Long story short: my cousin got a Nexus 4, it came, and as a result I get his hand-me-down Galaxy Nexus. :) I will still be around, but the ownership of my I4G is a question right now; it will probably get handed down to someone else.

I didn't realize how much stuff I had invested in the community here in the DHD/I4G forums, and I can continue to maintain the index threads for as long as possible in the foreseeable future (unless, Guy, you want them, or someone else does). However, without the device, I probably can't maintain the cfX flowcharts properly. I thought I would ask here as well as the ROM thread to see if anyone is willing to take that on.
[Desire HD General] GuyInTheCorner:

Why do all the good guys (and gals :D) have to leave us?

I'll have to think about the index thread cause I don't really do on xda using the computer too much, but I'll have to see.

Hi all,

As advised by GuyInTheCorner i am posting my question here,

I have spent the last week trying to solve my problem. Basically I tried to unlock the bootloader on my HTC desire HD using the instructions supplied by HTCDEV. Something happened during the unlocking process and now I have an unlocked bootloader and a phone that doesnt boot. The unlocking process didnt go through as I didnt get to the part where I have to work with the token. However, if I boot into bootloader, it shows that it is unlocked and s-on. I can get to the fastboot menu and the phone only boots to the HTC screen.

I have followed the instructions from the many posts in this forum without any luck. I cant seem to be able to flash anything through fastboot. I keep getting errors such signature failed error 132 and error 131. I cant access recovery. It gives out errors whenever i try to access it. ADB doesnt work. The device doesnt get picked up in windows. I tried flashing recovery without any luck. The CID is HTC_612. The firmware version is 1.31.405.6.

I tried to use an RUU but I always get the error that the RUU that i am using is not the one for my rom or that the signature verification is wrong.

Any advice?

Thanks
[Desire HD General] glevitan:
Best bet is to flash the insecure image for the last Inspire version from here: http://tau.shadowchild.nl/attn1/?p=88, relock the bootloader, and then run the Hack Kit from the white splash screen. Have you factory reseted the phone?
[Desire HD General] Galam:
Hi glevitan,

Thank you for the reply.

I tried to flash as you described but this is what I get:

C:\Downgrade>fastboot flash boot boot.img

sending 'boot' (2764 KB)... OKAY [ 0.466s]

writing 'boot'... INFOsignature checking...

FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)

finished. total time: 0.918s

And yes, I have tried factory reset, what it does is show a screen with a triangle then the phone reboots and gets stuck on the HTC screen again.

Any other suggestions?
[Desire HD General] glevitan:
you need unlocked bootloader to flash that image.,anyway have you tried flashing CWM to see if your bootloader is successfully unlocked?
[Desire HD General] Teichopsia:
Some off topic.

Last night, I slept for an hour, woke up, smoked a cig, grabbed my cell and went back to bed while just browsing the net. All of a sudden I heard a chirp of some sorts, just one and not being sure what it was nor where it came from, I went to sleep on the couch. Later on this day, my sister came over with my 3 and half yr old niece and we all heard the noise again after having told her what happened last night. We searched my room, we then heard it in the living room but we were not sure where it was coming from. You can't imagine how many times it chirped (by this time we had determined it was a bird) and how we searched, we even checked under a sofa chair. I even whistled and the birdie responded a few times, go figure. They left, I went to smoke and heard the darn bird again outside, figuring it may belong to a neighbor, tried to look, didn't see anything. After smoking I went back inside, browsing the net with my phone and the darn thing chirped.

Soooo.... how is the ubuntu for smartphones looking for ya'all? I've read that ubuntu isn't even a good distro for our pc's. Perhaps because lately they have been focusing on deving a distro for phones and tv's? maybe. Does look wicked awesome (which is a phrase I'm trying to teach my niece :silly:)

How I am meant to flash recovery if the only thing I can do is access fastboot and flashing stuff through fastboot is not working. When trying to flash recovery I get the same error Remote signature verify failed.

I dont think the bootloader is unlocked. I know it doesnt show that it is looked in fastboot but I do beleive it is locked. How can I unlock it other than the method described by HTCDEV?
[Desire HD General] spookykidmt:
i would like to thank all you people here in the desire hd fora. you were an amazing comunity and very helpful. I now sold my desire hd and looking for an other device. probably the nexus or note 2.

[Desire HD General] glevitan:
Then you are not unlocked...maybe you got stuck in the middle and that is why you can not flash images. Do you mind if I have a look over teamviewer?? once you unlocked the device, it will be much easier to decide what to do.

I am liking the note 2 above all other phones specs. It is big but I'm sure once you have it you can't go back. Just like the 3.5 inch screen seemed big when it came out but now seems small compared to the new stuff. I got til august before an upgrade though so who knows what ill end up with.
[Desire HD General] Gizmoe:
You can use a PD98IMG to change radio. Also the hack kit has an option to install an eng s off hboot now.
[Desire HD General] Gizmoe:
I've changed back and forth from older to New and new to older radios with PD98IMG. As for Aahk it just flashes an hboot version from the options menu. It will work in your current state. Only won't work if you aren't s off.
[Desire HD General] glevitan:
Yes, the Hack Kit works with a phone rooted but it has to be S-OFF already. To gain S-OFF on a rooted device with a custom rom, flash a stock RUU and then the hack kit. Best chance of success
[Desire HD General] glevitan:
Ok, then just use the options in the Hack Kit. The tradicional ENG S-OFF will mess your bootloader. The Hack Kit has a modified ENG S-OFF that works flawlessly.

I have Been using Android 4+ roms (sense and cm) for the last one year. But I still don't find any good sounding rom. I bought this phone because of dolby, but dolby sounds good only in GB roms. Is there any mods to sound exactly like GB roms? Is there really a need to use a ics+ rom? :confused:
[Desire HD General] Gizmoe:
I'm with you on that one. Only sense GB roms have good sound in my experience.
[Desire HD General] GuyInTheCorner:
If you guys are after good sound music wise, you'll have to invest a (fair) bit of $$.

Pick up a good set of headphones (Can't go wrong with Sennheiser, picked up a pair of CX 300's for £50) and buy PowerAmp (or pirate it, doesn't bother me). Beat sound experience ever, music wise

[Desire HD General] pitastrudl:
I agree with the guyinthecorner, i have a pair fo sennheiser for 20€ and i bought poweramp(screw the pirate version, have to keep patching it). With android revolution that has dolby, i must say the sound is spectacular. And sennheiser has some really good quality headphones, i already have them for like a year or so.It came with a nifty little bag to store them in. IMHO beats doesnt do anything with the audio quality, its just placebo...
[Desire HD General] GuyInTheCorner:
Patch the pirate version? Search Apotide for it. And I agree, Beats is just a placebo, doesn't do anything.

I might not be on xda as much, mums taking my DHD away from me, AGAIN

[Desire HD General] pitastrudl:
I did own a pirate version for some time but after every wipe/rom install i had to repach it, so it annoyed me, i tryed like 10 different free music players, and none came close to poweramp. Its truly awesome, i recommend buying it.

With tasker also have set up a profile that makes the music start playing when i insert headphones(if the screen is off), otheriwse if the screen is on, it displays a notification in the status bar and if i want to play some music i click it and it opens poweramp and starts playing, When i plug them out it pauses the music and kills the app. but this profile is not tied to poweramp, tasker can emulate media keys such as pause,play,forward etc, but not sure if it can work with other music players.

It does seem that it got worse by using this cellphone (my first smartphone). But yeah, i'll try to rest it a bit and will probably see a chiropractor next month. Hopefully he can help. He did alleviate the pain previously.

If texting on your phones is giving you problems with your forearms and wrists, you could try using a sliding type of keyboard.

It saves tapping a lot. I saw a friend using Swype on his Samsung a couple of years ago so I searched for a similar app and found one called "SlideIT Keyboard". It's about $4 - $7 on the marketplace and there's a 15 day free trial version. At the moment its on sale at about $4. It's been the best app I've purchased. It's also got the ability to add customized words and language packs.

Worry before rooting: What happens to "my" radio and how to restore if needed?

I've got a T-mobile (Germany) branded DHD that I'd like to root etc and upgrade to a newer, but still stable, ICS/JB ROM. My current stock build is labelled "3.13.111.3 CL239314 release-keys", with baseband (radio) version "12.65.60.29U_26.14.04.28_M". This is obviously Gingerbread 2.3.5 with Sense 3.0 on top.

I understand that using the aahk, I can prepare my DHD for installing another non-HTC ROM. For this, I will be using my Linux (64-bit) computer, which already has adb and fastboot installed from a Android/Eclipse development platform installation. The USB link works; I have shell'ed to the phone already.

The particular ROM that I have does not seem to be available anywhere on the net; the closest I've found is the "WWE 3.12.405.1" with radio "12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28" (no U, otherwise same?).

Hence, I would ideally like to make a complete backup of my present ROM and radio before root'ing -- even though I don't need the t-mo.de branding.

However, as far as I can tell, during the root'ing/aahk'ing, my phone needs to be downgraded first to the generic "WWE EU GB 2.50.405.2" version, so I assume I will loose my current ROM and not be able to back it up later once it is lost. Further, from looking at hack-ace.sh, some radio flashing possibly happens, so I am worried I may loose not only the Android ROM but also the baseband/radio image...

My questions are thus:

1) Is there any way I could make a (full) backup of the current ROM and baseband/radio, in order to be able to fully bring it back to its present state, if I ever need to?

2) Even if not, then what actually happens to my particular baseband/radio version during the aahk process? Will it be retained at "12.65.60.29U_26.14.04.28_M" or will I loose this version (as it may look like). This may also have a very obvious answer, but I've not been able to tell yet.

3) Assuming I may loose the radio: the RUU I've downloaded has radio "12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M", which is the same version number as mine but without "U". Is it actually the same radio or are there different version with and without the "U"? If not, what will I loose if I have to use the non-U version?

Thanks in advance for any help to clear up my confusion/worries!

Old article: researchers found that ZTE has set backdoors on their android phones.

http://www.zdnet.com/researchers-find-backdoor-on-zte-android-phones-3040155224/

Way to check those vulnerability, decompiled ROM and digging before install.

Even Thinking the easy way is install, use not much different, then see what's on WireShark.

Am I paranoid?
