[Desire HD General] saj_rs:
Hi I have a DHD on 2.3.5 - 3.13.110.4 sense 3.0,

I have been reading and trying a lot of things over the past week like downgrading to below 132..... but am getting a dollor sign. I have given up but thought i would ask for some help to guide me

I want to flash a custom rom on the phone as htc does not update there rom's.

I have unlocked the booter using the tool but now am stuck with the cmw recovery part as i cant find a guide to do this.
[Desire HD General] iopetja:
Cwm has no guide. First download the desired ROM to your phone, then go to "install zip from SDcard" and it will flash new ROM.

Read a few posts back, you'll find them helpful.

whats wrong with AAHK? a new thread has been opened providing all files to it as the dev abandoned the project. its literally 1 click.:highfive:
[Desire HD General] iopetja:
Nothing except there's no support.

Take a look at Q&A, there already is one and will be more of such users where one unsupported click went wrong.

[Desire HD General] bananagranola:
More detail on what state your phone was in, what you did, and what state it is in now would be nice.
[Desire HD General] glevitan:
I am on holidays. Red triangle Is stock recovery. You need a custom recovery To flash superuser

HTC Desire HD

Hi.

I have a problem with my HDH. I have unlocked my HDH with HTCDev. Have rooted my phone and iam on S-ON. Iam in Hboot 2.00.0029

Have installed tools for installing custom rom, rom manager and installed titanium for backups.

When I try to reboot in to recovery mod of rom manager i get a red triangle and on top of that, I get "E:can't open /cache/recovery/command", so I cant acess my sdcard witch works fine and I have tried other SDcard with same result.

So I cant access my rom manger in recovery mode. Ha also tried "AAHK" method but its failed.

So iam trying to learning about how to flash in adb mode but cant find a step to step guide to how to get a custom rom installed with out clockwork manager.

Iam turning to you on XDA to help me as you are my last hope before i give up to installing a custom rom on my DHD.
[Desire HD General] heywheelie:
Have you flashed CWM or 4EXT recovery?
[Desire HD General] Glimmerdaboss:
HTC desire HD

Havent flashed in CWM. Just installed CWm as .apk files and then started app and then started recovery in rom manager.
[Desire HD General] glevitan:
Recovery Is an .img file as Is a partition not an app.
[Desire HD General] bananagranola:
I don't think you've flashed a recovery properly. What did you do to install a recovery? You are supposed to download a recovery.img, say the DHD one from the ClockworkMod website, and "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" from your computer.
[Desire HD General] Glimmerdaboss:
Htc desire hd

OK thx for the support.

I have solved this matter.

I followed this gudie and "WOLA" VWM was in recovery so now iam trying out sevral different JB roms for my DHD.

So thx for helping mee.

Inspire 4g Freezing

Here is where I am at. I got an Inspire 4g from a friend that had soft bricked the phone. with a lot of reading and a few emails I have got CMW touch, unlocked with S-on. I followed the instructions in you OP and got first the unofficial CM10.1 and then the PAC rom installed. On both roms I will get random freezing. Not being sure what exactly my friend did to the phone I am starting to wonder if this could be an issue compatability of the radio or something haywire with the hboot.

Any suggestions.

Thanks
[Desire HD General] bananagranola:
Did you do a full wipe first?
[Desire HD General] twcobra:
Sure did. I wiped twice on the Pac rom. It does seam to be related to the HW overlay bug reported in the Pac Rom OP. What is weird is that the box will uncheck itself on reboot. Unfortunaly the Pac Rom thread seams to be kind of dead when asking for suggestions. I am tempted to take it down to ICS to see if it would be more stable then JB. I had picked this phone up for my fiancee so having it lock up on her is not good. I may have to give her my S2 and take the Inspire so I can give it my full attention.
[Desire HD General] bananagranola:
Flash Android Revolution HD. It is mostly stock. If you still have problems with it, something is probably wrong with your hardware. Otherwise, it's the ROM.

