Have you tried re running the Hack Kit from the white screen? I guess that you still have the goldcard in your cell....
For your information, it is always best to try to revert to stock first with S-OFF and then to revert to S-ON, just in case. I guess that now you realised that...

i try to run the hack kit but it comes up with error, i think its because the phone doesnt have debugging switched on with no way of turning it on

Factory reset was a mistake...you deleted usb debugging drivers that way. Ok, now I am in teamviewer with other fellow, but if you hold, I can lend you a hand.

that would be great

maybe reading a bit more. Factory reseting the phone was an idiotic thing to do when you are advised not to....now you don't have usb debugging drivers and therefore can not re run the hack kit. Now you need to flash a ruu...
Are you already S-OFF?

[Q] How to do S-On with not working touchscreen

Hi
I would like to know is it possible to do S-On and unroot Desire HD with not responding touchscreen? Without it i can't turn on USB Debugging to run Jokljo's tool (Easy Radio Tool v2.2) to go back to S-on. First time was unsuccesfull. I still have S-Off, SuperCid. Only ClockworkMod has been removed. Even original recovery hasn't restored. When I go there only an orange triangle with exclamation mark appears.
I have to go back to stock to give guarantee for.
I returned to stock Rom with CWM-nandroid restore. Before that I was trying other Roms but touchscreen still was dead. I think it is hardware issue. I don't know why. It occured after reboot because I had problem with GSM Network which turned alternately off and on.
Can anyone help?
Run a stock HTC RUU and it will restore everything except Radio S-OFF, (I wouldn't worry about that)

ohh dear... display r.i.p......
the only one thing that happens to me its go to recovery and go with te buttons to "mounts and storage" enable the "usb mount" option... copy and paste from your pc an official rom without root (look at for it in XDA files)...
when you flashes an official rom you loose the root access (sure)
for to go back to s-on you need the display... But with luck in the technical service they will not realize

But I don't have recovery at all. Easy radio tool removed Clockworkmod Recovery and didn't restore original. I have no recovery. That is the problem. Plus dead touchscreen...
I thought that is possible to revert to stock with adb shell. Somehow...
Download a RUU (ROM Update Utility) and run it from your PC, easy. You only need to plug in your phone and switch it on.

for use an adb shell you must to have a CWM rec. or put your device in usb debugging.
if there´s not another mode you can´t use android sdk
Ok I'will try ROM Update Utility. Many Thanks for now.

the only thing that you can´t do WITHOUT working touch screen is S-ON.
now if you have unrooted and putted an official ruu i think that its sufficient for send the device to the thecnical service....

And I didn't try PD98IMG.zip. Only I've done It was downloading RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.6 and install/flash under Windows.
EDIT:
PD98IMG.zip won't run by adb without USB Debugging On. I don't know another way to do that

Should I try newest Rom? I.e RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.72.405.3? What do U think?
There's nothing you can do about it now, since you need root for S-ON, and only way you can do it currently is with visionary tool(there's no way to gain root via your computer ATM, and probably it won't be developed), and you need your touchscreen for that... Install the RUU which your phone came with when you bought it, send it to tech service, and pray that they won't look/ignore that it's S-OFF...

[Q] Dowgrade and root HTC Desire HD

Hello!
I've a HTC Desire HD and I want to root it.
I tried several ways, first one I used the HTCdev and got an error message "(bootloader) [ERR] comand error!!!" after the command "fastboot oem get_identifier_token", I tried find a solution and discover (i think) that I have to do a downgrade of my software that is 3.13.163.3 , to 1.32..
Than I tried to downgrade throw this post "http://igyaan.in/2011/01/5431/how-to-root-htc-desire-hd-included-downgrade-from-1-72-405-3-to-1-32/" but again got an error after the command "Cowngrade>adb shell /data/local/tmp/psneuter" saying "Failed to set prot mask (Inappropriate ioctl for device)".. On this one i couldn't find a reason or a fix for it..
And at last tried the "Advanced Ace Hack Kit", done everthing in the tutorial but when I open hack-ace.exe as an ADMIN gives me, one more time, ERROR ERROR ERROR phone no plugged in or driver not installed or USB debugging not enabled. I do not know what more to do...
the softtware information of the phone are:
Android version: 2.3.5
HTC sense version: 3.0
Software number 3.13.163.3
MORE: Baseband, Kernel version, etc.
Thank you for your time and I hope you can help me

Well, look at what the error says. Is USB debugging on, is the phone in charge-only mode, are you using the original cable, is the phone plugged in, and did you install the driver with the phone unplugged?

That is a Linux bootable CD. Anyway, now it is late. The Hack Kit was retired today about 15 minutes ago, so you won't have the RUU to downgrade and you might get stuck in the middle.

The only available option now is to unlock your bootloader with HTCDEV, then flash a custom recovery and root files separately. You will not be S-Off, so you cannot flash radios and will need to fastboot flash boot.img each time you flash a new ROM. For instructions look in post #7 in the thread in my signature.

