Hello,
I need major assistance, I have been running third party roms on my phone for a while as well as S-Off (alpharev's iso). My phone provider has recently released the OTA update so I was trying to go back it seemed to run fine but now when I boot my phone all I get is a short vibrate and the Alpharev splash screen then the phone reboots. I have tried to power up with the Vol- and power button and nothing happens, I have tried to use fastboot from the command line and all I get is Waiting for Device. I really need help please.
Devin
UPDATE:
I can now get into Android system recovery but when I try to apply a new rom it keeps saying "failed to verify whole-file signature" "signature verification failed". Does anyone have any ideas?
Have you tried installing a working RUU? That will get your phone back to working state and you can root it once again.
Note: Use the proper RUU. Flashing a AMOLED ruu will cause a display brick if you have a SLCD desire.
Edit: Also you cannot flash a custom rom from android system recovery. Only a .zip file that is signed by htc can be flashed I think. Search and download a htc rom and flash from recovery if the above mentioned method does not work.
careful while running the ruu on a s-off device. i had a s-off device and flashed a amoled ruu instead of a slcd one and ended up bricking my screen -- fixed it later though but it caused major panic. so, run the ruu only once you're very very sure.
secondly, each ruu extracts a rom.zip file when run in a temp directory. if your ruu doesn't work because it throws a hboot or a cid error, you can try searching and flashing for this rom.zip file from fastboot and it should ideally flash the stock rom -- since it is signed by htc. you will lose root though.
Thank you for your response, do you know of a way to extract an 'update.zip' from an RUU exe file? The latest RUU from my carrier has been posted and I can't run through the normal update process as it doesn't detect my phone.
put your phone in fastboot -- switch off phone. press back button+power and try running ruu again. Once it detects, search for rom.zip on your comp temp file location.
i don't know any other way unfortunately
Sorry if it seems like I'm being stupid.
I found the rom.zip, I tried renaming it to update.zip and it fails signature verification. So right now I'm sitting at a black screen with the picture of the phone and the triangle and when I type 'adb devices' into my terminal I get the S/N and Offline. Any assistance would be great, I'm doing this on OS X if it makes a difference.
You need to rename it PB99IMG.zip as it needs to be found when you first turn the phone on in HBOOT. Any 2.2-based RUU will be fine on an SLCD screen
Obviously flashing a ROM this way will reset the phone back to stock and delete ALL data
I renamed the file, it worked!! I Have a functional phone!!
Thanks so much to everyone who helped me out in the this thread. I love this community so much.
may i ask how you got into recovery? because it looks looks like i have the same problem.

switch off phone. press and hold volume down. press power. release volume down after 5 seconds. wait for 30 seconds. press volume down. press power. the phone should vibrate. wait 40 seconds. the phone should be in recovery.
What I did power on the phone holding the back and power buttons until the menu opened.

Hello folks,
First of all can I say what a great site this is and how many super and generous people there are who help out twits like me every day!
I have rooted and flashed my phone many, many times, so I am not a Noob as such, though I am stuck on this one....
Here's my issue......
Got phone back from HTC repair - New motherboard - Worked fine.
HBOOT 0.93
I rooted phone using Unrevoked version 3
Then I installed LeeDroid 2.2d - latest version from XDA developers.
Phone worked fine for a few days.
I downloaded a few apps and synced calendars etc.
Then this morning - I unplugged my charger from the phone and Bang.....Phone seems to be not working, my Calendars are blank, so I decided to reboot phone.....................
Now I am unable to get past the HTC White Logo screen. AND I cannot access Recovery mode or Clockworkmod.
Though I can get to the Hboot screen by holding the down key and power.
Cannot boot into recovery though even from this menu.
The initial Recovery bit - the green writing that pops up when the phone looks at the recovery image, seems to be saying something like wrong image - Below.
SD Checking...

