Hi Guys
As per the title I am struggling to get my dhd S-off / rooted / clockwork installed. Iv read and read and thought ok im ready so I downloaded ace hack and all my ADB drivers are installed.
So turned on phone (usb debugging enabled) run ace as admin and pushed 1.
It recognized the phone and said cannot continue must downgrade, do you want me to downgrade y/n?
So I thought well yeah so it downloaded the file and pushed it to my sd card, and then rebooted into hboot and the phone auto found the file and started loading it.
When finished flashing, it rebooted and just hung on the HTC screen. that's as far as I have got. I did see the hboot version had changed but that's all. So the only thing I could do was to Flash a RUU to get the phone working again. (Which worked)
Here is info about phone:
Android version - 2.3.5
Htc Sense Version - 3.0
Software number - 3.12.405.1
Kernel Version - 2.6.35.10-g931a37e
[email protected]#1
Wed Nov9 14:04:03 CST 2011
Baseband Version - 12.65.60.29U_26.14.04_28_M
Build Number - 3.12.405.1 CL199157
If someone can point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it.
I cant understand why these seem harder when my GS3 was very easy.
Maybe its just me :silly:
Edit forgot to say that after flashing RUU I went to htcdev and unlocked bootloader. (don't no if that's going to make a difference)
If you've unlocked with HTC dev, you're one step closer to flashing roms.
See if you can install a custom recovery, and then flash the rom you want. However, to get it booting you'll have to push the boot image via adb after you flash a rom (it'll be in the respective rom's .zip file, just copy it out), otherwise you'll be stuck on the splash screen.
It's a hassle compared to normal flashing if you rooted with aahk, but at least you'll get something going.
I haven't used the later versions of aahk, I rooted back in sense 2.2 days, can't help you there.

ok thanks for replying, so would it be a matter off following these steps h**p://tau.shadowchild.nl/attn1/?p=88
just got to push that to the phone then I could run ace hack and s-off / root etc.. etc..?
I just don't understand why the ace hack didn't downgrade it properly

Foxy, if your phone Was downgraded You Need To run the hack Kit again. That You are running Android 2.3.3 And sense 2.1....if You are not, then You are not downgraded And You Need to achive that first.

Hi guys just tried to install the 2.3 OTA update that came through today.
Problem is as soon as I try it reboots to the exclamation mark and android symbol.
I am ENG S-OFF Radio S-OFF Sim Unlocked and Perm Rooted.
I did however change my CID to the standard HTC 001.
What could be the issue? I'm not getting any error notifactions or if I am I don't know where to find them?
Any advice?
Have you removed any system apps? Or any of the bloatware they pack in stock builds?
No the only thing I have done is to permroot with Visionary and add radio s-off and supercid now I changed the cid back to stock in prep for the update coming. The ROM is completely standard and stock.
My current version and build info is as follows:
Android Version
2.2
Baseband Version
12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M
Kernel Version
2.6.32.21-gf3f553d

Oh and when trying to use this tool after the failed OTA update attempt to change radio s-off back to on to see if that worked the program no longer seems to work returning failed probably connection errors: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537
Thanks for the quick reply.
Same problem as I have in my thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1081923&page=2
I think its becuase we have S-OFF that we cant get the update. I'd like to know how to get S-OFF back on
If you're both rooted, etc... Why don't you try Seraphics rooted GB ROM?
You can flash it via recovery and is completely stock, other than having root access.
You can find the thread HERE and the ROM HERE
I wouldn't mind knowing how to get S-OFF back on. Starting to wish I didn't root as I cant even get an OTA.
Same problem
I had the same problem ealier today. Yellow ! when the update shuts down the phone, but take out the battery and it loads back 2.2 up..
Tried undoing changes I could remember making- the radio s-off, rooting and the CID. Only other thing I could think of was trying to take clockworkmod recovery off the phone.
I decided just to flash this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1059563
...If you can flash roms, this is probably gonna be much the same as the update.
In the end I was actually pretty disappointed with it. I've tried RCMIX kingdom ROM which has elements of sense3 in it. I hadn't done my research and expected sense 3 with this update.
Thanks for the suggestions guys but I'll be frank and say custom roms aren't interesting me. I use Launcher Pro and make my own lockscreens for all my visual customisations and haven't seen any ROM that does anything out the ordinary other than tweaks.
Its knocked my confidence in using anything off here especially when the tool to s-off supercid and simunlock says its simple enough to go back where in reality after attempting OTA something in the settings somewhere has changed and screwed it up.
The ROM I linked to isn't a custom ROM. Its stock HTC gingerbread with root.

Thanks had a looked more in detail at the rom you linked to and have to say I'm convinced and can't be bothered with OTA anymore lol Decided to stop sitting on the fence and throw myself at the dev communities mercy lol Those using the Easy Radio tool won't be able to go back to s-on unless rooted and to do so ensure that you haven't denied access to an unamed process called "Unknown" in your superuser app as this refers to the radio tools access.

No need to downgrade.

how to root gingerbread
hi everybody,
forgive me if I' writing in the wrong place but for me has been enough difficult to get here..
I'm a rookie android user and I've been flying over the forums for the last three days, I'm really getting crazy.
Here are the specifics of my phone (branded):
android version 2.3.3
kernel version 2.6.35.10-gd2564fb
software number 2.50.405.2
and here's the problem:
I have purchased an AR drone and I'm trying to get it connected so I visited the following link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1072281
seems that the first thing i need is a ROOTED Desire HD . I have tried every thing. Visionary (in different releases installed with ASTRO) seems not to be working. When i select Temproot now, after a while, the screen turns black. I waited for several minutes but nothing happened. So I needed to exit the program selecting "home". At that point it didn't allow me to rerun the app, I needed to reboot the phone to get it working again but no success.
So I tried GINGERBREAK 1.2 but after 25 minutes the rebooting process was still going on and I guessed that something was not working properly (as usual), so I stopped it. I think there is also a problem with Superuser (v 2.3.6.3), infact when I try to update it, it says "an error occurred and su was not updated. A zip file (su-2.3.1-bin-signed.zip) has been placed on your sdcard, please reboot into recovery mode and flash it to update your su binary" (by the way...sorry for my inexperience, but what does "flash something" mean????).Anyway, my phone doesn't reboot on clockwork recovery.
Moreover, upon opening Rom manager (v4.3.2.4) it tells me that I must root my phone to get it working (of course) and that it cannot find Superuser at "system/bin/su" or "system/xbin/su". Guess what! I don't have such files on my phone.....
At this time i don't know what else I can do, I'm relly frustrated.
Can anyone help me out? keep in mind that if you have any kind of solution, I need some very "plain" explanation like if you were talking to your 5 years old son, please
Thanks
If we update with software number 2.50.405.2 can we root?
No, firmware > 2.37 cannot be rooted.
Thanks for the info, I guess I have to get rid of my AR Drone
Hey Guys！
I updated my device recently. follow these steps:
1. already s-off. flash the 2.3.3 RUU
2. enter the official recovery, flash the 2.3.5 update file from the SD card.
3. Reboot and the OTA 2.3.5 with Sense3 works good, s-off but unroot
4. Use AAHK to root and get the superuser , but failed , could not boot the device system.
my question is : How to root DHD with S-off, OTA 2.3.5 with Sense3？
Thanks!
have you sure enabled the usb-debugger?
the phone in charge only mode?
have you the dhd driver install and htc sync on your computer close
have you see if you have all the requirements?

