For anyone that has the 1.72 rom have you guys tried z4root?

That app is able to root many froyo devices. So wondering if it can do the dhd 2.2.1 froyo rom?

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=437399&d=1289321728

I know that is meant for the galaxy s. But guess it wont hurt to give it a shot?
[Desire HD Android Development] dr.m0x:
It doesn't work. Visionary uses rageagainstthecage. Z4root uses rageagainstthecage. The 1.72 update blocks the rageagainstthecage exploit.

Jus proves after reading this thread ppl don't in this order,; read, understand and THEN root etc lol I never update officially because its obviously going to be update to disable user control of th device. Lol iv got leedroid 1.3a running it is based on new update and I have no problems at all... feel sorry to ppl who got the new updated devices cos they never even had the chance to do everything th right way to have root. Companies are evil :p to all I wud suggest leedroid his Rom rules and he got us on th new Rom base with full root. If u are on the old phone software use leedroids instructions u will never regret it, not unless u balls it up lol

Meeeeeeeh

Hi guys !

I managed to understand a few things about rooting, S-off and so on by reading this post, so I'm asking here.

It seems that having CID 11111111 is the best "rooting state", but I only have Eng S-off (done with the method on this thread).

Here are my bootloader infos

ACE PVT ENG S-OFF
HBOOT-0.85.2007 (PD9810000)
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.03.02.26_M
eMMC-boot

CID-HTC__102

Must also say I'm with the 1.32 ROM, did not update to 1.72 (tried though, but fortunately did not work).

So my question is, how can I get from here the radio S-off with CID 11111111, or whatever is the best rooting level, without being stuck with one ROM or bricking my phone ?

Thanks for your advices !

hi guys, i have the new official rom and i can't root my device, why don't open a thread about this for searching solutions????:D

Downgradeable - S-OFF - SUPER CID

i just downgrade my 1.72 succesfully, i flash the 1.72 just to see the update (trust me, its a great update, louder sound, more stable, battery life improving), and then i flash downgrade again because i need root,

as we all know that we have 2 type of S-OFF (ENG S-OFF and RADIO S-OFF), we can have one of it, or we can have both for our device,

flashing RUU will remove the ENG S-OFF, and CLOCKWORKMOD, but the RADIO S-OFF will still remain,

so if you have both, your RADIO S-OFF will still be there,

and of course, if you have only the ENG S-OFF, you will be return to normally S-ON,

make sure you have RADIO S-OFF and Super-CID, jkoljo have a great tool with just one click, make sure your CID is : CID-11111111, if HTC__0xx then you dont have Super CID,

to see your CID version, flash the ENG S-OFF, and you will see "SYSTEM INFO" menu in your bootloader,

finally, for people who want to try this 1.72 ROM and want to go back later, just make sure you are in 1.32 now and :

- you have ENG S-OFF and RADIO S-OFF and SUPER CID all in your device,

- after flash, see your bootloader, there should be still ENG S-OFF there, not S-ON,

- and then make sure your CID is CID-11111111, (your CID could be seen from SYSTEM INFO menu in bootloader, after doing ENG S-OFF)

- when you have all that information, go ahead, flash play your 1.72 ROM,

- when you get bored of 1.72, you should be able to downgrade easily,

- after downgrade, don't forget to ROOT again,

- after that, you should have (flash) ENG S-OFF, RADIO S-OFF, SUPER CID, CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY again,

if the above way give you an error, or stuck, and you are afraid, try this step, make sure :

- you have ENG S-OFF and RADIO S-OFF and SUPER CID all in your device,

- after flash, see your bootloader, there should be still ENG S-OFF there, not S-ON,

- and then make sure your CID is CID-11111111, (your CID could be seen from SYSTEM INFO menu in bootloader, after doing ENG S-OFF)

- when you have all that information, go ahead, flash play your 1.72 ROM,

- when you get bored of 1.72, you should be able to downgrade easily this way,

- run the RUU file, after you saw "I understand ...", stop right there,

- go to my computer/c:/documents and setting/(your user name)/local setting/temp,

- you will see many folders like this "{832CR809-8C56-9H76-4G85-4G9634IH92H82}", open it one by one, search that containing "ROM.ZIP",

- rename the "ROM.ZIP" to "PD98IMG.zip", and put it in the root directory of your SD Card,

