Hey. I have been browsing the forum and looking for a solution about how to downgrade hboot in order to do http://revolutionary.io/ and then install the newest Radio.
I read in a topic that these guides should work:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1443636
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18122984&postcount=237
Could anyone approve if it's possible or give a suggestion how to do it right?
If you have root already, then you can miss out the steps to get temproot in the first guide, and start with copying misc_version to the phone. I don't think the second guide is useful in this case.
Edit: in other words, you don't need tacoroot

Hi all, I am new to Android and HTC phones, in advance I know that my question can not have any sense. Today i have rooted my Z 1.82 with method described in:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905261
After it I have rooted 1.34 and i have also two questions:
1) is it possible now to upgrade to 1.82 and keep root,s-off,supercid? Or which Rom you advice and where i could some interesting ones?
2) referring to method i have used to root what method you suggest to undo all? Can i get somwhere a ROM for unbranded 1.82? My CID was HTC_032 if it is useful info for you.
Thanks

Hi,
If you get a custom ROM which uses the 1.82 base you will be able to keep root, SuperCID and S-OFF. The ROM that I am using (link in my sig) is Virtuous ROM which is based off the 1.85 release. Really great if you want the latest build with Sense.
You can use the same method (i believe) to Unroot, SIM-Lock and S-On.
Regards.
Ok ,thanks. Actually now I am using virtuous 1.0.1 as you, but my problem is that I didn't make any backup for my stock one before rooting. Now I would like to now how to back to the status from before rooting. My telcom provider is Era so I need stock Rom branded by Era :/

I think yes I ve used it to downgrade from 1.82 to 1.34 to get permroot. It is pretty well described in one of the sticked guides, and actually in my first post you can find the link.

This is the "Accessories" subforum.
As already mentioned, if you want a more recent Sense build, flash Virtuous. Its based on 1.85, and has some added features, but really not that modified. Much easier than messing with the newer official ROMs (which are not presently rootable).

To root 1.82 you must downgrade.
Safest and best way is the goldcard way
I had 1.82 unrooted desire Z
i used the goldcard way.
this link brings you to the topic.
Once you reach the third part.
you have to do following first
Start command promt.
Browse the command to you ADB folder
enter: ADB Shell Chmod 777 /data
Now you are able to pull the misc file from you phone.
This is normally only available at rooted.
now i run Cyanogenmod v7 =)
Kind regards
Resurrecting a 2-month old thread, posted in the completely wrong subforum, was probably a bit pointless.
Just saying.

Hello I'm ending if anyone can give me some detailed steps on getting root back after upgrading to 2.3.5. I've seen one post with instructions, but when it comes to rooting an HTC device, I get nervous. I just want to use my Wi-Fi tethering again, so would I just need to unlock my bootloader using HTCdev and install CWM? Do I downgrade?
Someone please help me out.

How did you root it the first time, AAHK or HTCDEV? If you used AAHK you might still be S-OFF; just flash a recovery and flash a rooted ROM. If you used HTCDEV I advise that you use AAHK this time around. Google "attn1 aahk" to find it. You will need to downgrade; it's in the Kit.

Please i need help. I want to root my device. I have unlocked the bootloader using HTCDev. i have ICS,s-on and HBoot 2.00.0002. I have tried Superoneclick but it hangs at #5 all the time. Pls, is there any other method? (NB : I dont want the downgrade method) I just want a "My device" compatible type. Thanks.

Super one click is not the way to go if you want to learn, it's not that difficult to downgrade and s-off of you follow the guides. If you do downgrade then flash the eng hboot(is an eng 2.00.002) of not then just flash the boot.img every time you change roms. Look in the index on the dev thread it will give you all the info you need. Just follow the guides to the letter and you'll be fine

Since you've got your bootloader, unlocked. Flash a custom recovery. Then flash SuperSu or SuperUser via recovery. Don't ask where to get it, search.

Thanks but please how do i flash supersu? Would i need to download the zip file or what. i installed from Playstore and backedup so i have the apk file. Any usefulness with that?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda app-developers app
No, Play Store won't help you. You need to follow Skanob's post, and do exactly what he wrote exactly in the way he wrote. If you don't understand how to flash - read more until you do.

ok thanks. i just did 4ext via recovery. any easy step from there? thanks. really appreciate.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda app-developers app
He wrote "flash custom recovery", that's what you did.
The next step is "flash SuperSU via recovery".
Google it.
If you won't understand what should be done - it means you shouldn't have root access on your phone. And it's not a derogatory remark, but a safety measure - before the next thread like "I tried to use some root program, now my phone doesn't boot and I don't know what to do". This isn't a support forum.

I have read the tut for brick/unbrick and downgrade hboot in dev section. And if I read it good there are 2 methods of downgrade hboot
1) brick/unbrick device and downgrade hboot (first post tutorial)
2) change CID and run RUU with lower hboot (second post tutorial)
If these are the options I think the second is the easiest way to downgrade hboot, but why are most people downgrading there devices by bricking it? Are there advantages or disadvantages for each method?
Edit I have hboot 2.15 and want downgrade to hboot 1.06

Changing cid seems to have caused a few bricks for some people when trying to update to official JB OTA.
So would you advice to use the first method, although I already OTA updated to JB?
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
I have downgrad by the first method and i have test all the way to hard brick my phone
And I can say that it's impossible to hard brick your phone with this tutorial.

I think the issue happend when the cid was already changed on ICS, and you tried to update to JB. Changing it when you already are on JB shouldnt be any problem.
But I havnt done any downgrading myself, so I dont know... Its just what Ive read.

Just to be clear there is ONLY one way to downgrade hboot and that is with what you call option 1.
For what you describe as option 2 that ONLY applies AFTER you do option 1. If you want to run a RUU AFTER you've completed the downgrade you also have to do what is stated in the second post. Although it's much easier to use the the all in one tool kit reset your main version. This is achieved by and pressing the "Main version fix" button using the all in one toolkit. That will save you trouble of pulling mmcblkp23, hex editing it, then pushing it back to the phone.
Alright I understand it, I will read the tut again and try with my nooby knowledge of linux to downgrade

It's a pretty straight forward method. Try not to panic if you encounter a problem. The good news is that it's almost impossible to truly "brick" this phone. Just take a step back and reread the instructions paying close attention to the details. Post your questions about the process in the main thread, the people that follow it typically have a higher level of understanding then the forum overall.
If you don't have the required 10 posts to be able to post in the development sections go post some BS ones somewhere in XDA so you can get into that thread.
Oke thanks :thumbup:, it sounds doable to downgrade with these instructions

I said that because at the time it would have made your phone up to date before doing the downgrade but he is already on JB so that RUU wont work and only needs to do the downgrade.
