Downgrading revolutionary HD

So turns out Gingerbread doesn't support ActiveSync forced to encrypted devices.
I have a few questions about downgrading:
1. What is the latest Froyo version of revolutionary HD and where can I download it from?
2. Do I have to format back to fat? What wipe script can be used?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

if you go onto teamrevolution.co.cc you can download it from there. Also the gingerbread ROM is amazing, surely if you ask Mike, he can find a fix for it?

Thanks for that, didn't know Team R had their own website.
Unfortunately the ActiveSync issue is not solvable by a simple ROM tweak.
There might be a way to modify (actually hack) the Mail application to claim that the device supports device (and/or SD) encryption. This would make the ActiveSync server to allow the device to connect.
So far I haven't seen any1 doing this modification but I'll keep looking.
thanks

update froyo 2.2 to gingerbread on Droid Inc.

Has anyone update froyo 2.2 to Gingerbread on Droid Inc?

Do you mean besides the official OTA from Verizon/HTC?
Besides the several versions of the 2.3.4 update Verizon has pushed to various users in the last 2 months or so, there are a number of ROMs based on that update and I'm sure a bunch more based on 2.3 for other phones. Check out the development forum.

i'm not sure which one to get.
do u know tutorial how to update froyo to GB?

Excellent now I need you to put all your SD card content in your computer and format the SD card to FAT32
after that put everything back on your sd card and put this in the root of your sd card

IT MUST BE IN ROOT OF YOUR SD CARD!!
reboot in hboot and it will ask you if you want to update, hit volume up to accept after the flash it will ask if you want to restart, again hit volume up to restart.

[Q] new theme and android control by pc

Hello i am Jamie from Holland and i'm new at this forum
A lot o questions i already found on this forum but i have still 2 i can't find. I don't know much about phone's so i hope my questions are not stupid
I have a htc desire with original android 2.2.2 with warrenty, so i DON'T want to root my phone. (or a possebility to update my phone without root or losing apps?)
at first:
Is there a new theme for my phone like android 3 or 4?
seccond:
I want to control my phone from my pc (to use whatsapp also on my pc), i found a lots of programs but they are all for ROOTED phones.
Thanks,

up,...................

You can use an ICS Launcher.

Rooting is not risky or anything, just plug you phone in your pc and use unrevoked. Finished in a minute or so and then it's rooted.. But if you don't feel good about it, don't

thanks, i downloaded the unrevoked program, before i root is there a posibitety to backup my phone rom? And if i root, do i loss my warrenty?
and he program said, make shure you DONT have installed htc sync, do the mean on my pc or phone? and can i use it after it is rooted again?
thanks
btw can i also flash my rom with this program?

Read guides before you do anything, they are all over the forums just search.
Also before you do anything write down your software/radio version so you can download appropriate RUU in case you need go back to factory default ROM.
You'll also need to know how to partition SD card. (most ROMs requires it)

i installed the theme app but now i cant put my old htc sense widgets on my desktop. is there a posibillety to have my old sense widgets? (i looked onb the market but the fake ones aren't so nice as the original)

Not the exact same ones, no.
There are some replicas on the market, especially for the 4x2 clock/weather there is a great replica that looks exactly like the real thing.

Turning HTC Desire Z completely into stock

Hey
My Desire Z's screen/digitalizer has compeltely gone crazy. I called HTC and well they told me that I had 2 years (Im at 1 and 1/2 I think) so I can send it for warrently. Obviously Im rooted, modded, S-OFF, etc. everything.
A LARGE detail: For some reason, USB mass storage doesn't work on my phone. Its another reason why I want to go stock and check if it is a hardware issue or software.
One of their tests was safe mode which the same thing happened (detected touches all over the place). Another test, was to turn it into factory which is what I want to ask now How I turn my HTC Desire Z to COMPLETE stock again? I do want to have the possibility to again unlock the bootloader and root it, which I think is possible but Ive heard of phones that say once you upgrade, its impossible.
Another thing, HTC may (because Ive read it on these forums) offer me another phone. I will refuse this because I dont care if they offer me the Nexus 7 or a Galaxy S3 (saying impossible things, I know); I want a phone with a QWERTY keyboard and since they dont have a newer model, I want mine back. In case they say this (because they cant (dont want to) fix my phone) can I refuse this and get my phone back? Just want to make sure about that....
Right now, my main thing is getting this unrooted, relocking the bootloader, S-ON, and going completely stock, so HTC doesnt say anything about it (just in case)
Thank to all

Also, i dont know if this is a ROM issue or a hardware issue, but ADB/USB mass storage doesnt work for me so I have to use a Wifi FTP server to transfer all the files I need....
Another reason I need a stock ROM: Test this and test the USB storage/ADB hardware/software.

I thought there was a sticky for this kind of question?
---------- Post added at 04:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:20 AM ----------
Guess it wasn't a sticky but rather the wiki:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_Vision#Unrooting_and_Returning_to_Stock
If only the screen is having issues, you might be able to get at least the original bootloader/recovery on there (thereby returning the part that counts back to stock).

Check my guide for returning to stock

I saw your guide but it requires ADB which (I've added it in the original post now) is not avaliable on myy device for some reason.

The guide links to a stock rom with adb pre-enabled. So if you have the drivers and adb set up on your computer you should be good to go.

But like I mentioned right now, USB mass storage and ADB do not work. They are set up on my PC but they do not see the phone. Thats why I cant do it with something that has to do with ADB.

Anyone have any idea how to do this?
Ifs it too much, maybe I can put a stock ROM on it and unroot that (leaving S-OFF)

adb should work fine, my guess it isnt set up right. you say when you connect your phone to pc you can only charge? no usb mount/mass storage, no adb? your phone will charge? your sd card works but can be read by phone and not by pc via usb?
is this all correct?
either your usb port is bad, your usb cable is bad or you dont have adb set up correctly

yes, i can only charge. no usb mount/ass storage.......my card is perfect too.
is it possible there is something wrong with the rom/kernel im using? i mean a bad usb port seems......dificult.
if it is bad, i might as well take the warrenty as well but i need to run stock to avoid anything stupid from HTC.

my best guess is you need to uninstall the drivers alocated to your phone. then make sure you have proper ones on your computer. then when you plug jin your phone manualy point to the proper drivers

Have to go download the Drivers for the phone, otherwise the PC will only see it for charging or potentially USB mass storage.

Thats the thing: It doesnt see it as a USB mass storage device. And yes, the setting to detect it as such is indeed checked. I also reflashed the phone to another ROM to start clean: Nothing.
So then, my touchscreen AND be USB port have gone both bad. What is a stock (with Sense since the Desire Z comes with Sense) Gingerbread ROM that I can flash on this S-OFF phone? I need to send it ASAP as I dont want more time to pass.

There's a few Stock roms in the forum, but it depends on who your carrier is, i.e.: T-Mobile Stock is going to be pretty branded with T-Mobile.
Also I'm not sure if shipping it with an ENG S-OFF will give them an excuse or not to support you (I think even with SHIP S-OFF they might say something).
---------- Post added at 04:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:37 AM ----------
By the way since you said your touch screen might be bad, and you are S-OFF check this guide out (Something a lot of people used to get their phone to full stock even with a dead digitizer for RMA purposes) :

I know you are trying to help and thanks a lot but I mentioned a few times that ADB does not work because my phone is not detected. I believe the data portion of the USB port has broken
I would need a Gingerbread Sense ROM that is closest to a OEM Desire Z. Since putting S-ON isn't a option due to the broken ADB I have no choice.
And ****, I just notice something else. The VOID sticker is broken on the screws. God I hope there are some on eBay....

Yes, great news. There are. Thank god I realized it before sending it off. I opened it just in case I could see some cable not right and fix the screen this way.
Anywa back on topic: Closest stock Gingerbread Sense ROM?

The stickers are problably going to take a while to get here.

if adb won't work (did it ever for you?) then your best bet is to fully brick your phone as long as you are sure when you send it in its warrantiable, it will be hard if not impossible to go back to stock without adb, there may be a way through terminal, you can go to irc #g2root and see if someone there can help

[Q] advanced SGS3 questions

My previous phone was an HTC sensation 4G. I've rooted and installed ParanoidKANGdroid on my new SGS3. here are some questions that arose
1. Are there firmware/radio/dish files for the SGS3? I remember mucking around with those on the HTC Sensation.
2. I used the Snapdragon toolkit to root the phone, I'm assuming it S-OFFed my phone, gave my phone SuperCID, and root in one step. I'm just kinda surprised how easy it was on the SGS3 as compared to the HTC sensation. Want to make sure I'm not missing anything.
3. I enjoy flashing/testing custom kernels. Especially ones that overclock, undervolt, and provide a wide variety of governors. With the Paranoid KANGdroid ROM it appears there are only two custom kernels I can use KT747 and d2-tmo. Any kernels I'm missing out on that work with PARANOID KANGdroid. Are there any apps that undervolt kernels across the board for SGS3? I had an app like this on my previous phone.
4. Now for my newbie question. I have an SD card in the phone's slot under the back case. Settings -> storage recognized it and shows the space, however when I connect the phone to my MacBook Air, Linux laptop, or Windows 7 desktop, NONE of them see the "external" SD, they all pick up the internal storage just fine. Any suggestions or help on this one?
