Root problem with "Advanced Ace Hack Kit" - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I try to root the DHD for a friend, but a problem occured during the process and it stay block on the HTC white screen on startup.
When i was doing the AAHK, the usb connection lost and now i can only access to the recovery mode with "ACE HACK KIT ".
I try this thing without result :
- Installing MIUI from SDCard
- Installing Android Revolution HD from SDCard
- Getting back with PD98IMG.zip form recovery mode (I was not sure of which version to use)
- Getting back with PD98IMG.zip form HBoot (I was not sure of which version to use).
I have no more idea....
This is what appears when I start in recorvery :
ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-0.85.0024
RADIO-26.03.02.26_M
eMMC-boot
(Aprs 12 2011, 00:55:45)
I have ClockworkMode Recovery v4.0.1.4.
Can you help me ?
Did I break the phone ?

You should only attempt to root & modify handsets if you understand what you are doing.
Have you read & understood the "effing manual" included with the AAHK?
Did you follow the guide to the letter?
If you did and still are having issues, hop onto the AAHK IRC channel. They actively monitor it and will help you, if you followed the instructions.
Sadly thats all the advice we can give you.
As your new, I doubt you have searched and found that the question you asked is not unique. Jump onto the IRC channel and get help there.

Howdy Guys
A few days ago a mate of mine employed me to help him root his new toy. After doing mine multiple times (for various reasons) it was supposed to a piece of cake.
My method (I may have missed a point or two but you get the main idea):
1. Unrevoked
2. Install Titanium Backup, full backup
3. Copy entire SD contents
4. Install Rom Manager / Partition SD Card
5. Copy rom over to SD Card and install
6. Upgrade radio
7. From rom restore stuffs and go nuts
(optional but wanted to do)
8. S-OFF via bootable USB stick
Anyway turns out almost every step of the way was hampered because of new hardware. Here's the HBoot screen details:

For anyone else that has a desire with these specs please save yourself a lot of time and "oh ****" moments and know the following:
- Clockwork recovery will not work, you need to flash ArmonRa via the SDK with fastboot.exe OR via Unrevoked, before plugging in your phone go File > Choose alternate recovery and link it to AmonRa which you downloaded.
- Rom manager will not work (as it relies on ClockworkRecovery)
- SD Card partitioning and Upgrading to EXT3 needs to be done in AmonRa Recovery.
- Current S-OFF methods will not work and will send black lines across your HTC Boot splash screen. S-OFF tool reports failure at step 3. Ripping the battery and then restoring via recovery is the only fix.
Cheers.

Sounds bad...But it should not take much time till there is a working solution for this
i have that type of desire.
and i have encounter no problem on rooting unrevoked /s-off with alphaville 1.5
i have used various roms (auraXsense and hd roms Rcmix, ownhere dhd)
used amonra and clockmodwork....at least 30 times
i have used 3,4 radio versions and upgraded to the latest 5.11.05.27
everything works and stable with richard v5f kernel and rcmix 14 + set cpu....
and they are working.
it is exactly your specification
except that now mine is S-off.
spec seems the same except
Bravo Pvt3 ship S-off but maybe is from the s-off procedure

really i do not know if it was before pvt4 or what pvt3/4 means...
anyway i want to know considering maybe i will encounter future desire and maybe you are right... and it is possible that they are not working.
you cold try a Ruu update and try again the all process maybe something went wrong somewhere
You not seen the rather LARGE thread in General about this??
I have the same specs on my Desire and the latest clockwork(2.5.1.2) works. I'm not S-Off.
I flashed 6-7 roms with no problems.
I didn't use RomManager,so I don't know, but partitioned the sd card from recovery, under advanced options with no problems.
Only happens on some PVT4 devices (two different types), and there is already a thread about this.
My PVT4 has clockwork, S-OFF, root, custom splash1, etc.

Yea there is definitely a new model i have the same problems. Clockwork Recovery dont work only Amon Ra and Alpharev dont work either. Stops at step 3 everytime saying:
"Could not push the initial files during step 1. this is most likely a permissions error on your data partition.
We have tried our best to circumvent this, but most likely your ROM is either not rooted properly, causing failure.
Your best option is to backup everything, and flash a custom ROM that is properly rooted and has ADB root.
Remember: your HBOOT is NOT S-OFF, and it is not bricked."

UNABLE TO BOOT TO RECOVERY/ S-ON /STUCKED ON HTC LOGO WHITE SCREEN (Please HELP!)

Hi,
I don't really know where to start and have no idea what actually causes the issue, please just bare with me guys as I badly need your help.
Here's the thing;
My Phone was rooted way back using unrevoked method (as far as I remember)
> Radio was upgraded to the latest (afaik)
> I have created a cheap generic GoldCard with Ext2 & 3 which is kind of slow and so I decided to try different kinds of Custom ROM.
> I recently installed GingerVillain (GingerBread2.3.4).
> I enabled apps to sd for protected apps using the Terminal I downloaded from Market.
> I was on the process of moving apps to sd (including those when it suddenly started bootlooping. After 4x of loops, I decided to remove the battery. From there I know something went wrong.
> I normally would just go to clockwork recovery and do the reinstallation process in rectifying such issue, but to my surprise I was not able to boot into recovery as well and stucked in Fastboot & Hboot and if I try to boot normally, then it will be up to HTC logo only.
> I also noticed that security flag was turned on (S-ON) wherein it was turned off when I bought it and still Off after I rooted using unrevoked method.
> When I checked the SD it was corrupted already and had to format & repartition it using Ubuntu's Gparted Partition Utility. (I bought a new one as a replacement but was unable to make it a GoldCard as it probably requires that it is inside your phone and running in OS)
>> Did some research for few days and here's what I've tried so far. <<
- Tried to use AlphaRev to turn off the security but was unsuccessful since it requires that you have to be inside the OS (ROM) which is not possible at the moment.
- Tried to use RUU to just unroot it and get back to zero but still unsuccessful, it encountered USB Connection Error....many times.
- Tried getting the rom.zip inside RUU and renaming it to PB99IMG.zip, loaded it using hboot but still unsuccessful, it says CID Incorrect! Update Fail.
- I read that downgrading Hboot would most likely resolve the issue but I really have no idea how to do it, no clear steps are roaming out there upon doing my research.
- Some says, you can push the ClockWork using ADB but doing it actually fails....Error....and no clear steps.
I don't really know what kind of issue(s) I am facing now guys.
I am totally on the edge of my seat.
I must have been missing something along the way...(I know I am)
If somebody would be helpful enough to point & show the way in resolving this issue, that would be greatly appreciated (step by step maybe).
These are the details in my Hboot UI that would hopefully helps (if that will make sense).

{UPDATE......ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED...Read my post down....}
If you do not have a goldcard you must find an RUU specifically for your phone. I'm on Vodafone UK and it appears there are a couple of Vod UK RUUs out there but only one of them would flash correctly. The others left me in a state like yours.

So Sorry for the long delay...been busy and Sick these past days...
Ok here goes.
The steps will be assuming that we have "Exactly" the same issue so if ever along the way you think that something might have gone different then I suggest you discontinue following the steps as you might end up with a Totally Bricked Desire. (which I am not liable of )
Credits to the people who created ALL steps I have copied and pasted in here!
Here's what I did in my case;
(**Make sure your unit is totally charged up)
Step 1:
Downgrade Hboot & Unroot (restore shipped ROM) your device;
- Get the latest RUU for your region (make sure it is for your region) from Shipped Roms. (remember to check the md5 sum, we don't want to download a corrupted file )
- Run the RUU as administrator.
- When it gets to the portion of asking you to plugged in the device,, click Start and type %temp% in the search box, it will come up with a folder named Temp,,Open it.
- Using the search bar (again) in the temp folder that we just opened, type in rom.zip when you see rom.zip, move it to desktop or anywhere you like, then you can cancel the opened RUU process.
- Create GoldCard (other threads doesn't suggest to use a GoldCard YET as the ROM will run even without a GoldCard, but in my case...Ordinary SD Card doesn't work for me at all leaving me in creating a GoldCard). Format the SD Card to FAT32 afterwards.
- Rename the rom.zip to PB99IMG.zip
- Copy it to the SD Card root
- Boot to Hboot (Vol- plus Power)
- Hboot will then detect the zip and will load it up, Wait for few minutes and grab a cup of coffee .
- When it finds PB99IMG.zip, it starts to load it;
It gives the next options after few minutes from the initial key press of Vol- and Power key.
Parsing………………….[SD zip]
1. Bootloader
2. Radio V2
3. Radio_Cust
4. Boot
5. Recovery
6. System
7. Userdata
8. Splash1
9. Splash2
Do you want to update device?
<Vol Up> Yes
<Vol Down> No
and so we would want to choose Yes
During the Process, it will reboot and will reload PB99IMG.zip again and will continue with its process....if ever you got stucked into HTC screen again after it reboots during the process, you can pretty much remove the battery then boot to Hboot again and it will continue with its thing.
If it asks for a reboot, choose Yes.
If you pressed Yes, then:
Update is in progress..
Do not power off your device.
1. Bootloader -OK
2. Radio V2 -OK
3. Radio_Cust -OK
4. Boot -OK
5. Recovery-Unzipping/Updating
6. System
7. Userdata
8. Splash1
9. Splash2
If it asks for a reboot again, choose Yes.
On rebooting, HTC screen shows up for a few seconds.
Then a green Down arrow in a green circle shows up for another 5-6 seconds.
Then, HTC screen again.
Finally, HTC screen disappears and the HTC Quietly brilliant logo shows.
Your device now boots into the Android phone.
DONE with Step 1...your phone is now unrooted, Hboot downgraded and is back into its Shipped State.
**If you encountered error during the initial loading of PB99IMG then chances are the ROM you downloaded might not be the one for your device, remember that the ROM vary from region to region so you must make sure you have downloaded the right one....
Step 2:
S-Off your device
- AlphaRev will guide you here
**no need to NANDROID since you don't have anything to...
**This thing will actually install its customized CWM Recovery which you'll find it COOL......& will also upgrade your Hboot again
Step 3:
It's time to ROOT your phone again.
- Use Unrevoked Method,,,the EASIEST way as far as I know.
Step 4:
Flash a custom ROM....I'm pretty sure you know how to do it.
I suggest flashing GingerVillain 2.7 [GingerBread 2.3.4] (not 2.8,,,still BETA I think)
- Make use of AlphaRev's Customized CWM Recovery.....in my case I partitioned the SD Card using AlphaRev's Customized CWM Recovery instead of using Linux's Gparted Utility (choose 2gb of partition if you have a bigger SD Card Space and 512mb of swapping)
- In making sure everything will work well...I did the following things;
>> Restart CWM after formatting and partitioning the SD Card.
>> Resatrt CWM after wiping.
>> Restart CWM after copying the custom ROM to SD Card.
DONE...The Rest is up to you.
To Moderators and Geeks in here......please correct any steps I have provided in here if you find it a bit OFF so as to help others who have encountered same issue as I had.....Thanks.
CREDITS TO ALL HARDWORKING PEOPLE AT XDA WHO TOOK THE TIME AND INITIATIVE TO POST ALL STEPS POSSIBLE IN RESOLVING SUCH ISSUES....
GOD BLESS YOU GUYS.
Edit:
I have learned that buying Cheap and Crappy Sd Card will not actually save you money but will further make your day worst.........so my suggestion is to buy the BEST one......just think of it as an investment (LOL!)
Comments?? Anyone???

Hello,

The problem is an unbranded dhd eu model. Its updated to latest ver. and never rooted before. I only tried rooting it with AAHK and htcsupertool but no changes whats so ever.

My issue is when i try to unlock the bootloader with htcdev.com way. I need to first run the RUU, PD9810000_Ace_Sense30_S_hboot_2.00.0029.exe
But that only gives me the ERROR [190] ROM IS NOT UPDATED "Please update your ROM to 3.12.405.1 in system->><derpderpburp and try again"
I tryed to run it in win 7 x64 and Win XP x32 under VMWARE. Both with same outcome.
I found some one with the same issue only with wildfire s http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432474
Tryed finding the zip inside the app, but nothing there
Any help is much appreciated

Just found out that Advanced Ace Hack Kit works great when you have the updated htc drivers.
Sorry for the alarm
unlock bootloader through HTCDEV failed due to HBOOT-2.00.0027
I had the same problem unlocking my Desire HD with stock rom 3.13.161.5
HBOOT-2.00.0027
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.14.52.27
eMMC-boot
Solved it by downloading the RUU from htcdev with the HBOOT-2.00.0029 for 3.13.161.3 the one most closely matching my current stock rom (3.13.161.5).
When running the RUU it will fail.
To make is succeed:
1.) run it again up to the point where the installer asks to confirm the update.
2.) open the windows task-manager and find the ARUWizard.exe
3.) right click on the ARUWizard.exe and click on 'Open file location'
4.) in the opened windows explorer locate the the file 'unlock.csv' and open it with a text editor
5.) add your EXACT rom version (PD9810000,3.13.163.5) in my case
6.) save and close the 'unlock.csv' file
7.) continue with the RUU
Worked for me.
I just went into its app data, pulled the ROM.zip file, renamed it to PD98IMG.zip and put it on the root of my sdcard, hboot installed it
But I didn't need it, I have Eng s-off

[Q] [q] help - phone stuck after ota orange uk update failure

Hi All...
I have a prom with my Orange DHD...I was updating to the latest OTA but the update failed and now all i get when i start up is the green circular arrows for a few seconds and then the red triangle with exclamation mark.
I can access HBOOT and FASTBOOT menus, but Factory Reset and Recovery do not work (bot result in the red triangle)
I had a look on the SD card, but no update files were on the root of the card...
It looks like the download of the rom was corrupted and not saved...
Having done a bit of research here i tried to put a stock PD98DIAG.zip from a 2.3.5 WEE RUU onto the SD card root and went to HBOOT, but that failed as the checks failed with the below errors:
no image for PD98DIAG.zip,
no image or wrong image for PD98DIAG.nbh and PD98IMG.zip etc.
and also as the CID was incorrect
(assuming my phone CID is ORANG001, so not accepting the WWE?).
So...my question is before i get HTC to take it back as its under warranty and lose my phone for up to a month (i go on holiday next week and am not back till Easter - but would liek it with me on the trip), is there a method i can put a rom on to at least get the phone to boot and then do an update again?
When i plug the phone to usb the phone recognises the connection but my pc asks for Android 1.0 drivers (even though HTC Sync and the HTC Drivers are installed)
Can i run any RUU from my PC to get the phone up if the PC isnt loading the HTC Android 1.0 drivers?
I guess what i'm looking for is step by step instructions on getting the phone back up conisidering all i can currently do is access HBOOT...What are the risks of rooting going wrong and bricking the phone?
the HBOOT details are:

Thanks guys...
Your phone isn't rooted so you can't install any other roms. There's various guides on how to root your phone, some easier than others depending on the stock. Personally I had to update to a newer rom that had an exploit in it that allowed me to install an earlier version that allowed rooting. From there you can then permanently root the phone.
The best thing would be to search for guides on rooting a desire hd on orange (I'm on 3 so may be slightly different), then you can always reinstall your stock rom if you want

Your phone isn't rooted (the LOCKED message on bootloader screen) which is why you can't flash the PD98 image or any other ROM/RUU for that matter that is not digitally signed by Orange.
If you have warranty I don't suggest rooting it as this might void the warranty, especially if your phone still doesn't work after rooting. Perhaps it would be easier for Orange to fix it?

created goldcards using the tutorials, using reverse CID obtained from goldcard app in the market. used hex editor, added 000-170, saved etc etc.
tried flashing from goldcard with extracted ROM.zip from the RUU's below, renamed as PB99IMG.zip, but both just give bad image errors.
RUU_Ace_H3G_UK_1.37.771.3_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_158897_signed.exe
RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_WWE_3.12.405.1_Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_225512_signed.exe
tried creating a goldcard and using the Alpharev downgrade file but that gives bad image errors as well although have had a CID error a few times. tried editing the text file in the image to include my CID but still no luck
only other options i can see are try using ADB over wifi but i cant get it to work (did have a good guide open from androidforums but i closed the page and cant find it in my history now, arghhhh) or returning the phone to HTC but its out of warranty so would be a chargable repair. after the hours and hours of reading ad trying this and that, would feel like a failure to pay them to do it now so i am asking if anyone can help! pleaseeeeeeeeee
what am i doing wrong? or what else can i do???
look at my post over here
