Hi,
I red a lot about these problem, but non of the posts helped me!
I had the latest version of the frimware. I read/write in hebrew so the RTL problem was really annoying! so i decided to root my phone and install rom that has RTL fix.
I did downgrade and i rooted my phone, but i cant get rid off the the radio (s-on).
I rooted with visionary+, but when i open the "easy radio tool", and i press on "do it", it stuck at the end. i waited one hour, and i know that it used to take 20 sec.
I tried other computer, i did factory reset, i even made gold card... nothing. still stuck. i tried to do h-boot with terminal emulator, after i press su its ok, with the #, but the next it says "cant open sdcard/dhd/check". i tried different sdcard but it doesnt matter.
Now i have android version 2.2, kernel 2.6.32.21 and software 1.32.405.6.
Please tell me what i do wrong, i spent 10 hours for nothing!!
Thank you very much!

did you downgrade 1st
like in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
how did you get root only with Visionary since visionary doesn't work since 1.72
and if you are really S-OFF (you should see it in the HBOOt menu ...when you restart press Power button and volume down and hold them....), the, instal the latest HTC sync , just to have the latest adb drivers, and take care...when you us Easy radio tool to keep the phone screen on, and on the main window...cause a SUPER USER window is gonna appear to ask for Super user permission ...of course you press YES
Hi
Tank you very much for the answer.
Yes, i did downgrade exactualy like in the post (i had Gingerbread , i didnt have to do the froyo-section 2a right? :/ )
After that i did root with visionary that is very simple after i downgrade to 1.32.
I didnt finish the radio tool, but i had the superuser permission and i pressed "yes".
Doesnt work.
Any other ideas?

I understood that it doesnt matter what you do first, but i will try.
i tried the eng s-off but i have the same problem, it stuck in the middle, when it says "verifying and disabling write protection". there is not any error message like the easy radio tool, it just stuck, no matter how long i wait.

glad to here that..... aspect you on Android Revolution thread
Hi Friends,
Infact i am new to android so i am facing many difficulties and i read lot of posts but realy dont understand how i start playing wth android.
When i try to enter in recovery mode by shutdown and by pressing both power and down volume button but nothing happened. after releasing these buttons it directly go to nomal boot and power on.
i have htc desire, with android 2.3.3 , 8gb sd
some other problems
internal memory is very low,
what i should do to fix these issues.
i am new please tell me in detail and step by step.
thanks
is there anyone who will help me.....
Hi
The trick to enter the bootloader is to press ONLY the volume down key, then start the phone. In bootloader, you have to pick recovery, press the power button and *booom*, you're in the recovery ;-)
And for you to ask a step by step process & so forth would be a bit impossible at the moment.....[unless somebody is really willing to help you out]...There's your Search functionality...maximize it.....just as long as you know what you need to know then search will always be there for you.....most of the solutions these days are here already,,,you just need to be clever enough in providing the right keyword when you search....you can pretty much try googling for a solution as well......
When all else fails.....that's the time you ask for Help......I can somehow help you out on some queries but on my free time buddy.
Cheers...
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
What rom you running, what hboot etc... if you provide some more info it will be better to get some info...
Did you untick fastboot mode in settings?
do you have an ext partition?
I know that problem. Some ROMs (like InsertCoin) doesn't shutdown properly so they can restart very quickly. The trick is to remove the battery for about 10 seconds and then try again with Power + Vol down.

The "trick" is to disable the 'fastboot' option in settings -__-

Thanks dear friend. first of all i think
"Cool3D RunnyMede v6" is ok, it have sense 3.5 and if its will not work in desire then recomend me other which you like. after learning i will try different.
When you talk about low memory, you mean for apps?
I had this problem back when I had a desire. The best solution I found for this was using a ROM with A2SD or A2SD+, which effectivley 'extends' the memory area for apps into your SD card.
Signal problems can be caused by a variety of things, but (again form my own experience) it can take a while to get a ROM, kernel, and Radio that work perfectly. That said, it shouldnt be hard to get together a set that works.
Are you rooted?
Are you looking to put a custom ROM on your phone?

It's probably best to start with rooting. There are many guides which already exist, here on XDA and outside on the big wide google. One particular method though is the one which I used, unrEVOked. It works pretty well. A good duide on the method is here.

It's a tool used for rooting many different HTC devices. It's fairly easy to use, like a one-click solution.
run revolutionary that should you s-off then flash your recovery (check my signature)...
Unrevoked is method to get root but you mentioned s-off revolutionary is the best option because alpharev is older method (0.93 hboot)

You don't have a recovery. Are you s-off? Check the guide in post#7 in my signature.

What have you done so far? Your bootloader shouldn't be messed if you haven't done anything. Have you run AAHK or HTCDEV? If so, have you gotten any output? Can you still boot into the phone? Check whether you are S-OFF by rebooting while holding power and volume-down.
I'll start from the top.
Do you have a desire hd or an Inspire?
I'm assuming you are not rooted. To find out if you are rooted, make sure "fast boot" is switched of somewhere in settings when you are in the rom. It would either be under "battery" or "developer options" or one of those.
Switch the phone off. Hold the down volume button, and while holding it down then press the power button - wait, it should then boot into hboot.
In hboot it will tell you if you are s-off or s-on.
If you are s-on, you will need to root your device. If it is the desire hd, it's easier than the inspire (if you have the lattest software update on the inspire). You would go to aahk (ace advance hack kit) website which you can find in the thread I gave you. Take your time to read everything before you even download the hack kit. With the desire hd, it's pretty much a couple of clicks and you are done. With the inspire there are a few more steps - you'll be able to find all the instructions in that website. Make sure you read everything, including the effen manual. Read for comprehension. Don't skim it.
Now, if you are s-off, then all you will need to do is flash a recovery. You can find the instructions for that in the guide in post#7 as suggested previously [As well, the guide will give you a good idea on the terminology, steps, troubleshooters, etc., so that you can comunicate what is going on with your device in case you run into any problems and need help]. You can either use the method in the guide to flash a recovery or look through the second post which has a different method to flashing a recovery. Use whichever you are more comfortable with. However, if you are s-on, you should use the hack kit which will do everything for you except flash a different rom.
The other method is using htcdev to unlock your bootloader which will let you flash the rom.img. In the second post of the same thread, you can find a link on how to get this done. I won't go into how to flash a rom with this method, but the info is in that post.
If you use the hack kit, go on over to the developer section and search for what rom you would like to flash. As a rule, read the first page and the last five to have a good idea. In the past I used to suggest read the first five pages and the last ten, but as of late the dev section has gotten so overcrowded with junk, the same rule doesn't apply anymore.
Once you have read the OP (original post/first page), see what you would need to flash to get a working rom. Depending on which recovery you are using, CWM which comes standard when you use the hack kit (the wipe procedure is in the guide), or you can use a different recovery as 4ext (wipe procedure is also in the guide / and they are usually in the OP of each thread in the dev section). As a suggestion, try to get a touch recovery if you are going to be changing roms frequently. It will help spare the use of the hardware buttons to get things done.
Now, once you have flashed (installed) a new rom onto your phone, keep in mind that almost any question you can think of has already been asked countless of times. There is a search function which can be used to find whatever issue you are having. I can't recall if "how to use the search function" is linked in the thread or not. But how to report a bug is.
Hope this helps to get you started. Good luck.
Hi guys,
I have HTC DESIRE HD 001HT, volume keys of this device has broken, they don't work anymore. Now I want to root my device. It's running Android 2.3.3 with Sense 2.1.
Please let me know how can I root my device, during rooting I'll have to enter into the recovery mode which can't be done without the volume keys I think. Is there any other way?
I searched and found that this can be done using 'adb' or touch based recovery like 4ext or cwm touch but I'm a newbie, can you please link me to a step by step article for that?
Thanks.
You can use ADB to reboot, and you can flash a touch recovery, but if you get stuck without working ADB somehow, you'll brick.
If you still insist on rooting, you need to update your phone using your region's latest RUU. If you can't find that, make a goldcard to run any RUU. Then, Easy Ace Root Tool. All three steps are very well documented here throughout the forums, especially in the Ace Think Tank.
