Root Boot loop after rooting DHD 2.3.3

ksagar04 · Aug 31, 2012

Hi Scotty85,

I have shortened the name of the file to RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE, then entered fastboot and executed the commands as pasted below.

aaaaah. there is just a simple command entry error.

the command you are entering is this:
fastboot flash zip fastboot flash zip RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE
and has an extra fastboot flash zip in it(wich i just realzied is my fault.ill do a quick ninja edit of the above commands

). you will also need the file extension after the name of the file,so the command to flash the shortened name file is this:

fastboot flash zip RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE.zip

the other important thing to note,is that you have changed the name of the zipfile inside mini-adb_inspire to match the command. i.e., the file previously named RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.6_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26 .03.02.26_M_release_155891_signed inside mini-adb_inspire should now be named RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE and should still be a zipped up folder.

sorry for the mis guidance above,not sure how i got that extra text in tehre

assuming your gold card is made correctly,the downgrade file should flash for you now.

edit:
if you get other errors,just keep copying the cmd window and pasting it. hopefuly youre now good to go

it may help to see what you should see in your cmd window:

one last bit:
make sure the phone is charged to 100% if it will still charge,prior to doing this. you dont want it to die while flashing :eek:

also make sure you do NOT interupt the phone for any reason once the numbers start rolling,and the green line appears on the phones screen. disturbing it during a hboot or radio flash,especially,will be very,very bad. sometimes you may think its hung for a few minutes,resist the temptation to pull the plug

are you sure the phone was in fastboot? it should say fastboot usb at the top.

having the phone in hboot is when i typically see this error.

also make sure that htc sync,pdanet,easy tether,or any other program capable of communicating with the phone is disabled or temporarily uninstalled.

you might also try different usb ports and cables. sounds far fetched,but sometimes it works. ive learned the hard way that not all usb cables are created equal.

also see above post about the phone charge.

ksagar04 · Aug 31, 2012

Yes, The phone was in fastboot.

I will charge the phone for a while and then check again if it works.

Thanks,
Sagar

sounds good. im off to bed,hopefully in the morning i will see some success

you might also try a factory reset from hboot,if you have not allready.

scotty85 · Sep 1, 2012

i did some searching on the too many links error. alot of references to it being from using a slow usb connection :eek:

so definately make sure to try some different cables,and also do not plug it into a hub,try plugging it directly into different ports on the PC.

i did also find a couple references to adb/fastboot not being quite compatible with usb 3.0,so if thats what you have,it may be worthwhile to try the process with a usb 2.0 pc or laptop,if you have access to one.

if it is a usb cable or 3.0 issue,then it would definately be worthwhile to try and flash it in hboot from your sd card. youll just need a card reader(or another phone) to trasnfer the .zip to the gold sd card(make sure its FAT32 formatted). rename it PD98IMG,put it back in the non working phone,and power on into hboot. hopefully hboot will find the file and ask you to update

ill keep searching and let you know if anything else pops up. im off to work in a bit,but ill try and watch if you have prollems.

in an absolute worse case,you might just try the factory att software. if it works,youll at least be up and running again,and we can defiantely get you rooted from there as well,it will just be a few extra steps. it would be nice if we can boot you into the downgrade firmware,but its not a neccessity

the links for current 2.47.502.7 again are:
Shipped ROMs for the zip file

and

Shipped ROMs for the .exe

ksagar04 · Sep 1, 2012

Hi Scotty85,

I have change to USB 2.0. This time I didn't get the "Too many links" error.

scotty85 · Sep 1, 2012

Unfortunately,that means that your gold card is not made correctly.

If you run the factory att ruu,it should flash and get you back to a working phone

ksagar04 · Sep 1, 2012

Thanks Scotty85,
Can you let me know to run the factory att ruu. Is it a direct command "factory att ruu" to be pasted in cmd window. Can you please elaborate on this.

Regards,
Sagar

scotty85 · Sep 1, 2012

Download from links above...

Flash as you have been this one.

It is the same type of file,just for att inspire so it won't fail with model id error

ksagar04 · Sep 1, 2012

Hi Scotty85,

After copying the above link and renaming it to PD98IMG.zip, on starting in boot loader, it asked me to update and I did it. The phone is up and running with the 2.3.3 version.
Thanks a lot. Now, can you please guide me to root it.

Thanks and regards,
Sagar

scotty85 · Sep 2, 2012

sorry for the short answers yesterday and the delayed reply... was a long day yesterday!

anyway,im glad you are up and running again :smokingsomb:

as for rooting,you can run the aahk again,or i have a guide that you can do it manually: http://androidforums.com/inspire-4g...ally-downgrade-root-inspire-4g-desire-hd.html if youd like to try it that way,id be happy to assist you.

however,for the manual guide to work,you will have to remake your gold card and get it working,as its neccessary to flash the unbranded downgrade ruu.

should be a less panic-y situation this time,as if the ruu doenst flash as it didnt yesterday,you can always just reboot to a working phone.

the aahk *should* make the gold card and downgrade for you.

ive never used the aahk(i prefer manual commands and the cmd window) so i dont know the exact memu options,but when/if you want to try it again,make sure you pick the downgrade option prior to the s-off option.

ksagar04 · Sep 2, 2012

Thanks a lot Scotty85,
I am very happy that you helped me through the process.
I will go through the manual process to root and in any concern will ping you.
Thanks and regards,
Sagar

awsome.

i should get an email notification if you reply on that thread. just remember,the key is the gold card. make sure the gold card is formatted FAT32,and that you hex-edit it according to directions. if you dont get the gold card made correctly,youll get the "modelid" failure when trying to run the downgrade

edit:
it may be worth our while to find some better gold card making directions. the ones linked are not bad,but not the most informative!

Hi Scotty85,
I have completed successfully until step5 in the link you sent to manually root the phone.
But in step6,
adb push psneuter /data/local/

I am getting error as

look inside mini_adb_inspire,and make sure you have a file inside called 'psneuter'

if not,your computer may have blocked its download,ive seen this happen with zergrush as well.

let me upload that,so if it is missing,you can just redownload that,and not the whole large file

scotty85 · Sep 3, 2012

here you go:
varioius_htc_exploits.zip
md5: varioius_htc_exploits.zip b766bbd500045e9cf9f914984a66f279

its a zip inside a zip,so hopefully it will download a lil easier. just move psneuter from that file to mini-adb_inspire

hmmm when you flashed 'RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE.zip' that was the downgrade ruu,correct? verify that you have booted into 1.32.405.6 firmware.

if you have,im not quite sure what to think...

the prollem started with this failure:

/data/local/psneuter
Failed to set prot mask (Inappropriate ioctl for device)

wich seems to somewhat indicate that the exploit is not working on that firmware,or that device... but the copy/paste of the codeboxes are from me running thru it on the exact same device,on that same downgrade firmware,so im not really sure why its unhappy,unless youve just got something running on your PC thats casusing confusion,wich may be supported by the fact that it seems you were able to get some things working simply by repeating the command.

at any rate, when you entered
/data/local/psneuter
it should have given you this output:

property service neutered.
killing adbd. (should restart in a second or two)

youd then have temp root,and when you do adb shell in the next line,it should change the prompt to #. wpthis needs to have root access to do its thing,wich it did not since psneuter failed.

consequently,gfree could not do its thing,because wpthis couldnt do its thing,because psneuter didnt give it root access.

SO...

if you ARE on 1.32.605.6 firmware,dont stress,well figure it out.

id try a reboot of the phone and pc,and make abosultely sure that you have htc sync,pdanet,easytether,or ANY other program capable of manipulating the phone disabled.

you can then start step 6 again.

if you find youve accidentally run a different ruu,then well need to work on getting on 1.32.605.6.

ok,so i think i see what has happened. i compared the md5 sum that you got above:

c:\mini-adb_inspire>md5sums RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE.zip

[c:\mini-adb_inspire\]
RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE.zip 100% 7152e6ebd09f5ca9f0a88b2c9c9a30c0

to the one for the downgrade ruu,wich is:

c:\mini-adb_inspire>md5sums RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.6_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.0
3.02.26_M_release_155891_signed.zip

RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.6_Radio_12.28... 100% c3d244a9f056e48ee3851a14ff52204c

so i then compared it to the one you ran to get your phone working(current att): PD98IMG_Ace_Gingerbread_S_Cingular_US_2.47.502.7_Radio_12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M_release_200368_signed.zip 7152e6ebd09f5ca9f0a88b2c9c9a30c0

so it appears that you have some point swapped out the ruus in the mini-adb_inspire folder,and you have simply reflashed the phones stock software.

you can confirm it by checking settings/about phone and finding build number 2.47.502.7.

i know you are prolly getting fustrated,but rest assured that you are doing a great job for someone whose never used adb or entered commands in a cmd window :cool:

the bad news,im afraid,is that youll need to start over at step 5,and make sure that the ruu md5 matches c3d244a9f056e48ee3851a14ff52204c so that you know that youre flshing the correct ruu.

once you get yourself on 1.32.405.6 the step 6 commands are a breeze,and youll fly right thru em

Hi Scotty,

It is still 2.47.502.7 -the software number.Can you please send me the RUU link for the downgrade.

Thanks and regards,
Sagar

ksagar04 · Sep 3, 2012

Hi Scotty85,

Correct me if I am wrong. The downgrade RUU is the same zip file present in http://www.androidfilehost.com/main/Thunderbolt_Developers/scotty85/DHD-root-downgrade-soff.zip.

I am right, for some reason I may have replaced this zip file with some other zip file by mistake.

If it is the situation, I am supposed to carry on from the step 5. ( By downloading the correct RUU )..

Thanks and regards,
Sagar.
