[Q] Won't flash kernel

I have tried to flash kkernel v6, v11 and OCbuzz.
But every time when I go to about phone in settings it says the default firmware.
when I am in the bootloader it says
"ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF
H-BOOT-0.85.02.08_M
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.03.02.08_M
eMMC-boot"
It also says the time but I didn't think I'd need to say that.
I've only had the phone since christmas, so i'm still a noob, but I have no idea how to make it work. I borrowed a friends laptop to use the kernel update utility tool version 0.8
I am using the leedroid HD v1.3a rom.
someone please help me.

You need ENG S-OFF for the Kernel Update Utility to work, as it says in the requirements.
With ship S-OFF you can only flash via ClockworkMod, so you have two options: use CWM, or get yourself ENG S-OFF.

Kernel update don't show in the bootloader. What you are looking at is the radio version.
You need to boot the phone and then go settings>about phone>software and it will show which kernel you are running there.

Why is that different?

ENG S-OFF comes with engineering bootloader, which allows to issue fastboot commands to the bootloader through USB.

Oh, thanks
I didn't know FASTBOOT USB was only available from the ENG HBOOT .

Well actually it is available in SHIP hboot, too, but it just does not allow the user to do much

I know it doesn't. I was only saying those things because I wasn't sure if all the pre-requisites were correct.

Here is my advice you have stated at bottom of your post your running leedroid 1.3a don't waste your time trying to flash the kernel as leedroid is built on 1.72 and you will be back on here ask long why your mic doesn't work or something else as there is no kernel compatible with the 1.72 as of yet HTC have not released it so your better of just getting Eng s-off and flashing the recommended radio from leedroids first post till a compatible kernel is available

each time i tried to push via adb, it comes with err: verifying signature failed etc

I think you mean downgrade. I don't think you can downgrade you hboot. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I mean back to stock without facing issues with bootloader unlocked
Or if I can upgrade my bootloader
My concern is to flash Rom
The mistake u made causing all this mess is I choose relocked option from ahkit
But it does not shows any on screen message to select relock
However my observation is its only a single thing I am missing
After relock I tried to unlock but err failed message
Can fastboot flash recovery either
And additionally can't proceed with anything other then receiving error signature failed
Some one please direct me towards right direction.....

I don't get what you are trying to do, but if are already unlocked I don't get how you still have 0027 hboot version. Use the links in my signature to find out what the procedure is...

please have a look
also my software build is the higher one(3.13.161.5) i cant find any update at htc developers web
however as i mentioned before you can clearly see the one in attached image
unlocked one is the one i asked you last time to fastboot flash boot image it was originally on orange but left one is on vodafone uk
thanks

I still don't get what you are trying to do. Have you tried one on my tools?? AceRoot or Unlock Tool?

i tried to use the old unlock bin which i generated when i unlocked it via htc developers web (putting in unlock folder)
tried to install via htc developers as well
no luck in root tool, easy unlock tool, ahc tool
i cant understand why this erorr comes every time

Seems that your build version is not supported to update the hboot. You need to create a goldcard and flash a supported RUU first.

I have xtc clip with me
Gold card will be done but which correct ruu...? :banghead:

[Q] S-ON Orange UK Branded issues..

Long story short.....
Ive had my DHD for about 2 years now and have flashed the crap out of it without any issues.
My DHD is non branded, and Ive never had an issue with it.
I bought the Wife a DHD with Stock Rom, S-ON locked Bootloader etc. Locked to Orange UK
Ive scoured the XDA forums for an answer but unable to find it. Although I found Soooooooo many post with dead links or incomplete / Not working information etc.
I have used the HTCDev site to unlock the bootloader now, and also installed CWM and managed to install a Stock-rooted Rom.
SU works etc so I know I have root.
Problem is that I cannot get S-OFF at all nor Install my Favorite DHD Rom, SVHD.

Recovery = Clockworkmod v5.8.1.5
Android Version = 2.3.5
Sense = 3.0
Software = 3.12.405.1_rooted_by_nitr00
So, Ive tried Easy S-OFF and all I get is "Unknown Error"
Ive tried to install the same ROM that I have on MY DHD and it gets stuck at the HTC White logo screen.
Question is, how come the SVHD Rom wont run once installed, and how can I get S-OFF !
Any info would be a Huge help...

Did you forgot to flash boot.img? Being s-on and unlocked require you to do that every time you flash new custom rom. The boot.img can be found in the rom zip file.

never had to flash boot on my working Dhd.
ill look into it.

So basically, If I keep S-on, every time I want to put a now ROM on the phone, I have to flash boot.img before I do ?
Any idea why I cant get the S-OFF tools to work though ?

Yes, because unlocked bootloader with s-on does not allow you to alter boot partition through recovery. From your post, you said you are using easy s-off. If im not mistaken, that tools cannot be used on bootloader v2 (new bootloader). The only way is by using aahk2 which can be found in general section. Im not sure whether u need to flash a ruu in order to use that tool. It is better for you to ask in that thread.

Actually found a way to do it via Terminal on the phone.
Ill see if I can find the link I used.

[Q] Somewhat bricked my phone, but maybe recoverable?

So after following 18 guides on trying to unlock my phone, I think I bricked it *gets stuck at HTC screen*
The current state I am in is, I have Clockwork mod installed and I can still get into the Hboot, but it says my device is an Ace... i'm not sure why. Anyway I was getting frustrated and I think I formatted my /system on my phone. What can I do to get it back or restore my phone?
- I have access to CWM and Hboot
Thank you for your help.

What have you done?

It's more like what haven't I done.
The latest things I did was use Clockwork Mod and I formatted everything including my /system/ folder. I did this because I was fed up and my root attempts had broken my WiFi so I wanted to get back to square 1 and try again.
Can I restore an original ROM and get rid of Clockwork Mod, if all I can really access right now is Hboot and Clockwork mod?

Formatting system does not go back to square one. Did you unlock your bootloader with HTCDev? If so, did you relock? Did you try to S-Off, and if so, with AAHK? AAHK2? Manually? Did you root? Did you flash a recovery other than CWM? Did you flash the right version? Those things could all matter. That's why I'd like to know exactly what you did.
If you can't remember, boot into the bootloader. What does it say?

I tried AAHK initially but it was not working.
I unlocked with HTCDev. I got the CID key and it said it was successful.
I don't think I relocked, not on purpose anyway.
I tried to S-off with this method:
Code:
boot to recovery (yes, the screen may well be blank, but adb should work fine)
adb push gfree /tmp/
adb shell chmod 775 /tmp/gfree
adb shell /tmp/gfree -f >> yeilds – s-off, supercid, sim-unlock
However when I tried this I got an error at the end
Code:
Attempting to power cycle eMMC… Failed.
No such directory
That should have been the last step and I would have been golden. However since it did not work, and because the guy does not support these actions, I found a much simpler application to do S-OFF and root all in one. However now that application says my phone is a device called "ace" and it will not work, which is why I was trying to go backwards.
And I only just saw now that AAHK2 is out........ ugh. I just want to go back to the beginning. I will post why my phone says in recovery mode to provide more info when I get home.
Thanks for the help so far.

Also would anyone know how I could get my hands on the original rom that would come with a Telus HTC DHD?

like what bananagranola said..you must show us what the state of your phone bootloader now..then we can continued help and guide you what the next step you must to do..
just turn on your phone with pressing and hold volume down+power until get inside phone bootloader..then you can tell us what the state is..?
example like this..:

Ok good news! I used clockwork recover to bring my phone back to something... hopefully it was smart. I bought it to this
DHD_WWE_3.12.405.1_STOCK_rooted_by_nitr00
My wifi is still broken, when I go to it it jsut says error. Could this be a bad Radio version?
My current software version is
2.3.5
3.0 htc sense
software is 3.12.405.1_rooted_by_nitr00
What steps should I take now that I am in this position? I am still trying to get my phone in a state that I can use my Rogers sim card. Currently I cannot find any networks with my card. I am still at the above stats, S-ON, etc..

HTC one V Hboot 1.18 installing stock RUU-S ON

Hi guys...
i desperately in need of help. i am in stock rom and i wanted to root my HTC and i did unlocked using HTC dev method. and installed CWM recovery. it worked fine for about 6 months (plz note i never flashed any custom rom, just unlocked with the stock rom)
but now suddenly my sim card is not detected. when i go to settings the flight mode says 'turning off' and it never turns off...and hence my sim not working. so i decided to reinstall stock RUU but it says wrong RUU and failed.
Info:
****Unlocked****
PrimoU PVT SHIP S-ON RL
Hboot 1.18.0000
Radio-3831.19.00.120
eMMC-boot
CID : HTC_038
i tried flashing stock recovery and relock the mobile and then RUU but it fails.now when i searched in internet i came to know that i need to down grade hboot 1.18 since no RUU is available for this version and for doing so i need to do S-OFF. i tried rum runner but it ended up in failed to update error. so plz help me. :crying:
I want to know why the radio is not working and also how to revert back to stock RUU.?
P.S :i have a doubt on how it happened-last week i updated SuperSU and on recovery menu in Hboot it showed me warning that " Rom will flash stock recovery, proceed to fix.? " i gave no...i am not sure but i thing it may be the reason because i havent done anything new since i rooted my mobile.

take a backup with CWM recovery
bro before doing anything to stock rom pls backup through CWM recovery

1st of all, to find a compatible RUU for your phone the hboot is irelevant, you need to figure out what's your CID. There is a CID application on play store that will tell you what you need: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.tritonsoft.cidgetter&hl=ro
2nd from what i understood in your post you are still able to use the ROM somewhat, try to activate ADB in developer settings and reboot the phone through adb command. you will need to install android SDK and update your envoirnment variables in windows. you can lookup a tutorial on google about how to do that or if you can't find it you can PM me and i can give you some instructions.
it's very important to find a way to reboot your phone in bootloader because in order to reflash a RUU you need to relock your bootloader and to flash back the stock recovery.
it does not sound to me like your phone will be hard to fix (i had a lot worse and still managed to fix it ^^)
good luck with these steps, see if you can get any results and update here, we'll figure something out
cheers
