Hi, there are no problems, just use it and be happy :p
[Desire HD Android Development] hasni2005:
Thanks a lot for guide

i've made all steps, i've make a goldcard succesfuly, but i got this error (CID incorect)when trying to flash the file stock 1.32 PD98IMG.zip

please help me :confused:

Version : 1.75.163.2 SFR
[Desire HD Android Development] cmlow0:
Looks like your Goldcard is incomplete or faulty? I have this error when I try downgrade without create a Goldcard. After that it's a smooth transition.

Perhaps you can try to recreate the Goldcard again. (FAT32 etc)
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Remember to use mmc2 instead of mmc1 while making the goldcard.
[Desire HD Android Development] Dad Pee:
After achieving the first step i tried to install visionary on the device but it won't install so i quit, don't if it was the version or what but these steps are easy once you succeed but hard for new android users, but thanks for the help received am reading closely before next attempt.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
It might be hard if you want to add some steps yourself :D

The guide does not say that you should install Visionary, in fact the guide helps you to get it working. Downgrading allows you to get rid of HTC's new security measures, which include disabling root.
[Desire HD Android Development] hasni2005:
Thanks a lot for your replays

i works fine now after using mmc2 when making a goldcard

Thanks again :)
[Desire HD Android Development] Dad Pee:
how do you gain root then after downgrading which i did successfully i hope so since i got # and downgraded with later version.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Now you can use Visionary :)
[Desire HD Android Development] Dad Pee:
Well this is what i meant after putting vnary on the card it would not lunch so could not install it to go further , is it because of the version i was using r14?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Which ROM are you using at the moment?

Download the Visionary again. That version is ok.
[Desire HD Android Development] Dad Pee:
i did upgraded again back i can downgrade easyly
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
You upgraded back to the higher build, and now you wonder why Visionary does not work?? Oh come on.. :rolleyes:
[Desire HD Android Development] Dad Pee:
No no since i could not install visionary i quit trying and i did not wanted to stay in that state so i upgraded to a normal working state to use my phone untill i could solve the problem.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Okay.. Well how did the phone not work in 1.32.405.6? That build is a pure HTC build. Go back to it, and just install Visionary. If any error messages come up, please ask in the forum instead of messing around with HTC's evil security measures.
[Desire HD Android Development] Dad Pee:
Ok thanks i will report when i have any problem, frankly i was a bit scared by the terms HBOOT, CLock.... CID etc etc and did not want to mess up my phone since i was leaving for a business trip and i depend on it for my business so i did upgrade. thanks for the help.
[Desire HD Android Development] fyfestuart:
Hi all,

I'm totally new to android and just got a DHD. Ive been trying to downgrade it for the last 5 hours to no avail :(

Maybe someone can help ....

I have a DHD running 1.72 on a virgin mobile branded firmware

I have created a gold card and downloaded the image and checked the md5

The instructions for temporary root appear to work, and the phone puts a backup file on the sd card.

I then put the phone into diskmode copy the zip over and reboot to bootloader.. it appears to be checking for the zip and comes up with a message like "not found....."

I've tried formatting the card before and after i temproot it several times and its still doing the same thing. Have I done something wrong?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Try another SD, some cards just refuse to work with the bootloader. Make sure that you do a full format, it should take easily more than a minute depending on the size of the card.
[Desire HD Android Development] fyfestuart:
Thanks! I nipped out and got a new card and now its currently flashing the phone :)
[Desire HD Android Development] Dad Pee:
Anyone can explain how visionary is install can't open it to root thanks. when i click visionary i get a problem parsing the package, using astro right click give this Directory com.m.visionary,,,r14.apk could not be loaded, can't install bad
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Well, download it again.
[Desire HD Android Development] Dad Pee:
i removed everything from my pc and phone download it again but can't install.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Ok, which build are you using at the moment? 1.32.405.6?

How are you trying to install it?
[Desire HD Android Development] Dad Pee:
yes> after flashing i moved the VNary apk to the sd card then with astro went to the file click to install nothing, downloaded app installer from the market to install but get a problem parsing the package, it was not a zip file so i taught it will install normally but did not is there a particular way of installing it?

Thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
In 1.32.405.6, just get Visionary.apk, put it into your SD, and click it with a file explorer such as ES file explorer. You might have to tick "allow unknown sources" in settings -> applications.
[Desire HD Android Development] Dad Pee:
The file name is this com.modaco.visionaryplus.r14 is it the correct file? unknown file allowed
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Yeah, that sounds correct.
[Desire HD Android Development] Dad Pee:
Hi i just started afresh put vnary to the card click to install it says there is a problem parsing the file
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
That's weird.. Maybe it is your SD card. You could ask in the official Visionary thread in MoDaCo, it is hard for me to help you because I did not make that app :)
[Desire HD Android Development] hanifh:
help!

trying to follow this guide but getting the CID incorrect error. my device is brand new and unbranded. tried creating a gold card but get a 'no such file or directory' error when executing 'adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid'. I am quite handy with android and have rooted several phones before including an HTC Desire but this is something else!

build number is 1.84.720.3

would appreciate your assistance!

/h2
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
How about reading the first post again, especially the small note after Goldcard guide link ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] hanifh:
sorry mate, do you mean downloading and executing the downgrade.zip file? did that already...
[Desire HD Android Development] Dad Pee:
Big Thanks

Found the problem my Anti Virus was detecting it as dangerous and it did removed something so the file was not complete on the sdcard, now corrected and installed. next step S Off and new rom.

found R Rom 4 beta and 3.3 zhich one do you recommend Big Thanks:)
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
No, but the mmc2 instead of mmc1 -part :)

Ah I see, I am glad you found the problem! Try 3.3, it is great for daily use.
[Desire HD Android Development] Dad Pee:
Thanks you can add it to your 1 post to warn people with some A V now and done going for the rom to flash big thanks.:)

do i have to reinstall V Nary and Rom manager after flashing Rev Rom
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
No you do not have to, custom ROMs are already rooted :)
[Desire HD Android Development] Dad Pee:
Hi there are many 4G links on the 3.3 page why 4G mentioned in the links instead of 3.3 confusing thanks.

Also checksum mentioned how do we check that, thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Because the ROM works for both Inspire 4G and DHD. Use md5summer, google it.
[Desire HD Android Development] Dad Pee:
Ok thanks have a good week again thanks

Oh please do i have to decompress the ROM file or dump it to the sd card
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
I will :)

Just dump it, clockworkmod reads full zip files.
[Desire HD Android Development] Dad Pee:
Success here will play with a while then jump to 2.3. thanks my Friend.
[Desire HD Android Development] rizzler123:
what happens if I put a new stock ROM on

hi,

Im new to the desire HD as I have a desire and im unlocking a phone for a friend. She wants the phone network unlocked but would like to stay with the stock roms. Is that possible?

My plan was to downgrade the phone then do the radio unlock, and then find a stock desire HD rom and put that back onto the phone.

My only concern is will the stock rom simlock the phone again?

Does anyone know where I can get the orange france stock rom?

Cheers,

Rizz
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
It is possible to flash the stock ROM back, it will stay sim unlocked. If you get radio S-OFF, you can easily flash any WWE ROM, thus unbranding the phone :)

What I would do, is that I would get root & S-OFF, and then flash Raidroid Stockify series ROM. That way you can flash her a custom ROM easily in the future.
[Desire HD Android Development] rizzler123:
Thanks jkoljo,

Im going through the process now. I was hoping to get her back on the same rom as she wants the OTA updates and I dont really want to deal with her phone again :). But ive not been able to ind the stock 1.84.61.2 anywhere. Any ideas?

Cheers,

Eirun

[Desire HD Android Development] metroplis:
I think the main point is use the DHD as a card reader when you do the goldcard.

I have failed 3 times on CID mismatch/error at the step of write the pd98img.zip . It is because i use a card reader to do the goldcard.

But i have sucessed to write the pd98img.zip after i use the DHD as a card reader.

SORRY my bad english.
[Desire HD Android Development] hanifh:
right on the money dude. struggled for days with this until I ran the entire process with the SD mounted on phone. thanks.

[Desire HD Android Development] drive2droad:
Can anybody tell me why am i getting CID mismatch/error at the step of write the pd98img.zip ? I don't have a branded DHD .
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Then you have a regional DHD, which is regarded as branded DHD. Anyway, it is not a WWE DHD, so make the goldcard.
[Desire HD Android Development] drive2droad:
Its not regional , its a sim free version bought in India
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Feel free to argue with me, but it is regional.
[Desire HD Android Development] drive2droad:
does this mean "I need a goldcard" ?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Yep, as I said a few posts ago :)
[Desire HD Android Development] drive2droad:
Damn that process is laborious but thanks for guiding me towards the right path !

What about reading the second post?

It has been discussed many times, I am sure that the forum search can also help you. In a nutshell, make a goldcard.
[Desire HD Android Development] ineomod:
Lost my 3G network :(

Alright I'm still noobish at this rooting stuff, but I managed to finish the downgrade process. One problem is that I can't get my 3G to work D: The first time I tried this I got the CID error, so I went to make a goldcard. I don't think that was what affected the 3G cuz i'm pretty sure i could still access it then, but do tell me if i'm wrong. After that i went ahead to do this, and I still got the CID error, so I changed the mmc0 to mmc2, and it worked at last. But then when it booted up I couldn't access the 3G network at all. I checked it in the settings and it's there, turned on and waiting to be used, but my phone just refuses to let me use it.

Please help me with this! thx alot!

EDIT: IT'S FIXED! :D after hours of researching, i realised that the problem lies in the APN settings. I read that there are many ROMs that are incompatible with certain APNs (or something similar to this I'm not very sure), so I had to search for my ISP's APN settings and key them in myself.

For the record, I'm in Singapore and using SingTel, and I got the settings from here http://lesterchan.net/blog/2010/09/11/singtel-starhub-m1-apn-settings/. The APN settings for StarHub and M1 are there too.
[Desire HD Android Development] I'm TheQuest:
Hi, jkoljo

I see you got round to going

Bold!

. :eek: :D:D

Take Care

TheQuest :cool:
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
ineomod: The downgrade process itself did not cause that, but maybe the 1.32.405.6 ROM does not have the correct APN settings for your network. Set them manually, and it should be fine.

TheQuest: Yep I did :D
[Desire HD Android Development] ineomod:
Thanks for the confirmation :)

Creating a goldcard

Hi

I've just got a Desire HD on Orange. Now i've already got a gold card that I've previously used for de branding my orange desire. Is it possible to use this same card for de branding the Desire HD. Just confused about the Use "mmc2" instead of "mmc1" bit.

Thanks in advance.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
It should be just fine. The mmc2 part is because of how Desire HD works, it allows us to find out the proper SD specific string to use when creating a goldcard. You can get the same result with a different device using mmc1.
[Desire HD Android Development] hartley95:
Thanks for the quick reply, I'll give it a go later

Cheers
[Desire HD Android Development] dortok:
The page for revercing the mmc number does not work. After clicking submit, a HTTP 404 error is returned. Is there any alternative?
[Desire HD Android Development] hartley95:
Failed on first command.

All ready to start downgrading. Phone plugged in charge only, USB debugging enabled.

The first command fails with the following error

C:\Downgrade>adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp

cannot stat 'psneuter': No such file or directory

I've seached the forum but can't find an answer

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] maneck35:
Try using the GoldCard helper app that you can download from android market.
[Desire HD Android Development] hartley95:
For anyone else having the same problem I've managed to complete the downgrade process.

To get past the above error I copied the following files to C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools

psneuter & misc_version

and using CMD changed directory to the above folder and ran the commands from there.

Thanks jkoljo for an excellent tool
[Desire HD Android Development] dnlilas:
I am on the same boat with you. I am newbie to DHD too, trying to search for information, other expert would help. For now I understand that maybe we need to put superuser.apk to /system/app and su to /system/bin .

Find some code in Google, do not know if it is correct:

export PATH=$PATH:/system/bin

cd /system/app

cat /sdcard/Superuser.apk > Superuser.apk

cd /system/bin

cat /sdcard/su > su

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

chmod 06755 su

Also maybe with a fixed version superuser to work with 1.72.x.

[Desire HD Android Development] El_Nino9:
erm you need to downgrade to 1.32 or 1.34 depending on what files you're using and then use the original root instructions. then you can flash a 1.72.x based rom

you only have TEMP root

there is still write protection?
[Desire HD Android Development] blubbers:
i've re-mounted /system rw, put the su stuff there and set the setuid bit and tried to 'su -' from a terminal on the android; it crashes, so does ti-backup xD
[Desire HD Android Development] dnlilas:
Wow, you are more advanced than I. Did you take the fixed superuser version for 1.72.x as I mentioned in post #81 ?

Otherwise maybe MyBackup free is sufficient for you (better than nothing).

[Desire HD Android Development] dnlilas:
Under your Windows OS, run a command prompt (start button, Run then input cmd.exe). Then use cd command to change to your Downgrade folder (e.g. if you unzip to c:\tmp\Downgrade, type cd "c:\tmp\Downgrade". Then type (or copy-paste) the sequence of commands as mentioned.
[Desire HD Android Development] BlackTigerX:
you need busybox to get TitaniumBackup working.

If you still don't get it to work please just downgrade, all apps are redownloaded from market anyway - you just loose your app settings but are they really that important? :o
[Desire HD Android Development] dnlilas:
Maybe instead of symbolic link, just use the plain copy (cp -fp) command ?

You did something wrong while making the goldcard. Try it again and read the instructions carefully.

so i wanna reconfirm. do i need to connect the DHD to the PC when i do the process with goldcard?
[Desire HD Android Development] Sonnyhood:
Im so sorry if this has been answered.

But mine is already rooted from 1.32 and custom ROM'd

I have 1.72.405.3 which was downloaded from XDA

I dont think it is an OTA update, so this downgrade does not apply to me?

This downgrade is only for phone which were first loaded with 1.72 and unable to root.

Am i correct in my assumptions?

When i did load 1.72 i think it wasnt fully tested.

Do i stay or do i change, i dont have any problems to note but if its better i will.

:) thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] MixhaL:
HI

I have a problem.

I get an error:

"Error opening backup file"? You did not use "Charge only" -connection, or your SD card is faulty.

I use charge only and debugging mode enable. My card at PC and Desire HD works fine so what is the problem?

At phone I have non stock 1.72 rom and clockworkmod recovery but I need a stock rom to send phone to the service.

Where is the problem and how to restore stock rom?

Maybe I should format an SD card?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Then you should not be using this guide. Use the S-ON guide in my radio s-off tool thread.
[Desire HD Android Development] Jenxie:
I've had som problems since i downgraded, after downgrade and pretty much factory resseted my phone (CID and S-OFF was back to normal) i then S-OFF'd and Radio S-OFF'd again, so everything wen't as it should. I tried to flash roms wich goes well, tested 4-5 diffrent roms and versions, for example now i tried with a Gingerbread RC's Rom and inside it it says i have version 2.31, but when i boot the phone with volume down and 'System Information' it still says i'm on 1.32.405.6? I've had GPS not working at all problems with all kinds of roms for example LeeDroid's wich i've always run and never had any problems with before and was thinking maybe this is the cause..

Any of you downgraded and upgraded any rom that could check 'System Information' What OS version you've got?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
That is normal. We are installing ROMs via Clockworkmod, not hboot, so hboot does not get informed about the new version. It would be stupid, because then we might run into problems with main version.. Anyway, things are like they should be.

Try flashing the recommended radio. Also try faster fix -app from market. It should solve your GPS problems. Downgrading has nothing to do with GPS.

By the way, factory reset does not delete SuperCID, Radio S-OFF and ENG S-OFF.
[Desire HD Android Development] Jenxie:
Thx alot for the info i'll try it out. (i used your other guide to S-ON it btw) ;) Just tryed to make the post short ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] Jenxie:
Oh yeah, i might add that everytime i flashed a rom i always used the recommended Radio for that version but the same problem with it, very strange might even be a hardware problem. Just info, this is the wrong thread for this kind of stuff ;) Thx again.

[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Humm, what guide are you using to make the goldcard?

The misc version is fine in first post, just follow that guide strictly and do not try to make your own improvements.
[Desire HD Android Development] Jenxie:
I've ran into a problem, i think the GPS is broken, i've flashed PD98IMG.zip, and the GPS didn't work, when i try to "update" the rom in the phone it says it can't find any updates, so i was thinking to use the warranty and remove any traces of fiddlin with the device. So if i S-ON it using default CID (001), flashing PD98IMG.zip works (to be sure there aren't any traces of the temp root etc) it still can't find any updates. So i try to CID it to HTC Sweden wich i've found in another post to be HTC__G09 (phone bought in sweden) i can't flash PD98IMG.zip, says incorrect CID =(

Ideas would be appriciated =)
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
There are no updates to 1.32.405.6 at the moment. HTC should release one very soon.

You can use a goldcard to force the WWE ROM into a phone with swedish CID, but I do not recommend stuff like that.
[Desire HD Android Development] Jenxie:
Dang, then i'm stuck with a damaged GPS =( I think they'll notice that the CID is HTC__001, and the phone with PD98IMG has been tampered with =/
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Don't you have the original RUU for your phone?
