[Legend Android Development] yrref:
Shame it didn't work so far! But keep it up.

If this is possible, would 1.32 be possible aswell :) ?

Good luck!

[Legend Android Development] Pharaohnough:
I'm a bit lost here...

I followed Paul's instructions and have gained root access through su and now I'm at the # prompt

What command do I need to enter?

I get a file not found error when I try

/data/local/flash_image misc /data/local/misc1-2.img
[Legend Android Development] renotm:
Yes, it works for me.

I install the tmproot in order to flash misc image with the misc1-2.img pushed by the crackin.bat

I follow this tutorial. I have the same error messages but the downgrade work after that.

I'm re-rooting my legend in order to put my cyanogenMod :)
[Legend Android Development] renotm:
Did you push the /data/local/misc1-2.img before ?
[Legend Android Development] Pharaohnough:
Well I tried the original downgrade instructions many times in frustration today and gave it a rest for a few hours (during which Paul came up with the solution). It just occured to me that I might have done a device wipe to use it [clean] until someone comes up with the solution so I suppose the last time I tried I didn't push the .img

Does the .img get pushed by the crackin.bat procedure or do I need to do that manually? Running crackin.bat right now as I write this
[Legend Android Development] Blindie:
i get this:

c---rw---- 1...

but i can root still
[Legend Android Development] Pharaohnough:
Success!

I'm in... Now downgrading :)

Thanks all

1)downgrade it's possibile on Htc legend with 2.05 firmware?

Downgrade from Froyo?

Can i use the procedure to downgrade back to 1.31?
[Legend Android Development] sasory:
Hi)) Help me please. The third day I struggle I try to lower HBOOT from 1.00 on 0.43 and it is impossible. The way Paul doesn't help, gives out an error and when I ask access through SU writes Permission denied. Sorry for clumsy English
[Legend Android Development] dirkkuyken:
Ok I really don't get it...

So I'm on the Vodafone froyo rom...

- used the crackin.bat -> get the cr---rw- message

x tried the ruu installer (first setup errors at waiting for bootloader, second setup error at waiting for handshake)

- then I installed Visionary + pressed "Temproot now"

- Installed superuser

- after that I went with cmd to my android/tools were adb.exe is located

- then I entered adb.exe (shows list of commands)

- Entered adb shell su

- get a message from superuser for permission

and now I'm stuck... (cmd gives me the # from the terminal)

I don't know what to enter in the terminal or should i crtl+c and continue ?

I can't enter anything in the terminal...

If I enter in cmd adb push misc1-2.img devicename

than I get the error "Failed to copy devicename is read only file system"

please help, I really could use a detailed guide !!!
[Legend Android Development] sasory:
Service the center, called today there, have answered my problem: there are two variants - or break the scheme responsible HBOOT or there is a program (as on HTC HERO) put it and break HBOOT. A question: where to take such program on ours Legend?
[Legend Android Development] BlaY0:
You need to understand what you are doing not just folow recipes! If you don't understand then you better not try.

Leave it the way it is otherwise you could **** up something...
[Legend Android Development] dirkkuyken:
I do understand somehow what i'm doing but it just doesnt work... it just doesnt get writing permissions of the system

I've tried to do the crackin.sh manually but it does not work. And what does it matter if i understand the inner workings or not, i just want to be able to flash roms, i dont need to know about the inner workings...

I'd rather try and **** it up than stay on this official not rooted ROM, wich isnt my official one
[Legend Android Development] BlaY0:
Suit yourself, coz nobody will write recipe just for you...
[Legend Android Development] dirkkuyken:
OK I didn't **** it up, but I did get it to downgrade.

BlaY0 you can't expect everybody on this forum to be so "1337" as you.

You do have noobs and novices on this forum who also like to eat a piece of the pie, its their own risk if the pie tasted badly. (imo I'm not a noob nor a novice, I just got my special ability's somewhere else (programming Java/C++/vb.net/vhdl).

Linux isn't my closest friend, I really hate those classes...

No hard feelings though.
[Legend Android Development] BlaY0:
None taken. Considering you are a programmer, I suppose that your programs are not just copy pasted snippets from the internets. It's the same here... you have like tens of guides/howtos, you just need to read them carefully understanding what they are trying to teach you...

