Hi all,
before I was running the LeeDroid ROM, but if I played with my phone while is on charger, sometimes it would restart itself couple of times and then get stuck at the HTC logo. The only solution was to reinstall ROM.
Thinking that the ROM may be cause of this, I unrooted my phone and installed the latest generic version. I also installed the latest update, 2.10.
Anyway, this morning while playing with my phone while on charger, again it rebooted itself and now I am again stuck at the HTC logo.
I cannot boot in recovery either.
I tried following this instructions, created goldcard, placed the PB99IMG.zip file on the card, the phone reads the file but then the update fails with reason "main version is older".
My question is: can someone help me? I don't need to install another ROM or anything, I just need to boot up my device.
I was thinking of reinstalling the latest ROM, but cannot find the RUU. I found one, but again I was getting that the version I am trying to update to is oldest then the one I currently have.
Thanks in advance.
I also cannot boot in recovery. So the only open options I see are either to reinstall the ROM through EXE (which I don't have and can't find, because it's the latest version) or through PB99IMG.zip.
The guide you followed won't work because you installed 2.10.405.2. However, if your phone was rebooting randomly after you installed an official RUU it has a fault, you should contact HTC.
I cannot contact HTC because the phone is bought in UK and I live in Macedonia.
I don't need to downgrade or get root or anything, I would just like to reinstall the OS.
BTW, I found why my phone was rebooting.. bad USB cable. It didn't hold tight while charging, so probably that was causing the phone to reboot.
Bloody great! I solved my issue.
What I did was:
1. Installed this ROM - I know it's O2 branded, but all I needed was to be able to boot up my device.
2. And then, followed this instructions to downgrade/debrand.
I'm happy again

Hi people, I have screwed up majorly.
I own a rooted froyo stock HTC Desire and got tired of seeing the update notice on the small OTA updates HTC have made. Since my phone was rooted, I was unable to actually install it normally because it would give me some error and exit as you all know.
When I finally had enough, I downloaded the update and renamed it to update.zip, placed it in the root directory of my SD card and proceeded to install it through Clockworkrecovery. In the beginning it proceeded as normally by installing, but somewhere it screwed up and I was stuck in the infinite reboot thing. The HTC logo would appear and seconds later it would turn off and start over again.
I then tried to boot into clockwork recovery to run the update again, but alas I couldnt. It now says "E:Cant open /cache/recovery/command" now I am stuck in the normal recovery system.
Is there any way out of here? I have tried to download Cyanogenmod and rename to update.zip and install, but file verification fails. I know it was a longshot.
I dont think it's bricked....
"All" you have to do is get an official RUU - put it in fastboot mode and run the RUU
That way u get a unrooted stock rom.
After that u can root again using Unrevoked and get the rooted 2.29.405.5 rom
the one i use is : RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.exe

Mange tak!
I am downloading the official RUU now, but just to be sure:
I enter fastboot mode by powering the phone on, holding volume down. Then I connect the phone to my computer and run the .exe?
yup - that should be it...
og velbekomme
Just make sure your desire isnt branded, else running the WWE RUU wont work.

Well its not branded, but got another issue.
I only have access to a computer with Windows 7 and got error 170. I have been searching and all the guides to bypass it requires the phone to be turned on and connected to HTC Sync, for above reasons I am not able to do so.
Any ideas?
Edit: Seems like I got it working, used this guide to correct my USB drivers.

So it's working now ? u got your phone back ?
Hi guys,
So i researched a few days before trying to root, install a custom rom (LeeDroid) and flash a custom rom
I managed to do it yesterday and everything was working fine. It is a really great rom.
But today I powered down my DHD and I can't boot anymore. The phone keeps rebooting (it vibrates one time, i see the HTC green logo, then a black screen, vibrates and so on...). The only way to stop this process is to hold the vol- key wich takes me to bootloader (so it appears the phone is continuosly powering off and on)
I already tried and bootloader is working fine, but when a I try any option that requires a reboot, the phone starts this process of power up and down.
Does anyone have any idea of whats happening?
Thanks guys!
Did you perm root your phone?
You could try reinstalling the stock rom too.
Go to bootloader, select recovery, do a full wipe and reflash your ROM. If you get a bootloop when you enter recovery, get stock RUU from XDA and use that.
Yeah I permrooted it.
But, how can I install a new rom without recovery?
I thought that you already flashed LeeDroid, and if you did, you have ClockworkMod recovery. But if that is not the case, use a RUU.

Sorry man... I overlooked this post...
To better describe what I did:
-Radio s-off
Eng S-off
Instaled Leedroid (followed every recomendation he did in the post)
Flashed the radio he suggested
Got the phone working, tested a little bit, charged and then I powered off
When powered on again I got this bootloop
______________________________________
So, do you still recomend RUU?
Can I find any guide here on XDA?
Thanks!
edit:Forgot to mention that I get the bootloop even if I choose recovery on bootloader
edit2:
So after I came home I found de RUU post.
So here are some questions:
Mosts of the RUUs are in .exe extension, so I think that's the ones I should be looking for.
Can I download any version?
I'm currently downloading de WWE Asia version since my phone came from India. Only English (india) was available from stock, but I will not try to do anything before I'm sure of what to do.
When I plug the usb cable the bootloader changes to USB bootloader (or something like that). From the little that I found aboutt RUU I should run with the phone on that condition. Is that correct?
Thanks again, and sorry for the constant editing
Really sorry for double posting, but I need to update.
I managed to install the RUU. The program worked fine and I got the confirmation of installed rom, but when the phone rebooted it got stucked on the bootloop again.
Can this be a hardware problem? Is there anything else that I can do having access only to bootloader?
Okay, it is a hardware problem. The RUU wipes everything clean and installs a new system, and as it does not seem to help, the problem is definitely in hardware side.
After I was almost giving up I tried a different version of the RUU and the phone booted!
I already rebooted it a few times and it seems ok.
Thanks for the help jkoljo!
Nice job, which RUU did you use?
I think that there was a bad block in your phone's internal memory, which got fixed when the RUU wrote on it a few times.

I used the Asia_WWE_1.32.707.1
I was trying to use a 1.72 version and still got the bootloop, but the asia version worked just fine.
I´m really glad the phone is working now, the only downside is that I´m back to the stock rom.
Hi, I need some help with my Desire HD.
I've been running Android Revolution for nearly a year now and had 6.1.5 running well until about a fortnight ago.
Initially, the volume keys started malfunctioning and the volume down would get stuck. Occassionally, the phone would freeze and I'd have to take the battery out and reset, and it would seem fine except the date was set to 11:00AM on January 1, 1980. Same date and time every time. Strange!
In the past week some processes have been failing, some downloaded apps and some google service framework. The phone then rebooted itself into bootloader and when i tried to reboot it would just loop back in to bootloader. after 10 or so reboots it would eventually boot back up properly.
Yesterday I ran SuperWipe and reinstalled Revolution 6.1.5 and things seemed to be running smoother. Then my phone froze again and is now stuck in the bootloader and nothing will work. The volume up key works nearly always and the volume down key has occasionally worked with alot of force, but i think this problem may be seperate to the software issues.
I once selected Reboot Bootloader and rebooted to a weird fuzzy static screen.
I've recorded a video of what is happening and posted it here: h tt p:// youtu.be/Sgp8pYin6yY
I've also posted a picture of the green text that flashes up in bootloader, I'm not allowed to post links so please go to the link in the comments on the youtube video.
From looking at other forum topics I think loading an RUU could be a solution, but I'm not sure how to do that.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Bickers
to flash an ruu or its pd98 equivilent is simple.
For an RUU what you do is in hboot select fastboot. then Plug in your phone and run the RUU.exe from your pc.
OR
If you prefer the PD98 method. what you do is place the pd98 file in the root of your sd card(not in a folder). boot into hboot. and hit up to accept the installation
its your choice on which RUU to flash but personally i would choose either the new sense 3.0 3.12 or the sense 2.1 2.50.
One thing to note is the issue with your volume down. If you still have warranty on it, i would get it replaced
Making RUU into .exe or PD98IMG.zip
Ok I think it's best for me to reinstall the original Vodafone Rom.
The "The Complete Guide 2 Return Rooted Phone Back 2 Stock for Vodafone Australia Warranty" guide relies on using Clockworkmod - which I can't get into because my phone won't boot past bootloader.
I have downloaded the 1.32 ROM from the above thread and it's a zip file but I need to know how to get it into either RUU.exe to run through my computer or PD98IMG.zip to run through bootloader.
Do I simply rename it PD98IMG.zip?
I've been searching and reading lot on RUUs and unrooting etc. but can't figure out how to do it.
I also have a goldcard that I created last time I flashed a custom ROM but I can't find the guide that I followed and I'm not sure if I need a goldcard.
Please take the time to help me and provide step by step instructions of how to take the 1.32 Vodafone AU ROM back up and install it onto my phone through bootloader.
Thanks a million and one!
No you can't rename that zip and flash in hboot. Unfortunately you need access to cwr to do that method.
I think first we should try and get you back up and running on any rom before you decide to go back to stock. Unfortunately for you their isn't a ruu for vodafone au to make it and easier process.
So for now try and reflash cwr and or a different ruu, to atleast get you in a working state. Give me a min to find a link to a guide to see if that will help you
Edit- try this

Use the mirror links in the second post. If you have no way to transfer the files use the ruu method at the end. Links to the wwe and hopefully faster links are found in my last post in the thread
Partition Update Fail!
Thanks for your help.
Unfortunately when I try to flash the PD98 of the recovery image I get Fail-PU in red next to BOOTLOADER and RECOVERY.
and "Partition Update Fail!" in black underneath.
I also tried another recovery pd98 and got the same thing. About to try the RUU method from the PC, but if that doesn't work i'm not sure what to do
Hi guys,
I REALLY need some help on this one...! I majorly messed up.. I'm on the road at the moment, which makes this even more difficult.
So I was running CandyRom on the old L firmware. I was getting ready to upgrade to another M Rom (Skydragon).
So I read that, of course, I need to upgrade the firmware. So I stuck 6.12 (6.012? Whatever latest one is) official firmware.zip on the SD, changed its name to Oxxxxx.zip (I can't remember the exact name) and booted into bootloader to install.
Now my problem is that this has (seemingly) wiped TWRP from my phone.
So here are my tools:
Windows laptop.
USB Cable.
(Very slow) internet.
How do I get from my phone being stuck in this state, to installing TWRP again, and being able to flash a rom? I can't directly access the SD card, and I'm not even sure I can ADB into the phone from its current state...
Also, my bootloader says that my phone is 'relocked' if that makes any difference.
Been a while since I've tinkered with all of this... please be gentle. Would really appreciate any help!
Files downloaded so far: TWRP 3.0 .img for one M8...
edit: I've installed HTC USB drivers... trying to download ADB drivers so I can at least use fastboot to get into phone. Let's hope it works...
Meanwhile... please help T_T
Hello everyone,
Let me apologize before hand because I am a little new to rooting androids. I have searched and searched and nothing seems to work for me. Anyways here is my story. I had my phone rooted with twrp and supersu but on lollipop. I thought it was time to upgrade so I decided to go to the HTC Website and locate the RUU. I downloaded the one in that link and installed it. Everything booted up fine. I installed TWRP and rebooted and it worked. I installed SuperSU as according to this LINK. The only difference is I had already put the zip file on my sd card before loading into TWRP. Moving on. This is where it started to mess up. I rebooted my phone afterwards and was stuck loading and then reloading at the HTC screen for 25 minutes. SO i decided this must not be working so i loaded back into TWRP. I tried DLing different versions of SuperSU and still rebooting at the HTC screen. As of right now my download mode says ***** UNLOCKED ******* S-ON. My OS is 3.38.502.12 and when I had originally installed TWRP my OS said Android 6.0. I am now trying to go back to the RUU and get it to flash the rom again but after hitting next on the installation exe it closes and does nothing. I have tried to look for a ZIP file but HTC apparently hasn't come out with one.
If anyone can help me I'd REALLY appreciate it.
Thanks in advance

Alrighty I'm dumb. I finally got the RUU to work and was able to flash the ROM to default. Now back to trying the TWRP and Super SU install again =D hopefully doesn't bootloop again.
you need a new supersu zip, 2.46 is way too old
