I can't seem to find the guide for this. I know it can be done....or am I crazy. I rooted a friends phone this weekend. Tried to use unrevoked but it wouldnt work until I down graded froyo. He's rooted now. But still want to downgrade his hboot. And for the life of me I can't find the guide.

I think maybe this is what you want. It installs the eng hboot and amon ra recovery in one shot. The updated file with ra 1.8 is in post 18 in that thread. There's a guide in the first post. The only thing I can think to add is that you'll want to have a rom on the sd card ready to go. The reason being, it might boot loop after the install (mine did) and the only way I know to get out of it is to flash a new rom (or reflash the current one).
I can't post the link or i would just do that.
In the EVO 4G Android Development section, the post you want is called 'ENG bootloader (0.76 needed for CM6) extended fastboot commands'

Zikronix, I have just downgraded my HBOOT from .97 to 0.76.2000. (In fact done this a couple times both from 2.02 and .97). In case you still need this.. below are the steps.
1. Got my replacement EVO today (hboot .97, 3.29.651 build, 1.71 PRI)
2. Rooted it with this method using default (clockworkmod recovery)
3. Rebooted and flashed Amon_ra recovery (optional.. my preference)
4. Copied the correct Eng hboot file (renamed as PC36IMG.zip) to my sdcard, rebooted to bootloader, Eng hboot zip was flashed, I accepted update, done. Rebooted into recovery.
5. Flashed my favorite root ROM (this is necessary bcos the change on hboot does something funky to your existing rom, so you can only reboot into bootloader ... not sure why, some dev should be able to explain more)
6. Done.
Rooted with the "check this out even if" thread. Worked fine, found out that gfree doesn't root, but that visionary is what actually roots you when using it for teh second time after gfree turns radio security off. (had su denied in terminal a few times after gfree until I ran visionary and rebooted twice- it finally took)
So a big thanks to everyone.
The question is- at the end of the above thread, it says 0.85 bootloader is not necessary to flash a rom (i'm on royal ginger now so i know that), but that it would help avoid bricks in the future. Meanwhile, on the CM wiki for MT4G, it goes thru the abd rooting method, and it says that bootloader is not recommended.
Now, which is it? I don't want one of these
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1028615
where I read that there's people who flash one rom a single time like royalginger 1.6, then want to goto CM7.02 or vice versa, and that's all it takes to get in some boot loop. Now it might be that they're not wiping everything they should wipe, or wipe once instead of twice (which shouldnt be necessary), but it still makes you wonder.
Should I flash the 085 bootloader? Running fine on RG1.6, but may try CM 7.02 or RG2.0 when it's out of testing...
Thanks

The engineering bootloader is not required, but some of us do recommend it. IF you should have something go south you can flash recovery images, sections of the ROM, erase sections of the ROM, clear stuff. It helps if you should run into a problem. Their have been a few threads that people would of bricked their devices if they didn't have it.
The final choice is up to you. But if it were my phone i'd do it. If you are worried about the code you have to punch in to unlock it, just double and triple check it.
hmm... what is it specifically that i cant do if i don't flash the engineering bootloader?
my partial answer to my own question is that i cant use fastboot commands thru adb, right? but i dont fully know what the heck fastboot is anyway.
also, what about the pdimg15 thing? is that not possible to flash back to stock with pdimg15 if i dont have the 085 bootloader?
anything else i cant do without H085?

You cannot flash specific sections of the ROM if something should go south. You cannot flash recovery images via the HBoot, and you cannot flash splash images.

fastboot = hBoot = Engineering Screen.
Basically it what allows you to flash items via the Engineering screen. You cannot mount sections of the ROMs, nor can you clear stuff out if you should so choose.

You can flash the PD15IMG via either recovery image. but it appears that if you use the 3.0.0.5, 3.0.0.6, or the 3.0.2.4 recovery image while trying to flash the PD15IMG (via the HBoot) it will brick your device. So that is not always a fail safe method.
basically the .85 HBoot a BIG tool to help you not brick your device.
thanks so far.. ok, im getting convinced. here's my reference for an eventuality where i'd need to rescue myself from some boot loop and reflash stock
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=924923
so, in continuing to try to understand recoveries and boot screens here, i saw that after step three in the above thread, it says
"Some times at the end it will boot into fastboot rather then hboot. If this happens just scroll to bootloader and boot into it."
but then you wrote "fastboot = hBoot = Engineering Screen."
so why does the guide say "rather"? (indcating "does not equal")
second, you wrote
"You can flash the PD15IMG via either recovery image. but it appears that if you use the 3.0.0.5, 3.0.0.6, or the 3.0.2.4 recovery image while trying to flash the PD15IMG (via the HBoot) it will brick your device. So that is not always a fail safe method."
"either recovery image" -- you're referring to Clockwork Mod recovery and hboot?
And if you've seen that 3005 - 3024 may brick a PD15IMG flash, then what-- you dont go through Clockwork mod screen at all, you boot into hboot instead?

