I've got the HTC P3300 for a few months now. I wanted to upgrade to WM6, which I did. Everything is fine.
Now I want to downgrade to WM5 WWE, but it doesn't work.
My pda is not sim-locked, but it still fails. There are a lot of threads regarding this, so I wont ask this, but ..... What the h*ll is CID lock?
I have read a lot about this, but I don't understand. Where is it good for, why can I upgrade, but not downgrade?
Please, can someone explain this in a simple yet effective manner to me?
Hope to read soon,
With regards,
Ronald.
And bootloader?
oh, yes,
What is the bootloader mode? How do I get there, and what does it do?
If you want to know specific what CID is and why to run USPL, you should ask the master-mind behindt the prog. him selv (Clik on "USPL" further down.
If you have the correkt original ROM made for you unit it should not be a problem to run it without using USPL. But personally i use this genius lille flash (just in case) - Why take any chance
Follow thise instruction and it should go great
Hard reset your device
Run USPL - klik here for further explanation
Run upgrade / Downgrade

Here you can see hov to access bootloader..
I have downgraded my orbit easily after running USPL utility. This utlity is to temporary unlock the phone. Please try to downgrade or upgrade after this tool run to unlock CID
(The bootloader is invoked by pressing down the Power and Voicedialer buttons simultaneously, and using the stylus at the same time to press the RESET button at the left side. Continue pressing the two buttons for a few seconds after pressing and releasing the reset button until the bootloader screen appears)

just to point this out because a friend of mine misunderstood this: this wiki article shows both how to do a hard reset and also how to enter bootloader. you dont have to do a hard reset first to enter bootloader. just do what abshie wrote (even though i dont think pressing the power button is necessary).
You are right

I just mentioned the way to enter boot loader is because he asked for it.
No need to do anything in the bracket to upgrade or downgrade OS.
Just run USPL and you can easily do it.

you use the bootloader mode for... well, for upgrading and downgrading your ROM, for one thing!!!
you can always downgrade, but remember, first you must run the USPL each time you want to change your rom. then you won't have a problem. you don't even need to downgrade to your original rom, unless you bricked your device. but if you didn't brick it and you just want to change/downgrade your rom, just run USPL first then flash your device with your choice rom!
So today while following a tutorial, not sure which one. I managed to completely erase my system partition from my phone, leaving me without anything, including s-off. So now im stuck at S-ON, no system software, and no custom recovery. What gives? Is there anyway to put atleast SOME software on the phone. I'd love to use my EVO that i just purchased today, and spent countless hours trying to get permanent root. Even a stock ruu or something would be nice. Anything is appreciated. Thanks.
Try a stock ruu..

I've googled, tried the HTC site, somewhat searched xda, found a lot of rooted stock roms, could you point me in the direction of an ACTUAL stock ruu? My phone came with 2.2 and 2.02 bootloader, if that helps any.
https://bit.ly/f9Jx0f
Only has up to 3.30 though.
But I think thats the one that shipped on phones with that booloader version.
The RUU won't recognize my phone, but the software itself has a few typo's and asks for an adb device with an odd looking string after it. Would it be possible to find the update.zip from the ruu and install it using fastboot? because thats about the only thing that works on my phone.
You have bootloader right? How about this one?
OTA_supersonic_3.70 + full RUU

Yes I have bootloader, call me ignorant, but what do I do with the zip files? I the exe link is broken, and i've never had to use the bootloader before, i came from an htc hero with a custom recovery.
Here's the RUU link posted by TMartin03: RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.70.651.1_Radio_2.15.00.11.19_NV_1.90_release_161482_signed.exe
From here page 7, post #67
Mirror by teshxx
If you need to PC36IMG file, its located here in this post by TMartin03. I assume you would have to rename this to PC36IMG.zip for it to work in bootloader.
Fixed, flashed that pc36img file, THANK YOU!!!!!
Awesome...glad to help and hear that it worked out for you.

Pulling the battery, putting it back in, holding the power and vol down button simultaneously (dont release) doesn't get you to the bootloader?
i have a desire hd tried to update from 2.3.5 to jelly bean,when put to hboot it didnt and for 2nd try when i inserted batery again it didnt powerd on.when i conected the fone with pc it conected just in QSHUSB-DLOAD-mode and wants the driver for it.can any one give me some hints to fix it.

Honestly I'm having a really hard time understanding what you're saying. You said you tried to "update" to Jellybean (I assumed by flashing a custom ROM) without stating the root method. Then you said the root method was HTCDEV bootloader unlock, not AAHK. Then you said you didn't unlock, you merely pulled the battery when hboot didn't work. You checked "fastboot", it worked, and after an evening it refused to boot into hboot? And you did nothing else? By fastboot do you mean hboot (where all that S-On info you posted earlier is)? Or do you mean a recovery? And now it won't boot into hboot? Or it won't boot into the recovery? Or it won't boot into the ROM?
Please give a description of what state the phone was in originally. Then please give a step by step description of exactly what you did in chronological order. Then describe its current state. Otherwise I'm quite confused as to what you have done.

Wait. Customer...? You're getting paid for this? If so, what was your plan for support after you rooted the phone and flashed a (free) custom ROM on it and got paid? A custom ROM will never be as stable as stock. Are you planning on having your noob customer, who has no idea of the rooting process or anything else because you did it for him, throw himself on the mercy of the volunteers here at XDA for help when his newly Jellybean-ed phone goes wrong?
If not, does hboot come on eventually if you wait, say, 30 minutes?
Hi all,
I just joined this website. I got a HTC Desire HD, with Cyanogemod from this website cyanogenmod.org
Since yesterday its stuck in boot screen. The cyanogenmod booting animation keeps going forever. I got into the recovery mode once, and somewhere on another forum someone wrote that I had to click Fastboot. But now I cant get into recovery mode anymore, and my phone wont boot too.
What can I do to make my phone work again?
All help is highly appreciated!
Please provide what steps you followed before current state of phone, are you s-on or s-off, bootloader unlocked or not etc. So that it will be easy to understand the state of ur phone and helo

Hey ramdesai,
I really appreciate your post(and it was really fast too). It was a long time ago that I put Cyanogenmod on my phone, and I used some tutorial to do it. I think this was the tutorial that I used. I also don't know what s-on or s-off is. techgeekal.com/2013/01/14/cyanogenmod-10-1-jellybean-4-2-1-for-htc-desire-hd/
Edit: i know my phone had its original OS before cyanogenmod

Are you S-OFF or have an unlocked bootloader? if you don't know that then I suggest you do some reading first. There is a guide in my signature where you will find all that stuff.
Check the hboot and see what it says...it is not the same installation for S-OFF than being unlocked

Hiho , i have a problem that my DHD wont start anymore after installing the newest update of the Jelly Time ROM.
USB Debugging is off and i cant turn it on and fastboot was allready on before i flashed it.
If i connect the device to my PC the CWM starts but i cant select wipe/factory reset by pushing the power button because the device will boot then.

Hey guys
got a HTC M9 with cid "O2___102" which won't boot up after stock update.
Phone was not modified yet.
1. Can't unlock bootloader (says: "(bootloader) [KillSwitch] Last Byte is 0X00, disable unlock") - so no way to install custom recovery + custom rom to revive
2. Can't boot into recovery (shows phone with a red exclamation mark but no menu) so no way to factory rest
3. can't find a matching RUU for the "O2___102" CID ...
PLEASE HELP =(
At the screen with the red triangle and exclamation mark, press and hold the power button. While holding the power button, quickly press and release the volume + button. If this gets you to recovery, try a factory reset.

The UK ones for O2 can be used with the German O2 CID, too. You can find them for example in my Collection of Back-to-Stock Files or on androidRUU. But I'm not sure whether a downgrade from android 5.1 is possible with S-ON. The only confirmed downgrades with S-ON were from 1.32.XXX.15 to 1.32.XXX.8. And from my experiences with Denis Meissner and Amr Nasser I would say that a downgrade isn't possible with S-ON if the first and/or the second number of the actual firmware version differ from the ones of the firmware you want to downgrade to.

Yeah, would have suprised me if it worked. As said before even downgrading from 1.40.XXX.X to 1.32.XXX.X seems to be impossible with S-ON. How long did you actually wait until you thought that you phone doesn't boot? The update to android 5.1 and the first boot took around an hour for me. Maybe you just need to wait a little longer. If your phone was unlocked I would suggest you to flash TWRP and use one of my stock backups but...
The only other option I can see right now is trying to find someone who has a java card. With S-OFF you should be able to downgrade with the RUU. (If I remember correctly there were one or two shops advertising their java card services on Android-Hilfe.) This option may not be for free but it should still be cheaper than sending your phone to HTC's repair service or buying a new phone.

whats that java card you're talkin about? Never heard of that.
An appropiate RUU with the latest version should theoretically also work, right?
Problem ist that I cant flash anything custom because bootloader locked and I cant get inside the system to enable the bootloader unlock... =( and the thing has a visually broken volume up key for dropping down, so the htc support won't fix it (for free) I fear.. otherwise I would just give it to them since it has not been modified yet. (not my phone ..)
P.S:
OS Version is 2.10.206.2 - thats the latest one right?

Yes, 2.10.206.2 is the latest version for now. If there were a RUU with your firmware version then using it would be the easiest way to solve your problems. But as far as I know the only existing ones for O2 are for 1.32.206.6 and 1.32.206.15. But with S-OFF you would be able to use the older RUUs, too.
I never used a java card so my knowledge about this topic isn't that outstanding. I know that it is a small, SIM-Card-like looking thing that allows you to S-OFF your phone. Usually they cost several hundred euros/dollars and the number of times you can use them is limited. Since verizon blocks bootloader unlocking these cards are the only option if a verizon users wants to flash anything on his/her phone. Some German phone shops offered S-OFF by java card, too, before sunshine got updated for the M9. That's why I gave you the link to Android-Hilfe. (And that's actually all I know about that topic.)
i need this rru please any one have to uplode link
thanks
Just as an update, I recently bricked this phone trying to flash lineage to it. To fix it, I went to HTC.com and downloaded the current RUU and put the phone into download mode. I know some people say you don't need to "relock" the device, but I don't get errors during the installation with RUU when relocked. Plus, I am running with S-on.

Bootloader and s status are irrelevant. The phone will flash regardless.
