Desire HD S-OFF help - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
a friend of mine has HTC Desire HD but it stucks on the HTC boot logo. I tried to go into recovery but it does not have any custome recovery only Hboot. It says it is S-On. Now, the problem is, I have s-unlocked and rooted many phones. But, for unlocking boot loader, almost all the procedures i found requires enabling usb debugging mode from settings...but since the phone does not even start the OS...how can I do that? So, any idea how to unlock the boot loader when there is no custom recovery or os working on the phone?
Thanks.

As far as I know, you unlock the bootloader from fastboot, not ADB.

Well the Ruu files are here but you have to know which one to use for your phone depending on carrier and where you live I believe

I used this guide for my Telus Desire HD: http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f66...-os-s-off-change-imei-cid-hxc-dongle-1548982/
I couldn't get the token from HTC until I upgraded to 2.00.0029 from .27.

please help me,my phone is dead for like 2weeks and no answer i have got from anywhere,(
Ok, i wil help you as much as i can and to be honest if you follow the instructions you will most likely get over the problem because your phone is like any other Desire HD in the world.
Follow the steps in the thread here to get S-OFF, then flash clockworkmod from here. You're pretty much done....then you can flash a radio according to the rom you select and enjoy !

Do you know what software version you were on or have your phones ruu version. Branded/unbranded?
Did you try flashing the ruu from hboot?

Wait, can you access Clockworkmod? or is it stock recovery?
i can access the clockworkmod recovery v4.0.1.4 (ACE HACK KIT)
i even flashed another rom but they dont boot up!they stuck at the HTC.
i already did factory reset and wipe cache everytime before installation...
That version of recovery is old. The kit flashes 5.0.2.7 I believe. So you must have used an old version and that where the problem came from. Ok so your branded. Do you know to what carrier? What country?

i bought the phone from india and and bout the carrier i realli dont knw what do u mean...my phone just shows htc and there is no extra app in it, i mean from any provider. what should i do now?
this is the one indian RUU i found. I know there is a fastboot command to get phone information an that will tell us exactly what version you have. (makes it easier to search) but in the mean time try this one.

boot your phone into hboot and mast sure fastboot is selected. plug in your phone to pc and run the RUU

You need to be on a stock rom to use the HAck Kit to gain S-OFF. Try flashing a stock rom and then run the Hack kit.

If the phone is S-ON, then technically it's not rooted. Search for the latest AAHK thread and follow it. It explains that first you need to downgrade and then your phone becomes rooted and hence S-off.

First of all, go here and download the hack kit:

And before doing nothing, read the manual and ask if you have some doubts.

Guys, he has an unlocked bootloader and is running a custom rom. The Hack Kit only works with locked bootloaders (as RUU´s do) and stock rom. So, he first needs to revert to a stock rom, relock the bootloader and then use the Hack Kit.
Running the Hack Kit from a custom rom will get him stuck...

Exactly, I have rooted and already got a custom rom on it, It just not S-OFF, so I need to set S-OFF, at least please tell me how to lock the bootloader back, so I can use hack kit to root and s off again. I tried with RUU to restore but RUU also failed. Right now I'm so screwed up, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Ok, the first you need is to find if there is a RUU for your phone. You need to find the CID number of your phone and then see if there is a ruu that matches that. Was your phone branded to a carrier? If there is no RUU for your phone, then you will have to create a goldcard to be able to flash another RUU to revert to stock.
Once you get the ruu, you need to relock the bootloader in order to flash that RUU, by booting in fastboot usb (boot in hboot and plug the phone, if HBOOT USB PLUG is highlighted in blue, just press power to toggle to fastboot usb). Open a cmd as admin in the pc and type:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then check that your bootloader says *RELOCKED* at the top left corner. Then in fastboot usb, just run the RUU. When you are done, you can run the Hack Kit.
If you need further help, just let me know.

Thanks for the great replay,
I'm not sure if it was branded, cos I got it from my cousin and when I get from him, it was rooted and had a custom rom with it. Then after I got it I tried to install JellyTime and failed, then tried to flash with this RUU (RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_WWE_3.12.405.1_Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_225512_signed), then it also failed.
Then later I was able to install never version of ClockworkMod recovery and installed Blackout ICS incredible, and I also made a gold card. now my SD is a gold card. after I installed Blackout ICS incredible, phone works ok now, but I have no Wi-Fi, I think the wifi not work because it's S-ON.
I tried to S-OFF all the way possible but I was not able to do that. And I can only get internet to phone with mobile network or Internet Passthrough from Windows.
Now I'm gonna try the way you explained here and lets see if I get any success, and please let me know if any other solution out there, cos I really need Wi-Fi on this
Thanks again!!!! :good:
THANKS glevitan, THANKS TO YOU I FIXED MY PROBLEM, I INSTALLED JellyTime AGAIN AND Wi-Fi ALSO WORKING NOW!!!

[Q] Unlock HTC Dev fastboot error while Hboot correct version

Hi all,
I am trying to root my stock HTC desire HD phone using the HTC easy unlock bootloader tool (also tried directly from HTCdev and easy ace root tool).
I get stucked right in the beginning: when trying to get my unlock token i get an error:
[ERR] Command error
I am on build 3.12.405.2
I am on HBOOT 2.00.0027
While searching for a solution I found out that there might be a problem with the HBOOT version (although version above 2.00. should be working, isnt't?), so I tried to update HBOOT. Tried updating with RUU, which gave an error that i was on version 3.12.405.2, while i should have been on version 3.12.405.1, so than I extracted PD98IMG.zip from the .exe and have put it on the root of my SD card, booted in Bootloader, but no update occured.
Now I am stucked and have no idea what to do next,
- should i still update my HBOOT and if so, how??
- is HBOOT not the problem and is there another solution?
Please help, thanks a lot,
xx LittleGirl

The best is to create a goldcard and flash a RUU with a main version supported by HTCDEV. Then update the hboot and finally unlock the bootloader.

Hi All,
finally figured it out:
Fist update your HBOOT 2.00.0027 to 2.00.0029 following the small part in this link: http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f66...-os-s-off-change-imei-cid-hxc-dongle-1548982/
after that: you can continue with unlocking trough HCTdev, than flash clockworkmod recovery, than activate superuser and than go on however you want! (i installed the rom manager app)

thanks a lot Glevitan, i was hoping a would get an answer from you . Eventually i didn't need to create a goldcard, just updating HBOOT using the link in my post above was enough to be able to continue!

That is just fine. But not for everyone..you gain tempo root to downgrade the main version and then flash GB rom. That is a nice move. :laugh:

I think you mean downgrade. I don't think you can downgrade you hboot. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I mean back to stock without facing issues with bootloader unlocked
Or if I can upgrade my bootloader
My concern is to flash Rom
The mistake u made causing all this mess is I choose relocked option from ahkit
But it does not shows any on screen message to select relock
However my observation is its only a single thing I am missing
After relock I tried to unlock but err failed message
Can fastboot flash recovery either
And additionally can't proceed with anything other then receiving error signature failed
Some one please direct me towards right direction.....

I don't get what you are trying to do, but if are already unlocked I don't get how you still have 0027 hboot version. Use the links in my signature to find out what the procedure is...
please have a look
also my software build is the higher one(3.13.161.5) i cant find any update at htc developers web
however as i mentioned before you can clearly see the one in attached image
unlocked one is the one i asked you last time to fastboot flash boot image it was originally on orange but left one is on vodafone uk

i tried to use the old unlock bin which i generated when i unlocked it via htc developers web (putting in unlock folder)
tried to install via htc developers as well
no luck in root tool, easy unlock tool, ahc tool
i cant understand why this erorr comes every time

Seems that your build version is not supported to update the hboot. You need to create a goldcard and flash a supported RUU first.
I have xtc clip with me
Gold card will be done but which correct ruu...? :banghead:

Desire HD bootloop

Hello everyone ,
So here's my problem, I have a Desire HD, no root and bootloader locked, the problem is that my HTC doens't turn on, it's stuck on the HTC logo screen. I have tried nearly all the possible solutions before opening this thread; the Hboot, Fastboot and default recovery are working just fine which means it's probably an Android software problem. I tried to use the official RUU, didn't work, tried to unlock the bootloader with HTCdev to flash a custom recovery, didn't work since i have to update the Hboot and can't use the RUU. Anyone has any possible solution to this problem?
