[Tool][Vodafone+Unbranded!]One & Only easy + working downgrade for revolutionary

THIS DOES ONLY WORK ON GINGERBREAD AND ON A BOOTLOADER VERSION <=1.49.x18
Disclaimer: You do that because you want it. Noone forces you to do that. Problems always can be solved, I will help as much as I can.

NEW
you can now watch a video where you see how to do it. But quality, sorry I have no good camera.

This will downgrade your hboot to 1.49.0007
If you is branded by any other carrier then vodafone, this won't work. (Unbranded Device's too)
Why is that so? Because it is not possible til now to debrand your device.
I have tried plenty things with some friends, sadly no luck at all.
CID changing does not work for branded devices, if there is not more than one RUU.

Unbranded:
This Tool will work, if your device has one of the following CID's.

Code:

cidnum: HTC__001
cidnum: HTC__032
cidnum: HTC__A07
cidnum: HTC__102
cidnum: HTC__304
cidnum: HTC__203
cidnum: HTC__E11
cidnum: HTC__N34
cidnum: HTC__405
cidnum: HTC__Y13
cidnum: HTC__016
cidnum: HTC__J15

Vodafone Branded:
This Tool will work, if your device has one of the following CID's.

Code:

cidnum: VODAP001
cidnum: VODAP102
cidnum: VODAPE17
cidnum: VODAP304
<New>
cidnum: VODAP120
cidnum: VODAP203

If your cid is not on the list, you cannot downgrade your device yet.

How to:

Download this Tool for an unbranded device
Download this Tool for a vodafone branded device
Download this Tool for a vodafone branded device with CID VODAP120 OR VODAP203!
RUN Step1.exe
RUN Step2.exe
RUN Step3.exe

It might stuck at the very end of the procedure.

Don't worry, it's okay. Just remove battery and reboot.

Please, if you are experience problems, describe everything you have done and I will try to help.

Have fun and enjoy your freedom.

Always remember; you are a noob on xda

I am also one, so does not one feel attacked.

where it gets stuck right before the end....to remove the battery, we'll have to remove the cable....is that "allowed" while the step3.exe is still open?

From the other thread that you aren't using anymore..

will give some errors, just wait.
and again
fastboot oem writecid VODAP001
will give erros again.
then
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then
fastboot getvar cid
should display now VODAP001
if it does that, I can make a second downgrade just for vodafone devices.

from now on, I will only help in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...8#post22494488
Please check it out if you are trying my tool at post 2, which helps you to dowgrade

I tried it out, got the following error no matter how many time I tried to change the CID

... INFOvreg_set: request is duplicated id 14
INFO shooter_u_init_sd, SD card power on ok
INFOsdcc_init_memory_device done
INFO[FAT_ERROR] fat_open_file: can not find SMART_IO.CRD
INFO[JAVACARD_ERR] SMART_IO.CRD cann't find
OKAY [ 1.122s]
finished. total time: 1.122s

Still remains as VODAP021

Bugga.

I have copied and pasted this into your new thread as per your comment above about which thread you will be helping in. Hope I don't break any rules by cross thread quoting

Cheers mate.

always reboot to bootloader

@Flashmaniac

Hi! Last week I consulted you regarding my failed attempt using your superscripts on the older thread. Mine is on hboot 1.49.0011 and CID__044. I attempted again today and as expected failed again at Step3.EXE (missing the green progress bar) but this time I want to report the wierd behaviour seen during the failed attempt.

After Step1.exe:
----------------
CID changed from CID__044 to CID__001 (permanent, even after reboot).
Bootloader remained UNLOCKED.
Attempt to manually relock the Bootloader successful but if the bootloader is rebooted, then it became unlocked again (so this means a temp relock only).
Tried to relock multiple times but whenever rebooted, bootloader UNLOCKED again.
At this state, changing to any desired CID is not a problem, it's locking the bootloader that is the problem.
--> this explained why Step3.EXE failed because the bootloader remained UNLOCKED after a quick reboot.

If change the CID back to the original CID, then the bootloader can be RELOCKED but after relocked, I'm no longer able to change the CID.

Is it possible (upon completion of Step1.EXE and/or Step2.EXE) for your RUU at Step3.EXE to proceed without doing a quick reboot? Meaning I relocked my bootloader and leave it at FASTBOOT USB? Because after a quick reboot, my bootloader became unlocked and RUU will fail.
