can i downgrade 2.1 do 1.5?

can i downgrade 2.1 do 1.5?
and where to find 1.5 android os
To download from a 2.1 custom rom to a stock 1.5 rom simply download a new rom here:
http://www.htc.com/uk/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=283&act=sd&cat=all
If your on a generic phone choose the last one in the list. You will be asked to input your serial number, this is to ensure you get the right rom for your phone.
This will revert your phone back to the Sep 11 2009 update (1.5).

you can't and you lost the root
i wait the official eclair rotted by our chefs
ok...tks...will wait for the rooters to crack it open
It may be a long wait or never that the bootloader gets unlocked on the 2.1 RUU.
HTC have really tried to lock that rom down. Once you have root access its always best to stick to custom roms, the warning was on this site for months now.
I just revert my hero from 2.1 update 1 to stoc 1.5 hero UK JUSt by flashing with the old stock rom.
this is nice!

Downgrade to Stock to Upgrade to ICS?

Hello friends at XDA,
I'm currently own a EU Razr. I upgraded it a couple of months ago to a Gummy ICS release. It works pretty good, sans Camcorder.
But now i would like to upgrade to the oficial Moto ICS (from what i read, it'll be releasing soon).
I did make a backup using Clockwork of my stock Motorola.
Do i need to downgrade to be able to upgrade? Should I?
Can i use my nandroid backup simply my applying it via Clockwork Recovery?
This is the info on the "About":

RUU and Bluetooth

Hey all,
I unlocked and flashed to a custom rom for the first time ever (Clean Rom DE) without too much difficulty thanks to all the information here.
I did this because bluetooth was not working on the stock phone. I could turn it on and off, but it fails to find the device. I was hoping that ICS would fix this issue.
Long story short, it did not.
So, after digging through the forums, I've discovered that I am running ICS on GB firmware and I assume radios, as I used the patch method of flashing CleanRom.
Will flashing to the current hboot and radio fix the bluetooth problem?
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
Thank you!

[Q] How to update after being on CleanRom Pro 4.3

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...?

What's the issue with the current rom you have? Do you want to stick to Sense? I would suggest updating the firmware if you go to a more current rom. Check out the Dev sections for current roms to pick from.

Issue with my current ROM is it's a little unstable, has bad bluetooth and it crashes once every other day at random times. And would like to try a ROM with Jelly Bean OS.
What do I need to do to get my current set up to S-OFF, do I have do a complete factory reset and go back to the everything original (is that even possible after I unlocked the bootloader)? Or can I just flash the stock recovery (is that what stock RUU means?)?
And then will JuopunutBear S-OFF work?

You don't need to be s-off to install roms, there's just some extra steps in flashing the kernel.
Also I see you have duplicate posts with the same question, I'd close one if you can...

[Q] Need help in regards to Skydragon Rom

Hi All,
I have S-Offed and Unlocked the device and successfully been able to run Skydragon 9.1 with Firmware 2.22.1540.3 by using clean Install, I tried upgrading to Skydragon v 15.0 with Base 2.22.1540.4 Dev Edition. It was not at all stable on my AT&T device and hence I Reinstalled V9.1 Again .
Now I want to Install V18.0 on At&t Htc M8 . Will it be stable or not?
Secondly as V18 is based on 3.28.401.6 WWE do I need to do something special first os just follow the regular steps?
Like after download the V18.0 put it into sd card and clean swipe M8 and reinstall it from SD?
Is is ok if I follow above steps?
Please replay ASAP. Need Urgent help
First off no need to double post,you will not be able to run any 4.4.4 roms without first updating the firmware accordingly
The firmware won't flash through recovery. It flashes through fastboot. Just head over to skulldreamz thread,and pick up 3.28.401.6,rename to 0P6BIMG. Reboot into bootloader,select hboot and presto...you have the required firmware for SD v18....
@jxcorex28
Yes you can flash a 4.4.4 ROM before updating the firmware but it's been said it will boot slow and run slow.I didn't have any issues flashing Skydragon 4.4.4 running 1.58
@tranquil.rb
If you've already flashed the ROM than you can flashed the firmware update anytime you like following the procedure mentioned by "jxcorex28" without disrupting the ROM.
I'm running Skydragon 4.4.4 and have updated to the 3.28.401.6 on my US AT&T HTC ONE M8
