Hoping someone can help me with this.
Ive been searching around various forums and such and the level of info is slightly overwhelming. Im kinda at at loss of which
route to go down. However most of what i have tried has not worked.
I have an HTC Desire, it was origanally running on orange. However, i unbranded it and unlocked it then installed a stock
HTC rom. Eventually updated to Froyo. This was done some time ago and i really dont remember what steps i took.
The Phone has been running fine with no issues, reboots or lockups at all. I had been using a "Three" sim and running fine for months.
I was playing "Angry Birds" (damn addictive game) with the charger plugged in an charging when the phone rebooted and got stuck on the HTC
Boot logo screen.
Im totally unable to boot into android and alas cant access the system.
It seems im unable to access adb in anyway but i seem to be able to run fastboot commands somewhat successfully.
I have no real way to access the SD card, i have no micro sd card convertor and i guess i cant access it if i cant boot into
android?
The only real info i can provide is from the Power+Back Screen:
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.93.0001
MICROP-031d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNTH0101
RADIO-5.09.05.30_2
Aug 10 2010, 17:52:18
Unfortunately i bought this phone on ebay, so i cant send it back to orange (it was someones contract replacement, and uneeded)
Having read around it seems that HBOOT 93 and SHIP S-ON pretty much makes this unrecoverable?
Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks in advance
*Update*
Partly answered my own question. Seems im able to add items to the sd card via fastboot flash /sdcard/ filename
However still not sure what files to add
could you boot into the recovery?
in fastboot mode, use vol down and power button to select.

Yes, however upon pressing recovery it goes back to the HTC Boot Logo.
Bumping this for my sanity.
have you tried flashing a PB99IMG.zip?
Ive tried sending a few PB99IMG files via fastboot flash /sdcard/ PB99IMG.zip
The file seems to send fine and i can see the progress bar on the fastboot interface on the phone. However i always get a message back about the signature being wrong. Perhaps as a result of the wrong PB file?
your phone crashing without you doing anything except gaming could indicate an hardware issue.
anyways, first of all, going to htc boot logo when choosing recovery is pretty normal - it takes about 20 seconds until recovery is started.
if it doesnt start after that time, your internal data is bugged. install one of those RUU roms, to bring back you phone to factory default os. you have to root it again afterwards, but it should restore a working system.
there are a lot of other ways to restore your phone, but try these first
Murdock thanks for the advice. I had previously tried a a few RUU's however it would never let me install a version older than i already had.
I also had a fair few niggles getting the PC to recognise my phone during RUU install.
I got around this by using the older version of HTC sync which worked great (v 2.0.40)
After searching around i managed to find:
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.10.405.2_R_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_142828_signed.exe
This worked fine and currently the phone is working. However, it has rebooted itself once. I can only hope it stays stable as ive no idea about persistant boot issues.
If anyone is interested in the older version og HTC Sync or the Froyo RUU i shall be happy to upload them
Here's my 4 hour journey...
I tried rooting my Evo using AutoRoot v2.4 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838448 I would post there but I don't have permissions, plus my problem seems more general at this point anyway). I followed all of the instructions (I'm running Android 2.2 with 3.70.651.1). At first, it was telling me that it was unable to root. After trying a couple things (such as killing all running processes), I used an RUU of 3.70.651.1 (http://www.multiupload.com/W679R1W391). I ran AutoRoot again, and this time it told me Root was successful and took me to the bootloader screen. As it did this, the AutoRoot DOS window just disappeared. I rebooted and tried a few more times, same result.
Here's where I'm not quite sure what I did. I think the next thing was I went into Recovery from bootloader, didn't really know what I was doing, and did a battery pull. Then I tried to factory reset by going bootloader -> clear storage. When I went to try and run AutoRoot again, my computer wasn't recognizing my Evo (I guess restoring the Evo caused it to lose the drivers?). When I plugged it in, it briefly searched for several "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM" drivers (weird, never saw it look for those before when I plugged in my Evo?), asked me if I had a disk that came with the hardware, and when I said no it told me it couldn't find the drivers.
So basically my computer doesn't seem to recognize my Evo anymore even though it seems to be at its factory original stock settings. To top it off, it now seems to be stuck in a continuous reboot cycle every couple minutes or so (the worst that's ever happened to me before was semi-random restarts, maybe a couple times per week). I tried doing a factory reset by doing bootloader -> recovery -> menu -> factory reset but that didn't do anything. And I don't think it's charging anymore, considering that the battery is slowly getting lower and lower even though the orange light goes on when it's plugged in (though maybe it's just losing more battery than its gaining through all this restarting). At this point all I want is to get out of this continuous reboot cycle that I've spent the last couple hours trying to look for solutions for, with no luck. Much less re-customize my phone to how it was pre-restore and much less actually get through rooting it... Any help?
First re-run your RUU.
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install ; download the modified hboot drivers
http://unrevoked.com/recovery/ ; download unrevoked
Make sure to have installed, then uninstall htc sync on your computer, and that usb debugging is enabled on your phone. Then run unrevoked and you should be good to go.
"First re-run your RUU."
But my PC isn't recognizing my Evo, I guess because something is wrong with the drivers? I tried running the RUU and it said Error [170]: USB Connection Error.

How should I access my sdcard, since my PC isn't recognizing my phone?
I could probably do it via another phone, but I won't have access to that until tomorrow; is that the only way?
Edit: Oh boy. Just tried typing your link in on my phone, and apparently the phone doesn't recognize its sdcard... Might be why my PC isn't seeing my phone?
Well, you can take the battery out, remove the sdcard, the mount it to your computer via micro usb adapater.

Don't have one of those, but even if I did (or got the files on there via another phone), wouldn't the fact that it won't recognize the sdcard be a problem when trying to get it to apply the update?
The battery is starting to get really low (about 10%), I think it's not recognizing the charger

Then what you could do is copy the files on the sdcard to the pc, then re-format it from there, then place the files on it, and stick it on the charger asap.

Then let charge, use external wall charger if needed. If you have to buy one, its like 5 or 10 bucks and its better then having to buy a whole new phone.
Then, download the PC36IMG.zip (RUU in zip form), place on root of sd card, boot into bootloader, let it scan, when it asks if you want to run the update, say yes. Bada bing bada boom, your up and running. Then go download Unrevoked, its easier if your not completely sure what your doing, plus it has a nice and pretty UI that you cant possibly screw up and 5 minutes later your completely rooted, simple as that.

Pardon me if I'm misunderstanding, but what I'm seeing from your post is that to fix the sd card issue I need to fix the usb issue, to fix the usb issue i need to get root, and to get root i need to fix the sd card issue? Haha, yeah I lost you somewhere along the way...
@teh roxxorz - You're saying that the sd card issue should be fixed if I reformat the SD card on my PC? If so, that's what I'm going to try tomorrow when I have that other phone I can use.
That should fix your issue.
So I reformatted the sdcard on my PC, got the PC36IMG.zip on there, ran it via bootloader, and it worked. But, I'm still stuck in the continuous reboot cycle, can't connect my phone to the PC, and in the brief moments it stays on, it won't recognize the sdcard...
On the bright side, it successfully charged overnight, so that's not going to be a problem.
I'm hesitant to try rooting (if that's even possible at this point) to fix the problem while it's in this state in case I have to take it back to Sprint, unless there's a reason that should fix the problem? It seems pretty hopeless right now...
If you're phone is still acting crazy & it won't stay on, I wouldn't try unrevoked. Just get rid of any evidence of rooting from your SD card, and take it back to Sprint - assuming you're s-on. If you have insurance, they'll give you a new one for free. Otherwise, I'm not sure what it will cost or if it will, or if you'll have to go through HTC.

If its acting wacky before root, rooting it wont fix it. I would take it back to Sprint, for sure.

It sounds like you put your phone in diagnostic mode, when turning it on Volume Down takes it to the bootloader while Volume Up does Diag Mode. Check to see whether or not your phone shows S-OFF in the bootloader, if so you'll want to run the FlashZip script and select the Sprint Lovers file.
However, if your computer is still having trouble recognizing your phone let it sit for two minutes without the battery. If that still does not fix it use Volume Up and power one more time to try and take it out of that. I would also recommend against running Unrevoked if your phone is in Diag mode, it is very easy to permanently mess something up with it in that state.
edit: If you need to charge it more just turn the phone off and it should charge fine.
Problem I'm seeing is that u used auto root. I've seen nothing but thread after thread of problems with it. I've always used unrevoked3 and I've rooted many different phones including...2 heros, 2 evos, an Eris, a Droid, a Droid 2, and a Droid incredible. Never once did it fail or give me any issues. Simply follow the instructions and even watch the video on their site. If I where u I'd just ruu ur phone and start all over.

My phone has always been S-ON throughout this.
I did try leaving it off and without battery for extended periods of time - no dice.
How could I tell if it's in diagnostic mode and what does diagnotistic mode do?

So I took it to Sprint, they spent a couple hours on it, placed an order for a new one, and gave me this one back saying it was dead and unfixable (I think all they did was a hard reset). When they gave it to me, it was on, and remained on without restarting for like 30 mins (I thought they had fixed it without realizing it). Just now, I turned it off and on again, and the reboot cycle started again... Any reason why it may have been working that one time? I'll probably just wait for the replacement, but just curious as to why it may have worked.
@Papa_Smurf - Yeah I tried to RUU it but that didn't fix any of the problems
I think it may have just been playing possum. Is it still doing it?
Yeah now it's in the reboot cycle again. Maybe if I was to let it run through the cycle long enough it might eventually stop until I manually powered down and on again (I'm guessing that's what had happened when I got it back from Sprint).
So I just rooted using the latest unrevoked, but now my phone locks up after about 30 seconds or so, then vibrates 5 times. More troubling: It cannot see an SD card, will not mount or format.
Hoping someone can help me get back to stock.
I did not take the gingerbread OTA, FWIW.
OK, well ,the obvious first question is gonna be are you s-on or s-off.
Turn your phone on while holding the power button down to see what it says at the top when Hboot starts up.

Boot into the bootloader, then select clear storage, then try to boot up normally.
OK, so I managed to flash PC36IMG.zip. So now I'm back to stock and the EVO runs fine without rebooting. Wheeew! I was already scanning eBay for a replacement, LOL! Only issue I have now is that my Evo does not recognize the SD Card (won't let me mount, format, nothing.) I'm seeing some threads on this sort of thing, but if anyone has a quick fix I'd love o hear it. I've got a 16 GB card full of music that's just sittin' there.
Oh, now this is bad: the battery does not seem to charge after restoring... at least the charging symbol is not coming on!
UPDATE: OK, the red light is coming on now when I plug in, but battery status shows "discharging." I don't know at this point whether it's charging or not.
OK, just verified. Phone isn't charging. Down to 50%. Shutting off so I'll have enough juice to fix ti when I figure our what needs to be done. I don't have a separate battery charger, so I'm SOL if I can't get this thing working again.
Any help would be much appreciated!

sd card fix. Also, turn the phone off as you have, but leave it plugged in charged over night and see what happens for now.
Make sure you have the hboot drivers downloaded, then install, then uninstall htc sync, enable usb debugging from applications > development, then run unrevoked again.

Thanks, I'll give it a try this weekend. Right now I've got a spare battery charger on order with Amazon. Should be in this Friday. Don't want to mess with anything until I can start with a fully charged battery.
You're S-On. There's nothing you can, or could have messed with, unless you don't have the new update on your phone, which was going to be my next question

I don't have the new update on my phone. It's still showing Android 2.2 and I never approved the OTA.
One suggestion that seems to work for some people is to flash a new radio. I wonder if someone could help me with this:
1) What do I need to know choose the appropriate radio to flash?
2) Do I need to be rooted to do so, because it seems I'm not.
I'm browsing eBay for cheapie Oprimus S phones... please help me not have to buy a used $100 Optimus S because I murdered by Evo :-(
Yes, you need to be rooted to flash the radios fro ma zip file.
you don't to flash form PC36IMG.zip file, and there is the choice to do it either way.
I'm curious, you said in your OP that you rooted, and the phone went into maintenance mode (The vibrates 5 times thing is maintenance Mode).
Are you sure the root took? I would do this, reinstall HTC-Sync, then install just the program, not the drivers, and try Unrevoked again, make sure it goes through the root process and the flash of clockwork recovery.
If it boots up, then you're good.
From there, I would flash Amon Ra, as it's a better recovery, and then try a ROM.
Radios is the least important thing you can flash, and I'd save that for last, and make sure you know in detail what you're doing, when it comes to radio flashing.

I can't be sure I rooted. I'm just going by what Unrevoked reported. Superuser was installed, but the phone would die before I had much time to verify that I was actually rooted.
I've never installed HTC Sync, BTW. According to the unrevoked instructions you shouldn't have it installed on your PC because it causes problems.
OK, so I got home and the phone says battery is 100% charged. So that's good. It appears to charge when turned off, at least.
Sadly, it does not recognize USB at all. The computer beeps when I plug the phone in, but the phone shows no popups or anything.
I tried running "unrevoked" again, but unrevoked just kept waiting for me to plug in the phone. I did not install HTC Sync.
The phone does not recognize micro sd cards from within Android, but I can flash signed ROMs. I did that today, flashing what I think is a newer ROM than I had before, but alas it did me no good. The phone still does not see the micro SD card or realize that I'm plugged in and charging.
The ROM I sintalled this time was the third link on this page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884060
It corresponds to the software version I was running before running UNREVOKED the first time.
I'm getting pretty worried here. I don't see how I'm supposed to fix this phone if I cannot communicate via USB.
Installing HTC Sync will install the drivers on your computer, which you need for unrevoked to work, but then, you need to uninstall the program (not the drivers).
Ugh, now I've discovered another problem. With this latest stock ROM I've lost bluetooth!
I'm losing hope here. My last best hope seems to be to accept the Gingerbread OTA, and if that doesn't solve the problem throw myself on the mercy of our local Sprint repair store. Anyone know what their policy is on this?
Will they repair something like this for a fee if it's not under warranty? I imagine even completely brcked Evos can be repaired with a new motherboard, right?
Should I try telling them that the OTA screwed it up? Will they be able to tell what I've done to the phone?
At this point I just want to get back to stock. No longer interested in rooting. I need a cell phone just for daily living.
Hi everyone
Had an HTC Desire (A8181) for about 14 months from O2 in the UK. I debranded it over a year ago (can't remember what with though) and it has been working fine. Started rebooting randomly about 2 months ago but not that often, think it's a temperature thing.
Today though the random reboot happened but it wouldn't boot up past the HTC startup screen.
Took the battery out, left it for 30 mins and still doesn't get past that.
I can get into the boot menu by holding the volume down button. The recovery option in the boot menu doesn't seem to do anything, just stuck on the HTC logo boot screen.
The info I get at the boot menu is:
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.93.0001
MICROP-031d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNW0101

So I started looking into all this stuff (wish I had properly rooted with a custom ROM a while back now) and I need to somehow get clockwork recovery on there so I can run a backup image of the phone memory before loading a new ROM.
I've installed the unrevoked modified usb drivers and when I boot into the boot menu I can see the "hboot usb plug" option.
But the reflash package needs me to have access to the usb debugging menu option. My phone doesn't boot so that's a no-go.
To make matters worse I've got S-ON on my phone which seems to make things much harder (according to this thread... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275632)
And to make things even harder, I don't have access to a microSD reader/adaptor at the moment as I'm abroad. So the Desire is my only microSD device. I believe there might be a way of pushing files onto the device with the Android SDK.
So basically, is there anything I can do to preserve any data on the phone memory?
Or am I just going to have to deal with erasing it and learn an important lesson?
I've got a fairly old backup of contacts on the SD card but if there's anyway to get the most recent data then that would be great! It's my ColorNotes notes that I'm most annoyed about, I believe they're stored in the phone memory.
I wish all important user data was stored on the SD card to prevent situations like this. But mainly I wish I had a more recent backup to prevent situations like this
Cheers, B
you're going to lose all the data. Sorry. You should always make a backup every once in a while to prevent this.
Afraid you will lose all data.. and since you don't have root or recovery then you're going to have to use a RUU and bring your phone back to stock. Remember there is always a risk involved when using RUU's.... but to give you some confidence however.. I did just use a RUU on my phone a few minutes ago and everything went fine without any problems.. and I've done it several times before too...
Yeah I figured I would lose all my data.
I'll have to look at some sort of contacts to SD card auto-backup system for the future. It turns out my latest backup will probably be adequate, I don't actually change my contacts that often.
Do I have to bring the phone back to stock though?
Or could I just root and install cyanogen mod or something?
Per this guide...
wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Desire_(GSM):_Full_Update_Guide#Gaining_S-OFF_.26_Installing_a_Custom_Recovery_Image
(sorry not permitted to post links yet)
I do now have access to a MicroSD reader so that should make things easier.
Cheers, B
you can only root or S-OFF when you are booted into the system, in your case you are not and since you have no recovery your only choice is a RUU.
Gotcha
Just following your troubleshooting info at...
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275632
The section that says "I'm S-ON, I can't boot recovery, and my phone doesn't boot"
Got my goldcard created. Actually had one from when I debranded last year.
But when I try running the RRU executable, it can't find my phone despite it being connected via USB. I think I've got the order of the process messed up.
At what point do I turn my phone on and go into fastboot?
Before it's connected via USB?
Do I run the RRU exe once the phone is booted and connected? Or connect the phone while RRU is running?
Cheers, B
PS: Thanks for the info so far from a fellow Londoner!
boot into fastboot, connect via USB, then run the RUU.
---------- Post added at 09:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:10 PM ----------
if your goldcard works you WILL NOT receive a CID error. if it doesn't then you will. simple as lol.
Yeah actually got it reverted to stock using the PB99IMG.zip method on my gold card and now I'm back up and running!
Thinking I'll probably do the S-OFF and CyanogenMod thing now.
Though I'm finding my phone is continuing to reboot every so often so I think I might be struck by the HTC Desire reboot of death I've found mentioned in other forums. So might hold on until I've found out whether I need to return it.
Thanks for all the help!!
Cheers, B
Hi!
First off, I've been searching for the answer all afternoon, but with no luck.
Here's the thing. My GF borrowed my friends old Desire, because her Legend broke.
When we tried to boot it up, it was stuck at the white HTC screen. So i entered Hboot and tried to use recovery with no luck. Recovery was also stuck at white screen.
My friend had removed his SD card before we borrowed the phone. Could that be the problem? Both me and my friend are pretty new to rooting/flashing. All the info he could give me, was that he was running some Modaco rom, and had used Unrevoked to root the phone.
I tried to download a Modaco rom and rename it PB99IMG.ZIP and putting it at the root of our own SD card. No luck.
Then i tried to put the update.zip (CWM file) with the hope that I could then load recovery. Also no luck.
Also tried to plug in USB cable, so that I could maybe wipe phone and install a new RUU. USB was recognized in Hboot (HBOOT USB PLUG status), but no access gained on the computer. I have manually installed drivers.
My friend lives a bit far away. So is there a way I can solve this without his SD card?
Thanks in advance!

bortak> Awesome guide, will check it out right away!
Okay, so now i followed bortaks guide. Created a gold card, downloaded latest recommended RUU, and then ran it while connected with fastboot usb.
At first i had problems when the RUU rebooted the bootloader. The phone shut down and disconnected instead of rebooting. Tried a few times, and finally got the installation to move on by keeping the phone "alive" through pressing vol buttons -although with a black screen.
But by 29%, while updating radio, the installation froze. After some time i unplugged USB and let the installation fail. So now I'm stuck with the four triangles with exclamation marks. I can run the RUU again and again, but it keeps freezing at various stages of installation.
What to do? It's not bricked, so there must be hope?
Can I take a different approach? Through ADB perhaps?
Thanks again!
RUU installation keeps freezing on my pc! Tried to click vol button to perhaps keep the phone "alive", but then I got error 155
Can't seem to find anything on Google about RUU installs that freezes - do any of you know what to do? Can't I use ADB or anything to flash the ROM?

So I can have bricked the radio - but the phone will still respond?

unfortunately yes, if you unplug the phone and turn it on, it should boot in RUU mode, at what point does it say FAIL! ?
if it is on the radio, then I'm afraid it's bricked.. if you managed to luck out somehow and it isn't, then you could try again.
When i turn it on, the black splash screen with exclamation marks comes on. If i try to turn it on with usb cable plugged in while running XP mode on virtual machine, i see the white screen with version informations. But it only says RUU with an orange background.
Tried to install the new Gingerbread RUU from the HTC hp, but it still freezes. Think I'm out of luck
hmm... stick your phone in the freezer (in a plastic bag) for 5-10 minutes then try again.
I know it may sound strange.. but it may be overheating or something.
Whoever you borrowed this from will not be happy haha

Which RUU are you trying to install?
I had the same issue when I realised I was trying to install a 2.1 RUU on my desire which was a bit silly, I had identical problems. used the correct 2.2 RUU and all ok
voodooboy3000 - Was trying to install official 2.3 Gingerbread RUU.
elliottg61 - It was crashing all the time when he had it, so he said i could have it if I could fix it. I couldn't
I would give the original firmware a go and get it back to stock. was it originally locked to a specific provider? if not use this RUU

Your not even s-off. How did he use anything to root. Granted my experience is with the bravoC. The GSM I'm sure is different. I would find the newest ruu available and try to flash that from hboot. If it takes forever go away. Don't touch it. Don't unplug it. Don't do anything till its done. If it wont flash after 30 minutes your screwed I think. U can try it over again. But if u have an official ruu it should flash no problem. If it gonna flash.
Try flashing a shooter port on the og evo, or flash a rom on the shooter. It can seem to hang on you for a while but it just takes time.
Edit: try this just rename it and stick on root of SD card and boot phone with volume down and power and then leave it be.
