Can you try this archive if it works and solves the md5sum not found issue?

Please test the check script first and after that the backup script then report back if there are any errors.

If there are no errors the hboot script should work too, but report back with your finding first please. I have no DHD at hand currently.
[Desire HD Android Development] sfjuocekr:
The blank line means it works, it's waiting for stdin.

Please try the archive attached in my previous post.
[Desire HD Android Development] nickwarn:
I need a little help understanding what happens during the flash.

Is it something like, first it runs a check of the md5 sum( if it fails for any reason still safe to reboot). then the next step is the flashing and it shows md5sums for the new file and the one being replaced.(and the only thing that can make this sums different is if their was something wrong with the downloaded file. So i could just download it again and do the whole thing again. As long as i dont reboot i will be fine? I have read the tutorial over and over again and different threads for days about this topic. And they all describe very nice how to proceed. But not if anything goes wrong. And soon their will be a clockwork recovery out for DHD, and i want it. I really cant stand Sense. greatfull for help
[Desire HD Android Development] Bobblot:
Its reading my md5sum now with the 0.3-bb but I don't need to continue as S-OFF is done already?
[Desire HD Android Development] no1male:
All seems ok now.

How do I check that it is now S-off?

Remember noob here ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] sfjuocekr:
First script will check if the downloaded file has the correct MD5.

Second script will make a backup (twice) and show you the sums, if they do not match something goes wrong with dumping and that shouldn't happen.

Third script will flash HBOOT, then dump it again and show you the MD5 sums and that of the original HBOOT. The first two match, it worked and you are now S-OFF after a reboot. The first and third match, module failed to load you didn't modify anything and are safe to reboot. If the first doesn't match either second or third writing failed and you are NOT safe to reboot ... again this should not happen.

So yes if the first check fails, you can download/extract again and see if the MD5 sums match.

In the last case where flashing HBOOT went wrong you can try restore with the restore script ... you are likely to have badblocks in the HBOOT partition and the original backup should work.

Yea there is no need to continue for you, you can test the backup script and the backup it makes will have the same MD5 sum as the S-OFF HBOOT.
[Desire HD Android Development] sfjuocekr:
So after running the hboot script the first two MD5 sums matched up for you?

If so you can turn off your phone, boot it up with volume down pressed and the bootloader will tell you S-OFF in the top line.
[Desire HD Android Development] no1male:
Both matched. Got into bootloader and s-off :)

Thanks so much! All we need now is clockwork mod or amonra :) will they be flashed in bootloader when there released?
[Desire HD Android Development] sfjuocekr:
ClockWorkMod > AmonRA for me.

But hopefully psfMod will be ported to the DHD too, it's a fork of CWM.
[Desire HD Android Development] no1male:
Awesome thanks for the help :)
[Desire HD Android Development] sfjuocekr:
No problem, thanks to you guys reporting problems and findings for me to solve these issues.

Might start working on automating the whole process now.
[Desire HD Android Development] nickwarn:
i just whant to say THANK YOU! I was a little worried about this S-OFF thing

But you made it very simple for us wwith no xperience. Just to follow instructions, XLLENT
[Desire HD Android Development] sfjuocekr:
Your welcome.
[Desire HD Android Development] samchilla:
first and third

Hi, I've been following along - its awesome to see how helpful everyone is here.

I'm stuck with 'the first and the third sums match but the second one is different' which means, it failed writing - is there anything that can be done from here?

I know I can reboot etc but it doesnt turn s off which is what im trying to do

I'm a bit of a noob sorry.
[Desire HD Android Development] sfjuocekr:
Do you see any error output from the hboot script? If so please make a screenshot, you can make a screenshot using ShootMe from the market.

Also after running the hboot script type the following in the console:

dmesg

And make a screenshot of that too please.

The dmesg output should have this near the end:

Starting deferred resume

mmc0: Deferred resume completed
[Desire HD Android Development] afrcom15:
Quick one and probably been answered many times before:

If for whatever reason I wanted to go to S-ON again, is it just a case of running a stock RUU?
[Desire HD Android Development] mohit1234:
hi

i just tried the new DHD-v0.3-bb.zip tht u uploaded

in the check both md5sums were the same

in the backup also

but in the 3rd step this is wat im getting

wat shud i do??

as the 1st and 3rd md5sums r the same, i should be safe right??
[Desire HD Android Development] :
you are safe, just that the s-off bootloader hasnt been flashed. you can reboot.

observe the first errror - insmod - EXEC FORM!!! error.

what you WANT is "function not implemented"

what you do not want is anything else. that simply means the "switch" to make your system unlocked so that you can flash the bootloader was not done correctly
[Desire HD Android Development] mohit1234:
oh ok

so wat can i do now??

also, will there be any other method to s-off in the future which is less risky??

also do i need s-off for changing my bootscreen and for overclocking using apache14's kernel??
[Desire HD Android Development] Birba:
I thoght in evostance's permroot guide you have to chose the right hboot on a hex check....

Or am I mistaken?
[Desire HD Android Development] jonata:
sorry if repeat :

with root lost the OTA updates from htc ?

thanks for reply
[Desire HD Android Development] faby71:
To take root, just reinstall rom OTA?:confused:

Thank
[Desire HD Android Development] berek9999:
Very well put, and I agree with every word. The problem is, if people are too lazy to read simple instructions on how to root, they're probably too lazy to read this as well. :)
[Desire HD Android Development] berek9999:
Only just had the time to get round to trying this, but it all worked fine.

Many thanks for your help and quick response - I'm a happy bunny now :)
[Desire HD Android Development] sfjuocekr:
You can run:

su

sh /sdcard/restore

To revert back to original.
[Desire HD Android Development] sfjuocekr:
Yes you are safe.

Double check if permrooting didn't fail (do it again and reboot) and that there are no options checked in VISIONairy+.
[Desire HD Android Development] sfjuocekr:
OTA updates should still work.
[Desire HD Android Development] sfjuocekr:
You are mixing up HBOOT with the kernel module needed.

VISIONairy+ will do that for us and place the working module in /data/local if it doesn't work permrooting should have failed too.
[Desire HD Android Development] toddyc:
I already have perm root using evostances method where do i start with s-off ?
[Desire HD Android Development] sfjuocekr:
My guide requires that you have done permroot using VISIONairy+ because of the module it uses.

Otherwise you can manually load the required module before invoking the hboot script. But start with check.
[Desire HD Android Development] toddyc:
Thanks for that all done worked fine was expecting it to take a while to do but only took a couple of mins :) now for a recovery image.

Thanks for all the hard work being put into the DHD looking forward to some custom roms soon :)

:D
[Desire HD Android Development] sfjuocekr:
Yup, me too.

I'd like to port CM over, but my current intrepid build environment fails and have no Desire HD at hand. I own a Desire, friends of mine have the HD and usually don't like me making bricks :p Not that those bricks aren't fixable, but having them run around in panic doesn't help development at home.
[Desire HD Android Development] Eclectik:
Is anyone haveing WIFI problems after this?
[Desire HD Android Development] sfjuocekr:
Nothing wireless related is changed.

Did you update the kernel yourself and skipped pushing the wireless module?
[Desire HD Android Development] Eclectik:
hmm, I did:

STEP 1: Download "Android Terminal Emulator" from market, if you didn't do so already.
STEP 2: Download VISIONairy+ r12 or higher if you didn't do so already: r12-test-visionary-one-click-root/
STEP 3: Install VISIONairy+ using a file manager or clicking the completed download on your phone and use it to permroot your device. Do not check any options!
STEP 4: Extract the achive to your SD so you have a DHD directory in the root of your SD and if you enter the directory you will see some files in it (double check this!).
STEP 5: Open Android Terminal Emulator and enter the following:

I see nothing about pushing a wifi module :/

EDIT: I think you were talking about this thread showthread.php?t=836259 (I cant post full links). Ive follwoed the instructions for pushing the wifi even though I havent performed that mod as such. Yet I still sit with a wifi error :/
[Desire HD Android Development] sfjuocekr:
As I said nothing during the rooting and S-OFF process changes anything about wireless.

And I asked "Did you update the kernel yourself and skipped pushing the wireless module?" as there are multiple different kernels available which include pushing a new wireless module to your phone. That was the only thing I could think off that might have gone wrong.
[Desire HD Android Development] Eclectik:
I see what your saying. I permarooted with Visionary+ r12. Then followed your/this guide to S-OFF.