when we are talking about booting into Recovery, or the Engineering screen. Fastboot, hBoot, and Engineering screen are all pretty much one in the same. Just like some people call softdrinks, "pop", "soda", or "coke". It's terminology. the reason for the "Some times at the end it will boot into fastboot rather then hboot. If this happens just scroll to bootloader and boot into it." Is even though are in a "bootloader" screen the phone must pick up and recognize that you want to use fastboot. so sometimes, not typical though, you must select the "fastboot option".

Correct there have been several threads popping up that are pointing to people have bricked their devices by flashing the PD15IMG in the Engineering screen but they are using the wrong recovery image. It always said something to the degree of "fail -PU". One guy was able to fix his by flashing the 2.5 recovery image from the Engineering screen then flashing the PD15IMG.

Yes to flash the PD15IMG you need to be in the Engineering Screen. but from reading that other thread you need the 2.5 recovery image to do it.

Wow- so I have to get rid of 3024 and flash cwm2545 (or whatever that exact number is) to use the pd15img that's so important to regaining control over a hypothetical borked flash?

i think we are on two different wave lengths.
one of the first Clockwork recoverys that came out where for 2.2 style ROMs, where store information in an EXT3 format. When Google released 2.3 we needed a new recovery image to flash the EXT4 design that the 2.3 ROMs bring. 3.0.0.5 will only handle 2.2 ROMs 3.0.0.6 and 3.0.2.4 will do both.
The problem lies in the fact that EXT3 and EXT4 ROMs store and handle information differently.
using the recovery image while trying to load the PD15IMG will cause the load to fail.
Now if you have the engineering screen loaded you can manually load the 2.5.1.4 recovery image via the Engineering screen then flash the PD15IMG and all should be good.
But this is only if you need to revert back to 100% stock.
we're not on 2 wavelengths, i'm just talking like an inebriated baby on no sleep!
thanks for the patience you display toward everyone, all the while having a guide which spells all this stuff out...
so the file system rules, and since 2.3's obvious big upgrade was the F/S, it borked previous recoveries.
so i'm on CWM3024, the latest, which i installed via rommanager, and it flashed it, and i nandroid backed up.
so im set for ext3 and ext4 incl pd15img, (which is ext3). right?
also, flashing pd15img- that reverts the bootloader from 085 to 086 again?
Um...neidlinger, fastboot and hboot are two totally different things. Keep in mind, I am not picking on you...

I'm really at a stage now where i wanna just throw my htc desire hd at the wall!!!! I am trying to just install a custom firmware, not much to ask considering the mammoth amount of hacking you have to do to even downgrade the firmware. I have done absolutley everything that needs to be done to root this device, i have downgraded the firmware i have rooted it, switched off eng s-off and radio s-off i have full root acess with terminal emulator, i put the update zip on the sd card it says something about installation invalid thats because first time i did not disable radio s-off then it went slightly further but then said some other error i have tried everything, i tried rom manager and selected reboot in recovery mode but now it just makes the phone freeze on the htc boot screen when selecting recovery from the boot menu, can someone please please help, how hard can it be just to install coredroids firmware, why can't it just be as easy as the pd98img firmware
help much apprieciated
clockworkmod recovery works fine. Something has just gone wrong with your installation.
To avoid complications later on, you haven't "switched off ENG S_OFF" you've made made S-ON S-OFF and added ENG S-OFF.
You talk about update.zip, is this for a ROM (CoreDroid?)? Which ROM? Did it tell you to rename it to update.zip? If a ROM then it had nothing to do with Radio S-OFF as you only need that for flashing radio.img files and if it was a radio you were trying to push you should use fastboot not recovery. Are you using the right version of recovery (it's very specific about the version required)?
When everything has been installed correctly and instructions followed it is VERY easy to install coredroid's ROM.
hi thanks for the reply, i just follwed the instructions for installing a custom rom as it asks u to chang it to s-off but the guide also says you need to install the update.zip for clockworkmod to get to choose the custom flash rom you want to use but all i get when i select update.zip from the recovery menu is e:signature verification failed installation aborted
Ok, they don't make it very clear do they?
Have you got ROM Manager installed?
Have you got clockworkmod recovery installed? If so what version is it. If not then use ROM Manager to flash it and flash 2.5.1.3 version (as that what it says).
Get the above. Then let me know.
hi mate its version 4.2.0.2 if i select flash clockworkmod recovery it completly causes the recovery menu in bootloader to just hang on the htc startup screen

Sorry, I meant recovery version but it looks like you still need to do that.
In that case push the recovery.img file (grab from the Coredroid thread) using fastboot.
Normally issues are because people miss things but you've confirmed you have ENG S-OFF, Radio S-OFF and root.
ok i tried running this image file in fastboot from this thread http://android.modaco.com/content/z...led-tft-30-nov-2-5-1-3-clockworkmod-recovery/
its written ok but when i select recovery from bootloader it just hangs on the htc startup screen grrr this is just impossible.
That's not for the desire HD.
Grab a 3.x.x.x version from clockwork 3.0.2.8 thread and try that (you can downgrade easily once we got something working).

I followed the grankin01 gfree root guide. Flashed a custom rom (RG 1.6)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858996
When I go back to grankin's gfree thread to visualize reversing this, it talks about two things - putting the part7 file back on the SD, renaming it, running the same gfree command I used to root, and then reversing hboot to get 086 and s=on.
I'm just thinking - if I do this while still on royal ginger, won't it then lock me into royal ginger since i'll have radio security back? or can pd15img be flashed after this from the SDcard even with the unroot/086 already done?
So then there's the jjackson thread to automated unroot for those who had used gfree to root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=924923
now, what does this mean- can I choose to use the jjackson thread and that will take care of the two "reverting" steps outlined in grankin01? and i can just ignore the grankin01 reverts as they are folded into the jjackson automation?
thanks
Yes, that replaces the steps in grankin's guide. jjackson's guide will take you through everything you need.
provided, as i'm reading, that i didn't upgrade the radio. if i did, as i understand it, that would cause kind of a loop, since i pd15img would put back radio security, but i'd be stuck with the newer radio, but i couldnt undo that if i already unrooted thru pd15img
so if i flashed a newer radio, i'd have to reflash stock radio 1st, then do jjackson. i think i have that right.

Yeah it seems the phone needs stock radio/SPL together when unrooting...But the pd15img contains the original recovery image, correct? Since you dont want CW on the phone when you return to stock.

Ok lets clear it up for you.
As you said you didn't flash new radio. You won't have to worry as there is two ways to flash radio.
1 = PD15IMG.zip (Radio) though bootloader.
2 = fastboot flash radio radio.img
If you did NOT do any of that then you don't have new radio just to make sure check the it from Setting> About phone. If you see 26.03.02.26_M then its stock radio.
Far as unroot goes:
1) Download gfree, unroot extract it root of your SDCard.
2) Put the part7backup-xxxxxxxxxx.bin on root of your SDCard.
3) Open Terminal type in SU and then CD to where gfree is and type in:
4) ./gfree -f
5) dd if=/SDCard/part7backup-xxxxxxxxxx.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7
6) Sync
7) sh unroot.sh
8) Close everything and reboot and make sure on bootloader it worked.
Hello all.. I am tryin to install the engineering bootloader and the file I need from the wiki page is not there anymore. Does anyone know where I can obtain a true copy of it.

I got it from one of the stickies in the dev section.
Also, I have 2 Mt4g. One of the has the bootloader unlocked via HTCdev. I keep trying to flash a Stock 2.2.1 rom to it so I can do the Perma Root method on it. I have a custom rom on it currently, but it has s=on. Now the other one was stock 2.3.4 and I just got finished rooting it, for practice. Now back to the one with the bootloader unlocked by HTC, will traditional methods still work on it? I cant seem to get the adb/fastboot method to install the 2.2.1 rom on it. what would you recommend I do to get s=off on it if Im bent on doing it?

