Hi,
as the subject suggests i'm having trouble downgrading my DHD, i thought by unlocking my bootloader with the official unlock installing an other rom would be easy... but it doesn't seem to be as strait forward as i've hoped.
so now i've decided to actually downgrade and root my DHD that way, the only trouble is... that i can't seem to downgrade.
I tried all methods i could find without success.. so now i'm stuck... can any one please advice on this matter?
the versions are:
Android: 2.3.5
HTC sense: 3.0
Software: 3.12.405.1
Hi,
I have the same issue phone has same software versions and I have just recently ( last 2 days ) unlocked the bootloader , tried load of things just does seem to want to root.
Would appreciate any help on the matter
thanks

Hi All,
I am new to rooting / flashing ROMs.
I bought a HTC Hero from India. Following are the details of my firmware / software
Firmware Version: 1.5
Baseband: 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18
Kernal: 2.6.27.8dd6deee
Build: 2.73.720.5
Software version: 1.0.0.A6288
I would like to try the Android 2.1 ROM on my HTC Hero.
I have been following a procedure which requires a RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.XXX.XX_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver ROM file which will downgrade the HTC Hero for flashing.
I have tried all possible RUU files and the procedure fails with a 131 error, Which probably means that I am using a wrong RUU file.
Can someone please help me locate the right RUU file for downgrading.
OR
Alternately suggest another procedure to flash the 2.1 ROM.
Thanks in advance.

Please help !!!
Those threads have been stickied...
Use the Gold Card method and downgrade, then you can do whatever you want.
follow stickies mate, anything suggested here may be lesser to what has already been suggested. if you get to know something interesting over and above the stickies then let others know about that..cheers
2.73.710.61
Hey all,
I'm stuck on 2.73.710.61. I'm in Oz and have had plenty of experience with WINMOB and my G1. Orignally downgraded my G1 using the gold card method.
My gold card for Hero was created successfully and gets to bootloader than fails the downgrade.
I have not seen any mentions of the 2.73.710.61 firmware or the firmware stated by the original poster...
Are we missing anything or does the gold card have to be kingston??? From memory my G1 goldcard was a kingston...
Also the phone is not locked to any carrier, it is straight out of the box with the genuine HTC only firmware...
Please no flamming with use search idiot because there is no direct link or search for the firmware i am mentiong.
TIA
and
Respect...
I'm new to the modded android ROM scene, but do have a technical background and have had experience in modding PSPs.
I am having great difficulty downgrading my HTC Hero from 2.73.710.61
I am from OZ like the previous poster, have an unlocked genuine Hero bought from Harvey Norman.
I have tried many methods without luck, hitting the worst case scenario for each 'How To' guide, which in turn pointed me to the next guide. Which failed...
If anyone could please give me some help it would be greatly appreciated. My initial problem was that I could not find the 'RUU_Hero_HTC..' ROM to downgrade with, all versions i tried came up with the 'Wrong Client' error.
Thanks in advance!
.....so six hours later and I have made much progress.. HOORAY! I can confirm the Goldcard method DOES work for the HTC Hero 2.73.710.61 and I believe this is the ONLY method that will enable you to proceed with UN-ROOTING, ROOTING, DOWNGRADING etc...
Steps to create the Goldcard that didnt work, eventually ended up working, after much troubleshooting.. long story. Now im on my way to installing EzHero V5.0.1 custom ROM
for all those having problems with flashing,downgrading,gold card...etc...
please , there is Btdag's thread, read it and read again, follow every single step stated in the guide. if you get stuck, start all over again.
Btdag made it so detailed even you have never seen a computer before, i'm sure you can do it. goodluck.

Just use flashrec to save your recovery and then flash Amon-Ra recovery. I had the same phone and flashrec worked straight away.
I have also flashed the India OTA for 2.1 and got back a custom recovery through flashing the 2.73.420.5 ROM using a goldcard - just search and you'll find the threads.
Cheers

I have got HTC DESIRE HD with the following Software statistics:
Android Version: 2.2
Software Number: 1.83.415.4
Now i want to root my HTC DESIRE HD to be able to install some custom ROMs of ANDROID 2.3 gingerbread... i have tried using all the different tools such as VISIONARY+ and many other methods that I have found over the internet but none of them works. Can anyone of you please guide me on how to correctly root HTC DESIRE HD, as i've heard that if your software version is greater than 1.72 than its not possible to root it and first you need to downgrade your software version. So help is required from anyone who could help me to downgrade and root my HTC DESIRE HD.
Try searching, you will get your answer a lot quicker. Your specific question gets asked around 2-3 times daily.

Hiya matey,
Its gotta be LeeDrOiD's GB all the way mate. Make sure you have a nandroid backup of your old ROM and be sure to backup before any significant changes to your DHD.
Happy Hunting
Hi guys,
I have tried to root my DHD which is on android 2.3.5, software 3.12 but failed downgrading the device
I have followed the tutorials (trying to make a goldcard etc). and I have checked my steps repeatedly so I dont think its my problem. Then I read some threads about the impossibility of downgrading from software number 3.12.
anyone help to clarify on this?
Hi guys,
I've been given a DHD from my friend to help root but I'm having trouble trying to root it. This isn't my first HTC phone, I've owned a DHD (Stolen), Sensation (Retired) and currently using a HTC One SV. I've unlocked and rooted both my phones. However, I'm having loads of problems trying to root the DHD.
This is the details :
Android 2.3.5
Sense 3.0
Software Number : 3.13.707.4
Build Number : 3.13.707.4 CL228204 release-keys
I've been reading a lot of guides and I nearly gonna give up searching. A lot of them says that I've to unlock at HTCDev.com which I've tried numerous times. Every time I want to update my HBOOT using the PD9810000_Ace_Sense30_S_hboot_2.00.0029. it keeps on saying my ROM is outdated and has to be updated to 3.13.707.3. And quite a lot of tools are not usable now (probably because of its age). I've tried UMT, HTC Quick Root, AMT 1.8.5 all not working. All failed to root. I'm wondering whether if anyone can help me through this. I've used CMD according to certain guides and they all fail. It seems that this phone is totally unrootable, which I don't 100% believe it will be.
Perhaps anyone has already found a solution?
Thanks guys.
