[Q] Gingerbread ROMs are downgradable?

Slowly, started to appear new Gengerbread ROMs. Someone who installed it, can cofirm, that temp root working? I asked, because i want to know it is possible to downgrade from Gingerbread to Froyo (psneuter and misc_ver method).

Good question, anyone installed them yet? It would be good to know if psneuter still works...

psneuter not work

So far this is what I have found:
You can downgrade but, my IS would not boot pass the HTC splash screen.

Hmm that's weird... It flashes but don't start... Have u tried a factory reset? before and/or after the update? But to be honest this is getting off topic, so please pm me about this, will update the guide as soon this is figured out.

I tried a factory reset before and after downgrading but, it still just loops back to the splash screen.
I was able to update back to a Gb rom.
I am going to try using the ruu instead of the rom.zip.
Update: The ruu did not work.

well my only guess can be is that there is a new bootloader, can you post the version number which is on there. (reboot in bootloader and give hboot version)
perhaps they changed some things, and that downgrading the hboot is making the conflict.
but for absolute clearance: You have a s-on device, upgraded with the goldcard method, and now trying to downgrade again with a goldcard.
And did you get any error messages during the downgrade? like red words or something like that?

HBOOT-1.13.0000

Look at 2nd pic, radio version number is same as in GB-seems that it did not downgraded! (Froyo-38.03.01.08_M; GB 3805.04.03.12_M!!)
Can u try to flash other Froyo ROM? Maybe it will work !!
Another suggestion, try to reflash again Froyo ROM (after first u have HBOOT 1-09-00000, and maybe, 2nd time will be downgrad the radio to 38.03.01.08_M)

Flashing a second time should do the trick than if its possible , I'm quite busy with a lot of things, so not much time for xda.
Let us know if it worked!

Hey

what is about RSPL / HSPL?

I think that the links you posted are for the ones who have NoDo or below but I already have the mango final

easiest way to 'jailbreak' your WP7 device is with a Custom ROM.
check out the tutorial in my signature.

i already tried it but when I get to the step where I have to use task 00 I get an error..
but an another question is whether it is possible to flash original nodo over original Mango and if yes how do I do that?

I had Official Mango too. Used the same signature links last week and everything works. Win7 x64, HTC HD7

yes, it is possible to flash a pre-Mango Shipped ROM specific to your device, but only if your OSPL isn't 5.x

Well thank you for your reply!
I am absolutely confused!
I just want to upgrade to your's intrinsic 4.0.1 T-Mobile US edition.
So... following the instructions under your signature, first i am trying to downgrade to a different radio with HD7_RUUWrapper_00 (Ex. 1.20.531.01 or 1.54.531.02 or 3.01.531.02) but the bar on my phone stucks at 0.00% and then i have the error 262. tried different pcs and different radios.
Is it necessary to change the radio before doing that upgrade?
And is it possible to make that update via zune? (i mean to copy your's intrinsic 4.0.1 T-Mobile US edition files at some specific zune's folder and complete then the procedure some-how?
Thank you once again!

if you have Bootloader 1.54, you don't need to downgrade OSPL first with SPL_Signed.nbh
though, you'll need to XSPL before you can flash a Custom ROM or Unsigned Radios.
i do not believe it is possible to do that via Zune.

You bring up the configuration of your phone

I am HTC HD7 version 7.10.7740.16

Now I wanted to know...
A. How to firstly unlock the phone KEEPING the same ROM. (I don't want to flash any ROM)
B. What are the possibilities once I unlock it? What are the things I can do with this phone...
Primary reason to unlock is games...I want to play lots of games...
(In fact, am almost on the verge of selling it for it being so locked down.)
Any help...

you have the Asia WWE HD7.
ansar's SLSPL won't be able to be used, unfortunately.
only way for you to downgrade SPL, aka Bootloader, is to Zune pre-Mango (i.e. NoDo) restore, here or this here.
i don't know how to explain further, sorry.

as far as i know, (have been out of the game for a bit) with OSPL (aka Original Bootloader) 5.xx can't be downgraded while retaining the current OS. but it can be returned to a stock Shipped ROM, instead of a Custom ROM.

Lost with the SPL stuff.

I am wanting to downgrade my SPL so i can install an unlocked ROM on my HD7.
The OSPL is 5.0.2250.1
I have looked at many threads but am just getting so confused.
I have also tried the ansar thread but cant download the file from rapidshare.
Can any body post the right links for me to do the downgrade?
Im not new to Rooting/jailbreaking/unlocking devices But WP7 has me stumped.

you have Asia WWE...
if you are looking to flash a Custom ROM... you'll first need to downgrade your Bootloader.
OSPL is a stock locked Bootloader.
RSPL is a temporary unlocked Bootloader, which reverts to OSPL after reset.
HSPL is a permanent unlocked Bootloader, which replaces OSPL.
you'll need to downgrade your Bootloader, in order to XSPL.
i wrote a tutorial, link is in my signature.
refer to Step 07 or Step 08.

See bold print , and also I cant do the goldcard way.

you won't be able to use ansar's SLSPL, it is for Europe only. you have Asia WWE.
you needn't need the goldcard, only the method of doing it.

the goldcard way looks more of a hassle , Might just leave it.
Thanks for your help dude.

If anybody has ideas let me know.

[Q] Stock image / rom

Well, I've been trying to use some custom roms and after all I restored the backup I made before, everything fine.
Today I wanted to try to use a custom rom again but it wouldn't work so I decided to wait for the official ICS release for the IncS. And here we get to my problem: When I restore the backup, and manually flash the boot.img (have to do this manually, got S-ON) and I boot my phone it gets to the HTC bootscreen, reboots and automatically gets to the CWM recovery.
Can anyone provide me an original boot.img (I haven't found it yet) or the whole standard android rom? If you have another solution, I would like to hear it!

You can find the latest OTA in the Android Dev section. If you would use the search function ( yeah we really have a "search" function.. ) you would easily find it. If you want your boot.img we do need what for a Rom from which carrier you got.

Actually I DID use the search, but I haven't found any stock roms for the IncS.. I would like a boot.img for T-Mobile carrier (that's what a 'carrier' is right?).

I have just been reviewing your posts and you posted that you applied the OTA and received HBOOT 2.01.0001, correct?
Then the RUU/ROM you need is the 3.11.405.2 version.
You also stated that you were able to unlock HBOOT 2.01.0001 using the HTCDEV.com site, correct? Which custom recovery did you install after that?

That's all correct, I installed the CWM recovery after that, not sure which version, the most recent one if I'm sure. I notice that the RUU/ROMS are .exe, do I flash these the same way as a .zip rom?

No, you run the exe on a PC and follow the directions on the screens. The program will tell you when to connect your phone to the PC using the USB cable.
This will completely wipe your phone and reload the ROM. Your HBOOT screen will probably show RELOCKED and you will need to unlock it again. Please confirm.

You can sync your contacts to your Google/Gmail account or save them to your SD cards. You can use Titanium Backup to backup apps and some settings.

Well this sucks: The ROM Updatestff can't update the Android hpone. Get the right ROM Update program and try again.
Were you sure that this is the right one? ;p

This is the only one that has HBOOT 2.01.0001. You will also need to relock your HBOOT before you run the RUU using the command:
