Ok I think this has been beat to death. Reading the manual completely is basics. Following directions is key to doing anything on this site. All the directions not just ones you want to follow. The manual was made to make people read and I tip my hat to the OP for making it so. Modding your phone is not easy nor should it be. Everyone should understand just what they are doing, BEFORE they do it.

This is the only proven method fr rooting these devices.
[Desire HD Android Development] zelendel:
Ok first I have never known these guys to be anything but helpful as long as the effort is put in by the user. Next the directions are simple enough that my 10yr old sons were able to do it without a problem.

Now as a teacher I would have figured that you would be able to follow directions completely.

Now I will say this once and only once. What happens in their IRC stays there. Dont come to XDA to complain about it. If you cant follow direction then you deserve a brick.

For all those who faced problem that u downdgraded to Asia GB ROM but could not get S-ON, edit hack-ace.bat (or hack-ace-xph.bat depending on your OS) and search for '044'. Now add an extra underscore before 044 (i.e. '_'). I noticed that maybe by inadvertence, creator of this awesome tool wrote the CID of Asian ROM of only 7 characters where it should have been 8.
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
Thanks for the heads up. I'll check this out when I get back.

Edited: Yep, he's correct. It's already corrected here and will be included in a new version later.

question

Works this with an Desire HD untouched Android 2.3.5 ; 3.0 HTC SENSE; 3.12.405.1 software number ?

sorry, I found, is OK, I read in efffen manual.
[Desire HD Android Development] elpabel84:
Thanks!

Works perfect with 3.12.405.1 !!
[Desire HD Android Development] alepate:
hello...

i want to root my DHD but the program tells me i need a downgrade and i will loose my data etc. etc.

should i do it? i dont remember which rom had when i bought it....

please help....
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
If after reading the OP and the effen manual you cannot answer that question for yourself, then my answer is - no - you should not do it.
[Desire HD Android Development] Savok:
The linux download comand in the manual has an extra / in it, it should read:

wget http://tau.shadowchild.nl/files/aahk-12062012.zip && unzip aahk-12062012.zip && sudo ./hack-ace.sh
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
Thanks, I was tired and crosseyed when I updated it. I'll fix it on next release.
[Desire HD Android Development] Serial Kazama:
Sorry my fault Users... :mad:

Silly story, i´m sitting 4 Hours on that stupid phone to root it. Nothing is workin, so i pull the battery out and look what model it is. The owner says it is a Desire HD and he giv it to me IN a Desire HD Box (!!!!) but actually it was a HTC Sensation... -.-°

So 4 Hours for asses...

No ICS for the Desire HD sorry
[Desire HD Android Development] Raymond Ebertt:
Your Ace Hack is a good tool. I loaded stock ROM, downgraded, and ran tool again and got ENG S-OFF. One comment. Tool would be better if you had 4ext recovery instead of the older version that you have. Overall, it's an excellent tool and you and your team have done a great job.

On a personal note. You need a bit of patience. Your manual is clear but sometimes people skim and miss details. Keep saying "READ THE MANUAL" doesn't make you a friendly developer. You got to remember, most of us don't have the talent and superior knowledge that you have and instead of being irritated and frustrated, take a moment and help up as best as you can. I understand that repeated questions gets you going, but you are a special guy with a special talent that can use that to get a better audience. I envy your talent and wish I could be as talented as you, but I am not.

Though we ended in bad terms, your tool helped me and for that, thanks.
[Desire HD Android Development] kenren:
thank you for this awesome tool :)
[Desire HD Android Development] marsdta:
This is the key and what creates the frustration. Even though attn1 has made this crazy easy, it should not be taken lightly and many do by skimming and taking shortcuts.

Personally I commend attn1 and all others who have spent countless hours in the irc room helping people out. I don't know how they can do it. Helping people out who clearly fail to read. Quite a few of them don't even have dhds anymore but still help. I would have gotten fed up a longtime ago and closed the thread and irc room
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
Grow up.

I don't give a rats ass about being a "friendly developer". I care about being effective. If you had any idea the number of hours we've put in supporting people who think they deserve to be coddled you might have a clue why.
[Desire HD Android Development] rzgomba:
I have read the effen manual and followed it to a "t" and it has never failed me. In my books you are an effective developer.
[Desire HD Android Development] Zeitraffer:
That's damn right, Thank you very much attn1 for this awesome program.

I enjoy my rooted DHD every day, because of you :)
[Desire HD Android Development] iakovl:
i have a DHD given by a friend (another... just got back from germany), info:

company : Tmobile

android version : 2.3.3

sense : 2.1

baseband : 12.54.60.25U_26.09.04.11_M2

build : 2.50.111.5 CL123205

HBOOT : 0.85.0024

Radio : 26.09.01.11_M2

is the toolkit safe for it? or should i do something before?

btw, after it connected to my WIFI he started to download an update ~400mb, should i let it do it or stop it?
[Desire HD Android Development] marsdta:
I would use the kit to root in its current state. If you update it you can still root, only it becomes a two step process instead of one step in its current software state
[Desire HD Android Development] iakovl:
so kit if fine both ways... update or not

just to make sure (long gone htc user... had N1 then 3 samsungs, don't hate)

1. run kit : get s-off + cwm + stuff

2. copy rom zip file to phone (looking for aosp rom, need the full hebrew, is CM good? no need for sense)

3. wipe - all of them

4. install zip

missing something on the way?
[Desire HD Android Development] SteamTrout:
Issue not related to kit itself. I am unable to download the file. Download ends abruptly at 99% (server just kills the connection). Tried Firefox, Chrome and wget (Win32 version). To be more precise the exact error is as follows:

Read error at byte 101539771/101540470 (Connection reset by peer). Retrying.
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
Just that this question is off topic.
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
Server is fine. I suspect your connection.
[Desire HD Android Development] jchuillier:
Hello all,

I got a phone blocked from a friend.

He used the old method (petarplab) on a 3.13 rom, sense 3.0 phone, he made it all the way, and now the phone starts after a long time (5-6 mins) gets to the white HTC screen (without the black texte below) and vibrates non stop.

Is there a way to get out of this using ace hack ?

I know the phone was from thailand or something like that because the CID is 44, that's why he wanted to S-off in the first place to be able to change the rom (texting with thai symbols is not that easy :) )

Thanks for the help
[Desire HD Android Development] mightyoutlaw:
I have the same problem with my DHD!!! My sw is 3.13.707.4 I think it is Asian
[Desire HD Android Development] glevitan:
Both of you are off topic. This is Hack Kit related only...
[Desire HD Android Development] jchuillier:
Well if the hack can unblock the phone or if someone has had this problem before it could help....

Thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] glevitan:
Your problem is not that the phone is blocked...is that you messed the bootloader...That is not Hack Kit related and the Hack Kit won't solve the issue either.
[Desire HD Android Development] Muikkuman:
Aren't the hack kit able to restore the correct bootloader if you accidentally downgraded a desire HD shipped with gingerbread to froyo?
[Desire HD Android Development] jchuillier:
Well the problem is that aahk does not access the phone...i get the device not found error....so i really need to reflash the ruu or the bootloader...Thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] Anthony1s:
No, AAHK does not and will never fix your messed up hboot. Go ask whoever created the guide you followed that messed up your phones. Please leave this problem out of our thread.
[Desire HD Android Development] mohammadsp:
my friend uses the tool

it says :

E:can not open /cache/recovery/command

is there any problem with the SD card?

he has formatted the SD and still no luck
[Desire HD Android Development] aybarrap1:
As attn1 and numerous others have stated...read to comprehend. He purposely kept saying "READ THE EFFEN MANUAL" because it is a very clear step by step instruction. If you are not willing to read and understand EVERY step then you should not be rooting.

He has been more than friendly. The fact that he has worked so extensively to give this great tool and keep it and the instructions up to date is friendly.

Keep up the good work attn1. And I thank you for your assistance in helping me root when my hardware usb ports were laggy.
[Desire HD Android Development] ymeri:
this new version is not work to downgrade from android v 2.3.5 to v 2.3.3:(
[Desire HD Android Development] glevitan:
This version works as well as the others to downgrade from 2.3.5 to 2.3.3. If you are not being able to do it, might be a bad sdcard, a laggy usb connection or some other thing. So before stating that the Hack Kit is not working, please make sure that the issue is not yours.

