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
The resulting output should be like this :

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
my phone: hboot 1.03, S-ON, cid: T-MOB009

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

The tutorial is nothing short of genius my friend. I am sure this will help all S-ON users to gain a temporary root and flash their ROM of choice. Cheers mate!

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.

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.

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 ???

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.

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!

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.

SOLUTION: S-ON HTC Wildfire S Downgrade Error "Main Version is Older. Update fail."
Like a few people I have been trying to debrand my S-ON Wildfire S by flashing an official HTC ROM. Since my phone shipped with a later version number (1.34.110.3), the bootloader would refuse to flash the latest Official HTC ROM (1.33.401.2) even with a gold card!
Luckily I've now managed to bypass this error by hex editing and reflashing the misc partition. The following method should allow you to downgrade to any signed HTC ROM no matter what version you currently have installed, even if your phone is S-ON.
Warning: You could probably brick your phone if you flash an invalid misc partition. So follow these steps carefully (or not at all)! Also, if you flash a very recent ROM, you may not be able to use these steps to downgrade again!
Ensure you have the HTC Sync USB drivers installed then download the zip at mediafire.com/?wxf6y4yq6d6nc8d containing the tools you need, and an official HTC ROM executable. I used the ROM at filefactory.com/file/cbd7165.
Connect your phone via USB and select the HTC sync option when prompted. Also ensure that USB debugging is enabled (this is the default).
Extract the zip and open a windows command prompt and browse to the directory where you extracted the files.
Execute the following commands in the command prompt:
Code:
adb push flash_image /sdcard/flash_image
adb push GingerBreak /data/local/tmp/GingerBreak
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/GingerBreak
Now enter the interactive shell mode with the following command:
Code:
adb shell
Gain temporary root access by executing the following command within the interactive shell:
Code:
./data/local/tmp/GingerBreak
Ensure that it has worked successfully (the shell prompt should change from $ to #).
As root now execute the following commands:
Code:
cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/misc.img
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
chmod 777 /data/flash_image
Now exit from root permissions. The shell prompt should change back to a $.
Code:
exit
Clean up a few files and exit from adb.
Code:
rm /data/local/tmp/sh
rm /data/local/tmp/boomsh
exit
Copy the image file from your SD card using the command:
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/misc.img misc.img
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, change this to a lower number. I set my version number to 1.30.401.0 since this was the version number of the previous official HTC ROM. The changes made will be highlighted in red. File -> Save As and name it misc2.img.
Copy misc2.img to your SD card using the following command:
Code:
adb push misc2.img /sdcard/misc2.img
Reboot your phone so that you can use GingerBreak again to attain temporary root privileges. (This may not be strictly necessary, but I think it's worthwhile just in case.)
Once it's back and you've connected via USB using the HTC Sync option again, issue the following commands in your command prompt:
Code:
adb shell
./data/local/tmp/GingerBreak
/data/flash_image misc /sdcard/misc2.img
Now run the official ROM installer executable as normal. Note that the installer may state your current version number but this is ignored and you should be able to downgrade successfully!
Let me know if you have any problems.
Confirmed Working on:
TMobile UK 1.34.110.3 + HBOOT 0.90.0.0
TMobile Polska 1.30.401.2 + HBOOT 0.90.0.0

How long are you waiting for it to complete? Like it says, it can sometimes take a while for the exploit to take effect. Sometimes it took up to a minute for me.
Every time you use GingerBreak you should make sure that you remove sh, boomsh and crashlog if they exist, reboot your phone then push and chmod GingerBreak again.

It seems unusual that your ROM has a 9.0.0.0 version number
But, yes, as long as 1.30.401.0 is lower than the version number of the RUU you are intending to flash, it should be fine. If it doesn't work you can use flash_image to reflash misc.img to get back the old version number.
I tried it again after remove commands and rebooting but no luck... Waited +5mins and nothing happened.
I guess the new HBOOT is the problem.

Maybe the GingerBreak exploit is patched on your ROM...
Beer for U mphi it works great !!!
If this has worked for you, please can you post your previous ROM version number and your HBOOT version? I'll keep a list of working version numbers updated in the first post. Thanks!
Sure, ROM was branded TMobile Polska 1.30.401.2 and Hboot is 0.90.0.0.
Now I have unbranded 1.30.401.2.

Hey there, I flashed my phone with
RUU_Marvel_Sasktel_Canada_WWE_1.58.669.2_Radio_47.10c.35.3030_7.47.36.19M_release_199460_signed
hoping it would be unlocked, but now it means I cannot use your method which I previously used. I think I'm stuck on this until a new ROM comes out.. D:
Just giving people a heads up so they don't hit a wall like I did, and hope you can create a work around THANKS!!
//Edit
The only way to fix this is to get S-OFF right? *Looks like I'm forking out the cash lol*

