[Q] rooted but no recovery? - Desire HD General

hey guys i was rooting my phone a few months back but i got busy and never came back to it until now.
i used "visionary +" and rooted the phone successfully
i installed "rom manager" "terminal emulator"and "superuser" apps successfully
but i think thats as far as i went,
if i try to boot into recovery from the rom manager i get the red! recovery sign and can basically go no further
if i hold volume down and power i get the following
ACE PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.85.0007
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.03.02.26_M
eMMC-boot
Oct 11 2010,12:47:02
the menu options are
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
FACTORY RESET
SIMLOCK
IMAGE CRC
so have i rooted the phone but not installed a recovery image?
anybody got any tips on what to do next?
Thanks for reading

Depends on what you want to achieve, it could help if you mention that?
If you want to flash a recovery you need to do s-off and then flash CWM from rom manager.

How do I do s-off? I tried using the window application on this forum but it wouldn't work.
I use Linux

And yes I want to run custom roms

You need to S-OFF before you can install Custom recovery.

[Q] XTC Clip and 2.2.1

Hi everyone.
I have a two questions about the XTC clip that I can't find an answer to using search.
When I purchased the phone it came with the unrootable hboot and Android 2.2.1.
I have sourced a HTC clip and will be unlocking my Wildfire today. Once unlocked will I need to flash an older version of hboot - to then allow me to install a custom rom? or can I just install a custom rom as soon as it's done?
My second question is has anyone actually done this and can confirm it works?
Thanks!
xtc clip -> s-off ->
downgrade phone with ruu rom -> hboot 0.8 ->
unrEVOked for root ->
costum rom.
The phone is now set to s off!
Know where I can get the Rom to downgrade?
Thanks!

Dude it is a HARDWARE BOX!
aman_idrish
you really need to stop what youre doing. If you already could read, you would already know that you cant download xtc clip. Its an item you BUY on http://www.xtcclip.com and not a piece of software.
And NO it does not help asking the same questions 10 times, and then starting making private messages to people asking the same questions.
Now, start to grow up, use the search buttom and search for help, like the most of us. If you cant do that then I'm not sure you should ever bought a phone like android where you can make so many changes.
If you ever get it rooted, what can we then experience from you ? Questions about how you repair it from the disasters you have applied it ?
So start searching...... the answers are there including those you ask all the time. They have been answered.
@3xeno
can you tell me where i can download a softice, i'm really in the mood for one, but i cant find anything about it even though i've searched the forum ???? pls
p.s. it's not really hardware, its soft-ice

Thanks,
Downloading it at the moment - Thanks very much for the help. So I'm right in thinking this will downgrade my current hboot to a previous version - which will then let me install Cyanogen and other custom roms?
This is my first HTC phone so I have never actually rooted one before!
Hope this works.

No need of downgrade or Unrevoked if already S-OFF
Sorry to "disappoint" you guys but there is no need to downgrade & Unrevoked at all, if the smart is set to S-OFF.
Explanation is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12188132&postcount=15
NOTE: The method is successfully tested on several smarts.
If you want to suck the MAX of Wildfire try CyanogenMod 7 RC2 (need to reflash the radio to fix GPS), or better wait a while for stable release - coming soon.

MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP ANY USEFUL INFORMATION OR APPS FROM YOUR PHONE, BECAUSE YOUR ROM IS GOING TO BE WIPED.
First download the attachment. Remove the numbers from the name of the file so that it is renamed PC36IMG and place this on the root of your SD card. Power off the phone, then boot into your bootloader by holding the volume down and power buttons at the same time. Accept the update. If everything went OK, that should get rid of that Revolutionary at the top of your bootloader and flash the phone back to S-ON.
Next remove the file from your SD card by either rebooting your phone or going into your RECOVERY. I'm not going to give all the details for this.
Next, download this file.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VSFLE9CD
Rename it PC36IMG, place it on your SD card and follow the same steps as you did with the first PC36IMG file.
Let me know if that worked, because how to unroot the phone has seemed to be forgotten around here. Everyone is just happy to root.

That doesn't work completely for Gingerbread.
You can downgrade the ROM back to Froyo, but the S-ON tool will not work with the new bootloader, and the bootloader will not downgrade by running any of the PC36IMG Froyo files or RUUs if Revolutionary was used to turn S-OFF.
Assuming that you mean to unroot and regain S-OFF on an Evo 4G that was rooted using Revolutionary...
It seems that this has been worked out.

Oh by the way, thanks for the S-ON solution Captain. I thought of your idea about a week ago with the bootloader, and have a hex editor, but did not think it all the way through at the time.
this worked great but one prob. now when i try to re root with revolutionary it says im already s off but on bootloader im not. wassup with that?

You need to flash an unrooted stock ROM to roll back your HBOOT to an upgradable version. I assume you used the modded 6.17 HBOOT to S-ON, but didn't flash a stock ROM to restore your HBOOT to stock?
Because the modded HBOOT is a higher version number than Revolutionary, most likely it believes you're already rooted.
I used RUU to update my phone to latest stock Rom and flashed the attachment on this thread

You essentially have two options:
- Run the RUU (ROM Update Utility) for the latest stock ROM on your PC
- Flash the latest stock ROM, in PC36IMG.zip format through FastBoot

[HELP] update mt4g from 2.2.1 to 2.3.4 (or higher)

hope i'm posting this in the right place...
when i got my phone (MT4G) is was on 2.3.4
recently ..i've downgraded to 2.2.1, rooted and installed CM7
after about an hour i decided to go back to stock so using a stock froyo PD15IMG.zip (via power+volume-down) i restored my phone back to froyo 2.2.1 (unrooted)
unlike in the 2.3.4 version... there is no software update button
can someone help me figure out how to update from 2.2.1 to 2.3.4 (or higher)
i only rooted for learning purposes (i'm experienced in hacking other things...this is my 1st android) but now that im unrooted, i want to go back to the way my phone was when i got it (2.3.4 unrooted)
any help will be great
thanks in advanced

0.o ...how might i have done this w/o rooting? (for learning purposes)
i might root again for more EXP w/ it, but not now... i dont like losing my apps and personal settings lol
In exactly the same way as you did.
Rooting doesn't affect bootloader whatsoever, unless you flash the engineering one. And any of them will accept the stock PD15IMG.ZIP.
Update that seems to have killed the phone??
I am unfamiliar with the HTC root process and most of it's devices, but I have a friend that got her phone updated and it is now freezing, not sending or receiving messages, and rebooting randomly. She got it done at a store as her phone is no longer under contract and she is using it pre pay. Any help in getting her phone updated properly would be very much appreciated.
I'm used to Samsung, so I know that the root process may take a bit for me to get used to. Thanks in advance for any help. It is very much appreciated.

Place file named PD15IMG.ZIP on root of sd card. Make sure it is named exactly that, including all caps. Reboot into bootloader. It will detect the file and ask if you want to update. Click yes and cross your fingers. Should work fine, but there is always a risk when flashing anything. Good luck.

Touchscreen not working after aospx update!!!

Hey guys,
I updated my Desire HD to aospx BR7 but upon rebooting the touchscreen is not responding at all. I have tried rebooting the phone multiple times and have taken the battery out but its not working I have a nandroid backup for the BR6 but I have touch recovery so I cannot access that either. Is there a way to access that nandroid backup or flash a different rom without the recovery? I would really appreciate any help
Cheers
EDIT: I was able to use fastboot to flash the CWM recovery but upon restoring my aospx BR6 nandroid backup, the touchscreen is still not responsive. I tried a fresh install as well but its still not working. Any ideas?? Cheers

2:Connect your phone to your pc

Thanks for the reply mate. I found this RUU ROM from the Desire hd development list....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382235
Is that ok to flash? Also the poster is giving instructions on flashing it through the recovery but how would I go about flashing it through fastboot? Like I know when flashing radio you just write fastboot flash radio radio.img. Are there multiple disc images that I have to flash?

yea not responding at all mate. Yea might be hardware issue but the problem came up as soon as the ROM was flashed so I was thinking it might be like a touch driver or something. I tried flashing recovery but I get this

If i cant sort this out in the next week....I might as well send it for repair and hope that the service guys dont discover that the phone is rooted and I have voided the warranty. Appreciate your help Muikkuman :good:

Nope.
Check if you have a recovery. If not just flash one. I believe, not sure, that the hack kit will give you those options in the event you don't have a recocery.

Nah I dont have one. when i try to flash recovery i get this.....
writing 'recovery'....FAILED <remote:not allowed>
Check to see what are the other options for the hack kit. I can't remember if it has one if you are already s-off. But do not run it again since you are already rooted, if you do it will mess things up.
I'll try to do a search in a few hours on how to fix your issue, if I don't fall asleep first. I can't remember the solution off the top of my head.

Guess what....I tried a vodafone uk RUU...thinking that it might have the vodafone splashscreen at boot up so repair guys dont suspect anything weird. When i flashed it the touchscreen magically started working :laugh: Now in order to root, recovery and ENG S-off.....I know there is like the ace hack kit. While reading the instructions, it said that I shouldnt use the tool if I have S-off and i do. Should i bite the bullet and give it a shot?

ICS on Desire HD

Hi all,
New to the phone flashing scene. I want to update my Desire HD to run ICS. I checked YouTube but couldn't find any decent video's explaining what I need to do.
Was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction?
Thanks

Thanks for the link. After reading and trying to understand, I'm still unsure. I've worked with CWM before but I don't understand the S-OFF stuff?
I can't find a step-by-step tutorial
Well, boot into hboot and what does it say there? If it says s-off then all you'll need is to flash a recovery to flash roms.
S-on you'll need to root it using the hack kit.

Thanks for the reply. HBOOT? Turn the phone off and hold Volume - ? It tells me S-ON at the moment.
Is the phone still stock? If so, search google for AAHK, read the manual, its all you need to do. Easy

2.3.5 firmware?? download ace kit..press 1 and enter..if you have 2.3.5 the kit will ask yuo if you want to do a downgrade, press y..after some minuts you'll have 2.3.3..now close the kit and open it again..press 1 and enter..now your phone wil be root..
you must have debug usb on..and the phone must be in charge mod, NOT in mass storage...
sorry for my bad english..
