i have actually managed it :) i used fre3vo from this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1150006

but i combined the instructions with post 4 from the downgrade thread ( part where you have to chmod the version file then change the version.

first download http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=591335&d=1304969547

and also this

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=661246&d=1311240968

extract them to the same folder then open a command prompt in that folder and follow these instructions

Instructions:

1. adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp

2. adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp

3. adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo

4. adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version

5. Run the binary via 'adb shell /data/local/tmp/fre3vo'

If all goes well, you'll be kicked back to your computer's command prompt.

run 'adb shell' and you should have a '#' prompt instead of $

6. cd /data/local/tmp

./misc_version -s 1.27.405.6

From here you can then install the update/downgrade from the ruu exe for your phone from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1002506

then you can just follow the alpharevx instructions as normal because you will be able to run gingerbreak etc, this works on the latest updates as i couldnt use gingerbreak to downgrade due to the vodafone uk update and i am now on a custom rom and s offed :)

hope this helps everyone.
[HTC Desire S] tigris666:
This part got me all excited in the pants a little. I tried it, but the fre3vo script is hanging at "Frame Buffer handle: 4" for about 5 minutes now.

I will try factory reset on my 1.47 RUU and try once more.

@davidreece: can you confirm what RUU version you had when this worked for you?
[HTC Desire S] vankox:
Thanks for the tip. But I'm a little confused at step 5. I'm the ultimate Android noob so please excuse my stupidity, but what exactly did the step mean by "Run the binary via 'adb shell /data/local/tmp/fre3vo"?

How exactly does one "run the binary? I typed in the 'adb shell /data/local/tmp/fre3vo' command for this step and I get

fre3vo by #teamwin

Please wait...

At this point I can't type anything and actually waited...but after about 15 minutes, nothing is happening. Could you point me in the right direction?
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
You appear to be doing exactly the correct thing...just be patient...(although I admit it does say a few minutes).

See this refined guide....http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16104882&postcount=16

I'd be tempted to reboot the phone and start at the beginning again, (although the first two steps may well error as the files will be already there - ignore that and proceed).
[HTC Desire S] ratss123:
first of all many thanks for all the guides, secondly i've followed all the steps and everything works fine but when i run the .exe to actually downgrade it always says that i'm under 30% of phone charge (battery is fully loaded). I made a gold card and everything also... strange..
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Just grasping at straws here....Try to fully charge the battery and then power down device and remove the battery, allow both the battery and the device to cool down.

Try again. :confused:

Now, again I'm not sure but a full factory reset from HBOOT may remove the existing battery stats....so you could try that?
[HTC Desire S] ratss123:
uhm didn't work also with factory reset.... keeps saying it's less then 30%..

lol so near to the s-off and then it doesn't work for something like that!! :)

[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
do you know anyone with the same device so that you could try to swap batteries for the update in case your has failed?
[HTC Desire S] ratss123:
no sadly i don't, tried to run it also on another pc but it's the same.. there is also another thing, few days ago i tried to run the .exe hoping that it would downgrade, later i found out that i've got hboot 92 so i waited for a new method.. When i tried I didn't get any error message, just thath obviusy it couldn't downgrade... today i tried again and I keep gettint low battery....

After gingerbreak, if you found superuser in your list application, means you are Rooted.

after that you can install 4EXTRecovery

I got S-OFF my 002 1.47.x ROM with Revolutionary (without downgrading)

I clicked Y for CWM but the revolution disappeared and phone booted to page showing S-OFF.

So for all I suggest this much easier 1.47.401.4 ROM (HBOOT 0.98.0002) S-OFF and rooting procedure without downgrading as I mentioned above:

(see the link but basically its so)

1) temporary root with fre3vo

2) Revolutionary

3) root with su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1194488

dont post more than one thread on the same topic

and you have a bricked phone. go to your device forum and search this up
[General Questions and Answers] rootfan:
Now as you do have a bricked device, and that is never a fun situation, I will offer some advice. First, you can not rename that file, as android will not boot. I have no clue what device you are running but i hope that at one point in time you made a back up and have clockworkmod recovery. Go into recovery and restore one of your backups and you should have a running system again.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Led4lyf:
I flashed srf 1.2 and genocide kernal 1.1 about two weeks ago and ever since my phone is just been really buggy.

For example: I go to call someone and and it connects for about one second and then ends the call. When this happens it also shuts down all the sounds, like the ringer volume buttons don't beep. The only way to get it back to normal is to shut it down and pull the battery.

I don't know if this is a problem but the 3g symbol has two arrows, sometimes it seems like they are white colored for a really long time like no 3g data is coming or going.

There also has been just a number of little annoying things that happen at random.

I have reflashed once already and it seemed to cure some of the problems but then new ones came up.

What are the possibilites of what is wrong? Rom,Kernal,Both,bad download?

What would you guys do? Should I odin back to normal and then download rom and kernal and reflash?

Can someone give me a link to some known clean files that i need for odin to flash back to eco5. If i do odin back to i need to erase anything before i do? Like themes or stuff like that.

Thank you to anyone that can help.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sniperkill:
I would re-download everything to your computer, then transfer to sdcard. Then Odin to stock EC05, then wipe cache, data, dalvik 3 times each, then flash the ROM, then flash the kernel, then any mods you want. Reboot between each flash.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Root:
Correction, flash rom and kernel in the same flash, otherwise you'll get stuck on boot without a kernel.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Led4lyf:
So what files do I need for odin to go back to eco5? Does anyone have a link for the correct files?

I will start with a recommendation once you get up and running to enable journaling seeing that you seem to have some stability issues. Get that here:

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnCorleone:
Almost so necessary on 1.2 that it should probably be baked in with the option to flash the zip to turn it off
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Led4lyf:
Ok so I downloaded the journal On and Off files from your first link. They seem pretty straight forward. Once you have your custom rom and kernal installed you use CWM to flash the ON zip file to enable journaling and you do the same thing with the OFF zip file if you want to turn it off. Is that correct?

Now for the stock files in your second link, I am still not sure which ones I need. I read the whole post and I am wanting to go back to complete stock setup. I think I need this file:Ok so I downloaded the journal On and Off files from your first link. They seem pretty straight forward.

Now for the stock files in your second link, I am still not sure which ones I need. I think I need this file: SPH-D700-DG27-8Gb-REL.tar,and s1_odin_20100512.pit. Are these the two files that I need to return to a stock fresh eco5 setup? I am just wanting to make sure because the files don't say anything about eco5.

Thanks to everyone that is helping me.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnCorleone:
Yes, you just flash the journal on zip right after ROM and kernel then reboot. It adds stability. From the look of the link, it will restore you to an early version of stock and you will most likely be prompted for an OTA update to get back to EC05

They are just simply different lock screens that get baked into roms. Nothing fancy or anything. Like one would be your normal tw lock screen or your basic android lock screen to a puzzle screen that you have to fit the piece of the puzzle to unlock the phone.

I updated my phone (flashed stock 2.2 rom, flashed stock recovery, then used LG updater tool, then ran recovery after flashing) to 2.3 on the day v21e was released and from the day after flashing I am still having to do battery pulls as the phone locks while in standby. Am I the only one having this issue or are there others as well? hopefully the official release doesn't have this problem.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
I've had lockups since day 1... It's gets me so mad. I have a replacement coming in a few days. I've tried everything... Rooting, unrooting, and the 2.3.3 update didn't fix anything! But one thing which was weird, is that 2 days ago, when I was at Oceanport, NJ Warped Tour, my phone was in my bag. It was about 98 degrees outside, and my phone was really hot... It managed to stay on the entire time... WHICH WAS WEIRD! But I hope my replacement doesn't have an problems.

My dad has a G2X with NO PROBLEM AT ALL. Absolutely NO screenbleeding whatsoever! and he's NEVER had a lockup/reboot!

[T-Mobile LG G2x] unusualparadigm:
My g2x froze all the time while idle. I read a thread once that claimed upping the minimum CPU clockspeed to 312MHz fixed the problem, so I used SetCPU to increase it and it stopped freezing after that. Reboots were another issue though...
