sorry mate but you've got me a bit wrong there... i didn't give up on AAHK what happened : i was searching for tutorials about rooting so i found the "froyo one" at first and i downloaded the rom "btw the totorial didn't mention that the rom is froyo", but before i start that procedure i ran into the AAHK so i followed the AAHK instead since it felt way more easier and reliable,but since my phone needed a downgrade something went wrong and believe me i knew that interrupting may cause bricked phone, so i would never interrupt such process..

anyway I'm really thankful that u provided help, eventhough u got the idea of me giving up on AAHK " which didn't happen"

now for the help u provided i've got some questions cuz i got my lesson of starting without understanding 100% what i'm going into

1. "Note: All md5sums must be 2a28dcd53ea26504be9a86572a348aa1" what's this ? i mean do i get to enter the md5sums and then i should write it like this or this is something that i get through the process and if there's something wrong i'll get another value .... please explain more

2. will this solution format the device and i'll have to flash a new rom when it's finished or it'll just fix the booting problem which will make it easier to flash a stock rom or doing anything else with the device

3. when u wrote in the commands md5sums do i have to write the value that u mentioned "2a28dcd53ea26504be9a86572a348aa1" or i have to write "md5sums"

i know that i'm asking to much of help but i really need to do it right this time :)

i've got my phone in a mess and i want to get it out from it right

i'm really thankful for your help, sry again for the noobi questions

------------------------

i tired to work the first command but i got this error line:

"

2a28dcd53ea26504be9a86572a348aa1 /data/local/tmp/hboot.nb0

'2a28dcd53ea26504be9a86572a348aa1' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

"

is this normal to get... i don't know actually and i don't want to continue with the first step is wrong
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
Bull****. Nothing went wrong with the hack kit, or you would not have been able to downgrade at all. The hack kit uses an updated misc version. With older ones - no downgrade. All that was left was for you to allow the hack kit downgrade to happen, but you panicked, scrapped the hack kit and screwed up your phone with another method. Now you're back here.

I've given you all the information you need to fix your hboot problem. What you do from there is up to you. If you don't understand, do some research. None of this stuff is top secret.
[Desire HD Android Development] djolebih:
Dude seriously. The hack kit can't fail. I've personally tested it on 7 devices so far and not a single one had ANY issues.

I even did a return to stock just today and everything went fine. You must have done something to it to corrupt the process. Think back and you'll see I'm right.
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
No, he flashed a froyo RUU on a phone shipped with GB. That's all it takes.
[Desire HD Android Development] djolebih:
Yeah I just read back a few pages. Is it just me or do people these days want other people to do things for them more and more...
[Desire HD Android Development] SpiritStealer:
i know what i've done wrong and really, come on guys i'll say that it's not the AAHK that failed, it's me - but it's not my problem right now

and "attn1" really thx for the fix and sorry for my questions i asked cause i thought it'd be ok, and actually i began working but i got error at the first command "'2a28dcd53ea26504be9a86572a348aa1' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file."

and just didn't want to continue without full knowlag about what i'm going through.. i tried to google it but no good luck to find good results

I was in RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_WWE_3.12.405.1_Radio_12.65.6 0.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_225512_signed and I couldn't root my phone.

I flash RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.36.405.8_R_Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2_release_187331_signed and then everything was sooo easy.

Thank you very much!!:D
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
If you googled for more than 5 seconds, you'd find a ton of information about how md5sum works.

No one here is your mother. Grow up, take some responsibility, learn and fix your mess. You got here ignoring what I documented, so I am not so inclined to help you now. Further, I hope no one else does, either. You have more than enough information there to sort it out if you do a little legwork and research the answers to your questions. Asking someone to tell you is not research - it's just more of the same lazy, selfish BS that got you here.
[Desire HD Android Development] SpiritStealer:
hey mates, mmmmm i ran some researches and found that i've got a problem... i checked the md5sum on my pc and it worked "through hashcalc" but i can't find the directory on my phone to check it...i mean i installed "es file explorer" and went to the data folder in order to reach the file.. but it was empty [ instead of having sub folders as local and temp ] but there was nothing there.... what can i do ?? do i have to go thorugh the commands even though everything [as i read it may brick the phone if something went wrong] or i can run RUU installer from my pc and it'll fix the hboot and everything else [ if it works i'm more than happy to do it ]

hope my questions don't bother u guys... but i really think i'm in tricky position here
[Desire HD Android Development] jigners:
the warning says it all!

No point in using this at all!

complex as hell,

too much things to go wrong

Im on Vodafone UK, Sense 3.0

Version 3.13.161.3

once i run it, it will just automatically downgrade it to Voda UK GB 2.50.161.3??

or do I need to find the PD98IMG.img file for Voda UK 2.50.161.3 first and

place this in the optional PD98IMG folder in the unzipped aahk file?

:eek::eek::eek:
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
It's fine. I am not inclined to encourage someone too simple to pull this off. I'd rather he just go back to watching Spongebob and leave thinking to grownups.
[Desire HD Android Development] SpiritStealer:
hello guys... i've got into really bad trouble... md5sum didn't match i still have my phone for now cuz i didn't restart and not welling to in the mean time..i've included the hole terminal screen to the reply, i know that i've been asking too much and i've been googling it but not that luck... sooo any ideas :$

u may wonder about "adb shell /data/local/tmp/psneuter" and "mmap fail" i googled it and found that since i've done that command once before and didn't restart it's normal to get such result "it worked right the first time i entered that command"

hope u're not that bored of me :$ really sorry
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
I know I am going to regret this, but come into the IRC support channel in my sig.
[Desire HD Android Development] jigners:
I'd better watch spongebob than go to IRC :p:p:p:p

why not answer people here? huh? this is XDA matey!

this is where people find answers.

Why is there a need to transfer people somewhere else?
[Desire HD Android Development] djolebih:
Lol @ complex.. What is there to be complex about a one click root tool with more then a detailed manual and crap load of explanations?
[Desire HD Android Development] djolebih:
Cuz it's kinda easier to talk in real time?
[Desire HD Android Development] roy8846:
This thread is funny :D , lets hope my DHD arrives and this go's well or it could get a whole lot funnier ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
Because

people are not very good at articulating their issues sufficiently here to get answers they need in a timely fasion.

1/1 interaction in IRC just works better and faster. In IRC I can ask a series of questions specific to their last answers.

XDA is good for disseminating common information. Vague answers to vague questions are not that.

my choice is IRC. I don't care if you don't like it. Go troll somewhere else, please.

Great hack kit.

Fantastic job, works perfectly!

Thank you very much!
[Desire HD Android Development] magnum73:
Do I have to remove the sd card before I run the ace hack? And do I have to do a complete boot before the hack process? Do I have to disable fast boot? And last,if I use ubuntu,can I use the live cd or usb or does it has to be installed on the pc? And what about future updates,like the sense update?

[Desire HD Android Development] cmajewsk:
Wow, never mind! This worked like a charm! Downloaded to my Ubuntu machine, enabled USB debugging, launched app, pressed 1, and then was ready to install a a custom ROM...made the days of partitioning the NAND for my HD2 for Android ROM's look very complex comparatively. And I see the difference between this tool and [GUIDE] How to downgrade 1.7x/1.8x/2.x to 1.32.405.6 - this tool takes only about 5 minutes to learn, 2 minutes to download, and another 5 minutes to run...

Using this tool I managed to gain root and flashed ARHD to my phone which is now running.

My problem however comes in that I have no longer root access, and so can not run any app which requires it such as the Daemon for CPU speed or Rom Manager. Also if I restart the phone it clears anything I change in the ROM settings wise.

Any ideas?

i have my friends' DHD build 3.13...been reading 10 pages back..but havent found answer

im going to my friend's house tmmorow and he dosent have internet connection..

since its on 3.13..it requires to be downgrade to build 2.5x.

does this kit download the suitable RUU for us or do we/could we provide the RUU from xternal source..would like to cnfirm this 1st so could donload the PDI image 1st..

this is what i require

HTC Asia WWE 3.13.707.4 downgrades to HTC WWE Asia GB 2.37.707.3
[Desire HD Android Development] Anthony1s:
Hello flawlessx92,

If you are running one of the following Sense 3 build versions, a full downgrade is required. Which means your data WILL be lost. This kit will autodetect these versions and perform the full downgrade, if needed. Once the downgrade is complete, you need to set up the phone and rerun the hack kit to complete the process:

sincerely,

the effen manual
[Desire HD Android Development] flawlessx92:
dude..i know that my phone will be downgraded =.=...read the effen manual several times..

my question is..does the kit have the RUU included for the downgrade or do i need to download it elsewhere..

