1.04 has a bug. even if you get an error message when you try to burn a rom from another company, do nothing with your device and run the same update again on your pc. you can update the rom this time.

Hello mj13,I looked around the posts and I could not find any solutions to downgrade my X01HT shipped after Dec from 1.09 to 1.04.Would you please tell me where did you find it or how to finish it?
And ,since downgraded to 1.04 ,does that mean I can unlock my X01HTto use another SIM card using the v2a version unlocker?
Thank you vey much.

yes, already downgraded to 1.04.
Would you mind try to upgrade the rom again? If it doesn't work, please let us know
Hi,pof!Thank you very much for answering my question on the 1.09 to 1.04 topic.But I still got some questions.In the link you gave me it says I can not downgrade my bootloader unless I go to the IMEI something website and pay some dollars.Is that the only way to downgrade my bootloader?
And you told me even if I downgraded my bootloader,I still can not unlock my phone.That means,if I downgraded,I can burn other language rom (like English)but I can not use other company's SIM card.Am I right?
Sorry to bother you.Hava a good day!
Sorry to post it again after giving you a private message.

Yes, because softbank 1.14 radio doesn't allow to be upgraded even if you flash another ROM this radio will be kept in your device.
Ok so I have a little problem with the whole 1.09 -> 1.04 thing.
I have been searching for a couple days or so and gathering some information about it, but I don't think that anyone has had my problem yet. I have a pre-Dec. x01ht, and I stupidly upgraded to 1.09 (don't ask why; I'm still kicking myself). So after trying to downgrade with a couple different versions of the 1.04 provided here with no avail, I found the downgrade_spl file that has been floating around. Each time I keep getting the same problems.
When I active sync with my computer and start the downgrade (upgrade?) process i get past the first preliminary check with the phone and when it jumps to the second check, the phone resets into the tri-color screen for about half a second, and then a white upgrade looking screen. after that the phone checks itself and everything says "ok", but it never resyncs with the computer. The computer stays on the screen that would show a progress bar, but after it hangs there it gets an error screen. i also tried doing everything from the boot mode (the tri-color menu), and that also gets an error. when i try from the boot mode, the both of the progress bars start, but before either go anywhere they both the computer screen comes up with an error in the program. it asks me if i want to recover or view the file, and recover also doesnt work.
Has anyone else had this problem, and if so how did you go about solving this dillema?
guys,
any ideas why i cannot flash any builds other than RUU_Prodigy_3821_382124_026911_TMO_HR_WWE_Ship and Xda_IIs_Upgrade_v140242 onto my CID unlocked G4?
the above 2 builds are packaged as .exe not the romupdate_utility when i try to flash with the rom update utility the handset powers off and back on in boot loader then the utility says unable to detect the device.
flashing in bootloader mode doesn't work either.
I'M USING VISTA BUT I'VE FOLLOWED THE VISTA FLASHING INSTRUCTIONS.
i've tried to use shell tool and it occasionaly seems to work but i either get to stuck in boot loader or the build doesn't seem to be fully installed (missing links or dodgy icons)
any help appreciated
I've seen a cooked rom that had two update utility files, one for each windows version (maybe TNT3.0 ). My advise would be for you to get that utility and use it any time you want to flasha device, ie, make a folder with all the upgrade files in it, including the mentioned one
post results
After shelltool, you may need to hard reset for 2 or 3 times to get the OS running without problem.
Are you sure your G4 is unlocked? Did you paid for imei-check to unlock it or just use lokiwiz/aWizard to unlock? Unless you paid for that, otherwise G4 cannot be unlocked.

Verizo 6800
After following the rom and radio upgrade steps I relocked the phone using Titan relocker as I was instructed. Now I get the rainbow boot screen showing SPL 1.06. Now the phone won't take any other programming on the USB. The best luck I had was using the Sprint rom but that fails at 11% with an wrong provider error. The Verizon rom fails at 0%. I tried relocking again and unlocking but all attempts fail. Any help would be appreciated.

I would like to know WHERE you found the instructions that said to relock the phone after upgrading to a custom rom and radio.
Also please provide more information in your post...are you upgrading from verizon stock? Are you trying to flash a custom 3.0.x rom with the new 3.35.04 radio?
More Info
Upgraded from stock 2.09 to Titan 2.10 then Titan radio 3.27. All Went well then the relocker!
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=17667&highlight=verizon+6800
"Upgrade to 3.35.651.2:
3. If running pre-3.16 code,
>a. run the relocker
(don't worry about getting out of the bootloader - tri-color screen)"
It won't get out of the tri-color bootloader and won't respond to downloads. The computer can't see the phone on the usb port.
You should ignore the name in "re-locker" You don't have to re-lock anything after flashing. Now your best bet is to run olipro's 2.40. It is the new Titan un-locker, then flash your ROM.
The problem you're having is you're trying to flash a 3.0.x rom on your phone and you have a stock bootloader that will only flash/boot verizon signed roms. I'm not sure who wrote that tutorial, but you don't have to relock anything after you unlock (unless you're trying to flash BACK to stock).
Run 2.40-olipro titan unlocker to unlock your phone again so you can run the sprint/htc update. Then cook a verizon 3.0.x rom, or flash the clean rom already cooked.
Wont work now

I do not think he is not going to be able to run 2.4 in from the bootloader screen because it is not signed by VZW. He is going to need a stock VZW RUU, run it in, then he can go forward again.
Right...i kind of assumed he knew this by me posting that 1.06 would only flash/boot signed verizon roms. I guess I shouldnt have assumed.
You need to get the stock verizon rom AND radio...flash them from the bootloader youre in. Once the stock stuff is on there...let the phone boot up. Now you can unlock with 2.4...and run the sprint update once again...and after that...a custom 3.x.x verizon rom.
Do NOT relock after!
aThanks
Where can I find a stock verizon Rom?

HI hope someone can help me with this, i have tried without success to unlock my bootloader, i have updated to hboot 1.02 but when i try to do the fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin it sits at 0percent and doesn't move and no errors, i've tried this with my goldcard in and out of the phone and with cyanogen and b08 roms, also for some reason i can't flash the stock rom so i can get the required update from htc(thinking that's y the unlock code won't go), i've tried getting numerous ruu's and i was getting signature verification fails every time, i tried with windows the exe and also exracted the rom.zip and still no luck, i prefer using linux and adb though and tried numerous ways to get this to work with no success, i've also tried signing a rom.zip and the phone just says no signature, also tried renaming to LEGEIMG.zip and update.zip and just can't flash stock rom, also made a new goldcard thinking the other was bad and did the htcdev for the unlock code with a goldcard and without, also tried the ruu.exe in windows with new said goldcard and i think the other was bad because i get a different error now for reason it can't update my rom(was using the rom i originally rooted with which has sense). it says wrong bootloader version when i try and update, anyone know what i can do, i'm running outta ideas, thanks in advance
I Unlocked my bootloader with HTCdev. You said you tried. What went wrong?
If you have updated your phone to one of the ruus HTC gives you ( execute the exe ), there shouldn't be any problem : the HTC guide is clear and easy. If you have successuffly unlocked the bootloader, now you have to flash the clockwork recovery.
when i go to fastboot it stays on copying at 0 percent with the unlock_code.bin....My phone has root access before i ran the hboot update and still does but i can't flash the new ruu, it won't allow me to, i tried running the htc ruu and it fails with can't update, bootloader version incorrect, i tried with the b-08 rom, i can't get back to stock
Have you tried flashing this? ----> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1497357
If you don't install one of the updates given by HTC, bootloader unlock won't work. If you have the same problems that I had ( my Legend also wasn't rooted ) the RUUs won't install, right? I flashed first this one and then one of the HTC RUUs and after this everything worked perfectly.
nope, i didn't try that one yet, but the thing is my legend was rooted before i tried flashing these htc ruus, i just want my bootloader unlocked, i had cyanogen on it then flashed a rooted one with sense (b08) thinking that would let me update but it didn't, so i'm downloading that one you pointed me to now, i'll try and flash it and let you know how it goes.
When i flash that rom i get a main version is older error when i rename it to LEGEIMG and flash it via fastboot, what can i do now?
I followed Blayo's guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22613990&postcount=62 with my already rooted Legend. Try to follow exactly. You said using a gold card - don't think this is even necessary. At least I did not use one, and it is working perfectly.
After flashing the new bootloader, did you really unlock?
(last step of guide above: follow the instructions on HTCdev from Step 8 to unlock)
Wait, all the RUUs you have to flash before unlocking are HTC's executable files ( .exe ). You have updated your phone executing them, haven't you? After that I just rebooted my phone to fastboot and connected it. I found the unlock code, sent it to HTCdev, received an e-mail with the file to complete unlock and then unlocked. I never used anything like UPDATE.zip or LEGEIMG. I tried following the BlaYo's instructions but they didn't work for me. I just did what HTC said ( easyer and safer ).
hmmmmm

i solved my problem, i sold the phone and bought another legend. LOL, no seriously though, i did sell it and got another but i tried everything and couldn't unlock bootloader, i tried the exe files from htc, tried extracting the zip files, tried fastboot and renaming to LEGEIMG, just couldn't get it unlocked, so i flashed the latest cyanogen 7.2 and sold the darn thing, now i got another and made 50$ in the process as i bought the new one 50$ cheaper and i'm going to go through the htc channels to unlock the bootloader but does anyone know if i'll be able to flash cm7 after i do that?

I have a similar problem with my Legend i had already rooted my legend following this guide http://chrg.zxq.net/htc-legend-root.html. I decided to unlock the bootloader folowing the guide on HTC dev to the letter and it worked fine bootloader unlocked. Only prolem is after rooting the phone again and flashing cm7 the bootloader is now locked again. What to do any ideas id be very greatfull.

What do you mean with 'rooting again'? Once you have unlocked bootloader, you are able to flash a recovery, and then CM, which is rooted. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24102979 for latest Recovery and latest CM7.2 builds
Ok just to update i flashed the HTC dev bin file again and had restore cm7 backup and bootloader is unlocked once again.
got her goin good now, unlocked bootloader with htcdev, fastboot flashed cwm, then i was able to flash cm7.2 and gapps no problem at all, now if we could only s-off the legend???

After unlocking boot loader:
1. Use htcsupertoolv3 to root
2. Install rom manager and titanium backup
3. Run titanium backup. It will ask you to update su. accept (i'm not sure if this step is required, but this is how i done it)
4. Copy recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-legend to your Android folder created during bootloader unlock
5. With your phone on fastboot mode open terminal in your PC android folder and type:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-legend.img
Your phone will go to recovery mode.
6. Reboot your phone in normal mode
7. From now on, each time you want to go into recovery, use rom manager
Done

So for what I have understood from HTCdev, you can do everything similar to S-OFF, with one exception: you cannot unlock a SIM lock.

True, you can't. I'm not sure if flashing a custom rom will unlock it, as my phone sim card was unlocked from very beginning. Probably not?
I was trying to flash my AT&T HTC One M8 to either T-Mobile or Google Play Edition. I rooted, unlocked my bootloader, got S-Off, but my firmware/hboot was outdated (3.16). I tried to flash CM12 instead, and here's where I messed up. I tried to flash the AT&T stock RUU ZIP without relocking the bootloader and now my HBOOT says "Software status: Modified". I'm running CM12, and all RUU exe don't detect my phone. I just want to convert my M8 to the T-Mobile or GPE. Any help is GREATLY appreciated,

The RUU isn't recognizing your phone because you have a non HTC rom on your phone. Just flash one of the various stock roms from this forum and then you can use the RUU. Secondly, you don't have to re-lock your bootloader if you are s-off to run the RUU.

Hi, Since you do have a working device with a rom on it, all you need to do is find a T-Mobile Rom that is compatible with the At&t version. Make sure this is a stock rom because an accidental flash can hard brick your device. Thanks.

AFAIK, the ROM doesn't need to be stock to RUU, only to OTA. There doesn't even need to be a ROM on the device to RUU.
Also, if there was something wrong with the phone's configuration, an error message would have been the result; not failing to connect to the phone.
If the RUU isn't recognizing the device at all, there is probably a fundamental USB connectivity issues. OP should try to :
- Make sure phone is booted into OS, or into bootloader-fastboot mode to RUU. "Regular" bootloader mode or recovery won't work.
- Try another USB cable or port, even another computer if possible (in particular USB 3.0 doesn't play well with RUUs).
- Uninstall and re-install HTC Sync and Drivers.
Also, keep in mind that in order to run an RUU that is different from your version (which is the case for T-Mob RUU or GPE RUU on an AT&T device) you need to change the CID and MID to correspond to the RUU. This won't cause failure to connect, but will cause the RUU to fail with an error message.

The AT&T variant won't support all 3G (HSPA) and 4G (LTE) bands used by T-Mobile if you just flash a T-Mob ROM. You need to install the T-Mob firmware to enable full T-Mob band support; which the RUU does.
Also, the RUU will "fully convert" to the T-Mob or GPE versions; and allow official OTA updates for that version, if that is what the OP is looking for. But the band support is the more important factor.

Not sure what is trying to be conveyed here. No ROMs (stock or custom) meant for the "GSM" versions of the M8 (meaning stay away from Sprint and Verizon specific ROMs) will brick your phone.
Flashing a ROM meant for another device can brick your phone (and may be possible with s-off), but again, that isn't what you stated (although may be what you meant)
Thanks to all.
I ended up figuring it out using the steps below.
•ADB sideload CM12 via TWRP
•Once booted started USB debugging
•Changed the MID to the GPe (using ADB shell)
•Changed CID from CWS__001 to GOOGL001
•Rebooted into bootloader (fastboot oem rebootRUU)
•Found the RUU zip (can't post the link- too new)
•Pushed it to the phone (fastboot flash zip)
•Failed
•Flashed again
•Success
