if you haven't decided on a ROM yet use the AC ROM in the Sticky section. it's super.

I did the downgrade successfully as posted on XDA. I stopped after 2.1 booted successfully, right before the unrevoked instructions. I proceeded to use the SimpleRoot method posted here.

This app has 4 steps... and the last step is supposed to flash a rom... but the hboot on my phone says Main Version is Older! Update Fail! Any help on this?

which rom are you trying to flash, if your trying to flash CM, you need an engineering bootloader.

the step 4 of this application made my phone go into hboot and it says to "wait until the device prompts you to install update" but it says update fail!

not having your phone to look at . . . it sounds like you didn't successfully revert back completely. hate to say it, but you may have to re-trace your steps.

go back and re-do the:

cd /data/local
./flash_image misc /sdcard/mtd-eng.img

by itself and if that doesn't work. start from the beginning.

I noticed that the app missed copying the flash_image file over to the sd card, so i booted back and copied that file and retried the step 4. now it is updating. thanks.

So far so good. The updating process bypassed the TP part. Not really sure what it is for, but it's rebooting now. Wow... the Sprint splash 4G video is replaced by one that says HTC quietly brilliant. LOL!

good man, just make sure to delete all the files from your sd card when your done.

 

[doctorx]

I did the clean root files and afterwards, I did the flash recovery using RA recovery... and the phone rebooted to a exclamation sign. What have I done wrong?

EDIT: I pulled the battery, and it booted back again. How can I confirm that I have the RA recovery?

 

[UTnick]

hmmm, you could phrase that differently for me please.

so you deleted the flash_image after you were done, but did you ever use the simple root to root the phone after you reverted back to 2.1 completely?

Change your sig brotha!!!
