[Q] Help with DHD rooting issues

Hi All,
I need to preface this by saying I'm a total noob when it comes to rooting, customizing, etc. I've spent the better part of two days reading, doing and failing and I've basically exhausted my abilities and desperately need some help getting my Desire HD back up and running. I apologize in advance for this wall of text.
Here's everything I've done:
1. Went through the HTCDev bootloader process to unlock my phone. HBOOT status: *** UNLOCKED ***
​a. This involved whiping the phone and downgrading
2. Installed ClockworkMod
3. Through CWM, backed up current state which was basically factory reset
4. Tried to flash Blackout. It failed with a file_write error.
5. Tried to flash Jelly Time which didn't work either. Just hung at white HTC screen.
6. Restored backup and started Googling.
7. Eventually noticed that my phone was still S-ON, which seemed to be an issue. Read that I should try Advanced Ace Hack Kit utility.
8. Found out AAHK needed to start in locked state. Relocked bootloader (fastboot oem lock). HBOOT status: *** RELOCKED ***
9. Tried to run AAHK, it failed with a bunch of errors. I realized that I still had ClockworkMod as my recovery so I went on a hunt to try to get back to stock.
10. Tried rerunning the downgrade RUU from the HTCDev process but it failed with some error (I think it was model ID or something).
11. Tried hunting around for other stock Telus RUUs, but they also failed to install with errors. (I should probably have noted them).
12. As a last ditch, I tried to use the AAHK utility to return to stock. It seemed to be working, but then went back to the main menu after a couple minutes and I didn't get to see any errors. The phone remained at the black HTC screen until I rebooted it manually.
13. Phone hung at white HTC screen.
14. Went back into CWM, wiped and tried to restore
15. Phone hangs at white HTC screen.
This is where I am currently. I still have CWM installed instead of stock recovery. My current HBOOT is

RADIO-26.10.04.03_M
eMMC-boot
Apr 12 2011, 00:55:45
It doesn't mention anything about locked, unlocked, relocked.
I can't get into the phone, so I'm guessing I have to do everything through fastboot at the moment. I have no idea what to do at this point, so I hope I've included enough details for you folks to diagnose my problems.
I contemplated unlocking the bootloader again and trying the restore from CWM, but I figured I've done enough damage and now it's time to ask the experts.
Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide!

Poor dude...custom ROM install gone wrong
I recommend trying the HTCDev root process again with the bin file you got from HTCDev website, if that works you should be able to restore your insatll from CWM and atleast have a working phone. I remember that working.

The reason why it would hang at the HTC screen is because you failed to flash the boot.img. this has to be done seperately . Now to get a working phone you need to run an ruu. If you could run this from fast boot so we know which to run.
Fastboot getvar all
Well need cid and software version

Perfect. All you need to do is flash the telus ruu or pd98img if you have a card reader. You can follow my guide for a step by step if needed. It also has links for the files you need.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396229
Also if you want you can run these commands to flash the pd98img without a card reader. Been meaning to add this method to the guide.
So you can download the telus pd98img zip and place it in your fast boot folder.
Then run fastboot OEM rebootRUU
then fastboot flash zip PD98IMG.zip
Usually the ruu method is the easiest (one in my guide) but goo host file server can be finicky and might be faster to download the pd98 zip

Thanks for the advice. I followed your second steps and used fastboot to flash the zip.
Everything went fine, there were no errors in the command prompt and it finished with "OKAY". The problem is that my phone is stuck at the black HTC screen and the green progress bar is around 95% complete. Is everything ok? Do I just run "fastboot reboot" now?
When this is done, will I be back to stock recovery as well, or will I still have ClockworkMod? I'm hoping for stock recovery, so if this process won't do it, do you know how?
Thanks again for the help!

Go ahead and fast boot reboot. This will give you everything stock like new in box software

Thanks so much! Phone's back up and running and I've updated back to where I was before I started all this.
Now... my curiosity is back. Am I safe to try AAHK again now that I'm back to stock? I feel like I'm playing with fire!

Yes you can run the kit. It gave issues last because of the unlocking and cwm flashing. But now that you are bone stock its good to go. With a correct setup you should be rooted in 5min

Nice! I'll give it a whirl in a little bit.
Out of curiosity, what's the point of the HTCDev bootloader unlock process if it leaves you in S-ON and you can't flash roms? Or am I mistaken and just messed up?

I didn't read the whole thread but the htc dev method uses a different flashing procedure than s-off - requires more steps. You probably messed up somewhere. However, if you can get s-off that is what we recommend.

Are you S-OFF and rooted with the Hack Kit or have an unlocked bootloader? What rom did you flash? Have you done a full wipe before flashing?

My friend told me he was performing an Update and after that it didn't come up.
If i try to use the recovery mode it gives an error even if i dont touch any thing (except volup + down + power) E: Can't open /cache/recover/command.
I thought if i could get an update.zip and could update via "Apply update from SDCARD"

That is why you are stuck.You are not S-OFF nor Unlocked, so it will be impossible to write partitions in that state. Flash a RUU and that will fix the problem or unlock the bootloader, flash CWM recovery and then a custom rom. That is up to you...

Hi, thanks for that,
The question is which RUU.
I found this HOW2 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841890 I need to do whats written there right but they say i need a gold card for RUU flashing?
If that will work would be perfekt!

Do not use that, I will guide you on how to do it. You can do the following, create a goldcard and then flash an unbranded RUU for your CID number. The fact is that for creating a goldcard you need a working android device. Do you have another device?

Hello Thanks for your messages. I searched severals RUUs but none of them worked, it says Imageversion 3.13.161.5 and Error [132]: signature error
Any Idea?
edit:
I also tried loading the rom.zip into the SD card naming it as pd98img.zip. The phone recognized it checks it but than returns back to the fastboot menu!

That is because that RUU's seems not be for your device. Even flashing them as PD98IMG won't work if those RUUs do not match your CID. If you have another android working device I can help you create a goldcard, if not I guess the best is to unlock bootloader and then get a custom rom...
If it is alright with you I can help you over teamviewer...

Use this to create the goldcard...be cautious on how you do that to avoid corrupting the sdcard:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970157
Once you have patched the sdcard, without dismounting it, put a RUU in there and name it PD98IMG.zip, then boot in bootloader and wait until you are prompted to update.
And if you are a bit lost, download this: http://www.teamviewer.com and I can connect to your PC to lend you a hand.

Hi, i tried what you told me to do. with the The programm crashed at point 5 so i used this german side http://www.pocketpc.ch/htc-desire-hd-root-rom/111867-anleitung-desire-hd-goldcard-erstellen.html to create an gold card. but the wired thing is, that the http://psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard wants to get the cid not the reversed cid.
But all in all after I created that gold card with hex editor, and putting the ruu as pd98img.zip on the SD. The bootloader was loading the *.zip and checking the zip and without error or anything else it just got back to the bootloader.

If you are S-OFF, put a custom rom in the sdcard, boot in recovery and flash it. That will sort it out.

[Q] Desire HD can't boot (red triangle) after AAHK Fail

Hi everyone!
I've managed to screw up my Desire HD after running aahk-11092012, and was wondering if anyone had any bright ideas...
The Phone is a Desire HD bought from SFR here in France in 2011, never rooted or custom rom'ed, although updated with 2or 3 SFR roms since.
I ran aahk from the terminal on a OSX 10.7 (see Output.txt). From this you will see that it wants naturally to downgrade (to Froyo I assume) but downloading the rom fails, and even though I refused the "-n Flash this RUU? (y/n)" question, it continued doing all sorts of things, getting a few error along the way, rebooting the phone into recovery a few times, and finishes with
************* Downgrade failed *************
** Either:
** GoldCtixiard/SDCard failed
** USB connections are not working 100%
************* Downgrade failed *************
I then tried to flash the "Gingerbread HTC WWE 2.50.405.2" rom from the options menu, thinking I'd be clever, but that monumentally fails too..
From this point on the phone boots to the "Red tringle with an exclamation mark" screen (after the white HTC logo) and does nothing else.
Restarting AAHK just fails with a "Error detecting HTC phone on USB connection."
Having discovered the "VOL-UP +Power" recovery screen during this process, the next thing I tried was a "Apply sdcard:update.zip", but this just results in an "Invalid command" message underneath that already present "E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command" in yellow further down the screen.
I then try a "Wipe data/factory reset" and also a "Wipe cache partition". I can't honestly explain this. At least not given that I hadn't really looked up the issue anywhere yet. I also cant remember exactly what the output was, but the result is the same, still the red triangle screen.
OK, so now I finally open my eyes and realize what a moron I've been, so i plunge into actually learning something and realize quickly (aside from I hate myself and I'm not special, bla bla) that there are loads of thing I could have done differently, and directly on the phone, but obviously it's now too late. (See below for the information I CAN get from the Phone)
Oh yes, I did try a "Factory reset" from HBOOT, but still no joy....
The main option I've been looking into has been to recover an original branded SFR firmware and Froyo ROM and go from there, so I did manage to get a PD98IMG.zip file onto the SD card and HBOOT recognizes it, but fails with a "CID Incorrect" error.
I seem, therefore to be stuck whether I want to return to original SFR or continue tryng to flash a custom ROM:
I can't make a goldcard: I cant adb any commands, in HBOOT the device is not found, and in recovery the device is found but is "offline".
I found jo0ls' CID reader, but I dont have a SD card reader directly plugged to the PCI bus!
I did finally try to install a clockwork recovery in FASTBOOT, but get this:
$ fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-ace.img
sending 'recovery' (3624 KB)... OKAY
writing 'recovery'... INFOsignature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
I assume this is much the same error as for the PD98IMG...
Sorry about the long winded post, but I hope it has the maximum of info...
Anyone have any ideas?

AAHK, and the server hosting the downgrade files, is retired. You can still unlock the bootloader, but your hboot needs updating before it cam be unlocked. I think you could also run your stock RUU.

CID Number shows that your device is a Vodafone device, probably VodaSFR but who knows? Fetch a Voda RUU and install it

you need to upgrade your bootloader to 2.00.0029
htcdev.com/ruu/PD9810000_Ace_Sense30_S_hboot_2.00.0029.exe (sorry, i can´t atach links)
then unlock it(follow htc-dev guide) and you will be able of flashing a custom recovery

@ bananagranola: I did know aahk had been discontinued, I actually mentioned this originally but edited it out to "shorten my post"!
@ humzaahmed155: quite right, I'm with SFR, and I'm trying to simply restore an original branded ROM

Woohoo!! I'm so happy, I got the phone working again last night!! I had a ruu kicking around:
RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_Vodafone_FR_3.13.163.3_Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_227340_signed.exe
from the first day I'd bricked it. This hadn't worked the first time I tried it on windows (actually a Parallels VM on Mac), with the phone plugged in, but I can't remember what mode the phone was in; but as you'll see below I must not have been in fastboot...
Whatever, last night I finally tried pascuals's PD9810000 RUU, with the phone connected and in fastboot, the utility detects the phone fine, but fails with a firmware version error, saying the phone is 1.32.405.6, it will install version 3.13.0.0 but I need to "upgrade to 3.12.405.1"..:silly: (see attachments).
Feeling dejected I fired up the rom cited above thinking I have nothing to lose, and...lo an behold...10 minutes or so later the phone reboots to a beautiful welcome screen insulting me for not having inserted a SIM card!!!
Thanks anyway for your answers, at least they got me looking in the right direction!! I will now go a learn properly how this things work before bricking it again

My HBOOT is 0.85.2425, after S-OFF. Can I update to 2.00.0029? How?
Thanks.

use that link and just run the exe with your phone connected, atleast with debugging on i think, mine was like that, the tool took care of the rest automatically.

I see no reason why you need to update the bootloader when you already have s-off. If your bootloader is engineering bootloader then just let it be.

Stuck on bootloader.

Hi !
I have a problem with my HTC DHD device. I unlocked it and rooted it a long time ago, using goldcard, installed Rom Manager, flashed the recovery, install CM...and all of a sudden, my phone shutted down, and couldn't stop rebooting, got the green HTC logo, and he reboot.
I had this problem a few month ago, i tried several things, that put my phone back in S-ON.
I actually got this :

I can't access to recovery, and i can't boot on anything else than the HBOOT or FASTBOOT mode.
I tried to unlock from htc dev, but it says that i need to upgrade my HBOOT before using htcdev tool.
As i was back in S-ON mode, i tried severals RUU Roms.
As the getvar all says i'm actually running 2.50.405.2, so i tried to install a clean RUU using
RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.50.405.2_Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2_release_199042_signed
( Got a french HTC DESIRE HD )
I'd like to flash a new recovery to make everything ok again. But i'm stuck, there is no ruu working, and i can't unlock bootloader, nor reinstall a recovery
everytime i try to flash something into any directory, i got this signature failed error.
Code:
c:\Fastboot>fastboot flash /sdcard PD98IMG.zip
sending '/sdcard' (261908 KB)... OKAY [ 43.281s]

finished. total time: 76.264s
Can someone help me ?

I might be wrong but I think you might need another ruu and a new goldcard

I tried different RUU versions, all above the actual one or at least the same version.
The thing is that i can't actually put it back on its original configuration. CID is normal though, i can't find the original recovery, i'd like to flash it, i think it's the only thing that remains modified on the phone.

I had the exact same problem as you have when i bought the phone. AAHK was working back then and even with aahk the phone could not be fixed and the with the help of the devs on irc chat i managed to fix it
They told me that my phone was previously rooted and s-off but a strange RUU was flashed so they told me to flash cwm through fasboot and flash a custom rom.
Wich i did and it worked.
P.S. you might wanna try another sd card, this one might be fried ( faulty mem blocks)

Thanks for your answer, your previous problem exactly matches with mine. I'll try what you've said, the thing is that i'm actually not rooted, and S-ON, i can't use htcdev/unlockbootloader, because de version of my bootloader is too old ( i haven't used the phone for a while ) -
In fact :
- To solve my problem, like u said i have to flash CWM and a custom rom
- To flash a recovery, i need to unlock bootloader
- To unlock bootloader, i need to upgrade my bootloader
- To flash a ruu and upgrade my bootloader i need to have an original recovery
- Got a recovery problem i need another one, so let's flash CWM ( repeat everything )

1) conect phone to pc, run instalation ruu
2) during instalation process find in win/temp folder file named rom.zip
3) copy this file into folder with adb and fastboot files
4) cancel instalation
5) in phone run bootloader than fastboot
6) run command prompt in folder with adb, fastboot and rom files, than type "fastboot oem rebootRUU"
7) wait a few minute until phone goes in ruu install mode
8) than from command prompt type "fastboot flash zip room.zip", if you get error repeat once again without exiting ruu install mode (some times is needed to do it twice)
9) when install finish type "fastboot reboot" and now phone should be repaired
You can do factory reset before and after.

HTC One - stuck in bootloader/fastboot and no recovery

As you can see in the picture the phone boots up to this screen. A friend of mine bought an HTC One on ebay and he found out it was rooted/unlocked so he went to put it back to stock and may have bricked the device while doing so.
EDIT: so I am able to use fastboot, but not adb because I can't get into Windows. Flashing the stock Verizon RUU I found still doesn't get me anywhere though.
Is there any hope for this device? Thanks in advance!

You have to select bootloader to get to the recovery option. What kind of computer are you using and whats it running?

Yea I saw that after messing around with it some more. It is Windows 7 x64.
I tried the one at the bottom of the page as I can't find one anywhere else. I also used the commands at the bottom to try and flash it.

When you go to device manager on your pc with the phone pluged in and in fastboot mode, does it show android phone or unknown device? Try using these drivers http://vzw1files.dyndns.org/ADB/ADB_Drivers.zip
You need a signed ruu which you can get here http://vzw1files.dyndns.org/RUUs/2....2_NV_VZW_3.71_002_release_341019_signed_2.zip
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip file.zip
May fail with flush error do above command again.
fastboot reboot

OK cool I will try that once it downloads. It shows "My HTC" in the device manager. Also with the fastboot devices command it does give me the device ID.
EDIT: That worked! Thanks a lot for the RUU file, as I could not find that anywhere.

Hello. A friend of mine has the same problem. She tried to flash this RUU: "RUU Zip M7_WL_JB_50_VZW_1.10.605.10_decrypted" but the phone doesn't boot. Here is more info about the problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2688936
Can she flash the RUU posted here?
This is what the hboot says:
Unlocked
m7_wlv pvt ship s-off rh
cid-11111111
hboot 1.54.0000
radio 1.12.42.0906
opendsp v31.120.274.0617
os 1.10.605.10
Thank you very much.

She can, but since she is s-off, its better to flash the decrypted one. http://vzw1files.dyndns.org/RUUs/2.10.605.1/PN07IMG_M7_WL_JB_50_VZW_2.10.605.1_DECRYPT.zip

First, thank you very much. She changed the CID to VZW__001. That's not a problem, right?
Does the CID and MID have to be compatible with the RUU? She has this MID: PN0731000.
Downloading this RUU, will report back.
Again, thank you.

Yes the cid and mid need to match the ruu. What you have now are the correct ones. However 11111111 is super cid, which would have also worked.

Hello again. Before we try to flash the RUU, I would like to ask you the steps to do it. This is what we gonna do:
1. Download RUU
2. Rename to "ruu.zip" (Optional)
3. Enter fastboot mode
4. enter "fastboot oem rebootRUU" - You should not see a silver HTC logo on your device.
5. enter "fastboot flash zip ruu.zip" - The first time you execute this command, it only prepares the flash
6. As soon as the flash is done preparing, enter the same exact command again "fastboot flash zip ruu.zip"
7. Now you'll see a little green progress bar on your phone. This does not need to reach 100%. As soon as your command window is finished, you can just "fastboot reboot".
8. You should be set back to fully stock HTC One.
And that's it? Nothing else is needed, right?
EDIT: we flashed the RUU. Now the phone boots always in fastboot. No matter what option we choose, the phone does nothing and goes back to fastboot. On the bottom of hboot there is a new line in red: "Active cmdline overflow! (1073 Bytes)"

Ok try changing the cid back to 11111111 super cid, then run the ruu again and see what happens. Before doing both, use the cmd
fastboot erase cache

Hello. We just did it, and still the same problem. We were reading that some people solved this by doing a downgrade to hboot 1.44. But I don't want to make this problem worse.

You can try it, its worth a shot. Just flash an older ruu. http://vzw1files.dyndns.org/RUUs/. Dont remember which one goes with 1.44

You can't be more kind. We made a downgrade, and now we can use CWM again. (We did the downgrade before reading your post, so we didn't use an older RUU) Now thinking hwat should be the next step: flashing a ROM (custom or stock, mounting a pendrive) or flashing an older RUU or anything else. Again, dude, you're awesome.

I'm stuck in a similar situation and any help would be appreciated so I don't screw this up. I can get into the bootloader but not into recovery (gets to the first TWRP screen then reboots). Safe mode works fine too.

I can get into ADB. Would just like to know if I need to flash a new RUU or should I flash updated TWRP first? And the proper commands so I don't botch this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would try reflashing twrp first. http://vzw1files.dyndns.org/RECOVERIES/twrp/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.4-m7vzw.img

Didn't work. Got to the TWRP splash screen and back into the bootloop again.

Ok then i would do an ruu. http://vzw1files.dyndns.org/RUUs/
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip nameoffile.zip (may fail with flush error, just do the cmd again)
fastboot reboot

Hi,
Similar problem here.
This is my situation:
*** TAMPERED ***
*** LOCKED ***
*** Security Warning ***
M7_WLV PVT SHIP S-ON RH
HBOOT-1.56.0000
RADIO-1.13.41.0109_2
OpenDSP-v32.120.274.0909
OS-3.11.605.1
CID: VZW__001
MID: PN0731000
Only fastboot. Can't access to recovey (CWM). Can't access to OS, so no adb.
Every time I try to RUU it gives the "Signature verify fail" message.
So, I tried encrypted ROMs (those at vzw1files. dyndns. org), and I could go a step forward; but the flashing hungs up after giving this messages:
(bootloader) adopting the signature contained in this image...
(bootloader) signature checking...
(bootloader) rom parsing start ...
(bootloader) rom parsing finish ...
(bootloader) zip header checking...
(bootloader) zip info parsing...
(bootloader) Read zipped android_info fail
Thanks in advance, I hope I didn't screw it up.

The problem is nicouy that you are s-on, and on the newest kk firmware. An s-on phone will not allow you to "downgrade" firmware, and we do not yet have the latest ruu available, at least to my knowledge. So your kind of screwed right now untill we get our hands on a kk ruu.
