Hi all,
First of all, I can imagine that this problem has already been encountered a million times, but I tried searching the forum and didn't see the exact same problem as mine with the same setup. I'm happy to read more if someone points me to another thread with the solution.
Long story short, I tried flashing JellyTime_42 on this phone and even though everything seemed to work well, it's not booting and I'm stuck with the HTC logo.
unlocked the bootloader with HTC dev
flashed CWM recovery 5.8.1.5-ace
uploaded cm-JellyTime_42 and gapps.
wiped data, cache and dalvik cache using CWM
installed JellyTime
rebooted... and that's where I am now.
Some info about the phone itself. It's an Desire HD on ATT. cid: CWS__001

As I said, I can fastboot, and although I'm not sure how to push other stuff to the phone, that part seems functional.
Thanks a lot for your help!!

You need to fastboot flash the boot.img from the ROM zip.

Thanks so much bananagranola, that worked and I can now boot and use the phone!
(for some reason I never saw that step mentioned in any tutorial)
Thanks again
Most tutorials are for S-Off.
Yes, the preferred unlock method for the DHD/I4G is to get S-OFF using the Advanced Ace Hack Kit (AAHK). You can still do that, you just need to relock your bootloader and run the AAHK. The command to relock was given in the last step of HTCdev unlock.
You better do that soon though, if you want. - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38157931
There are 2-3 tutorials in the Ace Think Tank thread for both the AAHK and HTCdev methods of unlock. I've made one for flashing a ROM after HTCdev unlock too. You'll find all the information you'll need about this phone in the Ace Think Tank thread. Look through it.
Also, I suggest you use either 4ext or TWRP recovery rather than CWM. CWM is very dated and causes problems while installing some ROMs (like the recent ViperDHD updates).
For 4ext - Download and install 4ext Recovery Updater from www.4ext.net and flash the latest touch recovery.
For TWRP - Install Goo Manager from Play Store->Menu->Install OpenRecoveryScript

Hi sashank,
Thanks for your input.
Why is AAHK the preferred method? It seems way complicated compared to what I've done, but probably I'm missing something. That said, the phone works like a charm now after flashing boot.img.
Because if you have S-OFF, you won't need to flash boot.img every time you flash a ROM/kernel/ROM update. You don't need to have a PC with you just to flash a ROM. Also, you can directly restore a backup with no hassle. With HTCdev unlock, you need to flash the boot.img in the backup folder separately to complete the process. I do this for my friend's One X because it doesn't have an S-OFF method unfortunately, and it's quite a hassle. If you're okay with flashing boot.img every time, then stick with HTCdev unlock, no problem.
AAHK is actually quite simple to use. It does everything for you. You just need to follow the instructions to the letter, select a few options correctly and it does the rest. Don't be intimidated by it.

Nico, HTCDEV just allows you to have a limited control over your device. You will still be linked to your carrier or sales code (CID) and will not be able to flash RUU from other carriers/geographical areas. That might sound useless now, but belive me that when you get stuck and can not find a RUU for your device you will remember it!
Besides, HTCDEV will not allow you to flash radios and some other stuff. Not to metion that your bootloader says *UNLOCKED* in a beautiful pink color at the top...LOL
S-OFF disables all kinda of security in the phone (nand security off) and that allows you to flash anything at all. From RUU's to radios without facing issues. Besides, that is completely reversible and will leave no traces of being S-OFF if you need to get to a service centre.

Because AAHK gives you full control on your device. It basically gives you permanent root privileges, S-OFFs your phone and with SuperCID (if needed) you actually unbrand your phone...that is that you can install every ROM you want on it.
It's not so difficult, to be honest, you just need to carefully read the guide and you'll soon unleash the real power of your device

I think that something is wrong there. The root access is only to rom level. If you flash a RUU you will lose root privileges until SU is flashed again. What the Hack Kit gives you is S-OFF permanently, which is reversible anyway.

