downgrade from 3.33 to 3.32 firmware using RUU

I just want to downgrade from 3.33 to 3.32 because it is causing me touchscreen issues.
When i try to install 3.32 RUU i get the error "Wrong Bootloader Version"
My present RUU is 3.33.401.6 Radio_11.76A.3504.00U_11.24A.3504.31
My HBOOT Version is 1.27
My device is all STOCK and unrooted

if SON ..you cant downgrade even by using a RUU

Hi, I have rooted s-off Hboot 1.27.1100 Sensation 3.6 ARHD 6.7.2 FW3.33 but i want to go back to ARHD 6.6.7 because i feel it was working better for me.
I want to also downgrade the firmware to 3.32 so i can flash the RAM+SD Hack Sense 3.6 3.32.zip because it made such a huge difference!
and this flash doesn't work on 3.33, it just makes the ph boot-loop.
I've tried manually editing that hack for 3.33 following these instructions (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1699591) with build.prop edit, uploading services.jar and then i got stuck at editing init.qcom.post_boot.sh
I just couldn't quite understand where to add the additional lines so i'm happy to just go back to what worked.
I haven't been able to find some clear instructions on downgrading this firmware but after searching it seemed all i needed was s-off and to just flash the 3.32 firmware.
So far i've superwiped, flashed 3.32 firmware and flashed ARHD 6.6.7 but once the ph is up and running, under settings/about ph, the firmware is still 3.33.
Any suggestions plz?

Hi,
I am not sure where you got your 3.32 firmware,but try using THIS ONE
Check the md5 checksum before flashing.
Make sure it completes.
It will say update complete.

I'm looking at reverting my Sensation from ARHD to a stock ROM just to check a few issues I'm having with a track recording app. Can I use this and still be able to flash back to the latest ARHD ROM after I have confirmed the app is faulty?

if you are S-OFF yes you can
flash first the appropriate fw for the stock rom and then flash the rom
for reverting back to ARHD ROM: just flash again the appropriate fw and then ARHD ROM
Check the md5 checksum before flashing
don't forget to rename the zip file as PG58IMG.zip

Do i just flash it as is and reboot the ph or do i need to superwipe then flash firmware and 6.6.7 rom again?

maybe you have been confused a little bit
by using a ruu.exe you are returning to the completely stock situation of your device.no need the PG58IMG.zip file
but you can flash the rooted stock ics rom after flashing the PG58IMG.zip
i hope you understood what i mean

Ok, so would another option be to use ruu to go back to complete stock (does this rewind hboot also and s-on?) and then start again or it doesn't work like that?

Hi,
That does not actually display the firmware.
Rather,it shows the the base of the ROM you are using.
Have you flashed the new ROM yet?
If you want to see the actual firmware version,use fastboot command:

fastboot getvar version-main

Tmobile US OTA 2.3.5 update broke wifi on Custom Rom

I'm gonna start this thread to find trouble shoot what might cause the problem after the update.
So what been update after on this OTA?
Hboot - 1.14.0004
Radio - 1.08ts.50.02.16_10.08e.50.04L
Build - 2.35
The problem is you can't get wifi to work on any rom (Viper,Axiom,CM10,ASOP,MIUI). The only rom that wifi works is Custom rom Trickdroid 7.0 US or stock 2.35, since it base on nanoid backup of one user. Keep display connect and switch of and on.
Any inputs will helps..I'm currently running Viper Rom without WIFI LOL.
I post logcat while on Viper Rom for DEV to take a look.

There is already a fix for this, go read it ask on Trickdroid TmoUs thread.

none of it works. I know some members suffered from this after new OTA, but they're MIA.
I have wifi if I'm on Trickdroid 7.0, but not on other roms. Finding another solutions for it..

I'm understanding it as if you only have wifi if your on a 2.35 build. If that's the case, it's more than likely firmware related. Only way to rid yourself off that firmware is to run an RUU and only 2.21 and 2.31 have HBOOT 1.14 that I know of.

Hello,
I think the only way to get wifi on Viper for you would be to flash the 2.31 ruu which has the same hboot. You will need to change your CID first. Here is a thread that might http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1674202. I just dont know if it will cause any problems with other roms or with the stock if you go back. If the 2.35 ruu gets released you could undo it but not till then.

Yeah you can't go backwards because of HBOOT, your only options are 2.21 & 2.31 and they fall because you're not SUPERCID(debrand phone).

It seems to me that the link from the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1694012, ATT 2.20 to revert back to stock cm10: http://d-h.st/R92 is actually for Telstra 2.40 (0.20os.32.09.15_10.113.32.28L) ?

So if I want to get back to the original CM radio without reflashing the rom again which file should I use, I am on ATT?
I tried the one from the link i posted but it doesn't really work for me.

Did you go into about> baseband? If it doesn't match that of 2.20, then the op probably accidently uploaded or misnamed the wrong file. But I think it should be correct.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

Yeah I was looking at that and after I flashing the ATT 2.20 radio from the link I am still seeing the one, ATT 3.18, which I flashed earlier.
I looked the update-script from the zip, EVITA_ATT_2.20_for CM10.zip, and it is actually stated "Lets flash the HTC ONE X(EVITA) Telstra 2.40 (0.20os.32.09.15_10.113.32.28L) for CM10" so I guess that is not the correct file but I don't have the permission to comment on the post therefore i was trying to confirm here to see if i was using the same file.
thanks for the reply...

[Q] Upgrade TELUS HoX to newest firmware

I've been looking and have found that there is no RUU for the 3.17 Telus update, only OTA zips.
I would like to upgrade my phone to the newest firmware, and then re-unlock, and restore my rom from a nandroid backup.
Is there anyway that I can do this? Should I run the AT&T RUU and then proceed to unlock the normal way?
I am s-off before anyone yells at me.

What I did is ruu to ics, then check for updates. I have seen some 3.17 ota repack downloads but I prefer direct from the source.
Then installed twrp 2.3.x then downgraded touchscreen firmware to run AOSP. Though you don't need to do that unless you want to run AOSP.
Telus sucks at releasing RUUs, but the network here isn't as Saturated as some of the other guys

I forgot to add, there is no need to re-unlock as there's no need to re-lock to RUU with S-OFF. Just keep it unlocked and then flash TWRP after. nice and easy. (I have done this myself so I am 100% positive)

You need s-off first. But you'll need to flash a ROM with an insecure kernel for s-off to work. One of the 4.1 ROMs should be fine.
Sent from my Evita.

No. OTA can only be flashed with stock recovery and you must come from EXACTLY the ROM/firmware the OTA was to officially update from.
You also can not flash firmware.zip from CWM or TWRP but instead use rebootRUU mode.
From recovery depending on hboot and s-off status you may be able to change the radio and boot image. You should assume CWM and TWRP is only to replace /system, everything else has a different procedure.

I don't even know why you think you need to install the 3.18 OTA anyway. It isn't even the firmware you need. You will still need to get s-off so you can update your firmware to the correct version anyway. You're just creating more work for yourself. I did tell you that but you didn't listen to that either.
