Pissed Off Desire HD

[dante.24]

Hi everybody, I was thinking whether to open new "story" or not and I thought I can do it by myself..but..I did everything I could, I have read hundreds of forums..some things totally confused me and some simply I don't understand..so however I decided to open new thread because I really need professional help here.

Here is the story,
I've bought used HTC DHD before two days with an custom rom android 4.2.2 but WI-FI not worked and also camera not worked very well (when I take a shot phone turns off). i have tried few roms in hope that will fix the problem (PACman v23, CM10.1 and JT 4.2.2 - and still on JT) but nothing. In bootloader says Unlocked but security is damn ON. So, I worked two whole fckin day without success. I have tried many tools, guides etc but it simply won't make S-OFF. Also I've tried to flash to few stock RUU roms to do a downgrade but every time when try I'm getting some errors (140, 150, 170 or even unknown error xD). I really don't know what to do anymore and because I'm pissed off I came here. I love this phone and I won't sell it third day already. I gave last money for this smartphone..I won't money back..I won't new phone..I just want this to be working device. On pic you can see what I already tried..

So please, be patient and take your time to solve this **** together.

Come on guys, I know this can be fixed. I need just little of your time. and thank you very much in advance.

NO idea why you so desperately want S-OFF in the first place as you can flash custom ROMS without it and there is no other way you can fix wifi on software level (so most probably it's a hardware problem), but anyone have access to search in the upper right corner if you wish.

As for the phone shutting down when taking photos, it's a common problem and is thought to be related to aging battery, but you have a great chance of fixing(compensating) it by increasing CPU voltage a couple of notches. Install CPU Master and increase the mV of corresponding maximum frequency used, it should be 1Ghz to look at if not overclocked, try to increse it by 50mV

You are unlocked and still s-on so, as with every one who has issues like yours, you need to flash the boot.IMG via fastboot from the ROM you want to install, after you've installed the rom.

I suggest switching to SVHD by mygamers, every thing works, its super smooth and is great on battery too.

P.s. unless you REALLY really need the advanced functions of s-off, I wouldn't worry to much about it.

"Some" advantages to unlocked bootloader and s-off are:

Flash new Roms direct with out having to flash boot.img

Restore nandroids that are different from current installed rom easier

Flash radios

Change splash screen (you may only see it when you turn on phone, but it can be awesome thing to show off a bit)

First, why do you need S-Off? You can flash ROMs without S-Off, and S-Off won't fix your WiFi problems. It's not clear whether you're successfully flashing ROMs right now, but you can. You do need to flash the ROM zip's boot.img from fastboot each time after you flash s ROM from recovery.

Second, please bump a thread only once every 24 hours per the forum rules.

It's pretty damn clear that he have tried other ROMS.

i have tried few roms in hope that will fix the problem (PACman v23, CM10.1 and JT 4.2.2 - and still on JT)

 

[bananagranola]

It's pretty damn clear that he have tried other ROMS.

But he finishes that line with "but nothing." Given the number of "flash the boot.img" posts I've had to write lately, I was wondering if that meant he managed to get them to boot or not.

 

[dante.24]

Sorry guys that I did't mentioned before but mainly what I want to do is to bring back stock rom but I can't..someone said that I need S-OFF for that, I heard that when you flash stock rom can fix wi-fi and camera and then if you want can install new custom rom after. About damaged hardware, everything is possible. I was in service shop and guy there said that hardware is modem in essence that controling wi-fi, GSM, bluetooth and GPS. Maybe I understood him wrong. But my BL and GSM working just fine. I have to try new step-by-step tutorial, I'll be back soon.

You don't need to get S-Off. Just relock your bootloader with fastboot and run the RUU executable from your computer while the phone's connected to it.

OK, let's clear this. Every rom I've tried worked but wi-fi not again, camera is little stable in JT 4.2.2. Only rom that not worked was JT 4.3 beta 3. Installed very well but when it boots it stays on splash screen forever.

OK, I'll try it..

 

[dante.24]

Locked bootloader as you said, started exe from PC and I got error 131 "CUSTOMER ID ERROR"..what's that??

 

[bananagranola]

You need to find a RUU compatible with your phone's region.

How can I know that man, when I try to flash RUU it says "would you like to update from 3.13.000 to 3.13.405.12"..something like that..Ive already tried two stock roms.

Edit: I've tried WWE and ARA RUUs, do I need to try US and UK versions too??

You could make a goldcard to run any RUU, or you could try the US or UK RUUs.

Excuse me, but its "pretty damn clear" that only jellybean roms have been tried!

Why are you getting so agro (agrovated for non Aussie readers)) at the mention of trying to use something other than jellybean?

Only trying to help someone out, mate, have you got issues or you got some reason for hating!

umm if your stuck on splash screen you haven't flashed the kernel. Extract the zip, then place the boot.img into your adb folder. Reboot your phone into hboot then fastboot. Now go to your adb folder type in fastboot flash boot boot.img from cmd.

If that doesn't work to achieve s-off on newer versions of android is 1) Make a goldcard 2) Downgrade with a ruu 3) Get root exploit 4) Get s-off exploit (This was back in 2010 so I don't know if the procedure changed but I s-offed with this. It's probably easier since its 2013:silly

For future reference, Unlocked bootloader means the boot.img is restricted from recovery YOU need to flash kernels via fastboot with Unlocked Bootloader, S-OFF means nothing is restricted apart from splash image, ENG-Soff is engineering mode is same as s-off but with a Eng tag and splash screen is changeable.

First of all there was no any hate nor any of this "agro" of yours lol.
Secondly, none of the mentioned JB ROMS have wifi issues, so there is really no point in wasting time and trying every available ROM.

Cheers and I hope you now got it, we all learn from our mistakes, don't beat yourself up too much. :laugh:

 

[dante.24]

Thanks dude, I'll try it. I have GC tool but problem is this site revskills are down and can't get .img file. Any alternative for this?

I must say, your a total gentleman to clear that up, it is my mistake to believe we are not playing nice and trying to help each other out here, without deliberately flaming or being just simply malice towards fellow xda members...

Don't worry I won't beat myself up to the point I need hospital admission even though that is where I am right now.

Cheers my xda friend I got it now! :thumbup:
