Hi, you might wanna try to flash this ROM to get back to old Hboot
http://www.4shared.com/file/bAebAgjC/RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1284011_Ra.html
It may or may not work on your s-on device but worth to try.
ofc he can downgrade with s-on
i did the same, he is just too lazy to use search function

People like this annoy me. As the OP already stated, he can't downgrade with s-on. Just because YOU did, doesn't mean he can. His stock RUU is too new (1.47) and there is no exploit to get temp root yet for this RUU, so downgrading is not possible.
Agreed, he should use the search function, there are about 3 threads of people trying to s-off their 1.47 device. But in his defence, all 3 of those threads are filled with morons like yourself telling people they can do it. Newsflash, you can't.... yet
I'm waiting to :-(
Hope it will no take very long time ahah

Hi Evilier.
I just have few questions regarding to your phone, since its one of the "new" software, do you have the Wi-Fi Death Grip? More info can be found here.
And can you tell me which of the v1.47 do you have? Which country I mean.
Well this is going to be a stretch, since you're on the "new" phones software version, can you update/RUU to the latest (RUU_Saga_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.48.707.1_Radio_20.28I.30.0 85AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199476_signed)? Then double check if you still have the so could Wi-Fi Death Grip. Thanks a lot.
+ 1 for a method to unlock/root the "new " firmware. Please devs do your magic

5. Run the binary via 'adb shell /data/local/tmp/fre3vo'
If all goes well, you'll be kicked back to your computer's command prompt.
run 'adb shell' and you should have a '#' prompt instead of $
6. cd /data/local/tmp
./misc_version -s 1.27.405.6
From here you can then install the update/downgrade from the ruu exe for your phone from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002506
then you can just follow the alpharevx instructions as normal because you will be able to run gingerbreak etc, this works on the latest updates as i couldnt use gingerbreak to downgrade due to the vodafone uk update and i am now on a custom rom and s offed
hope this helps everyone.

This part got me all excited in the pants a little. I tried it, but the fre3vo script is hanging at "Frame Buffer handle: 4" for about 5 minutes now.
I will try factory reset on my 1.47 RUU and try once more.
@davidreece: can you confirm what RUU version you had when this worked for you?

Thanks for the tip. But I'm a little confused at step 5. I'm the ultimate Android noob so please excuse my stupidity, but what exactly did the step mean by "Run the binary via 'adb shell /data/local/tmp/fre3vo"?
How exactly does one "run the binary? I typed in the 'adb shell /data/local/tmp/fre3vo' command for this step and I get
fre3vo by #teamwin
Please wait...
At this point I can't type anything and actually waited...but after about 15 minutes, nothing is happening. Could you point me in the right direction?

You appear to be doing exactly the correct thing...just be patient...(although I admit it does say a few minutes).
See this refined guide....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16104882&postcount=16
I'd be tempted to reboot the phone and start at the beginning again, (although the first two steps may well error as the files will be already there - ignore that and proceed).
first of all many thanks for all the guides, secondly i've followed all the steps and everything works fine but when i run the .exe to actually downgrade it always says that i'm under 30% of phone charge (battery is fully loaded). I made a gold card and everything also... strange..

Just grasping at straws here....Try to fully charge the battery and then power down device and remove the battery, allow both the battery and the device to cool down.
Try again.
Now, again I'm not sure but a full factory reset from HBOOT may remove the existing battery stats....so you could try that?

When i tried I didn't get any error message, just thath obviusy it couldn't downgrade... today i tried again and I keep gettint low battery....

Make sure your battery has a decent amount of charge in it, you don't want to run out of juice in the middle of this.
You will need to have the android sdk installed, as you will need to use the adb tool.
Windows users will need to install HTC Sync in order to get the usb driver for the phone installed.
Part 1: In which we find that the Evo spreads easier than a Thai whore during tourist season
Code:
adb shell "rm /data/local/rights/mid.txt"
adb shell "ln -s /dev/mtd/mtd1 /data/local/rights/mid.txt"
adb reboot
Part 2: In which we find that engineers have no personality, but they make one hell of a bootloader
Put the files from Toast's Part 2, for nand unlock onto the sdcard (PC36IMG.zip, mtd-eng.img, recovery.img, flash_image)
then (after making sure the sdcard is remounted to the phone if you used disk mode to xfer the files):
Code:
adb shell "cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/local/rights/flash_image"
adb shell "chmod 755 /data/local/rights/flash_image"
adb shell "/data/local/rights/flash_image misc /sdcard/mtd-eng.img"
adb reboot bootloader
When asked if you want to update, say yes. Relax for a while, the update takes some time.
When the phone eventually boots back up:
Part 3: In which I find the whore, and make her install a custom recovery
Code:
adb shell "cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image"
adb shell "chmod 755 /data/flash_image"
adb shell "/data/flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img"
After this you should be fully rooted with nand unlock.
I highly recommend going through Whitslack's Starting Over method to bring your software and radios up to date.
You're done.
Pity this only came to light a few days before people are going to be upgrading to a new OTA.
No, this will not work for anyone who updated to 2.2.

