I can confirm this work using titanium backup now
[Xoom Android Development] danbroken:
Well, I installed it in my Xoom 3g from Brazil and works fine, except camera and 3g, as already mentioned. But I don't have 3g data plan and don't use camera, so I wiil not miss. Portuguese BR it is working and 3d games it's working fine. Interface is Fast and smooth. Amazing.

Sorry my bad english.

@anidrin Thank you for that. I've added a link to your post on the front page.

OK I'm new to xoom. I just got it last night for $250 and I want to put ICS on it. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Also I have model mz604.
[Xoom Android Development] novaIS350:
If I were you I would wait. However, if you insist on installing an incomplete and buggy build I suggest reading the stickies at the top of the Xoom dev forum. You'll need to unlock your boot loader and gain root access
[Xoom Android Development] Meibs:
yay, fixed it, just had to use the fastboot files intead :)

Has anyone tried NANDROID'ing back to HC? i tried and it just sits at checking MD5....

Also, where does it backup to, using Solarnz CWM?
[Xoom Android Development] REHolt218:
The latest Tiamat-xoom-rom.

It seems like every time I reboot, it gets faster! :p

Flash this in recovery?
[Xoom Android Development] motazsayed:
I will try the root file, but the DPI seems a bit off, has anyone noticed that? everything seems smaller, and another thing, on hc stock browser when I open a website that has a desktop version and a mobile version it opens the desktop version but on this it seems to open the mobile version by default, anyway to solve this??
[Xoom Android Development] RacerX780:
That's what I did... and my CWM is gone.

At least I'm pretty sure that's what I did... a couple of the options were worded slightly different, but I assumed they did the same thing.

Now when I push the power botton I don't get the options of rebooting, powering off, rebooting into recovery mode.

Did I goof??? :(
[Xoom Android Development] Meibs:
nvm, its going..sweet :)
[Xoom Android Development] RMerlin:
I did, and it worked fine for me. It can take a while tho, probably even longer if you have a lot of files in that backup.

---------- Post added at 01:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:00 PM ----------

The "Reboot into recovery" option was from a custom ROM, so I assume you were running Tiamat before. It has nothing to do with the recovery you had.

You can reflash your recovery on top of the ICS one:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
[Xoom Android Development] RacerX780:
I can't seem to take snapshots... It's the power button and vol-down, right?

Either my timing sucks or it's not working for some reason. lol

---------- Post added at 01:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:03 PM ----------

Ah, ok. That makes sense then. It just made flashing this much easier... but I used adb before so if that's how I gotta do it now no biggie. I just didn't understand what fuctions were part of what...
[Xoom Android Development] RMerlin:
Figured out that my own ICS build had broken wifi because for some reason the build didn't include the required Broadcom drivers (which I do see there in the source tree). Is there anything in particular needed for the build process to properly include those drivers?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] chamele0n:
So a couple years ago I had a Kaiser (AT&T Tilt version) go for a swim in fresh water, I was pretty quick about taking the battery out and then I let it dry for 3 days before trying to turn it back on. Now a few years later I have since replaced that Kaiser with a new Kaiser and then an amazing HD2 that we all know and love. I have been tinkering around with the water damaged kaiser for a while now trying to resurrect it and here is my question, I know of all these tricks people say work ( rice, Isopropal alcohol, ect) but this is besides the fact that the phone hasn't been attempted to turn on in over a year, I'm sure it's dry.

I can successfully boot into HSPL any day of the week, and I also successfully flashed the stock AT&T WWE rom back to the phone, but it still gets stuck on the first screen (The white AT&T branded screen) so the real question is, does anyone have any more ideas to try to get the phone to boot, Is it possible some specific component or micro-controller is fried? I would say it's not totally dead since I can get into the HSPL boot loader and flash the Stock rom, however I tried a few WP 6.1 and 6.5 roms and they get an error code when I attempt to flash. I beleive it was error code 274?

Any help or suggestions would be hreatly appreciated, thanks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Wolf Pup:
Well, I'm no expert because I got a TyTn but what I can say is that you can check out the wiki fir unbricking options. And also remember that some moisture can still get trapped even after a year. Maybe leaving it under the sun will help evaporate all the water? Anyway, good luck fixing it!

My uncle had one, but he dropped it and the metal but broke; so it became a hazard because of the sharpness. Then he gave it to the insurance company and got an iPhone!

UPDATES

10/4/12-New method of flashing recovery added. No card reader needed for those that do not have engsoff or the modified hboot from the AAHK-learned this method from Glevitan

3/14/12--Updated links in OP

2/12/12-- Here are some mirrors for the PD98IMG files that were hosted on multiupload. Hopefully multiupload isnt down for good, so in the mean time i have them on depositfiles

Inspire 4g stock Rom: http://depositfiles.com/files/4ofstmcse

Telus DHD stock Rom: http://depositfiles.com/files/mec1ycc7k

WWE DHD Stock Rom (Sense 3.0) : http://depositfiles.com/files/nmxfys544

CWR Recovery-make sure to rename

http://hoxnet.com/droid/PD98IMG_cwm5026_recovery.zip

1/26/12- note for all, because of recent events regarding megaupload, those links do not work. Simply use and alternate

1/7/12- changed link to ruu's. Old link no longer had dhd version only NAM versions. Thanks to football for.the link

12/23/11-included note of flashing prerooted PD98IMG as a preferred preference so one doesnt have to reroot-Thanks fernandezhjr

I'm hoping to add a link to a preroot dhd pd98 to the guide. If one you know of a link I'll gladly add it

Reworded use of RUU to stock rom when referencing the PD98 file as to avoid confusion of RUU.exe that is run from a pc-Thanks preacher

Edited to cover up my newbish mistake. Maatsby knows why lol
[Desire HD General] maatsby:
haha, glad I could help. we all make newbish mistakes now and then, especially past a reasonable hour ;)
[Desire HD General] fernandezhjr:
One doesn't have to unroot if they don't want to flash the recovery through hboot. One can place a rooted version of the stock rom on the SD card as a pd98img zip and boot into hboot. Once flashed, just go to the market and install rom manager and flash recovery from there. At this point, one is rooted stock and free to flash a custom rom at any time. This saves from the need to reroot the device. Of course this is provided one already has s-off when the problem hit.
[Desire HD General] marsdta:
I did make in the note of guide, though it was in the last step. Ill add a note further up. I didn't suggest that way first as I dont have a link for a prerooted pd98 for dhd users. In the inspire section I did recommend the easier way as you suggested. Ill see if I can find a prerooted dhd pd98 and add it
[Desire HD General] fernandezhjr:
When I made my post, I was lost and thought I was in the Inspire thread. Lol. I knew I had seen this over there last night, but it disappeared on me. What happened is a mod quickly stickied it and I hadn't clicked on the stickies tab earlier. I see where you suggested it now.
[Desire HD General] 8m39:
thanks. u just save my phone.

tmobile help please

Please can anybody download t mobile ota update ? i need to flash the update zip file to my t mobile dhd because i have installed tmobile ruu and my phone wont boot it is stuck in t mobile boot loop i have no root and my hboot says

ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF RL.

I have an unbranded dhd but i dont know if i can install tmobile ruu on to it to download the tmobile ota update myself.. i have done this with my htc bravo's

one was virgin and the other was unbranded i was able to s-off the unbranded bravo using revolutionay.io and install virgin ruu on it and downloaded the ota zip file but didnt install it and copied it to my virgin bravo and installed the update can i do this with dhd ace ?
[Desire HD General] marsdta:
if you have supercid on the unbranded you can do that, though i dont think the ota will get you out of the bootloop. When you installed the tmo RUU it does take about 15 min to do its thing. did you give it enough time?

You could reflashing the Tmo ruu, but since your soff i would personally use the WWE version
[Desire HD General] Hunterdiver:
Sorry Guys looking for some extra help, I was flashing a radio on GB and something went wrong... I am running a custom rom and am rooted with ENG s-off.

when I start i get a black scree for about 10-15 minutes, then I get a white screen with HTC on it and it vibrates for a good 5 minutes, then it goes to a white HTC screen with quietly good (or something similar) and eventually the phone will start.

I had ext4 CWM installed on it originally but I do not get any recovery options either in HTC or CWM.

I've tried using the instructions here with adb a recovery image to no avail.

The phone is currently 2.3.5 with HTC sense it was Android Revolution HD 6.3.2 by mike 1986.

---------- Post added at 11:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:41 PM ----------

Fixed it thanks ....

managed to solve the delay after booting by following these steps:

Q&A DHD Page 175 post 1749 lebsir
[Desire HD General] mrsaccess:
Hello! I have a Desire HD that is stuck at the Hboot, no recovery or anything.

I managed to flash some ROMs, either through Hboot or RUU but even then, the phone stays stuck at Hboot.

I tried many official ROMs and RUUs. The ones that can be flashed succesfully are the main zip from this thread (WWE Stock Rom) and the two Sense 3.0 WWE RUUs.

The update process seems to proceed fine, but at the end, when I reboot the device, it gives me 7 vibrations at the white HTC screen, then the screen goes black and stays stuck for ever (or at least for 2 hours).

I do not know much about the device, only that it had a custom rom and one day this happened.

If you have any suggestions or ideas, I'd be glad to hear. Even some generic (short) answers will do if you have any idea at all. :)

HTC service says that because of the custom software, the phone isn't anymore under warranty and they need to replace the motherboard.
[Desire HD General] tehdane:
I've tried flashing the PD98IMG.zip in the first thread, for the phones with S-ON (WWE STOCK). I still can't get my phone to read the file, though. I've tried with 3 different SD cards, 1GB, 8GB and 32GB. It says "No image or wrong image"

The problem came when I tried to use HTC's own root software. I followed the guide found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1528925

I installed the recovery, no problem afterwards. Then I installed Cyanogen, without taking a backup, goddamnit. :(

And now I have a white screen with the HTC logo, and no progress.

Any suggestions?
[Desire HD General] marsdta:
That guide is actually missing a step, and its why your phone wont boot. After you flashed cm you need to boot back into hboot and flash the boot.img.

To do this on your PC open up a copy of the cm zip and pull out boot.img. place that file where fastboot files are located as he states for recovery and run the command.

Fastboot flash boot boot.img

Now reboot your phone and all should be fine.

Since you decided to do the HTC Dev method you have to flash the boot.img seperatley for every rom. 4ext recovery has a new option that bypasses this step.you may want to flash that recovery.

As to why your phone wont find the WWW ruu.not sure how having an unlocked bootloader effects things. I think it might have to be relocked I order to flash it but not sure as I've never done it.

Personally I would relock the bootloader and see if the pd98 works then root correctly with the hack kit
[Desire HD General] tehdane:
Oh man, thanks marsdta! It worked!

You're a lifesaver! :D

Seems like a bad idea I followed that guide, then. Then I'll try to relock it, when I've pulled myself together.

I tried flashing Android Revolution HD 7.0.3 now, because I use that on my Sensation as well. Now I'm stuck in an endless bootloop, even though I applied the boot.img - I wonder what the problem is now. Bah, I'll just try another ROM.
[Desire HD General] chromeninja:
Hey guys, hoping you can help.

I have a DHD Voda-AU s-on which is stuck in a boot loop. I can however access HBOOT.

I have followed the instructions here (thanks marsdta) but keep getting a 'Incorrect CID' message when flashing a ROM. I have looked for a Voda ROM on these forums (and elsewhere) and there only seems to be images (not a RUU, etc.) of the stock Voda ROM available (I checked http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=842722 and http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=920876), which I cannot install given my limitations in only accessing HBOOT.

I've looked into flashing stock HTC ROMs (to no avail) and it appears I can't use a Gold Card or s-off my phone unless I can boot the phone.

Any ideas on how I can recover my phone?
[Desire HD General] marsdta:
What were you doing before it got in the boot loop. Unfortunately there is no ruu available for au but there is a few things you can try. 1) did you try a factory reset for within boot or stock recovery? Note don't do this if you were trying to root with the hack kit, as it'll get rid of USB debugging. You should check out the irc chat room for some help.

2) if above didn't work, you can try making a gold card manually then try flashing a wwe ruu/pd98img
[Desire HD General] chromeninja:
not sure why, but phone just locked up and the only thing I could access was the bootloader. I wasn't actually trying to do anything with the phone.

yes, tried factory reset - it appears to work but then once I boot the phone it gets stuck at the android lock screen (the unlock ring doesn't move). Eventually the phone reverts to boot looping.

The only instructions I could find for a Gold Card required access to a working phone - can anyone point me to instructions on how to create a GC with only bootloader access?
[Desire HD General] marsdta:
In the general section their is a thread that has a guide. You'll just need some kind of adapter to read the microsd card on a PC

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1248095
[Desire HD General] chromeninja:
Thanks for helping marsdta.

I tried to follow those instructions, however I am stuck at:

2. Launch GoldCard Helper on your phone. (Download Here)

3. Write down the ‘Card:mmc2, Reverse CID’ value, making sure to use mmc2 and not mmc1. (For how to find CID look at first post)

I am not sure how I can get my mmc2 value without access to my phone. I have been able to access my phone using Android SDK ADB, and able to getvar my CID, but I don't seem to be able to get my mmc2 value that way.
[Desire HD General] marsdta:
Whoops should have read it closer before I linked to it. I would search around for something that doesn't require it. I remember seeing it somewhere. I'll look as well and if I find the link I'll post it here
[Desire HD General] chromeninja:
Perhaps adb? It just occurred to me that I can access the phone - perhaps through the PULL command?? That way I can access the file referenced in the Goldcard post:

sys/class/mmc_host/mmc2/mmc2:0001 (you’ll find that 0001 will be different on your device) Long press on the CID file.

I don't have the phone with me at the moment, so will give it a shot when I get home.

Would still appreciate any other post that may help.

EDIT: Just found the following instructions, may also give this a shot.

4. Type the following command:

adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc2/mmc2:*/cid

5. Select and copy the cid
[Desire HD General] marsdta:
ADB doesnt work in while in hboot screen. i did find a program that reads the cid but it only does mmc1.(edit-looks like it needs a working phone as well) I think the fastest might just be to use someone else phone to get the cid
[Desire HD General] chromeninja:
So, just so I am clear, the mmc2 code is specific to the carrier's version of a phone, not to the phone itself??

Now I just need to find someone with a AU Vodafone DHD....
[Desire HD General] marsdta:
No I meant the cid of the SD card. So any android phone should do. Just pop in your SD card in another phone and use the gold card helper app to get the cid of the SD card.

I'm glad that this helped me. I did every step though,my phone is rooted and working again . I Just use the Pre-Stock Room . I was sad until i found this thread. It really Worked !!!

i not have enought battery with my phone and the phone doesn't charge on power supply.

It's possible to send me the pd98diag.zip to put in my sd card and try to recovery the phone?

now it's blocked on hboot...
[Desire HD General] devilmj:
i have an italian Desire HD, what kind of zip i have to download? thank u
[Desire HD General] marsdta:
I would find a way to charge the battery, before you attempted to flash a pd98img.

As to which one to download it depends. If you are soff then I'd say the 3.12.405(sense 3.0) I have linked in the guide. If your still son it depends if your branded. If your unbranded then 3.12 will do if you are branded then you need to get your carriers build version
[Desire HD General] devilmj:
but how can i solve it?

my desire HD italian is not working...

my device is s-on!

is still remaining in HBOOT 2.00 and then i charge the battery it ruing automaticly in Hboot and the battery does'nt charge.

how i can download this pd98diag for my phone?
[Desire HD General] Abdkamel:
Cant reach Hboot!!

I got HTC wight logo and never able to reach Hboot :(:(.

what can I do??

please help
[Desire HD General] Teichopsia:
What were you doing that you got stuck in that state?

Get adb installed on your pc, then you can run the command

To make sure it's working,

"adb devices"

To reboot into recovery.

"adb reboot recovery"

[Desire HD General] hadi_xman:
can i use method 1 if i m S-off..?

btw i dont understand even after reading a lot wat does this S-off and s-on means..?
[Desire HD General] marsdta:
Yes you can. It reinstalls cwr for those that have done a factory reset from within hboot.

Son/soff stand for security-on/off. When soff is set you are allowed to flash unsigned code to your phone like kernals,roms,other radios/cwr
[Desire HD General] Teichopsia:
When he boots in recovery its in chinesse (never heard of thid one before). I'm assuming he needs to flash a recovery. I am/was going to do a search for him later when I had a chance.

[Desire HD General] marsdta:
Yeah I've never heard of that one too. Reinstalling a recovery is a good idea. Though from reading his posts in your thread he has a working phone. If so he should just download 4ext and flash it, but pd98 will work aswell
[Desire HD General] hadi_xman:
you pick a right one... so should i flash cwm from adb or from method 2...? advice best one

and it there any chance that my phone can be hard brick...?

---------- Post added at 11:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 PM ----------

what is this 4ext recovery read it many places...

n from where n how to install/flash it...?
[Desire HD General] marsdta:
If you have a working phone with root I would go to 4ext.net and download it. Then install the recovery.

If not I would do the pd98img method unless you feel comfortable using fastboot commands
[Desire HD General] hadi_xman:
is there any risk of hard brick in these options...?
[Desire HD General] marsdta:
Their is always risk when doing stuff to your phone. I would say the pd98 method is safer than using ad/fast boot to flash things.

But like I said if you have a working phone with root there is no need to do these methods as its much easier to flash from the 4ext app, but both ways will get you a recovery installed
[Desire HD General] hadi_xman:
Ok then i m going for 4ext root..
[Desire HD General] marsdta:
new method for flashing recovery for those that do not have eng soff or the modiefied hboot from the AAHK. Thanks to glevitan for this method. didn know this method existed till he posted it when helping others
