Well it might seem that I'm leaving too...

This is the 4th screen I've shattered on my DHD in 3 months and my parents (naturally) are refusing to help me out.. So unless I can replace it myself or find £30 to get it fixed, I guess this is goodbye..

Let's just say I'm pretty damned clumsy. First time it slipped from my mum's car roof (I left it there by mistake), Second time it was my girlfriends fault (she dropped it by mistake) and third time was from me (unsuccessfully) trying to catch it in the air.

I pretty much abuse this thing, but it soldiers on. Only thing wrong with it is the missing volume rocker (it fell out and I keep it in my room for safekeeping). Other than that its in mint condition, headphones and all. I trip over the charger a lot, I sent it flying across my room once. Fun stuff. I also managed to step on it. Ouch.

Can u help me?

I need another Hboot or???

Thank You

[Desire HD General] glevitan:
Maybe a little more reading will do the trick. Unlocking the bootloader does not mean sim unlock the phone. So, you will be still be carrier locked after that.

In any case you mentioned flashing the boot.img in fastboot, have you?
[Desire HD General] GuyInTheCorner:
Re: Ace Think Tank [Noob friendly - aahk, softbricks, bootloops, edify, etc]

Best thing would be to use an RUU to go back to fully stock, then root using the Advance Ace Hack Kit. That'll give you S-OFF, Sim Unlock (SuperCID), and you only need to flash the ROM directly, no need for flashing Boot.IMG

I was about to recommend that phone; I know people who really like it (though when they ask me for help I have absolutely no idea what to do with the thing, and then they look at me like, but I thought you knew phones!). But I was also going to say: if buying used is an option there, Tei, maybe consider getting a gently used phone that was top-of-the-line 1-2 years ago. Some people buy new phones and sell their old ones annually. That might give her a wider array of choices while still keeping the price point down.

Re: Ace Think Tank [Noob friendly - aahk, softbricks, bootloops, edify, etc]

I would think so since they use the same packaging system. I couldn't do it in Arch Linux because its repositories don't have Ubuntu's phablet-tools.

EDIT: never mind, just found it in Arch's AUR. Oh, well; I've already installed Ubuntu 12.10 on my spare laptop.

Hey!! sorry I am a bit late with replies, but I have been working to get the S-OFF tool. The script is all written but needs further reading. I will have to make some fixes and include some checks that might be dangerous not to have (md5sum's for partitions)

[Desire HD General] bananagranola:
Wait, why do you need a launchpad account? I'm following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Porting and I don't remember anything about that.

And a little wary about that pic. Not so much you guys, but the general gurlz on the internetz at large...
[Desire HD General] Teichopsia:
this is the part Im working on: We expect the Ubuntu Touch packages won't need changes for new devices; the usual processes for contributing to Ubuntu apply, such as the SponsorshipProcess.

Sponsorship has a link, which takes you to setting up the tools.

Regarding the pic, it's kinda unfair you know. I've seen Glevitans forhead on his video tutorials and have heard his voice. We've seen GuyintheCorners big fat thumb.

I kinda figured something was off when you were suprised about launchpad. Oh well, learned some new stuff (not really cause I have no idea about half the things I did and I'm dead tired as well and I should have studied for a test I have tomorrow instead of this)

[Desire HD General] bananagranola:
By the way, I'm currently downloading the source. Is there any reason we can't just remove the other devices from the manifest, since we won't use them anyway? Then it wouldn't take so long to download.
[Desire HD General] Teichopsia:
I haven't reached that part yet and I need to get some sleep. Could you help me with this part before I go?

This: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:phablet-team/tools worked so I wouldn't need to do the next step if I understood correctly.

This is the part that isn't working for me:

You'll also need to set up the tools PPA. This will also install the repo tool, used to sync the Android repositories. Learn more about the repo tool.

All the Android code can be downloaded from the phablet-dev-bootstrap tool provided by the phablet-tools package installed in the previous step:

To get the code setup run:

phablet-dev-bootstrap [target_directory]
[Desire HD General] bananagranola:
Is phablet-dev-bootstrap not recognized? After you added the repository (which adds that particular repository to your computer's list of places where it can find packages), did you

sudo apt-get update

(which updates your computer's database of available packages) and then

sudo apt-get install phablet...something or other

(which actually installs the phablet tools)? The precise command is in that "set up the tools PPA" link.
[Desire HD General] Teichopsia:
Re: Ace Think Tank [Noob friendly - aahk, softbricks, bootloops, edify, etc]

So you've downloaded the general stuff; now we need to download the device-specific stuff. We don't have an official CM. So I'm using Mustaavslkosta's manifest from his github android repository. You need the kernel, vendor, and device lines for Ace. Then use repo sync to download those new repos.

[Desire HD General] Teichopsia:
When I went over to Mustaavalkosta to get the files, I did not quite understand once I go to:

android_vendor_cm/

vendor_htc_ace and vendor_pizza, qcoms

@teichopsia, now you have to download the newest build of cyogenmod and either flash it onto your device and run a script to extract the needed binary files or manually extract the files into the right directory. You can download it at http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?type=nightly&device=ace

ou have to go into the device/htc/ace folder and open the extract-files.sh in a texteditor.

yes, you can either flash it onto your device and run the "extract-files.sh" or open the "extract-files.sh" file and replace every $MANUFACTURER with htc and every $DEVICE whith acd and copy every single file to the targeted directory

so the first line you need would be "mkdir -p ../../../vendor/$MANUFACTURER/$DEVICE/proprietary", this has to be run from the device/htc/ace directory, or you also have to edit the path.

after running this, you should have a directory "vendor/htc/ace/proprietary", go to it and create the folders and files given in the "extract-files.sh" from the downloaded file into this path.

I believe that's pretty much it as far as for what Danwin helped with.
[Desire HD General] bananagranola:
The thing is, DanWin's method assumes that the proprietary drivers haven't changed since CM7, since that's the last CM-supported version for Ace. I figured using Mustaavalkosta's stuff would be more compatible.

I added this to .repo/manifest.xml.

<project path="vendor/cm" name="Mustaavalkosta/android_vendor_cm" revision="jb-mv" remote="github" />
<project path="vendor/htc/ace" name="Mustaavalkosta/android_vendor_htc_ace" revision="cm-10.1" remote="github" />
<project path="vendor/pizza" name="Mustaavalkosta/android_vendor_pizza" revision="jb-mv" remote="github" />
