Root ****HBOOT Downgrade (Working AOSP and GB ROMS)****

Thank YOUUUU, I'm officially on CM9. Finally! It was really simple and smooth. Is there a fix for MMS for CM9 DT?

That is where we need to get our Devs going. That is far out of my league. I am hoping LeslieAnn can jump on this soon because I know that she knows the fixes that were implemented on the OV in CM7. I am sure it has something to do with the framework, but I really dont know. I haven't even tried to swap the apns.xml out of framework-res.apk because I was too excited to flash.
 
Does mms work using a non stock app in cm9 or is it not working at all?

Still have not tried. I havent had a reason to try it yet. It is like a new toy, once I am done playing with all the stuff that works, it will get into what doesnt. Backwards logic I know, but that is how I roll.
 
I just sent a picture of my sandwich from panera bread to my wife. I'm still waiting on her response to see if she received it or not.
 
Are there any cons?

If there aren't, I'm gonna do this ASAP.

I'd be able to flash anything that the Evo 3D can flash?

So far all that has been mentioned that cannot be flashed is Viper's latest rom. I am guessing none of the roms that are currently based on the latest Sprint OTA rom because from what I have read requires HBOOT 1.58. I will build a file to switch the HBOOT to 1.58 if someone wants to test it. I am too happy with what I currently have to go and switch my current setup for that. I like having all the options that I do now rather than flashing an HBOOT that will limit me to Sprint OTA roms (which may not be all that different from what we currently have).
 
I just read this entire thread and I need to go change my pants Lmfao gonna have to make space on my sdcard for the flash fest I'm gonna have after I flash the old HBOOT :D you da man krowley for being brave enough to try it

Makes sense. Guess I had only really seen that associated with CM10. Hadn't looked at CM9 in awhile since it didn't get that fully working on the Triumph.

havent you tried flashing anything yet bro? ..i would highly suggest devil toast..battery life for me has been awesome so far..flashed anthrax 2.7.5 as well..couldnt get 3.0.2 to boot
 
also i think the only Roms we will have trouble flashing with our downgraded hboots is anything based on the new sprint firmware..like virus's Rom..everything before that should be fine if i understand correctly

Devil toast is downloading right now :p

Hmm, didn't Brycee say he was running 3.0.2 on DT? As far as battery 2.9.1 was the best battery life I have had on this phone so I may try it.
 
So does Devil Toast hang out on the HTC EVO 3d screen for awhile on first setup?? Seems like I have been there forever.
 
Wiped cache, wiped data then installed the zips. Have gone back and done it again formatting the partitions and we are good to go now! So, to everyone out there follow the directions EXACTLY!
 
Not having any luck with calls/MMS on any of the CM9 roms. Calls go straight to my voicemail and apps like Go SMS don't seem to be helping with the texts.

Curiously enough, Jumping Jelly Bean had working calls and MMS, but the no wifi and no audio issues are deal breakers. Can't wait to see some AOSP roms ported with all the essentials working. In the meantime I'll stick with Mobster Rom just so my phone can function as a phone :)

EDIT: Wow, I sent a text with CM9 DT and its like it kick-started the phone. Here come all the messages I tried now :argh:
