Wen you mess up some rom, in the end, you have to sign it...Means it carries your signature...so unless you are s-off, you cannot just flash a custom rom...n also i don't think you can cheat the device just by editing the version...I'm not quite sure about the answer...

I had that idea last night but didn't know how to do it. I can try it if someone provides me with the instructions on doing so. I would LOVE to get rid of the stupid 2.43 rom on my phone.

A question about dgrade...

I have a problem when trying to type into cmd...

It says this:
adb server is out of date. killing ....
* deamon started successfully *
error: device not found

Well, I have installed and updated Android SDK and within it, I've installed drivers.
Changing USB port also doesn't help.

Any idea why my phone can't be recognized?
OS: Win 7 64bit

What is your software version? Chances are good if you read the previous posts your version is too high & like many of us, we are waiting for this to be solved by the powers of the developers.

It's 2.3.3 and as I read on previous pages it can be downgraded ?!

EDIT:
Tried again after another google usb driver install and now it showed this in cmd:

*deamon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
*deamon started successfully*
error: device not found

EDIT 2:
My PC is not recognizing phone at all :(. Tried with HTC Sync with no luck :(

Sorry, I meant what is your build #. Most of us have 2.3.3 but check
Menu
Settings
About Phone
Software Information
Software # 2.??.???.?

I have the same problem you encounter but I know its because my build # is too high.

Solution

For those who have flashed with 2.42 or higher, itried flashing directly with 1.32 with this stock rom RRU.... and it works.
then i use visionary+ and i rooted it and then i flash with any desired rom (Spike speedy for me beceause of multilanguage RTL and LTR).

Hope this will help u all :eek:

No gold card neither ADB instructions

Absolutly, Just download the .exe file, connect your DHD with Charge only, execute this file, instrutions will be displayed in windows you are just called to press "Next" after reading these instructions; in result your DHD is flashed with a stock ROM 1.32.
This rom can be rooted with visionary+ r14.
after rooting u can install Rom manager to reboot in recovery mode and then u can flash any desided ROM.

i hope it's clear ;)

Yup, I got it but I discharged batt already and now it gives me error (batt under 30%).

I'll recharge it a while and I'll try again.

EDIT:

Something is wrong, batt level is 78% (*#*#4636#*#* - batt info) and I got error again.

    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
    • 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.
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse
    Section 2a [For Froyo ROMs, 1.7x and 1.8x]
    • 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
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse
    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 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
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse
    Section 3
    If 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. :)

    Click to collapse
    Big thanks: Scotty2, Guhl and the fre3vo team

    Downloadcount for Downgrade package v1 is 15808, and for v2 it is 32012.

    FAQ:
    Q: Will I lose all my settings and applications?
    - Yes, so make a backup with MyBackup Pro.
    Q: I have done Radio S-OFF and SuperCID, do I need this?
    - No, with those you do not need this kind of trickery.
    Q: I have flashed a custom ROM with e.g. 1.84 build number, do I need this?
    - No, with ClockworkMod you can jump between builds freely.
    Q: It says '#' but I still cannot use root applications!
    - That is normal, this method only gives root in command line. Just go ahead and downgrade.
    Q: Is my phone Froyo or Gingerbread?
    - Check it in Settings -> About -> Software information -> Android version. 2.2 is Froyo and 2.3 is Gingerbread.
    Q: How do I navigate to downgrade folder?
    - You can read this short and easy explanation.

    Troubleshooting:
    - "Main version is older"? You did not type everything correctly. Please try it again and see if any errors come up.
    - "Error opening backup file"? You did not use "Charge only" -connection, or your SD card is faulty.
    - "CID mismatch/CID incorrect"? Your device is branded. Just make a Goldcard, put the PD98IMG.zip to the card again and go to the bootloader.
    - "Model ID incorrect"? Some Telus DHDs get this, just make a Goldcard.
    - "Failed to set prot mask (Inappropriate ioctl for device)"? Use Gingerbread method to downgrade.
    - Zip will not load in bootloader? Format your SD card to FAT32, no quick format! You can also try another SD.
    - Problems while making Goldcard? See this post.
    - PD98IMG.zip md5sum is: C3D244A9F056E48EE3851A14FF52204C

    holy crap!

    It's done....The old Firmware is now on my DHD! :)

    It took 5 hours to complete it. Why? Because of the CID error i had!


    If there is anybody who has problems with building the "Goldcard" try this:

    When you are prompt to enter the following link...

    adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid

    ...and you get the error: no such file or directory...

    ...try to enter the path with ...mmc0/mmc0.... OR ...mmc2/mmc2...

    The Path with ...mmc2/mmc2... show me the right CID for my Sdcard and i could go on!


    Thank you guys for the good job! Now i am able to flash a custom rom!!!

    I'll donate to you for sure ;-)


    So long!

    It is possible, but a ready PD98IMG is now uploading, so if you wait for an hour, you will not need a windows pc.
