Word of Warning

[Droid800]

If you decide to downgrade from Froyo, you MUST completely wipe the device before you do so. I used Android's built-in wipe, but that resulted in multiple force closes on boot-up and the traditional android set-up walkthrough itself force-closed.

The only solution I found was to root the device and use the wipe device feature in Amon-Ra's recovery to completely wipe the device, cache, and dalvik-cache. It did the trick, and the phone started up with no issues at all.

I didn't have to. All I did was stick the stock ROM image "passimg.zip" onto my sdcard, reboot and flash. No errors, no force closes. Just a clean flash and it booted right up like it was straight out of the box.

What is the poiint of downgrading?

Some of us had many issues with it, mine was an unbootable phone till I downgraded, so we have to wait for the full official release

What is the poiint of downgrading?

Because Froyo is very unstable at this point. Some things don't work properly, and some people have had major issues. If you can't depend on your phone to, you know, make phone calls, then there's a point to downgrade.

Did you do it correctly? I haven't had a single issue (beyond my crappy T-mobile service, but that's nothing new). Come on EVO! Back to a network that works.

Of course I did it correctly. The issue was with the software.
