Develop Bugs

[Resolved] I know there's a lot threads about bricked desires but...

More information added in my 3rd post below...
I've searched the forums, googled and tried praying to the smartphone gods and I can't find an answer. Maybe you guys can help.
I downloaded a ruu that got half way through the process when it said I was using the wrong ruu and to instigate the recovery procedure - which I did. Unfortunately the phone didn't go into the white startup screen (the one you get if you hold the return key while turning on) with the recovery option, when rebooted, therefore preventing it's recovery.
The phone has the green charging light when pluged into usb but there is no 'HTC' screen or anything when trying to boot it. Just a black screen. I removed the battery and all I get is a vibration when turning it on and that's it, although on a few occasions the buttons on the bottom of the unit have lit up but to no avail.
Forgive me if the details are vague but it's all I have. I hope someone can help...

Do you have slcd desire and did you use the correct ruu?
Do you have custom recovery ?

I think I used the incorrect ruu; that's why it sent me to recovery mode. I think it's AMOLED which is why I picked the ruu I did but it is a 2.1 phone and I was trying to get to 2.2. I think I used the wrong ruu...
No, I don't have custom recovery.
Thankyou for helping so quickly.

Anyone have any idea? I get the feeling this phone is truely bricked...

Which ruu did you use to begin with? Was it previously branded?
A generally safe way to recover any phone is to flash the froyo ruu, but you may need a goldcard for that. Start the phone in fastboot mode to get the ruu to work.

The issue is it won't go into fastboot. Just a black screen when I try to turn on the power. The ruu failed and said it couldn't see the phone and to remove the battery and then power on to recover the original rom - that's when it started not working.
I know how to get the fastboot screen but with this phone the screen will not come on.
The ruu i used was: RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.3_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121865.exe
It was branded to t-mobile and was trying to debrand it. I created a goldcard as well. I have all the drivers needed on my PC but my PC can't see the Desire via USB. USB bricked solutions won't work because I can't get the phone to power up - well the buttons on the bottom light up and the phone vibrates but that's it.
Perhaps my first bricked phone?
Al

don't worry. because of the feedback you are getting (buttons lighting up, green charge light and vibrate on startup), it is not a true brick. it should be recoverable.
edit: try this (edited from here)
(Remember to remove PB99IMG.zip from your GoldCard before copying update.zip)
1. Make sure the update.zip (NOT update.zip.zip!) file is on your goldcard and correctly named.
2. Take the battery out first to ensure the phone is powered off. Then hold vol down and press the power button, and hold vol down for about 5 seconds. That will get you into the bootloader even though you can't see it.
3. Press vol down once. This will select recovery.fastboot is already selected
4. Press the power button once. This will start the recovery.this will start fastboot The phone will vibrate briefly.
4a. plug in your desire into your computer. there should be a *ding* sound from the computer recognising it.
4b. Run the .exe you have downloaded. wait for it to finish. TBH I havent installed an ruu from an .exe before. I presume it is pretty straightforward. after this installs you should be able to reboot your device and be away.
5. Wait 20 seconds or so. Then press vol up and the power button and wait a few seconds. You'll now be in system recovery.
6. Press vol down once to select 'apply sdcard:update.zip'.
7. Press the power button once to start the recovery.
8. After a few seconds press the power button once again.

if you don't trust the ruu you have got, I recommend you download a fresh one that suits the screen you have (whether it be slcd or amoled).

Yeah I have tried that but I am downloading another ruu as I type.
The hboot on this phone was 0.75. Can you (or anyone else) recommend a ruu to suit?
Thanks for the input. I'll keep plugging away...

Just make sure you know which screen version you have and find a ruu file that has a higher build number then the one that you have installed, if its lower you will get a bootloader error
Hope this help!

Ok. The phone isn't bricked but I still have the black screen.
The update.zip didn't work as per here but I have successfully installed ruu:
RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed
I still get the BSOD (Black Screen Of Death), though.
Anyone have any thoughts on a ruu I should install or do I need to try a different process? Also, how do I find my screen version? I can't see the screen - is there a prog I can use???
Thanks for the help.

I dont think there is a program to identify them, I read elsewhere that even HTC doesn't have systems to show which IMEIs were shipped with SLCD or AMOLED displays at this time.
ala the SLCD Brick page, have you tried the ruu they provide? http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...1.00.32U_4.08.00.09_release_137222_signed.exe
the login and p/w are shipped

You, Sir, are my new idol. That ruu did the trick. The desire is now running super fast and is everything I ever hoped for.
A big thankyou to you and to everyone else who helped guide me through this process.
Cheers!!!

Now you've got that ROM the next step is to go to 2.2 (which you can do now or wait for the OTA updates to start again). Just make sure you leave your gold card in (if you had to use one in the first place)

I have saved the gold card for just this thing - the phone had a 4Gb card (my gold card) but I use a 32Gb for my music. <n00b>How do I get the phone to 2.2 (do I use another ruu?) and is it worth it?</n00b>
Al

Click on the version number in my signature (it's a link to the full RUU)

Yay!
Nevermind. The phone is updating automatically. How cool is that?
Thanks Eddy.
I have been having 'successful phone upgrading celebratory' drinks so bear with me...
Is it worth going 2.1 -> 2.2?? I seem to recall reading some where that 2.2 ain't all that it's cracked up to be - or am I mistaken?
Cheers,
Al

It's better than 2.1 IMO

[Q] evo wont boot and RUU fails with error

I tried one of the rooting processes today and it didn't work. Now when I turn my Evo on it goes no further than the white HTC screen that you get when you turn it on. When I try to run the RUU it gets a connection error and won't go through. Can someone please help?

If you pull the battery can you get to the bootloader screen? (hold volume down and power button when turning on)

You should be able to do what Greenfieldan suggests. It is possible to work through this issue, so don't fear but it make take a few tries.

Thread stalking is fun, I see which thread you are reading, but you may have to reset you phone.
Do you either:
Have a recovery installed (if you aren't sure, then you may not)
have a PCIMG36 on the root of your sdcard, (if you aren't sure then you may not)

Go in to fastboot and you should see something toward the top that says "FASTBOOT USB", once there run the RUU

I have a pc36img file on the root of my sd card. It says that it can't open it when i select flash zip from sd card.

Just download the actual ruu from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884060. It will be one of the .exe files same version of you had on the phone will prolly work best. Then do what xhausx said and run the ruu file once there. Thanks xhausx btw cause i was confused too.

or download an unrooted version of your software in pc36img.zip format and boot into the bootloader and it will restore your phone to stock if you cant run any ruu

Need Help
I know this is an old thread, but I'm working on an old phone. Hopefully some of you guys are still following this.
My father has an EVO 3D that showed up one day stuck on the white HTC screen. The only remedy was to pull the battery. I thought it would be no big deal to just go into the boot menu and either try and run recovery, or at worst do a factory reset. Both of these options failed. I even made a few attempts at trying from the SD card with a ROM or two. So I downloaded the RUU direct from HTC thinking that would finally take care of the problem. But after connecting up in FASTBOOT mode and running the RUU, it eventually fails when the update gets to the point that it's supposed to restart the phone in bootloader mode. Because at that point the phone just restarts to the white HTC logo again, and the software times out telling me that it can't connect to the device. Any help here other than passing me a trash can Thanks in advance!

Stuck on HBOOT screen :/, some help please :)

UPDATE TO MY PREVIOUS POST. I HAVE INCLUDED MUCH MORE DETAIL AS TO WHAT IS WRONG NOW. ANY HELP PLEASE?:
I am stuck in HBOOT currently, Ship s-off and of course my phone is rooted. What happened was my battery died sometime on the weekend and i tried turning it on to see the HBOOT screen. None of the buttons were responding when being pressed, not even the Vol. down + Power button was working... It randomly after a day decided to turn back on, then the next day i was at college and my battery went dead again and i'm now back at the HBOOT screen. I should have kept a check on it but i wasn't aware it would happen for a second time. Anyway...
I downloaded the PD98IMG.zip file and placed it on my goldcard (i'm on T-mobile) and attempted to re flash my device via the phone and left it for 6 hours or so whilst sleeping last night as it said it was parsing files. It sat on the same screen for the whole of the time. Tried flashing via my mac with instructions from a previous thread followed everything correct apart from putting into fastboot as i couldn't select it and thought it was worth a shot anyway Anyway, I came back with a message in terminal saying 'sending 'radio' (24960 KB)... FAILED (status malformed (1 bytes))'... As you could see it said failed. quite fed up now after looking for solutions since monday and i was hoping someone could come up with a fix :/.
If anyone knows whats going on with my DHD let me know ASAP. I am 95% sure its not bricked as its charging and turning on to HBOOT.
THANKS!!!!!

have you pulled the battery? thats what I normally do

Have you switched it back on without the charger plugged in?

