[Q] HTC Desire HD AAHK/ROOT Question

Firstly let me apologise for my complete stupidness….
I have read a lot of the posts on this forum and watched some videos but I’ve still managed to break the phone. (No sound or anything… i.e. volume, calls)
So in my great intelligence this is what I’ve done…
Used the HTCDev bootloader to unlock the bootloader, I know not the best start. I have followed the steps from the “efffen-manual” in AAHK and relocked it but I’m still doing something wrong.
After relocking the bootloader I ran AAHK and did the downgrade and suggested. When it finished the phone didn’t reboot as suggested into the hboot instead went to the white HTC screen and back on. I then powered off the phone reseated the battery and booted into the hboot where it automatically found the downloaded PD98IMG/PD98IMG-GB2.zip file on the SD card and started to check it. When it finished checking the file I got an error message of “Main version is older! Update failed!”
If I can get the phone back to before I did anything I’ll try the AAHK again and hopefully get it working but any other advice will be greatly appreciated.
Below are the phones details before I did anything and also the output from AAHK downgrade
Thanks

Main version Is order Is usually due to anti virus eating zergrush from the hack kit. Check that in the tools>bin folder the zergrush file Is in.
If it Is not, then re download the hack kit And Make sure that all protection softwares are disabled or uninstalled.

Thanks

Ive used Sashank's [NOOB] "Flashing a custom ROM & getting it to boot IF bootloader is htcdev unlocked" from Ace Think Tank [Noob friendly & at times off topic].

Help Please!!! Installing OTA Update on rooted HTC ONE M8
I recently rooted my One M8 (with no issues) using Hasoon 2000's excellent tool.
Yesterday my phone flashed up the OTA for KitKat 4.4.4 and I downloaded, but when I tried to install it took me to TWRP recovery where I selected the OTA zip file ran it but it didn't update. When I booted back into android the update flashed up again asking if I wanted to install. Tried again but no luck
Can anyone tell me what I need to do in order to install the update please?
Many thanks

HTC One M8 Toolkit
I'm about to hit my One M8 with a sledgehammer. I've been trying to root it with the toolkit but when I hit Get Token ID it says that the device can't be found. I've read through the whole thread and have tried everything suggested that isn't too advanced. I've tried it with two different computers and the same thing happens: nothing. I've installed HTC Sync Manager on both PCs and the software doesn't detect the phone in neither. Windows does detect it.
Any pointers before I murder my phone?

An hour ago I flashed recovery without checking comparability . Than my phone stucked in boot loop . I flashed twrp with this tool and restored last workin back up ) and tata .

I used this guide. After finding out my model is not compatible with firewater to S-OFF and not wanting to pay for sunshine, I had to use OTAs to update the firmware. You don't need to delete root access but you need to flash stock recovery back to use the OTA update. Its removes root access anyway but SuperSU is still installed.
I do think you need to unlock the bootloader to gain root through custom recovery as you said.

i have a doubt since you have closed the links for htc one m7 root toolkit does this one m8 toolkit work on m7 too??

rooting problem
hey i am using the htc one m8 eye i have unlocked my bootloader, the software status on the bootloader mode reads
device software: modified
*unlocked*
but shows s-on
after flashing the twrp recovery many times my device still doesnt seem to open up twrp and whenever i click recovery it boots back to the fastboot page in the bootloader, i am really stuck
can someone please guide how to go about this now? as i have no clue what to do next.
thank you.

Hi all, I just want to unroot my Phone. I rooted using this tool. How can I unroot? Just unroot. No flashing new system.
Thanks!

Rooting HTC One (M8) Question
So I'm trying to root my HTC One (M8), I've downloaded Hasoon2000's toolkit. I'm to the point where I am trying Boot Into Bootloader, but every time I run that, it says device not found. I have debugging on and everything. Any help is appreciated...

I need help unlocking the bootloader!
So I tried following the directions on htcdev.com but i came to the part where i type "fastboot oem get_identifier_token" and type it into adb and it just sits there at "<waiting for device>". I have done everything correctly to the best of my knowledge. Now i did a little troubleshooting and found out that my one m8 is recognized by adb when the phone is booted up and in the OS but when I go to the bootloader by typing "adb reboot bootloader" and it goes to bootloader and i type the command to get the token is says waiting for device again so then I typed adb devices and ithe phone is not recognized. I have no idea why this is happening so I'm relying on this Q&A thread for help. Tried googling and so far I've gotten "switch USB ports". I've switched it and it hasn't worked. I've also tried using the tool and i get the same result and i followed all the directions from the toolkit from step 1 to 5. Thanks in advance for any help.

Will this tool work with 4.4.4?
I have the latest version of Android on my HTC one M8. I was wondering if this tool is still effective for my phone?

Will OTA still work with root?
I want to root my ATT M8 and I know an OTA is coming early Janruary. I I do t want to have to redo the root and I want to make sure I still get the OTA. So should I just wait.

im trying to get my main version number but when i hit getvar all i get everything but my main version

will this work on HTC One M8 Eye ?

will the perm root will still work with the new AT&T 4.4.4 KitKat OS?
will the perm root will still work with the new AT&T 4.4.4 KitKat OS?

