[HTC EVO 3D] Hafded7:
Hi so I know there is tons of threads about software downgrades and revolutionary root fails etc. and I apoligize in advance for posting another.but Ive Been researching for hours a day for the past 2 weeks and Ive tried everything Ive come across to fix my issues with caution to no avail .Also everything Ive found is about just one of the problems Im dealing with and most are about downgrading sw in order to downgrade hboot. So I thought if I listed everything it would help overall in others process of downgrades and hopefully find a easy or atleast quicker way to fix these issues instead of going through each one at a time .so here it goes.....

I used unknownforce's method of downgrading my hboot from 1.50000 to 1.40000. and for some reason although my bootloader says hboot 1.40000 my software version is still 2.17. Now when I try and run revolutionary after i put the beta key in it says key accepted and starts with "zerging root...thhis might take a minute..."then says "failed to get root". I have run revolutionary several times now and redownloaded the file several times as well..hoping that it will catch as Ive read that sometimes it takes several attempts to work. Now Upon all my research Ive found that because my software is still 2.17 that its not truly hboot 1.4 until I downgrade my software to 1.3...Correct? and thats what is causing the revolutionary to fail getting root(or S_off) .And yes Ive unistalled HTC Sync(which i know needed to be unistalled for hboot downgrade process but not sure if i need it intalled to run RUU..Ive tried running RUUs both with and without HTCsync , Installed the 3.0.0.007 Drivers that comes in the unzipped rootingevo3d folder,my phone is in charge only mode when plugged into my pc , my debugging is on,fastboot unchecked,and Ive done severalfactory resets ,cleared caches and my cpu's antivirus is off ...

another note is the RUU that came in the downgrade zip didnt work so i had to find one that did.

Now Im trying to downgrade my software.. Ive run several of these versions of RUUs:

RUU_Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_2.08.651.3_Radio_0.97.10.0808_NV_SPCS_1.31_003_release_219445_signed.exe(which was the original version of the ruu that came in the downgrade hboot zip , Ive just tried different downloads)

and RUU_Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_1.13.651.7_Radio_0.97.10.0530_NV_NV_SPCS_1.16_release_198109_signed.exe (which as far as i understand is the last software version for hboot 1.4)

and I get This Error

[Error[140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR

The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone

Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again]

Ive also run several RUU zip files through my bootloader of the same software(which I renamed PG86IMG.zip) and It loads the file,then scans the file then it just goes straight back to the bootloader.It doesnt go through the whole list of files afterward and ask if i want to continue with update.

Ive also tried everything on a few different computers with the same results... another thing ive tried because durring the hboot downgrade process i gain temp root.i thought that was causing the issue running revolutionary. so ive run revolutionary after i took the temp root off and aslo with it back on as someone stated they fixed the revoltionary issue by gaining temp root then ran revolutionary and it worked . But i get the same root failed error.
