HTC Glacier Downgrade

You have to downgrade the phone back to 2.2.1 because this is stopping the rooting proccess of the phone

06:57:42 > BOOT LOADER: 0.89.0005

The solution to this is you will have to use ADB Commands to gain root access and at the same time allow you to change the boot loader


I have attached a PDF guide on how to do so:

in the the command its msm_rotator and not msm rotator

Hope this helps you
