hmm didnt think so me either.. but i cant figure out why the option for norwegian isnt there any more.. its only english spanish french and italian. also if i flash the wwe rom its the same. another question, is ther any way to find and reset the cid no on 1.72 i had cwm on it and i think it took some backup of some stuff. su-2.3.1-bin-signed ?? i have no ide and have tryed google alot :-P sorry for bad english
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Flindell, you could try app called Morelocale, I hope it has norwegian :)

You cannot use this tool on 1.72, so you cannot change the CID either.. But if I was you I would not touch it, as your device is probably SuperCID, the ro.cid is just different.

KeyBee, nothing new yet..
[Desire HD Android Development] flindell:
ok thanks for reply. no unfortunatly its not supercid.. i did the s-on whit the stoc cid 001.. i decided to go for stock again, and dont play any more :-P but probably to late then..

cant see what cid should have whit this language problem but.. i cant see any other solution either..
[Desire HD Android Development] adsamcik:
I think they will never disable flashing... Everytime there must be way.. I think for some repairs they just need to flash totally new soft so they must have any "backdoors"
[Desire HD Android Development] flindell:
morelocale fixed it for now :-) and i fixed the keyboard also :-) but still a mystery to me.. done hard reset so many times and never seen this problem.. huuum.. its in ther but i cant choose it.. thanks for your help and efort anyway :-)
[Desire HD Android Development] salgrign:
Help needed , I have done rooting,S-OFF and installed clockwork recovery mod on my desire hd but I dont knw how to apply "SuperCID" ?

Please help me out here
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Did you use this tool to get S-OFF?
[Desire HD Android Development] salgrign:
nope i used the normal way , using hboot . Does this tool comes with SuperCID ?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Yes, it can make your device SuperCID. Just use the first option.
[Desire HD Android Development] 2WildFirE:
hello i am new here an my english is very bad

i have a question

works it only on desire hd?

i have a desire with unrevoked root
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Only tested on Desire HD, but it probably works on G2 and Desire Z, too. It will not work on the normal Desire.
[Desire HD Android Development] 2WildFirE:
ok thanks for information
[Desire HD Android Development] valos:
What will happen???

hello,

Is it possible to tell me what will happen if I do a OTA update after installing this tool?

I have a S-OFF with this tool and clockwork installed.

When I want to do OTA update, am I losing "root", it's not really clear to me.

And if I do a OTA update what should I do afterwards?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
If you have Radio S-OFF and Super CID, you have the possibility to downgrade some day. You will not have root when you do OTA even if you have S-OFF.
[Desire HD Android Development] valos:
So wenn I want the new update from HTC (1.7........) I have to do it with clockwork te keep a rooted device if I understand it right?

I also did permroot
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Yep, if you want 1.72 based rooted rom, get a custom rom.
[Desire HD Android Development] salgrign:
Thanks mate for the fast reply :)

flash new radio

jkoljo ....

can you please make utility to flash the radio in on clik (.... magic .... ) ;)

or at least vedio to explane that with the need it file to do that ... to be honest i search in all www to find an easy way to flash the radio but i didnot find that ....:mad:
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Hmm, there is a new guide to do it manually in this forum, but it is pretty long.. I'll think about it :)
[Desire HD Android Development] Rehajel:
Hi!

I'm sorry if this has been answered before, but a quick search did not come back with any results.

I used this tool to root my DesireHD and am currently running a CyanogenMod Custom Rom.

Now I read that it is recommended to use a specific Radio with the rom because old ones have battery drain issues.

Now I'm a little confused about the mechanics of the S-OFF and Radio Images as to what is manipulated etc.

Is it "safe" (as in: will i still have a rooted phone) to flash the new Radio that I found in the other Thread here on XDA?

Because as I understand this way you explain in this thread the S-OFF is done via a modification of the radio image and i'm afraid i "overwrite" this when flashing a new radio.

Kind Regards
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Flashing a radio will not overwrite the Radio S-OFF, because the actual S-OFF information is stored elsewhere, in the radio configuration partition. So it is safe to flash a radio.

