help!

Hi i need to return my phone to htc due to a problem, anyway i have a custom froyo rom with hboot 0.93 and i want to make it back to stock tmobile android 2.1 with hboot 0.80.

i understand teppics tool allows me to go back to hboot 0.83 however WILL

RUU_Bravo_TMO_UK_1.21.110.4_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127570_signed

WHICH is hboot 0.80 get flashed on the phone?? if not, how can i downgrade to hboot 0.80 as tmobile dont have a ruu that has a hboot of 0.83
[Desire General] refnulf:
massive problems!

My phone was initially HBOOT .80 and I tried this little fix because I wanted to be able to return to stock 2.1. For some reason factory resets never worked for me because they'd just keep replaying the HTC 'quietly brilliant' screen. I thought it was a radio error and I tried to get the right radio working but i was unsuccessful.

For some reason my windows also kept giving me lame 'application in process' errors as well. Now initially this fix seemed to work fine. There were no errors. But then it was just stuck at the HTC bootscreen. My bootloader however found itself updated to 0.83

I tried running the update again from bootloader and i got a radio_v2 FAIL-PU error. After that, it said radio_cust updating and it's stuck. I'm having to remove the battery and pray to every deity concievable so that my phone isn't bricked.

So, essentially, what do i do now?
[Desire General] raid76:
please is this utility work with wildfire (buzz) if i change the (PB99IMG.zip) with my official rom 2.1????
[Desire General] raid76:
please i need your answer???

is this tool will work with htc wildfire buzz with froyo and hboot : 1.10.001 when i change the (PB99IMG.zip) in your utility with my official rom for wildfire and give it the same name??
[Desire General] broedschroed:
Hi, sorry, I don't understand what you did exactly. I'm very desperated about my following problem, which seams to be the same like yours:

I rooted many Desires the last Weeks, all of them HBOOT 0.93.0001, PVT4 and 20000er. All goldcarding, downgrading and rooting worked fine.

Now I have following Desire:

BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-ON

HBOOT-0.93.0001

MICROP-051d

TOUCH PANEL-SYNW0101

RADIO-5.11.05.27

Aug 10 2010, 17:52:18

with Erasesize 40000

- The Downgrade-Script displays no errors

- When installing the PB99IMG (the one of downgrade-script), I got a "radio_v2 FAIL-PU error", and HBOOT bypassed.

After that, I have to load a stock-IMG to get the device running. But I'm still at the point of beginning.

Unrevoking also doesn't work with this device - it hangs at the beginning when pushing the recovery.

Now, after googling for 5 hours, i put my desperate question here...Thanks for ervery answer :)
[Desire General] raidaaa:

[Desire General] alienhunt:
hey guys, I am trying to downgrade/root my girlfriend's Wildfire (unbranded, bought in Hong Kong) from 2.2.1 to 2.1 via this downgrade script. I am running into an issue and was wondering if someone could help. Let me first explain and attach the image to the post.

It gets all the way to the part where it will reboot into the bootloader, except it never reboots because it says the device can't be found. When I reboot it on my own into the bootloader, the image isn't found, yet when I connect as a Disk Drive, the zip file is located on my SD card's main dir like it should be (as pushed by the script). Ideas??? She's bugging me to get CM7 on her phone ever since she saw how easily I did it with my phone (Desire GSM) and how beautiful 2.3.3 is (as an aside, I forgot to backup her contacts to her SD card, so now I HAVE to do this so it wasn't in vain, haha).

Can't get beyond Hboot after downgrade

OK, I'm not a noob but neither am I an expert and I have now got myself into a terrible pickle.

After running this tool, I have now unrooted and S-Ond my device so that HBOOT shows:

Bravo PVT1 SHIP S-ON

HBOOT-0.930001

However, I cannot load RECOVERY from HBOOT and neither can I boot into the ROM. I ahve tried both flash methods to put on a stock rom with the same radio as reported by my HBOOT,

RUU works successfully in flashing.

PB99IMG unpacks with all OK and completes the update.

But on reboot, I get stuck at the splash screen (white screen with green HTC logo) which then bootloops about every 90 seconds. I cannot select Recovery. I can select Bootloader and perform some basic Fastboot commands, but now I am S-On again, I cannot even reflash a new recovery.

I cannot ADB into the machine so can't re-root using unrevoked or any other method I've seen here to gain root back to try and do stuff again

At the moment I have a very expensive lump of useless electronics and have spent a huge amount of time researching (including most of this thread) to try and find a solution. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I attach an output of fastboot diagnostic in the hope that will help.

Edit : problem solved

used the PB99IMG.zip placed it on other sd card(not gold card) then from HBOOT updated that is downgraded by myself as this Desire was factory S-off...

but thanks anyways...

Hi Teppic! Do you think there is a chance to update this tool to downgrade Desire from official Gingerbread to Froyo? I was fool enough to install official RUU and now I lost root, s-off, everything. I'm stuck with a stock phone, no memory for programs, miss my custom cm7 rom :(.

Do you mean your screen is dead? Have you tried this yet?
[Desire General] name.vic:
Yes. ANd yes, i got error 131 Customer ID error
[Desire General] ZaLiTHkA:
Hmm... Ok, two ideas here:

1: Goldcard

If you have one, put it in your device and try flash the stock RUU again. This is probably the easiest method for getting around CID errors.

If you don't have one yet, you can create one with this guide.

2: Downgrader HBOOT

From the Alpharev website, download the 'downgrader' HBOOT, make sure it's named PB99IMG.zip (name is case sensitive), copy it to the root of your SD card, and boot your phone into bootloader.

When you load the bootloader, obviously you won't be able to see what you're doing, but here's a basic idea of how to do it blind:

Load bootload: hold volume down and press power

Wait approx 30 seconds

Press volume up

once

, this selects to install the HBOOT

If this either confuses you or doesn't seem to work, try use the command prompt method explained on the Alpharev website (below the HBOOT table).
[Desire General] name.vic:
Can i use GoldCardTool_0.0.5 ? I already created with this tool goldcard

Via fast boot i got
[Desire General] ZaLiTHkA:
Yeah, that should be fine. Perhaps try insert the goldcard you created, and then run the RUU again. That should in theory get around the CID error (131).

I'm honestly not sure what that error from the fastboot command means though, so I can't really help there.. :(
[Desire General] dj_aleks:
Never mind my post, got it to work finally!

But a question then! I ran into a big problem when trying to unroot my Desire, the RUU i ran, ended up in an ERROR 152, will running the downgrader fix this issue or do i need another approach?
[Desire General] Rastaman-FB:
Teppic, does this support the newer pvt4 40000 devices? the reason i ask is becuase this downgrades to a rom prior to the new nand layouts of these devices.

We have a situation on android forums where they ran the downgrade util and ended up with the 4 triangles of death
[Desire General] CitizenLee:
I just tried this to downgrade my friends Desire but after following all steps including GoldCard unfortunately it didn't work.

At first it said

rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin No such directory could be found

It then ran through the rest of the steps successfully but at the end it said

Testing Access: FAILED

I then checked the GoldCard was ok and tried to run the downgrade but got the same errors.

What would be the best thing to try now? Here are the phone details:

It has CWM recovery on it but I think that might be from when he tried Unrevoked or another method (he's tried to root it a few times unsuccessfully).

The goal is to downgrade, root and S-OFF so he can try out some custom GB ROMs.

Cheers,

[Desire General] danarama:
If he has cwm he can already flash Roms
[Desire General] CitizenLee:
What about it still being S-ON though?

Thanks ;)
[Desire General] andQlimax:
u only need http://revolutionary.io (read the documentation for how to), u dont need downgrade

revolutionary will s-off ur phone and install cwm, after that u can flash every rom u want

by the way, even with s-on u can flash rom if u have root and cwm..s-off is full root and allow to write on /system while the phone is booted and other adavanced things
[Desire General] CitizenLee:
Thanks, I'll give that a try next time I see him (he's off on holiday for two weeks from tomorrow).

I know the difference between S-OFF / S-ON myself, as I have a rooted & S-OFF'd Desire HD (see sig), the only thing I was unsure of on the standard Desire was how to downgrade HBOOT-0.93 as all the methods I tried got stuck somewhere. Hopefully the Revolutionary method with work though ;)

[Desire General] Ravrahn:
I've had a rather major issue - looked through the first 30 pages or so, but I couldn't find a fix.

Here is the text from the flashing process:

Parsing...[SD ZIP]
[1] BOOT - OK
[2] BOOTLOADER - Bypassed
[3] RADIO_V2 - Fail-PU
[4] RADIO_CUST - OK
[5] RECOVERY - OK
[6] SPLASH1 - OK
[7] SYSTEM - OK
[8] USERDATA - OK
Partition update fail!
Update fail!
Do you want to reboot device?

So the bootloader bypassed and the radio_v2 failed updating... Now I'm stuck with just the splashscreen if I try to boot (the splashscreen has changed, though). I can't flash my RUU, I spent a few hours last night fixing my Windows partition and when I tried the RUU this morning it kept giving an "Error: Device not found" (I'm fairly sure that's because I can't boot my phone). I'm on HBOOT-0.93.0001, RADIO-5.11.05.14, it's a Telstra Desire, had 2.2, and was SLCD. It's brand new and I don't want to have broken it on the first day - please help!

EDIT: OK, extracted the RUU image from the exe, and it works again. I think the problem arose in my Desire being a PVT4. So, let this be a warning - this won't work on PVT4 Desires!

Desire SLCD + 0.92 hboot + OTA 2.2

Hi everybody

really weird things!

I tried three times to downgrade with your utility, it seems to be successfull but when I look at the hboot version, it is still 0.92!!!, and nothing has been wiped out of my desire and rom version is also still 2.2

as many of us, I have the same error message:

"adb server is out of date. killing...

* daemon started successfully *

failed to copy '/dev/mtd/mtd0' to 'mtd0bak.img': Permission denied

Done.

If you saw any error here, press ctrl-c and try this utility again.

Appuyez sur une touche pour continuer..."

any solution?

and thank you for your work

As I said, you can ignore that particular error. It is harmless. Just continue with the process.

It's fixed in the new version I am uploading.

edit: new version uploaded.
[Desire General] Svennebannan:
First off a BIG thanks for your work!

When I enter the CID on the mtd0.img generator I get a "Please provide a valid cid like HTC__001" error.

The CID I get from your script is "HTC_Y13"

Should I ignore all this and just go with the mtd0.img that is already in the folder or use another CID?

Edit:

Ohh never mind, I have to use two "_"

So "HTC_Y13" is wrong but "HTC__Y13" is right :)
[Desire General] Subliminal10:
Very well done teppic74 works perfectly. Your a great guy :)
[Desire General] teppic74:
Yeah the CIDs are all 8 characters long so they will have as many underscores as necessary.
[Desire General] JosephMccann:
Hmm. I currently have a WWE OTA version of Froyo installed. I used the mtd0.img creator, and overwrited the file. The utility ran fine, no errors, but when I try to start the update, it says that PB99IMG.zip cannot be found (something similar anyway) and 4 lines of text come up. Any ideas?
[Desire General] teppic74:
Are you using the current version? You must make sure that the phone is set to charge only on USB connection. When the utility began it should confirm that the PB99IMG.zip file has transferred.
[Desire General] JosephMccann:
Yeah I am. The PB99IMG is definitely on the SD card because I took it out of the phone and put it into my pc, and I could see it in the contents of it the card. I'll try the utility again.
[Desire General] teppic74:
If the PB99IMG.zip is on the sdcard the phone should find it in hboot mode. If you have a problem again can you post the output from the utility as well as what happens on the phone.
[Desire General] hkfriends:
it seems i see this problem too, try using other SD card ( i switch from 16GB to 4GB working)
[Desire General] pcliveiii:
Done sucessfully !!!!!

i did it !! thanks teppic74 for ur best and safest downgrade for SLCD desire!!!!!

done twice with two new phones, the first was bricked :( then i followed all steps, and skipped the one with " failed to copy '/dev/mtd/mtd0' to 'mtd0bak.img': Permission denied "

screen returened to life again..

great job man >>>:D<<<
[Desire General] JosephMccann:
That's the output from the utility. Still receiving the same 4 lines of text as before failing to find PB99IMG.zip.
[Desire General] teppic74:
It looks like there's a problem with the phone accessing your sdcard in hboot. I'm not sure if there's any way to fix that other than to use a different sdcard.

Alternatively you can just flash the 2.1 RUU directly now, as the main part has completed.

I've tried both goldcards I've got. Both with the same error. I tried installing the RUU, but I got bootloader 140 error. Meh. My fault for installing the OTA update. Thanks for trying.
[Desire General] teppic74:
When you generated the mtd0.img file did you put the version I specified in? The flash looks ok, so you shouldn't be getting any errors. I'm unsure about the PB99IMG.zip problem - maybe something to do with the formatting or size of the sdcard.
