[Q] Stock/Signed T-Mo roms to downgrade - Obtaining S-Off

Hello all, just got the MT4GS I have latest boot loader and update previous owner did it right before I purchased.
I thought we should get together and see what works and what doesn't.
I have tried the temp root method and SuperOneClick and the official HTC unlocker to no avail.
I know on some phones its possible to downgrade using some sort of official package or signed update. Is there such thing for our phone?
Threads I used for reference:
[APP]SuperOneClick v2.3.2 - Better LG Phone Support!
permroot for S-off MyTouch 4G Slide
Anyone notice the MT4GS Bootloader Unlockable?
Poking at latest OTA update for fun and profit
[TOOL] PERMANENT-ROOT (NEW!) & Temp-Root (v2) for any MT4GS (Windows)

There has to be a way to get this done. I found a signed and stock firmware and instructions

If you are S-ON with the new HBOOT, then at this time there is no known way to revert... hopefully we can get the devs. of Revolutionary, etc, to update the root methods. Also, if you want to update just to check it out, make sure to turn S-OFF first if you'd like to give yourself the option to revert later.)
1. Download the stock firmware package from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1178082
2. Rename it PG59IMG.zip and put it on the root of your sdcard.
3. Boot into the bootloader('adb reboot bootloader' or power down the phone then hold volume down + power), let it read the update package, and press 'volume up' to update when prompted.
4. At the end it will prompt you to press Power to reboot. It scared me because when i pressed Power, the screen went off and seemed to not come back on, so i pressed power once again, and it booted into the system.
That's it! Just remember that if you do this, it will of course erase all your data... your phone will be like it was out of the box.

It won't work because the version is too old obviously. These are specially crafted archives with data in the beginning of the archive. You can't modify the android-info.txt because it throws off both winrar and 7zip.
I tried changing the version number in a hex editor. This makes the crc fail. Is there a way to just alter the crc to the new CRC? This way when HBOOT checks for the checksum it will pass and downgrade. I know for Unreal Tournament based games hackers would use a method called bytehacking where they are able to change certain values without upsetting CRC checks. Would something like this be possible?
I found a tool that recovers it and fixes it I have to try flashing in HBOOT but I doubt it will work I'm afraid the important data in the beginning. Maybe if I sign it, it will work?
The latest idea I had was using the OTA update, it contains a firmware.zip what if we modify the contents of firmware.zip with the contents of the stock firmware? You can flash using fastboot (i hope) as it will be formatted as an update and will downgrade the hboot as well.

are you S-ON? i mentioned in that post that it will only work if you happened to have S-OFF from before, which i did. but so far no one has been able to do anything with S-ON and the newest update. have you tried Tacoroot?

The search button is your friend ._., there are 5+ threads that share information and methods none of which work but the people on said threads are putting information and ideas out there.

Sorry noob question, just got the Mt4gs and It's updated to newest, how do I check if I am s-off or s-on? Also in short what does s-off/on mean? Thanks in advance.
Doubleshot on XDA App

Power the phone off with fastboot turned off. Or pull the battery when you power on hold the lower volume key and power simultaneously to boot into hboot. It will tell you S-OFF /S-ON. If you have latest OTA you're most likely S-ON.
S-Off: This term is used when describing the security radio. With S-on only signed ROMs may be flashed, when S-off unsigned ROMs may be flashed IE custom ROMs.

HYUH at team revolutionary has discovered that the new bootloader from latest OTA has hboot protection similar to Evo 3D. HYUH has also written a version of misc_version that writes to the correct partition for our doubleshot. Link here. Downgrade still doesn't work because when it checks hboot version it realizes its older and will abort.

correct. the only possible way to root is if your HBOOT happens to be S-OFF, in which case you could downgrade and then root. there is some work being done, but i don't know that anything has quite worked yet.

If you see S-Off on the bootloader screen, then you are S-Off, which is the ONLY thing that the Revolutionary method accomplishes. However, if you read the information on the site (the FAQ), it provides the file you need to flash to get root. Once you flash that file, you will have everything you need to start making backups, customizing, and flashing other software. The Revolutionary method is by far one of the easiest and best methods of obtaining S-Off for a device like the Tbolt.

Cant seem to root, someone pm and help me

I've tried the new supertool v3 and the aahk hack and it doesnt seem to do anything. It might be my computers fault cause it keeps giving me weird errors like my usb device has malfuctioned or windows doesnt recognize it. I'm lot and would like some assistance if someone could help
thanks,
mike

finally figured out it was my other computer so i moved to a different computer and am using the supertool hack and i prepped it like it said and it seemed to do something, then i went to #3 cause it says attempt perm root so i clicked that and it seemed to be doing something and then flashed at me and said rooted! and my phone turned white and i had 4 option like bootloader, reboot, reboot botloader, and something else i forgot. I'm not sure what i should do from here so i clicked just bootloader and it took me to a different screen then i just restarted it and i downloaded terminal emulator and typed in su to see if it was rooted and it wasnt. I'm confused once my screen turns white and asks me what to do

By "Supertool", do you mean Bubby's root method?

Idk who its from, but i got it from this website and its called htc supertool and says it works on almost every htc phone

No he mean the HTC supertool from the general android section. Use the Ace hack kit. It is the only proven way that I know of. We have all used it at one time or another and as long as you read the manual you will be fine.

This maybe a little exaggerated, but you may download Ubuntu and run from a USB drive for example and run aahk from there...

It's not recommended to run from a USB drive. Use a live CD instead. (It's in the effen manual for aahk).

You can install the live CD in a usb with unebooting, that's what I mean

lol what are you saying? The Hack Kit is the best way to go. The OP has been instructed to use this tool and if he still runs into a problem, the OP should re-read the the first post in the hack kit thread and the manual to be sure he/she didn't miss a thing. If problems still persist I believe the IRC chatroom is still in service.

I should stop writing short replies, I mean you can install the live CD in the USB with unebooting or other tool, from there use the aahk

The nature of a forum dictates that time will pass between questions and answers - until someone who has the knowledge and time to answer your question happens to see it, it will just hang there.
The user who posted underneath of the post I quoted has brought to your attention the fact that you have not supplied enough information to answer your question. There are different answers depending on the versions of software installed on your device, and depending on your situation the answer can include "there is none and you are stuck with an unrootable device."
Due to the diligence of a user named jkilo we now have an irc channel where people are sitting around for people who have questions and want answers in a more timely fashion.
Most of us have never been to the site you came from, so again, we have no idea what you have seen, tried or been exposed to.
If you showed up at a car forum and asked "why doesn't my car start" - most people who could answer your question may very well be turned off to posting in your thread because they don't want to spend who knows how many posts dragging the information necessary out of you to determine what your problem is.
How to ask a question
Please don't take this post out of context and think I am picking on you, but seeing postings like this from time to time I am hoping to bring some level of education to yourself and others so that in the future people can refrain from being at odds with themselves and reach a more timely conclusion to issues they have that require resolution.
As mentioned above - what version of the software are you running on your device, and what is your hboot version?
Are you s-on or s-off?
What recovery do you have installed on your device?
What operating system are you using on the computer you will be working with during the rooting process?
That should be enough to get us started on working out a solution for you...

Additionally to easily access the bootloader info go into settings-power- and uncheck fastboot. Then power off the phone. Once powered off hold the volume down rocker and push power for a moment and then release the power button. This will take you to the bootloader screen where you can see your version number.

Those bits of info will get you closer to where you need to be. Also see if there is a line stating S-ON or S-OFF. There are three versions of the bootloader from HTC. The two most common are 1.44.0007 and 1.45.0013. The one you REALLY want to see ends in .0007. Revolutionary works on that one and it works like a champ. The other one is more problematic and need the HTC Dev unlock which at the moment is less than impressive. I expect that the devs here will figure that out soon. That is a total guess but a good one as those guys are determined.

Okay, don't do any official system updates before you continue - you need to obtain s-off first, and you will be fine from there on.
The revolutionary method will work on your device.
First, go to this readme about it and get the doubleshot fastboot drivers:
Revolutionary Wiki
(these are the htc drivers that came on your original microsd card with the device)
Then go to the Revolutionary website and read the page, then choose your download (windows or linux) and supply the required information to download the software.
Next, on the device while that's downloading:
Go to settings on the device, and then application settings, and then development.
In that menu turn 'usb degugging' on by clicking the check box, and you might as well do the same for 'stay awake'
Also go back to the main settings menu and go down to power, then un-check fastboot at the bottom of the list.
Hit home to get back to your main homescreen.
Now, after having installed the usb drivers on the computer and set up the phone to be ready to work with, you should plug the doubleshot into the computer.
Close any autorun windows or anything like that that may pop up.
Run the Revolutionary program. Yes, install clockworkmod during the install. (if it doesn't for whatever reason don't panic - you can do it later easily once s-off)
Once you are all done with that, you might as well reboot the phone again just to make sure it's all fresh to continue.
If you were able to install clockworkmod, then you can flash the root package:
Root flashable zip file for 1.44.0007 hboot 1.28.531.9 or 1.28.531.10
Put it on your sdcard, and then reboot to hboot and select 'recovery' from the menu options.
Just choose the option on the clockworkmod menu to 'install zip from sdcard' and find the superuser zip package. Flash it, if it doesn't take some users have had to flash it several times in a row to work, so on this one it's worth trying again if the first fails.
Once that is done, you will want to boot up normally and wait until it's ready for you.
Then go to the Google Market and get the app Rom Manager, open it and tell it to flash clockworkmod recovery.
Make sure it then tells you the proper phone name before proceeding, let it download and flash the most updated and official clockworkmod recovery.
( Clockworkmod 5.0.2.7 is the most current official recovery at this time )
----
If you need to install clockworkmod recovery and you still have a stock recovery after doing revolutionary ( maybe you had no internet at the time or something ) then this is the easiest way to replace it after you are s-off from revolutionary:
Blue6IX said:
Replacing Stock Recovery: Clockworkmod
If you have S-OFF but stock recovery, the easiest method is to:
[1] - Follow the instructions in This Thread to get temp root.
[2] - Without rebooting, add your market account to the device.
[3] - Install ROM Manager from the market.
[4] - Flash Clockworkmod through ROM Manager.
[5] - What you do next is up to you (but a clockworkmod backup isn't a bad idea.)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And now that you are up to date on being s-off and then having the most recent custom recovery, you can do anything you want from here.
Install custom ROMs, flash back to full stock (but still s-off) retail launch, or anything in between.
Any questions just ask!

