[Q] I think I've bricked my Desire - HELP PLEASE

Let me see if I can explain.
I was running Opendesire 4.0.15 (had been rooted using Revoked on a Mac).
I had modified the recovery using Revoked using amon-ra's ps3 image so I have no proper recovery.
I notices using OD Updater that OD 4.0.16 was available, downloaded that and let it flash it itself.
Now the phone doesn't boot properly, I get the O2 splash screen then what looks like a dark grey screen with very thin vertical coloured bands then back to O2 splash.
It occasionally show the Android screen but not much else.
Once it got to the setup screen with the Touch Android to begin picture and the animated finger. However there was a FC on screen and the touchscreen didn't work, so I couldn't progress.
I can get into fast boot and even the modified recovery but I can't see what to do to get a rom onto it or get it to boot up so I can re revoke it for a proper recovery.
It seems if I leave it long enough it gets to the setup screen but no touch screen working. Then it re-boots.
Can anyone suggest how to get a proper recovery file on at least??
Any help gratefully received.
Edit
From Hboot I can see
BRAVO PVT3 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.83.0001
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.10.05.17_2
Jun 10 2010,12.12.05
So it's an SLCD then?
Please help I can't afford another phone.
Thank you.

I can see the device from fastboot, (fastboot devices lists it by it's serial number)
is there any way for get either a new rom or even just recovery onto it from this commandline?
Anyone?
Please

this is what I get, any clues?
c:\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot flash system od.zip
sending 'system' (65463 KB)... OKAY [ 11.219s]
writing 'system'... INFOsignature checking...

RUU see's it, (when I have it in bootloader) but when it runs through and reboots the phone, the phone sticks on an H T C screen and the pc is counting looking for bootloader but never sees it.
OK, got the HTC screen, unplugged USB, plugged it back in, ran RUU again, started uploading, green bar moving across screen, then it rebooted, waiting for bootloader, RUU then failed, black screen on phone now, no bootloader, no splashscreen nothing.
It vibrates if I hold power button, it doesn't if I hold back button or VOL down with power button.
Now it's dead.

what RUU did you flash it with?
sounds like you flashed it with a pre slcd screen RUU

the only O2 one I could find on here
RUU_Brav2_UK_1.20.207.1_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_124865.exe
Now I can still get bootloader / fastboot working, I see it in my device manager and the fastboot command sees it again, is there anything I can do from there?
(damn thing is only 3 weeks old).
Thanks for reply btw

Managed to get a newer Froyo RUU to run to the same stage as I had before so now got a display back , hBoot 093 still for the borked recovery
is there anything I can do other than send it back to HTC?
thanks for reading, really really stuck here.
with files on sd card (pb999.img etc) it now checks those then says CID incorrect

where is it getting stuck now?
is this a branded device? (if unbranded was it branded before)
what did you flash it with?
Is your gold card present?
what os are you using to flash it?
Have you tried using the downgrade utility to flash it back to a version of 2.1? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256

Hello again )
ok it now just goes to the white screen with the 3 androids skateboarding I have have hboot or fastboot, I don't know the significance of those.
if I select recovery it goes to amonra's poc-psfreedom so I can't even reflash it from there
it was originally an O2 UK phone so has the O2 bubbles on screen
I don't have a gold card :i(
I run a mac but I have installed xp on bootcamp to try to resolve this.
I can see the phone is device manager as Android USB Device - My HTC
It boots to the white screen now when I plug in the usb cable
it had been running happily on OpenDesire 4.0.15 with no problem, but when I called the updater to bring it to 4.0.16 it turned into this mess.
the downgrade utility requires a gold card doesn't it? I don't have one (
edit - more info
the RUU file I have tried again is
RUU_Bravo_Froy2_UK_2.14.207.1_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_144166_signed.exe
it tells me it will go from image version 1.20.207.3
to image version 2.14.207.1
it starts and brings a black screen onto the phone with HTC on it, starts working then fails with erroe 171 usb connection error. (perhaps I need a different usb driver installed?)
edit again - if I unplug the usb cable I get the white screen but only RUU but pull battery and get fastboot hboot back

Hold the press
I think I've recovered it now.
Using that RUU, everytime it stalled out and said waiting for bootloader I tapped the power button and it continued, flashed the whole thing now I seem to have an official O2 Froyo!
Thanks for your input mate.

i dont know how you uninstall that psfreedom stuff, people should just buy the dongle and not risk bricking their mobile phones.
Try intalling the latest version of htc sync or use a pure windows pc rather than bootcamp see if that rectifies it.
its not hard to create a goldcard if you have a microsd slot, I do recommend you make one using the tool from modaco. and try using the downgrader. it could be that the psnation tool is conflicting the the bootloader now its .93
EDIT: was on a call mid type and posted this while you have replied.
Glad its sorted

It's sorted now, thank you.
Dongle is in the post mate.
I really appreciate your input there, I was feeling kinda lonely!
Now it's on what appears to be O2 official Froyo, means no root, DOH!
Cheers fella.

you can use the downgrader tool to downgrade hboot and firware.
then you can root and flash a rooted 2.2 405 rom like the one teppic made
it would then be on the latest 2.2 for EU and be rooted with a compatible hboot
im on hboot 93, im waiting for unrevoked. they seem to be taking an age

You are a genius, I'll have a play tonight.
Thanks mate. - SUPERSTAR -

Hi lininjim ,
I have the same issue as you mention. i get to hboo screen and nothing works beyond that. how did you get your phone to recognize with RUU. coz mine just stays in htc logo and RUU does not recognize it at all...
Vinod

1. Posting in a thread that's one year old is not very useful.
2. Look in troubleshooting guide.

Sorry to say it worked exactly as I posted mate and I got rid of the Android phones back in March.
Sorry I can't help.

[solved] Radio_V2 failure

Ok, I bought this phone from market in June means that I am not bound to any operator or carrier. I have Hboot 0.92 and radio 5.09.05.30_2
I have rooted this phone long time before, and because of rooting, I couldn't update my phone when phone checks for operating system updates periodically.
Now I tried to update my phone to latest available ROM here (Froyo (2.09.405.8) update - Windows not required). I renamed and copied the zip file in formatted card (only that .zip file in whole card) and tried to update my phone.
Everything seems to go fine but they went down the hill when RADIO_V2 starts to update. I get this error.
RADIO_V2 - Fail-PU
...
...
Partition update fail!
Update fail!
Now since the update is failure so I can't use my phone now. If I normal restart it then phone just hangs on HTC logo with 7 vibrations
Any suggestions?

Ok, now I have new problem:
Now I get either a white screen (as below) where neither of the buttons seem to work or a black screen with HTC logo in the middle with exclamation marks in the four corners of the screen.
**Screenshot is attached in the post because I can't use external URL due to account restrictions for new account.**

Going to have to bite the bullet and run an RUU...get it here:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_142828_signed.exe
Boot into FASTBOOT (hold back button and press power) and once connected via USB (FASTBOOT USB on screen) run the RUU...should get you back to normal, albeit with wiped data

Thanks Eddie for your reply.
I tried this but the green update bar gets an exclaimation sign, and I see Error 110. I have downloaded this file many times in case if I have corrupt download problem.

anyone? or is my phone dead?
Edit: solved the problem..thanks everyone

Hi, can you please detail how you got the phone back to life?
Thanks!

If you've fixed the issue you need to let people know how you did it so future issues can be resolved for other users...

Hi, I have exactly the same issue and am wondering how you managed to fix it! Please let us know

Hi,
I have the same issue , how did you fix it ??
Anyone??? please help ...

i hate it when people just make the questions just to do their job.
as long as you made it work you should post the steps to help others in similar conditions as you were.
think about it cause this is a community. we don't expect from HTC or others to help us but WE do expect from eachother!!!

sorry for my late reply. I wasn't visiting this forum and Internet much due to some problems in life.
Ok, here is what I did:
1. You MUST, MUST and MUST use x86 operating system. If you are using 64-bit then you are screwed.
2. Install HTC Sync but close the sync program from taskbar before you start to use RUU. HTC Sync has drivers which you need so you have no other choice but to install it.
Hopefully it helps

1. Not true, I've got Windows 7 x64 and can run RUUs without issues

I have Windows 2008 RC2 x64 and I had problems with it. The phone wouldn't update. The update progress bar was stopping at 70% or something

Might be an issue with the Server version...

Thanks! I'll try that...

I recently had a problem with a very new Desire on Orange UK - PVT4 - S-ON, hboot 0.93. I didnt have an orange sim and wanted to use my O2 sim. The sim worked when unlocked (my wife paid for an unlock code), but the wifi and data simply wouldnt work (seems to be a common problem)
Basically, I tried to write a new rom but kept digging myself deeper and deeper into a big black hole of bricked phone...
Eventually, after unsuccessfully trying to root, unlock, use a goldcard, use unrevoked 3 and downgrade to android 2.1 I ended up with a black screen with exclamation marks in each corner. I could only use RUU exe files to flash, so I started flashing random ROMS.
Each time it would fail with the green status bar flashing red, the phone vibrating and when it finally failed, I'd unplug the USB and see the screen saying it'd failed at step 2.
I looked for the most recent ROM I could find, and came across this one:
www dot mediafire dot com/?bbb7m2b4t5jejhm (i cant post external links)
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe
It worked! I now have a totally unbranded froyo, with newer radio and still have S-ON (which seems to be impossible!) and all my data (wifi + cellular) works fine
I really dont know what I did to get to this point, but everything I did failed. I'm hoping that this post might help someone with a newer Orange UK branded Desire, but since I'm writing it all down a couple of days after I fixed it, i'm not sure how helpful it will be!
At least the wife's happy now she has her new phone working (and i can go back to my simple world of HD2 + wp7 + nandroid)

i did same but no luck

i've same problem withHTC from Orange UK also but didn't work for me

[Q] Problems with RUU

Hi sorry if this is the wrong place or has been asked a million times, but I tried installing the 'official' RUU listed below on my HTC Desire and now its buggered
It seems to run along ok until it comes to 80% or so then gives an error 110 after turning the bar red.
- the file I tried was: RUU_Bravo_Froy2_UK_2.14.207.1_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_144166_signed.exe
And as it is on o2, and not modified in anyway..Now its stuck on a black htc screen with 4 exclamation triangles. Power+vol down are not doing anything and I've tried running a few of the dev tools (adb /fastboot) with no luck, any suggestions please?

