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:
*** LOCKED (OOW) *** ->what does this mean?

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?

Just want to change lang. @ wildfire s....but not possible

Hey!
Since hours I'm trying to change the language at my wildfire s.
I got the phone and only Englisch, Russia etc are integrated but no German.
So I started trying to flash the phone. At the beginning I started with normal RUU file (RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.26.401.3_Radio_47.23e.35.3038H_7.57.39.10M_release_261695_signed.exe), then I tried it via SD Card, via Goldcard and so on. But nothing is working.
If I flash it via SD Card (it doesn't matter if it is a goldcard or not) I get the error:
Main Version is older
Update fail!
Now I unlocked the bootloader and tried to S-Off the phone. But I can't find any tool or guide how to do that. I tried HTC super User Tool v3 and the unlock code.bin I got from HTC but it isn't working.
I also tried this guide. But without an result.
Now I found this thread, but I don't know what I have to do with the downloaded zip file.
I just want to install another langugae Not less and no more
Some facts of the wildfire:
***UNLOCKED***

Since you have unlocked it.....try using a custom rom(based on sense) with EU firmware

I just downgraded to Stock 1.32 in order to root, but it's chinese and I need a pin??

Hi,
I had 2.50 on my Desire HD which I found out can't be rooted to flash a modern rom. Now I followed a guide to downgrade it (temproot, put PD98IMG.zip into the sd card and install it via bootloader). After it restarted I had a chinese version apparently and was asked to put in a PIN. But there isn't even a sim-card in there..
What can I do next?
A few more informations:
It's not a PIN, but I can't do anything but contact emergency numbers. I can't connect the phone to usb, I can't connect with adb or do anything else.
I can get into fastboot by taking out the memory card, otherwise it would try to install the wrong pd89img.zip continouesly.
Right now I have only following informations:

What are my options?

You can edit the android_info.txt file in the zip file with supercid numbers and install it. or you can simply add more CIDs to install. ( Like the Cid of your phone )
but 1st you need to upgrade your HBOOT to make modifications. 2.00.029 thats the HBOOT v that you need to install.

Re-unlock bootloader / RUU for a5_ul

Ok i messed with this poor device so badly that i can't tell you...i successfully flashed cm12.1 nighlty but while charging the device simply turns off (i opened a thread about this topic but no one replied) so when i wake up in the morning i had no alarm. i decided then to try some other custom roms but in order to do that i had to RUU my device. Here comes the problem, i found many RUUs for this model but only 1 seemed to work...The RUU process stops at the very end with a message saying the it halted due to large image update...so i tried instead to flash the RUU via fastboot but notihing changed, the zip sent to the device is too large.
i have 3 solutions but i need ur help to make em work...
1) unlock the bootloader and restore a backup ==> the problem is that i simply can't re-unlock it...i tried everything (new unlock token, without sd card, with sd car, without sim card, with sd card; it simply remains relocked)
2) find a suitable RUU for my device that is less then 1 gb ==> the problem is that i can't find it anywhere. so i ask you, is it possible to clean the system partition to free space for the RUU? How?
my device info are:
A5_UL PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-3.19.0.0000

OpenDSP-v27.2.2.00546.0311
OS-2.34.401.2

Please, i really need your help, i read all the similar threads and tried everything but i can't make it work.
