I had the file on my phone to flash stock. I read the xda forum on how to do it, and when I did what they said, it didn't work. went to clock work mod recovery and tried to flash it as it was a Rom and it was aborted. if anyone knows how to do can you please post it, and with each step listed? I read enough, so now I want real instruction with the steps listed

Hi Cornelljdavis. It would be helpful to have a little bit more info about this. I'd like to at lease see a link to the XDA article to start with.

I don't have the Evo design but I have an Evo 3d. I'm assuming to change hboot versions, it will be a similar process to my device. To do this I have to use a special kind of file that gets flashed through the bootloader, not through recovery. In my case the file has to be named PG86IMG.zip and placed on the root of the sd card and when rebooting into the bootloader it will find that file and ask if I want to update. S-off is required for this btw...

After googling your device, it looks like based on your model id, the file would probably be called PH44IMG.zip

I'm not 100% sure on this but all HTC devices are pretty similar in this aspect I think. It's also true that these files cannot be flashed through recovery. They don't contain the right information to tell the recovery what to do with them.

I'm guessing that is the problem though, that it needs to be flashed through the bootloader. Please post a link to the other thread so I can take a look at it!!