Ahh, the GingerBread exploit must have been patched in that ROM then. It's a double-edged sword really; if you were running a ROM that is unpatched a malicious app could take full control of your phone...
Having said that, it still might be possible to enter recovery mode and reflash without S-OFF, but I really haven't done much research and wouldn't know where to start
Its just a shame there is not much going on in this section compared to other phones, lol.
I'm just going to take it into to town and get it unlocked for cash on the weekend, then save for a Galaxy S2.
Does not work for me with Wildfire S HBoot 0.90 and European T-Com ROM 1.34.11.5
Hi!
I had the same 11th line as on picture - 9.0.0.0.
I put the tutorial values and a solutions works 4 me as well.
I don't remember ROM version but was branded for tmobile polska, and I'm sure that was never than 1.30.401.2. - something like 1.33.xxxx or even 1.35.xxxx
After all I tried a goldcard method - now works fine.
Many thanks for a solution!!
Chinese to european ROM
Hi
I'm trying to install the euro ROM (1.33...) using the goldcard metod in my Wildfire S but I get the downgrade error (now I'm running a 1.38... version and 0.90.0000 HBOOT).
Now I'm in China and I don't know why can't visit mediafire for download the zip with the files that I need for follow this tuto. Is there some alternative web for get this files?
Another question is if in the future will be a euro version newer than the chinese one that allow me to change the ROM without do the practice of this tuto.
I have not a lot of experience doing this, so it will be grat and easier for me
Thanks in advance!!
There's no way to tell if there will be a newer official HTC ROM > 1.38..., but if there is, you should be able to download without this tutorial.
I've re-uploaded the files to a few more filehosts, hopefully you can access at least one of them:

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.

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

2.Write currect Version (Dont worry if something will left, we will get off this soon)

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 $)

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.

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.

You should do full wipe and follow steps on V2.

Hi all
after flash hboot jellybean but now can't flash stock hboot
when I want flash stock hboot error you can't back hboot
please help me
I'm trying to run this tutorial so I can downgrade hboot and then run revolutionary for root/s-off. I get stuck at step 11. Says "The system cannot find the path specified." Anyone got any idea how I could get past this?
Same here! Pls help!
Many thanks for such detailed tutorial, but I am having problems.
First of all when I click on the RUU link I am presented with a download that doesn't work and just cycles through a bunch of adverts. Fair enough, I managed to get to the real link anyway, but the file is not an RUU.EXE but it is HTC_Desire_Android_2.3_Upgrade.zip. Using this file I cannot find which rom version it is and cannot therefore patch it with the correct version in step 17, but I never got to that point.
I created apparently successfully a goldcard and used it for the rest of the procedure, hope this is ok. Steps 7 to 10 seemed to be successful also although the output was not quite like on your tutorial. I got
$ chmod 755 /data/local/zergRush

Hi Everybody,
I know, that there are a lot of threats about this fact in the forum. But nothing will work for me, aspessially important links will not work anymore. Could anybody help me?
If I go to the bootloader (noise - and Power-On) there are the following informations written:

OK, on my cell is working a Android 2.3.3, so I have to root my cell and downgrade.
I tryed to do this with the following threat: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905261
1. I Tryed to create a GOLDCARD. I read this threat, got the CID of my cell with the the code
Code:
adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc2/mmc2:*/cid
. Now I should type this CID in a webformular at this link to reverse it. This formular is still working, but there is also a Excel-Tool on this page for downloading, which should do the same. So my CID like "035344534d49202010000073b900d494" was reversed to "00d400b9730000102020494d53445303".
This code I should input to this formular for creating a GOLDCARD, but it doesn't work anymore.
So I looked around and found this threat, where a goldcardcreator is downloadable.
In this zip-file is included a program named "SimpleGoldCard", which read a reversed CID from the cell. On a command-Line I typed in
Code:
gcard -c 00d400b9730000102020494d53445303 -r -o "GoldCard.img"
Than I putted in the sd-Card into the Card-Reader of my Desktop, formatted it, used the tool "HeX Editor", copyed (line) 00000000 to offset (line) 00000170 (including the 00000170 line) and pasted it to the SD-Card.
After that I hope to created a correct GoldCard.
2. After that I downloaded the files psneuter, PC10IMG.zip and root. But in this threat is written, that I have to extract "misc_version_01.zip". Where is this file? I searched in this forum and downloaded a file named like this. Are there Differences or is a special version needed? I copyed the PC10IMG.zip to the SD-Card and put this to the cell.
3. then I booted the cell again, connected it to the desktop and used the following commands to put the downloaded files to the cell
Code:
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
After that I should get the # - symbol instead of the $ - symbol which means, that I rooted the phone. But here is my first problem, I didn't get the # - symbol, so I don't have the permission to start the next programms.
4. Normally I would do next the following commands and then to reboot and flash the older Firmware.
Code:
/data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.33.405.5
exit
adb reboot bootloader
But when I reboot, the bootloader is looking for the PC10IMG.zip, is loading and checking this ... and gives me the information
CID incorrect!
Update Fail!
Press <POWER> to reboot.
Well, this is the next big problem.
Cold anybody tell me, where my mistakes are? I read 2 days in the forum, tryed a lot to get the final result, but now I don't have the time anymore to continue in this way.
THanks a lot. with best regards, Speedy8

well ... I searched again today ... and found the following threat, which was working on my cell-phone.
And also at the cyanogenmod-page you can find the relevant things to root the Desire Z. You can find it here.
Now I will first install the latest cyanogenmod, which is for the Desire Z not the Android 4, but at the moment newer than 2.3.3.
Thanks for answering, my Questions are answered.
With best regards.
