^^ Oh Sh*t. Sorry about that. Fixed the guide again. Thanks again guys. If any more problems with the guide please let me know. I don't want to "root" peoples phones (Aussie slang for "f*ck"). I want to "unroot" them. :rolleyes: heh heh :D

Also if you wanna see some video's I put together on the Desire HD "death grip" reception issue. Have a look at this link:

I should have also said before, that this is an awesome guide!

It always makes me feel better to know someone has already done this before I try. :)
[Desire HD Android Development] Yoshi_523:
I have now included my own backups of the original HBoot and Recovery images from a newly replaced (stock Vodafone) Desire HD. I have edited the guide to include these image files along with the correct commands for these file names.

I fixed an error I wrote regarding copying the recovery and hboot image files to a folder named "sdcard" on the MicroSD card when the phone is connected to your PC. The two files need to be in the base (otherwise called root) folder of the MicroSD card.

Hi

Thanks for going to all the trouble here but i am running into a problem.

I get to the restore stage however once i run the zip file i get "MD5 Mismatch" and nothing has changed.

Has anyone else come to this hurdle?

Can anyone offer a solution?

Much appreciated.

getting Permission denied even with root

Hi fantastic guide, one small problem i cant get adb shell to work. I get the Permission denied error from su even after perma root any ideas?

Disregard this post. I fixed my problem 1 min after posting, I used my own backup to recover from and this had superuser app installed which i needed to allow adb to have permission from the app popup.

hey there

I have a question,not sure if OP/anyone is here to answer.

I loaded into my bootloader > system info as below

SN -

LCD-

Touch Panel -

Commit

OS ver. - 1.32.178.5

IMEI

CID - VODAP021

RAM- 768MB

eMMC

Now the question is i looked at the original stated in OP, it is exactly the same as my os version, same with the CID. So do i just need to do the "PUTTING BACK STOCK HBOOT & ENG S-ON" onwards? and put back original radio?

I rooted and im using Miui Rom with latest 4.11 radio.

MD5 Errors

Hi Guys,

I'm also getting MD5 errors when I try to flash the rom from here http://depositfiles.com/files/3x1c6v6hj.

The filename is Ace_Vodafone_AU_1.32.178.5_Radio_12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M_BACKUP.zip

Do I need to remove the BACKUP part or something to make the MD5 hash fit?

Getting freaked out here cause I need to return the phone, am stuck in bootloop and can't seem to get back to working phone.

Any help would be VERY much appreciated.

Mike.
[Desire HD Android Development] Mountaineer:
Extract the contents of the zip into /clockworkmod/backup/stockrom/.

Then delete the nandroid.md5 file.

Then use md5sum to recreate it like this:

md5sum *img > nandroid.md5

To the naked eye, the md5 sums appeared to be the same to me, but obviously they were different.

Hi guys I need help getting my Rom back to stock!

I'm on Three Australia and this is what HTC told me to get my phone to;

• Firmware version: 2.3.3

• HTC Sense version: 2.1

• Baseband version: 12.54.60.25U_26.09.04.11_M2

• Kernel version: 2.6.35.10-gd2564fb htc-kernel@and18-2 #1

• Build number: 2.50.861.4 CL91002 Release-keys

• Software version: 2.50.861.4

I was wondering if someone could link me to the apporpriate files? :(

The representative also said it was a "vodafone-customized" rom (so not three).

I was thinking whether or not I could go to an older vodafone rom then just update to the latest (which I think is what they want me on)

Thanks in advance guys!

[Desire HD Android Development] twisted.au:
I was going to go through this process this weekend. I just wanted to confirm, that the first post is still accurate and up to date? I'm on HTC's stock WWE RUU, details below.

Android version 2.3.3

Build number 2.50.405.2 CL87995

Baseband version 12.54.60.25U_26.09.04.11_M2

Should be any issues going back to stock Voda image from that?
[Desire HD Android Development] Sonnyhood:
This guide was made before the GB update OTA was available.

First time you connect the phone to wifi it will download the latest Carrier update.

which will be 2.3.3 + 2.50.405.2 CL87995

...when I try to restore the stock Vodafone rom using rom manager, I get error message saying the md5 is missing?? Any help??
[Desire HD Android Development] twisted.au:
Hi All,

I'm stuck on this step here.

I start the restore in ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.2 (MoDaCo r2) and I get the following message.

Checking MD5 sums...

MD5 mismatch!

I'm not really sure how to get around this? I'm using the ZIP file from the first post: Ace_Vodafone_AU_1.32.178.5_Radio_12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M_BACKUP.zip

Also to get here I followed the following process from the first post.

1. IF LOCKED OUT USING 1.72.405.3 THEN USE THE DOWNGRADE PROCEDURES (to downgrade from 2.3.3).

2. HAVE INSTALLED FULL ROOT ACCESS & HBOOT

(CLOCKWORK RECOVERY, CUSTOM HBOOT, ENG S-OFF & VISIONARY+)

3. INSTALL STOCK VODAFONE (AU) ROM << this is where I am now..

Also the bootloader currently says:

ACE PVT ENG S-OFF

HBOOT-0.85.2007 (PD980000)

MICROP-0438

RADIO-26.03.02.26_M

eMMC-boot

it seems alot of messing around tbh last time i had a problem i was on froyo 1.72 i just ran the original ruu the one that came with the phone when i first got it and it went through just fine then temp root and started hacking again
[Desire HD Android Development] twisted.au:
Unfortunately no Vodafone Australia RUU available. I'm trying to restore the Vodafone image for warranty purposes. I think I'm close, just a matter of getting this ClockworkMod backup working.
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
i see i was lucky had stock uk version by the way regarding this CHECKING / INSTALLING STOCK RADIO

it would be more simple just to put

get radio The stock radio that ships from Vodafone that matches this ROM is I believe 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M.

then follow this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=896597
[Desire HD Android Development] twisted.au:
Ah, I think I have it.

"Create a folder on you micro SD card such as "stockrom" as follows: "/clockworkmod/backup/stockrom/" then copy the zip file there."

Should really be extract the contents of the ZIP file to the stockrom directory. After doing this it appears to be going through. I'll post back with the results, but it seems to be doing stuff...and things right now.

Edit: w00t, that didn't take long. About 3 minutes. Looks like the stock Vodafone image is back on! Excellent, now to just put back the original hboot, radio and S-oFF or whatever...i'm sure here's where I brick my phone :P
[Desire HD Android Development] twisted.au:
Well, everything went sweet. Back to stock Vodafone ROM. I did have issues with not being able to unroot...was weird. Had no root...temp rooted with visionary+, restored hboot + restore image. Rebooted. Still had root...rebooted...still had root. Used visionary+ to unroot. Rebooted, no joy...wtf. So did a factory reset. Root gone. No idea...because I thought a factory reset didn't remove root but oh well. Fully back to stock. Just doing the OTA update to bring it to the latest version then off for warranty! Good guide.
[Desire HD Android Development] Waspanater:
I had the same problem with being unable to get rid of root! The only reason root disappears when you factory reset is because Super User is removed, if you install it again from market you get root access again. I did the OTA's but didn't have a chance to check if they removed root before sending it in to VF, however it doesn't seem to have mattered seeing as I got the phone back today fully repaired.
[Desire HD Android Development] suxelexus:
- had to repair the md5 sum using 4ext app
[Desire HD Android Development] suxelexus:
Finally got this Rom installed, now the green htc letters fade into a black screen, and stays black? why?
[Desire HD Android Development] suxelexus:
WTF!
[Desire HD Android Development] twisted.au:
Not sure, what steps did you go through to get to that point.
[Desire HD Android Development] shovett:
Thank you

brilliant stuff...so easy to do and understand. worked a treat..thanks again.:)
[Desire HD Android Development] suxelexus:
I couldn't get the from to install properly, dunno why.

---------- Post added at 04:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:59 PM ----------

First attempt, extracted from content to SD, full wipe, nandroid restore. Md5 mismatch.

2nd attempt, same as above but fixed the md5 sum via 4ext, restored. This led to the no boot past green HTC letters.

Is anyone successfully installing from zip via recovery?
[Desire HD Android Development] whokilledsanta:
Hi, just wondering if anyone can help me... (or is interested in a bricked HTC DHD for very cheap!)...

After leaving the DHD turned off for a month or so, I was surprised when I tried to turn it on and was greeted by a looping HTC logo. I can't boot to recovery either - it just gives either a black screen (entering via bootloader) or 5 vibrations and a green light (entering via power + volume up + volume down). The only menu-like screen I can get to is the bootloader...

I've tried installing a new recovery using the PD98IMG method, but with no success - I make it all the way through the update process to where it says 'press power to reboot', then it just reboots to the HTC logo and doesn't go any further (phone gets very hot while sitting at the HTC logo screen).

I can't seem to find an actual RUU.exe file for the Vodafone AU rom. I have tried the European RUU for Vodafone but can't get past the part where the RUU reboots bootloader - the phone reboots and hangs at the HTC logo.

Then, I tried the following instructions for using a PD98IMG.zip file that I created out of the European RUU:

"Download RUU.

Run it as administrator.

Tick the 'I understand the caution indicated above...' box, and click next.

At this point do not go any further.

Navigate to C:\Users\"Your Name"\AppData\Local\Temp (AppData is a hidden folder)

You should see one or two folders like this:

{719CE201-7B12-4A13-9AF6-8F359FE69C7B}

Go into the one with dotnetinstaller.exe in it.

Open up the next folder.

Copy rom.zip into another folder (outside of temp).

At this point just Cancel and quit out of the ROM Update Utility.\

Rename rom.zip to PD98IMG.zip and place it on the root of your sd-card.

Boot in Hboot."

This method seems to almost work... It says 'successful flash' or something like that then 'press power to reboot'.... Then, I'm greeted with the looping HTC logo again.

If it helps diagnosis I've attached an image of my bootloader screen:

Another point to mention is that, before this problem, the phone was running a KitKat rom that I found on XDA. It was running perfectly last time it was used. I can't remember which rom it was or the process I used to upgrade it at the time, but I'm thinking that this could be why I'm having trouble flashing RUU or PD98IMG for older Android versions? All I want to do is be able to either boot the phone up (ideally) or at least boot a recovery, then I can go from there to install the original Vodafone rom (or custom) to get the radio, etc.

I am becoming quite frustrated with this and am about to call it quits and buy a new phone for my little brother. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
[Desire HD Android Development] hacktrix2006:
Type in fastboot OEM rebootruu I think it is and see if it enter a black screen with a silver HTC logo if it does I might be able to help.

Ok so here's the deal guys. I got a new droid x had to pay 89 bucks but it's worth and I still have my old sd card. I know I backed everything up to the sd card so I want to recover all my apps, images, etc... I immediately rooted my phone and also went into droid x bootstrap to boot into recovery. Now what do I do exactly to get all my old settings from the sd card?? I did it before but I forget now. Do I need to select "wipe data/factory reset" first??

i don't know how it happened but i deleted my facebook pop notification sound. and i wanted it back. thus i got a replacement and placed it into my notifications folder on the sd and of course when i go to select it in settings, it freezes and thus requires a force close. thus i was wondering if anyone knows how i could put into the sound into the notifications folder of the phone (not the sd card) to see if that helps. Not with root explorer, cause i don't wanna buy it for this one dumb task. I was hoping to do it with terminal emulator, if someone could give me the commands. ...

also recommend a good music player cause mine keeps crashing. thanks.

[XPERIA X10 General] rabetionline:
Did you install the DT update? If so, you will be prompted that an update is available. If you do it, it will install the same ROM but you will lose ROOT and DT.

If you load back the original kernel.sin file from the .024 Global NAM firmware and run SEUS again, it will tell you have the latest software.

So dont update now by SEUS
