Hello All,
If this has been covered before I apologize I havent been able to find the solution to my problem atm.
What I would like to do is ultimately downgrade my phone to Hboot 1.4 so that I can install a Custom Rom for the first time. However according to my research to do that you will need to wipe your phone in essence losing all my data so I would like to back it up first before I try that which I havent been able to figure out how to do that yet.
My phone build is Hboot 1.5 2.17.651.5
Based on what I have read many guide suggest that you will have to use the HTCdev Unlock to actually be able to root the phone but if my understand of what I am reading is correct you have to wipe the phone again which doesnt help me.
Ive tried so many different methods to be able to do temp-root but none of them seem to work for me so I would like a suggestion or some advice on what I can try so I can backup my phone before I try the downgrade.
Thanks guys

AFAIK, there is no way since both methods (downgrade and HTC unlock) cause you to wipe. I hope someone has a good answer (and I wish I had known it before I lost all my stuff downgrading ).
What all are you trying to backup? Your apps you can reinstall, your phone number's can be exported to your sd without root via your people app, videos and pics are stored on your sd so you can just insert your sd into your laptop/pc and back it up. Your texts are a different story, but I'm sure you will receive more texts.

I'm mostly trying to back up app data settings game saves etc. Sorry I didn't mention that, I'm also just trying to see how that works since I'm still learning about all of this. If that is something I shouldn't really worry about should I just go ahead with the downgrade?

Use Tacoroot to gain temp root on 2.17. This is HIGHLY unstable, do not touch the notification/status bar at all when it boots. just get in, get your backups, and get out.

Hey Unknown thanks for the reply im a fan of your work I have actually tried that method or one similar (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1441100) and have been unsuccessful so far (I also made a post in that thread). I'm really close to giving up and just doing the downgrade as I can not figure out how to make this work.

Highly unstable is an understatement . When I followed your downgrade process, my phone started a constant bootloop after using tacoroot. Luckily, it did not have to boot, but I still lost my data (which ended up being no big deal).
EDIT: Sounds critical of Unknownforce, but did not mean to. He is the reason I have root and will forever be in my signature.

Unfortunately it's the only known root method to work with 2.17. I didn't develop it, it was jcase, but it's better than nothing.

Alright i need help badly. I consider myself an advanced noob in installing roms and kernals on a phone. I have the rezound. I unlocked it about a week about and went through the step by step instructions. I installed ziggys kernal. I was getting some bootloops but not to many until this morning. My phone kept bootlooping. I would take the battery out and put it back and it would do it again. I tried wiping the date cache and dalvik. Nothing. I then formatted all to ext3. After i did that it said i need to install a rom. I try to restart my phone and it just stays on the HTC screen. I tried to do the factory restore. Nothing. I have to put my sd card in after i get into recovery because when i go to the bootloader screen the HBOOT does something and then asks me if i want to do an update. I tried and hit yes and it did it then reboots but nothing. When i hit no it just wants me to reboot my phone, which does nothing for me. As it is right now my phone wont load. it just stays on the HTC screen. HELP please

The other half of the problem is that it sounds like he formatted ext3 and wiped his ROM. So, he'd have to reboot back into recovery and restore a backup or drop a new ROM on the phone via USB.
Grab the RUU and start all fresh again.

This is one of the reasons I have not tried to hack this device. Although I may unlock/root my Rezound I'm not in a hurry to. It's really a great device. Just too expensive for me to maybe mess up. Especially since its our own fault if we do. Can't blame the carrier/manufacturer for not paying to fix/replace either. Hopefully you get it fixed soon. I know I wouldn't want to have to go through all that either.
i just installed the CleanRom. Ill let you know if this works

The answer should be in the CleanRom thread but as far as I know if you flashed Ziggy's Kernel, you should reflash it and that should solve the problem.

It shouldn't. You can't brick with unlock S-On. If you can get to HBOOT, you are fine. And there is no way to overwrite HBOOT yet.

And does it need to be said that this phone has been out for less than a month? Maybe we should give the devs a chance to work out the kinks before we start flashing.
I *really* miss WiFi tethering that I used to do with my DInc, but I am not about to root in the first two weeks of ownership before I see good, dependable feedback from the community.

Not trying to knock you but I don't see the point in waiting. Flashing a rom is fairly straightforward and even flashing kernels is for the most part. I had an Incredible prior to this and I am absolutely in love with my phone...that's why I read how to do things properly and learn from others mistakes.
Take the plunge! It's great on the otherside

There is a wifi tether app that doesn't require root. Koush is the dev. I tried it and it worked. That was the only thing I would have needed root for also. You should be able to find it if you search for it. If not, I'll find the link.

Ok, I looked around and cannot find an answer that works for me for this issue. I am wondering if it has to do with my phone having S-Off? I am most likely wrong, but i have to know whats going on. No matter what I try, I cannot get My Rezound to go from GB to ICS, ANY ICS BASED ROM for that matter. I checked MD5, Tried with battery door both removed and attached, with or without the SIM card inserted into the phone. The phone boots up almost 100%. I get a message saying "Updating Android" and it says its updating or doing something to 160 apps, the system then reboots, when it gets past the 4G screen again, It says that the boot was completed, I have no signal, i checked on the service type and its correct, tried a factory reset, and still nothing, the system just continues to boot loop over and over again, and when it boots up i cannot get past the Activation screen where it says that the phone is trying to contact Verizon to Auto Activate. I can go back to GB easily, and that works %100. Any and all information would be useful, Only reason why i think this might have to do with S-Off is because my first Rezound was S-On and worked just fine going to ICS, while this new one has S-Off and is just not cutting it.
If you have s-off the rom image could contain a radio update. That could be getting you...also data is off by default in some ICS ROMs.

so what would be recommended in this type of situation? I know its not the data being off thats causing the issue, because when i boot up i dont have a signal at all, and the lock screen instead of showing VZW banner it says No Signal. Would the Radio being an issue also cause boot loop issues?
Did you put the battery cover on the phone ?
Edit saw that u did sorry ...
Sent from my Dinc... I mean Rezound
Only thing i can think of is that the ICS rom you flashed has data off automatically, and requires you to keep pressing the home button until it passes the activation screen.
Also make sure your battery cover is on like yojoe600 said, your antenna is connected to the cover and without it you will have no signal.

this is just sooooooooo irritating. all that i have tried, this is kinda depressing. One interesting thing that i did come across though. When i flashed the BAMF GB, and tried to go from rom to rom to rom, i didnt get any MainVer error.... Dont know if thats just because S-Off allows you to go from one to another freely, or if its just not taking these updates.....
S-off has no mainvar issues. Try putting the gb radio into a PB zip or whatever the resound uses and flash that and boot to see of you get data then

hey guys, its not just data, the phone is bootlooping on him.
I know several people have s-off devices. You might try looking over on rootzwiki as well. Maybe a dev with s-off can help.

On a side note, how would one go about flashing a different recovery.img on an S-Off device, do i have to adb it, or can i do it on the fly? If so, how?

what you mean more info, my original post was pretty clear, dont mean to be snappy or anything, i could try to give more info maybe. I've tried all the "fixes" and so far nothing works. ALL AND ANY ICS BASED ROMS are not staying stable on my phone. They get stuck in what i think is the data bootloop, but i cannot access the dial pad other than through the Emergency dial pad, i input the *#*#4636#*#* and nothing comes up, i try without the battery cover, and without the SIM card as well (Also have tried Various combinations of SIM and Battery Cover removals and inclusions). The device has S-Off, and is Unlocked with DevUnlock, and has Perm Root.
Like I stated in my initial post, the leak may contain a radio update that your phone(and the network) isn't ready for. We wouldn't get that update because our radios are locked and only a signed update from HTC would install it. I'd say back down to GB and wait it out...or post in the thread of the ROM maker and ask them about the radio.

When I say more info, I mean don't describe every symptom... tell us specifically what you did. Every ICS ROM is unique, like for example I last installed newtoroot's Senseless 4.0.3 ROM. In order to use it, I had to flash a ICS Kernel, I used the fastboot method. Then I could flash the ROM using AmonRa Recovery, and it would boot and operate effectively.
That's the kind of specifics we need, so we can follow your steps and identify possible error points, if any.

Definetly more descriptive lol thank you for the breakdown infact. In that case, last one i tried what the ICS Sense Redefined, and I tried to use the fastboot method for the Included Kernel as well, but that didnt work at all, what ICS Kernel did you flash to get it to work? a Pre-Packaged one? When installing, I did a full wipe (Both the Amon Ra Factory Reset option and the SuperWipe that is in the Dev Forum) installed the Rom, went into the Bootloader and did ADB CMD of fastboot flash boot boot.img and thats about it.

That is the one I used. If you're having issues with fastboot flashing the kernel, you may want to throw the PH98IMG.zip onto your external sd-card and boot into HBOOT then hit vol up to install it that way

ok, i'll give this a shot really quick and do through ext. sd. thanks for the link btw, you've been extremely helpful. let ya know how this goes for me.
I have my Evo 3D and I decided I wanted to flash a ROM on it.
Basically I rooted it and went to flash a ROM on it, and ended up deleting the dalvik cache and cache.
The bad part is, I forgot (like a complete idiot) to do a Nandroid backup.
Is there any way to come back from this?
you could just run an RUU and get back to stock.
btw what problem do you have while flashing new roms?
deleting the dalvick cache and cache dousnt matter, it automatically creates it.
If you haven´t backup up your previous rom, then you cant recover it... that´s why it´s called a backup..
So whats the problem?
I think i read it wrong. do you mean you want to restore your previous stock rom + data? if so its not possible to restore the data without a nandroid.

That works even though I can only see the bootloader screen / TWRP recovery screen.?
And my problem was that I had an error while trying to flash room. I might have done it wrong.
But I just want my phone to work. I dont need my apps or contacts etc
.
Not sure what the problem is either. If you delete the dalvik turn the phone back on and it automatically recreates it. No problems what so ever.
It sounds like you flashed or tried to flash a ROM without doing a full wipe. However I'm not sure.
Perhaps you could tell us in more detail the problem and what you would like to do and we can help ya..

I know that you are trying to help, but all I wanted to know was how to make it back to normal. But seeing as I did it incorrectly, I could really use the help.
I did not do a Nandroid backup.
What I did was try to flash the rom without wiping my phone, like you said.
Then I selected the option of clearing both cache and dalvick cache.
Then tried flashing rom again. Did not work.
I am sorry I cant recall what the error was when doing it, but I will let you know when I try again in a second (if it doesnt work this time.) [ I also found a different tutorial and would like to give it a try.
There isn't a way to get back to the same state your phone was in before wiping it since you did not do a backup. If you are gsm then find the gsm RUU. If CDMA then find the CDMA version. That will get you back to the stock version but it will be as if you just turned it on for the first time ever.
It would be easier to just download a different ROM and put it on your SD card then flash it. Although it won't be stock...
But before doing any of that just boot recovery and do a full wipe. Then reflash the ROM you were trying to install.
I got back to stock with RUU. Then I figured out how to successfully back up and flash my phone with different roms.
Thank you for all your help.
Good luck in your flashing endeavours! Its addicting.
I actually am having an issue. I am trying to flash a rom on my phone and it says im extracting boot.img with a progress bar on the bottom. The progress bar seems to be staying at one point and not moving.
He said something about naming something to PG86IMG and wasnt clear to me what to name PG86IMG.
Any speculations?

I tried the wire trick. Couldn't get it to work. Maybe because I used speaker wire which isnt a sold wire but strands. Do you think that makes a difference?
As long as there is a connection all the way through, no. Keep in mind i tried 20 times or so, you have to get the timing right.
Take another look at the demo vid and try again, if you're not sure about the wire, use a paperclip with some tape around it. (tape is important, you don't want your skin to touch the metal)

I did the wire trick about a week or two ago and I couldnt time it just right so I just continuously tapped the SD card metal holder dealio with the paperclip about every second and it worked the fourth or fifth try.

I no longer have any recovery at all. While following the boot loader method of updating Twrp found here. Bah, im not allowed to post links.
I just dug myself deeper into the hole it seems, Last thing in the world i want to do right now is have to pay lots of money to fix my mess
EDIT: I was able to get TWRP working again. Phew. Still have a alot of progress to make
ANOTHER EDIT: Out of some miracle, wiping everyhting for the 034612093612903126th time and then flashing worked, Superjelly booted and everything... Oh my god im relieved.

I'm having basically the exact same issues you had. Do you mind shedding some light my way? I've been in a soft brick for a while now. Although I almost had a rom go through, until my touchscreen was unresponsive (i think due to my bootloader showing S-ON and not S-OFF). I can access the bootloader and TWRP. I have no backups (this is my first time rooting and flashing, in case you haven't noticed). I don't know how to take the S-OFF or recover the old Sense 4 stock os. At this point i really would just like to use my phone. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Can somebody please provide me with a forum on how to unlock the bootloader, root the phone, and install a custom recovery on my droid dna. My software version is 2.07.605.1 710RD. Thank you.

I'm a complete n00b to rooting and have been trying to find an answer to the same question before diving in. I have looked through tons of info, including the 2 threads posted in responses, but can't seem to get a clear answer as to whether these methods work for 2.07... There seems to be a lot of conflicting reports. Would love to know if you confirm that either of these work.
May have answered my own question
It looks like there are further reports of moonshine working on 2.07.

I'm going to give it a try tonight and will report back here.
I haven't seen anything about unlocking or rooting on 2.07, only s-off. I have a new DNA being shipped out thanks to my warranty, but I really don't want to go back to 4.1 after being on 4.3 for a few great months!

Yep, sorry for mixing up unlocking and rooting with s-off. I just thought getting s-off would better for a n00b like me as it seems to make the custom ROM / kernel process a bit more straight forward.

I tried last night and ran into a few problems and then ran out of time. Got an error along the lines of [can't obtain temproot] during one of the moonshine steps... This may be due to the fact that I did not factory reset before moonshining. I will try again this evening (after factory reset).
Do you know I should go through the normal phone set-up after the factory reset? Or just reset then dive into moonshine?
Thanks!

I'd think factory reset everything. I believe that is what I done. There is a support page for the moonshine program but I forget where it was.

I found the site..
I must had been on 2.06 when i done mine. I didn't even know there was another update.
I read on the moonshine site its only for 2.06
JUst type moonshine droid dna and you'll see it. I don't think I'm allowed to post links.
Well, I can 100% confirm that moonshine works for 2.07. It took several tries (4 to be exact, with factory reset between each), but I am now s-off! Woohoo! Now on to flashing twrp, and my first try at a custom ROM.

Thanks for the offer! I was actually able to flash twrp and a custom ROM. It was much easier than I originally anticipated. My eyes are now open to a whole new world... Not sure I'll ever be able to go back to a stock Stock/manufacturer ROM.
Now running ViperDNA 2.0.1. I picked Viper as it sounds like this is one of the most stable/least buggy ROMs out there right now (plus it runs fine on the stock kernel). Do you have any other suggested ROMs for the DNA?

Looks good.
I too just had success with Moonshine. Just literally got my DNA, previous owner took the OTA. First time failed at "temproot", second time ran flawless.
Congratulations if u need help installing. SDK. Adb. Fastboot. Recovery and or a ROM. Message me

Well, still troubleshooting some things. Successfully had root access and using the correct settings I could run wireless tether fine. I then proceeded to backup then install viper Rom. Set everything up fine however nothing I tried would get tether going. So I restored my backup (tether is a must) and still same issue. It starts but I cnt connect which is strange as I was using it fine earier.
So now I did a factory reset and flashed superuser, now tether won't start. Says "started with errors" using the exact same settings. So I'm going to try flashing the stock ota deodedex Rom see if that solves it.

Did you use the Windows or Linux version?

Windows (Vista believe it or not...). Make sure you have the correct device drivers installed first, and uninstall HTC Sync.
