Ok, my bad. I thought I can downgrade my original stock hboot-2.00.0002 but obviously I was wrong.

misc_version didn't deceive RUU, so it didn't agree to install anything but latest official ICS... It always gave error "ERROR 151" while I was unlocked and when I relocked, it gave "ERROR 131 Invalid CID". My CID btw is HTC__J15 and it is listed in rom,zip of Asia RUU, but still...

Since I was unable to make goldcard, I guess I have no choice but unlock again and remain with S-ON... :(
[HTC Desire S] Skanob:
If you would only just follow the guide. You can downgrade from the Latest HBOOT to the oldest. I have been doing this since I came up with the method.
[HTC Desire S] SamePaul:
Really? Lets go over the guide:

Preparation - done. Does it really matter where I put files on my PC? Don't think so

Creating gold card - made it. However it just destroyed SD filesystem. Not sure it was useful in any way.

Unlocking bootloader - already unlocked

Flashing custom recovery - already had 4EXT

Flashing root access - custom ROM was already rooted

Modify version - done.

Locking bootloader - this step I indeed initially missed and RUU gave me ERROR 155. But then I go over all you replies and noted, that your favorite answer is "follow guide exactly" so I did lock as well. After this I received ERROR 131. I tried several RUU versions, since I wasn't sure which one is for "my region". Always same result. Except latest ICS RUU of course, which did install after re-locking, but it was not downgrade.

So what exactly I didn't exactly?
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Your GoldCard is not made properly (you already figured it out by yourself) and you are trying to use wrong RUU. That's why the official one works, because it contains all CID numbers

Sent from my HTC Desire S
[HTC Desire S] SamePaul:
Well, I made goldcard according to 2nd method (the Windows app seemingly needs .NET which I don't have). Assuming both apps (android and windows) do the same, how can SD card remain valid if its MBR is destroyed? Maybe I had to use SD card of very specific size? I used 2GB card..

Regarding to CID - how can I know to which region belongs my phone? Is there any table saying "Europe - HTC__001-HTC__111, Asia - HTC__200-HTC__222" etc? I tried to google it and searched XDA, but didn't find anything informative.
[HTC Desire S] SkiesOfDoom:
I came across this list. When I am home I can look it up for you and post it here, if you would like too.
[HTC Desire S] SamePaul:
You have latest Alpharev HBOOT, which prevents updating itself to older versions, so that it wouldn't get overwritten by RUUs and you won't end up with locked phone after upgrade.

The only way for you to overwrite it is by DD.

Make nandroid backup of your phone.

Put hboot.img on your SD card and then

adb push my_new_hboot.img /sdcard/hboot.img

Backup your alpharev hboot

adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/hboot_7001002.img

Flash new hboot

dd if=/sdcard/hboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

Reboot your phone and you would new HBOOT.

Now you need to go to recovery again, format all partitions and restore nandroid backup.

Be careful, flashing invalid HBOOT will make you phone unusable. Alpharev HBOOTs don't provide "lib" pratition but newly flashed HBOOT can. In this case your phone might not up again (depends on your recovery).

[HTC Desire S] Skanob:
Really? Have you read about the side note regarding the RUUs from the Requirements? :eek:

The reason you cannot downgrade is because of your failed attempts to make a goldcard. With the method that "I'm" using, yes it is obsolete, but definitely works. If you cannot work with a PC that uses my method, then it's definitely not my problem.
[HTC Desire S] SamePaul:
Thanks, captain.

Didn't YOU wrote that? So don't blame me for not following guide if you don't know yourself whether it is supposed to work or not.

And nobody said that it is your problem. Of course it is my problem ;) All I said - I did what is written and it didn't work.

Anyway, forget about it. I didn't plan to make you nervous. I'm fine with what I get so far.
[HTC Desire S] irminsul:
Thanks, followed the guide and it just works. Maybe it's handy if you know ADB quite a bit, and know what the commands do. But it's quite easy :). Finally I'm able to root my sisters saga, still not convienced her to buy a Nexus, life is so easy when owning a Nexus.

Hi, i tried this method with my desire s. But i am expiriencing some problems.

i started with this cfg:

*** UNLOCKED ***

saga pvt ship s-on rl

hboot-2.00.0002

radio-3822.10.08.04_m

eMMc-boot

aug 22 2011, 15:22:13

after i made the "fastboot oem lock", it is stuck to the "RELOCKED - Security Warning" Screen. I can't get into recovery or boot any OS.

I think i did read the whole thread now, (my phone doesnt work for 2 days now) but i cant find a solution to get it back working.

I dont know if my problem is an incorrect RUU or something else?

When i try the RUUs, its get stuck at "sending" and after some time (20-30 minutes) i pull the USB Cable.. ( i also tried longer...)

I think i missed the Goldcard thing. I did an Image with the Goldcard Helper from the market, but i didnt use the image.. :/ (thought its only for branded phones, mine isnt)

Any suggestions how i get my phone back working?

some info:

i tried with the following RUUs:

RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.8_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_225161_signed.exe

tbh, i've never done the updates before, but i still could flash new ROMs which works perfectly smoothly.

so suck, use RUU ICS WWE not satisfied...

:laugh:
[HTC Desire S] Fastrite:
Using the various guides and threads on XDA it's quite possibly to downgrade, upgrade, relock, restore OEM ROM, send for warranty etc. and still have the joys of flashing ROMs in an addictive fashion! :D
[HTC Desire S] prreis:
Yes but for what i've read, it is necessary to unlock using HTCDev way, and that makes me loose the warranty and i don't want that :(

I just wait till there's a way to do it without losing the warranty :good:
[HTC Desire S] ben_s247:
There's not but what happened to my phone when it was still under warranty was just as expensive a regular untouched desire s and the ota update nearly destroyed the phone having to be sent to Taiwan to get fix and had I rooted the phone in the first place I could have fixed the thing myself. In a nut shell the warranty isn't worth the paper it's printed on. and there is enough good explanations on how to root or S-off here and in other places you can do it with out asking any questions by doing so you are only burying old answers hope this helps with your decision.

When do you think they'll find another method to root ics ruu without unlocking the bootloader with htcdev?

I don't know whether to root now or wait
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
You can wait but Desire S is really outdated now so I doubt any of the advanced hackers will go into creating S-OFF for 2.02.x bootloader. Maybe a temp root exploit for ICS can eventually appear but I highly doubt it since JB is already on the scene

Hello, have one noob question.

My DS is stil under warranty, if i downgrade the bootloader to version 0.98 the bootloader status won't appear correct?

And if i send it to warranty can they 'read' the, most probably hidden, relocked state? (Since the bootloader status not appear) thanks for the help

Edit: forgot to say, if it is an hardware issue, like, for example, the power button is 'broking'.

I bought the same battery off Amazon never lasted longer than 4hrs with only heavy txting really but my stock battery doesn't last long either so I've read the reviews for it so I'm thinking it's my phone
[Verizon Droid Charge] BuglessFan:
Yup. Just check that they're OEM Samsung batteries and they'll be the same as you'd get from VZW for a lot more. I got a few for my OG Droid and they outlasted my use of the phone. Got two this time just because they were so cheap, but haven't had a reason to use them yet, though I have one hot-charged. Usually takes 10 days or so to get to you by China Post, but there's no scam. They're just dirt cheap there and they still make a little sending them along.

The wall charger is fine, just don't ever bother trying to use the USB on it. I know it used to drive the screen bananas and phantom click all over the damned place. It's cool for the battery alone tho.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crankerchick:
I am about at my wits end and ready to sell this thing because my music stutters sometimes when multitasking. It happens most often when using the browser (open new tab, clink a link in an app that sends me to the browser, etc) but also occasionally happens just switching applications.

This happens when using the stock player with my own local .mp3 files as well as when streaming using either Pandora or Spotify.

I feel like I'm back in the days of my old Pentium I / Win 95 machine and I just don't think this should be happening.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Any tips on what to try? My next things to try are factory refresh and also a different music player (although I don't this will have any effect). I also have thought about getting an app from the market that will tell me cpu usage.

This is a WiFi only xoom, still stock, but soon to be rooted if I decide to actually keep it. I've had it for I guess 2 weeks and the audio stutter is one of the first things I noticed and is actually a big deal breaker for me since the main reason I bought the thing was so I could listen to music, watch movies, and browse the web. I'm just not sure if I got a lemon or not. It otherwise seems fine.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
OK, I now have used Set DNS and set my wifi to Google DNS and get much faster downloads and that seems to have really helped with this music stuttering issue while browsing. I used both the updated PowerAMP app playing mp3s from my micro sdcard, and also streamed music using Rhapsody and no stuttering, no effect whatever, as I surfed. I don't know if this will help you, but it seems to have solved this problem for me.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crankerchick:
Thanks I may try to give that a try. I don't really know how to do any of that, but I'm sure I can figure it out with google.

The $600 tablet that can't play music and browse comment is exactly why I have a dilemma. I wooted the xoom so I would have to sell it at whatever loss plus spend the extra $250 over what I paid for the xoom to get an iPad 2 of the same capacity of 32 GB. Even the 16 GB iPad 2 is still $150 more. Not that money is the issue, I'll spend the extra if I deem it worth it, but I just feel like the tablet market is changing quickly enough that who knows in 6 months to a year I'll probably want to get a different one any way, no matter whether I have a xoom or an ipad 2 right now. I really have grown to like the xoom and don't want to get rid of it over basically this one issue, and it's not like I can't get around the music stuttering issue by using my ipod or phone. I guess it's just that I feel I shouldn't *have* to do that.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
The Xoom is really an awesome device and I think it will actually get better with a bit more time. Its problems basically are related to software and there are some solutions now and more coming. The DNS thing is something I hadn't bothered with but I saw something about that app (ugliest icon ever) in Android Police so I checked it out--very easy to set either Google DNS or Open DNS or another, depending on what works for you. I think the app requires root, but you can probably find a way to change it if you're not. I recommend rooting anyway, for a smoother and richer user-controlled experience.