[Legend Android Development] noxius:
Hey,

may I ask how you got it to work? I´m stuck also... Can´t downgrade from HBOOT 1.00 in order to root it! (get get the cr---rw- message)
[Legend Android Development] rmrm300:
Hi eveybody,

I hope someone can help me...

I've performed all the steps in the downgrade tutorial but installation of RUU WWE 1.31 or WWW 1.23 gives an Error 131: customer id error.

However I was able to downgrade to RUU_Legend_Vodafone_UK_1.32.161.4. This means a goldcard issue right?

Anyway, I've tried two different cards with the two different methods (the goldcard utility and the one using HxD) and the result is always the same... custom ID check fail. Still a goldcard issue?

When downgrading the ROM, the HBOOT remains 1.00?
[Legend Android Development] rmrm300:
Nevermind.. Managed to do it.. (Gold Card issue)
[Legend Android Development] Zacki06:
Hey there guys.

I'm just tryin to downgrade my Legend at the moment. As far as I know, it is unbranded (bought it via Amazon).

My problem now is, that I can't continue in progress cause of an strange issue.

Things i did so far:

Installed the SDK (Win7)

Created a Goldcard. (tried some different methods to create the reverse CID)

Run the "crackin.bat" (it worked every try until now)

And finally I tried to install the 1.31 RUU, but this failed every time so far.

The thing I don't get is, that the Phone still has 2.1, the HBOOT number is still 0.43.0001 BUT every time I run the 1.31 Setup again, it says that the RomNumber on the Phone is the same as the one i want to flash on.

Enyone an idea what went wrong?

Cheers

Zacki

Edit: okay, solved it :) Have a custom rom running now :D
[Legend Android Development] ThE_mASk:
Maybe somebody already asked about that issue I got, but reading 30+ pages to find it is really hard.

I do all that is said. Everything seems to be ok, until I reach the installation of the downgraded ROM. I start it, it reboots my phone saying it will reboot it to Bootloader mode. The phone reboots, I see the big silver "HTC" letters on black screen and my phones stays like that. The Installation says "Waiting for bootloader..." and after some time it reaches a timeout and I see the "ERROR [171]: USB CONNECTION ERROR".

I Unplug the phone and I see the white screen saying:

"LEGEND UNKNOWN SHIP S-ON

HBOOT-0.43.0001

MICROP-0816

TOUCH PANEL-SYN07_0103

RADIO-7.08.35.21

Feb 18 2010, 16:29:10

RUU"

And the three green android robots below.

On that screen my phone is not responsive anymore. I need to take out the battery in order to reboot it.

Any suggestions ?!? :(

Update: Fixed the problem with update of the HTC Sync. I feel stupid ! Sorry for the post...
[Legend Android Development] fuzzman:
Refer to page 35 of this thread.

I had the same problem as well.

1) Exit RUU when it says "ERROR [171]: USB CONNECTION ERROR".

2) Unplug the device from USB

3) Re-connect the device again via USB and start the RUU again.

It should work now.
[Legend Android Development] bradtraver:
Every time I try to download the RUU_Legend_HTC_WWE_1.31.405.5_R_Radio_47.26.35.04_7.05.

35.26L_release_126592_signed.exe the download fails, is there a mirror?
[Legend Android Development] bradtraver:
I get an Error 170 (USB Connection) with the upgrade utility, but it is connected for sure. I can run ADB Devices and it shows up just fine. What is causing this?

*EDIT*

After I installed HTC Sync it worked flawlessly :)
[Legend Android Development] zoomee:
anyone get this hack to work downgrading from Froyo 2.2?

I keep getting the cr--rw---- problem as highlighted in the OP :(
[Legend Android Development] Frostbeule2k:

[Legend Android Development] zoomee:
Think the hack needs updating as the Froyo update will be slightly different to previous builds.

Guess I'm right :) - Find guide at modaco for this - thanks paul (and the dude who pm'd me this link!)

[Legend Android Development] sjaak1234:
Same here. Shipped roms server seems terrible.

Also a question about the guide. I have never done this before so just making things sure.

So I connect my phone, run the files, it will reboot a couple of times and show the right line. Now I power off the phone, put in the goldcard, boot the phone and it will go into recovery menu or something? Where I have to select something like connect to pc? And than run the .exe from my pc?
[Legend Android Development] i4o:
Choose from here http://www.shipped-roms.com/shipped/Legend/
[Legend Android Development] sjaak1234:
That just links to the same site and it seems that shipped roms for the moment is fubar as not a single download will complete.

edit: seems like shipped roms works fine again.
[Legend Android Development] PaulKemp:
I'm not able to update to the offical froyo update for the Legend. I'm guessing since it's rooted and downgraded with this guide. When I try to apply the 1.31.405 (3,5 mb, not froyo but the previous) system update, the phone just reboots without having applied the update. Hence, I'm not able to install the official HTC froyo update.

So, I'm asking, how do i restore the legends orognal state? How do i remove all the fiddeling ive done to it?

got it: Restored with a RUU file with the same version as I had installed, unrooted, installed all OTA updates, and bang. Original Froyo with Sense. Thx

The proper driver was installed, the goldcard isn't in the device while doing this (i put in a formatted sd card). I reset the phone to factory settings, still not working. Anyone know what to do?
[Legend Android Development] mad-murdock:
thanks a lot - that saved my day, and absolutly works! i had latest ota update (german/euro 3.14) and crackin.bat produced the error at then end!

btw: hacking a legend for a friend is so much more screwed up then my simple desire hacking (:

Now you see that clicking once does not deserve to be called hacking.

OMG

Finally downgraded.

Initially had troubles with ERROR 170. Installed HTC Sync to fix this.

Then was stuck on ERROR 130. Had a goldcard, but turned out that I had NOT reversed the CID and changed the first two characters to 0's.

Time to root.

Hi Folks,

If you don't mind me asking, do you reckon this will work for HTC Wildfire running 2.2 RUU from shipped ROMs with Hboot of 1.01? TIA.
[Legend Android Development] HpX:
Dont think so
[Legend Android Development] KWReid:
Thanks. It works on HTC Legend from Bell in Canada!

Thanks very much for this. It took me far too long to find a good working set of instructions that would work on my unlocked HTC Legend from Bell in Canada!
[Legend Android Development] projectvirtue:
I was wondering if anybody can help me out.

so far i've successfully created a gold card and installed the downgrading tools etc

However i cant install the RUU properly.

the bar still start moving, the phone will reboot, but it hangs at the HTC logo.

after a couple minutes, it gives me error 170 or 171.

I've tried running it a second time after it gave the error

and i saw some users did it by using HTC sync but when i run the RUU while the phone is connected with HTC sync mode, then it disconnects and stops reading the device before i can install the EXE.

does anybody have any ideas?

EDIT: i now cant run it twice.

instead of getting error 170, i just get, "RUU cannot update your android device"

when i hit exit, my phone boots up to the home screen.

any ideas with this?
[Legend Android Development] sturk91:
Bump.Exact same problem.

USB debugging is turned on, my phone is connected, but the RUU claims that it is not.

RESOLVED: Make sure that after you run crackin you don't disconnect or reboot the phone. Use the RUU straight away. That was the mistake I made, I believe.
[Legend Android Development] siroj:
After reading tons of posts and already have succesfully rooted my own Desire + change the ROM to CM7, there should be no problem rooting my wife's Legend. I only have one question regarding the goldcard. Both of our HTC's are completely unbranded and original HTC. If i read ok, there is no need for me to create a goldcard for the Legend and this is only necessary if you do have a network branded phone.

And indeed, its not hard to create a goldcard. But i dont have a spare SD card and i vagely remember that i dont need te create a goldcard if i have an unbranded, unlocked and original HTC device.

If there is no point in creating one because it is not needed in my situation than i would like to know.

So, the short question is: Do i need to create a goldcard when i am going to root this phone (and run CM7 or any other ROM) if my wife's Legend is unbranded, unlocked and original HTC?

So, I'm trying to root my phone but i need to downgrade.

I made a gold card. I downloaded everything, I made sure my HTC Sync was the correct version.

I get to the point where i'm supposed to run the RUU installer on my PC. I keep getting errors. I got a Error 130 MODEL ID ERROR. And i've also gotten the 170 USB Connection error a couple times.

Any idea how to solve this?

I believe my goldcard is correct, I downloaded all the right software. I started in debugging mode.
