[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
I successfully downgraded my rooted/S-OFF'd phone to an earlier ROM last night. I simply followed this method - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=832503

I'm of the firm belief that this is the onyl way to do it if you are at S-OFF. If you have S-OFF, then flashing an older RUU will probably brick your phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] buzmay:
Well yesterday I perm root and s-off my european Desire Z with World/Euro generic 1.34.405.5. Somehow everything went bad after flashing recovery mode, so I decided to unroot it and bring it back to original settings.

I found there are 2 methods, one is to run the original ruu, and the other one was to copy the exact World/Euro generic 1.34.405.5 PC10img.zip to the root of my sd card.

Then entered to bootloader, and the phone recognize the archive, I simply apply it, and now I am back again to original stock.

However now I tried again and I am happily root, and S-Off following the amazing gtrab guide (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=835777)
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
That's the thing I keep saying though, flashing the original RUU worked for you because you weren't trying to downgrade the ROM, it was the same version that you already had on (just S-OFF etc). If you had a later version on your phone (e.g. via an OTA update) and were trying to flash to an earlier one, you would have bricked it trying the straight RUU method.
[G2 and Desire Z General] DanWilson:
So what should be done is download and install an RUU - say 1.234.987, so you're on 1.234.987 - then root / S-OFF / custom ROM the phone. If anything goes wrong, reinstall the 1.234.987 RUU.

By the way - that's a fake RUU ;)
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
During that process, if the stock HBOOT/recovery that is installed by that RUU decides that what you're trying to flash is "older" than your custom ROM, you're screwed though. That's why the "debranding" guide has extra steps in it, i.e. gold card and editing the misc partition.
[G2 and Desire Z General] DanWilson:
I hate HTC.

Love the phones, love the Sense, hate the security.

Why not give us a command like the N1? WHY!?

So you should backup the system partition before S-OFF and so on? Like so a dd? (Following on from previous post)
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
The system partition isn't changed in S-OFF, that's the boot partition (just allows writing to the system partition).

The gold card and editing of the misc partition should work fine, as per this thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=832503

It worked for me last night to flash to an older stock ROM (which also gave me S-ON again, removing my S-OFF).
[G2 and Desire Z General] DanWilson:
Cool. Confused. I believe you though.

But you are saying just to make a gold card, and edit the misc partition?

Nice :cool:
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
Following that guide that I linked worked for me. Yes, I turned my SD card into a gold card and edited the misc partition. Then it is fooled into thinking you're restoring a ROM of the same version that it already is running, so it lets you do it.

Actually, I do wonder whether both steps are necessary (i.e. gold card *and* editing misc), because I thought the whole point of the gold card was that it avoided those checks, so perhaps you can do one or the other ? I am only thinking out loud here, and may well be missing something, so I don't suggest trying it other than as in that guide.
[G2 and Desire Z General] DanWilson:
I'd always do both just incase.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Lennyuk:
yes to flash an OLDER RUU this is the only method, however if you are flashing a NEWER RUU then you can simply just run the exe.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Stea1thmode:
The attached thumbnail has my cuurent details, pls see below.

If for any reason I wish to return to stock can I flash this;

[RUU] RUU_Vision_HTC_WWE_1.34.405.5_Radio_12.28b.60.140e _26.03.02.26_M

found here;

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=822908

Thanks, just wanted to double check:)

My phone is unbranded, rooted and s off.
[G2 and Desire Z General] gtrab:
Aye you're right, I used a Goldcard only, I didn't need to edit misc img to "downgrade" (debrand) from Bell 1.34.666.5 to generic 1.34.405.5

BTW I repent I didn't make a Bell backup myself :(

1.- I'd like to test / play with the Bell radio.img (I have the impression I had better reception with the Bell radio, but I can't confirm)

2.- And I think I could prepare a "go back" package if I only had saved my boot.img and system.img...
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
Yes, that should be safe, because that would be flashing the same version as you already have. It's if you're S-OFF and you're trying to flash an older RUU that you'll hit problems.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Stea1thmode:
Cheers, it good to know.

Thanks very much for the answer.
[Desire HD General] thelucius:
On my new DHD I have a list of people that I've set as part of the Favorites group. The problem is that one of the people even after edit, and when I change the group to None, it still stays Favorites in his group list.

I can not remove the Favorites group from this contact no matter what I do, Favorites is always his group, although when I click on edit, it says None in the group list. Anyone with such issue? Any idea on how to fix this?
[Desire HD General] deechte:
I've had this problem too.

Go into the start menu, open Contacts, go to the groups tab > favorites > menu > remove member.

I don't know if the translation is 100% accurate, my device is dutch.
[Desire HD General] thelucius:
Thanks man. That helped :)

[HD2 General] tizocalamilla:
ok so i go thru the procces of getting to the bootloader screen no problem... after the colored screen comes up it goes to the white page with "loading..." at the top... this is were my problem comes in... it quickly reverts back to the colored screen as if the loading failed. can anyone help me get to the bootloader screen?
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
The colored screen IS bootloader...what are you trying todo?
[HD2 General] gyolai:
Take the sim card out. I had the same problem
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
do you have a leoimg.nbh on your sd card?, cos thats usually why it jumps to the loading screen, however is the card the stock 16gb card? cos if so they dont work for flashing. Use a 4gb or smaller. (some 8gb work, too, but not all)

[Touch Cruise General] snoopnico:
Hi all,

I'm here with a pretty annoying problem, my Touch Cruise is blocked on the boot screen (the one where we can see the different ROM versions).

I was planning a hard reset, but didn't had the time to make a backup of the data on it. (To be more precise, I had the time to backup the SMS in "my documents" folder, but it stalled when I wanted to copy the backup to the sd...)

Is there any way to copy files from internal memory to SD card, before doing the hard reset ?

I will be forever grateful to anyone who will be able to help me to get my files back :-p
[Touch Cruise General] p7m5u2:
Hi,

I also have this proble. If I want make hard reset of the phone. The phone nothing do.

Sorry for my english
[Touch Cruise General] demek:
i have same problem but i dont care about data, i have backup.

i put http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=554071 that rom, all was ok, then i start restoring my contacts, msgs from backup and then device reset itself and i have info :

the device is unable to boot because either you have turned off the device incorrectly or tried to install an application from untrasted source . press send to reset your device or press any other button to cancel. this operation will delete all your personal data and restore the device to its factory defaults

what i can do now?
[Touch Cruise General] Hakim Rahman:
Use ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center to transfer files between your storage card and computer. After the procedure, copy your files back to the storage card...;);) if you want to hard reset the device follow the procedure as below : To perform a hard reset

1. Press and hold the GPS/MESSAGING and INTERNET EXPLORER buttons, and at the same time, use the stylus to press the RESET button at the bottom of your device.

2. Release the RESET button, but continue pressing the GPS/MESSAGING and INTERNET EXPLORER buttons until you see this message on the screen:

Release the buttons, and then press SEND on your device to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.

Sorry for the delay, I wasn't following this thread..

Using Active Sync wasn't an option, as the phone didn't even boot... I finally choosed the hard reset..

I just flashed MIUI's new 11.26 ROM and it's running like a beast. After install I can already feel the phone is more responsive then the previous build. Once I get everything set up I'll give a more in depth review. I'll try to post some screenshots and shed some light on new features and themes as well.

Angy Birds on MIUI

Great work!!!

Very smooth and responsive ROM.

Only bug I've encountered is when I created a game folder on my desktop for my games.

I put Angry Birds and Angry Birds Seasons, both into the game folder and when I tried to access them MIUI kept force closing and wouldn't let me access or delete the newly created game folder.

I'm guessing it's because they (ANGRY BIRDS and ANGY BIRDS SEASONS) both have the same names.

Uninstalled Angry Birds and that seemed to do the trick, I was able to access my game folder once again.

Reinstalled Angry Birds and placed the two games in separate folders.

Prob solved.

Hope this helps anyone else having this issue as I lost all my AngryBird SCORES!(GASP!:eek:)

Love this ROM...
[Motorola Droid Android Development] viol8tor:
I installed new version over the old one and didn't have to wipe, it kept all my settings as they were before. Go for it buddy...

[Motorola Droid Android Development] Omen87:
I had the exact same thing happen to me. :( Oh well, hehe.

Does anyone know if there is a way to turn off the emoticons in messaging? It replaces parts of words that are set to be an emotion. Like the word "no" is replaced with a thumbs down icon, even if it is say part of the word "not."
[Motorola Droid Android Development] Omen87:
Well never mind. 12.3.2 took care of the emoticons. Now can anyone tell me why the times in my message log are six hours behind? But only on received messages...
[Motorola Droid Android Development] jamezelle:
thats a know issue right now.

I'm absolutely loving this rom. Thought I'd post one small bug I found: going into messaging, long-pressing on a text message and hitting "details" seems to cause the messaging app to FC.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] BatterseaPS:
I have my wife's Droid running Ultimate Droid right now, and want to try out MIUI. I have 2 questions I hope I can find some help with:

1. Should I flash a different kernel? Which do you recommend? As it is, the phone is getting a little sluggish, and I'm looking for ways to speed it up.

2. Any way to keep program data between ROMs? I guess I'm mainly thinking about Angry Birds :p I have bunch of 3 stars I don't want to lose.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] jamezelle:
1. I recommend p3droid kernels

2. You can use titanium backup free from the market for root users, to backup data.

updated OP with 0.12.11.0 release
[Motorola Droid Android Development] canyoufindben:
Is anyone else having issues with updating Google branded apps like Gmail, Car Home, and Voice Search? Mine tell me failed install everytime. I've cleared cache, cleared cache on Market app, Formatted Data and Cache for fresh install. Nothing I've tried seems to make the updates work.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] P-Droid77:
He is referring to the fact that you cant just flash the update as a standalone ROM. You need to flash the ROM then flash the update over it. The update is solely that..a .zip that contains the updates to the ROM. It will not operate on its own.

Correct me if im wrong Jamzelle.....;)
[Motorola Droid Android Development] chris6551:
Yes I'm having issues with updates as well. Mainly the gmail, voice search.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] loveubuntu:
First the issues: (edit: chatted with jamezelle on IRC, it appears that both of these issues are resolved in 12.17 version coming out soon)

under 0.12.11.0 on Droid 1, fresh install using ROM manager and wiping everything:

1- Do not see my paid protected apps as "purchased". I bought Slingplayer for $30 and can't re-download it. Search does not bring it up either. I used Titanium Backup to re-install it but it would be nice for this to get fixed. The IRC guys told me it was a build.prop issue and the developer was not there to answer. I am about to install the new market and will test to see if it re-appears. The other purchased apps do show up (TiBu, ROM manager, SET CPU, ya, I pay for them to support the developer)

2- menu > editing mode > menu (again) > add > shortcut will not allow me to add any direct dial or for that matter almost anything from that menu. I love to have icons on a screen with a picture to be used as a speed dial. So it's a pretty major thing for me.

Now a tip:

The new market can be installed using:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9877688&postcount=422

works perfect under MIUI 0.12.11.0. I used ROM manager and "installed ROM from SD card" without wiping cache and data. New market look is sick.

Finally the praise:

I'm addicted to changing the ROMs on my D1. Not a developer but enjoy testing new things. I was about to upgrade my phone but no need since I try a new ROM every day. My D1 feels worse than a cheap prostitute :)

I have tried them all and love a bunch of them (CM, Chevy1, Ultimate Droid, Liquid, and Lithium are my other favorites). However, the point of changing to a new ROM, IMHO, is to have a different look. I appreciate the minimalists' view and the need to keep things simple. I know you can add themes to those other ROMs. But I need my D1 to stand out if I'm going to go through all of this and this ROM truly captures that essence. The fact that you can download themes into the theme folder of SD and then install it within the ROM is priceless. Hate to give you ideas, but I'd pay for this if I had to.

Thank you and keep up the good work. Now time to change my ROM.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] kimbrian88:
I've installed this ROM and it is amazing.

*I do have a question for the DEV though*

I installed the 12.11.10 one through ROM Manager and It's great. Except for the fact that there is no ALARM or DESK CRADLE?

How would I get that back? Even trying to install an alarm clock from the market there's no deskclock or something so it just forcecloses. Hope you can solve this for me. Thanks.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] swallisa:
Did you look in the folder on your home screen titled Tools should be there has always been in the past. If it's not there try re-downloading and flash again might have a corrupt file.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] rguidry:
The best rom by far. Signal powerhouse

I have tried and tested just about every rom I can get my hand on. The two things I was looking for are signal and battery life. This rom delivers in spades. The window dressing is great, but there is some magic behind the pretty face. I work in a building that I would swear was made of lead. As soon as I step in the front door my signal drops to half, and at 50 feet in I have no signal at all. With this rom I walk in the building the signal drops one bar. 50 feet in it drops anoughter bar. Dead center of the building I still have 2 bar. I have to also add I am the only one in the building that has any kind of a signal. Over 200 personel and one one cell phone works. I also have Verizon. But there are people in there that also have Verizon and so called better phones like the Evo and the Droid 2, but I am the only one walking around sporting between 2 and 3 bars all the time regaurdless of location. My batter also last all day. The most is would last before was maybe lunch or 1 pm, now it last untill I get home and still runs for a few hours. I think this is due to the fact my phone is not trying to get a signal all the time so it can just sit there and rest, like a good little phone should, wait for its master to pet it, not constantly seaching for food (signal lol) anyway this is by far the greatest rom I have tested, great work, my hat is off.

[Motorola Droid Android Development] Abrasher:
For what it is worth...

I love the work that has been done, and continues to be done, with MIUI ROM. This is easily the BEST ANDROID ROM in creation. I would know, I have used 8 different android devices and rooted/re-romed them all multiple times. That said, this version seems to be a bit broken. Force closes, broke wifi tether in this release, sync issues just to name a few. I am not trying to give a log as I am sure they are aware of the issues. Just a word of caution for those wanting to install this release. Stick with the previous release, that one works like a champ.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] Abrasher:
Bugs thus far

Killed WIFI TETHER

Force closes on MIUI Gallery

Slowed roughly 15% (sliggish)

Controls on Lockscreen still ignore pandora and activate built in music app.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] jamezelle:
miui gallery is still beta.....wifi tether works fine. use the free app from the market....

actually this is faster then the last 3 builds....the lockscreen controls were not meant to control pandora, they are meant to control the miui music app.
