Hi guys Sorry to touble you with this n00b post, but i've searched everywhere and cannot find an answer.
I have a DHD with android 2.3.3 and sense 2.1. In order to install a custom rom I have to downgrade the phone.
I follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
Of course, i use the Section 2b. As you can tell by the screenshot i've downloaded the misc_version and gingerbreak to my platform tools folder.
why cant i push? I've searched in astro. When i go into data, I cant find a folder named "local". Dont know if it should be there or if it is created when you type in cmd.
USB debugging is on, charge only. I've installed SDK according to this guide on cynogen wiki: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Howto:_Install_the_Android_SDK
I followed the install guide exactly, but could not finish step 24. I dont have and exclamation mark over an unknown adb device. All i can relate to this in device manager is "my htc". I've installed HTCsync/usb drivers.
Can someone please help me?
/matekr
Not too sure, but a common problem is not having the HTC drivers? Have you installed HTC sync before to get all the correct drivers?

If your version is 2.37 there is no way you can downgrade your DHD. We can just hope for the devs to find a way to downgrade that version.
you have to be in the correct directory to be able to push the file. The command would go as follows:
cd c:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
then run the adb push command.
This is assuming that your sdk folder is in the root of C: If not just amend the command accordingly.
I would personally rename the sdk folder to just 'android' then move it to C: in which case the command would then be:
cd c:\android\platform-tools
Hope this helps you bud.
Agreed that was my mistake i wasn't in the correct folder and it drove me crazy for ages till i realised my stupid mistake!

What a stupid mistake! Thanks for the help!
Sorry dude didn't check the screenshot -yeah I had that problem too, put the files in the folder you start adb in
I am trying to root my DHD (it's currently on the latest Gingerbread OTA update)
Can you confirm that you have rooted your DHD using this method? And what version was your DHD at when you attempted this?
Currently this is where I'm stuck at

Check your software number.
If it's on 2.37 or 2.42, the latest Gingerbread OTA update, it is NOT downgradeable as of this moment.

Put PD98IMG.zip onto your sdcard, put the sdcard in your phone after removing the battery. Now put the battery back in, hold 'volume down' and press power button. Phone should boot into bootloader then it will scan for the PD98IMG.zip automatically and hopefully flash your phone.
I have factory defaulted the device and trying to do http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003

and i can say that 15 isn´t a normal thing.... its sure that anything is going badly
One time i was able to see the # but that time it didnt install the rom. Gave and CID incorrect error. I made a goldcard following the instructions http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-make-gold-card-for-htc-desire-hd/
i copied the PD98IMG.zip in it and booted to bootlloader and again i got the CID in correct error.
So i started all over reseted to factory defaults and and done http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
again it is stuck again.

Is there anything you can recommend ?
EDIT: I managed to get # and rebooted to bootloader and got the CID incorrect error again. DO i need to do this part till i get # again before i try ?
What size SD card are you using for your Goldcard?
1 gig formated fat 32
But the thing is my device is not branded. And still why does it give CID incorrct error ?
The guide would almost suggest that you reverse the number twice, if you are doing this, don't, just put the number in as it is written in goldcard helper.
i got he CID number used the page on the guide and pasted on the SD card. I didnt do anything twice.
But can you tell me
Do i need to do Gingerbreak again and get # to try bootloader again ?
Did you follow the next step after getting #?
cd /data/local/tmp
./misc_version -s 1.31.405.6
If not, then there is your problem.
Yup i did.
And rebooted to bootloader and got the CID error again.
And now when i check it with goldcard helper
i only see one CID i used to see 2 :S
Which CID do you see, I assume it is the one for the phone's internal eMMC. This would suggest that you may have made in error whilst doing your HEX edit of the card. I would repeat the process of editing the card.
I used Card: mmc2:0001.
And the one i see now is Card: mmc0:0001. And now i cant use my mobile carrier :S
I removed the SD card reseted to factory defaults and still cant register on mobile network.
It says this simcard doesnt allow connections to this network.
Looks like i have done something very wrong
This is probably due to the misc_version now being seen by the SIM as an unbranded device but the firmware being a branded firmware, if that makes sense. I'm not positive on that so hopefully someone with more knowledge might come in and shed some light, however, I think that this would suggest that you are on the right track and the problem lies in your SD card not being edited correctly. Have you tried to re-edit it with the hex editor?
I am trying right now. But to do that i need to do the gingerbreak again ?
Not to edit your sdcard. You do that on your computer.
Unless you want to edit your misc_version back to it's original state.
So i did what you said and i see 2 CID again. Phew thanks a lot.
But the numbers have changed is that normal ?
I was like this
Card: mmc2:0001
Reverse CID: 00ab00e8286b781030303030304d531b
Now it is like this
Card: mmc2:9627
Reverse CID: 007b0013ea1d01804731305553445303
But when i remove the SD card it is back to 1 CID again :S
It is normal, as you have hex edited your CID to goldcard status. Hopefully now you should be able to run the PD98IMG.zip give it a whirl.
SOLUTION: S-ON HTC Wildfire S Downgrade Error "Main Version is Older. Update fail."
Like a few people I have been trying to debrand my S-ON Wildfire S by flashing an official HTC ROM. Since my phone shipped with a later version number (1.34.110.3), the bootloader would refuse to flash the latest Official HTC ROM (1.33.401.2) even with a gold card!
Luckily I've now managed to bypass this error by hex editing and reflashing the misc partition. The following method should allow you to downgrade to any signed HTC ROM no matter what version you currently have installed, even if your phone is S-ON.
Warning: You could probably brick your phone if you flash an invalid misc partition. So follow these steps carefully (or not at all)! Also, if you flash a very recent ROM, you may not be able to use these steps to downgrade again!
Ensure you have the HTC Sync USB drivers installed then download the zip at mediafire.com/?wxf6y4yq6d6nc8d containing the tools you need, and an official HTC ROM executable. I used the ROM at filefactory.com/file/cbd7165.
Connect your phone via USB and select the HTC sync option when prompted. Also ensure that USB debugging is enabled (this is the default).
Extract the zip and open a windows command prompt and browse to the directory where you extracted the files.
Execute the following commands in the command prompt:
Code:
adb push flash_image /sdcard/flash_image
adb push GingerBreak /data/local/tmp/GingerBreak
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/GingerBreak
Now enter the interactive shell mode with the following command:
Code:
adb shell
Gain temporary root access by executing the following command within the interactive shell:
Code:
./data/local/tmp/GingerBreak
Ensure that it has worked successfully (the shell prompt should change from $ to #).
As root now execute the following commands:
Code:
cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/misc.img
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
chmod 777 /data/flash_image
Now exit from root permissions. The shell prompt should change back to a $.
Code:
exit
Clean up a few files and exit from adb.
Code:
rm /data/local/tmp/sh
rm /data/local/tmp/boomsh
exit
Copy the image file from your SD card using the command:
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/misc.img misc.img
Run HxD.exe, select "OK" at the prompt then File -> Open and locate misc.img (which is in the current directory). On the 11th line you should see the version number of your current ROM, change this to a lower number. I set my version number to 1.30.401.0 since this was the version number of the previous official HTC ROM. The changes made will be highlighted in red. File -> Save As and name it misc2.img.
Copy misc2.img to your SD card using the following command:
Code:
adb push misc2.img /sdcard/misc2.img
Reboot your phone so that you can use GingerBreak again to attain temporary root privileges. (This may not be strictly necessary, but I think it's worthwhile just in case.)
Once it's back and you've connected via USB using the HTC Sync option again, issue the following commands in your command prompt:
Code:
adb shell
./data/local/tmp/GingerBreak
/data/flash_image misc /sdcard/misc2.img
Now run the official ROM installer executable as normal. Note that the installer may state your current version number but this is ignored and you should be able to downgrade successfully!
Let me know if you have any problems.
Confirmed Working on:
TMobile UK 1.34.110.3 + HBOOT 0.90.0.0
TMobile Polska 1.30.401.2 + HBOOT 0.90.0.0
You also have/had the 1.03.0000 hboot?

How long are you waiting for it to complete? Like it says, it can sometimes take a while for the exploit to take effect. Sometimes it took up to a minute for me.
Every time you use GingerBreak you should make sure that you remove sh, boomsh and crashlog if they exist, reboot your phone then push and chmod GingerBreak again.
Code:
adb shell
rm /data/local/tmp/sh
rm /data/local/tmp/boomsh
rm /data/local/tmp/crashlog
exit

should I change 9.0.0.0 to 1.30.401.0 ?? My current rom is TMobile PL 1.30.401.2.

It seems unusual that your ROM has a 9.0.0.0 version number
But, yes, as long as 1.30.401.0 is lower than the version number of the RUU you are intending to flash, it should be fine. If it doesn't work you can use flash_image to reflash misc.img to get back the old version number.
I tried it again after remove commands and rebooting but no luck... Waited +5mins and nothing happened.
I guess the new HBOOT is the problem.

Maybe the GingerBreak exploit is patched on your ROM...
Beer for U mphi it works great !!!
If this has worked for you, please can you post your previous ROM version number and your HBOOT version? I'll keep a list of working version numbers updated in the first post. Thanks!
Sure, ROM was branded TMobile Polska 1.30.401.2 and Hboot is 0.90.0.0.
Now I have unbranded 1.30.401.2.

Ahh, the GingerBread exploit must have been patched in that ROM then. It's a double-edged sword really; if you were running a ROM that is unpatched a malicious app could take full control of your phone...
Having said that, it still might be possible to enter recovery mode and reflash without S-OFF, but I really haven't done much research and wouldn't know where to start
Its just a shame there is not much going on in this section compared to other phones, lol.
I'm just going to take it into to town and get it unlocked for cash on the weekend, then save for a Galaxy S2.
Does not work for me with Wildfire S HBoot 0.90 and European T-Com ROM 1.34.11.5
Hi!
I had the same 11th line as on picture - 9.0.0.0.
I put the tutorial values and a solutions works 4 me as well.
I don't remember ROM version but was branded for tmobile polska, and I'm sure that was never than 1.30.401.2. - something like 1.33.xxxx or even 1.35.xxxx
After all I tried a goldcard method - now works fine.
Many thanks for a solution!!
Chinese to european ROM
Hi
I'm trying to install the euro ROM (1.33...) using the goldcard metod in my Wildfire S but I get the downgrade error (now I'm running a 1.38... version and 0.90.0000 HBOOT).
Now I'm in China and I don't know why can't visit mediafire for download the zip with the files that I need for follow this tuto. Is there some alternative web for get this files?
Another question is if in the future will be a euro version newer than the chinese one that allow me to change the ROM without do the practice of this tuto.
I have not a lot of experience doing this, so it will be grat and easier for me
Thanks in advance!!
There's no way to tell if there will be a newer official HTC ROM > 1.38..., but if there is, you should be able to download without this tutorial.
I've re-uploaded the files to a few more filehosts, hopefully you can access at least one of them:

Hello every one,
I have been meaning to root my phone and going through the forum but a bit confusing to me with the different methods that work for different builds etc.
Bellow is my phone specifications:
Desire HD unlocked but branded to VirginMedia UK.
HBoot 0.85.0024
S-ON RL
Radio 26.09.04.11.m2
Android ver. 2.3.3
Kernel Ver 2.6.35.10-g095637
Build number 2.36.351.16
When i run the adb command this is what i get.
I have been using my phone to create the gold card now i used a card reader, same problem. shown below
I followed all procedures to the letter. Used the hexeditor while the card was in my phone. Switched to charging mode to use the CMD etc. I used both 8GB and 16GB SANDISK card. Could that be a problem?
I have andriod SDK installed
Followed the steps form jkoljo thread.

Guide, Finally Rooted, Downgraded, S-Off, and Installed Custom Rom
I followed the guide lines from this tread. I think it has a new and updated downgrade files to make use of.
The thread is by CuBz90 [Guide] TEMP-ROOT ANY Gingerbread build and downgrade to 1.32.405.6 [Updated July 30]
1. You need to do a Temp ROOT.
The instructions are there, follow them carefully. Some how the procedure for rooting by jkoljo for my phone did not some how work, but never the less a good thread to go through.
Download the DHD Downgrade folder and follow the instruction, it is now made simple with out typing much into the command line. However for me i had to enter it manually, don't know why (Alternatively (If step 3 fails))
And after the scan i typed in "adb shell" into the command prompt.
That gave me the # key i now knew i was rooted.
2. You need to create a Gold Card. The instructions are clear on how to go about it.
Instructions for creating GOLDCARD are in the both threads i listed above, by CuBz90 and by jkoljo.
Copy the downgraded Rom on to your Gold card and follow the instructions in the section Downgrade by CuBz90 [Guide] TEMP-ROOT ANY Gingerbread build and downgrade to 1.32.405.6 [Updated July 30]
I think only one method of doing it. Not hard.
I used a 16GB sandisk card.
I did all the formatting of my card while it was in my handset and the editing. you could also use a card reader.
Some say u need to clean wipe format your phone before rooting etc. I did not do that on for my Desire HD.
3. Going by CuBz90 thread, Download and install Visionary+ to your Desire HD
There a videos on you-tube on the procedure, same as the instructions.
Once you have done the perm root. you are rooted.
4. You need to do S-Off before you install a custom Rom.
I tried to instal a custom Rom with S-on, it did not work.
Follow this link:
How to Radio S-Off & SimUnlock Your Desire HD - by jkoljo
Download the Easy Radio tool v2_2.zip from the link above by jkoljo
I just use the easy radio software and did the S-Off.
Then check if you are now S-off by booting into the boot-loader of your phone (power on holding down volume down. you will see S-off)
5. Continue with the The thread is by CuBz90 [Guide] TEMP-ROOT ANY Gingerbread build and downgrade to 1.32.405.6 [Updated July 30]
With the stage :"How to Flash recovery with ClockworkMod"
Install ClockworkMod on your phone and update it and follow the remaining instructions.
ClockworkMod Provides a boot screen where i can install my downloaded custom Rom. There are so many good custom Roms for the Desire HD, I tried the LeeDrOiD HD V3.3.1 GB Rom.
I hope this helps
ps if there are any errors or mistakes kindly point them out.
Hello,
My DHD is running 2.3.3 Gingerbread with 2.36.771.14 Build Number.
It's a branded phone so I followed THIS guide on creating a Goldcard which I have now done.
My next step was to follow THIS precisely however I end up with a few errors in the CMD. I've moved the PD98IMG.zip file into the root of the SD Card unextracted, I've extracted the Download_v2.zip into the C:\ Drive on my computer.
This is what I input into the CMD:

I've searched for a few days on how to resolve this issue, the only solutions that I've seen is to retry making a Goldcard and perform a factory reset and follow the steps again. I've done both and yet I still receive this error, can anybody point me in the right direction?
Is this before or after you managed to downgrade using the goldcard?
If its after the downgrade to 2.36.405 or lower, use this...

You may not have to downgrade as Gingerbreak should work with your v2.36 as well (as its just the carrier modded 2.36. The .771 signifies the vendor's id#)
eg: Telus = 661, hence all telus builds are .661.x
Hi there thank you for your quick response,
I have not yet managed to downgrade at all, that is where my problem lies.
- I will try that guide out and let you know the result.
I followed that guide, however the RUU gives me an error:
"ERROR [140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android Phone.
Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again."

You're going to need to use the goldcard to downgrade first then, then you'll be able to root only after downgrading.
(Try this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1152233&page=7 to DOWNGRADE ONLY!)
That guide is for 2.37, I'm on 2.36.771.114 Build.

it should still work. Either the bootloader will bypass the update to 2.37, or it will take. If it takes, then you can downgrade to 1.32 and root your device. If it doesnt, then it doesnt and you're still on 2.36.771.
So its either a win situation, or a loss of 10 minutes. lol

Great, I'm halfway through the process as we speak. Thank you for your consistent help so far.

I am now rooted and have Radio-off. I will be flashing LeeRoid later today, thank you very much for all your help
N.P.
Recommendation: use the 2.36.405.8 ruu to update to that version and root it (unless you want to update your raidio using fastboot and shell commands)
