Android :: Downgrading To Factory 2.1
Aug 11, 2010
My phone has froyo 2.2. I downloaded 2.2 from the thread on this site to update manually. I want to downgrade to factory 2.1 When I place the 2.1 update back on my phone and hit update I get the following message:

Finding update package
Opening update package
Verifying update package
Installing Update
E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip (Status 2) Installation Aborted How can I downgrade to 2.1 if I get this error? How do I fix this?

I would like to know how can I get back to the Android 2.1 from Android 4; my phone simply creeps in Android 4. One more question; Will the keypad led come back after downgrading to 2.1 or is it lost permanently?

I'm sure it's been mentioned somewhere before, but the forum search feature wasnt too helpful. I would like to downgrade my 2.1 on my Eris back to the 1.5. Because this phone sucks and doesnt even work as a phone with the silent bug with 2.1.

Ever since I got android 2.2 a couple of days ago, I've been having this problem with my text messages where I'm not getting a text until hours after someone ends it to me. I never had this problem before I download 2.2 so I don't think its just a conisidence that it started immediately after I made the upgrade. I want to downgrade back to 2.1 and see if that solves the problem. how would I do this? Would the process be the same as upgrading to 2.2 was? Where would I go to get the 2.1 file?

I tried to install JB 4.1.2 from 4.0.4. It installed with a ROM. Only problem: Wifi keeps on error: Turning On. No bluetooth working and no mobile internet.
Any possible way to downgrade? I tried via CWM 5 recovery, but it always says: Can't op xxxxxx.ZIP
Factory Reset doesnt reset the kernel ofc.

I am tryibng to downgrade my Hboot from 0.93 to 0.8 and am following this guide:[HOWTO] Downgrade Froyo (2.2) to Stock 2.1 (ANY HBOOT | WIN/LINUX/MAC | ROOT) - xda-developers The reason I amn doing this is because with Unrevoked I get a Validation Error Backup CID Is Missing or words to that effect.I understand that downgrading to an earflier Hboot version would make Unrevoked work and I can then root my htc desire.This is where I have a problem:
Checking misc partition
/data/local/mtd0.image: ok
CID retrieved: H3__001
Modifying misc parition image
Flashing misc partition... mtd: not writing bad block at 0x00000000
error writing misc: no space left on device Flash complete If any error ocurred here, press ctrl-c and run this utility again this I assume is talking about the little space i have ont he phone itself and not the sdcard as I have tried 2 sd cards. I did a factory reset, created the gold card and went throguh the process several times.If I let it go and carry on it goes through a few more things before it finally finishes. Then it reboots my htc desire and a white screen with skateboarding androids shows up, from there in the instructions it tells me to push up for flashing if i do that it goes to the nerxt option which is sim lock and I dont think that is what it is meant to be.If I boot into reocvery the phone freezes at a screen pic of the phone with a gtriangle and exclamation mark and so I take the battery out and reboot that way. Please can someone explain where am I going wrong here?
Windows 7 x64
Android 2.1
Hboot 0.93

I upgraded my LG Optimus One from it's original Froyo 2.2 to the newer Jelly Bean 4.1. The upgrade worked well but now I cannot get on the a mobile network, I cannot connect properly with Bluetooth and I cannot even download apps. My phone has become completely useless. Is there a way I can get it back to it's original 2.2 format?

For those wanting to root, you may want to wait for unRevoked 3.2. It is supposed to be 1-click root and requires no downgrading.
[ROOT] unrEVOked 3.2: one-click root for Froyo, no downgrading - xda-developers
I just spent 2 hours rooting on Friday. Hope this helps folks avoid the hassle.

Just ran reset on my phone twice...it rebooted and nothing was removed! Never seen this before anyone have any thoughts? I'm on CM 5.0.7.1, and haven't seen this behavior before on that or any other ROM. Gonna boot into recovery and do it manually.