I know NOTHING about the unlocked bootloader, so forgive me. Will flashing the froyo PD15IMG.zip from bootloader not replace your bootloader with the stock S-On bootloader that the rooting w S-Off guides are written for? Or has HTC figured out some way to bone you on that?
PD15IMG method of downgrading should take you to the older OS.
It won't necessarily take you to the older bootloader.
Not sure that being on the older bootloader is required for gfree to work. The older OS is indeed required.
Ok I'll tell you what I did this morning. I read a bunch last night. I am trying desperately to grasp & understand things. Its just there are so many different ways to acheive what I want to accomplish. Im doing this in small goals. My goal at this point is to get this MT4G, that is bootloader unlocked by HTC, to flash the Stock 2.2.1 Rom.But for some reason, it wont. Ive tried using my PC ADB/fastboot method, with no success. This morning I tried Recovery Clockwork, which I did wipe/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe davli cache, and then I choose the write zip from sd card, PD15IMG, and it wont do that either. I know I could be more helpful if I gave the exact errors but I forgot what they are, and at this point I am beginning to think that because its HTCdev unlocked, its not going to let me flash the 2.2.1. It does everything fine, until I attempt to flash the 2.2.1. The md5sum is ok too. If it were you, and you were running a custom ROM (ProjectMIUI 2.2.17 [R6]- UPDATED 2/21/12), and your device was HTC unlocked, but you wanted to get s=off, with engineer boot, how would you begin, and what method would YOU use? Give me some of your excellent advice for my birthday, which is today.
pdimg.zip files are flashed through the bootloader, not recovery. To do this, put zip on root of SD card power off phone hold volume down and power until bootloader appears and follow onscreen prompts.
HTC-Dev-unlocked bootloader 100% allows downgrading, because someone already did it before you. If you fail achieving it - means you're doing something wrong again and again, not realizing it. If I were you, I would think - why is it that your attempts to flash PD15IMG fail - and correct what you're doing wrong. But obviously, this excellent advice was given to you some time before your birthday, and still didn't help.
So, here's another advice:
Go download a PRE-ROOTED 2.2.1-based ROM.
Assuming you find one: flash it in recovery and flash boot.img from it separately.
Reboot to ROM.
Run gfree.
Flash Eng HBOOT.
If you don't find any 2.2.1-based ROM available, then you're out of luck. Sit down and find out what you're doing wrong that doesn't let you downgrade with PD15IMG.
Or just keep your phone as it is, and flash kernels manually, until you understand more.
Ok,I understand what you are saying. But when I put it on the root of my SD card as I have done multiple times, I pwr up in hboot, I wait on the blue progress bar, then a gold progress bar, then I get an error, I think it was "older version" if I remember correctly. There's not much I can do wrong to mess up a simple hboot flash of PD15IMG,you boot your phone up and wait ...

To avoid this error, you need to flash the MISC partition to "fool" the phone into thinking it's older than it is.
Read the downgrading guide, and since you're rooted - execute the "misc_version" part only:
> adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp/misc_version
> adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/*
> adb shell

The next time, I did it in hboot from the handset and it returned an error that said "wrong zip file"
**I think I am going to be content flashing roms and the boot.img seperately until I find someone with this problem that figures it out. Besides I have another mt4g that I perm rooted s=off, so I truly feel like I have followed instructions well, since my 2nd phone worked out. Its just this one with the HTC unlocked b/l giving me problems.
Thank You for your help...
You insist on NOT following the guide, so I won't help you anymore.
FOLLOW THE DAMN GUIDE UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE DOING!
Because obviously, you're doing lots of basically wrong stuff, like trying to flash a PD15IMG.ZIP by fastboot, or using fastboot oem commands.
I understand u getting frustrated, but I have followed the guide. It don't work that way either. It tells me " wrong zip file" in hboot when I do, & I know its the right one because I checked the md5sum. If its lettin me flash any Rom in CWM recovery, why can't I flash a 2.2.1 Rom in recovery? But just to let u know, I have followed the guide to the t, more than once. Sorry if u r getting frustrated but I have tried everything u told me, & thanks for helping.

Good, now that makes it easy as I deleted my modified stock rom last year which I made specially for rooting, so lets move on...
1) Gain TempROOT via VISIONary+
2) On terminal.
adb shell [enter]
su [enter]
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 of=/sdcard/msicold.img [enter]
3) Access /sdcard/msicold.img and open it in hex editor.
4) Find MSIC value XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX (ex: 2.09.1800.1) and change it to OTA "1.17.531.2" and save the file as msicnew.img on SDCard.
5) Now back on adb terminal:
dd if=/sdcard/miscnew.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 [enter]
sync [enter]
6) Now reboot in to bootloader and flash PD15IMG.zip as you would normally do.
Report back if you have issues or problems or can't find it in that case I suggest you upload your msicold.img and ill edit for you so you can replace it.

Wonder what happened to Anglgodes19 and all his posts? He disappeared like a theif in the night!!
1.00.000 is the correct value.
If bootloader doesn't accept PD15IMG.ZIP - it either means you're doing something wrong even though you're 100% sure you're not, or that HTC-Dev-unlocked HBOOT doesn't accept the image for downgrading, which I highly doubt.
In any case, as I wrote you, you can download and flash any 2.2.1 pre-rooted ROM, if you find one with working link, and continue the guide from there.
I don't think I can help you with anything beyond this point.

Ok then, one last question. If I cannot get my phone to flash via hboot, Is it possible to flash the 2.2.1 rom through CWM like I am flashing other roms? Or if I flash a rooted 2.2.1 rom could I the proceed in getting s-off/ eng hboot? Or does it have to be done through hboot only with a stock rom? Or possibly a modified 2.2.1 rom that has been made to flash in recovery?
