Hi XDA-devs,
I have a HTC Desire HD from Telus. I've hit a dead end after hours of searching, trying to no avail. I have seen similar attempts by others on the forums who have had a degree of success, but they also come from other paths.
I WAS running Clockwork Mod, with Cyanogenmod 7.2.0 and was attempting to bring my phone back to original Telus stock.
I was following this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1731324
I had downloaded the RUU EXE from that thread and ran it in administrator and like many people before me, the RUU could not detect my phone, I had tried installing HTC Sync, still no effect.
So like someone had suggested on that thread, that I extracted the ROM from the RUU, by using this method:
https://sites.google.com/site/androidbyyorzua/home/tutorials/extracting-rom-files-from-htc-ruu
I went to recovery, and tried to install that ZIP. it said. E:Can't open /sdcard/rom.zip (bad)
Assuming I had chosen the wrong option. So then I went to look how to FLASH the ROM. Searching I found the ULTIMATE ACE GUIDE on here: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30020025&postcount=7)
Followed it's steps starting on Page 5. So far I only completed steps 1-7 which include Formatting Data/Wiping Cache and Formatting System. haven't actually installed anything new yet.
Upon rebooting, I got stuck on the White HTC Boot Screen, Pressing Vol-down + Power does not do anything, Pulling the battery just repeats this symptom.
Fortunately, I used ADB, and managed to get it back to HBOOT and eventualy back to Clockwork Mod Recovery. So as far as I know I'm not yet Bricked, but still need a good ROM to properly install.
Things you may ask me:
Clockwork Mod v5.0.2.0
My SD is goldcarded.
Obviously my Phone has been Rooted Before.
The Rom I was trying to install is: "RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_WWE_3.12.405.1_Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_225512_signed.exe"
Update: I just reloaded Cyanogenmod 7.2.0 back on, so again, my phone is fine, it's simply a matter of finding a Telus Stock Rom that I can install via ZIP.
I cannot help in RUUs, but if you want Sense 3 you should really give a try for Android Revolution HD 9.0, that's a great ROM for that and doesn't have much changes in look compared to stock.
What's the point in all these RUU's and steps to extracting the ROM from it if they don't do anything ;P?
Are you S-Off or S-On? Is your bootloader relocked? What does hboot say?

I had Oxygen hboot installed but wanted to switch back to original ROM. I Ran RUU but forgot to replace hboot with original one.
Now i have gray HTC in middle and /!\ in corners.
I can run RUU again and it recognizes the phone, but gives ERROR[152]:IMAGE UPDATE ERROR and recovery option doesn't help either, ends up with same error while retrying.
I can't boot into bootloader with power+vol. down
Any suggestions what to do next ? Is there any solutions ?
Nevermind, Fastboot worked. Flashed correct hboot, ran RUU again and it's working now.
please help
Can you be more specific for a noob?! I have the exact same problem and i'm desperate. What exactly did you do?
You need to fastboot flash (using commands or android flasher) the Alpharev downgrader image like it says on the alpharev site. Basically the same way you flashed your current hboot.
done
thanks guys, mine is working too now
Hi guyz!
I just bought a second hand Desire from a guy i dont know, and it seems it has some issues. I know it is not bricked as i can enter the bootloader and the fastboot mode. But that's all. I cannot access any recovery i flash, or boot any rom.
I flashed several RUU's via bootloader, one of them is booting but it reboots as soon as it settles down. Others dont even boot.
I am familiar with flashing, with fastboot and all that, i just have no experience in HTC Desire.
Bootloader details:

So this is what i get. Is there a method to get some working ROM on this one, other than flashing RUU's that doesnt seem to work? Or flashing with recovery?
I have flashed clockwork recovery via fastboot, it still doesnt work. It vibrates 7 times than the screen stays at the htc logo.
Maybe there is a fastboot method to inject all the stock stuff into the phone? And maybe somebody have those img's?
Many thanks, guys!

is there any solution or idea to get "S-Off"?
have you tryed following this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=964996
This might have been your case:
...
"Do NOT attempt to downgrade a Inspire or DHD shipped with Gingerbread with a Froyo RUU.
Do NOT attempt to install the ENG HBOOTs on these models.
Doing this WILL severely degrade bootloader performance on Inspires (and likely DHDs) and causes issues trying to install RUUs. In other words, it WILL jam you up. (Note: Issue now confirmed on later DHDs - ignore at your own risk)."
...
Get on the irc channel specified in the AAHK thread and ask for help there.
The guys there are really helpful.

First off, I am a noob, but I have worked for hours trying to get my phone to S-OFF and i'm getting tired of all the methods I've seen and my phone not allowing them. So please, no hate for saying you're a noob don't bother rooting, because I'm still determined.
I have followed the HTCdev's guide to unlocking your bootloader. It then successfully got unlocked, and SuperUser even installed onto my phone, I can load up superuser just fine and I've also got ROM Manager. I tried downloading the CyanogenMod File, and it worked. Then I tried flashing the ClockwordModRecovery, it said it was succesfully, however, when I went in to boot my ROM it came up with a red triangle, and said the custom recovery wasn't working.
I then checked my phone to see if it was S-OFF but it wasn't.
Currently my phone details are:
Android Version: 2.3.3
HTC Sense Version: 2.1
and when I go into recovery these are the details displayed:
**** UNLOCKED ****

PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS.
I would like a suitable method to root my phone which isn't too complicated.
I'm willing to reset to factory settings if needs be.
Thank you very much.
This is the best, most reliable, and most supported way to get s-off on the G2/DZ.
Unlocked bootloader (which HTC Unlock gives you) and S-Off are not the same thing.
If you want S-Off, you still need to downgrade, then root and run gfree the "old" Wiki method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1453066
You can still flash the recovery and flash custom ROMs without S-Off, but you have to do it through fastboot, which is also explained in the link I just gave. If you did not use fastboot to flash clockwork, then I would assume this is why you are getting the red exclamation (stock recovery).
Hi guys,
two days already I am trying to flash a custom ROM to my HTC Desire HD.
First I managed to unlock the bootloader using the Easy Ace Root Tool and installed ClockworkMod.
Then I tried flashing JellyTime 4.2 R11 and it got stuck at the HTC logo screen. I tried all kinds of suggestions from the forums about wiping / formatting via ClockworkMod but with no success.
Afterwards I used a second phone to put the Download Android Revolution HD 7.3 ROM on the SD card and flash it. This one went fine through the installation wizard but when I was back to ClockworkMod recovery mode I got: "Can't open /cache/recovery/log" "Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log". Then I selected reboot and it was hanging on the HTC logo again... I was waiting for a minute before I took the battery out... After this I tried "format /cache" from the CWM but didn't help either.
Then I tried using a RUU utility in fastbood mode to flash an official HTC ROM: RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_WWE_3.12.405.1_Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_225512_signed.
It reached a particular point saying that the update failed.
I thought I cannot install the official ROM because I have unlocked the bootloader, so I locked it again using the htc fastboot utility. This didn't help either and the RUU failed again.
Here is what the bootloader currently shows:
***** RELOCKED *****

I am at a point when I am ultimately confused and I don't know how much time I have (in terms of battery I mean )
So I have just a couple of shots before this turns into a beautiful piece of aluminium brick.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Fixed
Fixed it.. Had to flash the boot.img using the fastboot utility.

Hi guys...
i desperately in need of help. i am in stock rom and i wanted to root my HTC and i did unlocked using HTC dev method. and installed CWM recovery. it worked fine for about 6 months (plz note i never flashed any custom rom, just unlocked with the stock rom)
but now suddenly my sim card is not detected. when i go to settings the flight mode says 'turning off' and it never turns off...and hence my sim not working. so i decided to reinstall stock RUU but it says wrong RUU and failed.
Info:
****Unlocked****
PrimoU PVT SHIP S-ON RL
Hboot 1.18.0000
Radio-3831.19.00.120
eMMC-boot
CID : HTC_038
i tried flashing stock recovery and relock the mobile and then RUU but it fails.now when i searched in internet i came to know that i need to down grade hboot 1.18 since no RUU is available for this version and for doing so i need to do S-OFF. i tried rum runner but it ended up in failed to update error. so plz help me. :crying:
I want to know why the radio is not working and also how to revert back to stock RUU.?
P.S :i have a doubt on how it happened-last week i updated SuperSU and on recovery menu in Hboot it showed me warning that " Rom will flash stock recovery, proceed to fix.? " i gave no...i am not sure but i thing it may be the reason because i havent done anything new since i rooted my mobile.
take a backup with CWM recovery
bro before doing anything to stock rom pls backup through CWM recovery
1st of all, to find a compatible RUU for your phone the hboot is irelevant, you need to figure out what's your CID. There is a CID application on play store that will tell you what you need: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.tritonsoft.cidgetter&hl=ro
2nd from what i understood in your post you are still able to use the ROM somewhat, try to activate ADB in developer settings and reboot the phone through adb command. you will need to install android SDK and update your envoirnment variables in windows. you can lookup a tutorial on google about how to do that or if you can't find it you can PM me and i can give you some instructions.
it's very important to find a way to reboot your phone in bootloader because in order to reflash a RUU you need to relock your bootloader and to flash back the stock recovery.
it does not sound to me like your phone will be hard to fix (i had a lot worse and still managed to fix it ^^)
good luck with these steps, see if you can get any results and update here, we'll figure something out
cheers