Well i eventually got it working some how just after i posted this, but now it has just gone off again! It seems to be every time my battery goes completely dead. I plug it in, turn it on and Hboot screen pops up and repeats the same process each time, i dont know how to stop it doing this and i generally don't know how to get it back on.
I tried the ideas suggested but i've tried these previously and tried them again but no luck... One thing now though, my volume down button doesn't respond. If there is no fix i guess i'll just have to watch my battery usage but if anyone can suggest anything i can do to get it straight back on that would be great

I actually really need my phone to work right now , it ain't happening though, its been on hboot all day once again, it happens when the battery runs out, i press the power button and doesn't even vibrate or anything of the sort, just sits there and then pops up with the green writing after like 5 seconds saying:
SD Checking...
No image
Loading... (PD98IMG)
No image or wrong image
It says something like that, its only very briefly though. If anyone knows what i mean.... my phones on t-mobile so i made a goldcard so i could flash some roms, would that have anything to do with it?
THANKS!

Hi,
What info do you see in bootloader.
SHIP S-ON/OFF or ENG S-OFF
And have you performed Radio S-OFF?

Yea i have ship s-off, which is shown. I can't press the volume buttons on the h-boot screen to scroll through menu either just to add... DO you actually have any clue what this may be?

Yeah, you've messed up your handset.
Letting your battery run completely flat will damage your battery. It shouldn't however harm your handset.
What I'd recommend doing, as you already have a goldcard, download the 1.32.405.6 PD98IMG.zip put that on your card and boot into bootloader. Follow the prompts and restore your handset.

Oh my battery is fine, i know for future reference to not let it run completely dry! will that mean i won't have the rom, which i previously flashed? Do i put the PD98IMG file on the goldcard or on my normal sd that i am currently using?

There is something wrong with your phone. When your battery dies your handset shouldn't lock you in HBOOT.
Put the PD98IMG.zip on your goldcard. You will lose everything that is not backed up.
Its your call, stay stuck in HBOOT or try to recovery it.

I'll give it a try and let you know the out come, thabks! By the way, after this wht should i do to get miui back up and running, the sme as what i previously did ?

I'll go for the recovery of course haha... Thanks anyway though, i'll give it a shot and see how it goes down . I'll let you know if i have any success!

How long does it take for it to Parse the package? it automatically started doing it so.
Update: Well I have had this going for quite some time now and its continued to show the following...
Parsing...(SD ZIP)
Bootloader

Recovery

Would really appreciate any help ASAP as to why this has just been in the same position for quite some time, obviously something is not right?

Im guessing this isn't very common is it? nobody seems to know what to do

wow.. stuck in the same situation... ive rooted and unlocked my partners DHD from telus... just about a week ago, it just suddenly went to the white HBOOT screen. Since then, ive been able to somehow get into clockwork by pulling the battery out, plugging in the usb cable, then inserting the batter, it would somehow take me to the clockwork mods menu screen. I was using an outdated version tho. I would be able to reboot from that menu which would start regularly booting the phone. One interesting thing tho is that the volume - button stopped working around that time.... Ive been pulling my hair out trying to make a goldcard (did it once, but havent been able to do it since i started trying again) so i can reflash the stock telus ruu. For some reason, the goldcard program im using isnt finding the mm2... just the mm1 and mm0... any ideas why? im formating a 8gb class 4 micro sd card... fat32, ive tried 32 and 64kb sector sizes... any suggestions?

I´m in the same situation.I think the PD98IMG file don´t match with previously installed ROM (radio,hboot?)...I come from a MIUI ROM,android 2.3.4 version.

I´m proudly to inform you that I did it!
All the thing was (I think) the ROM manager who flashed a wrong recovery.
How I recovered it?
Without adb drivers,without goldcard,without downgrade.
Simply I downloaded a PD98IMG file,I unzipped it and I changed the recovery.img with a 3.0.2.6 recovery version.Ahh,I deleted the radio.img,too(I don´t know if matter or not).After this,I zipped the files again and I renamed the file to PD98IMG.Copy to sdcard,wait to process PD98IMG and finally the power and volume buttons revives!
Good bye!

