amazing stuff man
all commands worked beautifully
always remember guide doesnt always say to go back to fastboot like after locking or unlocking bootloader but its obvious you may need to do a bettery pull. these steps are so simple and by copy and paste commands its even simpler :laugh:

thank you so much

VICTORY!!

THank you!

Although I messed up at this part, I didn't know this is when you wre supposed to install the SDcard into the phone. The SDcard was still in my computer:
• adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc2/mmc2:*/cid

Typo at the end of section4...
The command should be:

fastboot boot recovery1.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

Actually,it should prolly be:

Fastboot flash recovery recovery1.img

Since the following directions say to enter recovery from hboot.

Fastboot boot will launch the image,not permanently install it in the recovery partition.

one other thing you need to watch for,is that including "adb shell" in the command,that the rest is actually getting su access. some times you need to enter adb shell su blah blah blah

Need to see the rest of your session. Could be any of the following...
-downgrade failed,not on exploitable radio
-not on correct recovery
-need to reboot prior to entering the recovery
-maybe others

There are alot of small errors that can cause failure. I've prolly run thru it a dozen times

    Also before anyone continues make sure you run cat /proc/kmsg | grep 'mmc0:0001' If you have a M4G2DE EMMC stop do no use clockworkmod recovery or even try to root as you will fry your EMMC.

    If you have SEM04G EMMC then your safe to continue.

    If your using the PD98IMG.zip from the retired AAHK just remember its no longer support.

    Personally i would use the firmware.zip file from the tutorial which is included in the http://tau.shadowchild.nl/files/ace-tools.zip its safer that way just remember to backup your boot.img as its important if you want to boot back into sense 3.0.

    Guide worked for me!!!!!

    Hi all, reporting back my experience with this guide...

    Prior to using this guide, I was already HTCDEV unlocked, rooted and custom rom (SVHD V1.3.0)

    I basically followed this guide with a few little needed changes.

    1st I backed up my rom using 4ext recovery.

    1. same
    2. same
    3. same

    4. There was no file named "recovery1.img" in ace-tools, so I just flashed the "recovery.img" (If you already have custom recovery flashed, I don't think you need to do this step but I did it anyway).

    5. Because I was already on custom rom with different kernel (boot.img) than stock (rooted) rom, before I reboot into recovery, I extracted boot.img from stock rooted zip downloaded from the link and flashed it from fastboot (if you don't do this your rom may not boot).

    5a. reboot into recovery and flashed rom

    6. there was a typo in the line
    "• adb shell /data/local/tmp/goldcard -c <string of numbers and letters should go here> -o /data/local /tmp/goldcard.img"
    there is an extra space between local & /tmp/ at the end of line, the command line should read
    • adb shell /data/local/tmp/goldcard -c <string of numbers and letters should go here> -o /data/local/tmp/goldcard.img"

    7. If this is all fine boot into bootloader again.
    From bootloader go to fastboot.
    Go back to the cmd window on your PC from earlier, type in:
    • Fastboot oem lock<------ phone rebooted itself after this command so needed to go back to bootloader fastboot (I did a quick battery pull)
    Then type:
    • fastboot oem rebootRUU

    everything else was good....

    My Hboot screen is the same as OP screen shot.

    I reflashed the 4ext recovery I previously had, then did a system restore of my backup and booted into SVHD with out a hitch.

    I pretty sure that's all, I hope this helps.

    • fastboot flash boot boot.img
    next:
    • fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
    8. boot to recovery again then:
    • adb push gfree /tmp/
    • adb shell chmod 775 /tmp/gfree
    • adb shell /tmp/gfree -f
    reboot to bootloader and you should see it says S-OFF at the top of the screen, if It does congrats your done.

    Also before anyone continues make sure you run cat /proc/kmsg | grep 'mmc0:0001' If you have a M4G2DE EMMC stop do no use clockworkmod recovery or even try to root as you will fry your EMMC.

    If you have SEM04G EMMC then your safe to continue.

    If your using the PD98IMG.zip from the retired AAHK just remember its no longer support.

    Personally i would use the firmware.zip file from the tutorial which is included in the http://tau.shadowchild.nl/files/ace-tools.zip its safer that way just remember to backup your boot.img as its important if you want to boot back into sense 3.0.

    Trust me this tutorial works.

    it does not, at least for me. i don't know exactly if i'm simlocked, but i hang on this step:

    c:\ace-tools>adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22 of=/data/local/tmp/boot.img
    /dev/block/mmcblk0p22: cannot open for read: Permission denied

    but i know that my hd is rooted, and i was able to install the pre-rooted rom.

    i come from stock hboot, and stock 3.12. firmware.


    EDIT: first try, then post. it helped when i type in:

    adb shell
    su

    and afterwards

    dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22 of=/data/local/tmp/boot.img

    EDIT2: had to do it always when it said "permission denied"

    but at the last operation, i get this error:
    /tmp/gfree -f
    --secu_flag off set
    --cid set. CID will be changed to: 11111111

    EDIT3: i gave up this method and tried AAHK2 instead. (got it from a german forum, google aahk2 v 1.75) my mistake was that i had to relock the bootloader to downgrade from 3.12 to 2.x in order to get s-off.... :) now i'm finally on 2.5

    EDIT4: the only difference to the screenshots in post #1 is that i'm on hboot v 0.85.2425... but s-off, yay

    Hi all, reporting back my experience with this guide...

    Prior to using this guide, I was already HTCDEV unlocked, rooted and custom rom (SVHD V1.3.0)

    I basically followed this guide with a few little needed changes.

    1st I backed up my rom using 4ext recovery.

    1. same
    2. same
    3. same

    4. There was no file named "recovery1.img" in ace-tools, so I just flashed the "recovery.img" (If you already have custom recovery flashed, I don't think you need to do this step but I did it anyway).

    5. Because I was already on custom rom with different kernel (boot.img) than stock (rooted) rom, before I reboot into recovery, I extracted boot.img from stock rooted zip downloaded from the link and flashed it from fastboot (if you don't do this your rom may not boot).

    5a. reboot into recovery and flashed rom

    6. there was a typo in the line
    "•adb shell /data/local/tmp/goldcard -c <string of numbers and letters should go here> -o /data/local /tmp/goldcard.img"
    there is an extra space between local & /tmp/ at the end of line, the command line should read
    •adb shell /data/local/tmp/goldcard -c <string of numbers and letters should go here> -o /data/local/tmp/goldcard.img"

    7.If this is all fine boot into bootloader again.
    From bootloader go to fastboot.
    Go back to the cmd window on your PC from earlier, type in:
    •Fastboot oem lock<------ phone rebooted itself after this command so needed to go back to bootloader fastboot (I did a quick battery pull)
    Then type:
    •fastboot oem rebootRUU

    everything else was good....

    My Hboot screen is the same as OP screen shot.

    I reflashed the 4ext recovery I previously had, then did a system restore of my backup and booted into SVHD with out a hitch.

    I pretty sure that's all, I hope this helps.
