I was trying to do the radio s off with visionary and something went wrong.
I downloaded visionary+ onto my Telus HTC Desire HD no problem, I had rooted it earlier and beleived that to be done correctly. I was getting ready to flash my radio and was going through the steps to do so when my problems began.
Now, all that happens is VISIONary+ keeps on rebooting. I have tried pulling the battery, I have tried to change my settings (re: usb debugging) but nothing seems to help.....all it does is continously shut back off and try to reboot.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Update: This issue has been resolved. I am now trying to figure out if my phone is properly rooted...go to page 2 in thread please
What is your build number in settings>about>software information? Anything higher (and including) than 1.7 will cause Visionary to fail. Then you have to downgrade first.
OK, that is my first mistake, my Build # is 1.84.61.2.
I will attempt the downgrade and report back here
I am at the downgrade prompt. When I put in the command "adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp" I get a message saying "'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file"
What did I do wrong?

download android sdk first
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
put your command to the folder .. for example if u extract to desktop with folder android, then go to command prompt, point to the folder first
e.g: "cd desktop" "cd android"
p/s: put the file inside the folder too
Thanks Hayday, this dosen't seem to help though.
I have the Android SDK in my C: drive and I have placed the "downgrade" folder inside of it. And I still get the same error of "adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file" when I type the "adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp"
Any other suggestions?
I believe it still may be a driver problem. I keep getting a message from HTC Sync that says "HTC sync port of ### is not responding. Please disconnect cable and reconnect after 10 seconds"
Can I use the program terminal emulator to do this directly on the phone?
does the folder have adb.exe in it ?
if you place the android sdk folder in c for example the folder name is "android" , you just go to cmd .. then type "cd c:/android/"
and then type "adb" ..
you must use the command inside c:/android .. not c:/android/Downgrade
to be safe, just copy everything in "Downgrade" folder and paste to android sdk folder too ..
btw, here is the full thread by jkoljo himself on how to downgrade.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003&highlight=downgrade
I have done exactly as you say, I have the "downgrade" folder inside of the "AndroidSDK" folder....and still get the exact same message of "'adb' is not recognized....."
I cannot post a question in that other thread because I have fewer than 10 posts. I will as soon as I get up to 10.
Download & install htc sync, this should include all the drivers you need.
I think you need net framework 3.xx installed as well.
Then in cmd, go to where you put the downgrade file (cd blah blah) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=483902&d=1294492245 - & then the command lines should work.

adb.exe is found in platform-tools folder in the android-sdk folder.
Add it to your path. Eg: PATH=c:\android-sdk\platform-tools;%PATH%
Thanks arjunr, after a little bit of tinkering with some files and folders I got it!
Thanks!
Now that I have the proper build #, I want to make sure my phone is properly rooted......or do I have to re-root it?
Is there any way to check and see if my phone is properly rooted?
I had rooted it before I did the build downgrade, does this make a difference?
My phone out of the box was a HTC Desire HD by Telus. The rooting that I followed was the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954997"which is the "[GUIDE] Telus Desire HD - Rooting and Flashing" found here on this website
I am good to go, I am rooted and downgraded!

i enter the path but it says adbwinapi.dll is missing frm my computer, and try reinstalling program to fix the problem !
so i try reinstalling but unfortunately same result
so please i wish someone could help me on this one
thanks alot in advance
all appreciations
In a CMD shell you need to add "Path C:\Android-sdk\Platform-Tools" (or whatever the correct path is to that folder where you installed it) then try again.
Alternatively, download Android Flasher (search these forums) and run the commands from the folder that contains ADB and Fastboot.
what are the adb scripts, i keep seeing posts talking about them, all i know is that i installed two files one named android sdk windows and the other installer r12 windows
Go to c:\android-sdk\tools folder, copy "fastboot.exe" and paste it into c:\android-sdk\platform-tools.
Then before issuing fastboot commands type
Code:
cd c:\android-sdk\platform-tools
Once you've done that and want to flash the hboot, put it in your c:\ For simplicity and type
Code:
fastboot flash hboot c:\bravo_alphaspl-cm7r2.img
Fastboot reboot bootloader
If you're really stuck go here :- http://alpharev.nl/ and download the PB99IMG file instead. Rename this to PB99IMG.zip and save it to the root of your SD card. Restart your phone in recovery (vol down + power) and it should flash it for you. Been a long time since I did it that way so I invite anyone to correct me.
Edit: Please delete the PB99IMG.zip file once flashed else it will re-flash it everytime you enter recovery.
Look at step 4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016084 follow the video eveything you need is on this page.
You can get Bravo CM7 r2 from http://alpharev.nl/

Guys,I got a problem when I was downgrading my Desire Z using this guide(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912). Since I'm a new member,I cannot post in that post.
The problem is:
When I enter this code:
# ./flashgc
I got this code:
./flashgc
./flashgc: permission denied
So,can anyone PLEASE help me?I will be very thankful!
there could be a whole bunch of reasons why thats happening. You didn't push it properly, you aren't in the right dir, you didn't chmod it, etc.
So it would be helpful if you pasted everything in your cmd/terminal

waiting for device
Hello XDA,
i post my question in here, because it refers to the same guide. Everything worked fine, untill the last step of the fastboot part. After entering "> fastboot-mac flash zip StockRom.zip" the terminal says "waiting for device" for an hour now, and the phone still shows the grey htc logo.
I use mac osx, and my phone was up to date.
What went wrong? Most important, how do i interrupt this process, without damaging the device?
thank you
next morning
UPDATE:
I left everything as it was. This morning nothing happend in Terminal, phone was turned off. After starting it, still android 2.3.3, no changes as far as i see.
Still: What went wrong, and if i try again, how can i interrupt "waiting for device" if i try again, and don't have time to wait for hours.
UPDATE II:
Tried "Manual Downgrade"-Method. I am froyo now. Thanks for letting me post this little monologue
No idea what went wrong, could be a permission issue. Try running fastboot as root?
As for interrupting it, so long as its just on 'waiting for device' its not actually doing much, so you can hit ctrl + c in terminal to halt it.
-Nipqer
not sure but when i type <fastboot - windows .....> or whatever that wont work for me. anything i have ever done in fastboot has started like <fastboot -w> or <fastboot flash> never <fastboot-windows oem flash or whatever>
maybe next time (if there is) drop the "-mac" ?
just a thought
Setherio made a guide which used fastboot, but made it universal so renamed the fastboot binaries according to which OS they are made for.
The fact he has 'fastboot-mac' instead of just 'fastboot' makes no difference at all.
-Nipqer
Please do not PM me with questions about this guide! I don't have time to help everyone through it, create a thread in Q&A if you don't have 10 posts or post here, there are other people who have done this and can help you, and I will get to it if I can.

Fully stable root methods for all firmware versions (no bootloops on 6.01.605.05 firmware!)
Table of Contents
To quickly find a section, hit CTRL+F and type the letters in parentheses, then click "Next"
(IRO) Intro: Read first!
(HDV) HTCDEV Unlock
(TCR) Tacoroot
(DWG) Downgrade tool
(RVL) Revolutionary
(HSO) S-OFF with HTCDev unlock (second post)
(ASO) After S-OFF (second post)
INTRO(IRO)DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for anything that happens to your device while following these instructions. I will try to help you through problems as much as I can, but I can't guarantee success, especially if you do not carefully read the instructions.
This is a comprehensive guide of all known and fully stable root/s-off methods, at this time, it covers just about all firmware versions out there. Most of these methods will require the Android SDK, so download that (Google it. A link for this really isn't necessary, and I'm sure many people could use practice googling things. ) and set it up (again, just google "android sdk," the download page even has tutorials). The downgrade methods no longer require the sdk, but it is still reccomended that you download it as it is a very useful tool. Don't forget to download the device drivers here (only neccessary on Windows) and set the PATH variable.
So, which downgrade method should you use? Most likely you will either have firmware version 5.x or 6.x, you can find out under Settings>About phone. If you are using 5.x, go to the Downgrade Tool section; if you have 6.x, go to the Tacoroot section. Both methods eventually lead to the Revolutionary section, HTCDev unlock is not reccomended and, honestly, completely pointless (read more below).
HTCDEV UNLOCK(HDV)Versions: All
HTCDev is HTC's "official" unlock, it will unlock the bootloader but leave S-ON. Don't do it. Seriously. It's a guaranteed voided warranty and pretty much a huge PITA (you can't flash radios and need to extract and separately flash ROM kernels), and s-off methods are completely stable and even relockable. That said, if for whatever reason you do wish to do this, just go to http://htcdev.com/bootloader/. If you want to obtain S-OFF at any time after using HTCDev unlock, see the second post.
Note: to flash ROMs when HTCDev unlocked, flash the ROM normally, then extract the boot.img from the rom.zip and boot into fastboot, then use the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img."
TACOROOT(TCR)Versions: 6.01.605.05 firmware
Tacoroot is a temp root method discovered by Justin Case that will allow those on the newer firmware to flash an older version and root with Revolutionary. Before you begin, download this zip containing all the files you'll need:
EDIT: Looking for the files? See this post.
Extract this zip to C:/Android. You can extract it somewhere else, just replace C:/Android with the path to the wherever you extracted it wherever it comes up. Now, connect your device to your computer with a USB cable, turn on USB Debugging under Settings>Apps>Development, and disable fastboot under Settings>Power. Make sure your phone is fully charged. Open a command prompt by opening the start menu, typing "cmd" and hitting enter. Type in everything that is in black text. Notes and extra instructions will be written in blue. It is reccomended that you copy/paste the code to avoid typos, to do this, copy by highlighting the line and hitting Ctrl+C as usual; to paste, go to your command prompt and click the small black icon in the upper left corner. A menu will pop up, go to Edit>Paste. Make sure you have not highlighted any spaces before or after the line or any of the blue text. Now, begin copying the code:
cd C:/Android
md5sums RUU_Vivo_W_Gingerbread_S_VERIZON_WWE_2.18.605.3_Radio_1.09.01.0622_NV_VZW1.92_release_199487_si.zip Remove the space in the middle of the word radio before hitting enter, I don't know why it won't let me remove it. Result should be cea499f51b40055ffd118960e1e73255, if it isn't, redownload the miniadb zip.
md5sums 1.09.01.0312_vivow_Radio_PG32IMG.zip Result should be ea6b98be48210d7797e62362f49ff751

md5sums misc_version Result should be 050f55d34ddbcc860efa5982491437de
adb devices Result should be your phone's serial number. If it isn't make sure drivers are properly installed and USB Debugging is enabled.
adb push tacoroot.sh /data/local/
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tacoroot.sh
adb shell /data/local/tacoroot.sh --setup This will reboot your phone. When you get to a screen with a red exclamation mark, press VolUp+Power until you get to a menu, then press VolUp+VolDown+Power until the phone turns off. Once it is rebooted, continue.
adb shell /data/local/tacoroot.sh --root
adb wait-for-device Running the step before this will reboot your phone again, this time it will be bootlooping, meaning it will not boot fully and get stuck on the boot animation. Once your prompt comes back after this step, you're good to continue even though the phone isn't fully booted.
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell /data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 2.18.605.3
adb shell /data/local/tacoroot.sh --undo This will reboot your phone one more time, this time fully stable and will boot completely. Continue once fully booted.
adb reboot bootloader This will reboot your phone to a white screen with a few options. Once you are at this screen, continue with the instructions.
fastboot devices Result should be your phone's serial number, again.
fastboot getvar mainver The result should be 2.18.605.3. If it is not, something was not done correctly, you'll need to restart from the beginning.
fastboot erase cache

fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip 1.09.01.0312_vivow_Radio_PG32IMG.zip Same as the above, do not interrupt under any circumstances (unless you really wanted a phone-shaped paperweight )
fastboot reboot
That's the end of the codes, you should be fully booted into the now downgraded version. Re-enable USB debugging, then continue to the Revolutionary section and follow instructions there.
DOWNGRADE TOOL
Versions: HBOOT .98, firmware below 6.01.605.05
This will not work with firmware version 6.01.605.05! Use the tacoroot method!
This tool will downgrade you to 2.3.3, which will allow you to use Revolutionary to gain S-OFF.
Download the tool here, and extract it to a folder where you can easily get to it in a command prompt/terminal.
Now, connect your device to your computer with a USB cable, and turn on USB Debugging in settings. To ensure you are connected, open a command prompt/terminal and type "adb devices". If you see a bunch of letters and numbers followed by "device," you're good to go.
Navigate to the files you extracted in a command prompt/terminal ("cd /path/to/folder," replacing /path/to/folder with the actual filepath), type "hack-vivow.cmd" and let it run. It may take a while and seem to get stuck on some commands, just leave it alone. After it's done, continue to the Revolutionary section. Yep, it really is that easy.
REVOLUTIONARY
Versions: GB 2.3.3, any others after downgrade methods
This is the final step that will actually get you S-OFF.
Go to the revolutionary website, click on the download link for your OS, you'll get a download right away. While it's downloading, fill out the form that pops up (if you don't know your serial number and have the sdk installed, open up a command prompt/terminal and type "adb devices," the letters/numbers before "device" is your serial. Extract the files and run either revolutionary or revolutionary.exe depending on your OS, enter your beta key and say yes when it asks to install CWM recovery. Let it run, and you'll be S-OFF and ready to go!
If you have any questions/comments or found something that isn't right, go ahead and post, I would greatly appreciate any positive or negative feedback, as long as it's constructive.

Get S-OFF after using HTCDev Unlock
(HSO)If you used HTCDev unlock and want to get S-OFF, follow this guide. What you get from going from HTCDev unlocked to full S-OFF is a full unlock instead of HTC's restricted unlock. This way, you can flash custom radios and flash ROMs without needing to extract and separately flash the boot.img. (Note: If you already installed a custom recovery and a custom ROM, flash this ROM and start at "adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp/misc_version" in the code.) To do this, first download this zip and extract it to C:/Android. You can extract it somewhere else, just replace C:/Android with the path to where you extracted it wherever it comes up. Next, download this zip and extract it to C:/Android. Download this zip as well and put it in your C:/Android folder, but do not extract it. Now, connect your device to your computer with a USB cable, turn on USB Debugging under Settings>Apps>Development, and disable fastboot under Settings>Power. Make sure your phone is fully charged. Open a command prompt by opening the start menu, typing "cmd" and hitting enter. Type in everything that is in black text. Notes and extra instructions will be written in blue.

That's the end of the code, you should be downgraded and can now get S-OFF by following the Revolutionary guide in the first post.
After S-OFF(ASO)So, now you have S-OFF. Congratulations! The next step would be to flash a custom recovery, then either an su zip or a custom, rooted ROM. For recoveries, the choices are ClockworkMod, 4EXT or TWRP. I personally prefer 4EXT, but TWRP is also great and has many great features. ClockworkMod is a little slower, but still stable. All ROMs and recoveries for the Dinc2 can be found in the development forums (where you found this guide), and there are many different ROMs to choose from, so check them out! If you want something rock solid and completely stable, try out CondemnedSoul's CM7 or one of the Gingerbread Sense ROMs, or if you want something newer, a bit faster, but maybe has a few minor bugs, check out one of the many ICS ROMs. If you want the latest and greatest, with a few slight bugs, go Jelly Bean with aeroevan's CM10. If you were looking to just root, download and flash the zip found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053, however, I would recommend that you try one of the Gingerbread Sense ROMs such as Skyraider Zeus if you wanted something a bit different with extra features, or andybonestock for a faster, debloated ROM that looks and feels exactly like what you're used to, but rooted.
Nice guide. I have to use the tacoroot method for a buddy of mine.

Bad links for Tacoroot.sh and .0312 radio. Great wright up though and cant wait to get my replacement unlocked.
Edit: Ok so I am almost there but have run into some issues. I cant get the 2.3.3 RUU to flash. It will get so far and stop saying bad signature verification. The one thing I noticed is that at the end of the file name it has si and not signed. I tried to change it but kinda knew that would not work and it didn't. Hope this can be fixed soon.
Edit of the edit. Ok so I followed dets34's wright up as I could not get the commands posted here to work. I put the files in the proper SDK folders and went through the commands and when I got to the RUU I hit tab after starting the name to make sure the end was si.zip. Flashed went into boot loop, boot recovery, flash newest radio, and bam no more loop with S off. Thanks to everyone who keeps us sorted out and flashing strong.

Links work fine for me. What did you do differently with dets34's tutorial?
The only thing that was different was I put misc and taco files in AndroidSDK\platforms. Then I put the RUU in the tools folder. Ran the commands and it went through first try. For the first part I cd c:\ to my platforms folder and ran the first part then cd c:\ to my tools folder and installed the RUU. Once it booted as soon as I messed with it boot loop. So flashed the radio and all seems to be fine.

Shouldn't make a difference if you added those folders to your PATH variable, that way you can use adb/fastboot commands without having to cd in.
Yea that's kinda what I thought but some how I messed it up or something because it never would flash the RUU. I am no expert at this by any means. Either way you helped out and its nice to see we don't have to worry about loops any more. :good:
Great guide, thanks! My couple of things I had to add in to make everything work:
Code:
fastboot flash zip RUU_Vivo_W_Gingerbread_S_VERIZON_WWE_2.18.605.3_Radio_1.09.01.0622_NV_VZW1.92_release_199487_si.zip
I had to add the path to this file for it to work and then afterward do a
Code:
adb reboot
to get ready for the Revolutionary process. At first Revolutionary wouldn't recognize the device when it booted. I quickly realized I needed to re-enable USB Debug.
Then I used adb to do the rebooting necessary to flash the .0312 radio.
Thanks again! Great stuff.

unroot to re-root correctly
Does anyone know a method to go back to stock on one of refurbed phones in order to re root correctly and not get the Sense bootloop? I found a few methods but they are all four hboot .97 and I have a feeling won't fix the problem.

Flash the latest firmware, or just flash whatever RUU then the .0312 radio, then follow the guide to go back to s-on.

I dont get your question. What command u typed? Check if your cmd console working directory is the same as fastboot localization.
Just ctrl rght click in folder where fastboot is and click open command window.

You must have fastboot.exe and the 2 dlls at the same directori, where you are at the moment at console (e.g. you wrote c:\fatsboot, so you need to have fastboot.exe and the 2 dlls at c:\ root to run them.)
I recommend to run fastboot and/or adb from a subdirectory from root, e.g. c:\htc\
I havehave fastboot.exe and the 2 dlls at the same directori (I rote c:\fastboot....but the same result ...

don't know what the problem here, but I had errors like this on windows 8.1 and win8, which based on the poor command-line support...
try to move to the folder itself first with cd command, then fastboot as command.

First, do not place files in the root (system could have some restrictions to run files from here). Place them in any folder and run from there (e.g. c:\fb\fastboot.exe)
Second, usualy you must be in the folder where the running file is. So do this:
cd c:\fb
fastboot ...

Btw, are you really sure you want to take the risk with unlocking/rooting/flashing? If you are not quite familiar with a simple computer tasks there is a big chance you will go wrong and the phone will become unuseful. Unless you have many of them and just playing around. =)
Have you tried using the windows AIO tool?

you may find it easier, but please do read all the instructions carefully especially about making a backup.

What exactly the command prompt says?
You have to start your phone in the fastboot mode to accept external commands. So I guess the command prompt is waiting until the phone will get to that mode.

In command prompt with your phone connected, and USB debugging turned on in your developer options, and in the folder with your boot.img (you'll need to rename the hellboy kernel file to just boot.img)
type
<adb devices>
you should see a reply showing your phones ID if you get this go for
<adb reboot bootloader>
wait for the phone to reboot to your white bootloader screen then go for
<fastboot flash boot boot.img>
then once the kernel is in
<fastboot reboot>
Again I strongly recommend using an AIO program to make sure you haven't missed a step. Its great to learn all the ways to work with your phone, but its primary use is a phone, if it breaks it won't be able to do that.
