hi
I tried to root a HTC Desire HD device
1. Unlocked via HTCdev
2. Installed custom recovery - clockworkmod 5.8.1.5
3. Tried to flash miui 6.1
now the device is stuck on boot ( htc logo)
I tried all the RUU files i could get, nothing works, error 191, 140,155
I created a gold card.
When i insert the empty gold card and reboot the phone, it remains stuck on SD checking
Loading PD98DIAG.zip
any ideas
i managed to get the goldcard working.
Still can't flash, some message about version is older.
Tried different roms.
The RUU exe still throws 191 error.
any ideas
Have you tried running the RUU when the device is in fastboot mode? That worked for me once when I thought I'd bricked it.
tried that.
error 191.
i need something newer that 3.13.0.0 i think
I'm starting to sound like a broken record. If you used the HTC unlock method you have to flash your boot img separately.
After flashing room boot into boot loader select fast boot and flash your roms boot.img

Lol.... maybe you ought to keep a copy paste of the answer handy so you don't need to type the same thing over and over again
Sent from a dream.
found the solution.
reboot to fastboot.
unzip the PD98IMG.zip copy the boot.img and system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot
after the phone reboots stock 2.3.5 will be on, 3.12.405.1.
Managed to gain root with some zip installed with clockworkmod.
Now i can't find a solution to s-off.

noxaro, if you wanted to gain S-OFF and root, you should have run the Hack Kit...HTCDEV is not a good idea....maybe a little more research would have leaded you here:

It won't work if u are running GB and downgrade to Froyo...That will mess your bootloader...just don't downgrade to froyo by any means!! Hack Kit works for all builds and version, just have to downgrade first in some cases...

First of all 2.50.405.2 is GB an not Froyo so no problem there I guess.

That doesn't sound like works on all builds and versions.
It does not work on the mentioned version 3.12.405.1
I have the same situation. But within a couple of months my phone contract will end and I will extend this with a new phone. At that moment I will try to install some custom ROMS on my Desire HD. So first downgrade to 2.50.405.2, get root and S-Off (which I by the way already have (Ship S-off to be precise))
And than install ClockWorkMod and install custom rom.
I tried to install CWM from fastboot but did not manage to successfully complete this. I think because I have Ship S-Off and not ENG S-Off.

AAHK has supported 3.12.40.5.1 since version AAHK 10122011, It does not and will not support HTC dev unlocked devices. Although version 3.12.40.5.1 does need downgrading, this step is carried out by AAHK. AAHK is by far the safest and easiest method of obtaining root IMHO.

umm...it seems that u need to give a look at the manual again. All builds 3.x are not directly rootable, so you need to downgrade. The Hack Kit prompts you about that, and do it in case you are willing to.
Just one tip, if you install ENG S-OFF you will mess your bootloader...so, I would check the manual and the hack kit thread just see what you not supposed to do..

Yes it does, but a downgrade is needed first. The hack kit automates it all as much as possible, even the initial downgrade.
The bootloader MUST be relocked and the the ROM stock.

Just relock the bootloader with a stock rom/recovery installed and the hack kit will work fine.
Many thanks for this !!! I have tried this and it works very well

Hello,
I tried to flash MoKee Rom yesterday, I downloaded the file from their website but on the screen it told me that there was an error because the rom wasn't for my Desire HD. Tried downloading twice and flash it again and same error appears. So I tried to install Cyanogenmod 11. Everything seems to be ok but when I reboot the phone it doesen't move from the white screen with HTC written on it. What can I do? I did everythime all the wipes needed (cache, dalvick, system). I've unlocked the bootloader with Windroid Tool and installed TWRP recovery with it.
I can get into fastboot and recovery mode. When I get into fastboot I have the following details:
ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.00.0029
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.14.04.28_M
eMMC-BOOT

Only benefit is that you can unlock it, and are then able to fastbot flash recoveries and boot images.

I'm so thankful that cmlusco had these simple words listed here. I was trying without success to flash a recovery via hboot.92 to no avail. I am s-off and rooted running tinys cm10.1. The problem started when i wanted to use twrp as a recovery. I tried installing that in android itself with goomanager. It said it was successful so tried to reboot into recovery. no dice. it now doesn't even have cwm recovery which was what i was trying to replace. it just goes back into hboot. so i thought, "ok, i'll just adb it" again either with shell in android or via fastboot in hboot it says remote failed. this one line he just wrote tells me that despite everything i have, i cannot install via hboot. The only thing that works is having a pb31img file to install it. the problem is, most recoveries come in .img. so I thought i could just repackage it as a zip and use the txt from another twrp i had previously gotten to work by way of a pb31img and create my own new pb31img with the newest version (the old one i had was already made by someone else and installs flawlessly). basically now i'm curious if i should just ask how to make the newest twrp into a proper pb31img file to flash (since i know this works) or is there an easy way to upgrade hboot.092 to 1.07? Any help on either of these or both subjects would be greatly appreciated. Just for the record cmlusco, am i right in thinking the reason i can't fastboot flash my recovery is because my loader is locked somehow despite being rooted and s-off? will upgrading to hboot 1.07 enable all of what i want to do? Also, what's the best way to go about doing this? I have everything i need backed up so no worries there. Thanks in advance to any and all help!

