I wanted to test it but it seems like the server is offline? :(
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
No the server is not offline.
[Desire HD Android Development] xzibit316:
If I run the ace-hack and all goes well can I use the stock Rom to backup using titanium backup root. Then install a custom Rom.

Thanks in advance...
[Desire HD Android Development] peacekeeper05:
been recommending this tool kit to all of my friends who uses desire HD too and they all become successful rooting their DHDs. Brilliant work indeed.
[Desire HD Android Development] xzibit316:
I don't copy the ace-hack folder to the sdcard do i, i have inserted a freshly formatted sdcard. Is this correct. :confused:
[Desire HD Android Development] xzibit316:
Anyone, i'm itching to do it. I'm just making sure, I don't want a brick...

Cheers.
[Desire HD Android Development] iridium21:
I was apprehensive too, but everything went fine. Just follow the instructions and be patient.

Good luck ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] xzibit316:
Can i still access the market or should i download Titanium backup before the hack...
[Desire HD Android Development] iridium21:
AAHK does nothing to your phone other than root it etc. You won't lose anything.
[Desire HD Android Development] vibrastic:
yay, i've successfully rooted my DHD but then all my camera apps turned grayscale, pls help.

i haven't flash any custom ROM on my unbranded DHD.
[Desire HD Android Development] AA--92:
I just got one question:

ace hack will give me:

1. Permanent ROOT

2. RADIO S-OFF

3 . Eng s-OFF

?
[Desire HD Android Development] ambrose7:
My friend wants me to root his DHD for him, its a Vodafone branded UK one, is this currently the best tool to use for an all in one goldcard rooting ?
[Desire HD Android Development] marsdta:
If you read the op yes. Attn1 took off engs-off in the latest update but honestly its not needed. But if you want engs-off it would just be an extra step

I need a new sig
[Desire HD Android Development] marsdta:
Absolutely

I need a new sig

[Desire HD Android Development] azztech30:
Yes it was but had a major failure after a radio I was suggested to flash to try and fixed it almost bricked the phone so I had to flash an official unrooted RUU to start again so the phone is no longer rooted, (I started this whole process with the phone as a branded 3uk phone like it just came out the box from 3uk even apps to check its defo not rooted confirm this) This great kit downgraded the phone it started the whole process but as I previously stated stops at the same bit with same error... so basically no idea why its doing this

Thanks fishykipper lol you bet me to my response there ... yes so each time this does not work now I flash with this kit WWE HTC RUU uk it boots fine etc but just puts me back to square 1, no signal and your sim does not allow a connection to this network all network sims state this>?

Whatever....stop flooding....and I quote the notes in the thread:

"...Please do NOT run the hack step if you are already S-OFF AND are running a custom ROM. It's pointless, and while it won't brick you, you can get jammed up a bit. This is for stock devices only...."

And maybe, instead of boasting about your knowledge you could have pointed him in the right direction...wich u certainly did not. I am done with u.

---------- Post added at 03:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:25 PM ----------

Do that...you definitely have connection issues. Try also using a different usb port (a 2.0 not a 3.0 one) If u still are stuck hit the IRC and we will lend u a hand....
[Desire HD Android Development] azztech30:
Ok brill thanks, I do not want to flood or cause a debate .. just pulling my hair out, I should of been a bit more helpful with my post at the beginning apologies, I will however let you know my outcome

Hi,

I am new to htc modding and flashing.I own SE phones and has been playing with them since years.

Yesterday i got a friend's HTC Desire HD that was from 3UK.i live in india.It was originally on 2.3.5 GB.I wanted to flash a custom ROM,so i decided to root and all.I read everywhere that ACE hack tool was best one.So used it to root,S-off and it also downgraded to 2.3.3 in the process.

After reboot now i dont have signal!!!Tried different sim cards too...

what shall i do?

sorry if i write or did something like a noob...but i am new to HTC devices as i said.

Any ideas?
[Desire HD Android Development] Anthony1s:
Is the bottom cover on? That's where the antenna is.
[Desire HD Android Development] leechgod27:
OMG!!!

you are a genius dude...thanks a ton!I didnt put tht silly cover after using the tool..

lol

thanks again,:D
[Desire HD Android Development] devil-kin:
This thing works like a charm. First try, worked perfectly.
[Desire HD Android Development] azztech30:
Well tried USB 3.0, live cd, 3 laptops and 1 PC....... still nothing, I'm seriously thinking its the actual phone, why? because my friends DHD worked first time on my main laptop, so I now have a brick.... :-( given up thanks for all your help anyway :-)
[Desire HD Android Development] bosas200:
Damn :D im so much want to root my DHD and install custom roms. But im afraid to brick it when doing it :D I dont want to lose phone.. My DHD was shipped with Froyo
[Desire HD Android Development] azztech30:
Bosas you should be fine honestly... i'm just having issues with my old DHD due to giving it to my Dad who unlocked the 3uk branded phone to use vodafone, when I say brick I mean I still have network issues nothing to do with this kit I was just using it to try and fix my phone.

Honestly you will be fine follow it the letter with the effen manual and you will be fine :)
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
You don't have a brick. Put a and DHD GB RUU on a goldcard (PD98IMG format) and flash it from HBOOT.
[Desire HD Android Development] ahmad5859:
i am in 3.12.405.1

after ruining this tool , it says i am in 3.12.405.1 and i must downgrade , am i sure ? i said yes and press y , after that it downloads a 253 mb rom and put it in my sdcard and put the device in hboot

after that and cheeking of PD98IMG.zip , it says

main version is older

update field

press "power" to restart

now what can i do to root this device ?
[Desire HD Android Development] glevitan:
We need to see the outcome of the Hack Kit session to be certain. But as far as I am concern, the main version errors are due to incomplete Hack Kit downloads caused by antivirus eating exploit files.

Unistall your Antivirus, don't disable it, delete the Hack Kit folder and then download it again. It will work this time for sure.
[Desire HD Android Development] ahmad5859:
thanks glevitan

i will check it ....

beside there is only one messi :D

[Desire HD Android Development] gtdor:
Hi,

Today I used this great tool to root my phone.

Everything worked fine until he passed the step with S-OFF and root (see image hack 1).

Then the radio update, my DHD has been blocked. He froze for 20 minutes. After I removed the battery,followed some errors (see image hack 2)

I can't run the hack again because now i am S-OFF and root.

Any ideea what happened? In this case the process was complete, sim unlocked ?

Thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] glevitan:
gtdor, the process seems to be complete in relation with S-OFF and root. To check, boot in hboot and check if u are S-OFF, the root access is easily tested with an app that requires root access such as Titanium Backup and check that the Superuser app is installed.

What seems to have failed is the pseudo ENG HBOOT....but you can flash that from the hack kit by choosing option o) and flashing ENG S-OFF...
[Desire HD Android Development] ahmad5859:
any body know what misc_version is ?
[Desire HD Android Development] azeemthegr8:
I'm sorry if this sounds stupid, but I've read the manual and the posts and everything, and maybe there's an answer to my question somewhere in these 2000-odd pages, but I'd appreciate if someone could help me out.

My DHD is running HTC Asia India 3.13.720.2, which, according to the manual, downgrades to HTC WWE EU GB 2.50.405.2

I understand that I will lose all my data in the process, which is fine.

However, the manual, right at the end, under "You're Done" says

"Your ROM has not been downgraded, and is still fully functional, no data is lost and the most current and appropriate radio has been installed"

So, this is what I don't get. If I run the AAHK, will the end product leave me with the 3.13.720.2 India ROM, or will I be running 2.50.405.2?

And if I am running 2.50.405.2 and I don't find a custom ROM that I particularly like, how do I go back to my original ROM?

Again, I apologize if this is a stupid question, but even though I've read all the instructions, it's just this one niggling doubt that's stopping me from taking the plunge.

Please do let me know.

Thank you :)
[Desire HD Android Development] Anthony1s:
It updates your phone to the previous rom you had.
[Desire HD Android Development] ahmad5859:
i don't think that aahk can root or anything else with 3.13.x

i am sure it wants you to downgrade your phone , after that you are in gb rom and you can root your device and install any custom rom ( or you can make your phone super cid and install any Official rom

if you dont like your custom rom , and your device is super cid , you can install any Official rom , even your original one

i hope it is helpful
[Desire HD Android Development] bosas200:
So if i want to do this. What should i backup? And how?

Sent from my HTC Desire HD A9191
[Desire HD Android Development] azeemthegr8:
That's a start. What exactly is Super CID? Could you explain, or suggest a good link to do some reading and understand what it is and how it works? Would be very helpful. Thank you :)
[Desire HD Android Development] ahmad5859:
as you know , any region ( in htc devices ) has a different CID , for example htc-ger = cid_102

when with fastboot codes or a software like AAHK make your device Super CID , your devices's cid is changed to 11111111 . it makes your device super cid and you can install any rom of any region ( same version ) for example if you arte in 3.12.405.1 you can install 3.13.415.2 and make your device arabic enabled

if you read about AAHK , you find anything that you want , otherwise , come here , there is some answers for your questions

---------- Post added at 08:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 AM ----------

your contacts ,sms,mms,pics ....

anything as you want it later

just enable USB Debugging and choose Disk Drive , now your devices's memory shown as a drive in your pc/laptop . you can easily copy/paste all of you want .

Just wondering why AAHK has been removed ?
[Desire HD Android Development] Houz74:
The developer attn1 did this himself, see his signature below his first post:

"Parted ways with XDA Developers"

You can find the download through Google-cache though.
[Desire HD Android Development] Piercy0812:
Yeah i used google cache and found the information. It all worked fine for me. Downgrade didnt work first time but a few reboots and it took hold. After that it all went smoothly. Just installed CWM and doing a backup now.

All good. Great post. XDA should take the info from google cache and store it somewhere. You cant put a price on information like that :)
[Desire HD Android Development] iridium21:
Great. Another really good dev bites the dust on xda :(

And, yet again, it's a moderator who's responsible.

dead volume up

Hi everyone,

I just bought an used DHD/Ace phone. I want to root it obviously...

My issue is that my volume up button does not work and... if I am not wrong... I do need to press volume up in recovery to flash any ROM.

Am I correct?

Am I locked out of any rooting/ROM without properly working volume buttons?

Thanks for the clarification.
[Desire HD Android Development] lows10:
I rooted myne with this and my friends just the other day I never had anything on my SD card just had it on my Linux in downloads folder extracted the zip make sure USB debugging is checked plugged the phone in he was on stock sense 2.3.3 update I believe went to then extracted folder on my notebook then clicked well on Linux ran the hack-ace.sh again I have the inspire so did he so idk about the desire HD but I would think its the same just press the 1 key and everything should go fine make sure your charged and read and followed all directions that came in the hack kit
[Desire HD Android Development] lows10:
After I rooted my friends inspire he had the same exact problem on his phone I could boot into recovery with rom manager but since his volume buttons didn't work I couldn't flash anything I'm guessing u would have to do it through adb?

[Desire HD Android Development] herc1024:
WOW!!!

Hello!!

i want to thank you for this great program!!!!

So, here it is!!

THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!!

Until i found this post I have read some thousand other post and tried a hundred ways to root my DHD and downloaded over 2 GB of programs :) but only this one worked like a charm!!!

Now I have MIUI!!

PS: my phone had Android 2.3.3 from Vodafone Romania
[Desire HD Android Development] Nikotttin:
Answer to my question: IT DOES NOT WORK :(

You have to press volume up to select the image to be flashed. That's not in the manual...

Is there any other way in recovery mode to select a given recovery image?
[Desire HD Android Development] Raipe43:
I ran it on a mac, and it failed. Anyone has a idea where the problem is? I've done everything according to the manual and an unbranded device. I have 2.3.3, the 2.50.405.2 update. Here i have a copy-paste from the script:

FAILED (remote: 43 main version check fail)

rebooting...

Radio downgrade complete - starting next process - please be patient...

major abra-cadabra going on, please be patient.....

************* Downgrade failed *************

** Either:

** Goldcard failed

** USB connections are not working 100%

************* Downgrade failed *************
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
Yes, The MAC failed. Looks like usb communications failed during initial steps setting the mainver down before flashing the downgrade.

Try another USB port and give it another go. Make sure other usb using programs are not active.

If you're rooted,do you still get the official ota updates?
[Desire HD Android Development] Raipe43:
Well i cleaned the microusb port, it seemed that there was a lot on dust. I don't know if that did anything, but it worked. Now there is an other problem, it said that "ERROR: could not get pipe properties"

Then it booted, got stuck to the HTC animation. Only way it gets closed is by removing the battery, and booting with power button and vol down buttons pushed.

When trying to factory reset, this happens:

Why I have a bad feeling that the phone is bricked? :(
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
You should not be trying to root damaged phones. This is just common sense.

And yes, it will work if you use the fastbootRUU flash method - no volume up key is needed.

Since the phone prompts you how to proceed when using the other flash method, it's redundant and trivial to put in in the effen manual.
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
No, you are not bricked. Stop in the freenode IRC channel in my sig and we can get you squared away. You really should not have reset - that wiped our your USB debugging.

The only thing: it is sooper annoying to find the pass key, especially when you are in a hurry and you use Ctrl+F in the forum or in the manual to find it

I want people to read the effen manual and not watch videos that do not cover everything that needs to be covered. If you provided support and most of the issues were things covered in the manual but never read, you would understand. People don't read, get jammed up - and then come looking for help.
