I should think the very early versions of some ROMs might be 2.2... Possibly ARHD? Worth asking the devs directly, or looking at old versions of the ROMs in the development forum.
All that said, why do you even want a 2.2 ROM?
Thanks for the reply. i have had a look but couldnt see any..
The reason i want to downgrade is because of the delayed text messages and poor network reception which i didn't have a problem on 2.2..

If you have upgraded to a GB Rom and radio combination, you may have a problem trying to go back to a Froyo Rom and radio. Although the Rom can be downgraded, you probably will have an issue trying to downgrade the radio and a GB radio with a Froyo Rom will not work. You won't be able to make or hear calls.

Which ROMs have you tried so far?
right i decided to try and go back to 2.2 and couldn't downgrade the radio to a 2.2 one, but really stupidly ran a ruu and lost root access but still had revolutionary.
tried to re-run revolutionary without success so was stuck with 2.3 without root so could not install recovery or anything and no permissions.
eventually got root access back by running superoneclick 2.2.1 now everything is back to normal..
not going to mess anymore as i have messed it up once,next time it'll probably get bricked. i'll just wait for a fix...
Why don't you just try a different gb radio.

I'm a little worried. Thanks,
It could take awhile.... Which radio did you flash? are you still in the screen where the android is out of the box? Be patient bro, no matter what dont take out the battery, or you will brick your device.

Hey rjhay22, thanks for the fast reply.
I flashed back to 4.04 from 4.06 as I was having some serious signal problems and random reboots ever since I updated to Froyo.
It just started writing to radio then the following error
writing 'radio' ... FAILED (remote: image update error) finished.

Ugh can't be too good...
I can still get into recovery, and I just flashed back to the stock ROM without any problems so I don't think I bricked it. Any idea as to why the radio won't flash? Checked the md5 and it was alright. Possibly a prob with the USB cable/laptops end?
Yah, must be a bad download, I suggest downloading the file again and try. which ROM are you on and which radio are you trying to flash? is it the IMG file? or the update.zip file?
If youre trying to flash 4.0.2 (stock) / 4.0.3 / 4.0.4 versions heres a link for an update.zip version.

these radios are Eclair ROM radios, if you're using FroYo then you should use, 4.0.6. otherwise it'll give you camera FC.

Currently just reverted back to Cyanogen 5.0.6 and trying to get back to 4.0.4. Would the best route be to go into recovery and just flash the zip to do this? I was a little scared of doing it before considering my phone was crashing but I'm pretty sure it's stable in recovery.
(I was trying to flash via cmd with the img file in my tools folder before).
Yes, I find it to be easier and less scary to go through the update.zip file... And the link I gave you, I've been using those files to go back and forth on radio. Good luck brother.

so do you guy sreally think that the froyo radio is faulty somehow, particularly for the ATT version of the N1? i'm thinking of going to froyo, but not sure about the new radio (i'm happy with current radio). but then i hear about video problems without new radio.
is it that easy to bounce back and forth?
Hello again lol. Froyo radio works a lot better than the previous ones for me at least. There isn't anything wrong with it, now this might not be true on yours since you are from another carrier . But you can always switch back to the old one, whatever works best for you.

Ok cool, I just gotta figure how how to tell what radio I'm currently using. I'm sure its the previous one that we've been using.
which will be the exact steps to revert my att band N1 to eclair again?
Should i first flash 32.26.00.24U_4.04.00.03_2 radio and then cyanogen's mod? or firts cyanogen's mod and then the 32.26.00.24U_4.04.00.03_2 radio?
im willing to to this, because my gps is not accurate with froyos radio...
Works either way

rjhay22, do you think that the oficial release of froyo will have a better radio for all att band N1's? couse mine is kinda sucky right now... the gps is slow and inaccurate...
What yave you heard, will froyo have 850 and 900 separeted radios?
As of now, google has been quiet about what's going to be in the official release. We can only hope that if they include a different radio in that release, that it would work perfectly on both ATT and T-Mobile devices.

