Can't we just begin a Flash of the latest 2.1 leak onto the device and find a point in the middle where we remove the battery causing the device to lose the build number. This would allow it to put 1.5 on because it has no build number and would assume 1.5 is an upgrade...
Has anyone tried anything like this?
It may be a dumb idea that will just brick the phone.
As far as I know this would just brick your phone
would result in a brick.

I tried the battery pull on my Eris during a flash. Didn't work for me maybe I pulled it out at wrong point.
I think the boooader is still newer so it would only allow me to flash a same or newer image.

My experiance was that the phone woulndn't boot, but i could get to recovery. After the battery pull, during a flash. Maybe pulled at the wrong point to brick the phone. I was on leak v2

I would STRONGLY advise against pulling your battery during a flash.
A few individuals tried this for us while we were trying to find a downgrade and we ended up with a few bricks and NO successes, so the chances are pretty high that you WILL BRICK IF YOU DO THIS.
Downgrade from 2.1 to 1.5
I'm sure we would all love to know how to do that

You mean you had a rooted 1.5 then loaded a 2.1 rom then loaded a 1.5 rom i assume? Since 2.1 isn't rooted yet so you can't go from 2.1 to 1.5.
I think Failure is confused, and is confusing others in the process. Use identifiers like 2.1leak or 2.1root to avoid misunderstandings in these threads that are viewed by both leakers and rooters. I think he meant he has 2.1root and either went back to 1.5stock or 1.5root.

Yeah. I tend to be a pretty heavy lurker in the 2.1leak root project threads and don't remember anyone saying that there was a downgrade available. I'd have been all over that in a heartbeat.

hes slightly mistaken
as 11BE-5 mentioned, that downgrade is from ROOTED 2.1 to 1.5. there is no downgrade for leakers.
Would there be anyway to get another 2.1 3rd party ROM on there? I have a friend with a 2.1 Eris that was updated via RUU from someone internally at Verizon. Tried to flash it back to 1.5 and the RUU would say it couldn't communicate with the phone after a minute or so once it started trying to flash. The 2.1 ROM isn't a root ROM, so is there anyway to go back to 1.5??

Just curious how many people loaded the 2.1 Update and have now lost root. How many of you loaded a variant of the Official 2.1 and still have root?
Anyone still on 1.5?

Do you have superuser whitelist installed? The only way to lose root is to flash the official HTC/Sprint RUU. Es was updated in 2.1, so it may just be a difference in version. I don't believe Es will request root anyway, try downloading Root Explorer. The quickest way to check if you have root is to run a terminal emulator and type su.

Could be worse. Those 11 could have started threads *****ing and moaning as to why they don't have root and for someone to fix it now.
I only recall one thread asking about root but wasn't complaining.
UR so funny.
I took the plunge when the first leak came out after seeing ALL the posts about what if and why for's.
I stated then that I would run the RUU and then try to root.
I tried three (3) ways and it didn't work.
I posted the results HUGE and big for those asking why and when.
I took one for the TEAM so to speak and am willing to wait for a new root without crying about it.
Push comes to shove I buy a new phone if I need it that bad.
So the number of 11 doesn't really seem all that out of line as others did in fact run the RUU before anyone made an effort to actually attempt it and have verifiable results.

Okay this is hard for some people to understand but if you got two phones all to yourself and you don't care what happens to one. It would be of great benefit to the community if you leave one unrooted so when someone needs a beta tester to test whether or not a new root procedure works I'm here to help them beta test the procedure. Plus I wanted to test a couple things out that could only be done if I flashed the 2.1 ruu not to be confused with rom.

Yes you can re-root after running the .5 RUU
the original rom is contained in the RUU program linked above
You don't have to be rooted to make a nandroid backup, though you do need to flash a custom recovery image. Being rooted means that you basically have administrator access on your phone, can run things like wifi tether and can overwrite the /system/ folder. A recovery image is a little different than that...
ok thanks, i know root is just admin, but a lot of root guides have you flash a recovery image, by doing that you replace the original recovery image? the one that takes you back to factory reset? thats what im not sure about and im really nervous about changing that and messing it up and bricking my device, thought one forum said its almost imposable to brick.
ok so i have that RUU and another one i download. do i just run it or do i need to have a specific program on my pc?
i know i need to Google it and just search the forums but i don't have a lot of time on my hands right now.
If you're planning on going back to root, don't run the .6 RUU. I don't think it's rootable. At least that was the case when it came out. .5 IS rootable.

2.27.651.5 is the original Hero update.
2.27.651.6 is the update that was released solely to disable the ability to root.
The RUU for each was released by Sprint/HTC and flashed your phone from 1.5 to 2.whatever.
If you root, then you can run any of these to revert back to the stock Sprint image. If you chose to go to 2.27.651.6 then the only way to re-root would be to flash back to 2.27.651.5 which would only be a pain in the bum.
Since 2.27.651.6 gives you nothing but the inability to root then it only makes sense to revert to .5.
If this makes no sense to you...feel free to give up on rooting altogether. If it does then good luck.
BTW I only figured out how to root on Monday so these forums are most excellent..if you take the time to search through them.
Thanks its starting to make sense, right now I'm software 2.1 update 1 or 2.6 so i just have to go back to 2.5 . once i have more time i will thanks for the explanation! yes this site is the best and yes i need to search more.

and no way would I revert back to stock until it's confirmed that the official 2.2 doesn't somehow break root access.

No radio update needed, the nbh file will take care of all of that.
Just copy this to the root of your SD card, boot into the bootloader (vol down + power), hit apply update and let it do it's thing.
DON'T restore anything through TiBa or mybackup until AFTER you've received the ota update. Should take about a day or two of the phone being on and connected to 3G.

The MT3G just doesn't have enough ram to support an OS this large. CM6 is good but still way slower than oem 1.6 w/androot and overclock.
I rooted a few months back by using sappimg and flashrec, then installed CM5 with mediocre results. I got sick of the instability and unrooted. Then I rooted the stock 1.6 w/universal androot, overclocked it, and left it alone for a while.
A week or so ago I backed up my oem 1.6 w/root, then I flashed CM6. 3 or 4 days ago I backed up my CM6 and went back to my nandroid of oem1.6 w/root. This time I ditched CM due to crazy bad battery life and the phone running way hot. I suspected it would have done better with compcache disable but I got sick of screwing with it.
This morning I nandroided back to CM6 to screw around with it some more, (wanted to disable compcache and give it another shot) but just now I'm going back to the oem donut again because froyo is inherently slow on a phone with this little ram, although disabling compcache helped a bit. Also the gallery is too slow to use.
Does that make more sense? Basically I'm indecisive and keep switching back and forth, lol.
Hello everyone,
Any help you guys can give will be much appreciated.
I have a MyTouch 4G previously running Froyo, rooted and S=Off. Against better judgment, I decided to put this release of Gingerbread 2.3.4 on it:
PD15IMG_Glacier_Gingerbread_S_TMOUS_2.19.531.1_Radio_12.58.60.25_26.11.04.03_M_release_200756_signed.zip
Though everything seems to work fine, I lost root. Contrary to most other accounts from other people who flashed the same file, S=Off remained on my phone.
I would really like to get root back so I can use some of my apps again.
Visionary stops at a black screen.
Gingerbreak runs forever with no success.
What other means can I use to get root back or am I SOL for now until someone figures out how to root 2.3.4 on the MT4G?
Thanks again.

lOOK AT WOLF26915's post use the G2 instructions to temp root using the fre3vo exploit in adb then change your version number to 1.17.531.2, then your bootloader will allow you to use the 2.2.1 PD15IMG update to get back to stock and root.

I tried flashing a similar 2.3.4 release that is rooted. Renamed it to PD15IMG.zip and tried applying it - At "parsing", it stops and just goes back to the HBOOT menu.

This is the problem with n00bs. You wanna jump head first into something you have absolutely no understanding of then beg for help over and over in here when you finally brick your phone.
Stupid. You FAIL!
So sick of new users of Android trying to jump before looking. You're the same kind of people who would jump off a cliff before checking to see how deep the water is. Then want help after you break your neck.

That was 20 years ago. And yet, even then, when I wanted to know something; I searched and searched and searched, and searched again. Then I read and read and re-read over and over and over again. And after all that if I still didn't know then I would ask. But I would also ask in a proficient manner.
Too many young kids jumping in on the Android bandwagon and wanting to root and flash Rom's right out of the box without learning first.
I stand by my first statement.
If you had Radio S-OFF, you should be able to flash an unsigned PD15IMG.zip even though you lost root.

thanks a lot dude for showing me to put that.. i can confirm it worked perfectly fine. i will hit the thanks button for sure. i was stuck on that damn gingerbread leak build lol
Interesting. msm_rotator is I believe the exploit used in Fre3vo.
I wonder if this would work to downgrade the HTC Panache from Mobilicity to an MT4G ROM?
I also downgraded back to 2.2.1 then updated to the rooted 2.3.4 and it works
