[Q] Custom ROM installing

Hi,
I'm thinking to install Custom ROM to my DESIRE HD - "Android Revolution HD™ 5.2.5".
As I understand I need two things to make it happen: S-OFF and ClockworkdMod recovery.
#Question 1
As you see in image attached below - my phone is already S-OFF (why?! I did'nt do that!).
Is this means I am already ready to install ClockworkdMod as described in #Question2 ?
#Question 2
How to install recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.6-ace.img - really don't understand this part. Do I need to connect my PHONE to USB and boot in RECOVERY MODE, then do this on my pc:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.6-ace.img
fastboot reboot
(android sdk installed)
Is "ROOTING" doing after this step ?
Will my STOCK ROM will boot with ClockWorkmod ?
#Question 3
If everything goes fine and installation of Custom rom succeeeds. Is there a possibility to revert it back to STOCK using HTC official RUU ?

I couldn't enlarge the image you have attached but I suspect your phone hasn't been downgraded yet. Go through the development forum and find out how to downgrade your dhd thread and you will get all your answer. And everyone thinks of reverting back to stock but once you start flashing custom rom you will be always ahead of stock roms and you will never think to go back.
But reading is essential before you start playing with your $600 toy.

Sorry, I can't answer this question. A guru should take you through this one... But if you follow the threads below they tell you how to check the needed states.

To downgrad just follow this thread and then continue with this one here. Everything is written there and you should do excatly what they tell you to. Or just take this all in one thread.

This questions should be answered in the above threads and how you do it...

If you don't have to downgrade your phone or once it has been downgraded - simply follow this short video.

[Q] Error 191 when using RUU - Rom not supported

G'day Guys,
I am trying to root my desire HD. currently 2.3.5
I initially followed the HTCDEV method
For my phone which downloaded the RUU program. PD9810000_Ace_Sense30_S_hboot_2.00.0029.exe
this is for Desire HD Vodaphone australia.
I ran the RUU successfully once. It supposedly upgraded the image from 2.12.178.2 to 3.13.0.0
apon rebooting into the fastboot screen as per the HTCDEV instructions when attempting to fastboot I recieved errors saying
"no image or wrong image" or something to that effect.
at this point I went back to the drawing board and tried the HOW TO ROOT WITHOUT HACK KIT thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2168500) method and script for unlocking the bootloader. which downloaded the same RUU program
apon running it this time it still wished to updrade from 2.12.178.2 to 3.13.0.0 and i recieved the error
ERROR [191]: Rom is not supported
I have searched several threads with this error however none of them seemed to have a solution ie.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2264987
I cannot locate and temporary ROM zips as per this thread below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21231962
EDIT Just found and am re-naming the rom zip as PD98IMG.zip then copying it to sd card root folder.
will update thread with result. apologies again
Appologies for the first thread question and its length.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks and Regards
Ben

So I renamed the rom.zip file copied it to the root folder of the SD card.
booted into fast boot. updated
it said "parsing bootloader complete"
however the phone still appears to be 3.12.178.2 ...
the next step
step 8
htcdev[dotcom]/bootloader/unlock-instructions/page-3
"fastboot oem get_identifier_token"
wont run as it sits there <waiting for device>
if I run the RUU again it still says need to update to 3.13 and that its error 191 invalid rom.
help guys

The top part, the one where you say RUU, that's not a RUU, that just simply updates the HBOOT.
You need to follow this guide.

thanks, yeah i was following that guide.
part of that guide is the "unlock bootloader" portion. I believed thats what the RUU was doing... as those were the steps i was doing.
I was trying to unlock to bootloader. which the guide states you need to do IOT continue on to the ROM steps in the guide you linked.
has anyone had success unlocking the bootloader or any ideas for my issue
thanks for the response. makes sure im on the right path,

Use a goldcard to flash a ruu that supports hboot update. That will allow you to unlock the bootloader.

Ok im ready to do this. got my CID... however it appears the Revskills goldcard generator is down and has been for a while
does anyone know of a current goldcard generator that is working.
EDIT:
ok its Alice down the rabbit hole at the moment.
I think I have created a gold card using this tool ... that you posted lol
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2288012
there are allot of threads asking for goldcards so hopefully this helps someone.
now i just have to work out how to ... Use a goldcard to flash a ruu that supports hboot update. That will allow you to unlock the bootloader. lol

apologies for the n00bage.
now I have a gold card. just trying to work out the next step to find a RUU that will support hboot update on htcdev
can anyone point me to an appropriate RUU? Glevitan perhaps?
thanks all for the help so far its been great

FYI I completed step 1 from this site http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f66...-os-s-off-change-imei-cid-hxc-dongle-1548982/
1.root ur phone :for root u mus unlock boot loader with htcdev/bootloader
hboot 2.00.0029 support token key for unlock bl 2.00.0027 stok not support
u must update hboot to 2.00.0029:
download this rom copy to your c:\ drive so download this dhd update hboot by behtash.rar
and run hboot update by behtash.bat in normal mode ,waiting until flash hboot complete
ok u can now unlock bl with htcdev.com\bootloader
however it would not unlock on htcdev it just sat there saying [waiting for device]
I think my fastboot program may be the issue due to it being the same 69k version that this chap had an issue with

I was being a numpty and didnt have sdk installed. I have to crash tonight but will install it tomorrow. then try htcdev again,
if it dosent work i will do as suggested. if its something that simple I will feel a bit stupid. will keep you guys updated.
thanks again all for your help

Ok I have unlocked bootloader. I was being a bit of a numpty and not doing the "get identifier token" command whilst the phone was actually on fastboot... the htcdev instructions confused me.
I will keep this post open as I know i will have more problems as I go.
Thanks all for your help so far
do i have to
3. Download rooted stock rom: http://www.multiupload.nl/20T9R21IGY
(link to rom thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...t=rooted+stock )
copy the ROM zip file to your SD card.
as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2221039
or can I go straight to download a newer rom. a 4.2 or something and continue on the process

Ok, where I am at.
I have flashed the stock rooted rom as per the guide.
it works fine and has root access.
I didnt go through the process for S-OFF from step 6 onwards as I got a little lost what i needed to do as I had already done some of the goldcard steps. either way.
I am currently unlocked and rooted. with 2.3.5 stock rooted rom.
I tried to install a cryogenmod rom and jellytime rom.
as per this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1866122
I installed them from the cwm recovery then tried to "flashboot flash boot boot.img" with their respective boot.img.
both roms didnt progress past the htc boot screen they just black screened.
can anyone hint why these roms wouldnt load? is it an s-on issue? or am i lost with the boot.img or missing another step?
i have reloaded the stock rooted image using cwm and flashboot flash boot boot.img
Thanks all

Ah appologies I am blind today.
No error msgs. Boot.IMG is coppied over as it is when I do it with the rooted stock Rom.
Just when rebooting afterwards. The phone does its .HTC flash screen for like 30 secs then it goes to a black screen (phone on) indefinitely.
The process I am using is
1 zip Rom on sdcard.
2 cwm delete user data
3 cwm install zip image from sdcard which works
4 reboot
5 fastboot USB
6 from pc: fastboot flash boot boot.IMG (extracted from Rom zip)
Am I doing anything incorrectly or missing a step.
Rooted, unlocked bootloader s-on
Thanks all

Is the phone in fastboot? What ROM? What recovery version?

The phone was in fastboot USB
The working Rom is the one listed shoved from the full root sticky..3.12.405.1 rooted by nitr00
The 2 Roms that failed were jellytime and cryogen. Either the current or most recent stable apparently
Recovery is cwm. It's a slightly older version I think though. It was the only one I could find at the time.
Maybe 2. Something. I'll reboot now and check. Could that be an issue?

Bootloader unlocked
Hboot 2.00.0029
Radio 26.14.04.28m
Cwm recovery v 2.5.1.2

Yay just tried with the latest version of CWM and it works... FFS why wouldnt I have used the current version.
anyway I am playing with 4.2.2 jelly time now.
Thanks so much every contributor. your replies helped me keep going.

How to install custom ROM on my HTC desire HD

Hi there,
I have spend couple of hours on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2002349
I want to install some jellybean 4.2.x ROM.
there are lots of lots of metrial on rooting , unlocking too many terminology.
Some of the forum post on this site which were valid earilier for S-off are now no more valid.
Most of them assume that readers know a few thing about rooting process, which turns out to be untrue in my case.
Is there any step by step guide for installing custom rom on HTC desire HD, which upto date?
I have understood what S-Off and S-On means, its a lock that is installed on HTC phone which disallows any hampering ( rooting etc)
in order to install any custom first thing is we need to do S-Off. there are lots of tools available for this, I am not sure which one to go with,
using wrong one will make my phone unusable and may be un-repairable. There seems to be some tool which would S-Off permanently and some would do it temporarily .
After S-Off is done whats next? how to flush memory.
My purpose behind installing a custom RAM is not getting new features. its following
1) A Factory Reseted HTC desire HD has 411 MB memory already full , After restarting post factory reset.
that's less, I can't increase the RAM , so can I install a light weight ROM , which has very less pre-loaded apps.
2) Performance :Sometime its dam slow. un explainable. yo udial someone , it will dial literally after 3-5 minutes.

if you just unlock your phone through htcdev unlock..still S-ON bootloader..then you must flashing manually boot.img extracted from the rom.zip it self after every installing any new custom rom..
1st installing the rom.zip from recovery and reboot to bootloader again after installing rom.zip
2nd select FASTBOOT
3rd extracted the boot.img from rom.zip it self
4th copy the boot.img to your sdk/ android tools folder
5th connect your phone with computer through usb (indicator in your phone is "FASTBOOT USB")
6th open your sdk/ android tools folder through cmd then type "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
7th reboot your phone..and wait about 5-10 minute of the booting rom for the first time...
if your phone bootloader already S-OFF then you don't need to flashing manually again the boot.img from the rom.zip
hopefully this can help...

And now I want to update to new jelly bean 4.2.2 with sense 5.0.

I just want to upgrade my phone to 4.2.2 with sense 5.0, but now im lost and dont know how, because phone was bought with preinstalled custom rom.
can I at least get back to official firmware and then update to 4.2.2 with OTA?
it seems like I cant upgrade to android revolution HD 31.0 without unlockcode.bin?
what do you suggest, what should I do? Im completly lost.
thanks in advance
Regards

You already have an unlocked bootloader AND custom recovery if you have a custom ROM.
You download and flash the ARHD v31 Sense 5 ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562603 and flash that.
Plenty instructions on the forum on how.

yes thanks for your reply, but problem is that in one step from tutorial i need to have unlockcode.bin from htcdev, which I dont have because I bought the phone already unlocked and with custom rom.
sorry for noobish questions

Yes that would be the step involving unlocking your bootloader in order to flash a custom recovery etc. You already have these things.
If you restart into bootloader using Power + Vol. Down, at the top of the white screen does it say Unlocked or Relocked?
If it says Unlocked, you do NOT need unlockcode.bin and you skip that step in the tutorial.

it says unlocked...
ok I will download ARHD 31.0 and try...
can I use recovery manager or ROM manager for flashing with new ARHD 31? or you can suggest me one?
thanks

You need to put the rom on your sd card.
Flash the boot in in fastboot then flash the rim zip in recovery.

ok i downloaded required files (flashboot.img and androidrevolutionhd....zip)
because my phone is already rooted, and has custom rom on it, do I follow only these steps, or I have to watch on CID and Hboot :/?
1. Turn OFF the device
2. Turn ON the device in bootloader mode (hold power + vol down)
3. Enter fastboot mode using navigation keys
4. Connect the device to PC via USB cable
5. If you are running Windows OS then double click on 'install-boot-windows.bat'. If you are running Linux or Mac OS then select 'install-boot-linux.sh' or 'install-boot-mac.sh'
6. Done, now enter recovery and flash Android Revolution HD ROM

Make sure boot.img is in fastboot folder and rom is on your phone sd card
1) Boot into bootloader
2) Open cmd prompt in fastboot (on pc)
3) fastboot erase cache
4) fastboot flashboot boot.img
5) fastboot erase cache
6) Reboot into recovery and flash the rom (full wipe clean install)
Reboot and enjoy.

Somehow I managed to pull it off, with these instructions, and now im enyojing ARHD 31

Hey pal first off, this is the wrong forum. This is the old wildfire forums not the wildfire s. But I shall help you out none the less
Since your phone is hboot unlocked but not s-off you need to flash your custom roms boot.img via fastboot just after you flash the rom via recovery. When you download the rom it comes in a zip file, unzip a copy of it and place the boot.img in your fastboot folder, then copy the zip to your sd card and then flash via recovery. Once it's flashed boot into hboot by using advanced reboot options I think its called. Then flash the boot.img using the command
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Where boot.img is the name of the .img you took from the zip file (just in case you have renamed it and don't know why the command is not working)
Then do fastboot reboot and the phone should boot up okay. You need to flash the boot.img for every rom change that you do. Also should you decide you want to run a RUU you must relock you hboot or it won't run.

*i did relock my bootloader before i ran the Ruu and it didnt work it said main version too old and since my costume rom is based on andoird 2.3.7 and my htc can only go as far as 2.3.5 and ruu wont let you downgrade so i figured it might not work.
*now you suggested that i flash the costume rom via recovery and thats the problem i cant even get in to my recovery it just gets stuck on the white htc screen and i tried flashing the recovery Again (twrp) and nothing. even other recoveries wouldnt work.
*i flashed about 4 roms and they all worked just fine even this last one and i didnt flash the boot.img and i was able to reboot normally
THANK YOU.

Okay so, let's recap.
You are on a custom android rom.
You have a custom recovery installed.
Your cannot flash the RUU as your run version is higher than the RUU.
Lastly you cannot boot into your custom Rom, or your recovery?
Do you want to return to stick it get a custom Rom flashed?

at this point i just want to get pass that white htc screen i am sick of it
Q: if i flash a system via fastboot successfully will it automaticly erase the old one because i tried to erase it but it said remot controle not allowed (S-on)

ok, ive requested this thread be moved to its correct forum.
before proceeding can you tell me when your htc wildfire marvel was made? after 2012?
can you flash clockworkmod recovery and then try flashing a custom htc sense rom
Then reboot back into cwm recovery (by selecting advanced/ reboot-recovery in the menus) and plug the phone into your computer via usb cable. open up your command prompt and move to your adb folder. type the following commands ( a # denotes instructions and should not be typed into the command window)
Code:
adb devices
#this should show your device up, maybe saying its in recovery mode
adb shell
# the command prompt should change to a # symbol
Now make sure you have a sdcard in the phone and then run the following command
Code:
cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/misc.img
This should leave you with a file called misc.img on your sdcard. Lastly
Code:
exit
exit
exit
your command window should have closed. now upload this file to a online storage system like dropbox and send me a pm with a link to it. I will edit it and you can flash it back, this will relock your hboot and downgrade your software version so that RUU's will work. then we will run a RUU, returning your phone to stock and functional state

Hmm.... Okay reflash twrp and see if it boots up. Without a recovery your options are limited. You need to be careful as your device uses a different kernel from older versions of the wildfire s. If you flash a older RUU version it will kill your phone.
Do you have any phone unlock shops near you?

Make sure when you go to the unlock shop you make sure they use an XTC clip http://www.fonefunshop.co.uk/Unlocking/xtc_clip.htm
If they don't have it then do not pay for an unlock. You need s-off not SIM unlocked. Make sure to ask for it. Once your S-off you can run any RUU and fix the phone but check in here first so I can ensure that its compatible with your 2012 edition of the phone ( as I said flashing one that is too old will kill the phone!)
