[Q] unable to downgrade or root

i performed an OTA (Froyo) update on my phone and now i'm unable to root or downgrade so i can root.
i tried the downgrading method from here and i get an "incorrect cid" error
using unrevoked3 doesn't work, the process takes a long time and the phone just boots normally and it says "root failed"
i tried using a RUU and eventually ended up with an "wrong or incorrect cid" error too
so i'm guessing it's some error with the CID or something else i'm missing. how do i determine which is the suitable RUU for my CID? and how can i determine if my phone is CDMA or SLCD?
i'm not sure what to do now. i can post my phone info if needed.

What ROM version are you using at the mo?

stock HTC desire ROM
Baseband version 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
Software number 2.32.415.3

Not seen an RUU with that version so you'd have to debrand (using a gold card) and then root that instead...the CID error is because you're not using a gold card
As for other questions:
- You're GSM, not CDMA, as you use a SIM card in your Desire
- Screen types are SLCD or AMOLED. New Desires (built August onwards) tend to be SLCD so you can only use RUUs with versions 2.x.xxx.x onwards (unless otherwise stated)

i still have to use a gold card even though the phone is unbranded? i'll give it a try i guess. i wanted to avoid making a goldcard but i guess i'm running out of options.

If you get incorrect CID that means that your phone is branded, hence the goldcard

If you're phone was unbranded you'd be on version x.xx.405.x - anything is either a region variant or branded. Most debranding guides use the WWE ROM (x.xx.405.x)

yeah it could be a region specific phone, that would explain the ROM version and the CID errors. but its definetely not branded, no extra software on it and its works with any network. does that mean i have to debrand, downgrade and then root?

Just have to debrand, use 2.10.405.2 and flash it with a gold card and then root - no downgrade required

- Insert a Goldcard
- Flash this using this RUU:RUU_Bravo_Froyo_Vodafone_UK_2.33.161.2_Radio_32.49 .00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_157522_signed.exe
see this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...=853178&page=3
then u can root it using unrevoked if u dont have goldcard dowload this file http://www.mediafire.com/?pby74hjgv9t9tmu put it on the sd card turn the mobile off then press volume up while keeping it pressed press the power button then it will go HBOOT then PB99IMG.zip will flash ur desire u can root it again using unrevoked.

Why would they want to flash a Vodafone UK ROM onto their phone?? Bad advice, there...
Get the one from my signature of you still want to be unbranded

This one 2.29.405.2 WWE will not work on desire with RUU ARA_2.32.415.3 this the only way to root the device again pls see this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853178&page=3

So why did you post the Vodafone UK one before? And how do you now the EU is on that ROM?? It doesn't matter which you use so long as you have a gold card

Yea..
I think his best bet is to downgrade using Teppic's utility to the WWE 1.720 and then upgrade to whatever version of his ROM is avilable on Shipped roms. And root. And..I have yet to see Unrvoked failing on any software version.
Use a goldcard while using Teppic's utility too. That will bypass the CID check

Why downgrade at all? So long as you're on ANY stock ROM you can root it. Downgrading is completely unneccessary

believe me I got this RUU ARA_2.32 I ve tried all the methods u mentioned here only the vodadafone RUU could resolve this problem all other methods gave different kind of errors without any success.

Of course it'll work, if not THEN use Teppic's downgrade tool and flash whatever ROM you want

I suggested that only b/c he said he tried unrevoked and it failed..Of course unrevoked is supposed to work on every software..That said, I havent seen 2.32.415.3 before and thought maybe it has patched the Unrevoked vulnerability..

Would help if you could describe the "different errors"..
The solution could have been anything starting from incorrect drivers..

I think I know what he's trying to say, he wants me to use the vodaphone one as a stepping stone before moving on to an unbranded ROM and rooting. But won't that still require a gold card anyway since its not the same version ROM?

Hi. Follow these steps and you will be back stock and no S-OFF or ROOT.
First of all get the latest RUU WWE 2.29.405.5. Extract the PB99IMG.zip file from the RUU: here it is how: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=880268 -2nd post.
Also make sure you don't have a custom HBOOT (in bootloader the version of HBOOT should look like this if it is custom: 6.93.0001 and at the top should write Alpharev and something else) or you will need first to flash the HBOOT downgrader prior to running the RUU.
You will need to a Gold Card if your phone was branded.
1. Extract the PB99IMG.zip and put it on root of SD Card.
2. Reboot in bootloader (Volume-Down + Power)
3. It will automatically load the img and ask you if you want to install
4. Check Yes and follow onscreen progress.
5. Wait untill it finnishes
6. I think it will reboot itself, if not scroll down to the Reboot obtion and press Power button to select.
Follow this guide for Gold Card:

4. Do I need a Goldcard?
If you have a recent version of the RUU for your Device, available on Shipped Roms, you dont need a goldcard. This is the usual scenario for people who purchased their Desire in Europe, and so have an unbranded Desire. All Branded Desires need a correct branded version of the RUU, and any other RUU including WWE (Worldwide English, or European) RUU will not work for them. Also if an unbranded Desire user wishes to change RUU to a branded version, he will need a Goldcard. This is because all Desires have a particular software tag in the Rom, called the InfoCID. This dictates the Region code. For Eg. An Indian Desire is branded and has InfoCID of HTC__038. When you change a RUU to different region, what you actually do is reset the InfoCID setting. Changing the InfoCID setting requires a Goldcard.
5. What is a Goldcard?
It is a normal MicroUSB card specially prepared in such a way that its Sector 0 (which normally doesnt hold anything useful) is modified, so that it signals to the HTC RUU that the InfoCID may be changed.
6. How do I create a Goldcard?
Just download this tool (Credits and All Rights by [email protected]), and run it.
7. Can you tell me more about Goldcards?
Sure. I've already posted it for you. Read the FAQs in this thread.

HTC Wildfire original condition

Hello!
I have a question.
Currently I have the phone Rooted and a custom Rom is installed. Now you have my phone for repair. I would like the phone back in the original condition (ie without root privileges and ClockworkMod menu) to bring.
I had then the original image, which I did for the root time, have re-played.
But unfortunately I get the menu ClockworkMod not go away.
The menu is still available.
Next try:
After I had been playing the original image, and I had started the cell phone was offered by T-Mobile is an update.
But unfortunately this update is not installed.
It aborts with an error message.
Now I have read that I should just flash the original RUU, Complete new. So I went to shipped rom on the side and I have the appropriate RUU for my phone charged. (RUU with the Tmobile UK).
But this I do not get installed.
The flash process is interrupted after a few minutes with the error 140 (wrong bootloader version).
Now my question:
How do I bekome out there, I have on my phone without the original T-Mobile software ClockworkMod, or do I uninstall ClockworkMod?)
Did any of you an idea?
Thank you!

I become an Error 140 Code (Bootloader error)...
Greets Hollux

what is your language?
is your phone branded?
you have breaked your recovery?
Maybe you have installed the bootloader driver from Unrevocked
Is yes,download and install htc syn from its official site and after the installation,unistall ONLY htc sync,not the drivers
my phone is unbranded and i used this
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...5.55.24H_3.35.20.10_release_160191_signed.exe
it will update your HBOOT to 1.01.00001 so you need s-off to flash recovery and custom rom

Hello!
I have my phone with Rooted Unrevoked3.
Then a Custom Rom installed. (DK ROM).
Original is the phone branded by T-Mobile Germany. It was originally Froyo still on the phone.
HTC Sync I have installed and then uninstalled so I only have the drivers on my computer.
For flash process:
I've taken on shipped-rom RUU following:
RUU_Buzz_TMO_UK_1.14.110.1_Radio_13.45.55.24_3.35.15.19_release_130442_signed
If I'm in HBOOT USB plug mode, the mobile is an Android Phone - Android detected bootloader interface.
However, so after the start of the RUU, the phone is not detected!
If I'm in the fast boot mode, the USB phone as a USB device is Android - My HTC detected.
Even after you start the RUU detected the phone and I can start the flash process.
However, it comes out after a minute the error 140 (bootloader error).
If I install the image, which I then made ​​by the original ROMs, will start after the one offered on Air update.
This, however, can not even install.
The flash process will start, but after a short time I see a picture in the phone with an Android males and a triangle. Then I am back in ClockworkMod menu ....
As I've written, I only want to install my phone with the original RUU from T-Mobile Germany and the menu should disappear ClockworkMod ...
Did any of you an idea?
What happens if I flash a non T-Mobile RUU ....?
I can try to flash another RUU and then later, my T-Mobile?
Please Answer, thank you
Greeting Hollux

You will have to downgrade MISC Partition, to allow "Downgrading" your ROM. (DK Custom ROM is based on 2.22.405.1, and you are trying to flash 1.10.114).
The Guide for AlphaRev X to Downgrade HBoot from 1.01.0002 to 1.01.0001 follows this same procedure, but, its for the WWE 2.22.405.1 ROM only.
But, you can follow this procedure, since you are on HBoot 0.80x
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
Obviously, the command version numbers will change in your case, and, you will need the TMO Rom.zip from that RUU.
NB - Disclaimer - It should work, but, it's a sensitive process, and I am not responsible for bricks.

[Q] How to root wiht a build:1.31.405.1.cl269910 release-keys

I bought a use desire Z , and Ihave a problem with the sims unlock, someone tell me it easier for me if I root it, but i don't find how to do with my configuration...
Version d'android:2.2
version core:2.6.32.21-g826c38e [email protected]#1
# de build:1.31.405.1.cl269910 release-keys
soft:1.31.405.1
All the ''how to guide '' I have seen it for build 1.34 and higher it is the same for the build 1.31?
Thankx in advance!!

Use the guide for rooting 1.34, it should work fine.

Hi here again!!
You should explain your roggers -> Bell simlock problem too.
Maybe you could have some help here too!!!
Does direct flash of a shipped ROM (.exe) could work?
Witch one to choose in this case?

Can't tell if you're asking a question or not.
If a simlock is active, rooting the phone will remove the simlock.
RUU's are only for the DZ, not the G2 (unless you count the very latest G2 update, 2.16.531.6)
Flashing a RUU (the .exe) will flash whatever stock rom is contained in it onto your device, if the version numbers and model id's and cid's all match (if you're S-ON)
if you're S-OFF, any RUU should run on your device, but will remove any custom recovery and eng hboot.
-Nipqer

Initially, my problem comes from the fact that I can't connect to the Bell network, with my phone to buy used, the guy who sale me told that is enlocked, he served under Rodgers before, however I have no message saying that my SIM is invalid when I insert my SIM or another of Telus. I have an X on the antenna, and only wifi works, I have manually configured the APN, replace the SIM, and spend hours to peel forum, Keno40 suggest me to Root, do my question we not sure that was the 1.34 work for1.31 build... excuse me if my text is a little low end, English is not my first language… If you have other idea to resolve my issue it will be great!

[Q] Debrand M9 and get lastest FW

Hi there all,
Have previously done some modding on older HTCs, but have not really done it in a while.
By chance and opportunity, I got my hands on an M9. Love it, but it is Telstra (AU) branded. I know that to get the lastest FW (OEM or otherwise), its best to get off carrier branded FW.
In order to do this (aim to get to intl or Asia unbranded generic FW), I should:
1. S-Off (via HTC Dev).
2. Install custom recovery
3. do a back up (Just in case)
4. Load the generic RUU of my choosing
5. (optional) install the stock recovery that matches the RUU (for OTA updates)
Is this right? Do I need to mess with CID?
Any info to help me refresh myself would be great.

Apparently HTC dev does not assist with S-OFF.. maybe www.theroot.ninja though ..

oh good old sunshine.

Anyone have anything else to add? any tips to make it easier on the m9?

Just that installing a RUU will install stock recovery anyway.

The root ninja guys are in the US and get their M9s in a few weeks, you won't be able to achieve the above until s-off is available, you will need to supercid the device to enable you to flash a none telestra RUU.
A custom ROM may well be an option once they start popping up ?

Thanks Punk/Lee, good insight.
Yeah, I've used Viper ROM ages ago with my M7 i think, and that went well, so may go down custom as well. Cant wait to start mucking around with my M9.

Bootloader unlock reportedly works if you select "other" on HTC dev., also, the process must be done from Recovery Download mode, i. e. Hboot-->Downloadoad mode. At least that's the method I have seen reported successful.
My name is Harold and I'm a flashaholic.....

thanks Harold. I will try it when I get some time this week

Excuse the noobness.
As per above, if I can unlock the bootloader using the "Other" selection on HTC Dev, plus this toolkit is available : http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/development/tool-windroid-universal-android-toolkit-t3066989
Then, flash one of the following RUUs - http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/general/htc-one-m9-dump-t3060545
Effectively, that means I can unbrand (use one of the stock RUUs), and it would receive the relevant updates from those regions, yes?

If that RUU, what you want to flash, has different CID/MID - flashing will fail..
And on the other hand for editing your CID/MID in order to match those in RUU can't be accomplished without S-OFF - which you should not confuse with "unlocking bootloader"..

hey, I managed to debrand my M9. I followed these steps:
1. unlock bootloader
2. flash recovery and root
3. S-Off with sunshine
4. Change my CID to HTC__001
5. Put the 0PJAIMG.zip on an SD card and rebooted into bootloader mode and it de-branded the phone
