I don't know what I did wrong. After downloading a moddet statusbar vor Oxygen 0.2 I wanted to reboot into recovery and it took me very long. It freezed. After pulling the battery and setting it back in and pushing the power button my desire vibrated in 3 short intervals.
Since that I can't boot into the os or into recovery. Only thing that is working is the bootloader and the fastboot.
First thing I tryed is to flash (with fastboot) a new recovery but nothing changed. still it freezes at the splash screen.
I also downloaded official o2 rom from their homepage. But I think they want me to run the .exe while in android. A error comes up and tells me that it can't find a phone.
official htc roms don't work too. one told me that I'm not allowed to install this particular rom and an other official rom keeps exiting with error code: 170 telling me that the usb connection couldn't be established or something like this.
is there something else I can try?
I googled and searched the board. Tryed to boot into recovery without microSD card too but still no success.
help
Unpack the Rom and get the image out of the file...
Rename it to pb99img.zip dump only that on the root of your sdcard and boot into hboot .
T i d y .
Or just look on shiped roms for an 02 pb99img.zip and download then rename
T i d y .
Thank you so much. I already tryed this with 3 different pb99img images and had always the same error (CID). One of them was a o2 uk rom. So I gave up on trying it this way. But I didn't know that it could be extracted from every rom.
Now I think every thing is working again. Thank you.
Oh well ... I destroyed it again. Like I said I was able to install official o2 rom and everything was working again. After that I wanted to root it with unrevoked 3.21 but it freezed at "waiting for reboot". So I had to pull the battery once again.
But now I can't even enter bootloader. Only a screen pops up with htc in the middle and with four ! in every corner of the display.
Tryed to install official o2 rom again. It can find it and starts installing but at the end of the installation it stops with an error:
error [110]: error while opening data. Tryed it 3 times but always the same.
This might work for you
WAIT, BEFORE YOU START, CREATE A GOLDCARD. IT IS VERY NECESSARY. THINGS WILL GO WRONG IF YOU DONT.
EDIT: YOU MUST BE ABLE TO BOOT GO TO THE BOOTLOADER MENU.
Firstly, download this file. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13240777/Desire Downgrade.ZIP
Extract the files.
Run the win-down.bat file.
Follow on screen instructions.
After the process is completed, Head to the root of your SD card and check if there is a file named P99***IMG (FORGOT THE EXACT NAME BUT IT SHOULD BE SOMETHING LIKE THIS) there should be one.
Secondly, disconnect your phone and turn it off.
After that boot up your phone while pressing the volume down button and the power button.
The bootloader should be checking for files after awhile and once it found the file that is supposed to be in the root of your sd card, press the volume up button (NOT EXACTLY SURE, SHOULD BE THE ONE THAT SAYS YES AND CONTINUE)
It should be writing files to your phone. and replaces everything. E.G: HBOOT, RECOVERY,RADIO and such.
It should be writing files successfully and then it would ask you to reboot. Continue with the reboot and you should be having your Desire back to stock. Perfect.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THERE ARE RISKS INVOLVED LIKE FAILURE OF WRITING TO THE HBOOT. PLEASE REMEMBER TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS. MAINLY, DO NOT BLAME ME FOR ANYTHING THAT GOES WRONG.
FINALLY, YOU SHOULD BE READING EVERYTHING UP TO HERE AND THAT YOU MUST HAVE A GOLDCARD (A GOLD SD CARD)
Hope this helps you and please ask if you have further questions. PM me if the questions cannot be answered here. Good Luck
You have to have a working Goldcard and be able to access HBOOT to do the above
Nevermind.
I send it to o2. Since I was able to install the official RUU once I think they will take care of it.
What happend is:
For some reason I wasn't able to boot my phone. Recovery wasn't working too. Only thing that was working was Bootloader and Fastboot.
Just to sum up what I tryed:
Installing new recovery didn't help. I was able to install official o2 RUU and everything was working. But I lost my root. I think it had HBoot 0.930001
So I wanted to root it again with unrevoked 3.21
It started well and rebootet one or two times. But at the thirt reboot attempt it juft freezed and nothing was happening. I don't know what I did wrong?
is unrevoked 3.21 really able to root a phone with hboot 0.930001?
As I said ... if faild and after that I couldn't even enter Bootloader or Fastboot.
So I send it to o2 and hope they fix it.
But now I am really scared to root it again. If it fails again ... what will they think if I send it after 3 days again to them.

