[Q] Root Evo 4.53 With Mac ??

I Know You Can Root The evo 4g With The Revolutionary IO Website .. But Thats On A Windows. I Would Like To Know If There is A Way To Root With A Mac ? 0.o Please , I Hate Running On Stock Running All Those Stock Apps I Dont Even Use. Id Like To Really Test Out That New Sense. Please , Id Hate To Pay $250 Dollars For A Damn Brand new Phone Too , Have A Good Day ;D

I would suggest finding a friend's Windows computer. You can root Gingerbread with Revolutionary.io on a Mac, but you have to do it via a Linux virtual machine.

I finally got it!! Here's what I did if anyone else has problems on a mac:
Was able to get it to work using Ubuntu through VMWare Fusion
1) Make sure phone is connected to Linux by going to "Virtual Machine" --> "USB" --> "Connect High Android 1.0"
2) Ran revolutionary through terminal using "sudo ./revolutionary"
3) Copy and pasted serial/beta key as described on this thread many times
4) Program froze on "zerging root..."
5) Letting terminal sit there for a few minutes, I checked the "Virtual Machine"-->"USB" and noticed the phone had disconnected. Clicked on "Connect High Android 1.0" again
6) It completed root and rebooted to fastboot twice and gave me s-off.

If you are lucky enough to still have Froyo 2.2
Since it is not compatible with Gingerbread 2.3, revolutionary would be your only choice IF you have gingerbread. Go to Settings - About Phone - Software Information and see which one you have.

I Have 4.53 -.-
I Cant Downgrade Cause My Main Version Update Always fails.
Is There Another Way I Can Get Froyo , Or At Least A RUU I Can Run In A mac ?

You have to get s-off before before you can run a ruu to downgrade gingerbread on EVO....so that won't help you. I recommend installing virtualbox and run Ubuntu. It will take about 30 minutes to download and install all necessary files, and plus, you learn some new stuff. Revolutionary works very fast after you have Ubuntu running.
I'm an avid Mac user at home but when I am away from home I use Ubuntu on my clevo p150hm. Both are great platforms and have their plus and minuses.
And also, a "ruu" is technically an exe file that runs for Windows environment. Rom Upgrade Utility.
If.you need help with any if this feel free to contact me via pm.

DHD Broken?

Hi fellow Android/HTC fan's,
I've been a reader of this forum now for a couple of years (mainly on the Xperia X10 part cause that's another phone I own) and I've gained loads of information and resources about flashing my Xperia and now for this HTC.
This problem however, I cannot fix.
The DHD i'm trying to fix crashed a couple of days ago running default HTC rom (because I was to lazy to flash it just yet ).
9 out of 10 times I start the phone, it get's stuck on the green HTC logo. The 1 time it actually DOES boot, every application that automatically starts up crashes and it's impossible to work with.
Since I wanted to flash the device anyway, so I tried rooting the device so I could install another recovery. None of the guides worked for me.
Using Visionairy app is impossible (cause I cannot launch any apps) and the all the guides using adb options also don't work for me (I can finish all the steps, but no root)
Since that didn't worked out for me, I wanted to fall-back and start again at a good base (working rom).
Tried flashing with RUU and using the ROM on SDCARD option. Both say that they've done their job but won't make a change.
I would expect that flashing a new STOCK rom would delete all my settings and apps, but this doesn't happen regardless of what I try.
As I tried all the options I could find, I hope you guys/girls can help me fix this DHD and make it an even better phone
The DHD was running on (I think) 2.3.5 (at least the latest available rom).
Hboot info:
ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.0.0.0027
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.14.04.28_M
Thanks in advance for your help!

Another thing I notice is that no settings get removed when I do a recovery or a factory reset.
Even applications I manually remove are back when the device is rebooted :S

Mine is already rooted for a while. But nowadays people seem to prefer 'advanced ace hack kit' for rooting Dhd. I would give it a shot.... Visionary is out dated....

Also tried the Advanced ace hack kit, but that one can't install the downgrade file due to the "Main Version" beeing newer.
If I understand the kit correctly it tries to do a soft root before installing the downgrade, but that's one of my problems cause that doesn't work.
Another thing I notice when running recovery is that I get the message that it's missing com files "cw recovery etc.".
Sounds to me that it's looking voor clockworkrecovery but i'm not using that yet (as I couldn't install it.

