HTC drivers are not exactly rock solid in their installation, sometimes something just goes wrong in HTC Sync and it causes problems.
[Desire HD Android Development] dr4go:
Just wanted point out, that a new HTC Sync version came out on the 11th of January: Build 5511. Maybe it helps a few guys out there... I will also mention it in the HTC Desire Files Thread.

Here is the Download Link btw: http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=324&cat=3&dl_id=1073

hahahhaha true apple made my life miserable. :(
[Desire HD Android Development] xboxfan:
hi again...

in the bootloader i have the current information:

ace pvt eng s-off

hboot-0.85.2007 (pd9810000)

microp-0438

radio-26.03.02.26_m

eMMC-boot

cid-htc_304

Can i flash a new radio? Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_SF ?
[Desire HD Android Development] dr4go:
Additionally I would also perform Radio S-OFF with Super CID. But yes, you can flash a new radio also if you are just ENG S-OFF.
[Desire HD Android Development] xboxfan:
i cant use the one click tool. it always says unkown error, probably connection, but with bootloaders-off it works just fine..
[Desire HD Android Development] andywright1982:
why wpnt it let me download the tool in post 2?

everythime asks me to log in and then says i dont have permission:mad:
[Desire HD Android Development] destroman:
im not sure if i this work for me because of the kernel version. can someone please advise.

Kernel Version : 2.6.32.21

Build Number : 1.32.861.5

Software name : 1.32.861.5

Will this guide work for my fine or will i need to downgrade ?
[Desire HD Android Development] dr4go:
Ask more politely next time for a mirror... I won't upload it to some other place if you're being mad, because of such a little thing...

--> http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ACS9N2X9 <--
[Desire HD Android Development] dr4go:
It should work fine if you don't have a new Radio installed.
[Desire HD Android Development] dr4go:
Uninstall HTC Sync, reboot, download the new HTC Sync Tool (http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=324&cat=3&dl_id=1073), install it and reboot again. Try if it then works...

Remeber to have USB Debugging set to enabled and you are connecting with "Charge only".
[Desire HD Android Development] andywright182:
thanks dr4go. was meant to be a miserable rather than angry smiley.

it all worked correctly (phew) does this mean i have eng-s off as well or do I have to do something else to get this?

I am wanting to change the radio and dont want to try that before being sure eng-s off is on

bootloader shows

many thanks in advance
[Desire HD Android Development] dr4go:
No, in the first line it says "SHIP S-OFF", which means that you are just Radio S-OFF. If you want to be ENG S-OFF you need to (for example) use jkoljo's ENG S-OFF Tool too.
[Desire HD Android Development] sinu james:
i have gone through the exact steps in begining of this thread

how can i make sure the phone is rooted and ready for installing a custom rom ..?
[Desire HD Android Development] silashack:
Download terminal from the market

run it and at the prompt type

su

if it comes back as

#

Then your rooted :)

If you get permission denied then you are not rooted

BTW su stand for 'super user' in most cases ;-)
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Rooted yes, but S-OFF is a different thing. Rooting itself does not allow to flash roms, the phone needs to be S-OFF. It can be checked in bootloader, just read the first line. "ACE PVT SHIP/ENG S-OFF" lets you install roms.
[Desire HD Android Development] NL-Enclave:
I used the tool on the Android Revolution 2.0.5 ROM. I already had ENG S-OFF and ROOT. How do I know I have Radio S-OFF?

[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:

[Desire HD Android Development] NL-Enclave:
Oké thx :) me = happy
[Desire HD Android Development] dnlilas:
Where can I find System info? Under ClockWorkMod?
[Desire HD Android Development] NL-Enclave:
Its in the bootloader menu. Turn your phone on while holding volume down and select system info.
[Desire HD Android Development] Aaronh333:
Hey guys.

I'm about to do this to my DHD, what I need to know is, should I uncheck fastboot? Currentely it's checked but I don't know if this makes a difference at all.

Settings > Applications>Fastboot

Check or not?:)
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Does not make a difference. It is, however, easier to access the bootloader with fastboot disabled.

