S-OFF Maybe for compatibility. But personalyl I prefer to have S-OFF and flash everything from 4ext. I didn't use flash image or smartflash neither.

Use Wire-Trick it works for me, Wire Trick it is the only way to S-OFF a gsm 1.53.007 bootloader unfortunately.
[HTC EVO 3D] guinzo:
which ruu have hboot version 1.4xx?....
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
same procedure as in post 2 would work yes, but not with this software, you have to use cdma ruus :)
[HTC EVO 3D] wrceuro:
I am a little confused? There are parts in post number 2 that are tied into the first one?
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
There small difference:

You don't try to change ur CID +

You flash a RUU not the PGXXXX.IMG

:)
[HTC EVO 3D] wrceuro:
Do you have the steps that I should take before I really screw my phone up?

Thanks,
[HTC EVO 3D] s_superman:
Sorry I was busy in the protests today in Egypt

just came back....

for the 1.5 hboot I really dont know if ti can be downgraded because I dont have a CDMA phone.... so try to be careful
[HTC EVO 3D] s_superman:
I think you can ... if you flash the EU zip file after relocking your boot loader you will get hboot 1.49.0007 and be able to get s-off..
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
hell no :D

that's software for different hardware.

P.S you cannot brick it, either it works or it does not.

Try ur lock. Steps like mentioned in the 1st and 2nd post.
[HTC EVO 3D] s_superman:
different hardware ??

isnt it GSM like ours ???

and what are the differences ?
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
no, he has CDMA :)
[HTC EVO 3D] stylohaku:
Finally, i s-off my evo, downgrade from 011 to 007 using PG86IMG.zip, change mmc to 1.20.401.2 since it is a europe version and boom, it is now s-off.

Thanks a lot for a great thread. No more boot.img using fastboot..hehe..
[HTC EVO 3D] s_superman:
ooooooh :D

sorry I thought CDMA existed only in the US :)

Any body can unlock bootloader, root, flash custom roms on Testra branded device so far? Here is the details of my phone I have posted so far http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=22130046

[Q] Need some advices on EVO Testra branded device.
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
everyone can do that, if there is a matching ruu with correct Hboot.

can you flash this ruu ?

http://www.filefactory.com/file/cfd....00_10.13.9020.29_M_release_219401_signed.exe

If yes, there is no other. at least not on xda.
[HTC EVO 3D] veasna.kelly:
What is the hboot verson pakaged in this ruu? I noted this "WWE_1.24.841.3_Radio_10.55.9020.00_10.13.9020.29_M_release_219401" is matching my phone software verson. But as mentioned in my post, will this shipped ruu.exe lock my phone sim network again? I'm concerning it could happen. If the other has not been done, I may need to wait too as there are some risks. However, why do I need to install this ruu first when my phone has not been unlocked on its bootloader so far?

My current hboot version could be found in my post too.
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
The problem is, there is just one RUU of this Carrier. If it's including the same Hboot Version, that you already have - it will work otherwise it won't.

About the Simlock thing I have no idea.

I wonder if it works with a goldcard
[HTC EVO 3D] veasna.kelly:
If that is the case and no one still can can't suceed, then I have to wait as it won't hurt me. Let the time drives the future solutions........

[HTC EVO 3D] ardanai:
no its not branded

i put PG86IMG.ZIP in root of sd

and when the phone is in bootloader, i type fastboot oem lock and the phone is restarted

then write "Relocked" in top of hboot menu

then i power down,take off the batri and then placed it

when goes to recovery by vol.down and Power key the PG86IMG.ZIP checked a few minute and when cheking is completed goes to hboot and dont updated or question about update

what is the problem pls?

[HTC EVO 3D] ardanai:
i explained my work in post #32 & #61

but i didnt get result
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
Dude I've read that, that doesn't matter. I am asking if you did what is explained in post 1 at the beginning.

You have to pull the mmcblk0p31.img and change the version number.

Did you do this, or not?
[HTC EVO 3D] ardanai:
if i flash any Ruu (such as RUU_Shooter_U_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.22.707.2_Radio_10.55.9020.00_10.13.9020.29_M_release_207422_signed.zip) is possible to downgrade my hboot to 007 fr s-off?

(my original ruu is 1.22.708.4 with same radio version)
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
yes, if the ruu has 007 or 008 hboot.

You have to change the software version in the mmcblk0p31.img.

Then push it back and relock ur hboot. Flash the ruu and u will see which hboot u have. I guess it must be a lower hboot since the software version is also lower.

did you relock the bootloader?
[HTC EVO 3D] madshabz:
Hey guys i get the "Model ID Incorrect" anyway of fixing this?
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
no, that's because you are not unbranded. Your device is carrier branded which means you have a CID that does not match.

You can try to add your CID to the "android-info.txt" there are all CID listed.
[HTC EVO 3D] madshabz:
Thanks for the quick reply. but how do i edit the "android-info.txt" from the PG86IMG.zip file?

Only thing that need's to be tested is, if a goldcard is working or not.

I cannot test it because I am not branded.

HBOOT 1.49.0018, Unlocked, Impossible to S-Off

Hello,

I've tried to S-Off my HTC EVO 3D following this topic, but I'm blocked when I try to do "adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p31 of=/mnt/sdcard/mmcblk0p31.img" I get a message "access denied".

Same when I type "adb shell" and after "su".

Access is denied.

My HBOOT version is 1.49.0018

*** UNLOCKED ***

SHOOTER_U PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-1.49.0018

eMMC-boot

I've tried to put the PG86IMG.zip file on my sdcard and when I arrive in the HBOOT, it checks the zip file, I see a loading bar, but after nothing changes.

I just want to put my phone in S-Off to be able to run root applications like Wall Droid, Root explorer and so on that requires root.

How can I do? I'm looking all around but I cannot find anything.

Does someone have a solution?

Thanks for help...
[HTC EVO 3D] stylohaku:
this might be because your mmcblk0p31.img version is not edited, when you mention acces denied there are 2 possibilities.

1. The mmcblk0p31.img is not mounted to your sd card. - try to on your USB debugging see if this works.

2. You have not installed android sdk tools.

[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
started uploading now. Will be finished in 3-4 hours.

this script will do everything for you :)

all you need to do is to be prerooted, which means u have to flash a custom ROM.

+ you have to start step1.exe (goldcard.exe if necessary) and step2.exe :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
the screenshot? It's the revolutionary application. Sure there is no "9A" you won't find it there. I see that you did not bother reading the first post completely. Did you :)?

Ok guys, it's ready! You just need my tool, no need to do anything yourself. Except of goldcard (if necessary)

Download

extract it anywhere and do the following steps

ATTENTION: You do that, cause you want it. If you have problems afterwards it's not my fault, nor the fault of xda's or someone else. It's 100% working if you do it correctly.

1. You need to be preerooted. Flash a custom rom i.e. LeeDroiD.

2. Plug your phone to your computer. Normald Mode-Usb Debugging Enabled.

3. Start step1.exe - if you get any error, don't even try step2.exe - post the error here and I will try to help you

4. If necessary, create a goldcard. step1.exe will start a tool when it is finished. The tool is easy to use. It will help you to create and patch the goldcard

5. Start step2.exe - it will start flushing after sometime - DO NOT even think about removing the USB Cabel when it has started. That might temp-brick your phone.

6. You will see a status on your monitor and onscreen of your device

7. When it's done it will reboot - you will have x07 Hboot and continue s-offing via Revolutionary

Enjoy and report please! When I have 5 users telling me that it is working, I will make a new Thread for it.

don't use it if you don't want. You do not even deserve using it.

But one thing is sure, you are incapable.

your version is 1.20.401.8 just choose every number and replace by typing the number.

[HTC EVO 3D] stylohaku:
That is because you do not answer the questions and pardon my language you hoping people to spoonfeed everything, if you read carefully and test carefully, u will figure out eventually.

I did want to help and ask do u used RUU or image given by s_superman cause each used different version number. If i dont know which image u r using how to know the version number.

Ex. If u flash P86IMG.zip and u change the version number other than it's designated version. It will not works. So whenever u ask question i hope u can be more specific. Not everyone here is sooo expert.

To edit the line, if in the block "32" represent "1", then if u change the block to 31, the number will change to "0". If u change to "33", the number will change to "2". Read the "help" page on how to used it, or better, see screenshot posted by s_ superman in the first post.
