1. I have never heard of that rom version but if it exists you can find it with some searching. There are ways to back it up but its really more of a hassle just to save a stock image. I would just flash the 3.12 ruu if needed.

2+3. The Aahk downgrade will change radio but you should be able to find it in dhd radio thread. There is no difference between one with u and one without. The u is just a build prop setting in Rom.

26.14.04.28 is the same radio either way.
[Desire HD General] glevitan:
Ok, besides to what Gizmoe said, If you really are willing to backup your current rom, you can unlock the bootloader, flash CWM, make a backup, relock the bootloader and then run the Hack Kit.

That is the only way to do a nand backup before running the hack Kit in versions that need to be downgraded. Once you are S-OFF, you can flash and reflash any radio you are willing to. Just gotta find the one you want in the radio threads in the forum. :good:

Hey I was having a look at the thread Guy just posted. To be frank, I am always a bit reluctant to use that tool that involves downgrading, not having enough information to what exact version is done. That having in mind the bootloader issue and that the fix is not easy nor fast.

Many of the links in that site are down, so support might not be the best. I always prefer to support tools I am familiar with.
[Desire HD General] pnomandk:
Gizmoe, glevitan: Cool, thanks for the quick replies! Very helpful.

Good to know the radios are the same; I was afraid of potentially loosing some important settings/adaptations that enabled HSxPA (I assumed the U might had something to do with the xxUxx part).

I wasn't aware of this being possible (unlocking the bootloader without rooting/S-OFF'ing), but I'm also new to this eco system, so there's probably tons of things I don't know yet... I'll have a look at how to do that first, then and see how easy (or not) that is :)

More questions on unlocking the bootloader

I had a look into this now. I assume the prescribed route is to use the HTC supplied bootloader unlocker (not allowed to link), which, for the DHD version 3.12.405.1 (HTC Europe) that I have, requires that I first update hboot, using this RUU from a windows machine: PD9810000_Ace_Sense30_S_hboot_2.00.0029.exe

1a) Would it be better to use aahk to install the "'ENG' Hboot for Devices running GB Sense 3" (seems to be version 2.00.2728, i.e. possibly newer than the HTC -- or maybe something completely different) instead of using the HTC supplied RUU above, if it works with the HTC tool?

1b) Or if not, will aahk be happy to work with the HTC supplied hboot 2.00.0029?

2) ... and to prevent me from doing something irreversible: Is it actually OK to use this HTC supplied tool, with or without their hboot update, then using the fastboot process described by HTC to unlock the device, in order to install CWM, back up my ROM's, before relocking and rooting?

3) Is the relock just an "fastboot oem lock" afterwards?

TIA!
[Desire HD General] GuyInTheCorner:
Hey :) welcome to the forums :D

Easiest way to gain root and S-OFF is to use the Ace Hack Kit. It give you root, S-OFF & Super CID (SIM Unlock). Just Google Search it its easy to find :D

The Corner approves..

That thanks button ain't gonna push itself!

You just clicked this cause its hidden didn't you?
[Desire HD General] glevitan:
In order to unlock the bootloader, you need to flash an unlockable bootloader first, so if you fail to flash that, you won't be able to accomplish that.

The Hack Kit can work perfectly with that hboot, it will replace it anyway.

After doing the backup, just boot in fastboot usb and type that command. Reboot the bootloader (fastboot reboot-bootloader) and then you have to see *RELOCKED* at the top...

He wanted to do a Nand backup first..so I suggested unlocking the bootloader, flashing CWM, doing the backup and then relock and run the kit.
[Desire HD General] GuyInTheCorner:
Ahh.. Misunderstood him then :/

[Desire HD General] pnomandk:
Thanks, but as glevitan also mentioned, this unlock/relock detour is mainly because I (being (too) cautious) want to backup my existing ROM as it is not available anywhere on the net ... just in case I want to restore later.

All clear then, thanks. I feel better being safe than sorry -- although it might turn out to be a bit more work than first anticipated. I'll be back if I run into more trouble tomorrow when trying this out...

NEW LINKS

Hey guys, I added a google drive link for the Ace guide, as dropbox suspended my account for 3 days for excess traffic....:confused:

Anyway, now you have some other source to get it from...:cyclops:
[Desire HD General] pnomandk:
In case others have similar problems:

After having battled windows driver problems ("Android 1.0"), which were caused by the HTC hboot updater being a windows executable, it turns out that the hboot updated does not (currently) support my specific ROM version 3.13.111.3. It halts and says there is not yet a version that can reflash the hboot in my phone, although there will be.

So I guess there is really no way I can backup my phone then before rooting and proceeding with flashing some ICS/JB version instead.

I'll assume I have to forget the backup and jump straight to the aahk kit -- and then just revert to a generic HTC stock image in case I ever need to go back...

its ledmodu

Hello, i have a question.

I full backup my phone by using CWM 5.0.7 i think, and at that time I used viperdhd. Then i flashed into ARHD, and then i try to use my backup for restore.. And it shows error in /system! something... from what i read, we need to have the same ROM installed before restore, so i try flash the viperdhd again and after that, restore the backup. But still the same error happened..

So now i was in ext4 recovery and i have already done full backup using that recovery. So, my question is, what steps do we need to do before full restore? Do we need to wipe all partition except sdcard first before restore or what? Or just fresh installed the same rom and restore without doing any wipe?
[Desire HD General] glevitan:
No...no need to wipe anything when restoring. That sounds like your backup got corrupted...you don't need to be in the same rom to restore a backup. But CWM and 4ext backups might not be compatible....
[Desire HD General] yumm91:
CWM check for the md5 sum first before restoring, which means that the md5 sum is matched, if not it will not proceed with restoring..

