Downgrading to Gb if patch was used? - HTC Rezound

Hey all.
I understand that i must be in s-off to downgrade.
If all I did was flash CleanRom with a patch, did i actually upgrade? Or can i download the stock GB ruu, rename it to the ph19img and be about my merry way? Then reset to locked like nothing ever happened?
I ask because my Bluetooth didn't work before, and it still doesn't, so i want to take it into the store.
S-on
CleanRom DE 1.4
Kernal: 3.0.16
HBOOT: 2.11.0000
Radio: 0.95.00.118r and 0.95.00.1223r
Build Number: 3.14.605.5
Thanks

Look like you are on gb firmware already. The patch just makes the ics rom work on the old firmware... Your issue just may be with the rom. Try a full wipe and re flash the rom, or try a different rom...
Or just s-off and do whatever you want.

No you didn't upgrade....Lock first, then run gb ruu, (ph98img.zip) then go to store. maybe try bluetooth again, though

[Q] Can i Flash Custom Kernels on Stock ROM?

Hello, i am a newbie in Android so i was wondering if it is possible to flash any custom Kernel on Stock ROM for HTC EVO 3D from Sprint.
I was reading about that this morning but devs do not specify if they are compatible or not. The fact is that i want to flash one of:
*Anthrax Kernel(enables Overclock and USB Host)
*RCMix Kernel(enables Overclock)
In addition i have to mention i have a Rooted EVO via htcdev, and it has hboot 1.50. I downloaded Flash GUI for Flashing Kernels but i am not sure if the kernels mentioned above are compatible with stock ROM. Suggestions are accepted about what is the best Kernel/ROM for my EVO.
Thanks in advance for all your replies.
Aosp Roms get Aosp kernels.
Sense based roms (stock) get sense kernels.
- kernels must be compatible with installed fw radio
(2.08.651.2 & 651.3 have same radio; 2.17.651.5 has new radio & no custom kernels yet b/c kernel source isnt released.)
Some of the 651.5 custom roms (like meanrom) have a few tweaks incorporated with the stock kernel.
So u need to know your fw base to figure out your options.

You're on the newest baseband/radio, so there aren't any custom kernels that are compatible with what you have (yet)

There is a way, but I have no experience with hboot 1.5 so I don't know if you can or not. My guess is if there is a way to downgrade, it would have to be by using an RUU, I'll see if I can help you find an RUU to use.
Note: If you can downgrade via RUU on hboot 1.5, you will lose EVERYTHING. I had to use an RUU to fix some major mistakes I made recently on my phone, and I lost everything, including superuser (i.e. root), but I kept S-OFF
EDIT: You can use an RUU but you have to relock your bootloader to apply the RUU. I'm going off to class now so I can't find the RUU for you now, but a google search for it should give you results. You need the 2.08.651.3 RUU (it should be an EXE file)

So, i think it is better to wait some time, maybe in the future the source code will be available and some kernels for this version appear.

Yes, I'm just waiting as well, I'm perfectly content with the stock kernel on the new baseband. It's just a matter of time before HTC releases their source code and our wonderful devs can get cracking on custom kernels

freeza has built a stock rom with some tweaks.
Thread and DL located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1224659
I'm currently fully updated on the new OTA and running InfectedROM and freezas kernel. This thing cooks.
The kernel is currently locked at 1.2Ghz, but there is a few changes that can be made at the system level to increase that..... I think. I haven't looked into it.

[Q] build# 1.13 to 2.17???

just realised that 1.13 is the ics leak base build.
i'm assuming 2.17 is the gb base build?
thanks, guys...

Yes.! But there is also a SPRINT 1.13 firmware (it was one of the very first one on the 3vo and had hboot 1.4). The new 1.13 is a virgin mobile firmware version
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA
ohhhh...
so, since downgrading i'm probably on the *sprint* 1.13 build since we had to flash the ruu in order to downgrade the hboot.
then, i'll have to ask my original question:
after downgrading i only updated my radio.
before flashing mikvirgin (based on the ics leak) should i have flashed an updated build#?
2.17? although, i think that's gb based, right?
or, can i just leave my base at 1.13 and flash whatever roms i want to?
thanks guys...

