[Q] Downgrade from 2.50.405.2

Hi people.
I realize that the usual response to threads like this is "read the forum" but I honestly have, I've tried several guides but I get no luck.
So if anyone would please help me out, it would be much appreciated and maybe helpful for others.
The way I've understood things is that I need to
1. Temproot
2. Downgrade using a goldcard.
Using this guide
HTML:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1152233
I think I've managed to temp root;
1. Temproot:

I do get kicked back to the command prompt, but if I type "adb shell" I do get the "#" that I'm supposed to be getting.
Right - so far so good, right?
2. Downgrade
As instructed in the guide, I run the commands as follows
C:\DHDDowngrade>adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
1288 KB/s (15837 bytes in 0.012s)
C:\DHDDowngrade>adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version

--set_version set. VERSION will be changed to: 1.31.405.3
Patching and backing up partition 17...
Error opening input file.
C:\DHDDowngrade>adb reboot bootloader​
There is an error here, but I haven't found anyone else having this problem, and don't even know if it really is a problem.
So I've ignored it, and continued on creating a coldcard.
I've tried using Goldcard manager from the market, I've tried retrieving the reverse CID manually. I've pasted the data from the generated image file onto the card and saved. A few times I've not been able to paste PD98IMG.zip on to the card afterwards, giving me the error that the card must be formatted to work, but lastly it would let me copy. If I try reading the card, I do get the error that the card has to be formatted. My HTC also tells me theres something wrong with the SD card. I've ignored this, and booted into the bootmanager. For a split second theres a green text saying something i along the lines of "PD98IMG image not found".
And so it ends, I can't get any further.
So the questions summarized are;
1.Is this the correct order?
2.Am I rooted, even if I have to type "adb shell" to get the "#"?
3.When dowgrading, is the "Error opening input file" fatal?
4.Is the card supposed to be unreadable after pasting the hex data onto it?
Sorry for the neverending post, but getting a custom rom onto my Desire HD has been very, very hard. Unsuccesful so far. Please help me out
Best regards from Norway.

Hi there noticed no one has replied I have plenty of time to help you out the best I can. I recently did this last week and had no problems. Im still learning myself so sorry if i am not the best of help.
wow long post
After skimming your post I did notice something. I pretty sure that you need to create a gold card first. If you still have problems creating a GoldCard get back to me but here is the link:
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-make-gold-card-for-htc-desire-hd/
I then followed this tutorial to downgrade:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
and then use the s-off tool :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537
hope that helps, get back to me if you need help.

I used these two guides when rooting my DHD, I also had to use a goldcard but the link for that is in the downgrade page below.
1. Downgrade
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
2. Root + Radio installation + Rom installation
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11557769
As far as I know, the two links above are the correct order, as long as you get the # its safe to proceed and the card should be usable after you make it into a goldcard, at least I still use mine. Oh, and you shouldn't receive any errors throughout the process, it might not be fatal but why take a chance.

Thanks to all of you for replying.
My head was spinning after going through different tutorials and problem solutions - and I had frankly given up the whole thing.
But TheJokaH's one-click method seemed intriguing so I decided to give this one.last.shot. And it worked!
I don't know why this isn't posted as the only sticky thread at the Q&A section - because is definitely the only way to get one started with custom roms.
Thanks again!

[Q] HTC Desire Z Temporary root has disappeared very quickly.

Hi, guys!
I've tried rooting my DesireZ using "Downgrading guide from gingerbread to froyo" (link was destroyed by forum rules)
It is really clear and easy to do guide. But I ran into a problem because I can't make a root backup after gaining Temporary root on HTC DESIRE Z (2.42.405.2). When fixsu.sh ends I am starting "Root check basic" app and it has show me the result is OK. Then I starts MyBackupPro. The first time it shows me new menu item with root operations, but after that it refusing do anything instead of message "There is no properly root access". Titanium Backup behaves in the same way: it properly starts, but does not work with system applications. The only step in the guide I have missed is "Changing version number", but I think the problem is not the case, is it true? Could you tell me please, what may be a reason?
I really fear to begin change the ROM before to have full backup...

Try a full power off. turn the phone off, pull the battery out for a minute, then turn it back on and retry the temp-root.
Sometimes the 'fastboot' feature of sense roms messes with the temp-root.

how can i instal instal official froyo to my 2.3.3

i was able to download stock froyo from HTC but i don't know how to instal it in my 2.3.3 Gingerbread version.
also i don't understand this instructions attached to firmware
Please follow below command to download the official android toolchain: (arm-eabi-4.4.3)
git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/prebuilt
NOTE: the tool ¡¥git¡¦ will need to be installed first; for example, on Ubuntu, the installation command would be: apt-get install git
--Modify the .bashrc to add the toolchain path, like bellowing example:
PATH=/usr/local/share/toolchain-eabi-4.4.3/bin:$PATH

Are you rooted with s-off? If not you must do this first if you want to easily change between roms. actually to properly root and obtain true s-off one of the steps will be to downgrade to stock froyo, follow the xda or cyanogen wiki to get there

This is your first error message. All following commands fail because of this. You cannot simply continue when one step is executed with error. You have to fix it and then continue.
The reason for the error message is simple. There is no such file as 'fre3vo' in the directory ‘C:\Documents and Settings\Patrolscsn’. Copy the file 'fre3vo' in this directory or change current directory to one where the file is located. If you don’t know how, then you should probably stop trying to root your device.

the fre3vo is in the directory!!!!!

Yes, the file fre3vo is in the directory:
C:\platform-tools
But your current directory is (the directory where you execute the commands):
C:\Documents and Settings\Patrolscsn
Execute this command to change your current directory:
cd C:\platform-tools
Good luck, you'll definitely need it

Hold shift and right click in the folder where fre3vo and fastboot.exe etc, then choose open command here
Now start from the begining

Thanks so much for the tip, finally after two weeks of searching how to get the magical // sign, I got it I’m ever grateful.:victory:
Please I want to upgrade my HTC sense, but I have no idea which custom sense is good for htc desire Z (I would have preferred sense 4.0 but sense 3.0 looks ok) which one should I go for?
Also which of the custom rom of ICS is best for desire z :highfive:

You’re welcome.
I’m not a big fan of Sense, but I would go for Sense 4, since it is more "lightweight" (consumes less storage and CPU) than Sense 3.x. You also have to distinguish between Sense 4.0 and Sense 4.0A which is even more lightweight.
Remember that our device has no official support from HTC, so all ICS ROMs are not perfect. You will notice some glitch here and there, but everything is getting better and better. Some ROMs are pretty stable thought, for example Andromadus Mimicry (which is based on Cyanogenmod 9.1). If you can live without Sense I would recommend you this ROM.
Here are some links to ROMs:
Cyanogenmod 9.1 - Andromadus Mimicry
Sense 4.0A - Gen.Y VisionX
Sense 4.0 - Ice Cream SENSEwich

is my phone bricked?

[Q] Rooting, pushed file not found?!?

Hey all! Desperately seeking help here: I'm rooting my MyTouch 3g slide, and have successfully completed all the steps up to this point where I need to run "rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin" from the devices "/data/local/tmp/" folder. The previous steps are as follows from cyanogen's wiki page:
"On the computer, open terminal and run the following commands:"
Code:
adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp/
adb shell
chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
/data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin

Click to collapse
All of these with the exception of the last line are successful. After running chmod 755, I typed the following:
Code:
ls -l /data/local/tmp/
I get the following result:
Code:

but finally, entering
Code:

I get
