Whoops that's where i got confused, sorry about that. So is it worth having ENG S-OFF? It's for flashing roms and kernals isn't it? but then ROM manager does that so i don't see the benefit myself. Would love to know.
[Desire HD Android Development] dalanik:
I'm confused as well :)

How would I flash the kernel? I.e. it seems easiest to use "Kernel Update Utility 0.9" but it needs ENG S-Off ??
[Desire HD Android Development] marsdta:
Don't want to be a party Popper but I think the thread should get back on topic.

To flash a kernel all you need is soff. To flash a kernel you simply boot into recovery and flash. Just make sure its compatible with your rom. Personally I don't like sense so not sure which kernels work with stock rooted roms. I would read up on the sense based kernals and ask their if needed to confirm.

As to changing the boot animation, not sure how you are going about it, so can't say where the error is. I suggest you Google uot kitchen and get a flashable from there.

In regards to your previous questions/comments. Rooting the dhd has come a long way and it's as easy as rooting Samsung phones. Attn1 has done a great job into making it a simple one click solution.

For wanting to delete the bloatware that is easy as well, I personally use es file explorer and simply delete all the stuff you don't want. If you have any more question feel free to pm, so we can keep the thread from getting cluttered
[Desire HD Android Development] RED_:
You wanted to remove the HTC splash screen didn't you? Anyway to get ENG S-OFF you can use this tool that i just used: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=855403

Im planning to use this tool in a second to remove the splash screen: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=794638
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
yes, it's back up.

[Desire HD Android Development] dalanik:
Just another stupid question: If HTC comes up with any future OTA upgrade, is the device still rooted after updating?

P.S>

Just happened! They started pushing 2.3.5 with Sense 3!!!! :) :)
[Desire HD Android Development] erfannorouzi:
if you update and install a original rom you will dont root
[Desire HD Android Development] 7895123:
Tested with Desire HD

stock 2.2.1 S-off

After finish :

- Boot up in black screen (recovery mode)

- No recovery

So I must restore back stock.
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
Wrong. This is covered in the documentation. Fix your PC or use another and rerun, and the problem will rectify, unless you "reset" and wiped data.

Or if you are s-off, you can install CWM easily, then flash a kernel.

But you do not have to "restore back to stock".
[Desire HD Android Development] sirblood2002:
the kit does not work on updated htc _WWE_3.12.405.1, any idea how to s-off this

---------- Post added at 07:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:59 PM ----------

updated to HTC_WWE_3.12.405.1, how to s-off this, kit and others methods doesnt work
[Desire HD Android Development] prophet1701:
i have the same problem.... does not work after update..:(
[Desire HD Android Development] sirblood2002:
so what to do now, i cant tell i feel bad, before yesterday i would install new roms every day, now i m stuck to this :(
[Desire HD Android Development] marsdta:
Lessoned learned guys that's why you shouldn't jump the gun and install new Ota's. Always wait to make sure you can reroot or install a prerooted rom.

The ruu shouldn't have touched your soff. Atleast that was the case on previous releases. If you still have soff(verify in boatloader) you can simply install an older ruu and reroot. You could also flash cwr via pd98img method.(their is a file somewhere here on the forum made by gene Poole)

If your back to s-on your stuck until the kit can be updated
[Desire HD Android Development] sirblood2002:
thank you, but unfortunatelly s-on :(
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
I have a solution to the new update. Unfortunately, it will require a full data wipe.

Stay tuned. Testers needed - do not PM - IRC only.
[Desire HD Android Development] sirblood2002:
ok im ready for full wipe, looking forward to your solution :)
[Desire HD Android Development] fmc_2002:
i'm also ready for an full wipe. It would be the only solution for rooting and s-off an unbranded 2.3.5 DHD
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
Then stop in #aahkSupport IRC
[Desire HD Android Development] racatapum:
Hi, are you still looking for testers? I am already s-off (in s-off since january 2011), but if you need it, i can become s-on to help you...
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
Nope, been tested and those that have temproot are supported via full downgrade. Read the OP, please.
[Desire HD Android Development] goldo72:
followed instructions, but...

Hi,

I followed the instruction to root my Telus desire HD. It went through the process, then told me that it was done. Phone rebooted but is now stuck with HTC logo.

