hmm after the pushing rom to sdcard and after temproot i get an error with unable to chmod /data/local/tmp/goldcard.img: operation not permitted, but it still is ongoing is that good? i still get to follow the steps, but i was wondering if that error is good or not

trying to root my desire hd using aahk.during the initial step where it downloads a file and asks us to press 'y' for flashing..after that i get an error
"Unable to chmod /data/local/tmp/goldcard.img: Operation not permitted"...
But the process still continues and the phone restarts several times.and in the end that img file is checked and i am asked to update.cancelled that update though because did not want to mess up anything.
What am i doing wrong here..why that error in the beginning..
 
the aahk is creating a gold card out of your sd,with it present and in the phone,in attempt to eliminate a potentially confusing manual step. the error you mention seems to be the aahk is having issue creating the gold card.

if you were asked to update on the phone,you can allow it-all it means is that you are unbranded,or simply a CID that allows unbranded RUUs to flash. the failure to create a goldcard would have prevented the phone to ask for the update if it was an incompatible CID.

assuming you have a working phone,go ahead and run the aahk again,if you want to. if you allow the update this time,it should downgrade and run the exploit to give you s-off,supercid and simunlock :)
 
as soon as i got that chmod error,aahk asked me to pressvolume key+power button when i see a red triangle.did it and it went into some recovery mode,blue screen with some options.rebooted it from there.did this step 2 times and the 3rd time it went into the hboot asking me to press volume button to start update.i did not update and rebooted the phone because i wanted to clear out that goldcard error

you can allow that update. the hboot update is installing downgrade firmware,so that the unlock exploit can be run.

Guys thankx for responding..

@Scotty
Creation of gold card is for branded phones only.It means i can ignore that gold card error ad should update while i am in hboot
 
this happened when i ran aahk first..

Would you like to DOWNGRADE? y/n y


Flash this RUU? (y/n) y

pushing rom to sdcard - this takes time, please be patient.

Aahk said something like starting recovery..and after that phone restared several times till it reached hbbot for update..this thing and the red triangle at startup,are these things normal?Actually never rooted any phone before thats why so curious...
 
I have used the kit a few time's, and it does sound like its all normal to me. As long as it asks you to do the update, you should be fine. Not sure why that error appears though, i could be that you're unbranded and its skipping that part??:confused:

i have never run the aahk,so i cannot confirm for certain what you are seeing. i have written a manual guide to basically the same thing,so i am familiar with the basic process the aahk is doing for you.

id say the "Unable to chmod /data/local/tmp/goldcard.img: Operation not permitted.." is not normal,but again,it apparently did not matter. if your phones CID was incompatible with the downgrade,the hboot screen would have give you a "CID incompatible" error,in wich case it would have been important for us to figure out why that error would take place.

since you arrived at an hboot screen asking you to update,then the rest of what the aahk does(gain temp root,rewrite the main version to allow the downgrade) apparently went without a hitch,so i would venture to guess the reboots and different screens you saw were in fact a fairly normal occurance.

again,you can accept this update on the hboot screen without fear of anything bad happening. as a matter of fact,it is prolly still on your sd card,so you may be able to boot to hboot,let it find the file,and accept the update without running aahk again(assuming the emmc hasnt changed your main version back to what it should be). if this is successful,let the phone boot into the downgrade softwarte,plug the phone back in and select the option to root,s-off,etc. dont panic if your sound doesnt work while on the downgrade software. be prepaired to immediately flash an update ruu,or install a recovery and flash a newer rom to get back to a 100% sound enabled,functional device ;)

hopefully D-U-R-X can confirm some of the things you are seeing for some peace of mind,ad he has experience running the aahk... im sure he will be along shortly :)
 
it gives me an option to update but i cancelled it.wanted to ask experts about that error.I can ignore that gold card error and proceed furtherbut i dont know how will it root my phone.because a gold card is adviced to be made in every rooting method
 
Hey saeedyasir91! I have only used the AAHK once and that was a while ago now. I don't think that you should have any issues and would go for it! :) We will be able to run the stock RUU with you if we need to, to put you back on to stock! :)
 
downgraded,then rooted dhd..no more errors or trouble.

Definitely recommend IceColdSandwich mate.......[ROM]11-07-2012 | IceColdSandwich - 8.3 - AOKP | ROSSI EDITION - xda-developers
Click to expand...

This is what I am currently running... in the ATR Guide sticky, I have changed the name of the link just to IceColdSandwich, as the guy updates the OP of the thread on XDA each time they have a new version.

It's a good ROM... it is Vanilla Android (does not have HTC's Sense overlay/UI)... I prefer Vanilla Android and have had it on my phone since about 3-4 weeks after I got my phone :)
 
actually i had to wait a little for the gold card creation.as soon as i updated from hboot,everything worked perfect after that...
Thankx scotty...i was so scared to update from hboot but you made me do it :)
You guys rock..
 
currently runnnig the icecold rom...So smooth it is...i was used to laggy sense.Got out of sense and not missing it at all..
Loved the ics but still some of the sense widgets i miss here
