[Q] Help debranding Vodafone Legend

A little help if anyone's willing
Have Vodafone branded Legend and just want to debrand.
Its on Firmware update 2.1 update 1 and software no is 2.05.161.1
Have created Goldcard, hopefully.
Stuck now on next part.
When i try to install RUU_Legend_HTC_WWE_1.23.405.1_Radio_47.26.35.04_7. 05.35.26L_release_120393_signed.exe.htm i get error 131.
Done loads of reading and not sure if its goldcard problem or that i have to downgrade 1st.
Or was wondering if i could put on the HTC_WWE_2.03.405.3 without downgrading.
I have windows 7 and some of the roms ive tried say not compatable with 32 bit system.
Any pointer from here would be greatly appreciated.

Support for Baseband 7921 - Tips,Guidance,How-To's

While the rest of you guys have been tinkering and hacking your Dell Streaks for quite a few months now, those of us in Canada have only just started getting our Dell Streaks through the Rogers network.
Unfortunately Dell is shipping these Streaks with the Baseband numbered as 7921 - and very little, and in some cases, zero tutorials or information is available on doing anything with this Baseband.
Having come from an HTC Desire that has been ridiculously easy to root and modify, I am pleading, almost begging for the Dell Streak community here on XDA to help out with any solid clues and/or tips to working with 7921.
Even the Superboot method doesn't have any files available for 7921. As of now, I can't root this thing unless I just take a blind chance with some other Baseband's superboot method.
Having read some other forum posts, both here and on MoDaCo ( and believe me, I have used the search feature to go through every related post possible ) - I know that there are a few people out there who have managed to root 7921 and even upgrade, but nobody has posted a single solid tutorial.
Please?
A few tips, some guidance, maybe a tutorial?
Pretty please?
Anyone?

Im in this boat. Ive tried everything i cannot get this thing to upload a update.pkg i can flash recoveries no problem, nothing seems to work i have tried going to o2 1.6 will not flash o2 2.1 nothing. mostly i get the status 7 error while its trying to flash assert failed /tmp/boot.img
I rooted with universal androot.

actually does anyone have the "original" recovery that came with a 7921 device?

Can you try using this : mobileupdate.dell.com/PackageProductionLocations/Streak_318_12821_00.pkg
smoku on #dellstreak – freenode on IRC suggested it. This should also flash the AMSS and I'm presuming that it will change your baseband to 00. That should open up the possibility of updating to Dell 2.2 or Steve's ROM.
But I can't confirm this until you try it first.. let me know please?

Well I still have a Virgin 7921 phone, if I can figure out how to extract the recovery image. I've never done that before..

I bought mine a few weeks ago and I followed a couple of tutorials in this forum and the modaco forum as well... I was able to change my baseband to 00 and after that update to stock 2.2 .... now I'm running the 318 build and i'm very happy with it....
Just search for the guide to downgrade to baseband 00 is a little tricky but it works... at the end you will have enough experience to move to any build or baseband.

Hi Ivancho,
Is there any chance you could provide us with the exact link to the directions you used? I've read so many different sets of the instructions that I'm confused now. I swear, if I can successfully get 2.2 on this without screwing it up I will write a full blown walk through myself

FOTA Model name mismatch, rebooting in 30 seconds.
got that while trying to flash the above.

Dammit. Sorry. Was hoping that would work. Kind of getting demoralized with this now.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!do this. i just finished and now am at build 6601! This works!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805112
scroll down till u get to where it says
if you just wanted to revert to O2 1.6 (build 4399) then you are done. If you are going to AT&T 1.6 (build 6601) we have to change the system so it will upgrade the the AT&T ROM.

Need help getting back to Froyo

Hi Guys,
I am really sorry if this is a repeated post,
I am not a expert but can follow instructions very well,
I am using a Dell Streak 5 and it was shipped with 2.2 and i recently upgraded to 2.3.3(Olleh) version and the base band version is 357 and the kernel is 2.6.35.7-perf and i am not liking this version of OS and i want to get back to the original OS which was shipped with the phone.
The phone is rooted as well.
My friend did this for me,I am not sure how he did this.
Can anyone help me step by step on how to get back to factory installed 2.2 version??
That would be a great help for me if anyone can help me with this.