Hi,
I have the same problem and getting pretty desperate now.
Only FASTBOOT and BOOTLOADER works.
I have clockwork recovery installed but it wont boot into recovery. It just gets stuck on the white boot screen.
I can't copy PB99IMG.zip or any other zip file because I can't access the phone through usb. I tried:
adb push PBIMG99.zip /
error: device not found
Is my phone useless now? As good as a brick?
try pack it in some tolietpaper put it in to the freezer fore 5 min an try again

janielsen's idea seems crazy but give it a try..
put it in the freezer for few minutes then take it out
and then try to get into recovery mode..
you'll be able to do that
if you see a triangle with ! mark at the center that means it's a serious hardware issue and we can't do anything about that you have to send it to htc service center
Ha, funnily enough I did try the freezer thing but that didn't work either. What did work was booting into fast boot, connecting the usb and flashing with an official RUU in windows.
The phone is still stuffed!!!
It now has an official htc rom, no root, no mods, nothing... just stock!
But whenever it has to do a bit more processing like viewing a complex web page with flash, playing a game, downloading from the market it resets itself. Why?
I am starting to think it's a hardware problem but I need confirmation. I tried different roms but I get the same result. Has anyone has the same experience???
well i have sent my phone in fore repare the trick whit the freezer is only so u can unroot it so they cant see that it has bien rooted
the problem is that the cpu is getting to hot
Hey janielsen,
I had a feeling it was a hardware problem, because it only resets when it's doing a lot of processing.
But what can they do? Replace the CPU? Did they say how much it costs?
I bought my phone second hand so I don't have warranty.
yes u have warrenty because htc can see by the imei when the garanty is running out
they will replace the mainboard

If you can get into the bootloader screen now, just drop the pc36img.zip file into the root of your SD card and the boot loader should read it automatically when you load it. Make sure you don't name it pc36img.zip.zip by mistake. You'd be surprised how often it happens.
The incredible will go into hboot but the recovery, factory reset, clear storage all send it into a boot loop. It is S-off and should have cwm (the root was done by unrevoked) but I cant get it into recovery mode to fix the problem. the up vol + power will cause it to vibrate 3 times but the screen stays black.
I am use to samsung phones where I can just odin it back to stock but have little experience with Htc. Any help on reverting it back to stock or just help me get into recovery so i can flash a custom rom would be great. thanks
btw
hboot is .92
Radio 2.15.00.07.28
If you are s-off I would first try reflashing cwm thru hboot as a PB31IMG.zip
Here is the CWM 5.0.2.0 PB31IMG.zip
http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/CWM_5.0.2.0/PB31IMG.zip
Just place it on the root of your sd and then boot into hboot (hold vol down and power) it should find the file and prompt you to press vol up to install. If that works then install the su binary found below thru recovery.
http://dinc.does-it.net/SuperUser/SuperUser_3.0.7.zip
thanks for the quick reply after updating with the PB3 file it still wont go into recovery mode, just the boot loop. any other ideas?
I would say your next step would be to do an ruu of froyo 2.2 wich you can fiNd here http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/3.26.605.1/PB31IMG.zip and if that dosent work I would try an ruu exe with your pc.
Thanks for your quick response, this phone is wack! I ran the ruu exe from my pc it did its thing and successfully updated the Rom but to my surprise when it rebooted it was stuck in a boot loop!
I had a similar problem a few days ago, and the only solution I found was to update CWM through RomManager. I'm thinking that the problem may have been caused by RomManager in the first place, which is why this is the only method that worked for getting CWM working.
You could try flashing an older version of cwm like 3.0.0.8 thru hboot. Mabey cwm 5 is whats causing your troubles. Or try flashing amon ra recovery.
Cwm 3.0.0.8

Can you get into recovery yet or are the hboot options still not working?
Mabey your hboot got corrupted somehow you can try reflashing it.
hboot 0.92
http://dinc.does-it.net/Hboots/Hboot_0.92/PB31IMG.zip
Then try flashing a recovery again and see if you can get into it.
None of the hboot options work. I have flashed all the files you have given me. and I have done the ruu exe of both froyo and gingerbread. they all say they have completed successfully but nothing has fixed the problem. Still cant get into recovery and it wont but up at all. Im not sure what else it could be
Im not sure then if none of those options work im at a loss of what else you could do. Mabey someone with more experince can chime in with some other options. Have you tried reformating your sdcard or using a different one? Thats the only other thing I can think of.

When you say "flashing" are you literally flashing these .zip files in CWM or are you renaming these files to PB31IMG.zip and installing thru HBOOT? There is a difference between the two.

ya i guess not flashing just running the PB31 file in hboot. I think im done working with it though. Im doing it for some guy who tried flashing it from verizon to another carrier but it didnt work and it only goes into hboot now. but thanks for all your help especially cmlusco. I'm still open for ideas but It's not going to my priority anymore. I learned a lot about htc phones if anything

So the OP is S Off and can't flash the PB CWM file in HBOOT? Ccould be a bad file too. Make are you are checking md 5s

He can flash any PB31IMG file sucessfully but the phone will not boot and selecting any of the options in hboot leads him to a splash bootloop, and requires a battery pull. It's all above.

I have flashed the pb CWM file no luck and also the other recovery (cant remember the name)
I also tried flashing th pb hboot file no luck
I flashed the pb ruu froyo no luck and also gb no luck
i then tried doing it through my computer using stock froyo exe and also a gb one with no luck (In every case the phone said it was "successful" in updating the roms and/or the recoverys)
But nothing ever changes it will only boot into hboot but nothing works in the hboot everything just sends it into a boot loop on the white htc screen

Thats probably the issue it was attempted to be switched to another carrier wich is a fairly complicated process. He may have changed some settings below rom level that cant be fixed by flashing an ruu. Im not sure if there is a fix with qpst or not but if there is I have no clue how to do it.
Been seeing some odd issues lately. I had a problem, and it would just go to a black screen and vibrate five times.
If the USB was plugged in to my PC, it would boot and operate fine, as soon as I unplugged it, it would crash again.
Check this out, it may be related.

I've been having almost this exact problem and have been working on it since 5:30 last night. As my phone is also my modem, I am currently at the library on wifi... FML.
The only difference is that I did not try to switch carriers, I was just using my phone normally and then yesterday morning I had a bunch of FCs, and yesterday evenings began the boot loops when I unlocked to make a phone call, again, FML.
The timing is very bad, only about two weeks till my new-every-two. Please help, I need my phone and don't really have the money to spare for a new one.
Thanks in advance.

Same prob
Have you had any luck? I'm in the same boat, I've tried just about everything... I sold my phone to someone and they tried installing muiu rom and it quit working for them and they sent it back to me... And now I just want to get it working so I can use it and sell my iPhone and get a new android!! I hate the iPhone.
What exactly were you trying to achieve switching RUU's?
did you make sure it was for phones that were not rooted?
I havent had any luck and well I tried the Ruu that it wasnt rooted and it went all the way but the same thing keeps on happening
I am having this issue as well, about 12 hours after switching roms to cm9 nightly (unofficial) from the roms section, everything was working just fine, all was well. I had spent some time getting the rom set back up the way i like it, and had finished, while waiting in line at a restaurant I opened a bookmark from ics browser plus app and the phone rebooted itself. it just loops through the white screen, goes black, and then back to the white screen. I can get to hboot, but not to recovery, selecting recovery just goes back to the loop. I tried clearing user data via hboot, I tried reinstalling recovery (both amon-ra and twrp). the recovery installs ok according to the screen, but then trying to go back to recovery causes the loop to return. I do not know what else to try. (in my case, the phone does still show s-off and always has throughout the problems)
Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.....

You're gona ned to get to s-off sot hat adb and mount the system if needed. Since you have the 2.16 bootloader, head over to revolutionary.io to get to rooting tools.
UPDATE
After trying different things now my HBOOT says 2.18.0001
Radio 2.15.00.12.19 and at the top it says unlocked, how can I S-off if i cant go inside the phone?
Now you're S-Off, flash a recovery and see if you can into Recovery and flash a ROM.
BTW, what ROM were you using when this started?

It seems like you might have a bad SD card. Do you have any spare SDs lying around that you could try out? by the way have you been trying to flash these updates through recovery, because they are designed to be flashed in hboot. I thought you were using hboot to flash based on the language used but from the picture you loaded it looks like stock recovery if I am correct. If you have been trying to flash these files through recovery try again using hboot but I suspect you were doing it right the first time. If that is the case, I would do like I suggested above and try using an alternate sd card. I can't promise that will fix the problem but based on the fact that recovery is unable to mount /sdcard it seems like it is a hardware problem.
no, i flashed trough hboot and device did not boot
after that i tried to do hardreset in recovery
i will try another card, i have 64gb on me right now, dont know if it will work :laugh:
