Hi there! I've done quite some ROM flashing on my HTC Sensation. Now my girlfriend has an old Desire HD which has been running ARHD 6.3.3 ever since she bought it of a friend of ours. It's running really poorly and has quite some issues.
I want to flash the newest ViperDHD on her device. But after reading some of the DHD forums I really still have no clue on where to start
It seems I'm S-off (see attached screenshot of haboot) but do I have the right hboot, RIL, radio, kernel or whatever? What are the latest versions of those?
Should I downgrade to 1.32.405.6 WWE as I read here?
I have no idea if the device came shipped with GB.. How can I figure that out?
I would really appreciate it if someone could offer me a little guidance here. I have attached screenshots of the current state of the device. Where should I go from here to get everything to the latest versions and give this DHD a second life. (I might even replace the cracked screen if get it right)
EDIT: ARHD 6.3.3 has Android version 2.3.5 and Sense 3.0
I see there are 2 different kinds of S-OFF on DHD (Eng and Radio). What is the difference and how can I tell which one I'm at now?
Couldn't wait so went ahead and just flashed the ROM as I normally would. All seems ok. Apparently no special firmwares/RIL/hboot's are needed?

Most of the rom is already included all the libs needed to supprt the hrdware.. If you have no problem in coverage etc, there is no need to flash ril/radio.. Besides, ril is only for sense based rom..

As with every other "im stuck at the htc logo" (doesn't any one read any other threads any more) you need to flash the boot.img manually in fastboot.

Is his bootloader unlocked? Because his quote of his hboot doesn't say "unlocked."

I have tried to flash kkernel v6, v11 and OCbuzz.
But every time when I go to about phone in settings it says the default firmware.
when I am in the bootloader it says
"ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF
H-BOOT-0.85.02.08_M
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.03.02.08_M
eMMC-boot"
It also says the time but I didn't think I'd need to say that.
I've only had the phone since christmas, so i'm still a noob, but I have no idea how to make it work. I borrowed a friends laptop to use the kernel update utility tool version 0.8
I am using the leedroid HD v1.3a rom.
someone please help me.
You need ENG S-OFF for the Kernel Update Utility to work, as it says in the requirements.
With ship S-OFF you can only flash via ClockworkMod, so you have two options: use CWM, or get yourself ENG S-OFF.
Kernel update don't show in the bootloader. What you are looking at is the radio version.
You need to boot the phone and then go settings>about phone>software and it will show which kernel you are running there.

Why is that different?
ENG S-OFF comes with engineering bootloader, which allows to issue fastboot commands to the bootloader through USB.
Oh, thanks
I didn't know FASTBOOT USB was only available from the ENG HBOOT .
Well actually it is available in SHIP hboot, too, but it just does not allow the user to do much

Here is my advice you have stated at bottom of your post your running leedroid 1.3a don't waste your time trying to flash the kernel as leedroid is built on 1.72 and you will be back on here ask long why your mic doesn't work or something else as there is no kernel compatible with the 1.72 as of yet HTC have not released it so your better of just getting Eng s-off and flashing the recommended radio from leedroids first post till a compatible kernel is available
From England with leedroid dhd techo!

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 !

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
Hey guys,
i have big problem right now. I just got my Desire HD back from the HTC service guys with Android Version 2.3.5 and a software Version at around 3.?.?.
Now I tried to get root on my phone by using AAHK from here:
http://www.2shared.com/file/FaZdYXtC/aahk-07052012.html
I was following this tutorial, which is in German (sorry guys):
http://www.brutzelstube.de/2011/root-fur-das-htc-desire-hd-mit-dem-advanced-hack-kit/
after the Kit tried to downgrade my phone, the phone stucked at that HBOOT, which shows the following:
Ace PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-0.85.0024
MicroP-0438
Radio-26.09.04.11_M2
eMMC-boot
Apr 12 2011,00:55:45
Then I have these options:
Fastboot
Recovery
Factory Reset
Simlock
Image CRC
I wasnt able to navigate by using the volume up/down keys. Nothing worked.
So, somewhere on the web I read that I should start the phone (vol down + power) with no sd card in it.
Alright, now i can navigate in HBOOT.
If i try to start the phone normally, it stucks at the HTC Logo. Even after 15 Minutes waiting, nothing happened.
Any ideas?
I would be even happy just to get back to stuck htc rom.
I´d really appreciate any help!
thx guys,

