[q] h3g desire hd rom

I need an H3G branded rom for the DESIRE HD. I have found a post in the forums
but the file seems to be corrupted. Does anyone have this ?

Are you sure that h3g has branded roms?
I bought mine with a h3g contract and the phones in austria seem to have unbranded stock roms.

Yeah my phone came with a branded rom originally. Not sure where i can find it...

Thank you for your answer regarding the easy ace removal tool. what i would like to know is do i have to go install a new RUU from htcdev.com? because i download the one for h3g but the feedback i got was that it wasnt the right download for the right model. and can i continue with the rest of the process on htcdev without installing a new RUU?

Depends. What did the tool say when you tried to run it? If you need a RUU and can't find a compatible one, make a goldcard and flash any RUU that supports hboot unlock.

cant root desire

Wait, if you're S-Off, just flash a recovery and flash a ROM from there.

i've tried

Wait, how did you try to flash it? That link is for the boot splash, not the recovery. Download a recovery img, flash it from fastboot with "fastboot flash recovery *img filename*" and flash a ROM from the recovery.

i tried flashing it with this fastboot flash "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.0-ace.img" from the tutorial at http://theunlockr.com/2012/10/02/how-to-install-clockworkmod-recovery-on-the-htc-desire-hd/ and got that "writing 'recovery' ... FAILED (remote: not allowed)" error. i tried the link in my previous promised to set my fon to ENG S-OFF which would in turn solve the "(remote: not allowed)"error and enable me to use fastboot.

Um...is your phone in fastboot mode? Like, did you select fastboot from the hboot menu?

yes i did. and now this is what it says "FAILED (status read failed (too many links))". for some reason im unable to add the screenshot to the post else i would have. what does it mean "too many links"?

still not working
@bananagranola no further tips for me?

Nope. Never seen than error before. Maybe someone else has.

[Q] [SOLVED] Why can't flash in fastbbot?

Hi!
First sorry for my english...
So my problem is the next:
I've got a HTC Vision, i'm done with the rooting and s-off by using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...Phone.2C_Set_SuperCID.2C_and_Turn_Radio_S-OFF
Everything went fine, now i can get su in term emulator, i see s-off in fastboot, but when i try to flash recovery or splash screen i always get errors like this: (with splash.img it's the same)
C:\adb>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (4442 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.779s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.780s
I have no idea where should i start debugging...
I'm running Virtuous 1.0.1 and i'v got a modded cwm recovery (3.0.0.5) to charge with power off
Anyone can help me please?
EDIT:
In the wiki i read this:
"Assuming you've backed up your phone with Clockwork's nandroid, you can install the engineering HBOOT (bootloader), which among other things allows you to use fastboot flash (or flashing-over-usb from your computer). This is unnecessary for most users but provides additional functionality for developers. "
Is this mean i can't flash via fastboot without eng hboot?
Sorry if it's a noob question but it seems much difficult like with the normal desire.....

Yes you need the ENG. Hboot to push commands in fastboot.

thanks for quick reply...
I was thinking the same thing but I'm not sure, and i don't wanted to brick my new favourite

If you want to flash recovery without the ENG HBOOT you can use this method:

somewhere else i found a solution to flash recovery in shell, and found one to flash splash img in shell too, but thanks...
my problew was only the eng hboot.... before the Vision i had a Bravo, and with that there was everything is simple... unrEVOked to root(1 click), alpharev to s-off(1 click again)... after those i can did everything....
the eng boot is new for me (in android), but now i know what can i do with it and what can i do without it.... but maybe the most important, i know, i can do almost everything without it, the only thing i have to do is to go on a longer way

[Q] Problems updating clockworkmod

I have been trying to update my HTC desire to the new touch version of clockworkmod (5.8.0.2) however from within the rom manager app, updating says it completes however on reboot nothing has changed, so I tried doing it manually, i run the command
Code:
fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.2-bravo.img
each time i get the error when writing the recovery saying
"FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
How can I fix this?
I also tried flashing 5.0.2.0, with the same error, it still says its running 2.5.0.7 :/
please help
Thanks

are you s-on? if yes you can' flash it via fastboot
post info from fastboot mode

Thank you for the reply Kotag
My phone is in s-on
and the info is here attached as a screen shot
thanks

I presume you used unrevoked to get root... It comes with CWM 2.5.0.7
You could flash custom recovery from menu but never mind... go to alpharev.nl and get s-off as your hboot is 0.93 or you can use revolutionary (this is unrevoked and alpharev together)
after s-off you will be able to flash anything on the phone... including recovery

Thanks ill try that
yes i did use unrevocked
will making s-off will i have to reflash my rom and lose my data? :/
and also how wud i flash recovery then, because i thought u said earlier that in s-off i cant falsh in fastboot :/?

sorry just noticed my mistake... if you s-on I meant... post edited - reading too many threads
you should not loose any data if everything goes normal... do back up before just in case

When I s-off my phone, date and time always restart to 6 jan 1980 1:00
Anybody had a same problem? Im not s-off anymore

i dont have linux to run alpha rev, will revolutionary remove my data? :/

no it will not, just run it and enjoy

you don't need linux to run alpharev.iso... that is live cd, boot it as you starting your pc/laptop or revolutionary has windows modification

[Q] How to upgrade to ClockWorkMod Touch?

Back in November I used AAHK to root, ENG S-OFF etc. my phone so that I could flash a custom rom. It installed ClockWorkMod 5.0.2.0 (I think) by default.
When I updated ROM Manager via Market the other day it said that there's a version of ClockWorkMod Touch available for my phone on their website, but I couldn't flash it via fastboot. Gives me this:
sending 'recovery' (3554 KB) ... OKAY [0.641s]
writing 'recovery' ... FAILED (remote: not allowed)
Same thing happens when I try to flash a new radio.
The commands I'm using are:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.5-ace.img.
Anything I'm doing wrong? Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Ideon

I answered you I the other thread. You don't have engsoff, so you need to.flash it through a pd98img formatted zip

Thanks for the answer
I have 2 questions:
1. Do you have any idea where I could find a safe guide with which I can ENG S-OFF my phone? I see you warned me on the other thread about not doing it if my phone came shipped with 2.3, but it came with Froyo, so I guess I could try this method.
2. In the case point (1) doesnt work, how do I create a custom pd98img.zip file? (I asked this on the other thread as well )

1) you can try jkoljo's easy radio off tool.
2) their is a thread in the Dev that has some already ready to flash. But if the one you want is not listed what you can do is take one the pd98 zip, delete the radio.img and put the one you want in. I personally use 7zip to do this.

Thanks for the tip regarding jkoljo's tool Worked like a charm. Flashed both the radio and the CWM Touch recovery interface. +1

How would I apply different themes to my touch recovery? Thanks

I used to have one of these themes for the recovery interface but it clearly states
The 4EXT themes are to be used on madmaxx82's brilliant 4EXTRecovery which can be found here.

I no longer have the 4EXTRecovery since i flashed CWM Touch so...dunno if there are custom themes for it yet.

[Q] Problem with New ClockWorkMod ROM in my HTC Desire

Morning,
Please recently i have flashed a new Custom ROM in my HTC Desire A8181 that i found in ClockWorkMod web site!!! I flashed it in my phone with Rom Manager Premium v4 because more recent ROM Manager didn't install in my HTC Desire with Android 2.1 update 1. The Recovery that i used is one which installed by unrevoked3! The Problem is after installation of new ROM my phone doesn't boot well! It show the first white screen with HTC writed on it after it's showing black screen with ANDROID writed on it and stop there! No more action!!! I don't understand!!!
My radio is 4.05.00.11
HBOOT 0.75.0000
S-ON
I can't pass in S-OFF because revolutionnary doesn't work with my model HBOOT! How can i do! I wonder if it's possible to reinstall a new ROM in Recovery mode!!!

use bortak's troubleshooting guide stickied to the top of Q&A
you'll need to RUU, recommend the 2.3.3 GB one. then use revolutionary to s-off. afterwards flash 4ext recovery (see my sig), it's better and can partition your sd card properly. then full wipe and flash a new rom.
uninstall rom manager, do not use it on this phone, it is bad for desire. it may be the reason you're having these problems in the first place.

Problem with fastboot or bootloader!
Please, i can't use fastboot in my PC well! When i try some instruction like flash my hboot to a newer in fastboot SDK because my hboot is too old to be S-OFF by revolutionnary I got an error! It say it can verify the signature of my bootloader! That's what writen in my command!
c:\fastboot>fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphasspl.img
sending 'hboot' (512KB)...
OKAY [ 0.095s]
writing 'hboot'...
(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote:signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 0.169s
It does same thing i try to erase system,boot or userdata!Please help!

slow down, have you even followed the guide?
- have you installed the fastboot drivers in order to be able to use it.
- you can't flash an hboot unless you are s-off
- run the 2.3.3 RUU like i said, then s-off using revolutionary
try the guide again..

Okay! Thanks i think that Download RUU Froyo like it says in the tread is the most way for me to resolve my problem!!!
