Hello all,
I'm trying to remove the bootsound for my Desire and so followed the instructions in thread 675580, page 3 (can't post direct URL because I'm a new user)
I replied there saying it does not work but after rereading carefully, I think it's because I tried the command while not being in recovery mode.
I then went around and read a few threads to figure out how to enter this mode. I thus followed the instructions in thread 6710092, reply number 4 in the part about "How to flash ROM".
I can get up to step 6 just fine. I even have the black screen with red triangle showing up. I then try the next step, that is running "recovery-windows.bat"
Unfortunately, adb-nilezon says it did not find any device and so errors out in the three steps inside the batch file.
The only option that I was able to find to get back the phone in a workable state was to remove the battery.
I noticed a behavior of the phone that is not mentioned in the above thread, so maybe I did not do something right.
In Step 5, right after I plug the desire to the PC, Windows says it has found a new device and complains it could not find the driver. I tried to have it search for drivers, but it could not find anything and thus aborted the install.
Along with this, in step 6, right after I press the power button to select Recovery, the phone seems to "reboot" as it shows the white HTC boot screen and it vibrates.
Is it possible that I am missing a part of the correct install?
I read all replies to the mentioned tutorial thread, some users have the same problem so I created a Gold card, which I believe I did right. But this did not change my situation.
When not in recovery mode, I'm able to use USB Debugging to connect to the phone and send my test applications via adb just fine.
Many thanks for your time and patience

Not sure if you do or not but do you need to have Htc Sync installed for the drivers?
I do have HTC Sync installed
Are you rooted? You need root to do this. If you are then why not use fake flash or unrevoked to enter recovery.
No I'm not, but the message in thread 675580 says there is no need for it, hence my tries here.
I'd rather not root my device if I don't have to, for the time being that is.

Recovery-windows.bat won't work unless you are rooted. The screen with the red triangle isn't actually recovery mode. The .bat file you would run pushes the recovery to the phone.
If you are not going to root, then you can get an app from the market that puts your phone on silent as you switch it off, and then back to normal when it's booted. This disables the boot sound. It's called silent boot I think.
Well then, I'm missing something from the other thread (675580) as I can't get the command to work.
I'll wait over here for any comments.
Thanks

Ok so, this is my first android phone and after being prompted to install the 2.2 update on my European htc desire, i downloaded and started it installing. It gets to about 23% and says process system unavailible and after reading what people said i cleared the phone and tried to install the update manually from the SD card. This didn't work

how did you create a blank goldcard, i can't access my SD card on my phone while it's in the phone so how did you do it
Do you have a WIFI connection? I do, and did the OTA 2.2 upgrade over WiFi with no problems, on my Unbranded European HTC Desire.
If youre phone won't boot properly, there are a few answers; 1) Return in to HTC, they're getit working and back to you, 2) Return it to th place of purchase, 3) Root/reflash (but sounds like it might not be an option).

When I got in touch with HTC they wanted £50 to do a reflash, falsely accusing me of rooting my device..
was that 50$ to send it to them? or can they do it without having it there. Because if THEIR update screwed up my phone i don't see why i should have to pay for a fix
maybe a silly question but did you try a factory reset?

Tell me about it, so thankful I managed to fix it myself!
It sounds like you are alll applying an OTA update for the standard ROM to what was a branded device. There are lots of explanations as to how to fix this if this is the case
In summary
Download update from mentioned here
Copy this to root of your goldcard and rename to update.zip
Turn off phone
Turn on holding down vol down
Select Bootloader then Recovery (an image of device should appear with exclamation mark over)
In menu (sorry forgot how you get in, if it does not appear then try power+vol down or power + back). From there choose apply update.zip
Wait while update applied
After update select reboot and wait for device to boot

I've just tried this again, installation looked like it went through ok, rebooted and relaoded into sense, then it shows me a status bar counting, normally this gets to about 10% then says ?Sorry process system is not responing, so i can either click wait or force close, then in continues upto about 97% then reboots and reloads only to load a white screen showing htc and continues counting in percentages, gets to about 15% then says force close, then onto about 91% then reboots this goes on for a while until it just shows me a sorta bricked phone with no wifi, gsm or any real functionailty and it continues to reboot every 5 mins, back to where I started showing 2.2 as installed
One strange thing I have noticed is that my CID is
CID: 00000000000000000049E917D100A69E
Reversing CID
CID: 00A600D117E949000000000000000000
Can't find update.zip on SD card during recovery
Tried all this, thanks. Goldcard created using Gold Card Tool 0.0.5 (awesome job Klutsh) . I get the error message:
"E:failed to open /sdcard/update.zip (No such file or directory)" even though it is in the root dir when I look at the card on my PC.
Should it be in a directory called /sdcard ?

I had to format the card in a card reader in my PC, then use the Gold Card Creator mentioned elsewhere in the thread. You have to install HTC Sync because enough drivers are in there to at least allow the apps to 'see' the card at physical level, even if the bricked Android doesn't. Set the phone to USB debug mode in Settings/Applications - the phone stays 'on' long enough between reboots to do that and get a CID out of it! Then Gold Card Creator works well enough to get the CID from the SD.
I'm trying this again with a 2GB card to see if makes any difference.
Check folder settings when using windows

Quick update to this. Make sure you have extensions of known file types SHOWING in your folder settings. I was naming the file update.zip.zip!!
Thanks to ALL in this forum for get apps and assistance. I unbricked my phone tonight thanks to you all
well i phoned the shop here in australia that i bought it from and they said they've had alot of desires being returned because they've been bricked by the update and to just send it back and they'll fix it and update to 2.2 for me
OK, so I have found a few guides that try to resolve this, but as yet nothing that completely got me where I need to be.
The background:
I have a UK T-mobile HTC Desire (Bravo) with HBOOT 0.93.0001, with an SLCD screen, with the latest OTA updates and now running MIUI ROM 1.5.13.
The problem:
Condensation under the screen meant that I needed to send back under warranty. To do this I needed to restore my phone to stock T-Mobile ROM.
I got hold of a stock T-Mobile RUU (available at Shipped Roms), tried to run this but got an error as the version of my current ROM and HBOOT was newer than what I was trying to put on the phone.
I did a bit more digging and realised that I was doing a few things wrong, did not have goldcard and realised that because I was on HBOOT 0.93 this would not work. Therefore I needed to downgrade HBOOT (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256). This guide will put an unbranded RUU on the phone if followed completely, but obviously I needed a T-mo branded version and so used the RUU mentioned above.
This would prove to be my mistake.
This updated my phone to HBOOT 0.80 which unfortunately does not play nice with the SLCD screen.
Net result: my phone turned on (could feel the vibration when turning phone on).
Here is how I solved it....
The disclaimer:
This worked for me, it may not work for you ... etc etc .. I'm not responsible, etc etc.
OK, so to recap - I had:
- Created a gold card (TIP: always create a gold card by accessing your microSD in your phone over USB, I tried it in a card reader and it does not work properly)
- Downgraded to HBOOT 0.80 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256)
- Ran a T-Mobile Stock RUU (available at Shipped Roms)
The next steps:
- Go and get the latest T-Mobile OTA update (again, from Shipped Roms)
- Get your gold card (or create if required. Remember this must be done with the SD card in a phone, can be a different phone but must be your goldcard image)
- Rename the OTA update to update.zip and copy to root of SD card
You know need to boot in to recovery and run update.zip. All of this will be without the screen, so you need to follow the exact steps and make sure you wait where told - wait longer if in any doubt
- turn the phone off (battery out is sure fire way)
- Hold volume down (and keep held), press and release power whilst keeping volume held down (3-4 seconds)
- Now in HBOOT menu
- Wait 20 seconds
- Volume down * 1, press power button (phone go in to recovery)
- Wait for 30 seconds (reading SD card)
- Hold volume up and press power (go in to Android system recovery)
- Volume down *1, press power button (select "Apply sdcard:update.zip")
- Wait for 15 minutes (the update.zip on SD card is being read and applied)
- Press power *1 to reboot system
- After reboot you must wait a while and then you will see some green graphics on the screen... just wait it out
- You should then see the little pink circle and you can be happy
You will need to change language as the phone starts in German or Turkish, once done you will need to reboot to get everything completely back to English (some things such as vmail seemed to stick until reboot)
I hope this helps for anyone that was also terrified that they had broken their phone!!
There are also several methods for getting the phone in to USB debugging as it allows you to do much more with the phone and has some of it's own options to get you out of this mess. Obviously this requires going blind, these are the steps I went through:
- Turn off phone
- Turn on phone
- Wait until fully booted
- Press power and slide finger down to unlock
- Press and hold finger on screen until vibrate to verify you unlocked the screen
- Press back
- Menu
- Right 3 times, Down 1, click (Settings menu)
- Up *15 (to get to top of menu), down *10, click (Applications menu)
- Down * 3, click (Development menu)
- Click (USB debugging)
- Click (Confirm)
Hope this helps all!!
Cheers,
Pete
have the same issue with my htc desire but the problem is i have a usb brick so can't create a gold card.any help?
Hello!
Thanks for your guide. But for me it was a little different.
About my phone: HTC Desire with SLCD and T-Mobile Branding. S-Off via Alpharev
Preparing: Made a Goldcard out of my SD-Card with only one partition
Step 1: Downgrade HBOOT to original version (bravo_downgrade.img). Only necessary if you installed a Alpharev HBOOT.
Step 2: Downgrade the phone to Android 2.1 like here
Step 3: Install T-Mobile RUU. I used "RUU_Bravo_Froyo_TMO_AT_2.12.112.1_Radio_32.46.00.32U_5.10.05.17_2_release_143754_signed.exe", you can find it at shipped-roms.com.
Result: No Black Screen, Downgraded Phone with original T-Mobile ROM.
I had problems with the RUU. So I started the RUU and found in the Temp-Folder the rom.zip. I renamed it to PB99IMG.zip, copied it on the SD and installed the rom in the Bootloader.
Cheers

So, figured I'd attempt to root the thing today via the AAHK on my locked DHD. According to the effen manual, I won't need to gold card it beforehand either.
I went through the process, and I was told that the ROM that I had installed (2.5.3? Sense 3.0) had to be downgraded, so I went ahead with it. After downgrading, I was brought to an unresponsive bootloader. Being patient enough, I let it sit while I watched a movie, yet nothing happened after. I took out the battery and restarted it, and all I got was the Hutchinson 3G (my carrier) logo and it just stops there.
When I try booting in recovery mode to get to the bootloader, it does so, but it hangs.
After enough tinkering, I noticed the bootloader was only responsive once I rebooted without the memory card inserted. The phone itself is still inaccessible as it just stops at the 3G logo.
So far, I've tried to restore it through an RUU, but since it's still (I assume) carrier locked, I have to find the ROM that shipped with it. Unfortunately, I can't find a ROM that caters to Hutchinson 3G ROI (Ireland), so right now I'm downloading a UK version of it to see if it works. Apart from that, any recommendations on what I could do next?
Thanks :3
people are gonna need a little more info eg. what does it say on the boot screen s-off etc
what rom your trying to flash, formatted sd-card or not, possibly a corrupted download
AAHK does the business well, but can baulk at the slightest thing.
fairly new to some of this myself, but learning, my DHD took 4 attempts to finally do now on JT R4
Oh, mmkay:
ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-0.85.0024
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.09.04.11_M2
eMMC-boot
Apr 12 2011, 0:55:45
-----------------------------
Anything else I should include up there?
As for the ROM, I wasn't trying to flash anything bar the one that was downloaded through the AAHK client itself during the downgrade process.
After more tinkering, I've decided to leave it till today afternoon. Though I've made a few observations; so far
- The bootloader works fine when I turn it on WITHOUT the memory card
- The phone gets detected under the name "Android 1.0" when plugged in via USB both in hboot and fastboot. The fact that it gets detected I'll assume is a good thing
- Which leads to the second bit; it can be restored, since I've tried an Asian DHD ROM. It didn't complete because I was apparently supposed to find the appropriate ROM for it, which I assume is the H3G ROI version of it
- Aaand, the ROM still won't load up, and gets stuck at the H3G boot logo.
- According to the effen manual, it could be that my SD card was corrupt, so now my intention is just to merely restore it until I can actually afford to attain another memory card, which will be in a good few weeks and I don't wanna be smartphone-less for that period of time. But the only problem is; how?
if memory serves there isnt a rom in AAHK. the zip you intend using should copied be on your sdcard and initiated via recovery - vol down and on button. you should also be "s" off - did it offer to downgrade first [if needed]
from the manual
Insert the SDCard into the phone
Boot the phone
Turn on USB Debugging (Yes, plug it IN - use original cable plugged directly into the system board.)
IMPORTANT: Turn phone to charge-only mode. The phone stays in charge-only mode throughout this entire process. To make sure of this, check the default (menu > settings > connect to PC > charge only)
Win7/Vista: Right click on hack-ace.cmd and start as administrator (This will start the tool and bring you to the main menu)
option - 1
Install Clockworkmod
Clockworkmod version 5.0.2.7 -- yes
How to flash a custom ROM with ClockworkMod Recovery
Place the zipfile to be flashed on the sdcard. Do NOT unzip it.
Froyo disable Fast Boot: Menu > Settings > Applications > uncheck fast boot
Gingerbread disable Fast Boot: Menu > Settings > Power Options > uncheck fast boot
Turn phone off, no usb connected
Hold down vol- button, then press power to start, keep holding the vol- down button until Hboot menu shows up
Use the vol- down button to scroll down to recovery after some file checks are done (they will flash by quickly)
Press power to start recovery
Use vol down button to navigate, and the capacitive search button (bottom row of buttons, far right) to select
NOT VERY OPTIONAL/STRONGLY RECOMMENDED: If recommended by rom author or if flashing over another rom type (ex: cyanogenmod over anything else), wipe data/factory reset in Clockworkmod Recovery
Install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard > select zipfile > Yes - (name of zipfile)
Repeat choose zip from sdcard for any add ons (gapps, themes, kernels, etc)
Press back button when flashing is complete until "reboot system now" is at the top of the screen.
Press power to reboot the system.
If desired, return the fast boot setting to ON in settings. (See above)
once yu crack it you'll see where you were going wrong
radio flashing is the easiest way to brick if you dont know exactly what your doing 99.9% of other stuff is recoverable
restoration is a more complicated path than rooting for noobs
I'm aware that there's no ROM included with the AAHK, I'm referring to the one that was downloaded THROUGH the AAHK when it said I'm gonna have to downgrade it beforehand.
And with reference to hboot, that's where another problem lies; my memory card is the one causing hboot to freeze. Hence, removing it prior to booting is the only way to get to it.
can you rerun AAHK and make a goldcard during setup and go that route -- wont help i know but being as its still "s"on you can return under warranty aslong as you dont send sim and sd-card tell them it wont go past h-boot.
if you have a card reader then format the card to make sure its clean, the drag and drop the required files on it - i have a lappy solely for this job with AV etc permanently turned off
Well, I'll rerun AAHK when I can find the SD card adapter, but since I've only recently moved house, it's gonna be near impossible until I get time off to unpack, which, till then, I'm still gonna need a functioning phone, so right now, I'm just looking for ways to return it to stock :3
i cant assist any further then as i've not yet RUU'd any devices as of yet.
hope you get it sorted
Thanks for trying anyways :3
I've been searching for an Irish RUU. Currently trying a UK version of it hoping it MIGHT just work. Anyone have more ideas?
Edit: Ok it didn't. Posted on the Three Ireland support boards trying to see if I can get an RUU
Hello people,
Background info what I did before problem arose:
I wanted to root my Desire Z, so I figured out what to do:
- downgrade android 2.3.3 to 2.2 using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912 ; option 4a didn't work, bootloader didn't see PC10IMG.zip while it was on the SD card in root folder. Option 4b did work luckily.
- root desire Z via http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...sion#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD and made it to superCID, simlock off and S-OFF
So now I got a working Desire Z with android 2.2
Wish I stopped there...
I decided to try out android 4.2.1:
- I installed rom using http://genius-tips.com/update-htc-desire-z-to-android-4-2-1-jelly-bean-cm10-1-custom-rom/
It worked. I now have an Desire Z with android 4.2.1. But it was somewhat slowish so I decided I wanted my gingerbread back:
- I tried to install roms but somehow it didn't work, I kept my 4.2.1
- I followed the same steps I did to downgrade to 2.2 as described above, and it worked.
So I got a working Desire Z with android 2.2
- using HTC software update (settings -> about telephone -> software update) I download and install update 1
- download and install update 2
From here it gets interesting for this topic:
- download and install update 3, which is android 2.3; and during the install, while I still have my usb cable connected from laptop to telephone, my laptop battery runs out and update on telephone somehow fails (WTF, it is in charge only mode when it is installing right? The battery was full, or full enough, the telephone downloaded the update itself to SD-card or internal memory, so I assumed there was no connection.)
But now the Desire Z doesn't boot any more, it stays on the htc logo, without the 'quietly brilliant'.
- I tried via bootloader reset to factory defaults: vibrate, htc logo, image of telephone with green arrows above and loader below with image of SD-card on the right of loader. But loader doesn't progress and after some time telephone resets and stays at htc logo.
- I tried recovery via bootloader: vibrate, htc logo, and image of telephone with red exclamation mark and red triangle.
- no connection via sdk/adt.
I also tried to boot CyanogenMod 7.1 from SD-card using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1572924 , but same result as above.
What can I do to save my Desire Z, other than replacing motherboard ?!
Please help...
The update failed being it was in the process of writing some firmware when you lost power, this tends to mean a partial update and a brick. The pc10img.zip you tried to flash before was not to be in any folder, so not a folder called root, rather no folder at all.
This may also be your salvation, maybe the only way of fixing, more info here

Thanks, I will try it out this afternoon.
To clarify:
In order to downgrade to android 2.2 I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912 in which is stated
I - 4a) Manual Downgrade
...
Desire Z: "PC10IMG.zip"

Place the zip file in the root of your sdcard.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What does this mean if I am not supposed to have this file on my SD-card ? [edit: Or did my previous post suggest I had a folder called 'root' on my SD-card in which I had the zip?]
Second thing to clarify:
When my telephone has battery AND it is connected to my laptop (charge only I assume) AND my telephone is updating firmware from the SD-card/internal memory of the telephone; why would the telephone lose power / fail installation at the moment my PC tries to shut itself off because of low battery. Or is there something wrong in my assumptions?
Yeah I misunderstood ya, I thought you had a folder named root, if you did don't,
I must have been reading too fast I also thought you were doing an ruu through the computer not an ota update which is what you were doing, if that's the case the power loss on computer shouldn't have mattered unless there is some weird deal that I don't know about when charging through PC.
Can you confirm what is written on bootloader screen, radio, SPL, etc?

Sure, I posted it on the topic you recommended me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37613472 to continue there.
Conclusion:
Format SD card in FAT32 if it wasn't yet, then bootloader can read images again and flash ROMs. Then telephone is unbricked
Thanks.