You can tell which radio you are using by going into the bootloader; a few lines from the top I believe.
Also in the main settings menu it shows baseband version and it looks like 4. 00. 04 or something like that. Isn't that the radio info?
How long should it take to flash Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_SF over stock 26.03.02.26_M??? It's been going a good while now and I'm getting freaked out!!
Judging by the radio model, you posted in the wrong forum.
Is Cyanogenmod the only Froyo option for the CDMA Hero? I'm thinking of upgrading from the Sprint 2.1 firmware. I have several questions:
Really Important:
Can I downgrade to the original Sprint 2.1 firmware without breaking anything? I really don't want an expensive phone-shaped paperweight if anything goes wrong.
Can I keep the HTC sense UI (I only want the main menu dialer anyway)? I saw that thread saying Sense 2.2 is about 85% done.
Somewhat Important:
Can I install the wifi tethering app on 2.2 Cyanogenmod?
Does Sprint notice if you tether and cut you off?
Do I have to root my phone?
Isn't giving root to potentially malicious apps a bad idea?
Is giving root on a per-request basis?
Can I remove the stupid Sprint boot animation?

You are already on stock firmware. Do you mean if you go to CM6 can you go back to the stock firmware of 2.1?
Can I keep the HTC sense UI (I only want the main menu dialer anyway)? I saw that thread saying Sense 2.2 is about 85% done? the Froyo rom yo usaw is the wildfire port and its in major alpha form right now. There is no fully operational Froyo sense rom for the hero yet
Somewhat Important:
Can I install the wifi tethering app on 2.2 Cyanogenmod? YES im using it right now
Does Sprint notice if you tether and cut you off? NO there is no way for them to see yo u have root and are using it
Do I have to root my phone? YES in order to go to CM6 or any custom rom you need to. ALong with wireless teething
Isn't giving root to potentially malicious apps a bad idea? Of course there is always a risk for anything. Thats why you nandroid before installing anything or before making setting changes.
Is giving root on a per-request basis? YES..superuser will pop up asking for request for any app that asks for request..you can allow or deny
Can I remove the stupid Sprint boot animation?YES, Cyanogenmod CM6 removes the sprint boot logo with e android cyanogen mod one.

And you can All you'd have to do is RUU
If all you want from Sense is the dialer, there is always Dialer One on the Market. I have been running more AOSP-based ROMs than I ever really ran Sense, so when I finally got bored with the stock dialer and gave it a shot, I didn't even notice it was supposed to replicate the Sense dialer, ha. It's a hell of a lot more customizable, and I think it's much "cleaner" looking overall (especially if you have it set to hide the green dial button in the contact list, and NOT have the keypad when the dialer is open by default, and taking up at least half the screen).
That Wildfire port is old. This is the current ongoing 2.2 Sense port, if you're into that sort of thing: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834840

Yes, the Hero really can't install full Flash 10.1 because the default specs just won't handle Flash. Supposedly its possible with some overclocking and/or JIT enabled, but even then most ppl say it's not perfect.
We can install a Flash Lite plugin to browsers....try searching for that either on the market or through Google.

You can root with .7. I used Regaw's last time I did after an ruu to .7 build. There are great Gingerbread roms now. Aosp flavored like Jaybob's Rom which has the newest .35 kernel baked in; cm7 has begun using that kernel in their builds as well ( although it might not be the newest yet). You can download titanium backup to back up apps and data (sms too). Just follow the directions in the op of whatever Rom you are looking to install.

It worked! That was nice and painless, just don't have your Hero plugged into a USB hub with a dodgy cord like I did. I'm going to go and disable OTA updates as described in the old tutorial. Should I install Cyanogenmod or aosp? It looks like some of the Hero wiki links are pretty dated now, and the only aosp 2.3 link is to a 2.3 aosp labeled unstable and the thread mentioning that the dev quit working on it. I'd love a recommendation on how to get a stable 2.3 install running, I mostly want Exchange sync and tethering.
Id reccomend jaybob rom or kush I'd say jaybob since he still does update from time to time both r still awesome

This doesn't belong in the Development section. It is well known that once you root and install ROM's you will not be able to update over OTA. If you want flash back to stock and use Kies mini to get the update...By the way it's only JH6 which is still Eclair 2.1
I wouldn't know if there are any software update's since i can't update over the air. and i dont wanna go back to stock 2.1 cuz i will loose all of my progress in all of my games that are on my phone.

seriously. read.
2.2 isnt officially out on ATT yet.
if you are running 2.2, then obviously you arent going to get ANY updates from ATT since they are not pushing 2.2 out.
common sense will tell you that if ATT is not providing 2.2 to us, then obviously there wont be any updates since their only update is JH7 which is ECLAIR 2.1-update1
there are about 5.2 million threads in the q/a and general sections that discuss this. please do some reading.
You won't lose your progress in your games if you back up with Titanium Backup, but there is no reason to go back to stock because there are no updates that have anything newer than your Froyo ROM.
as you can see i am a huge noob at this stuff. but to reply to sixstringsg about the titanium backup...how would i use that? cuz it's a app. so if i go back to stock 2.1 that will be deleted, meaning i will have to re-install it and i will still loose my progress.
Install it, and back up all user apps. Then either copy that over to your computer, or your external SD card if you have one, then when you flash back to stock, Root, install Titanium and reinstall through it.

Titanium backup and restore does exactly what it says it does. it will backup and restore apps+data
once on a new rom, you would install titanium backup again and click on RESTORE and it will restore your apps
the apps are saved on your internal SDcard which does not get wiped by merely flashing new rom
Please do some research before posting a new thread, let alone in the wrong section. If you are running 2.2 then you have flashed a rom and know how to search for your answers. It is all there to be read.

why do you think root is causing data connectivity issues?
Because when I don't run my captivate with root, I get my 3g everywhere i normally can. I'm not sure why this happens, but on 2.2 stock I just lose it after a few hours of having root on, and since I was already rooted, it was instantly gone. I wish i knew why that happened on 2.2. But I am back on stock 2.2 and unrooted, just gotta wait for warranty crap now.

this doesnt make any sense. rooting doesnt change your network at all.
I understand that, but for some reason I don't get data connectivity when I am running root. Weird, I know.

Quick question to the vivid folks, does thecubed's restore work? (the one from ICS to GB). I was reading through some of the questions and it seems like some people had trouble working it out. Has anyone had success with it? I dont want to end up like the guy who had his radios deleted...
I can't directly answer your question. If you are stock and un-rooted the update through ATT works really well. I had no issues whatsoever with the update..
My issue with ICS right now is there no voice dialer when using bluetooth. Other than that it is really fluid and works well.
im on the pre rooted ics and i dont really like it. I'm going back to GB.
never used thecubed's method, but i have installed holiraider(gb) rom after ive installed pgs rumfloat(ics) with no problems
just flashed the boot.img through fasboot then flashed the rom zip on cwm
and everything worked fine
hope this helps

I can only assume that when you say "that guy" you mean me, but that method works, but it won't downgrade your radio back to the gb radio. what you thought was deleted radios was a result of swapping out RIL files so the rom didn't know what show in the info because the files are different and can't be swapped out like on other htc phones such as the inspire 4g. and the reason i was playing around with that is because i believe it's what causes people hearing their echo back when i talk to them while i'm on speakerphone.
with that being said, good luck to you. let me know if you have similar issues otherwise ur stuck on ics

I can vouch for this as well. I flashed back and forth between ICS and GB ROMS. Just fastboot flash the boot image and do not try to reflash any HBOOT to go back to GB or you will likely brick your Vivid.