The Hack Kit is the only working tool to root the Ace (DHD / Inspire) If it is failing, is probably to a bad download. The main version issues are usually due to zergrush being eating by the Antivirus or firewall or any other security program. But to be sure I would need a pastebin of your outcome.
Run the hack kit and then paste the cmd session in a pastebin and hit the IRC in my signature...

Well, had an irc session with you guys yesterday and it looks like the phone is really broken
It is possible to get a temproot, but when the phone is rebooted everything is gone and i'm still not able to downgrade the firmware
Hope HTC will rma the phone...it's just over 2 years old.

I need an advice for a way to downgrade my HTC desire

Hi guys, I know there are a lot of posts about this , and thats the reason I write new one. I read them all, not only from this forum but from few more in the internet. What I need to know is - what is the safest and easiest ( I know its not easy ) way to downgrade my DHD with 3.12.405.1 software version to convinient one , so I can S-off, root and change my rom. I read about a lot of tools , 2-3 ways of doing it , but because of different problems like broken links, lack of support on the posts I decided to ask for your help here . Whats the way to do this - using AAHC, using this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424023) made me confused what is this platform-tools directory and some other things in it. So , I am ready for giving you a few beers ( I am sure other people too) if you explain me which sites or ways are these what I (and other users) should use

Cmon , doesnt any1 did this in the near future and show me what he used , thats all I need, no explains no nothing ?

You should try the official bootloader unlock from HTCDev : http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader
Follow the instructions, unlock your bootloader. Then flash a custom recovery image like clockworkmod from Fastboot using "Fastboot flash recovery [recovery_image]" from command line.
Boot into bootloader by pressing the Vol down and Power button to get into the Bootloader and then select Recovery.
Install the zip of whatever ROM you want from the recovery then.

Use AAHK. In short, run once to downgrade and a second time to S-OFF, flash custom recovery and and root. Make sure you read the entire manual.
The HTCDEV method gives you fewer ROM options and adds an extra flash step. It also is detectable so you can't go back to undetectable unroot, making warranty unrecoverable.

If u simply want to change ur rom or just root it u can do it with a software called rootme.Google it n u will find it.i hv tested it on 3.12 version but doesnt work on 3.13 version.once rooted install rom manager app from the market and flash a recovery within the app. Thn reboot into recovery using the same app. Now install whtever zip format rom u want. But if u want s-off thn u need to downgrade coz non of the softwares support the current version. Download a ruu of the software version u want to downgrade to on your computer run it n ur phone will be flashed to that version thn u can use softwares like ATM or easy s-off by jyoko..
P.s u can fibd the ruu on goo.im or just google for thm but remember if ur phone came with a gingerbread on it flash it with a Gingerbread ruu but if it came it Froyo u can flash any RUU.

Thanks a lot for the help, I am going to start now and see what will happen .

Actually , I think I am confused. All of you told me maybe 3-4 different ways. So I reconcidered what I need most and it is downgrade tool. The other things are easy for me. I just cant use lower version rom and start it because I cant find out if my phone was bought with froyo or GB. Thats my problem now - how to downgrade from 3.12.405.1 to rom that can be used for S-off , root and installing recovery :fingers-crossed: And at the end - I cant find a proper link to download Advanced Ace Hack Kit, the one from its site downloads the 96.8mb file and says :network error: .. wtf ?

There is only ONE way to hack your device. The Advanced Ace Hack Kit (http://tau.shadowchild.nl/attn1/?p=74) That will S-OFF and root your device in almost one step.
HTCDEV tools is useless and will not give you full control over your device, besides leaving traces of the unlock in case you need to revert back to stock for warranty purposes.
Use the Hack Kit and if needed use the guide in my signature to have more information. :good:

Yeah I run the AAHK but I got condused of so many menus there, I am afraid of bricking the device. Thats what I did - downloaded AAHK 12062012, extracted it, put the ROM file inside the folder in extracted files of AAHK. The I run it, input the password and its all connected. My phone is with fast boot of, debugging on and on charging only state . Whats the next I should do - there is nothing exactly shown. Should I press 1 and hack the device, should I use the downgrade to Froyo option .. I really got confused here. And I will tell you , I do not root or s-off or change recoverys, radios, kernels , roms for first time, I am flash junkie and this thing got me

There is BUT if you do end IP with a device that shipped with gb you will be in a world of hurt and you'll be back asking to fix your phone because you screwed the boot loader. Its simple DONT DOWNGRADE TO FROYO. there is no point or need. Just reread the manual until you get it.then run the hack kit

I understand you mate, but I wanna change my ROM, so if I am gonna do it, I suppose I have to downgrade in order to S-off, root and install recovery . Am I right or its me that doesnt get it ? If you say to leave it with GB, so what option should I use in AAHK ?