I have rebooted several times, but no good.
I have plugged my Desire in to PC and gone into Fastboot mode and then tried to install the Stock HTC RUU by running the exe from my computer.
RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4. 06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed
However I just get either error 131 or Error 140 depending on which SD card I put into the phone..........
This has got me completely stumped? Am I bricked completely or is there a way around this?
Any ideas?
HELP!!!!!!!! - I thought I was good at this!
Download a PB99IMG.zip from www.shipped-roms.com
put it into the root of your sdcard and it should reflash without a problem.
Well i don't know why both your recovery and system has got corrupted without you doing a thing to it. It usually only happens if you messed something up.. Not saying you have, but now would be the time to tell
Otherwise everything you say is exactly what i would expect your phone to do.
First of all the green writing in hboot is not a look at the recovery but a check to see, if you have put a zip file with that name on the sd-card. This is just an alternative to using the ruu.exe
Second of all the stock rom you try to flash may contain an older hboot version og something similar, which is just giving you the error because you are not allowed to downgrade to an earlier software/hboot version. Try the newest one instead with your goldcard in the phone of cause.
And finally no you are not even close to a brick here seriously some people should take a deep breath and read through the forum(not specifically you but people in general. There is just too many topics with people screaming heeelp i have no idea what i did to my phone). Theres plenty of solutions, and it is quite hard to actually brick the phone. Unless you actually tried pulling the battery while flashing a hboot or radio update almost any other software problems are easily solved, because of the way this system is build.
edit: and if you try the above suggested by h3llb3nd4. You should be aware that your phone model on that page is bravo and not desire, which is the cdma desire. So if your phone has a sim card you should pick bravo. You still have to choose one with a similar or newer software and hboot version than your current.
Hi guys,
The latest with the saga is.
I managed to get the latest Froyo RUU to run and install successfully on my phone.
However - Phone still will not get past the HTC white screen, it just sticks there.
I am pretty much out of ideas now?
h3llb3nd4, thank you for your advice, I will give this a go, but as I cannot access any menu's to do a reflash I'm not sure I understand how this can help me? - Not that I'm saying it won't, it's probably my lack of knowledge.
Otherwise, I have to say this phone seems to be a big trouble. I mean even a successful RUU install and still no reboot? Weird
Thanks so much for your help and advice...keep those ideas coming

Well I tried this, and placed the zip file onto the root of SDCard. However then I restarted phone and it simply stuck at the HTC screen as before?
Do I need to do anything else? - I cannot access recovery to install from zip card.
Do I need to unzip the zip file? or maybe rename it?
Also I am now installed with the latest froyo Bravo RUU Rom 2.10, so the image file that is for 1.21 may not be right for this?
Help........
Put PB99IMG.zip on to the root of your SD card. Then boot into the bootloader (power on with vol down held down).
The bootloader will automatically scan the SD card root for an update file and install it. That should get your back to running stock again.

Hi Bigstoo,
Sooo close, it actually started reading the PB99IMG.Zip file. However it failed to update sadly.
The error message was "update fail"
Could this be that the ROM image that is on the phone is a higher one than this PB99IMG file? Is there one that is suitable for use with
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.10.405.2_R_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_142828_signed
Thanks though! - Nearly there maybe..............

Right I have found the correct PB99IMG file for my current stock Rom.
The phone found it in Bootlaoder and went right through the installation process correctly and successfully......................
Outcome - Phone still not working at stuck at the HTC White screen.
I would say it's now looking like hardware issue to me? I cannot think of anything else that might get this bloody phone to work again...............
Sheeeesh
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

I know at least 2 other people have had this happen so I wanted to make a central thread to troubleshoot and maybe fix it. Chime in with what you've tried and (hopefully) what worked.
After a failed attempt at downgrading my hboot, I'm stuck with no picture on the screen. I can only access my phone in fastboot and the official RUU .exe. When I try to run the exe, I can get as far as the phone rebooting into bootloader but then it just times out. In fastboot I have tried to flash a new hboot or boot image but get "failed image error" or somethng.
Any other ideas/solutions?
Did you try flashing a recovery through fastboot? There is a link to amon ra's thread in my sig that has directions on it

Apparently nobody knows what to do because I didn't get it fixed.
EDIT
That being said, today I gave up and took it to Sprint, said HTC told me to use a program to restore it to factory defaults (I was very vague about the RUU, tried to sound as unknowledgeable as possible), and it stopped midway (which is sort of the truth). The guy at Sprint tried to restore it using their program, but it wasn't working. He asked if it was rooted, I played dumb, and I'm getting a new one sent to me through the warranty for free.
If your NAND is locked again (S-ON) you will only be able to flash an update signed by HTC.
I'm assuming you had the 2.02 hBoot? If so place this on your SD card, rename it to PC36IMG.zip and then put it back in your phone. Hold vol down and boot into your bootloader like normal, and after a full minute push vol down. If all goes well it will flash everything the RUU would normally.