[Desire HD General] bananagranola:

[Desire HD General] cre8ive65:

[Desire HD General] bananagranola:
Without a basic explanation of what state your phone is in, what steps you've taken, and what error messages you're getting, no one can help you.
[Desire HD General] adj1017:
do i need to downgrade to 2.00.0029?
[Desire HD General] JustforhereforRooting:
Hi, first of all thanks for all the info this topic already given me. But I still have a problem. I've followed the steps for the bootloader, HTC DEV and other links. But my S-ON 2.00.0027 doesn't respond well (sadly). So now I'm going for the goldcard method. The problem is that the description from the OP is rather cryptic for me. So I would like to verify some steps and ask some questions before I start:

First bit (and most critical I guess):

My software version is 3.12.405.2, if I check shipped roms this is the one that probably comes close but it's 405.1

RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_WWE_3.12.405.1_Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_225512_signed.exe

Can anybody advice which Rom I should take (which one is higher and how do I determine if a ROM is supported?)? I just want stock + root (I'm happy with the phone as it is, but 2 apps need root). Was there ever a 'official' Jelly Bean update available they didn't want to release OTA? Or if I want to go to Jelly Bean I'm always stuck with a custom rom that probably comes with some issues (I'm not the experimental type I was anymore ;)).

Second bit:

Flash it in the PD98IMG.zip way:

Is this what is meant with the PD98IMG.zip way?:

Thanks in advance!
[Desire HD General] cre8ive65:
Basically I tried to get the identifier token and it says "ERR command error". My research suggests that this is because I'm on 2.00.0027 and I need to be on 2.00.0029. However no matter how many times I try to update to 2.00.0029 I can't because TELUS decided to opt out of the bootloader unlock option from HTC, so from what I understand I need to retry using a goldcard, which i cannot make.

Am I doing anything wrong?
[Desire HD General] glevitan:
I wouldn't know as I am not in your home sitting next to you. As you say, your bootloader is not supported to unlock, so you need to update it.

Why are you not able to create a goldcard?
[Desire HD General] cre8ive65:
Well that's just it thought, I CAN'T upgrade. When i try to make a goldcard, I have to switch to MMC1 in the one click tool. The IMG flashing process to make it a goldcard takes 1 second, and if i try to re flash it immediately after it just gives me a message saying "An error occurred". If it takes 1 second to make it into a goldcard, that makes me think it didn't do it properly. Also If I run the RUU exe from HTCDEV it boots to fastboot, then the phone doesnt reboot to bootloader like it's supposed to, it just reboots to android.
[Desire HD General] captaintoenail:
after several days of searching, this is one of the more recent active threads relevant to me

2.3.5 with 3.0 sense, used HTCDev to unlock it with the unique code etc, I successfully have CWM and Superuser running permanently, and can run stock and customised RUU's. i tried initially to get to S-OFF but after many unsuccessful attempts, and discovering its unnecessary AND can be a bad idea, i left it.

Bootmenu says

*** UNLOCKED ***

eMMC-boot

Dec 22, 2011,14:28:19

and its stock 3.12.405.1 'rooted by nitr00' build

I follow the steps with unzipping/flashing after a full wipe through CWM, then going back into bootmenu to fastboot flash boot boot.img from its PC location. THIS WORKS to open up RUUs, and is DEFINITELY REQUIRED.

However, regardless of custom ROM (CyanogenMod 7.2 (preferred), jellybelly 4.1.1 or codefirex s19), the 'reboot' loads up the HTC logo splash screen and never leaves. ie, the dreaded BOOTLOOP

I read that it may be an MD5 issue, but what would i be checking the ROM's MD5 against?

additionally, whenever i get into Bootloader, it flashes in green text all the PD98 file errors (not located).

Where have I gone wrong? will a full reformat of the sdcard get rid of my hard work with superuser, CWM and the unique code?

