How to downgrade to 1.32
HTC - Quietly S-OFF. Again.​
About:
The problems started when HTC released their 1.72.405.3 OTA update. That update could not be rooted, and many people got stuck in stock roms. Now a downgrade method has arrived! After this process, you can use any root (+ S-OFF) method you want. Basically your device will be just like any other Desire HD with older build version.
System requirements:
HTC Sync (or ADB drivers)
Desire HD with build number 1.72 or higher
How to downgrade:
IF you have a branded device, you have to make a Goldcard. Use "mmc2" instead of "mmc1"!!
Download the attached file and extract it
Get stock 1.32 PD98IMG.zip ROM
Connect Desire HD to a computer. Charge only, USB Debugging enabled!
Open up a cmd and go to Downgrade folder, execute:
If you got "#" in the result, you have temproot! Proceed:
Put PD98IMG.zip to your SD card. You can close the cmd and set connection to disk drive.
Reboot while holding volume down, it will go to the bootloader
Follow the instructions
Done. You can now proceed with old S-OFF methods, and remove the PD98IMG.zip from your SD. I recommend Radio S-OFF for new users.

Works the same way to just put stock Rom on and failing that just run the 1.32.405.6 ruu on your pc it should do it for you as the I did it when I started from scratch

I have a very good suggestion for you...Flash ARHD 2.0.9 (or any other custom roms you like)...forget HTCs ROM. You will love your DHD in that way...and your phone will be more happy and more yours!!!

thank you bro for your reply i am already runing 1.32 rom on my DHD !! so can still go with the method you send me still? thank you so much bro

thank you man for the suggestion you gave me ... but i really want first to get the stock rom or even learn how to flash with my dhd . best regards and god bless

hello again i just wanted to say that today i tried to turn the fastboot and i downloaded an stock rom : 1.32 then put it on the sd card and enter the bootloader then update ... it worked great and everything went back to normal exept that i dont have the amazonmp3 app ???? i dunno why ? and i went into setting and tried to get the software update while searching it poped up with : your phone is up to date , there are no updates availablee for your phone ..... please anyone could explain to me why=?

[Q] dhd roms

hi all
ok so i have downgraded, used radio s off. tool, and done clockwork mod using rom manager from app store. now all i need is a 2.3 rom. (recomended) i downloaded a rom using rom manager but im not getting anywere. what next.. i know im nearly there.. please help... oh titanum is awsum backed up all system and app data..
it says download started in rom manager but nothing downloads.. (coredroid)
been pulling my hair out past 2 nights

It's better if you just choose the rom from this list and download it from the links in their respective threads rather than rom manager. You will have less problems and always get the newest update. Use this guide to flash.

hi, i got my DHD few weeks ago & couple of days ago i successfully installed ARHD 4.0 beta 4 sense rom on my DHD exactly as the way it has been instructed on the specific thread. everything is running smoothly, good battery life without using any battery saver programs like juicedefender, greenpower.
now i was thinking about trying the ARHD 3.3 rom as it is overclocked to 1.22ghz. how can i install that on my DHD? do i have to downgrade anything? or i can just download the rom & use rom manager to install it?
thnx in advance for the help.

hi al...
sorry cant help, you could start a thread of your own though... sorry but its whats called hijaking... maybe 1 of the mods will say the same..
thanks

so as well as radio s off i need eng s off.. arnt they the same... the guide you put is confusing...
thanks

If you've read the thread you would have noticed this:
jkoljo said:
What's the difference to other methods?
First of all, this is easy. The steps are straightforward, you do not need to tinker with complicated command line stuff. Radio S-OFF is the way these devices are meant to be made S-OFF, it is a safe way. If you use this method, reverting to stock is very easy! Unfortunately without ENG bootloader (my other tool) you cannot use fastboot commands (advanced stuff) and, for example, my Kernel Update Utility. To make a raw comparison, this tool is for everybody including new users and the eng hboot S-OFF version is for enthusiasts. Many experienced users have both, because having both allows supreme flexibility.
I recommend to use Radio S-OFF instead of traditional bootloader ENG S-OFF, because this can be more easily removed and is much much safer!

So no eng s-off and radio s-off aren't the same, but they're as easy to do. Eng s-off isn't necessary so you can decide if you want it or not.

so to be clear
im rooted , recovery installed i have s off using radio..
i dont need eng s off.
i can download and install a rom now.
also in the guide it mentions flashing a radio.. whats this..
thanks

Flashing radio is when you change the "firmware" for the module that handles all the wireless data (mobile network, wifi etc). This is done to improve signal strength and battery life with newer radio version. It isn't necessary either, but if you have poor signal strength and battery life it could help. Here is a guide for the procedure. This is probably the riskiest part to flash (it can brick your phone), but if you do everything exactly as the guide says there should be no problems.
For this you need eng s-off

so no need for radio... just download rom Android Revolution HD - 4G 4.0 beta4.
put on sd card and flash... is that it... oh sorry wat and were is the full wipe zip...
thanks for this.

