[Q] Goldcard + Downgrade + Root Generic Desire Z (Asian version - Indonesian)

Hi all,
First of all I have an Asian version Generic HTC Desire Z (Asian version but not under a provider) with the following software information:
Android version 2.2.1
Baseband: 12.28e.60.140fU_26.04.02.17_M2
Kernel: 2.6.32.21-g6e170e7....
Build: 1.82.707.1 CL317545 release-keys
Software: 1.82.707.1
My CID is HTC_044
From what I read, in order to root, we have to downgrade the software version to 1.34..... , right?
SO thats what I did.
I have followed the steps to downgrade in ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905261 )
and creating a goldcard ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=832503 )
I tried both (2 different attempts) the PC10IMG.zip file and exe/RUU file, and have copied the whole zip file onto the SDCard (not in any folder), without extracting the files.
When I get to step 9-10 (phone in bootloader mode), I receive an error message like user "waqypaqy" got.
When I reboot into the bootloader, the phone scans the SD card, then I get this:
SD Checking...
Loading...[PC10DIAG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Loading...[PC10IMG.zip]
No Image!
Then after a few minutes, comes to another screen and says:
"CID incorrect! Update Fail! Press <POWER> to reboot."
From the bootscreen, here's the info:
VISION PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT -0.85.0009
RADIO-26.04.02.17_M2
eMMC-boot
CID Incorrect!
Update Fail!
Press <POWER> to reboot
Does anyone know what's wrong with this?
It'd be great if anyone could help me.
THANKS in advance =)
PS: I can't post under the "Development" forum because I'm still a newbie and doesn't have enough postcount yet.

The goldcard bypasses the CID check, so you can try looking at that first. Can you confirm that you've correctly written the image from the PSAS site to your sdcard?

Hey theSpam,
I have tried creating the goldcard before, and have received the goldcard image through the email and have updated img through HxD editor (as per the instructions). But like what I said before, it gave me that CID incorrect message.
I'm sorry this might be a stupid question, but how do I check whether I've written the image from the PSAS site? What is the PSAS site?
Thank You for your help =)

I was just asking you to doublecheck that you've correctly written goldcard.img to your sdcard. Most people have issues during this step of the goldcard creation process.
Just open up your sdcard in HxD and see if it's there

Are you using the Asian RUU to get the PC10IMG.zip file? I found this made a difference.

Oh yeah, I have followed all of the instructions in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=832503 for part 1.
I have copied the contents of goldcard.img into the removable disk image and saved the file.
Then I went back to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905261, and followed the steps in that guide.
I only managed to get upto step 10.
Then it showed the error I mentioned above.
The RUU exe file I got was from here:
http://www.shipped-roms.com/shipped/Vision/
I downloaded the file with this name "RUU_Vision_HTC_WWE_1.34.405.5_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155556_signed.exe"
This is the asian version, right?
I got the rom.zip file by following Part 2 steps in the link above.

That's WWE version, you need RUU_Vision_hTC_Asia_HK_CHT_1.34.708.3_Radio_12.28b .60.140e_26.03.02.18_M2_release_154602_signed.exe

By using this one, it wont turn the language into chinese right?
=) =)
I was told by someone that it would, thats why I didn't try this one..hihi
Oh, and will the steps I have to follow change because of this different filename?

I would also recommend going back and double-checking all those steps for creating the goldcard, because it sounds like it's not recognising a goldcard.

Hi steviewevie,
I just want to make sure whether i've followed the steps correctly or not.
Making the goldcard:
During step 4, "Enter 'adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc2/mmc2:*/cid' and press enter. You should get a very long number copy it."
This is the number that I get: 479a002f86c320087483035535443530
Step 5 "Visit this page, paste in your number and reverse it."
When I opened the link for that step, there isn't any textfield where I can paste in my number.
So what I did was reverse the number manually into 035344535530384780023c68f200a974
Step 6. I entered the reversed number into the SD Card Serial (CID) text field.
Question: Can I reverse it manually?
Thank you mate (and to anyone who is kind enough to help) =)

As you have downgraded, you can follow the guide found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision to achieve permanent root.
Once you have ClockwordMod Recovery installed (per the above guide), you can flash Cyanogen.
As for the radio, I personally don't recommend changing anything due to the brick risk (however, many others share opposite opinions).

4. Numbers: I can only see several digits on the letters, they are 1 2 4 5 0
5. And most of all I just found out that HTC Sync does not work with CM =( (can't sync my contacts n calendar anymore through outlook 2010)
Would you have any ideas why this is happening?

[Q] how to root my HTC desire HD version Android 2.3.5 with HTC sense 3.0

Hi Everybody!!
I would like to root my HTC desire HD with android version 2.3.5 & HTC sense 3.0.
As per the xda forums I have tried both the options
1. Using the unlock root tool.
2. using the Advance Ace hack kit tool.
Using the first option it gives me an error saying that "Failed to get the shell root"
Using the 2nd option Advance ace kit tool. I had run the hack-ace.cmd file using run as administrator.
Then after entering the key it asked me to downgrade it as the version it latest.
I downloaded saying "yes" then it asked for Flash to downgrade option.
After that during the time of rebooting under the flash downgrade option, it got stuck under the HBOOT menu.
I am attaching the text file of advance ace kit tool run by me for any evaluation purpose.

I would click on the irc link in the ace hack kit and get help there...

Hi Prashanti,
I was stuck in HBOOT or green HTC Logo (bootloop) the other day
Thanks to one the members from xda I have managed to to put the stock rom back in.
Heres the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275632&page=38
Hope it helps my friend!
Kind regards,

The AAHK usually will complete the process itself quite easily, but you have to prepare the correct drivers etc....I tried it on Windoze first and it didn't work, then got home ran it n Mac and it went smoothly as anything.

Hi after the AAKT dint help me. I have read the Effen manual ...during the time of flash downgrade it says that phone will boot in hboot and v will prompt with "vol-up" button then reboot with flashing twice..
But this dint happen only i got hboot but no instruction.
Then as per my previous post reply i tried the manual downgrade. still it dint worked after creating the gold card too.
It gives me an error saying "device not found in the command prompt as per section 2b in one of the xda forum Gingerbread method.
Please help!!

Have you tried my method? Go into recovery, plug your phone in to your pc, go to shipped Rom and download your stock rom.
Run it from your pc and you will be fine. The manual method did not worked for me but this did. Just look at my link in my previous post.

Exactly the same problem here... Using the AAHK failed and I'm stuck on the HBOOT screen with volume and power keys unresponsive.
My AAHK run looks exactly like mine (except that I used the linux version).
Btw, I also had DHD with OTA Gingerbread 2.3.5 and Sense 3.0.
Help will be greately appreciated...!!

Sorry, didn't realised that your buttons don't work also.
I am not experienced enough to help you I'm afraid. I'm sure someone will be able to guide you in the right direction.
Good luck!

Good news (partially):
I've talked to people at the AAHK IRC channel. They told me this problem was due to a corrupted sd card.
Following their advise, I've changed to another sd card. As a result, my HBOOT is now responding!
However, if I try to boot normaly, my phone does not boot. They said this is weird, and that I would have to flash an RUU. I've not done this before, but I think there are good tutorials around, so I'll give it a try...

Partial good news are better than no news my friend! Please keep us posted on your progress.
By the way, are you S-off ?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD A9191 using XDA App

Problem solved!
As proposed by the AAHK team (on their irc channel):
- Removed the sd card.
- Flashed an original (vodafone) RUU.
- Placed another sd card.
- Ran the AAHK again.
This time the AAHK ran smoothly and I ended up with an S-OFF terminal.
Now let those ROMs come...

Well done mate!
Enjoy and thanks for posting the result. May come in handy for the future

I am still getting stuck both in windows & Linux Ubuntu....

Did you "read the effen manual" as you are advised multiple times to do? It really is important. Making sure you aren't running any antivirus is quite important too.
The ACE Hack Kit includes all you need to root your phone. And it does it all for you with very little user input.

I'm having the same issue, I have read the effen manual at least 10 times, tried the chat support and got no reply, then got banned.
I have followed all instructions to the letter yet my downgrade is still failing.
Any one have any ideas?

** It will then check the file just sent.
** If everything is okay, the phone will
** prompt you to continue by pressing
** VOLUME UP. It will reboot, flashing twice.
**** PUSH POWER WHEN THIS STEP COMPLETES ****
If downgrade is successful, you may set up the phone and try to hack it again.
Once the downgrade is successful, press a key to return to the menu......
Otherwise, cut and paste the output to the screen into a text file for evaluatio
n.... then press a key.
Press any key to continue . . .

what the last state of your phone..?, is that already success downgrade by that script..?, or what..?
becuse what i know is...the script needed running twice step process if your phone is already had gingerbread os..
1. first the script need running for downgrade it your phone to froyo version..
2. running that script again for continued processing gaining s-off if the first downgrade process is already success..
what i know is that AAHK script is already retried...
the best way you can try is using AAHK2 script by Phiber2000 from here..
but before that...you must read carefully the guide from that thread..what requirement and compatible for running that script correctly...
hope this can help..