- remove your battery, and put it back again,

- press volume down (keep pressing) and press power,

- the bootloader will recognize the zip, and flash it to your device,

hopes this help,

[Desire HD Android Development] _fm:
use one tool click off by jkoljo, it will do SUPER CID for your device too,.

after you do that with the one click tool, dont forget to check your super cid again, if you are CID-1111111, then you have SUPER CID in your device,

BR
[Desire HD Android Development] mehmehmen:
To all here

if you want to have the benefits of the latest update but do not want to lose the ability to have root access on your phone then simply go to jkoljo's radio one click s-off radio thread as mentioned above and then once that has been implemented go leedroids desire hd 1.3a thread and install his rom, it is built from the 1.72 update, encompasses the new 1.72 radio and has full root and also happens to be one of the most relibale custom sense roms on the desire hd (iv had mine since release in uk and have flashed many roms since i got it, i will say that leedroids rom and thread is the most usable and still keeps all the stuff we get from sense that IS USEFULl although the less useful parts cannot be removed as sense will malofunction if certain parts are missing)

:D trust me you wont regret it if you do it :p

My Desire HD already has the 1.72.405.3 update installed. Is there anyway for me to root the phone?
[Desire HD Android Development] afrcom15:
You don't need to flash radio S-OFF again after downgrade or superCID. They will be unaffected by the process.

I've put the rom.zip (renamed PD98IMG.zip) on the SD Card, reboot in boot loader, the phone have check the zip and "CID Incorrect error" ... :s

"Sorry for my English"
[Desire HD Android Development] kuceens007:
They have then security for this. We need to wait.

No need to make new root,better need to figure how to downgrade..

Sent from my Desire HD
[Desire HD Android Development] :
I wonder if us people who updated will ever get to root. It's a shame they put tight security to stop people from doing things like rooting, it just ruins the experience. Hopefully they will be able to crack this, cause if they don't, I might just go back to jailbreaking an iPhone.
[Desire HD Android Development] salimfadhley:
I've decided to use a different phone for my experiments - so I want to just take this OTA update and revert my phone to HTC standard (i.e. take the upgrade and loose root)

What would happen if I just try to flash the OTA update via clockwork? Would it ruin my phone or would it simply install but get rid of my root & s-off?

I'm probably not going to keep this D-HD for long, so I really dont want to mess it up. It's going to cost me if I have to sell it as a brick on eBay. All I want is the simplest possible way to turn this rooted + clockwork'd DHD into a regular "normob" Desire HD.

Any suggestions?
[Desire HD Android Development] Eddie1506:
Flashing the OTA through clockwork recovery will update it to 1.72 but will not flash kernel, hboot, radio and recovery, so you'll have a chance restoring root. Done it myself and am now happilly running 1.72 with full root. Followed the guide at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=885996

As for returning to stock, you only need to flash the latest RUU and that's all. The RUU is here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=899564
[Desire HD Android Development] salimfadhley:
Presumably the RRU is a complete bundle - including OS, Kernel, Radio & Recovery, right? What does RRU stand for anyway?

Can you clarify - that RRU zip file image, do I just copy it onto a SD card and then flash it using clockwork? After that I presume I just do the OTA update and accept whatever HTC chooses to dish out to me.
[Desire HD Android Development] exxi:
Ii can't believe that there is still no way to revert back. I really want to try some new roms :/

How is your battery life on 1-72? mine is terrible
[Desire HD Android Development] Eddie1506:
The RUU on that link is somehow downloaded as ZIP file. Download it and rename to exe. It's an exe file and all it takes is to run it on your Windows machine and follow instructions.

RUU stands for ROM/Remote Update Utility and includes the whole deal, stock kernel, radio, recovery, hboot, os. All of it.
[Desire HD Android Development] salimfadhley:
Thanks for the clarification - that makes much more sense now.

Presumably it will revert to the phone's factory installed state - so I will still have the option of taking the latest OTA update.
[Desire HD Android Development] Eddie1506:
No need for OTA. The RUU that I gave you the link for, matches the OTA, i.e. it's the same thing as OTA, only packaged as fullblown update.
[Desire HD Android Development] frottage:
So to clarify in the simplest possible terms

I have a DHD which is totally stock - I have never attempted any form of root or Rom update other that those which dropped into the phone "new system software is available" basically the official HTC OTA updates. I have done several of those and my device is now on Android 2.2.1 version 1.72.405.3

Does this mean that custom ROMS and ROOT are now unavailable to me until someone cracks it again ?

