Downgrading from Mr. Clean

HELP! I installed the Mr Clean rom and want to go back to the original ship rom, but when I run the original ship rom it goes through and I get an error just before the upgrade.
Error 296 Upgrade Only
This NBF file cannot be used to upgrade your phone, please get a newer NBF File.
Any thoughts on what to do?
THANKS!

Downgrade to button's 1.05 at ftp://xda:[email protected]__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe then you can "upgrade" back to the original shipped ROM.
Good luck!

Thank you, I will give that a shot

Hm, just run your Wiz in bootloader mode and downgrade!

505, I don't think that that will work....

I had the same problem, except I was trying to downgrade to do an unlock. But now that I try to install the custom rom, it hangs at 98% for a REALLY long time... around 10-15 minutes. And then it'll go to 99%, but the phone will continue to say 98%. And then, several minutes later, the program crashes on the PC! Any idea what's going on here??

Who knows, you didn't tell anything useful about your phone or what ROMs or anything else. Try the link in my sig. Read it, do ALL the steps, if you think you can skip something--don't, if "it doesn't work"--then you didn't follow all the steps.
Best of luck,

I think this may be part of the problem... How long did you wait? All roms stall at some point and can stall for like 5 mins (sometimes more). Don't do ANYTHING, unless your PC gets an error. Its still working. If it sits for more than 10 mins then you probably do have a problem, but it can sit for what seems like forever sometimes. Just be patient.

If it sits for more than 10 mins then you probably do have a problem

This is an error that you can get on G4 devices. What are you doing in step G3.4? Read G4.6!

but in the tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
is described how to determine the wizard type and my ipl/spl is 2.21 and thats G3 device.

That error indicates you aren't CID Unlocked. Is your phone booting now? or are you at the bootloader (rainbow) screen? If you are at the bootloader, then flash your official rom to get a working device. Once you have a working device, then go to step G3.6 and do the CID Unlock procedure.
ALso remove your SD card while you are doing all of this until you get it CID Unlocked and onto the TMobile 2.26 official rom (G3.8).
AND yes, you have a G3, so you don't (and shouldn't) be in the G4.x steps.

This is my last post for the day as I can't handle anymore of this (its not just you peran, but the other half dozen posts I've read in the last hour or so where people just aren't following the instructions they are given. These methods are tried and true, and they work. And yes, this is the way to CID Unlock your phone unless you pay to have it done)... In a previous post to you, it was stated you had to get back to an official rom first. Have you done this (your replies indicate you just continue to do other roms)? You need to get the latest rom from your carrier and get your device working again. Get it all charged up, pull out your SD card, then try flashing back to the button rom (I would also suggest you try pulling the button rom down again in case there is something wrong with your previous download of it).
Its the weekend, I'm going to go enjoy the spring weather

i did it like u suggested mfrazzz. i know that my phone isnt CID unlocked. but that is my problem. i read the mentioned article x-times and did it like described but the problem is : when i downgrade to button 1.05 rom then my pda stuck at 98% and i get the message from the update program on my pc that the downgrade was successful. but it isn't. why? till this step u cant do much wrong i think... :-(

Have you flashed back to the official rom from your carrier? Until you do that and get your device back working there is no point in trying to continue to flash the button rom (or any other rom). You have to get back to your carrier's official rom first. None of your posts indicate you have done that.

i always went back to the official rom from my provider and this always works perfectly. i tried it today again but always the same stucking at 98%.
i did it STEP BY STEP but it didnt work.

I tried it but it didnt help.
now i used Xelecin's 1.08 rom and this one worked. then i used lokiwiz and it was successful. but then i flashed the tmobile 2.26 rom and this worked but i couldnt use my sim-card any more. always when i insert my pin it said unknown sim and then crashes. i thought i sim-unlocked the wizard? another problem was when i want to flash the official o2 rom it said unknown vendor id...but i used before lokiwiz and there were no errors...and the last question, i know there are many now, where do i insert the sim-code i got from lokiwiz?
i hope someone have some answers...thx before

is a 1.04.10 radio a valid radio for a 2.xx rom?
If you are stuck, the only/best way to recover is to flash an official rom from your carrier. You can get to the bootloader so you are NOT bricked. You are just flashing roms that have a CID that doesn't match your phones. Try the button rom or the wizard love rom that the unlocking stickies mention repeatedly.
Were your IPL/SPL 2.18 before you started?
Read the Wiki, Read the stickies. For every person that says the process doesn't work there are 100 that it works flawlessly for and 99% of the time those that can't get it to work don't follow all the steps in order or just outright skipped steps or substituted with what THEY thought was better. There is a reason for each and every step in the guides. IF you follow them properly you WILL NOT have any issues.
For the situation you are in now: STOP trying to flash custom roms, you MUST get your phone back to a usable state before you go down that path again. Use your carriers latest available rom to recover your device.
Also you are lucky to get an answer at all because your question is asked in almost every single new thread and every single ROM thread. The answers are already easily found if you take the time to look yourself.

thanks man, i tried the original orange rom and it worked.

so i followed step by step the guide from faria

but i think the problem was that i did not have an aku2 or whatever that means.
Im sorry if im being rude, but you people do a wonderful job on those roms and step by step guide's but u forget that there are people that have no clue what aku2 means when i google is, it says a new rom from t-mobile with wm5 but it doenst say how somewone can check for themselfs if they have an aku2 rom...
Im verry sorry for those noob questions but it look like a heva the same rom that i had before i messed it all up.
so can i install a new rom from here? like one of these?

You will not be able to install a CUSTOM rom until you CID unlock. I don't believe the Black 3.0 rom is available for the Wizard. It is a Hermes rom. There are several WM 6 roms available for the wizard, you should probably look in the WM6 sub-thread once you get yourself completely CID unlocked.
The tutorial tells you everything you need to know, even if you don't know anything about anything. Just read the instructions follow the links to download the roms/tools that it is talking about. If you don't understand the instructions you can post in that thread and the authors or others will help you there. Though they most likely will not respond until you show that you have read and at least have an idea of what you are trying to do, where you started where you are and where you would like to end up. If you don't understand the instructions there is always the IMEI unlockers site that will give you a utility to do it if you want to pay them for it.
Why are you trying to upgrade? Do you need to upgrade? Are you willing to void your warranty on your phone? Can you live without it if something drastic happens and you truly do brick your device, in most cases you will not be able to exchange your phone under warranty? If you haven't defined the first question or answered no to any or all of the other questions you shouldn't be rom flashing, especially not with unapproved roms that aren't supported by your carrier. You need to measure the potential gains against the risk of doing these things to determine if it is right for you. Once you get unlocked and flash a couple of roms you will see that it is easy and relatively safe as long as you read and follow the instructions they are tried and true and do work if they are followed properly.

The Wizard Love rom is another that people use when the Button rom doesn't work for them. I don't have a link to it but I am sure it is linked in the Upgrading or G4 sub-forums. Maybe even in the Wiki. Sorry haven't been spending much time in the Wizard forums as I only flash my wizard when something breaks, or a new feature is added -- My wife uses that phone now .
There is always the pay to unlock website but you should be able to get it unlocked with either button or the wizard love rom.
Just out of curiosity how long do leave it sitting at 98% before you determine that it is stuck? All roms "stick" at a few points during the flashing process. If you didn't wait at least 5 minutes or get an error on your PC you probably didn't wait long enough. Best advice I have on this is disable all power management/screen savers on your PC set up the flash. Once it starts leave the room and close the door for no less than 30 minutes. This way you can be sure that you didn't interrupt it. For a Wizard the flash should complete in 10 minutes or less. For the Hermes it can take a full 30 minutes depending on your flashing method an which components you are flashing. It is normal to hang for a few minutes at different points during the flash process, just because there is no transfer doesn't mean something isn't being decompressed/written on the device from what has already been transferred over.

Phone locked in bootleader!! Cannot even Hard Reset!!

Hi,
I wanted to update my trinity in the version of S300+ (French) with the original HTC ROM.
Not only it didn't work, but I lost my phone, I cannot access anything even with Hard Reset and battery removal...
When I want to upgrade, it's going till 1% and then it stops and I'm getting a message "Error 286" Cannot connect with phone.
I cannot hard reset, I cannot do anything! When I hard reset, I'm always coming back to the bootloader (I think it's the bootloader, the screen with colors, where it says numbers and it's says USB).
Any idea? A upgrade with miniSD will help?
Thanks!

Start flash utility again and wait untill it starts again (can take sometime).
I had it to when I first flashed a rom.

Hi,
I tried it already, but it's always blocking at 1% of progress and it's telling me in the computer Error 286, and the phone resets and comes back to the bootloader...
Any idea?

I just tried now to update the ROM with the HTC_Trinity_SIM_CID_Unlock_v1, it's going till 14% but then it stops...
Any idea, please?
I cannot send back my device to warantee because updating roms is forbidden...

Put the phone in BOOTLOADER, then disactive ACTIVESYNC (form menu). After then start MTTY (you found it in the forum) set it on USB and then give the command:
task 32 Enter
task 28 Enter
task 2A Enter
info 8 Enter
task 8 Enter
After the last command the PDA restart and then you make a normal flash.

You didn't CID unlock, did you?
Flash with your original stock ROM and CID unlock it (G3) or HardSPL/SoftSPL(G4) before flashing.
And, don't use foul language please.
