[Q] HBOOT Downgrade to 3.18.0.0000

Hi There
After latest HTC OTA-Update was hboot updated to 3.19.0.0000.
I unlocked bootloader again and flashed cwm-recovery, after reboot WiFi didn't work, all Wigdets deleted and many more.
Then i tried to flash ruu from here, but all i get is the Mesage that hboot on my device is to new.
With hboot 3.18.0.0000 i could flash this ruu without problems.
Now my Questions :
Is there a way to downgrade hboot to 3.18.0.0000
If yes, could someone upload this version (or tell me how to extract from ruu)
Thanks and Greetings
...and Goldcard Method didn't work

May I please get the link for your RUU so that we can try and find the fix for your issue ? More details on the phone model and system update version will be helpful to understand the issues.

sorry and ok - here are more Informations :
The OTA-update from HTC i flashed is : OTA_A5_UL_K44_DESIRE_SENSE60_HTC_Europe_1.50.401.1-1.33.401.1_release_385376.zip
The RUU i tried for repairing my device is the .zip from that thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2763591
my device ist HTC Desire 816 (single SIM / Europe)
hope that helps
Greetings

I would first rest the phone twice from the settings, menu rather than from the recovery. Doing this way might erase your internal sd card. So backup and then reset to factory settings twice before filling in the details after first reset. This should fix your issue off the update has been successfully installed.
My phone is a dual SIM version and there appears to be no single SIM version RUUs available apart from the one you showed me. However there appears to be a backup floating around in the xda forum did the single SIM version.
The other possibility if the first one doesn't work is to install the kingsense 1.0 or 2.0 custom Rom that has the 3.18.0.0 radio and then flash the single SIM RUU. The custom Rom when installed on single SIM throw sms and GPS problems but that shouldn't effect you as you are going to install European RUU on top of it.
Let me please know how it goes if you wish to experiment. In anyways, don't forget to backup the current Rom before you experiment as that would be your savior when in trouble.

re
Thanks, but nothing helped.
I tried all you told.
Tested to flash after format /system /data & /cache.
The reason is hboot (bootloader), ruu doesn't flash, when hboot is newer than in ruu.
Other idea ?
Greetings

But when you flash kinghunkis Rom, your hboot version must change to 3.18..... For sure though. Then the RUU should work.
However, no one is successful so far in installing that RUU from what I gathered from the very minimal comments in that thread. It could be the issue with that RUU file as well. Otherwise try Chinese Unicom version RUU s for dual SIM and then try the European one that you may be after. I really can't experiment and let you know as I don't have the single SIM mobile. Sorry.

re
can't flash kinghunkis rom - it stucks in aroma after showing system requirements (possible reason - my hboot)
found a hboot for my device here : https://github.com/kmdm/ruuveal/issues
because flashing this is very dangerous - but i think i'll try out soon
when this hboot is not correct the required for my device or if damaged - it will destroy my device unrepairable
will tell you, when i have news

There are many chinese websites that are currently offering RUU's. Just use google translate to understand what they are for?
Hit thanks if I helped you.

re
thanks for your links
i tried both ruu's but couldn't flash
possible reason could be the cid (goldcard-method didn't work)
all attempts to flash only hboot didn't work (not allowed or signature verification failed)
it seems, that i have to wait for a new ruu
greetings

Sorry to know that nothing is working for you? Anyways, how about the new RUU provided jacktackle in the general section ? Did you try it?

Nope, here is the new link. http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-816/general/desire-816n-middle-east-t2839093. I am currently on that rom and it will install the hboot, bootloaders and OS and openDSPs again. So hopefully this should work on your piece.

Your device is stuck in Recovery mode. If you actually press the volume up+down and power key at the same time it will bring a menu that allows you to factory restore your device.

Thank you in-advance.

can you please help me with a link? and my device is M8 one eye not desire, do they use the same ROM?
I tried flashing-0p6bimg-zip using this download http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58457494&postcount=375 but it said large file and went into rebooting loop which didn't end till I removed the file from the sd card
Then I found somebody recommending this download RUU_M8_WHL_L50_SENSE60_SPCS_MR_Sprint_WWE_4.20.651.10_Radio_1.09.20.0119_NV_SPCS_1.52_003_release_418488_signed_2 and I tried it but finally I found my version is 4.35.40.1.3 and the one I was trying install is 4.20.651.10 and it said please get the correct ROM update utility and try again.

Sorry my bad, I meant M8 eye rom. Check the rom threads for a compatible one if they are there. I never used a eye and not up to date, but i think the normal M8 roms don't just work on the eye

Perhaps you can finde somthig you can use in this thread about How to root M8 Eye.

Those RUUs won't work on your device. The first is for the Euro M8 (not the EYE), and second is for Sprint M8. The RUU has to match your carrier version (CID) and model ID (MID). In fact, those RUUs are for a different hardware, and will fail to install. If they installed, they probably would brick your phone.
You need to find a 4.35.40.1.3 RUU, if it exists.

How to reinstall Stock ROM on HTC One M8 from LineageOS

I have installed LineageOS on HTC one m8, now I want to go back to stock rom. I tried to stockrom.zip via TWRP, but It doesn't work.
Is there anyway to go back to stock rom?
Regards

You can convert back via RUU, it is a standalone program which guides you through the process. It is required that you flash the stock recovery. Unfortunately, I cannot post links to external sources yet but HTC offers the RUUs directly on their page.

RUUs are model specific (model ID or MID, and carrier ID or CID), thus the error message. And not all models have RUU.
If you can't find your model's RUU, an alternative is to restore the stock TWRP backup for your CID:

Hard brick - Help

This is my problem. i Have a Desire 530 family plan that i software brick.
I was on 1.01.352.25_2 and a ota to 1.36.352.14 and now i cant RUU anymore because HTC dont have the RUU 1.36.352.14 only the old one.
I try to install the boot.img and the system.img over twrp but the phone restart when i flash the system.
I cant RUU because HTC dont allow me install a older RUU on a system that has a update on it.
Any of you have idea of how to proceed?
I tough to install a trwp backup of 1.36.352.14 but i was stupid and dont do it.
Thanks.

Hi,
I think you have to s-off your device with sunshine after that you can
downgrade to 1.01.352.25.2 and take the ota again (if you want).
It costs 25$ bucks but it's worth it... for sure better than a not booting device ..IMHO

Ok but how I can apply sunchine without system? It's possible to apply it over fastboot?
I also mail HTC to get the rom but they give me link for TMO and this one are Family plan model...
Thanks for the reply

same problem.

You are trying to download an exclusive file.
Exclusive categories and files only downloadable by paid membership subscriptions.
And i read on the web this site are not 100% trustable ;/

Your Issue so is easy to fix d{-_-}b
Your first mistake was to mess with your phone without doing a proper FULL BACK backup, that's like Step 1 from any guide. step 0 unlock boot loader, step 1 do full system back up.
Second, find the images from HTC website, your second mistake is not telling people what carrier you need the images for. If your having issue finding them your first go to should've been HTC chat support and not xda, just ask them to help you find the right one, if you still cant find it most likely there are other devices out there that share the same firmware like Tmo, Metro and fam mobile which any of those system images should work with each other (not saying yours do because again, I don't know what you have /: ).
Third, if TWRP and the HTC recovery wizard are giving you a hard time extract boot, system and recovery then just Push them through adb (Hundreds of how to's out there)

Thanks for your answer dear...
Yes I make a mistake when I don't backup before mess up because always I have the official support to ruu back to stock and kill my problem but this time it's different.
I contact HTC support and they suggest flash TMO ruu but my desire 530 are https://www.walmart.com/ip/Walmart-Family-Mobile-HTC-Desire-530-Smartphone/51671356 like I said on the first line of my description.
The funny part are, the latest ruu available on HTC download page are previous of the ota available for this phone so the locked S-ON state won't allow me to downgrade or flash any image over trwp.
If any user of desire 530 family mobile with the latest OTA can upload he's images I will appreciate.

I literally just told you how to fix it d{-_-}b
I'll Make it super simple for you JUST FOLLOW THE STEPS don't question it just do.
LIke the HTC rep told you and like i told you fam mobile and tmobile share the same firmware SO USE THAT ROM!
STEP 1 Go here: www.htc.com/us/support/htc-desire-530-t-mobile/news/ Download the 1.3GB RUU.exe located at the bottom
STEP 2 On your phone go to DOWNLOAD MODE and connect phone (make sure phone is detected properly)
STEP 3 Double click the RUU.exe hit accept next ->> next ->> until you see a progress bar hit 100% and your phone starts.
THATS IT!!!!!
Things to keep in mind:
- You need to have HTC sync installed for drivers, your phone needs to be charged!
- if the RUU.exe says fail or gives you an error just keep repeating STEP 3 until that progress bar hits 100% I had to do it 3 times, some people had repeat the process 10 times HTC RUU.exe has issues but it should work.
- if the RUU.exe is not detecting your phone make sure you are in DOWNLOAD MODE and NOT JUST IN THE BOOTLOADER OR RECOVERY (Double Check Device Manager on your computer is reading the phone correctly/has properly installed drivers)
- if RUU.exe is giving you compatibility issues you will need to extract boot, system and recovery form the RUU.exe and manually push them through ADB (look up a guide) for this step you will need to have an unlocked bootloader (which you already do) but if you don't (for some odd reason) you should be able to unlock it even with a softbrick (look for a guide).
