Good afternoon:
Recently my sister in law gave me his Desire so I could take a look at it.
She says the phone started to freeze a lot and random reboots. Then the phone won't switch on at all, when it did it showed a white screen (I suspect she talks about the bootloader one). Next the phone never booted again, showing the htc screen with four exclamation triangles in the corners.
She is not an experienced user at all, the phone is a Vodafone one, unlocked.
It had the latest Vodafone stock rom installed. The phone doesn't have root, S-OFF or a gold card.
I tried to flash it with the latest Vodafone UK ruu and the gingerbread one from Shipped Roms and it fails with an error 152.
If I flash those roms with fastboot I get a FAILED (remote: 51 partition update fail).
Both methods give me a RADIO_V2 - Fail-PU.
We can't send the phone to HTC because the company doesn't even exist in Argentina. Also the phone its from Spain, so we have no warranty at all.
Is there any hope?. I've tried searching the web but I had no luck.
Thanks in advance.

It's a radio brick. Contact HTC for warranty repair is the usual response....
No s-off, no fix

Thanks man. If it supports latest boot loader, perhaps we have another chance.
@stumpyz9: Don't worry, phone is not under warranty, and we don't have any HTC service in Argentina ^^.

We have nothing to loose. Afterall the phone cost her nothing.
I enjoy doing this type of job, so it will be fun.
Well you can't s-off because it doesn't boot. The only fix would be HTC.
You could try flashing a RUU from fastboot....

Flashing from fastboot gives me a remote error: FAILED (remote: 51 partition update fail).
As I said we have no HTC repair service in Argentina.
All I can do is triying to fix it through the computer or throw it away u_u.
Can't I erase the radio and reflash it?. Do I need S-OFF to do that?.
can u flash a recovery
yah s-off would be required, but thats kind of impossible, and if your gunna throw it away you could always send it to me lol, i love to take **** apart

I know you have no HTC. But that is only option.
Throw it in the bin or sell for spares maybe then. You can't fix broken device without s-off, you can't s-off without working device.
Even if s-off, fix is very unlikely. HTC swap out the mother board when this happens, so nothing you can do

You will laugh a lot when you know how I fixed it.
I had another Desire with its digitizer cracked. It was from a friend who dropped it.
I just swapped the motherboards.
The dissasembly and assembly videos in Youtube were very usefull .
It was a lot of fun.
Thank you very much for all your help .
A good question
Wait a minute, how she can prevent this from happening again?.
She just was using his phone as a normal user. The phone was plain stock.
Excellent.
Well you can't prevent it if she didn't.do anything to cause it. It was probably destined to go faulty from the start

Quickest, most simplest way to achieve root and s-off is by using this method http://revolutionary.io/

read the 1st page,already mentioned,READ,READ,READ AND READ AGAIN B4 POSTING
Thanks ^^
Well, thanks guys.
Should I S-OFF the "new" phone?. New motherboard is from an almost new phone.
Just in case this issue appears again in the future.
Well i changed sim card with one from another company that is not in the list of 'RUU htc unlock bootloader'.My bootloader is unlocked but it's S-ON.so i cant root it and i cant pt CM-7 rom that i want to. How i make S-OFF again??????
Unless you used an xtc clip you never had s-off

Why?? im from greece. i made the process of unlocking bootloader in htcdev.com using a simcard of vodafone Gr but now i changed company (cosmote GR)that is not supported and doesn't exist in the list of RUU.Now when i start the phone using vol down and power button (with the new simcard inside) it says bootloader unlocked but S-ON.
---I m not sure if it was S-OFF with the previous simcard--.
p.s Thank u very much generraly and really really congratulations to the forums of xda for the great work and action.
If you unlock via HTCDev you are only unlocking the bootloader you are not making the phone into an S-Off state.
Changing similar card will not effect your bootloader, if your bootloader says unlocked then your unlocked. Just root and install cyanogenmod 7

Hallo
I need to send my Desire HD to HTC so they can repair it. Ive installed the stock rom and removed everything like root or s-off. Now i dont know which cid i have to set. I dont know if there was a branding from o2, vodafone or if it was a normal phone without a branding. Can somebody tell me how to find out which cid i need to set?
greets
Doesn't matter as long as it's a stock rom.
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
So that mean that its not important which cid it has? Wont HTC notic that ive changed the cid and refuse to repair the phone? I dont even know if i had ever changed the cid
No. They won't care. As long as it's their software.

Hello
First off, I'm sorry if this question has already been asked, or is in the wrong section, but i couldn't figure it out yet.
I'm not able to use my Orange UK based HTC One X with my European provider. It is rooted and unlocked, I've put custom firmware on it (CM10) but my CID is still ORANG001.
Could this be the cause? And am I able to change this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Jens
You can't change cid or remove carrier lock without s-off.

Assuming that there is no way to get s-off, I'm never going to be able to use my phone?
You could try this: http://www.cellunlocker.net/unlock-htc-one-x.php
You might also get the unlock code if you ask orange kindly enough.

My phone doesn't prompt for an unlock code
And I have contacted Orange, and they couldn't help me either

Sunshine app. Google it..
The sunshine at will unlock the boot loader on the desire 612.
It's my understanding that "s-off" is a different story.

Can anyone confirm that the Sunshine app works for the sim unlock mentioned by the OP?
Their website only talks about S-Off and bootloader unlock.
Also, how can you contact the dev? Is he active on xda?
Did anyone find a way to Sim unlock this phone?
Please post it!!
The SunShine app unlocks the bootloader and also unlock the GSM capability of the phone. I used the app on my Sprint HTC One M8 and it unlocked the bootloader and the SIM card as well.

I just confirmed from the developers of SunShine via TheRootNinja Support and the response was that "I don't believe we can simunlock that device." Also, the developers of the app here says "No sorry we do not sim unlock that phone".
