you need to run the RUU while in the rom with usb debugging enabled. you leave it at fastboot when you are running the fastboot commands from the PC

suggestions? i'm newbie

did you install htc sync?
I know how to manually flash from the RUU, but I'm not sure that it would fix the problem and could break something. (especially since this RUU modifies hboot)
I'm also not sure if this fix works on phones that are capable of s-off. Which carrier do you have?

what you mean with "carrier"? the animation when i turn on/off phone is vodafone.

in the android sdk did you install the usb drivers? that might do it. by carrier I mean who is your service provider?

HTC_032

Does somebody know which official RUU can I install to my phone, if I have a CID: HTC___032 ?
I am asking it, because I have screwed up my phone a bit, and a want to return to stock. I do this PD98IMG.zip stuff, but after the blue and the the yellow bar have filled in the top right side of the bootloader, i says an error: Main version is older. I am trying the European WWE 3.12.405.1 rom, but I know that mine says I am on 3.13.0.0 in the RUU installer. What should I do?

I have read that thread (search for Ace advance hack kit AAHK link is removed form xda)
Then choose the option root.
A goldcard (goldcard creation process is completely integrated in this procedure)
Temproot
To downgrade the mainver on the device
A HTC signed firmware package from a suitable OTA update.
If he said fail try it again (me did it the 3 time)
When jou phone complete s- off is choose the options back the stock. You must have a ruu for that.
[ READ CARFULL THE MANUAL !!! You are not the first with a corrupt boot loader.]
Your problem is that you have it unlock with HTC dev. If you use that method you are not able to flash radio and kernels. Whitout the kernel he won't boot. Hope that that your helps

Yes, but I have relocked it. Now I am start trying aahk, and i will update upon my process in this thread for further information.

So I am trying to run the AAHK in fastboot USB mode with procedure 1 : Hack Ace, but it says device is not found. My flash method is fastbootRUU, so it cant be the problem

I have proceeded to point, where aahk says Radio Downgrade Faliure. Either Goldcard failed or USB connections are not working 100. What should i do?

Running the hack kit is easier than setting up adb.
You could try uninstalling the htc drivers and installing them again, reboot the pc. And yeah, you might as well set up adb while you are at it if you really want to learn stuff over here at xda.

[Q] Fasboot flash error - REMOTE: NOT ALLOWED

Anytime I try to flash something in fastboot it tries to send and then fails, giving me (remote: not allowed). My phone has been rooted for some time, bootloader is unlocked. I don't understand... when I first unlocked it I flashed CWM with no problem on fastboot to make a backup of stock ROM before flashing custom ones. Why now would it have problems? I would really like to flash CM10 but cannot unless this is resolved... I've searched and have found others with the same problem, but no good fixes, at least not for the HTC ov.

What command are you typing in? Maybe you're typing it wrong or something?

Before flashing try "adb devices" command to make sure that the device is connected properly..
U should get some alphanumeric charecters like "HC45ER...." then you are properly connected...
otherwise just use "one V all in one tool kit" and follow the instructions to flash the kernel....

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...

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?

Softbrick, Successful downgrade. S-on

UPDATE: NO progress overall, but I've been trying fastboot, but it gives me a verify failed error
What do I do?
Hey guys,
I'm really sorry if this has been answered already, but to the best of my surfing, it hasn't
Any way, so I ran the Advanced Ace Hack Kit on a VirtualBox Ubuntu environment.
so it offered to do all necessary for a downgrade, and it downloaded everything and SUCCESSFULLY downgraded my device(DHD) back to Froyo
now, I tried rooting..
I don't know what exactly went wrong.. but this is the status of the phone:
As usual, stuck in white screen
I CAN access H-BOOT, and CWM is apparently installed too... so I'm guessing it's rooted
However, The status is still clear:
S-on
Please put me on the light here?

AAHK is retired. The files it needs have been pulled and the server take down. If you have CWM and S-On, I have a hunch your bootloader is unlocked. Is it? If so you can flash ROMs. For S-On, each time you flash a ROM you need to fastboot flash boot.img.

Hey thanks for your reply, but how do I do that?
I'm trying to flash jelly time, and how can I upload fast boot.img.. I'm sorry, switching from motorola has made understanding difficult also how do I know if it is unlocked?
and is it better to s-off?
can we talk by email? it's my user name at gmail.com

I tend to like doing this in a forum, because if I screw up giving you directions someone else will come by and say so. To check whether you are unlocked, reboot holding down volume-down and power. What does it say? S-Off is currently not an option and it is unknown when it will be one, but yes, S-Off is better.

I tried using aahk a few weeks ago before I realized that it wouldn't work. The phone was soft bricked after trying to use the downgrade file. 5 hours of tinkering and I got it to - s off and root but all I recall is using a combo of adb pushes, super one clicked some aahk..
Basically I 'mashed the keypad until I accidentally dialed the right number'.

If you are running it in windows environment, aahk should provide adb and fastboot command. Just run the hack.ace.cmd as administrator and after that just close it. It should be installed then. To check whether it is installed, just type adb or fastboot in command prompt. It should gives an info regarding adb and fastboot option..
But from your problem, it shows that the adb and fastboot is already installed, but there is a problem with usb connection.
The driver is provided in aahk inside windrivers folder.. Just install it with cable unplugged from phone.

@ Bananagranola, yes your right. I read attn1's post on his website 3 weeks ago about discontinuing and thought he already did.
I now recall my problem was the downgrade file not installing and issues installing cwm.
Inside the aahk I noticed flash_adb was set to flash_hboot which wasn't helping my efforts. I turned flash_adb on and I think that got things rolling. I still had to use super one click to finish the job but I read recently that flashing boot.img would have solved that.
I'd rather do things manually than automated but super one click worked well for me.

Anyone?

Are you trying to flash a ROM? The boot.img you need is the one in that ROM zip, not one in a Froyo RUU.
