Sry for bad English.
this work for all Desire HD devices such as branded device and ect
Now a downgrade method has arrived! After this process, you can use any root (+ S-OFF) method you want. Basically your device will be just like any other Desire HD with older build version.
1- Get stock 1.32 PD98IMG.zip ROM
2- format microSD as FAT32 (I suggest that the mirror can format with Memory Reader)
3- Download the attached file and extract it
4- Put PD98IMG.zip and attached file to your SD card
5- take the phone to boot loader (I suggested at the first turn off the phone battery click here again, in memory instead of its own And hold volume down button and turn on phone) and wait to be installed ROM.
What is this? That text has been copied almost completely from my downgrade guide.
pls put link
It is a sticky here in XDA. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
) this works diffrently and you don't need to any goldcard or pc conection.
The link is copied from the original thread.
Don't you need to trick the phone a lower version number if you have 1.72 installed in order to Update to a lower version number? eg. Cable connected from Phone to PC and the steps in the original thread?
That is right, this guide is fake, troll or something like that.

Haha clearly OP, wow this thread is funny.
may be speaking out of term here, but can anyone else confirm as the only ones to "confirm" this method works all write in the same "style" of english
If i'm on gingerbread (CM7) can I flash this and it'll be me back to stock firmware? (first version released?)

Sorry for my english, I'm from spain ....
I see that you did not tried this method... then .... Why would discredit the work of another person without knowing?
I've tried it and it has worked perfect for me.
I'm not used to write much in the forums, but when i do it i try to know what I'm talking about.
I hope you can understand my poor and maybe ridiculous english.
Alright, I stand corrected, it seems to work for some people. The question is, does it work for people without S-OFF. Because that is what the downgrade is for, and people here just seem to be interested in going from higher custom builds to stock.
So, can someone with branded stock phone confirm this?
Thread close while this gets investigated....
@jkoljo...would you mind PMing this member and try to sort it out? I would get involved if you need me too
Cheers,

Hey there, first post
I have a HTC HD7 phone on O2. Its current version is 7.0 (7392) and has not been unlocked with chevronWP7 before.
My question is how do i downgrade for 7004 or 7008 so i am able to use Chevronwp7 to unlock my phone?
I have been searching the forms for help and found out it is possible to downgrade using something called "ROMS" so i tryed searching that. But i had no luck finding a tutorial or usefull help on to how to do this.
So please can some one tell me how to do this? i am completly new to it all. So please try to break it down.
Thank You

hi original spike
first you need to google the following files and download them. make sure they are the exact named ones:
RUU_Schubert_O2_UK_1.57.728.02_Radio_5.52.09.16_22.33a.50.10U_Signed_by_ansar
and
RUU_Schubert_HTC_Europe_1.16.401.01_Radio_5.51.09.06a_22.30.50.09_Signed_SCHUBERT_RELEASE
after you downloaded them extract each of them in to seperate folders. from now you will be working from the folders so put the downloaded files away.
now copy the modelid.fig file from
RUU_Schubert_O2_UK_1.57.728.02_Radio_5.52.09.16_22.33a.50.10U_Signed_by_ansar folder in to the
RUU_Schubert_HTC_Europe_1.16.401.01_Radio_5.51.09.06a_22.30.50.09_Signed_SCHUBERT_RELEASE folder.
after you have done this put your hd7 in to dfu mode by power off completly then hold volume down and press power button.
connect usb and make sure were it says seriel to begin with changes to usb.
Now run the ROMUPDATEUtility from inside the RUU_Schubert_O2_UK_1.57.728.02_Radio_5.52.09.16_22.33a.50.10U_Signed_by_ansar folder you extracted and wait for it to finish and when it does it will show up as an error and put your phone back in to dfu mode which is exactly what you want to happen.
Now run the ROMUPDATEUtility from inside the RUU_Schubert_HTC_Europe_1.16.401.01_Radio_5.51.09.06a_22.30.50.09_Signed_SCHUBERT_RELEASE folder you extracted and once that has finished voila enjoy your new debranded htc hd7.

this link............. RUU_Schubert_HTC_Europe_1.16.401.01_Radio_5.51.09. 06a_22.30.50.09_Signed_SCHUBERT_RELEASE ............. its only one file named RUU_Schubert_HTC_Europe_1.16.401.01_Radio_5.51.09. 06a_22.30.50.09_Signed_SCHUBERT_RELEASE.exe, its 208mb in size or some thing, there is no ROM update utility.exe in it..so its all fake...
or else give some reasonable links
sorry i dont have tmobile so i am unable to test it out. your best bet is to ask ansar..he's the man for wp7 roms. search him or go to htc hd7 section . at the moment he is redesigning his posts due to the new update releases.
cant reach ansar some how.....
when i followed his procedure i got my hd7 bricked...coz the send file he has mention does not exist...so if some 1 can find me a link to this files RUU_Schubert_HTC_Europe_1.16.401.01_Radio_5.51.09. 06a_22.30.50.09_Signed_SCHUBERT_RELEASE n not the .exe file i wil b very thankful

Hello everyone,
I'm am pretty sure there are many guides in rooting your htc phone as well as flashing a custom ROM. I am also pretty sure that there are guides out there that uses BIG words with not enough Lament words, so here is a simple noob friendly guide to basically make your life easier.
1. Download and install HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe from http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/revolutionary
2. Download revolutionary-0.4pre4.zip for windows from http://revolutionary.io
3. Extract it and run revolutionary.exe
4. Connect HTC Sensation to PC and select HTC Sync.
5. revolutionary.exe should detect your HTC Sensation phone and provide your with details about hboot and serial number.
6. select the hboot version and type the serial number into the box and hit enter.
7. It will now try to root phone. Wait and the phone will restart a few times.
8. When it's done, it'll ask to install clockworkmod recovery (cwm). Choose Y for yes or N to refuse. Install recovery based on what the ROM suggests. For ARHD, it suggested EXT4 touch recovery, so press N.
9. Press volume button up or down to navigate and select reboot phone by pressing power button.
10. Download EXT4 touch recovery at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377759 (thanks to Madmaxx82)
11. Read the Read Me to learn how to install EXT4 Touch recovery.
12. Download firmware 3.32 for the related CID and MID. Be sure to check your phone's CID and MID
13. Download Super Wipe at http://xda.androidrevolution.nl/db_...ndroid_Revolution_HD_Super_Wipe_Sensation.zip
14. Download the ROM found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849 (credit to Mike1986)
15. Copy the file PG58IMG.zip to the root of microSD. (root - meaning not in a folder)
16. Copy the super wipe and 6.6.3 ROM zip files to the root of microSD.
17. Power off your phone/ Remove battery from phone
18. Hold volume-down and power button simultaneously to get into bootloader mode.
19. When in Bootloader, it will automatically ask you to update your firmware, press 'yes.'
20. Once the update is complete, immediately take out your battery. (it may sound scary, but it's actually quite safe)
21. Take your MicroSD out and connect it to your pc to remove the PG58IMG.zip and insert it back once completed.
22. Get into boot loader once again (volume down + power button)
23. Now your bootloader screen should read:
-revolutionary-
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.27.1100
RADIO-11.22.3504.07M
24. Select 'recovery' and it will automatically lead you into 4EXT recovery (the one you installed earlier)
25. Install 'superwipe' script.
26. Select 'install from sd card' and look for the Custom ROM you have copied into the root of your Sd card.
27. During the installation you will be asked the following questions:
-Do you have a TMOUS sensation 4g?.
-Do you want to flash the sony bravia engine support?.
-Do you want to flash Stock or Custom Kernel?
-If you picked custom then you will be given a choice between Faux or Sebastian Kernel
-Do you want to flash HQ camera?
Once again this is all your choice, please read up on what each of them does.
28. When the ROM is fully flashed select back
29. Select reboot from 4ext recovery
30. Done, enjoy ICS with Beats Audio, the first boot should take around 5-10 mins
HAVE FUN ROOTING AND FLASHING CUSTOM ROM NOOBS :-D
Just remember, do this at your own risk, I will not take any responsibility for you Bricking your phone***
Good job!

Some feedback to your thread
Hi, i wanted to give some feedback about this.
Regarding the content of your post, you might want to correct some things you've wrote that make the guide not so simply but confusing and inaccurate... sheer constructive criticism.
"Download firmware 3.30 for the related CID and MID.". If you are pretending to guide someone on how to flash any "newly" released ICS ROM you need to download and flash 3.32 firmware, not 3.30.
"This phone MID is modelid: PG5813000 and CID is cidnum: HTC__044. So if new kernel appear in the future, be sure to download from this category only.". You meant your specific phone, right?. Every guy out there has a different phone and more likely a different CID. There is a CID thread just in case you want to check out some of the available CIDs. Also, (and even more confusing) CID and model aren't related in any ways to kernel or firmware, what do you mean with "a new kernel appear in the future"? we have new kernels almost every 2 days from faux, sebastian, show-p and other developers, and what category are you talking about specifically?
In the third point you wrote It will now trying to root phone. Wait and the phone will restart a few times. Revolutionay tool is intended to S-OFF the device, not rooting. Then your guide isn't about how to root the phone as the thread title says ... i think this is the guide noobs are actually looking for.
If you are quoting or using content from others posts the correct thing to do is to give proper credit to the author i.e: Mike1986., authors of revolutionary tool, madmaxx among others.
I'm speaking for myself here and i want to ask you kindly to credit my work in the things you've pretty much copied literally from my thread [GUIDE][APR.16.12] How to flash ICS 3.32 firmware | flash/update ARHD 6.6.x ICS ROM, first post, steps 4 and 5.
I'm reffering to steps 18 to 37 in your guide which are 99% the exact same words i've wrote in my guide. I've spent some time and effort writing that guide, While i don't see why you wanna re-write my guide If you want to use my work it's ok, i don't mind, but please at least give proper credit and don't go around saying is your guide and your work when 50% of it's copy-pasted from my thread.
Also i've taken down the download link of 4EXT recovery touch flashing tool (steps 11 and 12 in your post) which i've modded and packed myself and it's also posted in my guide, if you want the dropbox download link i can give it to you, but again, proper credit.
You've open a thread in Android development section, and this is clearly not a development thread. Pleas ask a mod to move your thread to the correct section. Nevermind, thread has been moved already. Thanks to the mods.
Thanks
Couldn't agree more, it's not that we don't appreciate the effort but there are enough guides on this forum and all the info is there for grabs, you just have to find it. There's no need to create new guides because people don't use the search button.
Hello everyone.. Not that i wanted to copy any of your work and take credit for it, as i have never seen your guide.. I am sorry if i have offended you in any way.. I practically just wrote down what my friend told me over the phone, as he was explaining to me the proper way to root as well as put in a custom ROM on my sensation. I did not in any way meant or did not know that i was copying anybody's work. As far as i know, i only wrote this guide to help beginners, as i was once one. The only guide i have read was mike's guide on the front page of the ARHD thread, which at first i did not really understand. Another thing, it's not that i didnt want to give mike credit and take all the credit for my own, as you can see i am using's Mike's ARHD banner as well as i have given links to his thread. As for your guide, i will rephrase everything if it makes you feel better cheers mate~ The most important thing for me is to expand the sensation community.

Brother, if there is enough guides on this forum, why do new beginners always ask the same questions? ..well let me tell you my experience, understand certain guides is a bit difficult as they contain words not familiar to beginners. Once again, i made this guide so i wouldnt have to refer to anyone else's guide if someone else needed my assistance/help. cheers mate~
Would like to once again apologize for my premature posting of this thread. I should have asked my friend what his sources were. Thanks again all for the heads up

Well there is no absolute need, but then again he is free to do as he pleases.
If he (or ANYONE for that matter) is simply trying to help the noobs that come on here every day asking, "How i root plzzz help thx", then I am all for it.
But I don't think anyone should be denied the right to create these sorts of guides. Plus, the poorer written ones eventually die anyway, its the way a forum works.

Sometimes it's just sheer laziness. Other times they may not understand other guides or just need reassurance.
Either way, I appreciate you taking the time to create this.
Like i said, offcourse we appreciate the effort! What i'm trying to say is that people need to use the search function more. There are enough guides, If you don't understand something in the guide than ask it in the thread, no need to make a new thread about it.
Also, my experience is that If you use the search function enough, you will learn a lot about your phone and the ways to modify it. With that knowledge you can help other people. It's a vicious circle ;-)

OK guys, I have never rooted a phone but decided today to give it a try, why.. first cause I dont wish to wait till June for ICS and second becuase I saw this simple looking step-by step guide......so I thought simple.
First off I am PC savy but NOT at all cell phone hacking savy. All of this jargun you all use CID, MID, RUU, 4EXT means nothing to me and I have gotten lost.
I started with the instruction on this thread but then got the bright idea of seeing if there were some youtube step-by-steps how to's and there were. But the two videos I watched must have been older cause they had one major step differnt.
They say to type Y to Install recovery mod after S OFF, and I did. so now the next steps in the video dont work and I have veired off track what you all say to do.... I'm scared and lost.
I'm a realtor and my phone is my money maker, I can't brick it.

Bro, i understand what you're saying.. haha trust me.. My only advice to you is.. If i were you and my phone was of great importance. Don't root your device.. Even if the process is quite easy and most of the time people don't brick their devices, there is still a small percentage.. The best thing you could do is update to ICS via official HTC release, which if i am not mistaken, has already been done in many countries. Cheers mate.

Ok pal paste us a link to the video you followed. Now, does your phone still start up properly? If so then this should be easy. Power off the device fully. Remove the battery for around 20 seconds or so then reinsert. While holding down volume down also hold power until the device boots to bootloader. (Bootloader is equal to BIOS for a PC). It will give you some information. Post that Info up here. If it says s-off then using the volume buttons scroll down to recovery and push power. If you see a red triangle and/or exclamation mark then you have a stock recovery. If it says clockwork mod recovery then you are s-off with a custom recovery and all seemingly has went well
Also Cid stands for carrier identification and is used for carrier information and software I think. Mid is used to reference the country/ area you are in, for software as well as networks. They are both used together. Ruu stands for rom utility update and is a HTC program for updating HTC phone software and ext4 is a custom recovery that uses an exit4 partition on the sdcard I believe

oppps. XD guess i didnt answer your questions properly..sorry i misread.. The first thing we need to know is whether or not your phone can start up and does not just blank out when you turn it on.
Hey guys, thank you for the quick replies. Yes thank goodness it does power up.
ok here is the youtube video i followed, opps.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvg0i8in96M
All I got was to turn the phone to s-off but not rooted.
So yes the phone functions, but not my voicemails. It now say
"This phone was associated with a different account. Do you want to delete the exsisting voicemails?"
So I would like to proceed with the upgrade to ICS, unless becuase I am SUCH a noob you all think I should just some how revert back to S-on and leave my phone alone?
I just read here all the time, you should root, its SOOO easy... and it not if you are a noob..
Thank you all for your time, and I love this site.

i cant see it being an issue bud firstly, i am yet to own this device (but soon! roll on payday ^^) so i can only take you as far as rooting and custom recoverys, but for ics updates youd best ask others go to this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 and follow steps 2 through to 4 and then you will have a custom recovery, full root and supercid ^^ after that if you want to try an ice cream sandwich rom look
at the dev thread here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1112&order=desc&page=2 always double check that you understand what your about to do before you do it, and all threads *should* have full instructions on how to flash them. remember that installing a custom rom will WIPE ALL YOUR DATA so remember to do a nandroid back up from your recovery good luck pal and enjoy
OK guys, well I did not chicken out. I followed the video once again, but this time used my original stock SD card and everything worked. I am rooted! so now to the next steps...
wish me luck.

Just installed ICS on my sensation 4G...
Everything went fine. Here is the problem....
Unable to root. Searched everything and everywhere...getting tired.
Tried Sensation ToolKit to no avail.. Am I missing something???
Phone is S-OFF for the last 9 month, was rooted until I flashed T-mo RUU to prepare for OTA ICS.
Please..... If anyone has any idea, help!!!!
Go to this thread to root ICS.
Thanks.
Just came from that thread... Does not work for me for some reason.....

Try going to the Play Store and downloading SuperSU or Superuser
and install them. I suggest you try SuperSU first, but some have reported it not working. After you have SuperSU installed download and install BusyBox. Then download Root Checker and run it, if it says you are not rooted then try the other Super User app.

more info
give more info about what rom and firmware you are running...all the sowftware info. will try to help.
If what I posted before does not work do this. Download this file and place it on the root of your SD card and flash it via bootloader. Then use the Recovery you just flashed to flash this SuperSU.zip by chainfire. then download and install Busybox and you will be good to go for any rooted app.
Edit: If you get the following error message then go to this post to resolve the issue.
Model ID Incorrect!
Update Failed
Press <POWER> to reboot.

Thanks, man!!!
Just getting oldtimers.....LOL
Downloaded wrong software Sensation Toolkit instead of ONE-X Toolkit.
Now..... Rooted and happy!! Re-installed all my old apps Co-Pilot and stuff through TB. Back in business!!!!!!
Hi Guys, sorry for hijacking.
I am a complete HTC noob, only had the Sensation for a couple of weeks.
I had an Xperia X10 before and the rooting process was so much easier!
Although I've been reading post after post after article after post in order to get up-to-speed, I keep going round in circles because I don't understand what S-Off/unlocked bootloaders/rooting/custom versus stock recovery is in the world of HTC...
Anyway, I'm on 4.0.3 stock ROM and all I want to be able to do is to remove a few pieces of bloatware, install SetCPU and be able to use Titanium Backup.
Can you guys explain to me whether I need to be HTC Dev Unlocked to be able to do all that and whether, because I'm not interested in custom ROMS (and if any creators of custom ROMs are reading this, it's not because I don't want to, I just don't understand enough to feel comfortable with installing them!), do I need to be S-Off and have a custom recovery instead of the stock one (and why??).
Thanks guys. Please go easy on me - I have tried to read as much as possible to understand so I'm not just posting because I'm lazy!
Thanks a lot.

Hello there!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 is an awesome guide that you can read through, you do not need to S-Off if you're going to run on roms with the same firmware (3.32.X) as the stock rom is. I suggest you read through the guide and come back here if you have any further questions
EDIT: You must unlock your bootloader via HTCdev but I've heard that there is an unlock (exploit) that doesn't require this on the way, I can't say for sure thou but here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25993010&postcount=74

Thanks a lot Doof, I appreciate your reply.
To be honest, this was the first place I looked for info, then it transpired that revolutionary wouldn't work with the OTA update to ICS so I held off and did more research. I'm guessing that, I for that part of the guide, revolutionary is working now?

Sadly it doesnt if you have the latest hboot (1.27) which I guess you have since you updated ICS OTA but there is a way to get S-Off http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1611977 using this method, it is a bit tricky but there are guides that explain very well how you do it. I used this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25202517 and it worked out great for me

looking at the date of the post 2011, I would say that it will not do the trick.... Went that way with no results.
When I get home I will edit the post with the link to ONE-X toolkit and some explanation on how I got my ICS rooted and unlocked. Although guide in the reference post is self explanatory and easy to follow.
The thing with ICS is, that it does not except some older CWM recoveries.
To be short.. Will update later.
Thanks Tester, much appreciated.

No Revotionary only supports Hboots up to 1.18.0000, if you are using a ICS ROM you have Hboot 1.21.0000 or higher and can not use Revolutionary. If you use HTC Dev to unlock you can do what you want to, go to here for a good guide. If you want S-off then you will have to use Juopunutbear to S-off, go to here for a guide on it. I recomend S-off but that is up to you as it is your device.

I made yet another post after he asked if Revolutionary would work that it won't and linked him to Joupnout wire trick, there are other things in that guide that can be useful thou.
Also I would recommend using 4EXT recovery.
this workd for me.

Finally got back home.
So... What you need to do is to D/Load ONE-X ToolKit... NOT Sensation ToolKit
ONE-X is here Thanks to Hasoon2000!!!!
Follow the instruction, it will bring you to HTCDEV website, register there and you will get additional set of instructions arranged in very step-by-step way.
Follow those and you'll get your phone unlocked and rooted.
Good luck!!!!
hello,
i am trying to get my htc one mini to S-OFF and to do that, after reading most of the forums in XDA for htc one mini, i was told to use the "revone" file, unfortunately the website revolutionary.io/revone is broke and i cannot find the revone file anywhere on the net. Can any body please upload the file which will be much appreciated and one more question, i have bought my HTC ONE MINI @dubai, which stock rom or RUU or Firmware should i try if in case i have wiped my storage and lost my original OS.
Hi I have it somewhere but it doesn't work anymore. Which ROM do you have and which HBOOT? Are you rooted ?
If you have HBOOT 2.22 and 4.4.2 Android simply flash xXminiWHOOPERxX kernel V6 , then try rumrunner. It worked yesterday for me after whole day of trying with all sorts of methods. Hope that helps.
Thank you , my bad, i managed to work on RUMRUNNER, everything went fine but it seems RUMRUNNER does not work on 4.4.2. My HBOOT is 2.22 and yes i am rooted.
I really appreciate your reply, i stopped looking at XDA because none bothered replying me. I would try xXminiWHOOPERxX Kernel V6 and will update you. Thank you so much. :good:
Also i am not a geek in android, but can you please, if you don't mind, tell me how to flash the kernel? Sorry if i am being Dumb Here

Sorry, typing response for 10 minutes with instructions, then stupid forum decides to sabotage me, really don't want to type all again. You have to flash it through fastboot (adb binaries).
Or rename it to boot.img, put in archive of rom you will flash and replace with current boot.img in archive. If you need any help , i'll try.
Hi, Thank you. I tried downloading all the 3 versions of the kernel and it pissed me off. It was a zip file and when extracted the file was an .exe which led me to viruses in my laptop. i had to format:crying: i tried searching the the whooper kernel v6 but all in vain. i don't want to risk it all again.

Oh man,you never ever open exe file except when you expect it to be exe file. Blue button is to download real kernel. I wish people used more friendly hosting sites tho.. Anyway here you go in the attachment.

No problem, just make sure to post reply if everything went good, so if somebody searchs for it in the future can find this useful.
I can confirm it works however the rumrunner froze on a few occasions but it seemed to pick up from when It stopped.
I can confirm that rumrunner with the "BootV6.img" supplied above worked like a charm on KK 4.4.2, HBoot 2.22. The only downside to revone is that you can't remove the "TAMPERED" on the bootloader, but I can live with that!

I was almost ready to give up on this site. In the dev section it looks like there might not be a single link left that's functional.
Just flashed the kernel and used rumrunner to S-OFF my mini with 2.22 HBOOT.
I almost had a mini heart attack when i started realizing that people might really be buying into newer devices and abandoning older ones at an ever increasing rate. My old HTC Desire made in 2010 lasted me until now and still mostly works with a custom ROM... I hope this mini will last me just as long although that might require opening it up to change the "non removable" battery at some point.
Bottom line, this previously used thing cost me 65eur (+10 for shipping) and it only had very minor scratches. Please don't forget those who recycle that which gets discarded by walking bags of money.