Hello
I need help. Please
I recently brought a friend's phone (Desire HD) to flash custom ROM on. I flashed boot.img via fastboot but when I select recovery, A white screen with HTC shows and after a few seconds, black screen occurs. I know screen is on however. I dont know what to do. The bootloader says unlocked but it says

The steps that I did was.
1. I unlocked the bootloader via HTCDev. It gave me error so I updated via RUU manually through fastboot.
2. After that, I was able to unlock the bootloader via HTCDev.
3. I followed this (http://www.teamandroid.com/2013/04/...android-422-jellytime-jelly-bean-rom-guide/2/) to flash method to Jelly-time on DHD. But when I flashed boot.img via fastboot cmd, it does not go to Recovery, it only shows phone with exclamation mark. If I reboot the phone, it shows white HTC screen and then black black screen. Please help me what to do. After unlocking via HTCDev, I didn't intall CWM, I though flashing boot.img is actually installing CWN :'|
Thanks a LOT in advance
I worked it successfully. I fastboot flashed CWM and it worked. Case closed

Hi,
I used HTCDev to root my DHD, installed ClockworkMod Recovery, and used it to install a custom ROM.
I used fastboot to flash the boot.img file, and now the phone will boot once, and work well, but as soon as i reboot it it freezes at the HTC logo screen (white background, HTC logo, before it shows the "quietly brilliant" tagline.)
I have to reflash the boot.img to get it working again.
If I relock the firmware as per HTCdev instructions, i also hangs at the logo screen, even at first boot.

Use AAHK, advanced ace hack kit to root. You can findbit in the dev section.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Have searched this forum since 2 days now, but was not able to find answer, instead i found different statements making me even more unsecure, what happened, and what are my next steps. So here is my story:
Have used Unlock-Bootloader procedure on HTCDEV, which worked fine. My goal was to use apps like T-Backup or Antitheft-security-software which need root-access to enable all functionality. But have learned now that i am still not rooted, still on S-ON.
Have also lost my German language on the phone ! With going through a "restore factory setting" i get german menu at the beginning, but at that point where i can select a language i only get the selection of English or Greece.
So now i am looking, which next steps i do have to do in order to get root access. I do not want to mod... i only want to have root-access to some apps. But unfortunately all or some tools state that they should only be used with the phone in original status, not modified. Some tools clearly state "Do not use if you already used HTCDEV unlock".
I would be really glad, if somebody out there would spend a few minutes in order to throw some light into my weekend
Use HTC Bootloader to lock the phone again. It should inform you once complete. Don't ever use it again.
Download Advanced Ace Hack Kit (AAHK) from the development section and CAREFULLY follow instructions. The AAHK will then root your phone and give you the ability to flash any ROM you want. It will also preserve your original ROM so iI suggest a backup.
You can use AAHK to go back to stock by flashing a stock RUU. Keep in mind that flashing a Froyo RUU to a Gingerbread shipped phone WILL result in you having major issues. Hope this helps a bit.
Enjoy
EDIT: I have just realized I have written this same exact thing at least 10 times so if you or anyone else comes back with the same issue, I will no longer be replying. Everything there is to know about root, radio s off and flashing custom ROM can be found right here by simply using search and gliding through forums.
I am NOT a babysitter. Do your own homework.

Turns out my trouble was caused by running this:
Code:
fastboot boot boot.img
instead of
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
everything is working fine now
thank you
http://unlockroot.com/
I saw this site by accident and the site says the tool supports rooting the Desire HD.
maybe it works like super one click
downloading it right now to test it, because I can't root my phone using AAHK!
feedback later.
edit:
wow, this tool definitely rooted my phone, I now have superuser on my phone and busy box tell me I'm rooted!
process was a breeze much like "super one click"
spent 6-10 minutes
further updates later.
I checked HBOOT and I still have S-ON (guess I still can;t flash roms right?
I do have clockworkmod already

You can still flash ROMs, you just have an extra step. It sounds like it roots it like HTCDev.
Flash the rom like usual, then come back to the bootloader, plug into the PC, pull boot.img from the ROM zip, open Command Prompt to the folder where fastboot is, and type 'fastboot flash boot boot.img'

History of my Desire HD
Hi I'll be telling you exactly about my device, and maybe you guys have inputs on how I can flash a custom ROM on this.
I just need a little more info/Push/
1. I bought this phone about a week ago from an online buying site
2. the phone was branded ( I can see the logo of "3 network logo" every boot up)
3. I have a general Idea on how to flash custom Roms ( I have had 6 android phones so far, all of them rooted and flashed with custom roms)
4. So I immediately wanted to root and flash this phone and found out about AAHK, which downgraded my phone from Android 2.3.5 down to 2.3.3, but cant seem to root my phone. It did however, flashed clockworkmod unto it (v5.0.27) and busybox was installed. The phone also became unbranded, but still I have S-ON
5. to root my phone I used the tool form www.unlockroot.com. Superuser was installed. Still I have S-ON
I have been reading for the past week and I found out I can't install a custom ROM if I have an S-ON
So to have my S-OFF I have been reading this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537
the problem is I'm not sure if this device was shipped with gingerbread or froyo. Is there a way to find out?
here are some details as well

my reasons for rooting/flashing custom ROM
1. the Phone's proximity sensor is not working well si i wanted to flash another ROM with a different kernel since my current kernel seems unsupported by the DHD proxomity sensor re-calibration tool. I didn't expect DHD would have this problem before buying
2.Also I have an addiction of flashing ROMS and trying new stuff
can you guys point me to the right direction?
I also have a question, can I flash a kernel by HTC even if I have S-On?

I have the same '3' phone and have a similar problem (But caused by HTCDev - Still have S-ON but phone is rooted). You say that I can flash as per normal and then fastboot the rom.img - I have no problem doing this but many of the custom ROMs I have tried did not load - they got stuck on the developers splash screen and even if left the phone for over 30 mins the ROM did not move forward.
Are there any ways to get through this? So far the only ROMS that I have managed to load ate PrimoS and Virtuous infinity - However with both of these I cannot get the camera or wifi to work - Even using the patches available here.
Any help appreciated
But are you running 2.3.5 by "3"? I downgraded mine to 2.3.3 using AAHK. And after that I can no longer try AAHK, it says radio download failed.
I wannna flash a custom ROM! sense is not that slow but not fast either!

i'll bump this one up
attn1's AAHK is still out there. He's just left XDA. It doesn't take much to find him out there, and his kit is still as good as usual.
his kit works still, you just ahve to contact him on the irc channel that i dont know the adress for
It doesn't work for all I think, lots of post here about unable to root their phones, I've tried it countless of times on 2 laptops both doesn't have HTC sync nor itunes and Anti virus or firewalls were disabled.
I was able to downgrade using AAHK but I can't root or S-off my phone
so I used www.unlockroot.com to root my phone but I'm still S-ON
problem solved thanks to attn1!
he maybe a douche sometimes but he's a good egg
thanks attn1!
Hello
I tried to root my desire hd by using the aahk kit. I strictly followed the efffen manual, but somehow the bootloader still states that the device is in "s-on" mode. I can install custom roms, but I only get the screen showing the htc logo when rebooting the device. I can only access the bootloader and the recovery mode. (the connection to my computer works)
I already tried:
to unlock the bootloader with the help of htcdev.com (=> worked)
to apply the aah Kit a second time => does not work (I get the message that no device is found. Alternatively I can start the hack while the device is switched off. This way the device is found, but the hack doesn't succeed.
Is there anything else I can try? I hope somebody has an advice.

You can't use AAHK on an unlocked bootloader. Relock it and try AAHK again if you want S-OFF. If you are okay with S-ON, you need to flash the boot.img each time you flash a ROM. Otherwise, your phone will hang on the HTC screen like yours is right now.
You might have used AAHK to downgrade the first time, which would be why you were still S-ON. If your phone is on 2.3.5, AAHK needs to be run twice: once to downgrade, once to root.

Thanks for your quick reply! I successfully relocked the bootloader. However, as you may see in the screen shot the AAHK doesn't work properly.
Anyway, I do not necessary need S-Off. Where can I find information about how th flash the boot.img? (Is the boot.img extracted from the stock RUU suitable?) What's the best way to continue? Flashing the boot.img and installing a custom rom directly afterwards?
in addition:
I tried to use a different sd-card => same error.
As suggested I flashed the boot.img. It worked but I still can't use custom ROMs. What do I do wrong???

For AAHK: I think your sdcard may be corrupted for use as a goldcard, which can happen when it's improperly dismounted; though you can access data, you can't use it for AAHK. Get a brand-new one and try it.
For boot.img when S-ON: look in post #7's PDF in the Ace Think Tank thread linked in my signature. Instructions are in there someplace, but I can't remember the page number off the top of my head. You will need to flash the ROM, then fastboot flash the boot.img, each time.

That seems to be a connectivity issue. Have you installed the drivers with the phone unplugged?
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.

ok, Have you managed to unlock the bootloader? if you are already unlocked, do you mind if I have a look at it over teamviewer?

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!
Thanks

Ok so I believe I bricked my phone. Currently all it does is boot to the HTC quietly brilliant screen, blink, then HTC quietly brilliant over and over forever. I am able to enter the Hboot no problem, but Recovery and Factory Reset don't help the problem.
Just so you know what I've done:
1) Started with the intention of rooting: Which now seems impossible due to me updating to the 2012 system update released before I realized it makes all the rooting instruction impossible to do.
2) I was able to UNLOCK the Hboot but the program that you normally run before hand would not work, so I did it all manually and successfully.
Current Hboot info is:
***UNLOCKED***
MarvelC PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT 1.10.0001
Microp-0354
Radio-0.94.00.0109
Apr 17 2012, 18:21:30 - I'm assuming this is the line that ruined rooting for me.
3) Tried and read every single program/walkthrough out there nothing works at all.
4) Today I tried using Hasoon2000's HTC Wildfire All in one kit.
5) Attempted to flash the recovery - thought it worked
6) As I knew about the system update mentioned above Apr17, 2012 I attempted to Flash the kernal with the boot rom inside the "RUU_Marvel_Virgin_Mobile_1.37.351.1_Radio_47.10.3 5.3029H_7.46.35.08_release_188032_signed". It went through and said everything worked perfectly. Upon restarting my phone is now stuck on the perpetual loop mentioned above and useless.
7) Booting into Hboot and attempting Flash does nothing as everything is still blocked it seems by that damm patch. Rooting using this program did not work either. I attempted to root from the Hboot USB promt (it was my only choice after the Brick)
Any assistance or ideas or leads really anything would be nice. I hope I supplied enough details.

At what point of "rooting" were you at.. and which method were you using to "root"
the 2012 update made no difference to my NON marvel C handset when rooting via the official HTCdev method.
I'm not sure what you did... clockwork mod recovery installed?
I have abused my HTC & in the last 2 weeks has had about 10 diff rooms on it... I'm finding it hard to brick.. only soft brick

I've been abusing it as well, this is the first time I've run into issue, but then again this is the first time I used this program and tried to see if I could roll back that system update with the KERNEL flash. That's the point at which all hell broke loose.

Really I'm not going to get any help at all? The Phone can't be Rooted so it's not rooted, just Unlocked HBoot as mentioned. It's in a constant Boot Loop.

Well I was able to get the phone to reboot by Fastboot flashing after extracting the rom.zip from the
RUU_Marvel_Virgin_Mobile_1.37.351.1_Radio_47.10.35.3029H_7.46.35.08_release_188032_signed
file, but the userdata, radio and recovery portions would not pass the Signatures portion.
So I'm unable to connect with my Wifi or The Phones network. Any ideas from here?
Sounds like a boot lopped have you tried flashing any roms?

LOL hey sorry my phone died and I was at work all last night.
You say its just in a perpetual boot loop... I had this with a "dodgy rom" install when I first started messing around. I managed to fix the issue with a complete wipe of SD card - formatted in the PC - then dalvic cach, cache etc... some "paid for" versions of App2sd etc that are patched or cracked also give loads of probs.
Stupic question, have you formatted / cleaned all aspects of mem card and phone acsessable files using the HBOOT.
When mine did it I just installed a fresh rom (cyanogen mod 10.1) and it worked again. without the reovery / install from SD isnt there I'm stumped.... noobie strikes... sorry
I'll have a read though... see what I can come up with.
I see from the Kernal You tried was for a MARVEL not MARVELC.... im sure the two should never be mixed up or bricking will happen
i'll get back to you later if i find anything out mate.

From reading the tread properly, it seems a flash of the MARVEL Kernal onto a MARVELC phone is where the propblem lies.. Im pretty sure you should never mix the two... I could be wrong though - my wife tells me I often am! lol
good luck Drakons:good:
your best bet at this point is to flash a custom rom that is already rooted. you have the custom recovery already installed so just flash the rom. (whichever you like) for future reference the marvelc can be s-offed by placing the pj76diag.nbh onto the sdcard and booting to bootloader, allowing it to run and then selecting clean s58 data. once you have s-off you can supercid and then run any ruu that you want, should you ever get stuck in situations like this. where as the htcdev unlock blocks the use of ruu`s and pj76img.zips from bootloader
