My apologies if I missed this in the thread (I did read through the entire thread and didn't see an answer and I did read the manual).

I did a clean install from Windows 7 and everything went along just fine. It said it was successful, etc.

I'm now at the verifying the hack steps. The first 2 commands did everything as expected.

adb reboot recovery

adb reboot bootloader

I looked for what was indicated in parens.

I get to the 3rd command:

fastboot reboot

In the CMD window it shows as <Waiting for Device> and the phone never reboots (well it hasn't in 5+ minutes).

The manual seems to indicate that I need to fix my PC issues and redo the hack since I wasn't able to verify all of the steps.

Do I need to try to put it back to the default ROM and try it again using a Linux LiveCD or am I fine?
[Desire HD Android Development] ZACQ8:
Hi,

is the latest version of the hack kit perfect for the following DHD firmware or will you recommend any previous version which is more relevant for this FROYO?

I just want only to install a Custom Rom.

Android version : 2.2

baseband version : 12.28e.60.140fU_26.04.02.17_M2

Kernel Version : 2.6.32.21-g88454e0 htc-kernel@and18-2 #1 Thu Jan 13 0:25:06 CST 2011

Build Number : 1.83.415.4 CL327244 release-keys

Software Number : 1.83.415.4

Thanks in advance
[Desire HD Android Development] igorski:
Just go ahead
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
If that is just the verification at the end, then you are okay and the hack should is successful if you verified s-off and clockworkmod recovery.

If you are using linux, run the fastboot command as root - that should work.
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
It's fine. You really need to read the manual and understand it.
[Desire HD Android Development] ZACQ8:
Thank you brother

I am very glad to receive your reply....

of course I will read the manual, I am about to perform hacking using Ubuntu this weekend for my cousin who is coming from Qatar.

One noob questian only fastboot on the pnone menu to be checked or unchecked?

thanks again
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
It does not matter for running the hack kit, but

as mentioned in the manual

, it makes it easier to enter recovery when done. Please read, then ask.
[Desire HD Android Development] :
Amazing One Click Solution!

Thank You very much :)

Rik
[Desire HD Android Development] ZACQ8:
Thats all my friend, all doubts cleared now, i will come back only after hacking...

I am just waiting my cousin to come, I have made a test run on ubuntu connecting my ChaCha to find out how the pass key working, with the complete command given in the manual, it is downloaded, extracted started the kit promting pass key, bit confused, where it is downloaded...searched and found, its on Ubuntu Home pass key worked fine.......entered q....by the by any method for rooting my Chacha?

Thanks again
[Desire HD Android Development] jamng:
Yes, this is the 3rd verification at the end. The first 2 verification steps were good. I went on and did the last (4th) step just fine. TYVM.
[Desire HD Android Development] mqazimi:
Guys,

One question?

This tool makes SHIP S-OFF & ENG S-OFF or only SHIP-S OFF.

I runned it and rooted my DHD but it says:

ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF RL

HBOOT-0.85.0024

RADIO-26.14.04.28_M

eMMC-boot

does this mean I have both OFF or only SHIP-S OFF?

Thanks,
[Desire HD Android Development] DN41:
I'm wondering why some people can't even read a manual.

It definetly says that you'll only get SHIP S-Off, not ENG S-Off.

If you want to have ENG S-Off as well, use one click S-Off Tool.

DN41
[Desire HD Android Development] mqazimi:
DN41

I got it and made ENG-S OFF.

But it is strange that I lost my SHIP-S OFF.

Now it says;

ACE PVT ENG S-OFF

HBOOT-0.85.2007 (PD9810000)

RADIO-26.14.04.28_M

eMMC-boot

What is the difference now?

By the way why is needed ENG-S OFF, what is the aim of it?

Sorry for bothering.

R,
[Desire HD Android Development] DN41:
You need ENG S-Off for using/enabling fastboot commands in bootloader.

So it's easier to flash radio, splash screen, etc.

But that's also possible with Ship/Radio S-Off via PD98IMG.zip, which is, in my eyes, more safely.

ENG S-Off includes Ship S-Off so don't worry.

DN41
[Desire HD Android Development] mqazimi:
Thanks a lot man.

R,
[Desire HD Android Development] ZACQ8:
Hmmm, now we got an idea, whoever use one click ENG S-Off Tool after running the this hack kit, their Radio S-OFF will be lost......what will happen if he use One click Radio S-off tool again...?
[Desire HD Android Development] mqazimi:
I tried but it says error.

I tried twice same message.

As you've seen in the previous replies no need for SHIP S-OFF as ENG OFF means both SHIP and ENG S-OFF.
[Desire HD Android Development] ZACQ8:
Hope so....

Anyhow our main purpose of the hacking is to be rooted, and new custom rom installed, we select the custom rom after big research only, which is packed with well running Radios, kernels etc... then when we really require to flash a separate Radio...

When we use other tools we only get rooting but again we have to hunt for CWM, ROM manager etc.. for installing Custom Rom, this kit gives you all in single Click…..
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
That will screw up phones shipped with Gingerbread, which is why ENG S-OFF is not in the hack kit.

ENG S-OFF (from incompatible ENG Bootloaders) is NOT required to flash radios anyway.
[Desire HD Android Development] mqazimi:
my bro zaheedahmed

In order to be sure we are able to flash radio I just did it and it works well.

Salam,
[Desire HD Android Development] DN41:
Ok thanks - didn't know that ;)

And yes as we both said, ENG S-Off is not necessary thanks to PD98IMG.zip method.

DN41

Is there any chance you could add a Softbank return to stock option for Japanese users, using this RUU?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1056549

EDIT: Sorry did not see the part that requires a RUU zip and CID. How can I turn the RUU exe in to a zip and get the CID for you?
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
It's already going into the next version.
[Desire HD Android Development] yvibes:
I've used this kit to revert to stock Rom with s-on and it worked perfectly....I sent my phone to repairs and its back :) it has sense 3.0 build number 3.12.405.1 can I use the hack kit to root this??
[Desire HD Android Development] nteeb:
Not exactly...If you had a former GB (or Froyo)version you could download to 1.32 and run visionary to gain root.In this case as you run the Easy S-Off Tool,it gives you ENGHBOOT S-OFF,but not Radio S-OFF.It is easy to check in the bootloader screen: "ACE PVT ENG S-OFF" at the very top of the screen.

Now if you run the Easy Radio Tool(gaining radio s-off,too)the same will be in the bootloader:"ACE PVT ENG S-OFF",but this time you have both radio s-off AND enghboot s-off.

AAHK gives you radio s-off,that's why it is "ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF" in the bootloader.

So ENG S-OFF is not meaning you have both,only if you had SHIP S-OFF before...
[Desire HD Android Development] pSyCHo_SolDiEr:
Great Tool

Rooted my Desire HD this week with AAHK.

I was a little afraid when reading about bricking etc.

But with the guide it has worked like a charm.

Big thanks to the developer.

Runnig on already S-off phone

Hi,

I need a Help urgently,

My cousin brought his DHD today and we are almost to start to run the kit with ubuntu for his DHD (stock froyo 1.83.415.4) of which he is 100% sure that it is in the factory Shipped status, I also checked it is Not rooted,

But before running when I just checked the bootloader I found the following, I dont know this is Eng-S-off, or Radio S-off, but how come it is showing S-off.

ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF RL

HBOOT-0.85.0019

MICRIO-0438

RADIO 26.04.02.17_m2

eMMc-boot

etc...

My cousin is only 2 days with me..please tell me, is there any harm if I use the kit on the above staus phone which is showing already S-off.

Awaiting an urgent assistance

Thanks in advance
[Desire HD Android Development] toysoldierq:
Just wanted to say many thanks for this it rooted my phone just fine even tho it was on a 3.0 sense rom it downgraded and rerun and it was done now my phone is rooted thank u so much .
[Desire HD Android Development] accountabc:
Hi attn1,

Just wanted to say thanks for your help in IRC today. In the end, your script with extended wait time-out allowed me to downgrade the firmware version, and after that the normal script worked fine for unlocking the phone and installing cwm. It's now runing ICS, because of your work. So, thanks again!

Bram_
[Desire HD Android Development] ZACQ8:
I have hacked DHD successfully with Ubuntu,

I worried little bit due to the already s-off status of the phone, but Thanks to the team who made me confident in IRC....

Thanks and best Regards
[Desire HD Android Development] Anthony1s:
Alright. So I updated the manual and made it more organized last month, but attn1 hasn't had time to include it yet. Anyway, I'm gonna paste some of the more important stuff here, because there have been an increasing number of people wanting help...

ENG HBOOT's

-Do not flash an ENG hboot, unless your phone was shipped with Froyo

-Do not downgrade with a Froyo RUU, unless you phone was shipped with Froyo

-ENG HBOOT's are not necessary. There is no need to flash one. See 'More About Flashing Radios' in this kit, to learn how to flash radios without ENG HBOOT

Bootloader

-Bootloader MUST be locked. Relock it, if you unlocked it with HTCdev

Troubleshooting

INFOsignature Checking:

Process freezes on INFOsignature checking. This error is caused by a corrupt sdcard. Your sdcard is fine for normal use, but cannot become a goldcard. Use a different sdcard, then run the kit again... The boot sector of sdcard's can become corrupt from not ejecting properly before unmounting from your computer.

Black or White Screen:

PC fails to process halfway through and your phone boots to a black or white screen. Resolve your connection issues (USB port/cable, Drivers, etc.), reboot the phone and rerun the hack kit from the black screen. Do NOT Wipe data - this will disable USB debugging... forcing you to run a RUU, before using this kit again.

Connection Issues

Please try the following, if you have connection issues:

-Make sure HTC sync is uninstalled.

-Make sure drivers were installed while phone was UNPLUGGED.

-Make sure any other USB services are stopped. Services include; but are NOT limited to, Apple Mobile Device, Windows Defender, Windows Mobile, Printers, PDAnet, Blackberry and Palm software, etc.

-Try plugging into a different USB Port. Do not use a USB hub.

-Try using a different USB cable. Some are charge only and do not support data transfer

-Once the hack kit main menu starts, you can test adb and fastboot connections from the command line as ROOT (Linux/OSX) or ADMIN (Windows). Enter the following:

-adb reboot bootloader This command will reboot you to Fastboot, verifying adb connection

-fastboot reboot This command will reboot your phone normally, verifying the fastboot connection

-Allow the phone to reboot fully and allow time for the phone to read the sdcard before running the hack kit.

-If all still fails, create the Ubuntu Livecd described above.

Downgrade Image Won't Flash:

If the downgrade image won't flash from hboot, it is because you did not read above. Relock your bootloader by typing fastboot oem lock into a terminal/cmd prompt, then rerun the kit.
[Desire HD Android Development] aquifx:
Thanks for this tool.

It made it very easy for me to root and flash a rom on my DHD in 10 min

Worked for me without an issue!!!
[Desire HD Android Development] timbugtu:
htc screen freeze

hey there,

just downgraded my Euro DHD with the kit from 2.3.5 (made update to 2.3.5 after i bought it), but now it dosent start anymore. stops onto the htc screen. in the bootloader i cant select any options with power up power down....

i am getting nervouse any hint for me please??

thanks

timbugtu

edit: during the htc screen is visible i can access the sd card via usb
[Desire HD Android Development] Anthony1s:
Solve your pc connection problems. It's either a bad physical connection or a rogue process stealing usb comms. Then rerun the kit from the htc screen.

Alternatively, you can create a Ubuntu LiveCD, then rerun the kit.

This is discussed in the manual.
[Desire HD Android Development] timbugtu:
... there are no connectivity problems..

i changed the sd card and now i am able to enter fastboot with vol up/down again..

but still i have no idea how to go on. i cant run the ace kit again because it says device not pluged in when i connect the dhd in fastboot or hboot..
[Desire HD Android Development] r1sh12:
Hey all,

I have rooted my phone quite a while ago (DHD) - I am currently running

Android 2.3.5, Sense 3.5 with the PVTeam Runny droid v3.0 and the RCMIX3D 2.6.35.14 Kernel.

Is it safe to unlock the phone?

Thanks in advance
[Desire HD Android Development] Anthony1s:
So, why would it say 'device not connected or not plugged in', if there are no connectivity problems? Take my advice and fix them or use a Ubuntu LiveCD.

---------- Post added at 12:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:10 PM ----------

If you used the hack kit at any point EVER, then your phone is already unlocked. Boot to hboot and it should say s-off.
[Desire HD Android Development] timbugtu:
@Anthony1s

thank you, i'll try to fix it the the live cd.

but are you sure the kit can be started if the DHD is connected form HBOOT or FASTBOOT?

thanks to you
[Desire HD Android Development] r1sh12:
Thanks for the info,

If I remember correctly I used the UMT - Ultimate Multi Tool to root my phone.

Ive just installed it again to check:

CID: ORANG001

Sim Lock: Sim Locked

State S-Off: S-OFF

I dont think I unlocked it when I rooted (Woops lol).

Can I still use the AAHK to sim unlock?

Thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] Anthony1s:
No. You need to run the kit from the white HTC screen.

Hallo

Da mein Englisch nicht so toll ist schreibe ich auf Deutsch und hoffe auf Hilfe.

Ich habe schon mehrere DHD erfolgreich gerootet, und wollte jetzt das vom Kumpel rooten, aber bekomme es nicht weder mit CMD Eingabe noch mit dem Tool hier.

Vorab muss ich in dem Ordner im AAHD Hack PS98img eine PD98IMG zip reinpacken????

Zu dem Zeitpunkt war allerdings auch noch eine PD98IMG auf der SD

Das habe ich gestern auch versucht, aber es hat nicht geklappt.

In der CMD Eingabe gestern stand Downgrade sussedful, danach startet das DHD in den Bootloader und denn kam Update Failed.

Die Handys die ich bisher gerootet habe, habe ich alle mit Manueller CMD eingabe gemacht, das geht aber jetzt nicht.

Ich brauche dringend Hilfe

Ich bedanke mich und bitte um Entschuldigung das ich auf Deutsch Schreibe.

Das DHD ist ein freies und mit Aktueller Firmware

Danke
[Desire HD Android Development] Andy:

[Desire HD Android Development] sascha19374:
Ok just because with Google Translator

Hello

Since my English is not great, I write in German and I hope to help.

I've rooted several DHD successful, and now wanted by the rooten buddy, but do not get it either with CMD command still here with the tool.

I need to pack an advance in the folder in the root AAHD PS98img PD98IMG a zip??

At the time, however, was also a PD98IMG on the SD I've also tried yesterday, but it did not work.

In the CMD input was yesterday downgraded sussedful, followed by the DHD starts in the boot loader and as came Update Failed.

The phones that I've rooted, I've made ​​all the input with manual CMD, but this will not now.

I need urgent help

Thank you and I apologize in German Writing.

The DHD is a free and with Current Firmware

Thank you

Hallo, was hast du für Android Version, 2.3.3 oder 2.3.5?

What you have for Android Version, 2.3.3 or 2.3.5?

Erst muss Downgrade machen danach root.

First make Downgrade and after that root.

Falls dein Handy hat 2.3.5 erst Downgrade von 2.3.5 auf 2.3.3 and danach von 2.3.3 auf 1.32.405.6 mit link oben.

If your Phone is with Android 2.3.5 you must to make first Downgrade from 2.3.5 to 2.3.3 and after that from 2.3.3 to 1.32.405.6 with link up.
[Desire HD Android Development] sascha19374:
Hallo i have 2.3.5 und welcher Downloadlink oben???

[Desire HD Android Development] atomantmk:
Most simple way is when you make one click Root with www.unlockroot.com/unlockroot.php or start with downgrading, just click on downgrade.
[Desire HD Android Development] marsdta:
That site does nothing at best. If you look at the FAQ it laughable. Simply stating that you need soff already and that they have no clue if it will work.

At sashca, the hack kit is self contained no need to place any pd98img files anywhere. And remove any pd98 files from your SD card
[Desire HD Android Development] atomantmk:
Everything from xda works, i have rooted my DHD with tools from xda!
[Desire HD Android Development] sascha19374:
Thanks at all

The DHD is rooted
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
No, there is not. A video can't possibly convey what you need to know to do this process properly. The OP states my feeling on the topic -

I am locking these threads. The questions are beyond inane at this point.
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
Custom Hboots with ENG functionality are now included. These hboots are safe for all current Inspire/DHD models. Make sure to choose the correct one for your build.

Froyo/Gingerbread (sense 2) and Gingerbread (sense 3) partition layouts are all supported.
[Desire HD Android Development] whiperhack:
Please tell us what versions of hboot did you include.

And BTW we will need you as soon as new ICS will come for us. :D
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
They are modified Gingerbread Sense 2 and Gingerbread Sense 3 hboots.

They have the most requested ENG S-OFF enhancements; namely functional fastboot flash image.

So far, I am not a big fan of ICS.
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
Sorry folks, there was a bad upload. I have replaced the file. If you've been having trouble, delete the previous download and try again.
[Desire HD Android Development] cwillison94:
I rooted my phone using this method and it was suppose to sim unlock my phone however it hasn't. Is there a way to just try the sim unlock again?
[Desire HD Android Development] Anthony1s:
Are all the covers on the phone?
[Desire HD Android Development] marsdta:
Having sim unlock does not guarantee that every sim/carrier will work. For example my sisters tmo sim doesn't work but my brothers does.
[Desire HD Android Development] cwillison94:
I am in Canada pretty much all carriers have the same frequencies. I guess I'll just have to buy an unlock code, no big deal
[Desire HD Android Development] marsdta:
And having an unlock code doesn't guarantee all Sims will work. What carrier are you trying?
[Desire HD Android Development] Zeitraffer:
I have already unlocked my phone with your AAHK a couple of months ago.

Can I just rerun the process with the aahk-07052012 again to receive ENG Hboot without risk of bricking?

I already read your description, I just want to be sure.
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
If you have s-off from the hack kit, you are sim unlocked. It is impossible that you have one and not the other.
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
no, but you can install it from the options menu.
[Desire HD Android Development] t0mas_:
i allready have 0.85 eng s-off hboot installed. do i gain anything upgrading to 2.00?

and secondly, if i understand correctly, the zips in /tools/hboot could be flashed as pd98img?
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
The newer hboot is for newer sense 3 RUU partitioning. Other than being compatible with those RUUs, there is absolutely no advantage.

That's correct.
[Desire HD Android Development] cwillison94:
Thanks I will try again
[Desire HD Android Development] cosmo1:
ai have unloked-it with this software,but if ai will instal another rom it wil be loked again?

Hello ... i want to ask something .. i have cm7 installed .. every thing is custom .. and i have hack my dhd with this tool .. can i flash the eng s-off .. ?? Because i scared if my dhd is brick .. so i ask here ..

Thx before ..
[Desire HD Android Development] Zeitraffer:
I had the same question, it was answered on the page before:

"[...]you can install it from the options menu"

Connect your phone, start the AAHK, go to Options and install ENG Bootloader.

Or eveneasier: Go to \tools\hboot in AAHK directory, rename hboot_7230_Ace_2.00.2728_110907.zip to PD98IMG.zip, put it to the root of your sd card and install it via bootloader.

I did it like that, works great.

Thx man .. !! I dont know you ask that on the page before this .. big thx .. :)

after updatesense 3 is downgraded to sense 2.1

How do I get sense 3 back?
[Desire HD Android Development] Raymond Ebertt:
Can't open the passkey link. It's broken. The webpage can't be displayed
[Desire HD Android Development] Anthony1s:
Redownload the hack kit and unzip it, but this time, don't remove stuff or change anything around.
[Desire HD Android Development] Zeitraffer:
Install a rom with Sense 3.
[Desire HD Android Development] Raymond Ebertt:
Did exactly what you did and after opening the manual and clicking the CAJAN.txt link I get the window opening and message

Nice try - come back later!

What is going on?
[Desire HD Android Development] Anthony1s:
It generates a key each time you open the hack-ace script. If you haven't opened it, it won't generate the key.
[Desire HD Android Development] Raymond Ebertt:
Ok, I'm running it now. Radio downgrade complete - starting next process -please be patient

Been on this for over 15 minutes. Is this normal? I ran this kit back in October, but don't remember it taking this long.
[Desire HD Android Development] Anthony1s:
If you need more detailed help, go to the irc channel in my signature.
[Desire HD Android Development] Serial Kazama:
Works this with an Desire HD Android 4.0.3?
[Desire HD Android Development] Anthony1s:
Do you have stock OTA ICS?
[Desire HD Android Development] Serial Kazama:
Yes and the Hack dont work. Runs complettly but after all is finished, still no recovery and no S OFF. :o
[Desire HD Android Development] Anthony1s:
Ah, I didn't know it was leaked or released yet. Anyway we can probably make it work if we get a system dump of your phone or the ICS RUU. Stop in our irc channel sometime. Then we can update the kit for it.
[Desire HD Android Development] hysteresis:
How is it you have the official HTC ICS release for Desire HD? This is big news if true.
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
Hack kit is designed to specifically NOT run on 4.x.

Stop in the IRC channel so I can check this build out.

You pick an odd time to hack your phone - after an OTA.
[Desire HD Android Development] attn1:
What was going on was a read fail. What Anthony told you is made very clear in the effen manual.

Again - read fail. You are already s-off, running a custom ROM. Effen manual says NOT to run the HACK step under these circumstances. That is for phones running STOCK firmware.

People who fail to read simple directions and then go bother others for help without ever referring to those directions are lazy and stupid. Don't be one of those anymore. It's boring and tiresome.
