HELP! Strange problem... !!!!

Hello. My name is Mark, I'm Italian and I do not speak English well. I have followed with great interest your post and your tolls. I have a problem and I do not understand why ... I have a desire HD and the situation is this:

At first I had the original ROM, I used a visionary(root), I made "s easy-off"(not radio s-off), installed the recovery cwm, and flashed the rom with the HD revolution 1.9.2.

For various reasons I returned to the original ROM, I did it again the root, but for my surprise this time I could not put the 'S-OFF normal with "s easy-off. " then I tried your tool (both Version 1 and the 2), but I could not even with this. The problem is the windows program (with ALL tools) crashes, all the time. Moreover....Sometimes on my phone asking permission with Superuser, sometimes not. I have tried both with and with seven windows XP but crashes in every case in the middle of the procedure. I tried all possible combinations(also with wifi on, for try... -.-). Eventually I found a partial solution by installing the 'ENGBOOT "manually, with the help of terminal emulator, and doing the operations that you already know (up, sh sdcard / dhd / check, backup, hboot) and so I was able to install the engboot.

But now my problems are these:

1) Why the first few times I was able to install the various tools "s-off" without problems and now I always get stuck in the middle of the process? It can be a problem of "radio" damaged in some way?

Although I do not know how it happened because I never touched the radio, but it could be, what do you think? If it were a radio problem, how do I change it? because I saw that the radio you can download, the zipped file containing IMG.

2) How can I fix this problem of crash? Because in this situation I can not set your "RADIO OFF-S", but I can only put the ENGBOOT. What I do not understand is why before the various tools you can do with windows worked, and not now. I thought it was a problem with the operating system (windows) but is not so, I tried seven and xp. Every time I have to open the task manager and end the application manually.

I'll write some of my data, if you can help:

[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
I am on a phone right now, so I cannot check whether you are using new radio or not. If you are, that is the problem. Make sure your USB Debugging is enabled and you connect charge only. Also check that your SD is writable when connected to PC, use any Android file manager.

You should try original kernel, because that custom one has not been confirmed working.
[Desire HD Android Development] braby:
I used your tool with Buzz 1.1.4 installed without any issues...so now you can confirm it is working! :)

please help me guys...

i ve installed the ota updates till the last one... 1.702.405 or something like that .. and now i can t use visionary... but i want to root my DHD so much... how can i do that now...

is it possible to go back ?? please help...
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Please read some posts back, I explain it there. In short, cannot be rooted yet.
[Desire HD Android Development] remus1710:
:( thx mate u re doing a great job here... i ll wait till u smart guys find a way...

thx again :)
[Desire HD Android Development] ancola66:
"To go back to S-ON:

* Flash stock ROM (RUU)

* Temproot using Visionary

* Use my tool, do Stock CID and S-ON (enter brand CID if you had a branded device, see second post)

* Enjoy your factory-state phone"

I have a question need help :

a) Temproot using Visionary : only needed Temproot or Temproot then Permroot ?

b) Check in box Stock CID (enter brand CID) and press Do it ?

-or check in box Stock CID (enter brand CID) then check in box Radio S-On and last press Do it?

-or check in box Stock CID (enter brand CID) press Do it then check in box Radio S-On and press Do it?

Many thanks and sorry my bad English:)
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Only temproot is needed. Check in box Stock CID (enter brand CID) press Do it then check in box Radio S-On and press Do it.
[Desire HD Android Development] ancola66:
Many Thanks:)
[Desire HD Android Development] tmh:
Okay, after reading about this for days, I took the plunge and attempted to radio s-off my phone. It started doing it's thing, I got the su request on my phone and allowed it, but now the app has apparently froze up on "Syncing" and is listed as "Not responding" :( Haven't disconnected or pressed anything, what do I do now?

