i sent my phone back to HTC for a new motherboard, got it back today.
It came back with HBOOT 92.00, i managed to change it to HBOOT 80.000, now here is where the problems start.
I had it rooted before i sent it away, now i can't root it for the life of me!
i downloaded the latest root kit "r6-desire-root-alt", load the fastboot start step one and it starts to flash, then i get this error "FAILED <remote: main version check fail" it continues to do the flash, then it restarts the phone, i go into the bootloader, then recovery, i get the blue recovery screen, then i do a wipe data/factory reset, then i go to apply the update.zip, it goes to verify the package and fails on the signature, so i can't go any further.
Anyone got any fixes, this is wrecking my head! all i want to do is run titanium and restore all my stuff!

Hey guys.
Heres my situation. I want to flash psfMod-bravo-0.9.7.2 to jailbreak my PS3. I rooted my phone a while back using unrevoked.
I currently have ClockworkMod 2.5.0.1 installed. The ROM I am using is default Froyo 2.2.
So, I downloaded ROM Manager in an attempt to quickly flash to psfMod but the option to "Flash Alternate Recovery" was greyed out. After some reading, people were saying to flash to the latest ClockworkMod using ROM Manager (2.5.0.7) and then reboot and it would be available to flash whatever .img I wanted.
I ran Flash ClockworkMod Recovery, it said success. I rebooted but it was still greyed out.
Here its the part that confuses me. It says in ROM Manager that I am currently on 2.5.0.7, but if I switch off my phone and go into recovery it says im still on 2.5.0.1. I don't understand. If I select "Reebot into Recovery" in ROM manager, then it actually does load 2.5.0.7...Help!
I even tried manually flashing psfMod using the SDK and it says "FAILED (remote: signature verify fail).
Please can someone tell me if I am doing something wrong, or how to fix this!
tldr: I want to flash a new recovery (CWM 2.5.0.7) but everytime I boot up it still has the old one (2.5.0.1)
Anyone?
Can't you use unrevoked to flash an alternate recovery? In unrevoked you can select an alternate recovery, that's how I flashed amon ra
I tried using unrevoked already.
When it reboots it goes into the bootloader, does its thing, and then goes back into android but gets stuck on the "HTC Quietly Brilliant" splash screen and sits there. Unrevoked says Waiting for reboot. I have to pull the battery out for it to do anything. If I then take it back into bootloader again, Unrevoked says "Internal Error couldn't find misc".
I'm not sure whats going on. Someone please help!

Would you be willing to flash a RUU or do the PB99IMG method? then root again? If you are then follow this.
This might work for you
WAIT, BEFORE YOU START, CREATE A GOLDCARD. IT IS VERY NECESSARY. THINGS WILL GO WRONG IF YOU DONT.
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
My EVO keeps on going into recovery mode with red triangle on it. I have tried to push the adb push PC36IMG.zip /sdcard but when the phone reads the zip it keeps on failing with these errors radio_vz fail bootloader fail-ic , image check fail and update fail!..
I have also tried to run RUU but it keeps on giving me usb connection errors. What do I need to do get my phone up and running
hello and welcome to the forums.
What method of rooting are you using?
At what stage are you getting to that you are at this point?
additionally it is helpful for posters to post in the section that best fits there post in this case Q&A. this si so it keeps things easy to read and find which you will quickly find can be a task all its own as you root and start playing around. it isn't a huge deal that you posted wrong though you may get a few nasty remarks for it just dont let them get to you and in the future try post questions there.
lastly if you hold the vol up button and power when at the red ! does it do anything for you?
I followed this article
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838448 basically the root didnot go through sucessfully and phone keeps on going into the recovery mode.
Now I am trying to get my phone up and running , apparently something went wrong with the script posted in the forum.
This has turned out to be a quite an adventure for me . The process failed at step 7 and it never worked from that step.

Don't worry. We've all had our bad rooting experiences. You're in good hands here. I'd recommend posting in the Q&A section because there will be a lot of people that can help you there (especially when it gets buisy later tonight). Breathe, you haven't bricked or destroyed your phone. You're no where close to in trouble
Are you S-off? If so sounds like your recovery didnt flash correctly.
You can try flashing a new recovery. Then if thats good just get superuser and busybox installed once your up and running.

FIX BROKEN RECOVERY
This is really only needed if you rooted with one of the previos guides version 6 or lower or if you installed a different recovery like I told you not to. It installs amon_ra 2.2.1
1) Download File PC36IMG_Recovery.zip and Rename to PC36IMG.zip.
copy to the root of your SDCard and power off phone
2) Power your phone back on into the boot loader by holding power and vol-down until your presented with a white screen. It will read the pc36img.zip and as you if you want to flash. Say yes. Then it will ask if you want to reboot, VOL+UP for yes.
3) If your rom gets tossed in the process. Reboot your phone into bootloader select recovery, and reflash your rom....DONE

It sounds like it never flashed the rom & recovery. Could you attach the autorootlog file to a post so I can see where it went wrong?
Since you are already showing s-off it will be an easy fix. It would be better to run the RUU, for a clean flash, then running autoroot again where it will see you are s-off and finish, but you could also use the flash recovery tool in the post below to simply install a recovery.

smartguy10,
Could you please send me the autoroot log file that was made so I can find out what went wrong and possibly fix it?
I looked at the autoroot folder and didnot find autoroot file. Before I use your script again what precautions I should take again. If you look at the error messages it looked again the flash didn't finish completely.
Is there a way that I can back up my stock rom to sd card and restore it again if something goes wrong.
Hi all
This is the first time I tried to root my phone and install ICS on it. The phone was on 2.3.4 and then I tried to root it using unrevoked tool. Initially it was the latest version of the unrevoked and hence it did not allow me to root it. I went for one lower version and the phone was rooted successfully.
After that I followed the instructions from the androidlookout website.
All the steps went fine. When installed zip files, it did say that file was installed successfully. Now when I am trying to reboot after that, all I get is the first screen with "htc Incredible" written and it does not go ahead. I waited for hours but it did not move. Then I pulled out the battery and tried using the hard reset using Power and Volume Down. I selected option to reboot now and again stuck at the same screen.
I believe the phone is not bricked as it is still allowing me to go to the recovery menu. Any help would be truly appreciated. I am sure I might have messed up somewhere.

You don't say anything about the ICS version you attempted to flash. I suggest you try flashing another rom such as the reliable Nil's 2.1. Then if that is up running save a nandroid copy of that and try flashing the IC-dinc AOKP or Kang roms.
Pull the battery, press volume down and power button. You should be at the bootloader screen and it should say S-off if you are rooted. On the menu, go to recovery and press the power button, it should then reboot to the CWM recovery menu. You can then go to mounts and select USB mount to get the nil's (or other rom) that you downloaded to your computer and transfer it to the root of the sd card; then go back to the main menu and do a factory reset; go back to mounts, and format system and boot; then flash your rom and reboot. It should work.
Wrong section. This should be in Q&A, per site rules. Thought there was a 10 post rule, mabey they did away with it.
That being said, wipe the phone from recovery, and reflash a rom.
It sounds like you might have gone ahead with flashing before achieving S-OFF. Here is a good guide on how to downgrade to 2.2 and use unrevoked to get S-OFF. As always be sure to make a nandroid backup before you downgrade. I followed the steps in the guide to a T and am now rooted, S-OFF, with ICS running
You said that can get into the recovery menu, go in wipe your stuff and reflash.

Thank you sir!! I apologize for posting in the wrong manner but I did as you suggested. I wiped off the user data and reflashed it and voila, it worked this time.
Thank you so much!

Hi, I have foolishly (possibly?) wiped Android off of my OneX
I was attempting to apply the Tegra tweak and well things went downhill.
I successfully unlocked the bootloader from HTCdev.
I proceeded to apply Interim ClockworkMod to gain root access
This is where things started to go wrong. Any new reboot would only take me to Clockworkmod screen.
I tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599748
clear cache, davik cache... relocking the bootloader - This results in the device constantly rebooting.
I attempted to apply the RUU ROM's ( from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543604)
From within ClockworkMod I was then able to:
adb push One_X_1.26.401.2_odexed.zip /sdcard/
Once there I used ClockworkMod to apply an update zip (which I was hoping was the Stock ROM).
A reboot just brought me back to Clockwork.
I then locked the bootloader ( fastboot oem lock. ) hoping it would then proceed to boot as expected.
It didn't just going to HBOOT or an attempted recovery (isometric view of a phone with a green arrowed circle -> RED triangle).
Please someone help, starting to panic a bit. The fact I can upload, the fact that there is some basic interactions should imply this is fixable, but how?
The boot to recovery sounds like you have the same problem that I had.
Perhaps you followed the same incorrect instructions as I did. See here for a solution.

This may help.
with the locked bootloader you will only be able to run a proper ruu so before even attempting the instruction above unlock your bootloader again and proceed from there.
I might start working on some core .IMG files that can be flashed through fastboot to get you going again tomorrow

THANKS!!!
booted back to the lovely ICS desktop
It looks like I did end up flashing RUU since none of the Vodafone branding is present (and it is actually better!)
No idea what went wrong but probably flashed over the boot as hinted at in the other thread.
The provided img files assisted. just need to get this Tegra thing working (not showing up as a running/registered process but thats another story)
Thanks all
Hi guys,
I just bought my One X today. Since it is my first android i am quite noob in all the issues regarding flashing/rooting.
I already unlocked the bootloader, install the clock recovery and then when I try to flash the new rom, i forgot not to extract the zip file so things start to mess up.
Now I am stuck at the HTC boot up screen. I have tried all the methods at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...very_-_what_to_do_in_the_event_of_a_bad_flash
Click to expand...

but it doesn't work.
The problem is that when i type a command into cmd it keep showing waiting for device
So I don't know what to do now. I really appreciate your help if you could provide step by step.
Thank you so much
OK so as a noob you thought you'd try too root your 1st android phone after having it just one day??? oops! Lesson learned, next time read up loads first and maybe get used to the phone first before trying too root it. Anyway. . .
After installing Clockworkmod did you (as instructed in all the manuals I have read!) do a backup? If so just remove the usb, turn your phone off and go to the cwm boot menu and select restore. Fixed
recovery?
i see you have flashed recovery..
can you get to it??
Press POWER + VOL DOWN until it reboots and keep holding until u get to HBOOT..
from there select recovery and see if that shows up..
if you can get to Recovery, then you can either flash a CUSTOM ROM, or go back to STOCK recovery and then run RUU (a program provided by HTC that will restore you phone to stock) but you also have to relock the boot loader..
based on your choice more info may be required to help you
My best guess is that you have a messed up kernel...
