This tutorial will help you downgrade back to software version '1.22.605.0' this software version is based on the shipped ROM before the OTA.
1) download: http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Inc...dio_1.00.03.04.06_release_161493_NoDriver.exe

A. after step number 2 you will see an image like this:
3) now go to your start menu and click on RUN in the textfield type %temp% and click ok. "you should see"
4) search threw all the folders that start off something like this {D3D2296B-5E22-46DB-BEF4-D7235D4BB485} inside this folder will be another folder with many stuff inside SCROLL DOWN till you see the ROM.zip
5) just drag and drop the ROM.zip onto your desktop like so:
6) renmae the rom.zip to PB31IMG.zip place it on the root of your SDCARD and boot into your hboot (power off the device then while holding the volume down + power will boot you into hboot)
7) the device will load the PB31IMG.zip and tell you if you want to update just volume up for yes, and when prompted to reboot just volume up for yes on your device and your DONE!!!
Hope this helps anyone...!!

do you have to be connected to htc sync in order to do this or can you just download the file to your pc desktop and connect your incredible via the usb than run the file.

ZOMG WILL THIS HALP ME HAS ROOT???????????????????????
Sorry, had to. =P Thanks for the guide!

Thanks
Thanks. Worked perfectly.

When I'm in the hboot menu the phone is saying that there is either no image or its the wrong image. What gives?

You probaly renamed it as
<filename>.zip.zip
Usally Windows dont Turn ON Extension in Browsers

Nope. I know better than that.

So are devs working on rooting pre-OTA, OTA, or both (meaning whichever works best)?
EDIT: I'm just wondering if that's why we have this instruction set posted. I guess if pre-OTA is rooted everyone will want to downgrade.

I don't understand the point of this, although it may be due to the fact I'm a android noob. I went into the recovery menu (I had already applied the OTA update) and selected "clear storage". That wiped my phone and sent me back to pre OTA state. I'm pretty sure of this because the next time I turned on my phone It started bugging me about an exchange update. What's the point of going through this complicated procedure?

i really dont understand the point of this????

Title says it all... if a hack for root is found in the updated bootloader everyone who wants root will be able to downgrade to be able to apply the hack is pretty much all this is for

Some of us are seeing the 1x for network speed a lot more, or for the first time after the update. This would revert us back to not seeing 1x.

But why do all of this when clear storage does the same thing with less hassle

I don't think clear storage takes you back to pre-OTA... you have to do that manually, im sure.

Definitely not. If you want to go to pre-OTA you need to follow this method.

If clear storage got me to pre-OTA i wouldn't still be fighting with this.
Seriously does anyone have any insight into why the heck this isn't working for me?
It's saying:
SD Checking....
Loading [pb31diag.zip]
no image!
Loading [pb31diag.nbl]
no image or wrong image!
Loading [pb31img.zip]
no image!
Loading [pb31img.nbl]
no image or wrong image!
then kicks me back to the hboot screen.
I'd really like to get my reliable 3g back.

Someone posted another one of these files, one with HBOOT .79 I believe. If you update hboot, then you can't downgrade then right?

False. HBOOT .77 and .79 are 'inter-flashable'. It goes both ways.

Well both ROM.zip have different Version details so i suspect that Downgrading from 0.79 to 0.77 SPL is Possible
0.77
ModelID: PB3120000
CIDNUM: VZW__001
MainVer: 1.22.605.0
HbootPreUpdate: 11
0.79
ModelID: PB3120000
CIDNUM: VZW__001
MainVer: 1.22.605.2
HbootPreUpdate: 13

Wouldn't it make sense to start a thread for a specific problem? It makes it easier when someone with a similar problem searches for it on the forums. That way, later you can refer to this thread when someone runs into the same troubles, instead of linking to a 40 page thread and say "Weed through pages 31-39 for the resolution"

Anyway, I finally got it to find the device, but it said it wasn't the proper ROM and had to abort...how do I get the right RUU tool?

That is dependant on your fastboot output. You need the RUU to match or exceed your main version and have to have the same CID.

There is already good guides for all the issues you encounter, so chances we will refer someone to this thread are slim.
What RUU are you trying to flash, can you post a link? Also an updated ''fastboot getvar all'' of your phone would help.
What OS are you using now? Still on your MAC? If on Windows which version are you using? XP, 7, 8.0, 8.1 ?

And tried with a different file

Gave the second command, and it started to write a whole bunch of files. 10 minutes later it said finished, and I rebooted. It boot looped a few times and was giving me the same crash at the homescreen. I was about the throw it across the room when it said "Activate device failed, click here to do it manually"
Followed the steps and the first text message came in, so now I'm installing Slimkat. It's given me a few errors now that it wasn't giving before, but I'll work through it and update.

Telus RUU HTC One M7 Error??