There isn't really a way to check if the bootloader is locked or unlocked. The user must know this info about their phone before they continue.

It looks like the toolkit may have lost contact with the device while pushing. You can do it manually by going to the Commands tab in the toolkit, then clicking on the "Push File" button. Then, find the Data folder created by the toolkit, go to the Installers folder, and click on SuperSU.zip. When it finishes pushing, go to the left side of the toolkit under the Reboot box and hit Recovery. Finally, when you're in recovery, hit Install in the top left, scroll until you find SuperSU.zip, and flash it. You should be rooted after that.:good:

Thank you

Windroid HTC Desire D820US support (mediatek MT6752 SOC)
Hello
In the attached spreadsheet we can find the dual sim D820U (snapdragon 615 soc) version which is supported.
But it seems the D820US version (with mediatek mt65752) is not supported (well i could not find it so I believe it is not supported).
Previously in the thread, somedbody asks if the mediatek version was supported and you replied that the dual sim version is supported.
So careful here because there are 2 dual sim version one with Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 (d820u mostly for EU and US) and one with Mediatek Mt6752 (d820us mostly for India and China and with some EU frequencies).
So please can you confirm the support for d820us dual sim with Mediatek Mt6752 SOC ?
If yes please could you update the spreadsheet as this is a bit confusing.
Thanks.
regards
Arnaud

This tool goes through all of the options properly and also shows device unlock sucessful...but when i go to the bootloader on device it shows locked

HTC desire 601
Hi, I am having problems with the supersu file, i tried doing it through the command tab and it still doesn't show up n the install tab in twrp recovery, how do i fix this? ive tried over a dozen times and placed it in different places to see if that was the problem and have tried other zip files as well for it, but nothing is working. would really love for this to not be the one phone i cannot root, it unlocked with the toolkit, so i know everything else worked fine. so please please please help.

What software version are you running?
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using XDA Free mobile app

version im using
Im using this version for the verizon m7
1.10.605.2.
rumrunner_m7wlv_1.10.605.2.zip*- 20.1 MB

Do you meet all the requirements below?
HTC drivers installed and working – fastboot AND adb drivers
HTC sync removed (not closed – REMOVED)
All other phone software removed or disabled (Samsung Kies, PDANet, etc.)
VM’s are unsupported.
ALL firewalls and internet security applications should be totally disabled. If you get stuck with rows and rows of dots during the connection test process, it’s network filtering or other network issue!

rumrunner s-off for Verizon HTC One
[s-off] rumrunner s-off for Verizon HTC One[/thread][/B][/SIZE]
Hi! I am trying to run rumrunner (version rumrunner_m7wlv_1.10.605.15) and having major failures
I have tried Windows 7 64 bit, then Windows 7 32 bit
now I am on Linux, installed as a dual boot with Windows 7.
Followed all instructions to a T, double and triple checked every setting, etc.
I have already ensured these things:
-ADB and Fastboot commands working in Terminal
-Fastboot is UNchecked
-USB Debugging enabled
-Fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04, 32 bit w/Pentium dual core CPU T440
Here's what happens when I run the program:
<<<<<
! Do NOT for any reason taunt, unplug, drop, eat or pet your device !!
Please wait....
Checking for updates......
Test 1: Rebooting into bootloader
Waiting for fastboot (7/120)
Waiting
Test 2: Booting device
Waiting for ADB (19/120)
must ferment longer...
must sanitize, skunky rum is nasty
hold please..............................................
[************************************************************]
Rebooting into bootloader (again)
Waiting for fastboot (7/120)
FATAL: Download updated package at (link)
>>>>>>>> End of Install Code>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I have read so many tutorials and instructions, and am really hoping to find someone who can help me with this! I am not sure what to do next. Thanks in advance!
UPDATE: I user MIRC for help, and was able to get help there from BEAUPS. The issue was that I had 2 identical phones, requiring different versions of rumrunner. The problem wasn;t on my end, it had to do with the server that rumrunner connects to (maybe @beaups can clarify? ) I spent so long trying to figure it all out when I should have just got in touch with the developers in the first place. Thanks guys, working great now!

tried all rumrunner versions
i tried all the versions, 605.2 is the one required for my device. It errors out on the chilling stage and asks me to rerun the software. I tried and got further with .15 but it gives me an error on the chilling step and says "rom or root issue? unexpected behavior detected - flash different rom and try again" . I tried all the versions after that one with no luck. Has this been patched?
Im running 4.4.3 sense 6.0

Rumrunner is dead to m7vzw with 4.4.3 and beyond.
You have one option, that is Sunshine s-off for $25 bucks.
Or else find someone with a Java card, pay shipping, service fee, return shipping and be without your phone for a week.
No other options exist, period.

I tried installing this and it gives me the following error:
looks like device is not rooted AND lacks an unsecure kernel. su or FU!!!
This is a Verizon M7 with Android 4.4.2 and Sense 6.0. I tried installing root but it seems I need to be s-off to do this. I just got this phone today.
