Hello
How do I do s-off and root for my desire hd?
I have tried hard but failed attempts that applied to two
Android is version 2.3.5
I was frustrated by the failure of all attempts
Is there a way I use to lift the protection device?
Thank you in advance​

Did you "read the effen manual" as you are advised multiple times to do? It really is important. Making sure you aren't running any antivirus is quite important too.
The ACE Hack Kit includes all you need to root your phone. And it does it all for you with very little user input.

I'm having the same issue, I have read the effen manual at least 10 times, tried the chat support and got no reply, then got banned.
I have followed all instructions to the letter yet my downgrade is still failing.
Any one have any ideas?

The Hack Kit works great....and I would like to know why you were banned for....we try to help all the people that get stuck....and we actually do, so if you were banned, you probably didn´t follow the instructions...
By the way, what is the issue u are having?

You could try to change SD card and try to run aahk on a ubuntu live CD.

what the last state of your phone..?, is that already success downgrade by that script..?, or what..?
becuse what i know is...the script needed running twice step process if your phone is already had gingerbread os..
1. first the script need running for downgrade it your phone to froyo version..
2. running that script again for continued processing gaining s-off if the first downgrade process is already success..
what i know is that AAHK script is already retried...
the best way you can try is using AAHK2 script by Phiber2000 from here..
but before that...you must read carefully the guide from that thread..what requirement and compatible for running that script correctly...
hope this can help..

it can be you're had the wrong img downgrade RUU file..or you had bad sd card..
to fix that..you must download the correct RUU file (PD98IMG-GBX.zip) for downgrade process..that are suitable with your CIDnum of your phone...
to do that..you must check it your phone CIDnum with fastboot command "fastboot getvar all" then you will see your CIDnum in the output of the command is in the line "INFO CIDNUM XXXXXXXX.."
example : if your CIDNUM is HTC__044 then the downgrade RUU file you must download is "PD98IMG-GB6.zip" file
if your RUU file for downgrade is already correct but AAHK still fail..then you can try using different sd card..
did you already try using AAHK2 script by Phiber2000 from the link that i give it to you above or still using AAHK first version..?

my bad!

just do not rename it that file..lets try just ignore it what AAHK2 say's...firstly just remove PD98IMG-GB2.zip file from PD98IMG folder (AAHK2 sub folder) that you try already using it before..and just put it your new PD98IMG-GB9.zip to PD98IMG folder under AAHK2 script sub folder..and try running that script again..don't forget to disable your antivirus first before running AAHK2 script..
and just don't forget to using sd card brand that are mentioned from the AAHK2 thread it self..like Sandisk, ADATA, Samsung, Patriot Memory (this is important)
just let me know..can you show me screen shot while running that AAHK2 script process..

Thank youu! IT worked!
thank you for helping.!
I manually copied the zip file to SD card and i locked boot loader, then i boot it with hboot and hoot recognised PD98IMG.ZIP and it flashed automatically. then i run old AAHK(NOT AAHK2) and IT WORKED!
THANK YOU!

[Q] DHD rooting/flashing issues

Hi folks,
Have been going round in circles trying to root and flash my mate's DHD. I've been reading various threads and trying various methods but to no avail.
His DHD was originally on Froyo 2.2 and he took the T-Mobile OTA update to 2.3 w/Sense 3.0 when it was rolled out. As I understand it, it must be downgraded back to 2.2 before we can get full root access?
I've installed SDK on my PC and have been able to push tacoroot and misc_version to the phone. However, when running tacoroot, it reboots to go into recovery and I get the red triangle with the exclamation mark. The phone won't boot into recovery manually either. I've already done a factory reset to see if that helped, but no joy.
What am I doing wrong? Should the phone be able to access recovery completely stock? I never had this much hassle with my Desire - can't believe the DHD is such a pain in the backside. He has the phone with him now (he needs it tomorrow) but we're going to re-attempt tomorrow afternoon.
Am I doing things in the right order? Why do I keep getting the red triangle when trying to go into recovery?
Your help would be much appreciated!

well, as far as i remember you need to downgrade to 1.32 specifically.
and another thing, have you tried using advanced hack kit? it is pretty much one click solution, but can be tricky if the pc it runs from is not compleatly clean.

Try this on an Ubuntoo live CD, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1259821
worked like a charm for me..

I'm running Windows and followed the Hack Kit instructions to the letter. We're making more progress than before, but have run into the following problem:

Edit: Although I don't think it's a Windows issue, I'm downloading the Ubuntu live disc and will try it with that.

You have a couple of issues from the output you posted. In the beginning it couldn't find the zergrush files to temp root. This leads me to believe it was a bad download of kit. Did you verify the md5 for file integrity? And the second was an error with the SD card. You might want to try a different one
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA

Checked the MD5 - came back fine. Have swapped the SD card for another one - formatted to FAT32 with nothing else on it.
Will re-run.
Still downloading the Ubuntu disc (!) so will try that in a mo if a re-run with a new SD card doesn't work.
Thanks for the input, much appreciated!
Edit: Exactly the same issue again. Will try it under Ubuntu.

That doesn´t seem to be an sdcard issue. Download the Kit again and extract it all in the same folder...The cases experiencing your issue are mostly for missing files in the hack kit.
Look this in the code you pasted: "...cannot open 'tools/bin/zergRush': No such file or directory..."

I guessed the issue with the missing files but he said the md5 check out.
I mention the SD card because of the line of error writing to mmcblk1. After the line creating goldcard, but you spend more time helping out in the irc to know better than me

Anyone used it on the ion yet? Did you just choose the #2 option? I just did this on my Xperia P (LT22) and it worked like a charm. Make sure if you have a backup through the ICS backup & restore app you move it to the removeable SD card or back it up first onto your computer as this process will erase any backups stored on internal memory.
NOTE: On my Xperia P it didn't remove the previous backup I had sooooo...just backup your backup just in case

I for one would love a nice custom ROM for the Ion. Something lightweight, fast, battery optimisations. I loved the Android Revolution HD custom ROMs for my HTC Incredible S. The guy took stock roms and did what HTC should have done: made them fast, efficient, and awesome

I may just port [email protected]'s Xperia S rom since the phones are nearly the same.

I had been wondering about that. The phone have very few differences. The ones of note are the different radio and that the Ion has an SD slot. Aside from that I think it's all the same guts.

tried this method with the version 6 (Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v6) everything went smoothly and finished,
with the command prompt saying:
"You can close all open command-prompts now!
After reboot all is done! have fun!
Bin4ry
Press any key to continue..."
but when i run "Roor Checker" : Sorry! this device does not have proper root access"

i am so confused, there is no backup and restore, i mean i see it in all apps but there is no app i can open on my phone D: using the sony ics update why cant i find backups?

You should have installed an app called Back up and restore, once it gets to that point you go to your phone Leaving it plugged into the pc and leaving the CMD window open, open the app and click restore, it should say it failed on your phone but the CMD says it worked it should reboot twice and you should be G2G

Download Flash tool and the 105 FtF flash it to your phone, Superuser is gone, put your phone back on Flashtool and click the Lock, youll now have SuperSU instead, when Superuser updates it stopped working, for me at least.

The phone is runnignt 4.0.4

i don't know much about at&t version, but it seems like if you want to use this root method, you will need to downgrade your firmware in order to get root.

Thanks for the answer but ya after beating my head up beside the wall I found a post that was talking about restoring to a older software .. Thank you tho

you have to be on H or F, i forget which.
If you did an OTA, you're going to have to flash a kdz and roll back. there was another topic on this already some where.

[Q] motochopper not working on 4.2.2

I OTA updated to 4.2.2 I believe and am now on M919UVUAMDL which I think is the primary root of my issues if I have read correctly. I used ODIN and tried to put both the TWRP and CWM recovery files for root on their and it didn't work, I then tried using the setUIDrestrictRemovedKernel thingamajig to fix this issue but that doesn't seem to work either, then I tried motochopper 1.1 to root the device and it failed at the root. I have factory restored and tried again individually on these processes and to no avail.

So I just got rom manager and want to test my titanium backup restore.zip but it says I have to have cwm recovery first, do I already have it through the root method you gave or do I need to do that as well. Also if I flash a new mod on my phone do I need to ensure the titanium backup is on the sd card or will it remain on the device? :flamethrower:
