Telus Desire HD Help Thread

Hi, I have an Desire HD from telus, It was rooted, s-off, then hboot-off to get fastboot commands, I flashed CWM 3.0 then CM7 and finally reinstalled the proper radio via fast boot.
However I seem to have no sound at all, not in the earpiece during calls or the back speaker.
Did I kill the phone?

When you say you reinstalled the proper radio via fastboot... could you explain precisely what you mean? Usually HTC Androids of different hardware bands can still all use the same radio firmware.

When I downgraded it changed the radio so I put the telus one back on.

is it on max?

Yup it was at max, I ended up getting it replaced, I'm gonna hold out on rooting it and stuff until people find out why the telus version is having these problems.

How did you locate the Telus radio to put it back on? To my knowledge there is no such radio easily available on the forums. Are you saying you made a backup of the radio and restored it later? Please clarify exactly how you did this and be as specific as possible. I have a gut feeling this is how you broke it.

Same thing Happened to me. bought a Desire HD this morning from telus, Rooted , S-Off and super-CID...
now theres no sound at all

Got it off the forum

Return to stick and get it exchanged at TELUS.
We should have a warning for this before more people start rooting.

Okay now I see what you mean. There's a thread.
Question: When you say you tried flashing back to stock, did you use the Telus Ace RUU that is posted on the forums?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932771
And your sound still didn't come back?

No I didn't, I already got it replaced and haven't tried again. But it seems like more people are back.g the problem.

I would also try flashing the TELUS ruu as recommended above.
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk

And let us know if that fixes it =)
If I am not mistaken, the route:
Downgrade -> Radio S-OFF -> Telus RUU
should lead you to almost back where you started from but now with S-OFF. If everything is functional at that point, perhaps you could permroot from there and put in the custom recovery. Then try flashing custom ROMs and hopefully the sound won't go away.

Ya, but still would be nice to know the root of the problem.
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk

I wonder if there is a specific sound component in this phone that is just different hardware from the Euro/Asian versions, and the older firmwares (maybe in radio, maybe in HBOOT?) don't have a driver for it.
On the non-HD Desire there was an issue where if you try to downgrade to an Eclair firmware meant for an AMOLED phone and you have SLCD, you end up with no display. I am reminded of that. The quickest solutions were to upgrade back using the RUU with the right hardware support.
Thankfully it's easier to find your way around a no-sound phone than a no-screen phone!

Ya that does sound easier then the original one.
Where is the TELUS ruu?

[Q] Rooting HTC Desire Android 2.3

How i can root my HTC Desire with official Gingerbread.
AlphaRev18 and unrEVOked (last) dont work.
P.S. Excuse me for my English.
THANKS

you can't. Could try 2.2 RUU to revert back to Froyo and then root.

He can't revert back to Froyo as the Hboot have been upgraded.
Your kinda stuck till someone bring a rooting method or something like that!

i cant downgrade because my hboot version is 1.02.
and its not suported with my Froyo ruu.
What can i do?

Wait until there is a way to root or S-OFF your phone..... if that day will ever come.

hi, what do you think, when will root?

Fantastic! Just switched for a sec to new ROM from my favorite MIUI. . I'm sick seeing old Sense
No shell or DHD method will work?

[Q] Problem identifying the G2/Desire Z

okay so i've been given a used g2/desire z but the problem is i cannot figure out if it's a g2 or a desire z because no where on the phone it says t mobile but the back plate has a g2 carved on it (the back could have been replaced). Now i looked at some pics of the G2 it clearly says t-mobile on top It's running froyo 2.2 with the build number of 0.90.xxx.x. This stopped me from rooting the phone since i didn't have a way of finding out what this damned thing is. Secondly i tried checking for updates it keeps searching for updates and nothing happens and thirdly if it's a g2 it must be unlocked cause i'm using an other carriers sim. There is no HTC Sense on the phone no shining suns no flip clock or is it just that the version is so old that sense wasn't invented yet ?plus if i went ahead with the desire z method of rooting if what i have is a g2 would i brick my phone ?

I had the same question they are the same the DZ is the international version of the G2 it has a little more memory I believe. And all roms are safe to flash on either device. Some roms like sense need to have the DZ hboot. Simple to install and it gives you a little more ram which is needed for certain roms
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA

the only real difference is the stock rom and the hboot/spl
boot on your phone and see what hboot you have (hold volume down while powering on) and you will know if its considered a g2 or dz
there isnt more ram in the dz just a larger partition for the system which is needed to flash certain roms (sense) it truley wont matter which one you have now and you will only need to change the hboot from g2 to dz if you want these roms. there would be no reason to change from dz hboot to g2.

Thanks my bad that's what I meant to say.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA

so i checked my bootloader and the hboot version is 0.78.1000 now as Pnut pointed me to this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26990743&postcount=2 where the say this 0.76.2000>G2 so am i right in assuming that what i have is the G2 and it is safe to go ahead with this method of rooting http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/TMobile_G2:_Rooting ?

it would be safe even if you had the dz. if you want to understand the phones a bit more look @ the xda wiki on the vision, just go to wiki tab on the top of the screen, the htc phones on the right find the g2/dz aka vision. you ll understand more, same guide for rooting as cyanogens but more of an explanation
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium

so i read the wiki as you said demkantor and i came to the hboot part so here's what it is
1.1. engineering hboot
Download the appropriate HBOOT for your phone:
T-Mobile G2: vision.hboot-0.76.2000.zip (md5sum 7669AE12DC2FAA10AE555A164980EFD0)
HTC Desire Z: vision.hboot-0.84.2000.zip (md5sum 2CE1BDD5E4C1119CCFCECB938710D742)
Note that the md5sums are for the actual hboot img contained within the zip file, not the for the zip file itself. Note also that the dz, g2, and dhd each use their own version of the engineering boot, as the phones are partitioned differently. (If you have previously installed the wrong HBOOT for your phone, you may need to reflash everything after partition 18 .
According to this it's my choice on which hboot version i want to flash ?

well if you like sense roms id go dz as you have the larger system partition otherwise go with g2, its not a big deal so long as you flash a rom afterwards. this will not cause a brick but if you change your emmc partition the current rom will not be able to boot after you are rooted. thats ok you want to flash a new rom anyhow.

[SOLVED (HELP)] Need help with downgrading

hi, I just got DHD instead of my old Desire, which I rooted with no problems. I am not novice, and I wouldn't ask you all for help, but i really don't know, how to downgrade it. I found some tutorials, BUT THEY DON'T WORK!!! I dont know why, but when i'm trying flashing PD98IMG.ZIP via bootloader, after checking PD98IMG.ZIP, it says "error, main version is older"... I have GOLDCARD and i have always follow the instructions!!! precisely!!!!!
When i try downgrade via cmd and adb, after checking those things, it says no # but $..and thats wrong!!!
visionary or gingerbreak dont work with this version, i think...
Android 2.3.5 ; HTC sense 3.0 ; software number 3.13.110.4 ; radio 12.65.60.29U_26.14.04.28_M
please help me.

Do you got S-OFF?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using xda premium

Try downloading one of the RUUs from here. Just boot your phone to the bootloader screen and plug it in then run the correct one for your phone. If you can boot into a ROM you can also do that, then plug in your phone, and run the RUU. It will give you all the instructions. BTW codename for HTC Desire HD/Inspire 4G is ACE. So get one of those RUUs:
Edit notice I can't post outside links cause I'm under 10 posts.

New to rooting HTC Desire

So, I told my friend I'd help him root his HTC Desire. Thing is, when he first got it, which was apparently shortly after it came out, he had it rooted. The guys said, however, that it was a partial root. I don't know what that means. Also, he has the super user app, but no recovery installed. Also, I've looked over the guide for rooting the phone and getting S-OFF. (I have an EVO 3D) It's so different from my phone that I am not sure what bootloader version this phone has.
I know that it is locked, KINGDOM PUT SHIP S-ON, HBOOT 1.22.0000. If there is any help, I'd appreciate it. I'd be alright if it weren't rooted at all, but since it's partially rooted, I'm not sure.

HTC Kingdom is the codename for HTC Evo Design 4G or HTC Hero S
(HTC Bravo is the codename for HTC Desire)
so root methods in this forum won't be of much help.
i'm not sure what your aim is:
- rooted phone? if you have superuser app it's likely that you're already rooted. try running an app that requires superuser permissions e.g. titanium backup
- custom rom? then you will need custom recovery, i couldn't find the xda forum for evo design 4g, so try google for a guide on how to install one for that phone.

Ahh, my friend wasn't sure which phone he got. I couldn't find a design forum here either. Also, yeah, he said it was a partial root (not sure what that means) and as for the custom recovery, he doesn't have one, which you usually get one when you root the phone (CWM Revolutionary usually). Thanks for the info, I'll check out google when I get home.

I think by partial root here might mean that the phone is not s-off yet
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app

Could he mean temporary root? (root is lost after reboot)
Because there you have a superuser app but no recovery...
You could try using apps that require root and check if root is gone...

There's an easy way to root/s-off on my guide.

But is it for HTC design?
