Hi,
I have a serious problem and I could not fix it with anything I tried. Today I had the notification of the official 2.3 update for desire hd. I dowloaded it then the phone is stuck at the htc logo. I tried from bootloder to make factory reset recovery and also tried to flash some roms in fastboot mode.
None of them worked.
My first choice is to get back to 2.2 froyo, but I would like to hear recommendations about custom roms, especially if you have any rom advice wihch can increase battery life etc. I am not an expert in flashing roms however I can also consider for a custom rom in the light of your suggestions. Please help it would be much appreciated.
Regards...
is there anyone who as some comments??
Hello, that sounds rubbish Had you been running a custom ROM before? What network are you on?
got the same problem here too http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14568001&postcount=12
thanks a lot but in this thread it says that it can not be downgraded if it is 2.37 or higher when i have tried to flash a rom i see that the it is currently 2.37.720.3.
Do you there might be also another way??
somebody please help, i am really stuck and can not find any solution, i started to think the phone will be brick. isnt there any suggestion...
and no one has tried the 2.36 RUU!? (stop trying the PD98IMG's off the SD)
i also tried to flash 2.36 up to 2.37 it also did not work....

Use the RUU and your pc to downgrade it to 2.36, it should work regardless of what you have on your phone.
first of all thanks for your comments.
let me tell you what i have done step by step.
ifound the rom below name specified.
RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.36.405.8_R_Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2_release_187331_signed
i enter the bootlodaer because i can not get anywhere else. i plug in the usn then select "fastboot" and it show fastboot usb.
then i run the ruu from pc it starts to flash ( it shows current version 2.37.720.3 and will 2.36. etc. )
then black screen with white htc logo comes but nothing moves further and at the end i get the " Custome ID Error "
i do not know may be i am using the wrong rom if you can please provide another link to another rom or may be a different solution with a custom rom...
i am really stuck at this.
thanks in advance...
Customer ID error normally means you need a goldcard
www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-make-gold-card-for-htc-desire-hd/
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
thanks for yor suggestion i will definetly try it and give results.
but please excuse my lack of knowledge, according to the instructions i have to use " gold card helper " via phone. my phone is now unusable. i have one android hd2 do you i can create the goldcard on hd2 according to the desire hd setting s and use it on desire hd????
thanks again...
i tried the godlcard solution but now it gave the error 140 bootloader version.
the only thing different than the steps it says chosee mmc2 value but on the goldcard helper i only saw mmc1 and i have sent the e-mail according to that...
what should i do?
does anyone has any suggestion??
since now the bootloader is pooched, you've pretty much bricked the device unless you can get your hands on the original ruu that your carrier uses.
hi
i just downgraded my desire hd and then did a radio s-off but then i wanted to do a S-OFF.
i used the easyS-off but then it said bootloader corrupt do not reboot.
i already tried without "I Have Radio S-OFF" then it just says connection problem
i have charged only and debugging turned on
what now?
thnx
hmm what about Easy Radio Tools?
i used that for radio s-off
it worked now!! thnx to this guy
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=999219
second post!!
I would be hesitamt to reboot though, haven't used the easytool as I personally prefer to know what steps are being carried out, but if it warns that the bootloader is corrupt I wouldn't reboot until I knew the situation is corrected.
Hello guys (I suppose most of the visitors are in fact guys ),
I downgraded my DHD to 1.32 this week and managed to get root-access and did a successful Radio S-OFF using the One click Radio S-OFF.
However; this morning I tried the One click ENG S-OFF but the first time I tried to run the tool I got an error stating "Connection error (SD)". Rebooted my phone and tried again.
This time I got the error "Bootloader corrupt, contact XDA".
After I almost crapped myself I started to search for a solution; someone on this forum stated to go to application settings - superuser - and clear data. Did it and then I got a bunch of applications which did a forced close.
Tried the One click tool again and got the same error (Bootloader corrupt).
In the meanwhile I got all this popups regarding android.process.acore needed to close which finally resulted in an unusable phone so I rebooted...
Thank god this went alright and my phone is up and running again but...
I think the last failure was probably caused by the One click app that doesn't have root access (didn' t get a popup though), but I'm a little afraid to try it again.
Does anyone know if it's save to try it again?

