Hello all,
I was testing out maximusHD rom and instealed the new firmware and hboot as instructed.
The rom works okay but I couldn't get wifi calling to work on it so I wanted to install UnKnown's rom again and want to go back the the older 2.15 based firmware.
How can I do that?
Is there just a firmware that I can flash with it like the one that was included for maximus rom or would I need to install the stock RUU and unlock my bootloader again?
I am already S-OFF and unlocked right now.

Had The Same Problem
I also wanted to downgrade from hboot 2.16 to 2.15. It was solved here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2573896
Will that fix all the permissions then too?
I am thinking of flashing back an older rom that was based on a 3.x firmware and when I tried this one with the 3.x firmware wifi wouldn't work among other things.
I suspect without the partitions being fixed that would happen again no?

another way back to 2.15 without loosing s-off??

Hi guys, where can i get the old firmware? I flashed the new firmware to install the new ICS 4.0.3 Sense rom. I didn't like it, so i restored my old ROM. And now i keep getting random reboots which i never get before.
I'm on stock XE rom after flashing new firmware and no problems.

I'm on Miui.us latest version.
Try downloading the orgional rom for your phone and flashing it using the ruu exe file. This will restore the phone back to the orgional bootloader and radio and rom!
Can i just flash the PG58IMG.zip from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300

When we flash the RUU...does it remove Root? I installed a custom ICS ROM to try but didn't like it, so I did a NAND restore, but I think the firmware was still updated to the one that was needed to do the ICS, and I find the battery is draining quickly. So I would like to revert back to where it was.
I had though a NAND restore will restore everything including the HBOOT version and the radio...but guess not? So should I just do a RUU thing then?
Thanks

I think the pd58img ur referring to is for CWM not the firmware or radio which is what ur looking for. If you want complete retail stock then find the gingerbread 2.3.4 RUU. If ur looking for 2.3.4/5 customer roms the just flash the rom u want. GB works fine with its firmware. Backwards compatible.
The situation have been getting worse and worse everyday. Now, I couldn't even use my phone for 2 minutes without it rebooting itself. I have tried different ROMs with the same result. And i have already flashed the latest T-mobile firmware which i got from this thread.
And I'm sure its the firmware that's causing the problem. Because the first time booting into android after flashing the ICS firmware, the phone froze during the boot screen.
I'm running
HBOOT- 1.23.0000
RADIO- 10.11.9007.15_M

Stock rooted 2.2, hboot 1.14, bootloader unlocked, S-Off, TWRP 2.3.3
I'm going to update to a newer ROM (Scott's CleanROM maybe, I like Sense) and I'd like to get the latest firmware and it seems that the easiest way to do that is to just run an RUU once rather than flashing multiple zips.
I've not run an RUU before so I'm a bit unclear what it does. I know it returns the phone to "stock" but some of the ancillary details aren't clear. Will it relock my bootloader? (Do I need to relock it before running the RUU?) Will it overwrite my recovery?
Should I run the latest RUU (3.18) before flashing a new ROM to get the lasted radios and other firmware? Or should I worry about that stuff after a new ROM? If I don't update the firmware and just flash a 4.1/4.2 ROM will that cause issues or instability?
No you don't need to relock sence you are s-off yes it will overwrite your recovery so after it is done you will need to fastboot a recovery with s-off you can run any ruu but I would recommend the newest one if you are going to run jb roms but you will need to downgrade your touchscreen firmware if you use aosp roms and older version of twrp there is a thread for that in original development

Hi guys
How can I Downgrade my hboot from 2.15 to 1.14
I've got ota jb.
now i'm using viper 1.2.1 custom rom
and have: unlocked,rooted,supercid,,cwm,
I want to install ruu but first i must s-0ff......i tried to s-off but due to my hboot version s-off method didnt work
by the way I tried facepalm s-off method
I'm not sure you can now. I've seen a few people mention in the forums that if you didn't S off before doing the OTA, you'll have to wait for a new method as the exploit was patched. I could be wrong, check the S off thread.

