Bootloop, no root and hboot 0.93 - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
i´ve wanted to update the phone (its from my little sister...and i have a few experience with flashing of an touch diamond..)
so, i startet a system update (settings -> phone infos -> system...somethink like this...i am not so sure anymore...)
(i have done a root with unrevoked³, 3 weeks ago, i hope/think...but i think, i doesnt work fine!)
the message came, the phone has rebooted and the clockwork mod startet... i switched off the verify signe option and started the update...no failure in the progress...but now the phone has bootloops!
i have absolutly no idea what to do now!
so the phone status is now:
bootloops
hboot works !? (hboot = 0.93)
and recoverymode...
i can get the cid
i think there are no root right
the phone is branded (t-mobile)
maybe someone can explain something to me
which steps can i perform...i think i have to downgrade the hboot?
i`ve been reading comments for more than 2 hours now....

You applied an Official OTA over a Rooted Desire..
The system is slighltly corrupted and has probably lost root rights.
Try wiping the phone from Recovery menu..Are you able to do that. Access recovery by pressing Vol- and Power button till system boots up..Press Vol- to select Recovery, press Power button to choose recovery
If a red triangle is shown, at the moment, press Both Vol+ and Power button together.
Choose: Wipe data/factory reset, and then Choose:Reboot system
Does that solve your issue?

Also you said you're rooted. Check http://www.shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bravo/ if the site lists a ROM for your brand..

"e: cant open cache/recovery/command"..is that normal?
but didnt solve the problem

Well did you check the site for any Official RUUs for your brand?
Next step is flashing the RUU..
Before you flash anything, confirm that it a version above 2.0. Anything below that can brick your phone if it's SLCD. Also do you have a goldcard? If not, try making one with the goldcard instructions for a bricked Desire.

When you say you can get the cid, is it the actual sdcard cid?
What does this command give you?
adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid
Try it in both fastboot and recovery

No, no, no, no..
You dont flash that until you confirm that your device is AMOLED..An SLCD wont take it.. Told ya that anything <2.0 shouldnt be flashed..
If it's AMOLED, you can use this one, but only after you downgrade with Teppic74's tool..If it's SLCD, dont downgrade, it'll brick it.
Confirm display type and tell me..

how can i find that out?
i have hboot 0.93..seems to be the newest...!?

Might be on the box.
TFT/LCD=SLCD
Other: AMOLED
Hboot has nothing to do with it. It just wont allow you to flash a lower version.I was talking about is software version. You're downloading 1.21.110 which is very old, and unless totally sure that it wont brick the display, you cant flash that..
If your goldcard creation is successful, you can fix by debranding the phone..You can then worry about branding it later on when you have to take it to service.
You didnt say of you got output on the adb cid command I gave you..That can tell if you will be able to make goldcard..

[Resolved] I know there's a lot threads about bricked desires but...

More information added in my 3rd post below...
I've searched the forums, googled and tried praying to the smartphone gods and I can't find an answer. Maybe you guys can help.
I downloaded a ruu that got half way through the process when it said I was using the wrong ruu and to instigate the recovery procedure - which I did. Unfortunately the phone didn't go into the white startup screen (the one you get if you hold the return key while turning on) with the recovery option, when rebooted, therefore preventing it's recovery.
The phone has the green charging light when pluged into usb but there is no 'HTC' screen or anything when trying to boot it. Just a black screen. I removed the battery and all I get is a vibration when turning it on and that's it, although on a few occasions the buttons on the bottom of the unit have lit up but to no avail.
Forgive me if the details are vague but it's all I have. I hope someone can help...

Do you have slcd desire and did you use the correct ruu?
Do you have custom recovery ?

I think I used the incorrect ruu; that's why it sent me to recovery mode. I think it's AMOLED which is why I picked the ruu I did but it is a 2.1 phone and I was trying to get to 2.2. I think I used the wrong ruu...
No, I don't have custom recovery.
Thankyou for helping so quickly.
Al
Anyone have any idea? I get the feeling this phone is truely bricked...
Which ruu did you use to begin with? Was it previously branded?
A generally safe way to recover any phone is to flash the froyo ruu, but you may need a goldcard for that. Start the phone in fastboot mode to get the ruu to work.

