What is easier than trying to downgrad is useing exploid exploit
Here is a draft of the steps:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=User:Ezterry/G1_1.6_To_Custom_Firmware
I made it in a rush so clean if need be.. but don't completely re-write if you want to do that post elsewhere.
As for the problem with downgrading is the files are only intended for US/UK dreams and you don't have one of those..
however my steps above are probably also safer for those with said dreams.. since it tries to avoid the brick potential with dangerSPL
Now i have been trying that link, but i cant go forward from step 3
run the following adb commands:
* adb push exploid /sqlite_stmt_journals/exploid
* adb push flash_image /sqlite_stmt_journals/flash_image
* adb push recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0-cyan.img /data/local/recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0-cyan.img
* adb push spl_1_33_2003.zip /sdcard/spl_1_33_2003.zip
* adb shell chmod 755 /sqlite_stmt_journals/exploid /sqlite_stmt_journals/flash_image
* adb shell /sqlite_stmt_journals/exploid

Unless you give details I'm not sure how you expect anyone to help
"It doesn't work" could mean:
1) adb/fastboot isn't properly installed on your computer
2) you are not running adb from the directory with the files
3) you are making a typo in the command line (or I made a typo in the commands in that document.. unlikely but not impossible)
4) phone doesn't have USB debugging enabled or is not plugged into the computer
5) Your USB port on the phone is fired.
Ok i think the first adb running and the 2cond I think? How can i running that adb ?

Try either the xda thread for adb/fastboot/sdk or the adp1 developer site
wiki page said:
[size=+2]Install ADB/Fastboot[/size]
For this to work I expect that you have adb/fastboot installed on your computer and understand that adb/fastboot commands are entered into your computer; not the phone
The XDA thread on setting this up is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719 Otherwise additional information is on the htc adp site: http://developer.htc.com/adp.html#s2

Many windows users find it easiest to put the files in the tools directory with adb. That said I'm primarily OSX and set up the path to allow me to access the commands anywhere.
I have been trying to install adb but i dont have the SDK Setup.exe file!
2cond thing that i see is
that
Things you need:
Android SDK - Download
Winrar - Download (32bit) Download (64bit)
Windows PC
USB Cable
A Rooted HTC Dream (Google G1)
I dont have a rooted HTC Dream
That line lies; adb is used by developers on non rooted devices all the time..
the setup is the windows drivers..
Questions about adb *if* posted in the adb thread will be read by many more windows users that may be able to help.
You don't need to pm if you are asking the question in this thread.

WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE! FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS AND YOU SHOULD BE FINE!
IF YOU HAVE HONEYCOMB 3.1 OR SOME OTHER FIRMWARE OTHER THAN 8.2.3.9 THEN YOU CAN DOWNGRADE VERY EASILY
[HERE IS HOW TO DOWNGRADE]
Some prerequisites to the rooting process:
1) You must have a Windows 7 or XP for this tutorial.
2) You must have a micro SD card in your tablet throughout the procedure. It is safe to remove it AFTER you finish the ALL steps. There's no minimum size requirement but 2gb should be fine.
3) The files needed to root your device from here:
http://asustransform.com/forum/index.php?/topic/19-how-to-root-your-asus-transformer/
4) An Asus Transformer (16 or 32gb) running Honeycomb 3.0.1...SEE DOWNGRADE INSTRUCTIONS IF YOU ARE ON HONEYCOMB 3.1
5) Data cable
6) Me guiding you
Alright now that you have everything set, lets begin the rooting process!
1) You need to make sure your device has USB Debugging activated. To do this go to Setting>Applications>Development and make sure there is a check box next to USB Debugging. Leave the other two options unchecked.
2) Check what your Build Number is. Go to Settings>About Tablet>Build Number. Make a note. If it it says 0423 at the end (or anything after) then you use V5. If its anything below (ex. 0421) then you use V4. Got it?
3) Hook up your Transformer to your computer via the USB Cable. Avoid USB hubs if possible.
4) If you are using Windows 7 then the drivers will install automatically. I have provided you with the link to the drivers here:
http://asustransform.com/forum/index.php?/topic/19-how-to-root-your-asus-transformer/
4) Download & Install the Asus Sync software. I know its annoying to have to install bloatware that you will probably never use but in this case, your Windows machine will not detect your device without it.
http://asustransform.com/forum/index.php?/topic/19-how-to-root-your-asus-transformer/
5) Insert the MicroSD card into your Transformer and make sure that the tablet recognizes it. I have had issues with some cards not being detected.
6) Now we need to download the Android SDK. You can download it here.
http://asustransform.com/forum/index.php?/topic/19-how-to-root-your-asus-transformer/
7) Install the Java Developer Kit if you dont have it already. You can find it here:
http://asustransform.com/forum/index.php?/topic/19-how-to-root-your-asus-transformer/
*Edit*
Even after you install the JDK the SDK installer might say that its not installed. Just click back then next again (or restart the installer again) and it should work-Thanks Codiox
8) Install the SDK to the root of your hard drive and put it in a folder called Android. This means when you click the local disk C: drive the first folder you should see is the Android folder. This will make using the command prompt simple.
9) Go to Start>All Programs>Android SDK and click in the SDK Manager. When you're presented with the option to install all updates (and you have time to do so) let it all install. All you really need though is the Android SDK Provision tools update. You can hit cancel once that is installed successfully.
10) Open up the command prompt
11) Lets being with the terminal commands. Make sure you press the ENTER button after every command line. You can copy and paste the commands if you want; if you do so, you dont need to press enter to go to the next line.
12.
Code:
adb devices
make sure your device is detected
13.
Code:
adb push gingerbreakBB /data/local/
14.
Code:
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/gingerbreakBB
15.
Code:
adb shell
you will get a $ sign.
16.
Code:
./data/local/gingerbreakBB
nothing will happen at first, but after about 5 minutes, you will see a long list of "vold" commands....let this run its course...go grab a sandwich or something.
If for some reason it says permission denied, try running these commands immediately after running the
Code:
./data/local/gingerbreakBB
command. DO THIS ONLY IF YOU GET PERMISSION DENIED LIKE IN MY VIDEO! If you didnt get the permission denied error, continue to step 20.
17.
Code:
rm /data/local/tmp/boomsh
then type.
18.
Code:
rm /data/local/tmp/sh
then redo step 16 again which is
19.
Code:
./data/local/gingerbreakBB
20. After about 7-10 minutes you will be presented with a # sign. THIS IS GOOD!
21. Open ANOTHER command prompt window; the same way you opened the first one. DO NOT FOR ANY REASON CLOSE THE FIRST COMMAND PROMPT. LEAVE IT OPEN IN THE BACKGROUND!
22. type
Code:
adb devices
23. PAY ATTENTION HERE! Remember when I told you to look at your build number? We need that information now. If your tablet has a build number ON OR AFTER 0423 then use this command
Code:
adb push CWM_BLOB_V5 /data/local
If it has a build number BEFORE 0423 (ie. 0422) then use this command
Code:
adb push CWM_BLOB_V4 /data/local
24. Whatever number you used above, you will continue to use it throughout the installation! REPLACE THE # SIGN WITH WHATEVER YOUR NUMBER ABOVE WAS; EITHER 4 OR 5.
Type
Code:
adb pull /data/local/CWM_BLOB_V# cwmblob_retransfer
then
25. Return BACK to the PREVIOUS command prompt that had the # sign just sitting there.
26. Type
Code:
dd if=/data/local/CWM_BLOB_V# of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
Replace # with your number (4 or 5)
27.
Code:
adb shell
28.
Code:
reboot
29. Your device will reboot now. This will take a bit longer than a normal reboot so be patient.
30.
Code:
adb remount
31.
Code:
adb push su /system/xbin
32.
Code:
adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/
33.
Code:
adb shell
34.
Code:
reboot
THAT'S IT! Congratulations! You have successfully rooted your Asus Transformer. I hope this tutorial made it simple for you. Let us know if you have any questions!

Not until someone updates the modifies blob files for 3.1. However you can use this how-to to root the 3.0.1 build then flash a 3.1 ROM. Unless you're on 3.1 now with no root...then ur SOL for just a but longer

Trouble installing development kit
I installed the Java SE Development Kit 6 Update 25 (64-bit) but when I try to run the SDK tools setup it says the JDK is not found. The Development Kit shows up in my programs and I've installed it and reinstalled it about 3 times now, including downloading a fresh file and rebooting my computer. Is that the wrong file? I'm running Windows7 on a 64-bit computer. TIA - sheureka

If you have root already you can update to 3.1 using the modified update that is floating around here. Sorry I don't have a link.

just click on the "back" button, then the "next" button and you'll be fine. its a known bug.
Good write up. There are two problems. You do not give credit to the source of the root method (apache/bumblebee and rayman) and they specifically asked that their method not be reposted, only linked.
If you watched the video you would know that I took a minute to thank the developers of over at androidroot.mobi (which include all the people you just mentioned). As for their files, I respected their wishes... again I specifically said this in the video that I will honor their wishes. The link on my site takes them directly to their site. I do not host any of their files. As for the write up itself, this is my variation of their work. I wrote everything you see in my own words so newbies will understand it without confusion. Their procedure didn't work for me so I just tweaked it to make it work for me and decided to share. I'm not trying to steal their work, I think people here know my true intentions. I just wanted to help and promote my site a little. I hope that clears up everything. I will add additional credit on the main page so there's no confusion.

