Guest Andrea Florio Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Downgrading HBoot shouldn't be too difficult, provided we can get root, even temp root should suffice. Paul mentioned using GingerBreak for temp root, but I have been unable to duplicate that. I used ADB to push GingerBreak to the Desire, and it seems to do its thing without throwing an error, but still no root. :( as soon as we have even temp root. i used both gingerbreak 1.20 apk and gingerbreak exec to use from adb shell.. they both "keep working" but none succed. $ ./GingerBreak [**] Gingerbreak/Honeybomb -- android 2.[2,3], 3.0 softbreak [**] (C) 2010-2011 The Android Exploid Crew.

Guest Raz2133 Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 i used both gingerbreak 1.20 apk and gingerbreak exec to use from adb shell.. they both "keep working" but none succed. The output you posted is exactly what I am seeing as well. I left it for more than half an hour and it doesn't progress any further. My understanding is that the apk versions of GingerBreak are only really useful for those with S-OFF, but I was hoping that the executable could provide at least temp root access via ADB. I also tried a couple of other temp root procedures that are known to work on other Gingerbread equipped phones, but I didn't have any luck with them either. For now, I guess we'll have to wait for Paul to detail exactly how he obtained root. As I said in my previous post; Once we have root, downgrading HBoot *should* be a relatively simple procedure. Changing the mainver in the Misc partition to a previous firmware version *should* allow us to run a previous RUU without error and downgrade.

Guest longy92 Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 just a short question, as I am not really sure about this: Can I still root the desire in an easy way after updating to the official gingerbread release? thanks! No permanent rooting method yet. By getting the GingerBread RUU you're updating the HBOOT and it's not rootable, as of yet. I couldn't wait for the new GingerBread and didn't want the official as it was unrootable and had old Sense, so I headed over to XDA where there are devs who are more capable than HTC by the looks of it. They implemented Sense 2.1 into GB with some aspects of 3.0. It's awesome! I really like it. I liked having a kitchen here, but until there is one for GB, I'll stick with what I got, and I'll let Paul whip up some kind of MCR and see where that takes me :) Anyone who can't wait for GB and wants new Sense, I'd recommend Reflex S, it's got a link in my sig. Great ROM :) Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Paul Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 I'm properly confused now. I successfully used Gingerbreak to downgrade yesterday and now it won't work! I'm doubting my own sanity now! :blink: P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Raz2133 Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 I'm properly confused now. I successfully used Gingerbreak to downgrade yesterday and now it won't work! I'm doubting my own sanity now! :blink: P I've had days like that too :) Can I ask how you were running GingerBreak when you were successful? via ADB or APK? I've tried everything I can think of with GingerBreak, with and without SD-Card, freshly formatted SD-Card etc (all suggestions found via google). and still cant get that ellusive # prompt.

Guest Paul Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 I only ever run it via ADB. I'm wondering if I was running a different boot image or something now. Strange. :blink: P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rmg2 Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 I cant get root via Gingerbreak. If your phone is s-on you cant root with Gingerbreak. You have to wait for Unrevoked new release or other method to root! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rmg2 Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 HTC launch "Developer Center" but the Unlock bootloader is coming soon; so maybe we dont have to wait much longer for downgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shiva Ramabadran Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 gah! should have checked here before applying the update. Now I'm stuck without a permaroot. Didn't HTC say they would unlock bootloaders forever and release a tool soon to do that ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest patmaru Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 I flashed HTC's legit Gingerbread, after backing-up the contents of my phone with Titanium. Works great ! Except I can't access my backup anymore (S-On) , can't root the darn thing either. My apps and data are on the flashcard. Any hack to get out of this Titanium mess ?
