Help please

Hello everebody

my desire Hd gave me a big headache. I tried to downgrade but always the $ at the end. my build number= 2.36.405.8 is this build downgradable or not ?

Thank you

:mad:
[Desire HD Android Development] toiditimcc:
Thanks jkoljo!!!

I spent a week to try downgrading the DHD, success with your way.
[Desire HD Android Development] DotNetRules:
Hi jkoljo, I got another DHD :) and I plan to downgrade. To avoid the 2.37 nightmare in furture I would like your advice:

1. Is it best to avoid OTA if using a stock roms.

2. Is it best to perm root to be safe for the furture.

3. Is it best to ENG HBOOT and will that be a safeguard against HTC HBoot as I'm playing around with various roms.

I'm a little "Paranoid" and want to avoid all potential 2.37 issues with flashing.

Thanks :D
[Desire HD Android Development] tii09:
Ahhhh noooo you're right it is 2.37...

Damn... Well... so I gotta stuck with stock rom :/
[Desire HD Android Development] thenocturnalnurse:
Gotta have faith brudah! :D
[Desire HD Android Development] tii09:
I have. I just hope they're not gonna forget us cos the Desire HD is too old...
[Desire HD Android Development] tii09:
oh nooo guys !!!

2.36.207.16 is my version!!! Wohoo hope is back... help me to flash hahaha

Can anyone tell me what i could have done wrong?! I did really everything. Probably 10 times now.

And I aint a technical noob ... what shall I do now?
[Desire HD Android Development] thenocturnalnurse:
I agree and Sensation is already out there :confused:
[Desire HD Android Development] tii09:
damn. still not working.

i aint even getting an error or something...

just after typing adb shell it gives me $ ... cant go on then.

all commands i type in will be kinda ignored.
[Desire HD Android Development] tigrisimo:
already did it, but thanx because ppl like u we can root our phones!! thanx again

and good luck!!!
[Desire HD Android Development] CuBz90:
Any closer to 2.37 downgrade possibility?
[Desire HD Android Development] ianyt77:
At the moment only trying to get 'bluetooth voice dial' working on my DHD 2.3.7 everything else is satisfactory for my needs.

I need to be able to call and take calls through my ' Jabra Freeway' sunvisor handsfree speakerphone while driving.

Is there a solution available ?????

I would use other roms like 'Leedroid' s as he has BT Voice dial built-in.... but my GB version can't be rooted yet.... as I understand it ???

Is there a workaround just to get 'BT Voice Dial' useable, meantime.......
[Desire HD Android Development] evanbigfan:
not yet,i wanna root mine too :(
[Desire HD Android Development] evanbigfan:
any body tried this method ???

[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
It won't work.

2.37 downgrading, c.mmon guys sumbody do smthng.
[Desire HD Android Development] akshay_redhat:
cummon please ne one please hack it up.....m just dying to change my stock rom n overclock my processorr please guys dont forget us....v r still der.....:(
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
There are easily more than 50 devs working on it (and the number keeps growing), I bet that somebody will find a solution eventually.
[Desire HD Android Development] japazoid:
CID fail... again and again.

I'm trying to downgrade my DHD from 1.84 but having some problems with the Gold Card:

First I've tryed the method using the GoldCard Helper App from Android Market and got a CID incorrect! Update Fail!

Then I've tryed this method (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10438936&postcount=131), getting a new CID and submiting... but got the same result.

Any ideas?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Are you using mmc2 to get the CID?
[Desire HD Android Development] CuBz90:
Asking once is enough, don't need to keep asking when it will be downgradable, like he said, there are around 50 devs working on it, just sit back and be patient :) I am!

sendmsg() failed?

Hi,

I have 2.3.3 Kernel 2.6.35 Build/Software 2.36.161 Baseband 12.54.60.25U

and keep getting sendmsg() failed?

Already made 3 attempts. Should I keep trying as I saw recommended in some other posts or what can i do?

My version should be downgradable - right ?

Thanks !
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Let it work for a while, or do a factory reset and then try it again. Your version can be downgraded.
[Desire HD Android Development] loveact:
have you tried different microSD card?
[Desire HD Android Development] vicktor_1:
hi,i used a gold card and now i got this

[-] Bad luck. Fixed vold?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
You should not do the command line stuff again, just go to bootloader.
[Desire HD Android Development] vicktor_1:
Ok .. rebooted and loaded the PD98 img but said -

"Main version is older"

Update Fail

I will format my card again. I think this should fix it
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Okay if it said that, then you should run the command line commands again. Also take a screenshot, there is a mistake somewhere.. :)
[Desire HD Android Development] CuBz90:
Just out of curiosity, if you know...how close to possibility of downgrade from 2.37? Or is it not even close yet?
[Desire HD Android Development] vicktor_1:
Ok .. after formatting the sd card, applying gold card and like 3 restarts, i was able to get to # and now it is updating...:D

Thanks !
[Desire HD Android Development] zunairameer:
thanks a bunch

i dont know if this has been suggested

to make the downgrade process work on adb

most times it giives error

"adb server is out of date"

for this error uninstall usb drivers or update manually by downloading google usb drivers from android sdk (the stock htc usb drivers donot allow downgrade throught the cmd format)

took me about 4 hours to figure this out *im a noob*
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
That error does not matter, because it just restarts the adb bridge and all is fine. There is no need to do anything :)
[Desire HD Android Development] duytrum444:
my phone's software is 2.37...:(

how long time will it have root?? :(:(
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Seriously. Stop bugging devs with questions like that, nobody knows! I have said a million times that I will inform you guys asap when something interesting happens.

:cool:

Oh, and to fulfill that promise.. Hehe. Downgrading those builds is closer than you think :)

These few hours have been very interesting.. The development is going forwards in a very fast pace. Many attempts have been made to break the system, and it seems that the dev community has succeeded. There is no 100% sure confirmation yet though, so do not pop the champagne bottles yet. Still, as I said in a freenode irc channel; I would at least go and fetch the bottle opener if I were you.. ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] CuBz90:
Sounds promising :)

Please let us know as soon as you know anything :)
[Desire HD Android Development] venkig:
People seriously need to chill and stop bugging devs asking them ETAs for rooting 2.37. Cannot people let the dev work on it peacefully?

I am actually glad that 2.37 can be rooted sooner than I thought it would be possible. Anxiously waiting ... :)
[Desire HD Android Development] Andy:
Music to my ears, I've got $10 to throw at these guys.
[Desire HD Android Development] arcanemyth:
Now that's actually a great news jkoljo! :) $10 from me as well ... and a bottle of champagne for the entire dev group ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] duytrum444:
I'm sorry! because I'm a newbie ... I'm afraid all the plans for the 2:37 stops .. I just got it yesterday ... I apologize to you more (google translate)
[Desire HD Android Development] adkz:
I can downgrade my DHD soon then, I was just about to loose hope again for the second time when I just found this downgrade thread but not for those with build 2.37 lol

Custom rom!!! or anything better then this current stock one.
[Desire HD Android Development] hero000:
Sounds Promising! HTC did ya hear that :) Don't mess with these pro guys. :) lolz

Great job guys

Exact order of process

Hi guys,

I have tried to search this but cannot find the answer as it is probably SO obvious, my newb arse cant see the wood for the trees.

I have just received my new DHD from a warranty claim and it is v.1.84.110.3 and i need to d/grade it.

i believe i have correctly followed the goldcard method in th OP.

I just wanna get the order of the rest of the peocedure correct.

So i have my fresh GC, i place it in my phone......

Do i now write the PD98IMG to the /sdcard on top of the GC or do i put the GC in the phone and boot it and run the RUU first?? well confused and probably too scared to mess without knowing.

Thanks

:rolleyes:
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Just make the goldcard, and put PD98IMG.zip into it normally. You cannot really brick your phone using this guide.
[Desire HD Android Development] dugsoft:
Help help

Been reading through this for days now trying to find out where I'm going wrong, seems I can't get past the first step!

I have HTC sense installed but when I issue the commands in CMD, I get a response like this:

It's not pushing the files and I've tried this on two PC's now. Can anyone offer advice? Thanks.

To downgrade from 2.37...

Create a goldcard

Download and run this RUU - http://www.filefactory.com/file/cbf9...075_signed.exe

Follow the guide from jkoljo (2b not 2a)

NOT 100% CONFIRMED
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
To downgrade from anything... ;)

This is just a test. Users with 2.37 or higher, please try it!

Do section 1 first!

Section 2c [For Gingerbread ROMs, 2.37 or higher]

Then if you got #, pop a bottle of champagne and proceed to section 3 :)
[Desire HD Android Development] mattyhagar:
So why does it not work for me if I'm on 2.36 and this guide is for 2.37 or lower? Please help me out here, I'm desperate to get Revolution on my HD and get rid of this awful stock ROM!
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Factory reset your phone and try again.
[Desire HD Android Development] CuBz90:
cannot start fre3vo, no such file or directory

edit: got it cheers
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Sorry, forgot to upload the binary. I attached it in the original post :)
[Desire HD Android Development] CuBz90:
"This device does not support this exploit.

The exploit has failed"

I'll continue trying to downgrade using the SoftBank RUU
[Desire HD Android Development] duytrum444:
where's download folder?? use download folder in #1??

resolved

thank
[Desire HD Android Development] CuBz90:
Let me know how it goes for you
[Desire HD Android Development] CuBz90:
I keep getting Error 131 with SoftBank RUU...have created my goldcard and recreated it again incase it had gone wrong. Gna give it another try
[Desire HD Android Development] har0ld:
Same here. Will report back after a factory reset...
[Desire HD Android Development] CuBz90:
I was thinking that a factory reset wouldn't do any much greater, but if it works let me know :)
[Desire HD Android Development] har0ld:
Negative.

Dammit, Factory Resetted for nothing... oh well... :p
[Desire HD Android Development] CuBz90:
Just as I thought lol

Have you tried the SoftBank RUU ?
[Desire HD Android Development] har0ld:
Nah. Internet connection is epically slow... taking 3 hours to download the RUU.

Have you got the RUU yet?
[Desire HD Android Development] CuBz90:
Ye, but keep getting ID Error 131
[Desire HD Android Development] har0ld:
Can you post the method you are using?

I can attempt to be of some assistance as I am only going to try myself in 3 hours...
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
I will contact the developer of fre3vo, maybe he can release a new fixed build for DHD :)
[Desire HD Android Development] CuBz90:
I created a goldcard using This Guide

Then I downloaded the SoftBank RUU from HERE

Only half way through the RUU I get an error telling me its the wrong Device ID (Error 131)
[Desire HD Android Development] CuBz90:
Cheers that would be great.

I've tried 3 different methods to downgrade today, and all have failed
[Desire HD Android Development] har0ld:
How come you using a Gold Card with a RUU? Or are you copying the extracted "rom.zip" to the SD Card and renaming it to "PD98IMG.zip"?
[Desire HD Android Development] CuBz90:
I was following This Guide, which now seems to only work for China
[Desire HD Android Development] scorpion5:
where can I find the fre3vo file? It is missing in the Downgrade folder :confused:

I googled it and downloaded it but cmd told me that This device doesnt support this exploit

My build number: 2.42.415.1
[Desire HD Android Development] har0ld:
Ok.

I don't think having a Gold Card would make a difference as it is only for flashing a rom from the SD Card.

You could try get the ROM.zip from the RUU and rename it to PD98IMG.zip and then try to use the SD Card to flash... may rule out the RUU failing....

The 1.32 RUU extracted to "%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Temp\{E41CC98A-1071-4B3B-9730-4FDBCF963AB8}\{50F2F878-636A-496F-A7CB-544C067E0C4B}" on my computer, so it may be the same on your computer or something similar. It would definately still be in "local/temp".

If you're running Win7 you can right click on the ARUWIZARD.exe process and click open file location to find the extract point.

Let us know if this has any effect for you...
[Desire HD Android Development] CuBz90:
That's the right one but doesn't work with DHD at the moment
[Desire HD Android Development] scorpion5:
Yes, I think this fre3vo is for Sensation:(
[Desire HD Android Development] tolis626:
Thanks!I sure hope I still have my DHD after that! :D
[Desire HD Android Development] robE9:
you have to select your usb connection as a disk drive at that point, and after you done copying pd98img.zip make it as "charge only" again
[Desire HD Android Development] lilil:
Hey, thanks for this wonderful guide but I have still a few questions:

"adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp

adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp

adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/psneuter

adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version

adb shell /data/local/tmp/psneuter

adb shell"

1. Shall I have to copy & paste the whole command at one time or shall I have to copy & paste every single line???

2. Does it matter if I have a changed CID (but

no

Radio S-OFF) becauase I updated from 1.32.405.6 via OTA to 1.72.405.3 and now I would like to make a downgrade. So does the changed CID has any effect on the process???

Thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Ehusic, you pushed misc_version two times.. And you did not push psneuter.
[Desire HD Android Development] tolis626:
Well,I did copy the PD98IMG.zip to my SD card's root folder,rebooted into bootloader but nothing happened.After I saw that nice S-Off( :D )it checked for the image but couldn't find it.Wtf should I do? :confused:
[Desire HD Android Development] walid898:
lilil you have to copy & past the command one by one

[Desire HD Android Development] syklitengutt:
When reebooting I dont get any instructions, just the fastboot, recovery, factory reset, simlock image crc.
[Desire HD Android Development] walid898:
Are you sure to have PD98IMG.zip in your SD card?
[Desire HD Android Development] syklitengutt:
have it on my sd card in root folder, and md5sum tingy is correct.
[Desire HD Android Development] Trevize:
I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but when I'm trying "./misc_version -s 1.31.405.3" i got a message like this:

./misc_version -s 1.31.405.3

--set_version set. VERSION will be changed to: 1.31.405.3

Patching and backing up partition 17...

Error opening backup file.

And when flashing PD98IMG I get the "main version is older" error message.

Please, help.
[Desire HD Android Development] syklitengutt:
When I press reboot, I get a message saying all temp files will be deleted. Can this be why?
[Desire HD Android Development] tolis626:
Please ignore...
[Desire HD Android Development] walid898:
is it the first time you try to install a zip file from SD? could you try with another card?
[Desire HD Android Development] tolis626:
Should I do this too?
[Desire HD Android Development] walid898:
do you have the original card that came with the phone?
[Desire HD Android Development] syklitengutt:
I have a 16 gb card in now.

Could try with another card just for fun.

The original card died.

Have gotten a replacement from another company, can try that one.

Restart of phone will remove all temp files from memory.

Do you want to start restart the phone now is the message I get.
[Desire HD Android Development] walid898:
weird! did you try with RUU?
[Desire HD Android Development] Donny1987:
Errr, so if we can get temproot on the latest version... why do we downgrade again? :-)
[Desire HD Android Development] CuBz90:
It is but it can work with DHD, we just need the Dev to release a build for DHD if he will :)
[Desire HD Android Development] CuBz90:
I've looked inside every folder in "%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Temp" but cannot find it
[Desire HD Android Development] har0ld:
Oh.. I think I may have forgotten to mention you have to have the RUU running at the same time. It deletes the files once you close the program.
[Desire HD Android Development] CuBz90:
Silly me

Found it :) What do I do now?

The only thing that's confusing me is I am on 2.37, I cannot get root, and I am pretty sure I need root to flash a ROM

I have been trying different new downgrade methods all day, but with no luck, using that RUU was one of the methods

Also, I thought goldcards were also used to bypass the RUU CID check
[Desire HD Android Development] har0ld:
Cool! So you need to get the ROM.zip file and rename it to PD98IMG.zip and put it on ur Gold Card.

Cause the ROM is HTC Signed you don't need root.

Hopefully the ROM's android-info.txt file has our Device ID in it.....
[Desire HD Android Development] har0ld:
Oh and I forgot to mention that you need to flash it from the bootloader.

Hold the Volume Down button whilst turning the phone on and just let it go..

If it does any crazy stuff can you post an image?
[Desire HD Android Development] CuBz90:
EDIT: Nevermind just seen your second post
[Desire HD Android Development] CuBz90:
Main Version is older!

Update Fail!
[Desire HD Android Development] har0ld:
Lame...

What Software Version is your phone?? Greater than 2.37.762.2 ?
[Desire HD Android Development] CuBz90:
No, its 2.37.110.5

Edit: Just realised I had got the ROM.zip from the wrong RUU lol

I'll try again with the right one
[Desire HD Android Development] har0ld:
Ahh sweet lol...

Had me stumped for a second there.. :p
[Desire HD Android Development] CuBz90:
CID Incorrect!

Update Fail!
[Desire HD Android Development] har0ld:
I think that is a Gold Card error. Did you use mmc2 when you made the Gold Card?
[Desire HD Android Development] CuBz90:
Ye I used mm2.

But I did make a mistake when editing the Hex, I opened the SDCard under logical disk not physical disk. But I formatted the SDCard and then re-done it, opened it under physical disk. Will this be the problem?

Also, I formatted it again after changing the hex, but I was told that format will not stop it being a goldcard

EDIT: Just retried the goldcard, the hex was different so maybe I did it wrong last time, will let you know how it goes
[Desire HD Android Development] CuBz90:
Worked brilliantly...thanks!
[Desire HD Android Development] har0ld:
Really?! Awesome!

45 Minutes left on my download!

Can't Wait!!
[Desire HD Android Development] CuBz90:
Root also worked, now continuing to downgrade then install a custom ROM :)
[Desire HD Android Development] har0ld:
Hey man....

So is it working?
[Desire HD Android Development] CuBz90:
Ye but from some little experimenting, it seems like it's possible to downgrade directly to 1.32, using a goldcard, doing it the same way as I just did, using THIS
