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?

The Hack Kit works great....and I would like to know why you were banned for....we try to help all the people that get stuck....and we actually do, so if you were banned, you probably didn´t follow the instructions...
By the way, what is the issue u are having?

You could try to change SD card and try to run aahk on a ubuntu live CD.

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!

[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.

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).

[SOLVED] [Q] Cannot unlock WFS

Hi,
For some reason I seem unable to unlock my WFS
What I did since I got it:
-Updated OTA to 2.3.5, works perfectly
-Installed HTC Sync
-Go to htcdev.com, register and follow the RUU instructions, as far as I know I have an HTC EU, so i'd download the file. and EVERY TIME I get ERROR: 190 (which means my ROM ain't up-to-date) so I checked, The ROM version on the phone was the version the update tool wanted to update to, only diffrence was HBOOT (current version: 1.08.0000 needed version: 1.08.0009) so I've tried every solution here on XDA (at least I think so) but it stil doesn't work.
This is what my WFS says when I boot into the BL:
MARVEL PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.08.0000
MICROP-0451
RADIO-7.53.39.03M
Oct 31 2011, 20:38:16
Menu options:
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
CLEAR STORAGE
SIMLOCK
Any Idea what i'm doing wrong
My system is running Win7 Ultimate x64 SP1
Thanks

I have exactly the same problem. Please help.
I'm sure your misc version is other, like mines... to be sure u should check.
Well, i get it worked with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15530472&postcount=1
But used zergRush, coz 2.3.5 is patched for GingerBreak
Gimme sec i will edit this post with Tutorial

Hey, thanks for the guide on fixing error 190. I've been struggling with it for 2 hours atm. I have the same problem - updated to 2.3.5 though mobile, but the RUU says I don't have a 2.13.401.2 version (which I do).
Anyway, I followed your instructions and when I executed zergRush with "./data/local/tmp/zergRush", the symbol didn't change to #. Actually, after launching zergRush it said:
[+] Rush did it! It's GG, man!
[+] Killing ADB and restarting as root... enjoy!
Can you tell me what to do next? I'm unable to continue with getting misc.img.
just write adb shell, and continue on
Okay, that helped me, but now I'm stuck at pulling the img file.
After I wrote: "pull /sdcard/misc.img misc.img"
the cmd replied with:
"pull /sdcard/misc.img misc.img
pull: not found"
What now? What did I do wrong?
start new CMD and write adb pull /sdcard/misc.img misc.img
i would test it by myself but zergrush dont affect my phone coz i'm rooted
Okay, it works. Anyway, I'd like to ask why to edit the version to 2.13.401.22, not just 2.13.401.2.
2.13.401.2 edit to it i will check screen shots, thanks, something bugged with MS paint.
The 3rd Screen shows Good 2nd shows the WHEN is in edit mode, change it to 2.13.401.2
Crusheer, please let us know if after trying this method you were able to overcome the 190 error.
Thanks

OK, the method described above worked for me. Thanks a lot!
Thanks for the guide - this worked perfectly and now able to proceed to the next step after updating RUU - wish me luck!
I cleaned a bit Guide, Good Luck guys
Thank you so so so much!! Worked like a charm for me. Spend hours over hours before without result
I can also confirm the method worked. Thank you!
Thanks!! Another confirmation that it works!! Thanks again!!

[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...

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.

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.

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.

My hboot menu not working. When i try to boot it using vol-up & power key .... nothing is happening. What to do?
Just in case it helps. Check out a couple of links in my sig. The Desire HD page includes a couple of Desire HD rooting videos. They might help you.

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...!!
Wait for ics rom which is on way by may, Its official htc rom.

Yes, I would be glad to go back to the stock ROM. If I just could wake my phone up...
Being stucked in the HBOOT screen, rooting it is not my main concern now. Having a usable device is!

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 ?

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....

[Q] DHD rooting/flashing issues

Hi folks,
Have been going round in circles trying to root and flash my mate's DHD. I've been reading various threads and trying various methods but to no avail.
His DHD was originally on Froyo 2.2 and he took the T-Mobile OTA update to 2.3 w/Sense 3.0 when it was rolled out. As I understand it, it must be downgraded back to 2.2 before we can get full root access?
I've installed SDK on my PC and have been able to push tacoroot and misc_version to the phone. However, when running tacoroot, it reboots to go into recovery and I get the red triangle with the exclamation mark. The phone won't boot into recovery manually either. I've already done a factory reset to see if that helped, but no joy.
What am I doing wrong? Should the phone be able to access recovery completely stock? I never had this much hassle with my Desire - can't believe the DHD is such a pain in the backside. He has the phone with him now (he needs it tomorrow) but we're going to re-attempt tomorrow afternoon.
Am I doing things in the right order? Why do I keep getting the red triangle when trying to go into recovery?
Your help would be much appreciated!
well, as far as i remember you need to downgrade to 1.32 specifically.
and another thing, have you tried using advanced hack kit? it is pretty much one click solution, but can be tricky if the pc it runs from is not compleatly clean.
Try this on an Ubuntoo live CD, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1259821
worked like a charm for me..
I'm running Windows and followed the Hack Kit instructions to the letter. We're making more progress than before, but have run into the following problem:

Edit: Although I don't think it's a Windows issue, I'm downloading the Ubuntu live disc and will try it with that.
You have a couple of issues from the output you posted. In the beginning it couldn't find the zergrush files to temp root. This leads me to believe it was a bad download of kit. Did you verify the md5 for file integrity? And the second was an error with the SD card. You might want to try a different one
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA
Checked the MD5 - came back fine. Have swapped the SD card for another one - formatted to FAT32 with nothing else on it.
Will re-run.
Still downloading the Ubuntu disc (!) so will try that in a mo if a re-run with a new SD card doesn't work.
Thanks for the input, much appreciated!
Edit: Exactly the same issue again. Will try it under Ubuntu.

That doesn´t seem to be an sdcard issue. Download the Kit again and extract it all in the same folder...The cases experiencing your issue are mostly for missing files in the hack kit.
Look this in the code you pasted: "...cannot open 'tools/bin/zergRush': No such file or directory..."

I guessed the issue with the missing files but he said the md5 check out.
I mention the SD card because of the line of error writing to mmcblk1. After the line creating goldcard, but you spend more time helping out in the irc to know better than me

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:
