Hey xda just wondering if I can do the wire trick on a custom Rom, I'm on Mean Rom ICS...it says to be on a stock rooted though. Has anyone done this on a custom?
Thanks

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.

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.

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

Most important updates are newest firmware (top choice) from here http://themikmik.com/showthread.php...T-1-05-11-0606&p=220556&viewfull=1#post220556
Rename to PJ75IMG.zip, put on root of ext sd card, boot to bootloader to flash...remove/move file from ext sd card root so it won't run again next time.
Newest kernel is not in this firmware update...get modded version here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1700251 which is recovery flashable or stock here http://themikmik.com/showthread.php...T-1-05-11-0606&p=241703&viewfull=1#post241703 which will need to be done same way as full firmware update...bootloader.

This deserves more than a thanks button. I really appreciate the time you took putting this together.
Coming from gingerbread, I'm having a rough time finding things. Verified the bootloader version, just couldn't find radio version to verify update.

my phone is rooted and i just put the stock rom on it (Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_2.17.651.5_odex.zip) after having a different rom my question is when ICS update comes in 2 weeks (for sprint users in the usa) will the update work and be applied? or will i just get an error?
I believe you will also have to relock your bootloader and install the stock ruu which puts the stock recovery on.
I recommend that you wait until a dev comes out with a custom based off the ota. It will be more awesome.

That Sucks is there any way I could go back to stock stock so I can update threw HTC when released
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
NEVER EVER take an update when you are rooted. Every single guide to rooting tells you this.
There is no need to relock to take the update when it comes out. Just wait about an hour, and someone on here will have a flashable version of the stock rooted rom. Flash it like any other rom, simple as that, no need to worry about bricking.
Well I don't really care about it not being rooted any more

Just find the stock RUU for your phone.
Depending on whether your CDMA or GSM and what carrier.
It shouldn't be hard. Just use the search.
Then follow the instructions to flash it, make sure you have the stock HTC recovery and relock the bootloader.
Your phone will be stock!

Ah, no problem, you should be fine.
When flashing the stock RUU, if done properly, you should automatically get the stock recovery.

So after flashing aosp Rom I can't seem to flash anything other than sense 3.6 roms. Why I try I get a constant booting. I'm s-on and also I've noticed the roms with kernel zip built in. The PH98IMG doesn't install on ad card. But zips flashed in recovery do. Also bootfast isn't working either, even tho phone is recognized by computer. Any help would be appreciated on this thanks in advance.

if you can't get to fastboot then you have the zip from another file on there. delete that then in order to get that certain rom to work you have to extract the roms boot.img and fastboot flash on pc.

Personally I don't know if that would help, well....actually I don't see why it wouldn't cuz the s-off process will wipe everything.. I'd say do it and flash somethin fresh, don't nandroid after.. try a sense 4 Rom fresh.. if it still doesn't go id try flashjg another aosp Rom that is known not to cause this problem your havig, then try flashing s4 again.. I'm really curious as to why this is happening.. I'm not sure if any of this would help but these are the steps I personally would take to try and trouble shoot..

Crazy is, the problem seems to be something to do with kernels. I can only flash one all others even funky kernel with install thru fastboot, but the out come is the same. Continuous booting. At this point I don't see S-_OFF will fix the problem either. I ruued twice factory reset and used Scott's ten wipe and clean installs only to in up with the same out come.
