[Q] 1.75.163.2 and S-OFF

Hi all,
Owner of an HD2 i recently switch to the Desire HD, unfortunatly i've installed the HTC update, here is my system actually
Android version : 2.2.1
BaseBand : 12.28e.60.140fU_26.04.02.17_M2
Kernel : 2.6.32.21-g1e30168
[email protected] #1
Build Number : 1.75.163.2 CL301245 release keys
Software Number : 1.75.163.2
Browser version : Webkit 3.1
I would like to :
- Disable the simlock (lock to my provider actually)
- Get rid of these provider's apps
- Be able to flash every rom that i want
I've read a lot in the forum but was not able to found a solution, for what i've undertood there is no way to S-OFF post 1.72 version of the software because of security issues...
Is it possible to do this
- Downgrade to 1.32.405.6
- Root and S-OFF the phone
- Upgrade to the fully rooted WWE 1.72.405.3 (or 1.75 rooted if there is one)
Thanks for your lights ..
Ps : Hoo yes, is there any way to backup my actual rom (1.75) ..? Throught adb or something else..

Hi,
Unless your DHD had Radio S-OFF prior to the update there is no way back present. Give it a few weeks and a solution will have been found.

Might work normally, but needs a temp root that you can't get, catch 22.

[Q] Confused noob seeks enlightenment

Hi there,
I have a Motorola Defy on Vodafone UK, that has just had the Vodafone Froyo update. I have tried to find an answer to my question, but no joy.
I would like to get rid of the Vodafone software and use the UK retail version, as then my phone would work as advertised. Unfortunately I get confused by all the different software identifiers on my phone, and wondered if someone would be kind enough to explain what bits could/should be updated.
When I look at Settings/About Phone I see the following
System Version: Details removed to allow posting
Firmware version: 2.2.2
Baseband Version: EPU93_U_00.59.02
Kernel Version: Details removed to allow posting
BPflex version: UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA03A.0R
APflex version: GAS_EMEA_USAJRDNFRYOVFGB_P021
I had to remove the software file identifiers to be able to post this, but the phone has just had the latest Vodafone Froyo update applied. Hopefully someone will still be able to help by explaining what the titles mean.
I have successfully rooted my phone with SuperOneClick, but am just trying to get a bit more more understanding before I do anything stupid. I quite like the idea of CM7, but think that may be a bit advanced for me, so will perhaps stick with the UK retail Motorola Froyo once I am sure I know what I'm doing.
Thanks

As you have rooted it yet you could delete app with titanium backup from the market.
I can say i have installed custom roms on my defy a few days after i got it, just follow the faq and how to post and you won't damage anything.
Btw, if something goes wrong you'll find help on this forum anyway...

Telus HTC Desire HD 2.3.3 Root and Flash

Hello XDA forum!
I've been researching my topic for some time now and I noticed alot of vague information and the only usefull info seemed to be specific to each model... So, I have a Desire HD and my carrier is telus.
1. Is my phone branded or not? (There's not a bunch of telus apps or wallpapers, there is just one telus scene. Also it says HTC on the back where you would expect it to say telus)
2. Can you downgrade the Telus HTC Desire HD running 2.3.3 Gingerbread at this time? If so what tools would you use?
The reason I am doing this is because everything seems to be very vague information that, like stated above, seems to be specific to each post. However all the posts that I've read don't describe the methods used to identify key information or how to troubleshoot what to do if a step doesn't work (ex. Getting $ instead of #)
If someone could post back on this it would aid me greatly. I aim to downgrade, root, and flash Android Revolution HD and possibly a new radio to improve battery life and signal strength (which is non-existent in my basement)
My phone info is...
Android version:
2.3.3
HTC Sense version:
2.1
Baseband version:
12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M
Kernel version:

Thanks in advance!
PS. Any additional information you require from me don't hesitate to ask!

Now running Android Revolution HD!!
Ok so I found some key factors in this that I'd like to point out to anyone looking into rooting and flashing a custom rom.
First Downgrade
Settings > About Phone > Software Information > "Build number"
That is what you're looking at when searching for a downgrade. 1.32.405.6 is what you want to be at.
The downgrade guide I used is here.
Remember if your build number is above 2 you'll need to use section 2b and skip 2a
Make sure you download the attached folder at the bottom of the first post and the stock 1.32 ROM (link in section 1)
After this point I had a stock phone with 2.2 Froyo build number 1.32.405.6. My speakers did not work (no sound at all) and I could not connect to the mobile network which alarmed me at first thinking that Telus wouldn't like me hacking my phone or something x3
Second Root
Telus Desire HD - Rooting and Flashing
This was the first guide I tried to follow and it would have worked if it had simply added in that extra file and the commands:
Code:
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell
./data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start FBB00000 -end FFFFFFFF
Anyways I downloaded the files for this one (the light version since I had previously downloaded the PD98IMG.zip) and skipped to step B.b
I did the temproot successfully but the easy radio tool wouldn't work for me so I just used Visionary+ to permroot and Then I got the superuser request on my phone and the radio finished rapidly.
Went very smoothly after that.
Third Flashing!
Finally the time came when I was ready to flash my shiny new ROM. I read through step C of the above mentioned guide but decided to go through with the proccess mentioned in [ROM] Android Revolution HD™ 6.1.3 since it was more of a do it yourself thing and I like starting clean (it wants you to run superwipe from cwm before flashing the new rom)
I would recommend using a card reader rather than mounting as a disk drive cause it's more reliable.
Hope this helps someone!

Not sure if this has been said or not but:
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/how-to-root-the-htc-desire-hd/
It's as easy as "download, run" and it works brilliantly!
I suggest you just boot a Ubuntu Live CD (it's not as bad as it sounds, I actually liked it the first time I tried it and now I have it installed by my Windows) and just run the command:
wget http://droid.neolobster.com/roms/aahk-25102011.zip && unzip aahk-25102011.zip && sudo ./hack-ace.sh

in terminal, press "1" and be afk for 5 mins.
Doesn't erase your data, doesn't format your phone, doesn't downgrade your Android OS. It...it just works!
Good luck with it

Yeep! It sure does work I tried it and flashed the android revolution hd rom. Brilliant thanks a lot! Only thing is the sound seems a little different. It is much louder but also has this tinny effect at times. I will patch the cm7 audiofix and see how it goes.

Go to htcdev dot com, you'll find the official way to do it by HTC

sugestion for a thread: rooting succes stories Defy+

This is not a question but a suggestion for a new to start thread and making it sticky.
The problem:
Defy+ rooting
After much research and attempts I still did not succeed in rooting my device and it seems that I'm not alone.
These are the details of my Defy+:
System version 45.0.2310.MB526.retail.en.DE
Model number:MB526
Android version: 2.3.6
Baseband version EPU93_U_00.60.03
kERNEL VERSION: [email protected]#1
Build number:4.5.1-134_DFP-231
Boot loader version: 09.10
I believe the Boot Loader version is the problem, all fixes seem to be made for lower BL numbers, but correct me if I'm wrong.
My suggestion: starting a sticky thread with succes storys of how you rooted your Defy+.
included in every post would be the phone details and the tools/procedures used. Extra info could be what you did after rooting succesfully: new sbf file, what mods, etc.
It would make live easier for all Noobs like myself. Instead of crawling through the enormous pile of info you go straight to the succesful endresult.

The exploits/scripts work all the same for versions til BL6.
For BL7 unfortunately the only method till now is to flash the rooted SBF. (method= Here.)
While a sticky thread sounds good,but I guess a wiki guide would be much better.

Hi neo.ank,
Wiki or sticky, for me its not important. But in this way we can learn much more & quicker than plowing through all these threads.
But your remark is most helpful to me.
Am I correct in my understanding that I can flash another sbf using Motorola's
RSDlite (without root access) and then, with the new suitable .sfb root my phone?
Like I stated before: I'm not hindered by any knowledge on the subject...

Yes.! You got it right..use the SBF's mentioned in the rooting thread.
To get the idea 'bout flashing, sbf's etc. Go through

Its for defy but the flashing and stuff is same.
Doesn't matter from where I send it, what matters is written above

[Q] Only want bloatware gone!?!

Hi!
Got a new desire hd A9191 after I smashed the screen on my old one
I know its now an old phone model but decided on another dhd as theyre more than good enough for me
I got the first one 3-4 years ago, upgraded to a Samsung galaxy s3 when my contract ran out 18 months later but really didnt like the s3 compared to my dhd (believe it or not!) so sold the s3 and stuck with my dhd
Anyways...
What id like to do is to get rid of the bloatware that comes with a new phone
Ive looked through a load of threads but they are either outdated, not supported anymore, have dead links (probably due to the age of the phone (and my question!)) or are more about flashing a custom rom
Also some of what ive read is well beyond my understanding and I don't want to be starting yet another "help me ive messed my phone up" thread!
What I do understand is that to delete stock apps I need root access to my dhd
There are apps on the app store that easily delete stock apps but you need root access for them to work
So could someone please tell me either an up to date tool to use or an up to date thread to follow that will get my dhd rooted
Am looking at the VISIONary tool at the mo due to the software version im running (see below) as per
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841076
Was just going to do step one and use the VISIONary tool to root my dhd and not worry about step 2 and 3 Is this any good?!?
Some details...
android version 2.2
baseband version 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M
kernel version 2.6.32.21-gf3f553d [email protected]#1 Thurs Oct 28 13:24:11 CST 2010

My dhd is in brand new out the box condition
Ive not done any updates or downloaded any apps yet
Many thanks for reading!!

Hi bananagranola
Thank you for your reply
This is one of the tools I looked at but support has been stopped and didnt think it would work for my dhd after reading this (im on froyo 2.2)
glevitan:
First Line in the warning...this Is just for stock devices. Will only work in gb because froyo will not allow to unlock the bootloader....
Do I need to update to gb before using the easy ace tool?!?
Many thanks
Matt

Yes, you will need to run a RUU.

Ive connected my dhd to my broadband and had the 2.3.5 update pop up so will run that and then go through the ace root tool
Thanks for taking the time to reply again!
