This works great for EU DHD phones, process takes approx 3-4 minutes with a up to date PC (i7 w/SSD disk o.l.)

jeetje103, you need HTC sync driver correct installed or install SDK Tools (will install USB driver for you). Sound like no driver installed...

hi to all

I'm sorry your discussion unterbreche.Ich a problem here, I would like my HD Advanced Ace Hack Root Kit. Only problem is: I am familiar with the program is insufficient and does not open with me. Why? I must still do what?
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
Eash time the hack-ace script is run, it refreshes the pass key. Make sure you are not looking at the key from a previous run.

Hi,

I want to switch in the magical world of custum ROM.

There is few months, i created my goldcard with another tools (UMT), but I never used her.

Is it possible to use the same card for hack my DHD with the Kit. The old data will be erase ?

Thanks for reply

DHD branded (Bouygues), S-ON, with the last official rom
[Desire HD Android Development] littlewonder:
Thanks for this tool, worked very well..There is only one thing I am not sure about. Is it now possible to flash a newer radio if there is not Eng s -off ? I've seen so many forums and threads with different opinions and it made me very confused about what I need and don't need for flashing the radio..I am after this one Radio_12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19_M as it is recommended to use with AR HD 6.1.3 and I am experiencing high battery drain and poor signal coverage with my current 12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M stock UK T-mobile radio using ROM mentioned above..

Sorry for noob question a thanks again for this fantastic kit..
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
If your USB port is defective then I would be getting that remedied rather than trying to hack the device. To answer your question, no, there is no apk.
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
Yes, you can use the same SDCard provided there is no boot sector data corruption and no - there will be no data loss - provided there is no corruption. Those are not always obvious issues.

Yes, of course you can flash a radio without Eng s-off. The best way is to pack a PD98IMG.zip and flash it in HBOOT. The radios in the hack kit are packed properly for flashing. Check your radio md5sum before and after packing to make sure it is what it's supposed to be and make sure it's an ACE radio.
[Desire HD Android Development] littlewonder:
Thanks for quick answer..Should I be worried about RIL files? And is this what you talking about? rootzwiki.com/topic/2596-radio-htc-desire-hd-radios-pd98imgzip-updated-7-sept-2011/ ...I am not sure if HBOOT is installed on my phone as only thing I did was downloading AAHK and running it..Could you please tell me what to do next? Install Hboot, then download the radio and flash it? Is that correct? Thanks in advance your help is much appreciated..
[Desire HD Android Development] chiktyp:
Thanks for your answer, I will try to start the kit.

Just got the wife a DHD and am going to use this tool on it.

My only experience of goldcards is going back to my ordinary desire days (now have a sensation:) ) were certain brands of sd cards could be used as goldcards but other brands would not work.

Is this still the case using this tool??

[Desire HD Android Development] robboy:
Okay sorry for any stupid questions. Basically I'm trying to unlock my girlfriends DHD only just realized its network locked, we go on a 24 hour flight to OZ in about 4 hours.

I have entered the pass key and have been able to hit the magic "1" button install. However I get to Exploiting device part then this is what happens:

Patching and backing up partition 17

Starting update process.......

<waiting for device>

Any ideas? nothing has happened for 20mins.

Either your fastboot driver is not installed properly or you have a process or program interfering with it.

[Desire HD Android Development] evangelism:
used on one DHD, works

same folder, using on another DHD, same version, karnel or rom all same. But failed

now i`m stuck on HTC screen with white background. Able to go into fastboot, but Sign-on, cant really do much.

try to go into Recovery, But showing a phone logo with "!" on it. Looks like recovery corrupt

helpless.... looking for advice..

thanks!
[Desire HD Android Development] fbw.sw:
i ****ing love this one :-)

never rooted a dhd that fast before!!

thx a lot :eek:
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
Restart the phone and let it go to the white background, then restart the hack kit. There is some marginal USB driver/contention situation there.
[Desire HD Android Development] tae_254:
Sorry for the stupid question. I'm trying to root my inspire using ubuntu. I read the WHOLE effen-manual. When i get to the step to enter the pass key, i click on the cajun.txt link but all it says is nice try.. ive restarted my computer and phone and it does the same thing. Can some one point me in the right direction please. Thank you.
[Desire HD Android Development] Mickey690:
Quick question does this work on the Telus DHD in Canada as I know it's a bit of a funny device.

If it's unconfirmed and I try it will it brick the phone or just tell me it cant be done.

Thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
Yes, all ACE (DHD/Inspire) all current stock builds.
[Desire HD Android Development] Mickey690:
Thanks for this attn1

It worked without flaws on my wifes Telus DHD. Alot easier than when I did mine 2 months ago via downgrade.
[Desire HD Android Development] spikey68:
Excellent tool guys.

Thanks.
[Desire HD Android Development] nickythenoob:
Going to try this tonight.

This all sounds a little too easy, from hacking my G1 back in the day (which was a ***** when the root first came out) I am a little concerned that this does look to easy... but ill let you know how it goes this evening!
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
It's only easy if your PC runs well, there is nothing wrong with your SDcard, drivers are properly installed, and there is nothing contentious running.

That I cannot control.
[Desire HD Android Development] nickythenoob:
Ok it was crazy easy...

For noob notes, I would put in that you need to install the drives (found in the files) for htc first and that the have to 'right click' to paste the key because ctrl+v no work. Other that that it was amazing!

This was crazy easy to do. Thank you!!!

Finally getting what I should out of my phone! Its such a same that htc, Sony etc... Don't support phones the way they should... But I think that a whole other forum post :P

Thank you so much for this!
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
It does say to install drivers first. Did you miss it?

I really don't care to cater to users that don't even know how to cut and paste. If I have to explain that to them, then they are going to be in deep trouble at some point with a rooted Android phone.

I'm glad you found it easy.
[Desire HD Android Development] nickythenoob:
Yeah I saw and found them, its just my vast experience in customer service compelling me to make things easy. But you make a fair point, people that can not do that kinda stuff probably shouldn't be messing with root.
[Desire HD Android Development] domnic619:
thanks !!! :D worked as a charm
[Desire HD Android Development] Henka85:
hi. really nice work with the hack kit.

but something did fail with my handset.

the hack kit ran till the end and said everything was completed at my desire HD with t-mobile branding and stock 2.3.3. Sense.

then after rebooting it got stuck at the t mobile splash, so the stock room didnt boot anymore after the process.

i can still access fastboot and bootloader, it says :

ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-0.85.0024

MICROP-0438

RADIO-26.03.02.26_M

eMMC-boot

also, i can access clockworkmod recovery 4.0.1.4. but every rom i flash gets stuck at the t-mobile splash screen (i tried various sense roms aswell as cyanogen)

additionally, sometimes neither the bootloader nor the recovery accepts the input via volume and power button.

is it safe to run the hack kit again, or did i do something wrong in the process ?

what is the recommended "setup" ? insert sim or not, clean sd without ext partition ?

thank you.

*EDIT*

to sort things out : i waited ~ 15-20 mins on every t-mob splash to make sure it really doesnt boot.

coming from htc magic and desire and having successfully rooted both of them, the "differences" to desire HD kind of confuse me.

do ALL custom roms need S-OFF for the Desire HD ?

do ALL custom roms need a particular radio to work which hasnt been flashed during the aahk process ?

i hope these questions/problems arent too noobish that nobody goes "kickban" on me or something.
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
Stop in the IRC channel in my sig and we'll get you sorted out.
[Desire HD Android Development] irishbogman:
Works very well with 2.3.3, just a point to note, would not install until I found out that I had set the default connection type to Disk Drive, needless to say when I manually set the connection to Charge only during the update process it reverted to disk drive when the device rebooted

:rolleyes:
[Desire HD Android Development] qtype:
rooted my phone a couple of weeks ago and everything is working excellent!!!

thanks a lot for the hack.

just one question...

can you tell me what is the best way to update my RADIO and RIL so I wouldn't brick my phone???

I read some posts but they didn't work for me..

maybe it is because my phone after using this hack is not ENG S -OFF???
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
No, it's not ENG S-OFF, but that's not required to flash radios.

It's best to pack radios in a PD98IMG.zip and flash them that way.

an easy way to flash them from the command line after the hack kit completes is to put the phone in Fastboot USB mode. Then:

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip PD98IMG.zip

fastboot reboot

Look in tools/radios for examples of properly packed radios in PD98IMG.zip files.
[Desire HD Android Development] qtype:
thanks for the help but I would need a little bit more help if possible...

sorry in advance if I'm posting this in the wrong thread, but I got the following message as you can see it from my screenshot when I tried to flash a radio..

what does it mean?

edit: I also get this second screenshot message after I tried the way you suggested I should update the radio... maybe I'm packing the radio.img in the PD98IMG.zip folder the wrong way???
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
The first screenshot failed because you tried to flash using the method requiring eng bootloader. You don't have one, and flashing one just to flash radios and recovery is beond silly.

The second failed because the PD98IMG.zip you were trying to flash was most definitely not in the directory/folder where you executed the command from. This has nothing to do with how it's packed. You never got that far. Did you put it on the sdcard? That's another method entirely.

Once it is, and your radio is packed correctly and there are no sdcard issues it should flash.
[Desire HD Android Development] sagarjawaress:
Stuck at Recovery 4.01

+1, im stuck at recovery too. What to do now?? I have s-on and can go to bootloader and recovery!:(
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
Have you tried getting the ruu you was on before and hooking up your phone to pc then run the ruu via pc it may put it back on or brick your phone but it must be the one you was using before you got to the point your at now

Example t-mobile ruu 1.75 orange ruu 1.84

If you want to attempt this then that is your choice if your phone gets bricked its not my fault it is just an idea

I ran it once before when I got stuck but that was when it first came out it also wiped out the root as well and it was like I just got the phone

Maybe its worth an attempt please pm if you need anymore info or help I will do what I can

[Desire HD Android Development] sagarjawaress:
Hello Sir, i cannot redo the whole process as i cannot enable usb debugging. Where am i supposed to download RUU?
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
Wrong. Safest way is RUU style - PD98IMG.zip. Put the file on the sdcard and flash it from hboot. No USB coms to fail. If the md5 of the hboot is correct in the zip and the md5 of the zip is correct on the sdcard, it just does not get safer than that. No ENG hboot required.

Further, Eng hboot is a downgrade that royally screws up Inspires shipped with Gingerbread. They stop booting properly, the eng hboot feature does not work once they do, RUUs no longer process, and it takes over 15 minutes for the ROM to begin booting. It's a PIA to fix, and I have fixed dozens remotely. This happens on GB shipped Inspires with ANY froyo hboot, not just the ENG hboots. It's fine on those shipped with Froyo. I suspect if there are DHD's shipped with 2.50.405.2/hboot_7230_Ace_0.85.0024_110411.nb0 or newer, those owners will find themselves in the same jam.

PD98IMG.zip looks and works just like an RUU. It safe enough for HTC to distribute firmware that way, and with care and radio s-off, it's certainly plenty safe to flash radios without ENG hboot.
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
Come to the IRC channel in my sig and I'll help you sort it out.
[Desire HD Android Development] qtype:
I got that the first screenshot method was wrong.

and where I've made the mistake on the second screenshot, also.

But now I got the next mistake... this is I belive due to the packing.

I can try to run it with the SD card method, if it's not a problem for you to explain it to me or tell me where I can find more info on that
[Desire HD Android Development] sagarjawaress:
Sir can you provide PD98IMG.zip?

edit:Thanx for help. Solved all! Friends if you have problem same as me then please do not wipe data in recovery. Also shutdown processes so that the installation goes well. Mine droid explorer was running!!

I would like to make donation but i am just a kid,dunno how to do that. Any help?
[Desire HD Android Development] qtype:
which radio did you use in your PD98IMG.zip?
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
The eng s-off tried tested and never failed it was the only way at the START not now there are different ways now but for a noob who just got DHD and does not know what an md5 hash is or how to check it can and will run in to trouble as the forum is DHD not inspire the downgrade method is a simple way of doing it without having to flash something you didn't know you was suppose to check. Now I have a vid on youtube linked on my thread with over 222k views its been on there half the time the thread was started and its still climbing so even though you may have to downgrade it works flawless

There is no need to bash the stuff that was created at the start that were the stepping stones to what we have now

Peace out

[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
Nothing is flawless.

ENG boot is not good for new Ace's

shipped

with Gingerbread. Any Froyo hboot downgrade messes them up. Flashing the Froyo downgrade RUU messes them up.

Flashing ENG Hboot is not necessary - making flashing it silly for the average user IMO. Since that is my opinion, the fact that it is my opinion is not up for debate, and not going to change.

Properly packaged PD98IMG files prevent flashing something not intended for the device.

Radios can be prepackaged, md5s of the hboot double checked after extraction by those more initiated to the process. They are perfectly safe to flash - as safe as any other method.

Eng Hboot has NEVER been required to flash radios on ACE - even in the "early days".

Ace Hack Kit has been around for a while too. It too, is proven.

This radio flash method has been around before the HTC DHD was ever released. It's not new, and it's also proven.

All said and done, if the device is shipped with Froyo, the user is careful and does his homework, applying the ENG hboot properly should do no harm.
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
Correct, it's not packed correctly.

