[Q] HTCDev Unlock

Hi guys...
I am losing it here....pulling my hair out...
I have rooted and flashed roms on a Gnex and a HTC Incredible S and I have never encountered so many dam problems doing so...
The DHD is a pain in the rear. I have GB 2.3.5 and I tell you what...GRRRR haha
I gave in and went with the HTCDEV (Official Method) and I'd like someone to tell me what the F*&K that actually does....I thought it unlocked your bootloader....nope...
Theres a big UNLOCKED in the HBOOT but it means jack... I can flash recovery, then I try and flash CM7 for example and the thing wont boot...WTF??? So do i still need to go S-OFF anyway?? IF so, HTC WTF??? Whats the point in this stupid "unlocking" crap....so annoying... If anyone could help me understand this I would be much. much appreciative...
Thanks in advance...

you have to get ENG S-OFF before you can flash custom ROMs. Relock your bootloader and use AAHK (search it on Google, attn1 removed it from xda) to get super cid (SIM Unlock), root, CWM & ENG S-OFF

You don't need eng S-OFF to flash ROMs, S-OFF is OK. you need to flash the boot.IMG for the ROM separately when flashing ROMs on a HTC dev unlocked device. That's why I doesn't boot after flashing a new ROM. Relock it and use the advanced ace hack kit.

Thanks guys....
*sigh*.... I've been on this now for like 30hrs straight... I actually have root an everything and it still wont s-off.... I'm trying to downgrade now and that wont work either....goldcard and everything... I've looked for the Hack Kit too... I must be looking in the wrong places... I cant find it or I'm just too annoyed to see straight...haha
Just want to say i really appreciate your answers guys...
Sorry, I wouldnt normally ask but I'm just spaced...can anyone point me in the direction of the kit...probably not as its a little sensitive I know...just putting it out there...
Thanks again guys... I feel sort of lost now...like wtf ya know... haha
Cheers.
EDIT:
I did find something and it looks pretty bad...haha (Slow your bootloader??? jam you up?? I dont like the sound of that...haha)
Do NOT attempt to install earlier ENG HBOOTs on these models. AAHK now has Hboots that safely support fastboot image flashing.
Doing this WILL severely degrade bootloader performance on Inspires and DHDs and causes issues trying to install RUUs. In other words, it WILL jam you up. (Note: Issue confirmed on later DHDs – ignore at your own risk).
Sense 3, including those with RELOCKED HTC BOOTLOADERS (NOTE: NOT UNLOCKED – MUST BE LOCKED OR RELOCKED) is auto-detected in hack step. Option is given to download a GB RUU and downgrade or abort. This WILL wipe data.

6 days ago I decided to unlock my phone with HTC dev and I tell you what, that is useless! Fortunately I found a guide that save my life! Firts relock the phone then you have to downgrade with AAHK and finally always with AAHK you can unlock the phone and root it. That's what I've done, that was my first time so I apologize with you if I wrote something that you already know! Sorry for bad English!

QUestion. How do you relock your phone after HTCDev unlock? I love to know because I too ave spent too many hours working on this dam phone...
Anyway a work around for this is to find the rom.img of the rom you want to put on your phone and put it in your pc file where you have fastboot. Then flash the new ROM onto your phone normally. Then go into bootloader, fast boot and make sure you have fastboot usb set up. Then you neeed to open the cmd window and navigate to the folder with fastboot in it anf type in fastboot flash boot boot.img . Once this is done reboot the phone and your new custom rom will work fine.
However if someone can tell me hoe to rook and then use aahk I would prefer o use that and go o s-off....

HTCdev has instructions on relocking the boot loader. Basically the same step where you types 'fastboot oem bootloader unlock' or something like that, replace unlock with lock and it will lock it. If you want to use AAHK to get S-off, I suggest you run an RUU and get your phone to complete factory state before doing it. I don't know if it'll work by relocking an unlocked bootloader, so RUU seems to be the safest method (recommended by AAHK).

Help in solving bootloader issue

Please I have a peculiar problem, I pray you can assist me. I tried to root my telus dhd using advanced hack kit, after running the hack kit the phone failed to reboot. It stock at a blank bLack screen. To solve that, I mistakenly flash a froyo pd98img on a GB ROM. Since then, the phone takes about 20 to 30 minutes to boot. It will start with a splash screen and vibrate for about 10 minutes then takes another 10 minutes to boot. The problem is I can't enter boot loader and I can't use the hack kit again to return to stock since the phone won't reboot in the process.
I will appreciate any help. Thanks for your time.