I went ahead to went to the other command screen and did that stuff, hoping something would shake lose. Exploit did not take a while. In fact nothing happened at all. I'm not sure what to do - should I reboot the tablet to see what happens or just unplug and start all over. Any ideas?
I just saw that someone over on AsusTransform site has exactly the same problem. I did unplug and everything seems to be running fine (though it's obviously not rooted) but it's a little scary.

I have another person on my forum with the same issue. What was your battery life when you attempted this? His was below 20%. Are u using a USB hub? My recommendations are to reboot, try a different usb port, charge the tab above 50% if its low and try again. You most likely need to do steps 17-19 since you pushed the gingerbreak file already. Let me kknow iif that works.

I apologize, I was mistaken. This will not work on the following firmware
8.2.3.13
There is currently no way to root this and I dont think theres a way to downgrade either. I will adjust my post. Sorry about that :-( your tab is fine though. No harm done.

Never mind.
For those on Windows 8.1 who have just about given up trying to get S-OFF...
For reference I have an ATT HTC One, but showing in bootloader as m7ul (didn't seem to make a difference to any downloads/steps anyway so meh)....
hboot = 1.44
S-ON (hence the inability to install the new GPE 4.4 ROMs)...
So I have tried every single fix imaginable on these forums and the Internet in general... absolutely nothing has worked... trust me....
I then seen a comment from someone mentioning using Ubuntu to do it... I thought... no way, I'm not bothering, all that effort, and it'll still fail... well tell you what, via various forums, sites, fixes etc (lol) I got there in the end.
Prerequisites:
Rooted
hboot 1.44 (I haven't tested newer versions... assume you're looking here really because you had the same problems as me - test with other hboot versions at your own risk I guess)
Not sure if the version of Rom you are currently on matters, I was on 4.3 Google edition (Eragon V14), so don't ask me which to be on
Let's do the following:
1) Download Windows Ubuntu from here:
http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/windows-installer
Click "Get the Installer"
Download and save the .exe to wherever you want
2) Right click the .exe and create shortcut
3) Change the target of the shortcut (right click --> Properties) to end with the following: \wubi.exe --32bit
4) Run the installer, and just go with any defaults
5) Once rebooted in to Ubuntu we are going to download and install fastboot and adb
6) Click the Windows key, type "Terminal" and hit RETURN
7) type the following at the "command" prompt: (do not type [RETURN] <-- lol)
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8 [RETURN]
sudo apt-get update [RETURN]
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot [RETURN]
When prompted, enter the password you set up when you installed Ubuntu in the first place.
8) To confirm Fastboot now works (yes... it was that easy)
Boot your phone in to Fastboot (hold VOL DWN + Power --> Fastboot)
Connect up the phone to USB
In the terminal, type the following then press RETURN
sudo fastboot devices
You should see your device serial, confirming it is recognised by Fastboot ----
9) Now to download Rumrunner -- get the archive from the following location:
http://rumrunner.us/rumrunner_downloads/rumrunner_HTC_0.5.0.tgz
Open the download (rather than save), and extract all files to the Home/Download folder (you can just click and drag them over)
10) Now, we need to allow the "soju" file to be executed
Right click the extracted file "soju" --> go to Properties --> Permissions tab --> Tick "allow executing file as program"
Almost there.....
11) Boot the phone back up and enable USB Debugging via Developer Options
Also change display timeout to 10mins, and set screen security to None
12) Disable Fastboot where applicable (Settings --> Power --> Fast boot)
13) Now to run the Rumrunner application....
Again, within the terminal, type the following:
cd Downloads [RETURN]
(if this doesn't work, you need to navigate to the folder you extracted the "soju" file to, so the cd (change directory) DOS command works fine here)
Now type the following (once you are in the same location as "soju")
sudo ./soju
If you are ready (definitely) to start the process, now press RETURN.
14) You will be asked twice to type "Yes" exactly as displayed followed by RETURN to confirm, please do not type Yes to the warnings that will come up periodically after the script starts (if you give them a moment, you will see them continue without any input from yourself)
15) Sit back... and wait for it to complete. The process took about 20mins in total to complete on my phone... and I've now got S-OFF. If you keep getting prompted for what to do with your phone being plugged in - just press cancel to the prompts.
p.s. if this worked - please press THANKS :good:
If anyone needs any clarification, let me know, I will try and respond as soon as possible (if others could help - that would be appreciated too)
Registered here just so I could say you are awesome! Your guide worked for me after literally months of trying to get s-off for my AT&T HTC One hboot 1.55.
A couple things I had to do differently:
1. I used a ISO image of Ubuntu 12.04.3 32 bit burned to a dvd and just booted off it to the option to try Ubuntu without installing. I could not get your link to work with my Windows 7 installation.
2. Since I was not actually booting from my hard drive but rather a read only DVD, I had to do some improvising for the extracting of the rumrunner files. I put them on the desktop, but then had to search a bit to find them in order to run the soju file in terminal.
Again, thank you!

Use the ls command to see what is in the directory you are in. Use the cd command to change directories. Keep searching til you find the directory where you put the soju file. Good luck.
Does my HTC One still have to be unlocked from HTC-Dev? Thank you in advance.

By whatever means, you will need to initially be rooted. Unlocking via HTC Dev was how I got root.
Ironically this also (at the time, not sure if it's changed) doesn't work in Windows 8.1 lol and I had to root my phone using my parents laptop with Windows 7 installed.
They then upgraded to 8,1 so I couldn't use it to get S-OFF later on.

I finally got s-off on my att htc one. Was pretty much trying the same thing as OP stated here, but had some difficulties with other things.
1. OP's instructions didn't work for latest ubuntu (13.10)
2. Had linux mint installed on my pc, but it was 64bit.. tried quite a bit to get it working there (adb and fastboot work), but rumrunner was not happy with 64bit
3. Finally tried it on Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS 32 bit and everything was smooth with it
One other thing to note.. I used live USB instead of installing ubuntu on my pc. had no issues, but had to use a bit older version of ubuntu and 32 bit (even tho my pc has 16Gigs of memory)
Don't know what's different, but Rumrunner worked for me - hboot 1.56, ARHD 41.0 and Windows 8.1
I'm using crouton install of Ubuntu on my chromebook and after trying to install adb and fastboot I get:
E: Unable to locate package android-tools-adb
E: Unable to locate package android-tools-fastboot
Any ideas guys? I really want s-off! Any help would be appreciated!

Sounds like the location of those packages has changed? Unless the reason it isn't working is because of the version of Ubuntu you're on. Hmm.

I have a Nokia Lumia 535 OS win10. I want to know how to unlock its bootloader and install custom roms in it.I also want to know how to enable usb debugging in my device because its not detected by the adb devices command in cmd when i connect my device to the pc.And also when i connect it using wconnect.exe usb(using a usb cable) and after I enter the pairing key I always get an error which says"Bootstrapping the device(error code 8) so i am not able to connect it to the pc install android apps on it.(I have already downloaded the required files and extracted in into a folder and I have already changed the cmd directory to that folder).I have searched the forum but I did not find anywhere how to fix this error code 8,i,i,bootstrapping the device.
Any help would be appreciated.
Many Many Thanx in advance.
i think Microsoft had stooped working on android in there lumias phone.so lets wait maybe in the next update they will make an easy method to make android apps working on lumias phone with win10.
Hello All!
I was disappointed when I received my Huawei Mate SE BND-L34 (USA) 2 days ago that I could not unlock the bootloader because Huawei removed the unlock page from their website. Even after talking to support via live chat and email I could not get any help from them. So I decided to do my own research.

Getting your Unlock Code:
1. First you need to go to https://www.dc-unlocker.com/ and register for an account. Do not download their software!
2. Instead download the software at https://hcu-client.com/
3. Install drivers via HiSuite if you have not.
4. View the supported devices page. Now the Mate SE is not listed as a supported device but it did work for my device (Mate SE).
5. Make sure your drivers are installed via HiSuite.
6. Now go into https://www.dc-unlocker.com/buy and buy 4 credits. This is needed for the software. Cost is 4 EUR ($5)
7. Launch HCU-Client and connect your phone.
8. Open the dialer on your phone and enter *#*#2846579#*#* select “Background settings”, “USB ports settings”, “Manufacture mode”.
9. Now in HCU Client log into your account (Check your Email for info) click Read Phone Info.
10. Go to Unlock tab and choose Read Bootloader code. It says it will wipe your device but mine did not get wiped until I unlocked my phone. This will take a couple of minutes. Watch the right terminal window. It should spit out your code.
Using your Unlock Code:
1. Turn off your phone, Boot your device into Fastboot mode with Vol down and power button.
2. CD to where you downloaded ADB/Fastboot Tools
Run these commands when inside ADB tools directory
a) fastboot devices. (your device should bee listed. If not reinstall drivers/reboot)
b) fastboot oem get-bootinfo (just to confirm everything is detected correctly
c) fastboot oem unlock <your_unlock_code>
3. Acknowledge the prompt on your phone. Device will be WIPED!
4. Once the wipe finishes it will take several minutes for phone to boot up. Do not panic. Once you See Huawei logo you are OK!

