In order for fastboot to write the radio using the "fastboot flash radio radio.img" command, you need to put the radio.img in the SDK tools folder :) Otherwise, you'll probably have to point fastboot to where the radio is, for example c:\radio.

Edit: Damnit, too slow this time lol
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Yeah, donation links at first post & in my every post "donate to me" :)

Much appreciated!
[Desire HD Android Development] ixinho:
it works, i'm on 12.35a radio now :))))

thank you both : tmh and jkoljo, im willing to donate you :) pm me with paypal
[Desire HD Android Development] tmh:
Thanks, but no thanks, I don't want donations, as I've just hogged 50% of jkoljo's online time during the last 2 days :D So if you want to do something, donate a little more to him, he surely deserves it :)
[Desire HD Android Development] angerfist2009:
Seem to be having a problem using this i followed the steps from start i already have my phone perm rooted.

When i pick first option and click do it a box puts up with htc desire hd radio tool by jkoljo on top. A red circe with white x then the following.

Unhandled exception has occured in your application. If you click continue the appication will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click quit the application will close.

The system cannot find the file specifed.

Underneath this is a big list of things under ****************Exception Test***********

When i click continue the tool loads half way then freezes and does nothing.

I have htc sync installed i have the 1.32 radio and debug enabled i followed everything i could understand from your second post so i really have no idea at this stage.

Ok i fixed the problem and got the tool to work only problem my phone not free of simlock I am still stuck with the Vodafone Ireland network. It tells me in bootloader mode I have s-off why did sim unlock not work?

Thanks for this tool by the way :-)
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Please try it again, you could also test the simunlock feature.
[Desire HD Android Development] SAPPH1RE:
Successfully radio s-off mine.. tomorrow gonna do hboot s-off.. ur tools rocks.. thx a lot...
[Desire HD Android Development] txus.ballesteros:
Thank you very much for your Job.
[Desire HD Android Development] vyruzj:
S-On back

I have formatted my sdcard and i forgot to make a copy of the phone partition 7. Am i able to revert back to S-ON without the phone partition 7?
[Desire HD Android Development] angerfist2009:
Ok sorted the little problem i had all good. Just applied the simunlock option by it self and able to use other sim s now.

Thanks so much saved me fair bit of money here!!!! :D
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Yes, it is possible. Partition 7 backup is only needed if something goes horribly wrong, nobody has needed it yet and the tool has been downloaded thousands of times :)
[Desire HD Android Development] Scottomus0:
ive really messed my phone up!

its stuck in boot loop, ive got the part 7 backup on my sd card but i cant get to it in recovery as its not a zip file.

what do i do?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
What did you do?
[Desire HD Android Development] duishui:
hi

i did the flow that you said.

it seems work and successful

but i dont know how to verify whether my HD is s-off

Please tell me the measures

thank you !
[Desire HD Android Development] vyruzj:
Thanks!

Thanks jkoljo, i thought i was a goner when i did not backup the P7... lol.
[Desire HD Android Development] tmh:
Reboot your phone, holding the "volume down" button, this will take you to the bootloader and the top of the bootloader, it should now say S-Off :)
[Desire HD Android Development] duishui:
Thank you!!!!

Thank you very much!!!!

The information is showing now is as below(i dont know screen print):

ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF

HBOOT-0.85.007

MICROP-0438

RADIO-26.03.02.26_M

eMMC-BOOT

OCT 11 2010, 12:47:02

HBOOT

FASTBOOT

RECOVERY

FACTORY RESET

SIMLOCK

IMAGE CRC

So, is these info meaning that my phone has been s-off ? and available for flashing the rom from the third party?

is there any tuitors to guide me how to flash the rom? cuz, all what i can get are the steps after manually s-off by other software instead of this one.
[Desire HD Android Development] vyruzj:
Instructions are provide on the ROMs page, basically the approach is:

Perform a backup of your current ROMS

Format boot, system, etc

wipe data cache, etc

install from zip (<your_rom_name.zip>

voila!
[Desire HD Android Development] duishui:
Thank you!!!

but is my phone available for flashing the rom in according to the info i gave?

and after doing the steps, my phone can not download the mms. will this software affect or modify the mms function or settings?
[Desire HD Android Development] tmh:
It should be yeah. Do note though, that if the ROM comes with a new radio or recommends flashing a new radio, you'll need to install that via fastboot, and to use fastboot commands, you'll need the engineering hboot as well ("old" S-Off, if you will).

Oh yeah, and in order to flash a new ROM, you'll need ClockWorkMod ROM Manager (free on Market). That will allow you to install the custom recovery, from which you can perform full backups, restores, flash ROMs, etc.
[Desire HD Android Development] dexta211:
If i were to run this tool, would the SimUnlock be permanent?

Many Thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] mariosraptor:
when i go into system info in bootloader it tells me the htc_n34

and it even tells me that i have os 1.32 but i have 1.72 modaco.

i have ENG-s-off and i can write radio if i upgrade but do not know if i can downgrade.

i am a bit confused with this tool:confused:
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
SimUnlock will be yes.

You are not SuperCID (CID 11111111), so it is not recommended to flash a new radio. Just use the tool, then you can safely flash a new radio.
[Desire HD Android Development] lilil:
Hi, I would like to change my CID into HTC__102 (HTC Germany) to get OTA Updates.

Is it enough to make Temproot and then to change the CID directly to HTC__102 or is Radio S-OFF needed?

If I update my device to 1.72.405.3 via OTA, can I downgrade back to 1.32.405.6 if I have Radio S-OFF, CID HTC_102 but no Root?

Thanks for answering my stupid questions.

BTW Thank you very much for your tool, it is realy great!
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Currently changing CID for OTA purpose is not possible, as your device actually does not send the CID to HTC servers, it sends a static CID stored somewhere in device memory.

It is possible to use the tool without permanent root, temproot is enough.

If I wanted to have full stock 1.72, I would do Radio S-OFF and SuperCID, then just flash the RUU. Radio S-OFF will remain intact, and give you the possibility to downgrade. There are of course custom roms, which are much better than stock..
[Desire HD Android Development] lilil:
Hi, actually it is possible to make OTA Updates by changing the CID.

In a German Forum many people couldn't get the OTA Update. So they changed their CID into HTC__102 (which stands for HTC Germany) and now they can make OTA Updates.

So would it be possible to downgrade back to 1.32.405.6 with having only Radio S-OFF (root isn't possible yet for 1.72.405.3 and CID is HTC__102)??
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Oh, maybe it then depends on the device. I am using HTC__001 device so I really cannot test it..

It is possible to downgrade back to 1.32 with Radio S-OFF and SuperCID, but with stock CID (or any HTC CID) it is not possible.
[Desire HD Android Development] lilil:
Yes I know that but what is if the CID is HTC_102?

You said that your tool doesn't work with 1.72.405.3 devices so we couldn't chage the CID into a SuperCID.

Is a downgrade possible with having only Radio S-OFF???
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Downgrade is only possible with SuperCID, the whole point of it is actually that you can downgrade and flash anything you want without the device complaining about version numbers.
[Desire HD Android Development] lilil:
OK but I had a Vodafone Germany Branding on my DHD which had the Firmware 1.39...I could downgrade to 1.32.405.3 by having Root and ENG S-OFF.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Yes it is possible, but 1.72 has new hboot and to downgrade hboot you need SuperCID.
[Desire HD Android Development] mohit1234:
hmmmm

just tried ur tool

my CID is now 11111111

but my bootloader still says ACE PVT ENG S-OFF

tried ur tool twice...no effect

btw my os version is 1.32.405.6

wat do i do?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Well what do you want to do? ;)

It worked, CID 11111111 reveals that. As you already had S-OFF, that of course will not change no matter how many times you run the tool. Btw that is also in the FAQ.

ENG and SHIP tags are types of bootloader, that changes when you do ENG S-OFF (obviously). Radio S-OFF in otherwise stock device would turn S-ON to S-OFF, but as you already had S-OFF, nothing changed in that line.
[Desire HD Android Development] mohit1234:
oh ok

i already had eng s-off

i wanted radio s-off

i thought tht radio s-off wud change ENG S-OFF to SHIP S-OFF.. my bad.. :P

anyways thanks a lot!! :D

GREAT TOOL!!
[Desire HD Android Development] A|ex:
backup file is on the sd but the RAdio-OFF doesnt seem to work

-------

UPDATE: Ok figured it out, even though i had S-OFF and perm root, i reapplied the S-OFF then radio-off and it has now worked. Very strange
[Desire HD Android Development] msoleil:
user of 1.72.405.3 :mad:
[Desire HD Android Development] capychimp:
ok can anyone just clear it simple, i have 1.32 so if i do radio s-off and flash new radio,, the radio is still s-off, and i can revert back?

so once radio s-off it is always that unless i run the tool to put it s on?
[Desire HD Android Development] tmh:
You've got it right :) Do note that you need eng hboot as well, if you want to flash radios as it's needed to use fastboot commands.

But yes, once you're S-Off, it won't revert unless you do it yourself.
[Desire HD Android Development] capychimp:
thx man, jus so much writing about it, wanted to be sure before messing with radios ;)

takker
[Desire HD Android Development] afrcom15:
Confirmed, exactly that tmh said
[Desire HD Android Development] jbouv55151:
No network

Hi all !

I have done what it's said in the topic but now I have no more network on my phone. When I start, it asks for the PIN, and then it doesn't connect to the network. Before the problem was also for Wifi but I changed ROM and now Wifi works.

Does anyboday has the same problem ? How can I fix it ?
[Desire HD Android Development] capychimp:
try add your apn manualy in mobile network settings
[Desire HD Android Development] jbouv55151:
No network

Thanks for your feed back. I have no network at all. I can't make a call. Can it be caused by my radio version ?
[Desire HD Android Development] capychimp:
oh your phone signal is gone, damn, i dunno then, never tried that apn is only data
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Try rebooting your phone. Also try putting airplane mode on and off. Maybe the problem is in the ROM, I have had some problems with old Android Revolution ROMs, but I have to say the latest 2.0.2 works beautifully. Try the stock rom?
[Desire HD Android Development] .Beholder.:
Anybody news about 1.72 hacking progress?:o
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
If something goes wrong, it is good to have the eng bootloader in your phone first, because it allows you to recover from the weirdest problems.

You really do not need both of them. Radio s-off allows you to flash happily, but the eng hboot allows also useful flashing and system control via bootloader itself.
[Desire HD Android Development] Marshall1975:
Hello

Anyone have any advice for my previous post. Black screen with phone pic and exclamation mark. Desperate to install a custom rom. Come from an HD2 so a little new to this.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
It has been said a few times that Rom manager/cwm has some kind of a bug that makes you have to flash it two times.
[Desire HD Android Development] Marshall1975:
Hello

I did read back and find the info and funny old thing it worked after flashing again. Thanks for your time and sorry for not reading the post properly.
[Desire HD Android Development] nEUTRon666:
Ahh ok..thanks, that made it clear, understood :)
[Desire HD Android Development] xmoo:
You on shipped spl or eng spl??
[Desire HD Android Development] he_stheone64:
Thx for the great tool - in my environment theoretically it worked, success was reported, but after checking I still have the old TMOB CID.

Setup:

1.32.405.6 - Revolution HD ROM

Buzz 1.08 Kernel (like 1.07 based on CM)

already HBoot S-Off

I will nandroid back on stock anyway and test from there...

Done - it worked smoothly on Stock ROM - CID 11111111

Thx
[Desire HD Android Development] O_G:
Hi

I have just had a exchanged phone from vodafone. my first was a unbranded unlocked phone, but the replacement is a locked vodafone branded one.

I am not interested in any custom roms just to install the stock one and unbrand and unlock my phone. Will this do the trick? or would it be better to use your other tool (eng spl)

The main thing i am worried about is removing the s-off if i need to return my phone to vodafone. I am not fussed about returning the branding or simunlock because the first phone was stock so i doubt they would know the difference.

Members have said it is possible to remove the s-off, but it is unclear exactly how it is done. Sorry if these are stupid questions i am new to android and still learning.

Thanks for a great tool!!

Edit: I have tried the goldcard method as i did with my old hd2, but it did not work. i get the wrong customer id error.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Well, this radio S-OFF disables version checking, so you can install stock RUU safely. Removal can also be done relatively easy, a method for that is coming up :)
[Desire HD Android Development] dekela:
I have no idea why its not working for me

Hi.

I have been trying yo get my DHD rooted and ready for rom installation but seem to fail all the times.

I install Visionary and follow the steps.I believe I do have root as I get the skull icon and request for root permissions.

I installed your tool and tried it on my Windows XP SP2.

It asked for root permission and I gave it.

The app seems to run without and advance for 10 minutes and then I noticed the app is frozen.

Now I installed Rom Manager and flash the recovery twice if not more.

When I try to reboot into recovery I get the Black Phone with Exclamation Mark.

Please tell me what is wrong.

My Kernel is a Stock Vodafone AU rom : 2.6.32.21-g66cfb7a build: 1.32.178.5

Thanks,

Dekel
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Are you sure you have HTC Sync installed, USB Debugging enabled, newest .NET installed etc? What does it say above the progress bar?
[Desire HD Android Development] xmoo:
How is the revert back to stock thing going??
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
You'll have to ask Apache14, he is working on it. I can, however, upload you a temporary way of doing it. It requires a custom kernel flash and some adb shell/terminal commands.
[Desire HD Android Development] iivanovic:
Hello guys!

Sorry for probably dump question, but I just need to ask:

Steps which were described in this thread will unlock a phone, I'll be able to use any sim card?

SFR ROM > Custom ROM : root/radio s-off/unlock etc..

Hi,

I would like to know if it's possible to "" One click Radio S-OFF, Supercid and Simunlock " my brand new Desire HD with an awful SFR ROM. I know that it's only possisble with a apach14 1.0.7 kernel or stock HTC kernel ? Does my SFR ROM have a stock Kernel ?

OR do I have to root it, s-off it, install ROM manager and then install a STOCK ROM. AND only Radio S-off it ?

I am using the Orange network, that's why it's very important for me to get the phone SimUnlock and so the radio s-off...don't want to pay around 25euros to do it.

Thanks a lot for your help.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
It should use the stock kernel. You could always try my tool, it does not break anything if it does not work, it simply does not do anything.
[Desire HD Android Development] frezd:
Thanks for your quick answer, I will give a try.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Not yet, there are some approaches people are investigating, but nothing groundbreaking yet. The FAQ has a link to short explanation of current things, if you did not read that already :)
[Desire HD Android Development] gominolo2002:

[Desire HD Android Development] mariosraptor:
yes you are right but the programm created this in my cards directory.

part7backup-1293800295.bin

You are not SuperCID (CID 11111111), so it is not recommended to flash a new radio. Just use the tool, then you can safely flash a new radio.[/QUOTE]
[Desire HD Android Development] capychimp:
how do i know it worked with radio s-off?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
If you had ENG S-OFF, then bootloader>system info CID changed to 11111111. If you did not have any S-OFF before, the bootloader's first line changed to ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF instead of S-ON.
[Desire HD Android Development] mariosraptor:
if you have ENG s-off you are supposed to see CID_1111111 in bootloader info. but i am not seeing it and the program reports that it succeeded. i have ENG s-off i have succesfully flashed a radio but never tried to see if i can downgrade. LOL
[Desire HD Android Development] capychimp:
so i do have to change cid too? i cannot just radio s-off?

was eng d-off allready
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
You can do only Radio S-OFF, but there is no point in that. If you want the free ticket to downgrade some day, you also need SuperCID.
[Desire HD Android Development] mariosraptor:
from my understanding cid changes automatically to 1111111 when you select the first option.
[Desire HD Android Development] capychimp:
i figured as much, and worked like a charm :)
[Desire HD Android Development] capychimp:
i first selected second option ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] mariosraptor:
ok. i will select second one also and report in afew minutes:D
[Desire HD Android Development] mariosraptor:
now i am getting "unknown error, probably connection" in what ever i choose.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Make sure you are using 1.32 or 1.32 based rom, 1.32 rom radio and you have HTC Sync installed & USB Debugging enabled.
[Desire HD Android Development] mariosraptor:
why didn't you say so. i have LeeDrid's 1.72. lol. thanks i will try right away. reverting to nandroid
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Do not forget to revert radio, also :)

It has to be done separately.
[Desire HD Android Development] mariosraptor:
ok. it seems that somehow i was already radio s-off+ENG s-off because i just downgraded my radio from this Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2

to this Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M.

now i will try to obtain supercid.