Ok...so your 2.2.2 version was 357, you went to 407 and now you want to go back to 357?
The basic steps to flash a ROM are found in the Dell Streak wiki. There is additional information in the thread titled "Everything you always wanted to know about the Streak but were too busy bricking it" that may be helpful. With those two sources of information there is no need to give you a detailed how-to since it has already been done. The main thing you need to do other than following the directions is download the 357 recovery and the 357 update package from the wiki.

Hi i looked for 357 package and its no available in wiki,
Any idea where i can get them from??
cant i try the lates version??

357 is only available preinstalled on devices, there's no way to return to it as the pkgs are not available for it.

Hi Thank you for replying me back,
Can i install any other package apart from this??

If you want Froyo, flash Streakdroid 1.9.1. You'll find it here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Dell_Streak_5/ROMs

I didn't look at the list of ROMs so I had no clue 357 was a preinstalled ROM. Sorry about that. Use 360 instead. It includes some apps Dell thought might be useful but are also easily removed. What it doesn't have is bloatware forced on it from the cellular service providers.

HI Guys,
Thanks for your valuable replies,
I have fixed the issue,
Let me tell you what i have done so that others can try.
I have initialised fastboot and used flashrecovery 0.8 and used 357 ROM and after the phone rebooted after the flash i HELD THE VOLUME DOWN KEY AND THE POWER BUTTON AND THE PHONE STARTED TO BOOT FINE.

Don't go back to Froyo, go all the way to CM7!
Once you're at 407 rom go the next step and go CM7:

Rollback to all devices that upgraded to 4.x

HELLO ALL,
The OTA 4.1.1 & later 4.5.1 was pushed to Apollo & Saturn (NEW GEN HDX 8.9") Devices adding firefly functionality along with other functionality (WHICH ARE CRAP ACCORDING TO ME)
So in order to get the device back to JB ie.. 3.X version Contact amazon customer services and Say that the Kindle is not working properly after the updates & roll back to the 3.x version.
have the device fullly charged 80% or more and they will initiate a Rollback.
Remember the device will never Get any OTA after this !!
Also it would be a lot lot helpful if some one can locate the ota file downloaded (via ES file explorer) so that we can copy it & share on XDA & help other fellow men.
Also I'd request you to contact Amazon via Phone for Source Code & bootloader info & get the call escalated to higher officials so that there are possibilities of getting info.
I'd request all the devs & members to file a petition (Change.org) with regards to the bootloader and simultaneously work on development
All active members & Ashamed owners of HDX's (Ashamed because with marvellous hardware we have a Crappy OS) include or add devs in this sections via PM or replies so that they can look over this & find a solution soon.

Also I'm thinking that a manual roll back can be done but it needs testing & i need some help in that as well
I believe all the magic is with build.prop & ota.prop that checks the versions.
Interested members can carry on the work here and update the results as well
In the mean time any suggestions are also appreciated

Anyone who will do the rollback, please root device and place file /cache/recovery/last.log (something like that) here.
Thank you.

What will that have?
Give as much as info possible please.
Another observation : As manual update via bin file can be done on Kindle, I opened the file via WinRar & was able to see contesnts as a Zip File so why cant we add su and required root files then update kindle ???
As far as the bin file check is concerned..build.prop edit will work

This give to us name and location of rollback file and some other information about upgrade (downgrade) process.
It is necessary to start somewhere...
About your observation - we can''t flash modified bin in any way.
Btw during upgrade latest firmwares check not only build.prop but keys that located in system recovery. So modifying build.prop is not enough.

Well thanks a lot for the info mate I didn't knew that!!
Just for curiosity how will that file lead. Just need more info about it... I might get that file to you and will that file be even after s factory reset is performed?

Do you have a HDX?
Which one n will there be any problem if I get thor's file? Does it need to be specific?
Can get the file n other stuff within 2 days to you..
Let me also know about keys n. Bin stuff... Atleast point me to some info thread I'll read...
btw a rollback editing bin file worked! I tried to do the same but on 4.5 os now
Any one on 4.3 can try opening 4.5.bin file adding root and then updating...may b can try atleast!?

rollback file is "mod-update-kindle-thor-13.3.2.6_user_713326020.bin"
it is all I know at this moment.
And "NO" again, every editing of original bin corrupts CRC, and file do not pass checking. Do not waste the time. Do you think that no one tried for a year to do it?

Sorry if this is a dumb question but has anyone tried calling the support and asking them to rollback and had success? I just want to make sure that they will do it before I try it

Yes. Guy from my russian forum successfully rolled back after contacting support. So it possible. And he sent me logs of this downgrade in which I saw name of rollback-file - mod-update-kindle-thor-13.3.2.6_user_713326020.bin

Got the Kindle on 14.3.2.7_user_372002520
Unable to root it ! ADB doesn't recognizes device anymore....
I was curious on .bin mod. (Yes i can imagine people trying to edit .bin but i needed an explanation thats it.....)
Now let me know what next !!! ??
How do i proceed ??

HELP.
Can anyone explain me how to downgrade? I got the update-kindle-13.4.1.1_user_411010320.bin and update-kindle-13.3.2.5_user_325001120.bin. But when I try to flash the rom the mentioned way it sais that it isn't possible because there is a newer rom installed. how can I circumvent this problem? Any ideas?

You need to contact Customer Support.
At this moment only they can initiate downgrade.
BTW be careful. Maybe now downgradable version is 13.3.2.7 and its not rootable. But I'm not sure.

What are you looking for exactly?
There's really nothing you can do with 4.1.1 — rooting, custom ROMs, etc. require you be on 14/13.3.2.6 or lower.

Okay, why is that? Is there more information on that? I also read a response from the Amazon support posted on another (German) board which warned about the same thing and that further updates might require help from customer support.... I just don't understand why you loose OTA capability? Even if it doesn't update automatically (which most people prefer a anyway, I guess), wouldn't you be able to just initiate an OTA by clicking on it in system preferences ?
Thanks!

Gave it a go, here is my experience:
I started a chat and asked to roll back to 14/13.3.2.6, the person was happy to help and did not dig into they wy. The steps they had me follow:
- factory reset
- re-register device (was still on 4.5.1 as would be expected)
- they pushed something, I saw a system update in the notify tray but it was only there for a brief moment
- They then had me check for updates
- I told them it did not find anything
- I took a look at my kindle storage and there were 6 nameless files that showed up. When I looked at their properties there was no name or file type on them. I tried to copy them off the device but it would not let me, got a generic access message about not being able to copy the files.
- I was then told that 4.5.1 can not be rolled back and that I should return the tablet for a refund (they did say 4.1.1 can be rolled back). I think this was to be expected based on the "kill switch" code that was found in the new update. I can't find the post/link to the conversation now but I think it was code found in the kernel. Not sure Kill switch is the right term either.
- They are providing me a free shipping label
- Will likely get a 2013 Nexus 7

I'm sorry I'm new to how these forums work and replies and all that. Is there a way to downgrade from 4.5.1 to be able to root? It would be really helpful if someone could give me a straight answer as to if it can be done or not. Thanks!

Need firmware for Huawei Y625-U51: y625-u51v100r001c577b108 (or later)

Greetings - I am searching for firmware version y625-u51v100r001c577b108 - 18 November 2015 or later. DE / German would be best but I will try another language if need be to unbrick my phone.
There are links out in the wild for this specific ROM version for Belgium and Holland, but as far as I can tell they are spam/scam links after spending quite some time weeding through them.
Anyone with a legit source for this specific firmware? Alternately, can anyone tell me how to ADB sideload an older version without the error stopping me about not being able to install over a newer image?
Thanks in advance...

Oh! Thanks for that - I swear I had looked for hours and hours. ...but it appears I can't use an update firmware anyway, I guess I need a recovery rom? I cannot boot the phone at all, I can only get to the system screen with the opportunity to ADB sideload. Any other ideas?
Thanks again... I really want to get my phone working again.

I suppose you do not have access to recover, right?
Download the recovery compatible (TWRP) from here: ****s://mega.nz/#!X9s3CCLQ!JhC1sJ0MwGsCfQJ7Frs7sI7MfGURo2PjAhESCeS-SDI
Good luck.
However, try to decompress the firmware to a folder, rename the "update.app" to "update.zip".
with the command "adb sideload update.zip", may be to do the complete installation of the ROM.
Warning: If the phone was, for example, Y625-U51-V100R001C577B108, does not accept the installation of the Y625-U51-V100R001C577B103 version. The opposite (update) all right!

Hi guys
I'm having a y625-u51 with the title firmware. I need to do a reset and the most recent update.App I can find is with the 108 at the end.
When I'm trying to apply this, says that cannot install over newer build. Is there a chance to find that firmware update.App from someone or any trick to avoid version check.Note that the phone doesnt boot and was rooted. I can only boot at Android system recovery. Oh and I'm from Greece.

Thanks anyway.
