[Q] Is my phone bricked

Hope anyone can help me. Has soon tried everything without success. Phone is rooted with bootloader 0.80 Radio. 5.09.00.20 March 29 2010 and defrost system version 4.3
Have bootloader 0.80 which says wrong version when booted, and Touch panel fail sometimes. The phone can boot up sometimes, but after 2 to 3 my phone goes black and can only be started up again by taking out the battery. Is there any possibility to get the phone back to the original as it can be sent for repair. Believe, in fact it could be something hardware does not. If it can not be done, can it be made without it costing more than a new phone

Have u tried another rom?
If u want to send it to repair u need this RUU to unroot

Thanks for the quick reply. Have tried with another ROM without success. Have tried with a RUU. Unfortunately, the phone will not be in usb mode when i try to sync HTC. Windows writes that there is connection to usb port. Can you get RUU in zip format so it can be loaded via Update.zip / recovery mode. The RUU you recommend that can be used for Danish phones. Whew, lots of questions.

Yes u can install the RUU threw Sdcard, try and find a SAPPIMG containing froyo2.2 or u can try and downgrade to 2.1 and see if the phone works properly, i only have links to the 2.1 here u are:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...8U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed_txt.zip
1. download the file to SD card.
2. rename to PB99IMG.zip
3. boot into recovery (turn phone on while holding down volume)
4. just let it load the zip file and press yes when asked to install
This will get u back to 2.1 so then u can try OTA updates or running RUU´s again.

Probably u have USB Bricked, look for threads explaning how to fix USB Brick..

Many thanks for your help. Try it during the night. The problems with the phone locks and the screen goes black and can only be restarted by taking the battery out, because it surely wrong bootloader or brincked usb

Have tried to install PB99IMG.zip. Unfortunately, when it only to load up a bit of the column before the phone goes black again, and battery removal to restart. Anyone have an explanation for this. I completely drained of ideas

U seem to have a true brick.I broker my friends magic.
The new jtag riff box can now fix bricked desires

[Q] evo wont boot and RUU fails with error

I tried one of the rooting processes today and it didn't work. Now when I turn my Evo on it goes no further than the white HTC screen that you get when you turn it on. When I try to run the RUU it gets a connection error and won't go through. Can someone please help?

If you pull the battery can you get to the bootloader screen? (hold volume down and power button when turning on)

You should be able to do what Greenfieldan suggests. It is possible to work through this issue, so don't fear but it make take a few tries.

Thread stalking is fun, I see which thread you are reading, but you may have to reset you phone.
Do you either:
Have a recovery installed (if you aren't sure, then you may not)
have a PCIMG36 on the root of your sdcard, (if you aren't sure then you may not)

Go in to fastboot and you should see something toward the top that says "FASTBOOT USB", once there run the RUU

Just download the actual ruu from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884060. It will be one of the .exe files same version of you had on the phone will prolly work best. Then do what xhausx said and run the ruu file once there. Thanks xhausx btw cause i was confused too.

or download an unrooted version of your software in pc36img.zip format and boot into the bootloader and it will restore your phone to stock if you cant run any ruu

Need Help
I know this is an old thread, but I'm working on an old phone. Hopefully some of you guys are still following this.
My father has an EVO 3D that showed up one day stuck on the white HTC screen. The only remedy was to pull the battery. I thought it would be no big deal to just go into the boot menu and either try and run recovery, or at worst do a factory reset. Both of these options failed. I even made a few attempts at trying from the SD card with a ROM or two. So I downloaded the RUU direct from HTC thinking that would finally take care of the problem. But after connecting up in FASTBOOT mode and running the RUU, it eventually fails when the update gets to the point that it's supposed to restart the phone in bootloader mode. Because at that point the phone just restarts to the white HTC logo again, and the software times out telling me that it can't connect to the device. Any help here other than passing me a trash can Thanks in advance!

[Q] Cannot unroot due to HTC Sync disconnection

Hey guys, pretty much what the title of the thread says. I try to unroot my phone via the HTC sync root, and when I click on the RUU to downgrade the phone, it instantly connects and I get an error message telling me to connect the phone.
Does anyone know how to cure this? It's been driving me crazy for ages now, wish I never rooted my phone in the first place!
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks...

Lol rooting is better than that stock crap from htc.
If it's disconnecting maybe reinstall the drivers. Pretty sure there is another thread around here somewhere.
Swyped...

You can also run the RUU when the phone is in fastboot. Turn the phone off, turn it on again holding the back button and when on the white fastboot screen connect to the PC and run the RUU again

Tried that mate, and now I have a black screen, I think it's bricked it.
I know its turned on though because it vibrates & my pc still recognises it.
Any idea what I do now?

I want to unroot because me Desire started acting weird since I rooted. Started rebooting all the time & not full booting up. Had enough of it.

Which RUU did you use? As there isn't a FroYo T-Mobile one chances are you've flashed one for an AMOLED screen and you have SLCD

Didn't work. Got the 131 error again. Arghhh, this is driving me crazy!

To get a froyo desire branded by t-mobile you have to run a special method:
Download these two files:
CustomRUU
2.12.110.2-1.21.110.4_release3uop1mw9unpc376h.zip
1.) Move the ota on your sd card and rename it into "update.zip"
2.) Run the installer. It extracts all needed files into a folder of your choice.
3.) Installer should start script automatically. If not, run "installer.bat" manually.
4.) Follow the instructions to the end.
5.) You are now in fastboot mode. Press power button to get into hboot.
6.) Choose recovery and enter with power button.
7.) If the red triangle shows up, hold volume up button and press power button. Now choose "Apply sdcard:update.zip"
When this operation is finished, you have a desire branded by t-mobile running froyo rom.
Sometimes the phone crashes when you install apps from the market. To fix this do the following:
1.) Turn off the phone
2.) Boot phone into hboot (start it with pressed volume down and power button)
3.) Navigate to "CLEAR STORAGE" and enter it.
This comment wipes the phone (so you loose all data) and resets all settings. After a reboot the market should work.

You have to use an sd card to get your working again, as far as i know.
Even if you want to run a stock froyo rom without any branding, you have to create a goldcard with linux and putting it in your phone, before you can run the ruu linked by eddyos.
And by the way, micro sd card readers aren't that expensive.

I've done the ADB part, but when I'm on the CMD command prompt thing, I type 'adb devices'
And it says list of devices attatched...

Ok I found out what my serial is.

What do I do now?? Can anyone actually help me please?

[Q] Desire bricked for good?

Hi all,
I think I killed my desire. It was on three network and I managed to root it and installed Oxygen. I used the phone for about one week before I started having withdrawal symptoms in hot having the sense UI. Okay call me whatever you like but I like that UI.
Now for the problem…. I wanted to put a stock rom on it again and read a lot before doing that.
Downloaded an unbranded RUU that didn’t want to load because of the Customer ID being wrong. Read a bit more and found that I had to go back to the three ROM instead. Okay downloaded that and all seemed fine the phone was being flashed. After a minute or so the process stopped with an error message that something wasn’t right with the bootloader.
Not being able to find anything related to this kind of problem I ended up taking the battery of the phone and now all is black. I cannot get anything to work on it. Nothing happens when I hold down the volume – key plus power.
My PC still sees the phone as My Android in the device manager.
When removing the battery and putting it back in and pressing the power button the phone vibrates but nothing else. Not even the LED is lit when connected to the PC via USB cable.
Is this a lost case?
Please help
Regards
PS I have tried all mentioned on this post but I cannot the adb command to find my device

Hi yes it was S-off as I had to put it in that state otherwise I couldn't flash Oxygen it would let me.
About different Hboot I have no idea, The problem is that I cannot get anything out of the phone. maybe I'm doing something wrong? The phone now as I left the battery out the whole night it started charging again. well... the orange light comes on when connecting it to the PC, but screen still all dark, but as soon as I press the power-on button it's gone and stays off.

Hi that's good news but how did you flash the phone in that state? everytime I try the RUU exe doesn't find the phone. And yes I still have a goldcard for this phone if that's of any help?

If you've got a goldcard, try flashing the WWE RUU in fastboot mode.
The RUU you want is 2.29.405.2 or 2.29.405.5.
To get into fastboot - power and back key.
EDIT - which RUU have you tried? Sounds like it was a very old one.

Hi thanks for your reply

RUU_Bravo_H3G_UK_1.22.771.1_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.0 6.00.02_2_release_127568_signed.exe
one of these two. But my fear is that it hasn't finished to flash it till the end or if it did I had that error message.
Ho do I know that it is in that mode? is there anything or the PC I can through at it to acknowledge that mode?
Or is it only when I trying to flash the RUU?

When you are in fastboot mode, you have a white screen with three androids at the bottom. Beside some other informations you should see the word "FASTBOOT" in red highlighted letters.
Why did you posted these two old ruus? Is h3g your provider? The latest ruu by htc can be downloaded here:
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe
Download this ruu, boot your phone into fastboot mode and connect your phone to your computer. Instead of "FASTBOOT" you should see "FASTBOOT USB". Then run the downloaded ruu on your computer and follow the instrucions.

yep just tried it again.
I start the RUU exe the later of the two you recommended and it doesn't find the phone error 170.
Still no joy. nevertheless the PC does do the usual sound when a USB device is connected as soon as I press the power and back button.

