This phone was not rooted, htc upgraded it to 2.3 and I'm getting errors downgrading, and ideas?

You need to provide more details...
1. By what means did you get it?
2. Did you root the phone?
3. Do you have a warranty?
4. What kind of error?
5. A screenshot perhaps?
Explain your problem more in detail, also I think this is the wrong section for that. check the general questions section.
cant downgrade 2.3, you are stuck on there till there is a new root for it sorry
You tried using a gold card to downgrade it?
When did T-Mobile send the upgrade
Also I think this is in the wrong section

Wrong section. You should either be posting in the QA section, or one of the root threads with the error you get.
When was gb released? My sister hasn't gotten it yet.

but is the OTA for gingerbread being pushed to those who arent rooted yet?
Got the phone on craigs list the previous owner sent it in for repair for hinge issue and got it back with 2.3. The phone isn't rooted. I like 2.3 but prefer my freedom. I'm at work and can't recall the error but I can push the files with adb but get the error when I run adb shell p.... I did the goldcard. I'm thinking I'm stuck, but ill give it another shot later

Meanwhile, those of us with root have had Gingerbread for a couple months now. If it's not available OTA, it's not officially available.

yup i have it too as well not a big deal, no its not OFFICIAILY OUT, but the Official stock rom is here to flash for those that want to try, this is the latest one and most likely gonna be pushed out.
as my sig shows i have one g2 rooted running cm7 and my other on stock gingerbread no root or s-off
as well this Leaked officail rom was able to fix those that had soft bricks and could not unbrick
and everyone knows to do that the roms have to be signed officialy by htc/tmobile

Still kind of up in the air as to what's going on. It is locked, without a doubt. I personally believe they will push out an update or a way to unlock it. Like they said they would. I just think they already had it together before it got pushed out.

Don't be a tool and download the OTA Update!
If you like HTC Sense, there is a Rooted Stock GB Rom in the Development Section.
If you want the OTA GB, I'll trade you my phone for yours AS IS. That way I can still do ROM's.

NEVER DOWNLOAD AN OTA! EVER! Not if u like root & running new roms & free tether that is....if not, go head, have a blast! lol But seriously, they usually have things in them that prevent & block root if u update. ALWAYS get roms & updates from the forums or other creditable forums/sources...
Or if you want 100% stock, just don't flash S-On zip file and you can take the OTA update and go back and forth if desired, just make sure it shows S-Off in bootloader and you're all good.
I have a rooted htc desire, with stock rom, but with clockworkmod. Today, I received a notification that a new ota update is out. I understand that I will lose my root, but is it safe to update through ota? Will it replace the custom recovery?
I already have problems with cwm. It doesn't work... it says that it can't mount cache, and I can't flash anything with it, nor make a factory data reset.
Is there a risk my phone will get bricked?
I really want this 3.0 update.
So...is it safe to update?

Download the update first. Before installing it, upload it here and let's have a look at it. Btw, its highly unlikely that the update is 3.0

This is a rooted OTA update for 2.29.405.5 which upgrades it to 2.29.405.14. To be applied by people who've rooted their phones, but havent applied any custom rom. It's a collection of binary patches for 2.29.405.5 firmware. Applying it should be safe in the sense that it shouldnt disturb your recovery/kernel.
This has not been tested on my phone, and hence is an alpha at the moment. Follow usual precautions like taking Nandroid backup before applying.

Thanks, anything juicy in that OTA?
No way to know unless someone installs it and sees. There should have been been a description in the original OTA notice.

I would suggest going into the Galaxy Nexus forums and looking for your stock recovery.
There will be folks there with the same device and issues you are having that can more specifically help you with that.
You are in the Verizon HTC One forums.
We don't have a 4.3 OTA yet and no files from our device will help you.
Surely there are lots of folks willing and able to help in the proper device forum though.
Good luck!

You're right, I should have paid closer attention before posting.
Assuming the update does come soon, and I get impatient, how would I go about returning to stock/unrooted in order to receive it OTA? (I'm stock, rooted, s-on)
Short story, you need to restore a non-root backup and the restore to stock recovery. The version of stock and the recovery need to match. Also I believe ( but could be wrong ) the version will match the hboot that you have. This is why before you root, you grab a copy of the ROM and recovery and save them.

The update will fail. OTA the updates from T-mobile need to have you on the non-rooted, non-modified stock ROM with stock recovery installed that matches the version of the ROM.
That is why before I installed TWRP - copy the recovery and ROM and note the version in the filename. Also because I run stock more often than I run rooted, custom ROM, etc. I usually leave the stock recovery inplace and use the command 'fastboot boot twrp.img' command to boot into TWRP. This way I use TWRP but not have to restore my stock recovery when needed.

How do I revert back to the normal recovery? I installed the custom recovery to root the phone.
When the update rolls out I will need to unroot and reinstall the normal recovery?
