Successful downgrade from Hboot 1.49.0011 CID__044

Finally successful downgrade to 1.49.007.

Not sure what I did, more like being done accidentally :p So it here goes:

After running Step1.EXE and Step2.EXE, I was able to obtain permanent CID__001 but unable to relock my bootloader, so unable to proceed with Step3.EXE.

I finally gave up trying and restore my nandroid backup but it wasn't stable, keep rebooting by itself :mad: So I thought might as well try to use my phone's official RUU 1.20.707.2 to restore, which it failed (HTC screen but no green progress bar) as well because bootloader was unlocked. But there's an option for recovery at the end of the failed RUU. I just clicked next, next, next, battery pull, reattached usb cable as instructed by the RUU recovery. My phone then rebooted and bootloader still unlocked.

I then tried relocking the bootloader and it relocked successfully with the security warning. I checked the phone is still on CID__001. With bootloader relocked and CID__001, I cancelled RUU retry and proceeded to Step3.EXE. And what do you know, it works!!!:D

Thank you Flashmaniac for your wonderful tools! Now going off to try Revolutionary S-off.

Update:

-------

Successful S-off via Revolutionary. You just made my day Flashmaniac! ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] Rucifel:
what is your EVO 3D initial status?..Stock rom/kernel,un rooted?
[HTC EVO 3D] chubby65:
Download cid getter from the market
[HTC EVO 3D] collect_sampah:
Initially was on Hboot 1.49.0011 CID__044 unlocked via HTC method and rooted stock ROM 1.22.707.2. Prior to using Flashmaniac's superscripts, I flashed LeeDroid custom ROM via CWM recovery as instructed although it gave me wifi error. Then only I proceeded to Step1.EXE and Step2.EXE.
[HTC EVO 3D] veasna.kelly:
@ Flashmaniac, my CID is TELST001.

I believe it's still not able to downgrade yet?
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
No chance, sorry. I explained a plenty of time why not - look back some pages.
[HTC EVO 3D] 4D3:
so i cant s-off no matter what i do?

maybe you should change the title of your thread to tool for SOME BRANDED VODAPHONE
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
yes exactly. No because the working CID's are listed.
[HTC EVO 3D] doubleluckstur:
Thank you so much! Worked perfectly for me
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
Awesomeness. Enjoy

Yummy ics
[HTC EVO 3D] 4D3:
So, even if i follow a different guide on here i cant S-OFF?
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
Yes men.

Yummy ics
[HTC EVO 3D] 4D3:
thanks for clearing that up before i tried another guide!!

thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] Floare:
My Evo 3D needs freedom!

Hello Flashmaniac. Thank you very much for your tutorial. Let me understand very clear something: Is any difference between your thread and thishttp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1471246 ?? I think the only diffrence is that you made it automatically..am I right???

I have a new Evo 3G. I want to root-it and install whatever I want. Look what I understand here, by reading all the threads, step by step:

1. Unlock my phone at www.htcdev.com

2. Boot into bootloader mode and flash a recovery(cwm-4.0.1.4-shooteru.img).

3. Install a rom..like LeeDroid.

4. Connect my phone to pc in normal mode(usb debugging enabled)

5. Start step1.exe

6. Start step2.exe when step1.exe is finished.

7. After those 2 steps i will go to Revolutionary.io to make-it S-OFF.

Am I understand..?? Could appear errors on step1 or step 2?

Important info:

My phone is unbranded, cidnum: HTC__032, HBOOT 1.49.0018.

S-off means that I will loose my warranty? That was not so clear for me ...:confused:

:)
[HTC EVO 3D] meangreenie:
I'm confused too, because Leedroid instructions say to have..

"S-Off & a Custom recovery required"

and these instructions say to have a custom rom like leedroid installed ?

it's a bit 'chicken and egg" :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
You have to learn the difference, I already posted that a hundred times. you don't need S-OFF to install it, you only need S-OFF for the kernel.
[HTC EVO 3D] meangreenie:
ahhh, makes sense now. sorry for asking and thanks for explaining. I'm trying to read too much at once.

just need to find out how to tell if s-off is off or not now or if I need to htcunlock if the phone is simunlocked already..... still a bit confused lol

edit.. reading through the thread, flashing the reccomended 'leedroid' that comes with a kernel will result with a boot loop since the kernel won't be flashed until you get the s-off..... it's still 'chicken and egg'. i just don't get it... sorry

way i see it..

