So in all my flashing, since I got this phone two days go, I tried to get BAMF ICS build to work and it was a no go for me.
But my question is in all of it I upgraded it to like version 3.xx or something like that....it wont let me downgrade saying 'main version is older'
I have a 2.3 build on now and its running....but I thought I needed to back it back down to work best.....but how do you get it to force an older PG98IMG on?
I've tried the nifty little automated tool
Flashing manually
Flashing via the comp
Nothing seems to push it on
Thoughts?

Check the development forum. In the stickies section under HTC misc tool. Or flash a Rom that resets the mainver. Most of them do now.

It will make the change in hboot, allowing earlier versions to flash.

I get a vdm client quits when i try to update my prl or profile. Can anybody help? First happend on clean rom 2.5 so i flashed viper 1.3 and still have the problem.

If you haven't already try doing a clean install of whatever ROM you decide to stick with. Then, try running the updates before any titanium backups or anything like that. Also, are you on HBOOT 1.5,4, or 3? Are you using Rev's method of root or HTC's? If HTC make sure you're using the fast boot method when flashing the ROMs as to have a matching kernel along with them. Hope something here helps.
Maybe it is titanium backup. Thats the only things that have changed since the problem started.

Oh and, for future reference, this thread should have been posted in the q & a section. Letting you know lest you get flamed in the future.
Thanks. This seems like the other 200 questions on general, so i guess ill never understand what goes where.

I assume there are only two right now correct? How do you check which version you have?

Was this a really dumb question or nobody knows?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
It's pretty much a matter of knowing what you flash before you flash it. If you've never flashed ICS, you're on GB bootloaders. If you flashed ICS you have ICS bootloaders. What does it matter anyways?

What i have read when you flash ics, does not change your bootloader, i have had no problems going back to gb

You are wrong.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
Not entirely... Flashing ics in a cwm zip does not flash boots. At all.
And the boots in the Odin flash dint seem to be any different than the gingerbread ones.
It's not like on some previous Samsung devices jumping from Froyo to gingerbread, where you HAD to upgrade boots or recovery was inaccessible
Oops. My bad. I thought I had read that the ICS Odin did change them. Sorry all.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
I'm pretty sure that Odin the first leak changed the bootloader, but the cwm version did not, so the people who jumped the gun with the initial leak had to revert to stock and redo the cwm and root process before flashing the cwm leak. This scenario caused most of the confusion a are still experiencing with all these different suggestions for the so called proper wiping procedure. You'll notice several different formats stemming from the initial Odin/exe vs cwm versions. Some people say"I had to do this x amount of times" and others say"I had to do this z amount of times in this order"... I have literally read almost every single post in this forum(general,Q&A,accessories,Dev, not so much themes) in preparation to mod my note without fail. In my opinion, people are being very lazy about the amount of research they should be doing before modding their phone. This lack of initiative causes confusion and repetitive Q&A's.

Hello,
Well as the title says, i been having gps locking problems when i try to use Google maps.
I am currently running Venosaur rom 3.2.0 with the 5/7 leaked firmware.
Does anyone know a way to fix this or if it's related to the leak, rom, or just gMaps?
Thank You

Could be radio installation glitch.
Try HTC Re-Lock with fastboot, then name
the Android Police 3.14 zip "PH98IMG.zip"
and run it all the way thru twice.
Do a couple of factory re-sets after that, and your
radio issues ought be be cleared up.
I really need to be brought up to speed on HTC development. I'm coming from a Motorola Droid x2 and I thought development would be the same but its totally different. I don't even know what the hell s-on or s-off means. I'm going to be receiving 2 new rezounds for my wife and I and I'm going to need to get them rooted, updated to ics, and new roms flashed on them. My Droids bootloader was locked down so our devs just worked around the kernel. Anyone know of any tutorials or anything that can help me out and bring me up to speed on the lingo and what (if anything) I should not do with these phones? Also, looks like they are being shipped to me running 2.3.4 which needs to go! Thanks!

He is right but this one isn't stickied and should be. Good place to start but just search before asking questions as you are most likely not the first to have that problem.

Story, one more question from the FNG, is there really that much of a benefit to wait for the official ics to be released? I'm getting the new phones today or tomorrow and I'm somewhat impatient. I can't stand bloatware. Sorry if I'm asking obvious questions but I know once I root and install ics firmware I can't go back if there is a release. Thanks.

You can go back if you're S-OFF with a RUU.
For the time being, you can flash a few different ICS leaks which are close to the official OTA but that's the beauty of modding our phones, you can even stay on Gingerbread and flash ICS ROMs and run fine with a patch as well.
Having problems with s-off. Using controlbear but everytime I attempt to begin program it says connect device and install drivers. Thi is very frustrating. Would like to actually get to the wire trick

Sure you have installed the HTC Sync drivers, and gone through the whole HTC Dev Unlock process properly? And make sure the option for USB debugging is on in the ROMs settings, plus Fast Boot is off. Check basic cabling and whatnot first too of course. Try a clean run on another PC if all else fails.
Thanks for the help!

Okay, so, I pretty much have everything set up perfect except does anyone know how to change boot animation? Running clean rom dev edition and when I use rom toolbox to change and install new animation then reboot, it just shows the regular clean rom boot animation so the change isn't sticking obviously. Thanks

As title states. The update yet again breaks tom flashing and causes it to fail. It's still in the updater binary as well. Only Rom that flashes now is the Sense 5 port
Just an fyi to everyone out there.

Agreed. Amon Ra recovery was always stable and wiped well . The biggest problem I remember about Ra recovery was screen tearing.

You guys are lucky. I can only get the sense 5 to flash. And restore my backup of it. Everything else will start flashing then fails around halfway. Saying there is an error in the updater-binary

Works great for me. Haven't had a single error with anything.
Try downgrading to 2.4.4.0 and then back to 2.5

I have the same issue, been trying to flash aosp roms after upgraded twrp and restored my viper nandroid coming from sense 5, for som reason everything fails with status error 7 in twrp, downgraded to 2.3.1 then 2.4.4 and back to 2.5 and downloaded 5 different roms with the same exact result, I don't know what was the trouble maker twrp or sense 5, I've posted recovery logs in the twrp thread but nobody look at those... Very frustrating...
Reflashed recovery and all is well.