The kit never downgrades you froyo. I think this is where you are confused. Downgrade doesn't mean froyo. It just means you will be on a older version.
Here's some info. When HTC released the sense 3.0 update(3.12.405) it patched up things so we cannot get root/soff etc. So the kit downgrades you back to sense 2.1 (2.50.405-this is still GB). Then you rerun to get soff.
You only need the 1 click option.

You have to do nothing but read the manual. Do not use any other RUU to downgrade but the ones included in the Hack Kit. It will detect your OS version and prompt you to downgrade if needed. Gizmoe is right, the Hack Kit does not use FROYO RUU's anymore since the bootloader issue was detected.
Just make sure that you follow all the instructions. If you get stuck visit the IRC channel and we will lend you a hand. :good:

Okay I found the last version of AAHK, but I got this problem with the driver I should install , I saw it was the right one but now it is with version 2.x.x.x , the one in the AAHK folder is 3.0.0.7 and I cant install it , some error ocurs and it wants to be repaired , can I use the one that windows instals itself - the 2.x.x.x version ?

You can still S-OFF your phone.
After a while, the script might (if needed) try to download a PD98IMG file. When it gives an error simply google for the filename (might be PD98IMG-GB2 for example) and place it in the PD98IMG directory AAHK created. Everything should go well. I S-OFF'd my Desire yesterday.

Sorry KirovAir, but if the people you are advising to use the Hack Kit get stuck due to not following instructions or some other issue, will you support that? Because let me remember you that the Hack Kit is no longer supported nor here or in the IRC channel.

I had also read about 'Easy Ace Root Tool' in dev forum. But I have a question regarding that.
- It says that only Custom ROMs can be installed, not Ported ROMs. What is meant by 'ported ROMs'? Will I not be able to install, say Sabsa prime or Venom's ROM(which are ported from One S and Desire X), if I unlock bootloader using Easy Ace root tool?
Also, does it support flashing 4ext recovery?

could you please tell me at least which version of aahk you used? already found in the web PD98IMG-GB2 and i am willing to do the proccess... already red many forums about rooting my desire hd. but since you did that proccess already i think you can give some reliable tips even if this topic is unsupported here. i know that discussing about aahk is unwelcome in the xda forum and i am sorry for this but i think you would agree that its the way with the most chances of success. or anyway could you suggest me any another way to follow?
thank you for yoour time

Unlocking the bootloader will allow you to flash any recovery that is for the device (DHD / Inspire 4G), Custom roms built from source (CM) and modified sense roms work great. Ported roms I am not sure, but you can try it out. In the worst case scenario, you might get stuck in the splash screen and you will have to flash a different one.

No, Hack Kit is no longer supported anywhere. If you are willing to do it, you are on your own and will have to find information about it somehwere else. There are other ways to root or S-OFF the device that are supported here. So, please let the Hack Kit rest in peace.

You don't need S-OFF to root. You can just run this and you will be just fine. You don't have to be a programmer to root your phone, just do a little reading and searching will suffice.

[Q] I have a few questions. Hope someone can help?

Hello there,
I am new to modding android devices so i just have a few questions to ask about my HTC Desire HD and installing (flashing?) the JellyTime (ROM?) software onto my phone.
I've read through lots of posts but there quite a bit of terminology that gets flung around which im not understanding but i think i know what i have to do.
But my main question are, since I'm running Android 2.3.5 Sense 3.0 rooting my phone has become quite hard for me as every program i look at says I need to downgrade. I read [How to] ROOT without the Hack Kit and I'm guessing "IF YOUR BUILD VERSION IS NOT SUPPORTED TO UPDATE THEN:" applys to me.
But when i go to this post i have no idea whats going on or what a gold card is or what its supposed to do.
So as im a complete noob and i have sort of tried on my own i was hoping if anyone could lead me through what im meant to do to get my Stock DHD to the stage where its running JellyTime android 4.2.2?
I also found a download for AAHK which has been removed by its developer as far as i know and i dont know what XDA's rules are if i was to repost the download link. The problem with the AAHK is that its requires a downgrade of my phone and when it tries to do that it needs to download a RUU(???) which was hosted on the developers site which is now removed and it returns errors for the RUU

What does make you think that your build is not supported? The hack kit is retired and unsupported, are you going to repost and support a tool that might leave you with a brick? Even you have all the files needed by the kit to work?
I suggest that you do some more research before doing anything to your device. Read the guide in my signature and visit the Ace Think Tank thread.

Because the program in your root guide said that my software version is not supported, I have skimmed through the guide and I will read it properly on the weekend.
Why would it brick my device it has worked on all the device that used to use it? as I have read it used the be the go to tool for root and S-OFF. I thought the developer just didn't like the scene anymore are removed all his work i thought i still worked but the downloads where hard to find.
Could you please tell me if i can run JellyTime on my device?
Also reading your guide i didnt understand the information about rooting where you talked about S-OFF wont be needed to run CWM recovery as i read somewhere that CWM recovery needed to have S-OFF to work.
Thanks for your help.

It hasn't worked on all the devices. It was the go-to tool for S-Off, but read back through the forums; many people (usually those who did not read well) have run into problems and needed support. And if you post it for others in a responsible manner, you need to support that possibility.

Also reading your guide i didnt understand the information about rooting where you talked about S-OFF wont be needed to run CWM recovery as i read somewhere that CWM recovery needed to have S-OFF to work.

You don't need S-Off to install a custom recovery.

What does make you think that your build is not supported? The hack kit is retired and unsupported, are you going to repost and support a tool that might leave you with a brick? Even you have all the files needed by the kit to work?
I suggest that you do some more research before doing anything to your device. Read the guide in my signature and visit the Ace Think Tank thread.

My phone says my build(ROM) version is 3.12 but the hboot program says its 3.13
the root kit wants me to update but the ROM updaters says updating from 3.13 to 3.13 but the phone still says 3.12 ????
__________________
I ran the ROM updater outside of the ace root kit. Now it realises that the ROM is still 3.12... But not when i try to update the ROM it returns error 191????
Thanks for the help

I used the HTCDev procedure to unlock the bootloader (updating my hboot to the .29 version going from the .27 version), I then installed CWM. From there I flashed a CM10 ROM selecting the zip from the SDcard in recovery, then the last step was running the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" after extracting the boot.img file from the ROM file.
I have no real use for root or anything, I just wanted jellybean, and it's well worth it.

Install download oneclick root and your problem will be solved.

I'm currently running 2.00.0029? But at the top it says *** LOCKED (OOW) *** ??
Do i not need an unlocked bootloader to get jellybean on my phone?

What defines a unlocked boot loader? how do I find out. I'm currently running 2.00.0029? But at the top it says *** LOCKED (OOW) *** ??
If this is an unlocked bootloader can you walk me through getting jellybean on my phone?
This would be awesome! thanks a bunch.

Read the Ace Think Tank linked in my signature. You are not unlocked, but you can use the Tank-linked Easy Ace Root Tool to do so. As for a tutorial on flashing custom ROMs, the Think Tank has links for that too; no need for a separate walkthrough reinventing the wheel.

nothing works....

Hi yeah as talked about above and in another post i have use the easy ace root tool but it requires me to upgrade my hboot and/or software. I'm running software 3.12.405.1 but I need to be running 3.13.000 apparently. It automatically downloads HTCDev's RUU but every time i run it it gives me the error 191 ROM not supported.
I have tried all variants of the RUU from the HTCDev website for my phone even for the wrong carries all give the same error.
I read somewhere that i may need a Goldcard since i carried out an OTA update on my phone and its tied to an orange (ee) contract?
However the goldcard generating website is now offline due to hackers and they said they are shutting down and the only person i could find who said they could generate goldcards (geene pool) isnt responding to my PM.
so I'm all out of luck.

Ah. Then yes, you are just out of luck. I know that there's a way to generate a goldcard yourself instead of having Gene Poole do it (I believe by using a specific ActivePerl version, a specific Crypt SSLeay module, and the goldcard generating script) but I haven't had the inclination to do it myself. If you really want it you could give that a shot.
