[Desire HD General] PuppyOfDestruction:
Hello all, I have a problem with my Desire HD and AAHK2, after using it my phone become non-functional. It just stays on HTC logo (white screen) forever and doesn't boot at all (need to take battery off to shutdown) but I'm able to go into HBOOT. What I did was following instructions on how to root step by step on an S-ON, BootLoader locked phone.

First I've restored phone to it's factory settings and here are it's photos:

I formatted my SD card to FAT32 with 4KB cache, rebooted phone with it, downloaded and installed everything needed, put PD98IMG.zip and PD98IMG-GB1-9.zip's into PD98IMG folder in aahk2, checked that everything is set as it should be on my Android (no fast boot, developer mode, always charge only on USB), turned antivirus off, plugged it into USB 2.0 and run aahk2.cmd as an admin and entered "1" in the menu. First time I had this problem:

So I've reinstalled the drivers and rebooted PC, then plugged the phone in another USB 2.0 and unplugged other devices. Then it worked like this:

Radio downgrade complete. Starting unlock process...

...and it froze on the "Radio downgrade complete. Starting unlock process...", staying like that for around a hour. Phone was stuck on HTC logo almost immediately after rebooting (I think there was a "new device detected and installing" thing going on in Windows 8.1 at that time but I didn't check what the named device was). After a long time I've decided that there is no way it will boot anymore so tried tu turn off the phone but couldn't, so I've removed the battery and rebooted. Now I can only go into HBOOT, normal boot just gets stuck on the logo.

This is how it looked when it got stuck:

This is what I had in background (AV obviously turned off):

This is what I see when I boot into HBOOT:

This is what I get when I chose "RECOVERY":

Installed drivers:

- HTC-Mobile-Driver-v4.17.0.001.exe

- UniversalAdbDriverSetup.msi

Downloaded PD98IMG: RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_WWE_3.12.405.1_Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_225512_rooted

I also have this code installed in my registry:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbflags\0BB40FF00100]
"SkipBOSDescriptorQuery"=hex:01,00,00,00

So... is there something I can do now? I hope someone will help me with this :(
