Problem Downgrading with Ace Hack Kit - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm using the ace hack kit to root my phone. It's downloaded a downgraded ROM and transferred it to my sd card. The phone then launches the hboot screen on my phone and i'm not sure what to do next. Can anyone help?

On the PC it tells me to press VOLUME UP when prompted but the phone doesn't prompt me to do so.

Cheers. I'll give it a try. Probably doesn't help that the card i'm using is a cheapo from eBay.

The issue is not being cheap or large. It is that seems to be corrupted to work as a goldcard. That happens when eject it in an improper way...bad habits they call it.

Hey glevitan, I think it's brilliant of you, that you are here answering noob queries (like me), couldn't get any response on the IRC channel yesterday.
Think I have the same problem as the OP, but I've tried with 2 SD cards so far. Going to try after freshly FAT32 formatting one of those SD cards today evening, any chance that could work?
I'm from India, and though it's not carrier locked, the Desire HD i'm trying to root is now stuck on the screen with a black triangle, with the Red Exclamation sign, right after the splash screen. Only can access HBOOT 2.0 when restarting with Vol. Down + Power button.
I also now keep getting error:device offline problems as well when trying to run the Ace kit. The Ace kit only detects the phone and takes to the "Enter Pass key" screen if the phone is in the black triangle screen. It does not detect the phone if it's on the HBOOT or FASTBOOT screens.
Flashing an RUU also fails on the INFOsignature check point. So i guess the problem is an SD card issue.
I also couldn't find any method from the HBOOT screen to mount SD to transfer files to it, have now got hold of a Micro SD adapter to try transferring files to it through a card reader.
The software build version of the phone was on the list of ROM's necessary to downgrade in your PDF file, and I think that's where it is now stuck.
What I hope to now do is 1. Rerun the ACE kit with this formatted SD Card and see if ACE successfully completes
2. Download one of the PD98IMG.zip files, paste it in the SD Card root, get into HBOOT and hope HBOOT flashes the stock ROM.
3. Pray hard.
Didn't realise rooting the Desire HD was so insanely hard compared to my Nexus S, would never have attempted to try!!!
Thanks for any help/guidance/(even if you vaguely point in some direction, think I'll run that way like a dog in hope of finding a bone. )

Yes you were right about it being the sd card. My original card was a 4GB card i bought off eBay (probably sourced from China). Today i used a 32GB class 10 card by Samsung and it worked perfectly. Doubt you'll need a card of that standard but i thought i'd give the details for reference.

i am having the same issues. downgrade doesnt work. ugh. wish there was a program like the ace kit that i could download. any ideas....? plz help

AAHK is still around, just not on XDA. It's linked in the OP of the Ace Think Tank thread, linked in my signature.

i'm having this problem too on my HTC desire but it's not branded
please help
Mine has finally booted up.. after a hard reset.... but wont connect to the network and reboots after a couple of minutes when the Process System crashes....
Will I be able to roll this back to 2.1 with a gold card?
Do you think that I did the update without a goldcard is the problem?
You need to update using the gold card. I found this out the hard way too. To cure my phone I placed the 2.2 update file on the root of my gold card and using the phone's boot loader selected recover. It's worked a treat and saved all my settings.

I had the same problem with a debranded phone. This also fixed it for me.
I'm still trying to fix mine :/
After I made the goldcard I left it in the phone for a while... copied the odd bit of music and video to it... is it still a goldcard?
I never formatted it or anything else... I just left it in the phone.

Can I still do this after I have got 2.2 on the phone now? I checked the software version.. it definitely says 2.2
I've done what the above have done, with the goldcard....but I have no service or anything.....it keeps coming up with errors,I can't see my SD Card,I think it's had it!
I am in the POOH too!
I took the 2.2 update OTA on my T-Mobile HTC Desire and now it continually reboots after a while but will not connect to the mobile network and WiFi just shows error and will not even turn on!
Anybody got the gold card fix working with T-Mobile?

Hi,
I had the same problem, at the lower link I wrote how I fixed it.
Atm I've got a unbranded T-mobile Desire with 2.2 running well.

[Q] desire hd goldcard

hi i need some help with the goldcard,
i tried to root my desire hd yesterday but something went wrong and now it doesn't boot at all, when i turn it on it only shows the htc logo and thats it.
It lets me go to to the fastboot screen pressing the volume and power buttons but that's as far as it goes, I've been reading and searching how to fix this problem, i think what it has is called "brick", anyway i just want to put the rom that it had before and restore it to its default settings, to do that i need a goldcard which you can easily get if your phone is working, but because my phone doesn't start i cant access to setting and enable the debugging mode, therefore i havent been able to create a goldcard, my question is: is there any way to get a goldcard without putting the sd card in the phone? or is there any other way to fix the problem and get my phone working?
thanks in advance, anything will be helpful

Download pd98img.zip file, place it on your sd card. Start your phone in hboot mode ( lower volume button & turn on button ) the phone should automatically download it to your phone. You should then be able to upgrade to gingerbread 2.3.3. The version it will upload should be version 2.2.

Any way to run RUU through bootloader on phone?

My usb port decided to quit working on my phone it won't charge either. I took it to Sprint, all of a sudden it works again, he said he didn't do anything to it but it works now and I took it home and it did. The tech also said it has basic root even after I used a PC36IMG to unroot, return to stock, and S-On. But a user on here said with my HBOOT reading 6.17.00001 instead of the 2.16.00001 that is how the tech found out I rooted it. It says S-On and DOESN'T say Revolutionary.
Any ways I was told I need to run an RUU to get the stock hboot so I can take my phone back to sprint and get it replaced/fixed if possible. I've never ran an RUU and was wondering if I could install it through the bootloader since my phone won't stay connected to the computer?
Sorry for asking this twice as I asked it in the RUU thread but I haven't received an answer yet and I'm needing to get this resolved asap . Thanks.
EDIT: Basically in short, i need to downgrade my hboot from 6.17.00001 S-ON to 2.16.00001 S-ON. And again i am unrooted, stock, s-on, usb wont work so i cant connect to computer or charge.

You need to download this PC36IMG file to your computer, and get it to your SD card, either from your computer or a computer with an SD card slot and adapter, or through your cord.

No problem.
By the way the Hboot version should be 2.16.00001 not 6.16.00001 after returning to stock. 6.16 is the Revolutionary one.
Too many numbers lol.

Thanks for this. It was exactly what I was looking for
I've had the above option work for me before but also had it not work on another Evo I had. The other option I went with was looking for the fastboot.exe file.. (google.com will help, but I will post when I get on that PC). I placed it in my sdk folder inside platform-tools folder then connected with Fastboot USB via bootloader and sent the following command using cmd.
"Be sure to cd into your platform-tools folder before this command..if you have the sdk of coarse :\"
fastboot devices <<< this is just to be sure it locates your device
fastboot oem rebootRUU
The phone will then go into the black screen showing "htc" emblem and then you can run the RUU. Worked like a charm for me. This is a similar process using the adb command "adb shell reboot oem-78" Only reason I couldn't use that command was because I was stuck with a boot loop . lol
Hope this helps at all. Good luck bud. ..... hope it made sense to.. it is 5:06am cut me slack..

[Q] Stuck DesireHD, can still get HBOOT, OrangeUK, help! (Noobishness within)

Hi all,
After scouring the intertubes for 2 days, I've had to give in and beg for wisdom on this one.
Recently inherited a Desire HD from my wife, factory-reset but loaded with Orange crapware, so I thought I'd crack on and root straight away.
Went for it with the AAHK kit, however it hung at the white screen after restarting, and have had no life out of it ever since. I can still access the HBOOT screen and Bootloader, from which I managed to query the device infor, CID etc, see attached file. HBOOT info is:
ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-0.85.0024
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.09.04.11_M2
eMMC-boot
Apr 12 2011,00:55:45
I've tried to get the firmware up and running again with various RUU's, with and without the goldcard I've made, and am now at a loss! The RUU will initially look to be working, get some way into the progress bar before returning the error message - 'The ROM Update Utility cannot update your android phone. Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.'
As the device can switch on, it's clearly not a brick, just incredibly stuck!
Can anyone help me get this going again, ideally unbranded and rooted?
Thanks in advance!

Ok, the phone is still s-on.
Did you try to run aahk again on the phone?
What system did you use to run aahk on? Maybe try the method with the ubuntu boot cd to rule out any problems with the host computer.
Since the phone is still S-ON you can only install signed images. But the RUU ones should work.
Did you also try to copy the RUU to the SD-Card (adb push "RUU-File" /sdcard/PD98IMG.zip) and boot into hboot?

I did try to rerun AAHK, all it did was give me a connection error message.
I presume pushing the RUU to the SD card is the same as copying it and renaming the file? I've literally zero experience of the terminal ocmmands involved.

[Q] Rooting and getting s-off problems

Ok, I have rooted phones before but this one is proving to be a pain. It isn't my phone. It belongs to a mate.
His screen became unresponsive. He searched the web and found that it may well be the digitiser so he bought one off ebay and fitted it himself. All good so far. However, it seems to be a common thing that when you fit a new digitiser it requires calibration and before you can calibrate it, it simply doesn't respond.
So, I have a phone with no usable screen. It turns on and I can see the screen no problem but I cannot get into it. He then turned to me. I found there is a tool to calibrate it which you can install called PG76DIAG. Put this on the root of the SD card and run the bootloader and run it. However it complains it can't run it. I'm not entirely sure why but I read that rooting the phone would mean I could.
So to root the phone I need to set s-off. Fine, I downloaded unrevoked to do this. However this needs me to set USB debugging mode on. As my mate is a technophobe he a) has no idea what that is and b) hasn't turned it on.
As the screen is not working I can't turn it on. So at the moment, I cannot root the device. Does anyone have any ideas how I can root the device or get the screen working?
Thanks.

Ok, first off are you sure its a wildfire s (marvel) and not a wildfire (buzz/bee).
The wildfire s does not have a s-off, except for the cdma one. But the tool you ran would have s-offed it if it was.secondly Can you boot into the bootloader again and tell me what it states.
ie device code name, hboot version and radio version.
Thirdly, if you do have a wildfire s you can still run the diag.nbh if you have a. Goldcard, root not required and that in turn will recalibrate the screen

Ok have a read at this http://www.theandroidsoul.com/guide-how-to-create-goldcard-sd-card-for-htc-android-phones-w-video/
A goldcard is used to make htc devices ignore cid checks for ruu's ect. But this will allow you to run the pj76diag.zip which in turn will calibrate your screen. Although you will not gain s-off
The website linked in this guide is dead, but i can generate goldcards so bump this thread with your reverse cid and we can give it a bash

Anyway, this is a copy and paste of the number: 00a800130067200547323041534d5402
What next?

Ok have a read at this http://www.theandroidsoul.com/guide-how-to-create-goldcard-sd-card-for-htc-android-phones-w-video/
A goldcard is used to make htc devices ignore cid checks for ruu's ect. But this will allow you to run the pj76diag.zip which in turn will calibrate your screen. Although you will not gain s-off
The website linked in this guide is dead, but i can generate goldcards so bump this thread with your reverse cid and we can give it a bash

ok use this goldcard and follow the guide to patch the file into your micro sd card. it Needs to be the same card you took the cid from.
make sure that if it is your main sd card that you back up everything on it, just incase it needs to be formatted afterwards.
after that you need to run this from your sd card in the bootloader to use the diag file to make the phone boot into the diagnosis file.
that in turn should recalibrate the screen
Ok, the PG76IMG.zip file in the second link.
Do I put that in the root of the CD card that I've just made into a goldcard? Do I extract it?
Thanks.

ah, sorry it goes onto the root of the sd card, still zipped and unchanged
Cool. Ok I did that. I restarted and chose recovery from the bootloader and I get the red triangle. First of all I get a phone icon with a green circle which then changes to the red triangle.
It did this before I started working on it anyway. Part of me thinks the thing is bricked anyway. Any further ideas?
When I ran it with the goldcard it didn't complain though.
Any other thoughts?

You shouldn't choose recovery at all. You shouldn't get the chance, the phone should find the diag file and jump straight into it. Also, that is just the stock recovery screen, its fine. This leads me to think the goldcard has failed. Did the hboot search the card or just allow immediate control from the volume buttons?

I followed the instructions on that webpage to the letter (honest)
I tried it again. It shows the PG76IMG.zip loading and then checking but it then just goes to the main main after that.

My mistake I've linked the wrong file :-/ download this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=785885&d=1321564172 and extract onto the root of your sd card. Then try again, you shouldn't need to re-goldcard unless you have formatted it since.

Sorry for being such a n00b but I assume with this one I extract the RAR file and put both the files inside onto the root?

Ok I did that but it says Security Failed. If I try and open the zip file in Windows it says the file is invalid.

Ok I guessed that the nbh file is the one I need so I put just that one in the root. Rebooted and it parses the file and then says security fail, update failed.
I reckon I'm gonna tell my mate to buy a new phone.

Hmmm :-/
Sounds like its probably for the best. Unless the goldcard is failing that should be working....

I'm going to give it one more go from start to finish and I'll let you know. If it fails I'll tell him to dig deep and buy a new phone

Hey. I am having the same problem. I've managed to get my cid. Would there be any chance you could make me up a gold card image for it please?
Here's the cid I got from goldcard helper.

If you have a custom recovery you can go to recovery and usb debugging is already enabled and you can also mount usb storage giving you access to the sd card.