Please help, DHD gods!
[Desire HD General] glevitan:
What boot.img are You flashing for the custom Roms?
[Desire HD General] captaintoenail:
thanks for the reply,

i unzip the custom rom's .zip, and there's always a unique boot.img file which i copy paste into the directory where i have fastboot and adb sitting (on the pc), then flash that. i make sure there's only one boot.img file in that directory when i do it
[Desire HD General] bananagranola:
Is your phone in fastboot, not hboot, when you do that?
[Desire HD General] captaintoenail:
Yes, my last few attempts have been following glevitan's most wonderful and clearly written ULTIMATE ACE GUIDE V10.pdf, which has the aforementioned md5 check as step 2 without further info (suggestion to elaborate perhaps?)

ie 'Flashing a Custom ROM with HTCDev'
[Desire HD General] glevitan:
There is not much to elaborate on MD5sum check. You need to check it to see if the download is corrupted or not. Use google on how to do it, but the easy way is:

Open a CMD in the PC and navigate to where the Custom Rom zip file is located

Type: md5sum <name_of_file>.zip

Then check that the sequence is similar to the one posted in the rom's thread.
[Desire HD General] captaintoenail:
much appreciated

done, it checks out identically.

for anyone following, cyanogenmod has the md5 tags listed with their downloads at their official site

with the 7.2 CM for HTC ace / desire hd = md5sum 1123cdc8c97395c319ef7a12d91e137e

I will mention on the off chance of relevance that the .zip file's MD5sum ^^ IS different to the boot.img ( 9f66b23c72e86296500db02caa909bd1 ), but i think that is to be expected, they're different files after all.

ideas?
[Desire HD General] captaintoenail:
to clarify, I still can't get the ROMs to work :(
[Desire HD General] glevitan:
Have you tried flashing a RUU? If that does not boot either then you might be experiencing hardware issues.
[Desire HD General] captaintoenail:
flashing RUU works just fine

Vol key issue

Hey Guys,

This might be a repeated ques so please bear with me but can someone please tell me how to root my DHD if the volume keys are not working.

To get into HBOOT we need the Power + Vol Down key, but my Vol key are not working :( . Is there any other way to get into HBOOT???
[Desire HD General] bananagranola:
Yes, using ADB. But it is not advisable. If you get stuck you will need your volume buttons to navigate HBOOT and, if you flash one, a non-touch recovery.
[Desire HD General] oomwoc:
Edit: Nevermind, I snooped around on the htcdev.com site to find it. For anyone else, it's on page three of the bootloader unlock instructions.

Hello,

The easy unlock tool says to paste the token at the bottom of the page. What page? It says "opening HTVDEV site", but nothing ever opens.
[Desire HD General] glevitan:
Do it manually....seems that your PC has its environment messed. Many users have used it and works fine.
[Desire HD General] oomwoc:
Yeah, it just wouldn't automatically open my browser (problem with Win 8, maybe). It worked fine after I figured out where to go. Thanks!
[Desire HD General] Spawn1981:
I did the bootloader unlock, but how do i know that succeded and how do i flash CWM? I tried to start the phone into bootloader (volume down + power) but the phone started as usual.

I used this tool: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2133336 do I still need the goldcard thing?

I must admit that flashing the samsung ace was much easier ^^ or I'm a complete noob.

HTC DHD annoing problem

Hello,

I have a HTC DHD since dec 2010. recently i started to have some problems with the car dock mode....... i tried everything -- compressed air, cleaning solutions, etc etc. If i root my phone and i change the software ill get this problems with the new soft? if not - i want to beg for a step by step guide ( how to root and etc , and a version of decent soft ( fully working ) )........ i ask your help cause i'm kind a newbie in mobile phone software development... Thank you and i wait some answers!!!
[Desire HD General] glevitan:
Rooting should not change anything at all. Flashing a custom rom might solve some performance issues as long as they are software related and not hardware.

Have you tried doing a factory reset? Your device might be experiencing some memory problems....try wiping it first.
[Desire HD General] axlxexx:
Yep - first i tried to make a software reset by taking the battery out 30 secs.. Then i made a factory reset from menu, then i made 1 from boot loader. I read several forums and i observed that many htc users have this problem but they solved it when they cleaned the uUSB module with compressed air or with the software reset or with some apps. I made everything to get rid of this problem. i cleand the usb module with air , with special solution for circuites, with a brush.... but same thing... i want to reflash my phone but i dont want to brick my htc. i dont know how to do that, i think i must downgrade it (firmware version...etc) before i cand do that. and i need an ics or a jb version fully functional. so if you can help me - i will be gratefull --- TY
[Desire HD General] glevitan:
If the stock firmware is not working, I wouldn't risk to root it and flash something different. I would first try to flash stock rom again and see what happens. If you are having hardware issues and you get stuck with an unlocked device HTC won't support it.
[Desire HD General] axlxexx:
well i can send you some screenshots with the firmware and other things.... can you help me?

Where can i find SU or SuperSU ?

Hi, :) How i m going to find SU or SuperSU ? Besides, does the root access is built in the cwm / 4ext that u had given on the top ? That SuperSU or SU can i download from web? or ? THX :) I have just a little experience to root Sony Xperia SL.. And this is my first time to root and unlock BL of HTC. Thx :)
[Desire HD General] glevitan:
I don't actually get your question. The SU is flashed in recovery and it depends on what you flash. The script flashes SU only. SU is never built in recovery but in system xbin folder. That is how you get administrator access.

[Desire HD General] ankitjain23:
This problem is seen when you haven't installed the correct RUU on the PC. Download the correct RUU from htc DEV for your locality (area). Install it on your PC, detect your PDA as per mentioned steps on RUU window and you will be all set.
[Desire HD General] glevitan:
That is not correct. He was running the unlock code. That means that his bootloader does not allow unlocking due to older version.

This is just as dangerous as the old.

No wonder, because the code is almost 100 percent the same as the old one.

To call this version as "v2.0", I think is presumptuous...

With this, attn1 can look forward to new support requests again! :D

[Desire HD General] glevitan:
I am not saying that the older was riskless. I was asking to remove the mirror and paste the link to the thread where instructions and details are stated. That is your work not mine and you should be thanked for it. I cannot reply for ATTN1 but belive me he is not interested at all.

[Desire HD General] glevitan:
You need to read the OP again. You will need a goldcard to flash the RUU that will allow you to update your hboot first. That RUU will not flash even with a goldcard so you need to find a different one.

That is out of the scope of this thread. Once you are done with unlocking and rooting you have to do your homework.

Hi,

I am very new here, until now I just red the forum and tried to figure everything out by myselve. I managed to unlock the bootloader and even to flash the ICS blackout to my HTC desire HD, but I think I have something wrong because my phone is acting sometimes very slow and I am not able to use it.

However I never tried to gain the S-off so if am not wrong the procedure of flashing a rom is a quite bit different?

Now I would like to put the taktik 4.4.2 R1 to my phone and I really need some help from you guys.

Do I have to make it S-off, and what about the kernel...I have never flashed it, I don´t know do I have to?

Could someone give some more informations about that?

I would appreciate it
[Desire HD General] cheeleongzz:
Just got a dhd from my bro and i decided to root it. thanks for the information!
[Desire HD General] profcb:
Guys I really need some help... I flashed the taktik 4.4.2 and flashed the gapps, but when I start my phone at the begining I get a pop-up Unfortunatel, these and that has stopped. A lot of things stopped.

What did I wrong?

When I was flashing I did system wipe,cache wipe and dalvik wipe,everything... and still getting this errors, I cannot use the phone,no way!

Maybe something with the gapps is wrong,is there any other link, I could try?
[Desire HD General] Teichopsia:
Its doubtful you'll get any help in this thread. Read the thread from that rom to see If anyone else is having that issue. Remember that rom is quite new and perhaps not ready for daily use.

Well If anyone else gets in same or similar troubles, I think I can help him. I asumed it has something to do with the gapps so I was searching for a gapps package that actually works with the taktik 4.4.2
