Help with Rooting ACE 0.85

I would have posted this in another forum but don't have the appropriate permissions yet.

I followed all the steps at this forum link

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1178912

and received the following error.

sending 'zip' (295144 KB)... OKAY
writing 'zip'... INFOsignature checking...
FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)

1. I checked the md5sum and it says its correct (image attached)
2. But after performing all other instructions the change from gingerbread to froyo didn't happen (image attached)


I have performed this downgrade and rooting on other Desire HD's but those had 0.92 hboot. This device and another I am going to do this on has 0.85 hboot (image attached). Not sure what to do next, after searching I couldn't seem to find a solution to my problem

ok, i will try

OK, now it just boots to a black screen.

1. I can access hboot
2. It is recognized in adb server
3. still has s-on
4. no clockwork recovery

I have tried going through the process again but now when it reboots the phone AAHK says that device is offline and tries about 10 times before ending the session.

HELP!!!!!!!!

still no fix. same issues as stated before. the kit says that it completed successfully. but still no s-off, no clockwork recovery, and still black screen boot.


please take a look at the attachments and see if anything you can tell me what is wrong