The tool is safe. It's a false positive. If you are unsure Go read the HCU-Client forums.
Its your decision but I haven't noticed any ill effects. You can always run it in a VM.
Ok. Thanks

Stupid program won't run on my computer. Saw someone else on the dc-unlocker forums with the same problem. They linked a version to download but the link is dead now. I think this phone really wants to be returned.

You can try DC-locker instead of HCU-Client. I just find HCU easier to use.
Are u on Windows 10? If not make sure you have latest. NET Framework installed. Try running in compatibility mode.

Yes, Win 10. DC-unlocker link in the Android app shows 7x BND-L34 as compatible but it's not in the drop-down box of the Windows app and doesn't get autodetected .

Yea only thing I can think of is make sure latest .Net framework is installed and latest Visual C. Maybe try compatibility mode
The DC-unlocker problems were my fault. After getting the drivers right, it detected my phone and pulled the unlock code.

Logged into this account for the first time in YEARS just to say thanks a lot for this. I was pretty gutted when I found that Huawei removed their Unlock link and refused to give codes to anyone even via support emails.
I was super hesitant to try this though, I'll admit. Spending money on what (to me) looked like a shady site was the biggest red flag. But decided to bite the bullet and do it.
The only issue I had was that my phone DID get shut down after the bootloader code was read, which caused ADB not to be able to read my phone (adb devices) for some reason. So I had to turn it on, reboot fastboot via adb and then proceed from there. But that was the only issue I had.
So again, thanks a ton for this. :good:
Got problems making this work. Hope you don't mind helping an Android newbie.
Step 7 is to "start client". On Windows 10 I had to disable the virus scan just to see the HCU.exe from the extract. When I click on it I get "This application was unable to start correctly 0xc150002". Ideas? A previous step is to install drivers. I downloaded HiSuite and and made sure I could connect to my device. Does "installing drivers" mean something more ? Thanks.

Nope you are good on the drivers. Nothing else to be done.
As for the error code I recommend disable your Anti-virus and the built in Windows Defender and then re-downloading the program. If it still doesn't work you can try the DC-unlocker program instead of HCU-Client. It should work I just have only used HCU-CLIENT.

Finally got my unlock code! Many thanks to Sandman-007 and foltz61 for their help.
Following instructions from #1 of this thread, I could not (like others here) get the hcu client working on my PC. So here are my instructions on using DC-unlocker instead:
1. Go to consumer.huawei.com / minisite / HiSuite_en/
Download HiSuite. Install it on PC. Connect Phone to PC. In HiSuite click connect to my device.
(May have to enter Developper Mode on Phone: Settings>About Phone>Tap 7 times on your Build number. Enable USB debugging.)
2. Go to www .dc-unlocker .com / buy
Item : New user account, User name you want, Your email, Credits: 4
They will send you a email with a username and password you will need later ...
3. Go to www .dc-unlocker .com / downloads
Download DC-unlocker client to PC. Install it.
4. With Phone still connect to PC, use phone dialer enter *#*#2846579#*#*
Select “Background settings”, “USB ports settings”, “Manufacture mode”.
5. Now start the dc-unlocker client on the PC.
Enter: Huawei Phones (not modems) + Auto Detect + Click Search Icon. You will then see some on your phone info.
6. Click on "Server" and enter your username and password from the email you got at step 2.
7. Click on "Unlocking" + Read Boodloading code. Voila! Copy paste your code somewhere safe!
After giving me my code, my phone shut down. I just re-started it and all was fine.
(To get a better idea, the youtube video v=Lgph755EbKEcovers steps 4 to 7.)
I just did some searching, in my backup images. And I found the unlock code inside the "splash2.img"
/dev/block/mmcblk0p19
Still looking into possible ways to read this from inside the phone, and from locked phone too.
NVM, I think splash2.img is just some type of log file
Is there any other way to get the bootloader unlock code? I tried to buy credits and they refunded me because my paypal is not verified.
Or does anybody out there have a license and would be willing to run my IMEI to get my code? I am at a loss of what else to do.

Why don't you just verify your PayPal or use a credit card?
Someone can't just run your IMEI to get an unlock code. Only way is if they reprogram their device to use your IMEI. That's illegal.
You should NEVER under any circumstances just hand it out. Especially with this tool. Someone with this tool could steal your IMEI and knock you offline.