The init scripts chmod 777 mid.txt on boot (this means that anyone can do anything to the file basically). By removing the file and linking it to mtd1, the chmod now makes mtd1 accessible by everyone after a reboot, which means that you can go directly to toast's part2 which starts with flashing mtd-eng.img.
Incidentally it appears the droid eris guys have been using this flaw to their advantage for a while as well ;D.
So no, really? What is "root?"
You do fine work, sir

Couldn't you then just use wits "start over" method for part two to make the process even shorter?

What would be more interesting is for someone on the new OTA non-root to see if this exists in the Froyo release. I'll look around for a posting of the OTA update non-rooted and try it on my smashed phone. At least I won't care if that thing looses root.
Could we get a "The easiest 1.47.651.1 root method with nand unlock" for dummies? I have no clue what to do with this code.
You need to use an ADB shell for this using the Android SDK....
I tried to use the Evo-Recovery shell and received permission denied errors.
I am not a DEV by any means, and do not claim any credit for any of this. However, for people who need help, this may offer some assistance -- this is definitely the easiest root method out there.
1. Download and Install Android SDK - Learn Here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694250
2. Open up a Command Prompt by holding windows button & pressing R or by pressing Run and typing CMD.
3. Navigate your way in DOS to the Android SDK folder, then to the Tools Folder
4. Then enter in the code in part 1. After each line press enter...the line will repeat below it.
5. Follow Toasts Part 2 -- Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=701835 -- Video found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUXTB0eydwE.
5A. Because you didn't do Toast's Part 1 of Root first (you used an exploit provided by the OP), you will NOT have a NAND Backup. Put the Custom ROM you want to load on your SD card, and after unlocking NAND protection and doing the wipes, load it from the custom recovery in lieu of restoring your NAND backup.
6. You're now rooted w/ NAND Unlocked!
7. I would then suggest going here, and running this so you have a fully rooted, stock ROM with all your radio/wimax up to date: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715915.
Anyone know if this method will work on an unrevoked3'd Evo? I am trying to acquire full root and I was going to use SimpleRoot today but if this will work...
Thank you for this! Question about number part 7. YOu suggest running the fully rooted stock 1.47.651.1 afterwards. Would it be a bad idea to Just run the fully rooted stock froyo 3.23.651.3 or even any other custom rom for that matter? i.e OMJ's EVO 2.2 Custom rom? Thanks

No because you need the engineering hboot to flash it since it's not signed by HTC.
Should work on 1.32 or 1.47. Nice.
Someone should test if this still works in the new 2.2 update. Good chance it does.

Hey! That's what I was gonna say!
DO NOT USE THIS IF YOUR PHONE CAME WITH GINGERBREAD Or newer Software. Use the Ace Hack Kit for DHD
How to downgrade to 1.32.405.6 WWE
HTC - Quietly S-OFF. Again.
About:
The problems started when HTC released their 1.72.405.3 OTA update. That update could not be rooted, and many people got stuck in stock roms. Now a downgrade method has arrived! After this process, you can use any root (+ S-OFF) method you want. Basically your device will be just like any other Desire HD with older build version. Downgrading will completely reset your device to factory defaults, so remember to back up all important data (such as contacts, game saves and sms messages).
System requirements:
HTC Sync (or ADB drivers)
Desire HD with build number 1.72 or higher
[Warning] Telus DHDs may lose sound because the 1.32.405.6 is not fully compatible with the sound chip. Just start using a custom ROM, and it will work fine.
How to downgrade:
Section 1
Disable any antivirus software
If you have a branded / regional (like Indian or Vodaphone) device, you have to make a Goldcard. Use "mmc2" instead of "mmc1"!!
Download the attached file and extract it
Get stock 1.32 PD98IMG.zip ROM, mirror
Put the PD98IMG.zip into your SD card. Do not put it into a folder, and do not extract it.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Section 2a [For Froyo ROMs, 1.7x and 1.8x]
Connect Desire HD to a computer. Charge only, USB Debugging enabled!
Open up a cmd and go to Downgrade folder, execute commands:
Code:
adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/psneuter
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell /data/local/tmp/psneuter
adb shell
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Section 2b [For Gingerbread ROMs, 2.x]
Connect Desire HD to a computer. Charge only, USB Debugging enabled!
Open up a cmd and go to Downgrade folder, execute commands:
Code:
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell
./data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start FBB00000 -end FFFFFFFF
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Section 3
If you got "#" in the result, you have temporary root! Proceed with commands:
Code:
cd /data/local/tmp
./misc_version -s 1.31.405.6
Close the CMD. Reboot while holding volume down, it will go to the bootloader
Follow the instructions (start the update)
Done. You can now click my thanks button! Proceed with old S-OFF methods, and remove the PD98IMG.zip from your SD. I recommend Radio S-OFF for new users.

Downloadcount for Downgrade package v1 is 15808, and for v2 it is 32012.
FAQ:
Q: Will I lose all my settings and applications?
- Yes, so make a backup with MyBackup Pro.
Q: I have done Radio S-OFF and SuperCID, do I need this?
- No, with those you do not need this kind of trickery.
Q: I have flashed a custom ROM with e.g. 1.84 build number, do I need this?
- No, with ClockworkMod you can jump between builds freely.
Q: It says '#' but I still cannot use root applications!
- That is normal, this method only gives root in command line. Just go ahead and downgrade.
Q: Is my phone Froyo or Gingerbread?
- Check it in Settings -> About -> Software information -> Android version. 2.2 is Froyo and 2.3 is Gingerbread.
Q: How do I navigate to downgrade folder?
- You can read this short and easy explanation.

Troubleshooting:
- "Main version is older"? You did not type everything correctly. Please try it again and see if any errors come up.
- "Error opening backup file"? You did not use "Charge only" -connection, or your SD card is faulty.
- "CID mismatch/CID incorrect"? Your device is branded. Just make a Goldcard, put the PD98IMG.zip to the card again and go to the bootloader.
- "Model ID incorrect"? Some Telus DHDs get this, just make a Goldcard.
- "Failed to set prot mask (Inappropriate ioctl for device)"? Use Gingerbread method to downgrade.
- Zip will not load in bootloader? Format your SD card to FAT32, no quick format! You can also try another SD.
- Problems while making Goldcard? See this post.

but you should use DHD RUU (not desire Z) and lower version numer (since unbranded rootable version for DHD is 1.32.405.6)
Great work to everyone involved, now finally those lame "root doesn't work" posts will vanish
Excellent
So has any one tried it?
Got temp root trying to flash old ruu...lets see
I have temproot working. Currently downloading the RUU file on my REALLY slow internet...
I think there is a couple of small errors?
cd /data/local/tmp
./misc-version -s 1.31.405.3
should be
cd /data/local/tmp/
./misc_version -s 1.31.405.3
also, the psneuter is a .txt file, just remove the .txt extension to use the file.

That is right. The psneuter gives temporary root, but as scotty2 said, it kind of shoots the current rom in the head while doing that..

3. adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo
4. adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
5. reboot the phone with the cable attached to the computer
6. adb shell (this gives a $-prompt)
7. /data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start FAA90000 -end FFFFFFFF (when everything is OK you'll go back to your own prompt, not the phones)
8. adb shell (you'll have a #-prompt now, cause the the is temp-rooted)
9. /data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.27.405.6
10. install the earliest RUU version you can find. I used RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.080 5U_38.03.02.11_M_release_177977_signed
11. after rebooting your phone has the old HBOOT (0.98.0000)
12. enable USB Debugging (Settings - Applications - Development) and reboot the phone again
13. Run the AlphaRevX binary and don't install the CWM recovery, we'll use 4EXTRecovery lateron
congratulations, your phone is now S-OFF!
download the latest EXT4Recovery from here
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery [PATH TO recovery.img]
fastboot reboot-bootloader
go to the recovery and install any ROM you like
hope this helps everyone.

i have actually managed it i used fre3vo from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1150006
but i combined the instructions with post 4 from the downgrade thread ( part where you have to chmod the version file then change the version.
first download http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=591335&d=1304969547
and also this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=661246&d=1311240968
extract them to the same folder then open a command prompt in that folder and follow these instructions
Instructions:
1. adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp
2. adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
3. adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo
4. adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
5. Run the binary via 'adb shell /data/local/tmp/fre3vo'
If all goes well, you'll be kicked back to your computer's command prompt.
run 'adb shell' and you should have a '#' prompt instead of $
6. cd /data/local/tmp
./misc_version -s 1.27.405.6
From here you can then install the update/downgrade from the ruu exe for your phone from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002506
then you can just follow the alpharevx instructions as normal because you will be able to run gingerbreak etc, this works on the latest updates as i couldnt use gingerbreak to downgrade due to the vodafone uk update and i am now on a custom rom and s offed
hope this helps everyone.

Thanx davidreece, great find!
Unfortunately it's not working for me I get stuck at point 5 running the fre3vo binary. I waited 20 minutes for it to complete, but it's still saying "please wait" with a blinking cursor. For the record, I'm using this rom: RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.47.401.4_Radio_20.28I.30.085 AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199410_signed. That could be the problem perhaps.
I also noticed that the the fre3vo link from your article is a bit older then the fre3vo version on the fre3vo thread. Of course i tried that one too, but it gives the same result for me
Any ideas?
Cheers
not a clue jorgen sorry i should maybe add the words "some"
just a thought when you ran the fre3vo command where you in adb shell or at the command prompt >, i seem to remember it happened to me the first time i tried it but i cant remember how i got it wrong, ithink you have to enter the adb shell command first then enter /data/local/tmp/fre3vo next or it may be enter them both together as one line i cant really remember, i was so surprised it worked if anyone else gets this to work could you please clarify the fre3vo steps and i will update the main post thanks, hope this helps, also i only used the link version not any newer one

Hello, you're right there appears to is a slight mistake above, from my understanding of this the commands they should be entered as I've shown below from your PC within a command shell window with a <RETURN> at the end of every line.
Code:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Support Tools> [B]adb shell [/B]
$ [B]chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo[/B]
$ [B]chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version[/B]

I will not supply the necessary files that is needed, you MUST know how to use SEARCH. I also suggest to give THANKS to those who originally made/uploaded the files.
Requirements:
Common Sense
- it helps A LOT
HTC Sync for Desire S - Installed
- for its drivers and such, or you may just install the "naked" drivers
Android Windows Tools - Installed
- for adb, fastboot commands
HTC-Dev unlocked
- to change recovery and ROM
Custom recovery
- to flash Root Access
SuperSU or SuperUser flashable zip
- to have Root Access
Root Access
- to change phone version
misc_version file (attached)
- file needed to change phone version
GoldCard
- to flash any version of RUUs
RUU executable file
- to DOWN/UPgrade

Quick tip:
Copy-Paste the cmd codes for you to not have any problem. 1 typo error (extra digit on misc_version) will render your phone unable to RUU.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Preparations
a. Create a folder "downsaga" on your C:
b. Copy misc_version, recovery.img(custom) on that folder.
c. Copy SuperSU's or SuperUser's flashable zip to your SD card.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Creating a Gold Card (use below or attn1's GoldCard Method)
a. Install Goldcard Helper from the market on your phone
b. Run it and copy the CID for MMC2, or email the info to yours
c. This number has already been reversed so go to http://psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard, fill out the required fields.
d. Download the image file that was emailed to you.
e. Connect phone as a "Disk drive" using USB cable.
f. Use Gold Card Tool to flash your image file to your phone's SD card. (you might need to reformat it first with Panasonic's SD Formatter)
g. Disconnect safely from the PC.
NOTE:Your sd card is now a GoldCard unless you reformat it again. You should now be able to RUU to any version you would like given that the bootloader is LOCKED.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Unlocking the bootloader
a. Go to htcdev.com/bootloader
b. Proceed and follow every step on the guide
c. You just need to install Android Windows Tools files for it. No need to download the SDK and JAVA.
d. Once done, boot on bootloader and you should be able to notice if its UNLOCKED.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Flashing Custom Recovery
a. The phone must be on bootloader, then go to fastboot
b. Open up command prompt then type:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery C:\downsaga\recovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
d. Access recovery
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Flashing Root Access
a. Flash SuperSU or SuperUser
b. Reboot the phone normally
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Modifying the version of your phone
a. Connect the phone using USB cable using "Charge ONLY" and USB Debugging is ON.
b. Open command prompt and input these codes:
Code:
adb push C:\downsaga\misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell
su
cd /data/local/tmp
./misc_version -s 1.27.405.6
exit
adb reboot-bootloader
c. Your phone should now be read as the version you've placed there (but not visible to settings)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Locking the bootloader
a. You should be on fastboot
c. In cmd use this command to lock the bootloader:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
c. You might receive an error message on your CMD but don't mind it. The phone should restart itself automatically on bootloader, and you should be able to notice at the top saying "***RE-LOCKED***", and might also has *Security Warning*. Just ignore.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Downgrading
a. Make sure you are still on fastboot with the above message.
b. Open the RUU that you've chosen to install on your phone
c. The RUU must detect your phone version as 1.27.405.6
d. If you have received errors, then you've done something wrong. Review everything that you've done and check the guide again.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If everything went well, you should have successfully downgraded your phone and your HBOOT.
Hey man it seems you did it! So HTC official unlocker can be handy after all.
Great job! I assume that now you will use Revolutionary to gain S-OFF and back to flashing?

Why would you use such an obsolete method to make a gold card?
after temproot,
windows batch script ( example filename: gc.cmd ):
Code:
adb push goldcard /data/local/tmp/
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/goldcard
adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc2/mmc2:*/cid > tcid
set/p cid= < tcid
del tcid
adb shell /data/local/tmp/goldcard -c %cid% -o /data/local/tmp/goldcard.img
adb shell dd if=/data/local/tmp/goldcard.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk1
Linux shell script (example filename: gc.sh ):
Code:
adb push goldcard /data/local/tmp/
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/goldcard
cid=`adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc2/mmc2:*/cid`
adb shell /data/local/tmp/goldcard -c $cid -o /data/local/tmp/goldcard.img
adb shell dd if=/data/local/tmp/goldcard.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk1

No way is it easier or noob proof. When I used this method on the Ace Hack Kit goldcard errors dropped to none. Since you are already running adb commands and pushing crap to the phone, what's the big deal with this?
With this, there is no need for hacky tools, not mounting/dismounting the sdcard (risking corruption from unflushed write buffers and improper dismounts), and no need to go to the revskills website.
This runs in about a second and it's done.

Mine is based on real results after thousands of uses of the Ace Hack Kit, which formerly did things the obsolete way.
Yours is based on preference.
But you are right, either way will result in a goldcard if executed properly.

You're welcome.
Make a note that those are the contents of a script - .cmd or .sh.
FYI, if you try this to make the goldcard image, the one generated should match the md5 of one you got from Revskills.
Once you do it this way, you will never go back.
@Scanob
Since you change your guide in step 6 to run RUU instead of PG88IMG.zip than the Goldcard is no longer needed isn't it?

b. Run the file and do not close
c. Go to your temp folder on your computer and find the rom.zip file.
d. Copy it somewhere else.
e. Extract the rom.zip and you should now have the official .img files from the RUU.
f. Use the respective files needed for the guide.
or the files is here (files exrtract from HTC_EUROPE_2.10.401.5 RUU file)

Yes it is the right thread to follows, but keep in mind that the ZergRush file linked there is the source code (zergrush.c) and will not work. You need the binary (file named zergrush). If you are rooted you do not need ZergRush to use misc_version. After the ICS update your main software version became 14.01.401.2. To be able to downgrade to lower (for example 1.28.401.1) version you have to change it, otherwise the RUU will not continue. This is what misc_version is used for.
Follow the instructions carefully and you will make it.

Thans Alot you are really a helpful person
yes followed all the instructions step by step, but when it comes to the 3rd & 4th command (adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/zergRush and adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version) nothing happens, 1st and 2nd command is okay they did work, yes the problem exactly i guess with the "ZergRush file", how to get the binary file?
thans in advance again

so what can i do?
Maybe it will be much easier to unlock the bootloader again, flash a custom recovery (it is rooted) and use the adb shell in recovery to push and execute misc_version. Then lock the bootloader and run the RUU

If you have "limited information" it is because you are refusing to read. Everything that you could possibly need is on the forum already. Read the stickies, read the major threads, make sure you understand what you are doing and why. It isn't rocket science - but people will not spoon-feed you the answers all day long as we have far better things to do with our lives.
