Hello,
I'm inquiring about the possibility of downgrading a V10 (Verizon variant) from 6.0 to 5.1.1. After looking online, it seems as if one side says "yes" and another side says "no". I'm hoping if someone here would be able to shed some light on the possibility and give a definite answer.
Thanks in advanced.

I never seen any post that said yes. Ive seen a few people tried and its a no go. Once you are on mm. You are stuck on mm. I been looking for a downgrade (im still on lp) to help you guys to downgrade. But no such thing exist at this time. But if one comes out. Im sure you will know. Xda is a good place to get your answers. Sorry to break the bad news. If you are on lp. Stay on it. If not sorry to hear

Hi, I’m Christina, and I’ll be glad to assist you today. I understand how important it is for your device to function properly. HTC does not support leaked versions of the ROMS because of this we are unsure whether you will be able to install the new version of the ROM. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Thank you for contacting HTC America Technical Support.
I hate how stupid HTC reps think people are. I sent three emails to finally get a somewhat decent response.
Now that it is quite humerous.... Thank you for that, I needed a laugh. BTW, why are you so worried about getting the OTA? The leaked v3 is very identical to the OTA.... just download that instead...

The ota wouldn't get you root anyway. The hboot image isn't updated by the ota so you would still be in the exact same spot you are right now.

haha like i mean see if anything new comes up by the time i get around to doing whatever i want to my phone. maybe if im patient then something bigger will happen
Well, the only development to come to the eris for a while is going to be new roms. root for leakers is still not here yet, and from what ive seen wont be for a bit. We already have root. and the Eris Master App makes it super simple. just get a new phone and root it. with root, you can install roms that have OTA included, plus better themes, and can do a lot more than with just 1.5 or 2.1 non root.
Just curious, how many developers are working on root for leakers?
According to VZW support's twitter account (http://twitter.com/vzwsupport), "@jfkerekes Yes, leakers should receive the OTA by 5/24. Manual download is not available. *NK"

Verizon reps are stupid as hell and dont know what theyre talking about most of the time.
HTC is the source and they know everything but just arent happy to share until bugged 24/7.
Where do I start? I'm totally newb and firmware and stuff like that. What am I suppose to do? What is rooting? What are the chances of totally screwing up my phone? And what is the lag fix? I basically need help with everything and I also want to know what you can do to a rooted phone and what are benefits? I already know the cons
Thanks, any help is appreciated
Oh, and if I get Froyo or whatever, will I be able to still get TMO updates if the official Froyo ever comes out?
Read the sticky!!!

The chances of something going wrong with JUST rooting your phone are very low. The only thing that can go wrong is if you are hardware locked and still attempt to root, then you can **** up your phone. So make sure you are NOT hardware locked. and you will be fine bro
* When i first started getting into the xda thing, i was right in your place. And the Vibrant Bible in the android dev section really helped me out. Just look at everything in there.
*If you are only rooted, then you will still get OTA's
how do you know if you have a "hardware lock" vibrant?

Hey All,
I got a touchpad recently, new, in box and it seems to have shipped with OS version 3.0.3...According to PreCentral, this is not something they've seen thus far...This is preventing me from doing any modding/Overclocking... Someone recommended I downgrade to 3.0.2...
Anyone know if there's a good reason not to downgrade? I don't know if Im losing much by downgrading, but this tablet isn't very speedy as it is now, so overclocking was supposed to be my solution to that...

Downgrade? Thats not something I would do just yet. If you can find a dev or someone that knows what they are doing. Ask them for help about somehow dumping the ROM on here so other people can check out the new rom.
post some screenshots of it up

Hi,
I just received mine with version 3.0.0. I can update it to version 3.0.3 but of course, I would like to know if it doesn't prevent any hack.
Mine is a french version, which version do you have people?
EDIT : Sorry, update version is 3.0.2, my bad.

i think if you were to downgrade, pretty much you have to make a webOS doctor using meta doctor in linux. follow the steps in one of the threads to installing ubuntu except you dont have to make a ext3fs partition. just use meta-doctor.
Is 3.0.3 even available to the public?

No which is why this thread is here, asking about how a user got it on his device.
Roughly a year ago I got my Sprint EVO 3D. As soon as the first *successful* root procedure was posted I followed it to root my phone. Nearly a year later I have had ZERO issues with my phone/service until about 2 weeks ago. My data speed is nearly non existent. My wife has the same phone with same root. Using the speedtest.net app "HER" phone will get 4 megs download. Mine.....0.12.
I called Sprint and they said they can find nothing on there end to indicate a problem. That it has to be a problem with my phone and I am to take it in and have it checked out. Obviously I can't take it in rooted. I am seeking help/advice to unroot my phone. I feel confident that I can do it, but am confused as to which procedure to use as I cannot remember the name of the root. To re-clarify, I used the FIRST working root that was ever posted.
Any/all help is GREATLY appreciated. I would like to apologize if this is posted in the wrong area. I mean no harm, no foul.
This should have been asked in Q&A. You have to download the ruu and relock your bootloader.
I am so sorry for the wrong area. Should I delete the thread and repost over there? Also do you have a link or push in the right direction to get the PROPER ruu?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20233529&postcount=1
Or do a Google search. Good luck.
Thank you so so so much (thanks button clicked on both your replies). When I first rooted my phone I was like "yes I did it". Now I feel like such a noob.
After some searching and trying my best to remember the root I used I believe I have found it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192245
Will the information you gave to me UNroot THIS particular root method?

Why not? According to internal documents, Sprint requires their employees to treat rooted users equally as unrooted. From everything I've read, no one has had problems taking rooted phones in (especially recently). Of course, YMMV.

I never said Sprint said I couldn't take it in rooted. I am just trying to be thorough is all. The way my luck runs, had I posted I took a rooted phone in for servicing and was told I was screwed because it was rooted it would have been an absolute flame fest of replies LoL
At least this way I know. I can feel confident in what I am doing instead of going at it blind.

Thanks for the info. This seemed to help. I found a local shop through a friend that doesn't care if you are rooted or not. Still am going to try to unroot as it is just nice to know these things.
I have not got around to unrooting just yet. I have been extremely busy. Rest assured I will post as soon as I do (am hoping I can on the 4th) attempt it and share my results.

SORRY it has taken so long to reply. I have been dealing with some health issues. YES thanks to a a guide I found elsewhere I was able to unroot the revolutionary method I first used. Took my phone to Sprint today and they found several issues with it and ordered me a new one. Thanks so much everyone for all the help

It really isn't all that difficult. Read, go slowly and if you have questions post them on that thread and people will help. I have the SHT-W09 8 inch USA wifi and have posted the required patched image for 173 and 190. Perhaps someone will have the correct patched image for the firmware version you are running. If you have not unlocked the bootloader and cannot easily do that with your current firmware that will make it more difficult, but again there is a thread for that and people are willing to help.
Good luck.