1)I want leedroid rom on

2)leedroid requires s-off

3)to s-off i need to downgrade

4)to downgrade i need the leedroid rom on... back to square 1

from everything i have read all evening the leedroid rom will bootloop if i don't flash the kernel as well which comes with rom as boot.img

i guess i need to start from a different tuturial, the one i was following brought me to this thread via the comments http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1247392

..would root/superuser access not be enough to run your scripts ?
[HTC EVO 3D] Cero92:
Got another Evo 3D from France. Succesfully downgraded and unlocked, thank you a lot :D
[HTC EVO 3D] dryogeshd:
Where are the step1 and step2 files, i didn't find them in the zip
[HTC EVO 3D] meangreenie:
Ok I think I got it.

If follow this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1248231 thread. to unlock bootloader and install a cmw

then flash the kernel image file of leedroid (boot.img from inside leedroid.zip) using "Fastboot flash boot boot.img" while still in fastboot mode

then enter recovery and flash the leedroid rom (the ledroid.zip)

then i should be able to boot and run your tool ? from leedroid home screen in charging mode , debug enabled/drivers installed

sorry, i just need someone who knows what they are doing to confirm.
[HTC EVO 3D] dryogeshd:
Worked for me after many many days of hardwork/A workaround

I will try to simplify and a few of my modifications

1. Unlock your device HTCDEV way.

2. Flash CMW recovery.

3. Install any rooted ROM.

4. Download the TOOL from this thread.

5. Extract it (You will not find the step1 and step2.bat files) do not worry, Copy the mmcblk0p31.img to your android folder in C:\ drive(This is your adb folder).

6. Push the mmcblk0p31.img file to your sd card and then copy that to your phone in the adb shell(run the adb command).

7. Re lock your phone, if it does not re-lock just flash the unlock code you got from HTCDEV again, then re-lock, works like a charm if you have to re-lock again.

8. Make sure you have changed the cid to HTC__001 before re-locking.

9. Now reboot into bootloader and flash the PG86IMG.zip(You have to rename the ROM.zip you found in the TOOL archive to PG86IMG and copy that to your sd card.) It says fail at the end but you can go ahead and reboot.

10. Visit revelutionary.io and follow the instructions.

11. If even after this you see that your phone is unlocked, please repeat step 7 above, reboot and follow revolutionary.io instructions.

You will be having a working s off and revolutionary bootloader.

Hit a thank you if this works for you guys.

PM me if you need a separate thread to be started with detailed and understandable instructions.

:D

Searching for a working ICS for my 3vo DDD
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
dude, there is step1 and step2. If you didn't have it, your download was incorrect.
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
exactly this way men.
[HTC EVO 3D] apprentice:
I have the same set up as you, I followed the simple steps you mentioned and it worked 100% firtst time. The only addition would be to also remove the cable first before you remove the battery right at the end of step 2... you should never remove a battery with the usb cable still attached!

There is an instruction text file in the zip .. you should read, it's only a few lines.

I now have the much needed S-OFF :)
[HTC EVO 3D] dr_jerremy:
One question...I have to rename rom.zip inside folder to PG86IMG.zip,or just run step 1.exe and step 2.exe?
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
just run step2 if you meet the requirements.
[HTC EVO 3D] apprentice:
NO do not rename it.
[HTC EVO 3D] dr_jerremy:
Tnx guys :)..im done :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
enjoy dude
[HTC EVO 3D] dryogeshd:
Never mind, got it to work with bit of hard work. Thanks for the file though, couldn't find the stock rom since many days, If I had a good stock rom I would have been able to s-off much earlier.

The links in many posts don't work, it took me almost two weeks to find a working rom, that was in your zip.

So I should say THANKS A LOT dude. :D
[HTC EVO 3D] Lothaen:
so, new evo 3d GSM unbranded, hboot 1.49.0018 - this will work ok right?

unlock with htcdev.com and then run the tools?

just taking ages to download -.-
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
take the minus mirror - should be faster.

no, you also need to be prerooted, flash a custom ROM after unlocking.

then you can run step1. No errors on step1? then run step2.
[HTC EVO 3D] Lothaen:
unlock from htcdev.com

flash custom recovery

flash root

then run step1 + step2 then...?
[HTC EVO 3D] dryogeshd:
Yes it should work fine, just try to find out the cid of your device. you can do that by downloading a market tool or by running the command fastboot oem readcid or fastboot getvar cid in the command prompt adb folder

c:\adb>fastboot oem readcid

or

c:\adb>fastboot getvar cid

either of these commands will show you the cid of your device, if your cid is listed in this thread in the first post, you should be able to downgrade.

