[Q] Roll back at&t evita one x from the JB OTA

AT&T Evita One X
I did the JB OTA update to 3.18 and am curious how (if possible) to rollback to 2.20?
I have searched XDA for similar threads, but no luck. If I have started a new thread of something previously discussed, please point me in the right direction.

If you were s-off or at least unlocked beforehand, yes. If you were never rooted, no, unless you can get the X-factor exploit to work for you.

Neither one. Had to do an exchange of my old hox due to an issue that arose after root.
X-Factor??
Is that a root method?
Used a couple of Hansoon's last time to achieve root.
Haven't found a "one click" method for the AT&T Evita yet.

I click roots I don't usually recomend, you are gonna have to play with your phn to get root. If you succed you should s-off asap but I don't think its possible yet, good luck and have fun .

Yeah, I kinda found that out the last time I rooted my hox. Used a couple different Hansoon all in one toolkit to achieve root last time. Unfortunately, no way to get s-off as of now. (unless something JUST happened)

Had to do a warranty exchange on my HOX also; the warranty device center rep thought i was weird for asking for a refurb that had 2.20 firmware...

If you are rooted or want root, you should never install an OTA without doing the proper research: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2181929

You'll most likely be able to root and S-OFF your phone if you took it but as always it's best to do that BEFORE you take OTA's, or even better wait until someone elses does and see if anyone complains of not being able to S-OFF. Down side is you won't be able to take the OTA's at all after rooting and doing S-OFF, you could still manually flash them but not take them from the software update section of your ROM.

Thanks may I ask which OTA are you i dont heard about OTA is comming out till mid september

I'm not running stock so I can't really tell you what exactly I WAS on. I can on the other hand tell you the firmware I'm on which may or may not be the same because of the custom rom I'm running.
ROM Version (firmware version I think): 1.54.401.5

Thanks

Hwy guys. I am new to the htc scene and I was wondering if there is a root for the latest 4.4.4 update? Do I have to go threw htcdev? Any help would be appreciate it. Thanks!

If you're on Verizon htc one or one m8, htcdev is useless.... Big red Locked it down so it won't work on Verizon... Sunshine ($25) works up to 4.4.3, but so far afaik, not 4.4.4 yet

Hi, is there a time when we can expect an update to Sunshine for the 4.4.4? I also just purchased the Verizon HTC one m8, and it just updated to the 4.4.4
Thanks,
waiting to root and unlock

Exactly and we have the greedy you know whats at verizon to thank for that. All the other carriers allow htc dev but oh no not the V that should be a bad word lol.

Folks; please check the boards. This is covered in other threads. Jcase reported that he hopes to have Sunshine 3.0 out in January. Until then, unless someone else figures out an exploit for 4.4.4, or Big Red decides to permit bootloader unlock, you'll have to run stock for a bit longer.

Older Version of FireWater?

Hey guys, I am having some issues with FireWater, it has given me a few different error codes and I was wondering if anyone has a older version I can try. WeakSauce works fine, SuperSU updated binaries no problem, and ADB is working as it should, I have had a mix of failed and whelp error messages.
Here is my phones current HBoot info:
HBOOT-3.16.0.0000
RADIO-0.89.20.0222
OpenDSP-v26.2.2-00538-M8974.0106
OS-1.12.605.11
Software Information:
The version of Firewater I am currently using has an MD5 of: 2acbc3cc5b078368aa33ea133dd85040
If anyone has a different version I would really appreciate a link to download it, seems a lot of people are having issues with the newest version, but when it came out it worked very well and considering I haven't updated my phone to 4.4.3 or 4.4.4 who knows, maybe a different version will work for me.
If no one has one I'll buy SunShine, but I'm stubborn when something works for others, but not me so I figured I'd see if anyone has an older or different version I can try before I buy it. Thanks!!

I would like to know also, because all I ever see is posts where no one can get it to work at all with a factory fresh 4.4.2 firmware which it is supposed to work on.
Has anyone got firewater to work ?

I can't get firewater to work. I get the "whelp this sucks" message. I have a sprint HTC One M8. My android version is 4.4.2 , my software version is 1.54.651.10 and my Hboot is 3.16.0.0000.

Guy I think you are a bit lost here lol, but this is the forum for the verizon m8, and your talking about a sprint m8. The only reason I"am mentioning it is because someone else will and may not mention it as nicely. Personally I think its good to know that its not only the verizon m8 version that it wont work on also.

You're wrong Mr Hofs, I believe firewater can work on my phone. Redpoint73 believes firewater can still work why can't you?

I didnt say it couldnt I just read posts where people said it wont work. If someone can get it to work then there are people interested in knowing. Personally I already have s-off but that does not mean I do not know or come across people that do not and are wanting to use firewater, then I can tell them how if to get it to work if anyone knows.

Sunshine is a nice one stop shop anyways and nothing wrong with supporting a dev with cash for a change.

Besides the fact that an older version of firewater is not going to help you accomplish anything....from the firewater website:
"firewater s-off is the result of many hours of hard work by beaups and fuses. The firewater binaries you download may not be shared, rehosted, bat’d, integrated into a one-click, repackaged, hotlinked, or otherwise distributed or reused. The source code and methods in firewater are closed and private."

[Q]Any ways to roll back to Android 2.3 with S-ON and Unlocked?

I really like CM 7, but to use it you need the Firmware that came with Android 2.3
Or there are ways to use CM 7 with Firmware 3.33?

consider just doing S-OFF, 4pda has a few nice guides

What happens if I lock the bootloader and try to install RomUpdrageUtility?
On my HTC Smart I was able to rollback to an older firmware this way
