Maybe a youtube vid may help with the n00bs im just saying captain and we get to listen to your voice captain.:p
[EVO 4G General] Captain_Throwback:
I considered this, but I'm not much of a video guy myself. If someone else would like to create one, I'm all for it. But I'll think about it.
[EVO 4G General] brad560:

[EVO 4G General] illogos:
The rationale behind Captain's procedure is not primarily to downgrade the hboot to 2.10, it's really to downgrade the radio to 11.19. That radio file is the last supported version that works with unrevoked forever. Unrevoked forever works by obtaining S-OFF in the radio nv, which is permanent regardless of future hboot and radio upgrades.

Revolutionary obtains S-OFF through the modified hboot, which is why future OTAs can make you lose S-OFF if your hboot gets upgraded. But, I was under the impression that the modified hboot versioning is higher than the OTA numbers whould should prevent the upgrade from occuring. I'm not sure if this will also prevent the entire OTA from taking effect or not though.

So, in theory, the preferred S-OFF method is unrevoked forever as it is more permanent.

That being said, S-OFF is no longer required except for convenience when you factor RUUs into the picture for radio/wimax/pri/nv upgrades. The process, now that HTC unlocked the bootloader, would be:

Every time a radio upgrade is released:

1. Nandroid backup your rom

2. Flash to stock

3. Accept OTA

4. Update profile and PRL

5. Reflash custom recovery

6. Nandroid restore

Alternately after the new RUU is out:

1. Nandroid backup

2. RUU to latest

3. Update profile and PRL

4. Reflash custom recovery

5. Nandroid restore

The convenience factor of S-OFF is that you can just directly flash the updated radio/wimax/pri/nv without going to stock, but since many people want/need to update profile and PRL after a radio upgrade, they will have already gone stock.
[EVO 4G General] Captain_Throwback:
@illogos

You are correct, however there is one more reason to use my method. With HTC's method, your HBOOT is watermarked to indicate that it is unlocked, and thus your warranty is voided. Even if you re-lock your device after using that method, they'll still know you did it, since the HBOOT will say "RE-LOCKED" rather than the original "LOCKED (OOW)". So they'll know that the warranty has been voided. My method eliminates that issue.
[EVO 4G General] illogos:
Very true, you should at least be able to get repairs done at Sprint stores. I would think that any direct to manufacturer warranty services could be denied, depending on the problem, because HTC will know you have unlocked the device even if you downgrade your hboot. I only say this as speculation because you do submit a unique device identifier to HTC to obtain your unlock code. I would imagine that your phone would then be flagged in HTCs, but not Sprint's, system.
[EVO 4G General] Captain_Throwback:
I don't actually think HTC has some database where they flag devices that have been unlocked. It seems that the HBOOT watermark is the only indication. I say this because after using their method to unlock, there is no point at which the device has to connect back to an HTC server after you receive the unlock_code.bin file. Just requesting the file doesn't void your warranty; it's only the action of flashing it to the device that does, and that's strictly a procedure done with fastboot - no Internet required.

Perhaps there's a database of devices for which an unlock code wad requested, but without the physical evidence on the device that it was ever done, I don't believe they could reject repairing an under-warranty device.
[EVO 4G General] illogos:
Good point. I would be interested in seeing what the watermark says after following the downgrade process if somebody were to upgrade the hboot back. That would offer definitive proof whether the unlock state persists and would be detectable (not that your average warranty claim technician would do more work than just visually checking for the watermark, which would as you point out make hboot 2.10 a relatively safe bet for sending it in for warranty service).
[EVO 4G General] brad560:
Thanks for your reply. I learned something.
[EVO 4G General] Captain_Throwback:
I have a picture of that here (this is after flashing the mtd img file that downgrades the main version). This is right before flashing the Froyo PC36IMG to downgrade, which is why the HBOOT is still 2.18:

As you can see, the HBOOT appears just as it did at the beginning of the process, as if it was never unlocked.

In fact, I'm running the 2.18 HBOOT on my S-OFF device now, and it says "LOCKED (OOW)" at the top. I wonder if it's something on the mtd partition that actually tells the HBOOT whether the device is LOCKED, RE-LOCKED, or UNLOCKED?
[EVO 4G General] shortydoggg:
Good question, because the phone I downgraded after unlocking to Froyo as an experiment (not by mtd, but because it was already S-OFF) then re-upgraded back to Hboot 2.18 once again said unlocked, and the reverse happened before that for the locked state. I haven't tried relocked yet.

I also saw that flashing the mtd with the HTC unlocked bootloader locks it again (LOCKED OWW) on reboot.
[EVO 4G General] Captain_Throwback:
Interesting. I just Unlocked my device again using the HTC method, and then locked it using their method, and my device does indeed say "RELOCKED" at the top. I apologize for the grainyness of these photos - they're taken with my old Tilt 2 :eek::

Now, I'm going to flash a different HBOOT, and then reflash the 2.18, and see what it says at the top.

EDIT: It does indeed still say "RELOCKED" at the top after flashing a different HBOOT, and then back. The mtd partition must be the key. And now that they know we have a way around it, I assume this method is no longer safe . . .

EDIT 2: CONFIRMED!! Now I'm back to "LOCKED (OOW)" after flashing mtd-eng.img to the misc partition.

It's too bad the newer HTC devices aren't like the OG EVO - it seems like there should be a way to do this on the 3D with 1.5 HBOOT too, and the Rezound. But I guess the newer devices are just more "secure".

P.S. Now I have to restore an old nandroid, because stupid me, in the process of trying to figure all this out, ran the HTC unlocker without first doing a nandroid, forgetting that all my data would be erased :rolleyes:.

P.P.S. I guess in my case it doesn't what the watermark says, because my understanding is that "OOW" means

O

ut

O

f

W

arranty :( (but that's okay, because I know I am). I think it just says that because it's a refurb, though. Perhaps someone who has a device that is NOT actually out of warranty can check (if any such EVOs still exist)?
[EVO 4G General] harrst1:
My wife got the 4.67 OTA prior to unlocking the bootloader. If I use the 4.54.651.1 RUU will I get HBOOT 2.16 back?
[EVO 4G General] Captain_Throwback:
If she has 4.67 already, then the only way to get a different HBOOT is to use my guide (after unlocking with HTCDev.com).

EDIT: Functionally speaking, there's no reason to change the HBOOT to anything else at this point. Unless your goal was to change it so that it could be rooted directly (that ship has sailed, unfortunately).
[EVO 4G General] shortydoggg:
Seems like flashing the mtd partition is the only real way of relocking the bootloader so that it will appear as the original one (LOCKED OWW) once Hboot 2.18 is reflashed.
[EVO 4G General] scottspa74:
Captain, thanks for all your work and discovery. I rooted my Evo right after launch day, the old, manual way, and have never had to unroot or reroot, but godforbid I ever have to....thanks for all your work. ;)

Dear all, just wondering if there is a topic or some form of a guide on how to use Runnymeede addons that are listed in the thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1315961&page=1318

Unfortunately the runnymede thread has 1000+ replies, im sure in one of those it was answered, but maybe someone has something bookmarked? :D
