[HTC EVO 3D] Crackanug:
This is what I have been working on for the last couple months. Downgrading is possible on 1.5 hboot if you are downgrading to a rom that has 1.5 hboot. You can alter the 1.5 hboot all you want in a rom, but it breaks whatever signature HTC has signed the zip with. The only way to alter the hboot would be directly on the phone, and it is fairly well protected at this point to prevent that. So right now it is trial and error with different methods to gain access to the hboot partition.
[HTC EVO 3D] edufur:
This is why it took so long to HTC to give us the unlock. It is because they were actually spending their time on creating the extra special lock. I made a thread about this back at that time and everyone called me a troll are said I was a government conspiracy theorist.

This is the reason though that my next phone will be a Samsung.
[HTC EVO 3D] davidv001:
I have a simple solution! lets kidnap one of the developers that helped make that 1.5 hboot and make him tell us how to break it! So pay for my ticket to Taiwan and I'll do every ones dirty work! lol
[HTC EVO 3D] mteezey:
LOL. I've been searching some forums from China to try to find some answers. I use Google chrome browser to translate. If we find someone that works for HTC and dangle that cash in front of him we might have the solution.
[HTC EVO 3D] Crackanug:
User USSENTERNCC1701E and I have been collaborating about methods we have tried and are working on. I wish it was as simple as twisting an arm or two, less work in my opinion ;) but we are trying every avenue possible. Any other brainstorming or help from other members is always welcomed. The nice thing is he has a stock locked phone (No HTCDev) and mine is HTCDev unlocked. So we can test both options. Also, I switched carriers, so my 3D is nothing but a test phone. If I brick the crap out of it, I am not going to loose any sleep. So suggestions, experimental methods, etc. I have no problems trying on my phone since it is NOT a daily driver. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Uh, actually, I just unlocked mine :o

I just have got to try scott951's ICS MIUI :D

[HTC EVO 3D] dannyboyex:
Is there a way to disable the mechanism that checks the signature?

Supra-charged 3D
[HTC EVO 3D] Crackanug:
This is essentially what the exploit "wpthis" did. It would power cycle the emmc while booted causing the write protection to be temporarily bypassed. Once it was bypassed you could overwrite the hboot and all was handy dandy to root since the sig checks would be disabled with the new eng hboot you wrote. The big problem is HTC buttoned up hboot1.5 very well so wpthis no longer worked. (correct me if I am wrong if anyone knows more specifics).

Right now, there is no exploit that has been found in order to allow overwrites of certain partitions within the emmc on the 3d. But you are on the right track of thinking.
[HTC EVO 3D] timezone12:
Just a though here, seeing that flash image gui flashes kernals in a ROM mabey this could lead to a open exploit within mabey?
[HTC EVO 3D] USSENTERNCC1701E:
A good thought, but not likely. Flash Image GUI is effectively just a GUI for the flash_image binary, there's a little more to it than that, but the actual mechanism we are concerned with just uses flash_image. flash_image is easier to use, but not as flexible or powerful as just using the dd (disk dump, I think) command, which if executed 'backwards' can be used to write. flash_image requires resolving a partition name that you tell it, with the emmc block. dd lets us just give the block designation. So wheras

flash_image hboot hboot_1.40.0000_signedbyaa.nb0

yields

error scanning partitions: No such file or directory

we can tell dd where hboot is

dd if=/hboot_1.40.0000_signedbyaa.nb0 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13

which unfortunately doesn't actually successfully write :( adb push can even be used with success sometimes, though changes don't stick

[HTC EVO 3D] Warboy:
Well, someone should collect mtd partitions then. All versions we're able to grab off hand.
[HTC EVO 3D] P.Mobile:
Im so glad i sold my 1.50 and baught an evo with 1.40.. Lol i was sure that they would crack that hboot by the newyear.. Its funny how people lied aand said they had it.. Im sure u guys kno who im talking about
[HTC EVO 3D] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Not quite, with a patched /misc we can downgrade from 2.17.651.5 to 2.08.651.2 or .3 But if we try anything lower it errors out with HBOOT older. The only reference we've found so far to HBOOT version is in HBOOT itself which crackanug did find a way to write over, but it still reverts on reboot.

---------- Post added at 07:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 AM ----------

We've got them all, and have tried writing over them all, the blocks that we can get to change after a reboot are

0p19 -radio_config

0p24 -dzdata

0p25 -cache

0p26 -modem_st1

0p27 -modem_st2

0p28 -devlog

If you want to pull an image, just temp-root, only needs adb, so zergRush alone will do, then

adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p* of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p*.img

where * is a number between 0 and 34

I'll commit to adding another $10.00 to this bounty.
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
I just happened to see this thread and it may very well have been discussed but I didn't read through all the posts... the downgrade method used on the GSM won't help us? Did anyone ever try flashing a GSM HBOOT and then trying to go back to 1.4?
[HTC EVO 3D] USSENTERNCC1701E:
The GSM HBOOT downgrade requires rewriting the CID, which we've been trying to do, but so far no success. Crackanug has found the CID in two mmcblk's we cannot permanently overwrite, 0p4 and 0p5. Best guess is that where the actual CID is stored as read by fastboot. Manually altering CID in /misc sticks, but has no effect on fastboot's read out.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] snorkle:
Thinking about going to go pick a vivid up right now, im currently using the captivate and i hate it more then life. If anyone already has complaints about it please list them i wanna know if this phone is another captivate. Thanks
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] malickie:
Other than being slightly awkward as in a little bit heavy and the volume button nothing bad to say about it.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] snorkle:
volume button? o0
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] nohcho:
Its thick and will be even thicker with a case on it. It has terrible stutter pretty much everywhere especially in tapatalk app. My biggest gripe is that it records 1080p in 3gp format and at least my phone, records with a very choppy quality (not sure why).
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] malickie:
The volume button is way too easy to press by accident. Seems to take up too much space on the side of the phone. As far as stuttering every where that nohcho is talking about I have never experienced a stutter once and None of my videos recorder where choppy.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] markjo:
I came from a Captivate.. I'll tell you, it's a step up. It's quick, and is actually proportioned rather well, and I have kind of smaller hands. The volume key is large and user friendly and no, it's not like you'll be hitting it all the time when you don't mean to. It is heavier than most other phones including the Captivate, but it's a weight you will easily adjust to. the construction is excellent, it feels like it's made out of rock.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] nohcho:
There is a good chance that i may have a faulty device. Ill go to att store and check one of theirs.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] snorkle:
i see, well alright guys! thanks i just picked up a white one.. liking it so far =P
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dwsr:
You won't be sorry. I came from an SE X10, and it's a massive step forward. It's a great phone, other than it gets a little warm and the battery life is less than stellar.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] snorkle:
hehehe well this is why i have a car charger =P
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] donharden2002:
I came from an atrix, to an atrix 2, to the vivid. If it hadn't come out that day I was going for the focus a. I wasn't going back to a Samsung device. Had a captivate, had an infuse, and had an international sgs2. Liked the captivate the most to be honest. Now I have the vivid and the only way I'm giving it back is if a better htc device comes very soon. I have an upgrade coming in march and another in July so I should be set with hi end toys for the year hopefully.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bjg222:
I came from a Hero & Incredible S. I have to say I love the Vivid. I know some people complain about stutter, but I've noticed this in only one place: my Gmail label list, and I have about 50 or 60 labels... Everywhere else, things are soooo smooth! It does get a bit warm, and the battery life isn't exceptional, but it doesn't seem too bad. I've pretty much been playing with it nonstop, so I'm sure battery life will improve when I stop using it 24/7!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slimslim:
Although a little different, I really like the design of this phone. Can't believe people complain about it after they actually bought the phone? I really like the screen on it, the qHD looks awsome, also the thin bezels on sides, top and bottom. Looking at it, the device is pretty much only screen. It getting a little warm but honestly not warmer than my old Atrix. My only complaint is: (edit for later, I didn't find one yet)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] doktor buknasty:
The only things I can complain about is lack of data speed (I'm looking at you ATT) and no unlocked bootloader. Very thing else is great for me.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dcjes:
I feel like the odd guy out.....I came from an iPhone 4! This is my first Android phone, and so far it is awesome. I haven't had any issues with it. The screen is so nice on it. It was closer to the res of the iPhone than the Skyrocket was.

I also live in a 4G LTE area......makes the web and youtube very fast.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ClippinWings:
sounds like you got a bad unit...

Mine is buttery smooth everywhere... I have seen no stutter or FCs on any apps since purchse.

Only mainstream issue I have is with the (expectantly) poor battery life.

Other more technical issues:

The underclocked CPU and the Locked Bootloader (yes, I know... the CPU at 1.5 would hurt battery more... but I LOVE power!!!)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] blopez24:
Yeah I don't like it that it record 1080 video in 3gp mode. But clarity is there.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Big Dawg 23:
Video recording is better than my former iPhone 4. I think it is no different than SGS2.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] markjo:
I don't like how video records in 3GP. That to me is just absurd... don't see any logic behind it, maybe it's to conserve space.

Otherwise, I love it. Patiently awaiting bootloader unlock, root, and then some ROMs. But it has only been a few days, we have plenty of time.

I love the data speeds. Although I don't live in an LTE area (I am about 25 miles West of NYC), the mobile data is blazingly fast. I haven't bothered doing any "speed tests" or any of that bull**** - if it feels and is fast enough to satisfy its user, then it is fast.

The build quality is crazy. I've never held a phone - especially one you must remind yourself is made mostly of plastic - and thought it to be so sturdy. The weight at first is a downer, but you quickly get used to it. It actually adds a lot of solidity to the device. Compared to the Vivid.. Samsungs, particularly the Galaxy devices, are made of paper. Seriously. The screen is a beauty as well, and you can't beat the resolution.

Only thing I don't like is the ear piece. On my phone at least, it's staticy and just overall not the best, although it's not bad either. Battery life I am fine with - I can squeeze around 12 hours out of it with moderate-heavy use, and although that's less than my Captivate, I consider primarily the fact that this is an LTE phone to justify it.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jsalter85:
been reading a lot of negative comments about the ear piece. mine is the same way, but its not so bad to pass up the phone in my opinion. I hardly talk on the phone since I am primarily a texter so it really doesnt bother me. Mine doesnt seem so staticy.. to me it makes the other person sound like the car talking through a tube or something. its weird but its clear.

Use rootexplorer to delete SU app. Then download the siyah kernel cwm flashable zip. Replace the zimage inside with a stock one. Transfer it to your phone using Bluetooth. Flash it in recovery.

Once you reboot, you should be unrooted and having a stock kernel.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sileshnair:
I can make one for you. But you will have to be rooted with a insecure kernel to flash it using cwm. After flashing it, you should be as good as stock.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Yes. If you see your stock recovery, you are good.

Regarding binary counter, you need a jig to set it back to 0. I don't know if it works on the sprint version. Also new firmwares have a bootloader which prevents the jig from resetting the counter. So sorry, i cant help you with that.

Unplug the phone. Delete kies. Restart pc and make sure you download the right version of kies, though, there are driver only packages available.

Then after all that is done plug your phone back in.

There may be some extra steps in there but better to hit every detail so you hopefully won't have to do it all over again.