Please keep in mind that to flash a radio, you will also need ENG S-OFF.
[Desire HD Android Development] iuda:
hi all! pls need help, try this tool but it doesnt work for me..connect dhd charge only and so on according to the instruction but it doesnt work...rom android revolution based on 1.32.. sorry for my english)
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
What does it say and how do you know it does not work?
[Desire HD Android Development] iuda:
there is no any activity i mean indicator (green line) doent move, the program hangs, and there is no any superuser permition on my dhd...maybe i have some problem with drivers?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Yep, it is probably the drivers. Do you have HTC Sync?
[Desire HD Android Development] iuda:
yes sure, and when i connect dhd with htc sync? on the screen i see hboot usb plug
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Yeah but do you have it installed on your PC? About hboot usb plug, you need to be in Android for the tool to work, not in hboot. Please see the video :)
[Desire HD Android Development] iuda:
yeah i have it on my pc, and i've watched your video so many times!) i just want to say that i've tryed both way in Android and in hboot) i think i need to reinstall htc sync?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Maybe you have to. You could also try another computer. Try to install new version of .NET.
[Desire HD Android Development] iuda:
jkoljo MAN! i have good news) i've reinstalled htc sync and made procedure one more and yout tool said DONE! I pressed system info and now i have CID-11111111, but where can i see Radio S-OFF?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Nice, so it was a driver problem :)

If you have ENG S-OFF, you can verify Radio S-OFF only manually via command line stuff, but if the SuperCID worked, then Radio S-OFF also worked because those go "in" the same time.
[Desire HD Android Development] rex922:
I tried the tool and my CID is still HTC__044

but nvm its an unbranded device

Also you can add into your thread about HTC__044 is the asian default unbranded CID
[Desire HD Android Development] iuda:
pls need your help one more time) i try to flash Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2 through recovery like rom but nothing happens...maybe i should rename it or something else? or I indeed have no radio s-off despite i have cid-11111111? sorry formy english)
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
You cannot install a radio in recovery, only in fastboot.

rex922: which radio (settings/about/sofware info/baseband version) are you on?
[Desire HD Android Development] iuda:
Radio 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M

rom Android revolution based on 1.32

What do you mean only in fastboot? how?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
You have to use Android SDK fastboot.exe to flash your radio. The device has to be in bootloader fastboot mode, etc.. Check this guide.
[Desire HD Android Development] elboco:
Android 2.2.1

Visionary dosent work on Android 2.2.1 just got a black screen. And have to reboot device all the time. I want too root my hd :(

Any help?
[Desire HD Android Development] iuda:
Thank you very much man! i'll try!
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Please see the system requirements and FAQ, there is a link to a thorough explanation.
[Desire HD Android Development] elboco:
2.2.1

****. My luck.. grrrrr :)
[Desire HD Android Development] reneover:
I have the 1.72 version from the android revolution HD ROM, i didn't do the OTA, but i still can't do radio s-off.

Or can't you go radio s-off at all with 1.72?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
You have to go back to 1.32. Remember to downgrade the radio, if you have upgraded.
[Desire HD Android Development] reneover:
I think i don't upgraded my radio ever, because you need radio s-off to do that right:P?

When do you think it is possible to do radio s-off with 1.72?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Well it is possible with certain versions.

S-OFFing with 1.72.. Never. But downgrading 1.72 to 1.32, maybe in a month or so, really hard to say because when someone just finds out how to get temporary root... The downgrade method will be devved almost instantly.
[Desire HD Android Development] Diaoul:
Definitely the best tool for DHD :)

However, this guide should've a section "How do I know ?" that describes steps to check current CID or Radio S-OFF status (yes I have it, no I haven't).

I had to use search tool intensively to get answer to that simple question ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] sadonlyone:
so, is there any chance for me, after i upgraded to 2.2.1(1.72.405.3 and baseband 12.28e.60.140) with s-on, to go back and get root ?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
See the second post now, anything to add? :)

Unfortunately no, you are stuck for now.
[Desire HD Android Development] sadonlyone:
ok, thanks. let's keep the hope alive then...
[Desire HD Android Development] lilil:
Hey jkoljo, I have a few questions to you:

1. Does the command "su [...] busybox dd if=/sdcard/hboot_original.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18" also restore the original CID?

2. Will the command work with 1.72.405.3 when root is possible?

3. Can I change the CID without having Radio S-OFF ( e.g. make temproot, start your tool, choose "Stock CID")?

Thanks for answering my questions and excuse me if the questions were already anwered....
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
1. Wrong tool :) This uses p7. And nope, that does not restore original CID.

2. No, root needed

3. Yes you can
[Desire HD Android Development] lilil:
This means that there is not a possibiliy to restore the original CID in 1.72.405.3 yet, right?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
No, because you need root for that.. And also the radio has to be from 1.32 or lower. The 1.72 radio makes the tool fail.
[Desire HD Android Development] specialkey69:
How can I can go back to original fw?

I have a branded 3uk phone.

I have back up rom and radio 7.

Thanks

Joe
[Desire HD Android Development] lilil:
Isn't there a method to restore the P7 like the command for the hboot_original.bin?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Restore rom backup, install stock recovery using the manual way (instructions in paulobriens thread) then do Stock CID and S-ON using the tool.

lilil, yes there is but it requires ENG S-OFF.
[Desire HD Android Development] lilil:
OK thanks but I have one last question:

Can I restore a rom using the CWM without having root and radio s-off?

Thanks...
[Desire HD Android Development] valos:
To make it clear to me.

Hi, just a question to make it clear to me;

I have a version 1.32.405.6 DHD

I have ENG S-OFF

I have CID-1111111111111

I have RADIO S-OFF

When I want to update to the newer firmware can I just install the RUU (HTC provided) from my Windows system or OTA and am I able to downgrade after that? Or do I need to upgrade with some tools?

I made a backup to my sd card with Rom Manager from my original rom
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
No, if you mean a nandroid backup.

Yes you can just install the RUU, Radio S-OFF and SuperCID will remain but ENG S-OFF will go away. Then you can just install older HTC rom from the SD card when you want to go back.
[Desire HD Android Development] specialkey69:
I am stack on install stock recovery...any help?

thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
It might be easiest to just install a HTC ruu, but it is possible to flash a stock recovery. I can talk you through it tomorrow, but basically it goes like this:

Get the stock recovery from any HTC RUU rom.zip (it appears in temp folder when you run RUU, search), put it to SD, go to android, temproot, insmod wpthis.ko (get it from emmc write instructions topic), and dd flash the recovery. As you can see it is a lot harder to do revert to stock branded rom. People at freenode irc #desirehd can also help you :)
[Desire HD Android Development] specialkey69:
if I use rom manager and I put the rom backup on then what I need to do?

thanks guys.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
If you want to go full stock, you need to do what I wrote above.. It is not a simple process to go to branded stock, but those guys in freenode can help you as I do not have a working PC right now.
[Desire HD Android Development] lilil:
Hi,

I wanted to change my CID into HTC__102 (HTC Germany) to get the new OTA Update. If I don't like it, can I downgrade to 1.32....with only having Radio S-OFF

(root is not possible in 1.72..., and CID is HTC__102)???

Thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
As already discussed, OTA is not possible even if you change the CID. You have to do it using a HTC RUU.

So do Radio S-OFF, SuperCID, download HTC RUU and run it. Alternatively you can follow "flashing from microsd" (or something like that) thread instructions to flash the RUU rom.zip from your SD.

Then if you some day want to downgrade, just get the zip from older ruu, rename it accordin to microsd flashing thread instructions and reboot to bootloader. It will do the rest.
[Desire HD Android Development] zenkinz:
I know I need to have S-OFF, and install CWM recovery before updating 1.72 OTA to retain the root. Question then is would Radio S-OFF be good enough, or I need to do Super CID? (Mine is already sim-unlock).
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Do SuperCID, too. You can select the first option, simunlock does not do anything to already simunlocked phone.
[Desire HD Android Development] lilil:
Hi, but as already said, in a German forum many people got the OTA Update by changing the CID into HTC__102.

So I only want to know if I can downgrade with only having Radio S-OFF???

Thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Nope, you need to have SuperCID, too.
[Desire HD Android Development] ocr123:
Hello, I'm new to this forum so bare with me. I just got my DHD yesterday and started using it a little. Can I use this tool to root my device? Do I have to reset it first? How do I do a back up before I begin?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
You can use this tool to S-OFF your device after you get root using Visionary as per instructions in the first post. No need to backup before you begin, the tool will make a backup automatically. And you do not need to reset your device.

Just check that the build number in Settings/About phone/Software information is not 1.72 or higher, because those cannot be rooted yet.
[Desire HD Android Development] ocr123:
Thanks! Already checked build number and it's 1.32 :-)
[Desire HD Android Development] lilil:
What about ENG S-OFF?? Is with it a downgrade possible without SuperCID??

I'm sorry for my many and stupid questions.

Thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] ocr123:
I did all of your steps and I think everything went fine. I downloaded Rom Manager and installed that recovery thingy. How do I know my device is rooted? Is there any way to check this?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
You will lose ENG S-OFF when you update, so that will definitely not help. You have to have Radio S-OFF and SuperCID if you want to downgrade some day.

Well, the fact that you could install recovery tells that your device is ready to rock :)
[Desire HD Android Development] talhah1:
Hi

Great thread and even better tool. I followed all the steps in the guide and everything seemed to apparently work.

I turned off the phone and held down the vol down and on button. I received

ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF in the first line but not did not get CID is 11111111.

What does that mean?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Check second post, you cannot see CID in SHIP bootloader. If you just selected the first option and your device is SHIP S-OFF, you are good.
[Desire HD Android Development] Framedtrash:
thanks jkoljo for this great tool

picked up my vodafone badged phone a few hrs ago

used your tool and have now debadged the phone and no longer have any of the vodafone crap slowing up my phone

thanks again mate

Instructions on how to restore branded backup, and do s-on

As you people may have noticed, it is a lot easier to go to stock when you have the RUU.exe from HTC. In some cases the RUU is not available, and the only option is to restore nandroid backup of the branded rom. After that, the user has to manually remove clockworkmod and then do Stock CID & S-ON with my tool + Visionary unroot. I have now written instructions on how to do that.

These instructions work if the "starting point" is: Nandroid backup of the original rom in SD, ClockworkMod, Radio S-OFF and SuperCID in the phone (+ hboot_original.bin in SD card from ENG S-OFF tool if you used that). So, let's get started.

Go to ClockworkMod, and restore branded rom backup. It will take some time, then reboot the phone. Download attached stock recovery, unzip it, and put it to your SD card. Get Easy Radio Tool, and go to it's folder in command window (cmd). Type:

Go to the Easy Radio Tool, and first do Stock CID. Type the stock CID that you previously got to the text field. Click "do it". When that is finished, select S-ON and also click "do it". You can then go to Visionary, and unroot your device.

Finally, you can go to the bootloader to check that everything is stock, the first line should read: ACE PVT SHIP S-ON.

Remember that the device has to be in charge only -state all the time. Moving recovery to SD is an exception. Usb debugging has to be enabled, and HTC Sync installed on the PC.

Huge thanks to specialkey, who tested this method in practice!
[Desire HD Android Development] :
Okay, just flashed this :S Used the first option on the tool (Radio S-OFF, SuperCID, etc).

I've got SuperCID, but no radio S-OFF? In the bootloader it only says ENG S-OFF! Any idea what I can do? :S

I did have ENG S-OFF before I did this radio S-OFF though.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
There are FAQ and "Checking device state" information boxes in the second post, please read them :)
[Desire HD Android Development] :
Ah, I did actually read them a few times! I missed the most important parts all of those xD! Sorry, and thanks!

