[TUTORIAL][S-ON]Howto Downgrade Any HBOOT to 1.03.001 or older (Downgrade to 2.3.3)

In this tutorial, I will show you how to downgrade Any HBOOT and Radio to "around" HBOOT 1.03.001 and Radio 7.48.36.1 or less with S-ON. How amazing is that!
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any damage that you bring to your android device! This will Downgrade you to Android 2.3.3!
1. Download these files:
*http://www.filefactory.com/f/7b4aa0a541dcf00f/
-look for your RUU for your Carrier for example I downloaded "RUU_Marvel_TMOUS_1.62.531.3_Radio_47.10f.35.3032"
*http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1530864
-Bootloader Controler, thank you theq86
*http://www.mediafire.com/?m546mkk0yp7cbdb
-Boot.img that we are gonna flash
*http://www.mediafire.com/?5lf77c7sposqkck
-System.img we are also gonna flash
*http://www.mediafire.com/?4o2dbgqbb2t30lh
-Extact it and place in your "C:/" drive
1a. Flash CWM Recovery or some other compatible recovery on your wildfire s
2.After theses files above have been downloaded, connect your wfs to computer via USB drive
3. open cmd and open up the folder you extracted in "C:/" drive Ex: cd c:/Android
4.Place boot.img and system.img in the root of the android folder
5. execute these commands
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
"its gonna take time so wait by looking at the bootlader screen at the top right"
IMPORTANT: After reboot it ill try to load Android Recovery but it cant since it has CWM Recovery, so it will load cwm recovery and say "E: Invalid command arguement" so all you have to do is reboot
after completed reboot, the rom is going to be buggy and gltchy so dont freak out YET
6. Place the bootloader Controller tool to the root of SD Card, DO NOT UNZIP!
7.Go into bootloader and enter your recovery, if your using cwm go to install zip from sd card>choose zip from sd card> look for the bl tool and flash it.
8.While attempting to flash it, there will be a Visual UI that popped up like a window, go to "Superversion" and press on that with your soft keys or Volume/Power Keys.
9. After Superversion update has completed reboot back into recovery and reattempt to install the bl tool, this time press on "LOCK" and wait for it to complete update and power down.
10.Open bootloader and you wil see "LOCKED OOW" at the top in hboot 1.08.0099 or "LOCKED" in hboot 1.09.0099, we are half way there
11. Now normal reboot to android and enable USB debugging if you havent done so.
12. Launch the RUU you downloaded and wait for it to complete the starting process. When completed starting up, accept all the notifications and continue to the update. Dont freak out when it keeps rebooting, its normal Wait for the update to complete then you quet done!
13. It will reboot and will show you the factory reset of android 2.3.3. After completing that you can now enter bootloader and see that you have downgrade like this for example:

If unable to flash .ing via fastboot try flashing from recovery

No , this may help you , before flashing system or the other thing , type in the cmd
fastboot oem rebootRUU

This will allow flashing hboot or system on unlocked bootloader and some on locked ...

maybe you have something wrong in this , because when I try rebooting to system after flashing system and boot , it sends me to CWM and says down

it wont boot to the rom after flashing system and boot and keeps sending me to recovery nevermind got it to work thank for the post it seems to be that i had to wait a couple of minutes after flashing the system and boot and take the battery off and put it back it then i was able to boot to the rom and did the rest of the steps. Next time i'll create a backup before flashing a new custom rom

Yes this works any hboot but to downgrade, the hboot must be an unlockable version 1.08.0099 or 1.09.0099 that is unlocked.
From the image in the tutorial, I downgraded from hboot 1.08.0099 to 1.03.0001.
The PG76DIAG.nbh for s-off only works for cdma version of the wfs

it is workiiing, thanks

that says i have to be s-off but i am s-on .... how to proceed ? the image doesnt want to load ...

Try the revolutionary method for getting S-OFF http://revolutionary.io

i have downloaded it and it says waiting for the device ,, i have the drivers installed and i am in the fastboot usb ... why it says waiting for device ? windows 8.1 x 64 is my system />?

Windows 8 is the problem, ul need to google the drivers for it, windows 8 is a nightmare with fastboot. If u can get ur hands on a laptop/pc with windows 7/vista etc it would be much easier.

same thing i installed the drivers on win 7 64 bit and it still says waiting for device ... what can be the problem and how to troubleshoot that ?

Make sure to install these drivers as well: http://downloads.unrevoked.com/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe
Try to do it with these steps:
You'll want to make sure your phone has USB debugging enabled: Menu > Settings > Applications > Development > make sure it's checked
Go to http://revolutionary.io/
Select your operating system (Windows or Linux only at this time)
The download should start right away and you'll be prompted to obtain a beta key (we'll cover this in a sec)
Extract the .zip file
Run the file "revolutionary"
A command prompt should appear and ask you for the beta key (the serial number should appear right next to this)
Go back to the Revolutionary site, select your OS, device, HBOOT version, and enter the serial number from the previous step
Generate the beta key
Copy the beta key over to the command prompt window, press enter, and wait patiently. It took a little bit for the phone to reboot into fastboot and proceeded to reboot fastboot 4 times. On the third time S-OFF was shown.
The command prompt window will then ask if you want to download and install ClockworkMod Recovery, type "y" for yes and press enter
Congratulations, you have an HTC EVO 3D with S-OFF and a custom recovery installed! However, you don't have root yet!
Reboot the phone. It may go through the hands free activation process, but just let it do it's thing.
Follow this link to download a .zip you'll need to obtain root
Transfer it to your SD card
Reboot the phone into recovery
Flash the zip from there, reboot, and you're all done!

If you can get to fastboot, you should be able to flash a recovery like twrp and then flash a rom and you are good.

Then boot into bootloader by holding volume down and power, and select recovery by using volume down key and power to select. From there, you can insert a sd card with a rom and flash it.
EDIT- I noticed you are still S-ON which means you have to go on your pc and extract the boot.img from the rom you use and
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Also, here is a pretty stable rom, just DL the latest version here

download the zip. the md5sum files are for if you want to check the integrity of the file, which is mostly unnecessary, as this file has no bootloaders, you can easily recover from a failed flash.

Yes, use the install method in the 2nd link. Basically, turn off your phone, put the sdcard with the rom on it into it. Boot into recovery select wipe, and confirm it. go back home and select install and select the zip, confirm it. go back home and select reboot then bootloader.
extract the boot.img in the zip to your user folder(C:/Users/Username/)
Plug into computer and
Code:
fastboot flash boot.img

unlock your device again I guess you have the T-Mobile version h811? After you have unlocked again try to flash the boot and system partitions while in fastboot.
for is this you need to extract a kdz file with SALT first. check my signature for a link

you can't Flash several partitions once you have upgraded to Nougat .
You haven't followed my recommendation to use SALT for extracting KDZ file that's why you have multiple system image files.
It's your decision if you follow recommendations or not but I'm out now

your program SALT cannot extract TOT files. the android 7 i was on was a custom rom so wasn't a kdz file its a TOT file

YOU MUST USE SALT!!!
Any other programm isn´t working. Cause every file generated from SALT ist fastboot flashable....
Then Search for a KDZ File for your Model and extract this. For bOOT partition it is not needed to take a N file.
System partition i do not know either.
Try again...and use SALT. otherwise nobody can help you without losing your data

when you start your Phone this is the way it goes:
Bootloaderstack (MM or N?) -> aboot (fastboot) -> boot (kernel + ramdisk) -> system (ROM)
Which Kdz have u used? MM,LP or N?
in Fastboot you could Flash TWRP in Recovery partition. If ypur Boot partition is fixed u could get to TWRP and set up an new ROM.

Your bootloaderstack is N so you must fastboot bootloaderstack MM and Boot partition. Then recovery (TWRP) and it should go into twrp.

