[Desire Android Development] bariz143:
i get the same error with the communication.

I downgraded.

Uninstalled htc COMPLETLY

installed the unrevoked android usb driver

rebooted

turned usb debugging on started unrevoked in admin mode

and it still fails.

before i upgraded to 0.92 i used this method 1 milion times and it always worked.
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Has anybody tried downgrading 0.83.001 with this method yet?

My branded o2 Desire has this on it and there's not much I can do with it without downgrading to 0.80 I think.
[Desire Android Development] Sammy83:
if you are on 0.83 update the official FroYo OTA so you have 0.92 and then downgrade to 0.80.

i can't confirm that it's possible with 0.83 :(
[Desire Android Development] Sammy83:
i think i had a similar problem while rerooting / custom recovery.

Try to downgrade again and remove all update.zip files from your SD card before.
[Desire Android Development] bariz143:
when i try to install a custom ruu i get bootloader error

and with the unrevoked i get main version older.

it has something to do with my signature i think..
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
It's a branded phone so I can't get the OTA update, and I can't debrand on 0.83 as far as I know.
[Desire Android Development] bariz143:
witch files do i need to have in my sd to use unrevoked??
[Desire Android Development] Sammy83:
bad situation mate....

you can try on your own risk or wait until someone can confirm it. :(
[Desire Android Development] Sammy83:
Take a look on the first post of this thread!
[Desire Android Development] ardsar:
If using clockwork recovery, there is an option somewhere to turn off signature verification.
[Desire Android Development] bariz143:
I have a zip rom file and the PB99 file is that the only things i need in the sd?
[Desire Android Development] Sammy83:
To use unrevoke you need nothing on you SD card because the files are going to be pushed through the unrevoke program.

if you are talking about the downgrading you only need the PB99IMG.zip on your SD.

For unrooting after custom recovery with unrevoke you need a custom ROM zip file which you can apply.
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Try flashing the normal PB99IMG.zip file (the one dated 19 May on shipped-roms). Maybe that will fix the rooting problem?
[Desire Android Development] veZuk:
I did it!

My actions:

1) Install HTC Sync with drivers

2) Reflash PB99IMG.zip

3) Made gold card

4) Uninstall HTC Sync with HTC Drivers

5) Connected Desire and install Android drivers

6) Used unrevoke

7) ... Success!
[Desire Android Development] bariz143:
thx for all the help dude. ill have to wait for something else because this doesnt work for me. i can only do the downgrade. cant flash or root anything now.
[Desire Android Development] Sammy83:
i've got the same problem the first time. downgrade a second time works like a charm.
[Desire Android Development] txitxi2004:
Awesome news is awesome :D

One doubt

4. Enable USB debugging on your phone.
5. Start unrevoke and follow the instructions
6. if unrevoke is completed you should be in custom recovery.

what state should your phone be when you start unrevoke?
[Desire Android Development] commandergc:
Just like to say THANK YOU! :D

for some reason i had to create a gold-card despite having a sim free model.
[Desire Android Development] Sammy83:
your phone should be running normaly.

It's the normal unrevoke method. You can finde a detailed tutorial here
[Desire Android Development] bariz143:
haha dont know if u noticed but i have downgraded it 14 times :)
[Desire Android Development] Sammy83:
:) hehe possible mate. i think i've lost overview ;)

I'm out of ides how i can help you. maybe Paul or Adam have some ideas for that.
[Desire Android Development] bariz143:
yeah thx alot anyway.
[Desire Android Development] black_impact:
just for information, it seems i killed my desire, trying to downgrade from 0.83 to 0.80.

the screen keeps black, and i only can hear the htc-bootsound.

i'm going to send it back to o2 germany and hope, the bill won't be high...
[Desire Android Development] rroby30:
everything ok

downgrade from ota upgrade 0.92 to 0.80 without goldcard (no brand cell.)

use unrevoked 3 to root and install modaco froyo rooted version

all right

thank to everyone works to this

(sorry not english)
[Desire Android Development] bariz143:
one more question to you sammy. when i try to install the usb driver i get the message that i already have the latest driver so i cant install the drivers from unrevoked. can it have something to do with that maybe?
[Desire Android Development] looking-g:
Yep it worked for me i am now on opendesire urevoked did the trick thanks again
[Desire Android Development] Sammy83:
mhh when you already have the latest driver then everything should be fine.

otherwise try to uninstall htc sync if you haven't already and reinstall the unrevoke driver.
[Desire Android Development] bariz143:
done that to. :(:( cant stand it anymore. have to get away from my computer for a while or i will blow up my fu""¤#¤% computer and phone
[Desire Android Development] sfogg:
Ok I fixed the problem. The third try with the third SD was the good one. LeeDroid is now installed. Thx for everything.
[Desire Android Development] chill today:
Sorry to hear some folks are having bad luck with this.

Me All Brilliant :D:D:D

Worked for me. Rooted & New Rom installed.

chill........
[Desire Android Development] bariz143:
did u do a goldcard?
[Desire Android Development] chill today:
No I did not.

I have a generic Desire. Not branded.
[Desire Android Development] chaosmarine:
1 question m8. Only unrevoked can be used for rerooting, or any metod, like r6 riskfree, can be good?

Thank's.
[Desire Android Development] c0ke:
Thanks guys.. The unrevoked 3 method worked well! =)
[Desire Android Development] neelix40:
HI.

my device is old HBOOT Version is 0.75.now 0.92.

its method is work?

i try this,but not fund PB99IMG.ZIP whith Recovery.

[Desire Android Development] extreme22:
Man u guys are the best thanks
[Desire Android Development] Smirge:
thank you SOOO much mate!!!

I am running rooted FroYo now - was unrooted before as i was to impatient to wait :D

I could live without root - but it wouldnt be as fun :D

Thanks again mate!!!!

/Smirge
[Desire Android Development] sandey60:
Did not work for my UNBRANDED HTC Desire with a fine goldcard. Is anybody else in the same soup?

And when I tried without a goldcard, I saw the "CID error" while following this procedure.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] swiftcheeze:
im not sure if this question has been answered before, but here goes.

ive ended up with the vodafone update not out of my own choice. will this method enable me to downgrade hboot from 0.83 to 0.80? and if it does, i can then flash a stock rom, so i can get froyo? im not too bothered about root or any thing as i just want rid of this vodafone bloatware. (of course unless some one can convince me of a good custom rom?)
[Desire Android Development] El_Nino9:
hi, on night shift break at the moment. but i try to fiddle with this tomorrow.

idea was mentioned to stanny08

i will try use open ruu from 42 turkeys i believe to try this predure. i have the offical fro-yo image from htc downloaded with their sign. so what i will do is make open ruu flash that as i cant seem to flash it any other way. i will be using my gold card ofcourse as i know it is branded and i hope this will debrand it. then i plan to use this method to downgrade my hboot.

i will try this tomorrow evening as i am busy in the afternoon and plan to be sleeping when i get home today :)

but if stanny08 has willing to try my idea its up to him. not many people are stuck on this hboot so its kind of being pushed to 1 side lol but yea i will try work on it. will report back when i have done this.

if anyone else understands somewhat what i am trying to do and wants to try it feel free

steps i'll take,

1.create gold card

2.as i use ubuntu, use openruu. it will download a zip file with a name along the lines of a pb99, i will replace this file with the offical fro-yo update signed by htc and rename it exactly that. i will then carry on with what open ruu says and hopefully have debranded official fro-yo

3. downgrade hboot using this method. im sure it works its just some people arent doing it properly and are extremly rude and blame others. they know the risks dont go pointing fingers when things go wrong. nobody forces anyone.

4. use unrevoked

5. install modacos rom

back to work
[Desire Android Development] gourary:
hey there,

i followed the guide, but i have a problem after this step:

after it finished locating the pb99 it started to check it, but wont let me install it!

it say's: " main version is older!"

"update fail!"

"do you want to reboot device?"

wtf did i do wrong?
[Desire Android Development] Marteni:
Worked a treat! Brilliant :D

Thanks Sammy83 and the guys who came up with this.
[Desire Android Development] FatzzCat:
Be sure, you really renamed the file to PB99IMG.ZIP

Sometimes with Windows there is the problem that you accidently rename it to PB99IMG.ZIP.ZIP

You don't need to search the file with "Recovery". Just start with "Volume Down" and "Power Button". If the file has the right name, it will be found automatically.
[Desire Android Development] neelix40:
Hi

I tried this Thread ROM.[FIXED] Downgrading HBOOT to 0.80 from 0.92

and I success to downgrade!!

Thanks for your advice:)
[Desire Android Development] -Happy Feet-:
hi,

i have download the Zip, rename it, and copy this File to the 2 GB SD Card with the Goldimage.

Now on Reboot into the Bootloader the Bootloader cant find the zip file...:confused:

The same file on the root of 16 GB SD Card, the bootloader can load the zip file but i get the "wrong CID" Error :eek::eek:

can anyone help

have the official HTC FroYo ROM on an unbranded Vodafone Desire with the Hboot 0.93
[Desire Android Development] FatzzCat:
Same advise to you: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7530014&postcount=141

To resolve the "Wrong CID Error" I would backup the necessary data on the SD-Card and format it on your pc. This should help
[Desire Android Development] abunawwaf:
how to remove the unrevoke and go back to the custom recovery screen ?

someone told me i have to install an Official RUU, i tried to do that but it give me error "140"

any other solution
[Desire Android Development] thl1988:
I have exactly the same issue. Luckily I only bought my phone on tuesday so I can take it back and say it's a manufacturers fault.
[Desire Android Development] FatzzCat:
HBoot Version 0.83 seems like the device was branded :\

This won't work with branded HTC Desire AFAIK
[Desire Android Development] totodudu:
I've got the same problem but it seems that the phone is always running, geting call...

So i think it could be flashed again but, without screen, it would be hard to select something...
[Desire Android Development] raz2133:
I did mention this earlier in the thread, but it's probably worth repeating.

While the procedure outlined at the start of this thread will indeed downgrade your HBOOT to 0.80, it doesn't change the version information stored in the MISC partition. This can cause all kinds of problems, such as the 140 version error when trying to run an official unmodified RUU.

To completely revert the phone, we need to *fix* the MISC partition.

The simplest way to do this (that I know of), is to root the phone with unrevoked3, then use the clockworkmod recovery to apply the update.zip found in the modaco thread below.

http://android.modaco.com/content/h...com/309939/usb-brick-rickrolled-b0rked-fixed/

This update.zip was originally created to fix the USB brick problem, but it will fix the MISC partition for us, allowing us to run the official unmodified 1.21.405.2 RUU file without errors.

Edit: Just to clarify; You don't need to follow all the instructions in the Modaco thread linked above, you just need to use clockworkmod recovery to apply the update zip found in that thread.
[Desire Android Development] Sammy83:
Thx for this hint :) I'll add this to my first post so it'll be possible to have a "clean" system again.
[Desire Android Development] abunawwaf:
great

i installed it and i will try now to flush an official rom then i will update you with the result
[Desire Android Development] BastiaanN:
Since we cannot have enough mirrors i added another dutch mirror here: hXXp://prionhosting.com/meuk/Desire/PB99IMG.zip

I am really happy i got root again. You'll really miss it if you once had it! ;)
[Desire Android Development] sonicphate:
Will this method work for a hboot downgrade from 0.83 to 0.80?
[Desire Android Development] BastiaanN:
It should.
[Desire Android Development] Sammy83:
No not till now
[Desire Android Development] Sammy83:
thx added to first post.
[Desire Android Development] x-layer:
Hi.

Yes in my case it works.

Regards, X.
[Desire Android Development] psycop:
Do not try this, it will most likely brick your phone as others have reported

Edit: Some people seem to have it working with 0.83 aswell
[Desire Android Development] abunawwaf:
re-root is done :D

a lot thanks to you raz2133
[Desire Android Development] raz2133:
No problem, I am glad it worked for you. :)

Overall, I think it is worth fixing the version info in the MISC partition and running the official RUU. The procedure is simple and it will prevent potential problems later.
[Desire Android Development] erto90:
The operation of downgrading from froyo OTA hboot 0.92 to the 2.1 hboot 0.8 is sure 100% or there is the possibility to brick the phone?
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Apparently USB still works though, so maybe the debrick method of updating the MISC partition will fix this?
[Desire Android Development] FatzzCat:
I don't think, anybody will give you a 100% guarantee on this ;)

But I did not see a downgrade vom HBoot 0.92, that failed ...

Give it a try ;)
[Desire Android Development] abunawwaf:
99% will work

1% about your luck :D

but make sure you followed the right steps
[Desire Android Development] El_Nino9:
well the vodafone branded one asks for a PB99DIAG.zip not the name suggested about this and it ignores which ever way renamed or not. a gold card was used with this procedure. and im 100% sure that the gold card is correct as did the process 4 times and got the same goldcard.img rote it in ubuntu and the phone does nothing as its not the file it looks for
[Desire Android Development] lowrideris:
yep it works :) now hboot 0.80 :DDD
[Desire Android Development] tito_puente:
out of pure curiosity: The OP has a vodafone-device too (i think so). Are there differences between the hboot versions at vodafone-devices? Some have 0.83 and some 0.92? Or what does it mean?
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
0.92 is installed only if you use the OTA Froyo update. 0.83 is installed if you install a recent OTA update to 2.1, or you have a very new phone. My O2 branded SLCD Desire has 0.83 and software 1.20.207.3.
[Desire Android Development] zlayaa:
This worked! Downgraded to 2.1 and then I rooted with Unrevoked's one-click rooting method :D
[Desire Android Development] madd0g:
Also +1 here. Downgraded without Goldcard needed on a unbranded and unlocked Desire (from Mobitel.si)
[Desire Android Development] black_impact:
sorry, i'm again...

i need your help. as i already wrote, i bricked my desire, trying to downgrade my o2_de device from 0.83 to 0.80.

yesterday i tried to use RUU.

for example the stock 1.15 , 1.21 and the o2_de but all said, there ist a bootloader-version error (of course)

so today i worked hard to find a solution but i'm not a professional and my know-how is limited.

at the moment i am using some commands on fastboot...

i tried to update and flash the PB99IMG.zip and its content

now fastboot tells me:

getvar version-bootloader ->0.80

getvar version-main -> 2.09.405.8

when i send the command:

fastboot -w flashall

he says to me:

Picture 1

i think my goldcard is correct.

do you have any ideas or can you tell me that i am on the right/wrong way?
[Desire Android Development] Sammy83:
Have you tried this: repair misc partition
[Desire Android Development] thl1988:
Just to confirm,

Does anyone know for sure if this will work on a Vodafone Branded, HBOOT 0.83, 1.24.161.3 ROM WITHOUT bricking it, while still allowing installation of custom ROMs after rooting again.

The reason I ask is I tried this on my previous Desire with same versions as above (although it was rooted with UnrEVOked), and it bricked the hell out of the phone.

Just wondering if anyone knew as I'm not sure Vodafone will accept that I've got another phone with a 'manufacturers defect' ;).
[Desire Android Development] Sammy83:
I cant confirm that, because i've only one device which was on 0.92 froyo.

@ALL: if someone can confirm it and write some details please?!
[Desire Android Development] black_impact:
okay, i tested it...

you can imagine its very dificult without a display...

at the riskfree root -step

following errors appears:

pic 1

and the next steps(usb brick etc,) i have to go blind... and the result is:

nothing.

some vibrations, some reboots but no change of situation.

i can't say it works or i am handling this wrong
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
If you're still able to flash by the PB99IMG method, try doing that again but with the normal version (not the modified one you used here to downgrade hboot). If that works, but doesn't fix the problem, maybe try the debrick method again but with unrevoked3 instead?
[Desire Android Development] black_impact:
i try this again, but this downgrading brings me to this disaster...

i started it, and the last think i saw was "boot -> ok

than the display turns off (forever)
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
How is that different from before? Can you no longer use fastboot to access it?
[Desire Android Development] black_impact:
fastboot works (see post #171)

i can't see what pb99IMG.zip do, i got no screen, so it's very difficult to say, if doing it again, change anything.

i think the best and only solution will be to replace or to update hboot.

either 0.83 or 0.92 but there is no RUU with 0.83 or 0.92 for my branded phone.

when i try to update/flash in fastboot, he shows me an signature-error...
[Desire Android Development] alonso_7:
does this work without goldcard?i'm having a generic device which is not branded!please if anybody knows answer me because i have serious problems with my gps in a custom rom and i want to put the original froyo to gain again th permissions for the gps and then to downgrade to put another custom rom!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darth1289:
I just upgraded to a rooted Stock Froyo release (3.26.651.6) and while the 2.0.5-pre07 Android tether works, I don't seem to get the good download speeds when I connect my laptop to it.

So the tether application shows speeds of 4-5 Mbps on the phone screen, but when I wirelessly tether to it and run a speed check on my laptop, i barely get 1Mbps, sometimes even around 500kbps. In fact this problem was even worse when I was on the earlier Android release on the phone. It has improved since the Froyo upgrade, but is nowhere close to the speeds that I would like

Any ideas if this is normal? Or am I missing something here?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kornsaq:
what speed test are you using?

I know when I was rooted with 2.1 I was getting around 5-6mbps when using wireless tether with my laptop
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newborn1281:
2.2 opened rooted 2mbps usb tether 6mbps
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darth1289:
Speed test.net
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kllian:
I get anywhere from 2Mbps to 6.7 Mbps depending on location. (that's on 4g)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProcessorHog:
I'm seeing the same thing as darth. Speed tests (the speakeasy one) gives anywhere from 5 to 10 mbps on my phone but on the laptop its around 1 to 1.5. I wonder if encryption has anything to-do with it, I run the WiFi tether app on wpa2 aes with a not-so-short key. Maybe the encryption and the heavier processing slows it down? I'll test without encryption and post the results in a couple of hours.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darth1289:
The funny thing is if I share my internet connection using USB on 4G to my laptop, the speed is around 5 Mbps. So the slow speed is isolated to the wireless tether app and across all devices I connect to it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dabbill:
On 3g with wifi tether pre7 i just did 1.7 meg down, and 0.34 meg up.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProcessorHog:
Yes, I tried again without encryption and that does not seem to be the slowing factor. 4g tethered using WiFi tether app gives 1mbps download and 200k up. On 3g, the tethering app gives 250k download and 20k up.

When I do the same speed test directly from the phone, it shows 5mbps down and 1mbps up on 4g, and 500kbps down and 50kbps up on 3g. So its definitely the app. But since this is a preview, I'm pretty sure the devs will get around to fixing it before too long.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] destes:
Got a good deal on a used Eris, the ebay description said that it was stuck on the boot screen, and that the verizon rep told him that it was because he didn't upgrade to the new os,:confused: so he bought a new phone. I get the phone, flash the new update to it and all goes well.

Well, turns out that it's not the os that was the problem, the digitizer screen isn't responding, at all.:mad: The phone boots up and everything looks like it's working. It gets to the lock screen, and this is where I'm stuck. Since the screen doesn't respond to any touches, I can't unlock it and try anything out. Is there a way to get it to boot to a screen other than the lock screen? I just want to test it out to make sure it's the digitizer and not something else.

So I'm wondering, do the digitizers fail like this often, just stop working? I opened it up and checked all of the connectors, nothing loose. I got such a good deal that getting a new digitizer for it is still an option, I just want to make sure that that's what the problem is.

Any help is greatly appreciated,

Dale.
