[Desire HD Android Development] XBOCT:
Here is my way to rooted 1.72:

Initial state: T-mobile SIM-unlocked 1.39.111.1

1. Visionary (temp root -> perm root)

2. One Click S-OFF http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php? attachmentid=463286&d=1292255056 (radio S-OFF + supedCID)

3. ClockWorkMod Recovery (ROM Manager from market)

4. RUU update to unbranded RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.6

5. Again 1,2,3 (Visionary, S-OFF, CWM)

way 1.32 -> 1.72

6. 1.72 via hboot http://www.megaupload.com/?d=6C50CO0B (source:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9960426&postcount=155)

boot to 1.72 system

delete PD98IMG.zip from sdcard

7. SU package http://rapidshare.com/files/438729922/gfree_root.zip (found in rusian forum)

unpack files to SDCARD

boot to CWM

(DHD CWM menu) mount /sytem

(DHD CWM menu) mount /sdcard

(PC) adm shell

# cp /sdcard/su /system/bin/

# cp /sdcard/Superuser.apk /system/app/

# ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su

# chmod 06555 /system/bin/su

# exit

(DHD CWM menu) umount /sytem

(DHD CWM menu) umount /sdcard

reboot

8. BusyBox from market

Now my DHD is running 1.72 and rooted. All my attempts to update

radio.img are failed.

su from package su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip mentioned by cattleprod

don't work in my HD (process closes).

[Desire HD Android Development] nednapalm:
I couldn't get this to work, did you do anything different?

*EDIT* This is working now, weird as it didn't when I first flashed the ROM.... perhaps M$ changed something?

**EDIT#2** Keeps syncing the inbox over and over and is now failing with a key exchange, removed and now cannot re-add, get the "please try again later" message. Anyone got this working reliably?
[Desire HD Android Development] El_Nino9:
mike, you will probably add it to your android revolution hd probably won't you?meaning custom kernel? and many more tweaks?

i have the system.img but have not deoxed it yet. i flashed it with the old kernel and radio. to be exact i used 2.6.32.21 htc kernel that kendon added adb to so i can adb remount. the new kernel is fine if you don't use that. i did change the wifi driver, in the libs module folder. i could see networks but it won't connect. not an issue if you kept the original files. but i beleive thats to do with the radio too.

i used baseband version 26.03.02.26_M (the old one) and not the one provided in the RUU. i just don't know if i want to lose radio s-off by flashing another radio just yet :) even thought i could revert to old radio as i have old eng spl.

i have no SU issues at all. it does not f.c.

as i didnt change the radio i had 1 big issue, the person on the other side of the call could never here me LOL

2.2.1 is slightly faster and like the guys said the htc mail app works with hotmail using exchange
[Desire HD Android Development] lukesky:
hi jkoljo, from stock rom, i flashed your Radio S Off tool but I chose the 2nd option, which is just Radio S Off only and after flashing, I remember seeing that I had S Off in the bootloader, but I can't remember was it SHIP or ENG.

Then because I wanted to use your Kernel flashing tool, I flashed your Easy S Off tool to install eng hboot to get fastboot.

So now my bootloader shows ENG S-OFF but my CID is not showing CID 11111111 (I guess it's because I didn't do the SuperCID) but it's showing HTC_XXX.

So can I confirm that I have both ENG and SHIP S Off?

any chance to root again on 1.72

:confused:

Hi all, have one question.

you see a way to root again my device? before i flash the 1.72 have 1.32.405.6, eng s-off and perm root.

after that im in ship s-on and it makes me really unhappy.

My aka is totally unbranded. this are the actually specifics:

Vers.: Froyo 2.2.1

Baseband: 12.28e.60.140fU_26.04.02.17_M2

Kernel: 2.6.32.21-g3d0aaff htc-kernel@and18-2 #1

Build No.: 1.72.405.3 CL296490 relaese-keys

have no cwm more and dont get r14 to run. with other words :

feel a little helpless at time.

does anybody see a chance to root again my device?
[Desire HD Android Development] simmeone:
The same here, but this is not the worry for me. I need german-language. Is it possible to to install other languages later without root?
[Desire HD Android Development] he_stheone64:
Not on this ROM, if you did not have Radio S-Off BEFORE you flashed this ROM and ignored the warnings here at XDA.

But why don`t you flash your original RUU and start from there with Root, HBoot and Radio S-Off. Then it will be much easier for you with a return ticket. In any case it seems that Mike will have his Revolution HD based on 1.72 up and running in a few days anyway.
[Desire HD Android Development] malik1:
I have a similar problem. OpenVPN does not work without root. Is there any solution to the rom. DHD is so useless for me to work.
[Desire HD Android Development] afrcom15:
Nope, I'm pretty sure that if he does not have radio S-OFF he cannot downgrade to the 1.32.xxx from where he is.

Stuck until someone waves the magic wand over it. May not be possible even then unless the new hboot with this is cracked.

Besides there's an entire bloody thread on not flashing this unless you have radio S-OFF.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=879525
[Desire HD Android Development] moorb:
I think the rom is multilangugage! In Install it ask me wich language i wont!Why you got an only english version?

And why youre not worry about this rom? you are root on it? if you got a solution for that let me know.

by the way... im german too. If you want we can have conversation in german, but not in an english forum.
[Desire HD Android Development] moorb:
sure you're right, cant downgrade to 1.32. so the only way is to wait you tell, yes?

ok i just had to re-read the whole thread to try and understand the situation

can someone please answer if i understood correctly

- If i have radio S-OFF, i can flash using the mentioned method and have root, but i can't have the new radio

- If i have ENG S-Off, i can flash it as well as the new radio but it will crash on SU and won't have wifi

also i didn't understand will wifi still work using the radio s-off method?
[Desire HD Android Development] afrcom15:
You really need to re-read it.
[Desire HD Android Development] hamdir:
seriously? thanks a lot

it's obvious im struggling to understand, instead of sarcasm can you please summarize the situation?

thx again
[Desire HD Android Development] hamdir:
why some people are reporting its working for them via the kamma method

can someone please explain besides afrcom15 :)
[Desire HD Android Development] segelfreund:
I don´t if i´ve been right here.

But if anyone interessed in the OTA-Files here there are.

[Desire HD Android Development] onesolo:
Does the R2 means that the OTA update is more recent and better that the leaked RUU firmware??
[Desire HD Android Development] afrcom15:
Wasn't being sarcastic mate, at work at the time and didn't really have time to answer individually.
[Desire HD Android Development] hamdir:
thanks finally its cleared :)

at this point i'm considering of getting radio s-off and then apply the new R2 OTA, this way i can always go back

would that work? and sorry to ask again WIF some people are reporting no WIF? is it because of a trying to get root?
[Desire HD Android Development] afrcom15:
I would strongly recommend you get radio S-OFF anyway.

i've flashed this rom about 4 times in various attempts to gain root access, no wifi issues whatsoever. I think it's a problem when it's being unpacked, picked apart and repacked with elements from both roms
[Desire HD Android Development] hamdir:
ok one last question, i have eng S-off will this be a problem if i use the one click radio s-off tool?
[Desire HD Android Development] afrcom15:
That's fine
[Desire HD Android Development] than33:
After many trials I can confirm that this method is the only one which will give You stable root without force closes of superuser app.
[Desire HD Android Development] afrcom15:
When I tried this method I lost CWM.
[Desire HD Android Development] hamdir:
wifi working? and do you have the new radio now?
[Desire HD Android Development] XBOCT:
Yes. At least in my DHD.

I have found why I can't flash radio. Then only "radio S-OFF" is flagged, we can flash anything exept radio. ENG hboot is required to flash radio. I don't know how to check that we have both "radio S-OFF" and ENG hboot since hbot shows "S-OFF" in any case.

Help !!! Ota 1.72

While reading this thread, I got a OTA system update notification. I started the download. After the download, the installation began and now I have a black screen with a triangle warning sign with a yellow exclamation mark and a green android.

What to do? Wait ? Or get the battery out?

Never mind. I got the battery out. The OTA failed, my system 1.32 still there.

Reason for failure: I removed some bloatware.
[Desire HD Android Development] fvs:
Yep got the same issue. Adding the hotmail with exchange now works, but it keeps resynching. It appears when I read a mail in the mail app, it doesn't get read on the server. So the same mail pops up every minute as a new mail.

[Desire HD Android Development] mike1986.:
it's the same as in ruu
[Desire HD Android Development] hamdir:
ah thx, but i meant either, i installed the OTA using clockwork recovery apply update.zip

it updated excluding the new kernel and the new radio, my wifi is broken now but i still have ENG hboot, radio s-off and CWM

i don't know how to extract the kernel form the RUU or OTA :o
[Desire HD Android Development] he_stheone64:
Thx - it worked like a charm. But if you have radio S-Off I`m sure you can even leave the radio.img in your PD98IMG.zip. I flashed it and already had the new radio 26.04.02.17_M2 before (flashed it manually) - so this indicates to me, that you can add it to the package without any harm IF you already have Radio S-Off
[Desire HD Android Development] hamdir:

2. does not show system info

[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:

[Desire HD Android Development] than33:
Maybe you still have updated su on sd card. Uninstall update in market.
[Desire HD Android Development] schack:
Hmm I simply can't figure out how to do this right.

Here is what I have been trying:

First I removed the superuser.apk from /system/app

Then I installed the updated SuperUser app from the Market.

When I started it, I was promptet to update the su application.

I did that.

