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.

it seems that your goldcard might not be working. However not sure without knowing exactly what your error is.
What is your cid and main version number?

CID is ORANG001.

Re. creation of the goldcard - I put the sd in my wife's phone and ran the Goldcard helper app, then put the code into the website, then used the image file it created. Seemed straightforward, not sure what could be the problem there? It was a brand new 32GB card.

Hi glevitan,
I tried that RUU, it failed on a 'remote: 42 custom id check fail' error. I've attached an image of the terminal window. No idea what this means.
An RUU is a .exe, run it in windows like any other software

Ok. Try the following. Rename that file PD98IMG.zip, put it into the sdcard and boot in hboot. When prompted to update, choose yes if that error still occurs, then your goldcard is failing.

Wrong. A ruu can be in a .zip file and be flashed in fastboot or in hboot. The .exe format is how carriers pack it.

Cracked it.
I stopped trying to use the 32GB microSD and bought a cheap 8GB one. Glevitan's firmware then flashed no problem, aahk did it's stuff, and all is well in the world! So small-capacity microSD's make better goldcards.
Thanks for all your help!

Your radio number does not make sense. Was that the radio on the phone or did you flash it? The link below will give you d/l links to 4 different Inc radios. Also, as already suggested, you should update your HBOOT.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Support_Downloads#HTC_Incredible
Also, I am not sure what you are trying to do. Did you flash a gold card to use the Incredible on a different network than Verizon?
Check this link out.

Also, when all else fails RUU back to stock:

I missed that your phone is not rooted. You can't flash custom roms over an Incredible that is S-on.
To root your phone:
http://unrevoked.com/
I want to unlock the S-ON, but my phone can not enter the system can only enter HBOOT mode unrevoked3 can not connect to phone
Use the RUU as suggested then on doug piston's site.
Hi,
for some Reason the RUU doesn't work. I want to go back to a stock ROM without root and a locked hboot, but I get an Error 170 (Connection-Error?) The Cable and the connection have to be alright, since the device works as an mass-storage-device without problems. I tried running the ruu on different Roms and running it with the phone in hboot, but nothing works.
Any Ideas?
Thanks

RUU should work with this. I don't know what RUU did you try but I recommend 2.3. Also, take a look at installed programs in your computer, maybe you have some other drivers installed besides Sync.
You said that usb mass storage is working, maybe it's a partial usb brick, so you can try to install 4ext recovery and try a fix and then to try RUU.
Also, try reinstalling of HTC Sync, then after reinstall reboot the phone into bootloader and connect to see if you will get drivers installed.
i can't use a 2.3 RUU, since I'm in Germany and it doesn't work here, but I'll try your other tips, thank you

I didn't know about the issue with sms/mms, and i meant on that upgrade.
Well, I'm not sure about than FroYo RUU cause it depends on the fact how you bought your Desire and if it was brended. If it wasn't brended that's the one.

yes, thanks a lot!!! bootloader didn't work (batterypower said to be below 30% when in fact battery was full) so I switched over to fastboot, installed the drivers from your link again and tada, now it worked thanks a lot
edit: or so I thought, it went through until right to the end where it said something about checking signatures. it was after sending all the files over there. then it suddenly said error in user-id data or something like that..? (Error [131])
edit: goldcard solved that problem, so everything solved now, thanks

Dear everyone,
My phone is a device originally from Bell Canada. The specs are
Marvel PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-0.90.0000
MICROP-0451
RADIO-7.46.36.14M
Apr 8 2011, 17:45:10
Android v. 2.3.3
Software number: 1.36.666.5
Model: PG7611000
I was tempted to try the legendary Wildchild but couldn't reboot it to recovery mode with a properly prepared sd card.
Then I thought perhaps I still needed to unlock the bootloader. I went to the htcdev site and followed the steps.
I chose the right version RUU for the Bell 1.36.666.5 but an error notice said model ID was wrong.
I also tried to get the token ID. it failed for sure "Command error" so can't get the Token ID
When I tried the Wildfire_S_All-In-One_Kit_v1.0. The same thing happened: "Command error"!
Yes, the HTC SYNC was uninstalled. The debugging was on.
I didn't want to bother others until I had tried everything I could think of.
With no knowledge on android, I have spent 10 hours struggling with different approaches found online. Need some help now.
What procedure should I follow for my phone if I want to use Wildchild?
Thank you!

Thank you so much, Sir.
I followed this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1533639 here and applied that recovery file but nothing happened. I still get the wrong model ID message. Then I rebooted the phone and found out the HBOOT was not changed.
So far there seemed to me two solutions on the forum.
One is to update the HBOOT to an unlockable higher version then update the RUU and get it unlocked again. Or do some trick with something like ROM 1, which I have no idea how to get access to.
Extract the rom1.zip from the RUU, copy it to the root of the phone micro-sd card, rename it as PG76IMG and turn off the phone. Pull the battery out and reinsert it. Hold the volume down key and press the power on. It should boot into the bootloader. Then it will ask if you would like to update radiov2, choose yes and after reboot, you should be s-off...

Oh... I think I make a mistake. That's for s-off only. For flashing the wildchild ROM, you need to install a recovery other than the stock recovery (e.g. CWM recovery). And then root your device. Then you could install the ROM from the CWM recovery.

I got the WC3 on my phone with ROM 2 and ROM 1 -tried both but the "unlocked" pink line is now above the specs. I tried the RUU program. It says "model ID error" again... WC works now but how can i "unlock" it? btw, the phone is still s-off but locked.
I think because it is "unlocked" so LinkSD doesn't work. It says ext2 may not be supported by your device. Try FAT32". What is wrong? I followed the WC3 instruction created by the developer - 1 FAT, 1 EXT2 and 1 SWAP. Another problem I have is after move 1 apps to the SD card. It is full. I have a 4 G card with 1.2 FAT32, 512 Swap and the rest is EXT2.
Hi everyone,
I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction on an issue I am experiencing with my G2.
I am not new to flashing roms, etc, but I ran into an issue upgrading my radio to the latest T-mobile version (.30). I followed the instructions correctly and it updated through HBOOT and I restarted the phone. All was fine, I was connected to WiFi, T-mobile's network, and GPS locked on nice and quick. This morning, the Jelly Bean rom I had just installed last night (and tested the new radio with) froze on a black screen. I pulled the battery out and restarted and was unable to connect to the Tmobile network. It says: No Sim Card - No Service.
I've searched and tried everything I could find in the forums with no success. I tried an EFS wipe, reinstall of the rom after a clean wipe, reverting to the old radio version I had, restoring my previous Jelly Bean rom that worked fine with the old radio, and nothing seems to work.
I finally registered here and hope someone can assist me with getting my phone working again.
Thanks!
It sounds like either hardware or firmware, its possible your simcard slot randomly went bad. But before you go and replace it I would do a full partition. Boot to hboot and write down everything on that screen

Reading more of the post I am thinking I do not have true s-off because of my current CID info. Guess I will try that first!
Thanks again!
What method did you use to root and gain soff? If you used gfree then I would use your eng bootloader to change cid
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
fastboot reboot-bootloader
And then I would flash one of those pc10img.zips I linked you to (post 30)
If you didn't use gfree then unroot and son, then follow the xda wiki to root properly
These steps should fix your problem if its software/firmware
And if it won't fix almost for sure hardware

I am pretty sure I followed this method back in 2010. My phone has been s-off and rooted ever since. Am I not truly s-off? I am a bit confused!

Sorry, had to wait 5 minutes to edit the post!
Well I'm questioning if you are being you don't have supercid, this is usually something you would get along with the rooting process. That same post I linked you will tell you how to check, be sure you confirm as you may run into issues otherwise

If I were truly rooted, would I be able to change my CID or not?
Thanks again!
Well rooted is the wrong term, you have an engineering bootloader and so with this you can change cid, but this isn't my concern. There is true radio soff and fake soff, fake soff can cause issues when flashing pc10img.zips,
this is why I would highly recomend checking, like I said the instructions are there. Let me know if you have issues

Sooo...I did not unroot, root, and all that jazz again. I felt risky, installed the pc10img from the link you gave and it worked without a hitch...except it did not fix my sim card issue. I finally had another tmobile phone to test with and it was a dead/fried sim card. I had an extra, had it activated and tada! It worked. I am enjoying the new recovery though compared to CWM.
Thanks again for your time and help!
Well I'm glad it all worked! Yeah it seemed like hardware and I'm glad it was the chip vs the phone!

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

On the bootloader screen it says:
MARVEL PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.03.0000
MICROP-0451
RADIO-7.46.35.08

On your third point I don't know what diag.nbh is and I have no idea what a Goldcard is so I guess the answer is "I don't know"

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, I installed Goldcard Helper and ran it and the options I had were mmc0 and mmc1. mmc1 was at the top so I guess when the website says mmc2 it means 1.
Anyway, this is a copy and paste of the number: 00a800130067200547323041534d5402
What next?

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 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.

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

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.
