Hi all,
I follow the instructions in this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1152233 from CuBz90
But still not working in Desire HD with builed number 2.42.415.1
I try many times but I unfortunately failed..
Please help..

it wont work with 2.42...........
downgrading 2.42 is not yet found.........
we must hav to wait........

Thanks man i just wanted to know if it will work on my 2.42.... .

Hello,
I think it should works. This is using the Goldcard method. The goldcard is a general method which should not be dependent on the phone version !
With goldcard you can install other OFFICIAL stock roms.
In the field of Android custom ROMs, what a Gold Card does is letting you install ROMs on your Android device that aren’t intended for your carrier. For example, if you have a T-Mobile USA HTC Desire, you can install an official ROM intended for the O2 UK HTC Desire, or even a generic ROM that isn’t locked to a carrier. It does so by disabling the CID (Carrier ID) check that the device does when installing a ROM.

i think its about the software version,couldn't go back without temp root,and as long as we couldnt found a 2.42.415.1 or later rom with root bug like 2.37 softbank rom ,we couldn't reach any where

Using the goldcard doesn't need any root permissions. It is a htc way to use other official stock roms. First you try to downgrade to official stock rom 1.32.405.6 then try to root this version.

it could be ,but it wont work ,i also contacted jsl about it ,and he kept telling me u just need to let it go to sleep and then wake it up u will find an error which i couldn't get
but somehow i feel we are going root soon with 2.42.415.1 maybe this week,
but what do u think about going to the latest 2.50 ?

no way...am not going to update......the we have to wait again for downgrading 2.50.............
I will downgrade my 2.42 wen it comes.......
It will be great if we downgrade this week itself..........
I have lost almost 1 month for rooting my fone.....
now no way......

thanks all for reply ..
The waiting answer is not enough for me and the others , unless some one tell us if they works on it to figure out how to solve the root issue
thanks to all members in this forum specially the supportive peoples who give us that hope.
Am Still waiting since along time.. for a hope

i agree with you ,knowing someone is working on it is good and hopefull.

[Q] Back to the "old" Lock Screen

Hi @ all,
first you must excuse me, I'm a absolut newbie at this forum.
I used the search function but can'nt find any answer for my
request:
Yesterday I got a update for my Wildfire S from HTC.
2.3.3 was the old version - now it is 2.3.5
With the update my phone got a new lockscreen, like Sense 3.0.
But don't want to use this - it's horrible for me.
Could anyone here explain to me (step by step), how to get back the
"old" lockscreen (with the sliding control)
My phone owns the original HTC software - I don't know anything
about rooting or someting else.
Thank you in advance for your help.

You can't do that, only way would be downgrading to 2.3.3, but dunno if thats even possible.

You can also look in the market for lockscreen replacement apps to find one you like. This will be the easiest method since all other methods need root access.

I don't like this new lock screen too, but I guess I'll get used to.

Thank you - I tried a lot of lockscreen replacment alternates from the
market before I posted this - They are all only a compromise.
If it is possible I'm looking for a way to get back the original.
If I have to root my phone, I'll do it. But someone must give me a
step by step explanation.

If you are S-OFF you can try HTC Super Tool v2. Otherwise you can't root.

There are no technical problems - the "old" lockscreen is better to use.
(And... Yes, it's not my style)

WidgetLocker from market. That has an option and you don't need to downgrade either.

Use The Advanced Ace Hack Kit. Very simple to use if you read the Effen Manual

thanks but does this work for 2.3.5 ?

Did you even read the Addvanced Ace Hack Kit thread? About 20 lines down in huge red letters it states this:
•Sense 3, including those with RELOCKED HTC BOOTLOADERS (NOTE: NOT UNLOCKED - MUST BE LOCKED OR RELOCKED) is auto-detected in hack step. Option is given to download a GB RUU and downgrade or abort. This WILL wipe data.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Sense 3 is the 2.3.5 ROM. So yes it will work but it has to downgrade the ROM and it gives you the option to do so.

The Hack Kit works for all version of sense. Don't follow tutorials, just read the OP thread, the effen manual and follow instructions. It you do so, will work as a charm.

No, that video is missing a lot of information. Do as glevatin advised and read the kit, if not chances are you'll post again saying your phone is "messed" up

Rooting will give you simunlock. However, there is no guarantee it will work for all carriers. There are some it does not work with.

Google for a website that sells them.
You bought it in the uk, did you buy it from amazon uk or any online service? Contact the seller to see if he can help you.
I don't know what you mean by booting method.
Right now, all I can say is google is your friend.

Yes. Use the ace hack kit only to unlock/root your phone. Do not use any other method. You can flash anything in the dev section. Read the op (first page) before flashing. It will list what works and what bugs are listed.
