[Q] Please help: backup CID is missing - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have tried unrevoked 3.21 over and over and i still am gitting the same error message. "Validation error: backup CID is missing"
Is there any way to fix this?
EVO 4G
HBOOT 0.97.0000
radio 2.15.00.09.01

Thanks for any help.

From what I have read, it is a known issue and will be fixed with the next release of unrevoked.
Check this thread out: http://www.incredibleforum.com/foru...5775-validation-error-backup-cid-missing.html
Probably not the answer you want to hear; but I hear the next version of unrevoked should be out soon.

[Q] root for replacement EVO

So I just received my replacement EVO.
Hardware: 004
hboot: 2.10.0001
Radio: 2.15.00.11.19
Software version: 3.70.651.1
PRI: 1.77_003
PRL: 60675
Can someone please tell me the best way to root/unlock with S-OFF?
I see 2 different recent root methods but not sure which one to use.
Im not sure if unrevoked works on the hboot im running. I havent done much research on unrevoked since I heard so many bad things in the past. I just want a sure-fire way to root and be completely unlocked.
Also, I was wondering which method leaves my current hboot, radio, software version, and PRI alone. Or will I really need to downgrade my hboot? I thought I read somewhere we need to be on 0.76 hboot since the newer hboots dont play well with some roms.
I also see some people using 1.90 PRI. Im confused there cause my replacement is completely up to date and it has PRI 1.77?
Unrevoked works will all current hboot versions.

[Q] PB31IMG error while trying to downgrade

I went through "root 2.3.4,downgrade,and s-off" and got to the point where I launch the bootloader in HBOOT. It reads the file and then says I have an older version and fails. I am confused because the PB31IMG I used I downloaded from here. And what version is older? The 2.2 or the HBOOT?
I have S-ON
Android 2.3.4
HBOOT 0.92
Software # 4.08.605.2
Baseband 2.15.10.07.07
SLCD Screen
Thanks...I have been at this since yesterday. I didn't know it was going to be this much of a pain in the ass to do this

Somewhere along the way you either missed a step or something didnt work right. It gives the to new firmware error because on a stock phone you cant downgrade os versions. The steps in the thread should have made downgrading possible though. I would start from the begining and try again.
Tried 3 times and always get the same thing...will try again tomorrow.

Problem unrooting HTC Evo 4G

Hey guys, thanks in advance for any and all help.
Here is the situation. I have a work provided HTC Evo that I rooted forever ago and now I have to return the phone to my employer so they can turn it in for upgrades. So, I need to unroot my phone.
Here is the problem:
I got the phone back to S-On and went to flash the stock PC36img file on the rooting/unrooting page in the forum and I am getting the error "MAIN VERSION IS NEWER"
I am trying to find the version that I need for my phone so here is the information I think you need:
Android Version: 2.2
Baseband Version: 2.15.00.11.19
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.17-gee557fd
[email protected] #15
Software Number: 3.70.651.1
PRI Version: 1.90_003
Hardware Version: 0004
HBOOT - 2.10.0001
Radio 2.15.00.11.19
Also, it has just begun power cycling so this may get interesting.....

Try getting S-OFF again, then flash the PC36IMG.zip again.
Same issue (sort of)
Hello....
I am having this same problem. Except I somehow managed the new 5.07(or whatever it is) OTA and yet I have hboot 2.10 and the same radio as mentioned above. I tried using unrevoked to get S-OFF again so I could approach this another way, but I just get an error message from the reflash utility that tells me the root failed and my firmware may be too new.
Originally I flashed the unrevoked s-on utility, then I got that message "MAIN VERSION IS TOO NEW". Stupidly, instead of researching it further, I just found a zipped version of 4.67 and flashed it with Amon_Ra, which left my hboot as ver 2.10 . After this, I did an update through the settings menu (This has worked for me before to get back to something that looked like it had never been rooted) and now I'm stuck with the new OTA and an old hboot and I get an error every time I try to run an exe RUU, and I have tried all of them from 1.46 to 4.67.
Help.

[Q] firmware to new? unrevoked3

Hi All.
I have spent hours now on this and have hit a brick wall. My desire is running:
s-on
HBOOT 1.03.0003
MICROP 031d
RADIO 5.11.05.27
Android version 2.2.2
Baseband 32.49.00.32u_5.11.05.27
Kernel 2.6.32.15-g2633d94
software 2.33.161.6
(hope this is enough)
I have already rooted 2 of these phones but just cannot sort this one out. Running unrevoke3 comes up with "firmware too new?" and revolutionary says "not supported at this time".
I have made sure that all the HTC Sync stuff has been removed, set up usb debugging and unknown sources has been checked.
If anyone has any ideas to help me out I would appriciate it.
Cheers,
Spill.
Use revolutionary instead.

He already tried that.
Downgrade your HBOOT, then it will work I think: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1301388
