[Q] Bootloader Unlock HTCDEV -and alternatives?- - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have the following system configuration:
ACE PVT ship S-ON RL
HBOT-2.00.0027
RADIO -26.14.04.28_M
Android ver: 2.3.5
HTC Sense:3.0
SW ver: 3.13.161.3
carrier: Vodafone ES (Spain)
and I would like to root my terminal. I read that, first of all, I have to put in S-OFF mode and the only way to achieve it is using HTCDEV.com bootloader unlock
So, I followed the steps (without updating RUU as I saw I have the last SW version in RUU list) but when i'm going to generate the token, with
"fastboot oem get_identifier_token" it shows "(bootloader) [ERR] Command error !". ( I think the bootloader 2.00.0027 doesn't recognize option "get_identifier")
Should I download the "PD9810000_Ace_Sense30_S_hboot_2.00.0029.exe" from HTC Europe Carrier?
Has anybody tried to install this RUU with same configuration as mine?
Second question. If this RUU works, it performs a factory reset , isn't it? Are there any other alternatives in order not to wipe data?
And Third and last question. Which are the next steps I have to take to root my terminal?
Thx in advance.

You can unlock bootloader with Advanced Ace Hack Kit. First you need it's downgrade, then you will have have HBOOT 0.85 and then it's easy way to get S-OFF. All things will be done automatically by this application

And your fastboot/hboot does say something like aplpharev on the top? If that is the case it will also work if you do it right when booted into fastboot. I might be able to guide you through it.
If that is not the case, something is wrong, and you will need to run alpharev again.
I also dont get how your cid can be 11111111, as that definitely does not look right. Try booting to fastboot and run "fastboot oem boot" and write the cid it throws out it should be something like HTC_Y13

disable the phone from the wire
Hit Ctrl + C
see $
write vi alpharev.sh Hit Enter
cursor down to 117 lines, where it is written PB9920000 remove zeros that would get PB992
Hit Shift colon and write wq

I tried the process,I changed the PB9920000 to PB992 but I dont understand what is that mean :"Hit Shift colon and write wq"
what is shift colon ?
Edit :O.K I figured it out !!!!
after I changed the num to PB992 I pushed Shift+Z
and I wrote :" ./ alpharev.sh "and Enter
It start all over from the begining and its all working good now.
Thank you very much...
His phone is s-off alright, but it has somehow been delivered that way, so you have got a phone, which were meant for development or a store demo device(have seen the same issue on store demo devices).
The problem is, that this is real s-off, which means it's set by a flag on a low level of the nand, so he still has the original bootloader, which doesn't support fastboot commands. And because it's a development device it's got cid 11111111, which is wrong and makes alpharev recognize it as a different/non existing device. You should be able to flash it in another way because as you are s-off, you can make the recovery ask the bootloader to flash low level stuff like splash, and the bootloader is s-off, so it shouldn't check for anything. You might need some specialist aka the ones from alpharev though if they are interested in helping you.
edit: As it is s-off it might very well be able to flash one of the pb99img.zip files containing the alpharev hboot found on the alpharev site because it will accept them as if they were from HTC, so just put them on the sd-card with the right name and reboot to the bootloader. This way you might be able to activate fastboot commands, and start flashing the same way we do. This requires that those images will work normally on your phone, so i would still ask the alpharev guys so you don't risk a brick.
i agree with mortenmhp asking alpharev is probably the best idea
shift colon is probably :
in the editor vi you use ":wq" to tell the programm to save stuff and exit the editor
How can I make contact with alpharev ?
I didn't understant how to use the IRC...