Thanks hehe, I have discovered it has a bootloader/hboot corrupted partition and I can actually boot into it with the dev command:
fastboot oem boot
Unfortunately, it does mean I have to do this every time I need to use it but it seems to be sort of resolved as my provider very nicely offered me a replacement (o2 uk were very nice about it)
Thanks again for your answers, but it looks like I have got rescued. I still would have liked how to fix it manually, but I guess some things are not meant to be meddled with

[Q] Missing original HTC DESIRE ROM

Hi Developers and users !
I have a HTC Desire from Denmark (Scandinavia).
I have tried to install a custom Rom on the phone which was successful.
After a few months i wanted to go back to the original ROM that it had, because some of the buttons suddently stoped working (Volume down, Menu button,home button). I made a giant mistake and didnt took a backup of my original HTS Desire Rom, so I therefore found a rom on this forum and installed it on my phone.
Afterwards i have had my phone to the repair center and they found out that my phone had condensation, so it couldnt be fixed.
After some months my buttons that didnt work start working again, but now it suddently restarts by itself and sometime when it restarts, it just freezes on the HTC Desire splash screen. After some time it starts up...
Sometime i have to start it via Power button + volume down button -> fastboot -> Reboot.
I think i have a problem with my socalled "original rom" that i have installed. maybe its not the right one to this phone, and thats why I am creating this threat.
I have attached two jpg. pictures of my fastboot screen.
The first picture shows my HBOOT fastboot menu.
The second shows that the fastboot menu has a error in it, when it loads. It says "No image" or "wrong image". Therefore I am 100 % shure that the rom is wrong and not the condensation thing. I have used my phone 4 months after i had it to the repair check without the biggest issues, but now it wont restart sometimes.
I think i maby is missing the right Radio for this model.
I have searched this Forum thin for the same problem, and i couldnt find anything, therefore i am writing this.
Can anyone help me with the right original Rom for my phone model ?
Phone model:
HTC Desire
If you need any other information please write it.
I hope you guys would help m find the right ROM for my phonemodel.
Best regards
Tokay_dk

I am interested in the answer to this, too. I recently purchased an HTC Desire that seems to have the WWE_Asia ROM on it. I would like to install a rom with the Danish language that will work in Denmark because I want to give it to a friend who lives in Denmark.

[Solved] Phone stuck at HTC logo

I have a htc desire.. was using ICS rom on it.. decided to go back to stock rom.. downloaded stock RUU for India from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
now stuck at black screen with HTC logo in middle and /!\ on all four corners... followed the following steps
I
nstalled HTC sync on PC (windows vista .. tried with windows XP too)
Tried to flash RUU by double clicking on it..
After some time the phone vibrated a few times when the flashing was going on and then there was an error 110 - Bad RUU or something
Downloaded the RUU again in case the earlier one got corrupted... same error..
searched on xda a lot, tried android flasher to flash stock bravo bootloader.. it was stuck at flashing.. used command prompt to flash bootloader in fast boot.. it showed success but a time period of just 0.217 sec
Tried RUU again, didn't work, same error
tried bravo_downgrade hboot and then RUU, same error
tried bravo_downgrade hboot along with stock bravo hboot and then RUU, same error
thought of going back to custom rom so that atleast I can use the device but no recovery is present.. tried flashing recovery using command prompt .. it showed success but doesn't load. all button combos take to the screen mentioned above.
Tried going through other threads.. same thing is mentioned.. its a factory unlocked phone, unbranded and all..
Any help?

Was able to flash recovery in fastboot and reboot in recovery.. flashed custom rom .. success.. but when rebooted it gets stuck at the same htc logo with /!\ at the corners

It seems that downgrading the hboot is not at all possible... tried flashing the official GB RUU downloaded from HTC developers site.. the phone came alive !!

Hey there, I also have the same problem with a htc desire. I got the phone from a guy, so i don't know how exactly he got into this state. He said that he tried to update something on the telephone when the power went of. And since then the phone is stuck with this Htc logo and the "!" in all 4 corners. I am very new into smartphones so i don' really know what u did when u said that you flashed the official GB RUU. Could you guide me trough this process so i can try it, and see if it works for me too please ? Thank you !

Search HTC dev on google and you'll be able to get to their website.. there explore and download the ginger bread RUU which is the stock ROM package
Connect to PC and execute the exe RUU file.. it'll flash your phone