You should be able to s off with 2.15 bootloader. I have done it no problems. Go through the s off process step by step, and for some reason it can matter what sort of ROM you have before going s off. So for example, try flashing the JB version of Viper, and then do S-Off (or one of the custom sense stock roms, ie latest t mobile, etc).
Hello,
i'm having a lot of trouble with the viper made rom ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2667758). I'm new here, so i cannot post it there.
My problems began when i try to install the updates. I have installed the original rom version 3.0.0. i get the OTA message, but when i try to install it in recovery, the phone can't mount the sd card, and the installation doesn't continu. I tried to do it manually (using the download link i found in one of the posts) and that seemed to work.
Then i got another OTA notification, to upgrade to version 3.1.0, but when i tried to boot after the installation, i couldn't enter my sim pincode, and when i reboot, the phone keeps looping. I have to install the original rom twice (once with and one time without wiping) before the ROM boots normally.
What am i doing wrong?
i'm on Hboot 1.25 and radio:1.15.50.05.29
I'm S-on (RL)
It seems that viper made a fll rom, with the updates included.
Wrong Hboot?

I'm not sure but i think it starts with your Hboot, maybe one of the older members can verify, but according to the rom it requires Hboot version 2.15 or 2.16.
I am in the process of updating my Hboot by downloading and flashing the RUU as well as achieving S-OFF status

You need to update hboot first
2.15 is most compatible i suppose

Question. Is there a way for me to upgrade the hboot without the ruu wiping everything? Or will I just have to make a backup. I plan to go s-off before upgrading the hboot.

If you're S-OFF ist possible I think
No, you don't need to update the hboot. I am on 1.06 and Viper works fine...in fact any ROM works fine for me but that's another story. The updated firmware (2.13 or 2.15) is required only for Android 4.4.x KitKat due to a check present in the updater-script. There's no such check nor requirement for previous Android versions and Viper 3.x is based on Android 4.2.2
The problems first could come from not being S-Off...this makes impossible to flash the kernel from recovery so any OTA that has a kernel is not flashed properly. I remember that 3.1.0 has also a full ROM ZIP, maybe is good if you flash that one from recovery and flash the kernel after that in fastboot. Also it could matter the recovery you're using, I would recommend latest TWRP

In the viper rom forum post it says ROM firmware required hboot 2.15/2.16.. Am I to j just ignore tha? Or is it that it is only required that hboot (2.15/2.16) if you are s-on and s-off can do whatever you like? Lol
You need hboot 2.16 for Radio 1.20
And to Flash hboot 2.16 you will need S-OFF

Actually I'm on hboot 2.15 with Radio 1.20.XX
I know this doesn't help... just saying..
To contribute smth. To get the most out of the Viper 3 Rom, everyone should upgrade their Radio to 1.20.XX. And this is actually why you need to S-OFF.
Hey guys I've looked around and I just can't seem to find what I'm looking for, does the hboot version matter? I am on 1.14, but the phone is still s-on , I would like to flash 4.4 roms but I wanted to know if I should ruu to the newer hboot and start from there.
Thanks

Most of roms are usable on 2.15 hboot and lower (which comes with last ruu), so why not give it a try with your actual hboot ?
I would say you to update your hboot but since it wipes sdcard it's quite annoying
What you can do is make a backup and then try the rom you want, if you notice any issue, restore your backup or update through latest ruu.
For some reasons you'll probably need to manually update the radio to 1.20 or 1.35 (I don't recommend this last one since I had random reboots with it), but you need to s-off. I you do, I advise you to use rumrunner.

If he's on 1.14 he can't flash a KK ROM unless he's not modifying the updater-script in the ROM zip. The check there gives an error if someone tries to flash a KK ROM on a hboot other than 2.13.0000, 2.13.4444 or 2.15.0000