A pastebin of your session will be usefull to proof that. With the information provided no one will be able to tell you nothing more than I did.
[Desire HD Android Development] ymeri:
my sd card is good and my usb is good bat no work too downgrade

MAIN VERSION IS OLDER

UPDATE FAIL
[Desire HD Android Development] glevitan:
That is not enough information, I need the pastebin of the session to be sure but for previous experience on that error, the antivirus might have eaten the zergrush file from the hack kit...check in the tools>bin folder. If it is not there, then download the Hack Kit again making sure that the antivirus is fully disabled or uninstalled.
[Desire HD Android Development] CYNiCAL2KX:
I got the same problem.. So HIGHLY doubt it's connection. Any chance for a reupload to a different server?
[Desire HD Android Development] marsdta:

Hey guys

I just followed these steps but my USB spazzed out. You're all probably gonna tell me to read the effin guide. I did. All of it. But it was just a USB issue.

Anyway, I have a problem and wondering if anyone could help me..

My USB decided to spaz out half way through radio flash. And now, when I boot. It goes to the T-mobile logo. and then fades away into darkness.

I have tried getting help. I have googled for hours now but i'm struggling doing this. I can boot into bootloader so thats a good sign (I hope)

I just need to know where to go from here if anyone can help me I'd appreciate it.

Here's a little video of what happens

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/18951360/Video 5.wmv

Thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] glevitan:
I guess this is the third time that I answer u this topic....your Antivirus is affecting the download. Zergrush is not in the Hack Kit...everytime you try it will fail until you completely kill your AV or use a liveCD. Just don't keep insisting with something else. Read what is says here: "cannot stat 'tools/bin/zergRush': No such file or directory"

Go and check in the folder and you won't find it...
[Desire HD Android Development] adilrenzu:
u might need to flash the stock rom (pd98img.zip) from bootloader
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
Come see us in IRC if this isn't sorted out.

you too.
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
If you checked the md5 and it's fine, then the hack kit is fine.

It's not the server, it's users who don't follow directions.

For the last time, if people have issues because they've lost control of their windows environments, they should use a Ubuntu 32bit Linux LiveCD instead.

It's easy, it boots clean every time and has a very, very high success rate.

Failures then are only hardware (rare) or failing sdcards.
[Desire HD Android Development] ymeri:
attn Come see us in IRC if this isn't sorted out.

thanks men bat antivirus is problem for me no pc are dhd a uninstall kaspersky and work good too downgrade:good::o
[Desire HD Android Development] ashboe:
I'm going to have to run the risk of being embarrassed :silly:

But I used AAHK about 5 months ago, successfully using Windows - I recently went back to stock by mistake and tried using it again using Mac (Windows isn't possible at the moment - it just isn't) but I cannot get a password. I've tried now on three different macs using the original cable and in different environments but it always says 'nice try come back later!'

Of course I have read the entire manual but am unsure of what the problem could be.

I know there are not many details, but any ideas?
[Desire HD Android Development] edikat:
BRICKED MY HTC DESIRE HD TOTALLY

Followed instructions

EXACTLY

.

When it got to radio section popped up a dialog box saying something like Qualcom Radio wanted.... didn't know what file they required.

Stopped the update (foolishly)

Now when I start Desire HD it just vibrates 3 times and shows a flashing orange symbol

If I boot with volume down it just vibrates 5 times and a green non-flashing light.

Cannot use fastboot, or any recovery. However if I don't power on I have limited adb with no shell (not found) as the device shows HTCxxxxx RECOVERY. I ported the /system/bin and /system/lib from another android and adb push these and now I can adb (root) shell and set path to use commands.

When I reboot though all changes are lost!

That's as far as I can go. Screen totally black. Not happy!!!!

Can I push radio.img to android and dd to mmcblk??? It seems the only (1%) chance I have of recovering my device!!!!!

Also when I run /sbin/recovery from shell the red triangle comes up on the screen!

Help required!!!
[Desire HD Android Development] cwhitney24:
As mentioned several times before and also mentioned in the op, check out the irc chat for help. Probably receive quicker help there.

Can I use it with S-ON 3.12 ?
[Desire HD Android Development] amrit1986:
This works amazingly well!! My friend had there Desire HD fully up to date and I was worried it might not work but it could not be easier!!!

Thanks for making such an easy tool!
[Desire HD Android Development] ebhathiya:
Please can you create ace hack kit to HTC VIVID ?

i don't want to do this wire thing for S-OFF ...

please ...
[Desire HD Android Development] Anthony1s:
Sure. I'll get right on that.
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
nope - not a chance. I don't have one, don't want one or any new HTC until they stop screwing around with locked (S-ON) boot loaders.
[Desire HD Android Development] ebhathiya:
they will do that thing for all time ... I hate that boot loader look and this s off ...
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
Then I am done with HTC.
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
Really - where in the instructions does it say to stop an update mid process?

It does not sound like you followed directions at all. There is always risk when flashing, particularly when you don't understand whats happening.
[Desire HD Android Development] ebhathiya:
Good news .. next phones come with unlocked boot loader :D

but they keep at&t phones looked .. and they want S-OFF
[Desire HD Android Development] Muikkuman:
How do I supply my own ruu for the return to stock ( o ) option in aahk?
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
You don't. But you can flash a PD98IMG. What RUU do you have?
[Desire HD Android Development] Muikkuman:
Nevermind I saw that the ruu already was in the hack kit
[Desire HD Android Development] ErnestoD:
This tool is really amazing. Just half and hour of reading follow the steps and done. My DHD is already downloaded and rooted.

But now a not so simple question, What ROM do toy recommend me (this is my second day with a DHD)

In the EFFEN manual (I think) cyanogen mod 7 is suggested.

Do U agree with this
[Desire HD Android Development] glevitan:
ErnestoD, read the OP (opening thread) this is off topic here, and in the end, your call, but ´round here CM is the elected ROM.
[Desire HD Android Development] ErnestoD:
Sorry and thanks

Gonna try CM7
[Desire HD Android Development] .ilu.:
Now it's time for me to change back to stock. So I guess that there is no Finland/Scandinavian RUU option? Is there any harm if I restore example United Kingdom RUU?

Thanks!
[Desire HD Android Development] glevitan:
No harm at all...but I guess that it is best for you to flash an unbranded ruu...
[Desire HD Android Development] azztech30:
Hi, i have tried this many times but constantly keep getting ''read the effen manual'' all drivers are installed etc phone USB Debugging, charge as connection never had HTC Sync installed.... Avast Pro Anti-virus is also off and nothing...... :-( help or is there another method I'm on 2.3.5 phone has been rooted in the past but lost all signal and connections plus phone had issues had to install Stock RUU and start again but cant remember it being this hard to root it last time was a breeze, any ideas? anyone?
[Desire HD Android Development] glevitan:
Azztech30, you are being asked the key...read the effen manual and you will find it...:good:
[Desire HD Android Development] azztech30:
Sorry dude.....

I managed to get it running followed the Effen Manual to the letter but it fails I get left with black screen red triangle so Vol-up then power in recovery select reboot, get stuck on white screen so tried it again and this is what happens below..... if you want me to flash again another RUU and do it again and paste what comes up after the first time as I missed it let me know...

Hi i did all but i am running windows 7 32-bit and when i run as admin .cmd file it jusdt opens and close in instant, what is wrong????
[Desire HD Android Development] glevitan:
Lack of reading...have u extracted the Hack Kit from zip file? have u uninstalled the Anti Virus? Have u installed drivers as stated in the manual?...as you can see you'd better re read the manual and then re try....
[Desire HD Android Development] nikola92:
Don't play smart with me I said I did all things above, but never mind I made it so ty on your help, all I needed to do is to start cmd in admin mode and then find hack-ace.cmd by standard right click on it and then run as admin i wasn't getting any effect.

Nikola92, I don´t play smart...that is covered in the manual...;)
[Desire HD Android Development] fishykipper:
Are your drivers upto date?.

Check device manager... Does it have a small yellow exclamation and say Android 1.0???

If so this was my problem. The outdated drivers would never sync properly with the phone.
[Desire HD Android Development] azztech30:
Hi yes in device manager it shows Android USB Devices-----My HTC no yellow triangle?
[Desire HD Android Development] laverne:
stuck on waiting for device...

Hi I have tried this twice on my DHD, 2.3.3, 2.36 421 10. And both times I get stuck on waiting for device. The first time this happened it tried to download device driver and did not succeed. But the second time I did not see that problem. So how can I get past this stage?
[Desire HD Android Development] shingers5:
Update driver in device manager. Right Click on android 1.0 then choose driver yourself. In options that come up click on android bootloader and in right hand list of drivers scroll down and choose android bootloader Interface. That will install and process with continue
