Does anyone know if its possible to call HTC and have them flash 1.85 onto the phone? If so how much to do that so that the people who are on 2.20 can have fun with the rest of us? Everyone knows money talk.

Once you're on the 2.20 firmware, your hboot has changed. You can't downgrade once you have the newest firmware. It just isn't possible. You would have to buy an entirely new phone and hope that it was on 1.85
Plus, if it WAS possible for HTC to flash 1.85 on it, couldn't we just run the RUU and do it ourselves? That's why it isn't possible. You will ruin the phone.

Not necessary impossible..what if they had a different procedure whenever they first install everyone on the phone to begin with. Not just an ordinary ruu but something else.

Ok, I'm on 1.85 with an unlocked bootloader. Is there any way possible to return to 100% stock?

Yes as long as your cid is11111111 you can relock. Then run the 1.73 RUU

Thanks gunny. Will that bring my baseband, kernel and firmware back to stock numbers? I'm not sure what my CID is, but I know it's super CID. I'll have to boot into bootloader and check.

Won't it say relocked ? If that's the case HTC would still know something is up ,or not?

No I haven't. So if I ruu to 1.85 I can reunlock? I got my phone with 1.73 or whichever it was. And I haven't officially updated it ever. Lol.

1.85 had some bug fixes in it and is a better base imo. Not directly relating to your issue but just making an overall recommendation.

Just ruu'ed to 1.85, reunlocked and flashed twrp. Now I am copying my TiBu folder back to the sd card (Did a full sd card wipe). Will report back after I flash Viper, and report results. Thanks for the suggestion, just wanted to make sure it was safe to ruu still, lol.
radio isn't really the issue. More likely to be improved with dsp update. These are flashed with RUU as well. Let us know how it does.

The fact that it's refurbished has no bearing over whether or not it's rootable.
The main point of the question was if I should or shouldn't... If they didn't reset the bootloader or main circuit board I can end up with another brick. That's what I'm trying to avoid this time

The ruu tells you step by step what to do. These phones are more tempermental than Samsung stuff. If you rush it and miss a step you will probably end up with a paperweight

I agree that Samsung+Odin makes life easier. But I like the challenge in AT&T (and Motorolas). Whatever floats your boat. Glad you got it rooted. Can you put a [fixed] or [solved] tag in your title? That way people can easily find the answer instead of making a new thread
