Temp Root:
1. Enable USB debugging on your phone and place your phone on CHARGE ONLY (If this doesn't work, try choosing 'HTC Sync' when connecting USB)
2. Download the DHD Downgrade folder and extract it to the root of your hard drive (usually this is the "C:\" drive on your computer)
3. Run the file named "RUN THIS FOR ROOT". A command prompt will open and will begin to do the adb steps for you.
Alternatively (If step 3 fails):
1. Open a command prompt (right click "Run as Administrator" is using Vista or W7) and locate the downgrade folder (type "CD C:\DHDDowngrade" minus the quotes in CMD)
2. Run the below commands (be sure to press enter after each line)
adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo
adb shell /data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start FBB00000 -end FFFFFFFF
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If the scan hangs, just reboot your DHD and start again.
You may not get all the messages (due to flushing issues when we kill adb), but if you get kicked back to your system command prompt, try "adb shell"
If you see '#' you successfully have temproot.
If you want to use Titanium Backup, you must do the following:
1. Download Busybox, su & fixsu.sh and Superuser.apk
2. Run the following commands in CMD...
adb push fixsu.sh /data/local/tmp
adb push su /data/local/tmp
adb push busybox /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fixsu.sh
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/su
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/busybox
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
3. Install Superuser.apk
4. Install Titanium Backup from the Market
5. Run the following commands in CMD:
adb shell
# cd /data/local/tmp
# ./fixsu.sh
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you see...
rm failed for /system/bin/su Read-only file system
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
...ignore it
You can now use Titanium to backup all User Apps + Data (You can backup System apps too)
If you don't want to go any further than rooting, and just want temproot to remove bloatware, you can also use Titanium backup to do that.
Temproot will be enabled until phone is rebooted.
Downgrade:
1. Create a goldcard:
1. Format SDCard to FAT32
2. Download Goldcard Helper from Android Market
3. Open Goldcard Helper with the SDCard in the phone, and you will see the mmc2 reverse CID
Note: Do not use the Copy feature in the app as this will copy the wrong CID!​
Alternate to the Goldcard helper app:
1. Open up a command prompt (Windows Key + R, type "CMD", press enter)
2. connect your phone as "charge only" and have usb debugging enabled
3. navigate the command prompt to the downgrade folder.
4. Type the following command:
adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc2/mmc2:*/cid
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
5. Select and copy the cid
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
4. Go to http://psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard
5. Enter your email address and the mmc2 reverse CID that is showing on the Goldcard Helper app then submit it
6. The img file will be emailed to you, download and save it somewhere you will remember
7. Download this hex editor - http://mh-nexus.de/en/downloads.php?product=HxD
8. Open HxD hex editor on your computer by right-clicking it and clicking 'Run as Administrator'
9. Mount your SD card to your computer, preferably using a card reader but you can use your phone as well
10. Go to 'Extra' menu > 'Open Disk'. Select Removable Disk (which should be your SD card) under Physical Disk (and NOT logical disk), uncheck 'Open as Readonly' and click OK
11. Go to the 'Extra' > 'Open Disk Image' and open the goldcard image downloaded in Step 6. . Select '512 (Hard disks/Floppy disks)' as the sector size when prompted and click OK
12. In the goldcard image tab, go to 'Edit' > 'Select All' and then 'Edit' >'Copy'
13. In the 'Removable Disk' tab, highlight offset (line) 00000000 to offset (line) 00000170 including the 00000170 line and go to 'Edit' menu > 'Paste Write'
14. Click 'File' > 'Save' and accept any warning that you get
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2. Place the stock 1.32 PD98IMG.zip on the root of your SDcard/Goldcard
4. Open the file in the folder named "RUN THIS FOR DOWNGRADE". The command prompt will opn and begin to do the adb steps for you.
Alternatively (If step 4 fails):
Run the below commands in CMD:
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell /data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.31.405.3
adb reboot bootloader
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
5. You should see a white bootloader screen, press the power button to enter the bootloader and it should automatically start to detect the PD98IMG.zip file.
6. You will see a blue progress bar on the right of the screen while the file is being checked. You should now be asked to confirm if you want to install this ROM, press 'Volume Up' to confirm. Wait patiently while the ROM is installed.
7. Once the installation is complete, press the 'power' button to restart your phone.
You have successfully downgraded to stock 1.32
How to Root 1.32:
1. Download and install Visionary+ to your Desire HD
2. Open Visionary+ and choose "Temproot now". The screen may go black and may become unresponsive, please allow it to finish.
3. After temproot, choose "Attempt permroot now". This will attempt to permanently root your Desire HD. Your device should then reboot.
4. After reboot, you should successfully be rooted.
How to Radio S-Off & SimUnlock Your Desire HD - Thanks to jkoljo
How to Flash recovery with ClockworkMod
1. Search Android Market for a free app called 'ROM Manager'. Once found, install it.
2. Once it has been installed, launch 'ROM Manager' on your phone.
3. In ROM Manager, tap 'Flash ClockworkMod Recovery'. Tap on 'Desire HD' when it pops up.
4. Be patient as ClockworkMod is installed, as it can take quite some time. Once it has finished , you have ClockworkMod recovery installed on your phone.
You should now have stock 1.32, root, S-off, and CWM Recovery.
You can now flash a ROM using Clockworkmod
FAQs​
Q. How do I run CMD?
A. Windows Vista and 7 users: Press Start, type CMD. You should see CMD sppear, right click and 'Run as Administrator'. Windows XP users: Press Start, Press 'Run', type CMD, then click OK.
Q. How do I enable USB Debugging?
A. On your Desire HD go to Settings -> Applications -> Development -> Enable USB Debugging
Q. Why do I keep getting CID error in bootloader?
A. This is most often a problem with your goldcard. First make sure you have created a goldcard using the guide at the top of this post. If you have created a goldcard, format the SDCard using FAT32 and try again making sure you have followed each step very carefully. Also, make sure you have the .bin file on your SDCard after doing the adb steps.
Q. When going into bootloader it says "no image or wrong image"
A. This message will be displayed when files it is looking for cannot be found. Leave it to continue and it will update. If it displays this message after searching for PD98IMG.zip, then the file is damaged or you do not have it on your SDCard.
Q. Do I have to disconnect the phone from the computer before booting into bootloader?
A. Yes....Simplez
Q. I have tried many times to create the goldcard, but continue to get errors.
A. This could be because you are continuously making mistakes, or your SDCard cannot be made into a goldcard, try another SDCard.

Don't change any thing as far as I know It'll boot into "Fastboot" incase if it didn't choose "FASTBOOT"
It'll check Recvoery, Tp , etc. I forgot to name them.
Follow CuBz90's guide it works 100%. I downgraded n rooted n now running custom ROM.

Is there a way to gain root status in 2.37, so the phone can be backed up (via Titanium backup or similar) prior to the downgrade?
Failing that is there any other way to backup the phone?
I assume that when downgrading all data will be lost.

kindly reupload the "Download this ROM - Mirror" link as whenever i click it i get

You can backup apps with MyBackup, but you cannot backup the data as 2.37 cannot be rooted

Hellow, just want to confirmed it works! Happy happy joy joy! Thanks for all magicians here that made this possible!

I ve unbranded dhd do I need to make goldcard
mechanical engineer

I have added the additional step of going to SoftBank ROM into the official downgrade guide
I am still looking forward to getting a proper, universal root method for 2.37, but this will do for the time being.

I bought dhd when it was on 2.2.. so I rooted it and after some time made ota to 2.37 build.. now phone is s-0ff and its unbranded .. do I still need to make gold card.. jkoljo pls help ...
mechanical engineer

Well this is not even my thread, why are you asking my help here?
Anyway, you do not need to make a goldcard, and you do not even need any downgrade guide. Just put stock 1.32.405.6 PD98IMG.zip (get it from my downgrade guide) into your SD card and reboot to bootloader. Accept the update and make a cup of coffee.

[Need Serious Quick HELP!!!]One S stuck.on bootup

im on my one s, found out that my volume wasnt working an so i tried to fix it by reflashing the rom, but by accident i did a factory reset and the rom was gone, i already wiped the davlik and all that then i barely remembered that i already deleted the rom (was flashing T-Mobile noble series 7.5 for USA version) so now i tried to reboot the phone and im stuck on the bootup and it stays there for a GOOD while..im freaking out right now, anyway i can still get into the bootloader and fastboot but i cant get the rom back into my phone, i did no back ups and im really scared, if anyone can help it would be totally awesome. And if it helps I used the hasoon toolkit 1.0 to unlock my phone and Paul o Brian method to root it.

any help making this easier, idk what the hell im doing, im just trying to push my rom into the phone, this is confusing, im going insane!!!! ok i need this alittle easier im a noob at this, i got my phone rooted with cwm and i accidentallly erase the rom now im trying to put it back in. is there a certain adb fastboot that im missing cuz i tried it and it gives me the correct prompt file....this is really starting to irritate me, it doesnt even push the rom in......i would really appreciate some step by step process on how to do this today.this is my first phone and i really dont want it to brick at all.

let's assume you have adb and fastboot files on pc, if not you need to either install them to a folder of your choice ie Android or install android sdk and set them up that way:
These are the files that need to be in that folder--
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28338566/adb_fastboot_win32.zip
but if you have them on pc and can connect phone and open command window, cd to your folder where the adb and fastboot files are, maybe something like cd/ hit enter then cd android/android-sdk-windows/tools, or whatever the path is
when you are there and right after the whatever your path is type adb devices and you should get your phone id #
you can google some of this stuff and see videos
if you can get that far do this: download the same rom to your pc and extract it with winrar. open it and you should see a system.img and boot.img file. copy them to the folder where you have the adb/fastboot files
then after you have the adb devices command recognizing your phone type this:
adb reboot bootloader which will put you into fastboot, to verify that before you proceed you can type fastboot devices and see the phone ID # again--then
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase boot
fastboot -w
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
not sure if you need fastboot -w since you already wiped userdata
you should then be able to get rom booted back up and reset things up again--then nandroid and you should always have an sdcard bu also
if you don't have a recovery anymore you can fastboot it same way by typing
fastboot flash recovery "exact name of recovery.img"
fastboot reboot
I am no expert and you can research this stuff till you feel comfortable or someone can confirm

Yes still no.luck, I'm still stuck on boot up...

You seem to be able to use adb from what you post. So
1) Boot the phone into CWM
2) Put the rom into the same folder on your pc as the adb program
3) Open a command prompt on the pc, and navigate to the folder with the rom and adb in it, eg "cd c:\adb"
4) Push the rom to the phone: "adb push rom.zip /mnt/sdcard" (if it doesn't work, try it again and change "mnt/sdcard" to just "sdcard"
5) In CWM, choose flash zip file. The zip file should be in the root of your sd card.

Yea I'm still stuck and after a long time of seeing a couple of people not being able to fix my issue, I'm wondering of someone can confirm if this works or if it's possible to flash a ROM without putting it in the phone just flash it from adb? Been a while since I got on and I'm just gonna dedicated time on fixing my one s.... I really appreciate the feedback

Yes you can push it thru adb as mentioned above
i have to call it a nite. Just google pushing a Rom thru adb for more Info if needed
---------- Post added at 05:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:12 AM ----------
You never mentioned just downloading Rom to pc and copying to sd card. Then thru recovery wipe and flash rom.
---------- Post added at 05:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:21 AM ----------
Never mind guess you can't connect phone pc and mount to copy files

Yea I'm gonna try that today but I was wondering if somehow we can make the computer flash it onto the phone for us (you know technology now a days) for situations like this for people who can't get access to their sd cards since the sd cards are non removable and make it a little more simpler to fix phones in this type of situation....just a thought put out there, I'm just thinking alot of things to make situations like this easier for people who are trying to get the best of their phone.

Yeah with a removable SD card it would have been as easy to just take the sdcard and stick it in the computer.
Just be patient and learn to use adb. In the long run it will make things easier for you. Plus you earn some valuable info and upgrade from noob status.
Good luck!

Just go on bootloader, install CWM recovery (adb is working on it) and send a rom by adb : adb push rom.zip /sdcard
copy the rom in adb folder first and replace "rom.zip" by the name of your rom.
Next go to recovery and flash your rom !
I already have he same problem like you, I was scared too, but don't panic you can install a rom

Ok I just got my phone back and it gets stuck on the boot on the way to the bootloader I can't get into Fastboot or the recovery, any ideas?
Nvm I got it back now it's only the recovery it goes to right away I try to go into bootloader but it gets stuck.on the HTC boot with red text displaying on it. Ok another thing I got into the bootloader and flashed the stock recovery but it got stuck on the boot again....ok another edit, I got the other recovery flashed but it won't boot into recovery it stays on the boot screen with red text.

I get back into the bootloader and flashed the recovery again and then try to go into recovery but it stays stuck On boot up with red text for a little bit then turns off black then turns on again in bootup with red text and stays there, any clues?

Not sure what all you have done by now--so--
First off did you unlock again, as HTC may have locked it--even though you have red letters? (You said you just got it back--assume from HTC)
If unlocked confirmed--
Can you turn phone on and have it just boot into the homescreen
If so, can you connect to pc and have phone with usb debugging on and fastboot off (fastboot is under settings/power). Open command window and cd to your adb/fastboot folder and type adb devices then fastboot devices
if they work put latest cwm recovery image in the adb/fastboot folder and flash it by--
type adb reboot bootloader
then fastboot flash recovery recovery.img of course use exact recovery image name
if adb devices and fastboot devices don't work verify your sdk is set up and drivers are installed--
you may have already done this--sorry, just trying to start at the beginning

Ok so I'm at the point where I'm in recovery and the command prompt is open but idk how to do this...some help would sure be nice this is what I get when. I try to push something
Note: I kinda modified the name to just ROM so I won't have to type so much

what is x86 Mac? i just do a cd/ [enter] then cd android/android-sdk-windows/tools [enter]. that is my path. If on windows and sdk, you need the environmental variable path set to that path i just typed, or whatever your's is. not sure on a mac.
on windows I use forward slashes--not sure it matters
at the prompt you show type adb devices, if it doesn't come back with # followed by numbers you are not set up with adb, reinstall htc drivers and make sure whatever you are fastbooting, is in your tools folder

Dude, it's pretty easy.
1. Unlock your bootlooader. To do this, go into tablet /Settings/Development Options and select USB Debugging.
2. Plug your tab into PC (your Acer USB drivers must be installed first)
3. Open a Command Window in the folder you downloaded all those files. (shift & right mouse click)
4. Check to make sure ADB is working by typing adb devices (you should get some numbers) if not, you have a windows driver issue.
5. Type adb reboot bootloader (tab should reboot to bootloader)
6. Type fastboot OEM unlock (you should get a couple of images. One with an unlock, and one with a lock door) Use Vol - to switch between the 2. Use vol + to select. You have to be quick, as it times out after 5 seconds or so.
When you reboot, it should say bootloader version number (unlocked mode) or something similar.
Go back to the Command window, and run the batch file. "easyroot.bat" by typing in easyroot.bat , then hit the Enter button. The batch file should install all you need, You may need to select things that it prompts you for.
No, there's not a video, as it ain't rocket science. If you can't understand these instructions, perhaps it is better if you do not root your tablet. Doing this, is not for everybody.
Also note, once you unlock your bootloader, you can no longer get OTA from Acer. And, once you unlock it, you cannot lock it back. Not without installing a whole new stock rom.
Also, next time, post your questions in the Q&A forum. Otherwise, nobody will answer them.

Help please. I tried to establish root on the A700 in the second way. But I didn't notice that this way is available for 4.0.4, and on my tablet was established 4.1.1. At me at inclusion gives out here such and more than anything. The debugging mode joins and determined by USB by the computer, but I don't know what to do, prompt please! And still it doesn't load updating with SD the card. And before doing root I unblocked the loader

Dude, it's pretty easy.
1. Unlock your bootlooader. To do this, go into tablet /Settings/Development Options and select USB Debugging.
2. Plug your tab into PC (your Acer USB drivers must be installed first)
3. Open a Command Window in the folder you downloaded all those files. (shift & right mouse click)
4. Check to make sure ADB is working by typing adb devices (you should get some numbers) if not, you have a windows driver issue.
5. Type adb reboot bootloader (tab should reboot to bootloader)

so,i haved I downloaded the usb driver and sdk on my pc and then
First, i install usb driver.sau I plug my A700 to the PC, I did not see what happened. do not know my tab has been updated to the new driver?
*I download the sdk for it in the c drive (because when I extract it, do not see the files installed)
Unlock Your Bootloader: (codes from alx5962)
1. Open a command prompt in windows and navigate to the directory where adb is stored. For the sake of conversation, I’m going to call it “C:\SDK\platform-tools”
2. Plug your tablet into your computer through USB. It should automatically mount because you’ve installed the Acer USB Drivers and didn’t skip that step above. J
3. At the command prompt, enter the following:
I do not know to type the path to the sdk, it's all wrong! I to the sdk folder in c / program files/adt-bundle-windows-x86 .đặt thư mục sdk ở program files có đúng không?

Dude. Why are you messing with the Android SDK? When you mess with the SDK, you also have to install the Java JRE kit as well. Then, you have to modify your PATH and CLASSPATH on windows, or else you'll get the messages you got.
I thought you just wanted to get Root on your tablet. Everything you need is in the package that Vorbeth has for easyRoot. His package contains adb.exe, fastboot.exe, and the windows dll's necessary to do it from the folder you saved them all too. Leave the SDK alone unless you know what you are doing.

You still have to unlock bootloader.,
But run your commands in the package you downloaded. (adb and fastboot). You don't need the SDK for this.

You MUST open a CMD (command) Window first.
In the folder you downloaded all the stuff to, find a nice empty place (DO NOT SELECT A FILE),
Hold your SHIFT key, and then do a RIGHT MOUSE CLICK
Then, select Open Command Window
You should have a black window, with the directory path. If you don't, then you have issues with your PC.
Next, (where you see the little flashing curser) type in adb devices then hit ENTER
(make sure the pc recognizes your tablet. You should see something like, killing dameon server :devices attached with several numbers)
Type adb reboot bootloader then hit ENTER
(tab reboots to bootloader)
use your left VOL- key to navigate between locked and unlocked. Use VOL+ to select
Reboot your tab. Should say unlocked mode on boot.
Then go back to that black Command Window, and type in adb devices and hit ENTER (once again, you should see your device like the first time)
Then type in 701easyroot.bat and hit ENTER
Should see some stuff, mostly warnings. But at this point, it will ask you to;
1. Keep your stock Recovery
2. Install the CWM Recovery
if you select 1, program quits, and you can just reboot your tab, because as soon as you ran the bat file, it rooted it.

HTC desire s hboot downgrade from hboot 2.02.0002 to hboot 0.98.0002

Welcome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm not taking credit for any files or programs here I just simply constructed a full guide on how to downgrade etc. for noobs and also people that is struggeling like I did .
Please be warned that you might damage your phone and also that your waranty voids after you unlocked your bootloader so I don't take any responsibility !!!!! But be assured if you follow my instructions you'll just be fine !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It took me 5 weeeeeeeekssss to find all of these and figure everything out so be greatfull !!!!
I'm going to tell you excacly how i did it !
First things first ....
Copy Cyanogen mod 7 android 2.3.3.zip to your sd card
Open "HTC DESIRE S - All in one toolkit" and run it.Remember you should be in bootloader for this ( volume down + power ) and the navigate with arrow keys to fastboot and select it using power button. Follow all the instructions in the lefthand corner on how to unlock your bootloader
Next you have to flash custom recovery . Look in the right hand corner and select TWRP 2.4.0.0 and let it flash.Sometimes it will say your phone is not detected just exit that command promt and the next command window will flash it.
Now you have to go to your recovery ... While in fastboot select bootloader and then recovery ... A htc logo will appear and about 10 sec from that an TWRP logo .
Go to
After all that is done go to install select zip and find the cyanogen mod 7... .zip you pasted earlier on your sd card and then flash it . wait untill it completes.
Now you have to reboot your phone look for reboot in the TWRP menu and select reboot then bootloader . Once your in bootloader again go to the folder where all my tools are located that I provided for you .
Go to android tools and press shift then right click and select open command window here .
copy and paste the following :
fastboot flash boot boot.img
After its completed select the reboot option using your arrow keys.
Wait until cyanogen mod 7 fully boots up
Now go to settings > applications > developer options and enable usb debugging
After that go to android tools folder again and open the command window again paste the following :
adb push C:\downsaga\misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell
su
cd /data/local/tmp
./misc_version -s 1.27.405.6
exit
exit
exit
adb reboot-bootloader
After that the phone will be in bootloader again already in fastboot and then just type :
Fastboot oem lock
After that the phone will be in bootloader again already in fastboot
Now open the ruu I have provided for you and run it until it completes and whalah !!! You have hboot 0.98.0002
Now if you want to root it use the superoneclick app I provided and after that s-off also your bootloader with revolutionary i provided just follow the clear instructions(Your phone must be turned on and not in bootloader ! also remember to turn on usb debugging again !!!! )
after all of thos when you reboot into bootloader things will look like :

I just wanted to post similar one but You did it for me. Anyway i edited it cause it was a mess Still I wonder will this work without GoldCard on any phone...
This is a simple guide for newcomers to Android. Please be warned that you might damage your phone and also that your waranty voids after you unlock your bootloader and the author doesn't take any responsibility for that. Still things shouldn't go wrong.
Link for the necessary files.
1. Copy Cyanogen mod 7 android 2.3.3.zip to your SD card.
2. Go here and click THANKS button for hasoon2000. This is his tool and he takes all credit for his hard work.
3. Now open "HTC DESIRE S - All in one toolkit" and double click on Desire S.exe.
4. Follow all the instructions in the left hand corner on how to unlock your bootloader
5. Now we are going to flash recovery. Look in the right hand corner, select TWRP 2.4.0.0 and click Flash Recovery button and follow the instructions.
6. It's time to go to the recovery. While in fastboot select bootloader and then recovery. A htc logo will appear and then TWRP should start.
7. When you're in the recovery MAKE BACKUP. Then go to Wipe section. Now wipe these four: Cache, Dalvik Cache, Factory Reset, System. After that go back, click Install and select Cyanogenmod 7.zip you placed on your SD card. Slide to flash and wait.
8. After flash is complete go back to TWRP main menu and select Reboot and then Bootloader.
9. When you're in bootloader go to the folder where all my tools are located.
Go to android tools and press shift then right click and select open command window here.
10. In the Command Window copy and paste the following :
fastboot flash boot boot.img
11. After it's completed select the reboot option using your arrow keys.
Wait until cyanogenmod 7 boots up. This is first boot so it may take a while. Don't get nervous.
12. When Cyanogenmod 7 will start go to Settings > Applications > Developer options. Enable USB Debugging
13. After that go to android tools folder again and open the command window and paste the following :
adb push C:\downsaga\misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell
su
cd /data/local/tmp
./misc_version -s 1.27.405.6
exit
exit
exit
adb reboot-bootloader
14. When your phone will be in bootloader in fastboot USB mode type:
Fastboot oem lock
15. After that the phone will give you Warning. It's fine. Stay in bootloader in fastboot USB.
16. Open the RUU I have provided and run it until it completes flashing.
17. You have hboot 0.98.0002 now. Use the superoneclick app I provided.
18. After that run revolutionary tool and follow the instructions. After it's complete reboot into bootloader. Things should look like this:

Yes it's too long. Try connecting your device to PC and in command line (adb) type: adb reboot recovery.
If this doesn't work try Three button reset. Push power, volume up and down simultaneously. If this doesn't work too follow these steps
1. Connect phone to USB
2. Remove battery
3. Phone will still be running
4. Shutdown PC to cut the USB power
Now boot into recovery (hold vol down and click power). I'm sorry this is partially my fault. I just switched my brain off during writing this assuming this was right and n00b proof :silly:. It isn't. There is one more step before flashing Cyanogenmod that you may not be familiar with. When you manage to get into recovery go to Wipe section. Now wipe these four: Cache, Dalvik Cache, Factory Reset, System. After that flash (install) cyanogenmod again. This time it will boot. I'm updating guide right now and I'm sorry for your stress and inconvenience. If it works please report back.

Thanks for the anwser, although I managed to solve this shortly after posting last nigth. Basicly I just removed the battery break the loop, wiped data and cache and reflashed.
Yes, I will have to ID myself as somewhat of a noob on the andoid-front and want to point out some parts of the guide that aint 100% noob-proof. A couple of times I was actually forced to think for myself. That's outrageous!
1. Place the folder "Desire_S_All-In-One_Kit_v2.0" at your C:/ root and run the .exe from there. Won't work baked into some other directory I believe.
2. Replace "adb push C:\downsaga\misc_version /data/local/tmp" with "adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp". Otherwise you will be looking in the wrong dir the way this rest of this guide is set up.
3. At step 11. If stuck on loop, follw these steps:
A. boot into recovery
B. wipe data/factory reset
C. wipe cache
D. go into partitions menu, and format boot and format system. (I skiped this part this time)
E. install rom zip from sdcard
F. reboot
4. At the end of step 13 there seem to be one "exit" to many. (this is just a trivial thing ofc)
5. Step 17: I had to run this one several times before it got propper rooted. What seem to make the difference was actually the in order i did things during the su test after the "successful" root. Go to your phone app-list >>superuser>>Preferences>>Automatic responce>>Allow befor you click away the warning on your computer.
I also ran all programs as admin, didnt test if it would work without, but it's generally a good idea with these things.
Remember, when you write for noobs you have to include the obvious
It's the first time i've touched this root-stuff so take this for what it is. It solved it for me, but may not always be the correct fix.
I've been wanting to root without using HTCdev, but resigned to this after beeing thrown around to some 10-15 differnet sites and guides, with missing software etc..
Now to figure out what ROM to use as this one had Sense 2.1, and why TiBu crashes when I attempt to remove bloatware. But that will have to be another story...
Thanks for the guide guys, and for providing all the software needed in one package, that's probably the most useful part for a newcomer =)

RUU
Hey guys,

Wrong can mean two things:
1. Did you misc_version from a root/temproot environment? If you didn't have the right privileges, you can't do this step.
2. Your phone is Branded (to your carrier), you need to either choose a RUU that matches your carrier (see "+files" then RUU in my sig) or create a goldcard, which should let your phone ignore the carrier/region check.

Hello all, everything works fine for me until this step: first, I was surprised to see the program is named "misctool" and not "misc_version" as specified in the example. Also, the option to use seems to be "w" and not "-s". Anyway, when I run "./misctool w 1.27.405.6" as root, I get "Error opening misc partition... must be run as root" twice... And I know I am running it as root since when I run "whoami" it returns "root"...
What am I doing wrong here..?
EDIT:
I was able to make it work using the commands using "adb shell" from the cmd prompt...
But now I am running into another problem, when I try to install the RUU I get :ERROR [131]: CUSTOMER ID ERROR
Apparently this occurs when you have the wrong RUU. How do I get the correct RUU for my device ?
Thanks in advance

how to get token ID?
Apperantly I got stuck on the 3rd step. How do I get token ID? What is the command and on which dir do I type it?

ghhhaaaa i can get past step 17. I realy need some help. i think comodo tought this files was a treath an placed them in quarantine
and i can get it to un quarantine them.. :crying: ( aahhh i needed to unlock bootloader again "crap.. now i need to figure out how i did that")

Apperantly I got stuck on the 3rd step. How do I get token ID? What is the command and on which dir do I type it?

As far as i remember... U get token ID when u unlock your bootloader via HTCDev.. Go to HTCDev http://http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/ select all other supported model and follow the steps a mentioned. u need to have a login account to do that.

The error would usually appear if USB debugging isn't ticked or you don't have the right drivers.

[ROOT][GUIDE] How to install TWRP and root Wiko Jerry (Magisk)

Hi guys,
On this post I will share with you a method to root Wiko Jerry.
You will get a TWRP recovery installed too.
Sorry if my english is a bit bad
Sorry if the print screens if you find are in Portuguese, as it would be boring to change my Windows language.
DISCLAIMER:
I AM NOT responsible for bricked devices and lost warranties.
If you don't feel safe modifying your device DO NOT do anything.
Backup the data you have on your phone. Accidents can happen.
That said, let's go to the fun!
What you need:
Your Wiko Jerry
This TWRP 3.1.1 recovery: https://mega.nz/#!rZM2XIhY!tuneB9pGNQzhbGWz1kRY-mzeCGtRjUAP2QqX791r4Go
ADB / Fastboot on your computer. I will explain how to set it up on your PC later.
Magisk flashable ZIP. Magisk thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
Connect your phone to your PC with your USB cable.
1- Preparing your PC:
If you already have ADB on your PC, you can skip this part.
After downloaded the files you need, let's get your computer ready.
You will need fastboot and ADB for this method, so download from here:
Installing ADB on Windows:
Open this link and click on SDK Platform-tools for Windows.
After downloaded, extract the ZIP anywhere you want.
You should now have a folder like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Keep the folder open (or just minimize it) and go ahead to the next step.
Installing ADB on Linux:
Run one of this commands on your terminal.
-Ubuntu/Debian based Linuxes (APT):
Code:
sudo apt install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot
-Fedora (YUM):
Code:
sudo yum install android-tools
Test with:
Code:
sudo adb version
You should get something like this:
Code:
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.40
Version 4986621
2- Getting your phone ready:
To get your phone ready you need to enable ADB on Settings.
Open Settings>About phone and tap "Buid number" 7 times.
Go back one time and you sholud get a "Developer options" menu on Settings.
Open the "Developer options" and enable "USB debugging" option.
Now you have ADB enabled on your device.
3- Installing TWRP on your phone
Do you remember the TWRP file you downloaded before? Now you will need it.
-Copy the TWRP_3.1_JERRY.img file to your platform-tools folder.
-Rename the file to recovery.img.
-Open a command prompt.
-On command prompt do this to open your platform-tools folder on it:
Code:
cd INSERT PATH TO YOUR platform-tools FOLDER
Now, unlock your phone and run this command:
Code:
adb devices
It should appear something like this on your PC:
Code:
List of devices attached
<your-device-id> offline
And this on your phone:
On that window, check the box and tap OK. This will allow your phone to communicate with ADB running on your PC.
Check if everything is ok doing the "adb devices" command again. If it is ok, this will show up:
Code:
List of devices attached
<your-device-id> device
Now, on your command line run the command:
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
Your phone will reboot in fastboot mode. It should look like this:
Run this on your command line:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
If you get <waiting-for-device> on command prompt, check this:
-Open Device Manager (Win key+X, click on Device Manager)
-Find a device called "fastboot Gadget" or similar name with a exclamation mark.
-Right click it and click on "Update drivers..."
-Click on second option on the setup (search manually)
-Click on the second option again.
-On the list, look for Universal Serial Bus Devices and double click it
-Inside the Manufacturer list select WinUsb Device
-On the right list select ADB Device and double click it
-Click on yes
-After installed, close and its fixed!
​When the command finishes, you should get this:
Code:
Sending 'recovery' (12866 KB) OKAY [ 0.550s]
Writing 'recovery' OKAY [ 0.762s]
Finished. Total time: 1.317s
Congratulations! Now you have TWRP on your phone!
4- Booting into TWRP and root the phone with Magisk
Now you need to turn off your phone. You can just take the battery out and put it again.
This phone has a weird way to boot into the recovery. You need to press the power button and a second later, the VOL+ button.
The Wiko logo will appear and the phone MUST NOT VIBRATE. If it vibrates, the normal Android will start.
Do this procedure anytime you want to go into TWRP.
Connect your USB cable.
Tap "Keep Read Only"
In your PC, go to This PC and open the JERRY device.
Copy the previously downloaded Magisk ZIP file into the Internal Storage.
In TWRP, tap Install
Search for the Magisk ZIP in the file explorer.
Swipe to confirm the flash
Tap Home button
Tap Reboot
Tap System
Android should boot normally
Warning: It could take a few seconds to Magisk Manager to appear on apps list.
Congratulations! You have done it! You have TWRP and Magisk!

hey you'll need to unlock your bootloader first
FIRST BACKUP EVERYTHING USEFUL FROM YOUR PHONE, THI WILL FACTORY RESET YOUR DEVICE
after getting adb working (debug on and all that stuff)
enter in your cmd prompt
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
then wait till your phone is in fastboot mode
now you'll type in cmd
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
read carefully what appears in your phone screen and accapt it (at your own risk, it will probably void your warranty)
now type in cmd
Code:
fastboot reboot
done

TWRP file is not working

Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I get "Unlock Failed"

When I try to enter recovery mode, it says: no command

is this recovery image meant for the SPD or the MTK variant?
Tried this on an SPD Jerry & it didn't work
Any other help?
