Hey
I wanted to know is there anyway to downgrade hboot with Stock RUU
I have right now 3.28.401.1 but i got something like this: 1.20.401.8
Is it okay, or can it brick my device.
Other solutions dont work, i have done it all

use my guide. You will have to re root and re flash recovery. if u us an ruu, No chance of bricking your device it's only flashing the pg86img. Zip

I also had S-ON and was still able to unlock via htc dev.
hmmm actually you could try using the wire trick but i dont remember how it was called.
and with the wire trick i achieved my HBOOT downgrade from 1.53 back to 1.49 and S-OFF also.

No it wont but doing such thing always requires caution
Here is a very good tutorial step by step from our xda member rizozizo:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2694007
I used it myself and worked well
But yeah you wont achieve it at first try cause you will need to repeat maybe 2-8 more times (it took me 20 btw xD) but it will work guaranteed

You can also google for evo 3D wire trick for a video that is online to give you better understanding what you need to do

So something finally changed. I Used UnknownForce method to brick my device
I got now 1.49.0007 but without a ruu, everytime i wanted to install with ruu, it says that Error 131
I also tried to change cid but didn't work
Also tried the fastboot mode to push stock GB PG86IMG.zip on it, then it says CID ERROR and tried to change supecid or HTC__001 mode but i doesn't work. Allways errors
Press power to exit and like that. i can be only in bootloader, fastboot mode and recovery mode

With hboot 1.49.0007 you should be able to s-off with revolutionary.io
Afterwards install recovery.img in fastboot mode (4ext recommendet).
Then you free to flash any rom in recovery.

i can't do the rev.io thing. it says to install drivers but adb/fastboot works
adb is acting weird too, when i switch off my phone then connect usb, pc says that htc is connected and adb says device is offline.
fastboot works in fastboot mode
i think when i did Ultimate recovery Tool thing, it sayed to install stock GB ROM but i cant install

Ah yes, I think I remember.
For revolutionary you need a running rom.
AFAIK ruu error 131 means you have the wrong ruu for your phone (cid error).
Run "fastboot oem getvar all" in fastboot mode to get the infos for the matching gb ruu (carrier, hboot version, baseband).

and check that the ruu is for SHOOTER_U and not for SHOOTER (CDMA version)! maybe you have wrong version, and phone is just saving itself from bricking :fingers-crossed:
