Yeah, just stick the PD15IMG.zip or whatever in the root of your sd card and reboot into bootloader. I have no idea why you wouldn't want it rooted though, its not like tmobile is gonna find out that you are rooted.

guys, i'm sorry to ask this question but i never got the answer from reading all the stuff here. i have a froyo 2.2, stock, the classical one from the last OTA upd., not rooted, a 3.15.405.3 build, with hboot 1.01 and i would like to root the device . 1) do i need to "downgrade" the hboot to 1.00 ? i couldnt find any guide to this one 2) do i have to downgrade to 1.31. version as the Unlockr says? his video is from the 13.12.2010 so i'm wondering if the things have changed since then.
thanks for any answers, hope i dont make some people angry
You can't downgrade your hboot. But correct you need to downgrade your ROM to root your phone..

so i just downgrade the rom and thats it? i mean..the procedure with the gold card + downgrade etc but no worries about the hboot? thanks in advance
Now you need to flash clockwork recovery which will let you install custom ROM(CM7 for example).read carefully on unlocker.com and you should get answer for all your questions related to rooting your legend.

Simply flash the official Gingerbread update, which can be found in the development section.
It will put S-on and unroot your phone.

I thought that but wasn't sure thanks alot for the response
if you look at the link i posted is that a Gfree method? i was looking through the thread about flashing the gingerbread and it says if you did gfree i have to reverse that first, not sure how to do that
I got it thanks

The link you gave is applicable for stock 2.2.1 devices only.
To S-on and unroot your phone, Just follow this steps.
1. Download the official GB rom here.
2. Place it on the root of your sd card.
3. Switch On your phone while holding the Power button & the down volume button.
4. The hboot menu will update your phone (do according to the hboot instructions).
Now reboot & enjoy your update......This is the original T-mobile 2.3.4 update....so no worries.....
First I made the mistake of using the HTC method for unlocking my bootloader, I didnt come here 1st & getting my phone downgraded afterwards proved to be a difficult task, as I tried the simplest method many times, and I just couldnt get it to flash via hboot. But I finally got a stock rooted 2.2.1 rom on here, & I followed the Ultimate s-off guide, and everything appeared to go well, but s-on remained. Terminal said it applied everything without any errors. I have heard that it is difficult to remove the **UNLOCKED** and get s-off after doing things the HTC way. I am pretty good at following guides, but I am stuck at the moment. Any help would be appreciated. As I said the bootloader is unlocked and I have a 2.2.1 rooted rom on here. Whats the best way to go from here? Thanks

Man I am so excited! I sat back and read, I listened to others problems until I got a better understanding of what's going on. I managed to relock my bootloader, do a true root, s-off, & installed engineering hboot, and I feel lucky because I have the "bad chip" and I was so nervous, but I now have it done the right way! Thanks for any help that anyone has given.
the situation
i have a My touch 4g that i some how by the grace of God have rooted and unlocked the bootloader and i downgraded to 2.2.1
the problem
i have tried to flash several roms but only one stuck and flashed correctly which

thank you
First your S-ON so u have to do it using Adb
Second the file you downloading probably didn't finish downloading or is corrupt try downloading again.
Third: Your phone is ok the camera and wifi are known not to work for that ROM you flashed.

thanks for the reply but how do you flash a rom through adb ?
and there is no way to get my s-off ?
No, because you're unlocked through HTCDev tool.
You need to relock and downgrade to have S-OFF.
And your problem is - since you're unlocked by HTCDev, you need to flash kernels manually, using fastboot. Google it.
And your other problem is posting questions in General section instead of Q&A, and giving your thread a crappy title to add to it.
You said unlocked bootloader? Is that via HTC?

OK thanks for the help,thought this is were you post for help .....sorry about that
and as far as my title well that's what i need so that's what i asked for sorry if it was to crappy
so if a Moderator could please move this to the Q&A section that would be great and sorry about the post in wrong place like i said im still new to this .
and i did downgrade to 2.2.1 from 2.3.4 unless i did something wrong there ?
Maybe go back to stock and re-root? Lots of info here
Yes, you did wrong. If you have HBOOT 0.89.0007 - means you have the most updated HBOOT, and if you'd downgrade properly - you'd have HBOOT 0.86.0000.
You can still attempt to run gfree, but I doubt it'll do you any good.
You have 2 choices:
1) Stick with current setup and flash kernels from fastboot each time, like I said.
2) Modify misc_version again, relock bootloader, run "dowgrade" again, temp-root with Visionary and perm-root with gfree, following one of the many guides.
Your ROM won't flash, because it assumes something being written in the special file that describes the device as Glacier, but this assumption fails (most likely because the build you flashed previously messes something up in this file).
The other ROMs don't work, because you're not flashing the kernel.
Do some reading, please.
I can tell you this from experience, but I don't suggest you do anything until you calm down, gather your thoughts, and read some posts on this until it makes sense to you.
I had unlocked my bootloader via HTC. Then I realized it wasn't the best way, so I started doing this & that and having all sorts of issues. Only when you are ready, you need to relock your bootloader and then follow the very detailed guides on here to root and install the engineering hboot. I couldn't get s-off or downgrade to 2.2.1 until I relocked my bootloader. I don't know if that is the case for everyone, I only know I failed at every attempt to downgrade, until I relocked it. But please, be patient and try to read and understand a little before you attempt anything further.

I cannot find a way to downgrade my hboot from 89.0007, can anyone point me in the right direction please? it is unlocked via htc-dev but i cant s-off or perma root to flash anything other then stock roms, that are basicly completely stock but de-oxidized or rooted.

Don't forget to relock your bootloader before downgrading...htcdev is more hassle than what its worth...
thanks
got it downgraded so im sure the rest should be easy peasy thanks for the info, didnt realized that i had to relock to do it