Sorry to be so simplistic but I have read all the posts in this thread and I am still unsure - although I suspect the gist of things is as above:confused:
[Desire HD Android Development] Mohannad100:
thank you for the warning
[Desire HD Android Development] tmh:
Yup, that right there, is the entire point of this thread and its topic. The 1.72.405.3 update patched up root access good, unfortunately. Hopefully another loophole will be found, but until then, it's stock ROM and no root for you (and all the others who updated).
[Desire HD Android Development] Doktaphex:
I'm glad the thread is now sticky, it should help other folks avoid the unpleasant situation that some people have now found themselves in.
[Desire HD Android Development] eriic:
Sending my phone away for repair, ill probably get the latest version, dont I? :/
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrock.nl:
at least one upside to the new radio, it greatly improves my battery, can last 4 days now with minimal use, in stead of the half a day.

but i do miss root :(
[Desire HD Android Development] lodger:
I just orderd a DHD to replace my x10 due to it beening to locked down,,,i hope my phone dont come with the new version on it,,,,will find out tomo.
[Desire HD Android Development] exxi:
I wouldn't worry too much about it being locked down indefinitely. I am sure that there will be a new version of Visionary that allows us to Root it again, we just have to be patient I suppose.
[Desire HD Android Development] amm009uk:
Do your best to donate a small amount to the first guy cracking this ROM:)
[Desire HD Android Development] vuhongduong:
I bought a DHD yesterday. I learnt to root....then flash the 1.72.405.3 wwe ruu regardless of this warning.

Today, I flash back to RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.6_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26 .03.02.26_M_release_155891_signed, then rooted, S-off, S-on, SimUnlock...

Continuouslly, I flashed Android Revolution HD 2.0.3a.zip posted here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=840040 (The rom rooted originally)

Every thing is succesful!

Argh I really hope they put out a new root soon!! This HTC Sense is killing me, I just want stock Android!! Really wish I didn't update cause now I have an unrootable phone and a broken SMS notification system with no way to downgrade! Damn HTC never gonna update again!
[Desire HD Android Development] amm009uk:
Wow you did all that in 1 day!!!! I think most ppl have rooted THATS WHY THIS THREAD IS HERE just didn't have Radio S-OFF:(
[Desire HD Android Development] exxi:
Damn radio S-OFF ruined it for us right there. I would be interested to know who is working on a solution right now.....

I already wrote to the Visionary team, so far no answer. I want out of this cage asap.
[Desire HD Android Development] _fm:
Of course that happened, because your device doesnt have a super CID,.

If you want to super CID, you could use jkoljo wonderful tools (one click radio s-off),

Super CID require root,. 1.72 is not available to be rooted yet,.

If going to 1.72 from rooted, s-off and superCID ed 1.32, its all safe,

But when the device just coming new with 1.72 version, means you just need to be patient waiting the new root tool sir,.

Hopes this help,
[Desire HD Android Development] guinnes.s:
done the same (renamed PD98IMG.zip) on the SD Card, reboot in boot loader.

in my case it says that cannot flash it because is a older version.

could me possible to change something on the 1.32 PD98IMG.zip to make believe the phone that is a new update?date stamp on files?just a dumb idea lol
[Desire HD Android Development] dr.m0x:
Unfortunately if you modify the contents of the file you would need to resign it with the encryption keys htc use. If its not signed with the correct key the bootloader won't accept it.
[Desire HD Android Development] kuceens007:

"Sorry for my English"
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
No, I just tried that earlier today :)

I have been working many hours today to be able to downgrade. Many possible approaches, many dead ends..
[Desire HD Android Development] exxi:
I've seen that you've done some great work with your tool. I suppose you'd know a lot about rooting/down/upgrading this phone. If you have not found a solution yet then there is no point for me to try. I used to have S-OFF but I've done it the old school method via adb when your tool wasn't out yet. I suppose there is no way to exploit the once rooted device for downgrade? in the bootloader it says that the Radio is S-ON.