Why not do it longhand? Concise instructions are available here, I realise you already have root but even if you follow the instructions from the begining they aren't gonna do any harm.
Thanks, that could be a solution however I found out that I didn't check the box "I have Radio S-OFF
Tried again with the checkbox checked but got the same error again.
The files that were copied to my SD-card at the first attempt are still there.
Is it safe to remove these files?
Maybe that solves it...
It is very important, that you agree the super user request while the tool does its job.
I had the same problems some weeks ago (bootloader corrupt), because during the flash my display timeout was reached and the super user request failed (black locked screen).
If the tool can not get root, it can not copy the bootloader. The message "bootloader is corrupt" is confusing, because nothing has happend.

Which is one reason I favour doing it long hand at least then youd know it's failed to flash the bootloader
Hmm, strange.
When I boot into the bootmenu (vol. down + power) it states the I'm already ENG s-OFF and hav CID 111111...
Something must have gone right....
However I can't find the line anymore that states that I have Radio S-OFF, is this normal behaviour?

Exactly! The instructions don't mention it, but when you run the easy s-off exe, it goes through a few steps and then your phone will ask you to allow superuser access. So have your screen on and be ready, and THEN run the easy s-off utility. That's all it was for me. I hit "OK" on the error message, tried it again but this time watched my phone and allowed SU access, and it worked fine.
Hi,
I'm posting here because i had the same problem ( Bootloader corrupt etc ... ).
First I rooted my DHD, and made it Eng s-off and installed a rom a few month ago.
Today I wanted to install another rom, and flash the radio.
But I did not remenbered if I already had the radio s-off, so i installed the 1.32 stokified rom, used the easy radio tool ( v2.2 ) and when i wanted to use the easy s-off tool ( v05 ), the program gave me the error message concerning the bootloader corrupt and stuff. I tried it with "I have radio s-off" ticked, and when I try it with unticked, I have a connection error message.
I tried to delete the data from SU, but it didn't help, and then I noticied ( remenbered ) that SU did not asked me the authorizations when I used easy radio tool ans easy s-off.
Anyone have an idea how I can fix that ? Maybe unistall/reinstall SU ?
HTC Desire HD radio S-OFF steps
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTFphGbgqbQ&feature=player_embedded
Yes I did that after reinstalling the 1.32 rom, excepted the Visionary steps.
The root is permanent no ? I did it on my previous rom, so I don't have to root it again when I install another rom ?
Anyway, my DHD rebooted when I tried to secure the battery compartment, the bootloader wasn't corrupted, it's fine.
So I checked the bootload, I have ENG s-off and Cid 1111... this mean that my device is radio s-off too right ?

Yes, you can install custom roms and flash radios now.
Hi all
I have done a search to try and find the answer for this but I dont seem to be able to find a solution.
I am in the process of trying to flash my HTC Wildfire that I have just bought.
Now it came with S-OFF so i started by trying to use unrEVOked tool. This got so far but couldnt find the device root.
So following the guide
form.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27139372
I trying to put it back to 2.1 instead of 2.2.1
This was successful HOWEVER, the touch screen doesnt work.
So in my attempt to try and fix this I am told to just flash it.
But I cant continue, I cannot get unrEVOked to find the device anymore.
I can tell the phone to do anything different as the screen doesnt work.
I have tried to recover it using a recovery image however it keeps failing and telling me "Remote not allowed"
I had turned on USB debugging but I fear the setting may have been removed when I put the other, older ROM on.
Anyone got any ideas what I can do?

Thank you, I will get an SD card and try this later
I followed this guide, However when it was in HBOOT when it was searching it did not load PB99IMG and it didnt look for a PB99IMG.
Also in HBOOT it says Touch Panel - Fail if this helps?
Edit again
I changed the name to PC49IMG.zip which seems to be what it looks for but this doesnt work either?
May be I should leave it to more experienced people here. I never had any issue when I rooted my phone. Cant help you more than this.

Hello
I tried to root my desire hd by using the aahk kit. I strictly followed the efffen manual, but somehow the bootloader still states that the device is in "s-on" mode. I can install custom roms, but I only get the screen showing the htc logo when rebooting the device. I can only access the bootloader and the recovery mode. (the connection to my computer works)
I already tried:
to unlock the bootloader with the help of htcdev.com (=> worked)
to apply the aah Kit a second time => does not work (I get the message that no device is found. Alternatively I can start the hack while the device is switched off. This way the device is found, but the hack doesn't succeed.
Is there anything else I can try? I hope somebody has an advice.

You can't use AAHK on an unlocked bootloader. Relock it and try AAHK again if you want S-OFF. If you are okay with S-ON, you need to flash the boot.img each time you flash a ROM. Otherwise, your phone will hang on the HTC screen like yours is right now.
You might have used AAHK to downgrade the first time, which would be why you were still S-ON. If your phone is on 2.3.5, AAHK needs to be run twice: once to downgrade, once to root.

Thanks for your quick reply! I successfully relocked the bootloader. However, as you may see in the screen shot the AAHK doesn't work properly.
Anyway, I do not necessary need S-Off. Where can I find information about how th flash the boot.img? (Is the boot.img extracted from the stock RUU suitable?) What's the best way to continue? Flashing the boot.img and installing a custom rom directly afterwards?
in addition:
I tried to use a different sd-card => same error.
As suggested I flashed the boot.img. It worked but I still can't use custom ROMs. What do I do wrong???

For AAHK: I think your sdcard may be corrupted for use as a goldcard, which can happen when it's improperly dismounted; though you can access data, you can't use it for AAHK. Get a brand-new one and try it.
For boot.img when S-ON: look in post #7's PDF in the Ace Think Tank thread linked in my signature. Instructions are in there someplace, but I can't remember the page number off the top of my head. You will need to flash the ROM, then fastboot flash the boot.img, each time.

Hello.
For 2 days now, I have been trying to unlock a DHD,with not much luck so far. (AAHK being disabled just when I needed it.)
I am now trying to use the official HTCDev bootloader unlocker, but it doesn't seem to work either.
So far, my rom is still stock. (The phone tells me it is :
sense 3.0,android 2.3.5, ver 3.12.405.1 ,
HBOOT 2.00.0027
Radio 26.14.04.28_M )
The phone was never branded or somlocked.
It SHOULD be supported by HTCDev. However,when I run the RUU update, It asks me if I want to go from 3.12.405.1 to 3.13.000.0
I say yes.
The phone reboot to Fastboot, and then I get an error 191, saying that my rom is not supported and I should wait for an update.
Since it supposed to be supported already, there will be no update of course.
Earlier, I had tried to manually downgrade following this guide :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424023
I had gone to the end of the guide, having the message "your card is now gold",but couldn't seen to use it to downgrade. (Is there a specific way to use a goldcard ? I just got to bootloader and it seems to load something ... but in the end the hboot version doesn't change.)
I kept the goldcard as it was, and used another micros SD.
I did a factory reset before trying HTC dev unlocker.
Now I am a bit lost. I have tried to find what to do by reading posts, faqs, and generally searching here ot with google.
But I seem to go from outdated to incomplete guides, and / or lack the basics to understand what I read.
Does anyone know what my next step should be ? What could prevent HTCdev unlocker from working ?

You need to update your hboot for HTCDEV tool to work. I don't know why but the links in the site seem to have been removed thou the link is still alive.
Try to use this tool (that will guide you through the process) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2133336 or use this tool (that will unlock the bootloader, flash CWM recovery and root) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2169515

I tried both those utility, but they merely download and launch the same RUU update. It will detect a 1.00.000.00 image version, try to update to 3.13.something,and then tell me it can't due to unsuported rom.
I think the problem might be that I switched my version 1.00.000 manually when I was trying to downgrade. I'LL try reversing that, but if anyone has another idea, please ...
Edit :
Nope, still stuck.
I changed back the misc version to 2.00.0027, but the HTC dev ruu update still tells me that my rom is not supported.
Can't update hboot, can't get token, can't unlock

I found what was wrong for me !
It came from my first try at manually downgrading. Except the misc version is not the HBOOt version, it's the rom version. Following the guide, I had set it to 1.00.000.0
I retraced the same step, except I set it to 3.12.405.1 ( the version of the rom ).
And it worked !

No.
After setting the rom version back to 3.12.405.1, I used the HTC unlocker to unlock my Hboot.
The automatic script ( easyUnlock and EasyAceUnlock ) didn't seem to work for me (Error while trying to get root.)
So I just installed Clockwork mod recovery. I don't really need to be root anyway. I just want some JellyBean taste.
But now I seem to be having a new problem. I tried to install a rom ( Wiping everything I can from CWM before ) but my phone won't boot. It is stuck to the green HTC logo.
I will be looking through new post from this forum to try to find a solution, while downloading other roms.
I wonder if some (or all) roms require you to be root to work.

Indeed. Now starting the slow process of finding the right rom.
I will regret not being able to flash a radio ( since I'm not S-Off ) but at least I be able to try new roms.
