!!!! ROOTING/FLASHING/DOWNGRADING IS ALWAYS ON YOUR OWN RISK !!!!
Attention: This method will completely wipe your phone!!!
You can find the reworked Tutorial here: http://android-tutorials.org/
Video of the first step is online: Step 1
Video of the 3 & 4 step is online: Step 3 & 4
Known Problems
If you have problems while re-rooting or custom recovery (unrevoke) try to downgrade again with the above procedure.
Make sure you have made a new goldcard.
If you have problems e.g. 140 ERROR please follow these instructions (thx to raz2133)
This will fix your MISC Partition so you can flash back original RUU files.
Happy re-rooting
P.S. i hope you can understand this because english is not my foreign language
Great News!
Im not Root-Bricked ^^ but someone else will be happy with it =)
Edit: Why is 1 Pic from July and one from March!? And different times.
Thank you!!!
Maybe you should add: this wipes your device...
This is great, keep up the good work! =)
Edit: Are we sure those that do not have a carrier locked/branded also needs to create a goldcard?

For everyone how was in bad luck and updated to the original OTA FroYo here is a way how you can revert it.
The User maximini1 has found a thread where they describe how you can downgrade to 0.80 again.
So i try to explain how you have to do it.
Preparation
1. Make a NEW Goldcard (here)
2. Download PB99IMG.zip (here - MIRROR - germany MIRROR2)
3. Rename the downloaded file to "PB99IMG.zip" and copy it onto your SD Card.
Flashing
1. Shutdown yor mobile
2. Hold Volume up and press power
3. wait until PB99IMG.zip was found and checked
4. Press Volume Up <yes> - PICTURE 1
5. Wait until all steps are done. DON't POWER OFF YOUR DEVICE!!! - PICTURE 2
6. After flashing press Volume Up to reboot
7. done
Happy re-rooting

Looks like it's possible for those with an unbranded/unlocked phone:
mbroeders said:
First of all, I have an unbranded simlock-free phone. All I did was
1. download the file to SD card.
2. rename to PB99IMG.zip
3. boot into recovery (turn phone on while holding down volume)
4. just let it load the zip file and press yes when asked to install
Easy as that!

Root your phone with unrevoked, using on of these guides for example:
Linux:

Windows:
http://myhtcdesire.com/modding/how-to-root-your-desire-easily-method-2
Ok for the dumb and ignorant among us (a.k.a me) what state does this leave your phone in.
I get I downgrade HBOOT to 0.80 and my phone will be wiped, but what ROM will be on the phone after the downgrade will it still be the OTA rom or will it be another one?
Or do I then need to install a ROM of my choice after the downgrade, sorry if this is a really stupid question, I haven't put any custom ROM on my Desire yet and then I got the OTA update as I was thinking about checking out some custom stuff. Not had the phone long.
Thanks.

After you've done the steps above you will have the following:
Blank and wiped device
Firmware: 2.1-update1 UNROOTED!
HBOOT: 0.80
Basband(Radio): 32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2
Kernel: [email protected]#1
Build: 1.21.405.2 CL174215 release-keys
With that you can root and flash anything you want
Thanks for the tuto.
Hello sweety 0.80, bye bye dirty 0.92 ^_^
Worked for me.
Btw, didn't need the gc
Well, if this works AdamG doesn't have to find a way to root hboot 0.92.
:/
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Has anyone tried this on a branded, but rooted phone?
I've got an O2 branded desire with hb00t 0.83, I can root with unrevoked, but can't boot into recovery =( Hoping this will fix it.
It's works fine! Why doesn't work the recovery bat. on my PC?

The link for the ROM is posted above, download that. Extract that, the password is linked to the post.
-Download ODIN Multidownloader 4.43. Link: http://www.google.fi/url?sa=t&rct=j...n4WHBA&usg=AFQjCNEnkhKjmSRxlKLFcVNdXh8nnFxU1A
-After it has downloaded, extract it anywhere u want (i suggest desktop, easier)
-RUN ODIN.
-Power off your phone.
-Put your phone into downloading mode. Hold together: Power+Volume Down+Home (phone boots to Downloading mode)
-Connect your phone to PC via USB cable.
-Wait for the drivers to install. After that, in ODIN, one of the top line "bars" should turn yellow and some text should appear there.
-Download the AriesVE.ops file and check it as OPS. Then check one package from the top left. Link to download: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=770410&d=1320332631
-The ROM you've downloaded, check it as one package. Then click flash.
-Flashing will take about 9 minutes.
-Enjoy!
Thank`s dude .. I just hitted your thank`s button
Wich part must load, because when I extracted the firmware I founded 2 files:

All the ROMs in this forum are stock roms from different carriers.

Just read the guide. There's damn step by step instructions.

The ROMs here are similar to those updated via Kies. Maybe some applications can be different. I mean it can take quite long to get a regional update. If you're worried about your warranty, just take a backup of your current system.
Hi. Please could somebody help me. I have a UK model from orange. It's now unlocked but has orange bloatware. I have searched the forums for a debrand method but only found one, and that only works with win xp.
Is there any way to unbrand this phone with windows 7. Orange did not support this phone and it's still stuck on android 2.2.2.
Thanks in advance

Could you try this?
I've done it a few times myself, with succes, and I think this is the way I've managed it.
*This asumes you've installed
Follow this on the official LG site: http://www.lg.com/uk/support-mobile/lg-LGP920 , and go to the tab "software update".
But instead of just updating your phone do this: Click on User/Support (above) then emergency mode, insert your IMEI and click on check
?
It didn't work i'm afraid. What's really odd is that the phone is on froyo 2.2.2 and the OTA update from the phone says there's no update available. Yet the lg update tool tells me an update is available yet after it has downloaded and about to 'install' it stops and says that the update cannot continue because a 'fatal error' has occured ?
Very odd. I'm guessing the orange bloatware is the problem. I HATE orange !
Edit. Ok, i just installed all the flashing tools to my pc (win 7) But when i open flash tool a window appears saying 'lg usb/parallel key is not detected. i'm also asked for a password and id ?

I downloaded everything but there was no crack included for the flashtool and no .dll file to enter into the flashtool ? it certainly looks incomplete so did not help at all.
Do i really have to keep entering an image verification everytime i need to reply on my own thread ? Seems so daft.

Funnily enough i tried your method first. The flashtool kept asking for an id and password so i could not continue. Where do i find the id and password ? that was with flashtool 1.1 running on win 7
Copy the indicated file over the original as instructed or use 1.2 if you want. You also have to run the installer before using it...It might be a good idea to run it in xp sp3 compatibility mode.

The link for downloading the p920 .dll file is broken. Is it available anywhere else ?
Thanks for telling me, I'll repost it...

Thanks drastic00. I've downloaded the link :good:
not working
I've now tried all methods and nothing works. The furthest i have got so is to hit the yellow start button on the flash tool, but the port does not become ready. I have followed all instructions to the letter.
Recheck step 1 details carefully. Be sure antivirus and Defender are off when downloading and decompressing. It won't start until drivers are installed correctly.
You should see the devices in device manager with no 'blinking' of the omap device, and LG CDMA USB SERIAL, on which you change the port number to 41. Then you are ready to flash.
That part is fiddly.

If you can boot into bootloader, flash the proper signed firmware from htc.
Otherwise, more likely is that you have HARD BRICKED your phone. Your only hope then is this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1522351

To use the HTC unbricking project, you need your sensation to be in qhsusb_dload state when you connect it with your pc.
You've got nothing to lose trying though. Also, flashing corrupted files for firmware/radio is probably the top way to brick your device. I'm sorry about your phone but ALWAYS check md5 sum before flashing anything (bootloader/recovery)

Its simple..but you need correct files to do it successfully..
Download correct stock firmware file
Correct I mean according to you model and build number.
The firmware number should be same or higher ..

at the root of your SD card, shut down your phone then hold power + both volume buttons. When the phone is starting release the power button but keep holding volume buttons. It should start installing the firmware.
If it doesn't work you probably need to install a stock recovery and retry.
If the firmware you have chosen is the wrong one the phone won't accept it . (Upgrade failed)
Please take note that if the process succeed it will erase all your data, you should take a backup before
Good luck bro even if it isn't a tough process, and let us know the end of the story

No tool needed for that..its called dload method..
Download firmware
Extract firmware
Put update.app in dload folder
Power up the phone by pressing three button(power button, vol+ and vol- button)
Flashing process begin..
You need a stock recovery to perform dload..

I want to try to root and fix my phone before the weekend started so I can have fun, can I annoy you or anyone else with this?
I need to get help with two things, first get the flash on my FRD-L09 FRD-L09C185B387, emui 5 androids 7.0 and get my notepad and clock back, second, i need to root it, in the right way with no issues.
Thanks best regards
To root it you first need to install a clean ROM without missing apps. In order to do that you need to perform the dload method that I detailed previously.
Then unlock bootloader, flash TWRP, flash superSU and you're rooted