Installed all drivers correctly:
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install
Is htc sync installed?
If yes, uninstall ONLY htc sync software (NOT the drivers).
Now reboot your computer.
If not, install it. Then follow the steps for "if yes,...".
After rebooting is finished, try to flash the ruu again.

thanks again trying it now....

hummm still nothing this is what I do
- remove the battery
- unplug the SUB cable
- I already had those drivers installed. My device manager shows under the Android Phone: Android bootloader interface (is this what I should have?)
- put the battery back in and plug the cable
- press the back button and whilst that press the power-on until windows goes ding-dong....
- run the RUU and tick the boxes and hit next twice and the RUU launches adb.exe (I can see this in the windows task manager...
- the RUU exe eventually gives up
any mistakes?
EDIT I uninstalled HTC sync as recommended but not HTC BMP USB Driver and not HTC Driver Installer

if I do fastboot devices from the command line it odesn't find my desire. on the other hand if I put my wife's in fastboot the fastboot command does find it. I guess there is everything fine with the drivers and software on my PC. it must be the phone that has been left in a state that is unrecoverable. Any further tips or tricks or should I just for get about and and sell it as for spares?

if I follow the fastboot screen on my wife's Desire and press the volume rocker to go to recovery and press the power button the phone vibrates and the PC shows it as My HTC instead of the Android Bootloader interface. it looks like in the back ground is all there but why isn't the phone recognised?

Not sure if this means anything or can help but as I put the phone into recovery mode ADB can now see it. doing adb devices I can see an alphanumerical value followed by recovery
what can I do from here?running the RUU rom does still not do anything in this mode.

Sounds to me like you may have SLCD brick, is your desire slcd?

As above. It seems like you've flashed an old ruu for an amoled phone.
Try flashing the WWE RUU using the PB99IMG.zip method perhaps. A quick search should find some posts about what to do

Hi Chaps
I'm still confused. okay I extracted the rom and renamed it. I did this from the RUU that wasn't my original one. I guess this is still wrong right? But having the PB99IMG.zip file on the goldcard root should do the trick or does this only work with the original RUU ROM? I have downloaded RUU_Bravo_Froyo_H3G_UK_2.25.771.1_Radio_32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14_release_149217_signed
should I use this ROM instead?
and how to I flash the phone now? Please remember that I cannot see anything on screen.
Do I hold down vol down and press power? do I need to do anything else?
what is the exact sequence of buttons as I cannot see what I'm doing.
Does the battery also need to be above a certain charge for this to work? again I wouldn't see any error messages!
thanks

[Q] Desire HD Not Booting (Flashing Orange LED)

Hi Guys, hoping someone can help me:
I have a Desire HD that has been rooted with S-OFF, after flashing a new ROM, the device wouldn't boot, when trying to start the device up, it will vibrate 3 times and flash the LED. If I try boot into recovery, it vibrates 5 times with a flashing green LED.
At the moment all I have is ADB access (no fastboot) and can't boot into the bootloader screen.
Through ADB I was able to reflash the recovery using the flash_image tool and I can boot into recovery by connecting the USB cable, I have flashed a few different ROMS through recovery, but the device will still not boot after this, I'm thinking the issue might be the radio image, which I have not been able to flash through flash_image (get -1 error code when trying this).
Any suggestions on how to proceed or what to try would be much appreciated, I'm also not fully clued up on what all can be done through ADB, so any suggestions on that front would also be appreciated.

Thanks for your response.
I have tried running RUU from the PC, which I got from here:
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Ace
The utility gives an error saying it cannot connect to the device, does the update utility not require me to boot into the bootloader to work?
I also tried downloading a few of the RUU zips there, but so far I haven't been able to flash them, just get an error "Can't to open <Filename>.zip (bad)", however I have checked that the zips are not corrupt, and I am able to flash other custom roms, not sure why it fails on these.
I also tried a bit with AAHK, but couldn't get it to flash anything, I put the custom rom in the folder as per the instructions, but it failed... perhaps I'm doing it wrong? maybe a bit of a walk through on how I would just flash the ROM through AAHK would help.

When you rooted phone did it say if its s-off in hboot. Try entering hboot. Power phone off then power up phone holding power button and volume down button at same time. If you can enter hboot and it says s-off get the rooted stock pd98img zip which also includes radio. Place on root of sd (no folder) power back up into hboot and let it do its thing. Volume up for yes when asked to install power button when asked to reboot.

Yip, my phone was rooted with S-OFF a good while ago, only got the issue recently after flashing a new rom. I can't get into HBOOT, when I try, it vibrates 5 times and flashes the green LED with a blank screen.

Sounds like your bootloader is messed up and not the radio. Search how to push the bootloader img.
Edit: sorry I'm on way to work or I would help you search. But I know there is a thread how to fix bootloader since you cant enter hboot which sounds like its your problem. You need to fix the bootloader. Do a google see what comes up from xda.

Ok, thanks, have looked around, not found anything yet, but I'll carry on looking and see what I come up with, appreciate the help.

Any luck with this. I'm in the same pickle. Running JellyTime and it just stopped working. Will not boot, and recovery mode just flashed amber light. It is an android desire hd.

I would say that its a fried emmc chip, if that isn't the case (I doubt) you can use a JTAG and a riff box to recover the phone over OPST, the equipment needed can be quite costly, so taking it to a mobile repair shop that does jtagging, should work
