[Fixed] something gone wrong, need help

Hey guys i really need some help here, my phone won't boot up and it won't recognise my sd card. I've only got fastboot and recovery.
I'll explain as best as i can how it got this way;
Firstly i tried to s-off my desire so that i could upgrade to amon recovery 2.0, but it got stuck on 3rd step waiting for flash to complete after sorting that out by flashing a new rom, i proceeded to flash the recovery and that went fine. then i created a nand backup and decided to test the s-off by flashing a custom splash which also went fine but then i rebooted and downloaded leedroid2.2f and transfered it on to my sd card but when i rebooted the phone when into a small bootloop before booting into the phone but it was failing to recognise the sd card so i tested the sd card in my hero and it was working fine. the phone wasn't being recognised by the laptop as it ws asking for certian drivers so i rebooted into recovery and did a full wipe (like an idiot) and now it gets stuck in the boot animation with no logcat output and as it can pick up the sd card i can't flash a rom.
I hope some one can help me get my desire back to stock at least so i can send it off to htc if there is any hardware problem
Can i also add that my desire was orange branded had a slcd screen its original hboot was 0.83 and i don't have a goldcard for it either
Edit: I solved it and my phone is back thanks to guide by shockem on another thread, i'd also like to apologise to any mods for opening a new thread (kinda panicked) i'll look around properly before i open a new thread

hey guys now that my phone is back to stock has it got warranty back? seeing as it's an orange branded phone but it has a stock unbranded rom also its sim unlocked

If Orange takes care of your warranty, I suppose you must flash an Orange branded RUU before submitting it.

Yeah but theres no orange ruu and i can't use my usb port. I only have a goldcard which i made last night so if anyone can create a pb99img.zip for a stock orange rom i'll be grateful or if anyone can tell me another way of flashing a stock orange ruu.

That ZIP can only be extracted from an RUU, it's not something you can 'make up'
I'd go back to HTC direct and see what they say

Yeah i realised that, seeing as i got my phone running now i've done some searching and i believe my usb is bricked, theres a guide on modaco to fix it but it requires for me to be rooted, the problem is my phone is slcd and originally had boot loader version 0.83 and the bootloader atm is 0.93. Is there a way for me to root the desire to attempt this fix?

its definitely a usb brick as i've enabled sd card functionality. I jus need a way to root the device now any one help me out?

You can't, unless VISIONary is working on the Desire
If you wanna try a newer ROM and see if that fixes things get the newest PB99IMG off of shipped-ROMs.com - it's the version of 2.29.405.2 and you'll need your gold card to flash it

Just tried with VISIONary it goes through the motions and su app is there but doesn't seem to have given root as any app requiring root doesn't work. I'll have to pop into local orange shop and see what they say if that doesn't work can you tell me how i would get it back to HTC

You'd send it back to HTC as per the warranty card details I imagine, never had to send anything back to them before

SOLVED
Manage to get it done using this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9056719&postcount=15
make sure usb debugging is ticked and also copy the files to /data/data/jackpal.androidterm/ only, there is no such directory as shared_prefs

Only way to get stock orange ruu on it is go to an orange store and ask them to reflash the phone.

Assuming Orange have the RUU it wouldn't have been hard, but they would've needed the SD card working

Thats true but i don't think flashing the RUU would have fixed the usb brick but its all good now i have learned alot over the past 24hours and hopefully i won't come across this situation again but just incase it does happen again, atleast i'll know what to do. But thanks for your input i really appreciate it

[Q] HELP! Desire won't boot!

Hi everybody,
I have an S-Off HTC Desire running LeeDroid 2.3d. I've also flashed Clockwork Recovery 3.0.0.5 as the default recovery for the phone. I have been using an 8GB microSD until I got a 16GB today. I pulled the 8GB out and inserted the 16GB into the phone. However, once i put the 16GB inside the phone, it would no longer boot. The phone no longer boots up into the ROM, and it doesn't boot into Recovery mode as well; it just remains at the white HTC screen. Basically, I can only get into the Bootloader and Fastboot. Does anyone know what might be wrong and how I could fix this? Thanks a lot in advance!!
EDIT: I have since tried flashing different recoveries through Fastboot, but to no avail.

Come on guys I would REALLY appreciate if anyone could help me out with this =)

It boots up with the old 8 GB card?
If yes, you have to partition the new card for the custom ROM and reflash the ROM or restore a nandroid backup.
Sent from my customized HTC Desire using TTP

No, the phone does not boot up even with the old 8GB card. It's the same issue as with the 16GB card.

Do you guys think it would help at all if I tried to remove S-off from the device? I'm getting pretty desperate for ideas so any help is greatly appreciated.
Would anyone know how to remove S-off? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe I need the PB99IMG.zip file that downgrades the HBOOT from 0.93.1 down to 0.80 (or any other version would probably do). Is this correct? Does anyone have the file they could link me to? Thanks!

Delete please :/

???? Why??

Does it boot with no sdcard in?
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk

No, it does not boot at all. I've tried with an SD, without an SD. Even without a SIM

I would suggest running the RUU for your original rom, or one of the WWE ones. This will put your phone back to stock, no root, no s-off.
All of your data will also be wiped.

I'm sorry but I'm not sure how to do that. Can I do that even though I have no access to Recovery mode? If you could give me some instructions and point me in the direction of the file, that would be great!

You can do this if you can get into fastboot.
What are your original rom details? And was your phone branded/which carrier/which country etc..
The more details the better
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk

Originally, my phone was from Hong Kong. I didn't buy it with a carrier, it was from an electronics store. So basically, it was unbranded and unlocked when I first got it.
Also, I'm really not sure how to do this through Fastboot, or even where to get the files... So yah... Sorry if I'm such an idiot lol
One more thing. I'm not sure if this is relevant but I don't have a goldcard.

OK, short and bundled for you. This is only a guidance list, you'll have to get the details yourself with your google-fu.
- get the android SDK. You'll get adb and fastboot with it.
- install the adb drivers.
- once you got that try "fastboot devices" in your windows command shell.
- it shows your device? OK, you did everything correctly.
- get to flash whatever you like by downloading an img file and flashing it with "fastboot <target location> <img-filename>
Cheers.

Ok another possibly stupid question. I've gone on this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667 and have downloaded one of the GSM WWE files. However, it's a .exe file. What do I do with that? I was under the impression that Fastboot only works with .img files? Also, what is the difference between the GSM WWE and the GSM URL files?

I have tried following some instructions I found off Google. It told me to run the RUU .exe file and extract the rom.zip file from it. I did this, renamed it to PB99IMG.zip, put it onto my SD, and tried to flash it via the Bootloader. However, I am given a message saying the CID is incorrect. I'm guessing this might be because I don't have a GoldCard? All in all, my phone is still not fixed, and I'm really hoping someone could help me out (i.e., give me some instructions as to how to flash the RUU .exe file through Fastboot).

Remove the PB99IMG.zip file from the sd card.
Turn off the phone.
Hold down back and the power button.
You should now be in the fastboot menu.
Plug the phone into your computer with usb. It should now say 'fastboot usb' instead of 'fastboot' on the phone.
Then run the RUU exe file on your computer and follow the instructions on the screen of your computer. It will install the rom automatically.
I had this problem at the weekend and couldn't fix it. Phone went off to HTC who have sent it back after fixing, I don't know what they did though because I missed the delivery of my phone back today
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=951950

The error message indicates you need a goldcard to flash the WWE ROM.
have you checked if one of the Asian ones can be applied without a goldcard.

The Downgrade of the Bootloader only works if you are running a device that can actually boot up fully. Download this RRU, put your phone into Fastboot via the Bootloader menu, connect your phone to the computer whilst in Fastboot, you should see the Red Fastboot writing change to Fastboot USB Plug, when you see this run the RRU you downloaded, and you're device should be restored to Factory Default with the latest version of Froyo. You WILL loose all data and root and S-Off, but this is the only thing I can think of to fix your device mate hope I helped...
*Sorry, I just realised someone had posted a similar tutorial, I only read the first page of the thread, didn't realise there was a second. You don't need the AndroidSDK, if you have HTC Sync installed, then all the drivers should automatically be there, but when you run the RRU, just make sure that you close HTC Sync (it'll appear in the taskbar on Windows) as it thinks the device is syncing, and can occasionally cause problems.

YES!!!! You guys are amazing! I managed to find my old GoldCard and flashed the RUU jaaystott posted. The phone now boots up and everything is in perfect working order. I'll be sure to thank everyone for their help!

[Q] Rooting gone wrong?

Hi all
I have done a search to try and find the answer for this but I dont seem to be able to find a solution.
I am in the process of trying to flash my HTC Wildfire that I have just bought.
Now it came with S-OFF so i started by trying to use unrEVOked tool. This got so far but couldnt find the device root.
So following the guide
form.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27139372
I trying to put it back to 2.1 instead of 2.2.1
This was successful HOWEVER, the touch screen doesnt work.
So in my attempt to try and fix this I am told to just flash it.
But I cant continue, I cannot get unrEVOked to find the device anymore.
I can tell the phone to do anything different as the screen doesnt work.
I have tried to recover it using a recovery image however it keeps failing and telling me "Remote not allowed"
I had turned on USB debugging but I fear the setting may have been removed when I put the other, older ROM on.
Anyone got any ideas what I can do?

Thank you, I will get an SD card and try this later
I followed this guide, However when it was in HBOOT when it was searching it did not load PB99IMG and it didnt look for a PB99IMG.
Also in HBOOT it says Touch Panel - Fail if this helps?
Edit again
I changed the name to PC49IMG.zip which seems to be what it looks for but this doesnt work either?

May be I should leave it to more experienced people here. I never had any issue when I rooted my phone. Cant help you more than this.

[Q] Stuck on HTC screen (More info inside)

So, I have this Droid Incredible 2 from a Co-worker that I said I would try and fix for him. He knew I was a little better at trying to fix stuff like this since I've done all this stuff before on my Droid Incredible and Motorola Xoom Wifi.
The Problem:
When starting the phone like normal it gets stuck at the HTC screen.
What I've tried so far:
- PG32IMG.zip (Stock 2.3.4) Starts going through the process and then sticks at "Updating Recovery"
- Recovery will start and continues to say "Updating software from Verizon Wireless," but then turns to the red warning sign with the android guy.
Other Important Info:
- S-ON
- HBOOT-0.98.0000
- Android Version 2.3.4
- Can't get the phone to show up in "ADB Devices" on PC, but I can get my Droid Incredible and Xoom too.
I looked for hours on multiple sites and always came up short with the solution being to either have S-Off or turn on USB debugging. Both of which wont work because I cant get that far.
Anyone have any ideas? (I've been a lurker on these forums for a while now and I've usually found what I needed here)

See if you can downgrade the phone. That will reset it to bootloader .97.

Check your software version first. Are you on the 6.x software?

OK, the only thing is I couldnt tell you because the phone wont even get past the white HTC boot screen so I can't even get into that option or anything else like it for that matter. The only thing I have to work with is the bootloader menu (HBOOT, FASTBOOT, RECOVERY (Doesnt work), etc.)
I guess just one day it just stopped when he tried loading a random rom on it.

sorry, I can't read. delete this.

I've tried my droid incredible cord, my xoom cord, my lumia 900 cord, and the stock one he gave me. They work on all my other devices, so it's down to this incredible 2 being a pain.
I somehow got my computer to notice the device as "My HTC" under device manager by putting it in "fastboot usb." Doing so and running the downgrade hack I get the following in the cmd window and it looks to be stalled:
C:\vwhk-12102011-c>fastboot oem rebootRUU
...
If I'm right doesn't the device have to be in debugging mode before the computer will show the device under "adb devices?" (Which as I said wont happen because I can only work with the bootloader menu)

take the sdcard out of the phone put it in an adapter, plug it into the sd slot on computer and transfer the ruu to the card that way, then put back in phone

Tried it both ways for kicks (Main Version is Older through HBOOT and C:\vwhk-12102011-c>fastboot oem rebootRUU ... again).
And yes I put both a copy of the RUU changed too PG32IMG and another one with RUU_Vivo_W_Gingerbread_S_VERIZON_WWE_2.18.605.3_Radio_1.09.01.0622_NV_VZW1.92_release_199487_signed on the sd card, once again just for kicks.

what ruu are you trying to put in? it has to be the latest or the 2.3.4 with .98 hboot, then you can run the downgrade tool. also the bootloader has to be locked, if it is unlocked, you must relock, ( i don;t know all your circumstances so i'm just trying to narrow it down)
you can get that ruu from jellybellies or condemned soul on here somewhere

Well now I'm trying to use the newest from jellybellies (2.3.4 w/ .98 HBOOT), but the downgrade tool stops in the same place and when trying to run the update through the bootloader it stalls and freezes at "[2] RECOVERY - Updating."
The bootloader is locked as it's highlighted in pink on the very top as well.
I do appreciate all the help from everyone so far.

Well buddy i don't know if your running the downgrade tool you must have gotten the ruu installed, here's another thing i found out, it's better to run the downgrade on a 32bit system, i had trouble on a 64bit, then tried on my other computer and it went. you could try a different computer, sometimes it works.
also, you must run as administrator, remove any sync stuff like htc sync or itunes, and disable virus program, friggin itunes will mess you up

So, I gave up on the other methods for now and decided to try the HTC Unlocker Utility for the hell of it. I get all the way to the end and I cant select "YES." I can only select "NO"

Pull the SD card out to boot. If you have a pc handy, remove the PG32IMG.zip file from your sd. If not, boot without your sd card and use a file manager on your phone to move it out of the base folder of the sd. Your phone wants to install it everytime you reboot whenever it sees that file.