The issue is it won't go into fastboot. Just a black screen when I try to turn on the power. The ruu failed and said it couldn't see the phone and to remove the battery and then power on to recover the original rom - that's when it started not working.
I know how to get the fastboot screen but with this phone the screen will not come on.
The ruu i used was: RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.3_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121865.exe
It was branded to t-mobile and was trying to debrand it. I created a goldcard as well. I have all the drivers needed on my PC but my PC can't see the Desire via USB. USB bricked solutions won't work because I can't get the phone to power up - well the buttons on the bottom light up and the phone vibrates but that's it.
Perhaps my first bricked phone?
Al
don't worry. because of the feedback you are getting (buttons lighting up, green charge light and vibrate on startup), it is not a true brick. it should be recoverable.
edit: try this (edited from here)
(Remember to remove PB99IMG.zip from your GoldCard before copying update.zip)
1. Make sure the update.zip (NOT update.zip.zip!) file is on your goldcard and correctly named.
2. Take the battery out first to ensure the phone is powered off. Then hold vol down and press the power button, and hold vol down for about 5 seconds. That will get you into the bootloader even though you can't see it.
3. Press vol down once. This will select recovery.fastboot is already selected
4. Press the power button once. This will start the recovery.this will start fastboot The phone will vibrate briefly.
4a. plug in your desire into your computer. there should be a *ding* sound from the computer recognising it.
4b. Run the .exe you have downloaded. wait for it to finish. TBH I havent installed an ruu from an .exe before. I presume it is pretty straightforward. after this installs you should be able to reboot your device and be away.
5. Wait 20 seconds or so. Then press vol up and the power button and wait a few seconds. You'll now be in system recovery.
6. Press vol down once to select 'apply sdcard:update.zip'.
7. Press the power button once to start the recovery.
8. After a few seconds press the power button once again.

if you don't trust the ruu you have got, I recommend you download a fresh one that suits the screen you have (whether it be slcd or amoled).
Yeah I have tried that but I am downloading another ruu as I type.
The hboot on this phone was 0.75. Can you (or anyone else) recommend a ruu to suit?
Thanks for the input. I'll keep plugging away...

Just make sure you know which screen version you have and find a ruu file that has a higher build number then the one that you have installed, if its lower you will get a bootloader error

Ok. The phone isn't bricked but I still have the black screen.
The update.zip didn't work as per here but I have successfully installed ruu:
RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed
I still get the BSOD (Black Screen Of Death), though.
Anyone have any thoughts on a ruu I should install or do I need to try a different process? Also, how do I find my screen version? I can't see the screen - is there a prog I can use???
Thanks for the help.

I dont think there is a program to identify them, I read elsewhere that even HTC doesn't have systems to show which IMEIs were shipped with SLCD or AMOLED displays at this time.
ala the SLCD Brick page, have you tried the ruu they provide? http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...1.00.32U_4.08.00.09_release_137222_signed.exe

Now you've got that ROM the next step is to go to 2.2 (which you can do now or wait for the OTA updates to start again). Just make sure you leave your gold card in (if you had to use one in the first place)

I have saved the gold card for just this thing - the phone had a 4Gb card (my gold card) but I use a 32Gb for my music. <n00b>How do I get the phone to 2.2 (do I use another ruu?) and is it worth it?</n00b>

Click on the version number in my signature (it's a link to the full RUU)
Yay!
Nevermind. The phone is updating automatically. How cool is that?
Thanks Eddy.
I have been having 'successful phone upgrading celebratory' drinks so bear with me...
Is it worth going 2.1 -> 2.2?? I seem to recall reading some where that 2.2 ain't all that it's cracked up to be - or am I mistaken?

It's better than 2.1 IMO

[Q] "Main version is older"-Rom 2.15.118.1 -How to beat it ?

