+1 im in the same boat. i upgraded my eris thinking root was going to take a while longer and didnt want to wait. my understanding also was that the devs gave up on 1.5 root and were instead working on 2.1 leaked root. oh well. i can either wait for 2.1 downgrade or another root for 2.1. or my more likely scenario is to go out and get the Nexus 1 on the 23rd when it is supposedly coming to verizon.

What would top off the cake is if HTC released the OTA right now.

If your a chef, and want, I have a list (and files) of what I want added, and the base image.
I want the bootloader from our ROOT rom, the contents of /system/xbin from the ROOT rom and everything else from the leak rom.
Correct me if I am wrong, but that should give us
the s = off boot loader, su and other programs from xbin, and finally a more stable system.

That's not much to ask for. lol. Why the bootloader and xbin from the root rom though, why not just remove boot.img from the leaked rom and add SU to it and flash it?
Or better yet, build AOSP from source and add the 2.1 Eris drivers from the leaked ROM, and make a Nexus One replica ROM for the Eris?

Actually.... they didnt root 1.5 supposedly based on the official root is here thread

As to how this was found / done, I quote myself from IRC:
"<caboose> Lets just say i happened to come buy this SIGNED pre-rooted ROM while strolling the dungeons of the HTC building in taiwan (its true, i had to slay a dragon too.)"
We will post the ROM in question soon, just making sure there aren't any fatal bugs etc.

somone came across a rooted version of the 2.1 ROM so we just have to wait for somone to figure out a way to get the 2.1 leak to "downgrade".
this is all because the rooted rom has a build of 2.19.605.1 Test Keys and the Leaked rom has a build number of 2.26.605.2 Release Keys which in turn makes it a down grade because the rooted ROM is 7 builds lower then the leaked ROM.
my thought would be can somone get into a hex editor and change the build number to a higher version without jacking the checksum and ruining the ROM. maybe that would allow a "downgrade".
but back on topic.... it appears that 1.5 was not rooted at all based on Caboos3's statement

on the subject of rom cooking, i have never done it but am interested and would be willing to do what i could to help out.
ive got a 2.1 rooted eris

iron changing it with the hex number will screw up the checks.
apreichner
the bootloader has secure off, thats what i want it
busybox is userful
xbin has su, scp and other things i want.

i knew it would... but i wonder if there is a way to do it and preserve checks.
im not sure how checksum algoritims work so i dont know if theres a way to offset the change.
the only hex editing ive ever done with files only required me to ensure the file read the same size so minor changes were possible and a single digit change would be a minor change.

Oh I didn't realize the bootloader was like that on the rooted rom. I was thinking you could just push the image if you had SU, but since the bootloader is already unsecured, you could use that. Until you guys get a custom recovery of course.

The bootloader has S-OFF *AND* it is an Engineering SPL. Can we extract the SPL by chance? I have an idea.....but I wont' mention it if we can't

Engineering SPL huh... woot that means u boys have fastboot. hell yeah. but no ur best bet is the goldcard deal. at that rate u can flash the rooted leak and be scott free. since u have a build that will flash to ur device and give u root. then all u gotta do is figure out the goldcard and flash it. idk if u guys have a good reason why the goldcard wont work or not. im just sayin thats prolly the best bet

You can only downgrade to 2.2 if you have s-off. The new 2.16 bootloader will not accept any known RUU, downgrade, or any other root method currently. I even tried to do the "old" GoldCard method, and of course, that didn't work either.
Here is the write up if interested on how to downgrade with s-off.........
http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-hacks/how-to-root-htc-evo-4g-gingerbread-2-3/
Check out the 4th comment, by Julian. Pretty much sums it up.........
"This procedure WILL NOT work if you have unrooted your Evo and updated via OTA from sprint!! New bootloader interface is included with the new RUU (2.3.3) which prevents recovery mode launch, reverting back to a prior ROM, or rooting"

you can root it if your bootloader says s-off, just flash recovery in a pc36img file and flash superuser for 2.3

Well my friends phone has never been rooted so he wants to rooted so can I still go back to 2.2 using the methods y'all posted here

The new bootloader does not prevent recovery from launching. You can either turn off fastboot on settings-applications or instead of power off, choose reboot and start holding down vol-down when the screen goes black

If the phone has never been rooted before, then you are going to be S-on. Since you have the new bootloader, AND you have S-on, there is nothing you can do to root the phone at this time. You cannot downgrade to 2.2, you cannot downgrade the bootloader. The only thing you'll be able to do is wait until someone figures out how to get S off on the new bootloader, or if someone figures out a way to downgrade the bootloader. The only way you can downgrade back to 2.2, is if the bootloader is S off. Also, if the bootloader was S off, downgrading to froyo to 'reroot' is a complete waste of time. All you need to do is flash a PC36IMG of a recovery image, and then use that recovery to flash a new rom. That's it. Anything more than that is a total waste of time, and a bunch of steps that don't need to be taken.
So, unfortunately, all you can do is wait until someone figures out a way around the new bootloader.

No need to be rude kid, I watched a buddy install a ruu that worked perfectly, took about 20 min he was back to 2.2, there is a few youtube vids on it, I didn't do the code for it but I did watch it work to my disbelief, I said the same thing you did that there was no way

Also, sorry to burst your bubble, but there is NO way to root if you have 2.3 AND the new 2.16 bootloader. Either you have S=off and run an RUU to get back to Froyo, or you do not have the new 2.16 bootloader.
That is all.

Rooting With The 2.3 O.T.A. Update

For everyone who's been wondering and asking,
As of right now there is NO WAY to root your phone if you accepted the 2.3 Gingerbread OTA update and there is no way to revert back to 2.2.
For all the people who have accepted it, you are stuck with a non-rootable phone until a dev can produce a new root method.
With that being said, temp-root is also NOT available.
Also, flashing anything like a different ROM or a new kernel is NOT possible at this time.
If you accidentally updated or just got the phone from Sprint, you are out of luck for now.

thanks for the info. i have been waiting to update because i suspected as much. For all those that updated to 2.3, is it awesome????

How long did it take for 2.2 to be rooted? Hopefully 2.3 should take the same amount of time/less time.

Any more of an explanation than that? ...like the error message you get?
People had to RUU back to an older version of Froyo when the latest update plugged up what was the latest root exploit, and that old RUU always worked without a problem. It would be a shame if HTC/Sprint didn't "allow" people to revert back to the older OS.

I think the error code was error 170 when running the RUU, but I have tried all the ways just like everyone else and none of them work.

I would guess that booting into the bootloader to load the old Froyo RUU would still work. I always thought the RUU was looking for the proper phone, regardless of its firmware/OS versions.

Nope, in order for a ruu to run, the phone has to have the same or older hboot

I wish it was that easy because I forgot how much the GPS sucks on sense roms. Got a trip out of town coming up this weekend also, grrrr.

Really? I always thought Sense was great, but AOSP roms sucked at GPS.

Just used the gps in the 2.3 rom and it worked out great. It was a short distance though so might need more testing fyi

I think the GPS on sense (stock at least) tends to take a little longer to lock on, that's all.
Hopefully this gets rooted soon since I've got to send my current phone back in a couple of days, and it wouldn't surprise me if the new one has the update already

So is this "170" error seen in the RUU program or on the phone itself?
Forgive me if I'm way behind the ball on this: The Froyo RUU contains a "rom.zip" that looks like it could simply be renamed to PG06IMG.zip and flashed from the bootloader.

I don't know bout that error but when I tried twice to ruu my wife's phoneI think the error was 104 bootloader not new enuff something like that.

Well when you run the RUU it goes through all the motions like its going to be successful. Then it reboots into the bootloader and you get the all black HTC screen on your phone while its updating. The RUU on your pc screen is at the part where it says updating your rom image may take 10 minutes etc. Then you get the error [140] Bootloader version error. "The rom update utility cannot update your Android phone, please get the correct ROM update utility and try again."The error [170] is when it doesnt find your phone connected to the usb.

This should be done uploading in about 3 minutes. Rename to PG06IMG.zip, place it in the root of your SD card, and boot up in the bootloader. If it doesn't work, I'll have another to try tomorrow.
BACK UP YOUR DATA/APPS/CONTACTS FIRST (I recommend using Titanium Backup, SMS Backup & Restore, and Call Logs Backup & Restore... and you should be syncing your contacts to a google account)
http://www.4shared.com/file/ADnrxUXB/Stock-Froyo-ROM-1176511.html

I'll give it a try now
Edit: Nope, that doesn't work.

great.
i guess i am stuck with this buggy 2.3 rom until a root solution is found and i can get this crappy rom off my phone. i am tired of the apps not working. locking up & same with the OS.
do the world a favor and steer clear of the RUU 2.3 rom. dont be stuck like the rest of us with a rom we cant do anything with.

[Q] Help with Mytouch 4G with Gingerbread 2.3.4

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.

From what I could find in the forums, you are kinda stuck till someone comes up with another exploit in order to gain root and s-off

I am stuck in the same situation, except that I updated first to the official gingerbread rom for mytouch 4g and then tried to root my phone, i.e. the phone was not rooted at all.

I'm quite confident an exploit will be (re)written - just a matter of time. It's just that I couldn't use some of my paid apps.

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.

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.

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

How much do I need to reset to stock before taking it into the store?

My HTC Evo Shift's touch screen stopped working partially.
Above 70% of the screen won't work vertically anymore. (Horizontal is fine).
I am going to take it into the store.
Do I need to get rid of everything including root and recovery?
What will they check?

Never take a Device in for service while Rooted. Some Techs will check, others will not. But if they do find that it's Rooted they can flag your account. Not what you want . Also they may try and say that the issue is because you rooted your device. If you are going to RUU I would use the RUU HERE. That way it will be easier to re-root your device afterward. One question, did you Update your Radio's and Touchscreen Firmware yet?

Why will it be easier to root my device?
Do I need to flash stock recovery? Or will they not check for this?

It will be easier to Re-Root your device if you RUU to 2.2, as opposed to 2.3.4 . Mostly because there are less steps involved. Once you RUU it will take the device to Factory fresh out of the box. Stock everything.

You don't think they'll be suspicious that I am still running froyo?
I am thinking about just calling sprint instead and seeing if they'll agree to do a replacement ahead of time. In that case, I can just RUU to 2.3.4 and not care since I'm not getting it back.

It depends on the Tech. Some techs don't care, as long as the device is not Rooted. Some may ask, but you just tell them you've never taken an Update. Calling Sprint ahead of time will most likely not do anything. They're going to want to check the device anyway. You can RUU to 2.3.4 then re-root later. It will just take a few more steps.

Yes, majority of the techs will be suspicious about you being on froyo... Android users are anal about their ota updates and very few users skip ota updates except rooted users... I state this from experience, as I brought in a shift unrooted on froyo a few months ago and than ended up at sprint for over an hour answering their questions... I got my replacement device but I will NEVER bring in a device not running the latest firmware...

In my experience it depends where you take it to have it serviced. If you go to a Corporate store, they check out stuff a lot more. But the up side is they are quicker to resolve an issue. The privately owned stores usually do not check the device out that in depth. If they can't fix the issue immediately, they usually just give you some options about getting another.

So, where do I get the stock 2.3.3 (or 2.3.4) RUU or zip file?
I can only find the 2.2 version.

Just run the exe then do the software upgrade

Thats kind of a pain.
I used http://goo.im/stock/speedy/ruu/PG06..._1.88_0128_PRL60674_release_196686_signed.zip
However, after it updated to S-ON, it says "Main Version is older! Update fail"
Do I need to use the 2.2 RUU?
EDIT:fastboot getvar version-main
2.77.651.3
Hrm. Did I screw up here?
Can I still use the 2.2 RUU?
Do I need to use the downgrade techniques to get it to downgrade?
EDIT2: I flashed the misc.img in order to trick hboot into installing 2.3.4 stock.
I'm not sure if I was suppose to have to do that.. but whatever, it worked.

Wait . What are you trying to accomplish? I thought you wanted to take it in for service. If you still want to take it in just run the 2.3.4 .exe RUU I've attached below. It will Update your device to 2.3.4 ,and done . Then you can take it in for service.
2.3.4 SPEEDY GB .exe RUU

I already got it flashed... so the issue is solved.
But, are you sure just using the RUU will work?
I was having issues because I was trying to install 2.76 "main-version" when the installed version was 2.77 or something, and it wouldn't let me downgrade.
As far as I understand both the file I linked and the one you posted validate against the version.
Therefore, I had to flash the misc.img for the TB (like you do to downgrade to 2.2), and then i was able to do it fine.

Glad you got it sorted. Yes, any of the Speedy RUU's should work. So long as you are Fully Rooted ( S-OFF ). If not then you can only Upgrade RUU.

I see. The issue with the PG06IMG is that the first thing it does is flash the bootlooder to S-ON, and then you can only upgrade.
Thank goodness for that TB misc.img exploit!
Could have really screwed myself over there. I'll have to be more careful in the future.

Always here to help

Where's the RUU for 2.2? Prboy, the link you posted was for 2.3 if its possible, can some post a link for 2.2? I tried searching but didn't find it. I'm on mobile so that's why
