Hi
I've hit a problem while trying to root my device. Unrevoked does it's thing, the phone reboots, but then Unrevoked reports that it's lost connection to the device and that I should try again.
I've made sure that my default USB connection type is HTC Sync.
Any ideas?
Many thanks
Some tips for other users that have problems that I've overcome:
- When you get the Internal Error from Unrevoked 3 trying to load the image, make sure you have enough space your Desire's (ridiculously tiny) app storage.
- When the phone is on the boot screen but not going any further in 5 minutes, you probably still need to install the custom usb driver on your windows machine. Get it here: http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install

Your default connection type has to "only load" and "never ask". Furthermore, you have to check "unknown sources" under settings>applications.

Thanks, by "only load" you mean "charge only"? If so, I've had it on charge only but unrevoked just stays on "Waiting for Device" until I switch to HTC SYnc.
Unkown sources are ticked for sure.
Have you uninstalled HTC sync?

Yes, i meant "charge only". The driver still has to be there. Try to set the connection type to "storage" (or something like that).

Not connecting at all under anything but HTC Sync.
And have you installed the custom usb driver? Also HTC Sync should not be installed when running Unrevoked3.

Yep I'm doing exactly that, and everything works until it comes back after the last boot, unrevoked waits for the system to "settle down" then "rooting..." displays for 1/2 second, then Unrevoked reports that there was an unexpected communications break with the phone.

Okay, maybe linux can do the work for you:
1.) Download ubuntu version 32-bit (not the 64-bit version, needed drivers are missing):
http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download
2.) Burn the downloaded image on cd and start your computer from it (only the test version, do not install it)
3.) Download unrevoked for linux (in firefox download window set "open with archiv manager"):
http://downloads.unrevoked.com/recovery/3.32/reflash.tar.gz
4.) Drag and drop the file "reflash" to desktop
5.) Set phone correctly:
- applications>check "unknown sources"
- applications>development>check "usb debugging"
- set connection type to "charge only" and uncheck to ask for connection
6.) Reboot phone; sometimes, when the phone runs too long, some processes "drive crazy"
7.) Start terminal in ubuntu:
applications>accessories>terminal and type
Code:
cd Desktop
sudo ./reflash
running reflash needs admin rights
8.) Connect phone to computer and then
WAIT.... WAIT... WAIT

I'm starting to realise that... Irony is one of the reasons for rooting is for the backup!
Mother of everything sacred! I've just done a factory reset sacrificing hours of app installation and config, and STILL unrevoked doesnt work!! It just says communications lost unexpectedly after the first boot.
Going to sit in a corner for a while.
I ran it thrice and suddenly it worked the Ubuntu way.
I have a problem with doing Unrevoked root for my HTC Desire.

Looks like i managed to brick it, any help possible to restory factory defaults?

From memory the phone had to be rooted prior to attempting the S-OFF.
The two procedures are unrelated if the problem is the rooting then how far did you get with it? again from memory a goldcard isn't required for the unrevoked procedure(happy for someone to jog my memory).
If is S-OFF then the issue I had was that I was running a custom ROM which caused the procedure to fail. I just restored an earlier backup through CWM/recovery and alpharev S-OFF went through flawlessly.

I used the Unrevorked option and it did root my phone. After that, I followed the procedure and went to do Alpha Rev. I burned their image to CD, booted my computer and after booting from CD it found my desire. Procedure started but stopped in the middle.
So, now I can access Hboot and ClockWorkRecovery (I have SD card with CWM 2.5.0.7 and second with 3.x.x.x version) but not boot the phone anymore. Nothing to restore from the card either, I tried backup/restore with CWM, nothing is there. PVT4 S-ON is still enabled. When I boot my phone and go into CWM I get following errors:
Can't find MISC: Can't mount CACHE:recovery/command
Can't find MISC: Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log
I can see from this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814381 (step 3) that I should be able to just copy the Rom on my SD card and install the zip. So I copied several roms to try. This is what I used and errors I got:
a) Cool-Z-V9.zip

I've read a few times that CWM is not good enough and that I should go to Amon, but I don't know how to do that. Did try the method from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814381 (A2SD part) but it isn't working for me. I do this:
fastboot-windows flash recovery what-you-called-amonra-recovery.img
And I get FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
Several posts http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-992114.html say I should update CWM - but if I try that (install zip from sd card) i again get can't mount cache.
It's probably something I'm missing, but it is too much for a novice like me. Help appreciated. (mounting cache but I have no clue how to do it)
Woah! Woah! LOL no need to install Linux to root!
Try this:
First, S-OFF your Desire using AlpharevX (already used to S-OFF friends Wildfire), in the process, it will prompt you whether you wish to install Alpharev's custom recovery, choose yes.
Once you've done that, boot into recovery, BACKUP YOUR CURRENT ROM, and install whichever ROM you downloaded! Easy!
Damn! Always too late, just read you managed to root it, ah well, maybe someone else will need this ^

Hi All
Sorry if this has been resolved before but I can't see the solution.
I have just got hold of an HTC Wildfire that's stuck on Fastboot:
BUZZ PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.80.007
MICROP-0622
TOUCH PANEL-ATMELC03_16ac
RADIO-3.35.15.31
Aug 9 2010,22:37:43
Lets assume its never been rooted - what are my options
Currently none of the buttons work in Fastboot.
When I hold the power and volume down it enters HBOOT but as before non of the buttons or touch sensor works, tho if I plug in the usb cable it changes to HBOOT USB PLUG.
Any ideas on how I can bring it back to life?
TiA
I.
I am definitely lost here. I have no idea what you mean by "Stuck at Fastboot". Fastboot is a special mode enabled when you S-OFF the device using AlphaRev / Revolutionary, which allows special Fastboot commands, previously only allowed on engineering sample devices and developer devices. AFAIK, there is no such thing as "Fastboot" on a never rooted HTC Wildfire.
Anyway, it seems everything is in order (Because, I dont know what happens when you are trying to turn on the phone normally). But, note that when in HBOOT mode, you have to wait a while for the phone to scan through the sdcard for PC49IMG files. Once the scan is over, only then you can navigate through it. Also, navigation is achieved using the side volume buttons, and, to select an entity, use the power button. No other button, and the touch will not respond in the HBOOT Mode, and it is normal.
Now, assuming your device is not booting, try installing the Stock ROM over it again, but since installing an RUU will not be possible since the device is not booting, you will have to extract the ROM.zip from one.
- Download the Froyo WWE 2.22.405.1 RUU from here - (It is an EXE File) - http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Buzz
- Extract the ROM.zip file from the RUU. Follow this method (Assuming you have a Windows PC) http://lukasz.szmit.eu/2010/04/extracting-rom-files-from-htc-android.html
- Once you have that file, rename it to PC49IMG.zip, place on your SDCard, then reboot in HBOOT mode. It will attempt to install the ROM itself. Remember again, only use the Power button to select stuff in HBOOT mode, and side volume keys to navigate.
Thanks for the reply: Sorry I failed to report that the device jumps straight to HBOOT from power on. Downloading the required files I'll do an update once the steps have been followed.
UPDATE:
Loading PC49IMG.zip
Checking PC49IMG.zip
CID incorrect!
Update FAIL!
Press <POWER> to reboot.
It's going to need a Goldcard in that case. Create one using this guide:
http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard/
Alternately, use this GUI App to that:
http://android.modaco.com/topic/308798-pc-application-goldcardtool/
Thanks but correct me if I am wrong but don't you need to have a working Wildfire to generate a Gold card? (debug mode on)
Got an interesting update,
As I'm getting CID error's I'm guessing its down to the phone being a branded model.
Looking at the Phone, I ruled out Orange and Virgin as they usually plaster their logo all over the the phone.
Did I few keyword searches with keywords from the Part number and other digits on the box.
It started to look like a H3G (Three) Phone.
