Help with hacking HTC Radar factory unlocked - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hey guys
I have brought a HTC radar and I have read that you can •jailbreak• the phone giving access to paid apps ECT
I would like more detailed help or a step by step for a successful unlock
I have found a custom rom id like to install but I am only experienced with android and iPhones
hope I find luck somewhere
Thank you
Mike

make sure you got the right radio.
To root(jailbreak) the phone, put if off, then that it up while holding Power button and both volum button, hook up to pc and run the custom rom program

How do I go about checking the radio ???
Does it have to be the same for the rom ? I wanted to flash
dynamics hd20 ?? are all the bootloaders already unlocked ???

Desire HD can't get into bootloader

Greetings,
I am wondering if anyone has experienced an issue where it's impossible to get the phone to go into bootloader with the Volume - and Power Buttons. My DHD just boots up. I'm on Desire Revolution ROM 2.0.1 with S-Off. The only way I can get into bootloader is with adb.
Am I using the wrong button combinations? I've only had the phone for a few days and I assumed the way to get into bootloader would be the same as my Nexus One.
Maybe someone could point me in the right direction if I'm doing something obviously stupid
That is the correct button combination. Are you pressing them at the same time or do you hold Volume Down then press power?

restart the phone
when the capacitive buttons light is off immediately press and hold volume - button and keep holding until device is in bootloader
cheers
Also remember that your DHD doesn't actually turn off when you turn it off. You need to disable HTC FastBoot, Settings > Applications > Untick "FastBoot".
Andy,
That fixed the problem. Thank you very much.
Thanks! that did the trick for me 2!!

Try removing the battery for a minute. Then volume down + power button.
Was it rooted? Go into the rom first and uncheck fastboot. Settings, power.

If it's not where I mentioned it would be, then see if you can find it somewhere else. Just uncheck fastboot.

In what state is your phone at the moment?
If you had adb enabled install.android-sdk and propper drivers then turn on phone and connect it to pc/laptop and try to reboot it in bootloader through adb .
This only works if:
1. Your phone has adb debugging ennabled
2. Your pc can see the device attached (command: adb devices)
Hope this helps

[Q] Bricked DHD - can't access hboot or anything else

Hi all,
i got my hand on bricked Desire HD which seemes to be stucked in sw update loop.
The story goes like this:
Owner of this DHD got notification that ROM update is available ("the official one")
He choose to update it and aparently he did "everything by the book"
After 1st reboot it got to the update loading screen which stuck on aproximatly 30% and didn't move a bit. what he did after, i don't know.
The problem is:
when connected to charge it turns on after a few min. and goes to the loop
after removing battery and connecting it to charger it does it again
But the biggest problem is that when you hold vol down + power button just before phone turns on (after removing battery, returning battery and connecting to charger) it doesn't go to HBOOT but just goes to dam update loop
Can anyone help please, the image of stuck screen is in the attachment of this thread
Can anyone help please
Did anything similar happened to anyone else?
Update maybe corrupted. Take sdcard to pc and remove update.zip from sdcard or format it, if phone included with sdcard. Try boot phone with power and vol+ press down without sdcard?.
Try flash phone PD98IMG.zip "download newest RUU, open it and go to temp folder "C:\Users\****\AppData\Local\Temp\{EFF37DC5-1DC7-478F-B64E-447807C64D80}\{50F2F878-636A-496F-A7CB-544C067E0C4B} in windows 7", find rom.zip, rename it PD98IMG.zip, put it into sdcard root, boot phone with power and vol- press down".
You can correct me if i was wrong on this matter

Thank you for replying but i already tried every methot to enter hoboot or fastboot with or without sd card nor with stock PD98img.zip on the sdcard
Today i found out that this phone is example model and is labeld E30183
Hi,
by holding vol up + power button phone vibrates 3 times and turns on led(green on my Desire and orange on desire HD) i presume that this is some kind of programing interface because my PC reckognized device as a qualcom cdma technologies msm device.
I can't find correct driver or any info with which app should i connect to device and reflash it.
I have already searched trough this forum so if i missed something please provide link to thread
BIG HELP WOULD BE IF ANYONE KNOWS HOW TO PROGRAM, FLASH OR ANYTHING IN THIS CONNECTION MODE
i GOT TO IT LIKE THIS:
1. i POWERED OFF MY DEVICE
2. PRESS AND HOLD VOL UP
3. PRESSED POWER BUTTON
4. AFTER THIS PHONE VIBRATED 3 TIMES AND NOTIFICATION LED TURNED ON
5. i CONNECTED USB CABLE
6. DESIRE HD WAS DETECTED BY MY PC AND SHOWN IN DEVICE MANAGER JUST LIKE IN ATTACHMENT OF THIS POST
THANK YOU ALL IN ADVANCE
I thought the Desire HD is just like the inspire. Can you volume down and power button at same time to enter hboot without pluggin phone into computer? If so see if its s-off (rooted) or s-on (not rooted). You might be trying to flash a non rooted stock rom on a rooted phone or a rooted rom on a non rooted phone. We are not supposed to accept OTA updates on rooted phones, screws phone up.
Thank you Reinaldo33897 for replying but you did not read carefully my posts!
Look at the image in the 1st post - that is all you can get on this phone and no
1. you can not access hboot or fastboot by pressing vol down + power button,
2. there is no reading update from sdcard
All that you can access on this phone is by pressing vol up + power button after it phone vibrates 3 times and flashes led. Then you can connect phone to pc to be detected.
I presume that this is some programming interface but i need to find driver or some appliction to access either system partitions or console so i can remove/edit script that is preventing me from accessing hboot/fastboot
I have tried every thing - combination - to access any of the functions of this DHD. Unfortunatly nothing worked. If anyone can help or provide link to the solution i'd be wery greatful.
Only way you can connect this phone to PC is to hold volume up and press power button and after it vibrates 3 times and flashing orange led you can connect it to PC to be detected. The phone is visibile as a Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM in device manager. I have read somewhere that this is Qualcom debuging interface but couldn't find any software to connect trough it.
PLEASE IF ANYONE HAS ANY INFORMATION OR SOFTWARE PROVIDE A LINK OR ANYTHING
THANK YOU ALL WERRY MUCH

if i coul'd see it in adb i would easy access to its system trough a console.
to see device in adb or fastboot, device must be in fastboot/bootloader mode or booted
I can't access to any of these
SOLVED
Hi all!
I have solved the problem!
As this was some kind of prototype it had diferent HW and update procedures so it stucked in update loop without any usable interface to program. It had diferent motherboard inside so it took my friends 2 h to connect to it and repair it trough Riff.
If any of you ever get any phone that is not stock by aperance DO NOT TRY TO DO ANY KIND OF UPDATE WITHOUT FINDING ALL THE POSSIBILE INFO ON THAT PHONE. THE WORST THING IS THAT THESE KIND OF THE PHONES HAVE SPECIFIC RADIO IMAGE
I did some experimentations on my old Desire and kept bricking it and only unbickable situation was when i forced wrong radio image. Every other brick combination leaves fastboot interface so it can be fixed
P.S. DO NOT SCREW UP BOOTLOADER AND/OR RADIO
This thread is for closing so forum admin please do so.

I have same problem, but I found a way to go to the bootloader by pressing volume down + power then leave the power button but don't take your finger off the volume down until it boot, but it could takes about 5-10 minute until the device boot, the bad news is the bootloader is not responding, and you can't use
volume buttons or power button to choose anything from the bootloader menu.
Is there any way to recover the phone without using RIFF??
Thanks

You have not bricked your phone....a brick is a brick. If the phone turns on and you can access the bootloader, then you might be able to solve your issue.
In your specific case, you have messed your bootloader up by flashing either ENG S-OFF or a froyo hboot to your GB shipped phone. That can be fixed..takes time but it is fixable...

I suppose it depends on what do you mean by "go into bootloader". Usually PC is not required to start HOV in the bootloader. All you have to do is to hold volume down button pressed while turning on the phone. Please be more specific if this is not what are you trying to do.
Edited: oh sorry for my post, I didn't read all this thread carefully enough. Try searching here, if I do not mistake again I've seen similar issues mentioned already.

Hi Dante,
please can you provide what Operating system the computer you plug the phone into is running, whether you have installed the ADB and Fastboot tools, as well as whether the phone uses a SIM card as well. Also whether you can reboot the phone at all, by pressing the power button.
If you can turn it right off and then turn it on while holding volume down, then write down the HBOOT version and Radio number to provide here as well. If possible find out from your friend what what ROM he was trying to install. The more info you can give us the more specific we can be with the help.
As mentioned earlier it sounds just like a kernel issue. So with this information we should be able to help you easily.

what happen???

Hi all first i want to tell you that i dont have much exp with android flashing and ect. but everything was going good following the instr. and everything was fine whit my HOX and HOX+ now i have m8 and i unlock it with htc devs reboot and everything was just fine then i fastboot reboot it and clicked on recovery (just to make 1 stock) and surprise the phone got stuck on a red exclamation mark
1 holding power button - nothing
2 power button +vol down-nothing
3 power button +vol up-nothing
4 power +up+down(just in case ) nothing
5 connecting whit USB the PC i get the sound that its connected but in fastboot and adb i get no devices i got pissed off so i went for coffe and cigar when i get back the phone was ok and running alive (o and i removed the SD card and SIM before going for coffe and cigar ) so what do you think happen ??
PS - I know my english sucks from time to time just deal whit it sorry
That is the stock recovery you are seeing. You can't make a backup with it either. You need to flash a custom recovery, then take a backup with it before doing anything else. And to return to stock, you restore your backup, then flash your stock recovery version.
See this thread for help on most things...

Hold Volume up and TAP(NOT HOLD BUT TAP) the power button, that will take you to the option menu for the stock recovery. The rest you can follow in the post made by Darth.

What does Firewater have to do with anything? What exactly are you trying to do? Just make a backup of stock ROM/Data before flashing custom ROMs? Then you don't even need S-OFF, if you didn't know this then perhaps going S-OFF wouldn't be a good idea anyway, might just be a brick in the making then.
First things first, what CID are you at? Go to the Collection thread in general section and see if you have a backup of stock recovery there. If you do then you can just flash custom recovery and flash custom ROMs. IF you don't then you need to make a backup of your recovery and you'll have to boot the custom recovery(Philz) to make a backup of stock recovery.
Htc_032 i needed firewater cuz i need super cid cuz im branded and soon im leaving my country so i have to use diff sim
It's in the guide I linked last. You need Sunshine to s-off it looks like.

Your in the stock recovery pal. Hold down the power and volume keys and you will eventually get some options on the screen. Once they come up use the volume buttons to scroll and power to select. Btw, i suspect you have a htc wildfire S not the htc wildfire. So this would be the wrong forum for you if your phone does not have a trackpad at the bottom of the screen (looks like a circle with a dot in it) then you have the S model.

Okay, pull the battery out. Then put it back in after 5 seconds. Hold down volume down, then power and keep both pressed down until a wite screen with some writing comes up. There it should say hboot, a version number and s-on or s-off. What does yours say?

Ah ha! Fantastic whoever else had this phone before you has done most of the hard work and security unlocked the bootloader already. http://dl-1.va.us.xda-developers.c...zip?key=kzoSRLwAaSgJsyXiuKJS4A&ts=1431506306 download this and place it onto your sdcard. Reboot into hboot and your hboot should request you to update the recovery. Select yes with volume up. After this you should reboot back into hboot without the sdcard in. Then select recovery from hboot and boot into it.
Once your in recovery you could either:
1. Wipe the data, cache and dalvik cache and then reboot the phone. This will reset the phone and hopefully fix and voot related issues.
2. Wipe the phone entirely and install a new rom. Cyanogenmod 7 is a good lightweight rom. Please look at the development section for all the roms available.
Just one question though, that screen damage looks like bad. Do you know what happened?

As I have said I recommend Cyanogenmod 7. Read the thread here Its a custom version but its more recent.
Now your screen, I suspect that those marks are from heat damage. Most likely from whoever else had the phone overclocking it. This could be a telltale sign of hardware damage through excessive use and it may never boot properly. I thought I should mention that.
Well i thats case would like to ask one more thing we will be able to fix it or not or its not worth it.

Depends, this phone is an old model as far as mobile phones are concerned. the cost of a motherboard and new lcd + digitizer could be the same cost as the phone in a used condition.
I work it out as £23.13 as the cheapest you could get the parts but then you would need to do a full tear down of the device in order to replace most of it. I mean basically your only keeping the frame, trackball, camera and some rubber bits.
Cheapest I can find to buy it in the uk is £25 ( with you needing to sim unlock it).
But I would add that you might as well try get cm7 on the device. The only thing it will cost you is time and you never know, the phone might be usable with CM7 on it. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
OK bro let me first give a try with the cm7 rom and see if its work and hoping for the best
