Hboot 2.10.0001
S-on
Radio 2.15.00.11.19
I followed the 2 step unroot process and was successful getting s-on but only after I downgraded the radio. I have the PC36IMG on the root of SD card but when it scans, it shows it but then quickly says no image or wrong image.
I realy need some help and appreciate and helpful advice.

I think that we can only go off of what you post. Be nice! Someone, somewhere hasn't named that file right I'm sure.

Does the S-off on the bootloader mean we'll be able to load unsigned roms with nand access?
Yes.

doesn't this mean we'd have to revert back before we can do anything?
No, not really. Only if you wanted to go back to stock for warranty purposes.
So what does "a-off mean" and why does it matter.

it's S-off and it means the phone is truly unlocked. right now we can only do things from recovery, with S-off we can do anything we want and do it with the phone booted up.

if this S-off mod was done to the old Hboot wouldn't we have to go back and use the old hboot?

Just because it means there's the potential that we'll have to use your technique to revert the HBOOT back to .77 in case the new Unrevoked Forever method isn't compatible with .79.
No.
With nand unlocked, we can flash radios forwards and backwards, as well as kernels, roms, etc.
If you were wanting to remove the hacked SPL though, you would have to go through the typical reversion steps listed in other threads.

[Q] 2.3.3 to 2.2?

can someone point me in the direction as to where in these forums i can find how to downgrade 2.3.3 to 2.2 for my evo? or if its even possible? thank you...i hope.
I don't believe its possible...yet.
not possible as yet unless you have s-off. if you are asking for 2.3 root (hboot 2.16.0001) then the answer is no.
not yet if u find one please share.

No it has to have been s-off first. Only way to do that is if you flashed 2.3.3 from XDA.
If you did the OTA and you're s-on you're currently stuck.

Lol, nothing, just wait it out, i have the "bad" chip and my phone is fine. If your unrooted, it probably won't die before you are eligble for an upgrade. Unfortunatly, thats the best advice i or anyone can give you.

Ok, since your on Gingerbread, youll need to downgrade to froyo.
Use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912
Then you'll need to root it once your on 2.2.1
Use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858996
I know its a lot but make sure you read all of it before you actually do it.
Oh, and GFree is a package that uses exploits to gain root. It also sim unlocks. I believe there is a youtube video on how to use GFree, it looks sketchy but follow it lol.
Here is the link for that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4B4y0CQUDo
There is a part two so find the second part.

I'm not here to bash anything, so don't take this the wrong way, but DO NOT USE THIS METHOD. I did the same thing after a while it will turn off your phone randomly and brick it. You probably won't believe me but you'll see, it has happened to a ton of people. I just don't want people to make the same mistake I did. DO NOT USE THIS METHOD.

Cheers. I am probably the most guilty of filling the S-OFF dev threads with my ideas and trials and thought last night that the poor people that just want to S-OFF using especially revone have to trawl through far too many pages of useless and unnecessary information to find the answers they're looking for. I think it might be a good idea for the mods to have a really good clear out of the threads. Specifically revone to reduce the amount of junk..... Mostly my junk lol.
sent by homing Dragon.....
Ok so as I stated in the revone thread before moving the chat here. I don't know of any way I can upgrade, whilst s-on to the newest hboot. Does anyone know any possible way? CID HTC__001 so think I'm stuck currently.... Sort of puts a spanner in the works for the test lol.

No no you misunderstand I think. We can use a signed firmware with 1.54 hboot inside, rename to PN07IMG.zip and it should work. The hboot needs to start writing then we stop it half way causing it to be corrupt. Then we can use the tool swapping the hboot and misc images inside to ours and downgrade hboot.

Maybe we could apply the official OTA's? By reverting to odexed stock with stock recovery, locking the bootloader (for good measure) and then install the OTA when it arrives?

Hi The War Horse & Theshawty,
I have been following your adventures regarding S-Off closely. I have tried everything to get S-Off on 1.54 hboot myself (War Horse our minds work the same way – tried everything you did myself haha). I have also been trying to downgrade the hboot. In regards to your plan to brick the hboot please be careful. I successfully bricked my hboot by entering RUU mode and flashing a firmware.zip with 1.54 hboot (cid and mid matched my phone). I timed it perfectly by holding the power button 1.5 seconds before I ran the “fastboot flash zip firmware.zip” command. The phone reset at exactly the point hboot was writing. The trick was to flash a firmware.zip that includes 1.54 hboot (must be for your phone cid and mid). Anyway, the downside of this is that because the phone was reset while the hboot was writing the phone obviously won’t boot and is stuck in QHSUSB_DLOAD MODE. Anyway if you know how to use QPST maybe you can flash 1.44 hboot that way. I don’t have QPST so my phone is now bricked. No matter, I tried everything else so it was worth a shot.
---------- Post added at 01:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:15 AM ----------
Guys I think you can upgrade using the new DE RUU. You will have to use Windows for this. It will not work with fastboot. There is a way to bypass the cid and mid checks for an RUU. Also since the new RUU has a newer hboot the hboot check won’t fail. To do this you need:
-ARUWizard.exe (get this and the accompanying version of adb and fastboot plus all required config files/dlls etc. from your Windows temp directory when you run the ruu.exe – copy them all to the same directory)
-ROM.ZIP from the 4.3 DE RUU
In the ARUWizard.exe directory update android-info.txt to include your cidnum and modelid num. Then run ARUWizard.exe. The reason this will work is when ARUWizard.exe runs the cid and model id check are performed using android-info.txt and not by reading the phone. These steps should pass now.
If you upgrade this way OTA’s won’t work because your cid and mid won’t match the OTA.

I found QPST but don't have any of the hex, xml, drivers, images etc needed to flash the phone but I know I am in QHSUSB_DLOAD MODE because the phone is lifeless (no charging LED or anything). When I plug it into a MAC or PC I can see it listed as a USB device in device manager with the name QHSUSB_DLOAD MODE.
