I'm pretty new here but as I documented the process of modding my own phone I thought I'd share it with you. I didn't invent any of these processes and this information is available from many different sources. I've tried to credit any source material that I've used verbatim. I am by no means an expert.
Please reply back with any corrections and I'll be happy to edit the post.
This guide describes how to take a HTC Desire HD (mine was fully patched with OTA updates including Sense 3.0), unlock it and install CyanogenMod onto it. It worked for me but it might not for you. I don't take any responsibility for you turning your phone into a brick!
Pro Tips
Remember, in any steps requiring the phone to be powered off, just give it a minute to make sure that it is properly turned off.
Understand what's happening! If you get what's going on, you've more chance of fixing it if it goes wrong. This process describes how to use HTCs official method to unlock the bootloader. This allows you to change the operating system on the phone. The phone contains a recovery system which we an engineer can boot into to replace the main operating system if it becomes unbootable. We are going to replace this stock recovery system with a modified one which allows us do fiddle about with the phone's internal partitions. Once we have the modified recovery system in place we use it backup the existing phone operating system and replace it with a modified one. We can also use it to restore the original one again if things go wrong.
Read all of the instructions properly first! Don't go off half-****ed!
As far as I'm aware you can't reverse the official HTC bootloader unlock (i.e put your phone back *exactly* as it was) and it may effect your warranty. You have been warned!
Unlock the Bootloader
INFO: You can use the HTCDEV unlock bootloader method from HTC as an 'official' means of unlocking the bootloader. Confused? Check out the official site: http://htcdev.com/bootloader/ I'm not going to describe it step by step here because HTC do that quite well enough themselves.
Quick tip. If when going from one step to another on the HTC website you come to a white screen, that may be because you've been logged out. Just go back to the first page, log in again, then go back to the last step you completed.
Another quick tip. Make sure you properly install everything HTC tells you to. We'll need it all later...
Installing recovery mode
INFO: The stock recovery mode itself is pretty basic and can't do much, so we need to replace it with a custom recovery image.
We're going to use the clockworkmod recovery image which you grab from here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4518713/archive/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.7.111102-j_r0dd_mod-ace.zip (originally seen here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118865)
Make sure that the fast boot mode on your phone is disabled. You can find this in your power settings menu.
If the phone is connected via a USB cable then unplug it.
Power off the phone using the power button and leave it alone for a minute.
INFO: To flash the new recovery image to the phone, you need to reboot the phone into the bootloader so that you can select a new image to boot. The bootloader is known as HBOOT.
Boot into HBOOT by holding down the 'volume down' button and pressing the power button.
By default FASTBOOT is selected so just press the power button to access it.
Attach the USB cable and note that FASTBOOT changes to FASTBOOT USB
On your PC open cmd prompt and cd to the platform-tools directory of the android sdk. Mine is at C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>
Copy the .img file from the clockworkmod zip file we downloaded earlier to the platform-tools directory. Rename it recovery.img
Go to your command prompt and issue this command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
INFO: The recovery image will then be written to your phone, and as long as everything went well you'll get a message saying OK.
Ensure that BOOTLOADER is selected in the HBOOT menu and press POWER button to select it. Now you're back at the HBOOT menu.
Use the volume buttons to highlight RECOVERY and press the power button to select it. After showing you the HTC logo, the phone should boot into recovery mode!
Backing up your phone
Using the volume buttons to select move to the 'backup and restore' option in the menu. Use power to select and use the backup option. This backs up your current phone setup to the SD card.
Select power off to turn off you phone. Leave it a few secs - select reboot system now.
When your phone is backup and running, mount it in mass storage mode and navigate to the root of your SD card. See the folder called 'clockworkmod'? copy that along with everything in it to your computer and put it somewhere safe. That's your backup. If needs be, you can use this backup your phone back to the original state!
Installing CyanogenMod (other mods may vary)
Mostly taken from http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Nexus_One:_Full_Update_Guide with some extra stuff that messed with me when I tried to do it.
Download the latest version of CyanogenMod from http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=ace
Download the Google Apps for the device. http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Latest_Version/Google_Apps
Place the CyanogenMod update.zip file on the root of the SD card.
Place the Google Apps .zip on the root of the SD card also.
Boot into the ClockworkMod Recovery.
Once the device boots into the ClockworkMod Recovery, use the side volume buttons to move around, and the power button to select.
Select the option to Wipe data/factory reset.
Then select the option to Wipe cache partition.
And the option to wipe the Dalvik cache
Select Install zip from sdcard.
Select Choose zip from sdcard.
Select the CyanogenMod update.zip.
Select Install zip from sdcard
Select Choose zip from sdcard
Select the Google apps zip
These extra steps seem to have been required by people in this thread. All credit due to marsdta and theluckster for their suggestions. I've edited this guide to include the instructions here where they are more visible.
On your computer extract the ROM zip (e.g. update-cm-7.1.0-DesireHD-signed.zip) and there should be a file inside it called boot.img. This should be flashed automatically, however for some reason via the HTCDEV method it is not.
To do it manually, you need to enter fastboot mode, as per the instructions above:
Boot into HBOOT by holding down the 'volume down' button and pressing the power button.
By default FASTBOOT is selected so just press the power button to access it.
Attach the USB cable and note that FASTBOOT changes to FASTBOOT USB
Then on your PC, in the directory you extracted the zip file run:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Once the installation has finished, select Go Back to get back to the main menu, and select the Reboot system now option. The phone should now boot into CyanogenMod.
Now wait for what seems like an incredibly long time with the phone showing the 'htc' screen.
INFO: The phone should now boot into CyanogenMod!
Restoring your phone - When things go wrong
OK, so you flashed a bad mod. Time to restore.
First up, put the backup you made in the previous step onto the root of your SDcard (if it isn't already there). Then, I came across this video which seems to explain things pretty well
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUYGe8mmNWU
The basic gist of it is, boot into recovery mode, format the cache, data and system partitions, wipe the Dalvik cache, then restore the backup from your SD card.
Wow thanks a lot!
I personally have 1 problem:
Step 12 of the "installing recovery mode" when i type in the command in command prompt is says:
'error: cannot load recovery.img'
I placed it in the same folder as fastboot en renamed it "recovery.img".
I unlocked the bootloader succesfully btw..
Any thoughts?
I think you should contemplate using attn1's ace hack kit to gain bootloader unlock instead of voiding your warranty.

Well I've already unlocked the bootloader through htcdev.
But tried the Attn1's as well...ended up saying:
/data/local/tmp/goldcard.img: cannot open for read: No such file or directory
starting downgrade...
** The phone will now reboot into HBOOT.
** It will then check the file just sent.
** If everything is okay, the phone will
** prompt you to continue by pressing
** VOLUME UP. It will reboot, flashing twice.
The phone did not prompt me to continue by pressing volume up.
When i start clockwork recovery it states i should root my phone...
So a lot going wrong and i can't figure out what..
how long the htc screen? I'm waiting for a looooong time
Thanks for the tutorial. I've followed the instructions and managed to unlock the bootloader and install ClockworkMod, however after flashing CM7 and rebooting it is stuck on the H3G boot screen (isn't flashing CM7 supposed to overwrite the boot logo?). I'm trying to flash:
update-cm-7.1.0-DesireHD-signed.zip
gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
I've double checked /data, /system, /cache and Dalvik-Cache have been wiped before flashing but still no avail
Here are the versions from the bootloader:
***UNLOCKED***
ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.00.0029
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.14.04.28_M
eMMC-boot
Dec 22 2011, 14:28:19
I am able to restore the backup, but flashing any other ROM just doesn't boot.
The guide is missing one key step . Flashing the boot image.
So after flashing your from boot back into boot loader and flash your roms boot.img.(just copy it over to your fast boot file)
Then run the command
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Reboot . Done.
You'll have to do this every time you flash different roms. 4ext has a nice feature of doing this for those that have HTC unlocked you should try it out

I didn't set notifications on this post and forgot it existed till today. I've updated the guide with the information posted by marsdta and theluckster to make things clearer. Sorry about any confusion caused by missing that step out.
the boot screen shows cyanogen(mod)7 instead of the regular HTC sign!! Following each and every step I landed up here. And now I am stuck, cuz this boot screen has been there for like half-an hour....does it mean something is wrong or does it take this much time to load first???
Hello,
for HTC dev unlocked bootloader (about what is added after step 15 in "installing cyanogen" phase) : it seems that the boot.img must be flashed before installing the .zip from sdcard.
I got stuck for that. Could be worth to make it clear.
Great tutorial anyway, thank you !

It shouldn't matter. I've seen people do it both ways and it worked fine for them.
@ash win. Your in a boot loop. Did you do a full wipe before flashing? Could be just a bad flash. Go back and reflash the rom and boot.img. you should also verify the md5hash to make sure yous didn't get a corrupt download file.
Just finished the tutorial, works perfectly. Thanks for writing it.
Does this unlock you from the network, i.e. is this the alternative to paying £15 for an unlock code?
I do understand this is for modding and flashing to a new ROM, but I am wondering if it also unlocks the phone from your network (or maybe that is IMEI based).
This is not for any illegal purposes, just I fancy a new ROM and I am now out of contract, so happy to experiment with flashing.

No, you need the aahk for that. That gives you sim unlock as well. Just Google attn1 aahk and you'll find it

Hi,
and how do i root my phone after HTCDev Unlock??
I want install the Custom Rom "Sabsa Prime". Do i need root to flash it?
Sorry for my bad english.
You may also want to include wiping battery stats in the advanced option of cwm in your guide
Hello guys. Before you proceed, I'll let you know that I don't own this device. Theoretically these steps should work.
1. Unlock bootloader
Go to settings>about, tap build number 7 times. This enables developer options. Here, select allow OEM unlock and USB debugging. Reboot in fastboot mode (power+vol down). Then go to this site
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a
And follow the instructions. They are pretty straightforward.
2. Install TWRP
Go to
http://lenovo-forums.ru/topic/22535-moto-m-kastomnoe-rekaveri-twrp-otklyuchenie-shifrovaniya/
And download TWRP_Moto_M.img and boot_M_S124.img
In fastboot mode type fastboot flash boot <the name of the latter file image, just drag it into the CMD window from adb and fastboot folder> then type fastboot flash recovery <TWRP file>
Then type fastboot boot <TWRP file> and voila, you are booted in custom recovery.
IMPORTANT: FOR ALL THAT IS GOOD AND FAIR, MAKE A BACKUP OF EVERY FOLDER. IF YOU MESS UP SOMEWHERE, I WON'T BE ABLE TO HELP YOU!!
Now you may proceed to rooting procedures.
Tell me if this works. And before asking any questions in this thread, use the DAMN INTERNET; Google or Bing or Yahoo, whatever floats your boat

If you are unsure of any step, and Google does not help, ask it in this thread and wait for my reply

The wrong way to go.
Follow these steps:
In Windows command prompt write adb reboot bootloader. The device will reboot into fastboot.
The following command - fastboot oem unlock. You will be prompted on the phone screen, volume up to confirm, down to refuse. Who decided to change his mind
I waited a few seconds and at the command prompt, I got the answer - OK.
Disconnect the cable from the phone and hold the power button reboot the phone and put aside. He will restart another 2 times, will go to the drain recovery and erase all data from your phone. Therefore, I recommend to make a backup.
You just have to wait to boot the phone. approximately 5-7 minutes.
The bootloader is unlocked.

That's just the point, that you give the wrong information.
You give a link to the unlocking of MOTO devices on the Qualcomm processor, and that method is not suitable for MTK.

problem
bro i am unlocking the bootloader it boots to bootloader then it asks for yes to unlocking the bootloader in phone it says volume up to yes or volume down to NO i press volume but it automatically cancelled what to do man
I installed Android O DP2 update via OTA yesterday. The phone updated, rebooted to the new build and restarted abruptly and since then has been stuck in a boot loop. The Google logo shows up, goes to the android animation step and then Google logo appears again.
I don't have bootloader unlocked, don't have TWRP and have done OTA updates. I am able to get into the stock recovery mode.
How do I fix this, i.e. make it work in any way without erasing the user data? I don't mind extreme steps (without erasing user data) because I was planning to reflash 7 with unlocking & rooting today.
Try to wipe cache from recovery - in recovery hold volume-down and select "Wipe cache partition". Should do the trick
I tried, didn't work. Had to factory reset in the end. Also opted out of beta
I just read that some people that took the update from certain builds had boot loops due to the update only replacing part of the OS but leaving the 7.x.x system in place causing it to boot loop. I think it was like on android authority or something like that.

To flash a system image:
Download the latest system image for your Nexus 6p, then unzip it to a safe directory.
https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/angler-n2g47o-factory-dc258043.zip
or Download any of your choice from here
https://developers.google.com/android/images
Connect your device to your computer over USB.
Start the device in fastboot mode with one of the following methods:
adb tool
http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html
Using a key combo: Turn the device off, then turn it on and immediately hold down the relevant key combination for your device.
POWER BUTTON + VOLUME DOWN BUTTON
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If necessary, unlock the device's bootloader using one of the following methods:
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
If you are updating an older device, run this command:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
The target device will show you a confirmation screen. (This erases all data on the target device.)
Open a terminal and navigate to the unzipped system image directory or Open a command prompt from within your System image folder (navigate to where you have flash-all.bat located on your PC, shift + right click anywhere within that folder, select open command prompt here
Execute the flash-all script.
Code:
fastboot flash-all.bat
This script installs the necessary bootloader, baseband firmware(s), and operating system.
Once the script finishes, your device reboots. You should now lock the bootloader for security:
Start the device in fastboot mode again, as described above.
Execute:
Code:
fastboot flashing lock
or, for older devices, run:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Locking bootloader will wipe the data on some devices. After locking the bootloader, if you want to flash the device again, you must run fastboot oem unlock again, which will wipe the data.

Dear Mavelos,
I already tried that and the installation was successful, but my first problem still there, when I installed the Android O Beta, the touch of my screen stop working after the 2nd day of installation.
Now I don't know if this is a problem with Android O or just a coincidence and the hardware its broken.
I went to a lot of forums but nobody its talking about that (Touch Screen not working)
Did You guys hear anything about it?

You'll have to use a Rescue OTA
Download the latest Nexus 6P OTA from here https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/angler-ota-n2g47o-ec3f4df1.zip
STEPS TO FOLLOW
To apply an OTA update image:
Download the appropriate update image for your device below.
https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/angler-ota-n2g47o-ec3f4df1.zip
Boot into your recovery from fastboot
use the key combination for your device
Code:
POWER + VOLUME DOWN
and then select the Recovery option from the bootloader menu. The device is now in recovery mode and an Android logo with red exclamation mark should appear on screen.
Hold the Power button and press Volume Up once, and a menu will appear. Select the option Apply update from ADB.
Run the following command on your PC:
Code:
adb devices
and check that your device shows up with "sideload" next to its name.
Run the following command:
Code:
adb sideload ota_file.zip
where ota_file.zip is the name of the file you have downloaded and verified.

I have the same problem as others, stuck in a bootloop and had not enabled unlock in dev options. I can get to bootloader but not recovery mode (bootloops when I select this). I would love to try this OTA side load, but I can't see my device in adb. I can see it however in fastboot. Not sure how to get it up in adb....
Any help would be much appreciated.

If you get a bootloop when selecting recovery, try rebooting to recovery with fastboot
Code:
fastboot reboot recovery
if that doesn't work, then i think your device is bricked.

If your touch screen isn't working, it might be related to the Android O Beta you flashed. Can you boot the phone up? If you have an OTG cable, connect a mouse to your phone. Turn on OEM unlocking in developer options. Do a factory reset.
i have the same problem with this, and i cannot unlock it too, is there anyway to unlock this phone?
OTG works Perfect! But.....

So I Follow your suggestion and I bought the OTG adapter, works perfectly I unlocked the bootloader from the developers options, did a factory restore with a previous image, etc.... Touch still not working, I'm starting to believe this a hardware problem with the screen.... Bad Luck maybe, I don't know! ..... I will have to buy that expensive screen ($140).
Anyway thanks for the help...

Method Issues
Bro, I have faced a few problems since I have started
i) When I type in adb devices it shows my phone but unauthorized
so I have to allow it as you said but only after a reboot and doing the process again will it show authorized
ii) after entering adb reboot bootloader it doesnt show bootloader locked but straight up fastboot mode
iii) then when i enter fastboot oem unlock it shows asks me if I want to unlock, I press on volume up. Then it again asks me some other thing and I hold the volume up down and power together. Next I reboot into my phone. All data erased. I setup it again.
Now, does this mean my bootloader is unlocked? When I reboot it shows something on the middle right- unlocked..
So does this mean I continue and install twrp now? or what?

1 - It doen't matter if its authorized or not..
2 - yes! thats correct it directly takes you to fastboot mode it use to show bootloader locked for old Moto phones).I 'll make changes in the thread.
Yes! your bootloader is unlocked successfully..
if you see something like 'Your devices is unlocked and cant be trusted' on the left hand side during the moto logo.

Hey bro, I am not about to install the recovery.
Before this may I ask why we need to flash boot_XT1663_356.img ?
Also, isn't this command wrong? fastboot flash boot boot_XT1663_356.img
It should be fastboot flash boot boot_XT1663_356.img
Without the boot twice ryt?
Also, will the data be erased after installing TWRP recovery or not? If not, will it be erased after installing the SuperSU?

1 - It is the Image file which is specifically build for S356 (build number) hence it is necessary to flash it before flashing TWRP. If you don't flash boot image then you might face boot loop issues and hard brick your phone.
2 - The correct command is 'fastboot flash boot boot_XT1663_356.img' . the first boot is to recognize cmd that we are flashing a boot image and the second boot is the name of image file.
3 - Flashing TWRP and Super SU won't erase your data.

Does anyone know how to keep your Moto M rooted even after updating to the new security update of 7.0? Do we just flash the new .img file or what? Kinda newb here
I had stock android 7, used the toolkit, "Unlocked" the bootloader, after that there was a part with erasing all data to factory due to an error, something along the lines there was a pin or password detected, and after I pressed reset the screen went black, and when it tries to boot it shows ZTE for a second and then it vibrates and shuts off instantly. So I can get it in to edl mode and I see the Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 in my devices, but I can't find any thread to fix this. Tried flashing stock firmwares via MiFlash, no luck. And the thing is, most roms I download give me a batch of files in a zip, if I put them in a folder and try to flash I get this - Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Help asap, because I am having a horrible time using my partially destroyed S6 Edge Plus. If I spelled smth wrong sorry, Russian here.
This is what I had - My device is stuck on an 'Enter your password to start Android' screen.
Unfortunately this requires a factory reset.
1) Boot your device into recovery mode by pressing and holding the power and volume up buttons for 10-15 seconds.
2) Stock Recovery: Use the volume down key to go down to 'Wipe data/factory reset' and press power to select. Press the volume down key again to go down to 'Yes' and press power to select.
TWRP Recovery: Tap "Wipe" < Tap "Advanced Wipe" < Check the box next to "data" < Tap "Repair or change file system" < Tap "EXT4" < Swipe to confirm.
3) Reboot your device.

I had a similar problem on my 2017U model after flashing a .zip that was supposed to remove the "bootloader is unlocked" screen that shows up after you unlock the bootloader. Long story short, the .zip wasn't meant for U models. Only G. So my phone was in a worse situation than yours and would not power on. You'll need to download an EDL recovery firmware .zip for your phone and place it within the toolkits folders manually and then go through the steps of the toolkit which I'll try to help you do.
First, download the full stock B09 (G) firmware from here. You can OTA update to the latest firmware after a successful flash. It's okay to flash an older firmware in this situation.
Once done, navigate to C:\Axon7Development\Axon7Toolkit\MiFlash\B09\ (copy/move the full .zip of the B09 firmware you downloaded in the first step into this folder) If the B09 folder doesn't exist under \MiFlash, create it manually.
Run the toolkit again from the start and type 11 "RESTORE TO STOCK/RECOVER FROM HARDBRICK (EDL)" and hit enter. On the next screen type in the number that will restore B09. It should tell you how to put the phone in EDL mode and automatically open MiFlash. Make sure to follow the steps and paste the directory path of the firmware in the top bar in MiFlash. After you pasted it his Flash and it should successfully flash the firmware. If it gives you an error or times out, unplug the phone and try a different USB port or USB cable. It's obviously recommended you use the one that came with the phone. My first attempt at MiFlash timed out and didn't flash anything. I tried a different USB port and then it flashed.
After it flashes the firmware, leave the phone plugged in and hold down the power button for about 10 seconds until it restarts out of EDL. From there you should have a working phone again with some exceptions. It'll be on an older firmware so I would recommend booting into stock recovery and factory resetting data and wiping your cache. Then restart the phone and do an OTA update to the latest firmware. After you reach the latest firmware you can then use the toolkit for whatever you need.
Sidenote, your English is very good considering you're Russian. No need to apologize because your post had no spelling errors. :highfive:

I haven't read what the other guy said, but basically you have to use miflash. just use my DFU unbrick guide but from the point where you short the testpad to enter EDL. But instead of opening the phone just put it in edl via adb reboot edl or holding vol+ - and inserting the cable

Did you create the B09 folder in the MiFlash directory? I also had errors downloading firmwares through the toolkit, which is why I had to do it manually and move the firmware into the proper directory for the toolkit.

that's totally normal. Your internal storage is encrypted, you have to go into TWRP and format data (not wipe, format). Anyways by unlocking you lose all of your data so it's not like you lose anything
If it doesn't work, then you'll have to change the data partition's filesystem because it may be in F2FS. Change it back to ext4 if that happens

I don't have TWRP, firs I Unlocked the bootloader, now I try to flash TWRP and get error due to the force encryption on Nougat, and I can't find a way to disable it, also now when I try to boot to stock recovery the led flashes for a milisecond and powers off.