EDIT: I'm on stock 1.32.405.6 firmware, permrooted with VISIONary+, HTC Sync installed and ADB apparently working. USB debugging enabled and phone is still responding when I press the screen.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Try other SD, and check troubleshooting.
[Desire HD Android Development] tmh:
And nothing happens if I disconnect the phone and shut down the program, or? Just want to make sure I don't end up with a fancy paper weight, before I do anything :P And thanks for your lightning fast support!
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Yeah, you will be fine :)

This tool is safe to use, whatever happens.
[Desire HD Android Development] tmh:
Hmm, I think I'm missing the ADB driver or something. When I check in Control Panel, all I see is a driver named "My HTC". I tried deleting it, rebooted and reconnected. It then attempted to first install "ADB", but then re-installed the "My HTC"? I'm probably just being a dumbass or something, but I installed the HTC Sync that was on the microSD when I got the phone, so I reckon it should be the correct one, yeah?

But when I use the old Android SDK on my computer, I'm able to do "adb shell", list directories etc. from the phone?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Well, if adb shell works, the driver should be fine. Try running adb shell in the tool folder. I think the problem is probably in your SD card, plug your phone into a PC and try a file manager in your phone.
[Desire HD Android Development] tmh:
Well, so far so good then. How exactly do I test the sd card? I have ES File Explorer and when I connect the phone to PC (charge only, as it's supposed to), I can move files via wifi from PC to sdcard. Shouldn't it be r/w then? Or do I need to do stuff via ADB to test it instead?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
It seems to work.
[Desire HD Android Development] panyan:
yes, please clarify the first post with the differences and advantages or disadvantages of each please :)
[Desire HD Android Development] JonnyFoxtrot:
Ah well there you go, learn something new and all that :)
[Desire HD Android Development] mamoulian666:
The first post here explains it:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=856955

The HBOOT we've had for a little while is an 'engineering' HBOOT and so ignores the S-OFF flag which is set in the radio. This tool patches the flag in the radio so the standard HBOOT will be fine.

Not sure why flashing a RUU which contains the radio won't reset this flag back though?
[Desire HD Android Development] b8b9:
Good job !Very useful tool. Thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] rosswaa:
done :) not sure what its done but i did it haha

so does this simunlock the phone?
[Desire HD Android Development] nEUTRon666:
Do i get this right, if i restore the original partition and re-flash a official ruu my phone is stock again? Just want to make sure that i can go to stock, unrooted, s-on etc anytime ?!
[Desire HD Android Development] xmoo:
Yes!!! And as I already said, S-OFF in Radio sometimes is done by HTC Repair center...

And sometimes they forget to remove the S-OFF. Had this issue (well good issue :P) with my Girfriends HTC HERO
[Desire HD Android Development] b1gwest:
I stupidly formatted my SD card after running this tool, so I dont have a backup of my original radio. Does anyone know what it will have most likely been. (UK desire HD from vodafone)
[Desire HD Android Development] plopingo:
I'm already S-OFF and SimUnlock (bought Unlocked) but i need SuperCID

Can i use this tools ?

thanks !
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Yes you can, I can tried it myself.
[Desire HD Android Development] Caste23:
Hi all,

it's better to use "One click S-OFF" before this ?

thanks.

CaSte23
[Desire HD Android Development] plopingo:
Thx ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] JamesBarnes:
Nevermind, i misunderstood a previous post ^^
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
I would do the normal S-OFF first. That is if you really need both of them.
[Desire HD Android Development] mamoulian666:
Ah, that would make sense...

