[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ToneyEricsson:
Hi mate - if you have rooted 2.2 and have s-off just downloaded the official

RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.36.405.8_R_Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2_release_187331_signed.exe from here

http://www.iloveabath.co.uk/index.php?dir=RUUs/

Run it connected to your DHD with usb debugging enabled in charge only mode and that will update you to the latest official 2.36.405.8 Gingerbread.

Then you want to get the Gingerbreak .apk from here

http://www.iloveabath.co.uk/index.php?dir=Tools/Gingerbreak/

Put the Gingerbreak .apk on your SD card and use something like Astro file manager to install that .apk and root your DHD - now you have the latest 2.36.405.8 Gingerbread rooted and still have S-OFF.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkoljo:
Let me just underline that it has to be Radio S-OFF, ENG S-OFF will not work.

Trying to Root my phone from 2.3.3 as ToneyEricsson was.

SDK location is C:\SDK

Installed Packges shown as:

Google USB Driver Package, revision 4

Android Compatibility package, revision 2

I have backed up my 32Gb Card.

My phone is set to Charge and USB debugging is enabled

PD98IMG.zip is on the root ofmy 32Gb Card

Ive downloaded Download_v2.zip from (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=905003) and extracted it to C:\Downgrade

I then run the following commands from the CMD prompt:

C:\Downgrade>adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp

C:\Downgrade>adb push GingerBreak /data/local/tmp

C:\Downgrade>adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version

C:\Downgrade>adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/GingerBreak

C:\Downgrade>adb shell

I then getthe $ prompt, so my next command is

$./data/local/tmp/GingerBreak

This gives the same results as TohneEricsson

IT IS SO EASY AND U CAN DO IT
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pootsy:
So what am I doing wrong? Do I need a Goldcard, even if I'm not going to put on a Stock ROM?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
A Goldcard is not needed at this stage.

A couple of things to try, perform a full factory reset on your phone & try using a different SDCard, ensure you perform a full (not quick) format.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pootsy:
Hmmmm.

My Software version is 2.36.161.12. Is this too hig to be rooted yet? Maybe thats the problem????
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
No, your software version should be fine. GingerBreak does not work on firmware greater than 2.36

Your particular firmware indicates you will need a goldcard though. That is purely for flashing the PD98IMG.zip and will not affect this particular issue.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pootsy:
Thanks Andy!

I'll crack on with that first of all then!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pootsy:
OK,

Got to the stage where {Dance alone my lonely one!] and the # prompt appeared. Typed in the next 2 command lines as instructed and rebooted holding the Vol- button.

On reboot got the HBOOT screen which eventually said something about a CID Incorrect

If I try to temproot again I get Cannot copy Boomsh : Permission Denied.

HELP!:eek:
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ToneyEricsson:
Something that was messing me up was that I didn't have Platform-tools in my Android sdk which needs the adbwinapi.dll file

Check to see if you have this file adbwinapi.dll in Platform-tools in your Android sdk.

If so then the Command line instructions should then work.

Something else I did was put the Downgrade folder in the same folder as my Android sdk in Platform-tools just purely so its easy to direct to in command line i.e Android-sdk>Platform-tools>Downgrade

and then ran the command line instructions

I hope this helps!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pootsy:
Here is a screen shot of what I receive this morning.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pootsy:
Made a second Goldcard and performed the same steps and got the same answer. Permission Denied. So it seems the problem lies with the version og Gingerbreak that is stored in the bootloader.

Doesthis mean the phone has been perm rooted? The version is still 2.36.161.12 so I don't think it has been.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pootsy:
Recreated GoldCard AGAIN and now its parsing....[SD.ZIP]

Fingers Crossed

Update complete!

Thank Toney and Andy!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ToneyEricsson:
Nice one glad you got it sorted!

Can just use root checker app from the market to see if you have root.

By the way if you are all sorted now and have Radio S-OFF, instead of using Gingerbread I would seriously recommend having a good look at the TB Fusion3d rom as it simply rocks and is based on 2.3 Gingerbread but way better! My personal preference with roms is stock like but this is much better, has the sense 3.0 lock ring etc etc and all bugs in htc's 2.3 update are gone like WiFi issues etc there's none of that in TB Fusion or TB Fusion3d the newer being built on the previous. I'm sure anyone would be very happy with it and its certainly a million times better than stock.

See you in development thread ;)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TungstenE2:
Hi all,

thanks for all your hints, but i am still struggeling with my Desire HD.

I have version: 2.36.207.16

Tried several times exactly as described here. also downloaded the JDR and Andriod SDK. Also created several times teh gold card.

I run the following commands from the CMD prompt:

Same here, please help!!!!!!!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
Boot into bootloader, and perform a factory reset, reboot, skip setup & try again.

Be sure to enable USB debugging again.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ToneyEricsson:
Because I didn't have Platform-tools downloaded in the Android SDK was messing me up. Check to see if you have it^

I wish the downgrade guide was made better and specifically to what you need to do. I questioned this and was told do I need instructions on how to turn my pc on as well. No it would of just made it clearer the steps to do. Prior to this I haven't downgraded a phones software before as I'm sure many people haven't.
[Defy General] Homesicktexan:
I had a defective speaker and just received my warranty replacement. Can I just root with one click root and then nandroid restore a nandroid backup of my CM7 from my old phone, or do I need to start from scratch? Thanks.
[Defy General] pkryger:
I'd start from scratch. Seeing so many people having problems while installing this sounds like a good idea. Then just restore your apps and settings from TiBu (assuming you have one).

If you choose otherwise, please let its know how did iit go.
[Defy General] Ricardo_Is:
I had no success with restore by nandroid backup of CM7 Beta 6.

So, i start from scratch.

About apps, i always make restore with Titanium backup app.

[Focus General] ramseyjack:
I have 2 of the Samsung Focus, and both at times, do not sound when the daily alarm goes off. Volume on high, and get the screen notification, just no sound. Reboot the phone and back to normal. Anyone else experience this?
[Focus General] Nebor:
Yes, I have experienced this frequently. This caused me to buy an actual alarm clock (Sony Dash) after a decade of using cell phones instead. Ridiculous that such a simple feature isn't reliable.
[Focus General] jfreiman:
I am having the same issue with the alarm not sounding.

I thought it "was just me" until I read this post.

Hope it gets resolved/addressed soon.
[Focus General] Nebor:
I'm still having this issue occasionally. Sometimes I wake up before my phone alarm, and I can watch the screen come on, with the alarm notification, but no sound.
[Focus General] tekbrain:
Dangerous not reliable feature...
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
I have never experiencing this. My Focus is rev 1.3

I had the original AT&T ROM, 7004

Upgraded to 7008

Upgraded to 7390

Upgraded to 7392

Reflashed Rogers rom, 7004

Upgraded to 7008

Upgraded to 7392

Reflashed AT&T Rom, 7004

Upgraded to 7008

Upgraded to 7392

In between all upgrades I had time to test various features (including alarm) and in some cases it stayed for several days.

I never experienced the alarm not to ring, except when it was on vibrate (Instead of vibrate+ring).

All who experienced this, can you please provide some info on your hw/sw config? Maybe this affects specific hw, or lots, and could be useful for others to know as well, or at least be aware.
[Focus General] adiliyo:
i have also never (knock on wood) had the alarm not sound. it's been very reliable for me so far.

on mango 7712 now, but worked on 7004 and nodo as well
[Focus General] TIGGAH:
This is more than likely the problem. My GF hits the vibrate only button ALL the time on her Focus. Then you get no alarms, rings or alerts..

I had done it once myself then once I figured out what I did I ensure I don't hit the vibrate only button.
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
There's no button for vibrate. You have to press vol up/down and then on top right you get to tap the screen to switch between vibrate and vibrate+ring.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Charlie3999:
Ok guys I really need your help. I messed up flashing my ZTE Blade and because I did things in the wrong order. Here's what I did:-

1. I upgraded gen1 to gen 2

2. I then wiped data/factory reset without flashing clockworkmod recovery.

3. The phone then rebooted and stayed on the green man screen and thats it.

4. I managed to finally find a clockworkmod that would work v3.0.1.4 none of the others came on, it just stayed at the green man screen.

5. I try flashing and all it say's:-

Install from sd card

Finding update

opening update

E:Can't open/sdcard/update.zip

(no such file or directory)

Installation aborted.

I did another phone at christmas and that worked fine because I did it in the right order. But I do remember when I flashed the clockworkmod it was green and upsidedown, but I can't find one that does that now.

alternatively, from from the quick menu via the sides, hit the bookmark and it'll be on the upper right of the bookmark screen
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rio911:
yes, enable the quick access menu from the Settings of the stock browser. That will give you buttons like: forward&back&reload, bookmarks, new tab, etc. Basically if you open a new tab that will have your home page.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marinierb:
File Manager HD or ES File Explorer.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcm_rx7:
In order to mount the network drive or folder you need to root and use cifs manager. It is also built in to the Prime roms. I have a lot of pictures and a lot of game roms I store on my NAS and I mount that drive using Cifs manager.

I used ES File explorer for the few days I wasn't rooted.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PublicJohnDoe:
I recommend File Expert and its SMB plugin - which has the added bonus of streaming via SMB, while ES Explorer for example tries to copy movies to its internal storage before playing them...

Can someone post the link to the File Expert SMB plug-in, I can not find it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marinierb:
File managers are exactly that. If you want to stream, use UPnPlay along with MoboPlayer.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcm_rx7:
I remember trying File Manager HD when I first got my TF. I ended up sticking with File Explorer ES (I think it worked better with my Samba share). I just tried out FM HD again, and wow, so much better. The UI is great, beats out the stock manager by a lot too.

That would be hard! I'd probably have to use Adobe Flash and for each keyframe take a picture of it 115 times xD.

So, it'd be like me making a Flash animation first, but the way boot animations work is image by image, so each second of the animation, I'd have to take a screenshot of, crop it, and save it =P.