it can be you're had the wrong img downgrade RUU file..or you had bad sd card..
to fix that..you must download the correct RUU file (PD98IMG-GBX.zip) for downgrade process..that are suitable with your CIDnum of your phone...
to do that..you must check it your phone CIDnum with fastboot command "fastboot getvar all" then you will see your CIDnum in the output of the command is in the line "INFO CIDNUM XXXXXXXX.."
example : if your CIDNUM is HTC__044 then the downgrade RUU file you must download is "PD98IMG-GB6.zip" file
if your RUU file for downgrade is already correct but AAHK still fail..then you can try using different sd card..
did you already try using AAHK2 script by Phiber2000 from the link that i give it to you above or still using AAHK first version..?

my bad!

just do not rename it that file..lets try just ignore it what AAHK2 say's...firstly just remove PD98IMG-GB2.zip file from PD98IMG folder (AAHK2 sub folder) that you try already using it before..and just put it your new PD98IMG-GB9.zip to PD98IMG folder under AAHK2 script sub folder..and try running that script again..don't forget to disable your antivirus first before running AAHK2 script..
and just don't forget to using sd card brand that are mentioned from the AAHK2 thread it self..like Sandisk, ADATA, Samsung, Patriot Memory (this is important)
just let me know..can you show me screen shot while running that AAHK2 script process..

Thank youu! IT worked!
thank you for helping.!
I manually copied the zip file to SD card and i locked boot loader, then i boot it with hboot and hoot recognised PD98IMG.ZIP and it flashed automatically. then i run old AAHK(NOT AAHK2) and IT WORKED!
THANK YOU!

I apologize. I heard that in some cases, not even that could fix it. I meant to say that there is not a fix that works in 100% of scenarios (my three-vibe could not be rectified without the use of JTAG, which I did not want to get into here.)

Oh! I understand that! I was just trying to provide a common method that I had read. I understand you weren't saying I was wrong. I was actually about to add something about your tutorial, but I had another project I was working on.
Yes, my goal is that this can be a place to help most Marvelc users solve most of their problems with as many alternatives as possible while still being fairly noob-friendly.
Thank you for reminding me of your tutorial as it slipped my mind while I was writing this in the beginning!

What you need to do is download ClockWork Mod 5.0.2.8 from http://download.clockorkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.8-marvelc.img and then rename it to recovery.img. If you're on Windows, put it into the same directory as your ADB and fastboot commands. Next, you'll need to put your phone in fast boot mode. Go into HBOOT and choose "Fastboot" by scrolling with the volume keys and selecting with the power key.
Connect your phone to your computer.
Next, depending on the OS of your computer, launch Command Prompt (Windows) or Terminal (Linux/Mac). Navigate to the directory with recovery.img. Now type: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and then power off your phone when it's done.
Now boot into recovery. Go to HBOOT and choose recovery. Now, get on your computer and find a ROM that you like (something fairly stable). Download it. Find Simon's super wipe. Download it.
Connect your phone to your computer (if you removed it earlier).
In recovery, scroll to Mounts and Storage. Go to USB Connect or something similar (it will be near the bottom). Then on your computer, place your desired rom and the super wipe. Remove the phone from your computer and choose "Go back" on your phone. Go back to the main menu.
Backup.
Flash the super wipe. Then flash your ROM.
Go back to the main menu and reboot.

Great!! thanks this seems legit I will try this as soon as I get to my PC uhm I have windows btw and have no clue how to put the cwm into my adb / fastboot directory but I will search more about it when possible thanks for your help

Well, if you're on Windows, you should have a directory like C:\Android\ or something like that.
If you're on a Mac just do:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/recovery.img
If you want to have the file anywhere on Windows, you still need to have fastboot somewhere and then do the same command I just typed above.
For more instructions, follow the instructions in the guide under "I can't flash a custom recovery"

Ok In your tutorial you say "go to the folder "tools" and launch "android". Download "Android SDK Platform-Tools" " when I try to launch android nothing happens only a black cmd: box will appear for a split second then goes away. The android I'm trying to launch in the tools folder is a Windows Batch File is this the correct file?

Do you have Java installed? http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
Also, you should get the JDK: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1637583.html
See if that works.

I downloaded java and the JDK file installed etc
Tried unzipping the sdk file again then went to the android tried to launch and same result I'm on (windows 7 64x bit).
I downloaded something when I was searching forums that kind of sounded like the file I'm suppose to be downloading the platform tools but there called android tools instead here's the files in it below
adb
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll
fastboot
Do you think this is the same thing? I've flashed roms on the Optimus V before so I am a little familiar with the platform tools but when i downloaded them last time I just have to go into SDK manager.

That's what you want. Move them into a folder at the root of your hard drive (C:\) called "Android". (C:\Android\)

Okay great!! I went ahead and tried doing some command prompts and this is what I typed
I'm in the android file it currently says
C:\Android>
I tried typing "adb reboot bootloader" and it says
*daeon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
*daemon started successfully *
error: device not found
now my phone is connected to my PC its in fastboot mode it says in red on my phone FASTBOOT USB so I know for sure it's connected is there something wrong?

You're already in the bootloader. Fastboot is the bootloader, or at least part of it. You have use fastboot commands in fastboot.

Okay that's what I kind of thought so I tried typing fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
and it says
error: cannot load 'recovery.img'
it is placed in the same directory as the tools are too.

I went and re downloaded your CWM on your tutorial and deleted the one I renamed and didn't rename it this time just kept it the way it was I then tried flashing it and success I'm now going to reboot my hboot and see if it worked but also I was searching forums and google but could not come across simmons super wipe... I will keep looking though but if you have time maybe throw a link on a post for me but thanks for helping me I hope it goes smooth from now on

A thought just occured that I may have overlooked in my many (unsuccessful) attempts of curing a sent-to-me 3 vibe...
Correct me if I'm wrong on this, but sd needs to be made a goldcard; so that PG76IMG.zip will auto-load...
Been a long time since I attempted but I don't remember if I checked the sd to make sure it was goldcard'd. I will go charge it up and test this new theory tomorrow (still sitting in a side-basket at work). Sometimes my mind takes a minute to put ALL the pieces together

Right, a Goldcard (unless one is S-OFF or ENG) will be required. However, achieving a goldcard requires ADB access to your phone. (The Simple GoldCard tool reads a file in /proc/*/*/ I believe to get the CID required for goldcard.) Now, ADB access is quite difficult with a bricked phone as you cannot boot into Android (or recovery) and to get S-OFF you would need to borrow the HTC Wildfire S (it MUST be a Wildfire S) to get the goldcard required.
Even with what I just said, depending on how bad your phone is bricked (Flashing a GSM RUU, for example), you may have a 100% bricked radio, thus resulting in an entirely bricked HBOOT not allowing you flash a PG76IMG.zip.
Another idea I have is that the Marvel is a PG761**** for the model number, and an incorrect RUU is the most common brick for Marvelc. What may be an issue is that the Marvelc is a PG762**** model number. The current files we have for un-bricking are Marvelc, but the android-info.txt for modelid says PG762000, therefore a GSM HBOOT (especially a locked, RUU HBOOT) would not take that file as it is for Marvelc.
What I think would be necessary is: a goldcard + a PG76IMG.zip with a GSM android-info.txt, but Marvelc radio, ROM, HBOOT, etc.
This is my idea on how we may need to do this. However, as the GSM HBOOT cannot get S-OFF without XTC-Clip which we can't use due to a lack of SIM card slot.
To get a 100% working-in-all-methods 3-Vibe Brick Recovery Method, we are waiting for the people in the S-OFF thread to get a full software S-OFF. However, even with that, we may still have issues...
I have spent a lot of time thinking about this, actually. (I'm a planner; not a dev :crying: so I can't be of much help with the dev part.) However, if it ever becomes a Team BlueRidge project to fix this type of brick (or a project by any group) I will be happy to plan (but not test just yet).
Since now we're moving into a very difficult and not-so-noob-friendly as I am intending for this thread to be, it may be a good idea to either start a new brainstorming thread or to PM or IRC or something.
Anyway, those are my thoughts.

Trouble rooting HTC DESIRE HD.. please help

those are some of the errors I get with other tools I try to use..:
Code:
"file "sc" is missing or corrupt
Your PC window ENV is damaged and should be repaired.
At least one default system file is missing, corrupt
or the windows pc env has been otherwise compromises.
The hack kit quits before damage is done to your phone.

Try finding a RUU here and update your device to GB 2.3.5 and then try using the Easy Ace Root Tool, everything should run smoothly from there. Im not sure if it will be the same for you but for me this one works perfectly. Im in North America with At&T as my service provider.

Your bootloader does not allow unlocking. Use a goldcard to flash a ruu that supports hboot update or try updating the hboot first.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using xda app-developers app

you need to update your hboot first before you can unlock your bootloader.. either via ruu or create a goldcard and flash the hboot update, once your bootloader is unlock you can now use easy ace rooting tool, which you already have... hope it helps :fingers-crossed:
