I am having some bizarre problems after running the ace hack kit to root my Inspire HD. Basically after running step 3 3 S-OFF, SuperCID and More
I cant get access to internet, ie browser, google network etc.
Phone works, sound is ok.
I tried to restore to stock and redo. but I've gone through this loop a few times. and now I'm stuck in no-mans land. cant get completely back to stock and cant get to a full root.
problem originated the first time through when I did not uninstall the HTC sync - I didnt realize it was running as I only installed for the driver.
Then when repeating, I got an incoming call during the process. I think this disrupted the script.
Any ideas

It might be because you are still on the downgraded rom and radio...which if you stopped after step 3, then you probably are
Try flashing this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1058042
It's a rooted stock rom with all the updates, should get everything up and running...then from there you can flash a custom rom if you prefer....
I'm actually kinda stuck between the two. not rooted so I cant run clockwork to flash, but not stock so the root script doesnt run clean.

Well that rom can't be flashed using clockwork.....you have to flash that one through hboot....
So if you boot into hboot at the very top it should say whether you are s-off or s-on...if your s-off you are good to go...
If you dont know how to get to hboot...its easy...
-turn off fast boot
-shut down phone
-turn on phone by holding down the power button and volume minus button at the same time, and hold it till the hboot screen loads..then release.
thanks
I have S-off, and I know how to get into Hboot, but I've never used it before.
I've been doing the trial and error thing and its not working too well....
so let me ask a few questions.
I take it that the rom.zip has to be on the sd card. doest the SD card need to be formatted in a specific way?
does the rom file need to be named anything specific?
once I get into Hboot, I believe the optin would be to select recovery.
Will that give me a prompt to select the rom file?

Instead of answering each specific question..I'll just post the steps, which should answer all your questions....
-Download the rom, (I would suggest the one that allows for side loading, but either is fine)
-rename the zip to....PD98IMG.zip (it has to be named exactly that)
-place it on the root of your SD card (meaning not inside of any folders)
-unplug you phone from your computer
-boot into Hboot....when you get there, dont press anything, just wait...it will automatically locate the zip....the first 2 attempts will fail, then the 3rd one will work....it will then ask you if you would like to update
-push volume up to update
EDIT: no need to format the sd card and when flashing a PD98IMG.zip, you never go into recovery....
EDIT2: once you get this flashed, you can then then download rom manager from the market, and flash clockwork recovery....which will allow you to flash any of the other custom roms using recovery....
If you're S-OFF, then you don't need anything special with teh SDCard (gold card not needed with S-OFF). Just rename the file PD98IMG.ZIP and be sure it is in the root of the SDCard. Don't worry too much; this method is more foolproof than others as the HBOOT does sanity checks on the image files in the zip and won't flash anything but the correct image to the correct partition.
Thanks guys, this worked. I'm back in business... trying not to screw thinkgs up
-my previous experience was rooting a nookcolor, which was a whole different process, since the SD has boot priority.
I successfully rooted my inspire today and i believe to have successfully loaded the following rom: (in order to upgrade the radio from the downgraded one)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1058042
when i try to load another rom i get an error saying it failed or aborted.
i also notice that with the above rom i have no internet access. (just shows bars and no E, 3G, H etc) this is causing a problem because i cant get flash clockwork mod to work, its trying to find an internet connection, even with wifi connected i cant get it to load. (or any other internet page)
ideas?
It sounds like the radio probably didn't upgrade. There may be some other issue causing the abort of other ROMs
Also, if you don't have clockworkmod, how are you attempting to load other ROMs? Most are CWM ready, but some are sent as PD98IMG.zip compatible which requires that you indeed have S-OFF.
Check your HBOOT screen (pull then replace battery, hold volume-down then press power-on) and make sure it says S-OFF at the top.
i do have clockwork mod. but at the moment when i try and go to flash clockworkmod recovery it says i dont have a stable internet connection, wifi on or not. Actually i just got it to work.
it does say s-off at the top of the bootloader screen.
"ace pvt ship s-off"
The only reason the rom is getting aborted is because the file is corrupted or you didn't Download it completely.

i dont think i failed to download it properly or that multiple roms are corrupt, but let me throw this at you...
i use a mac, and when i download a zip file it automatically unzips it then i rezip it. could this be where the problem is occuring?
i have no idea why it automatically decompresses the zip files. ill look into it though.
ive fixed the auto unzip and im going to try and flash the stock rom/radio i posted earlier in the thread. ill post here in a few min as to what happened.
now it looks like its doing something!
it appears to be flashing properly. it asked if i wanted to start the update etc.
ill let you guys know the results in another min.
That's a good sign. HBOOT does some sanity checks on the PD98IMG and won't load unless it like it.
it worked, i can tell the radio is proper now. it picked up the microcell immediately. also, ill just say this, whoever all created all this rooting apps etc are absolute genius's. it blows my mind. lol

That sounds like you are flashing something through the HTC bootloader not CWM. I don't know of any ROMs that are flashed this way. They all should go through CWM. Did you flash CWM on your phone through ROM manager?
i was told in another thread to download the bloat free stock att/updated rom/radio and install it first by renaming it PD98IMG.zip and running bootloader screen.
afterward i can use the rom manager to install roms apparently.

Strange, you may have had other circumstances that required something like that. It will work that way but you need to have CWM on your phone. Were you ever able to flash it successfully? Have you been able to boot into CWM by selecting recovery from the bootloader screen? Note, if you have that "PD98IMG.zip" file on /root of your SD card you will not be able to scroll down and select recovery. The bootloader will always try to "update" if that filename in present.
hhhmmm i notice that after i downloaded rom manager, fixed permissions and restarted it that i have no cell service. rom manager appears to be stuck as well, all i get is a hat with a circle/arrow symbol.
is there a chat room i can get in with one of you guys?
its stuck in rom manager i can use the up/down arrows and the power to select but it doesnt do anything. i cant remove the battery because the cover was put on by the incredible hulk.
okay got battery out. good grief!

Are you in ROM Manager or CWM? ROM Manager is just the app that flashes CWM recovery to your phone. Are you stuck in the black screen with orange text?
it was the black screen with orange text.
i have installed cwm onto the phone, used it to backup the current rom (orignal att, no bloat, good radio)
everything is back up and running and looks nice, signal is fine etc.
at this point can i use it to load a new rom from zip/sd card?
Ok, just saw your last post. You can disregard all of that below. Glad it is working for you now.
Ok, that is CWM recovery.
It sounds like it didn't flash properly or something since you couldn't select any options in the menus. Try re-flashing CWM from ROM Manager and then boot into recovery manually(don't use the boot into recovery option from ROM Manager). Power the phone down. Hold volume down and press the power button. You should be able to scroll down to the recovery option in the bootloader and select it. It will then take you back into CWM. (Make sure that PD98IMG.zip file is not on the /root of your SD card or the bootloader will try and install it and you won't be able to get to CWM recovery.
Just make sure you can move around the menus and just select reboot the system. Then you will know that CWM is working properly and you will be able to install ROMs from there.
i think what happened is i accidentally told it to go into recovery, thats when i got hung up. i think the rom/radio from the pd98img.zip worked fine. ill test as you say.
I have a really strange issue and I've done everything I can think of to fix it to no avail. I'm hoping someone here can give me a few pointers.
I'm working on a Inspire 4G for someone. The issue is that the phone reverts to a specific state no matter what I do. For example, if I wipe the phone, the phone boots back up to Froyo with all of his stuff on it. If I try loading an RUU or IMG file (Froyo or Gingerbread), it will "take" but boot to Froyo with all of his stuff on it. It's almost like it wipes itself and loads this image out of nowhere...
Another weird thing, which may or may not be related, is that I see a weird download in his notification tray. Apparently, the file named "WinBej2Setup.exe" was downloaded twice. I did some research on that and everything I see points to some kind of malware for a Windows PC.
Any and all help is appreciated.
Forgive me if this sounds stupid, but you do have S-off correct? I'm not sure about the weird file, have you tried to access it? Also what other roms have you tried to flash? Also what method did you use to root?

I don't have S-OFF. Here's all the bootloader info:

As for the file, I'm not sure where it's located. I can only see the notifications that they have finished downloading.
As for the history on the phone, I really can't say much since it's not my personal phone. The person I'm doing this for said he tried to root it using the ACE Hack kit and "some ADB commands" and failed. That's all the information I was given.
At this point, I can load anything to the phone but it will just revert to Froyo in the exact state that it's currently in.
For example, I just tried installing Gingerbread via the official RUU file. It goes through the entire process without a hiccup. Then it reboots and takes forever to load; but when it does, it's back on Froyo with all the owners files...
Personally I would root it, make sure s off, and make sure to format the memory card the corrrect way also.
Then I would install a custom rom.
And the file you speak of is also a game called bejewled. My girl loves that game.

This p-o-s I'm addicted to, and my woman is jealous of.
Reformat the sd card then do an official upgrade thru HTC. Go to the website and download the Gingerbread RUU and HTC Sync. If this doesn't work, complete the root process as suggested.Tell your friend you can't install exe files on Android. They need to be apk files or zip files if installed thru recovery.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using Tapatalk
I appreciate the advice guys, but I think you guys are overlooking what I'm trying to say... I've already tried running the official upgrades from HTC. The RUU says it's completed fine, but on reboot, I'm back on Froyo with all the same stuff on it.
I've even gone as far as extracting the IMG file out of the RUU and loading it through the bootloader. If I do this, it does the same thing-- says everything loaded fine but reverts on boot back to Froyo in the same state it was in prior.
I can temp root the phone using psneuter but that's about it. I have no idea how I'm going to achieve S-OFF if everything I do is wiped on reboot...
What I'm wondering is if there is a way to lock the entire phone down in a state where nothing can be changed; and if so, is there a way to disable this feature.
Are you sure you do not have a file on the root of the card named PD98IMG.zip? You may be installing this every time the phone boots.
How can you install a non RUU ROM when you have s-on?
Something does not make sense here. Also the exe file you talked about has no use on android as android can do nothing with it. Where do you actually see it?
Go back to square 1. What ROM is on the phone now? Do you have clockwork installed?
I'm not sure how to many different times/ways I can explain the same thing. The phone is on stock AT&T Froyo 2.2.1 (1.80.502.3). Currently, there is no custom recovery and it's not rooted.
The issue is that the phone always reverts (almost like it's doing a nandroid restore in the background) during boot to Froyo 2.2.1 (1.80.502.3) with all his stuff on it.
I've installed Gingerbread 2.3.3 (2.47.502.7) via the official AT&T RUU file
I've extracted the PD98IMG.zip from the Gingerbread 2.3.3 (2.47.502.7) RUU and loaded it via bootloader
I've installed Froyo 2.2.1 (1.80.502.3) via the official AT&T RUU file.
I've extracted the PD98IMG.zip from the Froyo 2.2.1 (1.80.502.3) RUU and loaded it via bootloader
I've done a factory reset from within the phone
I've deleted user data & cache with the stock recovery
After performing each and everyone of these steps, the phone hangs on the white HTC screen while booting and eventually boots up to Froyo 2.2.1 (1.80.502.3) along with all the guys stuff on it.

I agree completely; however, the issue I'm running into very unusual. With that being said, I'm trying to point out anything unusual that I notice with the phone. This file most likely has absolutely nothing to do with the problem I'm encountering, but I mentioned it just in case.

I wish this was the case; however, this wouldn't explain why all his stuff is still on the phone... The only time there is a PD98IMG.zip on the sdcard is when I put it there. Even so, I would have to boot the phone into bootloader mode and go through the prompts to get it take. More so, even if I did do this, it would just revert upon rebooting (hints the problem).
I appreciate the help but I think the problem is a little deeper than what has be presented.
That clears it up for me. You obviously know what you are doing. You mentioned "wipe" a few times which confused me. Didn't think there was a way to actually wipe it without a recovery installed. Sounds like one helluva confusing issue there. Goodluck.
Its always going to revert back to the previous state because its still s-on.
You need to get s-off before anything will change.

This I know is not true-- You can load signed code with S-ON. If what you said was true there would be no way to load an official RUU or OTA...
I appreciate the help, but telling me to get S-OFF (which I've clearly stated that I'm unable to do) is not getting me anywhere.
Is the original ROM branded? Have you tried installing a PD98IMG.zip from a gold card? Just a thought.
I recently "unlocked" my HTC Sensation 4g through HTC's official method. However, after successfully unlocking it, my phone is still set on S-On. Because of this, I am not recognized as a superuser, and so I cant boot into Clockwork Mod Recovery. Can anyone who knows more than me about this please give me a hand? This is my first time attempting any of this.
to make sure i understand this correctly- your phone now says "unlocked" at the top,but is still s-on?
what have you done to root?
once you have a truly unlocked bootloader,you can install a recovery thru that bootloader,and then flash superuser in that recovery.
having superuser permissions within a rom and being able to boot to a recovery shouldnt have anything to do with the bootloader.
if you are unable to install clockwork,or some other custom bootloader thru htcs "unlocked" bootloader,then they have lied to us... its not truly unlocked. that or something happened during the unlock process,possibly.
sorry im not of more help,its been awhile since i looked at the developer website. are there support forums there?
if everything is functioning correctly and you cant load whatever you want thru hboot,this unlock program is a joke. you could have gotten s-off with revolutionary or an xtc clip and not alerted them to the fact that you were messing with software and potentially "voided all or parts" of your warranty.
please keep us updated on this- im very interested to know how it turns out.
Thats exactly what it says. The method I used is on the front page of the htc dev site.
(the forum wont let me post outside urls yet)
The top of my H-boot screen says
"*** UNLOCKED ***
PYRAMID PUT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.80.0000
eMMC-BOOT"
So this is a problem. I think...
I just figured the official method through HTC would be the easiest and safest
Oh and when I try and flash Clockwork Mod Recovery through ROM manager this is the message I get
"You must root your phone for ROM Manager to function. Superusuer was not found at /system/bin/su or /system/xbin/su. Use Google Search on your computer to find instructions to root your phone."
or
"An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands."
So what have you done to root besides unlocking the bootloader? Just tried to install rom manager and clockwork?
Unless you have done something else,you are not rooted,you are just unlocked. Search the sensation forum for a PxxxIMG file that is clockwork recovery. When named that,and placed on root of your SD,hopefully your hboot will find and flash it.
Once you have done that,delete the PxxxIMG From your SD card,and place the superuser.zip file on it. Enter recovery thru hboot,and flash superuser.zip.it will install the root files.
After that you should be rooted.
Later I can try and find some links if you can't find them. PxxxIMG will be specific to the pyramid,I'm not sure what it is. For example,this type of file for the thunderbolt is PG05IMG.
Hope that helps.
edit:
here are some links for you:
download clockwork from here or multiupload (found the download in this thread)
download from one of those 2 places. rename the download "PG58IMG" and place on the root of your sd card. boot to hboot(power+vol down). when asked to update chose yes.
download superuser from here (this is the one i always use. found it here)
after deleting or renaming PG58IMG from your sd card,put the superuser.zip,boot to hboot,select recovery,then flash the superuser.zip.
hope it helps

Well I tried what you recommended and it did not work. But then I tried revolutionary and I managed to get s-off. However HBOOT doesnt recognize the P58IMG file. It just keeps saying P58IMG.*** NO IMAGE. (*** being different file types).
Im not sure if I need to try the recovery now that Im s-off but I cant flash the superuser file either.
gah! i wish you hadnt run revolutionary yet,as now we wont really know if your "unlocked" s-on hboot would have allowed the flash like a truly s-off one will.
one thing i know for certain,is that the troubles youre having werent because you were s-on. being able to place the superuser app,aND matching binary within the OS is not dependent on the hboot being s-off. s-off is handy,as it allows another method of flashing partitions like the radio and recovery. in the old days,before all the exploits were patched,alot of devices were rooted and a custom recovery installed from within the OS without ever bothering with the bootloader. the eris is a good example- prolly 95% of the eris community is still s-on and they change roms and such all the time.
-so i guess you downloaded the PG58IMG from multiupload? when i tried the first link,there was no valid attachement.
-you did name PG58IMG,correct? if you did name the file "P58IMG" maybe thats the prollem?
-make sure your SD card is formatted FAT32( not just plain FAT) and make sure you put the file on the root(not inside another folder)
*assuming you named the file correctly,have a FAT32 sd card,and placed the file onto the root of the SD,what happend when you went to hboot?
heres what should happen: the green writing flashes,hboot finds a PG58IMG file,then youll see a blue status bar on the far left as the phone unpacks it,then gold as it checks it. since the recovery file is small youll see that very fast. then you should get the "vol up to update" prompt.
if you have named the file correctly,FAT32 card,etc. maybe you just got a bad download. try downloading it again.
i downloaded and checked it- it contains a recovery image and an android info file,so it should be good to go. if you want to verify the integrity,the md5 i got is: 940fa14af3dcd055132adf292f668ad3
last and not least,if you ran revoltuinary it should have installed clockwork for you. if you dont want to keep messing with PG58IMG files,just run revoltionary again. it should detect your s-off,then ask if you want to install clockwork.
im sure youre getting a lil fustrated,but the method for rooting new phones is what im reccomending you to do:
1)unlock bootloader(revolutionary or htc unlock)
2)install recovery thru bootloader
3)install superuser files from recovery
it does work,i promise... ive done it many times on my thunderbolt.
Awesome, everything worked great. I had a few hitches but I figured them out. Thank you so much for all the help, I really appreciate it.
Until just now... I installed cm7 and now when i boot up my phone all I see is about 6 seconds of the cm7 start up animation (the one with the blue android guy on a skateboard). Then the phone starts up that same animation again. Its been doing this for about an hour now.

sounds like you didnt do a full wipe. pull the pattery,go back to recovery thru hboot,and wipe data/factory reset,wipe cache,wipe dalvik chache,and format /system. i dont usually format /system,but when youre stuck in a bootloop it cant hurt
well it was my own dumb fault... like extracting the .zip files instead of leaving them compressed.

Were you able to get a backup of the original config, (before you first rooted it?)
(I have the same phone, same radio, (hboot 1.57), for NTelos, and am able to boot, but just no wifi/mobile data).. So, if you have a good backup, I might be able to trade a stock kernel that works for my phone.
I'm desperate also, so I know how it feels to have a machine that doesn't work,...

I then loaded gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip, JmzStockDeodex-VirginMobile.zip and JmzStockodex-VirginMobile.zip
I still get the HTC white screen with red disclaimer. Then goes to buzz, lightning, Red Virgin Mobile splash screen with sound, and reboots to HTC white screen-boot loop.
When I got a PK76IMG.ZIP and tried to flash it, it says it can't open the zip file.
But I can still get to the Hboot, Fastboot screen and recovery. Backup was empty :s
Tried to load a different recovery, but just like pacman, twrp won't go away.
And just so you know, I did factory reset a gazillion times.
Help! What have I done, and what can I do to fix it? I am comfortable with command lines, poking around in code, etc., but not with a totally new device like this...obviously, too much to mess up.

Hey! Just restore your Radio back to stock. Google "RUU Stock for HTC ONE V VM" and there are some articles that could help you. Basically, you just run the RUU and extract some files in it.

Were you able to get a backup of the original config, (before you first rooted it?)
(I have the same phone, same radio, (hboot 1.57), for NTelos, and am able to boot, but just no wifi/mobile data).. So, if you have a good backup, I might be able to trade a stock kernel that works for my phone.
I'm desperate also, so I know how it feels to have a machine that doesn't work,...

About HTC Sync: The only reason you need HTC Sync installed is for the USB drivers that come with it. But the program itself has been known to cause conflicts. Make sure that HTC Sync is not running in the background by opening Task Manager in Windows and killing it if you find it lurking in there.
Here we go:
First of all, google "RUU of HTC ONE V CDMA" or sumthing. then you'll find alot of things. Choose the SPRINT/VM Then:
1. Download the correct RUU for your device from Football's Primo Shipped ROM Collection.
2. Charge the battery above 50% or for at least one hour. If the battery dies during the flashing process, you could hard brick the phone!
3. Run the RUU until the wizard comes up. While the RUU wizard is open,(LET IT OPEN UP, DONT DO ANYTHING!) find the temporary folder it created. (Open Explorer in Windows and type %temp% in the navigation bar.) There will be two folders with long encrypted names. In one of them you will find ROM.zip. Open it with 7zip and extract recovery.img or recovery_signed.img. Put it in the location were you've installed Android SDK tools. This is the stock HTC Recovery and it is needed to run the RUU.
4. Boot the phone into bootloader (power off, hold down volume and press power) and highlight FASTBOOT/B] using the volume rocker and pressing power. Then connect the USB cable. You should see FASTBOOT USB.
5. Open a command prompt in Windows and navigate to the folder where you installed Android SDK tools. Flash the stock recovery extracted in step 3 above using the following command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
or
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img
6. Relock the bootloader using the following command:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
7. Re-run the RUU. It will restore the device to it's original condition, locked (though *** RELOCKED ***) and unrooted.
Once the install is done you'll have unlock the bootloader again using the token you already have from the first time, reflash CWM Recovery and re-root. All this will be 10x easier than the first time.
If you do re-root your phone, be 100% you backup the stock ROM in ClockworkMod Recovery before making changes!
