Hi all,
Owner of an HD2 i recently switch to the Desire HD, unfortunatly i've installed the HTC update, here is my system actually
Android version : 2.2.1
BaseBand : 12.28e.60.140fU_26.04.02.17_M2
Kernel : 2.6.32.21-g1e30168
[email protected] #1
Build Number : 1.75.163.2 CL301245 release keys
Software Number : 1.75.163.2
Browser version : Webkit 3.1
I would like to :
- Disable the simlock (lock to my provider actually)
- Get rid of these provider's apps
- Be able to flash every rom that i want
I've read a lot in the forum but was not able to found a solution, for what i've undertood there is no way to S-OFF post 1.72 version of the software because of security issues...
Is it possible to do this
- Downgrade to 1.32.405.6
- Root and S-OFF the phone
- Upgrade to the fully rooted WWE 1.72.405.3 (or 1.75 rooted if there is one)
Thanks for your lights ..
Ps : Hoo yes, is there any way to backup my actual rom (1.75) ..? Throught adb or something else..
Hi,
Unless your DHD had Radio S-OFF prior to the update there is no way back present. Give it a few weeks and a solution will have been found.

Might work normally, but needs a temp root that you can't get, catch 22.
Hello XDA forum!
I've been researching my topic for some time now and I noticed alot of vague information and the only usefull info seemed to be specific to each model... So, I have a Desire HD and my carrier is telus.
1. Is my phone branded or not? (There's not a bunch of telus apps or wallpapers, there is just one telus scene. Also it says HTC on the back where you would expect it to say telus)
2. Can you downgrade the Telus HTC Desire HD running 2.3.3 Gingerbread at this time? If so what tools would you use?
The reason I am doing this is because everything seems to be very vague information that, like stated above, seems to be specific to each post. However all the posts that I've read don't describe the methods used to identify key information or how to troubleshoot what to do if a step doesn't work (ex. Getting $ instead of #)
If someone could post back on this it would aid me greatly. I aim to downgrade, root, and flash Android Revolution HD and possibly a new radio to improve battery life and signal strength (which is non-existent in my basement)
My phone info is...
Android version:
2.3.3
HTC Sense version:
2.1
Baseband version:
12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M
Kernel version:

Thanks in advance!
PS. Any additional information you require from me don't hesitate to ask!
Now running Android Revolution HD!!
Ok so I found some key factors in this that I'd like to point out to anyone looking into rooting and flashing a custom rom.
First Downgrade
Settings > About Phone > Software Information > "Build number"
That is what you're looking at when searching for a downgrade. 1.32.405.6 is what you want to be at.
The downgrade guide I used is here.
Remember if your build number is above 2 you'll need to use section 2b and skip 2a
Make sure you download the attached folder at the bottom of the first post and the stock 1.32 ROM (link in section 1)
After this point I had a stock phone with 2.2 Froyo build number 1.32.405.6. My speakers did not work (no sound at all) and I could not connect to the mobile network which alarmed me at first thinking that Telus wouldn't like me hacking my phone or something x3
Second Root
Telus Desire HD - Rooting and Flashing
This was the first guide I tried to follow and it would have worked if it had simply added in that extra file and the commands:
Code:
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell
./data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start FBB00000 -end FFFFFFFF
Anyways I downloaded the files for this one (the light version since I had previously downloaded the PD98IMG.zip) and skipped to step B.b
I did the temproot successfully but the easy radio tool wouldn't work for me so I just used Visionary+ to permroot and Then I got the superuser request on my phone and the radio finished rapidly.
Went very smoothly after that.
Third Flashing!
Finally the time came when I was ready to flash my shiny new ROM. I read through step C of the above mentioned guide but decided to go through with the proccess mentioned in [ROM] Android Revolution HD™ 6.1.3 since it was more of a do it yourself thing and I like starting clean (it wants you to run superwipe from cwm before flashing the new rom)
I would recommend using a card reader rather than mounting as a disk drive cause it's more reliable.
Hope this helps someone!
Not sure if this has been said or not but:
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/how-to-root-the-htc-desire-hd/
It's as easy as "download, run" and it works brilliantly!
I suggest you just boot a Ubuntu Live CD (it's not as bad as it sounds, I actually liked it the first time I tried it and now I have it installed by my Windows) and just run the command:
wget http://droid.neolobster.com/roms/aahk-25102011.zip && unzip aahk-25102011.zip && sudo ./hack-ace.sh

in terminal, press "1" and be afk for 5 mins.
Doesn't erase your data, doesn't format your phone, doesn't downgrade your Android OS. It...it just works!
Good luck with it

Yeep! It sure does work I tried it and flashed the android revolution hd rom. Brilliant thanks a lot! Only thing is the sound seems a little different. It is much louder but also has this tinny effect at times. I will patch the cm7 audiofix and see how it goes.
Go to htcdev dot com, you'll find the official way to do it by HTC

when I install the update, the phone doesn't boot and I have to remove the battery in order to boot into the old version.

Any idea why I can't update?
What does the update do? Is there a changlog somewhere?
Thats because you don't have the factory recovery. My advice is to not update. Use the search feature or look down a couple of older threads and you will find a more elaborate answer.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S
seems htc employs a new compression algorithm for the rom.zip in the ruu. I was not able to extract the image files from it. can please somebody try and confirm?
ArchLinux kde 4.8 (Ark+Zip).
Works fine.

did you run the ruu with wine or how did you get the rom.zip out of the ruu.exe?
I used wine under linux but i tested now with windows 7 64 bit (7-zip is the best way to extract rom.zip) works fine.

I found the solution on a polish websites.
You have to use unlockroot application.
I'm looking for a new ROM maybe new Android version for this phone?
At the beginning I tried to root the phone with the Zhoudashi but it didn't work but now I have a problem with the phonebook.
When I have an incoming call the name is not match from the phonebook - I see only the phone number
As the name of SIM1 and SIM2 I have the china letters and even the hard reset does not solve these problems. Of corse I can change the name for the SIM card but I think my ROM has been modified by zhoudashi application.
What can I do to fix it?
Easy Way!

You must install the firmware from the mirror version (The mirror and the tablet like version have exactly the same internals) so the hardware is the same CM84, therein a 1.90 beta version that would work great, it has some better quality of life enhancements! on that thread I asked in Russian if I can flash that mirror firmware on my tablet like device, I flashed it and everything was ok! In case anyone is searching info, here is the thread from 4pda:
https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=792739
If you manage to make an account (there are tutorials on web how to solve 4pda Russian captcha to register) you will se a download link from a custom rom named CATS IV you can safely flash.
Hi Hardy, mind to share with me the firmware you used to flash your device? i bought this car cam from china and it does not come with google playstore and cannot install apk apps... hope you can assist me for the firmware. Thanks in advance.
Here do you have the download link from the latest CM84 firmware:
https://disk.yandex.ru/d/qhbWzQD43Q94GN
hey got a similar DVR android mirror. Was wondering if you could send CATs IV firmware? I don't see it on that website?
Hi, i have the same device, my son played with it and locked it by pin. Can't find a way to factory reset it.
If i enter recovery mode i get a android photo and can't go further.
Any help to reset the device?
I recovery mode I can't pass the image with broken android.
