Follow the instructions in this guide and everything should be cool.

Then once you downgraded your HBoot you can unlock via revolutionary

This is the method I tried but it just didn't work for me. The main issue was running trying to run ./zergRush as it wouldn't run. There was a post in there (page 9) that stated that the if it didn't work you needed to "push the source file not the b binary" and that to solve this you need to "download just the source, look for the binary/executable in the thread" so I followed the link and looked everywhere but I could only find a zip file and a .c file, no executable or batch files. Any idea where this file is located?

Also this method specifically states that it's a downgrade without using HTCDEV but I have now done this so wasn't sure if trying again in a *** Relocked *** or *** Unlocked *** (back through HTCDEV) state would brick the phone. Again, it's not a magic bullet solution, there are still a few if's and but's and I can't afford to trash my phone.

You are the only problem. The method is working well(done it at least three times miself).
You didn't took any advice into consideration so this is my last reply and hope no one answers anymore as you really don't want to read and think for yourself.
The relocked messege is permanent(using 2*****bootloader will only be unlocked or relocked)
As the previous user told you allready you have to first downgrade and second s-off using revolutionay.

Good luck!(considering your "skills" you will need it)

Nice attitude. With respect, you have no idea about my 'skills' or anyone else's for that matter although you assume plenty. I'd love to meet up to discuss this further sometime, send me a PM why don't yah...........remember, talk is cheap, and so is your general attitude towards anyone else who doesn't have the word on everything Android. Checked some of your previous posts. Might be a surprise for you to learn that not everyone has the time to dedicate to the subject, a lot of us just dabble, but if I had the same attitude towards my clients (who know generally know very little about Architecture) as you do towards all non-techno's on here then I'd have no practice and no business or clients. Take a leaf.



Whatever, for anyone else who might be able to help and as mentioned above the link to download zergRush leads only to a zergRush.c or zergRush.zip. There are no batch files or executables there. When I tried $ ./zergRush.c I got:

./zergRush.c: 6: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

I for one i am a sales man. I do have the skills to talk a win over a client.

You don't fit that category and i allready tooked the time to explain but you didn't bother to read my post(so you are in this situation).
I replied to your questions with some little clarifications in three ocasions. Jacmeister offered his help, you ignored that to.
What more do you want.

Here's an idea, send me your phone and i will do the job. Is that good enough? Or would you like me to come at your place to resolve it? Please be serious and stop the very small talk.

And the help you need is only in your hands.

Didn't you say that would be your last post? It'd be great if you heeded your own advice.

So you're a salesman? Yeah, that fits.

For the record I didn't ignore anyone's posts. I tried what appeared to be the most suitable solution suggested and it didn't work so I tried something else which partially worked but didn't solve the issue so I asked for advise from those in the know but still didn't get a solution which worked for me. I've read plenty on a subject I didn't want to get up close and personal with and still haven't found a solution. Reading through many of the threads there are plenty in a similar boat. Answering my questions isn't just helping solve my issue but is helping others. But then isn't that the idea of a forum, i.e. a place to share ideas, impart knowledge and offer advice.

It would be helpful if you kept out of this now as you're extensive knowledge is just getting in the way your ability to converse on a reasonable level. Small Talk yah say, I should coco.

what do you do with a person that doesn't follow repeated advice?

I really don't understand why do you still try to make us understand that your case is special, yes you sure are one of a kind, but not in the good way.

Those guides worked for a lot of users, you are one of the small number that didn't succeed, and gues whous fault is it?

HI there, this might help, i am a noob, so those who knows better, please correct me if i'm wrong..

I tried to S-OFF my HTCDev unlocked DS, i wiped cleaned the ROM and followed instructions and all, cut long story short, i locked my bootloader with no ROM installed and I couldn't even go to recovery, only on bootloader page..

so i visit the HTCDev site again, and unlock it again, and then i could go to my recovery.. from there, it was a matter of copying the custom ROM and flashing it and i was able to use it again (i was so scared at that time that i may not be able to use the DS again)

after that, i went back to S-On unlocked

So i followed one of the thread mentioned in the INDEX thread, specifically the one dated 18 NOV 11

Follow that closely step by step, i repeat, step by step..

and again, if you already relocked your device and can't get to CWM, just go to HTCDev, and unlock it again, start from the beginning.. and after you have done so, then follow the guide mentioned above..

I know it works because i was in the same exact shoes as you before, Re-Locked, and can't get back to recovery.. just unlock it again and you are good..

(however, as usual, i take no responsibility if anything goes wrong, this is what i did and i just want to share and help you, so proceed with utmost caution )

This is what has worked for me but it involves unlocking of bootloader via htcdev.
As always good to mention do everything at your own risk and do some reading before you start tinkering with your phone.

- Go to htc dev and unlock your bootloader
- Boot your phone in to bootloader.
- Flash recovery (4EXT recommended)
- Flash any rom which is rooted ( I flashed Europe Stock pre rooted)
- Bacause you are HTC Dev unlocked for bootloader you have to flash boot.img file which comes with every rom from fastboot "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
- This time you will have to flash boot.img from fastboot
- Follow steps here to downgrade http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1604255
- Run revolutionary and gain s-off your bootloader will be 6.98,,,
- Upgrade HBOOT using http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1679338
- Now you have latest hboot and s-off and you can flash any rom
