Hi, thanks for taking the time to read my post. Im a noob at this and would appreciate any advise you can give.
I have root on my dhd, It is branded i think as it has orange splash screen on boot and branding to the phone also.
I've followed the instructions on this forum "How to flash a custom rom on your desire HD, and not fail"
Radio S-off.................done
easy radio tool.exe.......done
Eng S-off.....................done
Ive tested as it describes:
ace pvt eng s-off .......correct
cid- 11111111 ...........corrrect
This is where my confusion begins, I've read that when trying to flash a branded phone (as mine is), you need to have a Goldcard.
Ive also read that if your phone has cid- 11111111 then there is no need for a goldcard and you can go ahead and start the flashing of your custom rom.
I intend to flash a custom rom and my current software version is 1.40.61.2 HBOOT is 0.85.2007
Can you advise please
Regards Jody
You have SuperCID, so there should be no need for a goldcard

So this means i can go ahead and flash a custom rom?
Does having superCID mean theres no need for debranding first?
Thanks Jody

You have root and s-off, your free to flash any custom rom. You only need a goldcard for stock htc roms and ota updates, but as you have superCID, you wouldnt need one for that either

Hello,
I have a Desire HD, and I am looking to root, however, I have some concerns,
(I'm hoping that a list is not too boring!)
1. I have the 1.72 update
2. I have no idea, whatsoever on how to back up my current config, without rooting my device (and possibly loosing everything)
3. How to root using visionary? ....
4. Installing ROM When finished?
5. Is there some sort of start to finish n00b proof guide?
Thanks,
T
Hi,
you're on 1.72 so you need to downgrade first.
Follow this excellent guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
After this you have 1.32.405.3 Stock firmware and you're able to root using visionary+.
Ok, so after that, could i install MIUI First, straight off?
Or do i have to go to stock first?
After downgrading and rooting, you have to set ENG S-OFF and Radio S-OFF and then you can flash MIUI.
Please read the guides @ Android Development Forums.

Hi.
i have to send my DHD back to HTC because my power button died. If you have any advice how to fix that I'd be grateful but that's not the main issue.
I have eng S-Off and and the following rom:
12.28e.60.140fU_26.04.02.17_M2
can you tell me how to set my phone back to S-ON and to stock radio?
I have a backup of the stock rom, if i need it.
Thanks in advance.
Flash a stock Rom ruu

I flashed:
RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.72.405.3_R2_Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_SF_release_163262_signed
but I still have Eng S-Off and the flashed radio
flash your original ruu and use the same tool you used to get s-off to back s-on... done
i
f you don't have (or it doesn't exist) your original RUU, follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10378829&postcount=696
your old flashed radio is the same of your stock rom... this part is done
- now you need to root your phone with visionary tool.
- use the one click tool by jkoljo to back to s-on,
- then unroot your device.
- uninstall visionary
- DONE
the tool (if you delete it from your pc) can be downloaded from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537
thanks guys.

Are you serious?
what u mean
It doesn't matter, which rom you are using. I used the CD-method to S-Off my Desire, but I think it should also work using vmware.
You can't prevent alpharev from changing your splash screen, but there are tools in this forum, which allow you to change it to whatever you want afterwards.

You can change the splash screen with Android Flasher - It can be found in the Developement sub-forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794638
If you need a stock ROM, then you can either flash the RUU (You lose Root, S-Off) or flash a pre-rooted stock ROM (can be found in the Developement sub-forum).
S-Off via VMWare can be done, but if you are stuck use the USB or CD method instead (people reported issues with VMWare).
dont try to do S-OFF unless you are running stock rooted ROM
best is to run a RUU, then root, then go s-off
if you try to S-OFF while on a2sd+ or data2xxx rom, procedure will fail, and it might brick your phone (it fails after going past STEP3 - DONT UNPLUG YOUR P_HONE OR U WILL BRICK IT) but i unplugged it, and was ok, then RUU and again whole thing worked
I had problems with s-off on my stock sense rom (rooted).
I made a goldcard, rooted, then alpharev would not recognise my device.
Soon as I switched to rooted aosp rom (oxygen) it was fine!

Just flash stock rooted froyo, done the trick for me.
OP, just search for how to s-off, there are answers to all you questions available. I know that, as i only recently s-offed myself.
So, can i do this?
1. do nandroid backup
2. use froyo asia wwe ruu(im from singapore)
3. root with unrevoked
4. s-off with vmware
5. restore
But err, one question, if i was damn unlucky and brick my device, can i just use the RUU and restore it back?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1069600
Just follow the guide on the thread. If you brick your device, there is no way back. That's why its called brick. There are semi bricks, which can be fixed.

hi my HTC Desire says PVT1 S-OFF already
this make any difference between AlphaRev S-off?? or i need to go through this method also??
Just install a rom without A2SD (like Leedroid 2.4.1 no-A2SD or Teppic's rom) and then you can S-OFF your desire. I advice you to write the .img on a cd and then boot on this, you won't encounter any issue.
Afterwards you can apply a new splash on your Desire, like the stock one (which is available on alpharev website).

Hi everybody.
I have not found any topic or tutorial helping me solve this issue.
I rooted my desire yesterday. Here is what I have done :
1/ RUU --> Original FroYo
2/ AlpharevX --> Original FroYo S-OFF
3/ Unrevoked --> Original FroYo S-OFF + rooted
4/ CyanogenMod 7 --> CM7 S-OFF + rooted rom.
Now, I want to unroot my desire and go back to the original rom AND hboot (I'm stuck to alpharev hboot). How can I do this ?
And btw, is there a solution to replace the AlpharevX hboot with CM7 hboot without bricking the phone in my situation ?
Thanks by advance :]

You will need to go back to the stock HBOOT, to remove the cm7 r2 HBOOT you will need to flash the downgrade .zip found on Alpharevs site, also the stock HBOOT can be found there.
Run the downgrade .zip file in recovery then flash the stock HBOOT the same way that you flashed the cm7 HBOOT.
Download a RRU, there is a list with downloads in the desire dev forums, also it tells you how to run the RRU. That will unroot and s-on your phone back to how it was when you took it out of the box.

Thank you very much for your quick answer. Unfortunately, it does not help me a lot, since I do NOT have the CM7 hboot !
I DO have the AlpharevX hboot, but I WANT the CM7 hboot.
I need a solution that could help me go back to the original HTC hboot (the RUU solution isn't working, I am stuck to the AlpharevX hboot) and the original HTC Sense unrooted rom.
After that, I will be able to flash both CM7 and CM7 hboot properly by following the existing tutorials.
Btw, if someone knows a solution that won't brick my Desire and that will enable me to get CM7 and CM7 hboot in my situation (AlpharevX hboot + CM7), it would be much appreciated.
Was I clear enough ?
Thanks by advance
Now on your phone, goto settings>about phone>software then look for your baseband version and build version. Use that information to find your RUU file here:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bravo/ and here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
Download .zip RUU file
I used PB99IMG_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_r elease_159811_signed.zip
move it to the sd card, rename it PB99IMG.zip and flash it in bootloader
also "RUU rom will erase your root, s-off, apps, contacts, sms messages, and call history. The RUU will not touch anything you have saved to your sdcard such as music, photos, or videos."
hope it helps
