Develop Bugs

[Q] Need help

First of all i wan't to apologise because there's probably a thread about this somewhere, but ill be honest i searched and googled a lot and only got more confused. I am really lost in the terminology and everything that is availbale on this forum so i'm just going to ask here and hope for a simple answer.
I have an unbranded unlocked HTC Desire, which i rooted to the Nexus One 2.2 froyo. Now i want to go back to stock 2.1 htc sense so i can update it to 2.2. I can't use the stock roms because htc sync doesn't recognize my phone. so im kinda lost and don't know what to do.
Is it possible to do it? and if it is possible, then can some one please explain in a simple step-by-step form how to do it.
Thank you in advance!

Im pretty sure you can just extract the rom.zip from an ruu and flash it from recovery

Hello,
first of all, before doing something wrong
screen AMOLED or SLCD?
HBoot ? to check the Hboot vol.down+power
U can downgrade to 2.1 (HBoot 0.80) using a SAPPIMG there´s a thread in the forum explaining how to do it, but first check your screen type first...
If it´s AMOLED like mine i can post the RUU i used to unroot the phone and get the Froyo2.2

it's AMOLED
hboot version 0.80.0000

Ok so was mine, so i runned this RUU:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...3.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed.exe
then did the OTA update

i have froyo 2.2 already on it.
will this take me back to the 2.1 htc sense?

just tried it, getting an error that the phone is not connected to the usb. and it obviously is

Why is it precisely that you wish to revert back to HTC 2.1 then to HTC 2.2 again?
You can currently flash HTC 2.2 ROMs directly, which have HTC sync working. They are different to the Google/AOSP FroYo ROMs on many accounts, most paramount with the addition of HTC Sense.

Thank you everyone for your help and use full comments. I ended up using the guide from the desire development forum, its under "[TUT]Complete upgrading guide(root, unroot, flashing ROM & updates)" sorry i cant post links yet. . It is very easy and noobie friendly.
I downgraded to the stock htc desire 2.1 and updated with the official 2.2.
Now i have 2 issues with it:
car mode enables itself every 10 mins or so even if i switch it off.
and some websites reload themselves in 10 or so seconds after loading them.
any ideas?
Thanks

Well i wanted to downgrade to 0.80 but i need a goldcard, and i tried with 3 different sdcard, none worked.

Unbelievable, EddyOS had resolved my problem even without replying. I have tried a final ruu the one that EddyOS has on his desire. And hell happened. It worked. Thanks Eddy, Thanks.

Bonus!!
Glad to hear it!!

Can't s-off alpharev

Hi guys I'm trying to s-off using alpharev ISO disc...it goes through the process then after rebooting stage 3 I get 4 lines that say unary operator expected ... I shut down pc and phone boots as usual...
I'm running rxmix s v1.1

maybe change to stock ROM and try s-off again

Yes like the post above switch to a ROOTED stock froyo rom worked for me, the reason your getting errors is because the rom you are running has probably got data2whatever, data++ ect... this affects the alpha rev process.

Ditto above. Alpharev doesn't work on a2sd or similar ROMs... Look back a couple pages and you'll see I started a thread with the same issue. I'm on IC GB a2sd+...
Once pc is repaired, I plan to load stock Telstra RUU and try again, then re-root...

First, you better use USB stick instead of a disc, it is faster a more reliable.
Secondly, you won't be able to get s-off unless you flash either stock rom or AOSP rom ( oxygen worked for me without any problems).

Hi folks. Writing this without any hope that someone is online at the moment.
I'm currently using alpharev to flash HBOOT on my htc desire. It has stucked on step 3 with two lines on phone's screen:
Aplharev SPLBOOT version 2.0
...
Normal NAND detected. Non-PVT4
and keeps hanging like that nearly an hour already.
The phone is rooted, with Clockworkmod recovery and InserCoin 2.0.1 DATA2EXT ROM installed.
Did anybody have the same behaviour while flashing HBOOT?
Should I be patient and wait for some miracle to happen?
thanks in advance.

Are you S-Off already??

use the new S-OFF utility. It's a lot quicker and easier. Just make sure you uninstall HTC Sync, or at least make sure it isn't running.

try it with the new utility.. it should work for you..

finally I've restored my previous ROM (and sh*tted a pile of bricks during this hour).
HBOOT screen says that my device is still S-ON. strange... maybe that's because of 'DATA2EXT' ROM onboard.

You won't be able to alter HBoot without S-Off...
I am not sure how the new Utility that bortak linked to works, but I know that the "old" alpharev will not S-Off if you are using A2SD/D2SD/D2EXT type ROMs. You will need to flash stock RUU (do not use latest GB update RUU!!!), or one of the AOSP ROMs, such as Oxygen, before proceeding.
Once you have S-Off, you can go back and re-root, then upgrade your HBoot etc.

thanks. I'll follow your advice.
I'm still wondering, why TUT-makers didn't mention this A2SD/D2SD/D2EXT ROMs inconsistency.
I think this should be written in large letters on the first line for noobs like me

Lol, you're right on that!!
If you look on alpharev site, it is mentioned in the text, but VERY small!
Requirements:
The only requirement right now is that the ROM you're running is rooted.
As techniques such as 'data2ext' have been popping up, these might disturb our finely-tuned flashing process.
Please revert to a rooted stock ROM if possible. Your /data partition is used for temporary storage of important files.

I missed it the first time also, had lots of dramas, and finally spotted that note after many frustrating hours. It should have been written in bright red, 72 cap at the top of screen!!

You need to use an a2sd Rom like lee Droid 2.5.
Alpha rev state this at start of web page using data2sd can cause problems.
Flash lee Droid 2.5 and try it again, you should be fine
Kind regards

It is being said on Alpharev website under "requirements".
Though I agree it should be said in tutorials too.

[Q] Rooting HTC Desire Android 2.3

How i can root my HTC Desire with official Gingerbread.
AlphaRev18 and unrEVOked (last) dont work.
P.S. Excuse me for my English.
THANKS

you can't. Could try 2.2 RUU to revert back to Froyo and then root.

He can't revert back to Froyo as the Hboot have been upgraded.
Your kinda stuck till someone bring a rooting method or something like that!

i cant downgrade because my hboot version is 1.02.
and its not suported with my Froyo ruu.
What can i do?

Wait until there is a way to root or S-OFF your phone..... if that day will ever come.

hi, what do you think, when will root?

Fantastic! Just switched for a sec to new ROM from my favorite MIUI. . I'm sick seeing old Sense
No shell or DHD method will work?

[SOLVED (HELP)] Need help with downgrading

hi, I just got DHD instead of my old Desire, which I rooted with no problems. I am not novice, and I wouldn't ask you all for help, but i really don't know, how to downgrade it. I found some tutorials, BUT THEY DON'T WORK!!! I dont know why, but when i'm trying flashing PD98IMG.ZIP via bootloader, after checking PD98IMG.ZIP, it says "error, main version is older"... I have GOLDCARD and i have always follow the instructions!!! precisely!!!!!
When i try downgrade via cmd and adb, after checking those things, it says no # but $..and thats wrong!!!
visionary or gingerbreak dont work with this version, i think...
Android 2.3.5 ; HTC sense 3.0 ; software number 3.13.110.4 ; radio 12.65.60.29U_26.14.04.28_M
please help me.

Do you got S-OFF?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using xda premium

Try downloading one of the RUUs from here. Just boot your phone to the bootloader screen and plug it in then run the correct one for your phone. If you can boot into a ROM you can also do that, then plug in your phone, and run the RUU. It will give you all the instructions. BTW codename for HTC Desire HD/Inspire 4G is ACE. So get one of those RUUs:
Edit notice I can't post outside links cause I'm under 10 posts.
Just google "Shipped Roms HTC Ace"