Thank you man tomorrow I will try its late now but thanks for taking your time and energy to help me out

(Solved)Stuck in Bootloader/Relocked

I am currently stuck in the bootloader. To make matters worse, I relocked to RUU and am stuck at Sending with that. I am Super CID which I think is the problem. To make matters even worse, I no longer have my unlock_code.bin file.
Is there any hope for my phone? Also, the RUU process has completely wiped my phone. Thanks for any input in advance. I have searched and searched for an answer but haven't found anything useful.

How can I unlock my bootloader without the unlock_code.bin file? Update. I reverted back to original CID CWS__001 and am going to try and run the RUU again.
I tried to s-off my wife's phone and it screwed it up somehow (rather I screwed it up). I simply wanted to take it back to stock to start fresh and now I am stuck in the bootloader with no Rom and a locked phone.

You would just go to htcdev like you did in the first place and go through the unlock process again. But, you can't do that now because you just changed the CID back to CWS__001 which is blocked by htcdev. And I'm guessing you didn't succeed in getting s-off? If so, you've just used the one and only time you can change the CID without s-off to change it to a CID which is blocked, which means you have no way to unlock the bootloader again, ever. I hope your original plan was to stay stock because that's your only option now. Maybe that's for the best though, you seem to be doing things without fully comprehending what you're doing or the potential catastrophic results.

If you have a locked bootloader and the correct CID there should be no harm in running the RUU. The unlock process (from memory, I could be wrong) doesn't require the phone to be booted into an os, it's all taken care of while the phone is in bootloader. That's kinda irrelevant now anyway as it isn't possible anymore.
Are you using the usb cable that came with the phone? You can try using a different usb port, usually the ones on the back of the pc tower are the best.
May I ask, how exactly do you think the s-off process screwed up the phone? It either succeeds or fails, and there should be no serious repercussions from either.

It sounds to me like you might have actually done a factory reset from bootloader which corrupts the sd card. The s-off process has no ability to change the sd card. Did you have HTC drivers and adb/fastboot all installed when you tried the s-off process? That's probably why it didn't work.
The corrupted sd card might be why the RUU won't work, can you still get into TWRP recovery? If so, you can use the mount menu to mount it to your pc and format it. If not, you might seriously be in trouble. The combination of these things you've done have possibly rendered the device completely useless. If this if the case, I hope this has been a learning experience. It's really important to have a firm understanding of what you're doing (and the results and potential risks) when modifying your device. It looks like you've rushed into all this without understanding it all properly.
In any case, let me know about what I asked about above and I'll do my best to see if there's a way out of this.

Took your advice about the usb port. Switched it to the back and the ruu worked. Will I be able to run the root exploit again? Yes, this definitely has been a learning experience. Coupled with my lack of sleep and overall frustration I made some bad moves. Thanks for your patience and help though. Much appreciated.
And no, I could not get back into recovery after I relocked it. It would send me right back to the bootloader. Also, I did do a factory reset from the bootloader. Believe me, taking mental notes all the way here.
Sent from my HTC One XL using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Now that you have a working os, you could be able to use the exploit again to unlock the bootloader etc. Just take it slowly though, do some reading so you gain a bit of knowledge. And if you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask.

Yes, I have done it before, on my One X. Not quite sure what went wrong. Maybe the issue with my wife's phone was preexisting and reared it's ugly head in the process. I have been rooting and nodding phones for years. I am not a complete noob. I am experienced in java programming and have created many interesting applications for my phone. Perhaps I should take my java knowledge and automate my s off experience.