And why exactly can't you enter the bootloader? Remove and re-insert your battery, Press Vol Down and Power button to boot into the bootloader.
Can you post the text that appears on the bootloader? Is your phone S-OFF yet?

Sounds like a messed bootloader. Go to the Ace Think Tank thread linked in my signature. Find the PDF in post #7. In that, read about the messed bootloader fix.

Yes, it's messed up bootloader. Yesterday on #ahksupport, @attn1 gave an adb command, which after typing it, The phone booted to a black screen with HTC on it. Then he gave me a link to a file which he ask me to paste in cmd window. But unfortunately he changed his mind due my inability to respond swiftly to his question.
I have found the PDF, will give it a try. Thanks
Update: This is the file uploaded to by @attn1 yesterday. I believe it's an extracted and unlocked bootloader. The only problem is that I don't know how to flash it. If anyone can assist me.

Just make sure you read properly how to do it before proceeding. Read the guide bananagranola gave you and follow the instructions. We can help with almost anything but conquering your fear. Unless you want glevitan to connect to your computer via teamviewer and have him press 'next'.

Ok, this is what you have to do. I sent you the pastebin link in the IRC channel yesterday but afterwards attn1 told me that that solution would not work in your case. You need to flash that HBOOT in this way:
Code:
adb reboot oem-78
wget https://dl.dropbox.com/u/13152450/ace/PD9812000_Ace_Gingerbread_S_hboot_0.85.0024.zip --no-check-certificate
fastboot flash zip PD9812000_Ace_Gingerbread_S_hboot_0.85.0024.zip
The code will also download the hboot....BE PATIENT IT WILL TAKE TIME TO FLASH...RELAX AND ENJOY

that is normal as you don´t have a RUU in your phone. Does it still take long time to boot in hboot? from there you should be able to flash a RUU as that hboot supports multiple CIDs

I don't think it worked as he is still showing the .007 boot which is froyo.
Question why wouldn't your guide work in this case? Is it because of it being the nam version(pd12000 vs pd10000)? Hboot versions not interchangeable?or something else that as mentioned in the irc

to be strictly plain I am not quite sure..but Attn1 told me that the fix in the guide will only work with just one RUU build 1.32.xxx can't remember now. So he has to flash a new hboot that will allow multiple CIDs...

Just one question...when you flashed the hboot did you get the OKAY.finished in the command prompt? Your is still at slow motion for booting??
If the answers to the question are: Yes. No...then you can flash an unbranded RUU and it should work. :good:

[Q] Problems with installing blackout ics ROM Desire HD

So I decided to root my android desire hd phone and avail the benefits of blackout ics rom on my phone.
This is how I approached.
I unlocked the bootloader from HTC Dev.
I have the adb with me, adb devices, adb restart bootloader are working absolutely fine and cell phone was detectable.
I downloaded the aahk and blackout rom from xda forums.
But I am not able to use the aahk properly. It says in instruction to do a fastboot flash boot boot.img from command prompt with the source being the place where aahk is placed on the PC. But it still doesn't work, and probably this is the root cause of the issues I am facing.
I tried downloading the CWM to boot into recovery, but that also gave me an error stating cannot find the adbwinapi.dll file.
So after that, I did a factory reset of my cellphone and truly I got my first success and I was able to get into the bootloader and recovery.
I can reach to the bootloader screen (white screen+3 andro dummies), but when I select the fastboot option It says cannot find image(which image, is it referring to boot.img). I deleted the cache on my cell phone, but again things are pending from here on.
The description on this screen says S-ON and some other things. Does that mean the security is still on?
I have the rom loaded on the sd card with renamed to update.zip, but when I select update option from the recovery it again says cannot find image, rebooting!(what image this is referring to).
And after all this sequence I am down with a cellphone now degraded to froyo from ginger bread and back to stone age!
Please advise.

You have not done anything fine...anything at all. My advice is that you'd better start reading hard buddy or you will end up with a 300 bucks paperweight.
Use the guide in my signature to start.
Tip 1:If you really downgrade to froyo and you were running gingerbread, you might have messed the bootloader..can you boot in hboot in normal times or takes ages?
Tip 2:The Hack Kit can not be run with an unlocked bootloader...that is what the manual says. The manual is there just to avoid this.
If your bootloader is still unlocked, then you have to install CWM recovery, put the rom in the sdcard (no rename is necessary) and then flash the boot.img from where that file is located (I usually put in the PC desktop) and not from the Hack Kit folder.
Then, from CWM flash the rom normally and you will be up and running.
Unlocking the bootloader will not give you S-OFF....

I had this tutorial open side by side in your signature while I was doing it. (the noob one)
I can go into Hboot normal times.
I am writing it down here from the main website from where I downloaded the aahk. And it says
Unlock the bootloader using the HTC DEV bootloader unlock process.
Download att-ace-30-isboot.zip and unzip it (don’t forget to check MD5)
fastboot flash boot boot.img
relock bootloader
But just now you told me that it should not be run on an unlocked bootloader! I am a little confused.

the phone is now stuck at signature verification. I reasearched for it but could not find a viable solution or an exploit that can overcome it(though everyone seems to be suggesting to install CWM recovery)
Not taking any chances to convert my phone into a brick! Whats the best way.

I am following the steps sequentially as mentioned in that link by sashank. The bootloader is partially unlocked due to the HTCDEV process.
Couple of other things that I noticed. The android version is still at 2.3.5 however the device was shipped with Froyo. My mistake to have said that it is downgraded to froyo when I did the factory reset.
The facebook for HTC Sense thing is jacked up big time, I cannot find that in peoples app.
The device has (believe me) gained speed. pretty strange.
Once I reach home 3 hours from now, i'll update this thread and we can connect through Teamviewer so that you can have a look.hope thats cool!

It says fail code 99 not allowed
or
fail check unlock_code.bin
As you can see, I flashed hboot....
But seems as if I did something wrong...

Thanks for the quick answer, finally I made it by myself, I got a new unlock token at HTCdev.com, wich was oofline for 2 days...???
then I had to wait for my hox to get charged, don't know why, but it didn't charge over night... and finally I had enough battery to flash so now I just unlocked it now I'll see what happens...XD
Thx for all, you XDA guys are the greatest!

Being new does not excuse you from using the search engine. That is part of what you agreed when you signed to XDA.
From today, the only way to root the device is to unlock the bootloader with HTCDEV and then flash CWM and SU. Hack Kit was retired 10 minutes ago.

I also tried to free my Desire HD with 2.3.5 last minute, but came too late.
Every thing sat up fine but downgrade ruu download failed naturally.
Can I also use UMT to simplify the process?

Can you give us more detail glevitan on the other method?
I've been trying to get the acekit to work by trying to source a PD98IMG-GB2 ROM but I am hitting a brick wall. I can't seem find the downgrade file anywhere.
Thanks

Look in his signature. There's a guide linked.

If I use HTC Dev/HTC Easy Unlock Tool to unlock (set S-OFF)...
Can I then follow the steps describes under 14 d) S-OFF no custom recovery?
Can I then flash an ROM out of CWM or do I need to get root first?
Sorry if I'm a bit stubborn.

I think this hits my request, but leaves me with an half locked bootloader, so I have to flash boot.img each time I flash an custom ROM. Meh.
Is that correct?

You can't get S-Off with HTCDEV. You can only unlock the bootloader. Then, you still need to flash a recovery. You don't need to root if you're installing a custom ROM from recovery. You will need to fastboot flash a boot.img if you flash a custom ROM.

more a self-note:

I think that will do it for me. But I would do a nandroid backup in recovery, then flash the boot.img and then install the rom.zip.
Is it possible to directly flash CWM with touch?

If u bought it before that guy said it retired 10 mins ago use AAHK
click thankx

AAHK was never sold. It was free and freely supported until it was retired this morning.

Yes. Download the image file from www.clockworkmod.com and flash it in fastboot

When did you do this? AAHK is retired and therefore no longer supported as of this morning. What happened? What state was your phone in before you started? What did you do? What did AAHK say? What does the bootloader say now? How long does it take to get into the bootloader?

You were supposed to run it twice, once to downgrade and once to S-Off, not try to flash a ROM after just the downgrade...anyway. If your phone still works find just unlock the bootloader, since AAHK is retired.

I'm a new man of xda. I come here to look for the best newest ROM.

Everyone has different needs and every phone has its quirks. Just try them out for yourself.

Then I recommend that before hijacking someonelse's thread, you read and follow the rules. There is no best rom...if you want to find out, flash them all and get you conclusions.
