[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.

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] unrooting the evo

I know theres a bajillion threads out there already on this subject, but i cant find the right answer anyway. Im sending a friends evo back to sprint for a replacement, and have done step one of two in unrooting the evo. I used the unrevoked s-on tool sucessfully and now have the phone with "s-on", but when i try to flash the pc36 file, the phone doesnt seem to read it in the bootloader screen, even though its saved onto the sd-card. I have tried to download a bunch of different files to rule out the possibility of a bad download, but i still get the same thing. In the bootloader screen it still says "no image found" or "wrong file". Any ideas of what to do? Thanks.

Make sure PC36IMG.ZIP is all caps. Other wise it won't work if u need ruu look at my guide in my Sig.

funny how something as simple as changing the name fixes it lol one more thing though. the bootloader tried to update, but the file it was updating was an older one. Can u post up a link for a newer one, and how exactly do u know which RUU to use?

This is what you need man. Hope this helps. Drop me a line if this helps or you need anything else.
http://goo-inside.me/evo/stock/ruu/...15.00.11.19_NV_1.90_release_161482_signed.zip

Got a question man. At the bootloader screen the phone is recognizing the pc36img very briefly, with the blue download bar at the top right of the screen, it loads up, and then it just goes back to the main bootloader screen without asking me to update or anything. whats going on now lol

I'm having the same issue on my phone. It unzips the file, verify's the file and then just goes back to hboot screen. I've tried the RUU exe and it doesn't detect my phone at all.
Any ideas?

That form fixed my problems! Had to download a different PC36IMG to get it working.

the link is broken post a new one plz.

this whole thing is so easy, all i need is the right PC36IMG file. I have tried so many different ones and none of them work! Can someone please post the right link to this thread for the 2.10 hboot?

i have 2.10 hboot n the one in reapers post is the one i used. are u sure the file extension isn't being hidden and ur naming it PC36IMG.ZIP.ZIP?????

i got it fixed guys, i just had everything mixed up with the name and files. for anyone referencing to this page for help make sure the name is PC36IMG.ZIP and matches ur hboot.

[Q] HTC wont boot past parsing

so heres my story.
my brother got water on my HTC desire. it was enough to turn the papers red. so when i try to boot it it says cannot find PB99IMG.zip. so now i have created a gold card and done all that . yada yada yada. but my problem lies here. anytime i attempt to load a PB99IMG file, it loads it, but then the farthest i have gotten to was parsing .............[sd zip] all the bootloader and other such showed up below it. but gets stuck there. any other file ive tryed, it usually gets to checking sd and then fails and goes back to main bootloader. could somone recomend a PB99IMG file that will bring my HTC back to the way it was. its on telus i dont see anything on the phone except HTC so i dont think its branded. somone please help me.

More details about your hardware/software please.

not sure what you mean , but i havn't rooted it or anything . so its stock.

Got phone from any provider or just running htc stock? If second one, download ruu here:
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe
MD5: bae5f3e1bf9f7e2e7d47d5e51254103b
After this, follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10509780&postcount=102

its from telus . if that makes a difference.

so i did as told , it gets to parsing and shows all the bootlaoder and radio stuff but does nothing.

Yes, that makes a difference. You need this one:

thanks for your help its downloading now ill let you know how it turns out

it still does the same thing. i dont get options on whether or not i want to update.

*BUMP* it still sits on parsing and doent ask my to update or anything what else should i do ?

Are your MD5 Hash ok... what is your current ROM and Hboot version.

im really new into this stuff so i dont know if ym md5 hash is ok . but my device is like brand new not rooted or anything just bought it from telus. and hboot is .93.0001

md5 hash means, you check the md5 sum of the file, to get sure the file is not corrupted. For windows you can this one e.g.:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20471345/SUroot/Tools/PC/md5Check.rar
When you use linux, you do not need an extra software. Open command line, navigate to the place where the file you want to check is, and type
Code:
md5sum file.exe
File.exe is just a placeholder, replace it with the name of your file.

Can you tell how did you try this.. I hope you didnt put this file on your sd .. this is a RUU file..
Switch off your mobile.. and switch it on by.. Volume down and power.. after that connect USB cable .. and from ur PC run the RUU.exe file.

i ran the RUU and found the rom.zip file in my temp and put that on my sd card.

connect to USB and run the RUU.. it will give you exact error code.

it said it couldnt find the phone ;as if it wasn't connected.

by installing drivers does that mean downloading and installing sdk ?

[Q] [SOLVED] Desire CDMA ADR6275 Bricked ! (GSM Radio Brick)

I was trying to Hboot different table and some radio and I accidently brick my phone.
When I try to turn it on it just vibrates for a second and nothing shows up just blank black screen. Help ME Please !
I have managed to show the info in the fastboot commander. I can flash radio h-boot spl and recovery here. I can shut down phone from this software and it shows charging light as well.
But still blank on boot. Can any body help me to make it usable

Sorry to say, but I think you bricked it. You can't flash GSM radios and partition tables to the CDMA Desire.

Is there any way that I can unbrick it ?

Hmm... i dont know when its CDMA.but i think this may fix it. Okay you need to download fastboot commander from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193915
then you need to download official htc desire RUU it may work for CDMA too (i think) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193915 download the "HTC Desire Android 2.3 Upgrade"
Allright now you got the downloads. You also need Java and the HTC driver if you dont got that. Pull battery out of your phone and set it back again. Connect your phone to your pc (dont turn it on you shold just hear that sound when windows found your device) open fastboot commander program on your pc and go to the tab "boot, sys and userdata" mark all the stuff you can and press remove or something like that
Your phone is only a black screen when you turn it on, dont worry. Open the RUU program now and follow the instructions to revert to android 2.3. I hope that helpe if not let me know what didnt worked and i may help you a little more.

Not if its really bricked, such as a radio brick, which you more than likely have.
You can try flashign a CDMA RUU like suggested above, but keep your fingers crossed.

I'm pretty sure even flashing a different SPL from alpharev would've done a great job of bricking it...

Yes it probably would

Before doing anything that u guyz have suggested would this thing help that i got? This is RUU_Bravo_C_Froyo_USCC_WWE_2.11.573.5_Radio_2.15.00.11.16_release_168495_signed.exe which is sized 171mb. I dounloaded it. What is this thing anyway. Could anyone explain ?
I got it from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=947961

its an RUU (Rom Upgrade Utility) to upgrade the rom.

What was a guy who doesnt know what an RUU is, doing flashing Hboots?

will u tell me if it has to do anything to make my phone work ?

Like we said earlier, you can try. We can't tell you if it will work o not as your phone may be bricked. However, it should give you failure codes, which may give us more information.
Theres no harm in trying. It probably is bricked anyway.

Good thing about Alpharev hboot is that they lock it so that one doesnt accidentally flash a wrong hboot.. See if you can get into hboot mode (Vol- Power)...If it's still black, use the PB99IMG.zip method of flashing RUUs.. I wont elaborate. They are a dozen threads on it do/
Don't flash an ruu now.

I'm not sure how to fix your problem but I don't believe it's bricked. It is sooo hard to brick these things. I have thought a million times that mine was bricked, just be patient search forums (not just xda) and read a lot. That's the beautiful thing about the internet. You are bound to find many people that have gone through what you are and have fixed it. I will look a little for you but i'm not on that much so I don't know how much help that can be. If your search doesn't provide useful information try changing your keywords. I'll post again later tonight with what I have found if you haven't figured it out already. Good luck.

This RUU is giving me error 110 Cant open file when it is on 60-70 %. I downloaded it forn HTC support the other time and againg the same error. Then I tried to do another RUU from alltel but this gave me error that this was not supported. Help !

Did you flash RUU via computer or via SD card?

You need to reflash with the original RUU, you can find some RUUs from here: http://www.filefactory.com/f/7cc7b2fbdd03c031/
THIS PROCESS NEEDS A RELOCKED PHONE. (fastboot oem lock).
edit: the RUU for your version isnt published already. You need to wait for the RUU, Why can you use an older version? You can't because the DOWNGRADE isn't posible with S-ON.

If you know what file you modified, maybe extract it from a similar ROM and adb push it?

if youve edited the build.prop without backing it up first then quite simply youre asking for trouble....
ALWAYS Nandroid and back up anything before altering it.
If you can access download mode then your safe, just connect up usb for fastboot and run a downloaded RUU, if youre not sure what rom to get then id try HTC EUROPE ones they first, these are probably the most common ones.

i will backup the file to PC in next time when i edit any system file...... i have learn a lesson

Yer try not to mess with the build.prop, i know its fun to tinker and see what can be achieved, but there is also a serious risk that comes with it, unfortunatley the file will stop your phone dead if you mess it up, if you save a backup to your pc then worst case you can push it to your phone via adb and overwrite the damaged one.
What CID are u on, eg, htc--001 ??, cidgetter works from market but not much use if you cant boot up, also what firmware are you running now, release, radio and release keys, that way you could extract the boot, recovery and system from the file and just flash them in bootloader.
YOU must relock your bootlock first, the above command in other post was the one to do that, if not, have u tried to flash CWM 5.8.3.1, and install from the recovery youll get both the super su and a custom rom, like android revolution, this way youll be back up and running on a custom rom based on the latest 1.29, you could then download the 1.29 ruu and run it, again after relocking the bootloader and for good measure download and install htcsync, the program delivers a much better driver for the one x, that should get you back to factory, unrooted, stock boot and firmware.
if the ruu isnt avail, find out what your latest ruu is and look for a custom rom based on that.
Keep us informed how you get on, im sorry you learnt the lesson the hard way, i would not wish this to happen to anyone, except for maybe Bill Gates lmao, but then he would just throw it in the bin and go buy another one ha ha.
I hope you get it sorted and remember, before you tinker, READ the guides on XDA, they are good and will really help you and always make a backup of anything you wish to experiment with.
Good luck.

If you still remember the file, try to get it from someone with the same version as you and push it through adb or recovery (if you can go to hboot, surely you can flash cwm again).

anyway hope it helps.
Basically what i did was force the recovery to be install on my phone.. but there is a down side.. me alarm doesn't work.. everytime i try to change the alarm sound it just reboot... i am still trying to find a way to fix it... and maybe flash the 1.28 RUU to see if that will work.... but that will have to wait until tonite.
