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??
Edit: "Rom Development" is only meant for very advanced technical discussion directly related to ROM development activity and the delivery of actual ROMs and ROM components ONLY. Nothing else goes in here. Moved thread to "General." Please refer to "[REF] STOP! Read before posting!" ~TheRomMistress
I was wondering if anyone could post the ROM for this version? The other one in this forum isn't the exact same number, so I was just wondering if someone has the .5 version for warranty purposes.
Thanks!
I'm looking at the same version. Unrooted. Anyone got that?
Link to all shipped ROMS
My phone does ship with this rom..and it's unrooted as well.. but I just join the forum today and have no clue how to extract/backup the rom out..if you guy can give me a bit guide though( for example what post to follow) then I can get it out and send it over to you... And does any of you guys know if my phone need to be downgraded if I want to root it? (the guide say firmware version higher than 1.34 need to be downgrade, does my desire Z need to go through that if I want to root it?)

I also have the HTC Desire Z with the same software number 1.34.666.5 and want to root it. I'm not sure if I need to downgrade also before rooting as I do not know enough about putting fastboot on the phone to find out the CID. putting adb isn't so hard. is it possible to just ignore checking the CID and just going the creation of a goldcard to downgrade? If I dont have to downgrade, then it makes things a lot easier.

According to the Wiki, 1.72 and up require downgrade.
I followed the wiki and successfully rooted my phone to have S off, have Super CID and have simlock off plus have clockwork recovery installed from rom 1.34.666.5 just like ptesmoke
At the end of the guide, it says, "You can delete the files in /data/local/tmp they are not needed anymore. " How do I go about doing this? is it done in ADB? I don't know the commands for it and I don't see this directory on the SDcard. I assume this is in the internal memory of the phone?

Yup you can delete it, I usually use root explorer to do all my stuff dealing with the phones internal mem. It is the phones storage, not your sdcard. If you don't wanna pay for root explorer I think I've heard es file manager handles root directories fine and is free

1.34.666.5
I am having a hard time finding the 1.34.666.5 rom. I was running cm9 on my Desire Z, but due to company policy, I had to unroot the phone. I got the 1.34.666.1 rom from shipped-roms, and the phone is back to froyo, but apparently need the 1.34.666.5 rom to be able to upgrade to gingerbread. I have searched everywhere for a download, but can't find anything but the .1 rom... Is there any way to upgrade from 1. to the official gingerbread update from HTC?

O.T.A. for My Touch 3g Fender/1.2
Okay this thread is for the My Touch 1.2/Fender OTA to be released 1/12/11. If you have any insight as to what we need to do to "catch" this update please post here. I know a lot of people are going to say the Magic OTA has already been released but this is a different phone that was not included in the first update and I'm sure the Magic forum Moderator knows this better than most. Does anyone know for sure if we can just be on the stock Fender ROM with root and still receive the OTA? Any information regarding this topic is welcome please post for the rest of us!
JeffakaJeff and I have custom build of this update for people who want root and the update go here.

You guys must have issues reading and searching. Not only has this been discussed... but I started an entire new thread just for this phone. And because I knew that would not be enough... I started a WHOLE new thread dedicated to the update just for this phone. Hell, I even made them stickies! Yet... here we are.

Use logcat (search this forum) to capture the download link(s).
Expecting three separate zip files we collectively need links for. First should be new hboot/radio package. Second will be the ROM package for each device (one for for 1.2 and one for Fender.)
Edit: No more than two files, we already have hboot and a radio update (if any) would be packaged with the ROM itself. - K
Now what I want to know is will this keep my phone from rebooting when I get a Gmail or SMS notification while using Google Nav and Pandora radio at the same time?

So being hooked to ADB running DDMS will give you the links?
I unrooted the wifes phone to make sure it catches the update. I'll be sticking with CM 6.1. I'm going to have her not do the updates when she gets prompted so I can pull the links. I don't imagine we'll see an SPL update, but I'm thinking we might get the new radio. We'll see, unless its in that announcement from T-Mobile already.

I'm going to try the stock Fender w/root. A while back I un-rooted and re-rooted but with the UniversalAndroot this time, so I should show up as stock if I am on 1.6 and my build.prop is right. Anybody know of an app that would store logcat on sdcard?

I found a nice one in the market and the best thing about is after testing the logcat won't start when I start the app it will have information from long before the app starting point so this should work nicely.- See the update message start the logcat and it should go back far enough to include when the message was sent and any temporary cache download links (lets hope) This should get me the first one till I get home and hook to my computer-will running the ddms during the update process get any subsequent links?

I'll add some tags in a few minutes.
If you are just using the stock just for the Swype keyboard you can look into SlideIT. Can't remember how much it costs but it's pretty much the same thing. Really. Some may even argue that it's better.
Regarding the update for the rooted stock roms... you should be able to get the update still. My theory is that the rom, spl and radio would be the only thing to get the update. Rom (stock), SPL, (1.33.0013), radio (2.22.23.02) possibly kernel. If any of these are different then you may not get the update. Another theory of mine is that it may require a certain build.prop file. It's been a while but I'm pretty sure that I used the same build.prop file in my rooted stock rom. So either way I don't see why you wouldn't still get the update.
Looks like I need to find a flashable 2.23.XX radio I switched to the 2708 radio when it came out.

Since you're rooted(you did root your phone right?), you can't use official updates from HTC. You have to download a ROM from xda forums and flash.

Yeah it works with every HTC android phone. I would post the link but I'm on from the xda app and don't know how to post the link. Just go to HTC Aria> Android Development> and there's a guide on how to install unrevoked. Just follow that.

If you have a gratia you can't root the phone. The hboot has not been cracked yet. If you received the phone like this you are going to need to send it back for repair. Also there is no released RUU for the stock gratia.

Isn't the gratia almost exactly like the Aria? Because Arias ROMs are from legend and gratia.

yes it is the same phone but the hboot which is required for root is a newer version on the gratia. The USA aria and asian with 2.1 have an hboot of .57 the gratia / aria 2.2 update in asia have an hboot of 1.01 or something which cannot be hacked hence no root.

Cyanogenmod and LA Roms are not from Legend. LA FR series is from Aria (Asia) and Gratia, which is an Aria with newer firmware, such as the newer HBOOT that jznomoney mentioned, that hasn't been hacked yet.

can you pull the files from your phone MK king
open a command prompt and make a directory change to it and do adb pull /system
it should pull all the files off your phone
compress it and upload it to mediafire or some sort of sharing site. send us a link.

Better yet, could you start the HBOOT in your phone (turn off, press volume down + power button and a white screen with text will come up) and check its version? It should be 0.57.000
Do you know if someone is working on Gratia looking for a way to root it?
Will be possible to do?
Hi, I already used a lot of ways to get root on my HTC Aria but nothing.
When I try with unrevoked I take the following message: "Error: Failed to get root. Is your firmware too new?" in the final of the process, I already tested on Windows and Linux and I don't know what I can do more.
HTC Aria AT&T - Android 2.2.2
Someone have an ideia?
cant root official 2.2.2
There's no known way to root the Aria once it has the 2.2.2 update installed. Unfortunately there is nothing you can do about this.
Did you phone come with 2.2.2 out of the box? Did you update it? Did the store update it for you?
I updated to 2.2.2 using the HTC Aria Update.
My wife has a HTC Aria with 2.1. Do you know if I can get root with this version?

Yes, Unrevoked will work on the Aria with 2.1 on it. That's the best way to root the Aria.
If it's important to you to be able to root both phones, you might consider taking it back to the store and seeing if they will exchange it for one without the update installed.

Nope, that phone is now unrootable, period. (Well, actually it's possible if you sent it to someone who has special hardware, but not something you could do on your own.)

No.but attn1 has a found a hardware solution to root and s-off the updated firmware.look at the 2.2 rooting thread.
