HI mate,

gud news ....made it.
phone is working...
whenever you get the after htc logo problem (a phone in red triangle see attached shot...scary is it)
go to hboot make sure yur unlocked and recovery is installed and flash the super user zip.
then comes the nand backup help... i had a backup in my pc.
jus copied the boot.img from that backup to adb folder and ran the command.
fastboot flash boot boot.img and great im back with my old working state.

thanks guys i was almost abt to miss my mobile ... ok learnt a lesson ...take a nand backup to ur pc...if not.. do it

(I couldnt get a direct link but i'll try )
The downgrade steps are listed below :

1. Unzip misc_version_universal in the folder where you have your adb and fastboot.

2. Turn on usb debugging on your x515e, then connect it to your computer.

3. Run the command prompt. (Run as administrator for vista/7/8)

4. Set your directory using cd \the name of your folder that has the adb files.

5. Type the text below into the command prompt :

adb push misc_version /data/local/misc_version
adb shell
su
chmod 777 /data/local/misc_version
/data/local/misc_version -s 2.00.405.3
exit
adb reboot bootloader

After rebooting, type

fastboot oem lock

to lock the bootloader.

6. Run the 3.09.1010.8 RUU.

Troubleshooting - if you can't run the ruu, follow the steps below. You will need PG86IMG.zip.

1. Type the text below into the command prompt :

fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip PG86IMG.zip (You can try rom.zip)

2. Reboot. If your phone does NOT reboot automatically for more than 2 minutes, pull the battery.

colorfull screen with touch enabled menu will appear. there go to back & restore.
then hit backup and wait till successful and then reboot and connect usb and make it read as disk and sd cards contents loads in pc
go to clcokwork mod folder and then backup and then a folder ... that folder jus copy to pc and keep it safe..

    First off I would like to say that this took hours and hours compiling different information on the internet to figure this out. I do not take credit for any of the exploits or anything else in this. I am simply Writing the tutorial on how to use everything correctly to achieve root on a HTC Rider (HTC EVO 4G+)

    Step1) go to http://www.htcdev.com/ and follow the guide to unlock your bootloader. Very simple instructions. You will need the following prior to unlocking your boot loader:

    1.The Google Android SDK - http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

    2. Java Runtime Environment - http://java.com/

    3. HTC Sync - http://www.htc.com/www/help/

    Step2) Download HTC EVO 4g+ adb and recover image from - http://www.mediafire.com/?cyiz55mo4u666au

    Unzip HTC EVO 4g+ adb and recover to the place of your liking I chose C:\

    Enable USB debugging on your HTC EVO 4G+

    Open a command prompt start>run>CMD

    Restart the phone into HBOOT and select FASTBOOT

    Plug phone in via usb.

    Input the following command CD C:\adb
    then type the following command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

    Reboot phone.

    Step 3) Turn on phone and copy su-2.3.6.3-efgh-fixed-unsigned.zip from HTC EVO 4G adb and recovery to the root of your SD card in your phone.

    Restart phone into Hboot then choose BOOTLOADER

    From BOOTLOADER choose RECOVERY

    Once in RECOVERY choose Install zip from SD CARD using the camera button on the side of the HTC EVO 4G+

    You then choose su-2.3.6.3-efgh-fixed-unsigned.zip

    It will then move you to a menu that has a large amounts of -NO's and one that says -Yes then the file name choose yes again with the camera button.

    Once installed simply use the back button untill you see the option reboot.

    Once rebooted you should have SU installed along with full SU privileges.

    Sorry for the disorganized manner of this tutorial as this is the first one I have ever written and I just did this my self for the first time.

    Any input is greatly appreciated.

    I did this on a HTC EVO 4G+ with HBOOT 1.43.0000,Android 2.3.4,Software number 1.47.1010.4,Kernel version 2.6.35.13-gAD1A583.

    For GB : type the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

    and reboot ur phone.

    Welcome mate : Ted.

    Hope you are Vietnamese and knows English.
    we need your help.

    We are currently in stock rom 3.10 and sense 3.6, Rooted & unlocked but still on S-ON.
    How can we downgrade to 3.09? Can we use any custom rom on 3.10 base?
    Please give us the steps.

    Ya i used translator but still we need your guidance
    Pls help..

    TIA

    I'm too new on this device, my previous one is a Desire Z, I don't think that I know better than you, but for your question I can answer.

    1.Yes, you can downgrade to 3.09:
    - Download the 3.09 RUU:http://hotfile.com/dl/161493114/806b526/RUU_RIDER_ICS_35_S_KT_KR_3.09.1010.8_Radio_11.24.3504.18_M_release_262166_signed.exe.html
    - Re-lock bootloader: Connect your phone with computer in Fast boot mode, using adb type this: fastboot oem lock
    - Install RUU file downloaded (follow its instruction)
    - And you have downgrade to 3.09, you can unlock bootloader again using the Unlock_code.bin you have

    2. Yes, you needn't to downgrade to 3.09, I haven't tried many roms, but it works for me with this ROM: Port_Viper 1.6.3_ By Mr.Tam_V1: http://d-h.st/P5z (Mirror : http://upfile.vn/8U38
    )
    - You should install EXT recovery 1st (I assume you had it?)
    - Enter recovery install the dowloaded zip file as usual
    - You will stuck in boot load screen as our device is S-On which kernel can't install properly through recovery mode, so you need to manual install kernel through fastboot
    - Copy the boot.img or newboot.img file in the ROM zip file (it should be somewhere in the zip file of the rom)
    - Connect your phone with computer in Fast boot mode, using adb type this:fastboot flash boot boot.img (or newboot.img - depends on what you have in that ROM zip file)
    - Wait for it finish and reboot, you will have android 4.03 with sense 4.1 :)