Even if not listed you can try, but I can not guarantee the results.
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
flashing root is not enought, must flash custom rom.
[HTC EVO 3D] Lothaen:
cid is htc__001

still waiting for tools to download - eta 1hr... sigh
[HTC EVO 3D] dryogeshd:
1. Unlock HTCDEV way.

2. Flash CWM recovery(reliable).

3. Flash a fully rooted custom ROM like LeeDroid.

4. Download the tool and follow the steps 1 and 2.

5. Reboot.

6. S-off Revolutionary way(Visit http://revolutionary.io

7. Reboot your device.

7. Flash the ROM of your choice and KERNEL of your choice.

8. Reboot.
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
you forgot to S-OFF between 5 and 6 ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] dryogeshd:
Sorry editing now.

On duty, so couldn't concentrate
[HTC EVO 3D] Lothaen:
step 1:

Press enter to start.
remounting
remount failed: Operation not permitted
pushing new misc partition back to android
dd: can't open '/dev/block/mmcblk0p31': Permission denied
done
rebooting

hmmm do i run this from fastboot? couldnt see anything to say where so ran it when booted into android...
[HTC EVO 3D] dryogeshd:
No, this has to be done in the adb shell. Before that, your device has to be completely rooted and should be unlocked. Once you push this mmcblk0p31 back to dev/block/ you need to write the new cid in fastboot (fastboot oem writecid HTC__001) and then re-lock your device bootloader.

You can also try adb with root permissions, there is command line which enables root permissions in adb shell.

Let me know if you have any other difficulties.

Seeing the difficulties faced by everyone, I am planning to start a new thread.

Will start one if get any requests.
[HTC EVO 3D] Lothaen:
that output was from running step1.exe - think it hates me :p

cid is already correct - and unlocked and rooted :)
[HTC EVO 3D] dryogeshd:
In that case unlock your device again in fastboot,

c:\android>fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin and hit enter

this will unlock your device again and you will get the disclaimer, accept and reboot, and then check debug mode is enabled in settings --> applications -->development -->USB debugging.

and try to run step 1 again.
[HTC EVO 3D] Lothaen:
copied it manually (the step 1 bit) (saw a post a page or two back) and that seemed to help - then ran step2 fine

would be good to get the first post updated or another guide to show workarounds like that I thinks :D

---------- Post added at 09:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:41 PM ----------

S-off'd now - thanks guys!
[HTC EVO 3D] dryogeshd:
Anytime buddy, hit a thankyou if you have found our work useful
[HTC EVO 3D] Lothaen:
indeed! only opened the evo3d box about 4-5 hours ago so now nicely s-off'd I'll start playing!
[HTC EVO 3D] dryogeshd:
That's awesome dude.. :-)

Cheers and welcome to extra dimension..

---------- Post added at 04:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:00 AM ----------

If you follow flashmaniac's steps you do not need to rename.

renaming is required if you are facing problems and not following his step 1 and step2.
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
it just don't work with none - unsecured boot image. sadly the most of you guys are not capable of flashing a boot.img via fastboot ...

that's why you are not fully rooted, and cannot dd directly w/o asking for su permission.
[HTC EVO 3D] Lothaen:
i didnt see anywhere to flash a boot.img in fastboot - does it do that in step1 cause thats the only bit that struggled for me
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
sometimes it works w/o sometimes it doesn't ... idk why :S

if I would flash a boot.img the device won't be booting anymore (possible)

which would cause a fail in changing the mmcblk0p31.img :P
[HTC EVO 3D] merps:
Sorry to be a bother but the Telstra RUU that is current available (RUU_Shooter_U_Telstra_WWE_1.24.841.3_Radio_10.55.9020.00_10.13.9020.29_M_release_219401_signed.exe) will this allow S-OFF to be obtained or are you referring too the IMG file that is required on the device?

cheers and thanks in advance.
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
no... with telstra branding you have no chance to archieve s-off. in no kind of way....
[HTC EVO 3D] Veevoh:
I'd just like to say thankyou to Flashmaniac for his excellent tool. I have successfully downgraded my HBOOT from 1.49.0018 which was S-ON to 1.49.0007 S-OFF.

