I NEED Help Guys !!! - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello Genius Friends,
I just bought a New HTC Desire HD but it says in phone Identity it is HTC Inspire(tm) 4G with Android OS 2.3.3 and HTC sense version 2.1
I have been roaming around the xda forums and its so confusing . what to do and what not to do
I basically just want my HTC DHD or HTC inspire tm 4G ..( whatever it is) to be upgraded from 2.3.3 ginger bread to 4.04 Ice Cream Sandwich .
my phone is S-Off .. I can go to HBOOT thing by pressing power and vol-down key . but not rooted plus I have a feeling its from AT&T as it has some apps from AT&T (like AT&T code scanner, AT&T family Map, AT&T navigator, etc.. )
Can anyone tell me how can I upgrade my phone OS, I heard HTC has announced ice cream sandwich but I came to know it isnt available in my country yet !!
Hoping for Help .....

There is no OFFICIAL ICS UPDATE for HTC Desire HD/Inspire 4G, HTC canceled their plan.
There are UNOFFICIAL Android 4.x build. To ugrade, i can't help, but searching and reading forum rules will help you.
Reported to Moderators, hope they will close this theard or move it to General section.

have you custom recovery?
go to bootloader and then to recovery. if you hace clockworldmod recovery (or 4ext rcovery) it´s so easy to get ICS or JB running in your phone

No my phone isnt rooted its just s-off ... i copied clockworldmod rocovery.zip file in my sd card and turned phone off and then went into hboot >recovery ... phone gets restarted and and then it just display a phone with red exclamation mark !! END OF THE STORY !!!
I know that before to upgrade to ICS or JB i need to root with those custom recovery roms
What should I do I m such a NOOB

you need:
htc drivers https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/55810636/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe
download this and extract in c: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/55810636/Recovery.zip
install drivers whith your phone umplugged
plug the phone in charge mode and usb debugging enabled (settings/developer options)
let the drivers install
open cmd and write
cd c:\recovery\
adb reboot bootloader (your phone will reboot)
fastboot flash recovery ext4.img
fastboot reboot
if everything its ok you have now 4ext recovery installed
Download the Rom of your choice, put it in the sd, reboot in recovery, full wipe and flash the Rom

Well, you haven't installed a recovery. Placing it on the SD card does not install it. You need to find a recovery.img (not zip) and flash it from fastboot. What you are seeing is the stock recovery.

Quite honestly, if the Easy Ace Root Kit isn't user-friendly enough for you, you are going to have a rough ride. It automates something that is usually done manually (unlock bootloader, flash recovery, flash root), and that procedure is the easier of two (the other being getting S-Off).
As for the splash screen, read my signature.

@Pasculas and @bananagranola : yes bro I did that many times with AOS roms for HD in this community and got seriously bad luck, or either those roms have problems, before this phone i had WFS and i successfully updated to ICS from a rom available in this community; anyways this morning I found a ATT RUU gingerbread ..... (it was a big big name ) so i just installed it and THanks Fully it returned me back to 2.3.3 .... I wish i could atleast had 2.3.5 but all the Rooting and unlocking bootloader went off ! my phone is again only S-OFF .
In a mixed and sad emotion

I'm so confused. Are you S-Off or is your bootloader unlocked? You can't be both. If you are S-Off with no recovery just flash a recovery.img from fastboot.

@bananagranola : When i purchased this phone it is s-off but wasnt rooted .. so i tried to root it by copying the clockwork rom in sd card and then to boot loader >recovery , didnt resulted in anything .. then after few attempts i found that easy ace root tool kit and went for option 1 .. and Finally got bootlocker unlocked and updated to 2.5**** (something something), cwm recovery and Rooted ... then i went for upgrading for jelly bean rom and after that i was crying what the F**K i did to my phone and TIME !!
but something i noticed that my phone is s-off but after rooting with Easy Ace Root Kit , the phone boot loader showed unlocked highlighted with pink !

Okay. First. ClockworkMod is not a ROM, it is a recovery. Second. You do not install a recovery by putting it on your SD card. Third. You install a recovery by flashing a img file from fastboot. Fourth. What does your hboot say, exactly, right now?

Ahan ...

booting problem after flashing with S-on

So i decided to finally install a custom rom on my desire hd after the news hit that it wouldn't be receiving the ice cream goodness.
Having never done so before, I followed a guide from team android to install jellybean. I flashed it fully according to the guide but the phone can't get past the boot screen anymore. It just hangs there indefinitely.
Now after reading a few threads here on xda developers i think the problem lies in me not having disabled the "s"(security?).
The flashing(and wiping) has been done with clockworkmod recovery. Though i never used the backup feature.
So now i'm sitting here with a phone that wont boot and have no backup of the previous system. I can boot into recovery, fastboot, etc.
Is there any way to fix the desire hd as in getting a s-off without booting to android? Or is it basically bricked without the right rom?

Ok, You will have to flash an official Ruu for your device. If You have unlocked the bootloader with htcdev tool You have to relock it. Find the Cid number of your cell and I will help You to find a proper Ruu.
Sorry to ask but what is a cid number and where can I find it?
Thanks for helping!
Found it!
cid: HTC__E11

Good. I am sending you a private message with information....:laugh:

unlockroot.com the new solution to hacking Desire HD?

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
Android version: 2.3.3
HTC sense: 2.1
Kernel : 2.6.35.10-gd2564fb, [email protected]#1

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!

[Q] HTC Wildfire S (marvelc) - Bricked need a little assistance

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.

Well I was able to get the phone to reboot by Fastboot flashing after extracting the rom.zip from the

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

Being new does not excuse you from using the search engine. That is part of what you agreed when you signed to XDA.
From today, the only way to root the device is to unlock the bootloader with HTCDEV and then flash CWM and SU. Hack Kit was retired 10 minutes ago.
I also tried to free my Desire HD with 2.3.5 last minute, but came too late.
Every thing sat up fine but downgrade ruu download failed naturally.
Can I also use UMT to simplify the process?
Can you give us more detail glevitan on the other method?
I've been trying to get the acekit to work by trying to source a PD98IMG-GB2 ROM but I am hitting a brick wall. I can't seem find the downgrade file anywhere.
Thanks
Look in his signature. There's a guide linked.
If I use HTC Dev/HTC Easy Unlock Tool to unlock (set S-OFF)...
Can I then follow the steps describes under 14 d) S-OFF no custom recovery?
Can I then flash an ROM out of CWM or do I need to get root first?
Sorry if I'm a bit stubborn.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31211732&postcount=396
I think this hits my request, but leaves me with an half locked bootloader, so I have to flash boot.img each time I flash an custom ROM. Meh.
Is that correct?

I think this hits my request, but leaves me with an half locked bootloader, so I have to flash boot.img each time I flash an custom ROM. Meh.
Is that correct?

You can't get S-Off with HTCDEV. You can only unlock the bootloader. Then, you still need to flash a recovery. You don't need to root if you're installing a custom ROM from recovery. You will need to fastboot flash a boot.img if you flash a custom ROM.
more a self-note:

I think that will do it for me. But I would do a nandroid backup in recovery, then flash the boot.img and then install the rom.zip.
Is it possible to directly flash CWM with touch?
If u bought it before that guy said it retired 10 mins ago use AAHK

AAHK was never sold. It was free and freely supported until it was retired this morning.
Yes. Download the image file from www.clockworkmod.com and flash it in fastboot
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

Being new does not excuse you from using the search engine. That is part of what you agreed when you signed to XDA.
From today, the only way to root the device is to unlock the bootloader with HTCDEV and then flash CWM and SU. Hack Kit was retired 10 minutes ago.

When did you do this? AAHK is retired and therefore no longer supported as of this morning. What happened? What state was your phone in before you started? What did you do? What did AAHK say? What does the bootloader say now? How long does it take to get into the bootloader?

You were supposed to run it twice, once to downgrade and once to S-Off, not try to flash a ROM after just the downgrade...anyway. If your phone still works find just unlock the bootloader, since AAHK is retired.
I'm a new man of xda. I come here to look for the best newest ROM.

Everyone has different needs and every phone has its quirks. Just try them out for yourself.

Then I recommend that before hijacking someonelse's thread, you read and follow the rules. There is no best rom...if you want to find out, flash them all and get you conclusions.

[Q] HTC Desire HD won't boot after an rooting-attempt

Hello everyone,
I have recently tried to root my phone (HTC Desire HD, no branding, bought in Germany) and it appears that I have messed it all up. I tried to root it using hack-ace.cmd. What first happened is, sinc my phone was running the latest stock ROM (2.3.5) the Hack-ace.cmd said this Android Version can't be rooted and therefore must be downgraded... And so it did downgrade... The phone started up as normal with the new (old) Android-Version. Then I ran the root thing one more time, it said root was complete but my phone still said S-On. Having said that, it seems that the rooting wasn't successful... This not being such a tragedy for me, I gave up the whole deal with rooting or installing custom rooms and all that... But here it comes... My phone won't boot at all anymore. I can manage to get in the Recovery Mode ( vol. down + power button) and I get the options Fastboot, Recovery, Factory Reset etc.. However, none of it works. When I select Recovery or Factory Reset the HTC Logo shows up, fades out and the only thing I can see is the backlight on a black background. Forever. Can this be fixed somehow, I've tried a RSS.exe with the latest android for my phone but I suppose it needs to be booted in at least some other Android to get the job done. It tells me phone not detected.
For your help I'll be very thankfull!
Like the AAHK website clearly states, it is retired. The files it needs to use to downgrade are no longer hosted on the AAHK server. Is your bootloader very slow? If not, you could try running a compatible 2.3.5 RUU to put your phone back to the way it was. You could also try to root with the Easy Ace Root Tool if you still want root. If your bootloader is very slow, look for the IAMADUMBASS fix on the AAHK website.

Thank you for your answer... I tried going over the IAMADUMBASS (very catchy name), which didn't solve my problem, since I couldnt get the command prompt to find my phone, but then it made me realise the difference between fastboot and the other option was... so i ran the RUU in fastboot mode and the ROM got restored, so it is now all perfect!
Urgent help needed
