1- Yes
1- Don't ask people what to do...just decide it yourself. If your device gets bricked no one but you will regret it.
Ok, I guess you need to read the effen manual a few more times...and the OP thread as well....NO OTHER SOFTWARE WILL WORK ON YOUR DEVICE, unless u want to mess it.

But is there anything wrong in the screen " stop watching tv "
Thanks a lot.

Don't worry. As suggested by many other members. Read the EFFEN manual thoroughly and follow the steps. It'll downgrade, but you can, after rooting, always change to higher android operating version.
Your device can be bricked, but if you follow the steps, I don't think there are any chances of bricking your device.

All the Best!

There´s nothing wrong with the screen. It is just asking for the passkey...wich of course in detailed in the manual.

Android 4.1 JellyBean Port
Hi there,
I'm trying to get a SDK Port working. By the way, I flashed the Virtuous Quattro ICS Kernel for that.
When I'm booting, I just see a black screen. What's my error? Adb works, I took this log from the device:

Well, just two things:
I have no idea of what u are talking about as I am no dev.
Don´t hijack other people's threads....look for one with the same subject as yours or just start a new one...but this is off topic from the Hack Kit

I decide to continue phone Downgrade, the program connected to download PD98IMG.zip 252M , Am I in the correct way?.

To answer your questions:
1)yes it is compatible if you download it from DHD forum. I have used it to root my DHD and it worked.
2) yes you can proceed with your own risk (you can contact the admin of the forum to check your phone compatibility to make sure)
3) I guess it will downgrade your android version first. and if it downgrade it dont be afraid this process will most of time will not affect the mobile phone(as I know).
4) well its up to you if you feel that the advanced ace hack kit will affect your phone dont try it.
to make things clear to you every forum that contains the steps to do this has information on what versions of mobile and android versions must be available if it is not in the thread its in the downloadable file.
for the picture that you attached it just asks for a passkey which you can find in aahk file->tools->txt and open the txt file CAJUN.
there is a html file in the main folder make sure to read it carefully when you want to proceed
hope that helped

Sorry, It doesn't work with me. After it finished the download of PD98IMG.zip (252M), the program made a new connection and started again to download the same zip file.

that is because your phone is not downgraded...downgrade takes place in the phone. If you are still on Sense 3.0 and Android 2.3.5 then you will still get the same result.

Thank you for patience
But I already accepted ( typed the letter y ) to make the downgrade from the Kit.

Check in the about phone menu that u are running Android 2.3.3 and Sense 2.1 versions...that will tell u if u are downgraded. Just to make sure. The CMD session by itself doesn´t downgrade the phone. You need to apply update with volume down.....

It has the original data with sense 3.

Then u are not downgraded....downgrade will delete all your data and will have Android 2.3.3 and Sense 2.1...that is why is asking u to do that again....

Dear glevitan
The attached file show you that I have accepted the downgrade, but nothing happen with software of the phone.
Thanks in foreword.

Can I use another PD98IMG ( one already I have ) instead of the one to be downloaded by the Kit ?.

No, don't use other file. You might mess your phone. Do the following...go to the PD98IMG folder in the hack kit extracted folder and then rename the file PD98IMG-GB6.zip to PD98IMG.zip, put it in the root of your sdcard and then boot in hboot and wait to be prompted to update. If you are not prompted, then u might have a bad sdcard and you will have to use a different one.

Thanks for quick reply....CAn you please tell me how to make sure that my phone is not branded.

At a guess thats an Unbranded Desire
when it loads up do you get the HTC welcome screen or a T-Mobile/Orange/O2/etc screen??
I think it is unbranded, so that is good. But maybe you should wait for someone else to join into this discussion, because i'm not fully sure and don't want you to end up with a phone which is locked.

i don't wanna root my device....can i flash it with official RUU as said by Flaggie???
Just remember that with rooting you don't have any new languages, you still need to flash a custom rom. You could just first flash a generic rom (which you don't need to root for just connect your phone to your pc and run the .exe) from the xda website I mentioned before and see if you like the regular rom.

give it a read and when you feel comfy with rooting go with it, and if you get stuck just add onto the end of that topic, simples!
Dear Ones...
I tried to update firmware with generic ROM but got the error....
Can you help me with this please ???
Make sure your phone is in Bootloader,,, then into Recovery mode
The 170 error is normal. At this point your desire is in bootloader mode and you just need to reboot your pc and re run the RUU.
If tour trying to downgrade - I don't think you can without root. I tried last night and It fails. I'm on 1.21 but my phone is now network locked and as its only 2 weeks old the imei is not listed yet on any database to undo the network lock.

[Q] Wildfire s update

Dears
My wildfire S rom version is 1.35.720.3, How can I found whats my phone's region?
ASIAN? EUROPEAN or something else?
Other question is that can I install "OTA_Marvel_HTC_ARA_1.47.415.1_R3-1.33.401.2" on my phone? in HBOOT mode phone detect the update, check it and then returns to main HBOOT menu and wont install it.
Thanks
Check here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074445
Don't forget that you need a Goldcard to flash your phone.
Thanks for the link
I saw it before, but unfortunately I can not find 1.35.720.3 in the list, just these have same RADIO as mine (47.10.35.30 29H)
RUU_Marvel_HTC_Europe_1.30.401.0_Radio_47.10.35.30 29H_7.46.35.08_release_183799_signed.exe
RUU_Marvel_HTC_Thailand_1.40.1113.3_Radio_47.10.35 .3029H_7.46.35.08_release_189976_signed
RUU_Marvel_HTCCN_CHS_1.38.1400.5_Radio_47.10.35.30 29H_7.46.35.08_release_190359_signed
Can i flash every of there on my phone?
Also I made goldcard already.
Of course it's a problem.
For the moment lastest Europe version is 1.33.401.2.
Look here : http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Marvel
You may have an error message saying that the version is too old.
But you can try, you will not brick your phone anyway.
If your phone is S-OFF and rooted, you can wipe cache and data, flash a custom rom like this one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1186354 (thanks to Alquez). You will return to 1.33.401.2.
For your second question OTA_Marvel_HTC_ARA_1.47.415.1 ROM is an arabic language ROM.
Thanks bro.
my phone is s-on and not rooted yet.
as you mentioned "OTA_Marvel_HTC_ARA_1.47.415.1" is arabic and I want to enable arabic language on my phone to read PERSIAN.
but after booting to HBOOT, the phone detect the update, check it and then return to HBOOT menu, and wont install any thing.
I want to know how can I force phone to install the update!
Sometimes, the problem is the Goldcard, it not works correctly.
Before I was rooted and S-OFF, I managed to update my phone till 1.30 version to 1.33.
I've maid my goldcard with this tutorial. It isn't very difficult, you just have to follow each step carefully.
Go to see : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1142529
Check post 3 for the link to "How to create a Goldcard"
Thanks
I will give it a try and will inform you.
New goldvard dosnt work as well
Its seems i have to wait for next europian version to debrand.

I think so.
There is a good explanation there : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16479167#post16479167
(See post n°6)
Or if you can't wait, I suggest you to buy XTC Clip. It works fine and it's easy to use.
Good luck.
Chapi, The sugessted way is a little bit risky! I bricked a MOTOROLA recently so I am afraid to do any risky modification.
So I have to wait for a newer version of Europe shipped rom.
thanks anyway .

THIS IS MY FIRST TUTORIAL SO MAYBE ITS BAD PLEASE DON'T FLAME
Maybe some of you guys have updated your HTC Desire rom and upgraded you HBOOT To 1.02.blabla that was dumb because you where to be unable to root it... Now this problem solved by a Team namely Revolutionary! credits at the bottom so lets get started!
Step 1: Go to the website of revolutionary cant add a link because i am new Just google Revolutionary
Step 2: Scroll to the bottom and Click download for Linux or Windows (depends which platform you have)
Step 3: If you have started the download then there will be appear a box; fill in that box you information like this:The image is in the attachment
Ok that serial number is fake tog get you real serial number: Options/About Phone/Phone Identify and you will see Device Serial Number Type the same in the Revolutionary box and you will get a beta Key This is you Own Key Everyone gets a different one.
Step 4: Now Plug in you phone in to your computer and enable usb debugging.
Then Run the revolutionary.exe file and it will detect you phone.
And it will ask your beta key. enter it and it will root your phone install a custom recovery and s-off it.
Step 5: Click on the Thanks button
Done.

Open the zip, read META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script, and look what it does..it only add some files to ur system (it even remove it first, in case u already have an older version of those files)
Thanks mate.
Worked fine for me (HTC Desire) - painless in fact .... just as well, as unrevoked3 didn't
Took a few minutes to get S-OFF and CWM, then from there just a simple flash of the Superuser zip file.
Thanks
Which is the best method of rooting?
alpha-rev or unrevoked??
AlpharRev does not give you root. It gives you S-OFF. To get root, you need to use unrevoked (or Revolutionary + flashing superuser.zip afterwards).
Sent from Sandvold's ICS using Transparent XDA App
AlhpaRev and Unrevoked3 do not work on this HBOOT (HBOOT 1.02.0001). At least never worked on mine. Plus, there are much more steps to s-off the phone and root it using the older way (Alpharev and Unrevoked3).
For our HBOOT 1.02.0001 Revolutionary is really a bless. It worked perfect on mine and that only with few clicks (of course, provide PROPER information on the site to get a key). Getting SU access after installing the latest SU from recovery was piece of cake of course.
I got 3.0.7 (from the upper link of course, just delete the file so you can go to the upper directory to get a list of all SU versions).
I cannot say about older HBOOT or newer, but this Revolutionary tool is really the easiest and most simple way to S-Off your phone and get recovery, and from there to install SU is just few steps away (put the downloaded .zip file to SDcard and install from there ... cannot be easier).

Tried with my HTC Desire, but aftre step 4 I am getting the message "waiting for device" and unable to proceed. Please help!

Do you mean AAHK (Advanced Ace Hack Kit)? If so, could you post the output from when you try to use AAHK?
you can do it thru windows, just remember to turn off all security features or the root will fail.

I Will Tell You My Steps >>How I Rooted My Device To Install Custom ROM<<
1) I had Downloaded free Sms BackUp And Apps BackUp from Play store.
2) Then I just Backup-ed all My Sms and Apps.
3) Then I went on my contact--> Manage Contacts --> Exported All My contacts from Google as well as from My Phone to my SD card.
4) For my safety purpose I then copied all my data from my memory card to my hard disk.
5) Then I used AAHK Tool:-
# What it did was just downgraded my Radio(Internet Required)
# Then Rooted my device-->Super CID-->BusyBox-->4EXT-->and so on...
DONE...
YOU ARE NOW READY TO INSTALL CUSTOM ROM

If you are using AAHK, maybe you skipped to use start it with administrator permisson....right click on AAHK and run as admin.....
and dont forget to check your Desire HD drivers again at your windows....
AAHK works on firmware 3.17.1010.1 and HBOOT 2.00.0030? (Google translate =))

sri, that is pretty clear, isn´t it? Have you installed the driver included in the tools>windrivers folder with the phone unplugged?
If you are not sure, then uninstall the drivers, unplug the phone. Install it again and then plug the phone and let it install correctly. Make sure that you use the oem cable and if that is not working try using a different oem cable and a different 2.0 usb port (it won´t work on a 3.0)
And make sure to
Disable any antivirus you have before unzipping the aahk

Sorry for my stupid question, but how do i distinguish between USB 2.0 and 3.0 on my laptop. Since I am also having the same problem while running AAHK. Also, what should I do if I can't find the htc driver after installing it.

Normally the usb 3.0 ports are blue
About the driver: Why would you want to find it? The important thing is that it is installed so your computer recognizes the phone correctly.
But anyway, on my PC I have a folder in the start menu named HTC, subfolder HTC Driver. You could use that as an indication for the driver being installed.
Only Install the htc drivers contained in the hack kit

AAHK doesn't work on firmware 3.17.1010.1 and HBOOT 2.00.0030
so recently, there is no way to S-Off and downgrade these DHD with this spec.
Only method of unlock bootloader by htcdev to root and up cooked rom
I'm also looking for method to downgrade and S-Off

[Q] ROOT with stock 2.3.5

I have the HTC DHD and I just want root access on my current ROM. I'm running the stock Sense 3.0 Android 2.3.5. I have considered using the aahk for this job but I think there is no way to backup my current ROM before downgrading. I will be flashing other ROMs once I have root so i need a S-OFF as well. I just need a copy of my current ROM because my phone is still under warranty and I want to have the ability to unroot it and return it to it's former state if I ever need to. I know that the aahk is the way to go, I just don't know how to make the backup of my current ROM before the downgrade.
Wht version of the rom do u have. Plus if u just want to backup ur rom for warranty or returning to stock, u can do tht by running stock RUU on your phone but i am not sure if u can find specific carrier roms but as for WWE(worldwide edition) i am sure u can.

On the phone under "Software number" it says 3.12.405.1. In the efffen manual the only ROM with that number is HTC WWE Europe 3.12.405.1 . Is that the same ROM? If it is, also in the efffen manual it says that it downgrades HTC WWE Europe 3.12.405.1 to HTC WWE EU GB 2.50.405.2...
That is exactly why I want to do the backup before I downgrade.
Do you need to know what carrier I'm on to help me or is the ROM number enough?
No I thinks it's ok. Use apps from market to backup stuff like sms/mms, contacts before rooting.
Poor Judgement

Since you need to downgrade from your current version to root your phone, I'm not aware of a way to back up your current app data or system settings. You can back up your apps, though, with Titanium Backup or something similar.

Don't follow YouTube videos; they can be outdated or unclear. Use the Advanced Ace Hack Kit; it does everything for you. Google for it: "attn1 aahk."

I don't need my current app data backed up, I'm just interested in backing up my ROM (not system setings) so that I could use my warranty once I need it (via unrooting).
Muikkuman: So you're saying that I can download my ROM? Could you please post me the link?

AAHK includes an unroot option with a stock RUU. You can unroot and reflash a stock (maybe not YOUR stock, but a stock) with it.

I see what you are asking now. I believe it comes with a WWE RUU, so no, it is not.

Yeah, you are spamming here. That is not the question I have asked... Look it up on the efffen manual and other Q&As. If that doesn't help make your own question. Hope you find your answer soon.

I'm not sure how warranties work (mine is long out of warranty), but yes, if you need to have the same build version on the phone as when you got it, you will need to find your original RUU.

Wait a minute, you're already S-OFF. You're already rooted. What is it you want to do?
