FOUND SOLUTION TO DOWNGRADE 2.2 w HBOOT 093 to stock 2.1 HBOOT .083

Ok I am no expert but I found a simple solution.

I am new to these boards and I am even new to the Android platform. I just love technology and in my spare time try to hack into all my gadgets.

I have three files that you need to download.

Update.zip is to be downloaded to you SD Card.

The other two zip file you need to extract somewhere you can easily find.

These files are .img files you will need to flash onto your HTC Desire using unrevoked.

Step 1.

Flash the misc.img

Step 2.

Flash the recovery-RA-desire-v1.7.0.1-R5.1.img file. The HTC Desire will cycle through rooting process and your phone will reboot in recovery mode that has a flashing option.

Step 3.

Scroll down and press the FLASH option. Select the update.zip file that you downloaded to your SD Card. IMPORTANT. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY OTHER FILE ON SD CARD called update.zip.

Step 4.

Once you flash the update.zip file just reboot the phone as normal. This process now allows you to install the factory ROM with desired HBOOT.

Step 5.

Unzip the HTC ROM Updater .exe and run the HTC program with your phone plugged in via USB. If you encounter any issues try unplugging the phone and reboot in bootloader and then plug phone back via usb make sure you have the phone on fastboot usb mode then run the HTC ROM Updater program.

I tried to upload the original ROM for my phone but file too big. Sorry.

I have the HTC Desire Telstra A8183 and I can only attest to this working on my phone. I hope that others have the same luck as I did.

Let me know how it goes. If you have any questions, I'm not an expert but certainly will respond. GOOD LUCK.

Worked brilliantly, was having so much pain trying to get from 0.93 debranded back to a Tmobile stock image.

Used this to 0.75, then stock TMOB image straight on top, easy!

Desire now off to T-Mobile for overheat repair!

Job done!
[Desire Android Development] albino71:
Also for me it worked perfectly! Tnx mate!

Desire was doing strange things and i wanted to go back to the way i bought it.

Now blazing fast on Stock Eclair including irritating bootsound :D
[Desire Android Development] EddyOS:
If you were doing it for warranty then all you needed to do was get the current ROM for your phone
[Desire Android Development] albino71:
I know, but first it's nice to know what is possible and second, i wanted to know again how Eclair was feeling. Quite good I must say.

I'm just completing the last OTA by the way.

So back on stock unrooted FroYo 2.29 :D

edit: oh, there's another update, 2.29.405.5

Gonna root it now and mod it here and there. Then make a nandroid, s-off, then restore...

:p
[Vibrant General] Shack544:
Any way to get back the data transfer arrows while using wifi? Maybe an app or method?
[Vibrant General] 12paq:
Tbosr were with 3g weren't tbey?
[Vibrant General] Shack544:
That's the situation. Leave the network for wifi and the data up/down indicator disappears. :( It's a small price to pay, but I sure would like a solution..

Anyone ??
[Desire General] 325i.:
On the modaco r9 rom I can't seem to change the boot animation. I have got the BIOS animation from xda and have pasted it into data/local.

But it does not change, it stays on the black screen with white android animation.
[Desire General] AndroHero:
try deleting the boot animation in /data/local/ and copying the new one to /system/customise/resource/
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ermacwins:
Is there a way to save the progress? I'm on World 5 with 3 Stars for all of them :cool:

Whenever I flash a different Rom I have to restart..... It doesn't save on memory card which is sad, so how can I backup the save file wherever its located?

I just wanted to try the new CM 6.1 RC1
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gieja:
I backuped the AB with titanium backup and when i changed the Rom (miui->kor) and restored it i had my all achievements.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ermacwins:
Thanks, trying now!!!!!!.

in Titanium backup do I tap AB then backup and thats it?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gieja:
I've backuped all my apps, then after changing to kor i tapped the AB to be restored
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ermacwins:
ok i just restored with option app+data and all working fine. Thanks

It wont work if its installed from market will it?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gieja:
You ment if you DL it from the market after changing ROM? I don't thinks so...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxt:
It will still work if you installed from market or not.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vzontini:
If you need to save/restore things manually it's not too difficult if you have some knowledge of adb and think of it before you wipe (or if you have a Nandroid backup).

Here is how I've done it before. This is from memory so please forgive if you have to think a bit to follow along. I don't think everyones setup is /data/data it might be just /data.

You can use this or similar to check the path:

adb devices (verify it sees your device and to start daemon)

adb shell

adb busybox ls /data/data/com.rovio/angrybirds/files

Before you go to the new ROM.

boot to amonra recovery

go to mount section

mount /data

mount /sdcard

connect USB cable

adb devices

adb pull /data/data/com.rovio.angrybirds/files/highscores.lua

adb pull /data/data/com.rovio.angrybirds/files/settings.lua

unmount /data

unmont /sdcard

Update your ROM to whatever and reinstall Angry Birds then:

boot to recovery again

mount /data

mount /sdcard

connect USB cable

adb devices

adb push highscores.lua /data/data/com.rovio.angrybirds/

adb push settings.lua /data/data/com.rovio.angrybirds/

unmount /data

unmount /sdcard

reboot

If you forgot to save before you wiped, but you have a nandroid backup you can copy the nandroid backup folder to your computer and use "unyaffs" for your computer type to unpack the data.img file. Then navigate to the folder to copy your highscores.lua and settings.lua to the folder with adb.

Here is a download link to a Windows version of unyaffs.exe that you can use in Cygwin
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhantomRampage:
Yeah do all that ^

OR, you know, just use titanium backup -.-
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OrganizedFellow:
+1 for Titanium Backup.

If you are going to be playing with your phone ALOT, flash new ROMs, and stuff like that, then invest the few dollars and get Titanium Backup.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vzontini:
Let's see - Titanium Backup was already suggested, so adding more posts saying use it adds zero value to the thread. If someone didn't have Titanium Backup then my information could be useful, so it does add value to the thread. Why knock it?

On the other hand, I agree completely that if you are going to play with ROM's, buy Titanium Backup - it's a big time saver.
[Epic 4G Themes] raiderep:
I remembered doing this on my samsung moment and thought I'd try it on Epic and it works for fonts, maybe we can figure out how to do themes as well in the future.

Here is a link to the original thread by Stericson: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=591329 about the app called MetaMorph for more detail, the general idea is to have theme/font files on the sdcard and the app will install them for you with a reboot to complete the process.

Here is a .zip to try it with: MyFonts

note: I have only tried 3 of these and one was a bit too large. This won't hurt your phone it just won't look right. The stock font is in it for restoring if you wish to.

Stick the .zip on your sdcard

Download MetaMorph from the market(both free and donate versions available)

When you first start the app it will do a system check and if you don't have busybox installed it will tell you. If it says you don't there are free/donate verisons on the market as well so go grab it and install it. I installed it with the default settings.

Now open MetaMorph again and after the checks select Unzip/Extract new theme. None will show but thats ok, hit the blue arrow on the bottom. Now scroll to MyFonts.zip and select it. After it extracts you will see a screen describing the details, hit close. You will see a list of fonts now that all begin with SubTheme:

Select the one you want to apply and then hit Apply it! and Continue? It will then ask you to reboot but that isn't working for our phone so just hit no and do a manual reboot.

After the reboot your font will be applied.

The pick existing theme function shows the fonts but they all show as empty for some reason. No worries, use the Unzip/Extract option and either update/replace option and they will show again. Not sure why you have to extract them every time but it still works this way.

You can add and delete fonts from the sample I provided if you are adventurous. Just unzip it and take a peek at the structure inside as well as the xml control file.

Just thought I'd share this for those who are lazy like me yet always trying to change the look of there phone throughout the day...or am I the only one that does this?

If anyone knows how to use this more properly or anything I've missed I will update this post, thanks.
[Epic 4G Themes] JungleJiujitsu:
Good looking out, just changed my fonts to the cartoon option and its awesome!!

