Hmm :/ people have had issues wih windows 8 and adb before, does windows pick up the phone in device manager correctly? I use win7 like many others do here :)

I'm here too since I'd like to downgrade from hboot 1.01.0002 but unfortunately the link isn't valid anymore http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14896452&postcount=1 so a user told us (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=45920114&postcount=102) to check this guide since it's same.
Are you saying this guide doesn't work for downgrading the hboot from 1.01.0002 to 1.01.0001 ?

correct, but only because of the method used. your hboot is not htcdev unlock-able, as such the previous downgrade needed a root exploit to function, but this guide uses htcdev unlocked hboot instead of zergrush to gain root and copy the misc partition. you could upgrade your hboot version to the htcdev one, and then this would work :)

That totally worked!

Many thanks heavy_metal_man, it all fell into place after a few hours of struggle, mostly following the steps to the T helped! In between had to switch between charge only and disk drive (not in the steps, but perhaps something natural for the more experienced), but considering the enormity of what you were doing thats ok!!

I have gone from stock ROM:

Hey pal, thanks for your tuto.
Right now, I'm having trouble with the goldcard tool as it doesn't list anything in HTC MMC (but all other filds have been filled automatically
Is there anything not listed that i need to be installed on my computer?

You just need to load the goldcard.IMG and then hit patch mmc pal :)

problem is when hitting patch MMC (after loading goldcard.img), an error pop: "An error occured La référence d'objet n'est pas définie à une instance d'un objet." (translation may be: "An error occured Object reference not set to an instance of an object.")

are you using a micro sdcard reader or the phone to mount the card? i would avoid using the phone and try formatting the card as well.

ive not ran into this issue before so try searching on google for more info.
 
OK, I borrowed a card reader, now it works, thanks pal =)

    Hey guys, I have worked out a way for everyone who as been upgraded to the htcdev hboot to be able to downgrade for revolutionary s-off ;)

    This seems like a lot of hassle but it doesnt really take that long, an hour max if you follow my instructions to the T :)

    But first....
    Code:
     DISCLAIMER
    I or anyone else on this forum is not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in the products you find here before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, we will laugh at you. Your warranty will be void if you tamper with any part of your device / software.

    I love the cyanogenmod disclaimer :p

    anyway, this is what you will need to get the job done.

    Requirements
    1. This downgrade package.
    2. HxD hex editor- from here .
    3. A working android phone to help with making the gold card, and/or a known working sd card that is compatible for being a gold card.
    4. A ok/great knowledge of adb/fastboot commands/
    5. A htcdev unlocked bootloader follow my previous guide here.
    6. cwm recovery installed.
    7. superuser installed.
    8. downloaded package moved to c:\ on your hard drive. so it will look like c:\adb\ #all the stuff ect#


    ok, so....
    step 1. Connect your buzz up to your pc with usb debugging mode enabled and the device set to charge only.

    step 2. open a command prompt and cd to your adb folder using this command
    Code:
    cd c:\adb\

    step 3. enter the following commands one at a time. copy paste is recommended.
    Code:
    adb shell
    
    su
    
    cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/misc.img
    
    exit
    
    exit
    
    adb pull /sdcard/misc.img misc.img


    step 4. ok this will have pulled your misc.img from the device to your adb folder. so now we need to hex edit it. open HxD or your preferred hex editor and click file/open and travel to your adb folder in c:\adb\ and select misc.img

    step 5. this is crucial. we need to edit line 11 to state that our software version is lower that it actually is. i have set this to 1.11.111.1 as a default position. we also need to over-ride the HTCU with just .... so, take a look at the picture
    345lbiw.png

    Here i have my original on top and our desired ending on the bottom. In order for us to correctly change only the values we need we must hi-light
    only the values we want to change, one at at time. for example
    1254d9g.jpg

    If you look on the left in the hi-lighted area you will see that their is gaps in the red edited area that is still black. that means that point has not been changed. this is what we want. we get this by hi-lighting one number at a time on the right panel thats hi-lighted and replacing it with the vaule we want.

    once we have done that we can hi-light the HTCU and replace it also with just
    Code:
    ....
    . after this use file/save as and save the file as Nmisc.img. it should ask to save in the directory that your old misc.img was in but just make sure when your saving it that its in c:\adb\ .It must be this or the future commands will not work by copy paste :)

    step 6. now we need to make a gold card. if you already have one, you can skip this part. first using your working android phone, download and install Goldcard helper from the android market. Run the app and copy down your sd cards reverse cid.

    step 7. now go to this website here and enter in your reverse cid. it will then let you download a goldcard.img.

    step 8. now go back to our c:\adb\ folder and run the goldcardtool.exe, this will flash the goldcard to your sd card. Warning! this will format your card!!

    step 9. once that is done we are now ready for the final push :)

    place your Nmisc.img and flash_image onto your sdcard and boot into your stock rooted rom.

    step 10. with usb debugging still on and the phone set to charge only, open a command prompt and cd to c:\adb\ again.

    step 11. issue the following commands one at a time. you will know they have been successful as the command prompt will return a $ or a # when ready.
    Code:
    adb shell
    su
    
    cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
    
    chmod 755 /data/flash_image
    
    /data/flash_image misc /sdcard/Nmisc.img
    
    exit
    
    exit
    
    adb reboot bootloader

    your phone will now reboot into the bootloader and you will see that you are locked oow again. this is normal as this is the HTCU we deleted :)

    step 12. The last stand ;)
    issue the following commands
    Code:
    fastboot oem rebootRUU
    
    fastboot flash zip 1.01.zip
    
    fastboot flash zip 1.01.zip
    
    fastboot reboot

    after the first fastboot flash zip 1.01.zip is issued it will stop, saying the image needs to be flushed again. this is normal and is what we are aiming for ;) just fastboot flash zip 1.01.zip again and we will be good to go!

    This process will downgrade you to a WWE rom version of hboot 1.01.0001 and will leave you ready for revolutionary s-off!
    follow this guide for revolutionary


    video here :) sorry for the jumpy camera, i couldnt find my camera stand :confused:.......

    special thanks to everyone on xda that has done misc downgrading in the past, thanks to everyone involved in the goldcard process, for apps, websites and tools, Cyangenmod for the disclaimer and thanks to xda for hosting one of the greatest forums I've been on :cool:

    HELP HERE PLZ

    Your goldcard has failed. You need to either select mmc1 in goldcard tool if available (the other patching option) or your sd card is just not compatible with being a gold card and you will need to source a new/different one. Make sure to use official SanDisk sd cards as cheap knock offs tend to fail at being goldcards.
    When you make the next gold card don't re-run all the steps. Proceed from fastboot reboot ruu and it should be ok. If you get a software is "older than current" failure next time then repeat the guide from flashing the new edited misc.img good luck :beer:
