Help! How can I downgrade my bootloader?
I tried:
pnewbootloader.exe bl515.nb0
Unable to find flash info offset, cannot disable bootloader writeprotect
I have been read all forum, but I can't solve my problem
I have 5.22 boot loader and can not upgrade to 2003

Have you tried the "fix broken bootloader" option in xdatools.

This script have the same line:
pnewbootloader bootloader_v5_15.nb0
ERROR: ITReadProcessMemory -
Unable to find flash info offset, cannot disable bootloader writeprotect

I have exactly the same problem.. Anyone find the solution to this problem??I am not able to downgrade my bootloader.. I want to do this because I want to go from Xda SE rom back to ppc2002..
helpp... anyone...

I posted an updated pnewbootloader in another thread which addresses this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=11417
Which ROM version do you have ?

I apparently did not have the pput.exe program. I downloaded the zip file with the pput.exe and it downgraded my bootloader successfully !
very very cool.. now if only i can figure out how to get the bootloader to restore from my sd card. Whenever i soft-reset by holding the power button it takes me to the bootloader screen and then to diagnostics... where in the world is the restore from SD option.. or is it doing that because I have the SD car (256 MB in the wrong format). I did write the card using xdatools.. hmm..

I am assuming you downgraded to 5.15
If your image is written to SD card 1k header format it should automatically see the image and display the menu.

Ok..Using XDArit1.exe fixed the problem.. There seems to be some issue with using OSImageTool (from XDATools) to write to the SD card.. maybe i used the wrong option.. but anyway I got the XDA to boot and upgrade from the SD card .. now I have the PPC2002 ROM running successfully..

Having succesfully bricked my orbit like several others, I spent the morning scratching my head....
I think it was caused by rebooting after running USPL, and then runnig the ROM upgrade....anyway........
My Orbit was stuck on the initial boot O2 screen with red writing on it

What I did
Download german rom update from german site
http://www.o2online.de/nw/support/do...bit/index.html
Using WinRAR
http://www.win-rar.com/index.php?id=160&dl=wrar370.exe
Extract/Remove files from executable update file to folder on desktop or somewhere handy.
Locate nbh file from blue and black ROM or any ROM for that matter
Place in german update folder using same name as german file
ie. RUU_signed.nbh
Start Orbit in bootloader mode,
Press and hold record button and soft reset,
Plug in USB to PC,
Navigate to your extracted update folder, run ROMupdateUtility.exe, Instructions are in German,
But basically.........
Wieter = next
Abbrechen = Cancel
aktualisieren = update
The update completes succesfully and you have WM6 and an unbricked Orbit......
WOOHOO !

Your Orbit is actually from O2 UK (CID: O2___001). You have to find a ROM for O2 Orbit UK then. Unfortunately, no one has it at the moment, and O2 UK does not seem to release the update soon. You have to wait then, I guess!
One thing I wonder: This code was returned by "getdevinfo" command from within mtty or from nbh file that you tried to flash? Usually "getdevinfo" in mtty returns only ARTE10000, ARTE20000 or ARTE30000
Use USB sniffer and see command getdevinfo

You are lucky! I am sure your device is CID UNLOCKED (may be you did not know) so you could flash Black and Blue ROM. This ROM was made by HTC ROM tool and signed with SuperCID. Congratulations! You can now flash any ROM you build by HTCRT.
I don't know if my HTC is CID unlock, how can i do to know if it is? I've never try to unlock it, i only flash the USPL...

Turn off USB connection in ActiveSync.
Take mtty and any USB sniffer.
In mtty chose USB connection.
And then TYPE:
set 32
password BsaD5SeoA
getdevinfo

ResetDevice
After getdevinfo command see what in USB sniffer. If there CID 11111111 - you are lucky - it Super CID - your device is CID Unlocked.
My problem is still actually.

Add Cities to Weather-Tab?

Hi, Weather Database Editor doesnt work with my Girlfriends Touch 3G (german).
Is there any Solution to manually add Cities?
Thanks. =)
Same problem here
Try this one..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2488224&postcount=73
Thanks but it does no show any cities...
yepp, seems that the database has another filename...
i try investigating this...
Ok, found the Database. =)
Its HH_0407_WeatherCities.xml (for German Users i think).
Bad news:
Its hidden/system/in rom
Any ideas how to rename it?
I copied it to the PC and edited the Cities in but i cant copy it back to the phone...
You can easily overwrite the file with resco explorer after disabling touchflo from the today screen but I have yet to find a way to copy the file to the pc. Could you share your xml please?
Ok I am getting nearer.
Disable touchflo
Copy HH_0407_WeatherCities.xml from the /windows folder to your pc.
Edit the xml to include your new city.
Copy it back to the phone into somewhere like "My Documents" then use resco explorer to move it to /windows and overwrite the original file.
Copy manil2d.exe from windows to your pc,
download XVI32 from http://www.chmaas.handshake.de/delphi/freeware/xvi32/xvi32.htm
download sign code from N2A's site http://weather.not2advanced.com/files/SignCode.zip
Open manila2d.exe in XVI32 and do a search for "weather.manila1.htc.com" ( make sure Unicode check box is checked )
You will see the update URL in unicode , which means that if you want to replace it , there has to be a hex 00 between every letter !
It needs to be changed to something like weather.not2advanced.com/htcweather/forecastdata.php?locCode=%s%s%s
save manila2d.exe and sign it using N2A's batch file
Copy it back to the phone into somewhere like "My Documents" then use resco explorer to move it to /windows and overwrite the original file.
Now I have the new city listed but when I update, all the temperatures = 0
I'm not sure what I have done wrong but I think the URL is wrong.
Any ideas?
Ok, the URL was different for me.
Done that but without the %s%s%s.
Still not working.
I can select the cities but i cant see them in the tab.
Update says that it cannot get updates for the selected city.
Hi Vibez
I reply here instead of the PM , so the others can read it aswell
I don't have a touch 3G so I cannot experiment for you , but 1 thing is sure ,
people had the same issue on the Diamond ( cities not updating after hex-edit ) when the hex-edit was not done 100% correctly ...
So 2 questions :
1) Did any of you try the reigistry hack from the diamond ?
In stock ROM, the URL used to update the weather is a specific Accuweather URL. WDE change it to point to N2A'website ( http://weather.not2advanced.com/ ).
Registry key=HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila
String value Name=Weather.ServerURLOverride
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2) when u tried patching , did the replacement weather string have EXACTLY the same length as the original ? On the diamond , it was an absolute no-go when the length was different
Open manila exe in XVI32 and do a search for "weather.manila1.htc.com" ( make sure Unicode check box is checked )
You will see the update URL in unicode , which means that if you want to replace it , there has to be a hex 00 between every letter !
I then replaced : http://weather.manila1.htc.com/widget/htc/forecast-data_v3.asp?locCode=%1s&?ac=TR2cra9U
with : http://weather.not2advanced.com/htcweather/forecastdata.php?locCode=%1s&ac=XDADevs1234
Those two lines have exactely the same length upto there ( That's why i added 1234 to the XDAdevs , thankfully that's ok with N2A's site ) so the rest of the URL ( &device=innovation etc.. ) can remain unchanged !
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If that fails to work , send me a copy of the manila app ( modded and original maybe so I can see what u did ) , I'll look at it , patch it & send it back for you to try ...
I can't promise anything of course , but I'm on holidays this week , so I've got a little time to spare ;-)
cheers,
Claude
Thanks for the info!
Unicode-Strings should be NULL-terminated to, so all i've done was to zero out the remaining chars.
I give it a try and answer here asap.

OK, tried the not2advanced URL, XML Format has changed heavily...

Garfield1970,
Thanks for helping out.
The registry trick did not work.
I did find a patched version of manila2d.exe from another rom that works perfect on our phone, but ideally I would like to see how to patch the original version that our phone ships with. The hex surrounding the URL string in our manilla2d.exe looks a little different. I'm not 100% there is enough room to fit the full N2A url in!
I will post all 3 versions later for you to play with.

Indeed , I just compared the XML Outputs for Aachen from HTC & N2A , they changed the format .... But if you ask N2A very very nicely and if he has some time to spare , he might eventually adapt a version of his script to reflect the other XML format
You can clearly see the differences between the following two outputs :
http://weather.not2advanced.com/htc...hp?locCode=EUR|DE|GM011|AACHEN&ac=XDADevs1234
is the Diamond compatible format
http://htc.accuweather.com/widget/htc/forecast-data.asp?ac=TR2cra9U&locCode=EUR|DE|GM011|AACHEN
is the format the touch 3g seems to need ....
I'll crosspost the URL's to N2A's main thread so he can maybe have a look
Claude
Just for info the XML format that ships with our ROM works fine with N2A.
To me it seems N2A provides extra elements which I assume is for compatibility with HTC home.
So no need as far as I can tell to ask him to change anything.
Unless i'm getting confused in what you are saying?

Are you sure that the N2A output works for you ?
Because if you look at the XML's , what your device expects is to see includes blocks titled :
Today
Tonight
Tomorrow
and then the following weekdays
whereas on my Diamond it's just current and the different Weekdays being reported
Claude
I'm 100% sure it works with this version of manila2d.exe that i'm using. Now it may be that this version I have uses the old format.
We don't have
Today
Tonight
Tomorrow
we just have current temp, and hi, lo for each day
You mean using the patched manila from the other rom that you mentionned earlier ?
Might be that the format switch has happened between differen Rom versions ?

Yes it could be that. Although the end result is the same. The original version only showed Current and hi/lo temps
Ok i've attached the files
Manila2D_original.exe
This is the original unpatched file
Manila2D_original_patched_not_working.exe
This the original file I tried to patch without success
Manila2D_patched_ok.exe
This is the patched file from another rom that works ok.

Yup by the prob its showin, the CID is definitely locked, so 1st unlock the CID & then flash the ROM of your choice..!!!
Do remember also upgrade the "IPL & HSPL"..!!!
Njoy the FLASHING..!!!
thankyou but tell me
how to downgrade or upgrade my ips and spl my device already in bootloder mode please tell me
to upgrade your SPL (or flash HardSPL) u first need to have your device "alive" again as flashing the HardSPL is done by using ActiveSync.. I would suggest you try a hard reset (by holding the Call & End buttons and reseting with the stylus).. if that didn't work and you still can't load into WinMo interface.. then you might want to try the method I mentioned above..
hope this helps..
Ok just some info about the phone:
I already CID unlocked it, so that couldnt have been the problem as i was running onyx rom
I have tried getting into the three colours screen and still nothing happens, the battery isn't dead
Led used to turn on when it was charging now it doesn't :/
On button doesn't seem to make the device do anything either

Did you flash an original or shipped ROM?? sometimes that causes problems when used with HardSPL..
Yeah it was an original backup of the factory rom that was already on it, is their anyway of actually recovering my phone to a normal state again, at least the tri color or even led's when charging

srry man.. but I can't help you.. flashing an original ROM over HardSPL can brick your phone.. and I don't want to disappoint you but I don't know how to recover it.. still I'm a not a pro.. :S:S
anyone else out there on xda can help, it would be great if you could thanks for the help so far people
i'm no sure that u have a software problem but if it is, then your only hope is jtag.
check this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=602233
too bad there is no more information anywhere, but at least those jtags are easy to solder!
g00d luck!
btw, have you tried the voodoo reset posted by aonellbicho in the jtag thread? any luck with it?
I've never seen it before, and u will probably need as many hands as Shiva has to do it...
guess i can give it a go, what else could go wrong lol
yeah the voodoo reset doesn't work, i think its a fake its pretty hard to press all of those things at once

It's not S-OFF, but it does allow you to flash custom recovery, install ROMs, and write to system partition while booted. Most people won't have any issues with it.
I think there is a way to downgrade from 1.03 to 1.02, but it's not for the faint of heart. Ask in #liberatedAria on Freenode.

VS995 - Error using Uppercut - Cannot decide device boot mode. set Unknown Mode

I recently acquired a Verizon-branded LG V20 (VS995) and I my eventual goal is to put TWRP and LineageOS on it like my last phone. The first step is to downgrade it to a vulnerable stock image using UPPERCUT. However, I'm finding that LGUP is unable to begin to perform the flash.
My setup/procedure is as such:
1. Fresh Windows 7 x64 installation in Virtualbox 5.2.16 on Arch Linux
1a. USB filter setup so that USB 1004:633a is always passed through to Windows 7
2. Installed drivers: LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.2.0.exe
3. Installed LGUP 1.14: LGUP_Store_Frame_Ver_1_14_3.msi
4. Insert battery into LG V20 VS995
5. Insert USB into computer
6. Hold VOLUP while inserting USB-C into V20
7. Wait as "download mode" message appears and then changes to "Firmware Update" screen.
8. Wait for Windows to install all drivers, ensuring devmgmt.msc shows COM port
9. Launch UPPERCUT v1.0.0.0, granting admin permissions
10. Wait for LGUP to launch, initialize, and show a VS9951CA device
11. Select the December 2016 KDZ: VS99512A_06_1114_ARB00.kdz
12. Select UPGRADE and hit Start
After waiting for the 15 second initialization period, LGUP displays the error "Cannot decide device boot mode. set Unknown". If left in this state for several minutes, LGUP will eventually bring up a dialog saying "Error: 0x2000, Port open error (COMX)". LGUP sometimes says it is on a step which I have not transcribed correctly but resembles "_prepareAndDL" before showing the "Cannot decide device boot mode. set Unknown" error, but I've only seen this step once or twice.
SHA1 sums of the files I'm using:
eac54e3e0cfe6e8d7cd395e245170e13de4fcd67 lgmobiledriver_whql_ver_4.2.0.exe
f7b41f77047698bc8e030dddf4ef6fbdb5c3af41 lgup_store_frame_ver_1_14_3.msi
46c9a349d62287d81c94ce7148233c0922604273 uppercut_1.0.0.0.zip
3104b93b7243e3274932b2c56b8383cdecf7ede3 vs99512a_06_1114_arb00.kdz
Is UPPERCUT still the recommended tool to flash stock firmware for this model? Should I be installing it via fastboot instead (if so, is there a thread to follow)? Is the 1CA update no longer downgradable?
--------------------
I tried to use the patched LGUP tool instead of UPPERCUT to see if that helped at all. I did not try to flash the KDZ, but rather just tried to DUMP the existing partitions. I ran into the same error as the post title again.
Procedure:
0. In the LGUP program files directory:
1. Copy the original LGUP.exe to LGUP.original.exe
2. Copy the patched LGUP.exe into it's place
3. Copy in the 'model/common' directory from the patched LGUP zip
4. Steps 4->8 from above
9. Launch patched LGUP (no UPPERCUT)
10. Same as above
11. Select DUMP, hit start, select dump location

I captured a trace of the USB communication with wireshark. I used the LG LAF protocol plugin (can't post links yet: github com/Lekensteyn/lglaf/blob/master/lglaf.lua) and it didn't find any USB frames that matched the protocol. I'm no USB wire protocol expert, but it looks like the phone is sending a response:

There were five such frames, all essentially identical less a byte or two. I suspect if I had let the capture go they would have continued to arrive at an interval. So it's possible the LGUP tool just is not recognizing the ping that the phone is sending?
Install the VirtualBox extension pack and set your USB config for that VM to 2.0 or 3.1, and you should be good.
1CA is definitely downgradable. This is a USB communication problem.
-- Brian
I re-confirmed that I had the guest extensions installed (VM has no nic and all files were transferred in via shared folders, which requires guest extensions). But it turns out I did have the USB bus set to USB 2.0. After setting that to USB 3.0 and installing the Intel USB3 drivers for Windows, LGUP started the download without issue. This is still the patched LGUP (no UPPERCUT) and using the UPGRADE option with the KDZ mentioned in the OP. Oddly enough, it did not clear my data, as it asked for my encryption passphrase when it rebooted. It did successfully downgrade me, so I just did a factory reset to clear my old data and apps. As a reminder, the LG out-of-the-box experience starts checking for OTA updates as soon as the phone starts up, so remove your SIM before you start.
1. Remove SIM
2. Do one of the following:
CLI:
Code:
vboxmanage modifyvm $vmname --usbehci off && vboxmanage modifyvm $vmname --usbxhci on
UI: Right click VM > Settings > USB > USB 3.0 (XHCI) Controller
