First of all I successfully downgraded my DZ from android 2.3 to 2.2 using this guide, the phone worked perfectly.
Then I attempted to root my phone using this guide everything went fine until I rebooted the phone. It could not get past the white screen with the HTC logo (without quietly brilliant)
I can access Bootloader, Fastboot, and custom Recovery (CWM Touch) and the bootloader says ENG S-OFF, however I don't know if the phone is rooted (by the existence of the Superuser app) since it won't get past the white HTC screen..
So far I've tried to flash a new ROM (tried two ROMS, this and this)as suggested in this post but the phone is still stuck on the white HTC Screen.
I looked through the forums and found some things that might help and I need your advices on them, they are: (Note: I have NOT attempted any of these)
1. Flashing boot.img of a freshly flashed ROM, procedure as follows:
-Extract boot.img for the flash ROM zip and place where I'll run a command window
-Connect phone in Fastboot USB Mode
-From CMD, run codes:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
any notes or additions?
2. Using RUU (Haven't found detailed instructions on this one, so any help would be appreciated)
3. This guide
4. Boot from SD using this guide
5. Heavens forbit, test for fried eMMC
Thank you.

So flashing a boot.img of the corresponding flashed ROM won't help? Will it hurt if I try?
And: Unroot using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1442988

revolutionary is not working with hboot 1.03 (1.02 and lower)

There is your problem. HTC official method doesn't give you the same freedom unofficial methods do. As far as I know there is no turn back yet, so bad luck for you, inform yourself better next time. htcdev gives you root but leaves hboot locked.
from HTC site:
htc said:
Why is my security still on (S-On) after I have unlocked my bootloader?
Your device is shipped with Security on (S-ON) to protect your system software configuration (such as the bootloader, radio, boot, recovery, system and others). After you have unlocked the bootloader, however, you will have lifted the restrictions on boot, recovery and system. This means you can customize boot, recovery and system images on your phone as you desire. You can easily see that you have successfully unlocked the bootloader by looking at the top of the screen when entering the bootloader screen. Security is left on to protect things like the radio, and SIM lock.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You can't change your bootloader because you are S-ON and you can't get S-OFF because methods to get S-OFF are based on original bootloaders, by installing HTC's new bootloader you have locked you out of getting S-OFF. HTC does only give you access to boot, recovery and system, is not full S-OFF and that includes a locked bootloader.
yeah you basically screwed yourself by using the official method. Ironic isnt it?
via xda app
Not sure why all the peripheral discussion around here makes it sound as if he's bricked his phone.
OP, I understand you've "successfully" unlocked the bootloader and want to flash cwmr. In that case, the solution is to download a .img image of cwmr, and flash it using the fastboot program:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Or use any of the GUI tools for fastboot.
For all practical purposes, unlocked bootloader ought to be enough for you.
ok problem sovled
This method i have folow with some changes.
1) Unlock phone via HTC official process (registration required)
You are now unlocked S-ON but have no root access on the existing rom, however by doing it the official way you dont need to flash the radio anyway. I used the following steps to get CM7 installed on mine.
2) Downloaded ClockworkMod Recovery 5 (GSM not CDMA)
download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-bravo.img
(i have download instead dl.dropbox.com/u/4518713/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.7.111102-j_r0dd_mod-bravo.zip this from this topic)
(sorry - forum wont let me post urls yet)
3) reboot phone into fastboot
and plug in the usb
4) In the environment you set up for the HTC unlock process enter
(this means put the *.img file you downloaded in this file: C:/Android (with adb, fastboot)
open cmd, type:
"cd c:\Android"
"fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-bravo.img" OR "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.7.111102-j_r0dd_mod-bravo.img"
5)unplug the usb cable from your phone.
select bootloader press power to select
wait 20 sec
select recovery press power to select
if the flash was successful you will se the ClockWorkMod Recovery 5.0.2.0 OR 5.0.2.7
6) To navigate into ClockWorkMod Recovery
Use trackpad, not power to select
Yes, that's the age old method of flashing via hboot. Nothing new about it.
Android flasher can also be used to flash recovery right? And isn't it much easier?

yes, for newbies. For us, we could probably finish flashing by the time you load it.

Hi,
I unlocked the bootloader with the of HTCDev, it only unlocked the bootloader enough for me to change the Recovery to Clockworkmod Recovery
Through Clockworkmod Recovery i wiped the system, just everything apart from the SD Card with the ROM's on

I've tried every guide i can on XDA Developers
PLEASE HELP!
How are you installing the ROMs? It sounds like you are trying to do it from your SD using Clockwork. My understanding, the only way to install a ROM after using HTC Unlock, is using fastboot.
This is one of the many reasons that HTC Unlock sucks compared to root and S-Off.
Hi,
I did use fastboot to relock it after and downgrade it using a few guides
the way i'm installing Rom's is through the Clockworkmod Recovery using .zip files i've saved on the SD Card, i can still access the SD card via my PC by mounting it to transfer files
the different Rom's i've tried, including the stock PC10IMG.zip, all do the normal installion progess that i'm used to from doing the same on my Nexus One (which is how i know this method), then say they've completed successfully, but when i go to start the phone normally it just stays at the white screen with the green HTC logo
Thanks!
*EDIT* just like to point out i didn't actually get to downgrade anything on the phone, it would always fail. Also the recovery and Rom's i'm using are for the Desire Z /G2, not Nexus One Rom's i'm trying to put on there
I think you need to have the ROM on your computer and flash it using fastboot. And the bootloader needs to be unlocked (to flash a custom ROM), as I think that is the whole point of having it unlocked.
Check out this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1453066
as redpoint73 has already said you have to flash a rom using fastboot from your pc.
Although you've actually flashed a rom using cwm recovery htc dev unlocked bootloader doesn't allow you to touch the boot.img hence the white splash screen.
you can take out the boot.img from the rom and flash it using fastboot
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
I would recommend getting back to xda's unlocked bootloader(PS: higher version bootloader doesn't mean more/better functionality.. it just means more bars added to your jail cell)
I have tried a lot of methods to install custom roms but the only one worked for me is the one in cyangenmod wiki page.
1.Downgrade.
2.created a golden card.
3.s-off.
4.root.
And I have been installing roms happily ever after

Hello,
I've unlocked the bootloader of my Desire Z with htcdev.com. Everything went well, after gaining acces to fastboot I flashed CWM 5.0.2.7.
I've tried to flash CM7 from it and the Gapps, and when I rebooted the phone, it get stuck on the white screen and HTC logo.
I've done exactly the same for my HTC ChaCha and everything went well.
Do you have any idea why my phone won't boot ?

When you are not s-off, but htcdev unlocked, you need to flash a boot.img for every rom you flash and that too via pc and not recovery.
Do this :
Extract boot.img from your rom.rar
Flash your rom regularly, but don't reboot normally. Instead reboot bootloader.
Connect your phone to pc via usb.
In fastboot(cmd) , type " fastboot flash boot boot.img "
Then reboot.
Just look for the file. It should be in the same folder as your cmd or else type the whole directory address.

i managed to get the goldcard working.
Still can't flash, some message about version is older.
Tried different roms.
The RUU exe still throws 191 error.

Have you tried running the RUU when the device is in fastboot mode? That worked for me once when I thought I'd bricked it.

I have the same situation. But within a couple of months my phone contract will end and I will extend this with a new phone. At that moment I will try to install some custom ROMS on my Desire HD. So first downgrade to 2.50.405.2, get root and S-Off (which I by the way already have (Ship S-off to be precise))
And than install ClockWorkMod and install custom rom.
I tried to install CWM from fastboot but did not manage to successfully complete this. I think because I have Ship S-Off and not ENG S-Off.

AAHK has supported 3.12.40.5.1 since version AAHK 10122011, It does not and will not support HTC dev unlocked devices. Although version 3.12.40.5.1 does need downgrading, this step is carried out by AAHK. AAHK is by far the safest and easiest method of obtaining root IMHO.

umm...it seems that u need to give a look at the manual again. All builds 3.x are not directly rootable, so you need to downgrade. The Hack Kit prompts you about that, and do it in case you are willing to.
Just one tip, if you install ENG S-OFF you will mess your bootloader...so, I would check the manual and the hack kit thread just see what you not supposed to do..

Yes it does, but a downgrade is needed first. The hack kit automates it all as much as possible, even the initial downgrade.
The bootloader MUST be relocked and the the ROM stock.

Hey guys,
I did a research on the web but I didn't succeed to find the answer, so here I am.
So recently I've bought my HTC Desire HD and it turns out to have S-OFF (as it shows on HBoot) but no root and a stock Rom. Here's the information:
Software number: 3.12.405.1
Kernel number: 2.6.35.10
Android version: 2.3.5
Sense: 3.0
So my question is: In Advanced Ace Hack Kit post I saw that it is not recommended to root the phone with provided software in case I already have S-OFF, but as I googled how to get my S-ON back I didn't manage to find anything useful. Should I continue with the kit then, or do you have any ideas how to get S-ON back again?

If you are already S-OFF there is no need to use the Hack Kit. If you want to flash a custom rom just flash a custom recovery and then the custom rom. If you just want root access then just flash Superuser from CWM from here: http://androidsu.com/superuser/
You will find answers and how to's in the guide in my signature. Hope it helps...:good:
Thanks for such fast reply! Unfortunately, I can't get to flash a custom recovery... By following some instructions, after writing "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" using ADB, I get this error:
FAILED(remote: not allowed)
Now, is it possible that my S-OFF actually does not exist, even though that HBOOT says different? If so, what should I do? Or is that a different problem?
Thanks in advance,

Try
adb devices
If it doesn't show then perhaps you need to install the htc sync/drivers. Go to glevitans signature. You'll find everything you need there.

You have to be in fastboot usb in order to flash a Custom recovery. It won´t work from hboot usb Plug. Choose Fastboot (by pressing power button) and when you see fastboot usb in red in the phone try flashing it again.
when you are in fastboot, type fastboot devices in the cmd session (opened as admin) if you get a blank list of attached devices then is a drivers issue. Unplug the phone, uninstall all the HTC stuff and re install the htc drivers from the Hack Kit folder (tools>windrivers)
You guys missed a key sign. Remote not allowed. That's a sign that he doesn't have an eng hboot or the modified one from the hack kit.
So op you have a few options
Flash super user and binary then use from manager or 4ext to flash a recovery.
Flash a recovery via a pd98.
Use hack kit optional menu to get modified hboot then flash manually as you tried
Use hack kit optional menu to flash cwr

Yes, you are right..but he woud not be able to flash the .img file (fastboot flash recovery xx.img) but he should be able to flash the .zip file using the RUU flash method (fastboot oem rebootRUU - fastboot flash zip CWM.zip - fastboot reboot-bootloader).

Thank you for your answers!
So yesterday I found out that there's such thing as fake S-OFF, so I tried some method I found on XDA-DEVELOPERS to receive a real one, but then it turned out I needed a downgrade... I didn't succeed in that, so today, as you suggested, I'm going to try gain S-OFF with Ace Hack Kit.
I'll let you know what happens, in case anyone else faces such problem too.
Cheers,

Woah woah woah. You need to stop right there. Do not run the root soff option on your phone from the hack kit.
Your making it more complicated than it actually is. Glevitan and I have given you all the options you need to.

OK, so now I used the Advanced Ace Hack Kit to gain ENG HBOOT and it worked! So then I flashed a custom recovery, and, how surprizing, it worked too! Next, I booted into recovery in order to flash Superuser, and it also succeeded!
BTW, the CWM flashing menu is very confusing, I didn't even get to find the YES option at first
Thank you for your help alot, guys! I finally defeated my phone, even though it resisted very hard!