Using the link above I downloaded:
RUU_Buzz_H3G_UK_1.16.771.2_Radio_13.45.55.24_3.35.15.31_release_131501_signed.exe (Eclair version)
Followed the steps and above and it gave me the following error:
Main Version is older!
Update Fail!
So success! (well sort off). does anyone have a H3G (Three) UK signed Froyo image (exe) RUU?
Thanks
I.
There is an OTA update.zip available for H3G UK. Look for this file on Shipped ROMs:
OTA_Buzz_Froyo_H3G_UK_2.33.771.1-1.26.771.1_release_163490jq8do89dc3y83p6w.zip
Now, I am not 100% certain on how to install this, since I personally have never tried it, but, try this procedure nevertheless.
- Download that file
- Rename to update.zip
- Then, place it on your SDCard
- Reboot in HBOOT mode
- Navigate to RECOVERY in HBOOT Mode, Press Power button. This will show you a red triangle with an exclamation mark
- Now, Press VOL UP + POWER simultaneously, this should take you to the Stock Recovery
- Here, select apply SD:update.zip. It will again automatically attempt to update the ROM.
Again thanks for your help... I'm so close
Remember none of the keys are responsive even waiting for the timeout of the loading.
Also using a different method I've think I've created a goldcard. (If it works I'll post how I did it.)
What do I do once I have a goldcard?
What file should I be looking to install?
A generic WWE one in that case, (Froyo WWE 2.22.405.1 as I linked earlier, or, Eclair 1.37.405.1, both available as EXE's)
Remember though, Goldcards are device specific. But, the defective keys are indeed a problem. In such a case, I guess the only method that remains is the one I posted in post #2
Good Luck
FECK!
So if my goldcard was working, using the extraction rom.zip process in Step 2 it would override the CID incorrect issue, am I correct?
Currently I am still getting the same error message...
Back to the drawing board...
Yes, that is about correct. Also, some sdcards do not like being made into goldcards, so, if possible, try with another. (If even after retrying, it doesn't work)
Well I'm one step closer...
Created a Goldcard and I was able to install the ROM.zip it reported that it worked, however when I powered the unit back on it went straight back for fastboot....
:/
Are you sure it's an undamaged phone? Now it seems that it's sort of damaged. (Board / button damage). The RUU flash should have solved any software issues, because, as you verified, it did flash successfully.
BTW, can you tell me which RUU you flashed, and what do you get as the first few lines of HBoot? (Which initially was Buzz PVT SHIP S-ON, HBOOT 0.80.0007... etc)?
Checked all the buttons - seem to be ok, I can hear the micro switches clicking:
It has been updated:
HBOOT-1.01.0001
MICROP-0622
RADIO-3.35.20.10
Downloading SUnAaBh v1.1 will see if that will work.
You can't flash Sunaabh / Other ROM's using this method. Official one's only. The buttons may click, but, if they are not doing what they are intended to do, it's obviously damaged,
Hmm, ok can I force a clockworkmod flash?
It's going to need the S-OFF exploit by Revolutionary to push Clockworkmod Recovery, which I guess needs USB Debugging on.
http://revolutionary.io/
Well
Volume down and power button works - otherwise it would not have gone into HBOOT and Volume up button works otherwise I would not have been able to start the flash.
Def a strange one...
See if you can do a "Clear Storage" in HBoot, although it's not going to help, it's worth a shot IMO.
BTW, doesn't the phone automatically enter in HBoot when you turn on just using the Power key?
Rooted my desire way last year and have enjoyed using a number of roms since...
Yesterday I quick look at a couple of the ICS roms, which were nice but clearly not ready for primetime, so started to look at a more recently update gb rom to replace the update-oxygen-2.3.2-Bravo-signed.zip that I've been using.
The MildWild V-3.0 xperia Launcher & MildWild V-3.0A Launcher2 look liked a decent bet, but of course failed as I hadnt read through the whole post and failed to take into account "do a clean installing and please keep in mind the ROM is to big for the oxygen hboot use CM7r2 Hboot"
What is the process for updating the HBOOT?
Here is the steps I taken so far, but without much sucess
Jumped over to http://alpharev.nl/ and followed the precess there, booting into fastboot I now see:
--- AlphaRev ---
BRAVO PVT3 SHIP S-OFF

So I'm assuming that this is done correctly and I just have to now grab the required HOOT files and update - this is where I get a little lost
I have grabbed bravo_alphaspl-cm7r2.img.zip & PB99IMG_cm7r2.zip
renaming PB99IMG_cm7r2.zip to PB99IMG.zip, drop onto sdcard and started the phone in HBOOT to flash the HBOOT, but this gives me
CID incorrect!
Update Fail
Have doubled checked using a file manager that the isnt named PB99IMG.zip.zip as some suggest
and have tried to follow this post here but am at a complete loss with it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14668785&postcount=2575
installed the HTC USB Drivers
Installed the Android SDK Manager and have the Google USB Driver package, Android SDK & Platform Tools installed...
then boot into BOOTLOADER, connect phone... and ... no idea, not sure what my PC is supposed to do or if there is a console I can open must have missed something as I just cant seem to workout "Then you boot your phone into bootloader, connect it to your pc and select the downloaded hboot-drivers."
Am sure there is something just outta reach, any help appreciated
You're on the stock sized hboot, so you dont actually NEED to change it for any of these ROMS.
Best bet is using fastboot flash from your PC IMHO. Flash the .img file. Read the adb and fastboot faq in my signature (Skipping the ADB bit as this is nto relevant here)
Hi guys, wonder if you can help me. I have a HTC Desire (GSM) and rooted it, removed UK O2 branding and putting Froyo (2.2) on it and a new radio and Clockwork Mod Recovery. I messed around - thought I’d bricked it following a dodgy flash, as couldn't boot, get into recovery or anything, with the phone looping at the HTC logo and powering on until I took the battery out.
Thought I’d look at it today and made progress, but still can’t get a RUU to install on it. I can get into Recovery menu via bootloader and I think the SDcard is a goldcard. Issues I have are:
• I can’t flash a RUU onto the phone from running the file through Windows, as I constantly get an Error 170 USB Connection error. I’ve tried reinstalling HTC Sync, trying different versions, tried a different USB cable and port. I’ve tried running HTC Sync as Admin, and in compatibility mode under XP SP 2 and updated the driver in Control Panel and it displays as “My HTC”, nothing works. I am running Windows 7 64 Bit.
• I tried putting the RUU onto the phone as a PB99IMG.zip file and running it through Recovery, but I get a message saying “bad file”
• As soon as I put a file onto the SD card, Ext3 then won’t mount with an error message and I have to repartition the SD card in Windows (Using Mini-tool Partition Wizard). The error I get is "can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (File exists) error mounting /sd-ext/!” I can fix it, but soon after it is fixed it reverts back to error it I add any files to root of the SD card to run through Recovery.
I just want to get the phone back working, whether it is branded or unbranded, and whatever RUU I can get working on it. Can anyone advise the steps I can take from here please?
My stats/versions are:
HBoot 0.93.0001
Radio 5.09.00.08
ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.7
S=On
Thanks,
Stewart
Tried downloading the RUU again? I recommend to check md5sum afterwards.
Sent from Sandvold's ICS using Transparent XDA App
Thanks MatDroid, I've managed to get past the 171 error and now getting a 131 error, saying it is the incorrect ROM. Is there somewhere I can get confirmation of the correct ROM for my device and check MD5sum before loading?
I would look at putting on another recovery, something like 4ext touch. Google it, your current clockwork recovery is pretty dated. Look at a program called android flasher, and you will be able to flash a new recovery through that.
Once you get the new recovery working, there is an option to toggle USB storage in which you can put your custom from on the SD card. Once the custom from is on your SD card, flash it through recovery. Hopefully it should work
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
you should really look at my guide, you don't flash RUU zip files through recovery.
just realised you are s- on so android flasher won't work. Therefore until you s-off your phone, as mattdroid said you may have a bad download for the ruu. Try downloading ruu again nd running the exe file