Good night. Although very nervous, I will try to summarize as much as possible.
I do not understand English, I'm using a translator;
About 2 weeks ago, I bought an LG-H815P (used - came in the box, with the same IMEI number and voucher) Stockrom with root, as I could not upgrade because of root, I decided to install a modified rom. Then my problems started: the device had the message [secure boot error / error code: 1002]. So I decided to install a new stockrom, I downloaded the LG site, tried it first with [LGMobile Support Tool], it did not work I did with [LG Bridge] as the program itself sent. By an unfortunate distraction I believe I have installed the wrong version Stockrom. My device simply erased, did not give a sign of life. After following some tutorials on the internet I was able to recover it with [QFIL], I installed all the drives of the tutorial I followed, at the end of the process instead of going into download mode, it enters [fastboot mode] and does not leave it. I tried several times the procedure [volume up + plug the USB] for a second the image download mode appears, but soon it goes to screen [fastboot mode] and does not leave it, never. I read something about the SALT of steadfasterX (I think because of the tiredness and insistence I could not understand) I do not know if SALT is a program or a procedure, the language also disturbs me. I'll try to post the image that appears on the phone so they understand. I apologize for the long text. And from now on thanks to the will. Please help me, I need the device working, I'm very tired of moving all these days without stopping in it.

adb/twrp issues....

Firstly, when plugging my 7t in to my windows 10 PC, I am asked to choose which mode to go in within usb preferences, as I did previously in order to achieve and ADB driver connection I chose file transfer.......
this didn't work for some reason, only when in MIDI did I get a confirmation with adb devices.....even though there is still no sign of adb interface in device manager.....
any ideas? I can get adb connection with MIDI but is this good enough to flash recoveries/boot images etc....?
I tried to flash twrp and I could successfully boot into twrp directly via fastboot but twrp couldn't seen any of my storage, despite having all security methods turned off...
all i want to do is gain root access but I am having no joy....
ever since android 10 rooting anything for me has been a pain in the ass......truly fed up....it shouldn't be this hard......
I also flashed a patched boot image in an attempt to gain root access but it all did was break my wifi........which i fixed by copying over the latest image and installing locally......
please HELP....

Everything about this issues is already said in this forum.

It would seem that TWRP is a no go, for awhile at least.....
anyone managed to gain root access by flashing a patched boot.img?

Lots of people have. Just boot your version and use magisk to direct install and reboot then you have root

Oh, I thought, you are have issues with adb, and for root, you just have to flash magisk using twrp

This isn't functional at the minute as TWRP, whether its flashed or booted from, cant get past the encryption.......it cant see/mount the internal storage....

You will have to wipe the data and then twrp can access internal storage.
This is how I did (in my phone, which is not Oneplus, but the process remain same for all phones), boot to fastboot mode and type this:
fastboot -w
Now, boot your phone to recovery mode:
(Now take complete twrp backup of your phone, and save it in your pc, before proceeding futher)

flash magisk: https://github.com/topjohnwu/magisk_files/raw/canary/magisk-release.zip
Now boot the phone back to OS and you will have root access

TWRP is not functional at the moment, so stay away from it.
The only way to root right now is to use the patch boot image method.

No don't do this.... This is not about encryption at all. It's about the major partitioning changes that has happened in Android 10. Wiping the system will just make everything worse.
Avoid using TWRP at all.

Oh, I didn't know this phone was on Android 10, Thanks for letting me know.
TWRP doesn't support Android 10 yet.
You can see it here
https://twrp.me/site/update/2019/10/23/twrp-and-android-10.html
Actually there is a twrp compiled for this phone, but that doesn't work , you can see the messages in thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7t/development/recovery-unofficial-twrp-recovery-t3976961
The steps I told, was for Android 9 and earlier devices, I assumed, this is an old device.
@mediaman123, So please wait, until twrp starts supporting the Android 10.
And for rooting, I am not sure, whether magisk supports this new phone or not.
Maybe @Lossyx can help you on that.

Seen this, however my device, the European version, is running on 10.0.6.....
The only boot images available with that post is the 10.0.3...
wouldn't feel comfortable using them.....
I would like to know how to extract the stock boot image from either the firmware file or the phone itself...

You can go ahead and just fastboot boot them. If it works then just proceed, if it doesn't, just hold volume up+down and power button. (To boot into fastboot or restart phone)
Nothing will change in the system because it only boots a temporary image.
If your want to extract your own boot image you can use this tool.

So if it boots an older image successfully I can move it over to the phone to patch to then flash it or use the already patched one and flash that...?..
