what tool are u using mate? u need to flash a android RUU that is this 1 h t t p ://w w w.filefactory.com/f/c64d333a2755a421/
that will flash the old hboot and you will be able to use alpharevx to get s-off and root mate
I haven´t used a tool yet.
To downgrade to this Hboot version 0.98.0000 i first have to to the cmd thing.
After that i have to use the RUU.
Unmount your SD card from your computer, set connection as "Charge only".
Split the command in 2:
adb shell
/data/local/tmp/zergRush
I found the instructions on a german Forum android-Hilfe. Is there a instructions here on this Forum?? I cant find IT.

Follow the guide, just replace tacoroot by zergrush.
Details for zergrush and downloads can be found here
Code:
adb push zergRush /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/zergRush
adb shell
cd /data/local/tmp/
./zergRush

Use the link I gave in my post.
Both the guides are the same. One uses zergrush one uses tacoroot.
Rest all steps are same.
You need to use zergrush

Use either, whichever works.
As you are having issues with zergrush, try tacoroot.

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.

Big thanks: Scotty2, Guhl and the fre3vo team
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.
- PD98IMG.zip md5sum is: C3D244A9F056E48EE3851A14FF52204C

Look:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10428115&postcount=54
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.

You still will not have permanent root of 1.72/1.75! but this does allow you to downgrade and attain root on older Firmware

Did you get #, and did you run the misc_version executable? Did you write the version number correctly there?

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..
i tried again with _ instead of - at version and now its updating hope will be ok

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

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.

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.

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?

no sadly i don't, tried to run it also on another pc but it's the same.. there is also another thing, few days ago i tried to run the .exe hoping that it would downgrade, later i found out that i've got hboot 92 so i waited for a new method.. 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....
SEEMS TO WORK ONLY WITH VERSIONS THAT GOT THEIR UPDATE BEFORE NOVEMBER (EUROPE SHOULD WORK, ASIA/INDIA I DO NOT KNOW!!!)
IF THERE IS A NEW TEMPROOT EXPLOIT AVAILABLE IT SHOULD WORK FOR NEWER VERSIONS ALSO
okay now more in detail
first you have to know that you will loose all data on your system, please backup bevor doing anything!!
what you will need:
- misc_version http://www.thinkthinkdo.com/trac/project1/wiki/misc_version
this will change your version information on your desire s later
- zergRush https://github.com/revolutionary/zergRush/downloads
this will give you temporary root privilieges (so that you can change the version number)
- phone
- chargecable
- adb-shell (see this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1272595)
- windows os on your pc
- RUU http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002506
--> please notice: if you have a branded device, use a branded RUU to downgrade!!
1. Connect your phone to your PC in debug mode (Set option in settings (application --> developer)
2. unzip the downloaded files in a folder (e.g. c:/Users/yourName/Downloads)
3. run the Terminal (Windowsbutton + R --> cmd) and change into the folder where the files are (change folder with 'cd')
4. now type to the terminal (every line is one command!)
adb push zergRush /data/local/tmp
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/zergRush
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
now type
adb shell
cd /data/local/tmp/
./zergRush
--> now adb shell closes and restarts, instead of having a $ you have a # which means root
5. now type
adb shell /data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.27.405.6

(i'm newbie) i don't understand step 3..
This Howto describes how to get down from hboot 2.00.0002 to 0.98.0000
without using htcdev unlock
Requirements:
- misc_version
- zergRush from xda)
- Desire S
- adb-shell (HTC Sync contains it i think)
- RUU from earlier Version 1.28.401.1 RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.080 5U_38.03.02.11_M_release_177977_signed.exe - download now for free. File sharing. Software file sharing. Free file hosting. File upload. FileFactory.com
1. connect phone with chargecable, debug mode on, only charge
2. start terminal (Windows+R --> cmd)
cd .. (so on)
go in to the folder where zergRush and misc_version are
3.
type following
adb push zergRush /data/local/tmp
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/zergRush
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell /data/local/tmp/zergRush
4. when u got from $ to # (which means root) type the following
adb shell /data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.27.405.6
5. your desire s thinks its a version earlier
6. dobleclick the RUU und follow the steps
--ATTENTION YOU LOOSE YOUR DATA -- PLEASE BACKUP!!!
7.phone reboots with hboot 0.98.0000 S-On
8. follow the other steps from revolutionary to get s-off
PS: i tried the other way around and i am successful s-on again! (so no loss of warranty)
Is there anyone else who tried this method?
3 people in german android-hilfe.de forum.
but some seem to have problems when their desire is branded (dont know if the use branded ruu or not)
Hi,
Im reall sorry if im being stupid but what is misc_version?
It is a script that lets u change the Version on your phone. I will look for one

Adb.......
Gonna try this give me an hour and i will report back...
Is this safe?
for me it worked on first try. But be sure that you backuped everything! The downgrade will erase everything! ! !

What's the difference between using the misc_version here to "change" your version compared to getting your phones misc version .img from "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 of=/mnt/sdcard/mmcblk0p17.img" and then altering it and re uploading it?
To my understanding the one uploaded just patches your misc version where the other one you do it manually.
Or am I so lost I should go home?
should work either. but with the script it is easier, isnt it?
Because its easier for newbies to understand and your way uses more adb
Not that many people understand adb
Thanks, was just wondering.
Hello, nice would be a link from the Ruu.

It is not wise to link a specific RUU, since there are already new versions for all regions (Europe, Asia, etc.) and soon the branded will join also.
However a link to the sticky Stock ROMs thread should be handy
I can not find them
Do I need to flash the downgrade.zip?

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.

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?

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.

How do i get S-OFF and supercid on cid HTC_038 (x920d - dlxub1) ?
Thanks
EDIT ************* S-OFF Steps
Revone Download:
http://revolutionary.io/revone
1) Download the Revone file above and transfer it to your phone (or download on your phone)
2) Use a root file explorer like ROM TOOLBOX LITE and paste the file inside the /data/local/tmp folder on phone
3) Open a terminal emulator on phone using same app as above and type following:
su (enter)
cd /data/local/tmp (enter)
chmod 755 revone.bin (enter)
./revone.bin -P (enter)
Reboot
4) Open terminal again and type:
su (enter)
cd /data/local/tmp (enter)
./revone.bin -s 0 -u (That would be a ZERO) (enter)
Reboot
5) That’s it! To get rid of the tampered, or relock, follow instructions below
To remove “tampered”
open terminal
cd /data/local/tmp
su
./revone.bin -t
These are other commands that you can fill in above to
-u – Unlock the device
-l – Lock the device (as if it was never unlocked)
-r – Relock the device (mark the device as relocked)
-t – Reset the device’s tamper flag.
