Downgrade help

I am following these steps
http://theunlockr.com/2011/07/22/how-to-downgrade-a-gingerbread-t-mobile-g2-so-it-can-be-rooted/
I typed /data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start FBA90000 -end FFFFFFFF
it then says exploiting device and then goes back to C:\androidsdk\tools and I never get the # command prompt. Looking for advice on what to do next.
Thanks in advance.

Did you retry 'adb shell' when it sends you back to C:\androidsdk\tools?
Cause the exploit is meant to kick you out of shell, then you have to go back in it.

That guide is for removing eng hboot, if you have eng hboot, there would be easier ways to remove it.
You need to get a root shell to proceed.
You could get help faster if you went to the #g2root channel on freenode irc [link]

I went to that page and got no help . I was wondering if you could look over my steps before I attempt this any further, does this look like it will work.

---- Also if the above process looks good can my next command be the following
$ adb push PC10IMG_Vision_TMOUS_1.19.531.1_Radio_12.21.60.09b _26.02.01.15_M2_release_149459_signed.zip /sdcard/PC10IMG.zip ????

Yeah should be working.
If no one responds immediatly in irc just wait a bit. It's not the most active channel, but someone will come along to help.
I'm not sure why it's not working for you.

Actually everything worked up till this command
$ adb push PC10IMG_Vision_TMOUS_1.19.531.1_Radio_12.21.60.09b_26.02.01.15_M2_release_149459_signed.zip /sdcard/PC10IMG.zip
when I did that it said "file not found" I do believe. So I then tried $ adb push PC10IMG.zip /sdcard/PC10IMG.zip and I got the same error.
I have both the PC10IMG_Vision_TMOUS_1.19.531.1_Radio_12.21.60.09b_26.02.01.15_M2_release_149459_signed.zip and PC10IMG.zip in the androidsdk\tools folder so this should work right? not sure why I am getting file not found.
Thanks for all you help also I am also there I can feel it

You can use the TAB key to auto-complete file names, so you can make sure you're not misspelling anything.
Make sure the adb push command is done in a C:\> prompt, not $/# (push before adb shell)

Ok, now I'm confused because this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912 has this command under the "downgrade" section.
$ adb push PC10IMG_Vision_TMOUS_1.19.531.1_Radio_12.21.60.09b_26.02.01.15_M2_release_149459_signed.zip /sdcard/PC10IMG.zip
$ adb reboot bootloader
That seems to me they are saying to do adb push from the $ command.

[Q] downgrade problem

I tried to root my Desire Z running Andorid 2.2.1 by following guide on Cyanogen wiki.
Since my software version is 1.82.405.1 I had to downgrade it first. I gained temporary root but when I reboot to bootloader and try to flash PC10IMG.zip it start loading but It fails when cheking file. I'm sure I downloaded it correctly because I checked md5. What am I doing wrong, or have I missed something?

Try fastboot, very easy (just rename the file,look at the wiki)! It's really easy, I downgraded and rooted in about one hour.

I also have problems with downgrading. I'm currently using stock 2.3.4 on my G2. When I try to downgrade it to 1.19.531.1 using the guide from CyanogenMod Wiki I face a problem. When I insert this line "/data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start FAA90000 -end FFFFFFFF" into cmd it says: "/data/local/tmp/fre3vo: not found"
How can I fix this?

...follow this guide (temp root & downgrade):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912
...for perm root use the wiki:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...sion#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD
EDIT: @kepos: you may need a goldcard / @Isstatu1: you first need to push fre3vo to data/... and then chmod 777 it...

I push the fre3vo and it shows a lot of text in cmd. then I write "adb shell", everything works, the $ sign appear, then I write the "chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo" part, it says: "Usage: chmod <MODE><FILE>". After that i write "/data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start FAA90000 -end FFFFFFFF" and it says that fre3vo is not found..

If you type adb devices, your device is listed?
What does it show if you push fre3vo? ...because as far as i remember it should only show you how long it took to push

Yes it shows my device.
Now, when I type "> adb shell cat /dev/msm_rotator"
it shows
/dev/msm_rotator: not found"
Nvm the underline part, it works now. But still having problems with fre3vo..
Can I PM you?

sure you can
EDIT: where did you put the fre3vo file on your pc? because either you have to put the files you want to push directly into the adb tool folder or you have to tell adb where it is...

Put the fre3vo file (and all the rest of the files needed) in the same folder as adb.exe on your computer, also make sure to extract then (don't leave them in .zip format)

i exracted fre3vo file into the same folder with adb.exe i discovered that the fre3vo file from xda & the fre3vo file from strawmetal are not of the same size. please can u give me a link to download a good fre3vo or most importantly another way to downgrade to frozen yorugot:crying:

Just go to the xda wiki, all the files are there along with the md5sums for each file needed. You can check to see if yours match (just google search if you don't know how) you must have gotten a bad download, it happens

please i don't understand, do you mean i can root my stock 2.3.3 without downgrading to froy?

As spelled out in the wiki you will have to downgrade first, it doesn't take long to do so don't worry about it. The whole process takes about 15min, but leave yourself an hour in case you get stuck. Really its pretty straight forward

[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 expand...
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:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5392 Aug 25 2010 rageagainstthecage-arm5
.bin
but finally, entering
Code:
/data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
I get
Code:
/sbin/sh: /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin: not found
It's there. I don't get it. Heeeelllpp meeeeeeee

If you're not going to helpful, PLEASE don't even bother in posting

When I got mine S-OFF, I used this set of commands:
adb reboot <--important!!!!
adb wait-for-device push firewater /data/local/tmp
adb shell
chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/firewater
su
/data/local/tmp/firewater
Type them in exactly as they are above chmod first, then su, then run firewater.
At least, that's what worked for me after trying su then chmod like 50 times with no success.
