I followed all the tutorials to downgrade hboot to 0007, revolutionary s-off method, installed recovery and rooted.
Then i downloaded the original rru for hboot 0007 then flashed that over the top, still left with s off and unlocked but no root, it then said there was an 48mb update for 3d games and security upgrades then flashed that,
Was left with hboot 0018, upto date radio and s-off with unlocked bootloader and flashed then clockwork touch recovery, not the shortest method but its working.

Where are directions for downgrading the hboot? Last time i checked that was impossible.

1. Unlock your bootloader with HTC Unlocktoken
2. Change your CID on fastboot

3.Re-Lock your bootloader


[If you already have europian CID and hboot 1.49.0018 you can pass first 2 steps...]

Yes Thats it Now all you need PG86IMG.zip on your SD card.

Download PG86IMG.zip http://www.multiupload.com/39NSAMWQU7 NOTE:it will delete all your internal memory. Before flash it make backup)

4. Put your sd Card to your pc copy PG86IMG.zip to your sd card root
5. Power off your phone.
6. Press Vol Down+Power to open hboot.
7. Let the device find the zip file and flash it.
8. Chk the hboot version now.
9. I thing I don't need to explain how to use Revolutionary tool

This isn't my work. These are just the steps I followed. The thread is in the first post.

You're good to go since you're still S-Off. Just flash a recovery and do everything you would normally.
