Have you followed my downgrade guide..?
[HTC Desire S] Anti_virus_abdo:
Yes i Did

but there was an error permission denied

and i found someone had this error too and they told him to try zegRush method :)

thanks :)
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
I am not sure what is exactly the reason for you to get this error. But in this case maybe doing the change manually is the best possibility to be sure that everything is done correctly.

While in the recovery, connect the device to the PC. Mount /data and /sdcard (do not confuse with "activate USB storage", use the mount menu) from the recovery menu.

Then follow the instructions here. Pay attention for the # prompt (not $)
[HTC Desire S] Anti_virus_abdo:
here's what happened "Attachment" :(

though the phone is Unlocked!
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
OK, this explains all.

Which recovery have you flashed?

4EXT is recommended

Hi, same problems, but i successfully downgrade from ICS 4.0.4 to 2.3.5 using this guide.

I am not responsible for damage of your phones. This guide worked for me. All files you need are attached.

0. First copy Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip on sdcard

1. Unlock Bootloader with HTCdev

2. Flash Recovery

2.1. Put phone in 'FASTBOOT' & USB (Fastboot USB)

2.2. Put "recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-saga.img" into your Platform-tools folder (C:\Android\platform-tools), 'shift + right-click' the folder and 'Open command window here'

2.3. Then

fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-saga.img

3. Install Superuser: Select 'install zip from sdcard' , Then Select 'choose zip from sdcard' , Then Select 'Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip' , Then Select 'Yes - install Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip' to confirm , Then 'power off'

4. Start phone normally and ensure USB debugging is enabled

5. Download "misc_version_universal.zip" and extract "misc_version" file to the platform-tools folder (C:\Android\platform-tools), 'shift + right-click' the folder and 'Open command window here' and type:

adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp/
adb shell
su
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
/data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.00.000.0 [COLOR="Red"]replace 1.00.000.0 with your version[/COLOR] [I](example: RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_[COLOR="red"]2.10.401.8[/COLOR])[/I]
exit
exit

6. Power off', 'FASTBOOT' & USB, Re-Lock your bootloader

7. Now run your RUU in Fastboot USB mode (ATTENTION!! Fastboot USB mode, not normal mode)

I hope that was helpful. :)

downgrading a non-rooted phone

Hi everybody, I was wondering if someone maybe knows if it's possible to downgrade a non-rooted HTC Desire S (S510e) S-ON, back to gingerbread from ICS. Recently I upgraded my phone using RUU, and the only major difference is that I'm really annoyed. The problem is sometime slow performance, sometimes the screen just won't react to my attempts to simply open a folder or swipe it.

Long (and boring) story short, I don't like ICS, can I downgrade from it back to stock gingerbread (2.3.5) WITHOUT rooting, because I'll lose my warranty if I do, and how would one go about doing that?

P.S. I looked for a thread where this problem might have already been discussed, and I couldn't find anything. In case I missed it, I apologise for being stupid, and could some please point me in the right direction, and I will click the thanks button.
[HTC Desire S] gigicostica:
Thanx a lot. I've lost all hope until i fount this post. Im back to gingerbreat at last. Tx again man.

[HTC Desire S] karimXDA:
Thank You

I just created this account only to say: THANK YOU :laugh:

Thanks again man, you are my heroooooooooo :good:

Warranty

I would like to ask you, if I do it my warranty still on or I will lost?
[HTC Desire S] prreis:
As for i know, if you unlock bootloader with HTCDev you will lose your warranty. I'm in the same condition and prefer to wait till there is an way to do it without losing the warranty. It sucks, but for me it's the better way :(

Unable to install from Play store

After having successfully followed the steps put here by Junior Member, I have downgraded my HTC Desire S from ICS to Gingerbread. However I am now unable to install applications from Google Play that are listed as being Android 2.2 and up compatible. I would be grateful if anyone had any ideas as to why this might be the case, although I will obviousy be trying to continue my search of the forum for an answer.

Thanks in advance
[HTC Desire S] helbet:
Hi there!

My Desire S is S-Off (XTC Clip),rooted, with custom recovery and I have ICE DS 6.0 on it.

Personally I think that ICS is not worth because my phone has lag even with overclock..

So that is why I will try to revert it to 2.3.5 (Endymion).

Considering that I am S-OFF what should I need to do?

