You cannot downgrade your bootloader. I think you're stuck until someone finds a way to root the new HBOOT.
I just want to go back to the stock android 2.1 , then update it to 2.2 ofiicially without rooting
The 'custom ROM' you flashed is actually official FroYo. There would be no difference even if you downgraded and got official FroYo. (Its not possible yet as stated above anyway, but, just letting you know)
Hi,
So I just got my first smartphone ever yesterday and been pretty much tinkering with it the whole day long (I'm very slow/newbie with these things).
I unlocked the bootloader, got a recovery image TWRP and then rooted it with SuperSU.
Since then I've made a titanium backup and nanodroid backup through TWRP of everything.
And I've been checking out a few custom roms for Jelly Bean 4.2.2 the newest version I believe? And Android Revolution HD 11.0
seemed really nice: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183023
But I found out that the OTA update Jelly Bean 4.2.2 for HTC One is coming out Really Really soon and I'm currently running 4.1.2. Is it possible for me to receive & install that update without any problems since I haven't flashed any custom roms?
Or will I need to unroot my phone, relock my bootloader and change my recovery image to the stock image? (And if so where can I get the stock image of HTC One?)
I've been on these forums like the whole day and it's very interesting and informative, but it's SO INCREDIBLY MUCH to take in. So I'm really sorry if these questions have been answered before. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
So far I love my phone though! superfast and supersmooth haha.
Well, I think you're one of the few people here who can read AND comprehend what's going on.
ARHD 11.5 is based on the official Taiwan release of Android 4.2.2; 2.24.709.1.
Decide whether you want official ROM release, which, as you meantioned, requires stock ROM and stock recovery to be able to receive and apply the OTA, or, custom ROMs, in which case, just flash the latest ARHD.
yes, inorder to get the OTA installed, need Stock recovery and stock rom.....
Thanks Guys!
Just one more question.
My current firmware is 1.29.707.16.
And the latest ARHD is based on 2.24.401.1.
Would there be any issues if I flashed it? Or is it recommended that I flash that firmware before flashing the rom?
Or do I need another firmware entirely (2.24.709.1), since I'm using the asian/taiwan firmware and not the european one.
My phone has S-off and SuperCID, if that makes any difference in the matter.
Once again thanks for all your help!
So I've been sitting on 4.1.2 and 1.29 Software for a while because I didn't wanted to tamper with my root. Recently decided to update, but I want to install the Custom Rom from Hawknest:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2496069
My main question is do I need to update to 4.3(Or 4.4?) before flashing in Ecliptic on TWRP or can I skip that part and simply flash in the Rom?
If I have to update, how do I update manually? Updating over the air sends me to TWRP after installing and I'm guessing this is because installing from OTA will get me unrooted. Finally, how do I know which is the correct ROM for me, he has KitKat and JellyBean as downloadables so I am uncertain. I'm guessing JellyBean, but I would like to get KitKat if possible.
My phone has:
Software 1.29.651.10
Firmware 4.1.2
HTCSense 5.0
I'm S-On on TWRP 2.6
Well what i did yesterday was go to Ecliptic kitkat from 4.1.2 just did bootloader and s_off rooted and install rexovery in rexovery did 3 full wipes (just in case) flash kitkat then the lastest modem for our sprint one niw im good and rolling

all the questions you have can be answered with bd19 frequently asked in q&a its very resourceful! also make sure you understand the file structure change after 4.1 or can have storage issues, also in q&a. imo getting s-off before doing anything would be a good starting point. good luck!
If I'm not mistaken you're also going to need to update your touch firmware as well

Hello, I have upgraded to 5.0.2. via OTA a few days ago. My phone was RetEU .23, and the update notification that 5.0.2. became so annoying, so I decided to give it a shot. Lollipop is a disappointment for me, battery drain issues, lagging all over the menus, slow dialer, the phone was running better with KK installed, so I want to return back to 4.4.4.
Unfortunately there is no clear opinion whether this could be done, some say that when you have 5.0.2. bootloader installed with the OTA, you cannot go back, others say that it is no problem to do so. Really confusing.
Anyone tried to go back to 4.4.4. after getting the OTA? Could you please share how did you do so? Unlocking the bootloader and flashing one of the 4.4.4 stock ROMs from the General Section?

Hello,
i actually switched from 5.0.2 back to KK 4.4.4 from Pizza_dox
when your bootloader is unlocked and you have TWRP installed
follow these instructions
1, go do a factory reset
2, go to advanced wipe and select :dalvik cache/system/data/internal storage/cache
when you did that there is no system on your phone so when you restart you will be going into an endless bootloop.
3, go press install and select the Microkat.zip file from Pizza_Dox
when that is done you have agian kitkat on your device
i think there some other methods but this is how i did it succesfully.
Also dont forget to make a backup because you will lose everything.

Thanks for your comment. I actually plan to go back to the stock 4.4.4. I have a basic idea of bootloader and things but not deep into this and have never done it before. From what I have read , I will have to:
1. First I need to unlock the bootloader, as per the instructions in the Moto website.
2. Then I will need to do a factory reset. (settings-secuirity-factory reset or some other way of doing this?)
3. Download 4.4.4 firmware + script.
4. Start up with Power+VolDown buttons and have bootloader menu on screen
5. Run the downloaded script from its .bat file.
6. Wait for some time for the flashing to end, then have stock 4.4.4
Please correct me if something is wrong or missed.

What i did...
Download the correct kk stock rom
Setup my drivers and mfastboot correctly (simple fast boot works too)
Unlocked bootloader. (Voids warranty coz gives bootloader status 3)
Reboot in bootloader now...
Flash all files of kitkat except gpt.bin and motoboot.bin (they never flash for me lol )
Flash all other files (i typed filenames manually)
Fastboot reboot
Ps - no matter what i do..i have not been able to lock my bootloader once i downgraded from 5.0.2 to 4.4.4
Locking bootloader works well on 5.0.2

well guess im gonna try - but no need to do, as makes no difference except to downgrading.... So best off unlocked
simply use the 4.4.4 link in my signature and pick firmware 2 or B called DSDSALL to go back to 4.4.4 .23 ret(xx)
So, it has been confirmed by several forums that when you have officially received the 5.0.2 OTA download update, you cannot go back to KK.
It has something to do with the new L bootloader. I guess that there is no way of doing this, up to now at least. Don't know if someone has tried and succeeded.
When you have flashed the 5.0.2. OTA however, you can have KK installed back, as most of the users on xda.

Cheers mate. Already installed stock 4.4.4.

Successful downgrade from 5.0.2 to 4.4.4
Dear All,
Pls help me in downgrading from 5.0.2 to 4.4.4 on my XT1068 Dual Sim Indian Version.
I need to know whether we can return to 4.4.4 without unlocking bootloader and is rooting needed.
Pls let me know your experience in a noob friendly way.
TIA... :angel:

Hi All,
I had S5 on 4.4.2 . Upgraded to 5.0 in following manner using OTA packages - using stock recovery
4.4.2 -> 4.4.4 -> 5.0
I would like to downgrade back to 4.4..4
Which method can I follow?
Want to downgrade because QXDM mode is not working in 5.0
Thanks
Not possible yet , I can't find a 4.4.4 firmware or tar file to try either . I Ave tried everything else I could find
The bootloader on 5.0 makes it impossible to downgrade. There are multiple threads about it.
No solution as of yet, and possibly never will be. They locked the piss out it.
