Hi...
Is there a chance to downgrade an HTC Thunderbolt 4G from Gingerbread to Froyo? (2.11.605.9 to any 1.xx) withour ROOT?
Is there a chance t brick my Thunderbolt if I tried??
Thanks for any advice
No. To flash a rom you need s-off. To keep a froyo rom from updating you need a custom froyo rom with root.

Thanks a lot
So, If I have the 2.11.605.9 I can't return my Thunderbolt to any 1.xx?
Even if I go rooted?
Sure you can. Once rooted, flash the FroYo radios, then the FroYo ROM.

Im stuck on the downgrading I download the .zip file and check it with MD5 and is good just when I trie to do it the phone start to scan HBOOT and at the end appears not file found...wrong... or something like that very quick to see it but don't let me press up or down volume keys since never appear that option....
What can I do for make that downgrade!!?? Because the .9 can't be rooted as long as I now
Make sure the file is named correctly, and NOT in a folder on your sd card.
Also, make certain you have 40%+ of battery and that sd is FAT32 format.

Is it as easy as flashing the backup in cwm or do I have to flash the stock radio in recovery 1st?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Depends on which froyo backup you have. If it's one of the newer froyo builds then it's compatible with the newest radios. If it's an older froyo build then you have to go back to the old radios.
It's stock rooted. 2.2.1

Your question was answered.. but I think you didn't quite follow. Like one of the posters said.. if your Froyo Backup is that of a NEWER Froyo backup (MR2 Froyo software no. 1.66.xx).. then yes.. you can restore GB & Froyo Backups back and forth without any issue since they both work on the same radio.
If your Froyo is older.. then you'd have to flash the appropriate radios every time you restore.
That's why I posted which backups I have... I'm not too sure about them... The one is the latest official software. Is that what you mean by newer froyo software?

Your not going to hurt anything. If you want to restore your Froyo backup go ahead. If it boots up and dosent have service then its an older build and you will need to flash a older radio. This one should work.

If that radio dosent work or you would like to see the thread it came from it is:

Edit: From your post eariler, you flash radios in HBOOT, rename the radio file to PG05IMG.zip and place in the root of your sd card. Boot into HBOOT (phone off, hold volume down and power) phone will flash the radio. The ROMS are flashed in recovery.
Edit2: After you are done flashing the radio file, after the phone reboots, delete or rename the radio file so it dosent try to reflash the next time you go into HBOOT. ok im done editing now.

Ah sorry I didn't get back to the thread sooner. It makes sense that if it was an older froyo build you'd need the old radios. There were only a small handful of ROM's for the new radios and they came out pretty recently.
I need help to get WiFi to work on ny EVO3D. I unlocked htc bootloader. Then rooted installed pcmix kernal and now no WiFi or 4g. Can anyone tell me how to fix. Please help I will pay for correct answer

Did you try reverting back to the stock kernel and checking if that worked?

That kernel isn't for the 2.3.4 update. It's for 2.3.3. You need to flash the stock kernel or reflash your ROM.

That is for the 2.08 OTA update. Download an odexed or de-odexed ROM and then place in on your phone's SD card. Turn on the phone, take out the battery, put it back in and hold volume down and the power button. When you are in the HBOOT menu, use the volume button to scroll down to recovery and press power to select it. There will be an option to flash a ROM from somewhere there and just choose the ROM from your SD card and flash it.

Depends, did you take the OTA or did you install a custom rom to get to 2.3.4. If you took the OTA and you weren't rooted before I don't know if you can go back. The HTC unlocker method of rooting will not let you install a kernel so I don't believe you will be able to flash a 2.3.3 rom since it will require an compatible kernel.
If your on 2.3.4 taking the ota then there is no way to go back to 2.3.3

Ok, I'm no pro but ill try to help a little. I think if you relock you'll still be on the ROM you were on before you relocked, and you don't need to be rooted to run an ruu. After you run the ruu, you won't be rooted and it will be a stock ROM.
thanks, do I need to have the stock ruu on the sd prior to relocking?

Ive never run an ruu, but if I did, this is what is do. Download the ruu.EXE, not the ruu.zip, to my computer. Then plug in my phone, then relock, then run the ruu.exe from the comp. I don't think it needs to be on the SD card. If I'm wrong, I'm sure ill be corrected by someone.

See the guide/flashing notes in my signature for links/info to run either the Ruu .exe or .zip.

I just did mine.
Adb to bootloader
Flash stock recovery
Oem lock
Ruu.exe
Update
Unlock
Flash cwm or twrp
Push su
Flash ROM of choice
Relatively simple, sorry I am half asleep on my phone or I would have greater detail but that's the steps I've used 2x

I tried this method on a custom ROM without success but i had a rooted stock rom at hand so i preferred to flash that ROM to apply the method.
However I think it could work if the ControlBear program finds the paths it expects on the filesystem.
In particular it looks for /system/bin/su or /system/xbin/su.
So maybe, after a nandroid backup, you can proceed trying the method on the rom as is and, if ControlBear complains, move the programs it wants in the right path.
I think that proceeding in this way can't harm your phone, however, haven't tried this solution myself I don't know for sure.
thanks man, im downloading a stock rooted pg file right now, i just rename it and put it on sd card and reboot to bootloader?

Really, what is wrong with flashing a stock GB rooted rom first?
Is it too much trouble?
I think screwing up your phone and having regrets is even worse that the extra time it takes to do it right.
