirmation it has downgraded the bootloader...follow the instructions carefully in unknownforces downgrade thread

Pull power 4-5 seconds during the time when it says updating bootloader
Important to note; don't try and boot up regularly after downgrading with URT. As in just pressing power, you will get security warning and be back on hboot 1.58 and have to start all over again. Always vol down + power boot to the bootloader throughout the process.

It will take a few tries...you may have to brick a second time too, if URT didn't lower your main version as well. That's in step 3, you will need to check your main version before running the 1.13 RUU

It is a different PG86IMG file than the one he uses in the video. Smaller and lighter / less load time.
Be sure you are pulling the power at the time it is updated "bootloader" and not any other option in the list.

You may have a bad DL, Check your downloads against these MD5's. There's an off chance you may need to try a different usb cable.

Getting Started
Before you run the ROM Update Utility (RUU), make sure you have done the following:
• The correct PC driver for your Android phone has been installed.
• The Android phone is connected to your PC using the USB cable. The PC must recognize the Android phone.
• Standby or hibernation mode of your PC has been disabled.
• Close all running applications on the PC.
(MY Note: including Antivirus)
Important Do not interact with your Android phone unless the RUU wizard instructs you to do so.

USE ONLY FOR EMERGENCY PURPOSES. THIS OVERWRITES EVERYTHING!!!!
**THIS WILL RETURN YOU TO FRESH OUT OF THE BOX**
You will not need any special drivers loaded, etc...
1.Download the stock ROM ZIP image from here: and rename it "PG86IMG.zip"
2.Copy it to SD Card
3.Reboot phone into hboot mode by holding volume down and then press power.
Keep volume down held until you boot into hboot mode.
4.In hboot mode the phone will scan the SD card with the image. Once it finds it will ask you if you want to update. Press "Power" to update.
5.Wait.... For a while. When it gets to "system" it will loop a few times. Its quite nerve wracking actually but after about 5 or 6 times it will complete.
6.Once the entire flash is complete it will prompt you to "press power to reboot." Press power and your phone will reboot to 100% stock ROM.
7.Once the phone has been flashed you will need to set the secure flag on the radio for S-ON to do this use "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" Make sure you are in fastboot menu. To do this power down and hold power down while powering up and select fastboot. I have attached the fast boot and adb files to the post.

I'm sorry Embargho101, I don't quite understand where you're stuck. I'm happy to help. There are ISO burning instructions in post 3 (as well as instructions for doing the downgrade). You'll reboot your computer with the CD in your drive. This should boot up into the CD instead of Windows. If it doesn't, you may have to change the boot device or boot order on your computer. Typically, mashing down F12 while the computer is booting will bring up the boot menu. From there, you can select to boot from the CD-ROM drive. It does very from computer to computer though.

That's one of my major reasons for S-OFF. Flashing ROMs requires no extra magic on the to make it work. I can restore NANDroid backups from anywhere (Especially nice when Boot Manager doesn't like moving back to a ROM in another slot). You have the ability to flash radios. Oh, and also, if you haven't already unlocked your bootloader using HTC's method, they won't know that you unlocked.
Just for the sheer convenience of being able to flash ROMs without anything extra, it's worth it.

You need to boot into the CD. Before you boot into Windows, it'll give you the option to boot from another drive (on my desktop it's ESC, and on my laptop it's F12).

There are instructions in post #3 of my thread. If you follow them step-by-step, you should be fine. Please don't be turned off by what happened. I'm sorry.

I agree with closeone. His boot disk is the work around you need. If you cant burn the cd get you a usb thumb drive and boot from there. I unfortunately cant get the 2.17 to brick. Its saying it cant find the image but the PG86IMG.zip is in the root. Also before that its searching for another file. The sd card is in NTFS could this have something to do with it? I have tried multiple 2.17 RUUs so i dont think the image is corrupt...

I agree with closeone. His boot disk is the work around you need. If you cant burn the cd get you a usb thumb drive and boot from there. I unfortunately cant get the 2.17 to brick. Its saying it cant find the image but the PG86IMG.zip is in the root. Also before that its searching for another file. The sd card is in NTFS could this have something to do with it? I have tried multiple 2.17 RUUs so i dont think the image is corrupt...

Hi Ron. It's very possible that it being formatted NTFS is the issue. Generally, you'll format your smaller media as FAT32. Second reason may be because the zip file has been named PG86IMG.zip.zip. If you have 'show file extensions' turned off, then the file should just be named PG86IMG.

Thanks ill try reformatting it tomorrow when i get off work. I always keep my extensions shown so its only 1 zip so ill try fat32 and get back to ya tomorrow evening. Thanks a ton and great work!

I am assuming you are trying to gain s-off correct? If that's the case perhaps I can offer you a different solution. With this solution you won't have to downgrade your hboot. Here's a link to this guide. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1743466
Now before you attempt it you must have the prerequisites met:
Unlocked via HTC Dev method
On stock ROM
Have superuser root
A PC windows or Linux
Insulated wire (speaker wire, or a paperclip wrapped with electrical tape is good enough)
Make sure HTC sync and or iTunes are uninstalled so they won't interfere
You will follow method D on the guide for those who are on 1.53
Follow the directions step by step. Make sure you download the appropriate control bear based on what os, phone, and computer you are using.
Make sure you know what contact areas you need to touch. This is the wire trick BTW.
When you have everything set up run the exe file and when it prompts you. Touch both contacts at the same time.
It might take a few tries but it should work.

Yes I am tryin to gain S-OFF on my EVO 3D.
Unlocked via HTC Dev method: unlocked
On stock ROM: I would need a RUU correct? I downloaded one but the image version was lower than mine ( mine image version: 3.28.401.1 )
Have superuser root: i have
A PC windows or Linux : windows 7
Insulated wire (speaker wire, or a paperclip wrapped with electrical tape is good enough): sorii my englisch aint that good a picture would help
Make sure HTC sync and or iTunes are uninstalled so they won't interfere: never had HTC sync or Itunes
No you don't need a ruu if your already on stock. Your all good to go. There should be a picture of where to touch the contacts and a video if I'm not mistaken in unlimited.io's page where you find the evo 3d.

OK grab that ruu you were talking about and let's find out if we can get another link. I'll try pm the devs behind juopunut bear and see if they can post a link.
Edit: my mistake, you were referring about media fire. That's OK we can get the file from their website (hopefully) brb

Okay I got it on the site unlimited.IO
So I got the image version but cant determine which of the RUUs on our site is the correct one....because a lower one wont do nothing
Ok I found the link. http://unlimited.io/jb_shooteru.htm hopefully this will be it.
Edit: OK you got the control bear file. Are you branded? If so which carrier, if not just use the European ruu.

OK once you get the file. Remember to relock your boot loader first before flashing your ruu.
1. Power down you phone and put it in fast boot
2. Make sure USB debugging is enabled
3. Hook your phone up to your PC
4. Run cmd and type fastboot oem lock.
5. If the file is an exe you can run it on your PC after relocking.
6. If not place it on root of sdcard and rename it too PG86IMG in all caps
7. Boot into boot loader and let your phone pick up the update
8. Start and let the update finish
9. Unlock bootloader again
10. Flash recovery
11. Flash super user
Presto!! Now your ready to run wire trick. Good luck.

I will create a mirror on dev-host and add it to your thread when it's ready since that should be faster and not have the advertising and such that hotfile uses. I have a CDMA model myself but I know a lot of people have the European version of the GSM model.
Edit: NVM. There are already good mirrors here and here.

Nope. Its not necessary anymore. You've been set free kinda like the matrix lol. You can upgrade and downgrade your hboot with no hassles. Flash any gsm evo 3d rom you want. With the exception of cool sense you can be whatever hboot you want and on any sense or aosp ROM you want. Just remember to be on 1.49 to flash aosp roms.
Please don't forget to abuse my thank you button. I'm glad you got s-off. Happy flashing sir.
Edit: viper 3d is the only ROM I know that can be on any hboot. However I am not sure about the other ROMs. I'm CDMA so have no clue about gsm roms. I would make sure to know what hboots are compatible with whatever ROM your interested in before flashing. Sorry about yje confusion.
You should be ok to flash any rom in the gsm threads without any issues with hboot 1.49, I'm gsm with hboot 1.49, unlocked through revolutionary and s-off, I have yet to find a rom that will not boot ics 3.6,ics 4,ics 4.1, and jb
(Don't ask me for help as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh!
Okay so I have been trying to root and I have tried everything I can find.
I have a fully upgraded phone so Revolutionary won't work for me out of the box and so I am trying to HTCDev unlock.
The problem though, is that I can't get Windows 8.1 to recognize my device. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers multiple times trying to get it to work. ADB works fine and can see the Thunderbolt but fastboot will not.
Nothing I have found has changed anything.
I also have a laptop with Ubuntu, would that work better?
You need to do it from a Windows 7 or lower computer. In order for the bolt to be seen in fastboot on Windows 8 it would require an update to the fastboot drivers on the phone which is very very unlikely.

Would trying it in Ubuntu work? Although almost all the tutorials seem to assume you are doing it through Windows.

Yes it should. Although, to unlock, s off and root ics on the bolt revolutionary isn't going to work straight up. You will have to downgrade the hboot version in order to be fully unlocked.

The tutorial I am following is leading me through unlocking with HTCdev, and installing SuperUser, would I still have to downgrade and use Revolutionary?
Sorry, complete newb.

Before you continue with the tutorials can you verify what android version you have for me?

Android version 4.0.4
HTC Sense 3.6
hboot 1.08
If any of that helps.

That is exactly what I needed to know. You need to go to infectedrom.com and use the guide that is there to unlock and s off. The problem with what you posted earlier is that even if you unlock with HTCdev your hboot is going to prevent revolutionary from working. You have to downgrade your hboot in order to use Revolutionary.

Can you give me a direct link? Because the one I was using last night from InfectedROM was just walking me through the htcdev unlock.
Edit: I found it...seems it has me load different things from the other one I was following.
It's the Lt. Belspur post. But I finally got fastboot to work! So it's looking promising. Thank you very much.

I see where you're stuck now. You can do it in Ubuntu but you may get stuck at some point. I would definitely recommend doing it using Windows 7.

Wrong forum. You should ask in the Kindle fire forums because I haven't owned one or even handled one in person for that matter. It might would help if you were on newer than xp. Vista at least. Idk though

Edit: I missed your other post, but that is exactly the tutorial I've been following. I'm near the end...see the following problem. :/
Okay, so I'm almost to the end...I'm to the point of putting the .19 ROM on my sd card and loading it into hboot.
What happens is that it recognizes it, loads it, checks it, and then goes back to hboot.
The suggestions from the post I am following say to try reformatting the SD card, or a different image. I have done both. Any other suggestions?
And by the way, thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate it.

Make sure you don't have the file named PG05IMG.zip.zip
Windows, by default, hides well known file extensions, so it may have gotten zip attached to it twice, one of which is not visible.
So remove the visible ".zip" extension and try again...

Done. Still the same result. Goes through loading the file, checking the file, and then just back to hboot.
I'm having the same issue. Does anyone have a GOOD copy of this Zip?
