[SOLVED] Semi Bricked HTC Desire - Need help

Hello guys, I have a major problem on my HTC Desire. Most of it is my fault but please try to help out here and not judge me... :/
I use Miuimod. I had the 1.8.1 version and I went to install 2.1. The thing is that (for the first time!!!) I didn't check the last page of thread to find out that Miuimod 2.1 for Desire a major bug that forces an endless reboot.
And that's not all... Don't ask me why but.. I didn't make a NANDroid backup... :/ I was in a hurry and I didn't check the button from ROM Manager menu.
Also for a reason, I cannot boot into ClockworkMod Recovery. I only have hboot. Hboot lets you install a ROM only with the name update.zip. But even though I have renamed the last OpenDesire ROM as update.zip, it won't install it cause it doesn't have the proper signature.
So I'm kinda stuck with a semi bricked HTC Desire. Any suggestions?
(And just for the record, yeah, lesson learned... )

Are you s-off? If so, just flash a new recovery image through fastboot.

Wrong forum, Q/A should be right...
Try flashing clockwork over fastboot:
"fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-bravo.img"
Put your SD in your computer and copy a ROM.zip on it, than flash as usual ?

Why why why??
What have you learnt from this mistake? Yes, ALWAYS install a custom recovery. Saves you this kind of trouble.
Okay I'm of no help, but I just wanted to tell.

@markuz85 No I'm s-on. In order to change to s-off I need to boot into device (right?).
@westernmg I'm trying to but adb shows no devices and I'm kinda stuck there.
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance...

Try to pull out the battery and wait a few seconds then power on the phone again and press power+vol- and select recovery.If this don't work try to reflash an official htc desire rom renamed in update.zip from hboot.

Thanks for the answer. Can't find an official rom though. Can you point me at one?
@9600pro87 I did what you said but still nothing...

Try this: http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...3.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed.exe

Sorry, this is the correct link.
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe
Run this program update from windows with the phone connected to the pc.

Am I missing something? These files are .exe. How am I suppose to use them?Shouldn't be .zip so I can install them via hboot?

Run the program from windows with the phone connected via usb cable.

Oh ok, but as I said, I can only boot to the hboot recovery. So at what point should I run the .exe?

Hboot is ok, at least with phone off too if i remember right. The updater reboot the phone automatically.

It doesn't work. I get error [170] "Cannot connect to phone.." etc. Is it that I have changed the Radio?
I'm posting you the information on fastboot in case we can figure something out:
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.80.0000
MICROP-031d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO 5.10.05.23

Any other suggestion?

Fortunately I solved the problem. This is what I did:
I basicaly rerooted my phone using Modaco's method. So when finished I had the default ROM again. Thank you all for your help!

Good that you solved the issue. But just so you know, that method of rooting is outdated. Rooting does not need downgrading, as of current hboots

[Q] Bricked Desire plz help

hello everybody...
a friend of mine just gave me his desire, he bought a used one and tried something to update its rom, but now its bricked and its in my hand to be fixed.
the problem is that it doesnt boot at all... i mean when i press power button to make it on, the htc logo appears and starts again and again with a little VIBRATE. so i can say that its in a boot loop.
ok when i press vol down and power button it goes into the boot loader, where it is written that its S-ON with boot loader .93, and when i click on recovery it goes into the boot loop like i wrote above.
i also have a Desire HTC and it is rooted using unrevoked and i m running an HD rom over it. its a complete packaged phone...
i have a knowlege how to root and etc. but in this bricked desire case i dont know what to do. coz it never happened to me... i also searched the forum for a solution, didnt got any.
please help me in this matter... ask me question and please give me a solution,/

i tried to install the rom by downloading this RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00. 32U_5.11.05.27_release
i think it is working, but it says while installing that from image 2.33..... to imrage 2.29.... and then it tries to push everyting i mean tryies to run its setup and within 2 min it says Customer ID error, try someother package...
edit 1: i itried your way also by copying that zip file and then pasting it on the sd card... i sucessfully loaded in fastboot but i think the same error as above,,, CID error...
now what can i do?
edit 2: Have also tried unrevoked in fastboot mode... power on fastboot usb and then starting unrevoked, but unrevoked keep saying to connect device and enable usb debugging mode. nothing happens
thanks Hassan

1. Download this:
http://www.multiupload.com/LEJCW182AH
2. Follow this guide to get the ZIP out of the RUU and flash off the SD card:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10509780&postcount=102
Assuming the phone is unbranded it'll work, or at least get the phone booting again. If it fails flashing the ROM for any reason then it's a branded phone and you'll need to speak to the seller to find out where it's from

but going into vol down and menu and then pressing recovery also enables the boot loop with htc white screen and vibrate on everyboot

I think that easier way not loosing the root would be flash once again recovery were you using clockwork recovery? Beside if the phone is branded you will need a goldcard
so i think you should instal adb http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/
then you need to recovery image which you can find here http://www.android-hilfe.de/root-ha...a-recovery-ra-desire-v2-0-1-27-11-2010-a.html
put recovery on c drive sdk folder and open cmd on your windows and put a command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

U can try to put ur phone on bootloader, then plug it to ur pc and run the RUU from windows..It should restore all, after that u can root it with unrevoked and do what u want..

U cant flash the recovery on S-ON desire..maybe worth a try to run unrevoked again and see if its work, but i dont believe

i have written clearly that the phone is not going in recovery nor it is booting in to some sort of rom or recovery that i flash new recovery.but if you tell me or direct me to some tutotial to flash recovery in adb mode, may be i can unbrick my device. but c i cant boot into recovery. i can just boot into fastboot.

you dont need recovery to flash recovery fastboot is the only thing you need

ya boot in fastboot, plug it to ur pc and run the ruu from windows.
if ur desire is S-ON there is NO way to flash a recovery...just unrevoked can flash the recovery if u are S-ON, but if ur phone doesn't boot, unrevoked will not work i think

With ur guide he can run the ruu without stay connected to the pc..but he can flash it directly from the pc (if phone usb work), as is more easy (at least in my opinion)..the phone in fastboot mode is not a problem, as the ruu handle that case

Well I need ruu for europe cuz im theere. And yes,I can get into hboot. From there I tryed recovery.

I'm from europe too and the right ruu for mine phone is the RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00. 32U_5.11.05.27
And i think you have to use that one because of the hboot. the ruu you are using have a old hboot version and i dont think the ruu will downgrade hboot..
But if you can enter fasboot use that to flash a recovery and wipe youre phone then install a custome room on it.

Unless the computer/phone has ESP, yes, both adb and fastboot need a cable connection!

Use the attached file.
Put it in the root of your card (not in any folder)
Reboot by pressing Vol- and Power button.
When asked to update, confirm with Vol -
This should give you a working recovery. Then you can flash any rom as you usually do, and at that instance, your bootloops will be solved too.
After this, if you still wish to return Hboot to Stock (without losing S-Off), you can use this PB99IMG. <Make sure you rename it to the same name as the previous file after deleting the former.

Trying to unroot

Okay, so S-OFF on my phone. I tried to do the forever unroot zip, but that didn't work..so i flashed the stock PC36IMG.zip file. Now the phone doesn't boot at all..it gets stuck at the white htc evo 4g screen. Recovery mode is inaccessible (has the evo with a red triangle). Is there anyway to fix this?

Yes, but need more info from your bootloader, especially your Hoot version and radio numbers.

You can't flash that zip, because your HBOOT is a newer version than the one which you're trying to flash. Red triangle, is the recovery, stock recovery. If you push vol up + power, you'll see android recovery system. Try running an RUU of the stock ROM you want.

How do i get my computer to recognize my phone?
Also, how do i flash an RUU if there is no option to do so?

Only way of doing that is from within an operational phone, Android environment. Or via custom recovery. Since yours isn't booting. Boot your bootloader, choose fastboot and flash a custom recovery via cmd prompt. From within the recovery you can mount the phone, turning the SD card in your phone into a flash drive on your computer.

Get your phone to that red triangle screen, run the RUU on your desktop (follow steps), connect your phone. Should load the ROM for you. RUU is available here.

A RUU is an executable file that runs on your computer environment which will push the ROM to your phone via sync cable. RUU= ROM update/upgrade utility.
Must you have S-On, to switch carriers, or do you just need the stock ROM on your phone?

I didn't see that you had clockworkmod as your recovery before. That's probably why it didn't work. I agree with the above; I'd just flash a stock rooted ROM. Just download the PC36IMG.zip for RA-supersonic v2.3 and put it on the root of your sd card (you can take it out of the device and connect it to a computer using a card reader) to flash in bootloader.

My phones touch screen is acting up..and i think it was the rom.

Fastboot > RUU > PC36IMG (hboot 2.16.00001 S-ON) > RUU. Best way in my opinion.

HTC Desire 816 Dual SIM, only boots into Fastboot!

My HTC Desire 816 Dual SIM,
1. does not boot normally,
2. only boots into FASTBOOT page,
3. in FASTBOOT page I can select and enter Hboot page,
4. in Hboot menu, when I select RECOVERY, or FACTORY RESET, it returns only to FASTBOOT page.
5. as the attachment shows, there is nothing written in front of "OS-"; it is blank.
Questions:
1. In these conditions, is it possible to flash the ZIP ROM from sdcard via Hboot?
2. Is it not necessary to flash stock recovery, wipe some partitions, etc first, and only then proceed to flashing ZIP ROM from sdcard via Hboot?

Hi
I have the same problem as you only my. HTC is the sIngle sim A5-UL Version.
So far I have not had any replies regarding the problem.

It should be but you will need to have the stock recovery reinstalled by first unlocking your bootloader then flashing back your stock recovery then relock bootloader and then flash the RUU or stock zip file thru either ADB /fastboot on your computer or via SD card and renaming the image OP9CIMG and hboot should pick it up and flash it automatically. Did you accidentally wipe your system or try to flash something that corrupted it? In other words what happened before all this? We're you rooted with a custom recovery or still on stock?

3. I was on the original ROM that came with phone. I never did any manipulation.

Because my phone has behaved abnormally (OS- is blank, as attachment shows; unlocking bootloader did not show Yes or No page; and other abnormalities), I am not sure whether to download a file over 1.20GB, or not? I am afraid about failure! Is not my phone in a situation that needs some preparations before doing what you said?

Hi
Thanks for reply. I was attempting to go back to stock and had installed stock recovery and then relocked the bootloader and when i tried to install the RUU it said it was the wrong one.
I then tried the Hboot way but received the same error. I need to find several RUUs to be able to find the correct version for my 816 which i believe is Asian but not sure where.

Oh, ok I get it now. Think the forum I linked you to was for the European a5_ul. Here's a link to some a5_ul roms kitkat and lollipop. I see one of the lollipop versions is Asia. Try to match your CID and version ID or at least your radio ID's before flashing it. "fastboot getvar all" will give you most of that info but it looks like that might be your firmware. Also make sure you relocked your bootloader before flashing. Good luck

Sorry, I wasn't trying to accuse you of doing something to your phone but those pictures don't show me any of that. It just shows that you seem to no longer have an OS with your lack of a CID and something happened to cause this. It's not about finger pointing but getting the issue resolved for you I know. As for helping you unlock your bootloader the method is pretty straight forward and if it didn't work for whatever reason the only real advice I can give is to just try it again. That's how I unlocked mine so maybe it was just a glitch and another attempt will work. For now I'm more concerned that you didn't wipe anything yet your recovery and firmware seen too be missing or at least inaccessible from your bootloader. The factory reset was going to be my first suggestion but since your already done that have you tried to enter your recovery thru ADB/fastboot? (fastboot reboot recovery.) The other thing is what region are you in( India, Asia, European) and does " fastboot getvar all" work from using ADB? Also if your OS is wiped then any RUU flash will reformat your partitions for you and restore your rom. Also were you on kitkat or lollipop stock rom?

Hi
Again thanks for the reply.
My 816 A5UL is Asia-HK-CHT
CID-622
I cannot find a RUU that matches.
I believe the Rom could be OPc21000
Which i cannot find anywhere.

Yeah I've never heard of that version before. I only found one link here below that even mentions that CID but no solution. If you haven't flashed the one I linked I'd try it anyway because as long as your S on the signed rom won't flash if it's the wrong one but if your sure it's wrong then save the data hit to your ISP cap. Sorry I wasn't of more help to you.

You are being kind to me by trying to resolve my problem.
1. I tried again but it did not help.
2. I will try "fastboot reboot recovery", and tell you about the result.
3. Through online chat I gave my IMEI to HTC middle east and they told me that my Software Version is 2.34.401.2.
4. " fastboot getvar all" works.
5. You said "if your OS is wiped then any RUU flash will reformat your partitions". Can we be sure that it is wiped? If we can not be sure, is it necessary to do wipes and formats?
6. I was on Lollipop. 5.0.2.

Since you never unlocked the bootloader before, flashing the stock rom(ruu) should work. Give it a shot. Just make sure you flash the same Android version that you had before as downgrading might not work.

1. That's fine. For now it's OK that it's locked. It's only if your stock recovery is gone that you would need to unlock the bootloader and reflash the stock recovery zip file that you would need to find and flash. Hopefully it's still there just inaccessible for now.
2. Just an idea to verify your recovery is still there
3. OK then that's the firmware you want to flash or higher version
4. From that it should have your CID and version ID but if it's corrupted or wiped it may not show. Those 2 are what you usually use to verify the firmware your flashing is the correct version for your region. You can also verify your radio ID as well as most firmware zips show those numbers as well.
5. It's OK an RUU file will reformat everything and bring it all back to stock. It has all the images in it (radio, system, recovery etc.)
6. That's good. Just make sure you flash that version or higher as going down in firmware isn't possible without S off. If you flash the wrong firmware then the signed RUU shouldn't flash.
Also what region are you in ( India, Asia, Europe?) your phones firmware (CID is your carriers region) that you flash needs to match you're CID.

1. How did you know that the stock recovery is "still there just inaccessible for now"?
2. I will try after 35 hours from now.
4. INFOmodelid: 0P9C70***
INFOcidnum: HTC__J15
The picture attached to original post shows: RADIO-INVALID_VER_INFO
In getvar: INFOversion-baseband: INVALID_VER_INFO
About region: my CID is HTC_J15. And as my search shows, 401 (in my Software Version 2.34.401.2) means Europe.

1. I don't know it's still there that's why I used the word "hopefully. " You should be glad that you can still get into your bootloader because without that access your phone is an expensive paper weight. Thanks for the other info. It's exactly what you need to know to find and flash your firmware.

You said rename the file to "0P9CIMG.zip".
As getvar shows, my phone's exact modelid is: 0P9C70***
So what is the principle according to which the file should be renamed? that is, what characters of MID should be mentioned before .zip?

If "fastboot reboot recovery" cannot work, it means that I have lost stock recovery.
1. Am I right?
2. If it is not there, is it still possible to flash the rom? Or I must first flash the stock recovery?
3. Is possible lacking of stock recovery what prevents the phone from showing Yes or No page ("Unlocking bootloader?" page)
4. Is it possible just to flask stock recovery for now and leave flashing ROM to some time later?

1. Or it's corrupted but it could still be there.
2. Usually you need to flash back the stock recovery but I've heard of people flashing over their custom recovery with an RUU(rom utility upgrade) and the RUU replaced everything including the stock recovery which is in the file.
3. Not 100% sure on that one. The bootloader is a separate kernel provided with every Android OS so the recovery is separate from it. That one I can't figure out as when you were trying to unlock your bootloader you're firmware was fine at that time I assume. That's the strange part.

You seem to mean I have had problem with unlocking bootloader when my phone was normal.
No. I did not try then. Only after problem I tried unlocking. Please read my post: No "Yes or No" page when Unlocking bootloader! http://forum.xda-developers.com/des...via-htcdev-t3316781/post65371393#post65371393

What is your "getvar all" information?
(Perhaps I can be able to give you some points.)
