yes, the image is on the root of the sdcard. from what you are telling i understand that the rom flashing should start on its own?!?

Now is checking the image...with the green lines.

Checking ...[PD98IMG.zip] with a golden bar... and back to the HBOOT... what should i do from here? I have these options: FASTBOOT, RECOVERY, FACTORY RESET, SIMLOCK and IMAGE CRC
[Desire HD Android Development] orsye:
guys? anyone?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Tomah, check that your usb debugging is enabled and htc sync is installed on your pc.

Atre, it seems that it does not like your SD. After checking it should ask whether you want to flash.

Orsye, do you have the pd98img in your sd root? Try another SD. If the command line stuff did not work, it should still complain about mainver or cid.
[Desire HD Android Development] zepretender:
Can I make this operation if I use Revolution HD rom ?? Because I don't remember what kind of S-OFF I've done... (but I can flash radios)
[Desire HD Android Development] stezo2k:
Can i use this guide to downgrade from 1.4? reason i ask is because I can't downgrade using RUU + gold card
[Desire HD Android Development] mwatson:
is it east to go back to 1.72?

i only downgraded to see if the sd card would stop dismounting but its still doing it. So.. it has to go back to HTC for repair. I obviously need to return it in a state that doesn't void the varanty.

Thanks

Mark
[Desire HD Android Development] stezo2k:
Ignore my question :) I decided to give it a go and downgrade from 1.4 and it works brilliantly :D it also debranded my phone. Awesome guide, thank you so much
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
You mean easy..? Yeah, just flash 1.72 RUU.

Any S-OFF will do, just put the pd98img to your SD card and reboot to bootloader.
[Desire HD Android Development] zepretender:
(I'm not english and I try to understand) :

if I'm on RevoHD, I just need to enter in recovery mode and flash pd98img.zip (after a full format, I guess) ? No need to use ADB or the first part of the procedure ?
[Desire HD Android Development] mwatson:
If i flash back to 1.72 will HTC know i've been tampering. Need to know as I have to send back under warranty. Or, if I keep it on 1.32 will they know about the downgrade process and then say my warranty is void?

Thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] hedgehog123:
Thanks for that, i tried with mmc2, created the gold card and was able to downgrade and root my phone.:D

Cheers
[Desire HD Android Development] guinnes.s:
As the 1.72 update been pull out by HTC ?im s-off and eng s-off and system update says that there is not updates thanx
[Desire HD Android Development] zepretender:
I ask my question again.

I'm on Revolution HD,

I'm S-OFF (En S-OFF in bootloader)

I don't now if I'm superCID

...

How can I use this utilitie ?

only flash the pd98img.zip in CWD or make the whole procedure ?
[Desire HD Android Development] orsye:
yep, it did work, cheers mate!..
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
No need to go to recovery, just put the PD98IMG.zip to your SD and reboot to the bootloader. It will ask you whether you want to flash :)
[Desire HD Android Development] zepretender:
Ok, but do I need to do the "ADB" stuff first ? (command line, etc.)
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Nope, because you have S-OFF.
[Desire HD Android Development] Jason Black:
Well ill just post here so I can find the thread when I need it.

[Desire HD Android Development] zepretender:
Ok... if I flash that zip, root and S-OFF will disappear so I can use One-Click tool to Radio S-OFF, SuperCID, etc. ?

(I want to make sure I've understood !)
[Desire HD Android Development] frozenblade:
my phone wont connect to HTC sync now?
[Desire HD Android Development] zepretender:
I used this tool to S-OFF my device :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=835746

I want to revert to stock rom, erase all root and S-OFF information and use the easy radio tool instead.

Understood ?
[Desire HD Android Development] danber76:
Hi folks...

do is need the goldcard for further installations? I have a (german) vodafone-branded dhd with 1.75.161.2 and want to install android revolution. and i'm a n00b ;-)

sorry for my english
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Root will go away (use Visionary again), but Radio S-OFF etc will stay. That is the magic of Radio S-OFF :)

After you downgraded? This process should not affect your Sync settings in any way. Please check that you enable HTC Sync mode when you connect.

Then you can just use the zip as I explained (put it to SD and reboot to bootloader), and then use my radio tool to S-ON your device & apply stock CID.

After you downgrade & S-OFF, you will no longer need a Goldcard. The radio tool sets your CID (Carrier Identification) to 11111111, thus removing Vodaphone limitations.
[Desire HD Android Development] boundish:
where do i get the ´ADB drivers for my dhd

?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
When you install HTC Sync, you will get them. The other way is to install Android SDK, this must be done if you are running linux.
[Desire HD Android Development] bhuwan1990:
great. thanks :)
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
You would have found a solution in the second post :)

Your SD card is not accessible. Check that you are in Charge only mode. Try with some android file explorer that you can perform file operations in the card while the phone is connected to PC.
[Desire HD Android Development] boundish:
i got error opening bacup file when i did

cd /data/local/tmp/

./misc_version -s 1.31.405.3
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
See second post.
[Desire HD Android Development] boundish:
still getting the error after setting to charge only , but my sdcard appears to be working fine?

any idea

?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Well did you try to open some file manager and move a file from one place in the SD to another just before running misc_version?
[Desire HD Android Development] boundish:
sucsess! can i use visionary+ now ?

:-)
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Cool! May I ask what was wrong?

Yes you can now use Visionary, and any S-OFF method :)
[Desire HD Android Development] andywright1982:
just trying now. fingers crossed!
[Desire HD Android Development] envoy_467:
well i tried to use Visionary r-14 after downgrade but i cant root the device.. any idea?
[Desire HD Android Development] dr4go:
Nobody can help you with so little information you provided... Which radio, which kernel, what does the device do when you try to get temporary root?
[Desire HD Android Development] danber76:

Cannot boot into recovery

Hi,

downgraded, rooted and s-off my DHD using this thread's info.

Installed ROM Manager, used it to flash ClockWork recovery.

Now, whenever I try to boot into recovery, all I get is a red phone icon with an exclamation mark on it. I can reboot, all works, only recovery and therefore custom rom install is not.

Any idea why?

Thanks.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Tomkarb, the rom manager has a bug, flashing cwm again will fix it.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Sorry I did not understand what you are asking, make sure that you follow goldcard creation instructions correctly.

[Desire HD Android Development] adanoss:
Finally I'm FREEEE!!!)))

Just made it carefully, step-by-step, with my Vodafone'd DHD with WWE 1.72))

Goldcard works just fine. Made it from stock microSDHC class2 by Samsung, by connecting DHD to BB as external storage. Prepare it in the very first step.

Looks like it's important to make all steps from the beginning if you got some update errors and rebooted your device.
[Desire HD Android Development] jt_seven:
In wich mode I should connect the DHD, before I type the code in cmd.exe?
[Desire HD Android Development] robE9:

I also have temproot, now just wait for the rom to be downloaded... 300 MB at 50 kB/s takes looooonnggg :-( The guide says I need to use RUU, what is it and can it run on linux?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Linux compatible package uploading! It will also shorten the guide quite a bit :)
[Desire HD Android Development] RanC1d:
i did all steps and got temproot and copied the zip file to my sd card.

but after the crc check of the update i get: Main Version is older! Update Fail!

any ideas?

[Desire HD Android Development] jabok:
After the line "Patching and backing up partition 17..." I got "Error opening backup file."

Got the # and everything seemed fine up til then.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
jabok: Your SD card is the problem. Please use Charge only connection.

I am now uploading the PD98IMG.zip to MultiUpload, it will shorten the guide quite a bit.
[Desire HD Android Development] stefan8bc:
Too bad... I couldn't get the adb shell to work under windows 7, with ubuntu it worked like a charm :-) Is it possible to execute the commands under linux, then use RUU on a different pc running windows?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
It is possible, but a ready PD98IMG is now uploading, so if you wait for an hour, you will not need a windows pc.

[Desire HD Android Development] DonPanda:
Hm seems that all users get it, but i does not. RUU is the new rom i want to flash, correct? :D
[Desire HD Android Development] dr.m0x:
Make sure you get radio s-off as a safety net.

[Desire HD Android Development] ladieslova:
Quick question: Why exactly do we need a GoldCard?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Because if your device is branded, it will normally not allow you to install HTC WWE roms, like the PD98IMG.zip I uploaded. That is a security measure to keep people from unbranding their devices.
[Desire HD Android Development] boundish:
the phone had some how stuck as a drive so i disconnected and connected it again ,did the whole process over again and it worked

the only issue now is that after i permrooted with visionary+ ( all root apps ive tried works) it still shows s-on in the boot menu . i dont know why this happens .
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Because Visionary only gives you root, not S-OFF. For S-OFF you need to use one of my tools or any other method.
[Desire HD Android Development] boundish:
i tried your radio s-off tool , but i just says unknown error probably connection what wrong:s?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Do you have:

- HTC Sync in your PC

- Permroot

- Usb debugging enabled

- Connection charge only
[Desire HD Android Development] boundish:
yes i have
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Reinstall the HTC Sync and try another PC (driver issue). You could also try with wifi on. Keep your screen on and watch for SuperUser request.
[Desire HD Android Development] boundish:
will try that :-) , what does sim unlock do ,?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
It will allow you to use any sim card if you have carrier locked phone.

It does not do anything to unlocked phone.
[Desire HD Android Development] boundish:
it worked it now show s-off :D

amazing work from you ! making these tools and guides thank you very much :D
[Desire HD Android Development] tomah:

Got Build Number 1.32.405.3 ! worked PERFECT for me :) just followed all your instructions, thanks a lot!
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
It is working for everyone else when they just follow instructions.. I would try another computer if I were you. There must be something wrong in your PC. Try to download the downgrade package again, it might be corrupted.
[Desire HD Android Development] -GJ-:
Works perfectly till I get to the bootmenu. It loads the .zip with a blue bar to the right side of the screen. When the bar is full, it gets replaced with a brown bar and when that bar is full, I just see the bootmenu with FASTBOOT, RECOVERY, IMAGE CRC etc. When I do reboot my phone, it's still version 1.72 and not 1.32. What am I doing wrong?

edit: Downloaded the 1.32 .zip again and it still doesn't work. Tried it like 6 times already and I keep having 1.72. What the hell am I doing wrong?

edit 2: Tried it with a RUU file and still got the same result.

i've tried RECOVERY, but the phone hang....

please help me out.

Thanks in advance....:confused:
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Make sure that the PD98IMG.zip is in SD card root. You could try formatting the SD and putting just the PD98IMG.zip there. Sometimes big SD cards do not want to work, but I have had success with both 8 gb and 4 gb cards.
[Desire HD Android Development] areenahmed:
thanks for ure advise.

ive tried with a 2 gb SanDisk and 8gb Samsung SD card.

Now its says the "CID is incorrect", maybe problem with(creating) goldcard?

[Desire HD Android Development] Baggyb:
Installing Stock RUU after downgrade.

Hi,

I followed this guide with no problems.

I then decided to root my phone with the desire to use custom ROMS (no pun intended!)

I used Visionary and installed CWR using ROM manager from the market.

Once I had achieved this I wanted to make sure I could return to stock from HTC.

I selected unroot (may not be necessary) and tried to install "RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.3_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.15_M3_release_155032_signed"

My device was originally unbranded. However the install fails once the device is rebooted, the device sits on a HTC splash screen until I perform a battery pull.

The bootloader fails and the software times out. Is there anyway back to stock HTC for me?

Regards
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Yeah, a problem with goldcard..

It is a known HTC bug, RUUs sometimes do not work. You have to flash the stock rom by PD98IMG.zip. It can be extracted from a RUU, it (rom.zip) appears to your PC's temp folder when you run the RUU.
[Desire HD Android Development] Baggyb:
Thanks I just tried again and realised that the clockwork Mod recovery is still on the device (v2.5.1.3)

Would this be why it is not installing? Are you aware of an method to remove this?

Thanks for your quick response at such a late hour!
[Desire HD Android Development] -GJ-:
Tried it with the 8 GB card that came with my phone and a 2 GB card and still no result. Keeps saying "Same image" or "Wrong image". On the 8 GB card it does find the image and checks it (hence the brown bar) but after that, I just get the bootloader menu.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
You could try to put the PD98IMG.zip from the first post to your SD and flashing it in bootloader, it is the same thing as 1.32 RUU.

Try to format your SD card.
[Desire HD Android Development] MariusOX:
Just tested the downgrade on a friends phone, and to put it this way. He came from 1.72 and are now running CM7-RC0-PNK14 ;D

Thanks alot jkoljo!
[Desire HD Android Development] areenahmed:
Finally......Downgrade the DesireHD :)

Now trying the S-Off

Thanks people for the advise.....
[Desire HD Android Development] dislabled:
So at this stage, you have temproot.

What does this next command do exactly?
[Desire HD Android Development] Baggyb:
Thank you jkoljo you were right on the money with this post. I was unable to flash a specific RRU. I tried another and it worked first time.

Now to re-root!

Thanks again
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
It changes the rom version so that your device will accept 1.32 rom as an "update" to the current one.
[Desire HD Android Development] d19375:
I need help... I'm new to the DHD and I can not get the "cd Downgrade" part to run properly. I get an error saying the "system cannot file the path specified". What am I doing wrong? I have my phone debugg on and on charge only mode. Thanks.

[Desire HD Android Development] armen16:
What do you mean by "Open up a cmd and go to Downgrade folder, execute:" ?

I tried experimenting on the computer since I don't have my Desire HD yet but I can't go to the Downgrade folder.

I saw the attached image file.

These are the things I did.

1. Open CMD

2. cd Downgrade

but it stays the same but yours change with a Downgrade at the end I also downloaded the attached downgrade zip and made sure I extracted it.

Thank you.

I think I got it few days ago but trying again to perfect it and make sure nothing will go wrong.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Cd is a command that opens a folder in a folder you currently are in. If you extract it to desktop, in my case I would have typed

cd desktop

cd downgrade

Or if it is directly in C, you can also go there by:

cd C:\downgrade
[Desire HD Android Development] furrypotato:
Anyone having a problem getting to Downgrade folder in windows, navigate to the folder in Windows that contains the 'Downgrade' folder.

Then, hold down the shift key and right click on 'Downgrade' folder - You'll get an option along the lines of ' OPen a comnand windows in folder'

This will open up a CMD window already in the Downgrade folder.
[Desire HD Android Development] d19375:
ok I can get into the downgrade folder, I had it on my desktop and I was trying to find it in c: without mapping it correctly. Now I have an issue that my pc isn't finding the device. I type in the first line of commands and I get an error that mt device is not found. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Do you have HTC Sync installed?
[Desire HD Android Development] d19375:
I feel like an idiot. I must have read the instructions about 20 times and when I read that I thought on my phone... I went to the site and got it. Everything is great now thanks. Sorry for all my questions that could have been avoided!

[Desire HD Android Development] AndyCr15:
Where will I be able to check if this has actually worked?

Thanks.

**EDIT** Is it normal that windows can't open the PD98IMG.zip? Say's it's invalid. I've downloaded from two different sources.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Settings > About > Software information. The build number should change to 1.32.x. It is normal, you should not touch PD98IMG because it is signed, and a bad zip program might ruin it.
[Desire HD Android Development] tatsumasagc:
I got to the bootloader what do i do now?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
It will ask you whether you want to flash. If it does not, the zip or SD card is faulty. Try downloading zip again and formatting your SD card.
[Desire HD Android Development] Onepagebook:
sorry I have question,

I followed all the instruction correctly and get # certainly before reboot, also got into bootloader,

but after load the zip,

the bootloader told me

"CID incorrect!

would anyone tell me what's wrong?

Thanks very much for the help!
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Did you remember to use mmc2 when making goldcard?
[Desire HD Android Development] Onepagebook:
I had mmc1 and 2 all can't find the directory but use mmc0 let me made that :)

With mmc0 it does not work. Please try again, follow the instructions carefully. Both mmc's should be replaced to mmc2.
[Desire HD Android Development] goran60:
Since it appears downgrade the DHD, I read everything written about it and I can not figure out what I should do that. since I am a beginner with Android does not understand what to do and many comments on this subject are contradictory (the success to the total failure). My DHD is not locked, and I understand not need me goldcart. It would be very good for someone who knows this and make some video tutorials and screenshots with the least step by step. Believe me, it really helps and clarifies all (say it because I've made a lot of tutorials for Symbian and realized that a beginner can do this only if it is a visual experience)

Advance grateful to someone who will do it!

Hey. Sorry for my incompetence. Bought a new sd card today, 2gb sandisk, smallest they had at the shop. htc sync and android sdk is installed, but i still have this problem (picture).
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Format is the only way if the ROM is in the card's root. Use a PC to format it to FAT32.

Seems like you did not follow the instructions correctly. Did you use mmc2 instead of mmc1 in the command?

Are you connecting charge only?
