Yeah...I'm sure I did correct. I followed same method on my Desire. It worked but not on Desire HD. selected mmc2. I tried on 1gb 4 gb and 16 gb cards with different classes.

Here I made a video. SOrry my cam is broken. Recorded on HTC desire. VIdeo is crappy but still you can see what I've done...

Hi there,

I'm trying to root a Desire HD for a friend of mine and i think i did it all right, but for some reasons it doesn't show me the new version nor does it want to let me s off it.

So far i did everything with the CMD , i arrived here :

It finished and then i rebooted it with low volume, i got the bootloader to check PD98IMG.zip,

everythhing seemed okay then i rebooted it and nothing changed in the version numbers. here is what i got :

Android version :

2.3.3

HTC Sense version :

2.1

Baseband :

12.54.60.25U

Kernel version :

2.6.35.10

Software number :

What do you think?

Thank you for your help

edit: from what i understand from another how to, it never asked me to start the update, yet i had no errors, how is it so?

Can some1 please help - I am trying to downgrade but keep falling at the 1st hurdle.

When I enter (or paste) the 1st command into the cmd I get an error saying:

The phone I have is unlocked to all networks.

However - It says Orange on the back - and shows the Orange logo on start-up, does this mean that I have to make the Gold Card 1st?

Can I use this method to downgrade 2.37?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1152233

This is the link, its clearly stated tht it can downgrade from 2.37xx to lower versions.

My software version is: 2.37.720.3, so I can use it rt?

Aftr all the steps, cn I install the Kingdom ROM for HTC 3.0 sense?

Also, jst for information, I wld like to mention, I have done a official update to Gingerbread, and I have not done any unlocking, CID, goldcard or any of tht things yet.

I can still do the downgrading directly rt? Or do I have to take some steps before doing the same?

Thnx a lot, who got this crack.

:D
[Desire HD Android Development] nikki2325:
Dude your phone is branded...You need to debrand it first to a stock rom and then follow this procedure. Search in google how to debrand your mobile. First you need to make a gold card and then proceed.Also donot update your phone beyond 2.37. the downgrade won't just work for higher versions.
[Desire HD Android Development] nikki2325:
Yes you can. Just follow the tutorial and works 100%. Beware while making gold card. Follow each and every step.

Ok, Iv'e just made a Gold card using a spare 2GB card I had.

Ok, Ive just seen on my phones notification bar that it says SD card damaged :eek:

Iv'e formatted it again on my phone.

Does this mean I have to start the process of getting new goldcard again?

Or will it be the same? ie - do i need a new set of CID mmc2 numbers?

(P.S - I formatted and did the whole goldcard process whilst the SD card was in my phone - will it work better in USB adapter? )
[Desire HD Android Development] nikki2325:
Gold card works better when done through phone. Do not use SD card adaptor. when you connect your device to pc with charge only option and usb debugging enabled, in cmd type adb devices. It should detect your phone. or else there is problem with device connection. If you get this error then I will tell the process for making connection
[Desire HD Android Development] neosny:
I keep getting the 'Damaged SD card' message on my phone.

I have try'd creating the Goldcard using both my phone (as a disk drive) and using a SD adapter - which I then put in my phone after the Goldcard process is complete.

I am going nuts.

This is too much, isnt thr a descent software that can convert your SDCard to FAT32?

I dnt hav a card adapter rt nw, nd this is the first step in downgrading.

Pls help, this is damn irritating.

I need a way to format my card to FAT32.

Also, I am going to loose all my data, rt?
[Desire HD Android Development] nikki2325:
Don't worry I guess formatting SD card in your phone converts it to FAT32 ...Just go to settings > sd and phone storage > unmount sd card > erase sd card (be sure to backup)
[Desire HD Android Development] neosny:
The way that I formatted was to

> Plug phone into PC using HTC cable

> Select USB debugging Mode

> Change from 'Charge Only' to 'Disk Drive'

It should now show up on your PC - If not - click My Computer - find your device and right click and you should see the option to Format.

Formatting will mean that you will loose all your data as it will wipe everything.
[Desire HD Android Development] neosny:
Iv'e tried that a couple of times today and the DHD would always format it to 'FAT' and not 'FAT32'.

Don't no if that makes any difference in the long run to downgrade tho.
[Desire HD Android Development] nikki2325:
It definetely matters...FAT32 is compulsory...So try the other method Which u said...I guess you are rooted now right??? Just few steps away...just S-off and flash roms
[Desire HD Android Development] neosny:
yeah, thanks for everything nikki !

Im, just downloading a ROM now using ROM manager.

....Any advice on which one I should get?

I wanna get gingerbread with a good battery life and if possible - the Sense 3.0 UI like the one on the HTC Sensation with the 'rings'.
[Desire HD Android Development] nikki2325:
Ohh good to go...Try Virtuos unity Rom if you want to experience Sense 3.0. It's flawless. Buttery smooth with no bugs...!!!
[Desire HD Android Development] neosny:
okay thanks - does that also have the quick settings option in the notifications bar?

... how do I flash it on to my phone - Im looking on the forum - but it seems quite complicated.

(Will flashing clear everything of my sim card? )
[Desire HD Android Development] nikki2325:
You need 3 things

> your device must be rooted.

>you must be s-off

>also you must be radio s-off

yes it has quick settings

You have any gmail or yahoo account??? i would help you there...

You can always backup your contacts on simcard. sim card will not be erased

Guys which is the best HTC Sense 3.0 ROM?

I saw Kingdom ROM, its quiet good.

Pls let me no, which 1 shld I install.

Also, after I downgrade from 2.37, wht do I hav to do, to install the ROM?

I mean I keep reading things like rooting, S-OFF and stuff, wht is all tht?

Do I need to Root as well as do S-OFF to install any ROM?
[Desire HD Android Development] nikki2325:
After downgrading, you need to root your phone, eng s-off and also radio s-off to install a rom. There are some rare rom's which allow you to flash withour s-off, but 90% of roms need s-off. Make sure to do s-off before you proceed.

Virtuos Unity is good for sense 3.0 . If you need iphone look, go for miui roms.

Virtuos Unity looks little bit laggy and slow. I guess u use it, so hws it? Battery, speed and all?

KINGDOM ROM looks pretty famous around here, and it kinda is smooth. The video link I posted was of previous version of KINGDOM ROM, now they have made evn mre fixes and improvements.

Lemme no.
[Desire HD Android Development] nikki2325:
The two videos which you posted, in kingdom video, 3d home screen is turned off... so it looks a bit faster while in virtuous rom, 3d home screen is turned on...that makes huge difference. For me, virtuous runs fine with 3d hone screen turned off. It's your chocie to make. DO try both roms. It' just takes few mins to flash. Battery is fine, no issues.

[Desire HD Android Development] Sybregunne:
I assume you have 2.37 or higher.

Did you use goldcard helper? mmc2? ...

I think post #2 of this thread has an answer for you. Or if your phone is still under warranty, gently pry off ur camera flash cover, search DHD forum for gps and 1000% but instead off pulling pins out push it gently in. Then go for warranty complain of gps failure. Chances are they will replace the mainboard. With a lower sw version. Try at your own risk though.

Goldcard

I also had trouble with the method described on theunlocker site. There is a market aplication (GoldCardHelper) that help you with the goldcard image. The aplication also uses revskills site, but you don't have to copy your CID, reverse it, an so on. You just copy and paste your reverse CID on revskills site and they send you the goldcard image. From that point on you follow the rest of the steps described on theunlocker site (HEX-editing your MBR of the card) and you should end up with a perfectly good goldcard.

Keep in mind that not every card can be made into a goldcard. I'm using a noname 4Gb, class 4 SDHC.

Downgrading from 2.50.405.2 to 1.32.405.6 with goldcard

After you succesfuly created a goldcard, you place it in your phone.

I've downloaded the official 1.32.405.6 ruu from this site. I have connected the phone to my laptop (i had previosly installed htc sync) and run the ruu. The ruu aplication recognised my phone and i've followed the steps for installing the new rom (1.32.405.6) After a few minutes the process was finished and my phone's build number was 1.32.405.6.

From that point on it was just a problem of VISIONary+ and sfjuocekr's DHD script for achiving permanent root and clockwork recovery ( For that i have followed this tutorial).

I hope this helps.
[Desire HD Android Development] fabbenation:
Oh, is a RUU when you just install the ROM directly to your phone? And you can only do it when you maked a goldcard? Am i right? o.O

Can you from like 2.3.3 gingerbread to 2.2.1 1.32.405.6 with a RUU?
[Desire HD Android Development] smoke2tun:
I'm installing the ROM using the official ruu (.exe file). When you have a goldcard inserted in your phone, the ruu bypasses the phones CID. This means that you can install any ruu, even if your current version is higher than the one you are about to install or if your phone is branded.
[Desire HD Android Development] smoke2tun:
Yes you can. Here is a site with official ruu's: http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Ace