I decided to try and root to install a custom 2.1 rom on my Telus HTC Hero running firmware 1.5 (build 2.73.661.46 CL#74632 release-keys), but I'm failing miserably! I'm following the goldcard method to downgrade before rooting but every time I create a gold card it fails. I remove the card and either insert it into the phone or PC and both tell me it's unrecognised and needs formatting.
I've tried 4 different micro SD cards (stock 2GB, class 4 4GB, class 4 8GB, generic 2GB) all with the same result. Is this because I'm running Windows Vista or Windows 7 (I get the same result on two different laptops)? If I install XP will I have more luck? Or do I just need to keep spending yet more cash on unneeded micro SD cards? Or just keep trying with the same cards over and over agian? Failing that, I'll buy a prepared goldcard if anybody has a spare one lying around?

so i have looked every where, and from what i have been able to figure out is that this error is due to either an SD card not willing to become a goldcard or the RUU i downloaded is incorrect. i downloaded the RUU from bak2basiks page which is what a few of my friends downloaded and worked for them. and i tried to dl it from xda site but that link is dead. so before shooting myself in the face my friend recommended that i try the fountain of knowledge that is androidforums.com. I have the HTC Hero, gsm, on the Telus network.

I guess it is a old issue, and I have googled the related message in the group, and I think I do not miss anything: 1. I made the MD5 fingerprint of the SDK debug dertificate by keytool, and I applied the maps api key, refer to //code.google.com/android/ toolbox/apis/mapkey.htm 2. I added the apikey into my layout xml; 3. I added <uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps"/> into my manifest xml;
but I still met this error, btw ,I have set the http_proxy in setting table, and I can use browser to visit network. has somebody succeeded to get a map on emulator other than device? could you give me some tips about it?

I'm having some problems with my Android TV box. When I try to factory reset the box, it boots with the initial setup screen as you'd expect. However when I restart the box, it returns to its pre-reset state, with all my apps and settings as they were before the reset. I have tried the following:
- Full factory reset
- Installing older firmware, deleting partition cache, then reinstalling the new firmware
Despite all this the box still boots with my previous apps/data/settings.

I need your help in knowing if string/integer can be made factory configurable in android. eg: A welcome message is stored at some location. To change this message all a person needs to do is go to the above location and enter the new text. The ROM image build command would now take this new string for display. The advantage is that you don't need to recompile your entire project.

I downloaded a theme from the market and when I switched scenes back to HTC then back to the one I downloaded, a new wallpaper showed up, which I really like. I didn't like the theme (I think it was causing problems on my phone) so I uninstalled it, but the wallpaper remained (bonus). I have used it on my phone ever since, and now I want to restore my phone to factory default and redo everything in the hopes it will restore the speed my phone once had. I would really like to save the wallpaper but I can't find it anywhere on my phone. I have searched for hours trying to find where it could be or if I could even somehow grab the file being downloaded from the market and extract the wallpaper there. Does anyone know where to find the current home screen wallpaper. I've read that it was in the data directory, but that can only be accessed if you root your phone (i think) which I really don't want to do. I'm just trying to find some way that I can have the wallpaper saved and I can put it back on my phone without having to install the theme (which may or may not have caused the problems on my phone).

I'm not completely up to date with all the android features as I see a lot of you are as I mostly use the phone for basic multimedia on top of my phones services. I have recently noticed that although I use the advanced task killer to stop apps from running they still continuously turn themselves on and drain my battery. I can't keep watching my phone every second to "kill" them as they pop up. I was wondering if there is another way keep this from happening as there arn't any settings option in these individual apps to stop it or even better. An app to unistall "factory" apps such as MP3 store n so on.

Had my HTC Wildfire for about a month now and enjoyed it immensely. I've installed tons of apps and tried as much stuff as I could. Unfortunately now my phone has started restarting at random intervals. Middle of the night, at noon, you never know. This of course annoys me and I see no other option than to do a factory reset(If anyone has an idea what the cause could be I'd love to hear it.)But, having spent a month setting everything up just the way I like it, I squirm a bit when thinking about a factory reset. From what I understand all my apps can be redownloaded quite easily from the market - but what about those I didn't get from the market? Sounds like a lot of hassle potentially Also, contacts, Gmail/facebook linking, browser bookmarks, settings etc. - is there any way I can save all these for easy installation afterwards? I'm only thinking of a factory reset because of the restarts and because I feel the phone has become a little sluggish and I don't know what else to do to fix it.

I am stuck in the recovery mode "FACTORY MODE" in my phone. I've enter in the recovery menu (power + volume up down) then I enter Factory Mode, then Item Test. And in this item test I don't have an option to return to previous menu tree, my phone only have UP, DOWN and POWER buttons, and none of them goes back to initial menu. Also the battery is non user replaceable, so I'm completely stuck in this screen. It's a motorola razr D3 XT920. I'm going nut's.