Yeah just realised that too sorry for the wrong information. he is only wanting a ruu which of course is not done through recovery with the exe file. Custom rom is a different story.

Thanks guys I've figured it out and have now succesfully got the phone working.
Issues were:
I was trying to flash the wrong RUU (a 2.09 instead of 2.10) so when flashing it was rejecting as a lower version. Using the right RUU worked
My SDcard wasn't a goldcard - I thought it was but apparently not. I re-created the goldcard and it worked
I was trying to flash from the wrong place - instead of through FastBoot USB I was going into Clockwork Mod and loading files, mucking around with the mountings and things like that
All great now, so thanks again.

Hi everybody, first of all many thanks for a great forum. I have found it very useful in the past and never needed to seek help, but this time I am stumped and although I read pretty well all the threads on the subject I have not been able to solve my problem and I fear I have a paper weight on my hands.
My Desire does not boot up and stays on the HTC logo on a white screen for ever. This happened after a stupid and unresearched attempt to downgrade my Hboot from 1.03 to earlier ones with RUU_Bravo_H3G_UK_1.20.771.3_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_124822.exe.
The process worked fine but my Desire never managed to reboot and got stuck on the opening logo.
I can go into HBOOT USB PLUG and I can charge the battery (the led comes on and eventually goes green). The HBoot screen reads:
LOCKED (00W)
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT - 1.03.0003
TOUCH PANEL - SYNT0101
RADIO - 4.05.00.11

I can do FASTBOOT DEVICES and get
HT06XPL00452 fastboot
but any other operation with fastboot always gives me:
FAILED (status malformed (1 bytes)
Does anybody know what this means?
I also tried:
** to rerun the official RUU but I get a clearly wrong message saying that the battery is below 30% charge and the program stops.
** several other RUUs with same result except RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2_29_405_5_Radio_32_49_00_32U_5_11_05_27_release_159811_signed.exe which leads to ERROR [170]: USB CONNECTION ERROR. I know the USB Hboot drivers are ok and are those I downloaded from XDA. Device manager shows "Android composire interface"
** select RECOVERY but it goes immediately into the white screen aith HTC logo and gets stuck
** select CLEAN STORAGE . When I answer "Yes to Delete all user data?" it confirms "clear..." and then gets stuck on the log screen
** select SIMLOCK and get
FAT32 init OK
Open MCCMNC file fail
Open CID file fail
Has anybody got any other ideas? Should I just give up and use it as paperweight?

Many thanks eddiehk. The RUUs I had tried before came from shippedroms.com too but I cannot find any for the Desire (nor for the Bravo) with 2.3.3 nor WWW in their name. Do you have a specific link? I have just tried yet another one for luck but got the same result as before "battery less then 30%" which is not!:crying:
The PB88IMG.zip method cannot work for me as I cannot get to write to the system nor the sdcard as the phone does not boot up. I have read a bortak's guide, but it seem to be only for S-OFF setups and it also seems to be only for rooted phones. Mine is not rooted and it has S-ON.
Any other ides anybody?

"HTC_Desire_Android_2.3_Upgrade.zip" at the bottom
I meant "PB99IMG.zip" method sorry. It should and will work. It does not require the phone to be booted up. It only requires you to copy it to the root of the sdcard (use a card reader). Then boot into bootloader (volume down + power), wait a few seconds, then accept. All in the guide
Or search how to downgrade hboot 1.03 in these forums, I've seen it successfully done on a few occasions.

I meant "PB99IMG.zip" method sorry. It should and will work. It does not require the phone to be booted up. It only requires you to copy it to the root of the sdcard (use a card reader). Then boot into bootloader (volume down + power), wait a few seconds, then accept. All in the guide
Or search how to downgrade hboot 1.03 in these forums, I've seen it successfully done on a few occasions.

Many thanks again. Unfortunately I got no further. I downloaded the PB99IMG_Bravo_Froyo_HTCCN_CHS_CU_2.35.1402.5_Radio_32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17_release_163341_signed.zip file from the url you indicated. There were several PB99IMG... and picked one at random. None had the same radio as what was indicated on my Hboot screen by the way. Anyway given the lack of success I suspect it wouldn't have made any difference which one I picked. I then copied it to the root of the sd card using my PC and kept my fingers firmly crossed when I went into bootloader. After a brief moment I saw a subliminal message about checking something but could not read the rest. It then went back to the now very boring Hboot screen with the normal commands "fastboot;recovery;clear storage and simlock".:crying:
Then I tried to use the Universal Android AIO flasher and could see some messages. Trying to flash something in fastboot mode always gave this message:
"(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)"
It does look like something is very screwed up on the internal card and might need a total reformatting. Is it possible or am I barking at the wrong tree?
LATEST UPDATE
OK, I am officially an idiot.
The reason why the .zip file did not work was that I had not changed its name to PB99IMG.ZIP. I did that and hey presto got it to reload the firmware,
As I ended up with a Chinese carrier version I would now like to change it again to a European version preferably a no carrier version. How can I find out which version to pick and which one is the latest version on the ShippedRom site?
In the meantime many many many thanks for all the help. It is so great to have this forum to help all the newbies like me.

You got a Chinese ROM version because you ignored my advice......
You get the "European version preferably no carrier version" by actually reading my previous post..................
I even quoted the name and location of the correct RUU to use..............

I am sorry for being dim, I reread your earlier posting and finally understood it. I will now try the correct .zip file. Thanks again
