HELP! Black Screen - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys, long time no seen.
so... after a long time not really playing a lot with my HTC DESIRE I've decided to UNROOT it. I have started to be a'normal' user..
I downloaded the RUU, installed HTC SYNC and started to run the RUU installation.
everything went great. At the end I hade a message the phone is ready to use, and there it came to me - the screen isn't working.
My screen is fully black, but the phone and the buttens work. I hear the sound of the phone turning on and afterwards pressing the volume buttens to hear some noise..
When I try to enter the bootscreen buy vol.key down+power I still can't see anything.
I have really no idea what to do!!! Does HTC can maybe fix my device? probably the UNROOTing went succesfully so there will not be any problems.
but i'm afraid they will find out i've rooted and then they will not fix it and maybe even tell me to pay for the sending myself..
I'm living in a far country so it is a real deal.
Is there anything for me to do??? PLEASE HELP MEEE!

Sounds like you ran an ruu for an AMOLED on an SLCD device or vice versa.
Which ruu did you run?

F***! You are probably right.
I ran this RUU:
RUU_Bravo_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.19.707.6_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_rel_124362
I'm almost 100% sure my device is SLCD...
Do you have an idea what can i do? I can't run another RUU now because i have to enable the USB debugging and it's pretty complicated to do without a screen.
Is there an option? I've tried to enable the usb debugging using some images on the web but it was unsuccesfull.

Try running
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_143921_signed.exe
Its a newer one so shouldn't be screen specific

I'm sorry if you havn't understood me, but i can not run another RUU now because the screen is black, and i can't enable USB debugging so I can't connect the phone to the PC properly.

Do you need usb debugging?
Try it without. Boot the phone into fastboot (power on & back key) leave it for 30 seconds. Then try the ruu.
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk

I'm trying to, but it isn't going...
I probably need someone to video or printscreen of all the steps for the usb debugging enabling.

I'm on a custom rom so can't help there sorry.
Can you access your sdcard?
If so, you could extract the PB99IMG.zip file and put it on the root of your sdcard. I think there's only 1 input required then
Have search on here on how to extract PB99IMG.zip and see if it works.

I can access the SD CARD.
I had a search about the file tou asked but I really havn'y understood aa thing I should do. I got really lost.
Can you explain a little? thanks
EDIT: I ran a search in the SD Card and the file you said isn't there at all...

You have to extract it from the ruu you've downloaded and then put it on your sdcard.
Search on PB99IMG and you should find instructions on how to do it.

It's just the missing SLCD driver.
Don't worry, do that what mikep99 says.

[Q] HTC Desire doesn't start up.

Hello there, i have a htc desire... a few hours ago i`ve tried rooting it. a few seconds after flashing started, everything stopped, the screen went black, and no response what so ever since. when i plug in usb cable, the led indicating charging doesn't turn on. when i press the power button 1 single vibrate then nothing, the screen remains black. the pc does recognize it. when i type adb devices in cmd i get :
List of devices attached
HT07TPL02170 recovery
any ideas?
How long did you leave it before pulling the plug when rooting?
It should have been left for a good 5 minutes before getting worried....
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
uh... whell about 2 minutes. didn't know that i've had to let it 5 minutes, doesn't say in the tutorial...
Ok, well id suggest running the root process again until it says its successful on your pc.
No guarantees this will work tho....

i think the update.zip is not suitable for my version of htc, maybe that's why it didn't work. can u help me with a stock froyo 2.2 rom? and maybe a quick tutorial on how to flash it?
What is your current rom and is it branded.
Do you have the rom details, numbers etc..
The more info. The better.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
i don't think it's branded... my current rom, i have no idea i'm new to android.
32.43.00.32U --- does this help?
The easiest thing to do would be to run the 2.29.405.5 RUU or flash it as PB99IMG from your sdcard.
Do a search in this forum as it has been detailed a number of times.

how can flash from sd card... since my screen is black at all times. can't navigate trough quickboot on phone. tried RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_122704.exe
but i get error 170, connection problem.
my current image version is 2.09.405.8, just managed to get the rom update utility running.
i'm downloading right now the 2.29.405.5 RUU ... hope it works.
Good stuff.
The rom I mentioned is a newer version but as long as you get a working phone, that's the main thing.

okay... i've flashed with RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe
worked. everything is ok now. but... how do I root the damn thing ?
Nice one.
To root, you need to use unrevoked3.
Just follow the instructions on their website, don't miss anything and don't pull the pkug too early.
I'm assuming you used unrevoked earlier?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
i used r6-desire-root.zip
but first made an goldcard... on a 2gb sd.
I've never heard of that.
Have a look at unrevoked, it is what the majority, if not all, use on here.
Just a heads up before you continue, make sure you install htc sync and then uninstall it before continuing. This leave a couple of drivers installed that the process uses.
Then follow the instructions to the letter!
Try not to pull the plug prematurely.....
Good luck
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
unrevoked gets stuck on "waiting for bootloader" altough the bootloader is on screen...
Have you enabled usb debugging?
Have you turned off any antivirus, firewalls on your pc?
Does it say 'fastboot usb' on your phone?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
ok.. let's take it step by step.
I've uninstalled HTC Sync, but left the htc usb driver installed.
i've started unrevoked, it rebooted the desire, then hangs at waiting for bootloader
On the phone i have the white screen with the following options
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
CLEAR STORAGE
SIMLOCK
and a few info's on the device.
Have you installed the hboot drivers from unrevoked? There is a download link for them on their site.

Tried vol down and power? Will boot into bootloader.
Your phone isn't bricked. Its in debug mode. Pull battery and do volume down + power to see if you can get into the bootloader, if you can you aren't bricked, load up an RUU and you should be good.

Yes if you have an SLCD this is your problem. When you downgrade to 2.1 you have no drivers for your screen. Pull the battery, hold down and then hit power. Set your phone down for 10 minutes or until hboot loads. Make sure that you have this PB31IMG.zip in the root of your sd and then upgrade it. It took a while for my hboot to load. So give it some time. If that doesn't work try booting with trackball and power.
How do I know what kind of screen I have?
and where do i get an ruu?
Good luck with this one guys... lol. I commend you!

This is the ruu EXE. I dont know quite whether it works for SLCD, but its a resource.
If you recover by loading the PB31IMG in hboot, you'll need to also format your SD card to FAT32 if it isn't already. Might be a slight point of contention if you don't have a USB card reader or another device which can interface the card with a PC.
Might be easiest to run the RUU on a Windows computer. Link above looks perfect, it's the latest.
Download to PC, hook up phone via USB cable and lanuch the RUU program then follow instructs. I despise HTC Sync but in this case, might be easiest to go ahead and load it to your PC before you run the RUU. It'll allow the RUU to function properly (all this all assumes Windows). I'd delete HTC Sync when done if it were me. It can be problematic in other regards.
I am 99% sure that the phone dosent boot past hboot... so the above method wont work correct?
The 2 ways to do it are:
1.) go into hboot and have the PB31IMG already on your SD card. Once in hboot, it should recognize the PB31IMG and you press volume up to load. However, as mentioned it'll likely fail if you have not formatted your card to FAT32 at some point.
2.) Forget about hboot. Pull your batt, replace it and start the phone even though you can't see what's up. You should feel it vibe and in reality it's working, you just can't see anything on the screen due to the lack of drivers as previously mentioned. So hook up phone to USB port on PC and with HTC Sync installed, launch the RUU you downloaded from 3 posts up. It runs on Windows and loads the software to the phone via the USB charging cable.
I have grown tired of these downgrade posts on multiple forums. Instead of writing a "how to" in 50 posts I have made one
You downgraded, welcome to the land of suck.
And OP you phone does boot and works quite well minus the screen. To prove the point boot it up and call it.
OP,
Go with Doug's link. Great description and is using the same files already posted here. Just much better instructs to follow.
Alright thanks trying that now

Follow my earlier post. I posted a link to the zip you need. If you need more help e-mail me at [email protected].
the ruu didnt work error 117... would it help if i uses xp?
Do you have SLCD or Amoled screen? Also, if you used 3.22 you might have to get your own recovery. Download ROM manager from the market and install Clockwork Mod.

[Q] Desire bricked for good?

Hi all,
I think I killed my desire. It was on three network and I managed to root it and installed Oxygen. I used the phone for about one week before I started having withdrawal symptoms in hot having the sense UI. Okay call me whatever you like but I like that UI.
Now for the problem…. I wanted to put a stock rom on it again and read a lot before doing that.
Downloaded an unbranded RUU that didn’t want to load because of the Customer ID being wrong. Read a bit more and found that I had to go back to the three ROM instead. Okay downloaded that and all seemed fine the phone was being flashed. After a minute or so the process stopped with an error message that something wasn’t right with the bootloader.
Not being able to find anything related to this kind of problem I ended up taking the battery of the phone and now all is black. I cannot get anything to work on it. Nothing happens when I hold down the volume – key plus power.
My PC still sees the phone as My Android in the device manager.
When removing the battery and putting it back in and pressing the power button the phone vibrates but nothing else. Not even the LED is lit when connected to the PC via USB cable.
Is this a lost case?
Please help
Regards
PS I have tried all mentioned on this post but I cannot the adb command to find my device

Hi yes it was S-off as I had to put it in that state otherwise I couldn't flash Oxygen it would let me.
About different Hboot I have no idea, The problem is that I cannot get anything out of the phone. maybe I'm doing something wrong? The phone now as I left the battery out the whole night it started charging again. well... the orange light comes on when connecting it to the PC, but screen still all dark, but as soon as I press the power-on button it's gone and stays off.

Hi that's good news but how did you flash the phone in that state? everytime I try the RUU exe doesn't find the phone. And yes I still have a goldcard for this phone if that's of any help?
If you've got a goldcard, try flashing the WWE RUU in fastboot mode.
The RUU you want is 2.29.405.2 or 2.29.405.5.
To get into fastboot - power and back key.
EDIT - which RUU have you tried? Sounds like it was a very old one.

Hi thanks for your reply
RUU_Bravo_H3G_UK_1.20.771.3_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.0 6.00.02_2_release_124822.exe
RUU_Bravo_H3G_UK_1.22.771.1_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.0 6.00.02_2_release_127568_signed.exe
one of these two. But my fear is that it hasn't finished to flash it till the end or if it did I had that error message.
Ho do I know that it is in that mode? is there anything or the PC I can through at it to acknowledge that mode?
Or is it only when I trying to flash the RUU?
When you are in fastboot mode, you have a white screen with three androids at the bottom. Beside some other informations you should see the word "FASTBOOT" in red highlighted letters.
Why did you posted these two old ruus? Is h3g your provider? The latest ruu by htc can be downloaded here:
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe
Download this ruu, boot your phone into fastboot mode and connect your phone to your computer. Instead of "FASTBOOT" you should see "FASTBOOT USB". Then run the downloaded ruu on your computer and follow the instrucions.
yep just tried it again.
I start the RUU exe the later of the two you recommended and it doesn't find the phone error 170.
Still no joy. nevertheless the PC does do the usual sound when a USB device is connected as soon as I press the power and back button.

Installed all drivers correctly:
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install
Is htc sync installed?
If yes, uninstall ONLY htc sync software (NOT the drivers).
Now reboot your computer.
If not, install it. Then follow the steps for "if yes,...".
After rebooting is finished, try to flash the ruu again.
thanks again trying it now....
hummm still nothing this is what I do
- remove the battery
- unplug the SUB cable
- I already had those drivers installed. My device manager shows under the Android Phone: Android bootloader interface (is this what I should have?)
- put the battery back in and plug the cable
- press the back button and whilst that press the power-on until windows goes ding-dong....
- run the RUU and tick the boxes and hit next twice and the RUU launches adb.exe (I can see this in the windows task manager...
- the RUU exe eventually gives up
any mistakes?
EDIT I uninstalled HTC sync as recommended but not HTC BMP USB Driver and not HTC Driver Installer
if I do fastboot devices from the command line it odesn't find my desire. on the other hand if I put my wife's in fastboot the fastboot command does find it. I guess there is everything fine with the drivers and software on my PC. it must be the phone that has been left in a state that is unrecoverable. Any further tips or tricks or should I just for get about and and sell it as for spares?
if I follow the fastboot screen on my wife's Desire and press the volume rocker to go to recovery and press the power button the phone vibrates and the PC shows it as My HTC instead of the Android Bootloader interface. it looks like in the back ground is all there but why isn't the phone recognised?
Not sure if this means anything or can help but as I put the phone into recovery mode ADB can now see it. doing adb devices I can see an alphanumerical value followed by recovery
what can I do from here?running the RUU rom does still not do anything in this mode.
Sounds to me like you may have SLCD brick, is your desire slcd?
As above. It seems like you've flashed an old ruu for an amoled phone.
Try flashing the WWE RUU using the PB99IMG.zip method perhaps. A quick search should find some posts about what to do

Hi Chaps
I'm still confused. okay I extracted the rom and renamed it. I did this from the RUU that wasn't my original one. I guess this is still wrong right? But having the PB99IMG.zip file on the goldcard root should do the trick or does this only work with the original RUU ROM? I have downloaded RUU_Bravo_Froyo_H3G_UK_2.25.771.1_Radio_32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14_release_149217_signed
should I use this ROM instead?
and how to I flash the phone now? Please remember that I cannot see anything on screen.
Do I hold down vol down and press power? do I need to do anything else?
what is the exact sequence of buttons as I cannot see what I'm doing.
Does the battery also need to be above a certain charge for this to work? again I wouldn't see any error messages!
thanks

Bricked HTC desire :( Please help

I got my phone today which is on t-mobile and went ahead and rooted it and s-offed it, i unlocked the network with HTC_Desire_Unlock_v0.9.5 and all seemed ok until i tried to install a custom rom from my memory card through CWM, but it would not let me it just went to a black screen.
So i downloaded a RUU file called RUU_Bravo_TMO_UK_1.15.110.11_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_122755
I ran the file and it started to install so i thought, it then came up with an error saying something like wrong version.so i turned of my phone and switched it back on and nothing, i cant even get into hboot or recovery
Please can someone help me out as i am a noob at this

Its possible you haven't done much research.
1) Maybe in recovery, if you pressed the power button to flash a rom, you would find it switched off the screen. Pressing power again (if this was the case) would turn the back on. You could then use trackball to select
2) RUU's starting 1.x are Eclair Roms. They more often than not do not support SLCD screens so this could have given you an SLCD Brick.
If you get wrong version, it hasn't flashed anything at that time so the RUU shouldn't have broken anything, although now you are getting USB errors, sounds like you needed to do the USB brick fix
You say when you try to get into hboot, you get nothing? define nothing clearly please? Have you removed the battery at all since any of this?
People, please understand what it is you are doing before doing it. If you dont understand something, ask before doing it. If I am right about the above, nearly bricking a phone because the wrong button was pressed in recovery has to be about the most extreme case of this sort of thing I have seen.
Yes i have removed the battery and tried to get hboot but nothing
So does this mean i am goosed then?
What do you mean nothing? does it vibrate? Please go into detail
Please can you guide me to the correct stock rom for my phone? it is on t-mobile UK?
The phone now says Android bootloader interface in device manager
Could you also tell me how to do the usb brick fix?
Yes it vibrates once and thats it.
It also vibrates once when i plug in the usb
Im not telling you anything unless you answer my questions. Sorry to be brutal, but you're not helping yourself here
Edit, Thank you.
It still looks like an SLCD brick to me. I can't for the life of me figure out how if it got wrong bootloader version though...
I dont mind you being brutal it will learn me not to make the same mistake again
I am really grateful for you helping me

Ok, lets take our time with this, I dont think tonight is our night as shipped roms appears to be down so we can't necessarily get the latest TMO RUU from there. Also it may not be the latest.

Incase I am not around for the entirety of this, here is what we are doing.
1) making a gold card
2) Downloading an unbranded RUU 2.28.405.5
3) Booting to fastboot and trying to run the RUU
If that fails, we are going to have to try the PB99IMG.zip method for the same rom, blind.

[Q] htc marvel / wildfire s - think i bricked it...help?

Hi, ive been lurking on the xda forums for months, and have succesfully roooted and run darky rom on my galaxy s. then i got a wildfire s second hand.
Now i decided to try for s-off and a custom cwm rom. downloaded all the files read everything i could, and have managed to brick it i think.
Result if i press power or volume down + power i get a flickering screen, it flashes grey for 2 sec, black 2 sec. there is a faint red glow to the right of the front htc logo...where i thought the camera was lol.
i was trying to use the htcdev.com route. downloaded :

ive tried removing the battery, cant get into hboot, get no logos, no vibration, nothing.

Hello I'm no expert but I hope to try and help OK so you can turn the phone on, and it flickers and then the screen goes black? Does the phone remain on after the black screen? If so what is the longest you have left it?
Also when you tried to connect it to your PC did you try in *rom mode* or *hboot * mode?
If rom mode try in hboot mode and see if your PC can connect to it. If it can try to re-run the ruu and see if it brings it back to life.
It sounds to me like either the bootloader or your radio is ****ed. And neither are easy to fix. But report back with your findings and we'll take it from there good luck.

OK hold down the volume down + power for 10 seconds and then connect to the PC by USB and see if it shows up. And its cool man, always happy to help

Holding volume and pressing power causes the flickering to start again...

And does the PC connect to it? Because our only real hope, since your s-on is that by holding down power +volume down you can get the PC to connect to it and the see if fastboot is still functional, then run a ruu. If it cannot, you could try to take the ruu, remove the rom.zip from it, (run it on the PC with a process moniter, wait until it moves the file to the temporary folder and take it) rename to pg76img.zip put it on the sdcard, boot into hboot and wait for a bit, then push volume up and hope that it runs the update and fixes your screen. If that doesn't work then you have indeed bricked it.

Nothing I do seems to get me into hboot or a rom...pc doesn't pick up usb either...so I think my bootloader kicked the bucket....is there any way to save this phone now? Thx for the help everyone who has replied, and those with the same problem.good luck...

You could try to use a j-tag but it would end up costing you more than the phone tbh. Sorry bud.

Try going to where you bought it and saying you had it charging all night and it happed then demand a refund (hopefully you get someone who says ok)