Need help repairing frozen HTC Incredible

I need help repairing my dinc. First, let me apologize for the long post, but I wanted to provide as much detail as possible.
My cousin dropped his phone in water and tried to dry it off. I don't know if he tried to turn it on after drying it off. Also, I don't know what attempts he has made to bring the phone back to life, but he has given up and handed the phone over to me. He figured since I am an IT guy and also do hardware repairs I would figure it out.
This is new to me because I've never owned a Smartphone before. He turned off his service on the dinc and used another Verizon phone he had lying around.
I've research different forums for a fix for the past few days, but nothing has worked. I’ve seen posts with similar symptoms, but in all cases they were able to get more functionality from their phone than mine. Also, my issue is related to water and not from a bad ROM upgrade. Here's a summary of things I've already tried:
Dried the phone out with the rice in Ziploc bag trick for 3 days (phone is completely dried)
Reformatted the micro sd card to fat32
Did a system update
Placed PB31IMG.zip into the root of the sd card
md5 checksum: 31bb1611a0fa8197d447c0438426717e​
When I remove or rename the PB31IMG.zip file and hold the down button+power, here is the outcome for the following:
Fastboot: Gives me the following options Bootloader, Reboot, Reboot Bootloader, & Power Dwn
Bootloader takes me back to the main HBoot screen.
Reboot would get me stuck on a continuous loop (stuck on the "HTC Incredible" white screen) and freeze
Reboot Bootloader just takes me back to the Fastboot menu
Power Dwn would do the same thing as the Reboot​
Recovery: does the same thing as Reboot; it would freeze at the white "HTC Incredible" screen
Clear Storage: does the same thing as above
Factory Reset: does the same thing as above
Each time it gets stuck at the white HTC Incredible boot up screen, I would have to pull the battery. Hitting/holding the power button doesn't seem to do anything.
From what I've been reading, I don't think the phone is bricked, since it still turns on, has limited functions, & I can get to the HBoot screen. The only thing I haven’t tried is reinstalling the OS (not sure if the OS is included in the PB31IMG.zip file)? Also, I was going to try to reformat the hard drive (just in case the partition is damaged).
The phone has never been rooted and I am not trying to root/unroot the phone... just trying to repair the phone. The phone has the S-ON.
I have uploaded a 10 min. YouTube video so you can see what I'm dealing with. Any help would be much appreciated. If there is anything you want me to try or anything you want to know that I may have left out, please don't hesitate to ask. At this point, I'm willing to try anything.

You need to do an ruu with a PB31IMG.zip.
You can get the ruu here http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=22
If you ever want to be able to root you need to use the froyo one as gingerbread cant be rooted if your s-on. Just download, rename exactly PB31IMG.zip, place on your sdcard in no folders, make sure its not connected to a computer, then pull battery and replace then boot into hboot (vol down + power) it should automaticly find the file after a couple secs and then prompt you to press vol up to install. Once its done you will be promptet to reboot , do so and if all is as expected you should boot up normally. Note that the first boot will take a long time so be patient, it may seem like it freezes at the boot animation but give it time.

I ran the RUU program, which took about 10 min to complete. When it finished the update process, it rebooted the dinc, but I'm now stuck on the white htc incredible screen as demonstrated in my video. How long I'm I suppose to wait as this white screen? It seems as if it's frozen, but I'm not sure. Am I missing something?
Should I rerun it or try to run the PB31IMG.zip file? BTW, I grabbed the PB31IMG.zip file from the same site from your link.

Yes, but let me explain. When I first turned on my phone it would freeze at the white htc incredible screen. The pc would not recognize the device. The HTC Sync program would also not recognize the device.
I pulled the battery and did pushed the down button+power to get the HBoot. Then I would plug in the usb cable and the device is still not recognized. I would have to select the fastboot option, then bootloader a few times before the ruu program can detect my phone. HTC Sync would still not detect my phone.
After the phone is recognized by ruu I ran the program. I can see a black screen on my phone with big white HTC letters. Then I would see a green scan bar running. The ruu program completed and the phone rebooted. I hit the "finished" button on the ruu program and exit.
The phone rebooted and got stuck on the white htc incredible screen. I waited for 15 mins and it's still stuck on the same screen. If you watch my video, you can see exactly what I'm talking about. I've tried re-running the PB31IMG.zip file, but it's not working.
Any other ideas? You think the partition is damaged or the phone is bricked?

Ok I watched the video. My only other sugestion would be to try and root it with unrevoked so you can get the custom recovery, wipe everything from in recovery, and then try flashing a custom rom such as jermains rooted gingerbread+ rom. If that dosent work i would say there is some type of hardware failure.

When I root it with Unrevoked, can I use the online method where I log on to their site or does matter?
Can I still root the phone even though HTC Sync does not recognize my phone? Yeah, someone from another forum suggested it might be a hardware issue from the water. If my cousin turned the phone on while it was still wet, he could have shorted out some circuits on the motherboard. I told him what he should do if it ever happened to him next time.
Thanks for helping me out!

I wasnt aware there was an online method. I'm not sure if unrevoked will work or not but i know you have to uninstall htc sync before you use the downloadable method. Its a pretty simple process and worth a shot. Hardware failure is verry possible though, especially if it was turned on wile still wet. Even if it wasnt turned on wet it probably got droped in the water wile on possibly causing a short right away.

That's my bad; it's like 2am now and I was thinking about something else. I had to download the unrevoked3 program and run it. You're right, I had to uninstall htc sync. I was unable to use the program because it wanted me to enable usb debugging mode, which I am not able to do with my phone in its current state. It could not detect my device.
Someone from another forum stated that after watching my video, he noticed that the image I flashed contained a VZ radio. He said he's heard of cases where users were waiting up to 2 hours in the htc incredible screen before the update is complete. This seems like a very long time, but I'm willing to try.
He wanted me to make sure my phone is fully charged. Then he wants me to run the update in the bootloader and just let it sit. He says it may take up to 2 hours. He said if it doesn't work then it's a hardware related issue caused by the board getting shorted out.
Thanks for all your help!

No, I haven't. Can you please explain what this is and how it's done? I'm assuming this will pull up the syslog on the phone?

You need to have adb installed. If you don't, google how and there are many in depth tutorials. Then, once adb is installed, cd to your adb directory in terminal/command prompt and type ./adb logcat.

[Q] **BRICKED**

HI. Okay, so a couple weeks ago, I received a notification from HTC that said there was a new update available. Since I had S-Off and an unlocked bootloader (don't ask why, I just ****ing do.) I could not update, as it would give me errors, and cancel the update. So, earlier today I was fed-up with how slow my phone was being, and I wanted to fix it by updating. So I scoured XDA and found a thread about how to update by updating the HBoot or whatever. I followed those instructions and everything was fine, until I got to the initial part of installing the new **** through RUU. It was running fine, and then all of a sudden, the phone disconnected and ****ed the installation up. My battery was fully charged, and still has a charge as I am writing this. I digress. Whenever I would try to power my phone on, I would feel THREE (3) vibrations, and nothing would happen after. I tried booting into the stock recovery (fastboot, recovery, etc) and would still get THREE (3) vibrations. Bricked. So, I looked through a few threads on XDA, and found a few ways to fix it. Something about a Blind HBoot, or a Qualcomm Diagnostic Mode being stuck or something. Figured it was my best shot to try these. I tried them all. I put the PG76IMG.zip into my SD card, and booted up when holding Volume down, and only got THREE (3) vibrations. The tutorial said I was supposed to get FIVE (5) vibrations. So, I thought maybe it was something strange, and kept going through the tutorial. After five minutes, I'm supposed to press VOL UP, and should feel THREE (3) vibrations. Nothing happened. I waited and waited and tried again, and still, nothing. My phone is still lying here as a paperweight, and I want to get this working, so I can sell it because this phone is too much of a ****ing hassle for me. NOTHING HAS WORKED. ROMS, KERNELS, NOTHING. HAS. WORKED. I'M TIRED OF IT. I'm not a noob, I've been working with Android phones for a long time, and have never quite used an HTC device before. I had a Samsung Galaxy S Fascinate (CDMA) and it lost it's flash after I had moved to a different state. (The state I'm in does not have any towers for that carrier here.) SO. Can ANYONE give me a HIGHLY DETAILED tutorial, STEP BY STEP, to fix my phone?

ok, im not saying i can get it going again but i`ll do my best to help. lets start from the beginning, what actually works atm? you say when you try boot up the phone in any way it just vibrates 3 times.
does it do anything else, does the screen light up?
does it even stay on?
when you connect it to the charger does the led still light up?
have you tried to connect it to the pc? have you tried to connect it too the pc with volume down first?
all seem very basic stuff obviously but if the pc can register it in hboot we might be able to get a ruu running on it.

Found this on a different thread...
Nevermind. Just realized you were still getting three vibrates. Sorry man. I'll keep an eye out if I see anything else that might help.

what is your hboot version? i was see 1.09.099 like in forum maybe you can start with update hboot.
you can use adb for all of this works. download a ruu and run it. after some steps you can find rom.zip in windows/temp extract it to a folder like c:\android\rom and use adb for install all *.img files. maybe it can fix that problem

seriously , adb can install img files ?!

Alright, well, I called htc and told them about my problem, and I might have to just send it in. BUT. I had my phone rooted, and had CM Recovery on it. So, since nothing is booting up at all, only the three vibrates when trying to enter either boot mode, will they be able to see that I had it rooted or anything? They said they'll charge 35$ just to ship it back in the same condition if it is. Can't really afford anything like that right now.
tl;dr I had my phone rooted, but nothing on my phone comes up, will they see my root or anything?

if you are rooted you are probably s-off or at least have unlocked bootloader. and both they will find out very easily.

Sorry for my bad it was fastboot.exe you can install .img files with fastboot.exe i was installed stock recovery with that
