Tractoritaliano, when you started the script for by second time, did you get use the HTC again or unworked?

I will still try use the script and i'll give to you the informations about.

Tks a lot for while.
[Desire HD General] tractoritaliano:
Yeah first I unlock bootloader via HTCdev but, as i read in this thread, before to run the script I relock the bootloader.....now I have win 7 installed on my pc....how can I do to emulate another windows version?
[Desire HD General] Phiber2000:
You don't have to emulate anything - how did you get such an idea??

If your system isn't stable, you shouln't use this to flash anything to your mobile phone!

You have two options: Use another PC which works without BSODs or fix your own.

If you don't have that options - getting S-OFF is no option for you.

Phiber
[Desire HD General] tractoritaliano:
Before to run the script, I read into this thread that is necessary to relock the bootloader therefore if you have already unlock the bootloader via HTCdev, you must relock the bootloader....if you want to run the script you don't need to use HTCdev because, as I read in this thread, it's necessary to run the script for the first time to downgrade the bootloader.....when the downgrade is complete you can run for the second time the script to unlock the bootloader and for obtain the S-off.......the problem for me is that when I run for the second time the script for obtain the bootloader unlock and the s-off, win 7 crash into a blue window with a lots of hexadecimal code
[Desire HD General] Phiber2000:
That's not quite correct. The script has an extra option to prepare HTCdev unlocked devices in main menu.

Just read my post above. Unfortunately I do not have a better suggestion for you.

Phiber
[Desire HD General] tractoritaliano:
Understand..:) therefore I'll try to run the script with another pc otherwise I only unlock the bootloader via HTCdev considering that for me it's not necessary to flash a custom rom and overclock the phone.....:)
[Desire HD General] marknoll:
Yea. That's why I asked if you locked it.

Super Phiber2000 and attn1

You guys brought a new lease of life to not one, but many Desire HD's around me (a lot of my friends and I got the device together, and I "liberated" all of them using your tools).

Using attn1's AAHK soft-bricked my device (totally my fault, I hadn't put the PD98IMG zips in correct location :rolleyes:).

But I created a goldcard and found an RUU to recover the device and gain S-OFF and SuperCID, and next time onwards used AAHK2 because of the error-scenario's handling - and md5sum of EVERY single file (even ".txt"s) is a marvellous idea! No one can screw-up the process if they are using AAHK2 (well, I'm sure someone can, but then they have to be REALLY careless!)

many thanks again to both attn1 and phiber2000! :good::good::good:

Stuck on White HTC screen

Hi, I have tried numerous combinations of PD98IMG on my card(s)

none of the installs are working. (Cards are sandisk 8gb and 16gb 4k formatted Fat32)

I used the aahk2_fastboot.cmd and also straight renaming on the sd card.

I get parsing....

or I got a 42 custom id check error and a 43 main version check error

I've tried GB2 and GB4 (I am in UK)

but each time the phone just hangs on the white HTC screen.

I used to have GB2.3.5 but now the phone won't boot

and it won't take a PD98IMG

I've rooted my old HD2 and countless Galaxy S2's, but never a DHD.

Bootloader is unlocked. Hboot is 2.0029

I did use EasyAceRoot tool before finding this one which installed CWM recovery.

but I can't install any zips from there either.

I have fastboot, adb, sdk, but am not that familiar with them. I tried to check my emmc but I'm not sure how to read the info...

Any ideas how to get the PD98IMG's to load???

Is there a way to push the .img's with adb individually?

Would I need to get rid of CWM recovery first?

Can I just format the whole phone from the bootloader/fastboot?

or am I screwed!!! (well for the this phone at least!)

[Desire HD General] Phiber2000:
Boot your Android and use Option 'h' in main menu.
[Desire HD General] snailer:
It doesn't boot - just white HTC screen.
[Desire HD General] marknoll:
I think first you need to supercid it. 11111111
[Desire HD General] Phiber2000:
How should he do that without a working system!? :crying:

Extract PD98IMG-GB2 (ignore extraction errors) and flash system & recovery with fastboot commands manually. Then the device will boot now.

After that execute with option 'h' to prepare the device and proceed as normal.