PS - Anyone know if were getting VLC anytime soon?

....EDITED:Can you provide us with samples of the different styles you have included in the zip so we don't have to go through each one, please? TIA
[Epic 4G Themes] raiderep:
Good idea, I'm too busy today but tonight I'll see what I can do. If anyone else has the time I would appreciate the help. You can simply unzip the file and inside you will see all the different fonts by name. When you open one up you will see two ttf files, one is bold and one is standard. Click on the ttf file and it will show a preview.

No idea what VLC is...
[Epic 4G Themes] SemiGamer:
Here you go, theres 22 of them so I'm just going to post the link to the album, if you want me to post each individual picture than I will, but I think that would be way too many photos and too cluttered, specially at 800x800 res like they are lol.

Samples Of Each Font

I only got the Standard versions of each one, the Bold versions are no different other than they are, well, in bold lol.
[Epic 4G Themes] JungleJiujitsu:
Good deal!!! This makes is much easier now to pick and choose the font we wanna install, thanks again, to the both of you!

[Epic 4G Themes] hugo87:
+1 I would like this also.
[Epic 4G Themes] OperationMove:
Very nice! My personal opinion the "Russel Squared" font looks the most "Android-ish" if you will. Of course thats just my opinion. Also it fits very nicely, looks good in the app drawer, messaging, etc.

Anyways way to make it easy for the noobs. I personally always extract the zip first, and use "Pick existing theme" then find the XML of the theme. That way I dont have a zipped and non zipped sitting on my SD. Its a little tiny file I know I'm just anal :cool:

In any case though you made it simple for all of us to add some more variety to our themes with utmost simplicity :D Thanx!
[Epic 4G Themes] ericizzy1:
wow, works very good, thank you
[Epic 4G Themes] thatjenngirl:
Is there a way to add our own fonts?

thanx.
[Epic 4G Themes] NeeceeBabe:
Just Love it!!!:D
[Epic 4G Themes] yogi2010:
nope, you're not the only one..... this is exactly what i was looking for. the only thing is, the app goes thru the whole process, but when i reboot, the font isn't chnged. :confused: not a hige deal, but i would like to see what these fonts look like on my phone.
[Epic 4G Themes] dreamsforgotten:
Raider I changed the fonts in a theme and it killed the rom because it looked for the details loaded into the ttf to match the name of the file. Example is if I found a font I like and on the phone it's androidsansserrif and I just rename *.ttf the fonts description was still the original fonts name and therefore the phone would stop. Does this method bypass having to use a font creator to change the description or did you have to change that for all of them. I'm running dk28 dont know if you are or not
[Epic 4G Themes] dreamsforgotten:
I wanted to be able to get the themers to use mm as well, so I been experimenting with it and there are a few limitations that are a killer.

500 file write max. Most in depth themes will be two or 3 separate flashes .

framework has to be last because it causes a reboot and sometimes takes 2-3 flashes to take everything

On top of that, we have technically two frameworks. We would be doing a lot of support in our threads. Also it can't theme market apps it claims, I hope it can, cause that would still add an update zip for all of them.

I wanted to get stericson and some of us themers to work together on getting some of these hurtles behind us.
[Epic 4G Themes] pipskicks:
I seem to remember on the Hero this not being superior to any ROM cooker/themer changing the update.zip b/c of lots of FC's. I *thought* this was better for stock users but I don't know, I remember themers changing fonts through other methods though...
[Epic 4G Themes] dreamsforgotten:
It actually work wonders for small flashes, either fonts or just a few pictures. Its also easier for testing an image and you have to keep flashing over and over. As far as fcs and all the only problems I get are errors in my code. It's entire themes that give it hell .
[Epic 4G Themes] raiderep:
I haven't tried this since DI18 but I'm sure it will still work. As for adding your own, unzip the sample file I included and look at the format for each one. I'm sure you could just add your own by making it follow the same format. I have never used a font creator, does that make them the proper file type and name them for you, or even re-size them?

As for using this for theming I still think this would be awesome, we could do our battery mods and power menu mods for stock and then theme it after. This would eliminate the issues with having to add images while decompiled which still gives me fits. Those .9pngs being changed during decompiling is still something I don't comprehend....but I'm not as advanced as some around here...just a hobby when I have spare time.
[Epic 4G Themes] dreamsforgotten:
As far as the font creator in noticed this with dk28. On windows when you right click on a ttf file it shows you a description. On the stock android fonts, it matches the name of the font file. When I flashed a font from a website, it wouldn't boot. A log cat showed now the os reads the description to call the font so if it dont match it thinks there is no font. The program allows you to edit that description. it also allows you to resize, yes.

Now with apk manager and the battery as percent, when you decompile an apk you can't change any images .9 or not. Some battery as percent mods adds the image that would replace the stock battery png with the letter b behind them and call that image in the xml. Others calls them normal, you copy the images in without over writing anything, then once compiled you over write the stock ones in the hdpi folder. The neat short cut with apk manager is it decompiles .9 images and recompiles them too do in your project folder you grab a.9 decompiled, edit in gimp, then recompile then skipping draw 9 patch cause the guide lines are already there. All my custom images get adds in after a compile, I only ever compile just the stock ones.
[Epic 4G Themes] lazyart:
I'm giving this a bump because I see a lot of theming that's looks great but I often just want a font. I installed MetaMorph from the Market and checked out the fonts in the OP. Not quite want I wanted, but it was a nice change.

Then I found this thread on the HTC Hero board: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=674434 and with a little doing, was able to take fonts from there, add in the necessary .xml file to make them readable in MetaMorph and now I've got a font that I'm happy with.
[Epic 4G Themes] usagi111:
Jus tried to do this while on Syndicate's "Frozen" ROM, MetaMorph indicated that busybox wasn't installed and instructed me to get it from the market, so then I downloaded "Busybox Installer" from market...it found a newer version (1.18?) on there already and couldn't install it again or anything... :-( Dang, I really wanted to try this...I've always been picky about fonts on my phone and I couldn't do it with FlipFont...*sigh*
[Epic 4G Themes] KevinACrider:
I've got this installed and working, I just need a nice font. Nothing in the .zip in the OP really does it for me. I'd love to have a thin Helvetica-ish font, something like the font in this screenshot:
[Epic 4G Themes] decalex:
This XDA thread fontastical and full of awesome: 300 Flashable Font Packs

Check the first page and the last handful of pages for fonts that haven't been added to OP yet.

Here's a cool Sans Serif I posted a few minutes ago too: FontPack-TinBirdhouse_E2.zip

I usually just snatch the fonts out of the zips (they have Edify as well) and push to my phone with a little batch file. I'll try metamorph one of these days.
[Epic 4G Themes] MysteryEmotionz:

Time Cut off after changing font

[Epic 4G Themes] Ultro:
Font is too big, methinks. I flashed about 20 a few months back. Some of them removed long press characters from the keyboards, and others, such as the one you showed, are too big for the notification bar. My notification bar would sometimes read:

Wi-Fi Blueto GPS Vibrat 4G

####oth #####ion

# = spaces

^^ All because the font was a little too big :c

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] uncleswoop:
yeah, usually its the wannabe developers that flash "for the first time and hate it." I think its because you guys expect a whole new and improved system that has "everything you want."

Hi guys,

Ive had a quick search and couldnt find this question asked anywhere but appologies if it has.

Ive passed on my Nexus One to my girlfriend who currently has no data plan but can send\receive MMS messages. Data works fine, but as she doesn't have it on her plan, the bill is going to mount up very quickly with minimal data usage.

is there a way to disable data services on the phone and only allow traffic for MMS?

Ive tried removing the port for data in the APN but then nothing at all works. Also tried changing the APN type from "default,mms" to "mms" but with the same result.

any pointers would be much appreciated :)
