You can't downgrade from 2.3 Gingerbread... Sorry. Just isn't possible as of yet. But if your trying to downgrade because you took the OTA update and now can't root your phone, just wait, someone will make a root for Gingerbread here in the next couple weeks. Or get your learn on with Linux and do it yourself.

The only thing we can do,I think, is to wait for a miracle....praying...
i mean, TW offical rom=> my hero
I find the official update, even without BFS and overclocking, is much faster than MyHero.
Why would you want to downgrade to something that the rom you want to downgrade to is trying to get to your rom.. lol what i mean is Hero roms are trying to get to the level of the official rom. If you want to downgrade so you can root again.. just wait till someone makes the official rootable.
The SPL is the same version as the Hero (HBOOT-1.76.007). Anyone want to try rooting their Magic with the OTA Sense ROM using the Hero rooting instructions?

yes!! arg htc
Help!!
really, we can't flash the phone , for the rest of time ? nothing can search a method?? help us!
same problem,whether can find new kernel bug to get root access this latest rom?
so why do you want to downgrade again? is it just because of having no root and wifii tethering?
Not only because of having no root and wifii tethering,there is bugs and FCs within the TW Official Sense UI ROM.
Though it works faster,but the bugs and FCs are no less than the custom ROMs', and without root,I couldn't sync with my google account via certain APN...
There should be official instructions about the details of this update.
Now I would request the HTC's support to offer methods downgrading back to the original
version.

[Q] Quick froyo 2.2 ? please read TY!

You asking if you can OTA the update when its officially released?
If your running a custom ROM and kernel than you can't OTA it. If your just rooted and are running the stock ROM I believe you can OTA it but it will make you lose root.
If your running a custom ROM, you might as well just flash a custom FroYo ROM thats based off the Official FroYo one when its released, we all know the Dev's here make things better.

If you are running a completely stock Epic with no modifications to the kernel/ROM etc., then you will receive an OTA notification when it is available. If not, you will have to wait until the new .tar comes out in order to flash it with Odin, or you can go back to complete stock to receive the OTA.
Ok thats all i needed to no ty all for the fast responses! YOUR THE BEST GUYS! and yea im all stock so ill be getting it ota dont no the release date yet but im looking forward to it this month (I HOPE! lol) anyway just wanted to say ty and keep up your good work guys i check back very often and see wats out and new ;P

Maybe... But you can try it! Can you get it via OTA? If the answer is yes make it this way... you can abort installation once donwloaded and upload it searching it via Root explorer... Its only an idea..
But... you have 177 version... Its strange that you have an update... you have lastest froyo version...
Check out!
EDIT: Last version is 179...
no I don't have any update via ota, only via motorola software update....can you tell me if I can update with root permission without problem or is better remove them?
yes you can men dont be afraid

no i'm not so stupid i'm doing it, after it finishes I'll post news
ok
pls share the sbf... if possible and let us know if english language is supported or not supported...
i don't know how to share the sbf!
all done....no more root but i can't see any difference....
my version and my number build are the same...not sure on the other infos...
so what did it update???
I really don't know unfortunately...seems nothing
Settings->About phone - any details? Kernel version/buid number/etc?
kernel: 2.6.32.9
the other infos in the first post
And your sure its not an msu update?
i lost root on my phone, it can't be a msu update....i don't know is a mistery
it's a repair, not an update, it "fixed" your rooted phone
Sent from my MB525 using Tapatalk
so it detected that I had root and he removed it? I'm right? because when it was searching for updates, it controlled that my phone was under guarantee....thanks I think you have found the right answer, sorry for the inutility of the thread! I was hoping in an official update from motorola but there are no hopes...
sorry for bad english

You people, who are updating, do realize if this is the same as the soak test rom, then you CAN NOT fxz back to GB? So if you play with it and bootloop then you'll have to follow tcf38012's guide to reinstall ICS.

I´m trying to download the OTA but I think it is not initiating the download because some port is blocked in the firewall, does anyone know what port I need to open so I can download the OTA update?

As is already discussed in several other threads, there is no reason to have "another" OTA update thread. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Read back a couple posts for links to the discussion threads.