It is an brand Desire, I rooted, I loaded custom rom (worked fine), but the ROM manager screwed up something. I guess, it reflashed the bootloader (or recovery?), but failed.
Now the desire cannot boot. It stucked at the screen, with logo.
The bootloader says :
BRAVO PVT3 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.93.0001
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNW0101
RADIO-5.10.05.23
If I try to go to RECOVERY the screen goes white, and nothing happens.
If I put the PB99IMG.zip to SD card, the HBOOT finds it, but says, "Main version is older"
Is any way to reFlash the rom ?
What to do ?
have your tried installing a RUU then restarting all over again?
Yep, I tried, in USB_HBoot and USB_FastBoot mode (only available for me) but I`v got error (152 or 170).
Should I use some specific version RUU ?
U should read all NEwbie Threads more carefully again and again ! If u do this nothing can go wrong !U have to easily reflash the recovery! Just use Google!

140:BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR - on Desire screen : "Main Version is older"

What can be done ??? How to beat it ?
Sorry for the previous inappropriate answer.
So if you can still boot to hboot just install the drivers from here
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install
assumed you're running Windows and then root using:
http://unrevoked.com/#desire
After that you can install basically whatever you want (don't install stuff not matching your phone though) from the recovery
menu.
Good luck

You've been told what to do on Androidforums so I'd suggest following that
You mean this :
You have a bit of a problem then. You could try a branded update with a higher release number (e.g. Three's froyo), and then downgrade that.
But I can not find update with higher rel. than 2.15.118.1

I think the same happened to me when i tried to unlock my Desire. I juste had te redo it until it worked.
I made a little progress - I have access to recovery, then I press VolUp+Power there is op screen:
E:/Can`t open /cache/recovery/command
I tried fake-recovery but its impossible to flash-error - flash aborted.
Can I do something now and maybe and solve my problem?
So, I give up
I`m sending the phone to an authorized service.
We'll see - warranty success or not (
Thanx 2ever1 for time and help
Give it another try, may be...
Sorry mate! Didn't read your answer till now. Did you try other RUUs. There's a bunch of them in that URL: shipped roms (it is somewhere in the forum juste search it) for Bravo.
For me, to upgrade from the stock "Eclair", i used this one "RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.10.405.2_R_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_142828_signed" and it worked just fine (before that i upgraded via stock zip to froyo but the unrevoked didn't work). Then i re used the unrevoked3 and it worked in third attempt.
I guess, there was a problem in the way the phone handels the transfer of data (USB dosen't act quick enough to send the right amount of data). So the first time when my phone bouted up, it couldn't get all data from the unrevoket script at the right speed so it continued booting with the old version of recovery prog without routing.
After it worked, i upgraded my radio to the "32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14" via recovery and zip (found somewhere in the forum) and it was ok.
At least give it another try. It's all yours.

Never heard of this issue. If i got u correctly, screen goes black with soft keys flashing means screen displays as if opened a black picture. Hboot options inaccessible. Was the os getting booted or not. Check it by making a call to wildfire from other phone. Is ur phone s-off by xtc clip.
Anyway cannot tell u the solution. But coming to the possible ways, u have RUU method and PC49IMG method. And warning, donot upgrade to the official froyo if u r not on it.

sir im using cm7 and my phone is rooted i remember the last time i used my phone is i download some apps in the market then somebody calls me when i pick up my phone its already a black screen and the 4 buttons on the bottom are just flashing so try to pull out the battery it doest open anymore...
and sometimes i can access on hboot but my phone usually hangs...pls help
Just to be clear: your phone gives the same symptoms (black screen, flashing input buttons) in hboot mode?
sometimes i cant access on hboot i should try so many time if some i got luck i got an access it usually hang help....
I suppose you have preformd a nandroid backup somewere in the proces of you installing CM7 and you have Clockworkmod recovery due to the rooting process by unrEVOked.
Try as many times as you need to boot into hboot, and once there, navigate to recovery. In there you can put back a nandroid backup. In my oppinion, that should fix it.
If you no longer have a nandroid backup, just "reinstall" CM7 trough this recovery as you did the first time.
Erwin
I guess if his phone was s-off, then something error might have happened to the partitions which might be causing the issue. Because problem with access to hboot menu is not related to operating system.
And maybe if what I thought is correct, then an eclair RUU might be the solution (some solution which overwrites all the partitions). But nothing sure.

Very true, but shouldn't the problem (inaccessable bootloader) manifest itself every time, and not most of the time?
Just brainstorming here, not saying right or wrong ;-) in contrary, I think its a good thing to try!
dare i say could it be a hardware issue?
last night i got luck to wipe all the data and my phone went back to a stock cm7 2.3 but after several min my phone turns blank again now i cant boot on hboot if i got lucky to enter hboot it hangs again

what do u mean by stock cm7.
As im not using custom roms, this seems something strange and confusing to me.
AFAIK, wiping the data clears the.custom rom.
And u forgot to tell ur hboot version and secure flag (see those in hboot menu). Whats ur hboot version now, and have u used xtc clip to make s-off.
[anyway i think there will be no harm on flashing merely the RUU. So, i think u can make a try of eclair RUU of ur region which has the Radio_13.53.55.24H_3.35.19.25 might be a hope]

Not sure of anything now. As u said u havent used xtc clip, ur phone will be s-on.
U said that when u faced the issue for the first time, ur phone screen went black on incoming call. That means there os is booted. If it is still the case, I think u can go with RUU, but not sure whether it works or not.
And RUU is an exe file to be run on windows pc connecting the wildfire in charge only mode. It is used for flashing the os. If u want to make a try with the ruu, u can download it from
www.shipped-roms.org/shipped/Buzz/
There u should download ur region eclair ruu which has radio version (u can see radio version in the file name of ruu) same as I mentioned in above post. And pls donot download froyo ruu.

do i still need to install htc sync????
Htc sync is not necessary if u have installed htc usb driver which will be 13 MB size. Anyone from those two will be needed.
And as there is no phillipenes ruu, that wwe ruu might be the option for u.

HTC DESIRE unroot with RUU 2.3.3 failed

Hi guys.
I know there are several posts already opened about this, but I`ve tried all I read there and nothing worked.
I wanted to send my rooted Desire back for repairs(camera LED broken thanks to a Torch app), and wanted to unroot it before I do.
I`ve read on some posts that u can unroot the phone by running the official Gingerbread 2.3.3 RUU found on htcdev.com (the official RUU), so I downloaded the RUU, installed hTC Sync, installed the Desire`s USB drivers(the same one`s that are required when rooting with Revolutionary).
The RUU started installing, the phone rebooted into the HTC splash screen and the "update" of the RUU started going, both PC and phone showed the cursor of the installing process, and at about 90% the PC gave me an error (update error).
I`ve tried again and again to run the RUU but everytime, it failed. And now, my Desire just won`t boot. I`ve taken the battery out, put it back, turned it on, and the only thing that appers on the screen is the white HTC logo on a black background, with 4 icons in each corner of the screen(looks just like the icon that appears when u plug in the usb cable with USB debugging mode ON).
Volume-down+Power and BACK+Power don`t work anymore, even though I press them, the phone just simply ignores the keys and takes me back to the before mentioned hTC splash screen.
I know this is probably something I did wrong, but if there`s any one kind enough to help me out with this, I`d deeply appreciate it.
Thank you!

Hi guys.
I know there are several posts already opened about this, but I`ve tried all I read there and nothing worked.
I wanted to send my rooted Desire back for repairs(camera LED broken thanks to a Torch app), and wanted to unroot it before I do.

It doesn`t say anything.
This is what I do:
1. Take the battery out.
2. Put the battery back in place
3. Try turning phone on using: Volume-down+Power -> the phone doesn`t show anything, it simply takes me to the HTC logo(white HTC logo on black background. It does the same thing if I turn it on using BACK+Power)
If I try running the RUU again, the installer gives me the next message: Error[152]: image update error.
From what I`ve read, this is a radio error which can only be fixed by hTC. Could that be true?
Also, after the RUU gives me the above error, if I unplug the USB cable, the phone shows following:
*************
RUU
Radio_V2 - OK
Splash1 - OK
Recovery - OK
Splash2 - OK
Radio_cust - OK
Bootloader - Bypassed
Userdata - OK
System - Fail-PU
Boot - OK
Partition update fail!
Update fail!
*************
I have the Alpharev CM7 r2 bootloader.
even if it is its covered by htc warranty so don't worry about it
I don`t think it coveres it, as the Alpharev CM7 R2 bootloader still shows.

oh you're still S-OFF?
You're automatically in fastboot when you turn on since your phone is like that so just turn it on, plug it in first flash this and then flash this, Then run the RUU again.
Yes, I`m still S-OFF.
How do I flash them if I can`t access recovery using Volume-down+Power or BACK+Power?
I`ve downloaded the first one, renamed it into PB99IMG.zip, put it on root of SD CARD, turned phone ON and it takes me to the same htc logo screen as before.

Tried with Android Flasher, but it gets stuck when trying to flash the bravo_alphaspl.img that u`ve given me.
So basically, I can`t enter Clockworkmod, I can`t enter the bootloader menu by turning on phone usine Volume-down+Power / Back+Power, and the phone is stuck in the HTC logo, while still S-OFF-ed, also the 2.3.3 official RUU gives me the error at the end of the installing process.
Does anyone have any idea what I could do?
Bortak, one million thanks for the help, patience and the time you`ve wasted.
I managed to pull it off in the end.
My desire lives again
And hey, if ever in Romania, let met know, got a couple of beer cases with your name on them
Thanks again, dude!
Peace.

Haha it's cool dude but if I ever visit I may holla at you for some of those beers though
I have the exact same problem as i_cs_u.
I tried to use an RUU to install 2.3, I have alpharev cm7r2 installed and I get stack on the same step as i_cs_u. I successfully flashed bravo_alphaspl.img with "fastboot boot bravo_alphaspl.img", but which partition do I flash bravo_downgrade.img to?
Flash bravo_downgrade.img and then the RUU.

So write how to help others and if we helped you, use the thanks-button.

He probably figured out that he has to use the fastboot flash boot *name of img* command or Android Flasher on that screen with the 4 ! At the corner instead of renaming to PB99IMG and attempting to flash it on the phone.

You really haven't supplied any useful information, where we could even begin to try to help you.
Have you connected your phone to your computer successfully before, and only recently not working? Did you change anything?

Well, apparently you don't know what you're talking about. There is no such thing as rooting on Windows Mobile. You're talking about HardSPL.
Did you install the HTC drivers or HTC Sync?
To find out whether your phone is rooted go into the bootloader (turn phone off, then hold volume down when you power it back on). When the bootloader starts up if it says "S-OFF" at the top of the screen you are rooted. If it says "S-ON" then you are not.

i got info and its rooted... there is is an factory reset button
I got HBOOT...
Hboot0.82.0008
my Radio is-26.13.04. 19_m
I just want to be the little italian man (mario) i need to insert roms
you could still downgrade with PC10IMG.zip file (download link in rooting guide on wiki). Than it should be working fine - but you loose root!
(last time I was rerooting it took me less than 5 minutes, so it should not be such a big problem )
anyother thoughts?

Try a different computer/USB cable?
Can ADB see your device when it's plugged in?
Are you S-OFF? If so, try flashing a different ROM and see if the problem goes away.
Like others said, too difficult to definitively say what's going wrong without you providing some more information.

i am s off
how do you flash a custom rom, im stupid and cant find it :'( and btw this has to be through an sd card cause i think cant do nothing with my usb :/
do you have root permitions ? if so - download rom manager (at market), at first click on flash clockwork recovery and when its done take "download rom" - choose which one you want to and follow the steps that will rom manager tell you.
otherwise you could (after flashing recovery) put some rom to your sdcard, go to the recovery (power button + volume up; take care to not have pc10img file on your sdcard in that moment) - go to the recovery, wipe data /cache, advanced - wipe battery status / dalvik; back , instal zip - choose zip file with rom - and you are ready to go.
... says an error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands D:
i do have recovery mode what can i do with that?
