Root/Rom Help Needed ASAP!!!

Here is my issue..I have been rooted since I got the phone and actually rooted both of my EVO's. Last week I decided to go back to Fresh Rom 1.0 and inadvertently flashed a new theme at the same time. Did not flash the ROM and then go back in and flash the theme. As a result, the phone went into a continual cycle of rebooting the loading screen ( for Fresh users you know it has the little guys and says FRESSSHHH). Well that happens over and over again.
The only option I have is to take battery out and go into the bootloader mode. MY problem is this:
* Once in bootloader mode, I can't reflash because when I go into the recovery mode, the recovery says " ADB server is out date" and scrolls thru a few lines an disappears. I've tried every thing suggested to me and still have not been able to fix that.
* Cannot access root of SD card because system doesn't recognize the phone is attached.
* Tried to load PC36IMG file on the card manually and that loaded but I can't get to the restart option. It finds the file but does not give me the restart commands.
I'm at wits end right now. I tried the OTA Recovery but since I cannot connect to the computer, it won't run either.
Please help......

Restore a nandroid.
RUU start over.

I tried to do that but the computer - htc sync won't recognize the phone so I can't RUU again. When I get to the end of the process it tells me either the phone isn't connected to the USB or the USB isn't connected to the computer.

You phone says the ADB server is out of date when you boot into recovery?
It sounds like you are not completely rooted.
You should be able to volume down and power on. Then choose recovery. From there you can restore a backup. That should also give you ADB access to the phone (if you are fully rooted)
If you are not fully rooted, and you have to run some bat file on your computer to get the phone into full recovery, you may be skrewed.

No, the computer says that when I go into recovery mode and have the black screen and red triangle on it. I then go to the computer and try and run the recovery file that I've been running as I've flashed 10-12 ROMS already. The CMD screen on the computer comes up as ADB Server is out of date...and another line or two scrolls by and then it disappears, never connecting to the phone and going into the next screen where I can wipe or flash from SD..etc..

Sounds like you did not complete step 2 of the root process. You should be able to enter recovery without the use of a computer.
Reboot your computer and try again, if you still get errors then I am out of tips.

Bootloader working but can't load recovery mode to restore ROM

Hi all,
Hope someone can help, I have a desire HD that has some issues.
Long story short the phone was acting up and was flashed with a non official ROM. It was working originally but after about a week it started acting up, with apps force closing, phone crashing altogether etc.
I am trying to get the phone back to a state that Vodafone in Australia will be able to warranty the phone in.
The current situation is that when the phone turns on, it'll load straight to the bootloader/hboot. Recovery mode does not work - it dumps you in to fastboot menu and fails to load.
System restore from boot menu does not work either, and there is no rom at all so USB debugging is a no go, and there appears to be no way to flash the ROM.
Any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Use adb / fastboot to push a new recovery to the phone (I hope you left USB debugging enabled).

Sadly no USB debugging doesn't seem to work. Makes the sound that it connects to the computer and that bootloader states its connected by usb however it doesn't seem to phone is connected. Any other ideas?

ei crystal!! has you tested with FASTBOOT COMMANDER? if you download it you can flash a new recovery from this tool... its intuitive...
you only must to download the tool

How did you check to see if adb shell can see the device?

Run an pb98.img from the bootlaoder

But this does depend on you having previously ticked USB Debugging option before you had all these problems (no way to check now without being able to boot the phone).
If this fails you may have to try the previous suggestion of putting a PD98IMG on your sdcard then going into fastboot on the phone.

Currently there is no Rom on the Phone. Just put PD98IMG.zip on the SD card which seems to be updating. Does it normally take a while to Update all the Sections?

Can take anything from 5 to 20+ minutes.

Seems to be taking ages to even get past [1]. Is that normal? Hasn't done anything. It says "Updating" yet I'm still yet to see it get past "[1] BOOTLOADER"

Just to confirm...
1. Turn phone off
2. Put PD98IMG file onto ROOT of sd card
3. Use vol- and power button to get to Fastboot
4. Scroll and select Bootloader (HBOOT)
(might automatically do last step when you boot phone)
Phone will show a message to say it is looking for the file then unpack it and install.

Confirmed dude. Doesn't seem to be doing much though. It has been stuck on "updating BOOTLOADER". It has trying to update it for more then 30mins now
It has a big list of 12 things it wants to update however it hasn't moved past the first file "BOOTLOADER" in over 30mins.

Did you confirm the MD5HASH of the file before putting it on the card?
Could you put a link to where you got the file from please?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003

Thank you.
Are you still connected to the PC? If so disconnect and try again.
Did you confirm the MD5HASH?
Have you got another SD card you can try? If not, reformat the current one and put the PD98IMG file on it again and try again.

The Device fails to even turn on now dude. Thanks anyway man

!!!???!!!
Damn. Do you just get the orange flashing light when you try to turn the phone on?
Take out SD Card and try.
If nothing works the bright side is you can send it to HTC and say "I woke up, turned it on and it's dead". Chances are they'll never be able to tell how it happened.
Many people did this when the Clockwork recovery bug bricked loads of phones.
Sorry but stay positive. Always a sliver lining.

Thank you
thanks for your great guidance to get back to recovery. I followed your tips and made it.
thanks a lot once again.

[Q] Did I brick my desire?

Hi.
I was recently experiencing some problems with my desire and I believe that I might have rushed into bricking it.
I woke up the day of the bricking. I had just installed the newest version of GingerVillain (version 2.4). My phone had run out of power the day before so I started recharging it. After it had charged for a couple of hours I went to the market to update some apps. During the update my phone suddently rebooted. I thought that it was nothing and went back to the market and continued updating. A few minutes later it rebooted agian. It kept on rebooting with less and less time in between after each attempt until it chose to reboot at the splash screen continuesly.
This is when I thought of starting the phone in recovery and do a NAND restore. As I tried to enter the recovery mode the phone froze at a black screen. I pulled out the battery and retried a couple of times without success.
I read a little on the internet about ADB and tried doing some stuff but I kept on getting errors when running commands in the tools directory. At this point I was getting desperate because I needed the phone to work as I was expecting an important call. I tried flashing a new RUU (through the installer on my PC) while the phone was in fastboot (but without using any ADB and CMD stuff). After this installation almost had finished I got an error saying that the version of the rom wasn't the right one for my phone and the phone shut off.
Since then I haven't been able to boot it into bootloader or even boot it at all. Whenever I hold down power + volume down nothing happends and if I try only pressing the power button the phone vibrates and other than that nothing else happends. Not even the screen turns on.
I since then set up ADB and got it working. I then tried to see if the phone was still able to fastboot through the following commands:
Code:
adb devices
and
Code:
fastboot devices
but found that this was not the case.
Whenever the battery is in the phone though, the bottom of the phone starts to get warm, a little like it's actually using the battery to perform some actions or something. I was also able to recharge it through my computer.
I really need a phone and as it seems I have got my hands on a spare one, but only for a limited time. I'm really thinking of handing it in to the HTC Concept Store so they can send it to the repair department and hopefully get it back as fast as possible.

Ohh dude! I BELIEVE YOU MIGHT JUST HAVE SAVED MY LIFE! TY! TY! TY! TY!
My stationary just killed itself because of the hot weather and a little bit too much work. If I was going to hand in my phone and they couldn't repair it since I had "destroyed" it, I would be forced to buy a new one, and with that I wouldn't be able to afford new components for my stationary.
I will get right on with trying this method as soon as I get home and then I will give feedback asap. It will probably be the most fun "digging in the dark" I will ever do if it turns out to work.
I was almost sure I had killed my beautiful phone, and with it only being a couple of months old that would have been a pain in the ass.
Once again TY so much!!

I have been at this for almost 4 hours now and still no result. I believe the guides could have been more noob friendly. I've been to hell and back reading all the kinds of guides out there to get it all to work and now I'm tired and believe I won't be able to fix this, or atleast doesn't have the capacity to keep on trying.
I pretty much believe that I had this SLCD-brick, but trying out different RUU's is killing me inside and stealing my time. I'd rather just hand in the phone and recieve it as it was from the beginning again to start all over.
Trying to repair a smartphone with a blackscreen is is not something I have the capacity to do. Besides I have my recently deseased stationary computer to take care of as well.
I do have a goldcard, pushed the PB99IMG.zip file to my /sdcard/ through adb and tried starting up fastboot and do as described here.
But somehow I did not find any changes to the problem and the guide itself was wierdly written although the only guide I could find on this problem.
But now I'm giving up. I seriously just hope they will repair my device at no cost.

Me

Man.. what happen when you connect your mobile to PC.. is it showing android device and under that bootloader interface.. dont lose hope... lets try some steps...
connect your mobile to PC and see in your device manager.. can you see android.. if yes than your driver are installed...
than remove the phone from pc.. take out the battery.. and put back battery.. and start by volume down and power.. and than after 10 sec just press power button again.. and connect to pc again... and cehck device manager.. and you should see the same if not.. than install your adb driver.
Point is.. install ADB driver.. when you are on hboot screen.. as well fastboot screen..
Than your RUU will detect your phone.

Well I tried all the steps for this. I can see the phone when booting it with the following combos:
Code:
1: Volume down + Power
2: Power
1: Volume down + Power
2: Volume down
3: Power
When using the first method I should as far as I can understand myself enter fastboot and the other one is recovery. Even when running the fastboot devices / adb devices commands in ADB it tells me what state my devices in, that is either fastboot or recovery. So that's for certain.
I tried running the following RUU when I had connected my device with fastboot:
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8_Radio_32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed.exe
The RUU found my device and I ended up with a 140 Error. I read in some guide that this error could be to blame of different windows drivers so I tried grabbing the rom.zip from the RUU (from Temp folder) and renamed it to PB99IMG.zip and put it on the phone. As I couldn't get access to my SD card since I can't see what's on my screen in fastboot and recovery mode I used:
Code:
adb push PB99IMG.zip /sdcard/
with the PB99IMG.zip placed in my tools folder for the transfer. It completed and now the PB99IMG.zip should be placed on the root of my sdcard.
As a notice I live in Denmark and the above RUU should as far as I can understand be the one I need and should as well be SLCD compatible.
When I try to trace the steps in the "not able to see your screen guide" placed here I get none of the desired outcomes:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=880268
I find the guide a little but confusing though. When to use the right commands to trace through a black screen fastboot/recovery and stuff isn't really "noob"-friendly.
When I tried using the following command I didn't get the desired result either:
Code:
fastboot oem gencheckpt
Which should return a HTC_<number> that could tell me whether my phone is branded or not, but instead resulted in an error. As far as I can remember I did make my sdcard a goldcard when I rooted my phone, without knowing whether I would need it, so this number should be irrelevant. So I kept on going at this point.
I have basicly tried everything that I can find guides for and have traced all the steps in detail as far as I understand the guides anyhow. I feel like at a dead end. I am having doubtsg whether the PB99IMG.zip is run when I boot my phone.
Having a clean slate (but still the PB99IMG.zip on the sdcard I have now tried the following:
Code:
Volume down + Power
Windows reported a connected Android 1.0 device and the Android Bootloader Interface.
Power once more (should now be in fastboot)
fastboot devices
confirmed the above, but using ADB devices only return a result if the phone is in recovery mode
So far so good..
I'll give this one more day which will be when I return home at 17:00 today. Then I'll head to tech support at my HTC Store.

Good.. i think you should try this RUU
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.exe
As error 140 is for wrong bootloader.. so try this RUU.. n try to run RUU from PC rather than putting PB99IMG into sd..

Okay. I'll try this and should I run it while in recovery like I did with the other one?
Does it matter if my SD card is out of the phone?
EDIT 1:
I tried with the sdcard out of the phone and with the RUU installed through windows. I now see a HTC Logo on the screen.. and an installing bar below the logo.. Seems like you were my divine interception mate.. ty a lot. I will write once the installation is done.. whether or not it succeeds.
EDIT 2:
My phone is now working. Booted with HTC Sense and a pin code request. Currently setting it up.
I guess I should now be able to re-root it again and get back to the state I was in before I SLCD-bricked it.. or what?
And in what way do I easiest remove that PM99IMG.zip file from the sdcard..? I booted my phone without the sdcard in it to avoid it running the PM99IMG.zip file..
One little question more.. I don't have any phone signal.. could this be to blame for the radio? I can connect to wifi though.. or can I simply run that other RUU I used earlier with the bootloader error to get back my signal?
So happy right now..
EDIT 3:
Nvm. I tried shutting down the phone, put in the sdcard, boot it up again. I found that the ADB push command on that PM99IMG.zip file didn't work. The file wasn't there.. and I suddently got back my signal. Only question is, can I now re-root it again and get back to my previous state without any problems?

Yes Ofcourse you can re root it.. with Unrevoked rooting wont be a big problem... and as soon as you root... just take a nandroid backup from it and be safe..
Enjoy the victory you earned... .. ;-)

[Q] Rooted Desire Hd help please

Hi had all different roms on my DHD and settled on Ice cold sandwich which it has been running for a few months now, earlier on today I noticed that it had gone off and only the backlight was on, So I restarted it and it started loading the screen up but then just went into a loop.
So i pulled the battery and went into recovery and reloaded the ICS rom, but know it just vibrates 5 times and shows the splash screen and goes off with just the backlight on again.
I can get into fastboot but when i press the button for recovery it does the same I've tried every pd98img I could find and it says wrong image after I try and load them.
And when I connect it to the pc it can't be recognised by htcsync or thru any adb commands, and windows tried to load a driver called Q_USB-DLOAD or something similar then loads a qualcom usb driver but adb commands still won't recognise it, been looking all bnight for an answer getting desperate.
Thanx in advance Michael

1. Remove your sd card and try to boot up again if it boots up then there might be something corrupted on your sd. (Possible sd may have gone bad)
2. Try to enter hboot with power button and volume down at same time to see if you can get into hboot. If it dont your boot img may be damaged and you may need to push it again thru ADB.
3. If you can get into recovery try full wipe and reflashing rom. (You may have to use an adapter to get rom on to sd since computer dont see phone then place sd back in phone)
These are just a few ideas you can try hope it helps.
EDIT: Also there is no need to create a double post of the same issue. This is what causes clutter among the forum. When you post a question you need to wait for an answer not ask again when there is no reply on your first post. Thank you

Stuck on TWRP Recovery mode (LG G3 d855)

So after accidently wiping everything I had on both SD and Internal memory trying to make a custom rom work, I was stuck with a phone that only has TWRP on it, basically. Now after I've been through this guide TO THE LETTER: http://www.droidviews.com/install-stock-android-marshmallow-lg-g3-d855-using-twrp-recovery/ I can see it installed an OS but I cant seem to get my phone to load it! SO then I tried entering recovery mode and getting back to default, it didn't change anything, so I tried installing Zoe rom (https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/zoe-rom-v1-0-mm-6-0-stock-v30a-d855-t3402087) and It STILL ONLY LOADS TWRP even though the installation seemed to be successful!
So what do I need to do? Just flat out delete TWRP? or what? Pleas advise as I'm desperate. If needs be, redirect me to how to just completely reinstall everything from scratch to 6.0 or 7.0 (preferably). I was on 4.x.x for ages and I just wanted to update, instead destroyed my phone. Sigh.
UPDATE: Another thing I've tried is to flash it with KDZ file from the PC. I can see the phone, I can transfer files to it, but windows DOES NOT recognize in the device manage so when I tried to use the flash tool, after clicking "Start" it pops a new window which gets to 60% and then stops saying the phone is not connected to the pc.

I just got over something like this this morning. First, you need to ensure you have the LG Universal drivers installed for your phone. Get them here.
Next, reboot your machine.
After this, I made sure the PC recognized all 3 modes of my phone, TWRP mode (boot to TWRP, connect), Download Mode (boot to download mode with cable) and, at least in my case, the flashing lights mode (shows up as QHUD Bulk or something).
After that, I ran the KDZ restore program successfully.
Good luck and let me know how it goes.