Flash full wipe before flashing the rom, here's the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=868720

well ive done it. Android Revolution HD - 4G 4.0 beta4. is now installed.
what are peoples thoughts on this rom.
in titanium would restoring system and app data be dangerous, should it be apps only.
ive downloaded set cpu.. to speed things up..
i must say the extra bits and bobs from the stock rom ie apps page, all apps, frequent apps, and downloaded. is a good idea..
any other ideas which are a must... even a recomended rom.
thanks
p.s can i do s off to s on now...

anyone.. can i do s off now ive flashed

Just keep it s-off as it should be now, no need to change it.

If u are S-OFF then u can downgrade to 2.36 by using the RUU version then root ur device,
edit:- i´ve done it more than 3times after updating from 2.36 to 2.50 "OTA" (believe me u can)
U can get the 2.36 ruu here:-

So,if i'm novice and i don't have s-off with 2.50 only thing i can do is wait for downgrade?is that right?

Trivial Question
I have a trivial question, I am very interested in rooting using this method, however I have recently encountered an issue with my stock rom ever since I did the OTA update to 2.43.611.1 The issue is HTC Sence has stopped unexpectedly window pops up quite often & in talking to telus my provider & HTC them selves, they both say the phone needs to be repaired,
My question since I encountered the problem immediatly upon doing the OTA update should I get it repaired first or just try rooting to see if that fixes it.
Also if possible can I be pointed in the direction of how to return to stock Telus if I end up rooting & the probelm still persists?
My thanks to thoes who have diligently be working & involved in helping others & myself reach root status on higher Build numbers.
Great Work!

The reason you're getting the error after the ota update is the same reason why people get issues after installing custom roms and not wiping their device... the old cache and user data conflicts with the update.
Downgrading and then flashing a custom rom along with flashing an updated radio will remedy the problem. I dont believe you'll want to use the initial radio release, I highly recommend flashing the radio from the 2.52 korean release to your Telus DHD, along with the ril's from that release and replacing the ones in the rom you will flash via cwm recovery. ENG S-OFF is required to flash a new radio or recovery img.
Once you downgrade, you can always return to the stock 2.43.661.1 rom. There is a thread in the Desire HD/Inspire 4G Forum on Driphter.com where I've placed the RUU's of common builds (especially for Telus and AT&T). If returning the device for warranty purposes, you must Radio S-On prior to Installing the stock rom via the RUU. The RUU Itself will set ENG to SHIP, and unroot.

Excellent, Greatly appreciated.
Might try rooting as soon as tonight. Kind of excited to have a functional device again!

I am glad that it worked, i thought OH **** the other day, when i found out that i shouldn't have updated to 2.50, if i was about to root..
Big thanks to you JSL, nice work, and easy tuturial!!
I can see that in /HTC ACE TOOLKIT
is a splash screen changer, and a boot animation changer.. how do i use them?

Cheers guys I will try that downgrade guide. Just a note though. The file fize of the version of HTC Sync for the Desire HD I'm downloading is 66.6MB. I hope that isn't an omen for this to go horrendously wrong

some help needed

Hello, so i have a HTC dhd which i rooted following a guide on here using the root method via htc site (sorry i cant remember the actual links)
That all worked well and flashed with clockwork mod and running with cyanogenmod 7.2.0
Since then i got a little bored and wanted to try some other custom roms, tried blackice, leedroid, paranoid android and a few others. All of which failed to actually run. Installed fine but would sit on Tmobile screen for 30+ mins.
So i then had a read a bit more and thought maybe i need s-off, tried that using AHK and that fails due too some problem flashing radio.
I cant flash any other radio either (or not ones i have been able to find).
Figured maybe ill try and install a stock RUU which i have 4 different versions.
RUU_Tube_HTC_Generic_1.11.0.0_Radio__release_203247_signed
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_TMO_UK_2.12.110.4_R_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_157560_signed
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.10.405.2_R_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_142828_signed
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8_Radio_32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed
all of these either fail to even start the install or get stuck at 18% and then end up with a failed updating ruu screen.
So im kind of stuck with cyanogenmod 7 at the moment and hence why i am here.
Hopefully its something dumb that i have or haven't done and will be easy to fix. At the moment id like to just return to sense rom and keep root.
Ace PVT ship s-on rl
HBOOT-2.00.0029
MICROP - 0438
Radio-26.14.04.28_m
Anything else you might need to know ill try and find it.
If anyone can help me get a working sense rom actually working or even return to stock so i can start again i would be greatfull.
Sorry if i have done something completely noobish.

try suing ace hack kit u can find it on the forums i had problems and used it now i can use any custom rom . just be sure that u turn ur virus checker off when u download , unpack and use it as it identifies 1 of the files as a virus , it isnt and wont harm ur comp but the file is needed to give u s-off hope this helps

hey thanks for the reply, i have tried ace hack kit (AHK) via ubuntu. Gives me an error of failed to downgrade radio, check cable, possible goldcard error. (or something similar to that)

If you used the htcdev, you need to relock the bootloader.
Sent from a dream.

if i rember rightly thres a gold card creator in the hack kit , my dhd was unbranded so i was lucky i didnt have to use it either that or look up making a gold card for dhd u should find 1 about i know when i was first rootin my dhd i made one but didnt need it

ill try that. i knew it would be something dumb that i hadnt or had done. hopefully this fixes it. thanks

so i tried to relock it which worked and then ran the hack kit again which froze after said it had downgraded radio. only thing i could do was battery out and reboot which then left me with a red ! managed to reflash clockworkmod but now every rom i try freezes on tmobile screen and im still s-on and all the same settings as i had before.
At the moment unable to use my phone as i cant get any roms to work.

You are gonna have to wait for someone more knowledgable to help you out.
On a side note: the ace hack kit was just pulled out from xda due to..... well, it's a long story. I don't know if the hack kit is a standalone program or if it connects to a server to do it's magic. Hold on to the program for now and wait for muikkuman (did I get your name right this time? ) glevitan and a few others.
Edit: do a search for your issue. It's there somewhere. I'll try to help you when I have a chance.

rooting
You need s-off to load roms. google how to make a gold card manually. it's fairly simple. boot into recovery and do a full wipe. then try to run AHK.

it was rooted, and running cyanogenmod fine. But thats all i could run until yesterday when it turns out that i had some eMMc problem which seems to have killed my phone. Back to htc it goes i guess and hope they can fix it

The RUUs that u are using are not for the DHD...HTC Bravo is desire but not Desire HD...if you flashed that, then you probably messed the device.

I dont think i ever actually flashed that one, the tmobile one for the desire hd froze at 18% and every custom rom never worked (ones for desire hd which i got from the desire hd forum here)
cyanogen mod did work until yesterday when i used AHK which seemed to have caused more issues than anything useful.
after some digging on here i found that the eMMC 'fried chip' was the problem and following some tips on how to fix it never worked. Took it to tmobile today said that i was trying to install a update from the htc site and it froze so they are sending it off to be fixed (hopefully)

[HELP] Problems with Desire after recovery

Hi guys,
I´ve got a stock Desire with Android 2.2.2. (OTA update some two years ago). Some days ago I noticed my camera was not working nor did the flashlight app. After turning off and on the device a couple of times the flashlight started working again but not the camera. Trying to fix what I thought might be a software problem I went into Hboot menu and into recovery and selected reboot. Nothing seemed to have changed until i noticed my battery was only lasting for 4 or 5 hours when it used to last at least 1,5 days. Also, I just noticed my 3G mobile network connection is not working either.
How may I correct this? I've already tried a factory reset but without success. I was just looking at an youtube video from a XDA member about flashing RUU's and thought that it might do it. Is there a difference between flashing a RUU and a factory reset? I'm not very confortable doing it as I've never rooted or flashed any device, but I'm willing to take the chance...
Thanks for your support...

Flashing a ruu is basically reinstalling the stock firmware. Factory resetting is just wiping the data on the phone.
If you want to flash a ruu, check my sig. Download the 2.3 ruu. Don't change the zip name. Take the zip and put it on the root of your sd-card, and boot in hboot. Then select "yes" and wait.
This will upgrade your firmware to Android 2.3.3, which is faster than froyo, but it will wipe all your internal data.

merante ridicule
Thank you for your reply.
Now it´s clearer to me. Factory reset doesn't correct any system issues.
I already found the RUU i currently have on my phone, but maybe I could upgrade to 2.3. Does the RUU in your sig work for my Desire?
My data are:
Andriod version: 2.2.2.
Baseband: 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
Kernel: 2.6.32.15-gfa401c
Software number: 2.29.405.14
Just a small update concerning the battery issue: it seems to be the battery itself which is the problem. I installed a new one last night and now battery behaviour is back to normal. I will try the old one again though, in order to be sure it's gone.

The ruu in my sig works for your desire. It actually works for almost every Bravo on the market.

Thank you once again.
I just managed to correct my 3G problem also. I didn't restore the network definitions after the factory reset (didn't know I had to or how it is done ), but after a quick call to tech support it is fixed.
Now I will probably give the RUU update a try and also root and s-off (must resaerch a little more - XDA forum has tones of good info :good...

In my sig, there's a Desire All Root guide. Check it out.

Hi, some developments and more help needed
Followed the guides above and now my Desire is rooted, s-offed using revolutionary and 4ext recovery is installed and I've partitioned my new 32 GB sdcard with 2GB ext4. Sadly, I've not updated to android 2.3.3 with the PB99IMG RUU, so I'm still with the 2.2.2.
But, even after sd partition, my available internal memory has not increased. What do I have to do to install all new apps on the sd?
If I update now for 2.3.3. using PB99IMG will I lose root and s-off? If I have to flash a new rom, which do you suggest? I'm used to the stock htc sense and don't really want to upgrade unless I have to.
I would really appreciate any suggestions...
Tks.

Don't use the RUU. You will lose root and s-off. Just install a custom rom, and your storage will increase.
