Rom manager

(Fail. pressed the wrong button. was looking through the related topics for a similar problem)
I've been trying to install CWM on my DHD for a few days now and not sure if im either doing it wrong or its just not possible at the moment.
Android Version: 2.2
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.21
Build: 1.40.61.2
Software number 1.40.61.2
I think I've managed to root my device (i can use su in terminal emulator after a reboot) but ROM Manager fails to install cwm.

You need s-off to flash cwm

That would by why its not working then. Thanks
Shall give the s-off a try, little hesitant due to only having it a week.

Thanks to jkoljo this can be done painlessly: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537

I've been reading through the information on the page and not sure about the requirements it mentions.
Guessing the build version is the same as the one in the system information bit (which should be fine as its under)
As for stock kernel, do I have this seeing as I haven't done anything to my phone yet? Or might it be different as I have a branded handset.
-- never mind, turns out everything was fine. after several minutes of terror i appear to have s-off and cwm installed without killing my nice new phone
thanks for the help

[Q] What could be the issue with me installing OTA 2.3?

Hi guys just tried to install the 2.3 OTA update that came through today.
Problem is as soon as I try it reboots to the exclamation mark and android symbol.
I am ENG S-OFF Radio S-OFF Sim Unlocked and Perm Rooted.
I did however change my CID to the standard HTC 001.
What could be the issue? I'm not getting any error notifactions or if I am I don't know where to find them?
Any advice?

Have you removed any system apps? Or any of the bloatware they pack in stock builds?

No the only thing I have done is to permroot with Visionary and add radio s-off and supercid now I changed the cid back to stock in prep for the update coming. The ROM is completely standard and stock.
My current version and build info is as follows:
Android Version
2.2
Baseband Version
12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M
Kernel Version
2.6.32.21-gf3f553d

Oh and when trying to use this tool after the failed OTA update attempt to change radio s-off back to on to see if that worked the program no longer seems to work returning failed probably connection errors: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537
Thanks for the quick reply.

Same problem as I have in my thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1081923&page=2
I think its becuase we have S-OFF that we cant get the update. I'd like to know how to get S-OFF back on

If you're both rooted, etc... Why don't you try Seraphics rooted GB ROM?
You can flash it via recovery and is completely stock, other than having root access.
You can find the thread HERE and the ROM HERE

I wouldn't mind knowing how to get S-OFF back on. Starting to wish I didn't root as I cant even get an OTA.

Same problem
I had the same problem ealier today. Yellow ! when the update shuts down the phone, but take out the battery and it loads back 2.2 up..
Tried undoing changes I could remember making- the radio s-off, rooting and the CID. Only other thing I could think of was trying to take clockworkmod recovery off the phone.
I decided just to flash this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1059563
...If you can flash roms, this is probably gonna be much the same as the update.
In the end I was actually pretty disappointed with it. I've tried RCMIX kingdom ROM which has elements of sense3 in it. I hadn't done my research and expected sense 3 with this update.

Thanks for the suggestions guys but I'll be frank and say custom roms aren't interesting me. I use Launcher Pro and make my own lockscreens for all my visual customisations and haven't seen any ROM that does anything out the ordinary other than tweaks.
Its knocked my confidence in using anything off here especially when the tool to s-off supercid and simunlock says its simple enough to go back where in reality after attempting OTA something in the settings somewhere has changed and screwed it up.

The ROM I linked to isn't a custom ROM. Its stock HTC gingerbread with root.

Thanks had a looked more in detail at the rom you linked to and have to say I'm convinced and can't be bothered with OTA anymore lol Decided to stop sitting on the fence and throw myself at the dev communities mercy lol Those using the Easy Radio tool won't be able to go back to s-on unless rooted and to do so ensure that you haven't denied access to an unamed process called "Unknown" in your superuser app as this refers to the radio tools access.

Do you all know that it is nessecarily to downgrade your device ROM Software to Version 1.32 or 1.72??
You CAN NOT ROOT your device with Gingerbread or Android 2.x the easy way.
Check this and download your ROM 1.2x or 1.3x or 1.7x for your current provider.
Flash it - and after all ROOT it.

he asked for the rom build version not the kernel version. but anyway this kernel version indicates a gingerbread rom version. as he said above you need to downgrade. look up jkojos post.

Please help me Im new on Android...

you cannot root any newer desire hd build, you must downgrade first, to downgrade you must temp-root first.
full guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1152233. It involves adb command, so if you're not familiar with these, get someone who have the knowledge to help you

[Q] Root with USB port failure

Hi guys, I have a HTC Desire and I want to root it. I have already do it with other Desire but this one have an USB port failure, it is break and I can't plug on a PC.
So, do you know an application like Z4ROOT or Universal Androot for a HTC Desire 2.2, please ?
Thank you

Visionary
see this guide part 11

Thank you, but I've tried it and after the warning message "rooting device, please wait" in Visionary, I have a black screen. I waited for more than 5 minutes and it's the same black screen.
An idea for this ?
This phone is S-ON, can this be a problem ?

what software version you running?
or you can try this... It is about usb brick but you can get temp root in terminal then install superuser, no idea if it is working this way(as i did not try it, i have my phones s-off, easier way to sort out problems)... but you can get temp root with rageagainstthecage, saved my usb brick on 2.29.405

On the official topic, several people have the same problem like him and others below : android.modaco.com/topic/320350-19nov-r14-visionary-one-click-root/page__st__240__p__1611566#entry1611566

did you update your phone recently? even unrevoked has this problem with new software which came out recently... what is cause of your non working usb?

Thanks for your help.
It was not my phone before yesterday and it seems that the Sofware number 2.29.405.14 came out in December 2011... Maybe this is it, but on the official topic of Visionary, people have this problem in february 2011 and before.
About the USB, it's not a software brick but a hardware problem, the connector is break on a corner.

it could be related some OTA update made it non working... tried that rageagainstthecage method?

I will study it, thank you

I managed to downgrade to version 2.29.405.2 and I have my phone temproot with Visionary. So I flashed the recovery with ROM Manager successfully but when I restart in recovery I only have a red triangle next to a phone and a freeze...
A solution to this, please?

Don't use ROM manager(it is causing more trouble than it is worth, mine experience + a lot of others)... try to use 4 ext recovery updater/control from market as you have a root

Tried.. read... - Failed to get clockwork on DHD :(

Hi Guys
As per the title I am struggling to get my dhd S-off / rooted / clockwork installed. Iv read and read and thought ok im ready so I downloaded ace hack and all my ADB drivers are installed.
So turned on phone (usb debugging enabled) run ace as admin and pushed 1.
It recognized the phone and said cannot continue must downgrade, do you want me to downgrade y/n?
So I thought well yeah so it downloaded the file and pushed it to my sd card, and then rebooted into hboot and the phone auto found the file and started loading it.
When finished flashing, it rebooted and just hung on the HTC screen. that's as far as I have got. I did see the hboot version had changed but that's all. So the only thing I could do was to Flash a RUU to get the phone working again. (Which worked)
Here is info about phone:
Android version - 2.3.5
Htc Sense Version - 3.0
Software number - 3.12.405.1

If someone can point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it.
I cant understand why these seem harder when my GS3 was very easy.
Maybe its just me :silly:
Edit forgot to say that after flashing RUU I went to htcdev and unlocked bootloader. (don't no if that's going to make a difference)

If you've unlocked with HTC dev, you're one step closer to flashing roms.
See if you can install a custom recovery, and then flash the rom you want. However, to get it booting you'll have to push the boot image via adb after you flash a rom (it'll be in the respective rom's .zip file, just copy it out), otherwise you'll be stuck on the splash screen.
It's a hassle compared to normal flashing if you rooted with aahk, but at least you'll get something going.
I haven't used the later versions of aahk, I rooted back in sense 2.2 days, can't help you there.

Foxy, if your phone Was downgraded You Need To run the hack Kit again. That You are running Android 2.3.3 And sense 2.1....if You are not, then You are not downgraded And You Need to achive that first.