Your sdcard is corrupted. Besides, why are you using a version of the kit that is not the lastest that it is in attn1's site? Don't risk the phone by using a youtube tutorial, just read and do it yourself.
Besides, if you are stuck and you have read the effen manual you would haven seen that there's an IRC support channel. :good:

the thing is that the downgrade failed first check the md5sum of the ROM downloaded by the AAHK under the name of "PD98IMG" it should be "69af684168bfd6b9f34fc138e160b4d5" in my case i've an arabic based rom with android 2.3.3 then if you checked the rom is valid you can postt it on the root of an new SD card, since yours is "i think" is broken and flash it using hboot, or you can download an stock 2.3.3 RUU and flash the rom using your PC then you can root your DHD using AAHK "use latest version and make sure to understand every bit of it" take it easy, it happened to me and i managed to get just fine.... wish you the best
Hello guys!
Please help me out! This is my first thread here
Well, Mine's, obviously, an HTC Desire HD
Well, this is my first time with an htc, before this it was motorola(i.e EASY)
So I used aahk to downgrade to froyo, which btw, was a total success!
And then I used option 1 to S-off and root, and then I'm stuck with the htc logo..
However I'm able to get to H-Boot and CWM, although I think there must have been some error while it happened...
Now, I can't say I haven't been messing around or anything, but one for sure, I've been doing things like factory reset and wiping dalvik, things like that
Please I hope you guys are still out there, with this device...
Even trying to return to s-on and all that seems to fail..
Please put me in the light over here
I'd be grateful
Also, If you're kind enough to help me out personally, email me @ashindnile (gmail.com)
I live in Argentina, so if you're around, I'll owe you a beer

You have not downgraded to froyo. The Kit does not do that, or you would be asking for help to fix your bootloader.
Anyway, if you are S-OFF and have CWM, you can do what guy tells you or do what the effen manual and re run the hack kit from the white screen.

You are S-OFF with no recovery. I remember that there's a section in glevitan's guide, bottom of page 8 or 9, that is labeled S-OFF with no recovery. I would recommend starting there.

Long story short.....
Ive had my DHD for about 2 years now and have flashed the crap out of it without any issues.
My DHD is non branded, and Ive never had an issue with it.
I bought the Wife a DHD with Stock Rom, S-ON locked Bootloader etc. Locked to Orange UK
Ive scoured the XDA forums for an answer but unable to find it. Although I found Soooooooo many post with dead links or incomplete / Not working information etc.
I have used the HTCDev site to unlock the bootloader now, and also installed CWM and managed to install a Stock-rooted Rom.
SU works etc so I know I have root.
Problem is that I cannot get S-OFF at all nor Install my Favorite DHD Rom, SVHD.

Software = 3.12.405.1_rooted_by_nitr00
So, Ive tried Easy S-OFF and all I get is "Unknown Error"
Ive tried to install the same ROM that I have on MY DHD and it gets stuck at the HTC White logo screen.
Question is, how come the SVHD Rom wont run once installed, and how can I get S-OFF !
Any info would be a Huge help...

Long story short.....
Ive had my DHD for about 2 years now and have flashed the crap out of it without any issues.
My DHD is non branded, and Ive never had an issue with it.
I bought the Wife a DHD with Stock Rom, S-ON locked Bootloader etc. Locked to Orange UK
Ive scoured the XDA forums for an answer but unable to find it. Although I found Soooooooo many post with dead links or incomplete / Not working information etc.
I have used the HTCDev site to unlock the bootloader now, and also installed CWM and managed to install a Stock-rooted Rom.
SU works etc so I know I have root.
Problem is that I cannot get S-OFF at all nor Install my Favorite DHD Rom, SVHD.

Did you forgot to flash boot.img? Being s-on and unlocked require you to do that every time you flash new custom rom. The boot.img can be found in the rom zip file.

never had to flash boot on my working Dhd.
ill look into it.
So basically, If I keep S-on, every time I want to put a now ROM on the phone, I have to flash boot.img before I do ?
Any idea why I cant get the S-OFF tools to work though ?

Yes, because unlocked bootloader with s-on does not allow you to alter boot partition through recovery. From your post, you said you are using easy s-off. If im not mistaken, that tools cannot be used on bootloader v2 (new bootloader). The only way is by using aahk2 which can be found in general section. Im not sure whether u need to flash a ruu in order to use that tool. It is better for you to ask in that thread.

Actually found a way to do it via Terminal on the phone.
Ill see if I can find the link I used.
