[Desire HD General] Nigel1904:
Missing something on the rooting of my HTD DHD with AAHK2

Dear Phiber,

I am a noob to the HTC DHD, I did however inherit an HTC HD that was rooted and managed to flash a couple of custom roms on it before I stored it away. I am not sure what I am getting wrong, I followed the AAHK2 procedures to the letter but I haven't had any success with unlocking and rooting my device. My HTC comes with Android 2.3.5 and Sense 3, the script result I am getting from CMD is as follows.

From running AAHK2:

Ace Advanced Hack Kit 2