Yes. But unroot
Tell you what, I have the same situation as you, only difference is I also did the official bootloader unlocking out of curiosity. I'm going to use AAHT tonight to root, will report back if it goes through
Ran AAHK, it reverted the HBOOT to one that doesn't have the stupid pink ***UNLOCKED*** text up top, it downgraded 2.3.5, rooted the phone, and upgraded to 2.3.3 and I ended up having the "stock" Gingerbread again, when checked for the 2.3.5 update it didn't pick up anything.
I was lent my friend's DHD and I'm trying to flash a custom recovery to flash a custom rom.
Here are my experiences.
In desperation, and after reading (and following) a dusin different guides on how to root, I turn to this forum....
First off the data:
Country: USA
Model: HTC Desire HD A9191
Android version: 2.3.5
Sense: 3.0
Software no. / ROM: 3.16.751.3
Kernel: 2.6.35.10-ga375925 [email protected] #1 Fri Jun 22 16:53:33 CST 2012
I managed to unlock the bootloader but have been unsuccessful rooting the phone. I've tried guides with:
SuperOneClick V2.1, V2.2, V2.3.1, V2.3.3
Most of them stops at step #7 like many others have experienced. Tried numerous things that people have posted as a fix but with no luck.
Odin3V1.85
Did all that the guides told me to but it wont detect my phone.
Gingerbreak V1.1, V1.2
It runs but seems to be cycling forever. No luck. (I did wait up towards 20 mins).
AMT V1.8.5
Says I need to downgrade my ROM but also says I MUST root before I downgrade.... :/
HTC Quickroot V1.1.13
Wont run on Insecure Boot.img mode (probably because I dont know how).
On Universal Exploit mode it begins working and looks fine but crashes after reboot of the phone upon detection.
AAHK (Ace Advanced Hack Kit) attn 2011/2012
It states that I need a downgrade. I accepted and it began working. Looked promising. However once it's done and goes back to the menu it starts all over again and says I need to downgrade... endless cycle. I checked afterwards and found that nothing had changed on the phone.
Visionary root (unknkown version)
It ran but crashed to black screen shortly after. Tried a few times - no luck.
SO..... Help please! Is this the only Desire HD on earth that cannot be rooted???
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated as I'm desperate now!
Thanks
Relock bootloader, download latest hack kit, try again. AAHK is essentially idiot proof
Sent from my Desire HD
As Guy says, AAHK does not work on an unlocked boot loader.
i seem to be going around and around in circles and am about to completely lose my marbles! I am not completely new to this having successfully rooted a vega, htc desire and my one x, several times before.
i am trying to s-off, root and flash new ROM on my mum's old phone so my 5yo can use it for munzeeing.
wildfire/buzz on 2.2.1 with HBOOT1.01.0001
baseband version 13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10
kernel version 2.6.32.21-g0f9e9b5 [email protected] #1 Tue Nov 30 13:53:39 CST 2010
build number 2.22.405.1 CL295397 release-keys
software number 2.22.405.1
i have uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers over and over again, and now finally seem to be able to get a good adb connection.
however, neither revolutionary tool nor unrevoked3 will work. both find the phone but fail to "do their thing":
revolutionary (downloaded today from revolutionary.io) fails after:
Zerging Root... this might take a minute or so.. _rawadb_handle_msg: unknown command 69766564 Communications with phone unexpectedly interrupted. OR unexpected CLSE. Try again.
unrevoked3 (again fresh download from their website) fails after:
installing package file: 2900000(or so)bytes
installing unrevoked3 service
internal error: installing package failed
i am completely stuck here and can find no way around it.
There is alot about downgrading the boot from 1.01.0002, but i don't have this (and couldnt get that to work either?
what am I missing - i know its something easy/basic.
thanks for any suggestions/help.

You will need to unlock your bootloader on http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/ then use revolutionary or otherwise your phone is root proof!

that's the key is it? noone has mentioned that in the forums (though they are pretty old)
struggled with that even, as don't know what the base RUU is to select on 1st page...

Before you attempt to unlock your hboot via htcdev (lots worse that s-off) can you tell me what android programs you have installed on your pc, like htcsync of sony flashtool, android commander. anything like that? its probably a program thats interfeering with your system and not its drivers. Do not update, as to get s-off again you will have to just downgrade back to where you are now :good:

i don't think i have anything currently running on the system.
now have android sdk stuff and the universal android drivers.
have uninstalled htc sync manager and htc sync (older version) and removed everything else remotely anrdroid/htc-like from uninstall programs screen.
the great thing is i can now consistently connect to my device in both adb and fastboot modes, so i am definitely making progress. i think the key was that the PC's usb socket i was using is a little intermittent - i have now swapped to a different one (also USB2 instead of 3) and i'm getting a much more consistent connection!
however - i have been trying to unlock the bootloader using htcdev site - but having trouble with the RUU - it now connecte fine and reboots my device into recovery but then crashes. every time.
are you telling me i don't need to RUU on the htcdev site? can i s-off/root without??
thanks again

I would recommend attempting revolutionary from revolutionary.io again, assuming that your hboot is still 1.01.0001! keeping in mind that all htc sync type programs are a no-no ( but you have taken care of that ) usb3 ports a no-no for almost all android development and tools (including this one ) and lastly dont install the revolutionary version of clockworkmod recovery as it has a "charging bug" follow this guide and you shall be fine I recommend that you add clockworkmod recovery version 5.0.2.0 from post 2 section 6. using the pc49img.zip method is usually the easiest. tap this thread to let me know how you got on
yay it worked without problem!
thanks for all your help.
pretty sure it was just the USB3 that was the problem - why have i not read anywhere that this is a no no??
thanks all
drnickf
Pretty sure usb3 was not widely used at the time, ergo not a known issue
