1st you will need the following files
GingerBreak from http://c-skills.blogspot.com/2011/04/yummy-yummy-gingerbreak.html
misc_version from http://www.multiupload.com/A9PNGVBWBE
Default rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
and Android SDK http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Also you will need a clean SD card 1 gig or more should be fine (smaller is better)
Unzip GingerBreak and misc_version into a folder say c:\Downgrade (I normally use 7Zip)
You should have:
c:\Downgrade\GingerBreak with 5 Files
c:\Downgrade\misc_version with 4 Files
Make sure you installed Android SDK's Platform tools and updated your path to reflect this
IE: run SDK Manager and install Android SDK Tools and Google USB Driver pack if you don t have HTC Sync driver running.
Format the SD card and copy the rom.zip into the base of the card, not a sub directory. (Do not unzip)
Now: Plug in the phone to the USB and make sure Debugging is on and the phone is set to charge only.
Then open Command prompt ie: run cmd.exe
Go to your Downgrade directory and test if your adb command is in the path. ie: run it and make sure it lists switches and not say file not found
Then run as follow
if you fail to get root ie: prompt does not return to # or get a endless sendmsg() failed? Error, reboot the phone and repeat the commands above. The phone I used, took 3 tries to get this right.
at the # run the following
When its done exit cmd and goto your phone, Reboot it while pressing volume down.
It will come up with a menu and follow the update instructions.
You should then be on Android version 2.2 when done.
Please note the rom I supplied works with unbranded phone only if you have a branded phone you will need to make a goldcard. If you want to know how to make one, google is your friend sorry.
