Downgraded ROM to 2.09...Have You?

Blaqdymun · #1 (**permalink**) 10-27-2007, 12:45 PM

Yeah well after experiencing:
1. Lags while texting
2. Freezing/lock ups during calls.
3. Screen not waking up.
4. Bluetooth disconnectiong
5. Having to reset phone 13 times yesterday (friend's Mogul)
6. Non functioning D-pad
7. Phone app closed but call still coming thru speaker...lol (friend's Mogul)
8. Not being able to download ringtones thru "java" application

Amongst other issues I'm sure I'm forgeting to mention, My friend and I decided to downgrade back to the 2.09 Rom because, as crazy as it sounds....IT REALLY WASN'T THAT BAD COMPARED TO 2.16! Please this new ROM F'kd up more than it fixed, yeah the new start up screen was cute but F'k that S--t! I dont need cute! I want a phone that is functional and that will do what it should for over $500 bucks. So, I now know the true meaning of BE CAREFUL OF WHAT YOU WISH FOR! Good Luck to everyone still trying to work with this update... YOU CAN HAVE IT! I won't be updating ROMS anytime soon until one of you master GEEKS come up with a HOT Banging Kitchen! Than you for allowing me to vent...I feel great now...phone is back to working at least at 80% I can at least make calls without wanting to throw this G'damn thing against a wall. Have a Wonderful day!

Oh, BTW has anyone else downgraded to 2.09?

Anyone post the new startup screen yet? It should be able to be extracted easily and put on the old rom. I am not updating (glad I held off on updating) and I want to see what it looks like.

Lots of people have downgraded.

I had 3 DSODs in the 1st 4 hours with the new ROM, and quickly went back.

WRT DSOD, a clean 2.19 install (no apps, etc.) was even worse than my original out-of-box 6700 with lots of apps installed. I didn't think that was possible!

Then you may not have downgraded correctly. Suggest:

Download a new copy of the 2.09 ROM
Hard reset
Install ROM
Hard reset

yeah the downgrade has so far eliminated the BT and freeze ups i had with 2.16 but its only been a day so far, but by now i would have had them.

Yup, I down graded, too after experiencing the lockups and dpad issues. I sent an email to Sprint support reporting the issues, but I still having gotten any kind of reply from them.

""Thank you for contacting Sprint.

Yeah wassup everybody um the friend the original poster was talking about. I yesterday had to soft reset my phone 13 time 5 of them within 1 hour. Once I got home I quickly downgraded to ver. 2.09 . Its really a shame sprint/htc would allow such a crummy rom to be released to the public. And the would be cool if someone extracted the newer sprint startup screen as that was the best thing about the rom lol. Anyway I could not be happier with my older working rom. Because bluetooth and roaming are important to me as its a necessity for where I work to use my phone.
