I have an Incredible S running froyo. I used the alpha method to S-Off then I rooted the phone. Since I was rooted I decided to add a rooted gingerbread rom. I extracted the rom.zip from the gingerbread RUU for my phone and ran the rom.zip through the Rom Kitchen. Only option I picked was to root. (Kept it simple) The rom wouldn't flash. Kept getting stuck on the slash screen so I used recovery and went back to my working froyo backup. Then I decided to download CM7 rom and flash it. The same thing stuck on CM7 splash screen. Used recovery and went back to my working froyo backup. I figured maybe I need a gingerbread radio for the roms to boot. I installed eng hboot and flashed the gingerbread radio for my phone. I tried installing both my rom and the cm7 rom with no luck. Both roms get stuck on flash screen. So I used recovery to go back to my working froyo backup. Now I'm stuck with a Froyo rom and a Gingerbread radio.(No sound on calls) I tried flashing the original froyo radio but after flashing the froyo radio my phones go into a boot loop with the HTC splash screen. So I flash the gingerbread radio and phone boots up and works again except no sound on the calls because of the gingerbread radio.
So my question. How do I downgrade from a gingerbread radio to a froyo radio? The flash methods I used to originally flash my radio do not work.
Glad to know I'm not the only one that bricked it like that xD... I don't think you can
downgrade... I am thinking about maybe trying to flash Optus through fastboot, but I'm unsure if that will work... But another option is to use a ROM like Revolution or CM7 which are gingerbread.
Same here bro!!!
Same here bros
I got my IS with foryo 2.2, was working fine. I thought to update to gingerbread but was not aware then i will not be able to downgrade or S-OFF.
I just got Gingerbread OTA update of 83.3MB, just updated and now its working fine but
no S-OFF, no customer recovery, no Custom roms
dieing to Downgrade so that i can do S-OFF for rooting and custom rom installation
ANY BODY HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First try the AlphaRevX method to S-Off. From there you should be able to install custom recovery, root, and install custom roms. If you can not S-Off with the AlphaRevX method then install a gingerbread rom on your phone from another region through gold card method then use the AlphaRevX method to S-Off. (Most people been using the Australia Optus Rom)

Yeah that is the method I used. I thought with eng hboot I had the flexability to bounce between radios but for what ever reason once you go to a gingerbread you can't go back to a froyo radio.

Does anyone have an HTC Raider 4G LTE on Bell and can provide me with a Stock Firmware? I tried a custom rom and stupid me, didn't back up my stock one .
I really need to get back to a Stock rom as it seems the custom one on this site is Korean
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
you mean like the ones posted here on XDA?

Thanks Pirateghost - I've tried the on with BM in the name as I'm guessing that's for Bell Mobility. I am getting an error 155 when trying to run the flash.
My Raider has CWM installed on it and a rooted mod. I've booted using the Power-VolDown button and put it into FastLoad. It seems to reboot when the update starts but then just sits at the HTC logo and the flash tool errors out with 155.
Any ideas?
I'm trying to extract the rom.zip from the EXE using Process Monitor. When I find the rom.zip, it seems to be corrupt. Can you confirm that the there is correct?
I was able to finally extra the rom.zip from the BM RUU and everything flashes except for the system image . It says data length is too large.
So I'm kinda stuck right now with this other ROM.
If anyone knows of another source for an HTC Holiday/Raider 4G on Bell (BM), please let me know!
Thanks
OEM LOCK the device BEFORE running the RUU upgrade!!!
Figured it out!!!
You need to re-lock the bootloader before the RUU will actually succeed!
fastboot oem lock
As I'm not cool enough to post in the Development section, can someone post an update to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351717 and let the person know there who is having the same problem I am that he/she needs to re-lock the bootloader before they can apply the RUU? [email protected]!!!
As a quick FYI, I spent a lot of time yesterday trying to get the stock RUU update to flash my HTC Raider. I played around with a custom ROM and wasn't too happy with it, but stupidly I didn't backup my stock rom with CWM... Lesson learned!
Anyways, if you are trying to go back to stock and are hitting Error 155 during the RUU Update, try re-locking the bootload with "fastboot eom lock". I tried this today and the stock firmware flashed on first try and I'm back to the good old Bell bloat!
Hope this helps anyone!
Hi I was trying to make a rom and ended up in a bootloop, so i made a mistake and flashed the boot.img from the android sdk folder to my raider and now I can't get into hboot, but with adb can get into cwm. i did have a backup and can restore the backup.
now when the restore is complete i try to restart and the phone hangs at the htc logo, then the screen turns black. phone never boots.
any ideas on what might fix this?
Thanks

Can you get back into HBOOT now that you did the restore?
I'm by far no expert but I'm curious if you can get back to HBOOT if you can put it into fastboot, re-lock the bootloader (fastboot oem lock) and then use the RUU to restore back to stock. That should fix the boot image and I you then can start the process over again by unlocking and playing.
That's what I did and I'm back to a non-bricked phone. You can get the Holiday (aka Raider) RUUs by searching these forums. Just download the one for your carrier.
Good luck

I guess here is a problem.
I flashed CWM recovery and new HoliCakes kernel and had to use HoliRaider ROM because Stock ROM couldn't boot up.
Is it possible to rolllback at this point?

Right after you installed the recovery you should do a back up if your planning on flashing roms and kernels so that way you have your original rom to fall back on. So to answer your question..if you didnt do a back up then no, you will have to load the rogers ruu. Sucks I did the same thing too before.

yeah, it sucks. too bad I had that backup and then deleted it.
you mentioned
>you will have to load the rogers ruu.
does it mean I can still use a stock Rogers RUU ROM posted in this thread to revert the phone even though I lost my original ROM backup ?
Yeah you can flash the ruu...it will revert your phone back to stock then you can go through the steps of unlocking your boot loader, install the recovery and root your phone then flash a custom rom if you like.

Hi, do you have a fresh link to this file?

If I am correct I can install a Custom Rom with out turning S-Off if I install a extra image. Am I correct on this or do I need to turn S-Off to use custom rom. I been trying to try and read everything I can but getting a little lost on the custom rom. I have turned off the Bootloader from HTC Dev and Rooted. Also I have CWM installed can I install a Rom like I would with a Samsung. Ex. Log into the recovery and point it to the zip I want and install and reboot or is there a step I need to add as I do not have S-Off. Thanks for the help.
Have a look in the superguide, it has all you need to flash roms You can flash custom roms with your setup with cwm, depends on your HBOOT (when you fastboot flash things). There are steps in the superguide, you may have to update it

Think I got it.
You need S-Off if you going from a stock GB rom to a ICS rom. Now if Rogers ( My Provider ) updates to a ICS rom then I will not need to have S-Off to put a custom rom on my phone. My Next Question is - Is it possible to update my phone to a AT&T stock ICS rom. Then from there update to a custom firmware ICS rom. With out doing S-Off. I know for samsung you could put AT&T roms on a Rogers Phone and all you had to do was fix the APN. Is this the same as HTC.
Ah, sorry, misread the 'Rogers' part... I'm pretty sure (someone with more knowlege should verify this...) you can't, something to do with the region/carrier which I think is the HBOOT is not compatible with any other roms from other regions; I remember reading a post from bannanacakes and he said something along the lines of not being able to get ICS until either his carrier provided it, or until s-off came along... I'm 99% sure you do need s-off to get ICS... sorry, wish I knew more, I'm in a bit of a hurry, so no time to read more, will add to this after a bit of a read
EDIT:
ah, here you are, this is if you want ICS on Rogers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1612685

And it does confirm that you do need s-off :/
Thanks that gives me some stuff to think about. I may wait for the Rogers ICS.
