[GUIDE][DOWNGRADE][FLASHING] Downgrade and flashing discussion th

He's saying his home button doesn't work. Everything else is fine.

Hmm, I see. I thought he forgot to erase persiste partition.

If you do not wipe it when downgrading, fp and radio won't work on nougat.

Oh ok. I thought it was just the radio that didn't work. :good:

I want to downgrade for Android 7
Now I'm running Android O
3.16.401.2
CID-HTC__J15
MID-2PS620000
S-OFF

I would like to know which firmware and RUU are correct for my version. I saw so many links to versions in the forum that I was a bit confused.

______________________________edit______________________________

I researched and will ask you to please correct me if I am wrong.
The correct firmware and RUU version for my device is: 2.41.401.41

Hello,
I want to downgrade from Android O to Android N

3.16.401.2
CID-HTC__34
mid: 2PS620000
S-ON

I went through the script, but don't understand this:
"Two methods for S-ON or S-OFF device, please do it under Nougat 7.0 firmware installed"

what should I do to start?

Start with the knowledge which bootloader you have, are you S-ON or S-OFF, if you don't know the difference than please read up more and acquire more knowledge. Google on the root ninja s-off HTC10 and it will be clear.

Once you know that you follow the correct procedure to downgrade. Put in some effort and you will succeed

As above, I'm S-ON, and it is not the issue.
Once again - i've read the script and don't understand one thing - please read again carrefully my request.
I'm on Oreo firmware but the script seas - must be Nougat firmware - how to do this?

Well you asked about the 2 methods, s-on and off so start with the s-on procedure, obsolete question right ?

Next is to obtain the nougat firmware that's meant for your device and again follow the procedures......and as along i read it it's about deleting the persist part and that is separate in relation to downgrading itself. So downgrade to nougat and then follow the command to erase the persist for s-on.

Keep reading.

 

[yellowhornet13]

i think i't might be better/faster/easier do S-OFF, and then use RUU Nougat.

That choice is all up to you

 

[yellowhornet13]

what about bootloader - must be unlocked or locked?

 

[santod040]

what about bootloader - must be unlocked or locked?

For what?
The downgrade guide in the other thread you're posting in gives instructions.
If that's what you're referring to...
For the s-on process, Twrp recovery is required (as noted in the guide) and can only be installed if you are bootloader unlocked.

Well it's a great find that this method should work fine but it's bound to happen that a few or more will properly brick their device.

If it can't boot to anything there is nothing we can do. Try all sorts of button combos as that's the only thing you actually can do.

i solved the problem. i booted to fastboot and flashed Nougat hosd images and i can acces recovery, download mode. i copied ruu file to sd card and now i flashing .

But you just said bootloader didn't work?

 

[frostnicko]

I tried power+ vol down but didnt work.i read in comments and tried power+ vol up+vol down and bootloader worked

 

[mattie_49]

That button combo always makes it boot bootloader unless you've bricked your device. These simple things ,anyone should know prior to doing any flashing or fastboot work period. Going blindly into situations could definitely leave you without a device.