After that I was able to run the SuperUser App, but apps like Titanium backup could not get root. (force close when trying)

I then replaced the updated su ommand with the original one from the g_free zip file, still no luck.

I then went back to superuser.apk and su from the g_free file.

Status now is all my apps can get root, and the first time I open the SuperUser app it works ok, after allowing root to an additional app it starts force closing everytime I open it, but apps can still get root.

As You can see I'm a bit lost ..

Hi peeps, im a newbie on the forums and also a newbie with android :) please forgive me if my question is stupid/dumb/retard but here goes nothing ><

also please move my post to a correct place if i posted wrong xD or change it into a topic :)

after getting the ROM file from the RUU's, i have opened it up to view contents. what i am interested with is what each file does :)

here are the list of files inside. [WWE 1.72.405.3]

android-info.txt

boot.img "Boot Image"

hboot_7230_Ace_0.85.0018_101207.nb0 "hboot/bootloader"

radio.img "Radio Image [Baseband Version 12.28e.60.140f_26.04.2.17_M2]"

rcdata.img

recovery.img "Recovery Image"

splash1.nb0 "Splash Screen Logo 1"

splash2.nb0 "Splash Screen Logo 2"

system.img "System Image [Kernel Version and Software/Build number/Browser Version]"

tp_ACE_SYN3KT0108.img

tp_ACE_SYN3KW020B.img

tp_atmel224_20aa.img

tp_atmelc12_20aa.img

userdata.img

the questions :

1. are my assumptions wrong?

2. What does the other ones mean?

3. Which IMG is needed to be mod for Rooting? or allowing Root? how to root the manual way?

4. is it possible to root the system before its flashed to obtain complete stability? [without messing around too much from the phone or adb etc]

5. Can the modified system.img etc be merged/overwrited into the rom then flashed to the phone via PD98IMG.zip method? [After getting S-OFF/ENG S-OFF and CID-11111111]

6. with S-On you only can upgrade and never downgrade. is it possible to change the version of the image/rom higher and self signed? [Example: WWE_1.32.405.6 be changed to 1.99.405.6] solely to help those people that accidently flashed to the new rom and cannot root or downgrade.

thank you for your patience with me. hope i could move 1 step ahead from being an android dumb **** to a better player in the field ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] tready:
Simply put its like this if you flashed this 1.72 Rom without having radio s off with super cid your stuffed no going back. If you have radio s off with super cid you can flash back

I have just tried to flash Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17 via fastboot using fasboot flash radio .... and it said sending OK, writing. But now it seems to have been writing for about 10 mins.

Is this normal? :?
[Desire HD Android Development] xmoo:
For some radio's yes... Check in bootloader on the right top corner.

There should be a progress bar!
[Desire HD Android Development] pinn___________:

[Desire HD Android Development] eboye:
Wow, it kept me whole afternoon doing this stuff. I finally managed to update my DHD and have root, wifi, mic and su not fcing.

I haven`t been able to flash ota zip file via CWM, I suppose it was the problem that CID was not changed for me with Radio S-Off tool.

I then updated using kammas guide and files in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9936625&postcount=91

but I have fastbooted boot.img - kernel and radio.img - radio via fastboot. Then uninstalled superuser, and installed with the guide from this page http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10058721&postcount=1

I had to S-Off with eng hboot to use fastboot command via cmd, with Radio S-Off it kept sayint not allowed.

Thanks everyone for posting their experience, I made it! :)

P.S. I made nand backup before everything, so I can go back to previous version if needed in future.
[Desire HD Android Development] randomdud:
aaahhhh i have so many questions and dont know the answers ;(

does the PD98IMG.zip file signed with a special method or is it just a normal .zip file? or is the .img files individually signed?

if normal zip file, is it possible to replace the android_info.txt

mainver: 1.32.405.6 to 1.99.999.9 ?

i was thinking of simply taking the chinese 1.75 radio and replace the one on 1.32 and changing mainver on android_info.txt to 9.99.999.9 and then flash it back to 1.32 "which is labeled as 9.99.999.9" for those with stuffed up 1.72 roms.. "that chinese radio seems to be good lol"

would this work even with S-ON or we cannot do anything about it?

How does OTA flash? what method is being used? can we duplicate the method and do an OTA of mixed files too?

if the IMG files itself are signed is there anyway to hex or change it to a higher version number? "example version 9.99.999.9" so whenever we get farted with an unrootable rom we can revert and go back to that version regardless of S-ON or S-OFF ?

just a bloody idea but i wonder if anyone could answer the question. i dont have this problem since i already read the forum for 1 week straight regarding this issues and had radio S-OFF Eng S-Off CID-1111111 and simunlock.. just trying to help those other peeps.. its frustrating when things get farked up... ><

btw if you have the answer please drop in and help out the poor peeps with stuck penis on the mailbox? they need a penis remover. ;(
