Hi to everyone. As a new proud owner of DHD ( coming from WM blueangle environment) have one or 2 questions.

My DHD running Tmobile 1.39 Android 2.2

So far I have done Visionery temp and permroot. One click S-off CID Sim Unlock all ok.

I would really like to rety 1.72 stock HTC rom , If i was to put this rom will it get OTA updates?

If I go 1.72 stock I believe I can downgrade back to 1.32 right but I have to do root soff etc again?

Or shall I just not bother and Go for Custom rom?

I know there are maybe alot of questions, but as Android noob Since I got my new phone I am just reading and maybe done too much reading in so shoty time and got really confused.

One more do I also need eng s-off?

pheeww thats all now
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
You can use a RUU to go to 1.72.405.3 stock ROM, and because you have Radio S-OFF, you will not lose it. You will lose root, however. You will get OTAs, and you can downgrade again if you want. I would just get a custom ROM, because they are so much better than stock.

You do not need ENG S-OFF if you do not plan to flash a radio.
[Desire HD Android Development] koalauk:
RUU is the .exe file right? And will RUU still update my radio ?

from here ??

http://xdafil.es/index.php?path=DesireHD/RUU/

Flashing this rom should also debrand my DHD ?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Yeah, ruu will update radio and debrand. The link is ok.
[Desire HD Android Development] koalauk:
You area gentleman sir :)

Thanks

One last question

Will I need to add APN details etc in order to my sim and HSDPA connection to work as usual? Or will it set it to my netwrok automatically ?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
If you normally need to add them, then yes. Just install the ruu and see what happens.
[Desire HD Android Development] koalauk:
Just done it :)

S-off still remained,

Now HTC stock debranded 1.72 rom and initial setup suggested to use and set it up for T-Mobile automatically.

All good :) This is exactly what I wanted Stock HTC Debranded unlocked phone :) Evantually I will re root ( downdrade first ) and flash a custom rom) but I think for what I need it for it is more than fine :)

Many thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
And actually there is a cherry on top of the cake, you do not have to run all those command line commands to downgrade because you have S-OFF. Just put the PD98IMG.zip to your SD and reboot to bootloader :)
[Desire HD Android Development] martin4321:
could anyone help trying to down grade don every thing but when i restart wrong rom or no rom message:confused:
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Format your SD to FAT32 using a Windows PC, no quick format. Then try again. You can also try another SD card.
[Desire HD Android Development] martin4321:
please help 2 days trying to downgrade same message no rom or wrong rom followed steps all seem good until i restart then same message over and over
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Well did you try what I suggested? Do you have the PD98IMG.zip in your SD card?
[Desire HD Android Development] martin4321:
help please

please help ive follewed these instruction but keep getting same message no rom or wrong rom. tried gold card same. tried formatting same again. when i finish putting in commands i go to sd card extra file there part 1 17 backup-1297037356.bin. downloaded rom from link so should be the right one. dont usually hassle people but im stumped. trying again from beginning see what happens.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Are you sure that you did a full format, no quick format? Try another SD card, and make sure that the .zip file is in the root of the SD.
[Desire HD Android Development] martin4321:
i have the rom i have formatted ive tried making gold card. try from start again. but i no what the outcome will be. hope you can help
[Desire HD Android Development] martin4321:
yes full format zip file on root of sd doing it all over to see if it works. i follow all instructions to the letter. flashed a few windows mobile devices never had a problem. iphones easy. psp easy nds easy. wii easy. andriod what a joke why lock it if they had decent roms to start with i would not bother
[Desire HD Android Development] martin4321:
help

done whole process again still the same
[Desire HD Android Development] scungilli:
Worked like a charm on a friends phone. Also goldcard making process was easy and successful.

Thx for the guide :)
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Did you try another SD? Just follow the guide to the letter, it works.
[Desire HD Android Development] martin4321:
success

thank you for your help alls gone well trying my first custom rom right now. gotta love this site
[Desire HD Android Development] :No-Frost::
I've already have rooted the stock rom, but I need a full rom to installe the 1.75 (which is 2.2.1)... Is there a way to install this rom over my previous one to be able to flash the 1.75 and then recover my data??? Without the need of a goldcard??
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
It depends on if your device is branded. If it is branded, you need to make a goldcard or get radio s-off + supercid. You will lose root when you update, so you must use mybackup pro (does not need root) to backup & restore.

You can find the 1.72.405.3 RUU here:

http://xdafil.es/index.php?path=DesireHD/RUU/
[Desire HD Android Development] :No-Frost::
I don't think my device is branded, though the CID shows HTC__044 ASIA WWE...

I will try to get the supercid, but not sure how to get it...

I've used your tool and it tells me that RADIO OFF, CID and SIM UNLOCK are done, but when I check the info in the bootloader it shows HTC__44, is there a way to get CID-111111111???
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
My radio S-OFF tool can make your device SuperCID.
[Desire HD Android Development] :No-Frost::
Thanks for your help mate, it worked like a charm :D
[Desire HD Android Development] hinz:
i already have 'ACE PVT ENG S-OFF' do I still need to do this to downgrade? or can I do a normal flash?

sorry if this has been asked before
[Desire HD Android Development] dr4go:
No, if you are already S-OFF, then you don't need to use this guide... Simply flash to a lower Rom.
[Desire HD Android Development] hinz:
cheers, appreciate quick reply :)
[Desire HD Android Development] wowserer:
question

Hi,

I would like to flash the recomended radio 26.04.07.17_M2 for my cooked ROM

I need to downgrade to get eng S.off as I am on core cell ROM with higher build.

I am rooted with Radio S-off with an umbranded unlocked phone.

Am I right in thinking all I have to do is place the stock rom.zip on your first page

on to my sd card and flash via recovery. Then I can root again and proceed with eng S-off.

I have original radio 26.03.02.26_M

Cheers guys.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
You can do it like that, or alternatively you can flash Raidroid series 1.32.405.6 in clockworkmod, it will work just fine :) You do not even have to root.

http://www.multiupload.com/RXOXTL9XGH
[Desire HD Android Development] wowserer:
wow nice one!

Thanks for your help.
[Desire HD Android Development] frottage:
I used your Easy s-off tool and it was indeed easy !

what is SUPERCID ? Will I now have it ? do I need to do anything else ?
[Desire HD Android Development] descenpet:
superCID allows you to flash any RUU. if you use jkoljo's radio s-off tool with default choice, you will have it.
[Desire HD Android Development] equlizer:
Does this method work with the Telus branded DHD? IVe heard that after rooting they loose sound. Im not sure which method they used though.

Would love to get rooted safely :D
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
It appears that any older ROMs are not compatible with the telus DHD for some reason. No process will actually break anything, but it is true that you might lose sound. If I were you, I would wait until some dev gets his dirty hands on the telus DHD.
[Desire HD Android Development] descenpet:
haven't heard of anyone losing sound or such permanently after downgrading.. you can try this and in worst case you actually lose sound then you can flash back telus RUU. :D
[Desire HD Android Development] equlizer:
The 2 that have tried that had to replace their units. They tried flashing everything and still no sound (still got sound from headphones and bluetooth though)

So just use the 1.75+ downgrade guide (do you need to make a goldcard?)

then use eng s-off?

Where is a link to the original telus dhd rom?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
I think that you have to make a goldcard, but you can first try without it. If it says incorrect CID, then just make a goldcard and go to bootloader again. You only need to run the commands once.

You can use search, you know. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=932771

If you lose sound, please first try Raidroid Telus ROM! http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=939982

Please report back with results :)
[Desire HD Android Development] descenpet:
Sounds scary.. if you will have to replace it.. lol

If you want to try downgrading then yes you will need goldcard.

There are quite a few telus ruu links here in dev forums

Edit: damn too slow typing on phone
[Desire HD Android Development] mortazavi:
UnBarnded DHD

If I don't have a branded DHD, Can I only copy PD98IMG.zip on SD card and follow the instruction? Or I should do Temproot first and after that put PD98IMG.zip on my SD card and follow instruction
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Just follow the instructions as-is, they are designed for both branded and unbranded devices. Read the first and second posts carefully.
[Desire HD Android Development] equlizer:
K well wish me luck. im gunna go buy my telus dhd. How do i know if its a branded phone or not? I dont know the diff, sorry :(

So after downgrading and eng s-off, i install the telus (already rooted) 1.84 rom or can i install other roms yet? I just dont want sense really :(
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Telus is branded afaik. I think that your only proper rom choice atm is Raidroid telus.
[Desire HD Android Development] civilization:
can i get link to download 1.72.405.3 WWE
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Why are you saying that here? This thread has nothing to do with 1.72.405.3 RUU.
[Desire HD Android Development] unit68:
all i want to do is downgrade and root on a telus dhd keeping stock rom with sense. i just want to delete apps i dont use, do i need to flash the 9d98img rom or do i just do the downgrade part then skip to rooting??

ive done the goldcard step and its working with no problems
[Desire HD Android Development] Tommyknocker75:
Thanks, i've downgraded successfully...
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Stock Telus ROM cannot be rooted, you have to downgrade and flash Raidroid stockify series rooted stock ROM.
[Desire HD Android Development] unit68:
ok so do i still fallow the downgrade steps with the PD98IMG or do i get the raidroid rom for that step?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
No, Raidroid is kind of a custom ROM, you have to go all the way.
[Desire HD Android Development] unit68:
ok thank you for your help, now to continue with downgrading :)
[Desire HD Android Development] unit68:
jkoljo, after downgrading i follow your guide [TOOL][VIDEO] One click Radio S-OFF, SimUnlock (Easy Root & S-OFF Guide) correct?

then when i get to the section about flashing a custom rom i use the Raidroid rom? or do i not use your root guide and just flash the new rom now that is rooted

Edit- ok when i boot into the recovery part (hold volume down on reboot) it searches the sd and finds the PD98IMG.zip and tries to load but keeps saying wrong image, no image found..... what am i supposed to do here? or do i not use Pd98img.zip and use 1.84.661.1zip (telus) from raiddroid ?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
You have to do S-OFF, just follow the instructions :)

Treat Raidroid like a custom ROM.
[Desire HD Android Development] unit68:
ive tried formatting the card again and copying PD98img.zip to it but i still get no image, wrong image, no image....everything else worked up untill this point..
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Did you do a full format, not a quick format? Some SD cards are simply faulty, try another one.
[Desire HD Android Development] unit68:
ok so i formated a different card put the img on it and booted, it starts to load then gives me and error invalid model id
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Check Telus no sound thread in Q&A subforum, it is a known issue that affects about half Telus DHDs.
[Desire HD Android Development] MishXT:
i did everything as it says but when i go to the bootloader, it checks the zip file i.e. the firmware file, checks that but then it says,

CID incorrect!

Update Fail!

Press <POWER> to reboot.

help!!!!!!
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Your goldcard fails. Did you use mmc2 instead of mmc1?
[Desire HD Android Development] MishXT:
you this line of the code for goldcard:

sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid

which folder does it relate to because for me it says:

sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid: No Such File or Directory
[Desire HD Android Development] unit68:
use

sys/class/mmc_host/mmc2/mmc2:*/cid
[Desire HD Android Development] MishXT:
would it still work coz the guide says mmc1 not mmc2?
[Desire HD Android Development] unit68:
Yeah the first page of this thread says to use 2 not 1 like the goldcard link
[Desire HD Android Development] equlizer:
a bit OT but is there a no-sense rom we can use yet for the telus one?:o
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
I will provide a way today to get any custom rom exept CM working, so you can use for example Android Revolution HD no-sense.
[Desire HD Android Development] trenwei:
So wait, do I need to leave the Goldcard plugged in? Or can I remove after downgrading?

Or can I just use my main sd card for the whole thing and just erase/format after?

Sorry for the noooooob questions
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
You can forget the goldcard, you no longer need it.
[Desire HD Android Development] encrypshun:
I did the same thing and have run into the exact same problem above. Do I need a goldcard? I thought goldcards were only for branded devices. I have an unbranded DHD but I flashed it using

RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.72.405.3_R_Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_release_161342_signed.exe
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
If you get CID incorrect, then you need a goldcard.
[Desire HD Android Development] encrypshun:
Thanks for the quick response, do I use mmc2 in this command?

adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid

so the new command would be

adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc2/mmc2:*/cid
[Desire HD Android Development] samuelong87:
just a quick noob check, will this break my permroot? Im already rooted by Visionary. So which step should i start with?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Yes, just like that.

Why are you reading this topic when you have permroot?? Do not follow this. Downgrading is only for new HTC Desire HD phones that _cannot_ be rooted.
[Desire HD Android Development] samuelong87:
oh my. then how do i flash radio? I cant seem to do radio S-Off with the one click tool :(
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
It would help to know a bit about your current situation. If you are using a custom ROM, no wonder it does not work. Flash Raidroid 1.32.405.6, and try again :)
[Desire HD Android Development] samuelong87:
im already on revolution hd 2.011. So i just flash raidroid like any custom rom, use the one click tool, flash radio and then restore my revolution hd rom?
[Desire HD Android Development] encrypshun:
Mad mad props to those who figured out this process. Honestly, if I feel this good after struggling with my DHD for the last 12 hours, I can only imagine how good those who figured it out, feel about themselves.

I can actually feel myself breathe having come slightly closer to the end of my rooting journey.
[Desire HD Android Development] ptulluri:
can i use these steps on newly released AT&T HTC Inspire.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Install android SDK, put your Inspire to bootloader>fastboot state and go to SDK/platform-tools/ folder in command line prompt. Then type:

And give me the results, then I can tell you :)
[Desire HD Android Development] encrypshun:
I have a follow up question, immediately after I've downgraded to 1.32.405.6 as per the instructions in the first thread, do I need to install another official RUU such as RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.3_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.15_M3_release_155032_signed.zip or can I immediately install a custom ROM such as Android Revolution.

Reason I'm asking is that I've done S-OFF and Radio S-OFF and even installed ROM Manager, but everytime I flash CWM and reboot into recovery, I get the image of the phone with a red triangle next to it.

Any clues?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
No you do not have to install another RUU. Go to bootloader and verify that you have S-OFF. Rom manager has a bug, that causes CWM flashing fail sometimes, just try and try it again.
[Desire HD Android Development] encrypshun:
Thanks, I imagine getting into bootloader would be holding down vol button + power button. Problem is I keep getting the image of a phone with a red triangle when I do so.

I've highlighted the problem here on this page - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=11376781&posted=1#post11376781

But thanks for taking the time to reply anyhow.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Take your battery out, put it back in, then hold vol- & hold power button.
[Desire HD Android Development] encrypshun:
I've done that so many times, when I do get into the boot screen, it doesn't give me an option to load from SD Card. If I select recovery, the screen goes off and gives me the red triangle image. There is nothing I can do after that besides pulling the battery out again.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Well did you check the S-OFF like I told you? It is in the first line. Then go to Android, and flash ClockworkMod recovery again using Rom manager.
[Desire HD Android Development] encrypshun:
Yes I went into the boot screen and it says

Ace Pvt ENG S-OFF

HBOOT-0.85.8007 (PD9810000)

I'll go into Android and try CMW 3.0 with Rom Manager.
[Desire HD Android Development] encrypshun:
Ok this is what I did.

- Reset the phone

- Boot back into Android

- Downloaded Visionary from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=857537

- Open Visionary and tapped temproot, screen showed it was rooting, became blank and unresponsive. Hit the home screen, launched Visionary again, tapped temproot and a couple of minutes later, went back to the visionary screen

- Tapped Permroot, it asked me that the program was asking for rights, I allowed it, device rebooted.

- Downloaded Rom Manager 3 from here http://mirror1.kanged.net/recoveries/

- Fired it up, flashed clockworkmod recovery, said current recovery clockworkmod 2.5.13, latest clockworkmod 2.5.13

This is where I'm getting stuck i.e. I can't get CWM to version 3.0

Just so you know, I had originally installed 3.0 but ran into major hurdles trying to get Cyanogen on it and used the command prompt to downgrade to version 2.5.13. (This thread)Is that's what causing my problems?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
It should not be the problem that you have messed with your recovery. I suspect that the issue is in your Rom manager, get it from Android market.
[Desire HD Android Development] encrypshun:
thats actually the main problem that I am trying to fix, I am unable to setup my google account/market place up and running in the first place, which is why I'm jumping through all these hoops :(
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Why not upgrade to CWM 3 via fastboot command line then?
[Desire HD Android Development] encrypshun:
You are an absolute star. However the thought came to mind when I did my last post and I already upgraded CWM to version 3 (I luckily had the img file from before). I upgraded it and this time I DID get the option to boot from SD card. I loaded up revolution and I was scared ****less when it was rebooting thinking now it's going to fail and I'm going to see the red triangle again. but nope, after sitting on the HTC screen for a bit, Android came up.

What a weight is off my shoulders :)

Next step is to try and see if market place will load, which has been the bane of my problems.
[Desire HD Android Development] encrypshun:
sadly, it still doesn't work.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Did you do a full wipe? Try clearing market data.
[Desire HD Android Development] encrypshun:
I do appreciate you willing to help even though this isn't a problem that is connected to this thread. But to answer your questions, yes I did go into SD & PHone Storage and did a Factory Data Reset from there. I also went into Applications and cleared the market data but still nothing.

I don't know if this matters but I am using this device as wifi only.
[Desire HD Android Development] encrypshun:
I fixed the problem http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=11383690#post11383690

turns out I need a sim, which is absolutely retarted.

Thank you for this...I am using the Telus Desire HD; and followed the Telus downgrade guide you helped make, except I followed your advice and used gold card helper, visionary, and your eng s-off and radio swiss knife tools. The telus guide had a major typo in it; right before "adb reboot bootloader" the version number was incorrect! Thank goodness I checked your thread's adb commands and noticed the typo. I tried your rom, which is great...but had to flash stock raidroid rooted rom because the sound even with your kernel fix was really tinny and awful. Anyways, thank you again, and I hope we get a kernel source so we can release this beast sooner than later!

i think the people who are posting replies like they are successful with this method have unbranded mobiles,

can someone help me regarding what should i do now? and i still have the warranty or not? as its just 5 days old with no insurance,
