Downgrade Hboot? - HTC Sensation

hi i upgraded my phone to ics with the rcmix rom. I want to go back to stock because i have to send my phone in but i the ruu utility will not work. i suspect its because of my hboot. is there any way to downgrade it from 1.27.1100 to 1.18.0000? Any help is appreciated

Flash the 1.17 FW, then run the RUU

Your phone is s-off now? If so, extract rom.zip from ruu, and rename PG58IMG, copy to micro sd. reboot to bootloader.

As far as I know, your hboot version cannot be 1.20 when you've "revolutionary s-off'ed" (is this correct?)
Have you allready tried re-s-off'ing?

hboot 1.20 doesn't remove s-off, and hboot 1.20 can't be s-offed
RCMix ICE v1.1 doesn't have hboot 1.20 so you have obviously flashed a RUU or the new firmware did you install busybox, su, recovery, etc as required if you flashed a RUU no root no flashing new roms

Alright, I will try a different SD card. Hopefully this works. I am doing it correct though right? Just copy that file to the SD card and reboot into Hboot and it should just prompt me to update? I don't have to do anything before transferring the file.

Well i'm having issues too after flashing the firmware inc the new radio for ics roms. I can't use fastboot anymore (yes this was know), but i also can't go back to older hboot's either.
i'm getting cid errors while updating pb images. I have only 1 partition. Never had this error before with my sdcard.
This came after flashing hboot 1.20.
Any ideas to revert back to older hboot's ? RUU.exe files won't work anymore, can't flash other radio's etc...
Stuck on this for now...

[RESOLVED] ics firmware did update hboot, didn't flashed radio

Hey guys,
any ideas on this.
I used the PG58IMG.zip with the new firmware update for only the hboot and radio. The hboot was flashed, i'm now on "locked" 1.20.... but the radio "11.." wasn't flashed. Now i'm having issues with some dialer stuff and net connectivities. So my guess is i need to flash the new radio file.
The thing is i can't flash the radio anymore. fastboot won't work on this new hboot, and i can't use the PG58IMG files anymore.
When trying to use a PG58IMG file, i'm getting the cid error.
RESOLVED:
fastboot cid commands still work on hboot 1.20, just get your phone into hboot, and try supercid, this worked for me.

i'm switching between all options, but it is known that hboot 1.20... doesn't support fastboot yet, so that's something else.
for now i'm back to gingerbread, but i really liked ics, let's hope somebody will find a way to use fastboot on 1.20...
give it a try put downloaded zip on root of sd card go into bootloader and phone should see file and flash.
this is just what i have read on the ICS firmware thread.

yeah it sees the update, it's trying to auto install, can't choose yes or no, it's just scanning for the PG files and when it's trying to install the zip file it stops with a incorrect cid error.
install complete ruu (released by rc team), that'll install everything including radio, after that install any custom ICS rom you like, i found this method safest.
be sure to super cid your phone.

Well, you can always unlock the bootloader with htcdev. Then you can use fastboot again.

Here's some advice. I was having the same problem you were. What I realized was that I was unable to check my cid or use fastboot options because I was running a ics Rom which breaks fastboot. I'm tmous and my cid wasn't in firmware by default. So after trying to flash the update I ended up with the updated hboot 1.20 that said locked (supposedly just says locked but really isnt) I kept reading every page of the firmware thread and I found someone who added the tmous cid to the firmware update and posted a drop box link which worked like a charm. I reflashed that one and now I have new radio and firmware and my phone is much smoother. Hopefully this works for you as it sounds like exactly what I went thru. Going to go find you the link now
Edit* here you go, let me know how it works out

[Q] why doesnt is work for me?

Hello everybody. I have s-on but hboot 1.23 and my hboot is meant to support firmware 3.12 but when I tried to run roms on that firmware, ALL of them got stuck in a bootloop even though I flashed the boot.img file for each of them and did a full wipe. Is there any solution to my problem?
well simply u need it s-off now it lloks up and signed rom while u use an custom. follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
is a very good guide used it and worked for me.
I can't soff now because I have hboot 1.23 and revolutionary does not support it.
how did you get the 1.23 hboot?
anyway.. find a ruu for your device and go back to gb. s-off then
I can't all of the RUU files give unknown error:155
Try then updating to the 1.27 revolutionary if you feel brave enough

Or extract the rom from a ruu and flash it as pg58img.zip
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using Tapatalk
that's the problem, hboot 1.23 is utter pathetic and shoddy, it can't flash any firmware files whatsoever or do any advanced fastboot commands such as :fastboot update PG58IMG
I didn't put hboot 1.23 on, it came whilst i was trying a firmware for a rom.
Extract the full rom from a ruu and put it in the root of your SD card named PG58IMG.ZIP and go into boot loader. It should downgrade you to gb... Then you can s-off with revolutionary

If only, hboot 1.23 cant update any PG58IMG files, it checks that they are there, then says parsing and reboots hboot.

I have a question, how could i downgrade my HBOOT to 1.17 and if i do, if i restore my nandroid backup of my stock gb, will i loose my root? And custom recovery? And will that restored backup contain the software version, ruu name, radio and firmware and kernel? Thank you very much. And is it safe to have different ruu when you're with CID 1111111?
I followed the SUPERCID method of flashing thats why im on CID 11111111 i just want to make sure and verify if my stock rom was asia or wwe_asia.
Any response would be greatly appreciated. Noob here.

I have done this, when I send back my phone for repair. You can download the 1.17 firmware here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767 and flash it. If your on ICS now for sure it wont boot after flashing the 1.17 delete the firmware file PG58IMG.zip from your sd card (put your sd card on a card reader ), coz no other way from the phone you can delete that. Make sure you already have your nandroid backup, after deleting boot again at recovery then restore your nandroid gb. then you should be able to restore your gb.

You will be rooted same as you were when you performed you Nandroid backup. If you flash RUU you will lose root and custom recovery. Your radio, ril, and kernel will be what they were at the time of your backup. You don't need to doSuper CID again if you already did it once.

Okay, since you're currently running ics you should flash the h boot from 3.12 firmware in the link I posted previously because it contains the 1.23 h boot which runs both GB ROMS and ICS ROMS. Download a 3.12 firmware, you have already done super cid so any will work. After you finish your download extract the contents and locate the h boot. It should be PMG58IMG, place it on the root of your sd csrd. Now boot into downloader. Remove battery, replace it, hold vol - and press power it should see the PM58IMG zip and ask if you want to update, choose yes. When it finishes reboot you phone. Now reboot into recovery and install your backup. After you are back to your GB backup you can either remain on 1.23 h boot, you'll still be s off, or flash the 1.17 h boot in the link I posted above.

How to Flash recovery?

I have followed the instructions how to flash recovery yet it just wont flash it tell me wrong image or no image. The recovery is on the root of the sd card but when I put into hboot screen it wont update. I am not sure what I am doing wrong here.

Download that, install it, and flash the recovery from there.

Ok I am going to ask the obvious questions here.
1. Is the file name PG58IMG.zip? If not the stock recovery will not flash it.
2. Do you have the file on the root of your SD card? If not the stock recovery will not detect the file. If you do not know what the root of your SD card is, it imeans it is not in a folder.
3. Have you tried re downloading just in Case it is a bad down load?
4.have you checked your SD card with a reader to make sure it is a readable card?
5. Are you positive your bootloader is unlocked?
Edit:
6. Have you tried flashing it via ADB fastboot commands?

Ok if the bootloader is unlocked your Hboot would read either of the following.
S-offed via Revolutionary will say Revolutionary Shipped S-off or something like that, you will know if it is there.
S-offed via HTC Dev it will say Unlocked Shipped S-on.

Yes if you flash the official OTA file it will remove root. You only have to super CID if you want to be able to flash official ROMs from other regions besides your own. But saying that it is still a good idea to Super CID as some Custom ROMs may require it depending on what the ROM base is.
