Hi Everyone-
I apologize if this has already been covered - I have been searching (forums + Google) since last night but can't find a definitive answer...
I have a 2.1 DInc, rooted with Unr3voked and Clockwork. I'd like to try out some of the other ROMs, such as Cyanogen6 or the leaked 2.2. All of these require that you update the phone's radio firmware to version 2.05.00.06.11. I currently have 1.00.03.04.06.
I'm fine with the upgrade process, including unrooting using PB31IMG.zip. What makes me nervous is that I've read in several places that applying an OTA update once the radio is updated to 2.05.00.06.11 could result in a bricked phone. So I've been looking for a way to downgrade / roll back the radio to 1.00.03.04.06, so that I have the option to apply the Froyo OTA when it arrives.
Is this what the "How to revert back to an earlier version of HBOOT" thread is for? There's no mention of the radio firmware on this thread, but this thread over at XDA seems to indicate that the procedure can be used to roll back the radio. Hard to get a definitive answer from that thread, though.
Can anyone confirm:
[a] whether it is possible to roll back the radio from 2.x to 1.x on the DInc?
what the procedure is for doing so?
[c] whether an OTA would brick the phone after upgrading radio to 2.x?
Many, Many Thanks!
Dave