Although I've read that Wiki page and it just refers to 'radio' and 'partition 7', could you point me to the info please?
[Desire HD Android Development] panyan:
i used your tool and it worked successfully, to test it i went into the bootloader and went to system info, it has s-off and cid-11111111, i went to check if simunlock worked so i went to simlock on the bootloader, but it did nothing... i was trying it to see if it would confirm that it is unlocked...
[Desire HD Android Development] Marshall1975:
Hello

I think im missing something here. I have successfully got S-Off And CID to 1111111 and Clcokwork Mod Installed but when I try to install a custom ROM the phone rebots then I get a Black background with a phone in the middle and an exclamation mark. Not sure where to go from here. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] nEUTRon666:
I'm getting confused....why is the "normal" S-OFF better first? I really flashed my normal Desire a lot, but this stuff confuses me now :) I though doing Radio S-OFF also enables custom flashing of roms via clockworkmod recovery?! Why is the other S-OFF (Engineering SPL?) better first? Where is the disadvantage of Radio S-OFF ?
[Desire HD Android Development] tmh:
I tried "mount" from ADB, and got this info about /sdcard/:

Don't know if that clarifies anything? (And sadly I don't have another microSD to test with, btw.)

Edit: /system didn't need to be r/w for this, did it?

Yet another edit (frustration makes me forget things): I'm running Win 7 Ultimate x86, that should be fine, shouldn't it?
[Desire HD Android Development] acerkino88:
1) I already tried with the original ROM. When you reset to the original ROM (WWE), the radio and the kernel return the originals, right?

2) Sorry another question: i saw that the radio i can download (zip file) containing IMG. How do i install it?

3) And Kernels, how do install it?

Thanks ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
1. Yes they do.

2. You have to have ENG S-OFF, then put phone into bootloader fastboot and use command "fastboot flash radio C:\path\radio.img". You have to have android SDK or fastboot-windows.exe & dlls.

3. Via ClockworkMod or Kernel Update Utility, for Utility you need ENG S-OFF.

tmh: Yes, I am using W7 U64b. System does not have to be rw but it has helped for some people. I suspect the problem is in your drivers or SD. Try the things listed in troubleshooting again, also try this: power on phone with battery cover removed, plug to PC charge only, eject SD. Wait a moment and put SD back in, wait a bit more and try the tool. Also enable wifi.
[Desire HD Android Development] tmh:
Alright, here's my progress, if you can call it that :P

I successfully pushed a file from the s-off folder to sdcard via adb, so r/w access to sdcard is definitely there.

I tried removing the card and fitting it again.

Now, I've successfully run the tool twice, both with and without admin rights in Win 7, but when I check the bootloader afterwards, it's still S-On, and of course, no radio backup file in the root of the sdcard either :(

Edit: Oh yeah, I'm running an old version of SuperUser Permissions btw, which has installed itself to /system/app, so can't update it apparently. Could that have anything to do with it? I already granted "Unknown" su access when I first attempted to use this tool, just thought that an old SuperUser might not support your tool properly or something?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Might be anything at this point. Try running the manual method posted by Apache, and tell me what it says :)
[Desire HD Android Development] tmh:
You're a f...ing genius dude! "ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF", after running the manual method :D

Man, I've been tampering with this all day, and all it took, was another method lol. I'm flat broke right now, but I'll send some financial aid your way, once my account isn't in the red anymore. You truly are a legend good sir :)

(Wonder if I dare ENG HBOOT now lol)
[Desire HD Android Development] lord.farquaad:
Thanks guy !

Worked perfectly for me !
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Cool, that kind of feedback always makes me feel good :)
[Desire HD Android Development] 5hamz:
F*&%^ Brilliant!

this worked like a charm!

thanX

Donation

Would like to thank you for creating this tool and hope you can buy many beers with my donation :o (9VE514984V589740A)

Keep up the good work!!
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Thanks a lot!
[Desire HD Android Development] chinseng85:
i got question, i just formatted my sdcard, and i forgot to backup my part7backupxxxxx file... when im wanted to restore to stock ROM condition, can i use the backup file from other device, which i bought them together.

thanks.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
No need for any backup. It is made just in case. The tool can restore original condition without your backup.
[Desire HD Android Development] kobbe0:
Small question...

System requirements:

Desire HD with stock kernel (or Apache14's 1.0.7 / 1.1.4 Sense)

If I use 1.1.4 CM (not Sense), then I first need to downgrade to 1.0.7? Or is it "1.0.7 or later"?

Thanks!
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Well, the tool has not been confirmed working with 1.1.4 CM, you could try. Nobody has confirmed that it does not work with 1.1.4 CM. It is specifically the 1.0.7.
[Desire HD Android Development] napoli26:
sorry to ask, is it comfirm that samsung micro sd cant work for this?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Some Samsung cards are generally broken, more likely broken than other manufacturers' cards. My Samsung works ok, but a few people have had issues with them. If your card does not have mount issues (you can use file explorers in your phone while connected to PC charge only), it should be fine.
[Desire HD Android Development] napoli26:
when tap flash cwm in rom manager, is it need to connect to wi fi 1st?
[Desire HD Android Development] chinseng85:
thanks for the answer. may i know in what case i will need those part7 backup files?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Nope. Keep in mind that Rom manager has a bug, if CWM does not work the first time, just flash it again and it will work.

Never if everything goes well. If something goes horribly wrong when editing radio partition, which is highly unlikely, restoring the backup will fix all problems. I will then provide instructions on how to restore the backup file. The failure could happen if, for example, your battery runs out at just the right moment when you are running the tool.

It is just a precaution to make this tool as safe as possible.
[Desire HD Android Development] chinseng85:
oh i see. thanks for the explanation:)
[Desire HD Android Development] napoli26:
i gt a msg like this: error downloading from server, make sure you have a stable internet connection, and sd card is inserted and have free space

so is it a samsung sd card problem? what should i do to solve this problem? tq
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
I do not know about Rom manager, maybe you could try with wifi.
[Desire HD Android Development] grozni:
I have s-off:

Ace pvt ship s-off

I run first commad(usual) but my cid is stil HTC__032 not supercid.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Try running it again. Which radio, which system, which kernel?

And do you have system info in ship hboot, how did you check CID?
[Desire HD Android Development] grozni:
Kernel 2.6.21.21-gf3f553d htc-kernel

Software: 1.32.405.6

Radio: 26.03.02.26_M

I have eng hboot, cid check thru terminal emulator after phone reboot

dmesg|grep androidboot
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Okay, your system is compatible. Did you try running the tool again?
[Desire HD Android Development] grozni:
Yes, first time I got su warning. I confirmed SU. Second time no warning which is ok I guess. I've received finish message. Reboot, checked CID it's same HTC__032. Maybe I'm using wrong method to check CID
[Desire HD Android Development] kobbe0:
Oki, did try and had 1.1.0 kernel installed. Did run Easy Radio tool v2_1 with first option. Rebooted. Went into Fast bootloader / system info. It said CID-HTC__Y13.

Did run cwm and updated with zip: Buzz_1.0.7_OCUV.zip

Rebooted. Ran Easy Radio tool with option 1 again. Rebooted. Back to bootloader / system info. Still say CID-HTC__Y13.

----

I did have S-off since before (not radio s-off).

Fastboot menu say:

ACE PVT ENG S-OFF

HBOOT-0.85.2007

Radio 26.03.02.26_M

Using:

12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M

2.6.42.26_Buzz_1.0.7_OCUV

buzz@Hive#15

CyanogenMod 6.1.0 RC2

Did not get any su notifications when running easy radio tool.

Ideas? =)

Edit:

I just remembered i do not have Visionary anymore.

I got perm root with Visionary before flashing Cyanogenmod I guess it doesn't matter?

Works to write su i terminal emulator.

Edit 2:

Probably me stupied enough not realising the ADB drivers are missing :p

Edit 3:

Yeah, worked after installing drivers from HTC Sync :p

Thanks!
[Desire HD Android Development] acerkino88:
Help me please....

Thanks, you're a little big genius!!:D

My situation is this: I have the HD revolution rom 2.0.1 (with the original kernel)

I have eng s-off (done manually using the terminal emulator), radio s-off (done manually with the apache's method) and yesterday I put the radio 12.35a.60.140f_26.04.03.30_M. Everything works fine. I wanted to know one thing.

Since I do not the rapid methods, (your tolls unfortunately do not work with my desire :( ), then how do I manually reset the radio s-off (and CID) if i want in the future? Because eng boot resets automatically when I install the official rom, but to restore the radio s-off (and CID) I must use your tool, but I do not work, it crashes (I told you so already).

Should I do something similar to what I have done manually for set radio s-off?

(i have use this metod):

adb push gfree / data / local

adb shell

on

cd / data / local

chmod 777 gfree

. / gfree

sync

reboot

I do the reverse of this?

If yes, what should I change in the code written on?

Thanks again! :)
[Desire HD Android Development] tiphergane:
Does it can work on the HTC Desire ?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Well there is your problem :)

The tool does not work with new radios from 1.72 or higher HTC ROMs.

tiphergane: Sorry, only for HTC Desire HD.
[Desire HD Android Development] grozni:
Seems that I can't get supercid. Should I try Apache method?
[Desire HD Android Development] Restorer:
But is OK to flash these new radios once your radio s-off has been done isn't it ??
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Yes, that is right.

Grozni read troubleshooting, if nothing works, then manual. Make sure you have htc sync and 1.32 system + radio.
[Desire HD Android Development] grozni:
I've tried already things from troubleshooting. Htc Sync is installed, I've checked communication it is working. If I understanded correctly I should select charge only. What did you mean but 1.32 + radio? I have 1.32, but what about radio? How do you check CID? I have eng hboot
[Desire HD Android Development] remus1710:
can one of u tell me a predictive date or smth when we (those who upgrade it to 1.172 ota) can get root pls ...?!

thx:)
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
You can check cid from bootloader>system info. Is there a backup on your sd?

No eta on 1.72 root yet I am afraid..
[Desire HD Android Development] grozni:
I don't have system info. Only:

Fastboot

Recovery

Factory Reset

Simlock

Image CRC

I have part7backup. Couple of them since I used your tool more then once
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Weird, with eng hboot it should be there. Does it say eng s-off at the top?
[Desire HD Android Development] grozni:
No, on top it says Ace pvt ship s-off.

Hboot-0.85.0007
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Then you do not have engineering hboot, and you indeed are radio s-off :)

dmesg|grep androidboot does not tell the whole story, you have to use gfree_verify to check it if you really want to. But the fact that you got Radio S-OFF tells that the tool worked, and if you selected the first option, you have SuperCID now.

Of course you could pull the partition 7 using dd and check it using a hex editor manually, it contains your CID.
[Desire HD Android Development] grozni:
I've installed hboot. Now I have ENG s-off, system info says CID 11111111. I guess that's it;)
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Yep, so no problem after all :)

I am glad your phone is ok!
[Desire HD Android Development] chemita:
good they have said to me in another thread than what it spends to me to me is not normal. but good there is I put a photo so that you see it. the case is that 2 uses the method and I can use the fastboot. (to see the version of radio and system info) will it be my Hd as any of the normal desis??? (between them mine) that also allows me to put his everything???
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Hmm sorry I am not exactly sure what you are asking, but to analyze the picture, it seems normal. You have got Radio S-OFF, SuperCID and ENG S-OFF. You also have new radio, which disables the usage of this tool (lucky that you have Radio S-OFF already).

Radio S-OFF, SuperCID and ENG S-OFF (which you have) allow you to flash anything to the phone, and do whatever you want.
[Desire HD Android Development] chemita:
what I want to say is that with this method supposedly it is not possible to use fastboot. but I if I can. and they say that it is not possible to see the system info and since it appears in the photo if I can. my English is not very good I apologize
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
But you have engineering hboot, which is ENG S-OFF. With that it is possible to see System info, use fastboot, etc. :)
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
I uploaded a new version of this tool to the first post, it should help with debugging unsuccessful attempts.
[Desire HD Android Development] chemita:
ahhh thank you in that in the forum of Spain they were saying to me that as that possible age to use the fastboot with that. and I was saying that it is possible
