How to downgrade to 1.32.405.6 WWE (Htc Desire HD)

The problems started when HTC released their 1.72.405.3 OTA update. That update could not be rooted, and many people got stuck in stock roms. Now a downgrade method has arrived! After this process, you can use any root (+ S-OFF) method you want. Basically your device will be just like any other Desire HD with older build version.


System requirements:

• HTC Sync (or ADB drivers)
• Desire HD with build number 1.72 or higher
• [WARNING] Telus DHDs may lose sound because current older base ROMs are not yet compatible with it. Raidroid Series Telus is rooted stock, and works fine.
• Download and unrar it.  

How to downgrade:

• IF you have a branded device, you have to make a Goldcard. Use "mmc2" instead of "mmc1"!!
• Download the attached file and extract it
• Get stock 1.32 PD98IMG.zip ROM
• Connect Desire HD to a computer. Charge only, USB Debugging enabled!
• Open up a cmd and go to Downgrade folder, execute:

Quote:

adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/psneuter adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version adb shell /data/local/tmp/psneuter adb shell

If you got "#" in the result, you have temproot! Proceed:

Quote:

cd /data/local/tmp ./misc_version -s 1.31.405.6

• Put PD98IMG.zip to your SD card. You can close the cmd and set connection to disk drive.
• Reboot while holding volume down, it will go to the bootloader
• Follow the instructions
• Done. You can now proceed with old S-OFF methods, and remove the PD98IMG.zip from your SD. I recommend Radio S-OFF for new users.

FAQ: Q: Will I lose all my settings and applications? - Yes, so make a backup with MyBackup Pro. Q: I have done Radio S-OFF and SuperCID, do I need this? - No, with those you do not need this kind of trickery. Q: It says '#' but I still cannot use root applications! - That is normal, this method only gives root in command line. Just go ahead and downgrade.

Troubleshooting: - "Main version is older"? You did not type everything correctly. Please try it again and see if any errors come up. - "Error opening backup file"? You did not use "Charge only" -connection, or your SD card is faulty. - "CID mismatch/CID incorrect"? Your device is branded. Just make a Goldcard, put the PD98IMG.zip to the card again and go to the bootloader. - Zip will not load in bootloader? Format your SD card to FAT32, no quick format! You can try another SD. - Problems while making Goldcard? See this post. - PD98IMG.zip md5sum is: C3D244A9F056E48EE3851A14FF52204C
