Trying to Downgrade enable to ROOT & achieve S-OFF - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I would have posted this in another forum but don't have the appropriate permissions yet.
I followed all the steps at this forum link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912
and received the following error.
sending 'zip' (295144 KB)... OKAY
writing 'zip'... INFOsignature checking...
FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)
1. I checked the md5sum and it says its correct (image attached)
2. But after performing all other instructions the change from gingerbread to froyo didn't happen (image attached)
I have performed this downgrade and rooting on other Desire HD's but those had 0.92 hboot. This device and another I am going to do this on has 0.85 hboot (image attached). Not sure what to do next, after searching I couldn't seem to find a solution to my problem

You do know that this is the Desire section and not the DesireHD one? Unless you want advice from people who doesnt know anythng about DHD, be my guest.

sorry, just been frustrated with this. I will repost in correct place.

You can't root that HBOOT, you need to downgrade it to 0.80 and then you can root...

hmmm.... i find that a little to risky, but i gues it is just a question of time until a rootflash will be available for the new hboot... Don't you think?
The method you are trying downgrades your phone's software so I'm not sure why you think it's less risky. Also it'll never work on your phone (which might be a good thing, as if you have SLCD, it'd brick the screen).

So understanding you correctly: For the moment there is no way to have a modified rom on my sLCD Htc Desire?
There is; downgrade your bootloader and use a rom with slcd support. If you are afraid to do it, then don't. If you don't want to spent time finding the correct information, you should not root imho. Btw, this forum has a good search function, plus a sticky with all the info you will need.

I'd strongly suggest you *don't* follow that thread. Also, it will downgrade your system. As has already been said this is the ONLY way to root the phone.

Now i'm confused.
You say this does the downgrade and here it sais "don't" do the downgrade: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748498
If you have hboot 0.92 then you have froyo, and you cannot root without downgrading down to android 2.1.
The thread you are looking at is out of date. The information you are given now is up to date.

All right.. Got it...
So let's do a summery:
- I need to do a downgrade of the hboot
- then i need to aply the brick fix as i have a SLCD
- then i do the root flash
- then i again the brick fix
- and finally i can do the mod upgrade (where maybe after i need to do the brick fix again?
is it important to do the goldcard after the downgrade of the hroot or can i do it when ever i want?
BTW: I'd like to flash LeeDrOiD V2.0a mod with EspressoTheme
No.

[Q] Unable to flash boot.img

Hi everyone,
I've rooted my Wildfire and now it has 0.80.0007 bootloader with cyanogen 7.0.0 ROM. I'd like to flash my kernel but it says:
$./fastboot flash boot boot.img
sending 'boot' (2816 KB)... OKAY
writing 'boot'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)
I've also tried to flash zimage:
$./fastboot flash zimage zImage
sending 'zimage' (2414 KB)... OKAY
writing 'zimage'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)
I've read that this can be beacuse I have a locked bootloader but others on the forum have successfully flashed it. Do I have to upgrade HBOOT to 1.01.0001?
Please help

Don't even think of upgrading to HBoot 1.01. This is unrootable and you will lose even the basic ability to install Custom ROMs like Cyanogenmod.
What you are trying to do requires S-OFF. Most probably, your device is still S-ON. S-OFF can be achieved using an XTC Clip (Which, incidentally works on HBoot 1.01), which is why there are others who can do it. AlphaRev 2.0, when it will be released, will also allow S-OFF on Wildfires with HBoot 0.80 which is already pre rooted.
Thank You for your answer.
The boot loader says it is S-OFF.
What else could it be?
When I start the command that I've written above, a green progressbar appears on the upper right corner on my wildfire and than it dissappears. Then ubuntu says the errors I've mentiond above.

There are a couple of solutions here:

Since I personally use an S-ON phone, not very familiar with these commands.

Stuck at Hboot, Recovery Mode not working

Hey there,
I wanted to S-OFF my HTC Desire using alpharev.
Unfortunately I didnt read that this wont work when you were on a GingerBread Rom Which I was ....(GingerVillain).
I'm stuck in HBOOT now (0.80.0000)
Recovery Mode doesn't work either (red exclamation mark)
Tried several RUUs always got Error 131 wrong user-id
Unbranded my Desire with a Goldcard a year or 1.5 years ago. ( Was on Vodafone Germany before)
Anyone got an Idea how to solve this problem?
Cheers
Tried flashing a new recovery image using android-sdk and fastboot.
But then I get this error :
D:\android\tools>fastboot flash recovery b.img
sending 'recovery' (3398 KB)... OKAY
writing 'recovery'... INFOsignature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
probably because my desire is S-ON
?
problem solved !!!!
found my old gold card, and guess what RUU update worked with goldcard inserted

FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail) during fastboot downgrading.

I'm (or I was) about to root my desire Z. Using strawmetal pdf as instructions first two steps went smooth. Everything as written with no errors.
Problems start with downgrading to stock froyo. Frist I've tried manual downgrade, but the phone did nothing after finding PC10IMG.zip (well it checked it and werify, but then just went back to bootloader with no message). So I reboot the phone and it loaded normaly to my system.
Then I tried second method Fastboot downgrade, but when I enter into a black screen with white/silver htc logo and type:
Code:
fastboot flash zip StockRom.zip
it gives me:
Code:
c:\platform-tools>fastboot flash zip StockRom.zip
sending 'zip' <288060 KB>... OKAY
writing 'zip' ... INFOsignature checking...
FAILED <remote: 12 signature verify fail>
I've tried rerun the fastboot flash zip StockRom.zip command multiple times, everytime the same output.
What I should do now?
update: I've found in #G2ROOT irc logs someone had similar problem to mine but with his G2, Nipqer aptly suggested pulling the sd card out of the phone, it's not working in my case
update2: I checked md5 sum of the stock rom linked in strawmetal.pdf and it was different from the one in [GUIDE] Downgrade G2 (2.3.X) & DZ (2.3.X) & mT4g (2.3.4) & DHD w/ S-ON to Stock Froyo
strawmetal's pdf: 621f7c807cde340f1353fc43f34a4ea4 dz_pc10img.zip 288 061 KB
guide stock rom: 2ff42897cd27e0db425a2cf36c8bd078 vision_dz_1.34.405.5_pc10img.zip 291 448 KB
After flashing the rom from xda forum guide I'm on stock froyo and advancing to obtain pernament root :victory:
update3: I'm rooted! It took me 2 hours but thankfully to xda community and all the helpfull articles I've done it!

HTC M8 Driving me crazy

Hey guys
As any newbie on this forum I would like to apologise for posting a new thread but I've been searching and applying, i would say, the available options to address my problem but I've had no luck up to this point...
So I decided to risk looking like a complete moron and post my problem here.
My HTC M8 is like this:
https:// imgur.com/FDmizHh[/ url
The most I could get to was this:
C:\Users\TiagoGomes\Desktop\RUU>htc_fastboot flash zip RUU.zip
sending 'zip'... (82794 KB) OKAY
sending time = 5.954 secs
writing 'zip'... (bootloader) signature checking...
FAIL12 signature verify fail
FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)
Execution time is 13(s)
Guys... believe me please, I've been googling this problem for 4 days and I've been in RUU, .exe files, drinking teas, giving myself to alcohol and still... this MF isn't helping!
So, before I just smash the phone, I thought I try some elevated suggestions...
Can you help?
