You want the Rogue Recovery to run like ClockworkRecovery?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jungle.oliver:
Yes! today i need to install CWM Recovery Image first, and after install the Rogue with .zip file. I`d like to run Rogue Recovery as .img file to install it first, without CWM Recovery first. Its possible?

Thanks
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3athsd00r:
Open the zip file and take the .img file out and flash it.

The worst part is, there are time stamps that prove everything. People that KANG know what they are getting themselves into and some people will never tell the truth. They will steal and lie to make themselves look better. Time stamps don't lie. I'm not an idiot and I'm the kinda person that looks at what's in front of me and decides who's lying and who's telling the truth. That is all. People can lie all they want, proof is all over the posts that can't be removed.

A little bit of progress. I think you HAVE to be relocked in order to do this. I just went to bootloader to scan for the 2.08 PG8600 file. It found it, started a progress bar and once it hit 100% it just disappeared. Gonna relock and try again.
[HTC EVO 3D] JJsax:
Hey Unknown,

I'll send you a PM with my gtalk info I would like to test this at the same time with you tonight since I just set up my machine to dual boot ubuntu.

I'm on 2.08 and if you got to 2.17 we will have both methods covered if it sticks.

Guys, I gave credit to everyone whom I got everything I needed to accomplish my task.

If anyone has an issue with my posting this, or is feeling used or anything of that sort, have them come to me direct, please stop flooding this topic with worthless posts, it's nonsense and conjecture.

Please stay on topic.
[HTC EVO 3D] saboture:
Have this conversation via PM. Me and a few others are trying to downgrade our Hboots so that we dont have to use flashimagegui or HTC Dumlock. All this is going to cause is a bunch of people with under 50 posts coming in here saying exactly what your saying. This is a development. He states in the OP "Thanks to anyone else I'm missing." or something a long those lines. Those of us who are TRYING this will be able to do so a lot easier without having to skip 9 posts to see the dev's reply.
[HTC EVO 3D] focbuster78:
I can't get my phone to brick. Umm I guess i'll try this later when you actually get it working. haha
[HTC EVO 3D] rpenrod23:
1. RUUs - I downloaded from SCrosler (http://www.scottsroms.com/downloads.php?do=cat&id=4)

2. I was able to get the PCG86IMG.zip files to read correctly, and it appeared that it took the update, but did not brick it. Simply said "Update Complete! Press Power to reboot". Mine did NOT turn off (aka brick).

I used 2 different SD cards (with nothing but the RUUs on them) and also tried by using just one - but same results.

3. MD5s for above RUUs:

*RUU_Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_1.13.651.7_Radio_0.97.10.0530_NV_NV_SPCS_1.16_release_198109_signed.exe - 8C7702F1D7A53C82227D027DE22EBFA5

*RUU_Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_1.13.651.7_Radio_0.97.10.0530_NV_NV_SPCS_1.16_release_198109_signed.zip - 343DD8CED08CF34D69FD1CF1CE4D10B2

*RUU_Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_2.08.651.3_Radio_0.97.10.0808_NV_SPCS_1.31_003_release_219445_signed.zip - 2E55650E9E3ADF81BCA541F66192E0B0

ALSO - I can confirm this that did NOT brick my phone. My 3VO simply looked at this as a "normal" RUU and I was able to go back into fastboot, re-root and the nandroid back to where I was before I started this process.
[HTC EVO 3D] notsointeresting:
Im just going to throw this out there , and in no way am I for sure about this lol.

But someone said above that all it might be doing is copying the images to a temp folder...so maybe swap the cards in the middle of its loading process?

Just something to throw out there.. might be stupid
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
Well done. Always impressed with the ability of everyone.

MD5
ed069a002abee5521fd781fb26af02e6

I tried this with unlocked status. bootloader found the update zip, loaded it up and once it hit 100% it didn't give me the option to update it just went to the bootloader screen like nothing had happened.

I relocked, and flashed 2.17 and tried again. Still had the same effect, no update option?

Once you figure out what went wrong I'll be more than happy to try this out for you.
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
One, this talk should be over PM if at all. And two, last I saw he stopped dev on it bc he had to give the unit back and there is not much of anything there dev wise on this recently...tough to kang what does not exist...

Like xhausx said last thing they did was run through previously tried ideas done here...
[HTC EVO 3D] Unknownforce:
This MD5 does not match the official one, you got a bad image. Find another one, or find the exe and pull it out of that.
[HTC EVO 3D] Unknownforce:
The true test is to just throw the battery back in and see if it boots, if it doesn't, you're good to go.

TYPICALLY it goes to a solid dim light though... what that basically indicates is that the device has power and that it's currently in it's "download" mode.
[HTC EVO 3D] fr0st420:
I wonder if you could just have the zip file with only the bootloader files in it so it would load super fast. Probably need everything because it needs to be signed I'm assuming.
[HTC EVO 3D] Unknownforce:
That. I have requested a signed zip from HTC... but the chances of them providing me that are worse than me winning the lotto and getting struck by lighting on the same day...
[HTC EVO 3D] Sora1995:
I have yet to try it, although I'm sure since it's the stock ROM the radio should match too.

Yeah, it still does it. Tried every single time. I've even tried not wiping. Same thing
[HTC EVO 3D] Unknownforce:
Try a different ROM than stock, get a rooted one 2.17 and try it on that...
[HTC EVO 3D] MeatyCoins:
the next attempt after typing my question I got it to work, I did a battery pull not using the AC at all...it was before the corner box popped up..thanks! great method :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Unknownforce:
Cool, good deal, glad you got it!
[HTC EVO 3D] Sora1995:
I will try that then. Although, couldn't you just skip running the 1.13 RUU altogether to prevent this?
[HTC EVO 3D] Unknownforce:
the 1.13 RUU is so that you can be on it and 1.40 to run revolutionary to get S-OFF, after that it doesn't matter.
[HTC EVO 3D] johnnyboi1994:
the trick for me was don't wait until the bar shows up to pull,

its kinda trickier than that (and you won't have fast enough reaction time)

time the count until you FIRST (talking miliseconds here) see that bar, (don't even try pulling out the usb unless you're like the flash

now take it out and start over, this time, count a milisecond before you see that bar and pull it (you should be pulling it AS SOOOON AS YOU SEE THAT BAR SHOW UP)

worked for me
[HTC EVO 3D] mpgrimm2:
Sorry Sora, I realized my previous link wasn't correct and fixed it (above).

Also, if you look at the "Previous Radios Thread you will see the radios are different in several of the released "stock roms" & Ruu's. Only the WiMax radio stayed the same since 1.13:

•From the 1.13.651.7 OTA/RUU:

•CDMA: 0.97.10.0530

•WiMax: 29047

•From the 2.08.651.2 OTA:

•CDMA: 0.97.10.0808

•WiMax: contains the same WiMax radio from the 1.13.651.7 OTA/RUU

** Mpg2 Edit: 2.08.651.3 OTA: **

(Same radios as 2.08.651.2)

•From the 2.17.651.5 OTA:

•CDMA: 1.06.00.1216

•WiMax: no WiMax radio was included in this OTA

[HTC EVO 3D] fr0st420:
Anyone having a lot of random freezes after downgrading the hboot? Do I need to flash the all in one zip and the newest radio maybe? I'm on the radios from 1.13.
[HTC EVO 3D] Unknownforce:
It's a good idea to do that if you're running a newer ROM, yes.
[HTC EVO 3D] Jfree3000:
Some how some day, I knew this would happen. I had to get a replacement phone from Sprint AGAIN (#3)(Downgrade not to blame). The previous one was downgraded and life was great, now on to this new phone that I can not for the the life of me brick. It took me two tries with the old phone but this bastard wants to remain stock and locked up.

My previous phone (RIP) decided to make a high pitched sound, shut off and never powered on again in this world. Every time I attempt to brick this new phone at the update point it never works, only get the dim "blinking" red light not the solid one and I swear I have tried this at least 25 times today. Anyone else having these woes?
[HTC EVO 3D] Unknownforce:
Possibly good news here ladies and germs, there might be an update package that is MUCH smaller that could make the initial brick process not take 5 minutes to check the 400 MB file every time you're trying to brick.

Once I have more time and rack up the courage to risk my device again, I'll pursue the avenue. :)

Leaks will always be posted, it helps the community fine tune Roms like Newtoroot for instance, its a port from One series but with this leak from a Evo3D it can further assist in development. :)

[HTC EVO 3D] closeone:
If you want to head back to HBOOT 1.40, just flash xHausx's PG86IMG_1.40-hboot from here (not the engineering HBOOT). Rename the zip to PG86IMG.zip and put it in the root of your SD Card.

Thanks godZson. Exactly. With leaks like this one, some developers have been able to put out fully working ROMs before the official release.

[HTC EVO 3D] thetruthmakesme:
i can successfully downgrade my bootloader, but get stuck at 1.4 with 2.17 still installed. the 1.13 ruu always says my device is under 30% battery when its at max charge. could it be a problem with windows 7 64bit?
[HTC EVO 3D] timezone12:
i have a question , i have done my phone and got it downgraded but i was htc unlocked. my wife now wants me to do her 3d to put ics on it but she is completely 100% 2.17 stock and locked. what would be the best way to do this on her phone? should i first do htc method? thanks for the help
[HTC EVO 3D] xdrakos:
In the first post it says to not do this if you are HTC unlocked.

[HTC EVO 3D] thetruthmakesme:
okay, so i successfully downgraded, used 1.13 ruu, and revolutionary s-off'ed. i flashed custom recovery, and flashed Unicorn_pornmilestone5a.zip. booting into the rom though, I'm always getting asked to activate my phone. i've flashed the latest firmware from the 1.13 leak. how do i fix this?

Edit: flashed meanrom v4.3 and phone activated.
[HTC EVO 3D] timezone12:
Mmm I think it does not say that it says don't do this if you are s-on
[HTC EVO 3D] mpgrimm2:
Did you ever update your radio to 1.06 that's part of the 2.17 base (not part of a rom).

See here
[HTC EVO 3D] johntheman_692003:
if u used the htc unlock go back into fastboot and relock bootloader before you use the 2.17 ruu.exe
[HTC EVO 3D] G.Newton:
THANK YOU all those who put countless hours of work into this.

Now then, I bricked correctly on my first try, with no dim led, or any blinking light..in fact my phone was not responding to ANYTHING (I thought I hard bricked it). After some freaking out, and failed attempted, I plugged it into my laptop and the phone was partially recognized (not really usable as a mountable drive), but now it started to show some sign of life.

I ran the hboot toolkit live cd, and downgraded successfully.

Revolutionary took 3 times and I am now 1.4 s-off'ed.

So if your phone doesn't have a dim LED, you might have still bricked it correctly.

Again.. THANKS!
[HTC EVO 3D] theotrman:
Sorry but quick question..

In your the OP it says that the "light for the most part should stay solid.

What mine did was very dim, but flashed off after 3 seconds and then came back on, plus mine got through the complete update of the bootloader portion of the .zip.

Trying it again just for the hell it,
[HTC EVO 3D] G.Newton:
I literally counted to 5, then pulled the plug BEFORE it finished updating bootloader. No light came on at all for me, but hey I'm 1.4 s-off'ed now.
[HTC EVO 3D] theotrman:
yeh, what mine did was very dim, but flashed off after 3 seconds and then came back on, did this like 3 times in that sequence...

plus mine got through the complete update of the bootloader portion of the .zip.

I got a Class 10 32gig that was wipe/formatted. So maybe, it's reading the zip too FAST?
[HTC EVO 3D] G.Newton:
Why would you let it finish the bootloader update? Pull the plug 5 seconds after you start to update, but make sure it's before it finishes.

So far I've seen people report the very very dim light and successfully downgraded, and I've seen other people get no light at all (like myself) and downgrade successfully. If you're getting a flashing light, you should probably not let it finish.

Follow directions my friend. :p

There are like 23 files in that zip. The "bootloader" portion flashes and updates that portion of the zip in 5 seconds
[HTC EVO 3D] G.Newton:
In the downgrade OP it says that his would not downgrade on a class 10 microsd card, but it worked on a class 4. Also, the OP said to let the phone sit on the "Vol Up to update" screen for at least a minute or two before proceeding. Supposedly it doesn't update as fast if you let it sit.

[HTC EVO 3D] Unknownforce:
Correct, if you're unlocked, then you just relock and then flash stock 2.17 and start from step 1.

The test is NOT the dim light, don't worry about the dim light... the test is if the phone will POWER ON or not.... if the phone powers on, it is NOT bricked... a little common sense here people... What is a bricked device... it's something that no longer functions.

It's been said before... SD card speed has NOTHING to do with the update process speed. It only makes it faster to READ the zip (This happens as you see the Blue/Orange Bars) When it's doing this, it COPIES the zip file TO a temporary location on the device and then updates FROM that location NOT from the SD Card. Keep trying and let the device SIT for a couple minutes BEFORE updating.

Read the FAQ in the second post...

Put the phone into fastboot USB mode, plug it into a pc and do "fastboot getvar mainver" without quotes.

What's the output from that?

This is true only because my sd card simply causes the power drain to be too high and cause the phone to shut down instead of process the update, not because of the actual speed of the card.

Finally, boot into toolkit live cd, when hint me to plug in phone, I holding down volume- button and plug in, toolkit never recognize my phone, never, never...

Too hard to let my phone go into brick mode, try all the day, but unfortunaly .

I have considered it to be good practice for you to go back to stock after relocking. You will not be able to boot into your custom ROM. Just flash the same RUU that you're going to brick with (2.17). :)
