Stock 2.05.405.2 still shows HBOOT of 43.0001

My unrooted stock Legend currently running 2.05.405.2 still
shows a bootloader of 43.0001. I went from stock 1.31.405.5 to 2.05 via OTA.
This seems weird considering 2.03 has a later version of the bootloader.
Is this the same for all 2.05 users? Is my bootloader corrupted in some way?
Perhaps it means I can root it without downgrade.

How did you get OTA 2.03 if you have 1.31???

Hi,
Sorry, I got my numbers mixed up. I had 1.31.405.5 and got 2.05 ota.
I've edited the original post. Nonetheless, the bootloader still shows 43.0001.

I checked also, same build and still show hboot 43.0001. Weird. Anyway
I don't complain.

And we could root?
Hi, my device is still on 43.0001.
Is it possible to root my device without downgrade?
Did you root your phones?

Why don't you thyself just give it a try? Please move this to Legend general...?

Hey I already tried rooting and it gets stuck at
43 main version error with modaco rooting guide.
So I'm assuming i have to downgrade to 1.31.
Oh and I have no clue how to move a thread in xda.

Have you had any joy with downgrading/rooting?
Im in the same exact boat as you myself and I dont seem to be having any luck with the downgrade ;(

No luck with straight rooting. I'm going to downgrade
then root.

If you have any luck with downgrading using the guide on this forum let me know as im having no joy.
Im in the same boat as you, same software and bootloader but the downgrade doesnt seem to play nicely ;(

Few days ago i've downgraded (from 2.05 to 1.31) and rooted my girlfriends phone, no problems at all. Just follow the instructions and you'll make it.

Yep I noticed your reply in the original thread, but i seem to be running into an issue that hasnt been brought up before ;(
Il keep trying!

Hmm. I will try it soon. Also must try the soft root method that
is out on the forum. Since it loses root once rebooted, I was
wondering if clockworkmod could flash a rom, probably not.

[Q] Downgrading Hboot Loader

Hey,
I rooted my htc wildfire with unrevoked and worked fine, i got the official 2.2 update come in and i went to install it but i couldnt cos it was rooted , so i flashed my phone with 2 Rom's but they upgraded my bootloader so i cant flash my phone any lower can anyone help me?
Thanks in advanced

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)

Also, wrong section.

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

Right now there is no official 2.3.5/Sense 3.0 upgrade for the IncS, so currently your only option is to S-OFF (or HTC Unlock depending on your HBOOT version) and install a custom recovery and then flash a custom 2.3.5 ROM.
It has been reported that an official IncS 2.3.5/Sense 3.0 update should be released on Dec 10, 2011, but only time will tell if those reports are true or not.
UPDATE: Football has uploaded the official IncS 2.3.5/Sense 3.0 RUU to the Development section!!!!!!!!

sense 3.0 ruu in football's thread..congrats

2.3.5/Sense 3.0 just received new update from HTC, but now i have problem, im download and phone ask me to install now, so after that phone is restarted and i dont have normal update screen i have some warning screen and that is all, i cant install this update but dont know what is problem, i have Revolutionary installed ...

i have no experience in the matter, but from what i've learned from reading other posts in the forum over the last few weeks...
if you used revolutionary to s-off, you can't update to the official ruu without reverting back to s-on. there are numerous guides in the forum for that so just do a search.
if you upgrade to the official ruu, however, your bootloader will be upgraded to 2.0 as well (someone reported this after upgrading to the official ruu) and i don't know if you will be able to downgrade. so, if you are looking to upgrade, please know that there's a possibility that you won't be able to s-off your phone (at least until someone figures out a way to downgrade from 2.0 bootloader).

my phone is s-off and rooted.
Recieved the OTA update yesterday and after i installed, on rebooting it wouldnt go past the HTC white screen. Stuck/bricked! i then realized that i couldnt load the clockworkmod recovery anymore, got an error cannot open e:\.....
hustled for hours trying to factory reset and finally had to install fastboot on my computer so that i could load the clockworkmod recovery image directly to my phone. after loading clockworkmod recovery then i could now use my previous backup and got back my phone working.... phew.
Hope this helps someone out there.

[Q] How to gain S-off on hboot 2.00.0001

Hello guys,
I have little trouble here, I own Incredible S with andorid 2.3.5 and HTC sense 3.0
and I was going to root it but befor rooting I needed to S-off and managed to do so.
Problem is that I failed, i tryed almost everthing, including revolutionary which I liked most but it doesn't work because of unsupported bhoot version.
supported versions are 1.09 and 1.13 But I have 2.00.0001 so it doesn't work..
I'm almost noob in android but want to have phone rooted so please give me some advice..
What is the easiest way to S off or to downgrade hboot to 1.13 or 1.09 (I don't even know if it's possible..)?
Thank you very much,
Nick.

If you want true S-Off then this is your only solution:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1373697
If you just want root and don't care about acknowledging to HTC that you are doing so, then check out the unlock procedure at HTCDEV.com. Note you will have to give HTC info about your phone that potentially void a warranty claim.

Well, main reason of rooting is to install georgian fonts.
As far as i know there is no way to install fonts on unrooted phone soo will that method help me to use fonts after rooting?

If after you unlock the bootloader, you would then be able to flash a custom recovery and this would allow you to flash the latest versio of SU-3.0.xxx.zip which would root your phone and allow you to install fonts.

thanks mate, is there any noob friendly guide to install SU ?

Is it possible that you have a file named PG32IMG.zip on your SD card? That's what it sounds like is happening. Delete this file and then start the process again.
