DO NOT USE THIS IF YOUR PHONE CAME WITH GINGERBREAD Or newer Software. Use the Ace Hack Kit for DHD
How to downgrade to 1.32.405.6 WWE

HTC - Quietly S-OFF. Again.
About:
The problems started when HTC released their 1.72.405.3 OTA update. That update could not be rooted, and many people got stuck in stock roms. Now a downgrade method has arrived! After this process, you can use any root (+ S-OFF) method you want. Basically your device will be just like any other Desire HD with older build version. Downgrading will completely reset your device to factory defaults, so remember to back up all important data (such as contacts, game saves and sms messages).
System requirements:
- HTC Sync (or ADB drivers)
- Desire HD with build number 1.72 or higher
- [Warning] Telus DHDs may lose sound because the 1.32.405.6 is not fully compatible with the sound chip. Just start using a custom ROM, and it will work fine.
How to downgrade:
Section 1
Section 2a [For Froyo ROMs, 1.7x and 1.8x]
- Disable any antivirus software
- If you have a branded / regional (like Indian or Vodaphone) device, you have to make a Goldcard. Use "mmc2" instead of "mmc1"!!
- Download the attached file and extract it
- Get stock 1.32 PD98IMG.zip ROM, mirror
- Put the PD98IMG.zip into your SD card. Do not put it into a folder, and do not extract it.
Section 2b [For Gingerbread ROMs, 2.x]
- Connect Desire HD to a computer. Charge only, USB Debugging enabled!
- Open up a cmd and go to Downgrade folder, execute commands:
Code:adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/psneuter adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version adb shell /data/local/tmp/psneuter adb shell
Section 3
- Connect Desire HD to a computer. Charge only, USB Debugging enabled!
- Open up a cmd and go to Downgrade folder, execute commands:
Code:adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version adb shell ./data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start FBB00000 -end FFFFFFFF
Big thanks: Scotty2, Guhl and the fre3vo teamIf you got "#" in the result, you have temporary root! Proceed with commands:
Code:cd /data/local/tmp ./misc_version -s 1.31.405.6
- Close the CMD. Reboot while holding volume down, it will go to the bootloader
- Follow the instructions (start the update)
- Done. You can now click my thanks button! Proceed with old S-OFF methods, and remove the PD98IMG.zip from your SD. I recommend Radio S-OFF for new users.
Downloadcount for Downgrade package v1 is 15808, and for v2 it is 32012.