If you come into the IRC channel in my sig, I can help you get it packed correctly. The flasher is not finding the android-info.txt file in the zip. It needs to be in the zip along with the radio image you are trying to flash.

Steps:

Check the md5 of your radio.

zip the radio.img, android-info.txt and optionally rcdata.img together into a zip file called PD98IMG.zip.

Extract the radio from the zip and check again the md5.

make sure there is no folder containing the files in your PD98IMG.zip - they should be in the top level directory.

example of andoid-info.txt for both Inspire and DHD:

modelid: PD9812000
modelid: PD9810000
cidnum: 11111111
mainver: 1.80.502.3

If your modelid is not in the list above, add it.

you can get it like this: fastboot getvar modelid
[Desire HD Android Development] joe9002:
My DHD was shipped with 2.3.3 and i used the hack kit +ENG hboot and i have no problems with booting.

The hack kit is an amazing peace of software thats helped a lot of people worldwide adding the ENG hboot is needed for advanced users and if you read the thread on ENG hboot its simple enough to return to the original hboot.

Now im just waiting for the day i need to return to stock due to failed GPS chip, faulty screen or some other DHD manufacturing fault, so i can see how this hack kit returns s-on with the ENG hboot.
[Desire HD Android Development] qtype:
couldn't catch you on the IRC channel... must be the time difference...

anyway, I took the android-info.txt from your tools/radio folder...didn't took the rcdata.img because I don't know can it be the same or must I change it somehow and you said I can do without it...

Checked the md5 of my radio, zip them in a file called PD98IMG.zip, extracted the radio from the zip and checked again the md5. the md5 is the same.

I've also changed the modelid as per your instructions.

The andoid-info.txt that I took from your folder has no cidnum. why is that? is that correct or should it write it as you said before?

Do I have to change the mainver number or leave it as you wrote before ''mainver: 1.80.502.3''? If I have to change it how can I found out what it is?
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
Eng Hboot has NEVER been required to flash radios on ACE - even in the "early days".

Erm totally wrong it was required at the start of the dhd

Also even in your own thread people having problems not knowing how to pack stuff right for some one new with basic to no basic knowledge packing a radio ain't that simple with sound of it

Like I said don't bash other peoples work you are being nothing but arrogant about it

[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
Not bashing anything - just stating facts - and my opinion. You're the one bashing.

And with radio s-off, it's been possible to flash radios to DHD from day one. You just did not know how.

The arrogance seems to be all yours. I am not out trolling up your thread.
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
With s-off, mainver can be anything, as long at it is in the correct format. Same for CID.

Modelid must be correct.
[Desire HD Android Development] joe9002:
Sorry I did not take note of what hboot it came with what I can tell you the phone was a replacement shipped to the UK brand New with the latest ruu , I ran your hack kit then ran the eng hboot tool with no problems at all.

I do have my original hboot saved on my sd card.
[Desire HD Android Development] qtype:
THANKS A LOT!!!!

I finally made it work!!!

If you whish, I could write a step-by-step quide how to update radio after using your hack... at least with everything I had to do and all of the useful links I found on my way...ofcourse, you would need to revise it ;-)

you could put it on the first post and evoid further questions on this matter and help all other xda users with this problem...
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
Glad you got it done. It's not so hard, right?

Preparing the zip is simple, and there are two ways to flash it safely. One uses fastboot USB and the other hboot.

Come into the IRC channel in my sig and we can discuss when you are ready to post something.

[Desire HD Android Development] kingsti:
phone stuck on htc boot logo

HI - Can anyone help me please. I cannot boot my phone - it stays on the htc logo. :( It has S-OFF, I can get into clockwork recovery, and I can flash custom roms but the phone will not boot into the rom it just comes up and stays on the htc logo.

The story so far was that I ran the hack tool using ubuntu live CD. All went well and I used the phone for a few hours. Next I restored my apps and data using Titanium backup and after that ran the 4EXT recovery control in the apps list. I think that's where the problem started as it crashed and the phone then continued to crash each time I go into the app drawer. I would have to reboot every time.

I thought I'd re-run the hack tool which I did, but after downgrading the radio and it said - rebooting phone - but the phone would not reboot. I reran the hack and it got to the same point and would not reboot.

Since then I've reflashed clockwork recovery manually using fastboot, reformated my memory card to 16gb FAT32 only (using gparted) reflashed my original radio and an RIL. I can get into clockwork recovery and as far as I can see everything looks fine, and I've tried to flash funzymede rom, Cyanogen nightly build rom but after flashing the phone just boots to the htc logo and hangs.

I've ran out of ideas now - can anyone help :confused:
