Title: Downgrading the bootloader of ROKR E1 to 07D0
Post by: Exploited on August 02, 2007, 01:45:22 am
The following FlashBackup files can downgrade your ROKR E1 bootloder from 0A.02 to 07.D0. Thanks to Random

Advantages: You can flash any E398 monster pack after that

Usage:

1) Backup your data, because everything will be lost
2) Use flashbackup to flash the "BOOT_0A02_to_07D0_step1". After this step the phone will boot in special boot mode
3) Flash the "BOOT_0A02_to_07D0_step2" file.
4) Now you can flash any Monsterpacks designed for E398@E1. Everything will work properly, including the itunes key!

why ROKR user want downgrade to E398?
and E398 user want upgrade to ROKR?

i think E398 BootLoader is better than ROKR.. just guess. lol


Title: Re: Downgrading the bootloader of ROKR E1 to 07D0
Post by: motomaniacs on August 02, 2007, 08:41:27 pm
it's the Bootloader Of Real ROKR that they downgraded from 0A.02 To 07.D0
Because it is more safety you can backup your phone and restoring back the backup

Post by: Jithin on August 03, 2007, 07:03:18 am

Post by: Exploited on August 03, 2007, 11:48:15 am

Your on step 2 now, Flash the last downgrade (in downgrade zip) file then 42r_for_all (full) and your done


Title: Re: [E1] Downgrade ROKR Bootloader from 0A.02 to 07.D0
Post by: prasasti on January 04, 2008, 07:29:29 am
I dont think the '42r_for_all' is needed in downgrade ROKR bootloader.
But in upgrading E398 to ROKR, yes its needed.


Title: Re: [E1] Downgrade ROKR Bootloader from 0A.02 to 07.D0
Post by: devarshi84 on January 04, 2008, 07:32:41 am
I did send the second file to the phone. It also processes the file but somehow the application doesnt finish successfully.


Title: Re: [E1] Downgrade ROKR Bootloader from 0A.02 to 07.D0
Post by: prasasti on January 04, 2008, 07:50:10 am
U succeed on the first file did u, then u should so on the second file.
Maybe ur second file is corupt, try to get another one.


Title: Re: [E1] Downgrade ROKR Bootloader from 0A.02 to 07.D0
Post by: devarshi84 on January 04, 2008, 07:51:28 am
I got the file from e398mod.

Where else can I get the file?

any other way to atleast get the phone working? The software hasnt saved backups.

I can do with ROKR Only MP.

The one in his sig is corrupt. Maybe that is the problem. Does anybody have a good file?


Title: Re: [E1] Downgrade ROKR Bootloader from 0A.02 to 07.D0

Yes it IS needed, I've done it many times before, Otherwise you get SW not found


No there isnt any other way to get it working other then flash the secons step, Use another program for the job RSD works a treat (as always)


Title: Re: [E1] Downgrade ROKR Bootloader from 0A.02 to 07.D0

Title: Re: [E1] Downgrade ROKR Bootloader from 0A.02 to 07.D0
Post by: Jithin on January 04, 2008, 10:43:44 am
RSD Lite is a flashing program.. Its a warez and so do not ask link for that here..

Post by: devarshi84 on January 04, 2008, 11:46:59 am
ahhh! my bad. I have that prog but how can I send the two files using RSD?

or Can anybody please provide me with a good version of part 2?

or can I try to install anothe bootloader?

Post by: devarshi84 on January 04, 2008, 01:29:01 pm
Update : I read things again and again. googled again and again. I found out that flash backup and flash&backup are two different sofwares. I found the other one.

Still the same problem appears.

VILKO's Boot
07.D0

FFFF

Battery OK
Now Flash #2
USB
Trasnfer Mode






Or is this really done and waiting for me to flash the MP?

@avatar_43
I dont use '42r_for_all' when downgraded my ROKR bootloader, I just flash an MP after the process finish and it works fine.

@devarshi84
I flash the step2 file when i got that message, I dont have any other solution.


Title: Re: [E1] Downgrade ROKR Bootloader from 0A.02 to 07.D0
Post by: devarshi84 on January 05, 2008, 04:11:52 am
what happened on your screen when you flashed to step 2?

Post by: devarshi84 on January 08, 2008, 12:04:49 pm
I sent the phone to the moto service center today. The guy said he can most probably restore the phone. It's been 2 days now. What should I be expecting?

The problem as I said was most probably the second file not going through. Can the moto person do it?

I know its based on the skills but just trying to get an opinion from motohell members.


Title: Re: [E1] Downgrade ROKR Bootloader from 0A.02 to 07.D0
Post by: avatar_43 on January 08, 2008, 12:12:22 pm
... I doubt it... AFAIK you can't get back to 0A.02 once you've downgraded

Besides 07.D0 is a lot better IMO, Easier to patch

Post by: NiKSY on January 08, 2008, 01:40:31 pm
He will probably smart-clip it and you`ll get it back with 0A.02 bootloader...Probably! And I think your warranty wont count since you`ve been playing with phones software..

I think you guy didnot mention clearly about FnB

Which profile of phone (top right) should be set in
1. Before Step 1
2. then Before Step 2

Generic 4 fone w/t boot 07.D0 ?or
ROKR E1 original?

******************************

(Later after few minutes)

OK got it
very exciting

I first tried with profile ROKR E1 coz i was flashing E1
it seemed to work but didn't

Finally tried
'Gen 4 fone w/t boot ver. up to 07.D0

Work superbly and finished in 1 minute for 2 steps

Then
Just flashed normal E398@E1
Done!!!

COOL

Thanks for all of you :P
Well just try and guess!!

in fb 3
go to firmwares - select file (choose your file) - delete unnecessary cg - save as smg files - done

i hope that's helped

@ides
if you have e398, you can straight to flash it with full MP of 4xR.
if you can't flash, try to force boot it first.
about your e1, i think you have to test point, but it's very tricky.
if not test point, flash to 4xR MP but you have to edit the CG1 first. look in this forum about how to edit your CG1.

Dang! Wait! Ides... Your e398... Its R372....99R? You need to flash 42R_for_all and than you can flash any r373 MP for e398

Yes, after downgrading your BL to 07.DO you can only use MP that is made for BL 07.DO (most of E398`s MP`s are made for BL 07.DO)
