Is possible use a goldcard? - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Some one know if we can downgrade with PC10IMG.zip with a goldcard. Because my g2 is post ota and locked to htc screen without adb access.
Thank you

Yes, you can. The whole procedure is documented at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831398 .
However, in order to downgrade, assuming you don't already have S-OFF, you will need access to the data on the phone. If you are saying it won't boot then you may have a problem. Can you get into recovery ? Can you get into hboot ?
You could try the gold card on its own but I don't think that will be enough, I think the version editing in that procedure is needed as well.

Yes I can get into recovery and flash the ota update (the phone already have ota before) but adb say "device offline".
I can enter into hboot and fastboot.
I'm S-ON
I don't want to throw away 400 usd argh.....

What about if in CMD you do...
fastboot devices
If it shows your s/n you could possibly do
fastboot oem rebootRUU
this should bring up "fastboot usb" on screen,... then run the RUU?
BUT NOT 100% sure sorry. Do at your own risk blah blah blah.........

yes fastboot oem rebootRUU work but same problem try to flash pc10img.zip from pc via command line, say "main version is older" and there isn't a RUU.exe for G2 and the desire-z RUU don't work for cid checking

I presume a factory reset from recovery doesn't help, have you tried that ?

Yes I try but doesn't help.
All this after use visionary........
For one time I take the easyest way not the safest....

[Q] Revolutionary Rooted stuck in boot loop no recovery

Help. My phone is stuck in a boot loop. No recovery, won't take one even when I flash multiple ways. Won't take a rom. S-off. Was rooted with Revolutionary, but since it wouldn't take a ROM or recovery I tried to unroot. Was able to remove the "Revolutionary" watermark, change hboot from 6.16 to 2.16.0001. Tried installing ruu which is what removed the Revolutionary and changed back hboot.
Here's what I have now:
Supersonic evt2-3 ship s-off
hboot 2.16.0001
Radio 2.15.00.0808
Any help! Thanks.
Looks you might have to get a PC36IMG.zip on your sdcard and then flash that through bootloader
Ideally, put on a froyo PC36IMG so that rerooting is easier if you want to do it again
So what happens when you try to select Recovery from Hboot?
The advice is free....the bandwidth, not so much
Still boot looping...

All I get is the white "HTC EVO 4G" boot screen. When I flash a custom recovery, everything goes as expected, but still can't access recovery.
You will have to go through all the bootloader ruu's till you find the one that works. Good luck I had the same issue and ended up selling it on eBay and the buyer finally got it working.

Ok. I tried every ruu I could find. Problem remains. Also, s-off never turns to s-on. Tried flashing contents of stock rom separately. Everything appears to flash ok, but same result: no recovery, no rom. Any ideas?
What I think I need is a method to nand unlock via fastboot or hboot. Anyone know of such a thing? Anyone have any other ideas? Besides what I've already done? Thanks...

S-off is nand-unlocked...run an ruu (any version), as soon as it opens, press windowsKey+R and type "%temp%" then *enter
Now sort the files by date modified and search in the most recent folders for a file called "rom.zip", as soon as you find that copy it to your desktop
Rename the rom.zip to "PC36IMG.zip" and place it on the root of your phones sdcard (you may need to reformat your sdcard to FAT32, make a backup if you need to do this)
Now put the sdcard in your phone, pull out the battery and go into bootloader (VolDown+Power) , the bootloader should find it and commence the update process back to stock unrooted, follow the prompts and press power when necessary
Okay, tried that...

Tried your method using the rom from an ruu. Still s-off, although everything appeared to have updated. I've done this previously, but not extracting the rom.zip from an ruu. Each time the hboot updates, or downgrades, depending on the ruu, but s-off remains. No rom, no recovery...
Next...
Sometimes the problem is solved by wiping the recovery partition first, and then re-flashing it. To do that, you would need a Hboot where you could run fastboot commands, since you cannot boot into a Rom.
You can try upgrading your Hboot, then unlocking the bootloader using the Htcdev site, so that you can run the fastboot commands. If it fails on the new Hboot, then it can probably be flashed back to whatever Hboot you have, since you're S-OFF.
I've included the Hboot file that you would need for the upgrade. You would first run the PC36IMG file throught the bootloader, then reboot the phone. If the Hboot changes, then you should go to the Htcdev site and try to unlock the bootloader.
There are some other steps that follows, but there's no point of giving them to you now and complicating things unless the initial steps work first.

