At this time downgrade is not possible.
Well that sucks...
Does anybody know if Hboot 2.0 can be unlocked though HTCDev website?
Unlocked 2.00.0000 via HTCDEV today. It's ok, i've installed recovery using image from 4ext, using next command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img,
and then successfully installed root from this recovery.
But there is some changes in this HBOOT and i can't install any custom rom via this recovery. And recovery does not update using 4extRecoveryUpdater, only using fastboot.
Now i have UNLOCKED HBOOT 2.00.0000, 4EXT Recovery Touch (i've backupd my off ROM and it can be restored if any problems - that works), Superuser app.

Does this new hboot allow you to flash the boot/recovery partitions from recovery? It's really annoying how 1.16 doesn't allow you to do that as I wouldn't have had a reason to downgrade and S-OFF if it unlocked everything properly.
If someone with locked boot 2 could try my downgrade guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1373697 and report back if there's any problems it would be very helpful in creating a workaround if it's necessary.

You need to unlock boot loader by using htcdev.com and get a full root access(flash recovery and superuser), then use misc_version to patch partition 17.

The latest version of SuperOneClick v 2.3 has the ZergRush root exploit which has worked on other HTC unlocked HBoots to root the system. You may want to give that a try.

You should flash CWM or 4EXTRecovery to flash superuser binary and the apk file. Then use adb to copy the misc_version to /data/local/tmp and run it.

It says : Simply install this patch via CWM and reboot. From there you can proceed to run any root apps you need (such as Titanium).
I am S-OFF but I can not install CWM due to not being rooted.

What is Sensation root got to do with IS root ?
My problem is I just flashed the newest GB WWE rom for IS and I dont know how to root it yet although I have a XTC Clip S-OFF'ed IS.
gingerbreak doesn't work?
Since this is the latest RUU , I think gingerbreak needs a patch
so you are still s-off? after flashing the latest ruu, hboot and all?

how about the other method.where you use a file to run in recovery?
CWM Recovery...
Ok copy the attached .zip file at the root of our SD Card and reboot into Bootloader by holding the Vol Down button and power button.
It will install the Latest CWM Recovery on your phone from Fastboot menu and after that you can install SU and Busybox from market and root your device
Don't forget to delete the file from you SD Card later otherwise next time when you'll boot again in Bootloader it will start installing recovery again
Alternately if you have Android SDK setup on your PC and ADB commands are working from your PC then you can unzip this file and go into the folder where its extracted and run this command to flash it from your PC:
"adb reboot bootloader"
This will reboot your phone into Bootloader.
After that run this command:
"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
This will flash new recovery in there. Just reboot after this finish from your device.
I rooted 2.30.405.1 like this on my device.
You might have to flash SU using recovery later if it doesnt install from Market.

Sorry for the delayed reply. I was traveling to another city so couldn't respond in time.
Good that everything worked out for you
That's why I said in my earlier post that if SU doesn't install then flash it using recovery. When SU installation fails it copies the SU binaries on SD Card to flash using Recovery and that way your installation completes

I put the rom.zip file and renamed to PG32IMG and flashed via fastboot but still stuck on white screen.
Been searching for fix for 5 hours but dont know what to do. Need phone for work tomorrow what a mess !!

If you unlocked using htcdev.com you still have to flash the boot.img manually, otherways it will be stuck at white screen with HTC in green letters.

Rerun the ruu.exe, but while you're still in the setup, find the rom.zip somewhere in your Temp folder on your computer.
Rename to PG32IMG.zip and put at the root of your SD card.
Now reboot in bootloader.
Maybe this works but I'm not sure, and don't blame me if something goes wrong, because I'm still new here.

OK, since you are S-OFF using Revolutionary, you will not be able to install the latest Sense 3.0 RUU because Revolutionary is preventing the RUU from overwriting its HBOOT with the locked HBOOT 2.00. The reason you are getting stuck on the white screen is because the Sense 3.0 RUU requires the locked HBOOT 2.00 be present.
Look in the Development section This is a stock, rooted ROM based on the Sense 3.0 RUU that you can flash since you are S-OFF. First you will need to reinstall ClockworkMod recovery and then you can flash the stocked, rooted ROM or any custom ROM.
If you really want to return to stock using the Sense 3.0, then you need to search this forum for the way to return to S-ON and then you can flash the RUU.
Hope this helps.

OK, if you can't connect with USB then FASTBOOT USB mode isn't an option. You need to create a PG32IMG.zip with the CWM recovery.img file in it, copy it to your SD card and flash it from HBOOT mode.

This will not work with the official Sense 3.0 RUU/ROM that he is using!!!! You can flash that boot.img all you want, but if you do not have HBOOT 2.00 installed on the phone, this ROM and boot.img will not work! It will bootloop on the white screen.
That boot.img requires that HBOOT 2.00 be installed because it uses a new /LIB partition to be mounted and HBOOT 2.00 is the only one that supports it.

Ok, so you modified a PG32IMG.zip file and replaced the recovery.img file right?
Then you copied that file to our SD card and booted into HBOOT and that ran OK?
Where did the PG32IMG.zip file come from originally and what recovery image was in it?
I think you need to download the 3.09.708.2 RUU and use the recovery image from the ROM.zip file. You will need to unlock your bootloader again and then I would try flashing the recovery.img directly in FASTBOOT USB mode using the command
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Then relock the bootloader and try installing the OTA again.

Another thought. While you were rooted, did you delete any apps from the ROM? If so that is another reason why the OTA would show progress and then just stop.
If extracting the recovery.img from the RUU doesn't work, you will have to reinstall the RUU to go back to a complete stock ROM and then the OTA will install,

Where did you buy your phone? You should run proper RUU (according to phone's region) then you'll be stock and able to receive any OTA you might be prompted.

i bought it from my service provider and didn't flash any other ROM before, only the recovery, so I think its ok?
You gonna need stock recovery to be able to receive OTA. So you better saying which country is it of your service provider to get proper stock recovery from RUU.

Yes, you need root, I thinked you had
But, you can do this before flashing a custom recovery so you can backupping your recovery

Wait.
You will backuping the stock recovery for?
Because if you won't root the phone and flash a custom recovery, you never won't lose the stock recovery.
However, yes, you can, but this don't have a lot of sense.
You will lose your warranty for a backup of the stock recovery?
Don't have a lot of sense

You want root your phone?
If yes you can do this:
1) Unlock your bootloader
2) Backupping the stock recovery as i said
3) Flash a custom recovery
4) Do a backup of the stock rom
5) Do the root or flash a custom rom

So, wait, have you flashed the custom recovery?
If not, don't do this, relock the bootloader and wait for the update...

No, firmware upgrade cannot be done through CWM. U need to use fastboot RUU command

Thanks for that. Is there a specific guide or software tool for that? I don't like doing this process through command line.