Glad it worked :)
[Desire HD Android Development] badzman:
can this tool do ENG S-OFF or just RADIO S-OFF?
[Desire HD Android Development] suman_pal78:
Hi jkoljo...Please help suggesting my query,

I have HTC Desire HD India...gained perm root and cmw installed...no issue with phone. Can I now use "Easy Radio Tool" as already CMW installed?...PLEASE HELP
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
It will do Radio S-OFF, SuperCID and simunlock, I have another tool for ENG S-OFF.

Yes you can use this tool, clockworkmod does not matter. If you are on a 1.72 based rom, that could cause some problems.
[Desire HD Android Development] suman_pal78:
my software no is 1.32.720.5, kernel version 2.6.32.21, baseband version 12.28b.60.140eU...hope its ok. can u please suggest...thank you

SuperCID for Wildfire

Hi,

does someone know how to get SuperCID on a HTC Wildfire? Does the Easy Radio tool v2_2 work if i root my Wildfire with Unrevoked3?

How to set SuperCID manually if I am root?

I have the same problem getting updates for my debranded Wildfire.

I described it here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=902756&highlight=CID
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
It is not easy on these devices, and sorry, the tool will not work on Wildfire. One option is to use HTC RUU, get the rom.zip from it (appears to your computer's temp folder), rename it and flash it in bootloader. The update will work just as OTA, but it will also wipe your phone.
[Desire HD Android Development] kingcedz:
had mine radio S-Off using this tool from 1.32, extremely handy for testing new ROM. Had just flashed the 1.75 RUU, had a bit play around, then downgrade to 1.32 and restored backup to exactly where I was 2hrs ago. :)

in case anyone interested, Here are the steps I followed:

pre-requisite: Radio S-Off, SuperCID, ClockWorkMod, rooted (1.32)

1)Nandroid backup in CWM

2) install 1.75 RUU following the installation instruction here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=841890

You can find RUU files here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=824357

3) do whatever you want with the 1.75 ROM, bear in mind you would have lost ur root and CWM recovery and etc..basically everything is back to stock other than Radio S-Off and SuperCID which are always remained in tact.

4)when want to go back to previously, install the 1.32 RUU using exactly the same steps from 2)

5)The phone is now back to 1.32 stock unrooted status but with radio S-Off, SuperCID status, but in order to use custom recovery you still need root and install CWM. Follow some of the steps in the first post in this thread, i.e.: VISIONary temproot, VISIONary perm root, ROM Manager, Flash CWM.

6)Boot into custom recovery by holding power and vol down, restore the backup from 1), and you are back to where you started.

very handy for trying out new RUU and have the comfort of knowing there s always something to fall back on! :)
[Desire HD Android Development] meteorlim:
Thanks for the radio S off
[Desire HD Android Development] quitline:
hi, thanks man! after Radio S-OFF why should I use ClockWorkMod? what does this recover for?

cheers
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
You can then install rom manager, and flash ClockworkMod. ClockworkMod will allow you to install ROMs, it does not really recover anything despite the name :)
[Desire HD Android Development] dagobertduck:
Thank you for your answer!

I made a Goldcard and did the HTC RUU for Froyo from here:

http://www.bestblog.de/?p=1945.

But the CID the phone sends in the OTA request did not change. I would wipe my phone again to get the right CID because it will be possible to get no further updates. I described the problem in my post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=10383023

What do i have to do with the Rom.zip?

Extracting I can do. And what do I have to do with it?

Rename it to what? And do I need to install it manually?

Will it not install within the RUU update?

What does the "Desire HD easy radio tool.exe" do to change the CID?

Best regards
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
You can modify the android-info.txt, just add your own CID. You will lose the .zip's offical HTC signature, but that is okay because you have S-OFF, the device will not care.

The radio tool changes your device's actual CID, but it does not change the software CID. That is why you cannot do OTA updates, but you can install anything from SD using PD98IMG.zip :)
[Desire HD Android Development] okanx2:
The Tool freezes at "Syncing"

Where is the Problem?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
It seems that your device did not accept something, what is your rom and kernel version? Do you have permroot?
[Desire HD Android Development] jt_seven:
I can't install Visionary. If I open it in Astro, there aren't any information like name or lable. And there is an erro saying can't open as APK-file.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