RUU is around 200+MB..while the kit is around 90MB...thats make me doubt that the RUU is implemented in the kit

i need to do this offline because i travel to a place without internet connection and i just wanna make sure all my files are enough before doing so..
[Desire HD Android Development] Anthony1s:
Dear dude(flawlessx92),

dude.... like my friend,the effen manual, was telling me you can't understand him. I know how that can be, so this is why I am also here... "Option is given to download a GB RUU and downgrade or abort." Read please!

Yours truly,

the friggen OP
[Desire HD Android Development] Andy:
"Dude" I think you are missing the question being asked.

Before you reply with a "sarcastic" answer that "isn't" warranted, you might want to understand the "question" being asked before you give an answer.

As flawlessx92 has pointed out, at the time he will be using the hack kit, he will not have access to the internet. What he wants to know is will the hack kit still work if the RUU is already downloaded and used locally, rather than the hack kit trying to download it from a non-existent internet connection.

Some noob questions

Hi

I stumbled on this thread after long ago dropping the idea of rooting because some other tools I've tried failed. And now it looks like I've found the good ****....

but before I do this I have some questions (I've read the manual)

1. I have a T-mobile germany branded phone. Is there a way of taking a backup of the current ROM so that I can go back? The reason is that when I've looked for RUU to go back, I don't find/understand which one to pick. I don't find anyone that says T-mobile.

2. The manual speaks about goldcard. Will this do anything to my SD card? Am I stuck with this card after rooting, (thinking of buying a bigger one soon), or can I just use my PC to copy over all files from this card to the new I buy later on?

3. Can I delete all crap that T-mobile have forced on me after rooting? For instance, I live in sweden but my DHD is german T-mobile branded. Online and in some tools, it's always assumed that I am in germany....

thanks guys for helping me out...
[Desire HD Android Development] DN41:
1.) Mine is as well T-Mobile Germany branded - ok was ;) It was really hard to find the RUU, but I found it after some time of search. It's this one: RUU_Ace_TMO_DE_1.39.111.1_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_156008_signed - grab it here.

2.) Nothing will happen to your SD card, but it's always good to back it up first. You can use it like a "normal" SD card (because it's still a normal one :D) after the process.

3.) You can. But a Costum RUM is recommended - otherwise I see no good reason for using tools like the AAHK.

My dhd is now rooted :D

Thanks alot for this tool. Now I have to start looking for a nice ROM to install.
[Desire HD Android Development] homewoodm01:
Brilliant

Absolutely awesome! Thanks soo much! After S-Off'ing with an XTC clip I changed to a stock rom, but was unable to run an ruu with Sense 3.0 . So after alot of umming and arrrring, downloaded your program. Still couldn't use the ruu through the options menu, so went through the one click process (with my fingers crossed that all the previous signs weren't going to lead to a brick). Managed to then revert to stock (leaving S-OFF) within the options menu. Then was able to install any ruu after that. It's 4:30 in the morning and now I can sleep soundly!! Thanks again for this brilliant app :D

Hi,

I used before christmas this rooting guide to get root on my O2 branded HD. Now I have to see that I can't use the updates for android anymore. I did not(!) install a custom rom so the original is still installed.

Can you please tell me wether I can "unroot" my phone or how to get the updates running?

Thanks in advance!

[Desire HD Android Development] Magic Dragon:
I am completely ashamed of myself, I tried to use this a few times, every time re-reading the manual, it would not work. I went for help on the IRC channel and sunk trough the ground of shame, my enviroment was not clean as was mentioned more than once. This problem was solved and the tool did exactly what it is suposed to do, so people, if it is not working, check your processes over and over again.

thank you so much for the help, now I can go and run another rom finaly

questions from a noob

Hi

As you've seen before, I've rooted my dhd with this tool.. and everything works fine

Now to the question.

I want to install a custom rom, and when I look for it I see in the prereqs that they mention Eng s-off, but I've seen in this thread that I won't get eng s-off with this tool.

Can someone explain for me what eng s-off is... I've seen the terms s-off, radio s-off, eng s-off and root... and what I understand is that I def. have root, and some s-off... but which s-off do I have after running this tool, and do I have to do anything else if I want to install for inst. Android Rev. HD.... they say:

You need

•For HTC Desire HD S-OFF ---> [TOOL] One click ENG S-OFF

as you see they say that I need s-off, but refer to eng s-off. that's what confusing me

thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] DN41:
You don't necessarily need Eng S-Off. You're Radio S-Off, but thats enough to flash a costum rom.

You only need Eng S-Off if you want to use fastboot via bootloader.
