Due to NAND control we aren't able to use ADB in recovery mode. However, we are able to update from update.zip on the SDCARD.

darrenjdoc is going to download Clockwork Mod and let us know if we are able to load it up.
Its a long shot and probably won't work, but whats the harm in trying
Confirmed not working
29/10/10
Currently looking at extracting the recovery image from the device and rebuilding Clockwork Mod for it.

This should enable us to flash an RUU that has a different CID to our own device

Feel free to try that out. Dont blame me if it bricks your phone though

What happens if you select 'Recovery'? Do you actually get a recovery mode?

Dunno, but i tried it and I think its wiping my phone lol..
Ive got a phone icon with a ! in it
I think that is recovery mode

Great job! Thanks for experimenting with this

Ahh, isn't that what the Desire used to do? I'm fairly sure it is. Paul O'Brien then figured what file to push and it would load into a decent bootloader. I guess this will be possible at some point again then...
I think your data is safe. I 'think' (but don't know for sure...) pull the battery and boot and you should be fine.

Yup, same as desire. Hold the volume up for 3 secs then tap the power allows for a custom recovery via update.zip? Clockwork time

You mean volume up and power button.
I'm not sure if clockwork works trough this recovery tho, adb should have root access I guess.
edit: a friend of mine had a HD, lets see if we can brick it. But first research what others already know about the G2 and what this eMMC is...

Ummm just gave me

does G2 do all this already? just wondering if this is a clue whether this is way around NAND lock on desire HD that may not be available on g2

We just need a S-Off version

And how would we do that

??

Find a full RUU of 0.06 test, 1.01 test or 1.04 test.

With a S-OFF we can full root the phone? Just a noob question, trying to understand what lock HD have... also all HDs come with that? i have read that just T-Mobile have this.

You think S-ON bootloader would allow flashing test and older versions of ROMs?

No but mayb edit it so we can flash the s-off bootloader like the Desire

Sooooo tempted to flash OTA 2.2 just to use this to s-off. Somebody try it on the .57 bootloader to see if it works for s-off!

says only supports 1.02

Strange, you would think an exploit in 1.02 would also exist in anything earlier and could be utilized.

I got .057 on mine ... was holding off on pushing the upgrade ... but I guess its time to get the hboot up to specs

i would hold off until official but who knows
i updated just for this, i was told it only supports 1.02

So, in theory...you could nandroid back up your CM7, update to 2.2.2 and then S-OFF and then nandroid restore your CM7 back up?

what i did

I pulled the trigger and upgraded with RUU to get HBOOT 1.02.0000, but alas, now I'm stuck. It hangs at "Acquiring root (method 1)..."
Oh Well. Hope they get a newer beta soon. Can't mess with my Aria now.

Roger...looks like i'll have to get a Live CD made and get this tonight...need to find directions for updating to 2.2.2 :s

I did a RUU update and when I got back to the channel window BETA WAS CLOSED ...

told you to hold off

OK, reran from my gentoo box instead of my ubuntu VM and it worked. I'm a little annoyed that it says ---AlphaRev--- at the top of HBOOT. Won't make it easy to slip by the att warranty desk.

Well this sucks, I missed it. Now lets wait another month for the actual release lol...

Tried that. Shows all the images then shows "Bypassed" next to hboot and some message scrolls by like "cannot roll back hboot image" or something like that.

Need to unroot and s-on.

My phone's flex cable is damaged some how and I need to unroot it and turn s-on, anyone able to give me some helpful links? I searched and not sure if anything I found was still viable to use.
I am running 2.3 and have updated radio.

Just run the ruu. You can get the 2.2 ruu from the hboot downgrade thread or the 2.3 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1335068

Thanks, to add to it, my screen now won't come on at all, any one can give me a bit of step by step?

Will the screen come on while in bootloader or it doesn't work at all? Either way, as long as your pc will recognize the phone you should be able to run the RUU exe. Just plug in your phone with it powered on and run the RUU on your pc.

Will that turn my s-off to s-on also?

DId you use SuperCID? you should just try different ruu until one of them works. Did you try to get into recovery aka holding down the vol button when you power on?

i dont know what is SuperCID so i guess i didn't use it.
recovery is the only thing that i can get into right now.
i tried factory reset. didn't work.
im quite new to android so i dont know too many things.

Well if you didnt that means you can only use an ruu for the image you currently have or any ruu after after that. im not to familiar with rogers ruu version numbers but like i said equal or great. I would go into recovery and and go into fastboot and try the ruu then. that should do the trick and you still need to be relocked but you said you did that already so good luck!

thx, but i still dont understand how to do it.
can u plz tell me the detail?
what files do i need ? or is there a thread that can help me through the process ?
btw, there is no equal or greater ruu, i searched it , found a few thread asking the same thing but no result.

yeah it seems like you did take all steps. with changing your CID im not really sure what to do. illl be back if i find anything but right now im stuck. sorry man.

drklazarus26 said:
Yeah I was just looking around and I noticed there but only one ruu. this is a link to the ruu ROGER RUU. its an exe so basically hold the vol down button while you turn the power on. you should have a screen that says "fastboot", recovery and so on. select fastboot and connect to your computer. when it finishes installing the drivers and the phone says fastboot usb in red then run the ruu.
actually its not an exe. sorry i need to look it up myself
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
yeah, that is not an exe file. it's a zip file that should replace the rom.zip when u do the ruu (according to the posts online).
that's what i did. the thing is that when i did the ruu thing, my phone version is greater then the one u can find online. so it's not working this way. or maybe im not doing it right.
this phone is killing me right now.
thank u.

no one seems to have a good solution to this???

i just solved it.
it's quiet simple actually.
for ppl who may have the same problem as i did , this is what u need to do :
flash recovery, then go in to recovery mode, wipe everything, except the external storage, then install a new rom
simple...
yea , first of all , unlock ur device.
thx/.

Where did you get the stock ROM? What version of Android did your phone have when shipped?

i had ics on it before i tried to downgrade. i downloaded the stock rom from another site. it was the original stock rom no ota updates i believe. i dont remember the android version.

You haven't clarified whether it was a ROM or RUU, where you got the file, or whether your phone was shipped with Gingerbread. That is important information. I think at this point I'm going to assume you flashed a Froyo RUU on a phone shipped with Gingerbread.

It was new a year ago? Yeah, you flashed a Froyo RUU on a phone shipped with GB. That messes your bootloader. glevitan has a guide that has, among other things, instructions on how to fix that, but given that AAHK has been retired I don't know if the files to fix it are still available.

AAHK is retired. The server hosting the files it pulls from may very well be gone. And it's not AAHK itself that will fix it anyway; it's just instructions by AAHK's author using files hosted on AAHK's site. It's not included in the AAHK itself.
AAHK has a ton of very clear warnings saying NOT to flash a Froyo RUU on a phone shipped with GB. I would strongly advise that you read more closely next time. You will need to wait for glevitan to show up and see if he can help.

ok. thanks for the help.
