[Q] Trying & Failing to root HTC Desire HD! Please Help - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Everybody
I found this guide to root the HTC Desire HD.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2221039
Started of with Hboot: went all the way through to click next to start and i get ERR[191]: Rom not supported.
checked my hboot version got this:
*** LOCKED (OOW) ***
ACE PVT SHOP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.00.0029
MICROP-4038
RADIO-26.14.04.28_M
eMMC-boot
DEC 22 2011.14.28.19
I have rom version: 3.12.405.1
any ideas why i cant get past err191 ?

You've already got the updated hboot hence why its says 2.xxx.029 and also says locked. The word locked should have been abvious if you read that guide...
Ok so now you need to unlock your boot loader. You need to goto htcdev and follow the steps for getting unlock token then follow the steps that will be sent to the email address you signed up with.
Next flash custom recovery, I recommend only 4ext.
Then either flash super user zip found somewhere on xda (search)
Or flash custom rom in 4ext then flash boot.img found inside custom rom zip file.
Instructions for those steps are here on dhd forums just go find them.

Tried HTC Bootloader but that didnt' work so tried the AAHK2 and after a downgrade it rooted it.
Now I assume that if I want ICS on the DHD I simply download the ROM and slap it on the SDCard the hboot to install it?

Well putting the ROM file on the SD card is correct but you'll need a custom recovery to install it.

So whenever i try using apps that need a 'Rooted' phone..it says that Superuser has denied permissions..i just dont know what to do..Help for me would be totally appreciated as well..

Hi, I have a VM Wildfire S that I just returned to stock on with unlocked bootloader, s-off, and finally rooted it . The all in one utility from rezo69 works pretty well to get it rooted.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1697985 The only issue i had with it was the recovery that flashes during part of the root process wont boot on my phone. So after getting the root files on my sd card I had to flash another recovery to be able to get into it(unofficial cwm 5.0.2.6 works well, thanks alquez). Also the su binary installed is out of date and wont update for me so I had to go to the chainsdd su website and download a recovery flashable zip for the binary. Some patience and googleing you should be able to figure it out.
Thanks
Thanks a lot guys, I got it rooted I tried your tool GuitarFreak12 but sadly it diden't work :/ i downloaded that custom recovery sugested by bobdarkside and then used a flashable root from the user rgsgroup2005, and that finaly worked. also fixed another problem; my CWM on my last wildfire s froze up when i tried to flash anything. This one worked.
Thanks a lot guys!
Flash CWM (http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.8-marvelc.img)
HBOOT>Fastboot
Code:
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.8-marvelc.img
Flash http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.2-arm-signed.zip and http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/su-bin-3.1.1-arm-signed.zip (You must flash BOTH)
You are now rooted.

YEAH, you are right. Rooting is definitely not for you. Just watch Jersey Shore as the Hack Kit tells you....:laugh:
this is a development site and not android 101, while we can point you in the right direction and give you all the tools you need to do it yourself, we can not do it for you.
If you are not able to go pass the key, then donĀ“t try anything with your phone. You will get stuck and will come back asking how to unbrick it.
Take time to read and read thoroughly for comprehension, otherwise you will mess YOUR phone and nobody will care about it but you. Rooting is not for everybody and of course implies risks, so you are warned.

I don't know about rooting, but you are definitely S-OFF. That triangle means that you have stock recovery and not a custom one. Probably before selling it, the owner flashed a RUU, so I am guessing that you don't have root access either.
Yes, being S-OFF allows you to flash CWM or 4ext recovery. From there you can flash whatever you want. :good:

Use fastboot to flash a recovery & flash a ROM direct?
ROM Manager is a useless piece of software. Its buggy IMO

how to install custom while bootloader is locked and phone is rooted s-off

i rooted by using clockmod recovery (s-off) without unlocking the bootloader.so now i can install custom roms or not?

You need either a unlocked bootloader or S-Off to root a device.
If you are rooted properly then you can certainly flash Custom ROMs.
Before that go to ClockworkMod Recovery and take a complete Nandroid Backup of your current Stock ROM so that you can flash back Stock when you need.

can i install custom rom without unlocking the bootloader or i have to unlock the bootloader?
You need a rooted device to flash Custom ROM. To get rooted you need to unlock the bootloader or make S-Off.
You said that you are rooted the device with S-off. That' enough you can flash any ROM.
Still if you are not sure you rooted or not just refer this guide:

i cannot unlock bootloader because kernal version 2.6.35.10 ruu is not available on htcdev
Press <power> + Vol Down type what is displayed on your HBOOT.
If your Hboot version is 1.08.xxxx or later version you may skip the RUU Process and try to unlock the bootloader.
Follow the guide, it will help you to root.
I have Hboot Version 1.03.0000

You need to Update the bootloader thru HTCdev.com
Follow the steps carefully and patiently and update the bootloader. For RUU you have to choose according to your country/region and carrier, which matches with. But be sure to chose the right one.
You need to have installed HTC Sync, Android SDK and Java Runtime on your PC, those links are available with Guide itself.
After updating the bootloader, you need to root the device. Then install ClockworkMod Recovery, which will help you to take the Nandroid Backup of your STOCK ROM.
Thereafter if you need, can install LINK2SD which will help you to install all your apps on your SD Card. So that phone's internal memory will be increased and you can see a considrable fast with the device.

as i told u my kenral verion ruu is not listed on htc dev i have already installed clockworkmod reccovery and lind2sd
i just want to install custom rom
all guides of installing custom roms says that u have to unlock bootloader to install custom rom
If you are S-OFF, then you can just install a ROM. There is no need to unlock the bootloader.
is there a way to unlock bootloader without htcdev
is there r chances to hard brick my phone while flashing custom rom?

Hi,
Since your bootloader says S-OFF, you can try any custom ROM.
Just refer the below link, If you like it just download the ROM and Flash it. See all the features listed there. It's not available with the STOCK ROM!....

[Q] Help Needed Regarding S-OFF.

Hey all members of this forum.
So, I am a newbie in rooting. The last phone I rooted was the Samsung Galaxy Y and it was pretty darn easy! All I had to do was download the files on the device itself.
Now, as you might have guessed, I am using the HTC Wildfire S and rooting it is a pain!
Here's what I have done till now:
1, Unlocked bootloader via htcdev.com
Now this is what my bootloader shows right now:
***UNLOCKED***
MARVEL PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.09.0099
MICROP-0451
RADIO-7.57.39.15M
Now, I tried rooting via this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195275
However, when I place the PG76IMG.zip file in the root folder of my SD card, and open bootloader, this happens:
MODEL ID INCORRECT!
UPDATE FAILED!
PRESS <POWER> TO REBOOT.
I have tried this a lot of times but every time the same thing happens. :/
Please can anyone guide me to obtain S-OFF or root without having to obtain S-OFF? I really need your help :/
P.S: I found this process to root via the HTC SuperTool v3. Should I give it a try? Will I be able to install custom ROMs after that (specifically this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183509) ??
PLEASE HELP!!

You can only temp root I believe
Have a look at bortak's troubleshooting guide stickied to top of Q&A, step [11]
It might work, never tried it. You won't have full unlcocked bootloader (S-OFF) though, which is much more useful overall.
Best to get you USB port fixed.
I tried soldering a New micro USB which failed so you can instead buy the main board which has the micro USB with it, but if ur not into fixing it yourself just give to a phone shop.

Maybe it is possible to flash your phone by making a goldcard and by flashing a recovery using a PB99IMG.zip from your bootloader.You could also upgrade your firmware with this way.
But I have a question.How do you charge that phone?!!Do you have some external Charging Dock Cradle?

U dont need s-off for recovery PB99IMG but yes u need unlocked bootloader for it. If u were to flash lets say radio.img PB99IMG method then u do need s-off.

Maybe it is possible to flash your phone by making a goldcard and by flashing a recovery using a PB99IMG.zip from your bootloader.You could also upgrade your firmware with this way.
But I have a question.How do you charge that phone?!!Do you have some external Charging Dock Cradle?

I use the phone charger. I charge the battery by plugging the charger directly.. and I have an extra battery.
So.... You say that you can root using the golden card?

It is possible you be able to flash a custom recovery using a goldcard (I am not sure about that).But as the jmcclue says you probably have to be at least htc_dev unlocked to be able to flash a PB99IMG.zip from your bootloader.
With a goldcard you would be able to flash something without signature verification even with S-ON.You could also downgrade if you would like too.
If you can't find anything an idea is if you could S-OFF your phone.Then you could flash anything.You could temproot and you try an S-OFF way (with gfree for example).You may have to use a custom kernel to be able to use it (I am not sure about that).But as I can see you have a froyo firmware.So may gfree works for you even without custom kernel.

I found something that may be really helpful for you.
Check this out (go to "ROOT WITHOUT USB CONNECTION")
I don't know if it can flash a recovery when you are S-ON.(If you achieve this you should be able only to flash a recovery and after that to root your device with a flashable zip.It will not S-OFF your device)
You can also check this guide out how to S-OFF without adb:
[GUIDE] Permanent Root with Visionary/gfree (No ADB Required)
** If you want to flash an ENG (engineering) bootloader you can download one from here.Do not use the hboot-eng.img or hboot-eng.img you can find inside those tools.Those tools has eng hboots for Desire Z **
Thank you.

thank you. Once, i already tried "ROOT without USB connection". but.. I failed. because... I think it is due to S-ON.(Now S-ON state.)
But... I'll try the second method. Thanks for the tip.
--add--
Oh.. It is a way for the G2 and Desire Z.
Umm.. So what should I do in order to fit the Desire(Bravo)?
Hboot-emg.img and Hboot-emg-z.img found in the zip file.(I think the hboot file for G2 and Desire Z.)
So... you mean to replace it with Bravo HBOOT Desire?(ex. bravo_alphaspl.img(Bravo stock),...atc.)
I do not know what to do;;

I don't really suggest you to use flash_hboot or flash_hboot_z scripts because I am not sure what is the hboot partition for HTC desire (bravo).Those scripts are using mmcblk0p18 partition to install the eng hboot by using dd command.(Anyway it is not necessary to install an eng hboot.)
The only thing you need after the S-OFF procedure (with gfree) is to flash a PB99IMG.zip with a custom recovery from your bootloader in order you be able to flash a Superuser or SuperSU zip to root your Rom.
Also you shouldn't even try to install the Hboot-eng.img or Hboot-eng_z.img you will find inside this zip becauce they are definitly for desire z.
If you want to install an eng hboot for bravo you could download one (from alpharev for example) and until you have succeeded S-OFF with the above procedure you can flash it by using a PB99IMG.zip from your bootloader.(You can see the process in alpharev's website.)
If you like to use an eng hboot I think bravo_alphaspl.img (Bravo stock) would be a nice choice. But in my opinion I would prefer the (Bravo N1Table) because you will have more cache memory and a bigger data partition. If you use a lite Rom it should work nice.
Well.;;

When u s off u can flash a recovery using the PB99IMG.ZIP method so then you will have a recovery to flash supersu which makes your phone rooted and then u need a custom rom.

I understand.