Good Evening:
I have a HTC One M7UL with Telus (Canada). I have been having problems with the phone charging while it's on and my last ditch effort is to go back to stock and hope something that's wrong will correct itself.
I have HBoot 1.44, S-Off, returned recovery to stock, relocked bootloader, 1.29.661.
I tried using the RUU_M7_UL_K44_SENSE55_MR_TELUS_WWE_4.19.661.8_R_Radio_4T.24.3218.09_10.26.1718.01L_release_351500_signed_2.exe to update and return to stock.
Everything goes fine until the RUU asks me to upgrade from 1.29 to which I select "yes" and then I get an Error (158) and it tells me to find the correct RUU.
Anybody have an idea what I'm doing wrong or if they have a different RUU that I should be using?
Any assistance that gets this working might receive a "donation"
thanks in advance.

install from recovery, you'll have to unlock your bootloader again though :/ and re name it to rom and just use command adb push rom.zip /sdcard

[Q] [SOLVED] HTC One RUU Required

Hello guys im new to the forum so sorry for any mistakes I make. Im trying to unbrick an HTC One M7 (S - ON). By using the command 'fastboot getvar version-main' I found out that the image required by the phone is 1.27.206.1 . I have searched for days but I cant seem to find the correct RUU. I did find it in a thread on XDA forum but the link was broken. Can anyone help me? If the RUU is not available is there any other way to unbrick the device?
Thanks in Advance!
FIXED: Read the summary below
I was able to find the correct RUU but the files available were incomplete. So with a lot of help from clsA and nkk71 I was able to find an alternative solution. The solution was to download the Android Revolution HD rom for HTC One and use ADB SIDELOAD to transfer the file in the internal storage From there on it was a piece of cake!

with S-ON, you'll need an RUU which is same or higher version for your MID+CID, which can be inferred from the .206. = O2 UK
you have 1.27.206.1, so you need and RUU which is higher (or equal) to 1.27.206.1; the 1.27.xxx.1 would refer to the actual software version information, the .xxx. indicates the carrier-branded, region, etc. if the version is greater or equal to 1.27.xxx.1 and the .xxx. is 206 then you can run it.
PS: you'll also need a locked/relocked bootloader with s-on, for the ruu to work

s-off will be harder to achieve once you update to a 4.xx RUU
as for download managers, there are plenty, if you want a free (and pretty decent one), i usually use FireFox + DownThemAll add-in

I used Internet Download manager and again downloaded the .exe but Its still not working. I have downloaded it multiple times and it even passed the MD5 test. However, when i check the properties of the .exe the size and size on disk are different from each other. They are different only by 300 to 400 KB, does this have anything to do with the problem im having?

if the MD5 check passed (ie the file you downloaded gives an MD5 hash = 4961fdbbadba53c9640f3638f56faec1) then the file is good.
but the 4.xx RUUs are known to be very sensitive to PC configuration, USB ports, etc. so you should try it with a plain vanilla setup of Windows 7 + USB2 port.
Though (just a thought), why not flash a custom recovery and ROM to get your device back to life, (and possibly even S-OFF).... how did you brick it anyway?
can you also post a "fastboot getvar all" (excluding IMEI and s/n)

I think you are right, something is wrong with that file.
If there is any other way to get this thing going please let me know. It's actually a friend's phone and i think he bricked it while installing a rom.I ran the command, this is what i got.

why don't you go ahead and:
1- unlock bootloader
2- flash custom recovery
3- flash custom ROM
4- get s-off
5- enjoy

That sounds good ! Just need to confirm that the bootloader on this phone is relocked not locked. do i need to visit htcdev and follow the protocol to unlock it? secondly by custom recovery you mean CWM or TWRP? I already have TWRP on the phone.

to unlock (with s-on), yes you'd need to HTCdev again, BUT if you already have TWRP installed, i recommend you flash the following ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48955645&postcount=251
you can either push it or sideload it to TWRP, once it boots up, use revone to s-off
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314582
revone will also allow to unlock bootloader
once you have s-off, the options are almost limitless, but please remember to flash only things meant for your phone/modelid ... flashing a wrong hboot for example will end up bricking your phone (not trying to scare you but don't think just cause you have s-off, you can now flash an HTC M8 firmware/hboot)

as long as you already have custom recovery on your phone, it should work (honestly, i've never tried, but it should work)
one of the reasons for HTCdev unlock, is to get a custom recovery on your phone (which you cannot do with S-ON and locked/relocked bootloader)
good luck

[Q] Need help with my phone

Well i dun goofed. I tried to flash the furnace kernel to overclock my HTC one m8 but it got stuck on the boot screen with red letters saying "This build is for development purposes only Do not distribute outside of HTC without HTC's written permission Failure to comply may lead to legal action" . So then i went into recovery and wiped everything even the os. to try to fix it now am stuck here with a phone without an OS and dont know how to fix it.
Details on the phone-
Its rooted and has an unlocked bootloader
S-on
Please help me fix my phone

Is the rom.zip still on your sdcard?
If not you can either mount usb storage while booted to twrp or adb push the rom also while in twrp.
BTW you could have dirty flashed the rom and it would have fixed the problem.
