whats ics ?? and where the list of roms ?? sorry new to forums
thanks alot bro again ... you should get points everytime you help someone lol
one last question .. with the hotspot do it supposed to atomatically work or i have to install something else for it to work ?
you will either have to flash the hotspot hack or flash a rom. most custom roms will have the hotspot hacked. so it will depend on what you want to do. i would try mikg3.0 if you want to try a sense rom. and i would try either cm7 or deck;s for aosp.
thanx for the update. was there anything in particular you did that made it work? it might help others.
The latter.
If you have any img file of the misc partition for your device (I assume there's a way to pull it directly from the device), changing the main version is a simple matter of a hex edit.
So yes, the process is:
- use Tacoroot to temp root
- While rooted, copy flash_image binary to /data partition.
- Flash mtd.img file to misc partition, downgrading the HBOOT main version
- Flash an older stock RUU to device, downgrading HBOOT to a rootable version
aosp ?
o ok ...so tell me is there a official ics or jus the beta ?
htc has not released the official source code for ics yet. once they do then we will start seeing sense ics roms, but until that happens all we have right now are beta ics aosp roms at the moment. they are not yet in final and some of them do have some bugs that needs to be ironed out. but they are getting close. i'm gonna be flashing deck's ics rom probably tomorrow.
Yup - it should be a simple hex edit. You just have to know the mount location of your misc partition, in order to pull it from the device. I'm not exactly sure how that works, but it doesn't look too difficult to find out.
I guess they've upped the security on those partitions since the days of the lowly EVO. Makes sense, I guess. The rest of that stuff is over my head, too. I don't know anything about emmc devices.ok, thank you very much. i understand now how to edit a misc image to lower the version #
the problem we are having is that the misc partitions(we have found two of them on the MT4GS) SEEM to be write-protected, even with a root adb shell thru Tacoroot! have you heard of this kind of extra security? we have tried flashing the partitions at least 2 different ways, and the change is not being written, and we are unable to downgrade.
we are thinking we might have to resort to something that was done on the G2, something to do with loading a kernel module that power cycles the emmc, and gives write access... kinda over my head a bit, but people will be working on it...

any thoughts or ideas? ever heard of this extra security added in by HTC?
thanks for your help!
welcome to the forums!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you can't do it that way. The phone needs to be in fastboot. And you need the recovery.img in the android folder. The directions are in the guide.
