Troubles downgrading HBOOT .98 Fails everytime

Okay, before I start getting flammed for being a noob, I have rooted android phones successfully since the OGDroid, and never had any issues. I am no noob to rooting and such. But here is my problem:
I have followed the rules in this thread BY THE TEE
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20135183#post20135183
The last post in the thread doesn't give ANY links what so ever to the files he's talking about, but following the OP directions, the phone does not stay in HBoot to downgrade it, as soon as the zergs send and the phone reboots, it auto reboots again. FAST BOOT is off, Debug is on, Drivers are installed CORRECTLY, no Sync software or itunes even has ever been installed on this computer. But I run the tool as admin, including the hack-vivow.cmd and it completes, but doesn't do anything to the phone. Help?
Oh, and I will mention, no SD card. Old replacement took it with it when it fried it. So, no external SD card, but that never stopped me from rooting ANY other android phone.

You mention nothing of having the Android SDK Manger installed, we need more information then what you gave us. Many many people have had zero problems using this including myself multiuple times on windows 7 64bit which seems to be the biggest P.I.T.A. so hopefully I can help you get some root, cos without it, the phone suckkks. lol. Root 4 life.

I have had a dinc 2 sitting around for about 3 months and I finally decided to downgrade it yesterday. Long story short I did everything u did and followed to a TEE and no go. Then I realized I had no SD. As soon as I put one in......Viola, it worked

Same here. Just got a replacement after my power button stopped working. New dinc2 had .98. As soon as I realized I took my SD card out put it back in and it worked then.

I do indeed concur with manwithadroid, I tried this procedure for days before realizing that I didn't have an SD card. I only realized it at that point because I tried to take a picture of my dogs playing and it wouldn't save, then.....it hit me.
OP, I would almost guarantee this would fix your problem.

Part of the revolutionary root process writes a file called ".17 somethingorother" to the sdcard. Seems like I've never rooted a phone without an sdcard, because alot of the processes and apps require you to place some .zip file on the root of the sdcard.
To lead off with "before anybody flames me for being a noob..." comes off pretty arrogant, and implies that you know it all anyway, so why should anybody help out?
Fwiw, I had zero issues following the same guide, and I can guarantee the links are there.

SD card method of rooting is well known to the manufactures and that is why the newer PPCs and tablet devices are bieng "AppHoleIzed" as in Denial of User Up Gradable Storage.
That is the main reason that I will have nothing to do with the GNex.
Even the XTC clip requires the Micro SD card.
All the BS from manufactures about allowing root, just means that pay just enough attention to the forums to find ways to con us into thinking that is what they "will" do. Yea wight...
That's the main reason Willies' P Hone 7 is not doing as well as WinMo phones.
Check the forums, WinMo is doing more with an End Of Life OS then AppHole has done since the beginning.
SamSkum is going to find real soon that MOST people are NOT going to put up with a device that is locked down and so loaded with Operator Bloat that it sucks the data that now cost so much.
Root IS a vital option for people that want to actually use a device for productivity AND entertainment.
Corporate greed is going to bite them in the ass so bad they will start looking like QWest when they had to sellout the wireless just to stay afloat.
Live n learn.

I'm having the exact same problem. I followed all of the original instructions. The code runs and it claims to have rebooted but upon rebooting it still stays 2.3.4. Can someone take a look at the code from the Command Window and see what the issue is?
XDA won't let me post links since I'm a new user but I'll post the exact code here.

Thanks in advance..FROM ALL VIEWS NOT ONE HAVE A CLUE?

Really frustrating belong to a forum where you can't get any help, only curious people, 98 views and no one clue or idea?

Maybe you can root this way?
Dig hole in back yard and bury phone. maybe it will root then. LOL

Thanks I now I know why I get not any ideas or help, yes I going to wait for you to come and help me. I ready solved the problem,

how did you solve the problem

The devs in the Atrix 2 forums only have a way to root 2.3.5. if you upgraded to 2.3.6 you are not going to be able to root the device. If you head over the the Atrix 2 forums that probably would have helped you out a little more.
Here is the link where you can learn how to update to 2.3.6 and keep root as well:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1477656
Then here is the link for the Deodexed 2.3.6:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420980
And the custom ROM based off of 2.3.6:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1441397
Head over to the Atrix 2 forums and we will be able to help you out more.

Hi, Yes It might be occur for some roms and V2 post For resolving this problem.
You should do full wipe and follow steps on V2.

I tried also this, since the V2 report a virus in the zip.
But when I execute the first command I receive back this:
Code:
adb push flash_image /sdcard/flash_image
1584 KB/s (0 bytes in 76044.000s)
Is normal? why do this?

Hi all
after flash hboot jellybean but now can't flash stock hboot
when I want flash stock hboot error you can't back hboot
please help me

I'm trying to run this tutorial so I can downgrade hboot and then run revolutionary for root/s-off. I get stuck at step 11. Says "The system cannot find the path specified." Anyone got any idea how I could get past this?

Same here! Pls help!

Many thanks for such detailed tutorial, but I am having problems.
First of all when I click on the RUU link I am presented with a download that doesn't work and just cycles through a bunch of adverts. Fair enough, I managed to get to the real link anyway, but the file is not an RUU.EXE but it is HTC_Desire_Android_2.3_Upgrade.zip. Using this file I cannot find which rom version it is and cannot therefore patch it with the correct version in step 17, but I never got to that point.
I created apparently successfully a goldcard and used it for the rest of the procedure, hope this is ok. Steps 7 to 10 seemed to be successful also although the output was not quite like on your tutorial. I got
$ chmod 755 /data/local/zergRush

The trouble started with step 11. The phone did not restart as root by itself. So I switched it off and pressed volume down and power to force it into root. Then I typed the command. This didn't work as cat is not a DOS command nor was it in the unzipped directory.
What is this cat command? How am I supposed to use it? I AM STUCK, HELP PLEASE.

Why don't you extract the zip and check if there is an ruu inside it then run it to update to gb and it should change hboot?

Hello,

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???

Advanced Ace Hack Kit fails downgrade pls help me

Hello everybody, I am new here and I hope that you can help me with this issue.
My device
HTC Desire HD
Android-Version 2.3.5
HTC-Sense-Version 3.0
Software-Number 3.12.405.1
If you need some other information, please ask me.
I want to root my device but have too less knowledge to solve the upcomming issues.
How I tried
I firstly read the effen manual several times. (I really read it completely)
I activated USB-Debugging and turned charge only to default (so that I wont be asked anymore)
Than I run the aahk-12062012 on a Ubuntu-32 Live-CD.
My problem
The problems appear when the kit tries to downgrade.
It seems that the RUU-download isnt available on the Internet anymore. And my hboot file (PD98IMG\PD98IMG.zip) cant be found.
I tried several versions of PD98IMG.zip files containing several hboot.nb0 files but It never worked.
Here is the wohle content of the Terminal I got during my latest try.
I hope you can tell me what to do.
(I am sorry but I had to censore the links)

Unlock bootloader.