Thanks man!

Hello my cid is htc__001 I've got this far and it want let me relock I even tryed HTC unlocktoken and it failed and I'm rooted
[HTC EVO 3D] sschrapel:
I had this problem too, couldn't relock the device to install the stock ROM, i just kept pushing "fastboot oem lock" and eventually it did it, strangely enough the first few times i tried it kept saying SUCCESS, only when it gave me a bunch of errors in the command prompt window did it actually re-lock.

at that point it was easy, i now have S-OFF on my GSM (HK release) EVO 3D :D :D :D

thank you OP
[HTC EVO 3D] merps:
Thank you for taking the time to respond Flashmanic, I live in hope that this is not the case .

Just want to tell you...After I try many tutorial and guided to downgrade my H-BOOT from 1.49.0011 to 1.49.0007 I've found your scrip...first time it doesn't work...it makes me hopeless...and I found you write how to in manual without your step number 2....and I try to do that way...and it work...just want to tell you...keep your good job...If I can press that "THANKS" button thousand times..I will do that

FLASHMANIAC RULEZ !!!!​
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
is it relocked or is it not relocked? that you change your CID?
[HTC EVO 3D] jslim38:
my cid__001 and it is lockin there is one step to take before relocking the device and i dont know how to get to it help please
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
do you get any errors on step1?

are you rooted? what rom are you ruinning? kernel?
[HTC EVO 3D] jslim38:
dowgrading

i made it to step two and it rebooted to a htc screen with a black back ground and this is where it got a little tricky but before i got to this point i didnt get any error's at all and i use your automatic script and it relocked my bootloader downloading my tool

unzip on desktop

rename < rom.zip > to < PG86IMG.zip

put it on sd.

start step 1.exe

when done don't start step2.exe

open command promt (cmd)

cd desktop/free3vo

adb reboot-bootloader

wait til it has finished booting into bootloader

then change cid

fastboot oem writecid HTC__001

do that twice! do not reboot.

then lock bootloader

fastboot oem lock and then it does it thing and it flashed the Ruu and after that thats where i see the htc screen on my phone but it doesnt have the green bar at the bottom and it stays there until i remove the usb and i see the bootloader screen and it shows the ruu but when i reboot the bootloader it doesnt pares thie PG86IMG.zip
[HTC EVO 3D] knightslay2:
I have a hboot "1.49.0013". I was using the other guide and tried to downgrade the hboot. I changed the hboot. Now I tried downgrading after relocking the bootloader. Later realizing that the Cid didn't get changed, which I did change. My question is do I need to change the Cid twice inorder to get HTC__001? The original Cid is "VODAP021". Any ideas?
[HTC EVO 3D] jslim38:
down grading

Yes you do that twice and after you do that typ fastboot getvar cid and it will should read HTC__001
[HTC EVO 3D] knightslay2:
Well it didnt seem to changed. I don't know what's wrong. I had done the other steps already.
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
You are not doing it wrong, you just cannot change your cid.

Yummy ics

[HTC EVO 3D] devilzeye793:
@FlashManiac

I had an Asian GSM Evo 3D (UNBRANDED) with red lining around the cams .....UNLOCKED with Hboot version 1.49.0011

HTC__001 (after an unsuccessful manual attempt to downgrade, dont know what it was originally when I bought it)

Man then I found and tried your tool .........

It completed Step 1 and 2 without any issues ......BUT during step 2 when it said Flashing RUU, I saw no progress bar on my device just a black screen with HTC logo !! after that it took a while ....

then it said done !! Phone restarted in bootloader and it was still Hboot 1.49.0011 ***RELOCKED***

now I'm stuck in bootloader mode ! previously flashed LeeDroid ROM aint working anymore !! Kindly Help !!

where did I go wrong exactly ?
[HTC EVO 3D] jslim38:
well add another sucsess story i made it and i now have s off.i dont why but on my laptop i rename the PG86IMG.zip but coulndnt figure out why it wasnt parsing so on my evo i opened up es file xplorer and then i saw the PG86IMG.zip and this is how it looks PG86IMG.zip and then i clicked edit and what do you it say would you like to edit PG86IMG.zip.zip hmm so did and i erased that last .zip and pluged my evo into my laptop and typed fastboot oem lock and it locked then i power down and reboot into bootloader and it found the PG86IMG.zip and started parsing and did it thing and at the end it ask do you wont to update vol up for yes and a star is born i now have full root and s off
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
just unlock your bootloader again. Flash Recovery and flash rom :)

what is ur CID?
[HTC EVO 3D] PlayPetepp:
@Flashmaniac

Just wanted to thank you again (already thanks given to the first post) for this very nice and simple tool which gave me the needed hboot for s-offing. Everything went flawlessly according to your tutorial. My CID was HTC__032 and hboot 1.49.0018 prior to the s-off procedure. ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] ibrahimh:
Hi, if I backup my custom rom (with stock kernel) with cmw and downgrade my hboot for s off ...can I restore it after?

Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
restore what? youre current hboot? why should you do that, lol
[HTC EVO 3D] ibrahimh:
No..hehe..not the hboot. I mean the nandroid backup of my rom prior to downgrading hboot

Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m
[HTC EVO 3D] devilzeye793:
yup thats exactlywat I did last nite !! could only think of this option !

btw my CID is HTC__001

but the issue remains there !! I'm still stuck on Hboot 1.49.0011, your tool RELOCKS the bootloader but doesn't Flash RUU that its supposed to !!

now what to do ! ??

once again being an ASIAN EVO 3D meant for regions like PAKISTAN, MALAYSIA and SINGAPORE, do u think process to flash RUU might be different ?
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
I think step1 didn't work for you, that's why you have problems.

do you have security warnings when being relocked?
[HTC EVO 3D] PlayPetepp:
Yes you can. Did the same after s-offing, restored my MikRunny nandroid I had on my sdcard and everything was restored. I don't think it's rom dependant.
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
100% correct. that is not a problem^^
[HTC EVO 3D] ibrahimh:
Thank you for your quick reply

Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m

Oh !! yes I did ....n that too was highlgihted in PINK !

so does that mean this tools not for me ??
[HTC EVO 3D] elmanortega:
i have the same problem what do i do now?????????????????????????
[HTC EVO 3D] pwelyn:
First of all, thank you for your wonderful work

I'm sorry, but I can't download your files, thank you
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
I have had a guy with the same thing that you have. I was not able to downgrade his device because of that. I could not even run a normal ruu...Idk why
[HTC EVO 3D] elmanortega:
ok im back to normal

but i cant do this

i have no idea why
[HTC EVO 3D] scariola:
Hey bud, noticed your problem with hboot 1.49.0011.

Had this problem myself, make sure you are NOT running leedroid Rom first.

Then look in this forum section for the thread how to downgrade almost every gsm EVO 3d. You must hexedit the PG86img.zip, to lower the software version below the current one.

I believe mine was 1.22.707.3 on the phone, changed the ImG.zip to 120.707.3.

No more cancelled update image fail.
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
no need to do it yourself when I am doing it automatically. Possible leeDroid is the reason but I doubt that
[HTC EVO 3D] scariola:
This was specific to our hboot, and hardware version with your tool. I tried upon your first creation unsuccessfully. Only when reading the other thread, did I find out how to downgrade 1.49.0011 correctly.

Your tool shows only black progress bar, instead of green.

The only way to check is try mounting the devblck031 or whatever with leedroid installed, it won't work on the regular leedroid ROM. Maybe specific to this model, but when loading romeos ROM and running that same command I get the proper permissions to write back the modified file.

Another way to check, leedroid Rom, look at superuser and update the Su binary, you will see an error in red.

remember that, cause romeos didn't have that error and the root rewrite of blck031 worked as pictured in the other thread relating to hexediting.
[HTC EVO 3D] scariola:
Another reason why this does not work on his version, is because his cid of the Taiwan gsm model is as mine, HTC__044 which is NOT on your supported list. It CAN be downgraded manually with all required files just not using this batch script.
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
he never said that, he has changed its cid.
[HTC EVO 3D] scariola:
I'm trying to help him. Being as I have this model, tried your tool, from birth to present, and other iterations, I am trying to help soneone, not discourage.

I had the initial discussion with you about running the cid script twice in order to make it effective.. in your own thread here, first couple pages.

Anyways perhaps I will pm him, just trying to POST information that is searchable, either on xda or Google, and helpful to other members that I know what works.
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
I am not saying that it is not okay ^^
