I checked with root explorer and it is there. But i have some questions. So i just type this command in Terminal and i whil be able to flash Clockwork recovery thru ROM Manager? Or what? And is there any uppside to using this instead of S-OFF?

Is this a safer way, because i have read lots of threads about S-OFF and it seams to be risky bussineis.

And i dont really need S-OFF for anything. But i have always used custom roms so im trying to find a safe way.

One moore thing when i was on the Samsung Galaxy S we could use 2e recovery

because it would allow flashing unsigned zips, is that an option?
[Desire HD Android Development] madindehead:
Out of interest, any news on when this will be getting released?

I hope Evostance does another excellent tutorial like he did for the Permaroot!
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:
There has been no date set for it as far as I'm aware. I'm pretty confident you will hear about it though.

At the moment there is a "test" version of Clockwork about on the forums. To the best of my knowledge, this is not a full release will all features and has been developed by a 3rd Party, and not by Koush.

Once an official/approved Clockwork Mod has been released then I will create a tutorial for it. I don't want to be writing a tutorial for something that could potentially be dangerous.

My last tutorial included a section on how to flash hboot which is extremely dangerous, then VISIONary came along and made rooting automatic, however does not flash hboot.

This means that everyone who didn't follow my guide won't have their hboot flashed - hence the reason I want to wait for an official Clockwork mod
[Desire HD Android Development] sfjuocekr:
fastboot flash recovery <locationofimagefile>

So much for the tutorial flashing a custom recovery, altho you need the S-OFF HBOOT.

:p
[Desire HD Android Development] madindehead:
No problem Evo. Yeah, I totally understand, a guide on a test version would not be needed.

I look forward to your tutorial on the official Clockwork Mod. The tutorial you made for perma-root, and HBOOT was amazing :p I flashed my HBOOT using your tutorial, no problems, it was perfect :)

So yeah, I look forward to Clockwork Mod, and another excellent tutorial :)
[Desire HD Android Development] madindehead:
Any more news on a guide coming Evo?
[Desire HD Android Development] ghostofcain:
any more news on an official clockwork release?
[Desire HD Android Development] mike1986.:
I don't think we'll see official version soon. It's been many days since clockwork mod was release for Desire Z/G2 so probably we were forgotten.
[Desire HD Android Development] forelli:
I tweeted Koush today asking for an ETA but I haven't received any answer until now.

". @koush hi, any ETA for the Desire HD Clockwork Mod Recovery please?

iv been trying to keep track of this and understand how to unlock/rom my DHD (running hboot 0.85)

i should do the following

* d/l visionary and send it to my phone (which folder/location?), install it (via the phone or pc?) done

* use this to temp root / perm root my phone done

* s-off my phone/hboot?

* follow the guide to use the custom rom paul has provided for these phones as above?

done.

now what ?

i can just go about loading a custom rom on there?
[Desire HD Android Development] bhuwan1990:
am i thick or not doing it right?

when i hold and press volume down button + power button. I cant seem to get to bootloader.

hmmm
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Do not hold power, and disable fastboot in settings/applications.
[Desire HD Android Development] KiLL3Rzor:
To access the boot loader you don't need to have USB connected or take out the battery.

Restart the phone, before it finishes shutting down hold down Volume Down, it'll vibrate for a while as it shuts down then the bootloader will come up.
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:
No but you need to have it plugged in otherwise the drivers won't get installed on your pc
[Desire HD Android Development] xmoo:
Yes I did. I posted the 1.04 Vodafone system dump. No full ruu. We need the full ruu.
[Desire HD Android Development] :
Or instead of rebooting, simply disable fastboot in settings - applications. No usb cable required. Then shutdown, press volume down key and power for 5 or 6 seconds. Voila bootloader.
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:
Either way were still stuck with no s off
[Desire HD Android Development] sfjuocekr:
S-OFF not the main problem tho, if you get the current recovery to run adbd with root permissions you can from there do alot more.
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:
I've been trying to get this to work but not had much luck since it's blocked by the nand

I have got the update.zip bit up though

Now...

Anyone feel foolish enough to try and flash clockwork from the desire using this method? That way we will know if we can run something.

It might brick your device so I'm not responsible if it does.
[Desire HD Android Development] xmoo:
Clockwork should now do the trick?? Or do we need root for that??

Someone should be brave enough to try desire clockwork. Just to see if it loads (without using any option)

http://www.clockworkmod.com/
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:
No takers?
[Desire HD Android Development] darrenjdoc:
The warranty will be void if anything happens wont it or could you try and return it faulty in shop and get a new handset ?

I might try it as i am fed up with how bad the battery is ...
[Desire HD Android Development] xmoo:
Well if you brick it.

Reboot in bootloader, put in recovery, wait till you see the triangle.

Run RUU on your computer and flash stock rom back again.

Clockwork is like a live cd, your not flashing anything.
[Desire HD Android Development] darrenjdoc:
Ok. Just downloading a stock rom and then i will try it :)
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:
Your a brave guy. But don't blame us if it doesn't work, bricks your phone, or if you can't get a replacement/refund.

PS. How is your battery "bad." Mine lasts out the day fine
[Desire HD Android Development] darrenjdoc:
Just about lasts the day but if i wasnt charging it up while i was in my work van there would be no chance it could stick it out. I use it alot for calls and emails. Also alot for gps between jobs but its always charging at that stage.

I can just take it into a CPW store and play dumb .. :)

Jeez that download is slow. 30 mins and trying from 3 different hosting sites.
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:
Is that for Clockwork or stock rom
[Desire HD Android Development] darrenjdoc:
The stock rom
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:
Ok cool. Let us know when its done.

Have you got a camera or something you could take some snaps to show us what happens?

I don't think you'd have to re-flash your phone but you never know
[Desire HD Android Development] Bunk:
Exciting! :)
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:
Whats the verdict?
[Desire HD Android Development] darrenjdoc:
When i try to run the ruu it cant connect to the phone saying usb connection error and the warning triangle is staying red ?
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:
Have you put it into recovery mode? You need to install HTC Sync on your PC first

http://www.htc.com/www/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=982&news_id=776

Did you try Clockwork Mod? If so did it start?

http://koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-bravo.zip

If it did then this is very important. This is the whole point of the test!
[Desire HD Android Development] xmoo:
First try clockwork, then try the ruu.

Before doing anything install htc sync 3.
[Desire HD Android Development] adwinp:
I'd like to interject.

The Desire clockwork won't work (or shouldn't, in theory).

What you need, is this:

dump the desire recovery

dump the dhd rec.

replace the kernel from dhd rec in desire rec tree, rebuild, THEN use it.
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:
Funnily enough, I was just looking at how to dump the DHD recovery.

Any ideas?
[Desire HD Android Development] Doktaphex:
So I just did a full dump of my entire /system if this will help at all, if not then it was fun learning how to do that anyway. :D

edit: I guess probably won't as you guys would already have done that and I don't see anything related to recovery in the dump. Oh well, it was fun learning some new commands.
[Desire HD Android Development] adwinp:
I will prepare a recovery in a few (gotta get the base address right).
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:
Thats great :)

How to modify Clockwork Mod to run on different devices. Was from the CWM guys.

I would give it a go but my time is rather limited at the moment
[Desire HD Android Development] RD1945:
RUU method is not working for me. I get Error 170 USB connection error. I have tried to put phone into recovery and tried to flash when phone is running android.

Also the update.zip method is not working. Getting something about invalid command.
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:
Ok, we've confirmed CWM for Desire isn't working so it looks like a rebuild is needed.

As for the RUU, I wouldn't worry about that. Its only if you can't get into your phone after trying Clockwork Mod ;)

If you can't get into your phone, install HTC Sync 3 to your PC
[Desire HD Android Development] xmoo:
The command is giving cause of no root access cause clockwork has no signature.

So atleast we know we can use update.zip access.

I tried flashing the 1.15 Test rom. To see what bootloader it comes with.

But I got signature error. So Need to make a goldcard and flash the 1.15

I'm out of home today, so can't try.

Is anyone else willing to make a goldcard and try it??

ROM http://rapidshare.com/files/4196231...dio_12.21.60.12_26.02.00.09_M_test_148662.exe
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:
Anybody willing to try and make a Goldcard?

I wont be able to till later this weekend :(

http://android.modaco.com/content/general-discussion/305672/creating-a-goldcard/
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
I am willing to do pretty much any testing with my phone when it arrives from Handtec second batch, but until then, nice progress with the update.zip flash possibility!
[Desire HD Android Development] Doktaphex:
I would be willing to give it a go, that process looks relatively straight forward, only this is I don't have a spare card. If I use titanium backup and then just copy the entire contents of my SD card would I then be all cool to format the SD or would the goldcard process then mess up my SD card for future use?
[Desire HD Android Development] xmoo:
For Goldcard you have to use 512mb, 1gb or 2gb sd-card. No SDHC, that doesn't support goldcard yet.
[Desire HD Android Development] Doktaphex:
If I had one lying around I'd do it, I guess I could go pick one up as they're pretty cheap really, only problem then is that I have a tiny card kicking around with no use for it. :D

EDIT: off to do some food shopping anyway, so I'll see if tesco have some cheap cards in
[Desire HD Android Development] JoeyM:
You would have a use, you'd be able to root Desire HDs!
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:
Or format and re-sell it ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] Doktaphex:
well tesco came up with the goods, 2gb sandisk microSD £3.25

So lets have a go, I guess I should back everything up first right?
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:
It shouldn't affect anything on the device - but for reassurance, I ALWAYS back stuff up before trying anything

Just back all your stuff up to your PC or original SD card and then put the 2GB card in and build the goldcard :)
[Desire HD Android Development] Doktaphex:
I shall set sail now, just backing up
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:
Great!

Technically the only thing you will lose is stuff on your SD card. But since its a new SD card you should have anything to worry about
[Desire HD Android Development] xmoo:
No he will loose everything on his phone.

Create goldcard,

Write the goldcard to ur sd-card.

Put sd-card in phone.

Start phone and set htc sync.

Run the test 1.15 ruu, and see if it flashes.

If it doesnt flash, give feedback what error code it is giving.

If update fails:

1. Prototype dhd's did have diffrent hardware, so this could effect the flashing.

2. Goldcard isn't working correctly.

3. Can't downgrade rom version.

4. Cab't downgrade bootloader (this issue did excist with normal Desire 0.80

Good luck.
[Desire HD Android Development] Doktaphex:
OK after entering the adb shell command I get an error that there is no such file or directory, do I need to be in bootloader or normal phone mode
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:
If you plan on making just the Goldcard - You won't lose anything on your phone

If you plan to make the Golcard and then try to flash a RUU - You will lose everything on your phone

Download an app called GoldCard Helper from the market. Use this to get your mmc cards long number by following the app instructions.

Then you can skip the part with the Android commands
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Found this

Issue: I get no such directory or file when I type:

cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid

Solution: Try to type this instead (replace the 1′s after mmc with zeros):

cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:*/cid
[Desire HD Android Development] Doktaphex:
Indeed I have, I have been using adb shell from my mac with success, I am now booted into my windows bootcamp drive and I can connect with adb but I get that error when giving this command: adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid

Is that the correct command?
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:
Download an app called GoldCard Helper from the market. Use this to get your mmc cards long number by following the app instructions.

use that App instead to get your CID :)
[Desire HD Android Development] Doktaphex:
OK so which card number do I use, it gives me mmc2 and mmc0?

Also explains why the command was returning an error

Edit: No worries I figured out which one I need
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:
Have you formatted the card to FAT32?
[Desire HD Android Development] Doktaphex:
Yes, that was the first thing that I did
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:
Don't format it with your phone. You will have to format it with your PC as Android creates 2 partitions on your SDCard.

Plug your phone into your computer as a disk drive. Right click on the removable drive and format it ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] Doktaphex:
I formatted it in windows, mmc0 must be the phone's internal memory as it stayed the same when I put my original card in.
[Desire HD Android Development] Doktaphex:
OK I now have my gold card, will report what happens as soon as this test ROM finishes downloading.
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:
MMC means memory card

As long as the MMC is the same one windows can see you'll be fine
[Desire HD Android Development] Doktaphex:
I am aware of this my friend, and hopefully in a little while I shall have some good news, if not then I will still have news all the same.
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:
Yeah sorry didn't mean to patronise. Just when you said MMC0 is the phones memory - I got a little confused.

Did you mean that MMC0 is the phones extended partition and MMC2 was the SCCard Partition?
[Desire HD Android Development] Doktaphex:
Basically yes, that 1.5GB of internal user storage.
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:
Oh sorry.

Yeah I forgot you were using the Goldcard Helper Application :o
[Desire HD Android Development] Doktaphex:
No problem, I just wish this ROM would download quicker as I want to see some form of result, be it positive or negative.
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:
Whats the ETA on it?
[Desire HD Android Development] Doktaphex:
keeps changing from 6 minutes to 4 minutes, so on an average scale of M$ minutes I would guess that it will finish sometime before 2012 :D
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:
Haha. Hope your downloading the right ROM ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] Doktaphex:
It's the one xmoo posted so hopefully
[Desire HD Android Development] Doktaphex:
ERROR [132]: SIGNATURE ERROR

The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone.

Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.

So what next?
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:
Bugger.

I'll try make one later. What brand card did you use?
[Desire HD Android Development] Doktaphex:
SanDisk 2GB
[Desire HD Android Development] TeCH-Guruz:
I have got a kingston 2GB that I used for my desire too scared to try this tho :o
[Desire HD Android Development] xmoo:
I prefer a test with kingston sd card.

Had this issue with Desire and HD2, that some brands didn't work... :P

There is nothing to be affraid. We got the full RUU to bring your phone back to stock.

I'm home in 3/4 hours, then I can try myself.
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:
I'm home now and can't find my damn spare card lol..
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:
Can you try it again but use MMC0?

And remove the SD out of your phone and put it into the PC - then edit the HEX. That way if MMC0 is your phone your won't edit the HEX codes ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] Kelthizar:
any news on this one, cant wait to see some progress here :)

I m used to flash my old Hero like every 1/2 week ;)

Thx to everyone working on the DHD :D
[Desire HD Android Development] Doktaphex:
I'll give it a go
[Desire HD Android Development] mikecoffee:
Sorry to jack hi kelthizar, but testing at moment don't mind pricking dhd its still on 14 days return....
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:
Feel free to try making a goldcard and flashing the test Rom.

If nobody can get it to work, I think we should modify a stock Rom so its not signed. Then try that so we know it works on our device normally
[Desire HD Android Development] l1nuxfre4k:
This thread is fun to read :D

Thx to you all here for that ^^
[Desire HD Android Development] Doktaphex:
attempting flash with mmc0 CID.

Failed sig check again.
[Desire HD Android Development] adwinp:
Argh. I forgot to extract the stock recovery at work today (to make the dhd rec.).

Can someone post the img from the RUU (take the 1.32 one - extract 1 from the 1.15 rom as well)?

I don't have wine on my private workstation and neither will I be installing a virtual windows system.
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:
Pretty sure you can extract the recovery in Linux ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] Doktaphex:
I'll do it if you give me pointers! Although that may well take longer than just doing it yourself. :D
[Desire HD Android Development] mikecoffee:
Hi

Just to let you know quick boot and visionary will put you into recovery mode with out fecking around with battery and volume up down.

Grrr
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:
Can't seem to bypass signature check just yet guys.

Anyone got a Kingston 2gb SD card?
[Desire HD Android Development] garok89:
i have a few nonames and a sandisk kicking around....a few instructions and il give it a shot
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:
I posted how to make a goldcard just before. Once that's done, just pop the card in. Reboot and try to flash the test Rom
[Desire HD Android Development] weasley:
Hello Fellow Member,

I had created a gold card with mmc0 and succesfully flashed RUU_Ace_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.32.707.1_Radio_12.28a.60.140e_26.03.02.08_M_release_153610_signed from my 3UK Stock Rom
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:
Thats because the ROM is signed.

We need to try an unsigned one.

Someone must have a Kingston card floating around somewhere?
[Desire HD Android Development] Doktaphex:
It strikes me as a little odd that the phone has an mmc0 and an mmc2 but no mmc1, anyone else think that doesn't make sense, I have a feeling that mmc1 is there and it's the CID we need, but HTC have hidden it using some form of protection.

I'm only speculating but it makes sense to me.
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:
A quick Google says that is MMC1 doesn't exist. Use MMC0
[Desire HD Android Development] Doktaphex:
fair enough, just speculation. I have tried both CIDs now and neither work on my SanDisk card.
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:
This leaves some possible reasons:

1) Goldcard will not work

2) Incorrect SD Card

3) Test ROM is hardware dependent

We can narrow this down by modifying the Stock Full RUU and trying a Kingston card
[Desire HD Android Development] adwinp:
It will still work since the stock RUUs are signed.
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:
Not if we modify it since technically it will become a custom rom.

If we could flash custom roms we wouldn't be going through all this ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] adwinp:
By modifying, you need to CHANGE one of the img files, not delete.
[Desire HD Android Development] garok89:
create a .txt file with random content and put it in the RUU .zip (thus unsigning the rom) and try again
[Desire HD Android Development] garok89:
quick question....do i use the 293 MB exe or try it with the 23MB .zip OTA?
[Desire HD Android Development] adwinp:
I've taken a look at the HBoot from 1.15; it's 0.85.0001 (retail DHD = 0.85.0007). No luck here. We need a pre-0.85.
[Desire HD Android Development] Doktaphex:
Damn, at least we can rule that out then. Surely there must be an earlier test rom out in the wild somewhere, I'm sure we haven't come to the last page of the internet yet! :D
[Desire HD Android Development] adwinp:
Already done.

http://rapidshare.com/files/427868482/dhd_rec.img
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:
Great. Guess we could try rebuilding clockwork mod now
[Desire HD Android Development] Doktaphex:
So, is anyone actively rebuilding clockwork at the moment? If I was more knowledgable I'd be working on it right now, and I'm a willing guinea pig when the time for testing cometh.
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:
Not currently. I need to download Ubunutu and VMWare till I can even try. I think rebuilding will be a learning curve though.

Trying to download the various things, however my internet is being a nightmare. Keeps conking out when I try and download things :mad:
[Desire HD Android Development] adwinp:
This IS clockwork mod, with dhd's kernel and its start block.

;]
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:
Oh! Nice one!

Right, i'll guess we can see what we can do.

In the mean time, im off to get Halloween and Bonfire Night stuff :D
[Desire HD Android Development] xmoo:
Guys I'm off the whole weekend so can't help. I'm still trying to find the old test ruu.

But I have heard from a source that the prototype dhd's had diffrent hardware. So this could also be a issue with flashing older rom/bootloader.

Goodluck all
[Desire HD Android Development] adwinp:
This doesn't matter, as long as we get the hboot (or even radio) from that RUU to flash.
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:
We still need a development device or someone who is willing to risk bricking their own handset to test it out..
[Desire HD Android Development] Doktaphex:
So IF I try to run this version of clockwork, do we think I would be able to recover by running the current RUU to reflash to phone if something goes wrong and how would I go about running it in the first place, I've been looking around for instructions, but maybe I'm just rubbish at using google, because I can't seem to find definitive instructions.
[Desire HD Android Development] Evostance:
As xmoo has said, its just like a live cd so shouldn't technically write anything to disk.

As getting it to boot, I think it will need to be in an update.zip

I'm currently on ny phone so best asking adwinp
[Desire HD Android Development] Doktaphex:
Well, I got nowhere fast trying to run this image. I simply don't know enough. This is after all my first Android.