Phiber
[Desire HD General] marknoll:
Maybe he will have to ruu.. I had to do that when I ran into troubles.
[Desire HD General] Phiber2000:
RUUs aren't working with unlocked bootloader. When the version counter is higher than the RUUs, it won't work also.

Flashing manually via fastboot is the only reliable way.
[Desire HD General] snailer:
PERFECT!!

Flashed the individual files as you said, and ran it through your Script. first with 'h' then '1'

I never thought I'd be so pleased to hear the silly htc boot jingle.... You are Quietly Brilliant!

However............... I can't get ANY other rom to boot- they all get stuck on boot screen - I tried pacman, cm7, slim...

I wiped cache, dalvik, format system each time.

Any ideas?

There were some errors when I put it through your script - could that have something to do with it? (screenshots attached)

Thanks for your help.

[Desire HD General] Phiber2000:
These "errors" are as expected (the interesting part would have been below the text in screenshot #2) - everything's okay, as long as you see "S-OFF" in Hboot now.

Regarding to your boot issues with other ROMs:

Get sure that you flashed correctly!

Boot into recovery (TWRP is flashed by the script automatically)

Choose "wipe"

Select "Factory Reset" and after success "System"

Then flash your ROM via "Install" (dont' change any checkboxes!)

Watch out for any errors while ROM flashing process

Repeat the "Install" procedure (of course without wiping again) for the Gapps

Choose Reboot->System and be patient while the

first

system start (usually max. 5 minutes)

That's all!

If you want to get the original (but rooted) ROM back, flash my modified rooted ROM as described in original post.

You don't ever need to execute the AAHK2 again.

No Vol+ button

Hi,

when performing the needed downgrade something went wrong and I've got a red triangle on the screen and

"rm failed for /data/local/tmp/*, No such file or directory" in the command window.

I am asked to start stock recovery by puching VOL+ and the power button, but my Vol+ button is not working.

Can you please halp me what should I do?

Thanks
[Desire HD General] Phiber2000:
paweladam:

Just reboot by removing battery. Nothing's done to your device yet. You need fully working volume keys to use the script - so let it be.
[Desire HD General] paweladam:
Thanks Phiber! I imagine it would be a hardware reparation, isn't it?
[Desire HD General] Phiber2000:
Yes, it is. Have a look on YouTube for the repair. (Disassembly Desire HD)

You need a new upper flex board.
[Desire HD General] snailer:
Cool - I have S-off and bootloader unlocked again - finally got the custom ROM to install - it took me a few days to find a decent sd card and now it installed and runs properly.

I am gutted it didn't fix my wifi problem.

On the original GB I was getting Wifi error when turning it on. and even now in JB it won't turn on.

Is there a common hardware fix with these phones like on the One X (I had to bend the contacts to the antenna in the top corner)?

Also does anyone know what kind of glue I need to stick the screen down with - it is coming away at the bottom.

Could this be related to the wifi issue???

None of the youtube videos mention the wifi at all.

Thanks
[Desire HD General] marknoll:
Download WiFi fix on the market
[Desire HD General] Phiber2000:
[MENTION=3488919]snailer[/MENTION]:

You have to flash and boot the modified rooted ROM before flashing a custom one (see OP).

[MENTION=5861426]marknoll[/MENTION]:

The wifi fix doesn't fix. :D
[Desire HD General] snailer:
I thought I'd done that, but it did update everything.

Unfortunately it hasn't solved the wifi problem.

View attachment 2859457

Also the bluetooth doesn't turn on.

After watching the videos I realised the clown who replaced the screen must have put the black and white cables back wrong on the mainboard.

I've swapped them back over but still neither wifi nor bluetooth work (haven't tried GPS)

Any other ideas....?

Thanks - you've been so helpful.
[Desire HD General] marknoll:
It could possibly be an internal problem. Do you know how to log cat?
[Desire HD General] snailer:
I think you're right. I've dismantled the phone, but apart from the white and black wires for the Bluetooth and GPS there's not much to see.

I presume the wifi antenna is in the lower back SD/sim cover. What are the connectors to the battery cover for?

I'll figure it out logcat & upload one.

Just got to reassemble my phone....

getting courage

Please,

in this weekend, i`ll run the script and have some questions...

My HTC Sync doesnt work... It`ll prejudice my procedure?

I need to back to format factory?

Should I install Htc Driver V4.01.001 in a computer or in a HTC Desire?

tks a lot
[Desire HD General] aguia99:
Forget about the HTC Sync... i just thought about!

. . .

I will need to back to the factory data reset (settings>storage) to begin the script?

In the procedures, after download the Htc Driver V4.01.001, this file run in a HTC (from memory card) or put it in a computer to run?

For me, follow the steps: (is it correct?)

1. stop anti virus of computer

2. loading battery; use usb 2.0

3. format SD card

4. settings : usb debbunging ; stay awake ; charge only

5. run htc driver v 4.01.001 (first line of tutorial for download)

6. extract aahk2 (2nd line of tutorial for download)

7. if needs downgrade, run aahk2 again

8. run unzip 3.12.405.1 (3rd line of tutorial for download)
[Desire HD General] marknoll:
Yes. All of that pertains to the PC. If you want, look at the original aahk. It will give u a better run down of this aahk2 kit
[Desire HD General] aguia99:
Sorry for this question

For format the sd card, my options are 16 bytes, 32 bytes, 64 bytes and 8192 bytes in a FAT32. There isnt 4kb.
[Desire HD General] marknoll:
Format your SD card via recovery
[Desire HD General] Phiber2000:
Simply choose the smallest one. That should work, too.
[Desire HD General] aguia99:
I downloaded many softwares to try format to 4kb and i did not get.

I will try the smallest one using format by windows.
[Desire HD General] aguia99:
sorry, "via recovery"? where can i find it?

I tryed to default to format. My SD Card has 32GB and i think that its not possible format to 4kb.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/140365
[Desire HD General] aguia99:
After that i formatted my sd card (default), i put settings debbunging in my HTC and tryed to run "HTC_Treiber_v4.0.1.001" from my computer, but i didnt see nothing happen. That is correct?
[Desire HD General] Phiber2000:
Ouch - which custom recovery!? He wants to unlock his device so he doesn't have one and doesn't need one, too!

Please think first before you give any useless advice. :cowboy:

Phiber
[Desire HD General] Phiber2000:
This is a very vague excuse... Please stay with the matter.

Maybe in future you should talk about that in your IM-Session - not in public threads, where "no one has an idea what you're talking about".
[Desire HD General] aguia99:
sorry for message between you... You are very smart and friendly.

I would like to "Root mode" my htc and my HTC already is unlocked.

Follow my settings...

Android Version 2.3.5

htc sense service 3.0

soft number 3.13.161.5

Ace Pvt ship S-On RL

Hboot...

Please, if i need to recovery memory of my sd card to format to 4kb, where can i find this tutorial or menu? Which gadget will i use to do it?

Tks a lot for both guys
[Desire HD General] Phiber2000:
If you just want seem to root your DHD without S-Off you're actually wrong here.

You don't have to format your sd-card then, too.

Because you already have an unlocked bootloader, you just have to flash a custom recovery:

You can get this here: CWM 5.8.0.0 Touch Recovery for DesireHD

Follow the steps in "FLASHING VIA FAST BOOT".

Now you can flash the SU-bins:

Download SuperSU from here and put it on you sd-card

boot into the custom recovery (via HBoot -> Recovery)

choose "install"

choose "UPDATE-SuperSU-vxxxx.zip" and start flashing

Reboot

That's all!

Phiber
[Desire HD General] aguia99:
ok... i will try, but i dont have experience and it will be my first time

If i understanding, following the steps (is correct?):

1.1 Download the file CWM 5.8.0.0 Touch Recovery for DesireHD

1.2 Put this file in my computer

1.3 Settings Debbunging, Stay awake, Charge only

1.4 Turn off anti virus (avast)

1.4 turn off my htc

1.5 turn on my htc, press both power and volume down

1.6 Follow the steps in "FLASHING VIA FAST BOOT". ----> ("flashing via fast boot" is settings>power> check box: fast boot ?)

2.1 Download SuperSU from here

2.2 put it on you sd-card

2.3 turn on my htc, press both power and volume down = boot into the custom recovery (via HBoot -> Recovery)?

2.4 choose "install"

2.5 choose "UPDATE-SuperSU-vxxxx.zip" and start flashing

2.6 Reboot
[Desire HD General] Phiber2000:
Almost perfect - but flashing via fastboot is using the command line "fastboot" executable like you did while unlocking your bootloader.
[Desire HD General] aguia99:
Tonight, i resolved to do the Root, but in that link there are a lot of lines to read... I will study that...!

It`s so dificult to me and read that tutorial is not easy!

I guess there are more details for this follow step, is not:
[Desire HD General] marknoll:
Did you successfully s off?
[Desire HD General] aguia99:
Marknoll,

no... but it is unlocked. I payed to do it a long time!

My HTC HD is

Android Version 2.3.5

htc sense service 3.0

soft number 3.13.161.5

Ace Pvt ship S-On RL

Hboot...
[Desire HD General] marknoll:
I guess you are going to have to flash Roms via fastboot then
[Desire HD General] aguia99:
tks a lot

Phyber, i would like to thank you a lot for aid me in root process. My device is better than one and now it uses more 32 gb memory. I think that the battery is during for more long time.

Im so grateful for you to waste part of your sunday time.

Tks a lot

:good: :laugh: :good: :laugh:
[Desire HD General] Phiber2000:
My pleasure! ;)
[Desire HD General] roadtodebian:
I want to unlock my device, so i follow this guide. But, i stuck in this step. What i supposed to do now? Thanks for your help..
[Desire HD General] Phiber2000:
The problem is, that the HBoot can't read from you sdcard. Often it is caused by a wrong file system (FAT instead of FAT32) - or the card isn't compatible.

Mount it in Android as disk drive and use Windows to format it with FAT32 and 4096 bytes sector size (choose 8192 if 4KB is not available).

Then just repeat and you'll get the update message.

Phiber

Guys - I've had to delete some posts from various members due to drifting way off topic. And not in a pleasant way, sometimes.

So - keep the thread going, relevant and on topic. Only provide answers if you actually have the answer. Speculation and guesses are not helpful at all. To anyone.

It would be a shame to close the thread permanently.

Thanks

Followed the steps and didn't run in to any issues.

However, my when I make or receive a call I can't hear any sound whatsoever and other person can't hear me either?

Just follow "How do I install after successfully rooting the latest ROM from HTC? (This also fixes problems with GPS on custom ROMs!)" from OP.

Phiber
[Desire HD General] niksus1:
I'd like to report GPS not finding any satellites at all with 26.14.04.28 radio. Version 26.17.14.11 fixed it.

This was the only problem I had, with this otherwise excellent tool.
[Desire HD General] Phiber2000:
[MENTION=3896963]niksus1[/MENTION]: With which ROM did you have this problem?

Stock ROM shouldn't have compatibility problems.

But f. e. KitKat needs a newer than the "normal".

Phiber
[Desire HD General] niksus1:
I wasn't aware of that.

You're right. I'm using a KitKat ROM - Mustaavalkosta's Unofficial CyanogenMod 11 (cm-11-20140609-UNOFFICIAL-BR4-ace). Should've mentioned it earlier.
[Desire HD General] Phiber2000:
[MENTION=3896963]niksus1[/MENTION]: Thanks for answer!

Maybe the thread owner could ad this info. But I think this should be part of the ROM installation requirements info, next to the minimal recovery version, too.

By the way: 26.17.14.11 was the right choice!

Bought a DHD today and used this tut and within the hour was s-off, cheers for making it soo easy. :good:

[Desire HD General] Rugile:
I got some weird problem - I have to downgrade, and it asks me to download PD98IMG-GB2.zip. I download it, put it in the folder, don't rename, but it gives me an error "File PD98IMG/PD98IMG-GB2.zip is corrupted". I downloaded it 3 times, and everytime the same error... Is it possible to repair this?
[Desire HD General] Phiber2000:
That's not a bug. The file is really currupted!

Try using another mirror and tell me the one you have this issue with. Maybe file size and checksum too. I'll check this.

Phiber
[Desire HD General] Rugile:
Thank you for the quick reply!

So the corrupted file is this one (link from the first post of the thread):

https://mega.co.nz/#!yJRXQLgL!d4BVlFzhmv4voHsf5DuyJBgimegLsJiBCcOcBq4Af1I

Now this one seems to be working (after downloading it should be renamed to PD98IMG-GB2.zip):

http://www.4shared.com/get/qTkqoGYU/PD98IMG.html

EDIT: yes, it worked perfectly with the second one :) great work, very useful tool, thanks!
[Desire HD General] Phiber2000:
Thanks for this report!

I'll post here when the download source is fixed tomorrow.

I checked the PS98IMG-GB2.zip at mega successfully. There were no discrepancies - so there must have been an error while downloading.

The checksum (a67daa6baa7ef085307593fef6329d14) will be checked by the script, too.

Filesize: 247 MB (259.503.624 Bytes)

Phiber
[Desire HD General] Nihim:
I am guessing following this method will erase the phones data? contacts / apps / app data?

If yes is there any method that won't erase them or to root it you have to wipe it?
[Desire HD General] Phiber2000:
You're guessing right because of the necessary downgrade in 99% of all cases.

There is definitely no permanent root or unlock procedure for the DHD stock ROMs which don't perform a factory reset.

Phiber
[Desire HD General] Nihim:
Great, was hoping i could backup contacts and appdata somehow, i am guessing i will have to bite the bullet and follow the guide, seeing as my desires rom is filled with garbage data, i have removed pretty much every app / cache i could and still i get insufficient space.

Thx for the reply.

EDIT:

if there is a temporary root method that's good too. I can backup with titanium what i want and then do a proper flash.
[Desire HD General] Phiber2000:
I've never seen something like that. That's not normal and looks like something's bad in your NAND.

Stop trying it again. For further instructions, answer this questions first:

Has the script done a downgrade before?

If yes - which ROM (PD98IMG-GB?.zip) was used?

Phiber
[Desire HD General] blackrebel:
I made this 3 times and 3 different PC. And yes i made downgrade I used the PD98IMG-GB2.zip.
[Desire HD General] Phiber2000:
Copy the file "PD98IMG-GB2.zip" to your sd card and rename it to "PD98IMG.zip". Then go into the HBoot.

It will ask you to "update". Confirm that by pressing "Vol-Up" and wait until it's finished.

When that's done - reboot and try unlocking it again.

Phiber
[Desire HD General] blackrebel:
I did it before . Nothing s happenned , same screen as the picture.
[Desire HD General] Phiber2000:
I'm pretty sure, that your device has a defect.

While rebooting the recovery, the binaries copied by the script to your NAND get lost, and so the procedure fails.

My recommendation:

Flash the latest official stock ROM "RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_WWE_3.12.405.1_Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_225512_signed.exe" you can get from here and unlock it via HTCdev. You have to live with the S-ON limitations...

Phiber
[Desire HD General] blackrebel:

Thank you Phiber : )

[Desire HD General] Nihim:
Anyone has written down the steps he followed to root / flash his desire?

I read multiple times the first 2 posts but seeing as I never done this before I am still not sure if I got all the steps right and want to avoid briking my phone.

Cheers
[Desire HD General] Phiber2000:
That's all what you have to do first. Second - most important - exactly follow the intructions the script will give you.

So it's allready written down there. :)

Phiber
[Desire HD General] Nihim:
Some questions then if you can bear with me.

If you have never fiddled with the phone then those are fine right?

First part of the FAQ is to see what the HBoot-Status is?

cheers

As for the drivers, long ago I had HTC sense thing on the pc, I should still install the drivers to make sure I got the right version.

I can pick any of the PD98IMG-GB*.zip files from the PD98IMG DOWNLOAD LINKS list?
[Desire HD General] Phiber2000:
Yes.

Yes

If the old drivers do their job, keep them. If they don't, you'll be told that your DHD isn't connected.

You'll be told, which one you'll need.

By the way:

The sentence "Play the current, modified by Phiber2000 HTC image to prevent later problems with GPS and WiFi (see FAQ)." is wrong a bit... It should be "Flash the current, modified by Phiber2000 HTC image to prevent later problems with GPS and WiFi (see FAQ).". :)

Question

Does this method is still working, available and worth using? I've spen 12h on working with stuff which is no longer active etc. and now when I'm doing everything like in the example it doesn't work for me. On hboot I can see a loading line which comes to the end and disappear, after that nothing more happens, there isn't any prompt like in the step 1. thanks in advance for your answer.

that's what I got:
[Desire HD General] Phiber2000:
Be a bit more precise, what's the problem.
