I made a mistake and downloaded the official sprint update and now i cant ROOT it because its patched. But i was wondering if anyone could tell me how i can downgrade itt? PLEASE SEND ME A PRIVATE MESSAGE IF YOU CAN HELP! thanks
First. Our phones had 1.5 and not 1.6.
Second, You can not downgrade because the hboot on 2.1 is higher than 1.5.
Try unrevoked.com from your phone and it should root 2.1

I have seen this question plastered all over the board, but no one has "officially" answered it. There have been a "it should", "it might", "maybe it will". I don't need those type of answers lol. My question is, has anyone officially and successfully rooted the official cupcake OTA. I had root on my last G1 and had to send it back due to some issues. So I have a complete fresh G1 that was already updated to Cupcake OTA so there isn't an option for me to use Fast Boot. I am on the latest version of the radio release 2.22.19.26I. If I downgrade to RC29 using the old school method, will I run into any problems. Please only reply if you have already done this yourself. Dont need any maybes lol don't know if Tmobile will give me another G1.
Firmware: 1.5 official Cupcake
Radio: 2.22.19.26I
Build: CRB43
Thanks for any assistance.
Oh and I have used the search buttons with no results.
Did it last week with a 1.5 OTA.
And the how to root thread is full of people saying that they successfully downgraded and rooted their 1.5 OTA phones, so you didn't look very hard.
Thanks for your $.02...
Going to go root right now.
Hey guys!
I received and installed the new Android 2.2 update over OTA. But I lost my root access. I tried rooting with Unrevoked: no success. So I'm asking if anyone knows how could I root my wildfire now.
Please help
Reading really seems to be a problem around here.

You can't root the OTA, htc updated the hboot, so wait until unrevoked release an updated version.
I think you'll have to downgrade to an older RUU and root to flash a custom froyo, but I think the new hboot prevents this.
Leaves me wondering why you guys waited for official froyo and then decide to root lol.

For example, I waited for the official FroYo for stability. I had my phone rooted, and I had installed RUU sometimes too (1.37 or 2.10 cn), and then Unrevoked, because they can be rooted. So I didn't think that now, I couldn't root the official froyo, so I tried it as I had already tried RUU's and succesfully rooted.
Some people is saying that there were a lot of adverts/advices saying not to install RUU's or OTA's because then they can't be rooted. But I'm relatively new on this so I didn't even see those posts. There are a lot and I didn't read all of them, so I didn't know.
When I saw official FroYo was out I decided to install it to then flash Jacob's kernel and being root. Before that, I had finally went back to stock 2.1, rooted and OC, because custom roms are often unstable.
Now, I'm waiting resigned to be able to root it and forget this nightmare of being enclosed in this ROM.
EDIT: And yes, the new hboot prevents downgrading...
Do you get now the reasons?
Hey,

You cannot downgrade your bootloader. I think you're stuck until someone finds a way to root the new HBOOT.
I just want to go back to the stock android 2.1 , then update it to 2.2 ofiicially without rooting
The 'custom ROM' you flashed is actually official FroYo. There would be no difference even if you downgraded and got official FroYo. (Its not possible yet as stated above anyway, but, just letting you know)
hey guys

You should use the FRG33 passimg as per Wiki, then upgrade to FRG83D.
Also, wrong section.
my hboot is 35

ok as u said i need to use FRG33 ( FRG33 is upgraded version than FRF91 ?)
Just grab the image from here: http://developer.htc.com/
Have you tried the last update (FRG83D)?
Although if you want the FRF85D, first flash the FRF50 update (http://loadbalancing.modaco.com/download.php?url=paul/nexusone/update-nexusone-FRF50-signed.zip) and then upgrade to FRF83 with oficial recovery (http://loadbalancing.modaco.com/download.php?url=paul/nexusone/Update-Passion-FRF83-From-FRF50.zip) and finally upgrade to 85D (http://loadbalancing.modaco.com/download.php?url=paul/nexusone/Update-Passion-FRF85B-From-FRF83.zip)

Korean N1 was released with 2.2(FRF91) from the start, IIRC. So I don't know if downgrade is possible. (And, you can still root your device via rageagainstthecage exploit after upgrading it to 2.2.1(FGR83))
can i able to install custome rom after update to fgr83 as u say

I have an HTC G1/Dream it was running Android 1.6 with DMD64. I downgraded it to RC29 and 1.0 in order to root, but I'm having issues with the recovery. At this point I am considering just getting the device back to 1.6 and DMD64, and abandoning the root. I seriously could use some help on this. I either need some help completing the RC29 Root and recovery flash or help with restoring it back to 1.6 and DMD 64.
Anyone on here know anything about how I would fix this issue?
