This phone was not rooted, htc upgraded it to 2.3 and I'm getting errors downgrading, and ideas?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
You need to provide more details...
1. By what means did you get it?
2. Did you root the phone?
3. Do you have a warranty?
4. What kind of error?
5. A screenshot perhaps?
Explain your problem more in detail, also I think this is the wrong section for that. check the general questions section.
cant downgrade 2.3, you are stuck on there till there is a new root for it sorry
You tried using a gold card to downgrade it?
When did T-Mobile send the upgrade
Also I think this is in the wrong section

Wrong section. You should either be posting in the QA section, or one of the root threads with the error you get.
When was gb released? My sister hasn't gotten it yet.

but is the OTA for gingerbread being pushed to those who arent rooted yet?
Got the phone on craigs list the previous owner sent it in for repair for hinge issue and got it back with 2.3. The phone isn't rooted. I like 2.3 but prefer my freedom. I'm at work and can't recall the error but I can push the files with adb but get the error when I run adb shell p.... I did the goldcard. I'm thinking I'm stuck, but ill give it another shot later

Meanwhile, those of us with root have had Gingerbread for a couple months now. If it's not available OTA, it's not officially available.

yup i have it too as well not a big deal, no its not OFFICIAILY OUT, but the Official stock rom is here to flash for those that want to try, this is the latest one and most likely gonna be pushed out.
as my sig shows i have one g2 rooted running cm7 and my other on stock gingerbread no root or s-off
as well this Leaked officail rom was able to fix those that had soft bricks and could not unbrick
and everyone knows to do that the roms have to be signed officialy by htc/tmobile
Hi,
I just got GN few days ago and I was surprised to see that it hasn't got the JB update yet as my Nexus S got the update before month or so..!
So, I want to know if is there any way that I can update GN to JB without rooting??
Please let me know!
Thanks,

You can't update without root until you get it OTA, but you can flash the full ROM. See the "flash" link in my signature.

Well is your GN yakju or takju?
If its either then hitting system update will prompt you the OTA.
You can also try the clearing Google Service Framework and hitting the System Update.

Yeah, to flash the full images, you don't need root, but you need an unlocked bootloader.
But I was talking about updating, not re-flashing a ROM: if you want to "update" your existing build to JB, you either need to get it OTA, or download it and move it to /cache (root required), or apply it via CWM (either root or an unlocked bootloader required).

Well for one is it American or European? GSM or CDMA? Buy it off the Play Store?
If it's CDMA you would have to unlock and use custom recovery to install 4.1, but it would be very simple to do and there are completely stock 4.1 builds that work flawlessly.

do you installed the right stock recovery for your stock rom? it must match the base number of your rom ...
Hmm, maybe not. I'll look into that, thanks.

The software version and recovery version are both 1.28, so I don't know what's up with it.

Have you disabled or removed any stock system apps?
I had similar problem after restoring stock recovery and OTA update was still failing until I restored apps I had disabled.
example: I had disabled by renaming 'Weibo.apk' to 'Weibo.bak', and OTA update kept failing until I renamed it back to 'Weibo.apk'.
In other words to perform OTA update you have to restore all system apps also.
hth,

Good tip, yeah I probably did have disabled system apps to be honest. I've gone and installed the latest ruu now, takes the hassle out of things.
Thanks for the help.

I'm gonna root and install a custom ROM on my friend's phone and I'm just wondering if I need to update the bootloader before installing any ROMs?
So should I root, then flash the bootloader update via Odin before installing a ROM?
Or can anyone give me a good process for doing that, it would really help

What version bootloader do you have now and version do you think you need?
I simply did a search on "bootloader" and found this relevant thread for you. Take a look a post #2.
Hope it helps.

I'm sure that it depends on what version bootloader is currently installed, and what version your ROM of choice requires. The fact that their phone is now "Stock" doesn't tell you anything. I am running a nightly version (7/7/13) of Rootbox (Doesn't get any newer than that) on a one year old S3, and have never updated my "Stock" bootloader because it was not necessary for what I need - and there isn't one newer.
Every time you flash, you are taking the chance of something screwing up. The only thing worse than bricking your phone would be bricking someone else's. IMO, you need to do some more research to answer your own question. The devil is in the details.
Good Luck.

If he is on the most current stock update provided by the carrier then the bootloader should already be updated.

Hello guys,
For the people who want to upgrade to a 4.3 ROM, here are the .IMG's for the bootloader and the radio:
https://copy.com/P38cQlhIXhexRcNM (Radio XXLJ1, still the same, you don't have to flash this one, unless you have a previous radio.)
https://copy.com/GImD8tF7NVQG6brL (Bootloader PRIMEMD04)
EDIT: It's not necessary to update your Bootloader and Radio, some say that these will cause problems, and you can run 4.3 ROMs without the newest radio and bootloader. What I recommend is not to flash these, and if you encounter any problems (reboots, heavy lag) try and flash the newest bootloader.
WARNING: You cannot flash these files in your recovery. Use an app or program for this like Nexus Root Toolkit!
Do I need to do this before flashing a 4.3 ROM? I did just try a custom cm10.2 (cookieman) and it worked... Back on 4.2 now though. Do most Roms include these in their zips?
P.s. where is this nexus root toolkit?

It is highly recommended to flash these before upgrading to 4.3 to avoid any unexpected hiccups.

Yes it's still XXLJ1. And it's indeed recommended to flash these before flashing a 4.3 ROM.

i just downloaded rom manager from the playstore installed CWM, installed the bootloader.
Went back to goo manager and installed TWRP again , finished

If i want to go back to 4.2 rom, do i need to revert to previous radio and bootloader?
Thank you.

OP is incorrect, you don't need the bootloader to upgrade to 4.3. It runs perfectly fine on the previous bootloader.
Also, I highly recommend not flashing bootloader in CWM or TWRP. That's how bricks happen.

Not a single brick reported on the CWM package so far... Problems are use case scenario specific in general, not universal to a product or a concept as a whole. That would account for a major bug!

That's what I did. Flashed 4.3 bootloader when on 4.2.2, rebooted and then flashed 4.3 ROM.
