I have 2 HTC flyers I bought used from Cowboom
Both came on stock HC with HBoot 1.11.0011
Neither has root
One has s-off, the other s-on
I would like to downgrade to GB, but then only tutorial I've seen shows hot to root and get s-off, but I can not find the tutorial to downgrade to a GB Hboot, so I can install a GB rom. The only tutorial I've seen dealt with 1.11.0003 HBoot.
TIA

Thanks a lot! That's very much appreciated. I'm still trying to crack my htc flyer at the moment, only 2 years late.

Okay guys ... I know the rules ... do a search and some reading before you ask a stupid question.
Well, I've been searching and reading for the last two hours and I have not found an answer to this, so here goes:
I am on HC (came that way), I am S-On and I've unlocked on htcdev.com (and can easily re-lock if needed). What I'd like is to get S-OFF, but Revolutionary doesn't support hboot 1.14.xx SO ...
Can I downgrade hboot WITHOUT running the GB RUU? My preference would be S-OFF and rooted (with CWM & SU) but keep HC for now.
If not, would I be correct in running Globatron's HC->GB downgrade, rooting then running his GB->HC upgrade?
Thanks!

No you can't downgrade without an RUU or my light downgrade methods. Hboot is only part of the story.
I'm wondering if you had any luck Rooting it? I have a same problem, mine is also HC and with 1.14.0005 HBoot, how did you Root it?

I think you need to downgrade to GB, root and S-Off with Revolutionary, then you can upgrade back to HC with globatron's method.

I had my phone flashed to MetroPCS and the guy updated my hboot to 1.5 I saw a thread a couple months back about being able to downboot my hboot from 1.5 to 1.4 with S-off but a search didn't help me find anything. Anyone know the steps/point me in the right direction?

I've answered this a few times on this board regarding the CDMA version of the EVO 3D. I'll quote from my previous posts as I don't think anything has changed. Please post back if you still have questions!

Here are a few reasons why we aren't able to downgrade the Hboot, like was done on the EVO Shift twice:
[Q] Downgrading HBOOT 1.5 --> 1.4

1st time around: shift didnt 'have nand write lock on the hboot partition, hence being able to temp root and directly flash eng hboot to the hboot partition.
2nd time around: shift didn't have the nand write lock on the misc partition, hence being able to temp root and flash a lower version to the misc partition then hboot would allow a downgraded version of software to be loaded.
esseentially it seems as if htc was doing the bare minimum to protect the shift from being unlocked/rooted as all these methods were known and some were used on the HTC EVO prior to the shift software releases.
this has been covered a few times on the forums, but i hope rehashing old ideas/attempts might spark new ones! sometimes it only takes a slight tweak to an old method for it to bypass a patch and work! hope that helps!

If your hboot was soff before he upgraded, then it would still be soff, so if you're on hboot 1.5 with s off, then you can downgrade. If you're s on, then you're stuck.

Yes my S-Off flag is still showing in the Bootloader
I know downgrading from 1.5 with S-on is currently impossible but I know it can be done with S-off
Should've clarified I guess
Edit: yes it is CDMA

Man. Wish I have s-off
Dear fellow XDA members,
I am in need of some assistance. I just got my HTC EVO VIEW 4G and unfortunately, I accidentally upgraded to Android 3.2 HoneyComb without doing the Revolutionary S-OFF, so currently I did an HTC Dev unlock on my View but it still says "EXPRESS PVT SHIP S-ON RL" and it also updated the "HBOOT-1.14.0005." I tried checking out Revolutionary website and it does not support HBOOT-1.14.0005, so I was wondering what can I do? Do I need S-OFF for anything? I currently have Clockwork Mod installed on my View but it still has S-ON so I was scared about flashing ROMS. I am trying to flash Desensed 1.5 but is scared that I need S-OFF to do so... Can anyone chime in to help me please...
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
PS: BTW, I been searching and reading and rereading.... I just don't understand..
1) You'll need to downgrade to GB
2) you'll then need to run revolutionary for S-OFF
3) you can then re-upgrade to HC S-OFF

I don't think there is anything in the tool, that globatron hasn't already written a guide for on the Flyer. And none of them are hard to do. Anything particular you are trying to do?
ive done the OTA update, and then unlocked using HTC-DEV method becasue my HBOOT is 11.11.0011 and revolutionary didnt liost that hboot as being compatible. Ive been able to install a revolutionary Clockwork mod nad then went ahead and flashed LeeDriods ROM. But now it just starts up with the R2D2 sounds, boots a little and restarts.
Ive been reading and I think it either needs to flashed from fastboot or need to downgrade to GB and relevant hboot.
Also even though I have unlocked the bootlaoder from htc-dev it still says "s-on"?
I'm in the same boat. My flyer is
Hboot 1.11.001
OTA to HC
Unlocked the bootloader using HTC method
Load CW recovery.
Can I just follow the directions to down grade?
sorry to ask people for help again.. but there are alot of guides for unlocking/downgrading/flashing etc. could someone just point me in the right direction of one guide that is applicable to my particular case?
thank you.

I don't know why people keep coming on here and asking why they still have S-On after HTC Unlock. Its never been stated that HTC Unlock gets you S-Off, it just gives you an unlocked bootloader, which is not the same thing.
If you want real S-Off, downgrade and root using globatron's guide:
htthttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1307759p://
Then you can upgrade back to HC if you want using the following guide (also by globatron, becuase he's the man). You will also need to have the HC Hboot if you want to flash a HC custom ROM, which is also described in the following guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358758
If you want to flash a custom ROM without getting S-Off, from my understanding you can do so using fastboot. But I haven't seen any step-by-step guide. You might start reading here:

It might be just me but I don't see anything in these guides with anything to downgrade the hboot on 16gb Flyer to gain compatibility with Rev. root method. It is not for me personally but seems others here are having that issue. With those newer hboot versions is there even anything that can be done at this time?
My understanding is that when unlocked with HTC dev you can flash recovery then adb push gb hboot while in recovery then run appropriate gb ruu. Once on gb rev s off then update to hc s off

Hi,
I'm asking here as I can't post in developement itself (2 Posts only)
Is it possible to install this rom with S-On? I had to switch to KingCobra, because DT was bootlooping. But KingCobra seems to be dead.
Sorry if this was already answered before.

You cannot flash DT with S-On because you will need to downgrade your hboot to a compatible one (I don't know if you're CDMA or GSM). That's why it is bootlooping.
GSM. Thanks. Is revolutionary still in active developement for Hboot 1.53xx? Most downgrades seem to be a pain in the ass
I do not know if you know about this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1743466 Follow method A,B and D to get S-off. But its a great alternative if you don't want to wait on revolutionary to make a s-off tool.

Some s-on users it worked...see link
It is a bit ambiguous though. if you see the last page praveenkv1988 says he actually did the wire trick before trying this. No one actually says he did this with s-on they just started from there
If you try it you'll have to do it on your own risk. its untested so you should tread lightly
I've been googling from last two weeks but didn't find the solution.. I went through tons of xda posts but none of them helped.
Please tell me how s-off flyer with hboot 1.11.0011? I've unlocked through htcdev site( after giving up). Now how to s-off and then root and recovery.
HTC flyer p510e

(In a hope how to s-off)
Hi. Why do you want to s-off your device? If you unlocked it through htcdev.com you don't need to s-off and can install custom recovery and root it using quickroot 1.1.3. Mine for example rooted+custom ROM without s-off.
I've been said that we MUST S-OFF or else we would face bootloop or brick situation !!! Is that true? Please provide me the link where I can continue further with rooting,recovery and custom Rom installation. curretly I've only unlocked via htcdev.

Bootloop and brick doesn't depend on s-off. It depends on head and hands (and may be luck a bit). Here is the link for rooting your device (quickroot 1.1.3). It perfectly roots almost ANY HTC device. There is an explanation, so read carefuly!!! After installation you'll free to use any app that requires root. And try to install custom recoveries from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1775840 and from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1413915. Detailed instructions can be found in the corresponding threads. After you install custom recovery download custom ROM for your device and flash it through recovery. Good luck with flashing .

Make sure that your Device is locked/re-locked before flashing the RUU
After which my Hboot was returned to 1.11.003, I then used revolutionary to gain S-Off.