Ok. This didn't work. I was able to flash the hboot, but fastboot commands did not work. I can unlock, and relock the bootloader, flash any ruu, but s-off remains, and still unable to flash a rom or recovery.
Try this and see what happens: Unzip the fastboot.zip file in side a folder on your computer and place the recovery.img file in that same folder on your computer, then open a command prompt from that folder (shift + right click+"open command window here"). From the FASTBOOT USB menu on the phone (Hboot + click on FASTBOOT): type
fastboot erase recovery <ENTER>
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img <ENTER>
fastboot reboot-bootloader <ENTER>

HELP: After HBOOT flash screen doesn't turn on, can still fastboot commands

Well after about 20+ hours spent looking online and tinkering with my phone I have arrived at this point. I have been trying to install a custom rom with no success. I have rooted and S-OFF my phone with revolutionary. I have installed 4ext recovery. I have been trying to install the cm 10.1 rom and/or the paranoidandroid rom. No success on either one, I always got the status 7 error. After looking online I found that status 7 relates to the wrong HBOOT, so I flashed the the stock HBOOT from alpharev.nl and now my phone's screen won't turn on for any mode(normal boot, hboot, fastboot) it's just a black screen. The phone does "turn on" because my pc can see that it's there and it vibrates. I can also send fastboot commands to the phone.
Does anyone know of this problem and how to fix it? I've tried to flash different HBOOTS and ROMS and Recovery but with no success, it always says "out of memory" or a different error. Also I tired doing SUU but it always says I have the wrong model phone.
I just tried fastboot flash hboot bravo_downgrade.img(from alpharev.nl)
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
then I ran RUU from shipped-roms.com it was the HTC_Desire_Android_2.3_Upgrade.exe
gives me "error 130 model id error"
Anyone?

the downgrader isn't actually an hboot, it's just a way of 'unlocking' an hboot like cm7r2 which can't be overwritten by RUU.
flash the stock hboot again, then run the 2.3.3 RUU.
I repeated the same process as in the previous post except replacing the downgrader with the stock boot and received the error. The RUU starts to work and the progress bar at the top says "sending" but then just stops and gives the error. I am not very knowledgeable about android OS so basically I am out of ideas at this point.

Can you boot into bootloader and confirm what it says on the top line please?
Have you tried the 2.3.3 RUU by PB99IMG.zip method?
Try bortak's troubleshooting guide, step 7, ignore the bit about goldcard for now. You basically need to extract the rom from your RUU, rename it to PB99IMG.zip, and put it on the root of your sd card to run from bootloader.

Things that you forgot to mention is BOOT LOADER,is it locked Or unlocked?
it will written above your phone's Hboot -2.00.0027.
If it's unlocked that try locking it back and then run stock RUU the one you were using it in last working stat.
Thanks.
How would i get to know thats its unlocked
Because its not mentioned any where on screen. what I can tell u i its was working every sim card was working on this phone .
I am new to this please if possible explain me in detail :good:

Don't get panic!
It's really easy.....as you may check that i am also new to xda infect i registered on December last month,ever since then i get to know things which i didn't know before so don't worry it will take time but you will know step by step.
As you have mention about S-On and some other detail by pressing volume down and power button.,the same way do it.
first phone should be switched off,and press volume down and power button together,once you see white background with several information regarding your phone's current status.
HBOOT
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
and some others but in that screen look for top on the list it should written locked or relocked,if not then you have to lock it back in order to run any stock RUU.
as you said that any sim card works which means that your phone is unlocked to network. but for now if there is no other issue in your phone than you have to relock the bootloader in order to run STOCK RUU.
without locked boot loader you won't be able to install RUU.
If it stats ***Locked*** than just flash any RUU by double clicking on it.,if not than just follow this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2133336

you can try flashing RUU with the latest or same version as you know that you already using it..but firstly you must find the correct RUU that are suitable with you CIDnum (country ID) of you phone...or else you might using a goldcard method
to check the CIDnum of your phone..your pc must have the latest HTC driver (you can find it here ), and your must already had ADB/ SDK to running android debugging bridge (you can download it minimal ADB from here or download full SDK from here )
after that get your phone to the bootloader n select FASTBOOT then connecting your phone with your pc..then open cmd and change source to your ADB / SDK folder..then typing "fastboot devices" (this is to see connected of your phone to pc)
if success connected..the output will prompt it of your phone serial number..after that you can continue to typing "fastboot getvar all"
then see your CIDnum in the line of output "INFOCID.....XXXX"
hope this help..

that's CID num is for RUU HTC India 3.13.720.2 , but i can't find it anywhere ...
so i think you must using goldcard to flashing another RUU with version above 3.13.720.2

after that..if you still wanna back to the stock again...then you can do it with relock bootloader first then continued to process making a gold card..then flashing the RUU that i give it to you above..
just go to https://www.htcdev.com/ ..don't forget to sign up first..then select unlock bootloader..after that..you must download the latest hboot from there..then extracted the rom.zip from exe..copied to your adb/fastboot.exe folder then update your hboot via fastboot.. with command "fastboot oem rebootRUU" then continued "fastboot flash zip rom.zip" wait until finish..if doesn't automatic reboot just type "fastboot reboot bootloader" then cek your hboot that's already change to hboot 2.00.0029..then you can continued to FASTBOOT mode again..then type "fastboot oem get_identifier_token" ..after you get token...then you can continued to process submit token to htcdev unlock for request unlock.bin from htc to unlock your bootloader..

you don't need HTC sync to do that...just download SDK from here.. and placed in C:\ drive on your pc.
then you continued to step :
1. download your hboot update from here..
2. after you already download your hboot.. running that exe file until next to second step..now you must hold at this point..don't close this..let open
3. open explorer then search the rom.zip file under C:\Users\"your username"\AppData\Local\Temp\ "you will see a lot of folder like this {5917E83E-C23B-491F-9D62-6AB7E6E87DC6} and you must try looking one by one by open it and see there is a file dotnetinstaller.exe inside that folder and had a folder like before too {5917E83E-C23B-491F-9D62-6AB7E6E87DC6}..then open it again that folder..now you can find the rom.zip file in there"
4. copying that rom.zip file to your SDK under platform-tools folder..and turn on your phone again with pressing and hold volume down+power until get inside bootloader then select FASTBOOT mode
5. open cmd change source to your SDK / platform-tools folder then typing "fastboot devices" enter to checking first that your phone is already connected properly
5. typing "fastboot oem rebootRUU" enter
6. "fastboot flash zip rom.zip" enter and wait until finish..
7. now if succes you can continued to the step unlocking your bootloader just following instruction from www.htcdev.com
8. if already success unlock your bootloader..then you can continued installing custom recovery like 4ext recovery (just try searching it on google how to do that)
9. download custom rom..then installing
10. done..enjoy it

3. open explorer then search the rom.zip file under C:\Users\"your username"\AppData\Local\Temp\ "you will see a lot of folder like this {5917E83E-C23B-491F-9D62-6AB7E6E87DC6} and you must try looking one by one by open it and see there is a file dotnetinstaller.exe inside that folder and had a folder like before too {5917E83E-C23B-491F-9D62-6AB7E6E87DC6}..then open it again that folder..now you can find the rom.zip file in there"
4. copying that rom.zip file to your SDK under platform-tools folder..and turn on your phone again with pressing and hold volume down+power until get inside bootloader then select FASTBOOT mode
5. open cmd change source to your SDK / platform-tools folder then typing "fastboot devices" enter to checking first that your phone is already connected properly
5. typing "fastboot oem rebootRUU" enter
6. "fastboot flash zip rom.zip" enter and wait until finish..
7. now if succes you can continued to the step unlocking your bootloader just following instruction from www.htcdev.com
8. if already success unlock your bootloader..then you can continued installing custom recovery like 4ext recovery (just try searching it on google how to do that)
9. download custom rom..then installing
10. done..enjoy it

did you already see the screen white HTC text with black background after execute command "fastboot oem rebootRUU" ?
just try boot to bootloader again...then select FASTBOOT mode..connect it again with your pc..disable it all antivirus..then try running PD9810000_Ace_Sense30_S_hboot_2.00.0029.exe and following the step until finish..

