I want to slash one of the Custom ICS Betas
Phone: HTC Desire
Androdid 2.2.2
Baseband 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27

*** Unlocked ***
Bravo PV1 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-1.03.0003
Radio-5.11.05.27
advanced applogies for a newb question if it is, im more of Windows Mobile/ Windows Phone/iOS person, - Chevron/Jailbreaking them seems far easyr.
Is there a way to Root this thig with HBOOT-1.03.0003 and Software: 2.29.405.14 ???

This is a question. Y u no post in questions forum?

Reported.

i cant find anything in Q&A about HBOOT-1.03.0003
i have tried UnrEVOked 3.32.
i know someone will flame me for asking this, i expected it... if u havent noticed i been with this forum since 2007, and i do know how to use Q&A and i would not be asking a question if it was a simple matter...
unless u can point me to the right tool or guide for HBOOT-1.03.0003 with S-ON, u can save flaming to yourself

Sorry to bring you a bit of bad news... the official HTC S-OFF is a real *****! There's no patch for HBOOT-1.03.0003 out there yet and I don't know if there will ever be one. You can try writing to the guys doing Revolutionary (i.e. Alpharev and Unrevoked) and see if they plan on patching this new HBOOT version.

to get a s-off... goldcard and downgrade

Yeah, if he has one. IIRC goldcard was only an instrument in rooting branded phones? The error code would mention incorrect CID or something like that.

Goldcard didnt work, it says somthing like no image or wrong image after a bar on right hand side goes up....
also quick question is Reversing CID from CMD is just like 12a456 to 654a21 or is it something else, coz http://hexrev.soaa.me/ gives me some other result.
aka my CID from cmd is
1e41425553442xxxx0058003fd00a5f6 so reverse shuld be
6f5a00df3008500xxxx24435552414e1
and then replace first too with 00
but that site gives me 00a500fd038005xxxx2044535542411e
im a litttle confused :s

and just to be clear i now have UNlocked Bootloader (officeal by HTC) what tools are compatible with that for me to be able to flash ?

Use yours just be careful, triple check everything you doing
Btw... All tools are up to hboot 1.02, unlocked bootloader is not s-off

When ever I insert a sim it says network locked, I have read and followed some of the instructions on this forums with no luck and success in getting it unlocked. Im a noob whose been eager to learn the trade and I always come to loose ends, can anyone just point or direct me how to do this in a way I can do this successfully? Thanks you very much... I really appreciate you guys for doing such hard labor answering all of these questions.

Little background would help. How did you get S-Off, or did somebody else do it? And "followed some of the instructions on this forums" isn't very specific, there are several methods to S-Off and root.
gfree will give you S-Off. But not sure if you can run this if you are already S-Off.

Gfree gives u Sim unlock. You probably just have fake s off
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

It's all in the Wiki. S-OFF is not the same as SIM unlock, that's a totally different issue (but is often addressed at the same time as S-OFF etc).
So it seems you have some sort of S-OFF, but are still SIM locked.

[Q] I need to go back to stock ROM but have no idea how

Hello all. I am a complete novice at Android phones. I have a Desire HD which I bought from a friend about 18 months ago who had installed CyanogenMod on the phone. I am now moving to Giffgaff and need to unlock the phone. I got an unlock code based on the IMEI and when I enter it, despite it saying network lock successful, the sim continues as unregistered and each time I reset the phone it asks me for the Network Unlock code again. I am told it is because of Cyanogen and I need to go back to the start.
Here is all the info I have:
Android Version : 2.3.7
Kernel Version : [email protected] #1
Mod Version : CyanogenMod 7.1.0-DesireHD
Build Number: GWK74
I have tried to follow a number of guides on this site but something always goes wrong and if I am honest I don't really get what I'm doing. I downloaded an .exe from StockRoms and that looked like it was going well but then died at the end with no specific errors.
Can anybody point me in the right directions as to how to achieve this?
Thanks!

Are you S-OFF or have an unlocked booloader?

I don't know - sorry - how do I know if I am S-OFF.
I think i have an unlocked Bootloader - I have ROM Manager that has been booted into recovery mode a few times while I've been trying these things. Again how can I know for sure though?

Boot in hboot and find it out....power off the device and then boot by pressing power + volume down

Sorry I could have googled how to do that before posting - my apologies!
It says this:
ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.00.0027
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.14.04.28_M
eMMC-boot
Am guessing this means I am not S-OFF?
I did see this screen before when I tried to use the Simlock feature. It says this when runs:
FAT32 init OK
OPEN MCCMNC file fail
Open CID file fail
Process done, reboot device?
Of course the process is not done.

With an unlocked bootloader you won't be able to flash a RUU. Besides you need a RUU for your device and not any RUU. If not, you will need a goldcard.

Is it possible to lock my bootloader? Is that a stupid question?
I have found the "right" RUU here:
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Ace
Is there anything I need to do to make this work? S-OFF maybe?

Yes, it is possible to lock your bootloader. S-Off is no longer available; AAHK, the tool to get it, was retired this morning.

Thanks all, I sense that this could be tricky overall.
Perhaps a different approach is needed - is there another way to Sim Unlock the phone?

[Q] Dhd orange uk brand: problem official updates

HI TO ALL,
WE BRIEFLY EXPOSE MY PROBLEM.
IN JANUARY I BOUGHT A DHD FROM ALIBABA WEBSITE FROM CHINA,
THE PHONE TO ALL APPEARANCE LOOKED LIKE IN THE DESCRIPTION,
ONLY WHEN OPERATORS VERIFICATION HTC I DISCOVER THAT THE DHD
It's BRANDED UK, and that in ANY CASE it was UNLOCKED, so much is that I USE HERE IN ITALY with 3 CARD.
INFORMATION SOFTWARE is WRITTEN that I MOUNT a ROM 2.3.3
SENSE 2.1 SOFTWARE NUMBER 2.50.405.2
THE PROBLEM ARISES HERE.
To USE the HTC'S OFFICIAL GUIDE to UNLOCKING the BOOTLOADER I NEED the VERSION NUMBER 2.50.61.3
BUT I DO NOT UPDATE Correctly, and ACCORDING to HTC OPERATORS THIS HAPPENS because the PHONE is unlocked and HAS an UNOFFICIAL VERSION of the 2.50.405.2 SOFTWARE.
YOU UNDERSTAND THAT IS NOT OFFICIAL?
AND THE OTHER THING THAT I DID NOT UNDERSTAND IS THIS: HOW DO I AT THIS POINT TO USE THE HTC OR ANY OTHER GUIDE WHICH REQUIRES FROM ME A VERSION THAT I DON'T HAVE?
THE FACT THAT IT HAS BEEN UNLOCKED, WHICH I DO NOT KNOW HOW IT WAS DONE, I HAVE TO PERFORM CERTAIN PRELIMINARY STEPS BEFORE RUNNING A ROOT RELEASE?
Thank you.
THESE ARE THE INFORMATION MEETING IN BOOTLOADER:
ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT - 0.85.0024

First, your all-caps style is difficult to read. Second, you are already S-Off; you don't need to unlock anything because you've already got something better. Just flash a recovery image from fastboot and flash a ROM from that recovery. If you don't know how to do that, look at the Ace Think Tank in my signature.

it's ok..but
I realized that the phone is already in s-off.
in another Italian forum have advised me to use advance tool kit to take root.
for you is an intuitive program? can I use so I not expert?
Another question: where can I download it?
This program does not block the phone and only serves to unlock the root?
thank

Hack kit is retired. Signing to this forum you agree to follow the rules...then do it. Read the stickies and the guides available. Besides you have another post saying that you want to unroot....
