[Q] Downgrade DHD

Hi guys Sorry to touble you with this n00b post, but i've searched everywhere and cannot find an answer.
I have a DHD with android 2.3.3 and sense 2.1. In order to install a custom rom I have to downgrade the phone.
I follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
Of course, i use the Section 2b. As you can tell by the screenshot i've downloaded the misc_version and gingerbreak to my platform tools folder.
why cant i push? I've searched in astro. When i go into data, I cant find a folder named "local". Dont know if it should be there or if it is created when you type in cmd.
USB debugging is on, charge only. I've installed SDK according to this guide on cynogen wiki: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Howto:_Install_the_Android_SDK
I followed the install guide exactly, but could not finish step 24. I dont have and exclamation mark over an unknown adb device. All i can relate to this in device manager is "my htc". I've installed HTCsync/usb drivers.
Can someone please help me?
/matekr

Not too sure, but a common problem is not having the HTC drivers? Have you installed HTC sync before to get all the correct drivers?

If your version is 2.37 there is no way you can downgrade your DHD. We can just hope for the devs to find a way to downgrade that version.

you have to be in the correct directory to be able to push the file. The command would go as follows:
cd c:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
then run the adb push command.
This is assuming that your sdk folder is in the root of C: If not just amend the command accordingly.
I would personally rename the sdk folder to just 'android' then move it to C: in which case the command would then be:
cd c:\android\platform-tools
Hope this helps you bud.

Agreed that was my mistake i wasn't in the correct folder and it drove me crazy for ages till i realised my stupid mistake!

Sorry dude didn't check the screenshot -yeah I had that problem too, put the files in the folder you start adb in

I am trying to root my DHD (it's currently on the latest Gingerbread OTA update)
Can you confirm that you have rooted your DHD using this method? And what version was your DHD at when you attempted this?
Currently this is where I'm stuck at

Check your software number.
If it's on 2.37 or 2.42, the latest Gingerbread OTA update, it is NOT downgradeable as of this moment.

[Q] Help Rooting and using Gold card

Hello every one,
I have been meaning to root my phone and going through the forum but a bit confusing to me with the different methods that work for different builds etc.
Bellow is my phone specifications:
Desire HD unlocked but branded to VirginMedia UK.
HBoot 0.85.0024
S-ON RL
Radio 26.09.04.11.m2
Android ver. 2.3.3
Kernel Ver 2.6.35.10-g095637
Build number 2.36.351.16
When i run the adb command this is what i get.
I have been using my phone to create the gold card now i used a card reader, same problem. shown below
I followed all procedures to the letter. Used the hexeditor while the card was in my phone. Switched to charging mode to use the CMD etc. I used both 8GB and 16GB SANDISK card. Could that be a problem?
I have andriod SDK installed
Followed the steps form jkoljo thread.

Guide, Finally Rooted, Downgraded, S-Off, and Installed Custom Rom
I followed the guide lines from this tread. I think it has a new and updated downgrade files to make use of.
The thread is by CuBz90 [Guide] TEMP-ROOT ANY Gingerbread build and downgrade to 1.32.405.6 [Updated July 30]
1. You need to do a Temp ROOT.
The instructions are there, follow them carefully. Some how the procedure for rooting by jkoljo for my phone did not some how work, but never the less a good thread to go through.
Download the DHD Downgrade folder and follow the instruction, it is now made simple with out typing much into the command line. However for me i had to enter it manually, don't know why (Alternatively (If step 3 fails))
And after the scan i typed in "adb shell" into the command prompt.
That gave me the # key i now knew i was rooted.
2. You need to create a Gold Card. The instructions are clear on how to go about it.
Instructions for creating GOLDCARD are in the both threads i listed above, by CuBz90 and by jkoljo.
Copy the downgraded Rom on to your Gold card and follow the instructions in the section Downgrade by CuBz90 [Guide] TEMP-ROOT ANY Gingerbread build and downgrade to 1.32.405.6 [Updated July 30]
I think only one method of doing it. Not hard.
I used a 16GB sandisk card.
I did all the formatting of my card while it was in my handset and the editing. you could also use a card reader.
Some say u need to clean wipe format your phone before rooting etc. I did not do that on for my Desire HD.
3. Going by CuBz90 thread, Download and install Visionary+ to your Desire HD
There a videos on you-tube on the procedure, same as the instructions.
Once you have done the perm root. you are rooted.
4. You need to do S-Off before you install a custom Rom.
I tried to instal a custom Rom with S-on, it did not work.
Follow this link:
How to Radio S-Off & SimUnlock Your Desire HD - by jkoljo
Download the Easy Radio tool v2_2.zip from the link above by jkoljo
I just use the easy radio software and did the S-Off.
Then check if you are now S-off by booting into the boot-loader of your phone (power on holding down volume down. you will see S-off)
5. Continue with the The thread is by CuBz90 [Guide] TEMP-ROOT ANY Gingerbread build and downgrade to 1.32.405.6 [Updated July 30]
With the stage :"How to Flash recovery with ClockworkMod"
Install ClockworkMod on your phone and update it and follow the remaining instructions.
ClockworkMod Provides a boot screen where i can install my downloaded custom Rom. There are so many good custom Roms for the Desire HD, I tried the LeeDrOiD HD V3.3.1 GB Rom.
I hope this helps
ps if there are any errors or mistakes kindly point them out.

Need assistance downgrading 2.36

Hello,
My DHD is running 2.3.3 Gingerbread with 2.36.771.14 Build Number.
It's a branded phone so I followed THIS guide on creating a Goldcard which I have now done.
My next step was to follow THIS precisely however I end up with a few errors in the CMD. I've moved the PD98IMG.zip file into the root of the SD Card unextracted, I've extracted the Download_v2.zip into the C:\ Drive on my computer.
This is what I input into the CMD:

I've searched for a few days on how to resolve this issue, the only solutions that I've seen is to retry making a Goldcard and perform a factory reset and follow the steps again. I've done both and yet I still receive this error, can anybody point me in the right direction?

Is this before or after you managed to downgrade using the goldcard?
If its after the downgrade to 2.36.405 or lower, use this...
http://driphter.com/index.php?topic=3867.0
You may not have to downgrade as Gingerbreak should work with your v2.36 as well (as its just the carrier modded 2.36. The .771 signifies the vendor's id#)
eg: Telus = 661, hence all telus builds are .661.x

Hi there thank you for your quick response,
I have not yet managed to downgrade at all, that is where my problem lies.
- I will try that guide out and let you know the result.

I followed that guide, however the RUU gives me an error:
"ERROR [140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android Phone.
Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again."

You're going to need to use the goldcard to downgrade first then, then you'll be able to root only after downgrading.
(Try this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1152233&page=7 to DOWNGRADE ONLY!)

That guide is for 2.37, I'm on 2.36.771.114 Build.

it should still work. Either the bootloader will bypass the update to 2.37, or it will take. If it takes, then you can downgrade to 1.32 and root your device. If it doesnt, then it doesnt and you're still on 2.36.771.
So its either a win situation, or a loss of 10 minutes. lol

I am now rooted and have Radio-off. I will be flashing LeeRoid later today, thank you very much for all your help

N.P.
Recommendation: use the 2.36.405.8 ruu to update to that version and root it (unless you want to update your raidio using fastboot and shell commands)

[S-ON][TUTORIAL] Downgrade from a ROM Hboot 1.03 to a ROM Hboot 0.9

Firts before all, I WILL NOT BE RESPONSABLE IF YOU'VE GOT ANY PROBLEM FOLLOWING THESE STEPS.
What to learn in this tut ?
- GAIN FULL ROOT ACCESS IN ADB SHELL easily, thanks to zergRush
- DOWNGRADE from a ROM compatible HBOOT 1.03 to a ROM compatible HBOOT 0.9 (and consequently avoid RUU Output Errors)
Thanks to mphi tuto, aparici help and zergRush I managed to do it whereas with other techniques it doesn't work.
Techniques not working to downgrade :
Installing a modified PG76IMG.ZIP (version has been modified to be after my current ROM version, modifying android-info.txt) with GoldCard and Bootloader Install
--> Bootloader loads and checks the zip on your goldcard, but after finishing to check it goes back to bootloader menu
Installing with the RUU by replacing the rom.zip in temp folder. I extracted rom.zip content then change version in android-info.txt, then recompress a new zip and replace the other by the new one.
--> Signature Version Error even if the ROM version is changed…
I guess it doesn't work because the phone is not rooted and S-OFF.
Working downgrade steps :
Download HTC Sync USB Drivers and the tools you will need here, including zergRush (found here) : http://www.mediafire.com/?z2l7n2gxznz6276
Download the HTC Official ROM which is hboot 0.9 here : http://www.filefactory.com/file/cbb...35.3029H_7.46.35.08_release_183799_signed.exe
Back up your phone data on a SD card or something else
Shut down your phone then insert GoldCard in it and power on (Creating a goldcard http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954723)
Connect your phone to your computer via USB and select HTC Sync mode (also verify USB debugging is enabled).
Extract the tools at the root of your computer (example c:\tools)
Run Windows CMD and move to the tools folder, then execute these commands
Put the tool on your sd_card
Code:
adb push flash_image /sdcard/flash_image
Add zergRush to your phone
Code:
adb push zergRush /data/local/zergRush
Enter interactive shell mode
Code:
adb shell
Launch zergRush
Code:
chmod 755 /data/local/zergRush
/data/local/zergRush

Kudos you're root !! you can even exit adb, you still will be root as long as your phone is connected via usb
.
Now execute those commands :
Code:
cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/misc.img
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
chmod 777 /data/flash_image
exit
Once you've exit from adb shell type this :
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/misc.img misc.img
Now the misc.img is in your tools folder. Run HxD.exe and select OK when prompted.
Open misc.img in the current directory, and change line 11 which contains the version number of your current ROM. Change it by number of the future ROM you want to install.
Changes will appear in red. Save the file to misc2.img.
Copy the img t the SDCard using this command :
Code:
adb push misc2.img /sdcard/misc2.img

Return to the shell where you're root
Code:
adb shell
/data/flash_image misc /sdcard/misc2.img
After this, run the RUU installer and let it do its work !
You should have succeed
Please send me your hboot version and your before and after configuration of roms before and after the downgrade or upgrade following this tutorial if you succeed in it !
Experimentations :
Being root in adb allows you to do things like those who are S-OFF. If you tried something, inform me by PM for me to add informations to this part of the tuto.
Before and after configs Working:
- ROM 1.48.118.0 T-mobile Poland TO ROM 1.33.401.2 StockWWE, HBOOT 1.03, S-ON, CID: T-MOB009
- ROM 1.64.192.1 Vodafone FR TO ROM 1.30.401 Official HTC Rom, HBOOT 1.03 S-ON
- ROM T-Mobile NL rom TO ROM 1.30.401 Official HTC Rom
It seems to be not working on T-Mob USA phones, take care following steps

What are the differences between adb root and permanent root? Any disadvantages?
(also, think this topic should be pinned)

Doesn't work for me.
Root is fine, flash edited misc is fine.
When try to flash 1.30.401.0 via RUU I get ERROR [131]: CUSTOMER ID ERROR

I've never met this error, but be sure to do all the steps carefully. I do them 2 times before it works (so first time, there was an error !).
I think the operation I missed was this one : adb push flash_image /sdcard/flash_image. Which is really important !
Repeat operations, be sure of what you do and if it doesn't work I hope we could find the fix for you !
Edit : check your Goldcard, there are lot of possibilites that error is caused by this one :
- GoldCard not in the device (you're not noob like this I guess xD)
- Bad manipulation while creating Goldcard
- Change the brand of your SD Card, try Kingston one which is perfect for it

I tried several times, each time without error.

did you have a tmobile usa wildfire s ?

Hello,
I tried to do everything as you said in tutorial but I'm so unexperienced in rooting etc. so I failed.
I think I made a goldcard, and I moved to correct folder while being in CMD but after writing "adb push flash_image /sdcard/flash_image" I saw that:1584 KB/s (0 bytes in 76044.000s)> I think it's not good. After typing the second comment "adb push zergRush /data/local/zergRush" I saw "cannot stat 'zergRush': No such file or directory".
What am I doing wrong?
I'm sorry for my bad english.

T-Mobile Poland. CID is still T-MOB009

So let me get this right.
We now have a method of rooting the WFS and having the ability to flash a new rom on to it?

Yes and no. We can install custom roms yes, but it's not permanent root it's only through adb shell and it's only tested working so far from actual operator roms first (t-mobile, vodafone) not sure if it works from generic stock down.

[+] Killing ADB and restarting as root..enjoy!
Kudos you're root !! you can even exit adb, you still will be root as long as your phone is connected via usb
.
Now execute those commands :
Code:
cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/misc.img
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
chmod 777 /data/flash_image
exit
Once you've exit from adb shell type this :
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/misc.img misc.img
Now the misc.img is in your tools folder. Run HxD.exe and select OK when prompted.
Open misc.img in the current directory, and change line 11 which contains the version number of your current ROM. Change it by number of the future ROM you want to install.
Changes will appear in red. Save the file to misc2.img.
Copy the img t the SDCard using this command :
Code:
adb push misc2.img /sdcard/misc2.img

Return to the shell where you're root
Code:
adb shell
/data/flash_image misc /sdcard/misc2.img
After this, run the RUU installer and let it do its work !
You should have succeed
Experimentations :
Being root in adb allows you to do things like those who are S-OFF. If you tried something, inform me by PM for me to add informations to this part of the tuto.
Working on :
- RUU_Marvel_Vodafone_FR_LPM_1.64.192.1_Radio_47.10c .35.3030_7.47.36.19M_release_203694_signed + Hboot 1.03
Special Thanks :
mphi for his tuto, aparici for his help, revolutionary for their local root

Hope it will help ! Let me know how it's going for you !

Good job on the tutorial emveefr, I am almost certain my problem is gonna be goldcard related, I'll get a new microsd in the morning thanks alot.

So if can get adb root can't you just go into current rom with adb and delete certain apps out of the /system/app folder????
i'm sorta a newbie at all this kinda stuff...
i got zergRush to go... then it restarted adb root which is indicated by # instead of $ correct?
But once in there i couldnt rm any of the .apk in /system/app
or any ideas which rom would be compatible with Tmobile USA wildfire s ???
build 1.62.531.3
thanks in advanced..

No problem man, I told you there was a mistake somewhere ^^
Could you tell us your before and after configurations please ?

Hello,
I tried to do everything as you said in tutorial but I'm so unexperienced in rooting etc. so I failed.
I think I made a goldcard, and I moved to correct folder while being in CMD but after writing "adb push flash_image /sdcard/flash_image" I saw that:1584 KB/s (0 bytes in 76044.000s)> I think it's not good. After typing the second comment "adb push zergRush /data/local/zergRush" I saw "cannot stat 'zergRush': No such file or directory".
What am I doing wrong?
I'm sorry for my bad english.

You know I was so inexperienced like you a few days ago. Like I said previously, read, read and read on forums to understand what you are doing.
How do you want to succeed if you don't understand the whole part ? It's not about copying the lines I put here, understand them and you will know what to do .
BTW about your errors, transfert is not good and it cannot find zergRush because something is going wrong somewhere in your files and folders I guess.
If other users can do it themselves and succeed, just give it a try later and be patient while learning !
PS : You know I'm french and I will not criticize you on your english speaking ^^

Yes root is indicated by # in the shell. What does it say when you want to remove apk ?
About your rom sorry I don't know.

I'm sure I was doing something wrong but like I would go into /system/app/ and type rm Stock.apk
It would say directory not empty.
Can you help me how to do it step by step. I believe needs to me mounted rw.. I not familiar with the exact commands.
Thanks.

1. Be sure u got all drivers.
2. Connect your phone via USB and select the HTC sync option when prompted. Also ensure that USB debugging is enabled (this is the default).
3. Unzip my pack somewhere. I suggest like (x:\folder)
4. Start cmd. Be sure u are in the ADB folder with CMD.
5. Write those commands carefully, be sure you wrote them correctly.
adb push flash_image /sdcard/flash_image
adb push zergRush /data/local/tmp/zergRush
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/zergRush

exit

Copy misc.img from sdcard to current directory

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
6.Run HxD.exe, select "OK" at the prompt then File -> Open and locate misc.img (which is in the current directory). On the 11th line you should see the version number of your current ROM. I set my version number to 2.13.401.2 since this was the version number. The changes made will be highlighted in red. File -> Save As and name it misc2.img.
Pictures!
1. Find your version my was 10.13.401.2
http://i.imgur.com/xfltH.png
2.Write currect Version (Dont worry if something will left, we will get off this soon)
http://i.imgur.com/yHp9W.png
3.Change the Selected number what left, for me it was 2. Then in this BIG table of weird things, there will be selected an value for me it's 32, just change it to 00, and save file. Should look like this:

If your version of misc.img match the required version of the RUU you can complete the tutorial (this is not a problem to which this guide will help you). If the versions are different, set the version that is required, and continue the tutorial from step 7.
7. Back to adb window. Copy the misc2.img to sdcard. (no # or $)
adb push misc2.img /sdcard/misc2.img

After those steps you should be able to install RUU from htcdev to unlock bootloader.
Reply if something went wrong.
If it helps just click THANKS
If you use zergRush again, clean dump's from zergRush via
Code:
adb shell
rm /data/local/tmp/boomsh
rm /data/local/tmp/sh

My version was 10.13.401.2 I've changed it to 2.13.401.2 so now I should go on from step 7?

Yes, go to step 7 edit it to good one and flash it.
I edited the red text so it will be easier to undestand good luck

Hi Unkheq,
Came back to hit thanks!
It totally worked for me, it was showing version 10.13.401.2 and i edited to 2.13.401.2, followed all your steps exactly and all went fine.
RUU ran succesfully.
Thanks for the tut!

hi gusta1,
Did you give zergrush full permissions with this command: adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/zergRush ? it's under step 5.

yes I did and all went well till executing zergrush... here I get a premission denied

are you sure u copied zergrush in good directory, or try giving chmod again

I write code a several times and allways stuck at that point... i don't know what to do anymore.. what could be wrong? My WFS is S-ON and it is not rooted yet

gusta1, be sure you are in the directory where you put the files. For example, if you extracted them in D:\WFS\APPS then in CMD you need to type command: chdir D:\WFS\APPS and after that start with step 5 from tutorial.

I have the same problem as gusta1 even I'm in proper folder I've got following message:

I run cmd as admin (Vista), repeated prcedure and restarted phone several times, but with the same result.
But my history is different. I have S-off my Wildfire S successfuly at the begining when I was on 2.3.3. However I put phone to my wife and once phone asked for update to 2.3.5 she allowed it and S-off was gone. Since that I can not move, everywhere is some error.

Hi,
Try this:
After entering "adb shell":
run these commands in adb shell:
rm /data/local/tmp/boomsh
rm /data/local/tmp/sh
Then continue with the step to execute zerg rush.
