[Q] Desire HD can't boot (red triangle) after AAHK Fail - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone!
I've managed to screw up my Desire HD after running aahk-11092012, and was wondering if anyone had any bright ideas...
The Phone is a Desire HD bought from SFR here in France in 2011, never rooted or custom rom'ed, although updated with 2or 3 SFR roms since.
I ran aahk from the terminal on a OSX 10.7 (see Output.txt). From this you will see that it wants naturally to downgrade (to Froyo I assume) but downloading the rom fails, and even though I refused the "-n Flash this RUU? (y/n)" question, it continued doing all sorts of things, getting a few error along the way, rebooting the phone into recovery a few times, and finishes with
************* Downgrade failed *************
** Either:
** GoldCtixiard/SDCard failed
** USB connections are not working 100%
************* Downgrade failed *************
I then tried to flash the "Gingerbread HTC WWE 2.50.405.2" rom from the options menu, thinking I'd be clever, but that monumentally fails too..
From this point on the phone boots to the "Red tringle with an exclamation mark" screen (after the white HTC logo) and does nothing else.
Restarting AAHK just fails with a "Error detecting HTC phone on USB connection."
Having discovered the "VOL-UP +Power" recovery screen during this process, the next thing I tried was a "Apply sdcard:update.zip", but this just results in an "Invalid command" message underneath that already present "E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command" in yellow further down the screen.
I then try a "Wipe data/factory reset" and also a "Wipe cache partition". I can't honestly explain this. At least not given that I hadn't really looked up the issue anywhere yet. I also cant remember exactly what the output was, but the result is the same, still the red triangle screen.
OK, so now I finally open my eyes and realize what a moron I've been, so i plunge into actually learning something and realize quickly (aside from I hate myself and I'm not special, bla bla) that there are loads of thing I could have done differently, and directly on the phone, but obviously it's now too late. (See below for the information I CAN get from the Phone)
Oh yes, I did try a "Factory reset" from HBOOT, but still no joy....
The main option I've been looking into has been to recover an original branded SFR firmware and Froyo ROM and go from there, so I did manage to get a PD98IMG.zip file onto the SD card and HBOOT recognizes it, but fails with a "CID Incorrect" error.
I seem, therefore to be stuck whether I want to return to original SFR or continue tryng to flash a custom ROM:
I can't make a goldcard: I cant adb any commands, in HBOOT the device is not found, and in recovery the device is found but is "offline".
I found jo0ls' CID reader, but I dont have a SD card reader directly plugged to the PCI bus!
I did finally try to install a clockwork recovery in FASTBOOT, but get this:
$ fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-ace.img
sending 'recovery' (3624 KB)... OKAY
writing 'recovery'... INFOsignature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
I assume this is much the same error as for the PD98IMG...
Sorry about the long winded post, but I hope it has the maximum of info...
Anyone have any ideas?
- I can boot to HBOOT: it shows me this:

AAHK, and the server hosting the downgrade files, is retired. You can still unlock the bootloader, but your hboot needs updating before it cam be unlocked. I think you could also run your stock RUU.

CID Number shows that your device is a Vodafone device, probably VodaSFR but who knows? Fetch a Voda RUU and install it

you need to upgrade your bootloader to 2.00.0029
htcdev.com/ruu/PD9810000_Ace_Sense30_S_hboot_2.00.0029.exe (sorry, i can´t atach links)
then unlock it(follow htc-dev guide) and you will be able of flashing a custom recovery

Thanks for all your answers!
@ bananagranola: I did know aahk had been discontinued, I actually mentioned this originally but edited it out to "shorten my post"!
@ humzaahmed155: quite right, I'm with SFR, and I'm trying to simply restore an original branded ROM
@ pascuals: I will look into your suggestion right away! I was vaguely aware I might have to do this but could not get an accurate enough idea of what version might be appropriate for my phone

Woohoo!! I'm so happy, I got the phone working again last night!! I had a ruu kicking around:
RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_Vodafone_FR_3.13.163.3_Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_227340_signed.exe
from the first day I'd bricked it. This hadn't worked the first time I tried it on windows (actually a Parallels VM on Mac), with the phone plugged in, but I can't remember what mode the phone was in; but as you'll see below I must not have been in fastboot...
Whatever, last night I finally tried pascuals's PD9810000 RUU, with the phone connected and in fastboot, the utility detects the phone fine, but fails with a firmware version error, saying the phone is 1.32.405.6, it will install version 3.13.0.0 but I need to "upgrade to 3.12.405.1"..:silly: (see attachments).
Feeling dejected I fired up the rom cited above thinking I have nothing to lose, and...lo an behold...10 minutes or so later the phone reboots to a beautiful welcome screen insulting me for not having inserted a SIM card!!!
Thanks anyway for your answers, at least they got me looking in the right direction!! I will now go a learn properly how this things work before bricking it again

My HBOOT is 0.85.2425, after S-OFF. Can I update to 2.00.0029? How?
Thanks.

use that link and just run the exe with your phone connected, atleast with debugging on i think, mine was like that, the tool took care of the rest automatically.

I see no reason why you need to update the bootloader when you already have s-off. If your bootloader is engineering bootloader then just let it be.

[Q] Bricked Desire / 4 triangles / fastboot usb access only

Heres the situation. Was happily running a rooted s-offed desire using Oxygen 2.3.2.
I needed to flash on a stock O2 rom as its got to go back to HTC tomorrow because of the reboot on charge issue.
Anyone I've run into a problem.
Downloaded and ran this:
RUU_Bravo_Froy2_UK_2.14.207.1_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_144166_signed.exe
Then this happened:
Right crew downloaded the O2 Froyo RUU.
Go to install and get this screen:
(ruu.jpg)
I start to worry a bit. But none the less I Wait for it to do its thing...
then I get this:
(ruu2.jpg)
Im now stuck with a warning logo and a small traiangle in each corner of the screen.
When I unplug the desire I get a white screen with the following:
Code:

RUU
Main Version is Older!
Update Fail!
I cant get into recovery anymore
adb doesnt see the phone.
The only access I have to it is via fastboot.exe.
Any ideas? As I gotta get it back to stock - its being picked up in the morning to go back for warenty repairs!
Cheers!
*Edit*
My CID is O2__001
installing RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed fails with:
ERROR[131]:CUSTOMER ID ERROR
Totally stuck here I think...
Yes sir. I had an RUU file that did the exact same thing to my phone (bricked it). The RUU was an incomplete file and would only show the triangles in the 4 corners or boot loader with ruu as the only option. I had to look for a froto ruu of 2.2 and run it. As I'm sending this to you from that very same phone which was rooted again with unrevoked since I was back to froyo, you can see there is hope. I'm trying to remember the link to the ruu. I'm at work right now or I would attach the direct link to the working ruu for you. I'm looking into it for ya as we speak though.

Thank you kind sir, you could just possibly save my life!
Please pardon by botched spelling for I'm not the greatest of scholars. Unfortunately at this time, I'm not about to look for the correct RUU file. But I do kbow this much. Your lokking for an RUU that will downgrade the software to the oldest software that was released to the device. Now, I too must advise you, you will not turn S-on and if you rooted with revolutionary, the water-mark will still be there on your home screen. Those are other "issues" you will also have to "work the kinks out of" before warranty will replace it. Let me know if that doesn't help.

Tried a few RUU's but keep getting a "Customer ID error" on anyversion the same or > what im trying to install.
I've tried this guide:

S-ON
"I'm S-ON, I can't boot recovery, and my phone doesn't boot "
This is a bit of a worse situation, as you cannot flash system critical parts such as the recovery image and just restore a backup. This unfortunately means that you will lose all of your data when you attempt to fix the phone.
[STEP1]- Make sure that you have a goldcard. If not, create one from the tutorial.
[STEP2]- Battery pull. Hold the BACK button and the POWER button to boot into FASTBOOT mode.
[STEP3]- Download the latest WWE RUU from here
[STEP4]- Run the RUU and wait for completion WARNING: DO NOT, BY ANY CIRCUMSTANCES INTERRUPT THE PROCESS - THIS WILL MORE THAN LIKELY END UP WITH A BRICKED PHONE - NOT EVEN IF GOD HIMSELF TELLS YOU TO DO SO, OR IF THE US PRESIDENT THREATENS YOU WITH THERMO-NUCLEAR WAR
[STEP5]- Once the phone is booted, you are now returned completely to stock. You will need to re-root again, and I'd recommend S-OFF

Well thats me properly ****ed.
Can find any way of reading the CID of a card. The app someone linked to doesnt work on a laptop with inbuilt on pci card reader - no in a PC with a hub.
I wonder how much these HTC bastards will want to charge me to have the motherboard replaced (rebooting under charging) and reflashing the device.
You would've thought someone would have come up with a better solution for finding a SD cards CID.
What exactly do you mean by this:

Sadly not. I work with nothing but iPhone users.
The courier has picked it up now to send back to HTC for the rebooting issue. Lets see how much they try and rape me for this...
Had a result!
Checked the HTC repair tracking site to see my phones on its way back to me today! I thought I'd give them a call to get more details.
I was told the mainboard was indeed faulty so was replaced, phone now fully functional - and all under warrenty!
Can't wait to get it back to root it again...

Help HTC Desire HD Vodafone (stuck): flashing custom rom after unlocking bootloader

Hi,
I need your kind advice in fixing my issue. I have DHD Vodafone 3.13.161.3 GB 2.3.5.
I unlocked the phone using HTC official method, phone got restored to factory default and I tried to flash a custom rom without knowing that I need to change the CID.
The phone starts but get stuck on HTC logo, I have EXT4 recovery installed already.
Tried wiping and factory reset but it seems that its of no use. I can boot to hboot, it says unlocked (highlighted) and s-on.
I did try to make a goldcard, put the sdcard in another phone and used the goldcard helper app then went to the site and submitted the CID and downloaded the image and followed the steps.
(got mmc0 and mmc1, I took mmc1 by manually writting it)
I copied another official rom PD98IMG.ZIP downloaded from the net for WWE and ARA versions copied them to SDcard and got into hboot but after loading it says wrong image and goes back to hboot.
I deseparate to get it fixed, would you plz provide some guidance on how to fix it since I was not able to get Vodafone RUU or any other mechanism to fix!
Appreciate your assistance and efforts..

If you unlocked from HTCdev you have to flash kernel in fast boot rename boot.IMG to pd98img.zip and accept update. Then remove or rename to pd98img.zip.bak so it doesn't keep updating. It's because of s-on you should be able to downgrade hboot and s-off.

Thanks for your response Sammael,
Just some background info about my case:
I have DHD from Vodafone UK which was on the latest rom from Vodafone 2.3.5, I did bootloader unlock using HTCDev then flashed Ext4 recovery.
I tried flashing a custom rooted rom based on WWE version using the recovery mode (install zip from sdcard) after which I got the phone stuck on HTC logo screen everytime I try to power it on.
I tried using WWE RUUs with fastboot usb but got err155, I downloaded Vodafone PD98IMG.zip from that was uploaded by a guy in another forum but copying it to the sdcard and loading it using hboot gave me wrong image/rom message. I tried running WWE RUU then copying the PD98IMG.zip to the temp folder and renaming it to rom.zip after deleting the original rom.zip but again I got err155.
I need at least to get back on Vodafone stock rom and fix the problem, I am not sure if I need to relock the bootloader and if I must flash back the stock recovery.
Can anyone help with this as I have been trying different options for the last 4 days and all the tools that were mentioned need to have a functional phone to do usb debugging and charge only mode!

First will cover the obvious you should have unlocked via HTC dev. The hack kit is the way to go about things
Now for the fix.
Download a custom rom on PC, have androidsdk setup
Boot into recovery and reinstall your custom from.(remember to full wipe).
Once complete plug phone into PC and run adb reboot bootloader.
Once in boot loader select fast boot if its not already selected.(should read fast boot USB)
Now in the custom rom you download open it and take out the boot.img and put it wherever you have adb/fast boot folders
Then type the command
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot reboot
You will have to do this every time you flash a new rom, since you HTC dev unlocked. I would search into relocking boot loader and using the hack kit

I haven't been able to find the newest ruu for your branded device. Best I can say is keep looking. But if you can't find it your going to have to flash a from how I suggested to get a working phone.
Or maybe wait and see if anyone has other ideas to try

Did you try getting S-OFF via the Advanced Ace Hack Kit? I got a Vodafone DHD on release in Aus and was prompted to make a gold card, eventually managed S-OFF without one.
You get the main version older because your son. And you get the failed remote because your relocked the bootloader. Personally at this point I would unlock the boat loader again, flash cwr then a from and then its boot.img to get a working phone. Then if the pd98img/ruu that you need comes available go back and root properly. But for now I would say to at least get it in a useable state

Hi marsdta,
Thanks again. Just a quick clarification, which boot.img do you suggest I should flash after unlocking the bootloader and flashing cwm?

Depends on what rom you want to install.
So let's say you want to flash cm. Download the rom on your pc. Place a copy of it on your SD card as well. Boot into cwr and flash as usual. Once complete boot into the boot loader.(using adb reboot boatlader is convenient, but you could do it manually by pulley battery and powering up with volume down+power button)
Then take out the boot.img of cm zip and flash as you tried earlier(fastboot flash boot boot.img)
Then reboot phone

I need to preface this by saying I'm a total noob when it comes to rooting, customizing, etc. I've spent the better part of two days reading, doing and failing and I've basically exhausted my abilities and desperately need some help getting my Desire HD back up and running. I apologize in advance for this wall of text.
Here's everything I've done:
1. Went through the HTCDev bootloader process to unlock my phone. HBOOT status: *** UNLOCKED ***
​a. This involved whiping the phone and downgrading
2. Installed ClockworkMod
3. Through CWM, backed up current state which was basically factory reset
4. Tried to flash Blackout. It failed with a file_write error.
5. Tried to flash Jelly Time which didn't work either. Just hung at white HTC screen.
6. Restored backup and started Googling.
7. Eventually noticed that my phone was still S-ON, which seemed to be an issue. Read that I should try Advanced Ace Hack Kit utility.
8. Found out AAHK needed to start in locked state. Relocked bootloader (fastboot oem lock). HBOOT status: *** RELOCKED ***
9. Tried to run AAHK, it failed with a bunch of errors. I realized that I still had ClockworkMod as my recovery so I went on a hunt to try to get back to stock.
10. Tried rerunning the downgrade RUU from the HTCDev process but it failed with some error (I think it was model ID or something).
11. Tried hunting around for other stock Telus RUUs, but they also failed to install with errors. (I should probably have noted them).
12. As a last ditch, I tried to use the AAHK utility to return to stock. It seemed to be working, but then went back to the main menu after a couple minutes and I didn't get to see any errors. The phone remained at the black HTC screen until I rebooted it manually.
13. Phone hung at white HTC screen.
14. Went back into CWM, wiped and tried to restore
15. Phone hangs at white HTC screen.
This is where I am currently. I still have CWM installed instead of stock recovery. My current HBOOT is
Code:
ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-0.85.0024
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.10.04.03_M
eMMC-boot
Apr 12 2011, 00:55:45
It doesn't mention anything about locked, unlocked, relocked.
I can't get into the phone, so I'm guessing I have to do everything through fastboot at the moment. I have no idea what to do at this point, so I hope I've included enough details for you folks to diagnose my problems.
I contemplated unlocking the bootloader again and trying the restore from CWM, but I figured I've done enough damage and now it's time to ask the experts.
Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide!
Poor dude...custom ROM install gone wrong
I recommend trying the HTCDev root process again with the bin file you got from HTCDev website, if that works you should be able to restore your insatll from CWM and atleast have a working phone. I remember that working.

The reason why it would hang at the HTC screen is because you failed to flash the boot.img. this has to be done seperately . Now to get a working phone you need to run an ruu. If you could run this from fast boot so we know which to run.
Fastboot getvar all
Well need cid and software version

Perfect. All you need to do is flash the telus ruu or pd98img if you have a card reader. You can follow my guide for a step by step if needed. It also has links for the files you need.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396229
Also if you want you can run these commands to flash the pd98img without a card reader. Been meaning to add this method to the guide.
So you can download the telus pd98img zip and place it in your fast boot folder.
Then run fastboot OEM rebootRUU
then fastboot flash zip PD98IMG.zip
Usually the ruu method is the easiest (one in my guide) but goo host file server can be finicky and might be faster to download the pd98 zip
Thanks for the advice. I followed your second steps and used fastboot to flash the zip.
Everything went fine, there were no errors in the command prompt and it finished with "OKAY". The problem is that my phone is stuck at the black HTC screen and the green progress bar is around 95% complete. Is everything ok? Do I just run "fastboot reboot" now?
When this is done, will I be back to stock recovery as well, or will I still have ClockworkMod? I'm hoping for stock recovery, so if this process won't do it, do you know how?
Thanks again for the help!
Go ahead and fast boot reboot. This will give you everything stock like new in box software
Thanks so much! Phone's back up and running and I've updated back to where I was before I started all this.
Now... my curiosity is back. Am I safe to try AAHK again now that I'm back to stock? I feel like I'm playing with fire!
Yes you can run the kit. It gave issues last because of the unlocking and cwm flashing. But now that you are bone stock its good to go. With a correct setup you should be rooted in 5min

Nice! I'll give it a whirl in a little bit.
Out of curiosity, what's the point of the HTCDev bootloader unlock process if it leaves you in S-ON and you can't flash roms? Or am I mistaken and just messed up?

I didn't read the whole thread but the htc dev method uses a different flashing procedure than s-off - requires more steps. You probably messed up somewhere. However, if you can get s-off that is what we recommend.

Are you S-OFF and rooted with the Hack Kit or have an unlocked bootloader? What rom did you flash? Have you done a full wipe before flashing?

My friend told me he was performing an Update and after that it didn't come up.
If i try to use the recovery mode it gives an error even if i dont touch any thing (except volup + down + power) E: Can't open /cache/recover/command.
I thought if i could get an update.zip and could update via "Apply update from SDCARD"

That is why you are stuck.You are not S-OFF nor Unlocked, so it will be impossible to write partitions in that state. Flash a RUU and that will fix the problem or unlock the bootloader, flash CWM recovery and then a custom rom. That is up to you...

Hi, thanks for that,
The question is which RUU.
I found this HOW2 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841890 I need to do whats written there right but they say i need a gold card for RUU flashing?
If that will work would be perfekt!

Do not use that, I will guide you on how to do it. You can do the following, create a goldcard and then flash an unbranded RUU for your CID number. The fact is that for creating a goldcard you need a working android device. Do you have another device?

Hello Thanks for your messages. I searched severals RUUs but none of them worked, it says Imageversion 3.13.161.5 and Error [132]: signature error
Any Idea?

I also tried loading the rom.zip into the SD card naming it as pd98img.zip. The phone recognized it checks it but than returns back to the fastboot menu!

That is because that RUU's seems not be for your device. Even flashing them as PD98IMG won't work if those RUUs do not match your CID. If you have another android working device I can help you create a goldcard, if not I guess the best is to unlock bootloader and then get a custom rom...
If it is alright with you I can help you over teamviewer...

Use this to create the goldcard...be cautious on how you do that to avoid corrupting the sdcard:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970157
Once you have patched the sdcard, without dismounting it, put a RUU in there and name it PD98IMG.zip, then boot in bootloader and wait until you are prompted to update.
And if you are a bit lost, download this: http://www.teamviewer.com and I can connect to your PC to lend you a hand.

Hi, i tried what you told me to do. with the The programm crashed at point 5 so i used this german side http://www.pocketpc.ch/htc-desire-hd-root-rom/111867-anleitung-desire-hd-goldcard-erstellen.html to create an gold card. but the wired thing is, that the http://psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard wants to get the cid not the reversed cid.
But all in all after I created that gold card with hex editor, and putting the ruu as pd98img.zip on the SD. The bootloader was loading the *.zip and checking the zip and without error or anything else it just got back to the bootloader.

If you are S-OFF, put a custom rom in the sdcard, boot in recovery and flash it. That will sort it out.

Having troubles unlock bootloader

Hi guys, I´ve bought a DHD, it is my third DHD and the first with troubles. I always did the job using the instructions on htcdev website, but this time it stucks.
The problem? My DHD is a vodafone branded, software number 3.13.161.5 at the htcdev site they dont offer this RUU, only the 3.13.161.3 and of course it won´t work.
In the fastboot menu I got following infos...
ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT 2.00.0027
RADIO 26.14.52.27
eMMC-boot
does anyone got this appropriate RUU to download so I can do the job, or can it be done on some other way, but please as easy as possible
Thanks

In htcdev site it says:
"NOTE: If you do not find your ROM version in the table below, and your ROM version is newer, then your device does not require the RUU. Please bypass these steps and continue to the next page."
Because you have newer hboot, just go to next page.
If you whant to get full unlocked bootloader S-off you can use AAHK2 by Phiber2000.

But it's a little complicated.
Thank you for your reply, but I tried this already, and it wont work. Maybe because my HBOOT is 0027??? I´d rather not to perform a S-off cause I never did it before...
I open the CMD and type fastboot oem_get_identifier_token and the result is : ... INFO(ERR) Command error!!!

Download that UK hboot from HTC dev, start ruu, find in temp rom.zip (or boot.zip, something like that), rename it to PD98IMG.zip, put it on a goldcard, go in hboot and flash it.
Or you can download the whole rom here:
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Ace
And the steps are the same.
When you downgrade it with whole ROM just run ruu form htcdev. You don't have to do it with goldcard.
Here is what I did... I download the UK 3.13.161.3 from htcdev found it in temp folder rename it and put it on my sdcard, because I couldn´t find a tutorial how to make a goldcard. Then I went to bootloader and the phone asked me do I want to flash it i choosed yes and the phone restarted. Than I run the RUU but I got the ERROR (191) ROM IS NOT SUPPORTED
EDIT:
I noticed that my bootloader says nov LOCKED so I try again reading the token and I got it, but after pasting the token htcdev gave me following message:
Unlocking Bootloader Failed!
Sorry it didn't work out. Here's why:
Required Resources
Please make sure all items are installed and up to date.
We're sorry, but it appears your attempt to unlock the bootloader on this device has failed. This could be caused by several factors including simple errors in the entry of the unlock token, problems with your device, or a lack of manufacturer support for the unlocking process. Please see the specific error code listed below, and try again if necessary.
Error Code: Invalid Bootloader Token Length.
Error Reason: The submitted Token appears to be the wrong length and won't work.

You can install HTC Europe + it's world wide (but it's litle older):
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_225512_signed.exe
Or latest for europe (turkey version):
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_227499_signed.exe
In some thread I was read that even people from US install it.
Yes, whenever you downgradeing rom or hboot or whant to install rom whitch is not for your CID on locked hboot you have to use goldcard.
You get error 191 because you are trying to downgrade on locked hboot.
To make a goldcard:
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-make-gold-card-for-htc-desire-hd/
(4. Go to this page, enter the reverse CID)
Because this page not working here is new one:
http://huygens.hoxnet.com/goldcard.html
Thank you very much, I did it. I just put the ROM.zip found in the temp folder on my sd card, renamed. Then went to bootloader it asked me to whether to flash or not. and than I could get my token...
