Welcome
Please READ the Wiki

im having the same problem that you are having. i have an htc 6800 and id like some help on what i might be screwing up on. this is my first flash and im not quite how to fix it. it seems like some one might know whats happening to us.
this is my first flash. and this is what i know. i know i have bl 1.20 and which was successfully installed.... then i tried to install a rom. alltel as it was required to flash the phone to cricket. that didn't work so well. about 11-12% my comp made a thinking noise like it was starting to load something then my 6800 flashed red and went back to the red green blue screen... so ive been at it all day and found lots of useful info on the internet learning lots about this phone and flashing procedures. found a place online where it instructed me to "force feed the rom" mind you this wasn't something that would fix my problem just a different way to install the rom. so i used a blank RUU and that for the moment looked like it would work. it to had a communication error but it got to 59% the error code was 260. it asked me to unplug everything and plug everything. i have been at this a while i have tried many configurations and different computers and different usb ports. i don't even have a full drasp on this yet. some one tell me how to fix this or what i did wrong. im interested in somthing i read about that i cant find now about loading the rom by resting the phone and the rom installing from the sd card???? can i do this if my usb is acting up?
Hi - while trying to install Skype, the entire OS simply crashed. The phone does switches on but no longer finds the OS. Hence, I have no way to get an ActiveSync connection. Is there any way to install a clean O/S onto it?
Thanks in advance,
First step take your time to read the sticky located at the top of forum..
You could try an hard-reset and if all else fails flash stock ROM via bootloader, then update to ROM of choice.
Error 300
Thanks. I did. Particularly the "unbricking instructions post" from ookba.
The issue is that my Dash does not even start up. Hence, there is no way for me to get an active sync connection.
Current Status:
- phone can be started by pressing the Camera key and Power, which shows the red-green-blue screen
- phone can then be connected to the PC via a USB connection. I hear the ba-bing, but the phone does/will not establish an Active Sync (which makes sense)
- downloaded the TMO official ROM from the TMO site which is a WM6. Now, I know my phone did not previously have WM6. It probably had WM5.x but I cannot find the SHIPPED ROM anywhere.
- when I tried the RRU from TMO WM6 ROM, I got through all the way to upgrading. At which point, the mobile screen went to a white/grey with status bar stuck at 0%. But the PC application crashed and gave an error 300.
repeated the same with Kavana's ROM and the same issue.
I am looking through the forums for error 300 but most solutions seems to require an Active Sync connection. Any other suggestions?
Thanks.
have you tried hard reset? thats your best option
like stylez said, find the stock rom that was already on your phone and flash that.
i know you said you cant find it but it'll be online somewhere
look here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=381726&highlight=official+roms
The key here is that you find your original stock rom, I had the same issue a while ago and took some time to get my stock rom in the web, since the forum didn't have it. I found it in the rapidshare library http://rapidlibrary.com/index.php?q=rapidshare+library, searching under HTC s621 rom. Additionally, have u try method # 3 in the unbricking tutorial? It worked for me.
dear all,
My Telstra branded HTC Desire 8183 died out of nowhere.
Here's what I did:
Rooted with R5
MCR 3.1 ROM (custom kitchen with A2SD+) and r17 froyo rom (mostly MCR3.1)
everything went well, and i was happy with it for 2 weeks (blasting fast HSDPA speed and runs perfectly fine)
i noticed the signal strength was really low two days ago, i thought it was my area having service outage. (called and confirmed) I had my girlfriend's Nexus One AT&T version side by side she's getting full bars.
now the phone will show Emergency Call Only all the time, sometimes even with signal, i wont be able to use the data connection (it's show H, but cant even load google.com with the browser)
Diagnostics that i had done:
unroot with generic WWE rom with goldcard (since the telstra rom that people posted on here have 0.75 bootloader and mine is 0.8 so i can only use 1.21 generic WWE rom)
root again with R5 method
update radio
install MCR 3.1 again
replaced my sim card at AT&T store just to make sure
called AT&T to inquire about service outage
none of them works, now i'm stuck with a phone that doesnt make phone calls and data connection.
did i do anything wrong that mess up the radio of the phone? are these rooting guide and custom rom don't support 8183?
please help me! i really like this phone and it's such a waste to let it sit there
best regards,
ted
The emergency calls only thing is usually associated with a sim problem - like invalid sim, unactivated sim etc.
Have you paid your account?
thanks for the advise
yes i did...same thing happened, sometimes when i get signal, i cant seem to use data connection...cant even make phone calls...if im lucky i can make 1 out of 10 times..
i suspected the sim card problem, that's why i went to AT&T store for a replacement.
Solved
I had the same problem, I also have the A8183
To solve it, I went fastboot mode with USB plugged.
then on Android SDK, I did :
./fastboot-mac enableqxdm 0
./fastboot-mac oem boot
just fastboot for pc
and the phone reboot, turn it off and insert your SIM.
I knew it was fix first boot because sdcard was now mountable.
Then SIM was recognized.
But then I have USB problem in recovery, I think I'll need to flash the misc partition.

What you are describing is the fix for the usb brick issue. This is not the problem here.
To me this sounds like a faulty handset, as all the software fix options seem to have been done. I'm no expert though!
what is fastboot-mac
im using windows xp with androidsdk tools
i have fastboot command...how do i type that?

You can give the commands a go, but I doubt they will help with this. Have a look at the threads on usb brick.

tried the first command, it says "waiting for device"...no response from phone and command prompt at all
hey guys, keep the opinions coming...thanks in advance!
Try flashing to a different compatible radio version as the version you currently have may be causing the poor reception/signal strength issues.

Hmmmm - the rooting process does not affect the A8183 - cos that's what I've got and it works fine. Maybe try and flash the Telstra ROM? That's the one that would have come with the phone in the first place. Who knows, that might reset something? Probably a long shot but you sound desperate!
You can get that ROM in the ROM sticky in this topic.
Now i have 0.80 bootloader it wont let me install the telstra rom since bootloader version being different (0.75)
any idea how i can override that?
After the rooting process when i first got the phone everything was working fine til two days ago

you could try this: http://android.modaco.com/content/h...-com/310186/mcr-telstra-8183-mod-version-3-5/
I think that will work with 0.80 bootloader.
I guess it's not easy to take the device for repair as I'm tippin you got it through eBay or similar, and HTC in the US probably won't support the warranty.
I believe that i had sort of the same issue as you are describing, sometimes my 3G connection died, and there was nothing i could do too get it back, and it sometimes failed to make a connection when i tried to make calls with full coverage.
I don't know how i got the problem, because the phone has been fine since i rooted it 1 week ago.
I decided to go back to the latest radio update I had before I rooted, and now it works fine again.
I used 32.34.00.28U_4.05.00.30_2 from the stock HTC radios thread. (new users not able to post links)
Hope this solves your issue as well, I have an unbraded Desire A8181.

im going to give the radio you mentioned a try...would u mind telling me where are you located and what network provider are you with?
Tried that radio already now it shows signal but the behaviors are the same, feels like its trying to establish connection but got stuck on upload (not sure if thats the case since only the up arrow stay lit but not the other one)
@teddyonair: did u drop down ur mobile by any chance ??? might be some hardware disconnection inside is giving u this trouble i guess.... otherwise with so many software reflashing & modding,ur mobile should have been working by now....
u better get a professional help either from the htc or from someone who deals with htc repairs.... this is my sincere advice if u wish to listen to me.... hope u have not screwed up ur mobile.... might be a hardware problem... just try this once... ok ????
i've managed to unroot the phone with telstra shipped rom. phone has been acting the same way.
so im not sure if it's the hardware issue. anybody has experience how to send the phone back to Telstra Australia for repair?
thanks!
It sounds to me like you may have a faulty antenna in your phone
rooted mine my bros and bros girlfriends desires...
all went fine, no problems.
then my bros girlfriends started doing this thing and would'nt connect to wifi...it says turning on then error.
i thought ok, its an old rom version updated to the latest along with the latest radio 5.20 (or whatever it is ) and still the same....
ok...must be the rom...tried opendesire, which is working perfect on my phone and its still not working....
so to shortlist the problem is when i try connect to wifi it says turning on...then error...and wont even turn on...
definately not the rom.
definitely not the radio.
anyone got any ideas?
i tried to flash back to stock RUU but it would not let me "update" it with an HTC ruu a europe RUU and even a TMO UK ruu....
just kept saying cant update....
so anyone got any suggestions?
thanks!!
The same problem with me. I flash several ROMs, but no change. I think it's hardware fault.
Full wipe before flashing new roms? Have you tried a FroYo sense rom?
Sent from my HTC Desire
Now i use office 2.2 ROM, the same problem.
ye wiped and everything.
i cant even flash a RUU package which is gay!!
ill try a few other things and see if i can get it to work....and then maybe just send it back for repair or something.
I seem to have the same issue did anyone have any luck?
Just to give more background to me issue:
I've come up against a weird bug\issue\failure.
I've been running Leedriod ROM for a while with very very few issues. I upgraded to 2.0c over the weekend & everything was working fine.
This morning however neither my wifi or bluetooth is work.
Wifi tries to start but I simply get "Error" in Setting-->Wirless & Network-->Wi-Fi
My bluetooth has also stop working.
I'm not sure if this is related to the Leedroid ROM or potentially a hardware failure...
I have gone back to 1.9 (last know good backup) & I've done a complete fresh wipe & install of 2.0c. None of which I have had any luck with. I've also trawled the web and forums but nothing similar is popping up....
Any help or advice much appreciated...

Didn't my advice in another thread work?
It sounds like you guys have what's called a usb-bricked phone.

Sorry, mate...somewhere in my brain I thought I have replied to you. I tried the USB Brick Fix you suggested but no luck....
I'm beginning to think it's a hardware fail....
Normally means you didn't update with the gold card in the phone - you need this for ALL updates on previously branded phones...
What exactly is a USB brick? Does it brick the phone or just stop the USB from being able to update the phone?

Hey, I have much the same issue, I've tried a whole lot of ROMs and none of them seem to make the wifi work.
As soon as I revert back to the original installation it's working as expected, but whenever the phone is flashed (with the updated radio too), wifi stops.
As far as I can tell, Bluetooth, GPS and 3G are fine, but wifi tries to connect states that it's "Acquiring IP Address" and then disconnects and starts the cycle again.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Do you use the gold card when updating?

Hey, no worries!
Your symptoms definitely suggest your phone is "usb-bricked". What method did you try?
This is the best (and easiest): http://android.modaco.com/content/h...com/309939/usb-brick-rickrolled-b0rked-fixed/
I followed it myself with success some time ago.
If your phone is no longer rooted, you will need to root it. Else start with step 2.

I've never used my gold card when updating my branded Vodafone Desire.
I only used the gold card for initially rooting my Desire!

Sometimes when a update/flash goes wrong the Desire going in to a low level debugging mode, which we refer to as a "usb-bricked Desire".
You will observe the following symptoms:
* FM Radio Malfunction.
* Bluetooth Malfunction.
* Charging doesn't start immediately.
* Radio Malfunction.
* SD Card Malfunction.
* Unable to connect your phone using USB when booted into Android.
* Unable to connect your phone using USB in Custom/Pushed Recovery.
...other than this, the phone will work as expected.
So the WiFi problem is something different. I was directing my reply directly at IEArmand because we were chatting on a different thread.

Thanks for the info, was just curious as my Desire, although now fully updated, didn't seem to like the latest RRU update file and couldn't be connected via USB. It's weird as disk mode and sync still work completely fine and it updated fine via OTA.

Ok this is weird.....
Woke up this morning and found my Wifi and Bluetooth functions have returned!! I did not try anything last night so I'm at a loss to know what has fixed it.Functions did not return right after USB Brick fix but who knows...
Not much help to folk with this issue I'm afraid..

Hey, I rooted my phone using the Unrevoked method, I didn't think I needed a Gold Card to complete this.
Maybe I read this incorrectly. Can I just repeat the process with the GC?
And...does the GC help with Rooting or Flashing?
Thanks.
That's rooting, you don't need a gold card for that. If you want to flash a generic ROM onto your branded Desire you'll need a gold card. If you want to flash a custom ROM, you just need to use a custom recovery (which you'll have thanks to unrEVOked)
As for JustinTrouble not needing one, I'm guessing it's just Orange users having issues then as most people need the gold card to stop the WiFi issue rearing its head
I've done a lot of searching around here and couldn't find anything that could get my WiFi working again. A while back I was following a tutorial that would let me edit my network bands, but I could never get it to work.. Shortly after I noticed my WiFi stopped working. I'm not sure if it's a coincidence or not. Anyways, I've tried everything. I've used stock RUU's to flash it back to stock (erasing everything), installed different ROMs, Kernels, etc. I've noticed the WiFi will work shortly after a fresh install but after a bit it just stops. Turning it on will give a WiFi error followed by "settings has stopped working". I've even opened up my phone and made sure the antennas were connected correctly but that didn't do anything. My Bluetooth works just fine though!
I'm s-off and rooted
Helped one of my friend - installed latest firmware update, but he has phone without root and locked bootloader + s
-on
Where can I find the firmware update?
Did you try using a different SSID ?
Or did you verify the RUU flashes clean ?
Maybe your WiFi Chip is broken
