[Q] Won't flash kernel

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

I know it doesn't. I was only saying those things because I wasn't sure if all the pre-requisites were correct.

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!

So root. I still don't see what your problem is. Unlocking bootloader is similar to root as far as I understand.

the problem .. I'll write to you for your interest in a full turn of English nThanks

I installed bootloader from the HTC DEV site.After ı did it ,hboot version was updated.So ı can not do downgrade and root.it says ‘’wrong’’.it is like this: MAIN VERSION IS OLDER.

htc bootloader has an option to return to stock, or lock bootloader i think, which would return to previous version of hboot. let me check it out.
blah, i have too many devices to burn lol..
EDIT: is your bootloader now locked or unlocked?

locked the device again..

Ok so your device is SHIP son not ENG which is almost the same just a bit different in how you flash radios etc.
Now after it had been locked again, use AAHK Advanced Ace Hack Kit. The tool can be found in dev section. Let AAHK run its thing. It will complete root in 10 minutes or so. Please READ as much as you can and as many times as possible before rooting. Non English speaking useres find it especially hard and then come back with even a worse problem then before just for the lack of reading and understanding.
Aftet you have used AAHK your device will be rooted, you will have SHIP S-OFF and you can flash any custom ROM you'd like.

[Q] How do I perm root and get s-off?

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:

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).

You need to be on a stock rom to use the HAck Kit to gain S-OFF. Try flashing a stock rom and then run the Hack kit.

If the phone is S-ON, then technically it's not rooted. Search for the latest AAHK thread and follow it. It explains that first you need to downgrade and then your phone becomes rooted and hence S-off.

First of all, go here and download the hack kit:

And before doing nothing, read the manual and ask if you have some doubts.

Guys, he has an unlocked bootloader and is running a custom rom. The Hack Kit only works with locked bootloaders (as RUU´s do) and stock rom. So, he first needs to revert to a stock rom, relock the bootloader and then use the Hack Kit.
Running the Hack Kit from a custom rom will get him stuck...

Exactly, I have rooted and already got a custom rom on it, It just not S-OFF, so I need to set S-OFF, at least please tell me how to lock the bootloader back, so I can use hack kit to root and s off again. I tried with RUU to restore but RUU also failed. Right now I'm so screwed up, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Ok, the first you need is to find if there is a RUU for your phone. You need to find the CID number of your phone and then see if there is a ruu that matches that. Was your phone branded to a carrier? If there is no RUU for your phone, then you will have to create a goldcard to be able to flash another RUU to revert to stock.
Once you get the ruu, you need to relock the bootloader in order to flash that RUU, by booting in fastboot usb (boot in hboot and plug the phone, if HBOOT USB PLUG is highlighted in blue, just press power to toggle to fastboot usb). Open a cmd as admin in the pc and type:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then check that your bootloader says *RELOCKED* at the top left corner. Then in fastboot usb, just run the RUU. When you are done, you can run the Hack Kit.
If you need further help, just let me know.

Thanks for the great replay,
I'm not sure if it was branded, cos I got it from my cousin and when I get from him, it was rooted and had a custom rom with it. Then after I got it I tried to install JellyTime and failed, then tried to flash with this RUU (RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_WWE_3.12.405.1_Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_225512_signed), then it also failed.
Then later I was able to install never version of ClockworkMod recovery and installed Blackout ICS incredible, and I also made a gold card. now my SD is a gold card. after I installed Blackout ICS incredible, phone works ok now, but I have no Wi-Fi, I think the wifi not work because it's S-ON.
I tried to S-OFF all the way possible but I was not able to do that. And I can only get internet to phone with mobile network or Internet Passthrough from Windows.
Now I'm gonna try the way you explained here and lets see if I get any success, and please let me know if any other solution out there, cos I really need Wi-Fi on this
Thanks again!!!! :good:

Little guidance requested

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..
