Hello,
I've just installed HardSPL succesfully, after that I wanted to install MightyRom 4.6, so I did. That went succesfully too according to my computer. Now when i want to switch the phone on, it keeps hanging with the T-Mobile picture on it. I've done a hard reset for several times and also a few soft resets. I also took my battery out for a few minutes, but when I switch it on, the same thing happens.
Please help me out of this !
Ps. sorry for my bad english !
for taking a little stress from your brain take an other rom - orig. rom from your provider.....
(go bootloder from pda; if your orig. rom only one *.exe-file you have to extract (winzip/winrar) it before flashing; connect usb (bootloader screen change from serial to usb); than flash)
but before you do this, how long you have to wait and look to your screen?
it can be sometimes a very long time until a windows-screen is coming.
if your pda gets hot than dont wait and flash asap new rom.
after 5 minutes waiting without any changes you have to flash an other rom.
I think I may have the same problem with my Diamond. I also installed MightyRom 4.6. Now, when I power up my phone, I get through the RGB stage to a white backdrop with instructions in blue to push volume button up for a reboot to manufacturers settings or push volume button down to reboot to manufacturers settings and wipe the movinand....after I select either one, when it gets to the HTC logo (HTC Diamond in white on a black background), it freezes. My pc won't recognise my phone when I plug it in...
Do I now have a really gorgeous paperweight or can I hold my Diamond to my ear again? Insight into my problem would be much appreciated.
By the way, XDA Dev rocks. Thanks to all who made this site possible.
Brick or no brick ?
Oh, I forgot to mention that my phone was a non-branded HTC running a Duttys rom. I did not want to get a DOPOD Diamond from China Mobile as they cost more and I dunno if they put Big Brother software in there.

do you have it in the boot loader before you plug it in to your pc?
Brickety brick, brick, brick...
My phone does not recognize my pc and vice versa. I tried plugging the phone in before booting it up. I tried while booting up. I tried at the white screen stage...nothing...help...
It also doesn't stay at the RGB screen for long...maybe 2 seconds...
Please break it to me gently if I have killed my HTC...I don't want to start drinking again...
...
My phone is a GSM Diamond. MightyRom 4.6 is for CDMA. If I combine the two(like I did) then am I screwed?
Can someone please give me some insight, please? I have been scouring the net for 3 days non stop now and my eyes are going to explode...
What is Jtag and can your average home user use it? Is it hardware or software...?
Cobbs: I assume when you say bootloader you mean something other than the RGB screen,,,cos as I stated in my first post, my phone does not stop on the RGB screen...
I have flashed my at&t tilt 2 with core cell evo v1.2 & it was working fine for awhile but now my screen is just black i can hear the phone make sounds and all but can't see the screen at all i really need help fixing this as this is the only phone i have any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated thanks in advance.
i may be wrong but from what u have described... ur having a Sleep of Death (SOD) problem. have u tried takin out the battery or soft reseting the phone?
heres a link to a potential problem solver. Try to stay away from CHT lock and auto update apps!

yes i have done both and after the phone reboots i can hear sounds but i am still unable to see anything on the screen
Edit - I take that back, if it's still not working after a reboot
Have you tried entering the bootloader and re-flashing with the stock ROM?
If you can't see anything at all on the screen, no splash screens etc, even after soft-reset or entering the bootloader, then it sounds like you have a hardware problem (screen failure).

"PLEASE HELP"
It's a tricky situation. So if you hold down Volume Down (and keep it held down) and press the reset button, then you still don't have anything come up on the screen ?
How about if you try a hard reset, does anything come up then ? You can hear the phone making sounds, so it seems like it's just the screen ?
Putting the charger in doesn't help, does it ?
You could try flashing a stock ROM from SD card and seeing what happens.
You might well have to send it back under warranty with HardSPL still on. In that case, if it was me, then if they tried to say the warranty was void just because of HardSPL I would argue very strongly against that and ask them to prove it - e.g. how can HardSPL stop your screen working ? I don't know what country you're in, but in the UK I think our consumer protection laws would have something to say about that.

I've never flashed via SD, so I could be wrong on this. But I thought it was still possible. I see that the instructions (in the sticky on flashing ROMs) say to put it into the bootloader and "follow the on-screen instructions". I wonder if it's possible to just wait for a while and then press the appropriate key ? Though I don't know what the "appropriate key" is.
Perhaps someone who has flashed via SD can comment further, e.g. as to whether it's possible to do this without seeing the screen ?

man i really need to fix this maybe you can ask around for me since i'm new here & really don't know anybody on this board
I know it's frustrating, I'd be kinda worried if I had an apparently-non-working screen too. But please be patient, and wait for more people to see your posting. The folks in the US will be coming online around this sort of time, so there will be more people looking in and hopefully someone can help further.
Flash without seeing the screen
Enter boot loader even if you can not see the screen. You can flash your phone to stock then enter boot loader again and hard spl. I had a similar situation and was able to complete the process and warranty repair with AT&T no problems, or you can pay to have it fixed at an outside shop. I was quoted 150 and refused to spend that muck so I flashed the phone without seeing the screen...
I saw your post over on Sergio's thread but decided to answer you here.
You do have a blown screen, no doubt there. How that happened is not really relevant.
My best advise is to connect your phone to your PC and wait for the activesync connection to come up. Once that happens you know you have a good connection and can flash. Run the RUU (or exe) for your stock ROM, the on screen (PC Screen) prompts will let you know if it can't proceed. Once the stock ROM is back on it, follow the same procedure and put the stock SPL back. Then send it off to get the screen replaced.
Hope that helps

can somebody please help me i need to reflash my phone but i am unable to see anything on my screen when i plug it up to my computer activesync is not working so what can i do please i really need help with this
Flashing witout screen
Step 1
Enter boot loader mode (* Remove the back cover from the phone.
* Hold the Volume Down button.
* Use the stylus to press the reset hole.
* Or if the device was powered off, press the power button whilst holding down the Volume Down button.)
and attach to computer. (wait 30 to 60 seconds)
Step 2
Check device manager for HTC mobile sync under mobile devices.(Active sync will not work in boot loader mode)
Step 3
Flash using Rhodium CustomRUU on your PC. (use original ROM from At&T.
Step 4 repeat for Radio
Step 5 Use Stock_SPL_Restore_087.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550131 repeat the process with it.
This should work it did for me. Let me know if you run into problems.
Hey Geeks,
I need some help and I bet that you could help me!
I ve used the search engine to not post anything someone did before. But there was nothing that could help me.
First I ll describe you what I ve done to brick my Desire HD:
My phone is rooted, S-OFF, ENG S-OFF with CM 7. After installing the new ROM I wasn`t able to install anything from the amrket. So I ve looked up for the reason and tried different things to sovle it. I ve read somewhere that it could help to add a partition to my SD-card. So I ve used the ROM Manager to format my sd card and create a partition.
ROM Manager asked me if I am sure bla bla... you know what I mean. After giving ROM Manager su-permission my phone shuts down. From there on nothing happened. (and still no patition on my sd card).
It`s not reacting to the power button, to the volume-down + power button nor is blinking my LED when I connect it to the USB-Port. Seems like it`s out of energy (but my akku was charged before I ve stzarted with the partition of my sd card).
I ve tried to put out the akku for several minutes. No reaction.
Removing SD-Card before pushing the power button: No reaction
Plug in to charge battery without hitting any button... some hours later: still no reaction
Formating SD-Card: No reaction
Then I ve tried to install the RUU 1.32., saved it on my sd-card, plugged phone in to start... my pc is not detecting my phone.
And now I am helpless
So it doesn't boot at all? Because if it doesn't, you are pretty much screwed...no boot -> no access -> no fix, but I don't believe that you can screw your phone up that badly by partitioning your sd-card.
Unless someone has a fix for this (and the problem doesn't solve itself somehow), your best bet is to send your phone to HTC for a repair, they probably won't charge you anything if it is still covered under warranty, since they can't really check for any modifications if it doesn't boot. It is probably a hardware problem any way.

The fact that it doesn't boot at all is a good thing for send it back for warranty purpose. But if you formated your sd-card, you lost root anyway. You have to make a backup of your SD-Card before you format/partition it, and then copy everything back.
And your initial issue was maybe due to an outdated version of Gapps...
why should he loose root if he formats his sd-card? you have root even without an sd-card.
if nothing helps to get your DHD back to life, you probably have to send it to HTC. but I think it's covered by warranty since it's (probably) a hardware fault.
btw, i think i've seen a thread like this somewhere here yesterday... i'll have a look and post a link if i find something
Edit: found it! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1013582&page=2
look at page 2. there are some people with the same problem, but there is no solution yet.
But you do have CWM-Recovery on it don't you?
And if, can you get into Recovery?
Had similar Problems, once...
But my phone only showed the white HTC Logo and that was it....
What i did was the following... flashed Revory via Fasbootload from Computer...
Next, i formatted my sd card via computer and copied a new Rom.zip onto it.
In my Case, leedroid.
Next, i just flashed it and it happened to work again, luckily.
he can't even boot into the bootloader.

Hardware fault or not, rooting voids warranty. Let's hope that they can't inspect the internal memory.
Anyway, is the phone reacting to connecting to a proper charger (try to leave it plugged in for a couple of hours even if the LED doesn't light up)? The other thing you could try is to find a friend with a DHD and swap the batteries just to try if somehow you managed to kill your battery.
hi Sleipnir1985,
go back to your shop,
when did you buy it? they must take it for service, or they give you new one.
it is only best solution in this case
if you take battery out for 5! min, then plug it in and hold volume down then push power button - nothing happened, this is it, the end...
cheers/

yes, but HTC replaces your phone if it's a hardware and not a software fault. a friend of mine got his DHD replaced with eng hboot, radio S-OFF, custom rom and so on. and lots of people here on XDA also.
Here`s another mate with the same problem.
I am going to give my HTC to the shop this evening. Push your thumbs that I ll get a new one

Hi guys, need very quick help from you, as I think I have bricked the phone which suppose to be a Christmas gift for may son. I was trying to revert phone from root and custom rom to stock. I've downloaded older OTA update (one of very first ones with android 2.2) an installed it in bootloader. Phone booted fine, and I went for official update. It showed to me there is update available to android 2.3. I have downloaded it and phone rebooted in to update mode. After progress bar gone to the end it disappeared and phone stayed in that update mode (logo with phone and green arrows shaped it to circle) for nearly half an hour. I though, some thing had to vent wrong so I decided to turn off phone, but power button gave no effect, so I pulled battery out for few seconds. After I have putted it back phone never turned on again. I mean is completely not responding. Pressing power button for even minute doesn't wake it up, it is not possible to go to the bootloader. There is no characteristic vibration when it turns on. Basically it behaves like there is no battery in socket but there is, and it is fully loaded as I charged it before updating. When phone plugged to AC or computer LED is not lighting as well whatsoever.
Please, can any one help with this one? I in rush as phone is a Christmas present for my son who lives in Italy and I supposed to ship this today to make it arrive b4 Christmas. This is why I can not spend to much time on searching forums.
Thank you

Try pressing volume down+power button for a while then leave the power button while still pressing the voulme key. You should boot into the bootloader.

I understand I should not be worried that all of these RUU's are listed as for model: ACE?
Not at all. 'Ace' is the codename HTC gave to Desire HD/Inspire. Just choose the RUU that fits your location(i.e. WWE stands for WorldWide Edition).

My idea is to double check again the battery position in the socket and if it is ok try to leave it 5 minutes alone on the AC adapter. If this will not give good results, go to the appropriate HTC representative.
when you connected it to your computer... did it ask you to install qload drivers?
if not, go into device manager on your computer, then plug in your phone. If you see an unknown device that shows as qload something or other, then sorry to say, its bricked.
The only way to recover it now is via jtagging or replacing the mainboard (which generally is what they do when you send it in for warranty repair)

Yes, I thought about it as phone behave like it has no power at all. But this is not the case, as I have been flipping that and another battery in every possible position. And I know which one is correct as I can see where pins are in battery pocket. I left it alone under charging and other time with no battery at all hoping that will hard reset phone. No effect at all .

I had drivers previously installed. But I am not entirely sure are we talking about same thing as I don't know what QLOAD is. Anyway comp doesn't see any recognised or unrecognised device that could be my phone...
I am not worrying about damn phone as if it is hard bricked tech guys in service will not probably spot that it was rooted. So they will replace, or if not I will go to insurance company. Problem is it takes to much time, I wont make it b4 Christmas.
Thank you guys,
anyone has some other ideas? Please...
desperation bump
Sorry.. It really seems to be beyond software-repair, If it cannot boot in the bootloader or be recognized by PC there's really not much we can do. We need the device to start in some way.
Although one last thing that we haven't tried and can try is to see if it can be accessed via adb or fastboot. (Although I highly doubt it since the RUU also wasn't working).
I've attached the adb and fastboot files required to test that. Extract it, double-click on StartHere.bat and type "fastboot reboot" or "adb reboot". If it returns an error citing device not found then this too has failed.
(This probably wont work.. desperate action)
Another silly thing that might be tried is to try to put your phone on charging via a charger(not USB via PC) and then try to switch it on. Try normal switching, switching on to bootloader(volume down press)...
If these don't work then you really should give it to the repair center.. you're right that they wont probably realise that it was rooted and would probably change the main board.

Hello hedeon,
I have the same experience today, as you state in the first post in this thread.
Did you, and how solve the problem?
Is there people with the same problem? This morning I receive notification about system update for my HTC Desire HD. The rest is exactly same problem from the top of this story = death + death + death.....
The problem is that you PULLED THE BATTERY WHILE UPDATING! Have some paitience. I switched on my DHD after 3 months and it needed updating. Takes around 20 mins to complete update

May be, but updating started with downloading, then resetting, and then green line was growing up to 1/3 of total size, and at that size stay more then 20 min. Then I try to to push every button, and every combination of buttons, and after 10 minutes more I had pull battery out.
Was it too impatient ?
What was the Android version before you rooted if you can remember and which tool did you use to root?
From what you wrote earlier, it asked you for a 2.3 update which means you probably flashed a Froyo RUU as stock, to bring the phone back to stock ofc.
However, if your DHD came with stock Gingerbread, flashing a Froyo RUU will most definitely screw the phone. I'm not sure if it's beyond repair atm or not, but if that was the case, even if you didn't mess with the battery, chances are the phone would never boot anyway.
Look into AAHK thread, I think there is a good how to there.
Hey all,
I have a HTC Desire (PB99200) which won't switch on, recognise a charger/ connection to a PC or enter recovery etc. This was failed update, think I used the wrong RRU as I didn't know about the different versions SLCD/AMOLED.
So as far as I know the device is dead in the water, what I want to know is can it be salvaged?
I'm basically a noob but any help would be greatful
bortak's troubleshooting guide stickied to the top of Q&A, point [5]
If that RUU doesn't work, I recommend find and flash the 2.3.3 GB RUU from shipped ROMs
Thanks for your reply but point 5 doesn't open as page cannot be displayed.
I'm also not sure if u have read my post but it did say it was not being detected by my PC or anything else which would make reflashing stock rom impossible

Mite sound like a stupid question, but did u try pulling battery out for a min then put back in then try getting into bootloader(volume down + power)

Did this and still nothing, even the RRU software can't see it

The only options i can think of is a phone repair shop that has jtag, maybe they can save it but ud probably get a new motherboard off ebay for bout 15 quid which would be cheaper.

I might be tempted to do just that, its a shame cos I know the hardware is fine.
Not sure what the price would be to take it to a repair shop here in the UK. Thanks anyway

Sorry I read your post too quickly
So nothing comes up on screen at all when you try to get to bootloader?
I'm trying to remember whether bootloader is actually 'there', but just not visible if you flashed an SLCD RUU on an AMOLED desire or vice versa.
If it's actually there, then it may be possible to flash the RUU via PB99IMG.zip method, not tried it this way blind but worth a shot before you take it for repair.
- Try the 2.3.3 RUU from here (thanks to @jmcclue)
- Put the zip as it is on the root of the sdcard (not inside any folder), then attempt to boot to bootloader (vol down + power)
- Wait at least 30 seconds - 1 minute for it to scan and load the file, then press volume up to accept the RUU.
- Wait for it to flash, pray that it works!
Also have a look here, you're following this procedure without the screen basically.

It still comes down to flashing wrong RUU.
Was the device working beforehand ie charging?
Flashing the ruu should not break the usb port so i believe it's still charging even though doesn't look like it.
The software should still turn on, just not the screen.
Therefore the above method has a chance of working as long as you have a card reader to copy the PB99IMG.zip to the root of the sdcard. The video explains what it should look like. Plug it in to ac charger after booting to bootloader to ensure it doesn't die while flashing
Anyway no harm in giving it a go. Nothing to lose by trying it!

The phone was working/charging fine before I screwed up the RUU. I am following the instructions you have me and the YouTube video as well but there is no way of knowing if this will work or what its even doing if anything. all I can do it wait through a process I am unsure is working
Since the problem started, it doesn't charge, switch on, respond to PC connection nothing.

So if it was working fine before, I doubt the RUU has broken the charging capability.
The only way I guess is to try the PB99IMG.zip watching the video at the same time plus waiting a few seconds longer just in case. Think you have to press volume up or power at the end to reboot can't remember, or battery pull and hope it turns on afterwards.
No guarantee it will work, though I've seen many people in these forums recover 'black screen after ruu' issue. Still worth exhausting this method before repair
