[Guide] Downgrade Hboot .98 (Noob Terms)

I see a lot of people are having trouble downgrading from .98 HBoot, I was also one of those people.
For people that keep getting "error 43" or "error 99" this could potentially fix your problem.
First, I followed this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1298990&highlight=downgrade
Then, I watched this video because sometimes seeing someone do it visually helps me out a little more.
http:// http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DCgIYFGcVimU&v=CgIYFGcVimU&gl=US
For some reason, even after following these two things, I was still getting those errors. I decided to move the script file (vwhk folder) out of the C:/ location to the actual Platform-tools folder, located in Android-SDK folder.
For me its, C:/android-sdk/platform-tools
Finally, after taking all these steps, I did some more digging around and found out that putting the phone into the bootloader through ADB is what I needed to do, if the regular way wasn't working.
To do this, simply type in "adb reboot bootloader".
Then take the steps to to run the script.
This is what I typed in. (It maybe different for you depending how you have it set up.)
1. cd c:\
2. cd android-sdk
3. cd platform-tools
4. vwhk (hit tab, as it will auto-fill)
5. hack (hit tab again)
6. Sit back and enjoy.

What firmware you on? If it's 6.01.605.05, use the Tacoroot method here.

Follow the steps exactly. I've done two phones, one with new firmware and one with old and had no problems.

Sorry I couldn't help you, I'm new this stuff. You never answered if your firmware version is 6.01.605.05. If it is lower tacoroot won't work. That's the only thing I know to check.

I think the prob is this right here.......
"When you get to a screen with a red exclamation mark, press VolUp+Power until you get to a menu, then press VolUp+VolDown+Power until the phone turns off. Once it is rebooted, continue."
I dont ever get to this screen. I think the recovery portion is the problem. i can get to hboot and fastboot and all that. i cant get it to come up with this screen. Think you can help with that?
My phone at that step does not go into recovery, it goes into either hboot or fastboot.

I have no idea what is happening there. Like I said I'm new to this stuff, just got 2 incredible 2s and followed the directions in that thread to root. Maybe somebody who knows will come along and offer some help.

Having trouble using Vivow tool to downgrade from 2.3.4 to 2.3.3

So I'm using the guide from Android Forums to downgrade from 2.3.4 to 2.3.3. I've been following all of the directions and the final .cmd script appears to be running fine, but when it ends up rebooting, I'm always running 2.3.4. I've tried it on two different computers and it still doesn't work. I can't post outside links, but I'll post the actual code that is running in the command window. I have all my drivers installed correctly (according to my Device Manager on Windows 7), and my phone has USB debugging, Fast boot off, and Charge only on.

[Q] FAILED (remote: 99 unknown fail)

Hello,
Trying to root my first phone and downgrade it following the directions (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1298990) very precisely...or so I thought. I keep getting an error at the second to last command when the rom actually gets flashed. Google has turned up several threads but those remedies don't seem to apply here. I'll give you my phone details as it stands right now.

Vol up / down etc instructions then fastboot, recovery, etc with 3 droids on boards at the bottom.
So this may be redundant but I'm going to paste every command and the results.
I start from the phone fully booted looking at the home screen.

At this point the phone reboots back to the "bootloader screen??" with the three droids at the bottom. It says FASTBOOT USB. One thread I read on this forum said the 99 error was because you were not in fastboot so I threw in this command and my device shows up???

Can't find answers to my specific issues

I tried to root my 8.9 kfhd 8.5.1 from a youtube video. I got stuck on the blue kindlefire screen. Through different guides I am able to get to twrp and fastboot. I have not been able to install a rom zip on the device through a cut and paste or a push command. I have left messages in a few threads and got a little response, but nothing that got me fixed. I've working on this for 2 weeks and read dozens of threads and cannot find a solution. I guess I had adb working at one time and had the drivers installed, but I'm not sure if ADB is working and my drivers are gone. I tried this thread "Frequently Asked Questions - 2nd Generation Kindle Fires " which directed me to this thread " [GUIDE] Kindle Fire For Beginners [GUIDE] Kindle Fire For Beginn… Post #2 " where I thought following this "How do I install the ADB drivers?" would be the way to go. So I followed it to here "[Root][TWRP][FFF][CWM]Kindle Fire Utility v0.9.6 (5/09/12) [First Gen Only] " and it warns me not to use it on my 8.9. So I looked some more and found this "Let's take some of the mystery out of getting ADB working in Windows ". I think I can get through these instructions correctly, but I now not sure if I this is the proper course of action considering I can get to fastboot and twrp. I've looked for a simpler solution to fix this. I even tried the push command to try and get liquid smooth rom and gapps onto the devices sdcard with no luck.
I am a total newbee and most of the lingo goes right over my head. The following is the original log of my first rooting attempt using this guide ......

Today I tried a factory reset thinking I could push a rom and gapps on the sdcard, but of course that didn't work either.
I don't want to ask people to rehash the same questions over and over but being this far down the road I don't know if I can start the rooting process over or just what. Any help would be appreciated.

Did you flash the custom rom and gapps to your device?
post the link from which guide you follow the instructions to install a custom rom

This is the video guide I used..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUW6KARo8Y4
After this I was stuck at the blue kindlefire screen. I found can get to twrp and fastboot mode (twrp by rebooting and holding the up volume and into fastboot by entering "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" in a command prompt). When in twrp my computer (win7) sees the kindle in "devices and printers" and also in device manager but the yellow exclamation mark shows that the drivers are not installed.

I reinstalled my drivers and in device manager I have listed...
"Android ADB Interface" as a sub listing under "android phone" (it doesn't list the kindle any longer)
I ran the RunMe.bat file and got the original root script. I have 5 choices...
1) normal
2) Special (....)
3) New xperia....
G) Goodle glass
x) Unroot
This is all the while I have my device connected to my computer with the usb cable.
My computer sees the device in "devices and printers" and in device manager but does not see it in windows explorer.
Now what?

I took pictures of my screen but I haven't figured out how to add images.

Help?? Anyone?? Mods?? I've done everything that was laid out in the newbee's section and have found nothing that fits the problem I am having with rooting my device. It said that if I did that people would be more than happy to help. I've been working on it since 14 Jan.
