DO NOT FLASH A NEW RUU OR OFFICIAL ROM IMAGE UNLESS YOU *REALLY* KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING !
The title says it all!

As the title suggests, this is warning against flashing the new RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.72.405.3_R_Radio_12.28e.60.140f_ 26.04.02.17_M2_release. It contains a new version of HBoot that breaks root and standard S-OFF! Please refer to these threads for more info:

You may be safe if you have full radio S-OFF and SuperCID but this is unconfirmed, and I would steer well clear until the DEVs have cracked open this latest HBoot.

Confirmed:
Only if you have full radio S-OFF you can 'downgrade' to 1.32xxxxxx and root
Yes, I can confirm that, too. You have to have Super-CID (Radio S-OFF) to downgrade. Rooting is not possible in this new one. Yet.
Can please someone explain me what's the real difference between ENG S OFF But CID 11111 and SHIP S OFF and CID HTC....?
ENG S-OFF: It is engineering bootloader S-OFF (may include Radio S-OFF). Allows custom bootloader commands, for example radio flashing, also allows to install custom roms.
SHIP S-OFF: Radio S-OFF, does not allow radio flashing, but allows ClockworkMod flashing. Usually comes together with SuperCID.
CID 11111111: Super-CID, Super Carrier ID, allows you to downgrade, and flash really anything to the phone without the phone saying "no thanks".
CID HTC__xxx: HTC Carrier ID, does not allow downgrading via RUU, but you can still flash through ClockworkMod if you are S-OFF.
Thank you very much for this answer..I ask because i cannot find this information somewhere in one post!
I am with ENG S-OFF and CID 11111111
So i can flash the new RUU and i am able to revert back to 1.32xxxxxx and root again.Correct?
Looks like its been rooted.

At least it has if you flash just the system.img
Yeah but it needs clockworkmod, which goes away if people use the actual RUU. Also flashing system.img does not replace the bootloader, so S-OFF stays in fine (also hboot S-OFF).
How can you tell what your CID is?

Bootloader > Fastboot > System Info (or something like that)
If you are SuperCID then it is 11111111 if not, then it begins with HTC_xxxx
looks like also this RUU_Ace_Orange_ES_1.75.75.2_Radio_12.28e.60.140f_2 6.04.02.17_M2_release also seems to stop you gaining root and fix's patched Hboot as someone saying he flashed the rom and can't gain root.

can you tell how to extract the system.img from rom?
all i get is a [0] file. dont know what to do with it.
[HOW TO SAFELY FLASH THE NEW ROM AND BE ABLE TO REVERT BACK]
Currently, the new ROM (1.72.405.3) has a new HBOOT (so you can't install ENG HBOOT S-OFF) and is difficult to root (not as simple as it is with previous ROMs). However, it also has a better radio, and a faster ROM with various bugfixes. This ROM is also Android Froyo v2.21. If you want to try out the new ROM, whilst maintaining the ability to 'revert' back to your older, hackable state then follow the below instructions carefully. Also, do not worry about extracting system.img files and whatnot.
*It is recommended to do a NANDROID BACKUP first
*All RUUs can be obtained from www.xdafil.es/DesireHD/RUU/
*If you don't do steps 1-3 properly and flash the new ROM, you will not be able to revert back
*Radio S-OFF and SuperCID can be obtained by following instructions in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537
*Tutorial for flashing RUUs (needed for steps 4 & 8): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841890
1. Install Radio S-OFF (NOT ENG HBOOT S-OFF) and SuperCID
2. Go to bootloader, then System Info. (If System Info is not there, but you have SHIP S-OFF skip step 3 and proceed to step 4)
3. Make sure CID is 11111111 *AND* the bootloader shows S-OFF. If not, repeat step 1
4. You can now flash the new ROM (1.72.405.3)
5. This will remove ENG HBOOT (if you had it) and ClockworkMod
6. If you did steps 1-3 correctly, your Desire HD should still be S-OFF. Go to bootloader and check. If not, you did not do steps 1-3 correctly and will have to wait for the new HBOOT to be cracked.
When you are done with the new ROM and want to go back, follow the instructions below:
7. Download the HTC RUU 1.32.405.6 of your choice (Since you are SuperCID you can flash any RUU)
8. Flash it to your Desire HD
9. Root your ROM using Visionary, and install ROM Manager and flash ClockworkMod. You can optionally install ENG HBOOT S-OFF now if you like.
If you made a NANDROID Backup, you can restore this now from ClockworkMod

I have this working. The supplied .zip file does not include Superuser.apk. After following the instructions and then installing Superuser from the market I now have root on this rom.
Look forward to testing it over the next couple of days while I lay in hope of some custom roms based off this version.
EDIT: Superuser keeps force closing
My bootloader says
ACE PVT ENG S-OFF
HBOOT-0.85 2007 (PD9810000)
and system info says
CID-11111111
Am I good to go or shall I do something else?
Thank you for sharing info.
doh!
being used to the days of winmo I flashed this rom over my cyanogen taking a backup first.
Now I can't revert back to the old stock rom, any way of doing this (easily ish)?
Hi, I'm ENG S-Off but my CID is not 1111111, what's the safest way to do the Super-CID?
I'm stucked abroad using a **** phone cos I can't use another sim in my DHD

My phone is unbranded , unrooted & stock using ROM 1.47.401.4.
I have downloaded the latest ota 2.10.401.4 and in that zip there was a firmware zip in it.
i renamed the firmware zip to pg88img.zip and put it in my phone's sd root.
After the reboot of the phone has updated the firmware BUT thats all.
If i reboot the phone stucks on the HTC logo but also i can go to the bootloader options if on the reboot i hold down the volume button.
Is there any way to restore the phone?
I try to flash the stock rom but nothing.
Can anybody help please??
Resolution:
If anyone has the same problem and has hboot-2.00.0002 & S-ON you have to unlock the bootloader via htcdev.com site following all the steps and flash the EXT4 Recovery via FASTBOOT and NOT ADB.!!
Then go to recovery and flash any custom rom.

Which update did you download? There are a couple available - odexed & deodexed.
Maybe worth trying which ever one you didn't download the first time?
Also are you giving it plenty of time to load? First boot from a fresh install always takes a long time.
Don't worry, you don't have a brick

That would be a choice, but I would say you'll be better of to use xtc-clip to gain s-off, after this everything is possible or just give it back for warranty and let them repair it,
because it's still s-on, but just to know, what else where in the zip?
Could it be that you forgot something, have you tried a factory reset?

Was it an official ota update, or from this forum?
If you tried to flash the odexed version, many users have problems with this. Can you try the deodexed version?

I was with the original shipped rom 1.47.401.4 S-ON & UNROOTED.
I downloaded via my computer http://liveimage.htc.com/OTA_Saga_S...1.47.401.4_release_217301kjfuq12qqm0wuhg7.zip
In that zip file there was another zip file called Firmware.zip.
I renamed the firmware.zip to pg88img.zip and i put it in the root of my sd card.
I rebooted holding the volume down button and the phone went to bootloader mode found the pg88img.zip and flashed it.
After that the phone goes only to bootloader showing

Is there any way to flash the OTA via fastboot since over adb i get the message device not found..???
Do you have a "recovery" option in the fastboot menu? If so try to go to this menu and see if adb recognises it then. But you have probably tried this already, right.
With adb, when you type 'adb devices', your phone is not shown, correct?
I'm not sure about getting S-off with the new hboot, I did mine with the old hboot.
You could try to download the deodexed rom on this page and flash that, but you need to get into recovery first.
Sorry, not much help I'm afraid.
Did you try to install these fastboot drivers?
Unfortunately i have tried everything so far but didn't work.
The xtc clip maybe is the only way.. Or if the s-off solution of revolution will support in future my hboot and do it that way.
I also noticed that when i tried to flash the stock rom i had 1.47.401.4 and was stuck on the HTC logo the update software said that i had rom 11.10.401.4.!!!!!
Since i flashed the original fota why the version said 11.10.401.4 and not 2.10.401.4??
WTF IS GOING ON.??
Well, I still don't think you have a brick - you can get into the bootloader, you just need your pc to recognise it via USB.
Have you tried flashing the previous hboot version you had? To enable revolutionary s-off?
Also have a look around the general Android forums, there are some very experienced peeps there who may be able to help.

You should ask this question on the XTC phone tools forum to raskal to be 100% sure that this new version is covered (see link on the XTC in my sig)
and as @tectas has said, there is still a possibility that you are still able to return under warranty and allow them to resolve it for you..
sorry unable to assist with confidence.
EDIT: see this thread that I created a while back that contains another link within it to lots of XTC owners around the world within it, but I'd confirm that the new HBOOT is covered before you run XTC http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076937&highlight=xtc
I ask them. Thanks anyway.
The 3 things left.
1. to ask xtc forum if my hboot-2.00.0002 is supported.
2. to wait till revolution s-off supports in the future my hboot.
3. to wait till someone leakes the stock signed ruu 2.10.401.4
That's all unfortunately..

Run RUU with HBoot version of 0.98.0000 or 0.98.0002 to be able to S-OFF with Revolutionary.

Hi
First:
In order to use revolutionary s-off, you'd need to lower your software version number(misc_version)
1. Lock your bootloader- fastboot oem lock
2, then flash correct RUU -matching your CID
3.use revolutionary....
Second:
As you state in your bootloader screen info,
, htcdev unlock worked indeed- your bootloader is UNLOCKED-as you've said yourself-
, that's what it does...
Third:
If you wish to update-as you said-then update to what?
a) official RUU saga 4.0.4:
1.and foremost- you must lock your bootloader again in order to flash a RUU
2.if your device is branded by any mobile carrier- must create gold card
, in order to flash WWE version of the RUU
3. Certainly you flash that in fastboot
b) custom ics rom:
1. There are many to chose from- much more sofisticated than the official RUU 4.0.4 release
2. Not need to s-off realy in order to flash most of them
3. You only have to flash boot.img from the rom you're flashing,, via fastboot (again)
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1146601
This is where it all begins
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2143855
And that is where people could render some knowledge for you
Edit:
Last but not least:
Keep unlock_token from htc- in a safe place because
, if you decide to upgrade by the official RUU
, you must unlock bootloader again in order to flash any custom rom
, and you do it by that same key (unlock_token)....
When there are any troubles with connection < pc- phone > check your windows drivers
Thank you.
I was trying to flash official ics but I will go for a custom instead.
I see now where I was going wrong thanks I thought I had to unlock the Hboot by making it s-off to flash official rom of ics, thats why it was failing because its unlocked.
Thank you

I just want my phone to work again regardless of version but iv tried 6 or 7 RUU and flashing roms etc
What I would adore is a link to a RUU that will work as they are just a exe but if there is amore complicated way id need simple steps to follow. I also have the htc desire s toolkit . it flashed a ruu zip for me and it all worked except the signature failed? so it didnt work
Thanks in advance
You can't install older RUU if you don't do misc_version or GOLDCARD.For me that worked.
You have to unlock bootloader(HTCDev) and flash recovery.img (I use 4ext).
Please check this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2273016.
From what I can see you want to install new rom or repair old.You can unlock your phone and flash any rom but install RUU you need newer RUU that match your CID.Check this guide.Be careful bc installing RUU you install new hboot radio and everything else.Not just system.
For you it's better to flash new rom when you unlock bootloader.Don't forget to flash boot.img via fastboot after you flash rom and gapps.

Hello, you forgot to "S-off" your phone.
I find that to get SuperCID and S-Off only works if you have a ROM that has Sense on it. Try this:
Download ViperOne Rom and in install it. (Hopefully it will load and bootup)
If it doesn't get past the Logo screen go into the "Bootloader" on the phone (Power + Volume Down). Connect it to your USB and make sure it's says "Fastboot USB". Extract "boot_hboot2.15.img" in the ZIP (in Kernal Folder).
Put the file in the same folder in your Fastboot/ADB . Type in "Fastboot Flash Boot boot_hboot2.15.img" and is should allow you to start up the ViperOne ROM.
From there you should be able to do your SuperCID and S-off. (Make sure your Rooted, SuperSU, and Busybox is installed before doing SuperCID and S-off)
barbudaniel20 if you just want to load up a ROM that is designed for 2.15, then just find the "boot.img" in the ZIP file of the ROM and then got to "Bootloader" type "Fastboot Flash Boot boot.img"
That should load up your ROM. S-off allows the ROM to automatically install the boot.img to the phone.
Thank's for reply valky. The phone runs now on viper rom but with signal problems and is not s-off 'cause i don't succed in this action. Maybe I don't find a good tutorial. Did you know one good?
PS: Maybe I have to flash back the stock rom and after do all these, s-off, root etc.? Is possible if I didn't remember which was the original? I can flash wathever I want? :S

Viper rom actually installed? Then use rumrunner.us to set the phone S-OFF. Once done you can install another radio version.
BTW whats the specific problem with the reception / signal ?
I will be back next month with my s.off news thank.s for site.
The problem is that I use my phone for 2..or 3 hours and after that I have to restart it because I lost my signal and I.m unable to make calls .. and I think that I can fix it by flashing another rom but I have to succed first in s.off.. then I have to chose one good rom

You can install any HBOOT 2.15 rom with S-ON. S-OFF is only needed to flash custom radios or HBOOT 2.16 roms.