I wonder who is busy solving the problem now but my worst fear is that I'll stay in jail and sell the phone to one of the cops. I wish I had the knowledge to contribute to rooting 1.72 - all I can do really is donate
[Desire HD Android Development] ratcliffe_mike:
Me too

About a week ago I installed the OTA update without thinking.

My wifes phone is branded so she did not get the update. Her battery was running down too quickly so I debranded it and installed the new firmware. Ironic that now she is the one with s-off ... I guess I could still root that phone but I am stuck with mine until someone finds a way in.

If I knew enough about it I would write an app myself :rolleyes:
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Yeah, those 1.72 / 1.75 builds cannot be temprooted yet, so no s-off exploit will work. If your device was not Radio S-OFF before you upgraded, it cannot be downgraded.. Yet.

There are a few teams working actively on the problem, me & my friend, scotty2 & gfree/g2root people and someone anonymous who said that he would release a temproot method. Sadly there has not been news from the temproot guy.
[Desire HD Android Development] exxi:
Good to know that you guys are trying what you can! would you advise an upgrade to 1.75 if that is even possible with 1.72 already flashed or should I stay on 1.72 for now?
[Desire HD Android Development] amm009uk:
That's the best update I've heard - thankyou!

[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
1.72 / 1.75 Temporary root

So, this is for you guys to test. Props to Scotty2!

Download:

https://github.com/tmzt/g2root-kmod/raw/scotty2/scotty2/psneuter/psneuter

adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/psneuter
adb shell /data/local/tmp/psneuter
adb shell

The end result should be "#".

Please keep in mind that the psneuter, as scotty2 says, shoots the device's property service in the head, so it will probably not want to work just as it should after the process. Downgrade method is just around the corner..
[Desire HD Android Development] exxi:
Oh happy day !!! :D
[Desire HD Android Development] quarintus:
Can you elaborate what it precisely does? Does this give you Temp root?

Also, Can't get the link to work. :(
[Desire HD Android Development] robE9:
you have to "save link as" :P

Afaik this will grant root and posibility to donwgrade to 1.32 by flashing pc10mg.zip (which is a ruu)

this is taken from g2/desire Z not sure if it will work or not.
[Desire HD Android Development] krokodyl:
Link - click right button mouse - Save as ....
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
It will give temporary root, just like Visionary does. After getting temproot, misc partition has to be edited, then it is possible to flash 1.32 RUU using microSD method. More about that later :)

It has to be confirmed that G2 misc edit method works on DHD. If it does, we will have downgraded devices today. If somebody wants to test it according to G2 thead instructions (above, quote), I will post a thread with detailed instructions. I will also make a simple to use tool for it later..
[Desire HD Android Development] shatterator:
So I just have to put the file on my phone, open the shell (on the phone?), post the code printed before and end up with root? Does it work?

thanks for reply
[Desire HD Android Development] quarintus:
I know, but save as what? It comes with a .txt.

Is it .apk or .zip?

Don't awnser, it's already explained. Thankyou.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
It works, you have to use adb connection. This is for experienced users, as I said, there will be more user friendly method.

If you want to try it, enable USB Debugging on your phone, connect charge only to a PC, get my radio tool.zip (extract), go to it's folder with cmd and execute those commands. Make sure that you have HTC Sync on your PC.
[Desire HD Android Development] robE9:
i know its a newb question but is there any harm we can do if we try these commands ? i mean in the worst case it won`t work but i guess we can`t brick our phones no ? :P
[Desire HD Android Development] shatterator:
Thnaks ;) Did not see that there is a guide now on the page before....

EDIT: With youre radio tool.zip you've ment pro...version_01.zip? I can't extract that file...
[Desire HD Android Development] gsk:
I believe the tool is the one from his thread:

I have ran the lines, the psneuter is put on the device and the chmod works.

But then I get a permission denied when running the next line.

Thanks that was what I needed. Could you extract the pro...version_01.zip file from the page before?
[Desire HD Android Development] gsk:
Nope, can't get the misc_version file as that .zip is damaged.
[Desire HD Android Development] eplehat:
get the 1.34.405.5 ruu if you don't have it already?

Step 2 of the guide from g2/desire z thread says to get the 1.34.405.5 ruu

Don't have this and don't know where to get it. Is it the same for g2/desire z as for dhd??

also, the psneuter is a .txt file, just remove the .txt extension to use the file.
