[Q] Need help in Updating my HTC desire to jelly bean - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I am using HTC desire for more than 2 yrs with the same factory settings apart from upgrading the OS to 2.3.3.
Now i wish to upgrade my phone to jellybean 4.1.2 from cynogenmod.
Since, i've no idea abt how to root the phone, i tried unlocking the bootloader as defined in this forum and i followed the steps as in the HTC site.
but when i enter the fastboot command in the cmd, it shows waiting for the device and no other thing appears.
It would be really helpful to me, if someone can explain me step by step procedures to root my phone and upgrade it as i i've no technical idea about Android.
As of now, am in the 0th step of rooting my phone.
So please start from the scratch and guide me.
Thanks,
Sadique

The beta key is fine, u did something wrong. Re download the revolutionary tool, run the tool and plug in ur phone, and in the revo command window it will say enter beta key for xxxxxxxxxxxx <----- use that number in the comnand window to generate ur beta key on the website. Then copy/paste it from website to command window.

I think i need help forever!!!

The mistake was on my side only.
i did as u said and it worked. Thanks for your help.
But now am stuck with the following scenario,
Waiting for fastboot...
in the revolutionary screen.
its stays on this stage like forever with the white screen in the phone.
I ran the revolutionary as an admin, enabled usb debugging and disabled Fastboot in settings.
How can i proceed now?? plz help!!!

Have you installed the HTC Fastboot drivers for Windows ?
Have you HTC sync installed ? (if so, you might have to uninstall it)

THIS IS MY FIRST TUTORIAL SO MAYBE ITS BAD PLEASE DON'T FLAME
Maybe some of you guys have updated your HTC Desire rom and upgraded you HBOOT To 1.02.blabla that was dumb because you where to be unable to root it... Now this problem solved by a Team namely Revolutionary! credits at the bottom so lets get started!
Step 1: Go to the website of revolutionary cant add a link because i am new Just google Revolutionary
Step 2: Scroll to the bottom and Click download for Linux or Windows (depends which platform you have)
Step 3: If you have started the download then there will be appear a box; fill in that box you information like this:The image is in the attachment
Ok that serial number is fake tog get you real serial number: Options/About Phone/Phone Identify and you will see Device Serial Number Type the same in the Revolutionary box and you will get a beta Key This is you Own Key Everyone gets a different one.
Step 4: Now Plug in you phone in to your computer and enable usb debugging.
Then Run the revolutionary.exe file and it will detect you phone.
And it will ask your beta key. enter it and it will root your phone install a custom recovery and s-off it.
Step 5: Click on the Thanks button
Done.

Open the zip, read META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script, and look what it does..it only add some files to ur system (it even remove it first, in case u already have an older version of those files)
Thanks mate.
Worked fine for me (HTC Desire) - painless in fact .... just as well, as unrevoked3 didn't
Took a few minutes to get S-OFF and CWM, then from there just a simple flash of the Superuser zip file.
Thanks
Which is the best method of rooting?
alpha-rev or unrevoked??
AlpharRev does not give you root. It gives you S-OFF. To get root, you need to use unrevoked (or Revolutionary + flashing superuser.zip afterwards).
Sent from Sandvold's ICS using Transparent XDA App
AlhpaRev and Unrevoked3 do not work on this HBOOT (HBOOT 1.02.0001). At least never worked on mine. Plus, there are much more steps to s-off the phone and root it using the older way (Alpharev and Unrevoked3).
For our HBOOT 1.02.0001 Revolutionary is really a bless. It worked perfect on mine and that only with few clicks (of course, provide PROPER information on the site to get a key). Getting SU access after installing the latest SU from recovery was piece of cake of course.
I got 3.0.7 (from the upper link of course, just delete the file so you can go to the upper directory to get a list of all SU versions).
I cannot say about older HBOOT or newer, but this Revolutionary tool is really the easiest and most simple way to S-Off your phone and get recovery, and from there to install SU is just few steps away (put the downloaded .zip file to SDcard and install from there ... cannot be easier).

Tried with my HTC Desire, but aftre step 4 I am getting the message "waiting for device" and unable to proceed. Please help!

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

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.

as far as I know the unlock method of htc dev doesn't give you s-off (which seems to be confirmed by yourself saying you're still s-on). S-on means "security on" what in other words means you won't be able to flash a custom recovery (if I'm not mistaken here).
You said that you have read every thread here about this - so you should know as it's mentioned all over this forum (that htc dev isn't the best method...). For how - and if - you still could get there I''m not too sure but you probably need to do an RUU, downgrade etc to do the suggested method (of the two corresponding threads here) instead of the htc dev thing.
But as I said: I_m not sure if you still can - probably someone has experience here?

No, no. He will be able to flash a custom recovery if he unlocked it using HTCDev, he won't, however, be able to modify the internal storage while the phone is booted.

ah, yes, thx for clearifying - so you can't get control over the partitions or what does it mean?
The htc dev method gives a different output to revo or alpha, if it says s-on with unlocked somewhere then fastboot is the only method that will work for flashing a custom recovery and although some things like the revovery partition are unlocked for flashing, some important things like radio aren't hence the s still being on........
I presume if it says s-on and locked then yes you have probably gone wrong somewhere and locked it again.
Theres not many people on here that have used the htc dev unlock tool i don't think so support might be a bit thin as we don't know much about it, try running through the htc dev unlock method again to hopefully get it unlocked again and then flash cwm by the fastboot method.
If it says locked then i can't think of any other way, downgrading to hboot 1.01.0001in order to use revolutionary may work but i'm not sure if you can or not as i have personally never done it.

i already tried buzz downgrade a long ago.i used the method as it is told on the website..:good:
but don't know why it doesn't work properly i have no idea why this don't work either. i read number of threats regarding it and i tried to google
with the errors that came with buzz downgrade. something just goes wrong with it in the first step but it just doesn't get completed. the phone does not respond when i ran the buzz downgade utility even after installing the htc driver from the buzz downgrade itself (don't remember exactly that it is explained over the internet). i did clearly everything whatever is written in the threats about how to use the buzz downgrade but in vain i stopped it trying.
i still have the setup of buzz downgrade in my laptop.:silly:
but why it doesn't work i don't know..and you know what i read that threat too in the past.
may be it is the problem of the bootloader that it is locked..

During your procedure,did you ever achieve the S-OFF ?
You need to downgrade from 1.02.0000 to 1.01.0001 to use Revolutionary.
Try this guide.
If you want revolutionary will automatically download the recovery and install it on your phone.
After gaining S-OFF if you can't get Unrevoked working in order to gain root.
Use this or try SuperOneClick.
Good luck:good:
Try the link in my Sig, it should help. First, I recommend running an RUU and relocking your bootloader using fastboot oem lock.
Then try the debranding and rooting guide in the Sig.

this is the thing i already tried a long ago. when the wildfire was updated to 2.2 version of android ,it changed into "wildfire (buzz) 2.2.1, with HBOOT 1.01.0002"..now as the threats i read there in the past, i can't run the revolutionary or any other method. because the htc has applied some sort of lock on the new bootloader. revolutionary gave some error which i don't remember as per the threats. in the mean time nobody able to find the solution of this new 1.01.0002 bootloader unlocking. then i that time i heard of htc dev website and in that time i used that website to unlock my bootloader and alas it got unlocked and my bootloader has been changed to 1.02.000.. but now i again find that my bootloader is locked may be.. how i don;t know about that.. i tried to run that method of buzz downgrade number of times thoroughly again and again as if u read in the thread above it give some sort of error and does't do anything for me. so i asked what else i do then this , again do i need go to htc dev website to unlock bootloader ??

I told you,you need to downgrade from 1.02.0000 to 1.01.0001 to use Revolutionary.
Did you make any Gold-Card thing ?
so i asked what else i do then this , again do i need go to htc dev website to unlock bootloader ??
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I never tried htcdev method so i have no idea about that.You should probably try their method once again,if that doesn't work,use the Gold card tool to downgrade the HBOOT using this guide.
Code:
Step 1: run step1.bat from the package. This will downgrade your MISC partition to allow for the RUU downgrade.
At the end, GoldCardTool will start up, to allow you to create a goldcard which you will need before starting Step 2

What is the information on your hboot screen? tell us your hboot info first,we can help you in a better way.
Let me tell you,I successfully rooted my phone after OTA 2.2 update using Revolutionary.
I told you,you need to downgrade from 1.02.0000 to 1.01.0001 to use Revolutionary.
Did you make any Gold-Card thing ?
I never tried htcdev method so i have no idea about that.You should probably try their method once again,if that doesn't work,use the Gold card tool to downgrade the HBOOT using this guide.
Code:
Step 1: run step1.bat from the package. This will downgrade your MISC partition to allow for the RUU downgrade.
At the end, GoldCardTool will start up, to allow you to create a goldcard which you will need before starting Step 2
Step 2: run step2.bat from the package. This will downgrade your ROM version to HTC WWE Froyo for Wildfire (unbranded).
If you get a Customer ID error while doing this, your goldcard is not working!
Create a new goldcard and re-run step2
or follow usaff22's guide.

You didn’t answer me,What is the information on your HBOOT screen?
Power off the phone and ensure the phone is completely off. Then hold POWER + VOL-DOWN buttons together until the white HBOOT screen appears. Tell us your HBOOT info.
You are getting Customer ID error,It’s a bad Goldcard.You will have to create a new Goldcard.
>Connect it to your computer using an SD Adapter and format the card to FAT32 file system once again.
>Redownload and reextract the package.
>Follow this guide to create the Goldcard.It’s a bit more detailed.
Before doing anything download CCleaner and TFC and run them.TFC will ask you to reboot.Reboot the PC.
Now make the Goldcard.Good luck.

not really clear to me also - if I got him right he initially has been on 1.01.0002 (because of the Android update). Because there hasn't been a possibility by revolutionary yet at that time and for that bootloader he unlocked it at the htcdev site what made it 1.02.000.
But I'm a bit confused, too, so a detailed information of the fastboot screen would really help (or a pic).

As it says,your Bootloader is still LOCKED.
After using HTC dev unlock tool your HBOOT 1.01.0002 got changed to 1.02.000 while Bootloader is still locked.

Do you mean AAHK (Advanced Ace Hack Kit)? If so, could you post the output from when you try to use AAHK?
you can do it thru windows, just remember to turn off all security features or the root will fail.

and dont forget to check your Desire HD drivers again at your windows....

sri, that is pretty clear, isn´t it? Have you installed the driver included in the tools>windrivers folder with the phone unplugged?
If you are not sure, then uninstall the drivers, unplug the phone. Install it again and then plug the phone and let it install correctly. Make sure that you use the oem cable and if that is not working try using a different oem cable and a different 2.0 usb port (it won´t work on a 3.0)
And make sure to
Disable any antivirus you have before unzipping the aahk

Sorry for my stupid question, but how do i distinguish between USB 2.0 and 3.0 on my laptop. Since I am also having the same problem while running AAHK. Also, what should I do if I can't find the htc driver after installing it.

Normally the usb 3.0 ports are blue
About the driver: Why would you want to find it? The important thing is that it is installed so your computer recognizes the phone correctly.
But anyway, on my PC I have a folder in the start menu named HTC, subfolder HTC Driver. You could use that as an indication for the driver being installed.

[Q] Problems with installing blackout ics ROM Desire HD

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.

the phone is now stuck at signature verification. I reasearched for it but could not find a viable solution or an exploit that can overcome it(though everyone seems to be suggesting to install CWM recovery)
Not taking any chances to convert my phone into a brick! Whats the best way.

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!
