Cannot enter bootloader - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development

I have a small problem. My phone will not enter bootloader. I am trying to upgrade the rom to Schap's however I can see which IPL and SPL versions I currently have. The problem is that my side OK button does not work.
Any help would be greatly apprecieated.

markafreeman,
Thank you very much for the link. I have been search all over for that.

Your welcome, if that doesn't give you the information need unzip this file and copy the exe to your device then run it and it should take you into bootloader mode.

Downgrade from 2005?

Want to downgrade from 2005. Both methods didn't work.
1. Use HimaUpgradeUt: Go to bootloader mode and normal mode, always get the attached error.
2. Use SD-bootloader, it said "Download doesn't allowed".
Can someone help me to find out the solution?
Thanks
I used himaupgrade_197.exe in bootloader mode and only nk.nbf file (wm2003se 2.06)
It's work for me.

Entering Bootloader w/o pwr/camera/RS

Is there a program that allows you to get into bootloader mode without having to press the Power/Camera/ReSet buttons. Now that we can flash with SD card I would like to enter bootloader status without the having to press all the buttons.
Does SPL 2.47 enter this mode when running the exe file on the phone?
guess not
guess not...
First of all, which device? I know of another way, but it requires a PC which is probably less expedient. It's an exe that you run and it puts the device in bootloader.
device
the device is a Titian. im guessing it requires an activesync connection.
Enter Bootloader off Storage Card
Just Unzip the Update Rom from the htc site and it will have the enter bootloader .exe file ....stick it on your storage card and run it from there, worked for me.

[SOLVED] Enable all options in debug tool make device go always to bootloader mode.

I enabled all the options at debugtool and now it goes always to bootloader.
Any idea how can i make my device boot succesfully to os ?
I try set 14 0 but nothing.
Can i change that values via bootloader command prompt ? I search all the forum there is no info about that.
Thanks
Someone to provide some help please ?

I saw your PM - this is fixable, but please tell me which SPL version you have currently
I finally fix the Auto Boot problem thanks to cmonex. He just send me a bin file and flash it via bootloader.
The bootloader that i had was Hard Spl 1.93 Olinex.
if anyone else has the same problem, then you can proceed in two different ways
- if you have MFG (1.40.OliNex) bootloader, then via mtty or qmat, simply issue the command "eraseconfig" (without the quotes)
- if you don't, then I can send you the mentioned bin file, after changing the backup CID setting to yours in it. let me know in a post or PM.
conclusion: before playing with debugtools, make sure you have MFG bootloader as it is much easier to fix it that way.

[Q] Stuck on HTC Logo, cannot enter hboot

Hi,
I searched a lot withouth luck.
After flashing a kernel my amoled Desire is stuck on the HTC logo.
It is s-off with latest hboot.
The problem is that the volume keys are broken..
So I cannot use power+volume down to enter fastboot or hboot..
From the pc with adb devices I cannot see the device.
Is there a way to recover my poor phone?
Or to enter hboot without
thank you very much for your attention
Use back+power to enter fastboot and select "bootloader"
Thank you very much!
It was so simple, but I didn't know this method, sorry.
After some little problems I manage to restore it. :victory:
I write down the difficulties I found, so if someone has the same issues, he could use that.
After entering fastboot adb could not see the device again.
Fastboot commander 1.51 could, but was unable to write a new rom from a zip.
So I write on the phone a nandroid backup (with fastboot commander).
It booted but was stuck on "Optimizing Applications".
From there adb coul see it.
So I rebooted into recovery with adb, flashed the same nandroid of before from the SD and it booted successfully.
Thank you again!
And thanks to all that keep this device alive and help who need it

I too searched for the thread of my problem but couldn't find it.
I was given this Desire and I switched it on, it booted directly to hboot. I thought may be I pressed the volume key unknowingly. But then I tried to reboot it via hboot, I found out that volume keys do not work. So I removed the battery and tried to switch it on again, and it did the same, booted to hboot directly.
It is s-off and does not have any recovery app installed.
What do i do. I really need some help.
P.S. Sorry for my english, and this is my first post/comment in here. I thought this thread somehow matches my problem.
Thanks

Heh guys,
You can enter hboot by holding down the back button then the power button together.
See abaaaabbbb63's reply above
Ps. Thank me if this helps.
But he can enter hboot, so I think the question was different, or I'm wrong?
When you are stuck on hboot, could you see the device with the command "adb devices"?
Have you installed the correct drivers on the pc?
If you haven't got a recovery I think it is not a problem, you can at least flash the original gingerbread ruu.
Have you tried fastboot commander?
Me noob

Umm... I'm a noob, the lowest one... Honestly I haven't done anything to this device coz I have no idea what to do. I tried googling hoping I would find some helpful infos to start with, but I didn't.
So can you please explain how do I get/do the above things??
The phone has been modified in any way by the previous owner?
First you need to connect the phone with the pc.
From hboot, if you see "fastboot" higlighted, press the power button one time to go into fastboot mode.
I cannot find my exact same drivers, but this should be just fine:
Code:
http://dl.xda-developers.com/attachdl/fe66812c2a4bd7da49a109b357afe420/518cba12/5/6/0/4/1/4/adb_driver_htc.zip
Download also Fastboot:
Code:
http://d-h.st/OFs
Plug the phone in the pc, when it asks for drivers, give it manually the folder that is inside the adb_driver_htc.zip.
It should see now the device from the device manager.
Extract the Fastboot.zip folder in a folder you want. (Like C:\).
With the phone inserted in the pc, open cmd (using the search function over start) and navigate to the directory where you've extracted fastboot.
After type "adb devices" without quotes, and see if it lists a device .
Sorry for my bad guide, hope we could figure it out .
You must understand how to use adb and fastboot, that are the tools we use to interface ourselves with the phone, so if needed the internet is full of little and friendly guides

[Q] Will I save my htc Desire?

Dear all,
I have been looking around the forums and downloaded a few things and looked at various solutions, but I am stuck at the first hurdle.
I have been given an htc Desire Bravo that just will not boot. I do not know how it failed originally but I can only get it into the boot screens, either the fastboot/hboot logon ot the 5 buzzes and the htc logo lock. Also it takes about 30 minutes with the battery out after every failed boot attempt to restart the boot screen.
I have run adb but it cannot tell me a cid number, I have a micro sd card in it but it does not have the pb99diag.zip on it. When I put such a file on the sd card it does not find it. Communication via adb and the phone has varied success. I suspect it is drivers and what I read is an old adb bug where server is out of date.
I have never done this before this weekend so please be gentle with me!
If I can get it to work, even to use it like a wifi tablet without phone I would be happy. I am in the UK and if we have real success I would get it on tesco PAYG
I get the "cannot find pb99diag.zip etc" dialogue when going into hboot.
The logon says

Can someone suggest where to start? I have tried a number of guides on the forum but no success so far. Even just getting an os running would be success. I will be looking at this each evening so apologies if I seem slow to respond
Thanks

First make S-Off. I forgot how but if i think right, you must it do via revolutionary, If it success, then download 4ext recovery.IMG and flash it via fastboot and reboot in bootloader in your recovery

After you s off u can flash hboot the easy way but first s off.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Free mobile app
If u phone does not boot then u can NOT s-off, ur phone needs to be booted.. also if ur s-on and not rooted then all u can do is flash a ruu.
Did u try factory reset from bootloader menu? Try that first, u never know but chances r ul prob need to ruu a ruu.

Hi jmcclue,
Thanks for the comments. I can boot to the HBoot and Fastboot screens, thats how I could find the S-ON and version data. If I get it to reboot, I get either a white screen with just "htc" on it, or 5 buzzes and a screen with no life at all. I am hopeful to get it to S-OFF as I have had some communication through the usb to pc connection. I am not sure if I can do an RUU update as I don't seem to have a CID. I do not have a factory reset option on the HBOOT screen. I have tried clear storage but that has no effect. Perhaps I need the S-OFF first.
Cheers again,
A
Use the 2.3gb update ruu its wwe (world wide english) so dont worry bout cid. U can find it in bortaks troubleshooting guide in resources section and its naned 2.3.3 ruu. U will find it easy enough in google aswell. Search for "htc desire 2.3gb update" its a exe file so just boot ur phone into fastboot, plug in ur phone and run the ruu, hopefully it willvwork. Im a bit worried tho about the 5 vibrations u get, maybe a sign of hardware failure. But try that ruu anyway. And again u can not get s-off unless ur phone is fully working/booted.

Well that was a bit wierd
If anyone can see where I went wrong, feel free to say.
I could not seem to get the link between the phone and the pc so I removed the htc sync and restarted the pc. I could then connect to the phone in some way as abd gave a command error when I sent a fastboot oem readcid which it normally does. So leaving it in fastboot with usb I ran the wwe~.exe file and it all seemed to be doing installing. There were tens of installations going to the phone I guess each reaching 100%. Suddenly I had a web page popup in my browser s.rev2pub.com/ul_cb/player.html?a=19471543&context=c23573548&size=800x600&rt=popunder&ci=10&cb=[CACHEBUSTER] recommending I download latest drivers. The wwe ruu vanished and I have no continuing processes in Task manager that I can see.
So, should I have installed in hboot? Thankfully I can still get the phone to power on. What should happen after the exe file installs?
I am able to get some response from the phone as adb devices returns the phone device number. So I hope I can try again.
Any thoughts?
Many thanks

Hey Adrian, I had the same problem as you did, hopefully I can be of help.
First, like everyone else is saying you will need S-OFF.
To do this head to this site on your PC revolutionary.io hit download for windows or Linux or whatever your pc is running, then you will need to fill out information about your device (see attached screenshot). Device, HBoot number, and serial number, (the serial number can be found behind the battery of your device). Once you have done that, click "Generate Key". it will give you a key, remember it or write it down.
Then, open the file that was downloaded, and extract the contents to your documents and Run the revolutionary( should look like the screenshot attached). Plug your device in (assuming you have the drivers) and it should ask you to enter the beta key we had before. Enter that and hit enter. it will then S-off your Desire and soon ask if you would like to install a custom recovery. hit Y and then enter, once that is finished, unplug your device and in HBoot go to "Recovery". Now you can flash a ROM of your choice.
Hopefully I made sense!
Best of luck

Thank you Neibaf97
Can I confirm that I can do this from the HBOOT screen or the fastboot screen? Also where jmmclue said if I can't boot then I can't S-Off, does that mean boot to the HBOOT screen or into Android? Then if I want to load say WWE, do I put that on a microSD to get it to recover?

Thanks lilsafbig, that was a little too ambiguous to understand, but I have a few developments.
I am able to communicate to some degree with adb between phone and pc. Before I was unable to get anything back but now with the right syntax I have got back the CID as HTC_001 and the device number. But when I run revolutionary from the fastboot USB screen the revolutionary continues to wait for the device to show. Is it likely that USB degugging was off prior to the failure, is there a way to get it on. I suggest this as when I connect it to my pc it recognizes the device and shows in the device manager as an htc unspecified device (this is progress). As I cannot boot android it does not show as an additional drive in file manger. when I try some of the fastboot oem commands I get bad command errors, whilst fastboot getvars is ok. Could this be why I cannot get revolutionary to S-OFF!
Thanks
additional info, when usb is in an in fastboot usb, the device manager sees it as android 1.0

If you can still get to bootloader / fastboot screen, then you are rarely ever bricked.
1. Ignore anything and everything to do with revolutionary and fastboot for now. I'm afraid the first few posts while trying to be helpful have been misleading. Get your phone booting up into Android OS first, i.e. into a stock ROM using an RUU
2. Use the 2.3.3. GB RUU, nothing else, it doesn't need a goldcard or care about CID etc.
3. Download it from the bottom here, then use Bortak's troubleshooting guide stickied to the top of Q&A, Point [7] to run it as a PB99IMG.zip from the root of your sdcard. That way you don't need to run it through USB or care about what drivers are installed.
Thank you Eddie, I will try that. I did try flash a PB99IMG.zip before with no success but I will try again.
I found it here Official Stock Sense Gingerbread_v1.2 GB-2.3.3_A2SD – http://androidba.se/J7 for desire (neophyte)
I hope it can work out ok. I guess I format the sd card to fat32 not ext4
Will let you know how it goes.

That's a custom rom.

That did not work because the file is not an RUU...it is a stock rooted custom ROM with A2SD (the clue is in the name). It is designed to flashed in recovery like any other ROM. Renaming it to PB99IMG.zip won't do anything.
Use the actual shipped roms RUU link provided.
Reformat your sdcard to a single FAT32 partition if necessary, then follow Method [7] of the guide, place only the PB99IMG.zip on the root of the sdcard (not in any folder)
