[Q] urgent please help - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi for everyone
i think i have a big problem
my desire is broken.some days ago i upgraded my mobile via ota and my phone closed it is not opening now.when i intend to upgrade rom or use offical rom my phone closes and i have to wait for a while without its battery plugged to open.
when i wait for an hour by unplugging the battery it opens for 2 or 3 minutes nd closes again.
i cannot make goldcard because of not opening.or bootloader uprade downgrade
i cannot load official or any other rom it sometimes shakes 5 or 6 times.
my mobile phone is not branded in my country some of my friend brought it from foreign country so i cannot send it to service
how can i repair it.what do you suggest

sorry i forgot
my device shows on bootloader
bravo pvt1 ship s-on
hboot-0.93.0001
microp-031d
touchpanel-synt0101
radio-4.06.00.02.2
is it rooted or not.i cannot root it because it doesnt open 3 or 4 second
when it opens i enter my personal info like i purchased first then it closes

Tough situation. I haven't thought of this stuff in 5 months so I may be wrong. Don't hold me to this but I think there may be a way to change the boot loader via the SD card. I think I read it a few weeks ago. I remember it because I thought it may come in handy someday. I'll take a look and see if I can find the link again. Not so sure about the root. Can you get in to the boot loader? Press the power button while holding the vol down?
Either way I'd try unrevoked on it. If its booting then running for a few minutes, unrevoked may be able to catch it and do its thing. With that done you can go on to change the radio and Rom at will.
It sounds like you will be able to fix it but its going to take a lot of reading. All of the information you need is here. Finding it is always the problem.

yes i can get into bootloader but when i try to upoad offical ruu rom 1.21.405 it closes and everything repeats again
tthanks my friend if you help me i glad to you.....thanks....

Ok here's what I would do.
1. Go to unrevoked.com and select your phone. Download the package for the desire.
2. Check if it will work with hboot 93. Mine uses 83. There were issues with 93 back when the desire was first rooted. Unrevoked is now version 3, this may have solved the issues. Maybe someone with more recent experience can comment on that.
3. Get the radio and Rom you want. I'm using leedroid 2.3b and the newest radio. This can be found on the development section of this site.
4. If everything checks out, restart in bootloader and plug in your phone. It will ask for the Android 1.0 drivers which are in the unrevoked package. Point the installer to the location of the drivers and let it install. Unplug your phone and open unrevoked. It will say waiting for device.
5. This is where I'm not sure what will happen. Try restarting the phone normally and plug it in. It may pick up the device and restart it in bootloader to automatically do its thing and install clockworkmod. If so then you are home free.
6. Read all of the instructions for flashing radio and roms. Restart your phone, in boot loader. Don't press anything until the green words have appeared and disappeared. Select recovery & press the power. Count to 5 and press power + up volume. This can be tricky and you may have to do it a few times to get the hang of it.
7. The radio & rom must be stored on your SD card. Follow the instructions from the Rom cook to do the rest. Mostly, select zip from sdcard and apply for Rom. Then radio in 2 separate restarts. You should wipe all data.... wait a minute. Did you wipe all user data from your phone before upgrading? That may be causing the restart!
Let me know....
You need to learn all you can about the things you are about to do. Read all the instructions you find and do lots of searching. You are your warranty in this game!

[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

I use it to unroot mine, but u need to be sure your screen is amoled, this is for AMOLED screen ONLY

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.

Desire Bricked?

Ok, will give you as much detail as I can, hopefully someone can help.
My Desire is suffering from the rebooting constantly problem. Now, I have to send it back to T-Mobile so I though before I done so, I should put the correct Rom on it.
I downloaded all the T-Mob ones I could find, and not of them worked, two were the wrong bootloader version and two just had errors on start up.
Bootloader 0.83.0001 btw.
Anyway, not sure what has happened next but now when I try to turn my Desire on it just hangs on the white HTC start up screen. So i tried Power + Vol down to go into recovery and it does the same, stick on the white HTC screen.
I have taken the SD card out to try this and it has no effect, it's the same as the above.
At a loss now as to what to do, is the phone totally broke or is there some way that I can recover it?
Any help muchly appreciated.
Edit - Is there a way of flashing the RUU directly to the phone to make it run on start up? OR am I talking gibberish?

did you HOLD DOWN(right way) the Vol Down + Power untill the fastboot screen appears or did you just press it?
Held it down and got into the bootloader screen, can see all the options but picking recovery just send me to the white HTC screen where it then sticks.

Sorry that I can't help you with the bootloader issue, but just a quick note for your future reference when you (hopefully) get the bootloader sorted: Bear in mind that there's a big difference between t-mobile in the UK and in the US. It's possible that you've downloaded and flashed a US-based t-mobile ROM which has made the phone unstable.
As far as I know, UK-based t-mobile handsets operate on the 900/1800/2100 MHz bands. In the US, t-mobile runs on 1700/1900/2100 MHz bands, so the ROM you've loaded may not actually be compatible with your hardware. This may or may not help you solve the problem / avoid it in future.
Good luck!
If u can get into bootloader n fastboot try n make a gold card n flash a ruu that way.
If even try using unrevoked again n c how far u get

I think u have to unroot ur device first. This hapens to me before n I just do the step i give u down. It will help u but u have to get the correct ruu file for ur device
1. Reboot your HTC Desire into bootloader mode by turning the phone off then pressing the power button while holding down the volume down button.
2. Select “Fastboot” and hit power button.
3. Connect your HTC Desire to your computer and make sure “Fastboot USB” comes on the HTC Desire.
4. Just download the RUU file and run.
Thats it u r now unrooted ur device should start up as like u first turn it on. Sorry for the bad english.
i would recommend flashing a new recovery first via fastboot before trying RUU (though it is a good suggestion as well). If you can get to fastboot, you just need to download whatever recovery image you use, connect your phone via usb and use:
fastboot flash recovery C:\wherever_you_put_it\wahtever_image.img
Recovery can become corrupt too just like anything else on the phone..

[Q] Need some help with no longer working desire

Hello,
I have for quite some time used leedroids rom lately the the hd port.
That rom has been a little bit unstable but no real big issue. Now however my
phone has gone totally bonkers.
I have leedroids http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038195 due to that i tried to solve the issue. Using the a2sd+ version. Tried the alignment patch etc and spend more or less the entire day studying the forum.
The issue is that the phone is highly unstable.
Most often the alpha rev joker image just keeps rebooting after the joker show up, or it just sit's there. If i pull the battery for a while like a few minutes the phone often boots up but after a while it reboots again. Faster if i open an app. Especially the market app then i get almost an instant reboot.
Did a full wipe ofcourse when installing the rom, did a checkdisk on the sdcard and got new partitions for it both primary of course etc.
I just cant seem to figure out what the error might be. Only thing i havent tried is to install the stock rom. Mainly because i'm not quite sure which one i should use. So if someone could please provide a link the the proper one i would be gratefull. Rooted and s-off one would be good. I'm on the 3 network in sweden but i think they use the standard rom.
no errors while installing
hboot 0.93
Anyone got any ideas?
Well you should start by flashing any other rom using a full wipe.
If that doesn't cut it, you should try to install a htc one. This can be easily done if you are s-off. You should install the latest alpharev hboot with stock partition-layout. Then you can flash a ruu thile staying s-off. Please write back for further help, if the first option didn't help you.

