[Desire HD General] The_Nightingale:
Yeah figured that out, thanks.

Ah well i did anyway.

I don't understand what you mean by DHD's Upper lines. I'm guessing you are saying when in the bootloader look at the lines at the top to see if it's locked or not? (EDIT: just checked the Bootloader screen and it says UNLOCKED at the top. So that should mean it's unlocked yes?)

I did and i did well, and i got it to a working ROM of a modded CM11 4.4.3 S-OFF with GApps that came with the ROM installed. So,

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Now i am trying to get 5.0.2 on it and all the guides tell me to unlock the bootloader which i believe it is but maybe i have the wrong HBOOT drivers because when I try to do the step:

fastboot oem get_identifier_token

...in this instruction set, I get an error that research has led me to believe is because i have HBOOT 2.00.0027 and need to update to 2.00.0029. Can i do this without having to load stock ROMS and reset everything back to normal?

The error is:

<bootloader> [ERR] Command Error!!!

With the response times underneath.

That's it, no code, some say it is spelling of the cmd line but other the HBOOT mode.

I personally am happy with 4.4.2 but just want to do the update now so that i don't have to worry about restarting all again in a few months time when CM12 releases stable ROMS for 5.0.2.

So I have this inspire 4g and manage to install the cyanongen mod 12 rom, but i need the S-OFF for the sim unlock can I still S-OFF?

quick help

Okay I'll try and make this as short as possible . right about now I have a rooted HTC DHD with hbbot unlock , a cumtom recovery and a cumtom ROM running on my phone right about now and I really need ( security off or a.k.a s-off ) on my phone ! Now what I need help with is # 1 , the aahk2 program in option " h " , it unlocks your hboot , s-off and downgraded your phone to GB os right ! Now the problem i have with that is if its trying to unlock my hboot witch is already unlock isnt that just gonna brick my phone ? And # 2 let's just say I used the program and all went well and I install the custom to fix the WiFi and sound . if I install the custom ROM to fix the little bugs and what not , can I install a nother ROM of my choice after that or I'm just stuck with that ROM ? ?
[Desire HD General] marknoll:
I would run a ruu one closest to the downgrade needed.
[Desire HD General] NOOBHEADFORLIFE:
Thanks for that help bro but I think your talking about option " h " right ? ! Oh and 1 more question , right about now I'm running a custom and i have a backup of it , while using the aahk2 tool to setup my phone and something go's wrong ( witch I'm praing nothing will ) can I use my backup ROM to restore my phone to a working state or its just gonna be 100% brick ? ? ?
[Desire HD General] marknoll:
I think you can downgrade to a bootloader version where you can s off with this exploit.

Please run a fastboot getvar all,pleas noob. Need to see your specs

---------- Post added at 06:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:30 PM ----------

When u restore a back up, its pretty much standard (or sensible) that you use the same recovery you used after running this exploit. Never try a restore with cwm, if you had flashed twrp recovery. All that will do is cause probs. Once you flash a recovery it will stay on your device. It writes to a partition in your boot loader.

Sorry about that but I just saw your post asking me for my phone spec and what not ! Right about now my laptop is down so i can't run the fastboot command , but if you want I can boot into the bootloader and give you the info on there ? ! And thanks for letting me know that if I create a backup Ronm with twp I can't restore it using cwm ! The thing is , I' ve rooted a few android phone in my time but I ALWAYS use cwm recovery on my phone's and the HTC I have now , I got it pre rooted and Twp recovery already installed ! !

NEED HELP

Okay right about now I have a few problems with this aahk2 tool . # 1 after downloading it I try running it and came across a problem like the same one in post # 113 . so I tried the other aahk tool that came in the folder ( aahk2fastboot ) after it open up it had a few options to choose from so I went with option 1 " flash gingerbead at&t " . after choosing option 1 it ask me if I want to download the file automatically (y) and after that I got a message saying I have to downoad the PD98IMG-GB1.zip manually and put it in the subfolder PD98IMG and click to continued . I did all that and nothing happened ! So I cut and pass the PD98IMG zip to the main folder where the aahk tool was and yet still nothing happened so I tried uninstalling the HTC driver and reinstalling them and start all back over again and that didn't work so I formated my SanDick sd card to fat32 and copy the PD98IMG zip file to the SD card and rebooted the phone to the bootloader with the card in the phone , waited a few seconds and yet still nothing happened , all I saw on the screen at the time was a few writing in green that showed up and just came out ! ! I'll try and post the spec from my bootloader hopeing it might make a difference !
[Desire HD General] marknoll:
Um. Instead of drivers, download min adb and fastboot to your PC...or universal adb driver. U can also access adb and fastboot in platform tools in SDK

---------- Post added at 06:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:17 PM ----------

This will discuss SDK. In platform tools folder is where u can issue commands..open platform folder and inside tat folder, hold shift and right click. Pick open cmd here. This is how u can access adb and fastboot commands. Make sure your SDK is up to date. U will more than likely not need anything else to issue cmds. SDK is the ultimate tool

---------- Post added at 06:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:24 PM ----------

Either platform tools or platform. Can't remember. I'm away from my PC at the moment.
[Desire HD General] NOOBHEADFORLIFE:
So after I download and install SDK and set it up on my PC , put the aahk2 folder in SDK and start the aahk2 tool from there ? ?

---------- Post added at 04:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:54 PM ----------

I reformatted my SD card and re-put the PD98IMG.zip file on it and booted into the bootloader , a few seconds after , the bootloader found the pd98img.zip file and there was a loading status on the right side of the screen . about a minute or less after that , i got a error message saying " main version is older " and i needed to reboot my phone ! ! So I'm only guessing that message meant the hboot version I have right about now is older than the one I'm trying to load RIGHT ? ? ?

P.S here is my hbbot spec if anyone wanted to know

U must put your pd98 on the root of your SD card. Or this won't work. No amount of formatting your SD is gonna accomplish anything.

Stuck in Recovery while rooting

Hi,

I already downgraded with the aahk2 and ran it again until this point:
[Desire HD General] Phiber2000:
You're using a USB3 port or incompatible USB chipset. Just try other ports or another PC while your phone is in this state and keep watching the device manager if it's recognised.

Phiber
[Desire HD General] hacktrix2006:
There is an easier way.

It will work with any USB port type as well.

Simply make a system restore point first then make a new text document and then paste into it the info i have included in the CodeBox and save it as a .reg extention. Then double click and merge this with your windows registery.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

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

Then restart the PC it should then in fastboot mode detect correctly if you have the HTC Drivers installed. If you just want to .reg file just PM me.

Just make sure you have restore point before trying this method as if it doesn't work you can then role back to your system restore point and return everything back to normal.

If you want the .reg file just PM me for it.
[Desire HD General] Phiber2000:
Under windows 8 I'm totally with you. But under windows 7...

It would be great if RUU mode works with this chipset too! I'm curious!

Phiber
[Desire HD General] hacktrix2006:
[MENTION=2598556]Phiber2000[/MENTION] it should work with any Windows Vista 7 and 8.1 x64bit OS running under Intel/NEC USB or Asmedia USB Hosts. It simply disables a Query that screws up fastboot.

This is always why i said to do a system restore point before hand to be on the save side. I have had the same issue with Windows 7 Professional x64 and Windows 8.x Professional X64 and that registry fix, fixed the issue for me.
[Desire HD General] Phiber2000:
BOS descriptor issue

It's interesting that it could make a difference on Windows versions <= v8.0 because BOS description verification was first introduced with Windows 8.1 (for USB3 devices with Windows 8.0) as you can see here: Microsoft Windows USB Core Team Blog

Because it's a OS feature I didn't think USB chipset drivers could retrofit that or even the registry entry could have any effect then.

But: If it worked for you, I'll keep that in mind when I come across with this issue next time!!

Thank's a lot for this proposal!

[Desire HD General] masterquest91:
I've looked around for an answer, but I can't find one.

I made a Goldcard a long time ago and want to revert it back to a normal microsd card. Would I be able to do this just by reversing the first few bits again? Could I just do some sort of format to restore it back to normal?
[Desire HD General] marknoll:
Um..just buy a new one..the goldcard was for rooting . it isn't altered in any way.
[Desire HD General] Phiber2000:
Just format it by using a card reader.

That overwrites the leading bytes which made the sd card a goldcard. Nothing more to do!

P.s...

Your bootloader needs to be relocked
[Desire HD General] sameer.verma:
I have already Re-Locked the bootloader and it shows RE-LOCKED.

Also adding more info.

Android version : 2.3.5

HTC Sense version: 3.0

Software number: 3.13.720.2

Just to check if version has to do something with the AAHK hack ?
[Desire HD General] Phiber2000:
Okay - the temproot fails: "cannot create /data/local.prop: permission denied"

In consequence, the goldcard creation fails, too - and that's the cause for "CID incorrect".

The easiest method solving that is to reflash a complete HTC stock ROM. To do that, we need the right one - if available.

Please post the output of "fastboot getvar all" without the serial and imei lines, so I can tell you which one you should use.

Phiber
[Desire HD General] marknoll:
I told him to run a ruu..the 2.47 version is the one to be able to flash to gain root and unlock bootloader. Can't get any easier than that. ?
[Desire HD General] Phiber2000:
Because he's running 3.13.720.2, he isn't able to do that without (htc-dev) unlocked bootloader. And with an htc-dev unlocked bootloader you're still not able to downgrade radio - but you need to.

Downgrading rom to lower mainver is blocked by htc. It's only allowed to flash the same or higher version.

Phiber
[Desire HD General] marknoll:
That's funny. I was able to. I was on 3.20 and I downgraded just fine. Unless he is s on..I'm s off
[Desire HD General] Phiber2000:
You must have been s-off or lowered the main version with the old aahk or manually (temproot required).

Otherwise you get this: "main version is older! update fail!"

Phiber
[Desire HD General] marknoll:
No... I didn't by using aahk! I AM s off..I updated my bootloader from the original to 3.20. Just the other day I downgraded to 2.47...how's that possible then?

---------- Post added at 10:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 PM ----------

Can you please help me with the steps to downgrade and root the phone. I have been stuck since a week figuring out how to downgrade. Plzzz help..
[Desire HD General] Phiber2000:
Okay - there's no compatible stock RUU available for your CID - that would have been a bit faster.

But there's another way to do the required downgrade:

Unlock your device via HTCdev again.

Let the device boot and enable USB-Debugging.

Place the "PD98IMG-GB2.zip" in the "PD98IMG" folder of the AAHK2.

Start AAHK2 and choose option 'h' in main menu.

That will do the downgrade (ROM and Recovery only) and relock of the device. A factory reset won't harm here.

Now the device is prepared for the normal unlock procedure. Restart AAHK2 and proceed as normal, following the OP steps.

Phiber
[Desire HD General] sameer.verma:
Phiber,

I will try this one but few questions.

1. Once I run the option 'h' will it again relock my bootloader ?

2. Can I use Easy Ace tool which I used before to unlock the bootloader before running option 'h'.

Thanks,
[Desire HD General] Phiber2000:

Again Thanks a ton.
[Desire HD General] Phiber2000:
My pleasure! - But I can't give you ROM recommendations - just test some!

Just one hint: If you want to flash a Android 4+ ROM, you have to upgrade recovery to 2.8.6.1 and Radio to 12.69a.60.29_26_17_14_11_M. Both can be easily done via fastboot, since you've S-Off now.

Custom-ROMs have to be flashed via recovery. You don't need the AAHK2 script or PD98... zips anymore.

Phiber
[Desire HD General] sameer.verma:
Phiber,

I got hot to upgrade the CWM recovery to 2.8.6.1. But how to do the Radio to 12.69a.60.29_26_17_14_11_M thing is still a question. Can you please give me some more info on this one.

Be careful and click the "Download Now" button when downloading from Dev-Host - not the yellow "Download" button. (MD5 is fefbcf7a411df7df31fea65417d92f36)

Proceed as described there and remove the file from sd card after flashing.

Just a concern currently after doing downgrade my audio is not working. Is it desired behavior or did something went wrong while doing downgrade using aahk2. I checked just when some one called me. Also regarding Radio upgrade can I use the first method as it looks more easy to me.