Need to update to 2.17.651.5 hboot 1.40

I am looking for the 2.17.651.5 with hboot removed (I dont want to lose hboot 1.4)
I used freeza's aio update from here but My firmware is still 1.13.651.7.
It's been awhile since I was at this point. I just got out of the virgin crapware and still trying to get my phone back to normal! lol
But like I said I do not want to lose my hboot 1.40.
Update I believe I found what I was looking for HERE I am just confused on what version to get odex or deodex not sure what the difference is or if it makes a difference if I am going to flash a rom.
I'm thinking you need to do it again. For whatever reason it didn't take. The aio file is what I've used in the past without problem. The second link you posted is for a full rom... That's not necessary if all you're trying to do is update your radio
Yeah I am looking to update my ROM but not my hboot
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk 2
I think you are ok. I went through the downgrade process and used the all-in-one and am showing my build number as 1.13.652.1. My hboot is 1.4 s-off and I have no issues flashing any Ics or GB Rom.
Sent from my ICS 3VO with Tapatalk 2
1.13 and 2.17 are Rom bases, right now you are on 1.13 Rom with the firmware that came with 2.17. Flash a Rom based on 2.17 and your phone will show 2.17 in settings>about phone>software info. however you can see your pri version and baseband version have changed.

Exactly this. The Rom I am on is based on the VM leak, hence the 1.13. Roms labeled 2.17 are based on the last GB ota. I left my firmware and radios on 2.17 since that is the last official Sprint firmware update, but my Rom is 1.13.

JB HBoot and ICS Global RUU?

Hey everyone, I was just curious if it's safe to flash the ICS global RUU if I'm on the modified JB firmware? I thought I had read about people bricking while flashing back to a stock firmware so that's why I was asking. Do I need to go back to S-ON/stock GB, upgrade from Gingerbread firmware, and re S-OFF?
Edit: My current firmware is the latest modified ICS leak, not the GB version.
You should be good to go. The bricks were from turning the secure flag back on while on a modified hboot
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Xparent SkyBlue Tapatalk 2
I upgraded to 4.03.605.1 (first global leak) and it gives you the 2.27.000 Hboot. After I finished installing, I then flashed the JB Hboot for 3.14.605.5 and it works fine.

if you are s-off and you are flashing the ruu. it will no brick unless you pull the battery when its updating.
make sure you are 60% or higher on battery life.
make sure you back up internal storage, ruu WILL wipe it automatically.
Cool, just wanted to double check. Thanks for the help guys, much appreciated!
You don't need to do the whole RUU if you're s-off, just use the Firmware thread in the dev section, there's already one packaged with the new firmware and the 2.25 Jbear hboot.

[Q] What do you guys recommend I do?

So I'm currently using "CleanROM Professional Edition 4.3" (march 2012) and want to upgrade to a newer/better ROM, such as Infection 2.6, but afraid it will screw my phone up as I haven't messed around with it in over a year:
My current phone details:
Android version: 4.0.3
HTC Sense: 3.6
Kernel: 3.0.16 , baseband 1.22.10.0310r build 3.11.604.22
PRI Version: 1.16_002, 2.07_002
PRL Version: 15223
ERI Version: 5
Phone is S-ON with recovery RA-VIGOR-v3.13
What ROM do you guys recommend I update to from this, and how should I go about doing it? Do I need to update the firmware first, anything special I need to do from my current set up, etc...?

I'm definitely not a "developer guy" but you're probably gonna need to run the Global RUU to get the new radios/hboot and then you should be able to use the current ROMs. Anyone can correct me if I'm wrong. Just like you, I haven't flashed a new ROM in a long time but I did get the "Leaked" Global RUU on my phone.

Did you do S-OFF? I tried flashing Rezound_Global_ICS_4.03.605.2_Full_RUU_PH98IMG but it didn't do anything. I renamed to PH98IMG and rebooted in boot loader, it found PH98IMG and the green progress bar completed, but nothing on my phone changed...

I believe you missing a step... after progress bar completes reboot to bootloader one more time and let it go again. Correct me if i'm wrong.

Personally, I think you should try to:
- RUU back to stock and get all of the latest updates
- achieve S-OFF using everyone's favorite wire trick
- Try out the Neo roms.
Personally, I'm on Tron 2.1, which is Jelly Bean, AOKP and PAC. It's really awesome (although it has some bugs). The Infection ROMs are great too.
I'm scared to mess with all of the HBOOT and radio nonsense. Better to start off with the latest stock, and then flash the ROM only.
You need to re lock bootloader before running RUU. But you can't get the latest Hboot or radios by running an RUU as there is not an RUU out yet.