Is there a way to flash the latest alpharev without having the phone booted? In recovery for example? It's a bit dangerous i noticed cause if my phone crash in the middle of flashing that i would probably be bricked i think. But i'm already s-off though should i do it again to get the latest?
To put it simple yes there is a way to do it without being booted.(actually that is the only way you can't do while booted to the system)
And no you should not run the tool itself again. When you are already s-off you can just download a new hboot image from their website and flash it directly. Download:
http://alpharev.nl/bravo_alphaspl.img
And flash it by following my directions given here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1248910
You will need to have the sdk installed beforehand.

doesn't seem to be able to connect it via adb. tried the zipfile thing too but it wouldn't allow to install the file using the recovery tool.
Also it seems to be able to boot if i pull the battery for a long time. But as soon as it seems to heat up a bit poof it goes into a reboot. Could there be something wrong with the battery so it get's to hot and reboots?
Might be but you need to be back to stock in order to know for sure. Lets just drop flashing another hboot and return it completely to stock(i don't have time to guide you through that process right now) then you can always reroot afterwards.
Just download the gb ruu here: http://www.htcdev.com/process/legal_download/152
In order to flash it, boot up in the bootloader by holding vol down and pressing power. Then connect it by usb and run the ruu.

Will try full stock when i wake up tommorow. Thanks for the help
ok got reboot on cyano too
It seems to be the famous boot loop problem in HTC desire .
To confirm flash the original RUU, if the problem persist then your mainboard has developed fault.

Borrowed Desire won't boot (white screen)

Hi!
First off, I've been searching for the answer all afternoon, but with no luck.
Here's the thing. My GF borrowed my friends old Desire, because her Legend broke.
When we tried to boot it up, it was stuck at the white HTC screen. So i entered Hboot and tried to use recovery with no luck. Recovery was also stuck at white screen.
My friend had removed his SD card before we borrowed the phone. Could that be the problem? Both me and my friend are pretty new to rooting/flashing. All the info he could give me, was that he was running some Modaco rom, and had used Unrevoked to root the phone.
I tried to download a Modaco rom and rename it PB99IMG.ZIP and putting it at the root of our own SD card. No luck.
Then i tried to put the update.zip (CWM file) with the hope that I could then load recovery. Also no luck.
Also tried to plug in USB cable, so that I could maybe wipe phone and install a new RUU. USB was recognized in Hboot (HBOOT USB PLUG status), but no access gained on the computer. I have manually installed drivers.
My friend lives a bit far away. So is there a way I can solve this without his SD card?
Thanks in advance!

bortak> Awesome guide, will check it out right away!
Okay, so now i followed bortaks guide. Created a gold card, downloaded latest recommended RUU, and then ran it while connected with fastboot usb.
At first i had problems when the RUU rebooted the bootloader. The phone shut down and disconnected instead of rebooting. Tried a few times, and finally got the installation to move on by keeping the phone "alive" through pressing vol buttons -although with a black screen.
But by 29%, while updating radio, the installation froze. After some time i unplugged USB and let the installation fail. So now I'm stuck with the four triangles with exclamation marks. I can run the RUU again and again, but it keeps freezing at various stages of installation.
What to do? It's not bricked, so there must be hope?
Can I take a different approach? Through ADB perhaps?
Thanks again!
RUU installation keeps freezing on my pc! Tried to click vol button to perhaps keep the phone "alive", but then I got error 155
Can't seem to find anything on Google about RUU installs that freezes - do any of you know what to do? Can't I use ADB or anything to flash the ROM?

unfortunately yes, if you unplug the phone and turn it on, it should boot in RUU mode, at what point does it say FAIL! ?
if it is on the radio, then I'm afraid it's bricked.. if you managed to luck out somehow and it isn't, then you could try again.
When i turn it on, the black splash screen with exclamation marks comes on. If i try to turn it on with usb cable plugged in while running XP mode on virtual machine, i see the white screen with version informations. But it only says RUU with an orange background.
Tried to install the new Gingerbread RUU from the HTC hp, but it still freezes. Think I'm out of luck
hmm... stick your phone in the freezer (in a plastic bag) for 5-10 minutes then try again.
I know it may sound strange.. but it may be overheating or something.

Which RUU are you trying to install?
I had the same issue when I realised I was trying to install a 2.1 RUU on my desire which was a bit silly, I had identical problems. used the correct 2.2 RUU and all ok
voodooboy3000 - Was trying to install official 2.3 Gingerbread RUU.
elliottg61 - It was crashing all the time when he had it, so he said i could have it if I could fix it. I couldn't
I would give the original firmware a go and get it back to stock. was it originally locked to a specific provider? if not use this RUU
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=869048
Your not even s-off. How did he use anything to root. Granted my experience is with the bravoC. The GSM I'm sure is different. I would find the newest ruu available and try to flash that from hboot. If it takes forever go away. Don't touch it. Don't unplug it. Don't do anything till its done. If it wont flash after 30 minutes your screwed I think. U can try it over again. But if u have an official ruu it should flash no problem. If it gonna flash.
Try flashing a shooter port on the og evo, or flash a rom on the shooter. It can seem to hang on you for a while but it just takes time.
Edit: try this just rename it and stick on root of SD card and boot phone with volume down and power and then leave it be.

[Tutorial] Unbrick your softbricked HTC Wildfire S

Your phone is said to be bricked when you screw up with your radio partition of your phone. This contains the bootloader which loads the operating system. This is a hard brick and needs expensive hardware to fix. I can only help you with a soft brick.
benjamingwynn said:
Most people seen to not know the difference between a soft brick, a boot failure and a total brick.
Boot failure: commonly referred to as 'the HTC screen', 'the white screen' and of cause the 'help me my phone is stuck - problem'. This problem can be caused by many things, including the kernel, library's and ramdisk (think of a ramdisk like a map of your phones internal hardware). This can easily be resolved by flashing a new ROM.
Soft brick: Is where your phone gives out no screen output, but does give out some vibrations or you can access the bootloader utility/hboot, this can be fixed by flashing an RUU
Brick: your phone is as useless as a brick. It does not turn on nor make any vibrations, and you can not access the bootloader utility. There is no way to fix this.
Here's some ways to avoid soft bricking/bricking:
- Don't flash unofficial radio firmware
- Don't flash unofficial hboot software
- Don't throw your phone
- Don't flash anything suspicious in hboot
- Don't flash an RUU not designed for your phone
Here's some common misunderstandings:
- Roms, on there own will never brick your phone
- Kernels will never brick your phone
- The bootloader is not the radio
- Too many flashes will not brick your phone (however, you may make the internal memory smaller by KB because of bad sectors, but that story is for another time )

It is a good practice to keep at least 3 nandroid backups on your sd card or computer. Also, making a goldcard is also necessary to run an RUU and to flash a PG76IMG.zip these things make it easier to unbrick your phone
Install ADB and Fastboot here first.
A Soft brick may be of many types.
The 3/5/7 vibe Brick (common with A510c)
This is Qualcomm Diagnostics mode.
--> How To Fix It (Click here)
You have to use a PG76IMG.zip extracted from your RUU, and not the file given in that post.
kalaker said:
To extract from the RUU,
Launch RUU (For this to be easiest, close all other running applications)
At the screen for the README, launch Windows Explorer
In the navigation/address bar type "%TEMP%" without the quotes.
Choose the first long-named folder (actually, the most recent) and open it.
Follow folders until you get to where there is a whole, big list (it should only be 1 or 2 subfolders).
Look for ROM.zip
Drag to desktop
Rename to PG76IMG.zip

or
-Flash another ROM
or
-Restore a nandroid backup.
If that didn't work,
-Extract the boot.img from your ROM zip and and copy it where ADB and Fastboot are.
-boot into your bootloader [wait 15 sec] select 'fastboot' and press power.
-type

fastboot flash boot boot.img
Reboot
Stuck on splash screen (White backgound with green 'htc')
Wait for at least 20 minutes to be sure its really stuck.

HI I have a 3 vibe brick on my CDMA VM USA HTC Wildfire S. It started with phone restarting and so I tried to recover though CWMod recovery, as I had backed it up when I first rooted my phone. During recovery it failed. I rebooted my phone then was stuck on the splash screen, after that I tried a battery pull and wound up with the 3 vibe brick. I have tried this method 4 times now, nothing seems to change, 3 vibes on power + vol down, wait 5 min, press vol up, wait 5 min again press vol up, no vibe, no nothing. screen stays black, no other vibes, do a battery pull, start over, same thing again. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated cause I have no backup phone at the moment.
I'm sorry that's my mistake you have to do that with a PG76IMG.zip, not pb31img. Extract it from the ruu of your carrier and then follow the procedure

Ok cool. I was kinda thinking that's what it was, cause every time I was in hboot before this happened that's what it looked for, but I wasn't sure. Not really familiar with android but learning. Thanks again, btw, it works and you rock.

So you're unbricked now? Could you post the PG76IMG for other users?
usb connection
Hi, really good tutorial bud, mine is stuck on 7 or five vibe seems random at the moment...transffered zip to sd but I think my battery is dead and does not seem to charge on charger and laptop not recognising usb connection (though red led comes on....do I need to find alternative way to charge battery ? Also if in diagnostics mode would this show in device manager... as I am guessing if it does not that means I aint so phone is truly bricked...
Thanks ahead
Ben
So did you try the method shown?
thank you mate! really help for us keep sharing!

hard brick?
Hey all.
I recently purchased a Wildfire S(no simlock, no branding) from ebay. The touchscreen was responding very randomly so (without giving it too much thought, sigh) I decided to flash it. I'm in Germany so I used "RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.13.401.3_Radio_47.23c.35.3037_7.54.39.28M_release_236989_signed.exe"
I don't know what I did wrong but now I seem to have a bricked phone. When powered on it displays nothing, it doesn't vibrate and it is not recognizes by Windows when connected via USB, it doesn't even show up in the Device Manager as some sort of device. The display keeps turning on and off every 2,3 seconds regardless if I turn the phone on or i just plug in the battery so now it sits with no battery waiting to be salvaged.
Can you confirm that I have a hard bricked phone? I've read that it is possible to unbrick the HTC Sensation by putting it in QDL mode.
Can this be done with the Wildfire S? I saw two little holes near the upper right corner of the battery.
If it is absolutely impossible for the Wildfire S, can you recommend a place in Munich where I could get my phone fixed? What's a reasonable price so I don't get ripped off?
Thank you all! I hope I've posted in the right forum. Should I open a new thread for this?
Ciao.
Did you unlock your bootloader? If not, you can claim your warranty

I've got it from ebay, so I don't have any receipt, just the phone. Also didn't bother to check that before bricking it.

Yes mate I tryed..get as far as 5 vibe sometimes 7 vibes sometimes led on or off, wait 5 mins push up vol wait at least 10 mins push up again and no single buzz..gutted...I am unlocked so screwed there. Is there no way to get usb connection to do it the old way.
@ B3NJY What phone do you have (marvel/mavelc, which carrier)? Which pg76img did you use? Did you make a goldcard?
@machofx Can you boot into the bootloader? (remove and replace battery, press and hold vol- and power)
sigh

I can't boot into the bootloader. As I said, nothing is displayed when I turn the phone on nor does it vibrate, it just turns the backlight on and off every two seconds.
P.S. I tried VolumeDown+Power button after removing the battery, didn't work!

I think the ruu did not install properly. You probably have a hard brick. ( read 1st paragraph of 1st post)

My friend, you have a marvel, not marvelc. ( if it was a marvelc, then the 1st line would be MARVELC EVT1 S-OFF RL & O2 doesn't sell the marvelc). When did you check this?Which PG76IMG is that? It should have a higher s/w number than yours ( you can do it if it is lower also, but that is a much longer procedure). You can make a goldcard by putting your sd card in another htc phone also.