What did I do wrong and can this be fixed?

Thanks for the help.

p.s. My first attempt to root anything, so I am new.
[Desire HD Android Development] bodiaye:
I did experience similar outcome. After about six hours searching for solution, I got one. Using HBOOT, I re-installed stock rom as PD98IMG. First, you have to get to HBOOT by removing the battery and re-inserting. Then re-start by pressing power + lower Vol together. Hope this helps
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
You guys fail. You failed to bring a properly prepared PC to the party.

If you had read the hack kit OP and the Effen Manual, you would have known and could have fixed your PC issues (or used a linux 32 bit Ubuntu LIVECD), rebooted the phone and continued.

There is no need to flash an RUU, and if all of the above still fails, help is available in IRC as we're available.

We reside in the US, so no - until the IRC channel gets support from users in other timezones, so no one is normally available to help @4:00am our time.

Posts like these, with no detail about what went wrong (the cmd prompt/terminal provides a lot of information you can capture and pastebin) is just pointless bellyaching.
[Desire HD Android Development] Snooble:
Hi racatapum,

Thanks a lot for all your work.

Should I update ota?

The fix you have, does it require a downgrade?

S
[Desire HD Android Development] goldo72:
thanks

I reinstalled stock rom as PD98IMG and it worked. Thanks. Since I had lost all my data, I took the time to also flash a new ROM and my internet is faster now.

But the thing is that with the PD98IMG, my language choices do not include Canada or US, so I had to chose English (UK) and some apps use that to set my currency or maps (for GPS).

How can I add Canada in the list? Is there a way without losing all my data again or would have to restart over again?

thanks again.
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
Then you installed the wrong RUU and not the Telus one.

Help needed

Hello i got a question

i want to root mij Unbranded Desire HD

I am running the following.

Android version 2.3.5

Sense version 3.0

Build 3.12.405.1

Im not sure about one fact

Do i need to downgrade ANYTHING? or does the hack kit does this automic for me?

PLEASE HELP
[Desire HD Android Development] nteeb:
Yes. You have to run the program twice. First time it will downgrade to 2.50(and will wipe everything, so backup your apps, and data).

Running the second time, it will make the rest(root, s-off, cwm recovery).
[Desire HD Android Development] sergiu_07_07:
Can I use it if I have stock rom and S-off?(no root)

Also, isn't there a way to flash 4ext recovery instead of CWM with this tool?

Contact the OP from his signature. Please do not delete the folder where you extracted the tool setup previously bcoz it does the backup automatically and then the OP will help you further. Also please do not wipe data from recovery. Dont panic, it will be fine!!
[Desire HD Android Development] putra91:
which folder did you mean?the AAHK that we extracted to? thank God i didnt wipe data.but i did just wipe the cache.

i did clicked on the OP SIG, but when is the best time to get the support ?

are there any news concerning the DHD 3.13.161.3 version?

is there any possibility to downgrade (even with other manual ways)?

thanks

highfish
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
Of course it's not bricked. You have not done your homework. Worst case, put the phone in fastboot USB mode (note NOT fast boot in HTC Sense) and flash your ruu. Then go back to watching TV, because clearly, you should not be doing this.
[Desire HD Android Development] TomF1979:
Hi attn1.

I would say thanks for this great program. I have used it on my Desire HD and make it step by step from the effen manual and all works great :)

Only one question: Was it possible to integrate a menu point in your program to manually change the CID? Because i would like to change it to HTC__102.

With HTC__101 i cannot change the language to German. At the moment i managed this with MoreLocal2 from the Market.

Br Tom
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
You are supercid (11111111) after running the hack kit. You should be able to change your language to anything, if the rom you are running supports it.
[Desire HD Android Development] TomF1979:
OK i have forgotten to say that i have hacked a provider branded Desire HD and after the hack i choose the back to stock option in the hack kit and there is CID HTC__001.

Hi,

I am trying to root my DHD with Ace Hack. It has completed S-OFF, ROOT and Clockworkmod. However it has started updating radio, but has been stuck on waiting for device for the last half an hour. The phone itself is stuck on the HTC logo. Any advice will be very welcome. I am running Windows 7 64bit. I have stopped all virus etc and followed the manual completely.

Many thanks

Ian

P.S. would it be worth trying to run this again using a different USB port and if so, how do I go about running it again. Do I need to restart the phone or just leave it plugged in.
[Desire HD Android Development] ericute:
Have you tried asking in attn1's support IRC?

I've read elsewhere about some people who encountered the same problem. What they did was copy a ROM to the SDCard then flashed it using Clockwork Mod Recovery.
[Desire HD Android Development] gizmo001i:
Hi,

I did try the IRC without any reply, however, I did also try to flash a rom to the phone seeing as clockwork had already been installed and that did sort out the problem. I did this before I saw your reply, however it was the correct solution, so thank you very much.

Ian

[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
Hi attn1 could you please do me a favour and either point out that once using your excellent hack kit to not attempt to use my guide on how to flash a radio due to the fact the hack kit does not give eng s-off or explain in your thread how to create a flashable radio.

As I'm kinda getting fed up of repeating myself to those who have used you hack kit then tried using my guide to flash a radio and keep getting remote not allowed just cause they can't read the first post clearly stating it means they don't have ENG S-off

Be much appreciated

Cheers

Using PD98IMG.zip-format to flash radio img is the only way.It doesn't need enghboot s-off.

What you mean its the only way?:confused: ive never ever done it that way ive always done it the way i was shown by jkoljo with the tools for s-off and eng s-off created by him so PD98IMG.zip-format is not the only way
[Desire HD Android Development] nteeb:
I mean the only way if you have not eng s-off, just radio s-off.
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
lol yeah thats why i asked for it to be put in first post as people still coming and asking same question over and over in my thread

just to make it easier for people to understand who use this hack kit
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
I feel your pain. we've done it over and over again.

We'll expand the guide for the next release. ENG S-OFF (Any Froyo HBOOT downgrade) is confirmed to screw up certain DHDs shipped with certain Gingerbread builds and all Inspires shipped with Gingerbread.
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
It is for many devices shipped from the factory with later Gingerbread releases.
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
Cheers it be a good idea then for those with shipped gingerbread not to use the eng s-off root I have advised many to come back here and flash a radio via you guys

Disabled all services, device in USB debug mode with a fresh fat32 formatted SD.

Connect the phone, run the hack-ace on W7 as admin.

After few second, this message appears: "stop watching tv read the effen manual enter the pass key".

So I open the CAJUN txt file, read and write the pwd, but it's always the same: "stop watching tv read the effen manual enter the pass key"...

It´s because I hate the Vodafone crap.

Shipped that way or due to an update? Yeah, jcase has a new temproot, but it's more complex to perform. In the next day or so I'll have some instrictions posted for you to downgrade to a gb version hackable with the hack kit.

[Desire HD Android Development] highfish91:
the downgrade for 3.12.161.3 doesn't work... :(

the tool downloads the RUU, but after booting into the recovery as explained (two times) and trying to downgrade there is the error "error opening backup file"... and afterwards when HBOOT searches the .zip it throws "main version is older"

do you have a solution for this one?
[Desire HD Android Development] meeru:
Tried it on a friends DHD .. went really smooth . Everything finished under five minutes . Great work attn and co.

[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
Sorry, I read that wrong. Error opening backup file means the SDCARD was not mounted at the time. Come into the irc channel and we can sort this out.

[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
Don't go by version. HTC is notorious for making hboot changes without changing version.

Is there any advantage of using a newer hboot?I mean I can install the latest from a RUU with keeping my s-off and it's easy to flash a recovery with your tool and restore the system from a nandroid backup.I have Enghboot s-off now and a little bit confused about that as I read your advice not to use it...

Yes you can downgrade this version and unlock i too.You have to run the tool twice,choosing "1" from the Menu.The downgrade process will wipe your phone though.

No advantage, unless you want to use the new Sense3 partitions.

You misunderstood - I said don't put that bootloader on later devices SHIPPED with Gingerbread. Those shipped with Froyo should be fine to continue using the ENG hboot.

[Desire HD Android Development] Gene Poole:
The "@SIMLOCK=00" means you are, in fact, sim unlocked. I don't know anything about Orange, but if your Orange SIM is not working, then it's because of Orange and their policies, not because of the device.