[Q] HTC Desire HD won't boot

Hi all,
I just joined this website. I got a HTC Desire HD, with Cyanogemod from this website cyanogenmod.org
Since yesterday its stuck in boot screen. The cyanogenmod booting animation keeps going forever. I got into the recovery mode once, and somewhere on another forum someone wrote that I had to click Fastboot. But now I cant get into recovery mode anymore, and my phone wont boot too.
What can I do to make my phone work again?
All help is highly appreciated!
Please provide what steps you followed before current state of phone, are you s-on or s-off, bootloader unlocked or not etc. So that it will be easy to understand the state of ur phone and helo

Are you S-OFF or have an unlocked bootloader? if you don't know that then I suggest you do some reading first. There is a guide in my signature where you will find all that stuff.
Check the hboot and see what it says...it is not the same installation for S-OFF than being unlocked

Hiho , i have a problem that my DHD wont start anymore after installing the newest update of the Jelly Time ROM.
USB Debugging is off and i cant turn it on and fastboot was allready on before i flashed it.
If i connect the device to my PC the CWM starts but i cant select wipe/factory reset by pushing the power button because the device will boot then.

Cannot access recover mode

So I've been trying to root my dads old Desire for a while now, with no success - it is locked to o2 and I'm on Orange. I didn't really want to pay to unlock it, and rooting it would have been nice. I've done two phones before, so I figured it shouldn't be too bad. Eventually I discovered it was HBOOT 1.03, and this was the problem, so the solution was to backdate the software to an earlier version (the phone is still S-ON and I cannot get this thing to take ANYTHING)
I was trying to roll back from Froyo to 2.1.
The current problem is that now the phone will not boot. With a simple turn-on it just sits at the white HTC screen, or if you go into Hboot it tries (what I assume is) 'fastboot' and checks the PB99IMG.zip file on the SD card. If I say I don't want to update and go to 'recovery' it loads the screen with the exclamation mark in a triangle in it. The problem here is that pressing up+power does nothing. I've tried a quick press, and a long hold multiple times, and with no result except the first time. Unfortunately I didn't go through the proceedure the first time, assuming it'd work again. Damn!
If I start the update it says 'can not roll back the hboot version'. It also fails on the radio_v2.
Any help will be much appreciated, and if you need any details (I've probably missed something) please ask!
Thanks

If it fails with Radio_v2, then it's a radio brick, and that's the reason it won't boot. I'm afraid you can't do much, due to the hboot version.

I'm not too worried about getting a different rom on it, or rooting it or anything any more, currently I'd like to just put it back into a working state, as it was, probably locked to o2, if you've any suggestions on how to do that?

The one step here I'm halted by is producing a Goldcard - the link to the website on the tool doesn't work any more (I've scoured t'internet, and that's the general consensus). Any idea where else I can input the CID to get a Goldcard Image?
Also how do I run the RUU on my computer? What file is it in the HTC Desire Android Upgrade folder I need to run? Afterall, there's no file titled 'RUU.exe'

Just realized that it wouldn't work, because you have to boot your phone for the downgrader tool.
You could try something else. Unlock your bootloader using the HTC Dev site :http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader, and then try installing a custom recovery.

I've unlocked the bootloader (although obviously I'm still S-ON and HBOOT 1.03), so how would I go about installing a custom recovery?
Everything I can find online implies I need to do it starting with the phone up and running...

You download this:

You extract the recovery.img from it.

That worked spot on! Have you got anything you'd recommend I put on there now? (factory reset didn't do anything, didn't really expect it to)
I tried cyangenmod7 for the desire, but with no luck. File 'BAD' or somethign when tried to read it from the SD card.

Try a MildWild ROM. Maybe the CM7 download was somehow faulty.
Can ya post the link to the thread and not just post the PB99IMG file? Thanks

You're getting good at this
So, that's on and working, but it's still locked to the carrier, o2. I've just tried 'HTC Desire unlock v0.9.5' but that didn't work (despite the program telling me it went flawlessly).
Any more suggestions?

Try using a different USB port.

Nope, nada. I tried v0.94 too. Nothing again. I guess I'll need to get a key. Damn that hboot 1.03!
At least the phone is actually WORKING now though, thanks to you, appreciated.

[Q] Stock for trading device in

So I have T-Mobile and I'm on the Jump program. Not that I'm wanting to trade right now but when I do.. do I need to be back on stock to trade it in?

I'd recommend going back to stock whenever you return a device.

That should do it for the most part.
If you unlocked the phone, you should still do these:
3. Reset the 'tamper' flag (REQUIRES S-OFF)
4. Reset the 'unlocked' flag (REQUIRES S-OFF)

It said it failed and now it's sitting at the black with gray HTC logo screen without exclamation points in the four corners.

Did you unlock your phone previously? S-Off?, Did you put on a different firmware? You are currently trying to run the RUU?

The phone is unlocked, S-On and did not change the firmware unless that can occur with different roms. Yes, trying to run the RUU app and it errors out.

No, firmware does not change with ROM flashing. And since you are S-ON, your CID should match as well with your RUU. Do you see a bar on the phone? Can you get back into bootloader or recovery?
Also helps to post the error, stops us having to guess what you're seeing
I've attached the error its giving me.
Google said incorrect RUU number.

You do know that you will need a t-mobile RUU if you have a t-mobile Phone?