After that, I was very happy to see my phone reboot. I then followed Apache14's guide to his "1.29 cool-as-ice" OC kernel, which strangely has the CPU run upto 1.49 unless I set it in setCPU to less.

Somewhere between the permaroot and the OC kernel wifi doesnt work, where it happened obviously I have no clue.

I have since followed [RECOVERY] Recovery image w/ ADB Shell support by Raider using the instructions in post #1. Still no wifi.

Since your comment about pushing wifi I followed just the push wifi instructions in Kamma's [KERNEL][UPD][2010-11-14]kAmMa's OC&GOV Kernel - Performance and Stability thread.

I still have no wifi, does anyone have any ideas or pointers on what to try now?
[Desire HD Android Development] sfjuocekr:
If you followed http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=836259 did you perform step 6?

If so could you please open a terminal or adb shell and try the following:

su

insmod /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko

If it tells you failed file exists it means the module was already loaded, but this is something you should report in the respective kernel thread.
[Desire HD Android Development] Eclectik:
Ya, sorry for jacking this thread. Thank you for the guide on S-OFF, it worked beautifully I should add!

I have since fixed the problem. Thank you kindly for the support, sir.

A beer on me is winging your way.
[Desire HD Android Development] sfjuocekr:
Could you enlighten me what you did to solve the problem? Im curious :)
[Desire HD Android Development] mohit1234:
hi

just wanted to know whether there will be another way to s-off in the future (like a less risky way or sumthing)

cos i dont want to brick my device just in case i make a mistake or something happens

also do i need s-off for changing my bootscreen and for overclocking using apache14's kernel??

thnx
[Desire HD Android Development] sfjuocekr:
Flashing the bootloader is risky in any device, be it a phone, a router or whatever you can think off.

You need S-OFF to be able to change splash1/2, flash anything not from HTC and make changes to otherwise locked partitions.

Sofar I have seen one report of a brick, but his issue got resolved and is now a happy man again. There have been atleast a few hundred people who flashed their device so the fail ratio is really low.
[Desire HD Android Development] :
true sfjuocekr,

They may be able to flash the BL ok.

But just wait, if everyone is having such issues with your guide (which is really almost foolproof enough for a random soccermum to flash their phone), the bricks will come.

It is inevitable and I guarantee it.

Not because the ROMS/instructions are faulty, but s-off is not intended for the average user or for the faint-at-heart (or soccermums)...
[Desire HD Android Development] sfjuocekr:
Now I see what is wrong, you have the OC kernel.

You should already have the S-OFF bootloader if you used fastboot to flash the kernel image.

You can check, just turn off your phone and boot it up with volume down pressed. The top line will show S-OFF.
[Desire HD Android Development] sfjuocekr:
The test of time still has not passed, but with almost 200 download on the last version, over 300 downloads on the first version and hundreds of other users in the other threads I can safely say the fail ratio is really low. The S-OFF thread for the normal Desire (which I own) also has a very low fail ratio.

Ofcourse this doesn't mean people should blindly rush in without understanding the risks, but I'm an informaticus I thrust in modern technology and was one of the very first to put a DHD on the line ;) Actually the DHD of a friend of mine was put on the line for this cause.

The main reason to flash S-OFF right now is to be able to flash a custom recovery and be able to flash custom ROM's. This should also be possible if you flash a custom recovery after loading the module, but this recovery would have to load the kernel module itself to gain eMCC write, but sofar this has not been done yet. It might be a good idea to do so tho to keep people away from flashing the S-OFF bootloader.
[Desire HD Android Development] sfjuocekr:
Could someone test the following in a terminal for me please:

su

busybox dd -h

Does it give help output yes or no?

Whereas:

dd -h

Will give you unknown option?

Thanks in advance.

Hi.

This is what i am geting so far.. does is look okay? should i continue?

waiting for an answer right now here :P

i have perm/temp rooted if u wonder

[Desire HD Android Development] Stanimir Komitov:
Hi guys,

Everything went well as described, all MD5 match, but I got this error message:

insmod: init_module '/data/local/wpthis-lovinglymadeforyoubymodaco.ko' failed (Exec format error)

I'm using VISIONairy+ r12, rooting without problem, but when I try to remount now in cmd, I'm getting "operation not permitted". The same happens in Terminal emulator on the phone. I guess I've missed something on the way.

I also tried reinstalling VISIONairy+ r12 and repeated the steps 2-3 times, but the error message is still the same.

Any help will be appreciated.
[Desire HD Android Development] mohit1234:
yeah i was getting the same error

i had rooted, got permroot and uninstalled visionary

i still had root after tht but i was getting this error

so i reinstalled visionary r12 and clicked only on permanent root(dont tick any of the boxes)

and then after it restarted i tried the DHD v0.4 again and it worked

hope this works for u
[Desire HD Android Development] Stanimir Komitov:
I did that exactly - clicking only on permroot in Visionary r12 without the check boxes. Tried reinstalling and did it again --> same thing.

Forgot to mention that I've previously did a permroot by the guide in this post, which was successful --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=834427

I don't know if these two are in conflict or if I should stick now to the first guide only.
[Desire HD Android Development] sfjuocekr:
insmod: init_module '/data/local/wpthis-lovinglymadeforyoubymodaco.ko' failed (Exec format error)

This is not correct, did you check any options in VISIONairy+? Mainly auto temp root on boot as this can cause this problem. Just try again with no options checked, hit permroot and reboot.

Could you also do this in terminal:

su

uname -a

And report it's output.

It's highly likely that the permroot failed if that module won't load.
[Desire HD Android Development] sfjuocekr:
Before invoking the hboot script you can load the module you used in that method too.
[Desire HD Android Development] sfjuocekr:
Yes those sums are correct.

Food/beer donations you can do trough paypal ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] Stanimir Komitov:
No check boxes(options) were ticked.

"uname: not found" is what I get.

Can you please tell me how can I fix this?
[Desire HD Android Development] sfjuocekr:
You can do this:

cat /proc/version

It will give the same information.

But if you still have the module from your previous root, you can load that before invoking the hboot script and it will work.

Hi all, Just as the title states.

Im choosing between those 2 phones. The Galaxy S and the HTC Desire HD.

BTW, im from Singapore and currently the HTC Desire HD is not out yet on singapore carriers. Moreover, the Galaxy S MIGHT be cheaper than HTC Desire HD as its an older phone (i guess)..

Im upgrading from my Omnia 2(winmo "FTW!") and want to change to an android device that can provide me with the maximum android experience without lag.

IMO. i think that touchwiz 3.0 is laggy sometimes. (Correct me if im wrong)

and i LOVE HTC sense UI.

So why am i asking you guys this question?

These are the factors that is holding me back from making a choice.

***Note these are only MY OPINIONS.

[they can change depending on ur answers =D]

Galaxy S-----

the good

-Super Amoled Screen only =/

the bad

-needs to be rooted

-touchwiz 3.0...

HTC Desire HD-------

the good

-4.3inch

-HTC sense

-integration with htcsense dot com

the bad

-Noobish LCD screen...

-Heavy??? i guess...

So guys pls write down your views on these 2 phones so that i can make a choice.

THANK YOU.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] oldmanofskye:
Just got myself Desire HD and I'm loving it - it's really a great device, however there are some downsides:

- speaker is really bad and quiet. Would love if it had speaker as good as n95 (I know, impossible considering the thickness of desire hd)

- the body of the phone is top quality, except battery and sim covers - really cheap plastic.

- battery life isn't as good as some other smartphones on the market, but soon we will be able to get batteries with slightly more "juice" (~1500 vs ~1200) - same size.

- screen doesn't have the same "wow" factor as galaxy s.

Other than that its really good, I'm happy with my choice and, as long you remember all the downsides you won't regret choosing desire hd.

For more info look for other topics on this subject.

I have the same problem :(

I dont understand, what is so special on this aplication, that its not possible download it from repository of market. Other applications are downloading correctly.

When I press install, It seems that it will start downloading, but after few seconds apears download bar, where is nothing happening. I am user of Desire with Leedroid froyo rom. I tried clean market and download manager data, but problem is still there.
