Hey guys,
So with the recent hboot downgrade option, it seems like it's finally time to root my virgin 3VO, but I need a little help at least with some big picture stuff.
I know that with the HTC unlock, the device is wiped. By doing the hboot downgrade that doesn't seem to be the case. Is it possible to downgrade hboot, get s-off, unlock and then do a nandroid backup of my current phone setup?
In the downgrade instructions, you are supposed to run revolutionary in the final steps, but I'm fuzzy on what this tool does versus some of the other tools like TWRP2 (htcdumblock?) or HTCSupertoolv3. Could somebody give me a quick rundown on these, and if I will need them?
In the hboot downgrade video I watched, the device has a 2.08 RUU on it, while I have the latest OTA 2.17. Will that cause any issues? I've downloaded both the hbootdowngrade toolkit, as well as RUU_Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_2.17.651.5_Radio_1.06.00.1216_NV_NV_spcs_1.42_release_233304_signed.exe
I should probably mention my intentions too... I'd like to get a stock backup to revert to (my current config if possible), then try out some ROMs (maybe MeanROM to start) and chad's latest 2.17 kernel.
MUCH appreciated!

Okay, so despite being stuck in a boot loop, apparently the tacoroot temp root was successful. I was able to push the other commands to get mainver: 1.10.651.2
My problem is, that because it wont actually boot, I can't back up my apps with Titanium. Do I have any other options?

I haven't gone thru this whole downgrade process, I've only done step 3 in order to unbrick my phone from something unrelated, but I know enough to tell you that you're already past the point that you can backup your apps/ROM. You need to keep going thru the instructions for downgrading your hboot til you're completely done and your phone's booted up. If you decided to check the box when you first set your phone up for "keeping this device backed up with Google" (paraphrasing here), then once you set up ANY sense ROM, as long as you have that option enabled as you go thru the setup process, once you click on play store/market, your phone will automatically start downloading all the apps you previously had on your phone.

I'll try to answer some of your questions, but I'm no pro.
I made a backup right before I downgraded so I didn't lose any info, but it sounds like you're past that point.
Revolutionary will get you "s-off", its the only thing that will give you that, that's the point of downgrading. Dumlock is for hboot 1.5 users. Once you downgrade, you won't need it.
2.17 will be fine, that's what I was on.
At the point you're at, either you can turn back now and run the 2.08, 2.17 ruu.exe from hboot, or if you're not scared, then its time for you to brick.
I suggest getting all your terminals to the "waiting for device" state before you brick. Just so you know that won't be an issue because once you brick there's no turning back.

So I had some "help" from a well meaning visiting nephew who was playing with my phone and noticed that I had an update available and decided that I should really have the latest software on my phone...so now I am on 2.17 with hboot 1.5, locked bootloader and all with no custom recovery BUT I am still s-off. I have a NAND backup that is not to old that I did with CWM, but how do I get to that to install it?
I have been looking for several hours and cant seem to find a solution...maybe I'm just searching under the wrong keywords...nevertheless HELP!!!!!!!
I am in the process of downloading a 1.13 stock ruu. Will that work or is there a quicker way to get this done?
I would prefer to avoid HTC unlock if I can, and my understanding is that with s-off, I should be able to.
Thanks for helping bail my ass out guys and girls!
(I thought about it, but no, I didnt beat the kid...his intentions were good...at least they better have been...)
Have you tried flashing a cwm recovery? I think I read someone had the same problem.seens your s-off you should still be able to flash a recovery, and after that's done then you can be able to wipe and flash anything you want, and you well even be able to downgrade your hboot.
Nope, it wont let me flash a recovery through fastboot...access denied (phone shows locked). I cant install it with "flash image gui" because i dont have root.
I know it should be an easy fix because I have the all important s-off...I just cant find how to do it.

S-Off just means that the security is off, and you're able to write onto the boot partition of the phone when flashing a ROM, in one shot. If your Hboot = 1.50, you may have to unlock your bootloader via HTCDEV method, your phone gets wiped. Try HTC SuperTool, maybe it will work, since you're S-Off.

Thank you, that got me back in where I needed to be! Was able to load CWM again and restored from my back up...now all I need to do is make since of all the conflicting instructions to do this update so the icon goes away...found some that are fairly clear, but the links are broken now that the upload sites are blacklisted.
Either way, just glad to have my hboot back where it belongs.
I was wondering if it was possible for the whole entire internal part of the phone to return to the way it was out of the box. I have a messed up MainVer (which ive looked at the recent thread to fix it, attempted it, and got no luck {after multiple tries} in fixing mine), my bootloader/fastboot is unlocked (i am able to relock easily), have Amon recovery (want to get rid of it, but when trying to flash the stock recovery in hboot/command, it cant find the fastboot and wont flash it {i have also attempted this multiple times}). Lastly, no RUUs work for me {attempted multiple times too}. I know I have probably got some developers mad because of all the questions i've asked about how to do all this, so im going to try to stop that now. I am just looking for a detailed guide on how to return hboot/bootloader/fastboot, recovery, rom, kernel, boot and anything else, back to complete stock. Thanks

I think your confusing some terms and what your trying to do to begin with.
Since your unlocked you had to have had fastboot on your computer and HTC drivers installed so you have to have fastboot or you wouldn't have been able to unlock.
Unfortunately, until the new RUU is released you have to fix the mainver before you can RUU and that is the only thing that will return you to stock unless you made a backup of the stock rom after you unlocked.

Sorry for the confusion. Ive confused myself too. But ive gone through the whole mainver fix thread multiple times and think my mainver is fixed. When i run the ruu, sometimes it says i have the stock mainver and other times i have the ics mainver. I really want the my phone completely clean, but this is so confusing. (Thunderbolt {my last phone} was nothing like this with root)

Which RUU are you trying to run ? Be careful with the mainver fix you can hard brick your phone if you mess it up. Otherwise I am not sure.. you are relocked when you are trying to do the RUU correct ?
RUU will only run on the phone if it is relocked and has stock recovery on it. It won't run on a custom recovery such as Amon Ra or Clockwork.
There is a post that contains a complete set of tools needed to run adb and fastboot. i will see if I can find it ..

I am not sure how to link, but it is in rezound android development . The title of the post is Stock rooted OTA firmware.. on the last page Feralicious posted the tools and instructions. Set up those tools and you will be able to flash the stock recovery , relock and RUU.

Thank you, that helped me a lot, thanks!
First, a big big thanks to Virus!! My phone info:
Sprint EVO3D CDMA
SHOOTER XC SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.40.0000
RADIO-1.06.00.1216
eMMC-boot
Jun 8 2011, 17:20:22
TWRP v1.1.1
I previously flashed Freeza's v2.17.651.5 firmware and then the Stock ROM + root Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_2.17.651.5_odex.zip which I'm currently running.
I've read this entire post OTA_Shooter_ICS_35_S_Sprint_WWE_2.89.651.2-2.17.651.5 along with mpgrimm2's post Evo3d(CDMA)HBoot/S-off Differences & Rooting Background Info 8-20-12 and just want to ask before I "leap"! My steps as far as I see it:
1. Run my backups (Titanium, etc) and create a TWRP nandroid.
2. Flash the Stock 2.89.651.2-2.17.651.5 firmware
3. Install the superwipe zip (presumably install zip via TWRP recovery?)
4. Flash the Stock Rooted 2.89.651.2-2.17.651.5 ROM
5. If necessary, flash the BT fix.
At this point I should be up and running the DEODEX'd version of the Stock ICS ROM as if I'd done the ICS OTA. Question here is whether I'll hit compatibility problems with any apps I have installed? I know hard to say w/o knowing what all I've got installed, but if problems I figure just uninstall the app and find something compatible... Any other problems I could expect or should look for?
If for some reason I wanted to go back to my current GB ROM nandroid before the ICS update, I can just reflash hboot 1.40 and restore the nandroid made in my step 1? Do I need to worry about reflashing any other 2.17 firmware? It sounds like I can just restore my nandroid on hboot 1.58 but thinking I'd rather be back at hboot 1.40.
I too have run into the "remote: not allowed" error when using fastboot to flash images. From mpgrimm2's post, it's looks to be because my radio is s-off while my stock hboot 1.40 is technically not s-off? To have a fully functional fastboot via pc, I'd need to flash JBear hboot 1.40 (for GB) or JBear hboot 1.58.5858 (for ICS) from Ramjet's Pick your bootloader!, right? Seeing that I'm ok with flashing by booting into recovery, is there any other advantages (or disadvantages) to using the JBear hboots?
Sorry for the long post, but wanted to be complete... All help is greatly appreciated!
It looks like you have it right. To clarify one point, you don't need to downgrade firmware to run GB (I don't think that's even possible). Just the hboot.

Thanks for the confirmation on my steps and being able to revert if I want to...I figured I would want to keep some of the updated firmware but wasn't sure what all could/should keep.
Although like the idea of being able to use fastboot fully, thinking best to just stick with the stock hboot for now...
Again thanks and if anyone has any other thoughts, they're always welcome!
I delayed doing the ICS update using the steps above, have read through the new pages/posts on the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1808150 post, and now have a few last questions before I jump in! Sorry if seem obvious, but have done the reading but now a bit confused or need clarification. I could just do it and recover if necessary, but rather ask up front.
If reading right, doing the Superwipe in step 2 will format both my phone and sdcard, cleaning out and recreating the partitions. Does this mean I'll have to use my TB Pro backups to restore all my personal apps & data? And if so, will I encounter any issues restoring such thing as my call log (or just restore the data and I'll be ok)? Reading up on Superwipe gets me thinking it deletes everything when I thought flashing this would be like an OTA update and keep my current apps, etc. Sorry again it's been awhile since flashing the stock 2.18.651.5 rooted ROM and just not remembering!
Also part way through the threads, there's mention of needing to first flash a ROM that will boot on 1.58 hboot or will get boot looping. I figure if my 2.18.651.5 GB rooted ROM won't boot after step 1, I'd just have to remove the firmware P86IMG file from the sdcard to proceed to step 2. The OP doesn't mention this - or is this a different situation than mine?
Lastly, on P.59, mpgrimm2 recommends flashing the full stock RUU to clean out all bits & pieces that might be left (I'm figuring it's the RUU_Shooter_ICS_35_S_Sprint_WWE_2.89.651.2_Radio_1.09.00.0706__NV_NV_SPCS_1.43_release_271101_signed.exe) and reinstalling a custom recovery to have the stock rooted ICS. Is this a special case for one person or an alternative to the 3 step method? And it would mean I'd be reinstalling all apps and restoring all my data afterwards, right? Should I even consider this route if the three steps do an upgrade and keep my apps/data?
Thanks and sorry again for so many questions - just getting a headache keeping all straight and sorting through what's special case scenarios...oh and one last, is this Sense 3.5 or 3.6 - the OTA on HTC's site is listed as 3.6, right?
That's correct sir. It is 3.6
Hey folks..so I want to start flashing kernels and yes I know I probably should have gone s-off way sooner but I want to do it now. I've been rooting and romming my phones for a while but this whole s-off procedure continued to scare the crap out of me. But..I don't want to limit my choices when it comes to roms and kernels so I guess I'll do it anyway.
However, I am currently running RUU 4.03.605.2 with Vigor360 1.1 s modified kernel.
Can I still go s-off even though I am now running the global leak (or is it now impossible) and if so, can someone point me in the right direction?
Thank you kind gents n ladies!
I've heard of several people being successful on 4.03.605.2 with the 3.14.605.5 ControlBear version.
Only other advice I can offer is don't give up, try different wires if you're having trouble, and pay attention to the troubleshooting page if you decide you want back out and try again later. I've S-OFF'ed three Rezounds. The first took 3 days, the second 2 minutes, and the third 30 minutes.

i did s-off with viper's rom and the .5. i was on global too, don't let it scare you or you will not get it. i couldn't get the timing for the life of me. first two hours was a hassle, then i had to get my other battery(thought i bricked my phone) then i relized that they had a metrnome with the correct timing and it worked the first time. but use a different memory card. all of these things can be found under the s-off instructions.:good:
its really easy man you can do it. i reccemend using speaker wire as its more pliable than a paperclip.. if you need help i can walk you thru it on gtalk. just pm me for me gtalk. otherwise. goodluck and yes the 3.14.605.5 ControlBear version is the correct one just lock your bootloader, run the full ruu agan( 4.03.605.2), flash amonRA, then flash this in recovery (https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0ZJtM40GdJ0MEpGeG1ZWi0yNDA/edit) to gain root on stock global, download root checker from the app store to be sure you got root before you begin. then boot phone and check usb debugging, connect your phone to the comp(within the stock rom), start control bear.. make sure to back up EVERYTHING as it could all get wiped. (internal sd, external sd, and your nandroid if you so choose) i reccemend using a spare sd card if you have one.. ive only done my phone but it took me all of 2 trys.. i got weird errors a couple times (other than "error: still sober" got that once) if you do just run control bear again
Thanks for the responses and moral support folks!
Collin, I may have to hit you up for that assistance soon, I'd rather be safe then sorry so I might feel better if I have someone to "hold my hand"
May not get around to it til Sat afternoon or Sunday though.

I'm working with the same situation as the OP. You posted a link to a second recovery to flash after Amon Ra, I've tried that link and it forces me to request access. Which recovery is it and is there another link or are you able to give me access to that one?
Hey guys.
I am a complete newb with most this stuff.
I am not sure how I look at RUU I have. I will say that my phone was pretty much stock through the official ICS release.
Currently I have CM9 flashed as my rom.
Is there anyway I can S-OFF my phone?

If you haven't already, I would say start by checking out unlimited.io They have all the basic details about how to achieve S-OFF. Without knowing more specifics about your setup it would be hard someone to give a more specific answer.

Yea I have went there.
I have the program downloaded. I am on Gray's CM9 rom.
Followed all the instructions. When the program runs it goes like this:
Starting up....
Connecting to device....
Searching device.....
Found device......
Backing up.....
Permission denied.....
Transferring backups....
Secondary backup FAILED!!
Press ENTER to exit.
like I said my phone was stock till the official ICS update released. After that I unlocked the boot loader and just recently flashed my first rom, through Amon Ra.
If I could kindly ask you what info you need, and possibly how to access the info, to help me out. Do I need to flash a stock rom back?

I hope to god my hboot was stock. As I am running a previous RUU.
Hopefully once I do this, I will be able to S-OFF.

I flashed back to the first ICS RUU.
I think I know why it said permission denied. Because I didn't have actual root access.
At the point of trying the wire trick.
Edit: Achieved S-OFF. Thanks so much guys. Going from 3 days ago of flashing my first rom. To having to relock the device, run the first ICS Ruu, then doing the wire trick. Hell of a learning curve on these things. Thanks everyone for all the help.
Just a quick update. I was able to achieve S-Off while using this specific RUU. It took a few time flashing the RUU and a rooted rom to finally get it but it is possible with this RUU.

Fwiw I also was able to go s-off using this ruu and flashing supersu from a temporary amon ra. Not as tough as it thought.

Did you put the Juopunutbear executable and files into the same folder
that Android fastboot, adb, and other files are located?

It shouldn't matter. ControlBear has its own versions of everything it needs.

So this is what i've done and its failing with the error: "Secondary backup FAILED!!"
-I reset everything by using the RUU 4.03.605.2.
-I then set the debugging mode, unlocked the bootloader
-Put AmonRa3.15 as my recovery
-Flashed the CWM SuperSU.
-Confirmed root access by using TitaniumBackup.
-Started the ControlBearRelease_vigor_ICS_3.14.605.5 for the ICS leak process.
-Then I get the fun error Secondary backup FAILED!!.
I'm using the latest version of JuopunutBear 0.4. Help?
-------------update---------------
So I re-flashed the full RUU and went through all the steps and still same outcome. "Secondary backup Failed!". I read that only version .1 may work if this error occurs?

Ya that's the exact same version I have, not really sure what to do? I re-did everything back to RUU again to no avail.

you can try backing up your sd cards and partition them before you start the control bear process, and your sure you have root access correct? via rootchecker, tatanium backup or somethin gand usb degugging checked? if your still having issues look for apophis' thread named "so you need assistance, WE ARE HERE TO HELP" post in that thread im sure he can help you walk thru it..
When I bought my rezound used it had a constant boot loop issue. That's why I got it fairly cheap. I immediayly ran the global ruu hoping it would boot. It still boot looped. I was able to unlock, flash recovery and install newts xxx. I have tried to boot other romsand they give me issues too. Is there any way I can s off in my current configuration because I am pretty confident another ruu from my sd card just won't boot. Has anyone had success being on a custom Rom w global firmware hboot 2.27?
I created a similar thread the other day but it got so overwhelming and it was just confusing me more so I deleted it. I'm starting a fresh one so I can maybe explain myself better, not confuse anyone else and get better answers.
I just got a replacement Rezound in the mail today. My phone is currently on 4.05.605.14 710RD, LOCKED, HBOOT is 2.28.0000 & radios are 2.23.10.0123r/2.23.10.0124r.
That last time I was able to S-OFF I used the wire method and ControlBear for Windows. I went to the website Unlimited.IO and they no longer support Windows so I have no idea on how to S-OFF since I did it months ago. However, I did find ControlBear v0.1 for Windows here on the forums: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27764982&postcount=2079 My first question is will this version work for me? If you download it and open it you can see the zips contents. I wasn't sure If had to RUU back down to an earlier version for it to work? And last time I ended up being on a Juopunutbear HBOOT somehow.
So basically I want to be able to get back onto CyanogenMod 10.1 properly this time. I haven't done anything to my phone yet, still unrooted, on stock, etc.. I know my first step is too unlock it using the htcdev website but from there I'm confused, I can't remember the steps its been too long.
I need someone to please explain how I can get back to CM 10.1 and remain on the latest firmware/drivers/hboot etc. So I need help with rooting, s-off, how to get TWRP recovery back on, which to do first, etc.
I appreciate the help and I'll make sure I save this in case it ever happens again. Also, my apologies again for the previous thread, it was just too much going on, I just need simple steps.
Am not positive but i think u will need Ubuntu as that one wont work on the new 2.28 hboot. So lets start with u installing ubuntu on a drive or live cd

ControlBear 0.1 worked for me on Windows, took a few tries but it finally pulled through. These where my steps:
1. unlocked
2. flashed recovery
3. flashed [ROM] OTA-Global-Stock-4.05.605.14 710RD-Rooted 5/1/13
4. flashed boot.img from the rom
5. did wired trick with CB 0.1
so i think im good now? just have a couple questions.
- my phone now says tampered/locked/s-off? last time i s-off it didnt have that tamper there, is this normal?
- im still on hboot 2.28.0000 & radio 2.23.10.0123r/2.23.10.0124r. is this latest hboot/firmware/radio?
- im still on that rom that i linked above. im good to go ahead and flash and jb rom now?
- last, is there anything else i need to do with my phone? fixing the mainver, etc.

That's normal if you're still using an unpatched hboot. If you will still use some fastboot commands (I use fastboot boot zImage/fastboot flash zimage zImage alot) then look into vynlfreak's 2.27 patched hboot. DO NOT UNLOCK flash patched hboot instead.

Flash your rom and don't worry about mainver.
Just wanted to thank you two. I have always been hesitant about s-offing my phone. But seeing it here in a few simple steps gave me the courage to finally pull the trigger. I know I am super late to the S-Off party, but am thrilled to finally have arrived!
