I have recently downgraded my Desire HD to root it, after playing around I want to go back, does the phone have it built in so all I have to do is go back into the bootloader, or is there a link somewhere to get from 1.32 back to 1.72.
thanks.

I can't seem to find it on the dev forums but there was a one click batch file that could take your desire back down to 0.83 again.
It was packaged as debrand.zip and did all the adb commands for you, can anyone give me a link to the forum posting?
Just curious, but why do I see a lot of threads about people who want to downgrade their Hboot? I don't understand the advantage of it.
Why do you need to go back?
my phone is fubar'd I need to get the original stock ROM onto it and using the executable from shipped ROMS doesn't work as it can't overwrite the boot loader.
I need to get a previous version of HBOOT onto the device so that the stock ROM can flash itself.
What stock ROM you trying to go back to?
O2 UK pre froyo.
Then i'm sending it back becuase the damn thing is acting up like a trouble child on crack. Random reboots to the HTC logo and 5 vibrates, freezing on any other ROM I try while downloading more than 1 app on the market.
You don't need to go back, just flash the stock o2 FroYo ROM...get it from shipped-roms

i rooted my htc desire 2 days before and i want to change it back to android 2.2stock..plsss help me..
Use the search.
You could follow this tutorial from youtube. It'll help you find your original 2.2 Stock ROM. And then youll be able to unroot your phone back to 2.2 . Bare in mind though that the tutorial shown below, is done before the phone was rooted. You just need to download your RUU from http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Bravo Make sure you get the right one! And then just follow the tutorial from youtube.

Hi Guys, I posted this in Android Software and Hacking General, but I didn't get a reply. Probably the wrong section!
my HTC Desire GSM is stuck in Fastboot and won't boot into the ROM. The background to this issue is that I installed S-Off and then ClockworkMod and flashed Cyogenmod 7 to see if it would fix a reboot issue on the phone. The damn thing just reboots itself when the CPU is used heavily...
Anywho, after realising that Cyogen wouldn't resolve the issue I flashed the standard Virgin UK rom back over it and upgraded to 2.22.351.2 via the system update feature. The problem was that ClockwordMod was still installed and I had to get rid of it to sent the phone off for repair to Virgin!
So I did further research and found that I could flash HBoot via the AlphaRev.nl downgrader tool. I downloaded it and popped it into the root of my SD card and it flashed the bootloader back to Hboot 0.80.0000. That should have been it, but all of the sudden the phone no longer boots into the Rom. All it does is to power on and then go into Fastboot. That's it! When I try putting the standard Virgin Rom back onto the SD it tries to load it and then says "Main Version is older!" "Update Fail!".
How do I get around this now? The phone doesn't boot, so I can't re-flash S-Off and start again, not am I able to run the stock Virgin Rom within Windows because it complains about the versions.
Is there any ways around this situation? I just want to get the phone back to stock so I can send it to Virgin and get it repaired.
P.S. I *have* used the search function and spent the last 4 hours testing various things but I'm now stuck.
Cheers Guys!

Well you obviously fckd up with the Downgrader, you should have run it first BEFORE RUU. Also did you flashed Stock Hboot prior to Downgrader? (if you used CM7 earlier)
I never played around with the hboot downgrading etc. so i wont be able to help you but im sure there is some workaround...
as your returning your phone anyway why don't you try the official HTC gingerbread update from the HTC developer site (sorry I don't have a link). It should return your phone to stock and when you get it back you need to use revolutionary to get s-off back. Also, there is a sticky from user bortac which has loads of help and trouble shooting advice.

Any advice that uses the 2.3.3 RUU to fix something is plain bad advice - it can just make your problem a LOT worse.
@OP Go onto my guide, look at RUU problems for help
What you need to do:
-Make a goldcard (there is a tutorial there)
-Flash the WWE RUU
Guys, upgrading to Gingerbread has actually brought the phone back from the dead! =) And I can now return it to Virgin to get it repaired properly. The symptoms are that while the phone is plugged in and charging, and I'm doing stuff (taxing the CPU), the phone will eventually simply rebooting itself. Just *BANG*! And it's gone. And once it starts it's a bit of a run-away thing and just keeps on doing it until you leave the phone alone for a bit. Virgin had a look at it and simply re-flashed it, thinking that they could away with that. Typical, overworked, non-creative call centre workers..... I'm well pissed off with them!
Gonna send it back next week and force them to swap the motherboard or something, cause this is a serious fault with the phone.
So I had to get a replacement Incredible because mine broke. My old one was fully rooted and s off. The replacement I got came with Gingerbread 2.3.4. I managed to get it rooted but not get s off. I have the latest clockworks recovery and can do backups etc. But I can't get s off.
I have been unable to use the downgrade method or do anything. But using a root checker it still shows I am rooted.
I felt pretty comfortable with the old phone swapping roms etc but now I feel like and idiot cause I just can't figure this out...LOL
Hope some of the experts can help/
The only way you can get s-off is with unrevoked forever. It requires an older radio from stock froyo. Since you cant flash a radio wile s-on the only way to get it would be to downgrade with the froyo ruu. There is a good thread in the q&a section i believe on how to downgrade from 2.3.4. Some have had success with it and others not so much.
EDIT: Here is the link

I have tried this method but can't seem to get it to work. When doing the commands there is one stage where it should push the file to the phone. I think this is where the problem is because it says 0k of XXXXX. Or whatever the total file size is.
I will play more I suppose.
i may need to go to bone stock for warranty purposes and then go s-on. if i flash the latest ruu (2.3.4) and then go to s-on (how do i go to s-on?) then can i get back to s-off if they actually fix my piece and send it back?
No. S-on via Clockworkmod, then flash 2.2 RUU. Then, when you want to root, use unrevoked
No need to go to newest stock, any stock with s-on should work. If they send you back an updated phone you can still downgrade and s-off from 2.3.4. Search forum for s-off and downgrade. It's doable - i've done it with help from here.
Just get the phone back to stock s-on. It doesn't matter if its 2.2 or 2.3 as long as its stock. They will send you a new phone that is updated already. Then to re root just downgrade and use unrevoked3

oh so with s-on i can downgrade using an ruu and then unrevoked it? i thought some updates could block root forever a.k.a. u cant downgrade anymore to unrevoke. guess i was wrong. gonna submit my claim to square trade soon. hope they send me an upgraded phone lol.. rezound would be nice.
Ya that would be nice but you will either get the original incredible or the incredible 2. Any ways, the original 2.2 downgrade should work. I have tried it my self and I don't see where people have problems. I bricked my phone really bad and had to install the actual bootloader. But point is I had no problems downgrading and rooting again. Let me know if it worked for you. It should since you have a bootloader still.