Thanks a lot!
[HTC Desire S] jugg1es:
Honestly, using xtc clip I don't think there is anything you need to do. Your permanently s-off, with a supercid. I'm sure I'm correct but I'm also sure it I'm wrong I will be corrected in a couple of minutes;)

Research is what I'm doing when I don't know what I'm doing. ~Wernher Von Braun
[HTC Desire S] helbet:
Thanks a lot for your quick answer!

Then I will wait a couple of minutes.. :)
[HTC Desire S] teadrinker:
That's just going from one custom rom to another, if I understood you correctly. Then it doesn't matter which version of Android you're going from/to.
[HTC Desire S] helbet:
OK, I will try. I was worry about the different size of partitions after ICS upgrade..
[HTC Desire S] teadrinker:
It's only the cache partition that's smaller (to make room for /system/lib) , and that doesn't seem to be an issue

Please suggest ICS ROMS for my DHD based on the following features:

1) Fast and smooth

2) Minimum Bugs (if rom contains bugs please mention)

3) More RAM present

4) Looks and appearance

5) no AOSP please (liked only ice Cold rom)

6) Excellent camera and Sound

7) Best battery life

The ones I have tested are

1) ICe Cold [AOSP] - nice and smooth.

2) Blackout ICS [old 3.0 one]

3) Nik Project X v4.1 [liked the ICON theme feature]

I have seen Sabsa too has released their rom

I would like to know which ROM do you people find most pleasing and why.

Also if you tried and did not select a ROM , why not.

This question if asked a number of times. Please ignore the thread and carry on. Ill try all the roms and then decide, It will take long but :(

Ones on my mind:

1) ICe Cold [AOSP] - nice and smooth.

2) Blackout ICS [old 3.0 one]

3) Nik Project X v4.1 [liked the ICON theme feature]

4) Sabsa Bliss v1.0

I did read some threads but i was not able to find an excat answer to the question.

I tried it once but ended up messing my fone to a level that i had to take it to the service center.

The guys from service center replaced the board and put 4.0.3 lq2 which was for the region UK/Ireland.

I want to be sure this time before i did an update.

I was able to find a thread from dr ketan which said that i had to shift to shift to GB before i could flash 4.0.4 from 4.0.3

Please assist!!!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpyderTracks:
Dr ketans thread has all the info you need if you read it thoroughly. It's a simple job but you won't get a walk through, just read till you understand and then flash with pc Odin. Nuff said.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antique_sonic:
If you have never done it before (or once but failed), I suggest you read and google / search more about how to do it manually without OTA / Kies.

Especially if you want to install the latest LRQ. A lot of websites are giving advice to do a full wipe on the installation of LRQ, eventhough some users are succeeded in flashing without wiping.

And in order to do a full wipe, you will need to use a safe kernel on your device (which need rooting first),

or

if you do not want to root your device, you will need to go back to GB rom first and do a full wipe on GB rom, then flash the LRQ from ODIN.

WARNING :

Do not do full wipe with ICS stock kernel and/or non-safe ICS custom kernel !

For LRQ thread : Click here, and read carefully !

There are some reply referring on how to flash this ROM also (under page 8) if I'm not wrong.

But sit "relaxly", and read carefully before you do anything to your phone, since you don't want to brick it again, right ?

---------- Post added at 06:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:55 PM ----------

ya..

dr. ketan is the best for rooting/unrooting, and all other thing for flashing :good:

I always refer back to his method, and always work, since my Galaxy-S time.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baz77:

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romcio47:
First of all - it's kernEL.

Second - you have a bootloop. And you don't have to wipe data when flashing ftf file - just go to recovery and select "Factory reset". Then POWER OFF the device (don't boot it!) and flash the ftf file. This should help.

I get what you're asking but why not just dual boot ICS and Jelly bean? If you're concerned about stability you won't have any issues with ICS if you're running a decent Rom. Just my opinion.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] The_Fallen_angel:

ICS feels so buggy compared to GB. Things just always worked better on GB. But I digress.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] The_Fallen_angel:
I disagree if you find a good ICS rom ICS is much better then GB There is just no comparison between the 2 with the right rom it can run just as smooth as GB but with some added features that really come in handy
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dsmboost:
The extra features are the only reason I am on ICS. I am running SHOstock2, which IMO is probably the best ICS rom, but it is still a bit buggier than GB. As with the OP, once there is a stable JB rom, I would love to dual boot GB and Jellybean.

A. Kernel partition is shared between roms. Dual boot functionality is implemented in ICS kernel. ICS kernel can run only ICS roms."
