Hello,
I try now since 2 hours to root my desire (it's non brnded and no simlock).
The bootloader is as i see it verion 0.92.
I have tried now 3 different Micro SD cards as goldcards and with the goldcards was never a problem. When i com to following point of the Tutorial:
5. Turn off your phone and turn it back on by holding down Back and Power until you see Fastboot come up on the screen. Push the Power button while highlighting Fastboot on the phone and Fastboot should show up in red now on the phone (if it doesn’t push Power again until it does).
6. Plug the phone in via USB cable to the computer.
7. Open the folder you extracted to the C drive and double click “step1-windows.bat” and wait for it to finish.
I receive following informations:

You can't root that HBOOT, you need to downgrade it to 0.80 and then you can root...

hmmm.... i find that a little to risky, but i gues it is just a question of time until a rootflash will be available for the new hboot... Don't you think?
The method you are trying downgrades your phone's software so I'm not sure why you think it's less risky. Also it'll never work on your phone (which might be a good thing, as if you have SLCD, it'd brick the screen).

So understanding you correctly: For the moment there is no way to have a modified rom on my sLCD Htc Desire?
There is; downgrade your bootloader and use a rom with slcd support. If you are afraid to do it, then don't. If you don't want to spent time finding the correct information, you should not root imho. Btw, this forum has a good search function, plus a sticky with all the info you will need.

I'd strongly suggest you *don't* follow that thread. Also, it will downgrade your system. As has already been said this is the ONLY way to root the phone.

Now i'm confused.
You say this does the downgrade and here it sais "don't" do the downgrade: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748498
If you have hboot 0.92 then you have froyo, and you cannot root without downgrading down to android 2.1.
The thread you are looking at is out of date. The information you are given now is up to date.

All right.. Got it...
So let's do a summery:
- I need to do a downgrade of the hboot
- then i need to aply the brick fix as i have a SLCD
- then i do the root flash
- then i again the brick fix
- and finally i can do the mod upgrade (where maybe after i need to do the brick fix again?
is it important to do the goldcard after the downgrade of the hroot or can i do it when ever i want?
BTW: I'd like to flash LeeDrOiD V2.0a mod with EspressoTheme
No.

Hi all,
Im having a little trouble with my dhd. It won't boot up !
I can get into HBOOT, but thats it. (ie. no recovery CWM)
When trying to boot normally it hangs at spash screen.
so far i have tried:
- fastboot flashing (system.img dosn't flash (for known reasons))
- this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841890) (tried with 2 different RUUs)
everything seemed to go according to plan, but still exactly the same problem.
- I've even tried flashing back the stock spash screen via fastboot in preperation to send it back to tmobile/htc to fix BUT, despite fastboot telling me flashing was succsessful, i still have my custom splash!
- pulling my hair out!
ive got eng hboot s-off radio s-off supercid and stuff??
my hboot info screen looks like this:

Which cw recovery is installed?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
First question, what did you do immediately before you turned you DHD off, hence the reboot?
From the bootloader can you enter fastboot? You should be able to flash recovery from there. You mention "for known reasons" what are these?
Hi pwraggcan,
I'm not too sure? and I'm not sure how I can check either, as I can only enter hboot/fastboot.
AndyHarney,
As far as I can remember I was using my phone as normal. (no risky installs/flashes to speak of). Then overnight it ran out of battery, and now won't boot up .. ?
fastboot flash system system.img returns:
sending 'system' (410134 KB)... FAILED (remote: data length is too large)
finished. total time: 0.006s
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img returns:

but when I choose 'RECOVERY' form hboot menu it still hangs on splash.

So you have recovery, and you're rooted, well I'd say install a ROM as ROMS flash system, boot and cache img files. Sending a 410mb file ofver adb seems a bit risky. Also, if you have no ROMs on the SD Card go into recovery, mounts and storage and at the bottom is usb or something.
MrYuiM,
I don't mean to act the fool, but I don't fully understand you're post.
"well I'd say install a ROM as ROMS flash system, boot and cache img files"
not sure how I can go about doing this? using fastboot?
"Also, if you have no ROMs on the SD Card go into recovery"
which ROMs do you mean? I have on my sdcard "LeeDrOiD_HD_V1.5.1.zip" and others. I also have some nandroid backups.
Currently, I have not found a way to enter recovery..
P.S I apologize for spewing my ignorance all over this thread.
Get PD98IMG.zip from my downgrade guide, put it into your SD card and go to the bootloader. Then tell us what what happens.
By the way, you still have fully warranty despite the fact that your device has S-OFF. There is nothing about software mods in warranty terms. For example mike1986 sent his phone to HTC's service center, it was S-OFF and it even had a custom ROM in it, and they did not complain.

When I asked HTC they were pretty stern on the fact that rooting voids their warranty despite it not being in the guidelines :/

To enter recovery turn your phone off completely and plug it into the charger, recovery will auto open. Also, everyone starts off somewhere.
But go with jkoljo first as he is more experienced
Hi jkoljo,
Downloading now,
It's also a big relief to hear that software modding dosn't effect warrenty *phew*

Good luck mate, report back on how it goes
Might be futile but you could try a different recovery. If you're s off it should work. Try a 2.x.x.x then a 3.x.x.x. flashing from fastboot, it could be that. If the pd98img doesn't work then it might be a faulty motherboard and htc will have to fix it.

I tried jkoljo advice, but still no dice! ... (hey that rhymes!)
One thing I noticed as it was checking SD card: -
SD Checking...
Loading...[PD98DIAG.zip]
No image!
Loading...[PD98DIAG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Loading...[PD98IMG.zip]
are those errors normal?!
just to clarify, after jkoljo's PD98IMG.zip update, I reboot and it hangs at my custom spash screen, just as before.
It's as if I hadn't tried to update/recover at all!
Anyways, Thankyou all for your help, assistance and advice.
I have to go out now, but ill be back tomorrow to try again.
It seems that you have to format your SD card. Do a full format to FAT32 (no quick format), and try it again.
Ok, formatted and tried again.
But same results as my last post.
I even tried with 2 SD's (4gb + 8gb).
Does this mean my phone is not recoverable..?
....I hope not..
oopes, delete this post please

Could you recommend one?
The only one I've ever known is CWM.
Also I don't have much faith in fastboot right now.
When I flashed my stock splash, it said 'OK' but never changed!
Thanks pwraggcan
Try flashing a different recovery while in fastboot.. Try the stock one first and if you can boot into recovery wipe data/factory reset.
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
recovery zip attached. good luck.
Thanks for the suggestion pwraggcan,
I tried that recovery.. and it flashed 'OK' but still no change from my previous attempts.
Soo... Shall I call this a write-off and let HTC deal with it..
Or are there any last ditch solutions I could be trying.
Jason9
As a last resort try the attached recovery. If this recovery doesn't work it's gotta be a hardware issue. I'm thinking if you backed up with a 2 series cw recovery then updated the recovery with rom manager to a 3 series cw recovery it won't let restore the backup. So, try the attached and fingers crossed, you're up and running. Probably won't sort it but definitely worth a try.
Hello,
I have a phone that is now stuck at white screen with green htc logo after an attempt to downgrade following this guide :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912
However i had already downloaded a PC10IMG.zip with this tool :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1521019
I first tried using the tool, but it always failed. It seemed to me the script failed on getting temproot. (I then manually downloaded the PC10IMG.zip in the .bat file just incase it was a problem with the wget it uses or something)
After that i followed the guide instead and gained temproot, changed version and gaining supercid through the goldcard method.
I then tried downgrading using the manual method using the PC10IMG.zip mentioned above (Its alot smaller than the ones mentioned in the guide. I have a suspicion it is for another phone perhaps). Bootloader recognized it and started "upgrade" process as expected. After it worked with that for a while it rebooted and since then I have been stuck on the white/green splash screen on normal boots.
I can still get into Hboot, but I cant do anything there. Nothing seems to work there. Neither volume +/-, trackpad nor powerbutton does anything.
I can also get into fastboot. This seems to work better, but when i try to flash the image then it just gives me :
D:\platform>fastboot-windows flash zip StockRom.zip
sending 'zip' (291447 KB)... FAILED (remote: 02 data length is too large)
HBOOT screen shows me the following:

I havent tried altering the contents of my SD card in fear of making things even worse.
Any tips/tricks/hint would be greatly appreciated!
Got some rather excellent help from #g2root to fix this today.
My main problem was that I had flashed the wrong img and that my Golden SD was not working correctly. Got that sorted out by using another SD and made it golden in another device.
Then proceeded to upgrade it to the newest g2 software (since that was what i had tried to do in the first place. Namely using the g2 img in a Desire Z device), downgrade it, rooted it and installed the necessary tools to get Andromadus running
Thanks to pierre_ja, skorgon, Uni_Ced and Catherall for the patience, moral support and excellent help! The amount of handholding from pierre_ja was astonishing
G2 img
Can i ask where you obtained the G2.img file, I am in a similar situation. Thanks
We used this one PC10IMG_Vision_TMOUS_2.15.531.3_Radio_12.52.60.25U_26.08.04.30_M3.zip

This is your problem, adb can't see your phone. Was it up and running when you tried this ? If so it's your adb setup. Have you used adb before on this phone ? See my signature for a link to a guide to setting up adb.

For the G2 there is a new program called mr. root, wich makes everything a bit easier, but you still need an computer to do it. So that's correct indeed.
From memory that 99 error means you used htcdev.

The cmd's seem to be working from the cmd prompt. for example the phone did go into boot loader.
The phone is in a state where it will not boot up. Fails on the htc logo.
However boot loader is not functioning, every time it directs me to clock work orange mod screen. Which does not function either
Same problem!!
Hi, im really new here, and i googled the 'symptoms' of my broken HTC desire Z and this thread came up. My phone is showing exactly the same writting as what you described, but i really really dont know why. i dont know what all these technical terms mean/do but i REALLY miss my phone and want it to work again!! I would really really REALLY appreciate any help anyone could offer me, because the warranty is up so i cant send it back!
Thank you so much!
So to get this straight, you've tried to root your phone and it went wrong. If so, can you still get into your recovery?
-Turn off phone, hold down the power and volume up button. Then ou should get your bootloader. Once that's loaded slelect recovery with your volume buttons and confirm (press "enter") by pressing your powerbutton. Then your phone should restart in recovery. If you haven't changed your recovery image, you should be able to get the stock ROM running again.-
I really hope someone here can help.
Several months ago I rooted my phone using the Ace Hack Kit and have been having fun installing several different ROM's without issue.
However I was flashing the ROM's without wiping the cache and was advised to always do this. So I decided to return to stock using the RUU tool and all was fine, however I went back to AHK to root the phone again and accidentally used an older version. The version I used is "Introducing Ace Advanced Hack Kit (03-10-2011)" and not the latest "aahk-11092012". during the flash there was an error regarding the "radio failure" and I attempted to run the flash again, but now all I get is the black screen with red triangle and system is frozen. I can reboot to the bootloader but no matter what I choose Recovery or Factory Reset it still ends up the same way.
Basically had I permabricked this phone or is there a way to recover it? I have been through the similar threads here but can seem to figure out a decent answer to the issue.
I appreciate the time taken to read and hope someone has the skills I lack !

Don't worry, you're still S-OFF so you're fine. You just need to flash a custom recovery, then flash a new ROM from that. In my signature there's a link to a thread labeled Ace Think Tank; in post #7 of that thread, there's a PDF that will explain how to flash a custom recovery.
For future reference, it's a bit overkill to run a RUU just to clear caches. You can wipe all partitions from recovery without needing to do that.

ToffeeArab, red triangle is stock recovery. That means that you have to flash CWM again from fastboot. Do the following:
Boot in fastboot USB
In the PC open a cmd as admin
Type: fastboot devices (and you should get your serial number)
Type: fastboot oem rebootRUU (you will get a black screen with silver HTC)
Type: wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/30674730/cwm-5.0.2.7-ace.zip
Once the above download is done, type: fastboot flash zip cwm-5.0.2.7-ace.zip
When it is done (you will get OKAY. finished in the command prompt) Type: fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then choose recovery and you should be getting CWM recovery. From there you know what to do
Hope it helps!

Red triangle is stock recovery. Unless you have unlocked the bootloader you can not flash a partition such as recovery.
I am assuming that you are S-ON
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
In short, I'm trying to factory reset the phone to it's default settings, but every attempt is met with a failed attempt. Here's the specs
HTC Incredible
Android 2.2
Locked
S-ON
Hboot 1.02.000
Software: 3.26.605.1
Baseband: 2.15.00.07.28
Upgrading using the RUU file, PB3120000_Incredible_C_hboot_1.02.0000_4.08.605.2.exe, does nothing because even when it says it succeeds, the software version is the same. Tried the PB31IMG.zip method doesn't work because I get the error, "Main version is older". Going into recovery mode and resetting from there does nothing either because that fails.
The closest method I've seen which resembles mine is from this thread, but because the phone is deactivated I can't access the market to download and install rom manager to fix what could be a corrupted recovery? On top of that, I spent over an hour working with SDK, and came to the conclusion that I'm out of my depth. If anyone could point me in the right directions.
Edit: Figured out I had the wrong zip file so when I finally got it to update to 4.08.605.2 image, the boot screen is stuck at "HTC Incredible" splash screen, so I'm to assume I bricked it?

If you can get to hboot, its not bricked. Have you tried a factory reset from hboot since doing the update?

Yes, I can get to hboot, and unfortunately doing a factory reset from there didn't work either? What are my options now you think, since I ran out of ideas a while ago.

Try this ruu thru hboot http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/4.08.605.15/PB31IMG.zip. If that dosent work i would unlock your bootloader with http://htcdev.com/bootloader. Then flash a custom recovery. Then from recovery try to do a full wipe and a flash of a rom.
How do I get access to the sim card from my computer and install the zip if the phone won't boat? Or is there a way I can still do this through hboot?

Well to put the PB file on the sdcard you would need to remove it from the phone, and then use a pc to put the file on there. You would most likley need an adapter, as most card readers dont do micro sd. However you can use fastboot to flash a pb file. Place the PB file on your pc in the same folder as fastboot.exe. Then type the folowing one at a time.
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Code:
fastboot flash zip PB31IMG.zip
Also unlocking the bootloader, and flashing a recovery only requires the use of fastboot.
EDIT: I guess i should have asked first if you have fastboot adb and their drivers setup on your pc? And if you know how to use them?
Sorry bout not mentioning I'm still a noob at this but for the most part I'm pretty tech savvy (just with iphones shhhh), I was in the middle of updating my progress, and I just finished installing SDK and recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-vivo.img, so now after installing the PB zip udate I got this message, "Failed (remote: 99 unknown fail)". What version of PB is this anyways?

The latest 4.08.605.15. Wait that is not a correct recovery for this phone. So you are unlocked now? If so that is why the fastboot ruu failed, the bootloader must be locked.
Yea I googled it not too long ago and figured that out. So what's the right version then?

I need to do some errands but I"ll be back in 30 minutes, Just letting you know in case you're waiting on me, but irregardless thanks for the help so far and I apologize having to put up with me. Bueno, ttys..
OK, I think I just made things worse. First off, I didn't know I shouldn't of unlocked it because now I instead of getting that error 99 when trying to mount the PB, I get the message saying, "bootloader err command error !!!" after I enter "fastboot oem rebootruu". And trying to mount it while it's unlocked I get the message, "FAILED (remote: not allowed)". Sad face all around. Also, those 2 links you gave me are broken or just aren't working for me, so I'll try to find other links in the mean time. But as far as re-locking the phone, I still get the same messages as above.

You can relock by typing in fastboot
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Or your saying you already tried that and it have an error?
The links should be working again.

Wait, does your hboot still have the same info you posted earlier as far as software version and baseband? In othet words are you still on android 2.2? And do you have a working recovery now?

The RUU has to be capital letters in that first command. (fastboot rebootRUU)
Try with this one http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/4.08.605.2/PB31IMG.zip, i forgot that last one was built and not official.

I got 4.08.605.2 installed, with radio 2.15.10.12.20. And if I understand you correctly regarding the recovery, I got clockwork installed and working.

Well you could try thay ruu in the post above, or go to recovery, do a wipe, and flash a rom.
EDIT: To flash a rom thru recovery you would need to unlock again with the bin file.
---------- Post added at 10:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 PM ----------
Lol we kind of have two different things going here, and they kind of conflict. So either stay locked and try that othet ruu, or unlock again and wipe and flash a rom with cwm.
Ok, it succesfully mounted that last image you linked to me. Only thing now after it finished on the command prompt, looking at the phone now and it's sitting there with the HTC logo, a black background, and a finished green bar. Should I just reboot it or keep waiting?
