You have posted a general question in the Developement forum. Anyway, it's not possible.

look at the bright side
I, too, mistakingly upgrade to 2.30.405.1. Looking forward to a way to be downgraded and S-off.
At the mean time, however, I made myself enjoin using better FM-Radio signal and much better image quality from camera in 2.30.405.1.
Note: my previous built was Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.12.405.7

it is possible to flash another RUU ROM using goldcard on a phone that comes with 2.30.405.1 ?

No. You can't go 'backwards' with a Goldcard, just flash RUUs from different regions. If that were possible to do, then everyone on 2.30.405.1 would be able to downgrade and root easily and there wouldn't be any problems with it.

You have to flash the 2.12 Rom.zip via sd (gold) but change the 2.12 version number in the android-text to 2.30...worked for me...

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but that will only work if you have S-OFF because by modifying the contents of the android-text file in the PG32IMG.zip file will invalidate the HTC signature and the HBOOT loader will fail trying to flash it an unsigned file.

I think that must be true, otherwise everyone would be doing it to get S-OFF!

but you can flash a RUU of a different region and then use AlphaRevX to go S-OFF right? (sorry for asking a noob off-topic question)

Not necessarily, it depends on the ROM you're currently running. For the most part you can use a gold card to flash an RUU that's the same version or newer than what you're running currently, which is useful to get a ROM that doesn't have the exploit patched that AlphaRevX uses. Some carrier's ROMs can't be flashed at all, no matter what, gold card or not. For example the latest Verizon Wireless ROM is completely locked down and can't be flashed/rooted/S-OFF'd without using an XTC Clip. Other carriers are better about leaving the ROM's alone. All you can do is try and see what happens.

i tried it, creat gold card and extract rom.zip from 2.12 ruu and rename it to PG32IMG.zip an run bootloader. in hboot see this:
loading...PG32IMG.zip
when load complete:
checking...PG32IMG.zip
and after this step back to main hboot page and after reboot NO HAPPENS to my phone!!! my last rom is still alive you sure this way worked for you????

Even with a goldcard, if you are S-ON and you modify the PG32IMG.zip by editting the android-info.txt file to change the version, you no longer have a HTC signature on the zip file and it will not flash. With S-ON you will not be able to flash a ROM that has a version number less than 2.30.xxx.x

Then have anyone known what "ROM that has a version number greater than or equal to 2.30.xxx.x" and can be S-off by "Alpharevx".

I also tried the same, even with a gold card. I think it worked for him because he is already S-OFF.

There is nothing we can do until a temp root method is found for 2.30. Or we could use an xtc clip to gain s-off.

if i use the clipm then will it be s-offed forever? or if u update hboot, then its fall back to s-on?

The XTC clip will give you permanent S-OFF. Flashing a new HBOOT will not affect the S-OFF setting.

S-off + 2.30.405.1 = true
(if you are not monitoring the other thread)
a friend claims that the latest release(04pre3) NOW (did not before with earlier version) can S-OFF 2.30.405.1

Ok, so you took the WWE 2.30.405.1 RUU and extracted the ROM.zip and copied it to your SD card and renamed it PG32IMG.zip, right? That should be the correct ROM to flash for a S710E IncS (European), so I'm not sure why you are getting the wrong Model Id, especially since you are S-OFF.

Y cant u use other rom which is related to ur region?
Did you s-off via revolutionary method?

Ye i did exactly as you mentioned tbpklake its baffling me aswell
The phone was s-off when I recieved it with revolution hd flashed on it
If anyone can help is really be delighted all the sensors on the phone aren't working and the usb slot isn't functioning properly can only charge from it my heads wrecked

OK, it is a fully rooted version of the stock ROM you are trying to flash. Why don't you try it.

give me the android-info.txt file of your rom you are flashing.

rewrite the model id of ur rom. make new txt file, rename to android-info.txt, and rewrite it
how?
fastboot usb
cmd : fastboot getvar all
then copy down modelid, cidnum, and mainver
format:
modelid:
cidnum:
mainver:
then paste it into your rom. try and see if it works ( it did for me)
edit: pasting into your rom means, unzip your rom.zip, then repack them into PG32IMG.zip using winrar or whatever

should work. i was going to do the same thing but he didn't respond

aplogies for only resonding now i have only recently got back online ive downloaded RUU_VIVO_SENSE30_S_HTC_WWE_3.08.405.3_Radio_20.480 2.30.0822U_3822.10.08.28_M_release_227170_signed.exe
and i'm having the exact same error as before which i mentioned in my first post
i can only flash via sd card since my usb is only letting me charge my phone and not connect it to the computer error 43 occurs
i cant fastboot usb because my usb wont connect to my phone wont connect to my computer is there any other way i can get those values you mentioned

S-on your phone first then try flashing again..
And download the gold card helper from market and double check the reverse cid number before you make gold card this time..
Gold card doesn't work once you format your sdcard so you have to make gold card again after formatting..

I think its not possible without USB connection because we flash hboot files via fastboot command, and if it is possible I don't know the method of doing that sorry bro..

This method alone won't give s-on.. after doing this you have to extract hboot.img from the Rom you just flashed and push it to device via fastboot command and for that we need USB working if I am not wrong..
Fastboot flash hboot <hboot file name.img>

Are you from canada? If so you need to change one number in the text file in the ruu. Get back to me and let me know..I flashed a radio and had to do the same thing

Changing the CID is not going to get you around the model id error. You need to be S-OFF and then you can manually edit the andrioid-info.txt and add the modelid to it.

i got s-off so now just i need change cid in android text
is it risk?

Which RUU are you attempting to run? What you need to do is extract the ROM.zip from the RUU and then in the ROM.zip there is a file called android-info.txt that you need to edit and add a modelid= line to it for your modelid. Then you copy that ROM.zip file to your SD card and rename it PG32IMG.zip and reboot into bootloader and it will attempt to load the rom image.
Get into FASTBOOT USB mode and enter the following command and post the results:
fastboot getvar all
That will give us a true picture of what phone model you have and what you need to do.

Of course it is a risk. Especially considering even after you were told its the modelid that needed to be changed and you are still going on about the Cid.

i need to know what the risk if i add cid to rom.zip?

hashnoz said:

The risk is that you are not understanding what you are being told to do. You will not solve our problem by changing the CID value.
The risk of modifying a ROM.zip with S-Off is that you cold flash one that is not compatible with your phone, thus the reason you were asked to run the Fastboot getvar all command so that we can help ou determine the correct RUU you should be working with.

Ok now we are getting some information that is useful. You will definitely need to modify the android-info.txt and add the line modelid=PG3212000 to the top of the file if you want to flash an official PG32IMG.zip file extracted from an RUU.
If you are S-Off why don't you install one of the stock, rooted ROMs in the Dvelpment section that were created from the WWE RUUs?
There is one based on WWE 2.30.405.1 which is the original GB/Sense 2.1 RUU and there is one based on WWE 3.08.405.3 which is the latest GB/Sense 3.0 RUU. I have installed and ran both of these on my Canadian IncS.

i edit the android.text but i cant install i have eng-soff what i need to do?

What error did you get? After you edited the android-info.txt file, did you then copy the ROM.zip file to your SD card and rename it PG32IMG.zip?

this not error just when checking the rom in bootloader didnt install anything

OK, in order to help us solve this, we need for you to post the contents of the android-info.txt that you modified and also from FASTBOOT USB mode, please run the following command and post the results:
fastboot getvar all
This will give us all of the details we need to assist you in getting straightened out.
Once again, since you are S-OFF you could simply go to the Development section and get the stock, rooted version of 3.08.405.3/Sense 3.0 ROM that you can simply flash from CWM Recovery and be done with it. You would still have S-OFF and root.

Which RUU do I need?

Puuuh...
Ive pushed unlimited.io hboot for SuperCID, it worked easy because I was already on Fardjadb´s HBOOT.
Then I installed the ICS RUU. It failed after a time but USB works now - also for Phone (Can see all my Videos Photos bla bla...)

Thanks for the reminder and the link (this is 3.39?)! Last time I did this was on a m8 gpe a few years ago. The .zip should simply be located in the root of /sdcard (internal), correct?
The .zip will need to be removed on future reboots or the RUU will run again automatically?
BTW, the error message using the RUU .exe from htc was "155" ... [FONT=&quot]

[FONT=&quot]One of these error messages will appear when you use the incorrect RUU to update and the image file size is larger than the Flash ROM size. In this case, download the correct RUU version and try again.[/FONT]

Changed CID to T-MOB010 & changed MID to 0PJA12000 ...success. Perhaps it all came down to just the MID change and could have stayed SUPERCID...not sure but mission accomplished.