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,

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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396253
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
Hello,
just like i wrote in the title. My HTC 10 stucks on htc logo and repeats trying to boot. But i cant do nothing like to go in download mode or recovery so im unable to flash or give adb commands. Are they any workarounds with or without jtag or something else. Vol down+ Power button combination makes no difference.
I dont know why but it happened when i tried to lock the bootloader with fastboot.
here i upload a video to show you whats going on

My device is S-on cid 034
When it boots... Hold volume down and power button at same time,may take you a couple tries,will get you into download mode...bricked isn't term for that... Stuck in bootloop...

Try holding just the volume down button while it's rebooting like that and see if you can get to bootloader.
If not, you may have to wait until it drains itself.
Then once it's dead and done looping, plug into a wall charger.
After its been plugged in for 10-15 minutes, charging in off mode hopefully:
Press and firmly hold down on the volume down key, while holding it down, push one time on the power button.
Do not hold the Power button, but continue holding volume down while device powers on, it should hopefully then go to bootloader.
If you get to that point, you should be able to recover the device.
You can come ask for further help, unless you already know what to do from there...

Hello again,
i did a mistake and cant find a solution for it. Somehow a managed to flash the recovery 3.617xxx but i then realised that i needed a stock recovery of 3.6xx401 because of my Phone CID 034. If i want to start the ota oreo update from stock rec. i get that my phone is pmewl but the ota data pmeuhl so therefore it refuses to flash the ota update. Now can i just flash an older correct stock rec over my currently stock rec which have a higher number ( 3x617xxx) and is obviously not for my cid?

i did a mistake and cant find a solution for it. Somehow a managed to flash the recovery 3.617xxx but i then realised that i needed a stock recovery of 3.6xx401 because of my Phone CID 034. If i want to start the ota oreo update from stock rec. i get that my phone is pmewl but the ota data pmeuhl so therefore it refuses to flash the ota update. Now can i just flash an older correct stock rec over my currently stock rec which have a higher number ( 3x617xxx) and is obviously not for my cid?

I thought you were going to flash an RUU?
Why didn't that happen?
RUU will place the proper recovery on your phone...and then you're all set for updating.

Yes, i have but then i wanted to restore my old build with Viper10 5.11 it was successfull too, but every time after the phone boots i received a message in dark blue font that my encrypted files are corrupt i need to factory reset my phone. So of course i did it withut thinking after that i loose the rom so i decided to make RUU again. But i couldnt because i was on a higher firmware 3.16x401x to 2.41.401xx but i managed to flash the right stock recovery but im unable to boot up the phone cuz i cant flash or install any RUU under 3.16xxx401 and this came with the eu ota oreo update. So now i cant install RUU 2.41.401 cuz im on 3.16.401 but there are no RUU with version 3.16.401. Im only booting with PureFusion but there i have no radio and i cant s-off while im still on purefusion because the sunshine app refuses it.

So what you are saying, is you are s-on and decided it would be a good idea to update to Oreo firmware, but not Oreo software?
Even though there is an entire thread about how downgrading from Oreo back to Nougat causes loss of radio/baseband...
Not sure I follow the logic here, but that sounds like a whole lot of unnecessary fun that you went through.
If you ARE s-on, you basically have three options at the moment.
One is to go and flash LeeDr0id's Oreo rom.
-OR-
You find and apply a stock system.img and boot.img using Twrp.
-OR-
You use SunShine to gain S-off so that you can revert to Nougat and then apply Oreo or whatever other games you should choose to play.
Best of luck! :good:
Thank you, lately im only making questionable choice , but i didnt see Leedroids Update so im loading it now.
But this was a stressful adventure xD
Have a nice day
