Hello all... Ive been searching and searching but can't remember where I read it but anyway..I'm a noob to sprint cdma phones and am ready to tackle downgrading my boot and flash my evo but I thought I read somewhere that I first need my msl ... I tryed calling sprint today for it , giving the cust. Rep. A story of me needing to reset my phone but she wouldn't give it to me and told me how to go into my boot loader and do a factory reset and I wouldn't need it... For ****s and giggles I did it and it all went through without asking for the msl... Now I'm confused.. Is the msl required after flashing to re activate the phone... This is all new to me I've always had a GSM phone and flashing never required a password or code.. Thanks in advance any help is greatly appreciated....

I did not need my MSL when I downgraded Hboot from 1.5 to 1.4. In fact, with all the ROMs I've flashed over the last month, I've never been asked for it and do not know what mine even is.
Thanks for the quick reply... That was the only thing stopping me from doing anything.... I've been trying to find where I read that it was the first step before doing any rooting,flashing, etc. I could swear it was a tutorial but hey I could be wrong.... Thanks again....

A easy way to get it is msl reader I think that's what you call it on the market . Works great to snag your msl. Incase you ever need it.

Yea you can but the msl is not need for the downgrade process
Thanks , I'll finally be able to flash tonight.. I just came over to sprint from Tmo in March and this being a cdma phone I wanted to make sure I was doing things the right way and have been reading the different procedures everyone suggests... The last phone I flashed was the G2X months ago... Just want to say the atmosphere here is great compared to the G2X section.. It turned into a flaming forum over there .. A lot of Devs left because of it... Too many people being demanding.... Thanks again

About a month ago I went through the hboot downgrade process to try to get s-off. I had all the right drivers installed and everything else. Revolutionary just kept giving me an invalid beta key. Because revolutionary didn't work I updated back to hboot 1.5 cause I already had root with that. With the New ics roms coming out and having to update the firmware, I decided to do the downgrade again, but revolutionary refuses to work. Invalid beta key is the message I get. And to get to the point, I want to know if anybody has any solutions for this. I've heard of a few people that said one week it didn't work and next week it did, or other stuff. Anybody have any helpful information?
Any tips or tricks are appreciated, will try just about anything

Does revolutionary actually use your actual serial # to check against the beta key? Meaning, if you had another one that worked (like mine) and used it, would it still refuse because it doesn't match your device?
This sounds elementary, but are you typing in the Serial yourself or are you cutting and pasting the serial # from the revolutionary prompt? When I ran revolutionary, it prompted me for the beta key and had my serial # in brackets, like [HTC2018482] or whatever. I copied everything into the brackets, pasted it into the site, and got my key that way. It might be a good way to make sure you're getting the same values that revolutionary is seeing.
When I used it, I had to copy and paste the key, manually retyping it didn't work. Hopefully this helps

Who needs S-Off when there is 4ext recovery? I am S-On HTC unlocked and running ics with sense Roms. All flashed successfully.

You have a point, but I can't use any if the ics roms. They all reboot on me. After flashing I can't even unlock the screen cause it reboots. Also, when official ics is out I'm going to need to update the firmware. I don't want to get stuck with another hboot with the update

I'm thinking about intentionally bricking it and taking it to Sprint and I'll either get another one or something else. Not sure what to do yet. I guess I'll wait till official ics and see if there is anything new to help with the hboot and if not I'm getting rid of this. As much as I love HTC this might be my last one cause of all this hboot and bootloader crap

Try turning the anitvirus protection off. Then reboot your pc/laptop. Then run the exe.

What I think could be :
When you have generated the Revulutionary key you were in HBoot version 0007/8
Now your HBoot version is 1107/8.
I do not know if there is a kind of check intergrated between the generated key and the tool which could cause your trouble ?
I had this problem when I was first using it. What I did was to copy the key and then paste it into wordpad and then I typed it manually when asked and that worked for me.

I don't know why, but I can't copy and paste. To clarify the command prompt won't let me paste my key in. I don't know why.

I had this too. It's Tmobile's "MobileLife contacts" app. If you have an unlocked T-Mobile (TMO) phone and are using it on AT&T or another non-TMO network it won't let the app connect to TMO's servers.
Use Titanium Backup or whatever you have that works to uninstall it (After a backup of course!).

I think he meant, you don't give them your old phone when upgrading.

I believe there is an unroot.zip floating around somewhere. I stumbled across it a while back, but never used it. You can also flash a complete stock RUU and go back to factory as well.
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda premium
Thy don't take your old phone when you upgrade so you won't need to unroot. Unless you are sending the phone in as an exchange toward the new phone. In which case, you will need to unrest and lock the boot loader.

So, I've been stuck for 2 weeks at this point now and decided now is the time to ask for help since I've run out of ideas. :/ 2 weeks ago my rooted HTC Thunderbolt had finally been forced to update, I was too lazy at the time to block the update properly with the root tools. But back to the main topic, it forced the update and was done incorrectly. I reverted back to a previous backup and rom due to the issue. Now comes the biggest thing that screwed me. I figured why be rooted anymore? Just go to stock and be al fine and dandy and call it a day. No, of course it's not that simple, nothing ever is. In the middle of the unrooting with Revolutionary my computer crashed on me! So my phone had been left unrooted but without the installation of the firmware. Now when it boots, it's "**LOCKED**" and "**S-OFF**" So I can't force it to install any roms of any sort to reattempt everything. So basically I'm not able to boot beyond fastboot/hboot. Is there any possible way around it? I really can't afford to buy a replacement right now. I'm starting school again in a matter of days and need every dollar just to buy my books for this semester. Please somebody save me :[

It didn't work. At the end of its attempt it said, "Update Fail! Main Version is older!" So do I need to just find the original RUU?

That sucks. That means your hboot isn't going to allow you to downgrade. Can you run HTCdev bootloader unlock or the revolutionary tool and try the Ruu again? If not you could try finding the ics pg05img Santod posted a long time ago. That's the only thing I can think of off the top of my head that might work.