You don't even need to go through all that trouble. Just use the PB31IMG.zip here:

It's also in the TWRP thread on one of the last few pages, TWRP 2.4.1.0.

Correct you can not fastboot flash unless your bootloader is unlocked. Since your s-off you can update the bootloader by flashing this file http://dinc.does-it.net/Hboots/Hboot_1.07/PB31IMG.zip, thru hboot. Once updated, you can unlock it and then flash img files with fastboot.
However, here is the TWRP 2.4.1.0 PB31IMG.zip http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/TWRP_2.4.1.0/PB31IMG.zip, if you dont want to update the bootloader. You may need to flash it two or three times to get it to take.

Thanks to you and tiny for such a quick and simple response. pb31img used and updated perfectly! Just curious, cmlusco, in your signature i noticed you on hboot 1.07 but it's locked. Any particular reason for having it locked? I have yet to update mine but i did download and organize the pb31 hboot img you gave me for possible future use ( if i feel the need). Other than the aformentioned advantage of flashing hboot via fasboot and adb, is there any other advantage of hboot 1.07? Thanks again guys, you make my life easier.

Not really, S-OFF should get you what you need. You only miss the ability to flash via fastboot without an unlocked HBOOT. PB31IMG.zip works fine with S-OFF.

I have never had the need to unlock it yet, but like having the ability if needed.
I have a Incredible 1 ( s-off )
I have to restore to stock
for in warranty return.
I used unrevoked3
to s-off.
I have a GB RUU zip.
can I flash that to restore
the phone to how it was?
I need to set the s-off
back to s-on though?
Wont the RUU replace
my recovery with the stock one?
Do I use fastboot to change the flag?
Do I reflash the custom recovery
to flash the s-on.zip?

First you need to flash the froyo radio thru hboot, and then a custom recovery if you already went to stock. Then flash the s-on patch thru recobery, then do the latest ruu thru hboot. That will leave you s-on and fully stock.
can you give me a url for a radio only hboot type zip?
the phone is running ics plus and is s-off.
the hboot & radio is ics the rom is ICS+,
recovery is CWM.
a lot of the very old radios and other custom things were on
mediafire and unreachable. The referenced threads return
404 errors.
I should then hboot flash that, then fastboot flash cwm to recovery
flash the s-on.zip, then flash the s-on zip.then flash the final full
ruu zip in hboot to reset to a stock version that VZW wont give
me headaches over..the last official ICS ruu zip should be fine.
I'm guessing if I can find an RUU zip for ICS, that flashing the
s-on.zip in recovery, then flashing the ICS RUU zip (PB31IMG.zip)
in hboot, should leave the phone s-on, locked, stock ICS everything,
which VZW should be happy with since the RMA issue is hardware
related.
I don't know where to find that (ICS RUU zip) either though
thanks

There is no official ics for the incredible only gingerbread. We never got an update to ics.
OK so I need a GB RUU zip?
My intent is to restore the phone for warranty return.
Currently its s-off, locked, ICS Plus ROM, CWM recovery.
I do have the unrevoked-forever-s-on.zip file and a
PB31IMG.zip RUU file (not sure what version of
the OS its for though).,
A listing of it is attached.
its android-info.txt reads:

Looks like froyo. Here is exactly what you need to do.
Flash the froyo radio http://dinc.does-it.net/Radios/2.15.00.07.28/PB31IMG.zip, thru hboot.
Then flash cwm http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/CWM_5.0.2.0/PB31IMG.zip, thru hboot.
Then enter recovery and flash this s-on patch http://downloads.unrevoked.com/forever/current/unrevoked-forever-son.zip.
Then flash the latest ruu we have 4.08.605.15 http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/4.08.605.15/PB31IMG.zip, thru hboot.
Then you will be s-on, unrooted, and complete stock.

No there is no ruu for 605.19 yet. Use to be a guy named football who use to get us all of our ruu's, but i think he moved on or can no longer get them.
You can try taking this update file http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Image...WE_4.08.605.19-4.08.605.15_release_305224.zip, renaming it update.zip and placing it in your sdcard in no folders. Then boot to hboot, it might find the file and say update gift and install it.
If it dosent find it select recovery, then hold vol up and power till a menu appears. Then select install update.zip.
If that still dosent work you may need to do a factory reset from hboot first, and then try again right after with the update.zip
OK I wanted to re-root my incredible. I can't find the unrevoked modified driver. It has been crossed out and getting 404 not found. I wanted to know if anyone knows how I can downgrade to froyo so I can s-off my incredible again. Or is there any Macintosh walkthrough? Mac is my main desktop if I use windows it would be with virtual machine.

Hello, Noobe here. I have read this forum for two months on my problem, but I guess I just don't get it. Lots of have similar issues, but I just can not figure how to put them together in my case.
Problem: HBOOT bootloader error
Goal: To install Custom ROM
Executive Summary:
1. Tried to use AHTK to root, Failed
2. Rooted with success with other toolkit (forget which one)
3. Removed HTC Bloatware, happy
4. Tried to install custom Rom (with CWM Touch installed), no problems, reboot, HTC White screen of Death
5. Recover backup, works fine
6. Notes problem with Hboot (which might be blocking any new ROM)
7. Ask Nice people to help Noobe.
Background Info:
HTC DESIRE HD (UK version)
***UNLOCKED***
ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.00.0029
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.14.04.28_M
eMMC-boot
Dec 22 2011,14:28:19
Actual Problem
The Hboot tries to
((From My memory (it is really fast on the screen))
"Check the SD
Searching for PD98DIAG.zip
No image Found!!
Searching for PD98DIAG.nhh
No Image Found!!
Searching for Pxxxx.zip
Wrong Image!!"
......"
I am pretty sure this is the leftover script from the AHTK failure to update the radio and S-OFF
This is does not effect the normal booting of the stock Rom
Questions:
1. How do I reset the HBOOT to remove this script? (if needed)
2. Is this the reason I get the white screen of death?
3. Once fixed, can I just use CWM to install a new rom(using one of the many guides on this site)
or do think I need to S-OFF/update the Radio as well?
Thank You so much for all your help.

1. AAHK is retired, and the server hosting the the files it downloads is pulled, so of course it won't work.
2. You unlocked the bootloader, so you need to fastboot flash each ROM's boot.img each time you flash a ROM. Otherwise you get the HTC screen infinitely.
3. Delete the zip file in the root of your SD card. It's not a script. It has nothing to do with the boot problem.
4. You don't need to update your radio, but each time you flash a ROM you need to flash from recovery, then fastboot flash boot boot.img from your computer. Instructions are in the PDF in post #7 in the thread linked in my signature.
Solved

Okay, only one additional question. How do I backup the current HTC boot img? Just in case, I want my old backup to work again? Is it needed?

G'day Guys,
I am trying to root my desire HD. currently 2.3.5
I initially followed the HTCDEV method
For my phone which downloaded the RUU program. PD9810000_Ace_Sense30_S_hboot_2.00.0029.exe
this is for Desire HD Vodaphone australia.
I ran the RUU successfully once. It supposedly upgraded the image from 2.12.178.2 to 3.13.0.0
apon rebooting into the fastboot screen as per the HTCDEV instructions when attempting to fastboot I recieved errors saying
"no image or wrong image" or something to that effect.
at this point I went back to the drawing board and tried the HOW TO ROOT WITHOUT HACK KIT thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2168500) method and script for unlocking the bootloader. which downloaded the same RUU program
apon running it this time it still wished to updrade from 2.12.178.2 to 3.13.0.0 and i recieved the error
ERROR [191]: Rom is not supported
I have searched several threads with this error however none of them seemed to have a solution ie.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2264987
I cannot locate and temporary ROM zips as per this thread below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21231962
EDIT Just found and am re-naming the rom zip as PD98IMG.zip then copying it to sd card root folder.
will update thread with result. apologies again
Appologies for the first thread question and its length.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks and Regards
Ben
So I renamed the rom.zip file copied it to the root folder of the SD card.
booted into fast boot. updated
it said "parsing bootloader complete"
however the phone still appears to be 3.12.178.2 ...
the next step
step 8
htcdev[dotcom]/bootloader/unlock-instructions/page-3

The top part, the one where you say RUU, that's not a RUU, that just simply updates the HBOOT.
You need to follow this guide.

thanks, yeah i was following that guide.
part of that guide is the "unlock bootloader" portion. I believed thats what the RUU was doing... as those were the steps i was doing.
I was trying to unlock to bootloader. which the guide states you need to do IOT continue on to the ROM steps in the guide you linked.
has anyone had success unlocking the bootloader or any ideas for my issue
thanks for the response. makes sure im on the right path,
Cheers

Use a goldcard to flash a ruu that supports hboot update. That will allow you to unlock the bootloader.

Ok im ready to do this. got my CID... however it appears the Revskills goldcard generator is down and has been for a while
does anyone know of a current goldcard generator that is working.
EDIT:
ok its Alice down the rabbit hole at the moment.
I think I have created a gold card using this tool ... that you posted lol
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2288012
there are allot of threads asking for goldcards so hopefully this helps someone.
now i just have to work out how to ... Use a goldcard to flash a ruu that supports hboot update. That will allow you to unlock the bootloader. lol
apologies for the n00bage.
now I have a gold card. just trying to work out the next step to find a RUU that will support hboot update on htcdev
can anyone point me to an appropriate RUU? Glevitan perhaps?
thanks all for the help so far its been great
FYI I completed step 1 from this site http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f66...-os-s-off-change-imei-cid-hxc-dongle-1548982/
1.root ur phone :for root u mus unlock boot loader with htcdev/bootloader
hboot 2.00.0029 support token key for unlock bl 2.00.0027 stok not support
u must update hboot to 2.00.0029:
download this rom copy to your c:\ drive so download this dhd update hboot by behtash.rar
and run hboot update by behtash.bat in normal mode ,waiting until flash hboot complete
ok u can now unlock bl with htcdev.com\bootloader
however it would not unlock on htcdev it just sat there saying [waiting for device]
I think my fastboot program may be the issue due to it being the same 69k version that this chap had an issue with

Find what build version and main you are running by using the command in fastboot USB:
fastboot getvar all
Delete the IMEI and paste the outcome

I was being a numpty and didnt have sdk installed. I have to crash tonight but will install it tomorrow. then try htcdev again,
if it dosent work i will do as suggested. if its something that simple I will feel a bit stupid. will keep you guys updated.
thanks again all for your help
Ok I have unlocked bootloader. I was being a bit of a numpty and not doing the "get identifier token" command whilst the phone was actually on fastboot... the htcdev instructions confused me.
I will keep this post open as I know i will have more problems as I go.
Thanks all for your help so far
do i have to
3. Download rooted stock rom: http://www.multiupload.nl/20T9R21IGY
(link to rom thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...t=rooted+stock )
copy the ROM zip file to your SD card.
as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2221039
or can I go straight to download a newer rom. a 4.2 or something and continue on the process
Ok, where I am at.
I have flashed the stock rooted rom as per the guide.
it works fine and has root access.
I didnt go through the process for S-OFF from step 6 onwards as I got a little lost what i needed to do as I had already done some of the goldcard steps. either way.
I am currently unlocked and rooted. with 2.3.5 stock rooted rom.
I tried to install a cryogenmod rom and jellytime rom.
as per this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1866122
I installed them from the cwm recovery then tried to "flashboot flash boot boot.img" with their respective boot.img.
both roms didnt progress past the htc boot screen they just black screened.
can anyone hint why these roms wouldnt load? is it an s-on issue? or am i lost with the boot.img or missing another step?
i have reloaded the stock rooted image using cwm and flashboot flash boot boot.img
Thanks all
Ben
The command is "fastboot," not flashboot." Are there any errors when you run it?

Ah appologies I am blind today.
No error msgs. Boot.IMG is coppied over as it is when I do it with the rooted stock Rom.
Just when rebooting afterwards. The phone does its .HTC flash screen for like 30 secs then it goes to a black screen (phone on) indefinitely.
The process I am using is
1 zip Rom on sdcard.
2 cwm delete user data
3 cwm install zip image from sdcard which works
4 reboot
5 fastboot USB
6 from pc: fastboot flash boot boot.IMG (extracted from Rom zip)
Am I doing anything incorrectly or missing a step.
Rooted, unlocked bootloader s-on
Thanks all
Is the phone in fastboot? What ROM? What recovery version?

The phone was in fastboot USB
The working Rom is the one listed shoved from the full root sticky..3.12.405.1 rooted by nitr00
The 2 Roms that failed were jellytime and cryogen. Either the current or most recent stable apparently
Recovery is cwm. It's a slightly older version I think though. It was the only one I could find at the time.
Maybe 2. Something. I'll reboot now and check. Could that be an issue?
Bootloader unlocked
Hboot 2.00.0029
Radio 26.14.04.28m
Cwm recovery v 2.5.1.2
Yay just tried with the latest version of CWM and it works... FFS why wouldnt I have used the current version.
anyway I am playing with 4.2.2 jelly time now.
Thanks so much every contributor. your replies helped me keep going.