Edit: still no luck. 1.32 base(revo HD 1.9.3), 1.0.7 kernel, 132 radio. always connection problem. i have radio s-off + ENG s-off but wanted supercid also.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Did you try it with wifi enabled, and do you have HTC Sync installed and USB Debugging enabled?
[Desire HD Android Development] mariosraptor:
Everything was enabled as they should have been.

Sent from my LeeDroided Desire HD:-)
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Then please check what the manual method by Apache says :)
[Desire HD Android Development] JD82:
Maybe it's already been answered in the previous 60 pages, however, they are too many to read and I found nothing in the FAQ:

I have already flashed the HBOOT S-OFF, installed the CM6.1.3, and updated the radio to version 26.04.02.17_M2.

To get this tool working should I just downgrade the radio to 26.03.02.26_M? In other words, to get Radio S-OFF with this tool can I stay with the CM or should i have to restore the whole Sense ROM?

PS

Pay no attention to my signature
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
You should be able to run it on CM if you have the right kernel (see requirements). You need to downgrade the radio. If you get connection error, you need to come back to Sense rom.
[Desire HD Android Development] JD82:
Thanks for the reply.

I have read the requirements:

I am not sure if I have to flash one of the two kernels given in brackets or if it could also work with the default Cyanogen kernel.

I wait a day if someone had the answer to this question :)
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Someone might have tried it, yes, but I would just flash the 1.1.4 CM and give it a shot :)
[Desire HD Android Development] starbase64:
Hi jkoljo,

my dhd (Android 2.2.1) have eng-s-off, root and supercid (in bootloader).

But getprop ro.cid says HTC__102. How can i change to 11111111 or HTC__001?

Easy Tool 2.2 has no errors, but can not change the cid.

I retry with terminal and adb, but nothing works.

What can i do?

with friendly greet

starbase64
[Desire HD Android Development] dr4go:
You can't. getprop ro.cid will always echo out your stock CID, which is HTC__102. If you have a CID of 11111111 in the bootloader, you are fine (i.e. super cid).
[Desire HD Android Development] JD82:
OK, all done :)

As suggested in this thread I flashed the Buzz_1.0.7_OC+ kernel over the CM6.1.3.

You can grab the kernel here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ROV41ABF
[Desire HD Android Development] Wegener22:
..this was exactly my problem. ERT 2.2 closed with success but getprop ro.cid remaines (in my case O2_102). Then I tried several times with

the older Radio-S-Off tool and, after foolish flashing to 1.72, suddenly, my ro.cid is HTC__002!

Really! WTF? I lost the possibility to flash back to 1.32. Neither older RUUs nor Goldcard efforts were successful. Has anybody else such a

strange problem? Bootloader ist Ship S-OFF.

Cheers,

Steve
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
1.72 cannot change your device CID, it might only change ro.cid. Take rom.zip from the 1.32 RUU, and flash it in fastboot.

And as stated many many times, ro.cid does not tell you the correct device CID.
[Desire HD Android Development] Wegener22:
Are fastboot commands possible under 1.72? My f*** HTC_002 ro.cid is preventing

a downgrade from 1.72-1.32 (according to the RUU-logs).
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
That is why you will take the rom.zip as I instructed (start RUU, it appears to your computer's temp folder), and flash it via bootloader. Rename it to PD98IMG.zip and put it to SD, then go to bootloader.

Fastboot commands are not possible, but I am not asking you to use them.
[Desire HD Android Development] A3eeXy:
Hi,

is there any new info about 1.7x hacking?
[Desire HD Android Development] Wegener22:
Thanks, but didn't work. HBOOT Message: CID incorrect! Update Fail.

This damned HTC__002 Cid (which doesn't exist).

Steve
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Then you probably did only S-OFF with this tool, not SuperCID. But I see that you reported that it worked in other thread, good.

hello i had root and s-off whith this tool.

i got s-on whit the standard cid and updated to 1.72 and now when i try to hard reset i cant select my norwegian language on setup.... is that because of wrong cid??

I highly doubt it, language selection is totally independent on CID.