So, this means that the files got corrupted DURING backup, and it generates the md5 sum of the corrupted file isn’t? So, if we don’t need to flash any ROM before restore, it means that the backup is kinda like ROM + our preconfigured setting right?

Can we use this backup and restore it to another phone? Assuming that the ROM is compatible for that particular phone.

Sounds right.

PD98IMG.zip files are used to flash withouth the fastboot flash method, you just put it on the root of your SDcard and reboot to bootloader, it scans the sdcard for it when booted and installs it. flashing the radio.img method you have to put the radio.img in the same directoy as the fastboot file is(where your adb tools are located). Also install 4ext recovery and dont use any apps that uses recovery to install stuff e.g. rom manager.
[Desire HD General] pnomandk:
Thanks for the reply:

Yep, that's what I did.

The phone detected the 26.14 based PD98IMG.zip allright during the manual volume/power initiated boot sequence and did scan it somehow, but refused to flash it. The 26.17 based PD98IMG.zip flashed correctly using the same method.

Come to think of it, maybe it is required that the zip file contains also an android-info.txt file, as did the zip file that worked eventually.

Doesn't explain why the unzipped radio.img would not flash from a "adb reboot bootloader" followed by a "fastboot flash radio radio.img" when the phone was ready, but that's probably something else... Not sure if CWM could cause this?

OK -- wasn't aware of problems with ROM Manager. So I guess I can just uninstall ROM manager without any adverse effects?

Should I check if CWM is installed before I remove ROM manager and installs 4ext recovery, or are 4ext and CWM mutually exclusive?

Thanks for helping out!

-- Per.
[Desire HD General] pitastrudl:
Yes i think the PD98IMG.zip does need the android-info.text in that, im not sure, but i rather flash radios with fastboot method. Yes you can remove rommanager, its not connected to your recovery, it just "manages" it as its stated in its name. No need to check if cwm is installed. Just look up on google for the 4ext recovery control application, its on xda i think. and use it to flash the latest 4ext for our desire hd, make sure its the touch version. 4ext is much better than cwm. the application installs it without any problems.

[Desire HD General] pnomandk:
Figured out why the browser kept running...

I think I eventually figured out what was/is causing this... For various reasons, my sync'ed bookmarks database is rather large. And whenever the phone started to sync, it would ask the browser to sync too, and due to the number of bookmarks, it took ages (or at least many hours). Since I didn't have the patience to wait for this to complete, it never got around to finish.

I started to suspect this, and sure enough -- even though all contacts and calendars were sync'ed correctly, there were errors in the sync (due to me killing the browser prematurely). Starting a sync would immediately start up the browser and it would continue to consume all the CPU time for hours.

Now I finally let it finish syncing, resulting in a 12 MB database in /data/data/com.android.browser/databases -- and it looks like subsequent syncs are much faster. So hopefully I won't see the problem again. Maybe some inefficient coding in the .db file access.

Just wanted to share this, in case others have similar problems.

Now I just have to figure out why muting the phone isnt' working and why I cannot manually select networks. On JT R30 it is apparently known errors, but it would be nice to get that working too! For the mute error (i.e. the mute button doesn't work when pressed), logcat tells me just this:

D/InCallScreen( 1881): onMuteClick(): newMuteState = true

D/InCallScreen( 1881): onMuteClick(): newMuteState = false

as expected, so no apparent error messages. On the other hand, nothing is signalled from ALSO or the AudioHardwareMSM7X30 driver, which I thought I would have seen... So maybe there is a call missing to the right mute action in the hardware?

On the failing (phone/GSM/UMTS) network search: Could this be caused by the RIL and the actual radio being misaligned? I thought non-sense ROMs do not use RIL?

(All this on a HTC Desire HD / JT R30 and radio version 26.17)
[Desire HD General] pitastrudl:
afaik non-sense roms already have a ril integrated and do not need to have a corresponding ril flashed. Flashing a ril on a non-sense rom could brake your connectivity e.g data,calls. Also rils should be flashed only on GB sense roms. Call mute is a known error but its close to being fixed, or its already(i cant remember). Though im using ARHD 6.4, i would more than love to have JB, but there are too many issues to focus and nothing beats stabillity from a modded stock rom :).
[Desire HD General] glevitan:
Well, those phones look nice, however are not smooth or butter smooth as they should being quadcore with jelly bean out of the box. Bravia engine is way to heavy...I guess that if you are waiting until july you can have a look at the Galaxy S IV.

Samsung has done an amazing job with mobile devices. Since I got my note, there have been at least 3 updates (two were bug fixes), but more than the Inspire that got just 1 update and the second was almost 2 after buying the phone and had nothing new as my device was rooted and had been flashed several times.

HTC is dead for me, not even in my plans...

If you can, I would wait it out till the end of the year, beginning of next year. I believe it's qualcomm who will start releasing new chips by the middle/end of this year with better speeds and battery consumption, besides other little things here and there.

If having a Nexus is important to you, I would recommend buying the Galaxy Nexus, either on-contract for $50 or so or on eBay used. I was handed down a "Nexus 3" from my cousin who got a Nexus 4, and having tried both out, I think the relatively minor spec increases of the N4 don't reflect the massive current price (and availability) difference between it and the Galaxy Nexus.

I mean, if someone handed me an N4 I certainly wouldn't say no, but my point is that the previous Nexus is still a great phone.