Enabled: reboot while holding volume-, OR shut down, rip out battery and then power up while holding vol-

Disabled: reboot while holding vol-, OR shut down and power up while holding vol-.
[Desire HD Android Development] Aaronh333:
Legend. Cheers.
[Desire HD Android Development] nteeb:
Is it possible to use this tool with Android Revolution 2.0.5, with the newest radio, flashed with only engHBOOT?

Or downgrade first needed to achieve Radio S-OFF???
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
You should at least downgrade the radio, but if you get unknown error after that, go to stock 1.32 rom.
[Desire HD Android Development] nteeb:
Thanks, gonna try it.:)
[Desire HD Android Development] geviron:
hello,

I have some issues here, I did everything on this tuto step by step nothing went wrong but when I take look on bootlader/systeme info I'm still CID : vod...

Could somebody help me?

Thanks.

Ps I already was ENG hboot S-Off
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Which radio do you have?
[Desire HD Android Development] geviron:
I have this one: 26.04.02.17
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Then no wonder it does not work, see the requirements. You have to put older radio to your phone.
[Desire HD Android Development] geviron:
Then on which one it does work?

thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
This one, this is from HTC WWE 1.32: 12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M

Hi, I don't if it is the right thread but I have one question:

Is there any method to backup and restore the original recovery system??

Sorry for my noob question...

Thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Refer to the FAQ link how to restore a backup. There are commands to restore original recovery.
[Desire HD Android Development] mhsc34:
thanks for the tuto
[Desire HD Android Development] lilil:
I read in a German forum that you have to type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" to flash original recovery system.

But you wrote that we have to type

"adb shell

su

getprop ro.cid

busybox dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21

sync"

Can we use the first one (with the fastboot) as well???

Thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" is only for ENG S-OFF devices, you can use dd with any S-OFF.

You do not have to use getprop ro.cid.
[Desire HD Android Development] lilil:
Let's say I have everything (ENG & Radio S-OFF, CWM, Root)

1. i would put the carier nandroid backup on the sd card and flash it

2. then i would restore the original recovery with "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (i have still eng s-off)

3. then i would make stock CID and Radio with your easy radio tool

4. restore the original bootloader to make ENG S-ON with "busybox dd if=/sdcard/hboot_original.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18"

5. last but not least i would make unroot with visionary and then uninstall visionary + superuser

6. finish

Is that guide correct or shall I swith points 3 and 4 ??

Thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Switch 3 and 4, otherwise sounds good :)

Remember to sync after dd.

e: by the way the result after dd will be "SHIP S-OFF".
[Desire HD Android Development] lilil:
OK thanks. So first restore original bootloader (ENG S-ON) and then make Stock CID and Radio S-ON. Thanks man, you saved my day.
[Desire HD Android Development] lilil:
So that means that the ENG S-OFF is not ovewritted by a restore of an Nandroid Backup?
[Desire HD Android Development] descenpet:
nandroid backup doesn't include H-BOOT so whatever H-BOOT you have will stay

hi mate

brought a desire HD today but it is locked to three network (uk) and three branded

your tool sounds amazing and exactly what i need as i cannot even play with my lovely new phone as i have an orange sim and want to de-brand the phone. I phoned three network and to unlock the phone it would cost £15 for some unlock codes :(

however i am a complete newbie so i have the following questions

1. this is the information on my phone. can you tell me if it is compatable?

baseband version 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M

Kernel version 2.6.32.21

build number 1.37.771.3 CL290190 release keys

software number 1.37.771.3

2. does my desire hd need a simcard in the phone while using the tool? hopefully not otherwise i will have to pick up a three simcard.

3. the only sd card i have is the samsung one that came with the phone. is this ok?

thanks for your help

much appreciated zio :)
[Desire HD Android Development] sucramco:
Everything working well for me except sim unlock. I have tried 3 different sim cards to no avail.

DHD was branded with T-mobile, used Goldcard to debrand.

ACE PVT Eng S-OFF

CID- 11111111

Above is correct.

Trawled over 40 pages, tried everything so far.

Any Ideas.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
1. It should work just fine

2. Nope

3. It works, however some Samsung cards tend to break, causing problems. The tool will complain about SD error if it does not work.

The CID and hboot info are correct, so the tool worked. You could try running the SimUnlock feature, to see if it helps.
[Desire HD Android Development] sucramco:
I did several times. I may try a newer sim card. From someone else.

Thanks anyway, without yours and some other Devs programs I would not be this far.

EDIT: Thanks again, they were old sim cards that were lying about, some still had credit but because they were unused for a while, became obselete. Tried the wife's sim and it worked flawless, (always something simple that stumps you).

So all I need now is a US sim card when I arrive in New York and that will work fine, yes?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Would you mind running the gfree manually? After you run the tool, go to adb shell and type:

Most probably it will not help your situation, but it will help us to find out what is the problem.
[Desire HD Android Development] sucramco:
Please see edited post, all was fine. My stupidity, didn't realise old PAYG ran out of time.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Ah, I see :D

Yeah, but keep in mind that Desire HD does not work in USA 3G network, only GSM as far as I know.
[Desire HD Android Development] ziotree:
thank you very much for the reply mate

you gave me all the answers i wanted to hear :)

going to attempt to run this in a little while so wish me luck :o
[Desire HD Android Development] Rakaan:

Just wanted to say thank you for creating this and help us all out. I've just tried your tool on my brand new HTC Desire HD and here are the results

Oct 11 2010, 12:47:02

My question is that I selected the first option of your tool which says Radio S-OFF, Super-CID and simUnlock.

I see S-OFF in the first line of the bootloader so guessing, it's done? Now how do I check SuperCID and simunlock feature? I dont see any system info in bootloader.

My software version is 1.40.61.2 and it's orange UK branded.

Thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
If you selected the first option and hboot turned to SHIP S-OFF, then you can be 100% sure that SuperCID and SimUnlock are also there. You can test SimUnlock with another sim card. SuperCID can only be checked using gfree_verify, but it is not really necessary.
[Desire HD Android Development] ziotree:
hi mate me again lol

i hooked up my desire hd to my computer (first time) and it says it couldnt find/failed to install something could ADB. do i need this? if so how and where do i get it?

also can you give me step by step how to install visionary on my desire hd?

is it just a simple case of hooking my desire hd to my computer and then copying the file over....i have downloaded the visionary file already to my computer?

sorry for the stupid questions but my first android phone and new to all this :)

thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Yes you need it, make sure that you have HTC Sync installed.

Just put the Visionary to your phone, download any file manager from market and tap Visionary.apk. Installer will run and Visionary will appear to your apps.
[Desire HD Android Development] ziotree:
so all i need to do is install HTC sync and i will have the ADB thing?

BTW thanks for the quick reply

im a student but once i have some spare cash ill make a donation if i can get this tool up and running

thanks mate :)
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Yes, HTC Sync comes with ADB drivers. The Radio tool comes with adb.exe and dll files needed for communications, so you do not need anything else. Just install HTC Sync and run Radio tool :)
[Desire HD Android Development] ziotree:
thanks mate for the quick replies. your a star

ill let you know how i get on.... hopefully no more questions :o

thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] nikolas18:
I rooted my DHD with visionary then did the Easy Root tool Radio S-OFF, Super CID, SimUnlock, but my CID still is still TMOB101. Tried to CID Stock CID but nothing. CID Getter App still tells me T-MOB101

What is wrong? I have the stock rom 1.32.405.6
[Desire HD Android Development] ziotree:
hi mate

i installed HTC sync and visionary no problem

opened visionary and tapped temproot, then attempt permroot

connected my phone and ran the radio tool on my computer.

when i click "do it" the following message comes up on my computer....

"unhandled exception has occured in your application. if you click continue the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. if you click quit the application will close immediately. the system cannot find the file specified".

what should i do mate

thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] Rakaan:
Thanks mate...you are a star. It's unlocked and can be used with any sim :D

Would I need to downgrade as per your thread here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=905003

if I want to install a generic rom to get rid of orange branding? And which one do you recommend to be used?

Much appreciate your help.
[Desire HD Android Development] ziotree:
i figured it out and now my desire HD is unlocked and my orange sim now works :)

however the device is still three branded?

how do i debrand the device? do i have to install one of the roms and then it will be debranded.

thanks again for your help and amazing tool.

much appreciated :)
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
That is normal, software CID does not change, only device CID changes. The device CID is what matters when flashing.

Did you extract the whole folder including adb.exe and dll files to one location?

You do not need to downgrade, but if you want a WWE rom, just put the PD98IMG.zip to your SD and reboot to bootloader.
[Desire HD Android Development] ziotree:
manged to fix it mate

i only extracted the radio exe and not all the files

just need to debrand the device now as its still three branded

how do i do this any idea

also what is the clockwork thing and how do i get it?

thanks

sorry for being a newbie but i am learning :)
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Check what I wrote to Rakaan, it should help you.

Clockworkmod is a tool that installs to your device, which you can use to install custom roms and mods, do backups etc. It can be installed via Rom manager, which you can get from market.
[Desire HD Android Development] jabok:
I'm confused! :confused:

I've spent quite a while digging around the various threads and guides but I can't seem to put it all together in my head.

I had the standard ROM, rooted with Visionary. I stupidly installed the 1.72 HTC update. I later followed the downgrade guide and am now on 1.32 again (re-rooted and with radio S-OFF obviously).

I liked the battery life I was getting in 1.72 (and no negative side-effects) so wanted to load a custom ROM (namely Revolution) based on that. Requirements for Revolution say "1. HTC Desire HD S-OFF ---> [GUIDE] How to root Desire HD (DHD) install h-boot (S-Off) and Clockwork recovery 2. Radio S-OFF in order to flash new radio" but the initial post in this guide says ""After running this tool, you can flash any ROM and kernel to your device using ClockworkMod. No bootloader S-OFF needed". Which is true!? Do I need to h-boot S-OFF as well, or not?

Also, the Revolution thread talks about flashing a new Radio to keep it in line with the ROM but again this thread says flashing a new Radio will get rid of Radio S-OFF.

Basically, what do I REALLY need to do from where I am, to where I want to get to!?

A lof of threads mention other things such as SuperCID but as Revolution doesn't mention it I assume it's not relevant to me?

Sorry for so many questions, as I said - I just can't fit all the jigsaw pieces together in my head! :eek:
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Okay, so you are now in a good situation. What you can do now is get yourself ENG S-OFF (using script method or my other tool), and then use Rom manager (get from Android market) to get ClockworkMod.

First of all, you do not need ENG (hboot) S-OFF to flash a ROM, any S-OFF will give you that permission. Then if you want to flash a radio, which I recommend, you need to have both S-OFFs, ENG and Radio S-OFF.

Where in the thread does it say that flashing a radio will remove Radio S-OFF?? This is definitely not true. Radio S-OFF can only be removed by using this same tool. HTC service center can of course remove it, but even OTA or HTC RUU does not remove it.

SuperCID comes with Radio S-OFF, and usually when people talk about Radio S-OFF, they mean that you also have SuperCID.

ENG S-OFF: hacked bootloader that kind of tricks your device that it is S-OFF. The ENG part refers to the bootloader type, engineering, which allows you to use more commands, for example flash a radio via command line.

Radio S-OFF: the real deal S-OFF, the way these devices are meant to be S-OFF. Original bootloader is not touched during the process, making it very safe. Because of the original bootloader you cannot use advanced command line commands in bootloader.

SuperCID: allows your device to accept any ROM from any carrier without complaining. Normally it is not possible to flash international ROM over branded ROM, but this allows it.
[Desire HD Android Development] ziotree:
hi mate just read all that

i want to download a rom in order to debrand my phone... was thinking of the leedroid one

so should i now do ENG_S-OFF as it says i should also "flash the radio"

all these terms are confusing but i need to understand what im doing as i dont want to break (brick) my new phone

thanks zio
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Flashing a radio is not mandatory, but it improves battery life and signal stability.

If you want to do it, you should now get ENG S-OFF.
[Desire HD Android Development] jabok:
Cheers Jkoljo!

I misunderstood the radio version thing. I thought where it was written - "It will not work on 1.72.405.3 or higher build, or new radio." that if you flashed a newer radio it would break it. But I understand now - once it's done, it's permanent unless removed by choice with your tool, even if you put on a new radio.

I have a better idea now of how things fit together, thank you. :)
[Desire HD Android Development] ziotree:
thanks mate

whats the best and easiest way to get ENG S-OFF?

I already got Radio S_OFF, Super-CID and Sim unlock from your amazing tool

thanks zio
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Well, my S-OFF tool in my signature is pretty easy :)
[Desire HD Android Development] ziotree:
thanks jkoljo

I owe you more than 1 drink

one last question is S-OFF the same as ENG S-OFF?

thanks zio
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Radio S-OFF and ENG S-OFF are both S-OFFs, the difference is that Radio S-OFF sticks better and ENG S-OFF allows you to do more because of the "ENG" part.
[Desire HD Android Development] ziotree:
ohh dear.

i did your one click S-Off following the instructions

now the following message comes on my phone repeatedly

"sorry. the process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. please try again"

worried now :(
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Reboot = fix :)

I wrote it in the first post, too.. Just do not panic, it is normal.
[Desire HD Android Development] ziotree:
phew. thought i done some damage there

seems to be working now with no force continue thing :)

so just to confirm do i have ENG S-OFF and Radio S-OFF now or is it impossible to have both as one overwrites the other.

thanks very very much for all your help mate

much appreciated
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
You have both now, it is impossible for them to overwrite one other. :)
[Desire HD Android Development] ziotree:
thanks mate your brilliant

i promise you when i get some funds ill donate to you

just out of curiosity can i delete any of the files on my sd card?

i used both your tools radio s-off, sim unlock and the one click s-off

thanks zio
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Yeah you can delete most of them, but keep hboot_original.bin and partition7 backup.
[Desire HD Android Development] timbermantwo:
jkoljo

Hope you can give some info.

I Downgraded Rooted and used the tool from this tread to s-off. Installed clockworkMod and changed rom.

Later on if i want to go back to Stock Rom.

Should i use the Drowngrade zip file "stock 1.32 PD98IMG.zip" or RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.6_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155891_signed.exe ??

The temproot and use the tool again to s-on and the stock CID.

Should i use the HTC-001 or the HTC-Y13 i got out from the use of cmd?

i'm so sure i missed something....

regards
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Those ROMs are pretty much the same thing, so flip a coin to decide :D

Use HTC__Y13, otherwise if you send your phone to a repair center, they might become suspicious.
[Desire HD Android Development] timbermantwo:
Ok thanks jkoljo one thing more for now atleast.

When i do the stock rom, does everything become deleted including the ClockWorkMod and other things...????

i other words it become like it was in the box when it was new..??

If it's like that not much to worry about then.

Best Regards
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Everything else will be completely stock, but Radio S-OFF and SuperCID will remain. You can get rid of those by temprooting and running this tool like instructed in the first post.
[Desire HD Android Development] steveohan:
so i'm running a cm7 gingerbread rom on my device.

is it safe to flash radio s-off with this??
[Desire HD Android Development] dr4go:
Safe... yes, but it won't work. ;) You need CM6 or another ROM with 1.3x.x and HTC Stock kernel for it to work. Also be sure, that you are using a Radio version 26.03.x! Otherwise it won't work out either...
[Desire HD Android Development] AndyCr15:
I did S-Off the hard way, when the DHD first came out. I now have 1.32.405.3 after downgrading.

I run this tool, I don't get any errors, but it still just says ENG S-Off in the bootloader.

On the SD card is a 'part7backup-....bin' which is 2 meg in size.

I've tried it 2 or 3 times. Super one and regular S-Off (in the tool)

Any ideas on what is not working?

**EDIT** My bad, when I go to System Info in Bootloader it says CID is 11111111, I missed that. I'm done. :)
[Desire HD Android Development] dr4go:
You won't see anything in the first line if you are already ENG S-OFF. But you can check it if you go into BootLoader -> System Information. Then look at the CID: If there is written "11111111" it means, that it had worked.