"Checking the device state" instructions here:

for first on .. it's OK
What about If it says ACE PVT ENG S-OFF, you have ENG S-OFF, go to System info
where i found it ?
thanks
In bootloader mode...
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App
Checking the device state:
- Go to the bootloader (turn fastboot off, turn off phone, hold vol- and power)
- If it says ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF in the first line, your device is Radio S-OFF
- If it says ACE PVT ENG S-OFF, you have ENG S-OFF, go to System info
- If system info CID is 11111111, your device is SuperCID
- And if you can verify either Radio S-OFF or SuperCID (and you did both), it worked fine and you have both of them
- You can check your original CID by going to radio tool folder with cmd and typing: "adb shell getprop ro.cid"

since you've unlocked the bootloader before, I'm going to assume you've done exactly what you needed to do to get it to work. So there's no really good reason it wouldn't work again. I did come across something odd when unlocked the bootloader after flashing back to stock with an RUU; I had to switch USB ports...it sounds weird and I can't explain it, but fastboot recognized the device but would not let me do much more than that, but after simply switching to a different USB port on my laptop, bingo!
Maybe give that a try.
What error comes back to you in terminal / cmd ?

[Q] How to install Android Revolution HD Rom on Rooted Stock with HBoot 1.12.0000

Hello everyone,
I am a newbie and I want to install the Android Revolotion HD 18.0 Rom on my HTC One X.
I tried before and almost got a bricked phone because of the wrong Hboot installation.
I re-flashed my old Hboot and after that my phone worked again, thank God!
So what do I have to do? I now now that I can't flash from Hboot 1.12.0000 directly to 1.36
I am currently on:
*Unlocked*
Endeavoru PVT Ship S-ON RL
Hboot - 1.12.0000
Microp - None
Radio - 2.1204.135.20
eMMC - bootmode: disabled
CPU - bootmode: disabled
HW Secure boot: OFF
Modem Path: OFF
June 28 2012 11:31.28
I have ROM Manager ClockworkMod Recovery 5.8.4.0 installed
1- you cannot reflash an old hboot with S-ON
2- while in fastboot usb mode : type this in cmd: fastboot oem readcid
then look in this thread for your cid and download the firmware aka hboot.
then you flash the rom from the recovery and dont forget the boot.img included in the zip(you have to flash it manually from fastboot, fastboot flash boot path.to...boot.img)
return to stock, get an OTA upgrade, unlock the phone
You CID is the most important information. Most of phone companies should have provided the JB update via OTA by now. To get it, you need to revert to stock and re-lock the phone. The upgrade process will then bump hboot to v1.36 or v1.39
If you don't have a nandroid backup of your original ROM or cannot find the exact RUU for your phone, check this thread: Return to stock without latest RUU
when done, relock the phone (
Code:
fastboot oem lock
)
Get the JB OTA update hopefully available (settings|about|software|check update). If not available, wait...
When done, unlock the phone again via htcdev (or if you still have the unlock_code.bin file, use command
Code:
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
Install Recovery and SU
You can now install JB custom ROM.

Can't root this Desire HD...=(

I have just bought this phone, and i've rooted anothers, but i tried every guide, every tool (all of them no longer working), and not even HTCDev could help me.

I can't find a guide to get my S-OFF, all of them fail. I tried too with VISIONary+ r14 and keep frozen on black screen when i attemp to temproot.
Followed this guide to get temporary root. Writing on cmd "adb shell" at last step I got "$" and cant do the downgrade. I have made my Goldcard too, but nothing works...
Please, tell me what should i do, i just want RADIO S-OFF and then i will be capable of root or whatever i like =). Thanks to all anyways.
S-Off takes a great deal of skill now that AAHK is retired. You can still unlock the bootloader though.

I'm about to pull my hair out, this is so effing stupid. I keep getting stuck at step 1! I have a goldcard and it still wont update to 2.00.0029! I run the update tool, then when I go to fastboot it still says "2.00.0027" at the top. What am I doing wrong?
Read carefully : the unlockable bootloader update would seam to be region specific to make and model of phone, there are about 4 or 5 different versions on the htcdev website, please check the correct model and region of phone first...
Here's an idea try the PD98IMG.ZIP in this post, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40498764 it is the hboot 2.0.29 update you use via direct bootloader flashing.