IF that's step above does'n success too..then you can try it..
rename it the rom.zip file that you are already tried to flashing it from fastboot command previously (rename it to PD98IMG.zip)..then copied the file to the root of your sd card..this mean copied just inside your sd card not inside any folder..just using card reader to copied that file..then put it in back again in your phone..then boot to bootloader again with pressing volume down+power then wait until bootloader check the zip file then ask you to update it..
then confirm it with volume UP..wait until finish and ask you to reboot the phone with pressing power button..
hope this can help..

Trying to recover M8 that suddenly stopped allow WiFI/Mobile Signal

I have a barely functioning M8 and I could really do with some help.
A friend gave me his M8 a few weeks ago, the M8 would not boot. It was getting stuck on the boot animation. From what I could tell, I think the device had been interrupted during an update.
The M8 is Europe model, with MM installed. Bootloader was unlocked at HTC.com but is still S-ON. CID is HTC__001 and MID is 0P6B10000
I installed a custom recovery and flashed the latest ARHD. Finally the device booted fine and showed the correct software/baseband etc. in hboot and settings/about phone. Made test calls etc. it worked fine.
A couple of weeks later the guy is back to me saying the phone suddenly stopped sending/receiving signals, wifi no longer turns on and the phone will not acknowledge any SIM that is inserted.
First look shows the baseband, in settings/about phone, now shows "unknown". But booting to the hboot shows the correct radio version.
I went searching XDA/the internet for the MM radio.img but was never able to find it.
So next I looked for the Europe MM RUU, I needed to ensure that the radio was repaired, which I apparently found at this url:
Code:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24369303960687057
it has a file called 0P6BIMG_M8_UL_M60_SENSE70_MR_HTC_Europe_6.12.401.4_Radio_1.29.214500021.12G_20.72.4196t.01_release_464360_signed.zip
Now I have come across several XDA threads that say this file show be renamed to 0P6BIMG.zip put it on the root of the SD card and then boot to hboot where it will automatically find and install it. But with this file, when doing that it says image fail press power to reboot and never installs the file.
Next I came across an XDA thread that said I need to boot the phone into RUU mode and use htc_fastboot to flash the file, having renamed it to RUU.zip. but despite this being a 1.6Gb file it is detected as 53Mb by fastboot and again fails saying the file is corrupt.
I downloaded the file several times and no matter which method I us, it is the same result it will not flash the RUU. I have found a different hoster with the same file, same end result.
I need to fix this poor M8 and at this point I am out of ideas. Please, if any one can offer some advice on fixing this thing, I would appreciate it.
1. Is the bootloader unlocked when you flash the RUU.zip ? It needs a relocked bootloader - command : fastboot oem lock
2. It needs RUU mode to run the RUU.zip - command : fastboot oem rebootRUU

Many thanks for the response.
1) how do I unlock the bootloader once it has been relocked? I believe it is problematic so I have thus far avoided relocking.
2) Yes, the phone was in RUU mode, as my post explained. It had the silver HTC on the screen.
I have already followed that guide and it wasn't successful. I am assuming due to the unlocked bootloader. But as I explained the PC only uploaded 53Mb of a 1.6Gb RUU to the phone, I don't know if that is due to the unlocked bootloader or not.
Do I have any other options to repair the radio (and any other partitions without relocking the bootloader and flashing an RUU ?
Kind regards
A S-On device must have a locked or relocked bootloader in order to install RUU or firmware.zip
Only on S-Off device you don't need to relock bootloader.
To re unlock the bootloader, just fastboot flash the Unlock_code.bin that you can get from htcdev.com
command - fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
You also can try to flash a full signed firmware.zip instead of RUU.zip to see whether that will fix your problem... but still require a relocked bootloader on S-On device. (RUU.zip is highly recommended)
