Root Desire HD Fastboot Remote not allowed

Hi, Will this help

PHP:
[B]fastboot erase data[/B]
erasing 'data'...
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.003s

[B]fastboot erase cache[/B]
erasing 'cache'...
OKAY [  0.183s]
finished. total time: 0.184s

[B]fastboot format cache[/B]

formatting 'cache' partition...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: 0.012s


seems like sytem critical command FAIL !!!

erasing 'cache' works
formating 'cache' does NOT !!!

erase 'data' too does NOT !!!


Is there anyway i can gain root from hboot/fastboot ?
I know my device says 'ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF RL'

but some permissions issue does exist as it seems system critical commands FAIL !!!

also scotty85's ROM link is the exact version my device was shipped ...
i in fact ran it as PD98DIAG.zip and it said it flashed all components OK ...
but it just didn't boot into an OS :(

the problem is i am unable to successfully run the below commands

this command
fastboot reboot-bootloader
as i understand should reboot back into the bootloader automatically
BUT - IT DOES NOT REBOOT INTO THE BOOTLOADER INSTEAD BOOTS TO THE WHITE HTC SCREEN
&
this command
fastboot oem rebootRUU
as i understand this should boot into a phone RUU mode
BUT - IT DOES NOT REBOOT INTO ONE BUT INSTEAD BOOTS INTO THE WHITE HTC SCREEN

if someone can put their finger on where the problem lies ... i could attempt the offered suggestion.

I BELIEVE THE ONLY AVENUE I AM LEFT WITH IS TRYING 'AAHK' INSPITE OF THE WARNING TO NOT ATTEMPT ON A PHONE SHIPPED WITH 'GINGERBREAD'

what say ?

thanks

Why are you naming the file PD98DIAG? :thinking: you should be naming this file PD98IMG... Nonetheless,if all partitions are updating successfully,and the phone is still not booting,then you likely have some sort of hardware failure. You can try a factory reset,and you can try some different RUUs,but unfortunately i wouldn't get your hopes up too much.

You are allready s off. There are no benefits to running the aahk,even if it would work with the phone in this state(it wont). As I said above,you can install a custom recovery as a PD98IMG. Tho there unfortunately won't be a lot of benefits of doing so,other than we can run some adb commands to check the condition of the emmc.

You could also install an eng hboot for a few extra fastboot commands... But I don't think there would be much benefit of that,either :(

Thanks for the reply scotty85 ...

Can you please help me with the steps to install a eng hboot ?
Where can i download the image and what are the commands to install it through fastboot ?

thanks,

you can download the hboot from here:
hboot_7230_Ace_0.85.2425_110411.zip
the md5 sum is:
hboot_7230_Ace_0.85.2425_110411.zip ec7f201605b058aeb8caaa7e7df8f702


if the "fastboot oem rebootRUU" commands arent working for you,youll need to rename the file to PD98IMG,place on the root of your sd,and boot to hboot for it to install. afterward,let the phone reboot. when it doesnt,you can pull the battery,remove the sd card,and remove PD98IMG from it.

boot to hboot agin,and you should see ***AAHK*** and "eng s off" at the top.

select fastboot,make sure that your recovery image is in your adb/fastboot folder and attempt to boot recovery directly into phone memory:

fastboot boot imagename.img
where imagename is the exact name of your recovery image

example:
fastboot boot ext-4_recovery.img

if that works,try adb devices and see that you get a response.

if so,you can check the condition of your emmc as follows:
open cmd

adb devices
adb shell
dmesg | grep mmc0

good output(gsm 3d with ext 4 recovery):
Code:
c:\miniadb_shooteru>[COLOR="Red"]adb shell[/COLOR]
~ # [COLOR="red"]dmesg | grep mmc0[/COLOR]
dmesg | grep mmc0

~ #


bad output(from internet):
Code:
mmc0: failed to get card ready
mmc0: reinit card
mmc0: Starting deferred resume
mmc0: Deferred resume failed

and let us know that output :)

one last thing that i can think of:

you caN BOOt back to bootloader via recovery menu options,or adb reboot bootloader,and try booting your boot image.

pull the "boot" image from the most recent ruu that you ran(wich i assume to be this one: Shipped ROMs )

extract "rom.zip"(i use 7-zip) place the boot image into your adb/fastboot folder. use this command:
fastboot boot imagename.img

most likely:
fastboot boot boot.img

maybe,your phone will boot. :)

im off to work,but ill try watch if you have any questions :)
