Rude people.....

You know, people come here for help.. I am one of them...but how many needing help said screw it and left after reading posts and replies like this one.. FYI, we are not all idiots. Many of us have read the manual over and over. We don't need idiots telling us to read the manual.. If you feel the absolute NEED to say that to someone, then say it follwed by actually HELPING THEM!! Else, seriously, DON'T REPLY TO THEM!!! You really look like a total ass to the rest of us. And those of you that post it after 5 others already posted it... You just look like a moron that wants to get posting numbers up. I run forums, and have seen this many times... I usually reset their numbers or delete their accounts for being a jerk.

I have watched probably 30 videos of how to use the ACE hack kit....and NOTHING works.. But if I post a question, I will be degraded as some ignorant idiot that can't read or comprehend simple computer stuff.. Well, I have built computers for almost 30 years. I have been a programmer and had game of the year on the very first game I wrote back in 1985 for TI. I have been doing tech support for software companies and computer companies for almost 25 years. I also do manual writing for several large companies, including computer companies and software companies.. Think I may be qualified... Oh, and I have 2 degrees in electrical and aeronautical engineering.. So comprehension and application, not a problem...

I will not go into all I have done to prep for running hack ace... I did it all.. The computer is running win 7. Has 16gb memory and I7-2600k running at 4.4ghz, 23TB (you read that right) drive space.

One thing I wondered about, could a problem be that my USB ports are v3 ports... They are backward compatible..but I wondered if that may be the culprit of my problem..

I run the hack-ace.cmd program and it gets to:

Check adb connectivity

shad0wfox 04/2011

Then it sits for 5-10 mintues and then:

ADB server didn't ACK

* failed to start daemon *

error: cannot connect to daemon

ADB server didn't ACK

* failed to start daemon *

error: cannot connect to daemon

Then it quits.. after another 10 minutes or so..

Any help would be appreciated greatly.. Unless you wish to tell me to read the manual...then you can just blow.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Teichopsia:
Read the effen manual :p

Sorry, I couldn't resist. I checked the thread briefly and don't see why you got all heated up. Perhaps you read a few threads too many..? (Rhetorical Q.).

Don't worry, there are a few around that may be able to help, I just don't get where you are coming from. No matter, and not need to reply, you already 'blew me' :D

Edit: the only thing I can think of is to uninstall and install again the drivers.

2nd edit: have you tried using an ubuntu live cd? For some odd reason I have a feeling it would only work with the 10.14 version and not the later ones. Others have reported problems with those and I myself had problems with the 11.whatever. but back then I had no idea what I was doing.

[HTC Inspire 4G] glevitan:
Greg, first you should have gone to the IRC Channel the hack kit keeps for support...you will get help there unless u ask something that is covered in the manual. Second, you are having connectivity issues for certain. The Hack Kit does not work with 3.0 usb ports so try using 2.0...yours seems to be an adb issue. Make sure that the adb.exe is correctly installed. Check the md5sum of the Hack Kit to make sure that is not corrupted...and of course try different ports.

If you can't sort it out in windows try the latest LTS ubuntu version (32bit). That will probably fix the problem. If not hit the IRC channel in my signature and we will lend u a hand.

Last, don't get mad at the guys here..you gotta understand that this is a Dev's forum and many of the questions have already been answered more that a couple of times and usually are covered in the manual, thou not all of them....:good:
[HTC Inspire 4G] SpectroPro:
Not everyone uses IRC... So why help can't be given via a forum is beyond me.. Just sayin... There is always yahoo, google+, AIM, MSN..many chat applications out there that don't require IRC.. BTW, I used to run IRC channels for years.. Just so over the losers that seemed to take over MOST channels... Never been on yours, so that was not toward you..just my experience with what IRC became over the years.. And why I don't use it anymore..

My hack kit is correct as per the check sum.. I hooked up a usb 2.0 port and it's working fine. I have a couple USB 2.0 external drives, and they are working great with it. Thanks for that suggestion.. I will look into the adb.exe issue...

I keep getting different messages when running the app.. so maybe I will break my 3 year hiatus and jump on IRC.. LOL And no, I wouldn't ask anything from the manual.. What really sucks, is that I can NOT be the only person to ever have this issue..yet all the videos on how to do it, all the manuals, and all the posts on sites... People talk about step by step on how to do it...IF it all works flawlessly...but no one ever says...NOW, IF YOU HAPPEN TO GET STUCK HERE....THIS IS WHAT YOU SHOULD TRY OR CHECK ON... That would have been nice in any one of the 100 vids I have watched so far.. LOL

Greg
[HTC Inspire 4G] Teichopsia:
It seems that you are right and perhaps if you do manage to figure the problem out, maybe you ought to break that 100 vid trend making your own vid. It's bound to help someone.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] sjrm:
Hi :

I am having a problem with my Galaxy ACE. Every time i connect it to the computer, i get the 'USB Device not recognized' error message.

However, the phone does charge, either connected via USB or at the charger.

I've already tried on different computers, with different cables, both on Windows 7 and XP, and with KIES installed and not installed.

On some pages, i found that the problem was solved by changing USB and UART to PDA instead of MODEM in the PhoneUtil menu. And that the PhoneUtil menu is accessed by pressing *#7284# . When i press that on my ACE, i get a ServiceMode menu that seems to make diagnostics, but don't let change anything to PDA or MODEM.

I still have not tried if ODIN recognizes it... i will try later, but any help will be highly appreciated.

USE FROYO RUU TO GO TO STOCK FROYO AND USE UNREVOKED TO ROOT PHONE AGAIN

*I HAVE NOT tried this with an S-ON incredible yet. You can use this to root your device if you want to wipe everything clean and start over, OR you could return to stock and receive the OTA update then stay with stock.*

So for some reason I unrooted my phone and wanted to receive the newest OTA from Verizon to check it out. Well it turns out that I missed rooting. So I had S-OFF on my phone, but the stock android 2.3.4 and sense 1.0 image. To get back to stock froyo and later use unrevoked i did this...

1. Download this... (http://dev-host.org/hhfe0ddz0igb/RU...4k_NV_1.70_PRL58006_release_152016_signed.exe) and save somewhere on your COMPUTER.

2. Plug phone into computer.

3. Run this file on your computer and follow on screen instructions. ***CAUTION: This will erase all data on phone and I would advise you to backup your sd card contents on a folder on your computer!***

4. When it says complete, it will appear that it is in a bootloop, hold on ;)

5. Remove battery and go to hboot (volume down button + power button)

6. Select factory reset and let it do its thing.

7. Once that is over, you will need to activate the device so follow the instructions on your phone.

8. BOOM! now you have a stock froyo, unrooted device.... now what.

9. In case you forgot... download unrevoked (http://unrevoked.com/#inc)

10. Follow these preliminary instructions as well if you are on windows (http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install)

11. Run unrevoked and well congrats..... youre rooted!!! FLASH AWAY!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dpeppe01:
Great

I just completed the "downgrade to 2.2 using unrevoked 3.22". This would have been much easier. At least I had a learning opportunity.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dtraini7:
Well hey at least you're rooted tho! Lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Erisnoob:
Confused, did you have s off or s on when you did this?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Erisnoob:
The reason I ask is if you were already S off all you needed to regain root was to flash su and clockwork recovery thru hboot. If you were S on the downgrade with a ruu would not have worked. Did I miss something on your situation?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dtraini7:
I have not tried it using an S-ON phone.. whomever uses this technique can re-root that way or return to stock the same way, receiving the OTA updates shortly after setting it up.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Erisnoob:
Ok, so would it be more appropiate to be titled easy root with s off? AFAIK the downgrade method with two versions of unrevoked is the only method to obtain root with 2.3.4 and s on.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] KrisPeezy:
I'm confused... the title says S-ON and your post says S-OFF.

Can someone please tell me how can I get back to Stock to return my phone? I have been unable to do so after hours of trying to follow a few threads here.
[HTC EVO 3D] Twolazyg:
You should have tried searching before you posted. There are at least 5 threads with people asking how to do this. Also, when you unlocked via htcdev, they told you how to relock your device. So, for the sixth time:

Fastboot oem lock

run the RUU

reboot.

Device will say ***RELOCKED*** at the top of the bootloader
[HTC EVO 3D] rtandon87:
Thank you so much for your help!! I have been searching and trying to do this for so long now. The mistake I was making was that I was trying to run the RUU before doing fastboot oem lock.

So, for others like me who end up on this thread to relock their Evo 3D and bring it back to stock (if you've unlocked using HTCdev method and have S-ON):

*) make sure that you have the adb and fastboot files in the folder you are in.

1) from your command line, run "adb reboot bootloader"

2) On your phone you'll see "Fastboot USB"

2) run "fastboot oem lock"

3) You should now see "RELOCKED" on top.

4) Execute the RUU from your computer (I did - RUU_Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_2.08.651.3_Radio_0.97.10.0808_NV_SPCS_1.31_003_release_219445_signed.exe)

5) Reboot your phone.

Thank you so much Twolazyg!!

The HTC Unlock method didn't do anything for me and I am preparing to flash the 651.3 RUU so that I can try again.

Does the RUU need to be renamed exactly " PG86IMG.zip " inorder to work (like the radio zips)?
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
The bootloader will only scan/load files from the /sdcard if they are placed in the root and labeled PG86IMG.zip.

The RUU .exe can't be placed in the sdcard, the rom.zip file from inside of the RUU has to be extracted, renamed to PG86IMG.zip and placed in the root of the /sdcard.

Good luck!

(XDA) jdeoxys's [How to] Restore evo 3d to latest stock RUU on hboot 1.5

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1337379

Update: The long filename did nothing. Changed it to PG86IMG.zip, put it on a blank sdcard and booted to Hboot 1.50. It read the file, checked the file, did some stuff, and then I selected "Reboot" and my phone was still the same as I had set it up.

Q: Do I need to format / factory reset first?

I didn't "Relock" since I never got it "unlocked" and I didn't use adb since it read the zip as soon as Hboot started.

Also: Can't figure out how to load/use adb correctly (win7). Did the HTCdev unlock downloads (see below), located and manually copied the 3 files (adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll, fastboot.exe) over to c:/android folder. No problems with fastboot stuff. Thought I installed android sdk, java, etc correctly, maybe not.
