I seem to be having a problem flashing the stock + rooted rom.

I get the error message..
e:cant open sdcard/dhd_wwe_3.12.405.1............zip (bad) installation aborted.

I have also tried a stock unrooted copy which didnt work either. I am pretty sure i use to be able to flash it(many months ago).
I believe i can still flash sum custom roms (just formated the newest leedroid rom) but stock is being a ***** to install.

I want to go back to stock as I feel my gps was more accurate under stock

Any ideas?

Im using a unbranded UK desire HD with AHK Clockwork Recovery v4.0.1.4. i did wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and even wipe Dalvik

Any questions just ask

You don't have to flash stock rom from recovery like custom roms or nandroid backups.

Run stock RUU.exe or flash the rom from bootloader if in PG58IMG format if you want to go back to complete stock rom.

You can download RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_WWE_3.12.405.1_R_Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_233505_signed form HERE

see above. Run the RUU exe from pc while phone is plugged with usb cable.

I uploaded it for you. That is the latest stock GB RUU.

Hope it helps :)

Hit thanks button if it did ;)

Hey mate, maybe u can help me out a little. I need to flash back to stock, vodafone au branded for warrenty purposes. if I used above would I still be rooted and s-off, and can all the Vodafone bloat be flashed afterwards. just weighing if the above link is any easy option then flashing rom, then radio, reverse s off, root, etc etc etc.....etc.?

The link I gave is for stock unbranded WWE (world wide english) RUU. No idea where you can find Vodafone AU, sorry.

Running the RUU.exe will unroot your device but s-off remains. Also it deletes all apps and data.

Conclusion: it will be as out of the box but S-Off.

--I noticed your using advanced ace hack kit. Question- are you renaming the Rom file to "update.zip," and then selecting "install update from zip"???
If so, there s your problem.

Just select "install from zip" instead. Shouldn't matter if the file has been renamed.
Hopefully this is a quick fix for you. Let us know, because if you can get to bootloader and recovery, there is a fix.

Don't be shy to use the thanks button.

Please answer these questions in order to summarize the situation:

1) are you S-ON or S-OFF?

2) What your bootloader says and what version is is (there is a **locked** on top?)

3) have you tried the hack kit or not?

4) do you have stock recovery or CWM/4EXT?

5) is your phone branded Vodafone or is just your carrier which is Vodafone?

6) what was your original RUU and what RUU did you find. RUU.exe should be run from a computer not flashed by recovery.

Hi, are u asking me? If so here u go.

1- S-OFF. Don't think I'm eng s-off.
2- boot loader reads as follows:
Ace PVT Ship S-off RL
Hboot 0.85.0024
Microphone 0438
Radio 26.10.04.03_m
eMMC-boot

3- advance ace hack kit is how I rooted my device...?
4- clockwork mod recovery touch 5.8
5- Vodafone branded phone originally, with all the crap
6-original ruu unknown? But the rom I can't install is titled:
Ace_Vodafone_AU_1.32.178.5_Radio_12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M_BACKUP
Its a zip file which I've tried to install from recovery as a zip(error message 'install aborted')and also restore after extracting to cwm/backup (error message md5 mismatch)

I'm completely lost.

Install 4ext recovery, if I'm not mistaken it has an option to ignore md5 mismatches.

Edit - just checked and it does, its in the recovery settings

Alright, well I installed 4ext, disabled md5 check. All that happened when it restored (finished in only 3secs)was rebooted with a freshly wiped copy of the rom I've been using-cookies & cream ics.
It seems like the file is empty, though I've explored its content and all seems intact. Its about the 5th download of the rom too, so unlikely a bad dl. Someone installed it successfully by deleting nandroid. md5, then using the md5 sum recreate it as md5sum*img > nandroid.md5... Don't know how or what this means

I believe they are talking about this. In the app go to recovery >manage backups. Choose the file then click correct md5 sum

-Alright well I got the md5 sorted, and installed the rom. Now I have a blackscreen... It appears nothing has changed. the green htc letters slowly fade to white lines then to black, thats about it. Still got 4ext so I can restore, but this is a pain in the rectum.

I'm restoring it again and it reads its restoring: boot system data cache. In the process, .android_secure not found...Should be alright?

I thought about that. You won't be able to fully be on your stock firmware but it might be close enough for warranty purposes.

So here is my thinking. Flash the 1.32.405 ruu. Next flash your stock radio that came with your carrier via a pd98. Then root with visionary and use jkoljos easy radio tool to flash back your cid and get back son. Finally unroot with visionary and remove any traces of root like super user. I think that's as close as well be able to get if the nandroid doesn't work

Thanks for ur help mate ... haven't had a chance to try re install of this yet. If it isn't one thing its another, I did Eng s off and now my battery is dieing by like, 1-2% every minute, don't think its associated with Eng s off, but the battery coincidentally nearing its end. Then my charger died.
Alright so ill give it a go and post the outcome. Cheers dude. I think I have the vodafone splash screen downloaded so if so that's a plus
