ok, phone was on charge, phone rang, went to answer, phone rebooted!. Left it but it stayed on 02 screen??.. Battery out, reboot - same thing!
Tried going into recovery but again it hangs on the o2 boot screen?
What the hell has happened?????
Was running DeFrost 3.6 with no problems!
Someone please tell me my phone is not kaput!!
First of all, pull off your sdcard.
Tried that - removed sdcard - still same.. o2 boot screen...
Can anyone help me please?? I cant even get into recovery to to a nandroid restore.. everything i try the phone just sits there on the o2 screen... is there a way to reflash an original rom incase i have to send it back???
I just dont undestand why answering the phone on charge i have ended up with a f**cked phone???
So i imagine you can see hboot screen.
You may try to flash a new recovery with unrevoked.
Yes i can see the Hboot screens.. i tried the unrevoked methos but it wont go any further than saying: waiting for device enable usb debugging... as the phone wont startup.
Vicious circle eh.. thanks for quick reply though..

What i was going to say .... if you cant get to the hboot screen well then bad times indeed
Extreme solution
If you can get the Hboot screen, as extreme solution, just copy in your SDcard (root directory)the file PB99IMG.zip or similar (I have no brand phone, maybe O2 requires a different file).
Be carefull, because this method will reset completely your phone. You will loose Root, every data, and you'll come back to the original branded phone.
You can search for this file at:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bravo/
Download the zip file corresponding to your version and rename it in PB99IMG.zip
Put this file in the root directory of your sdcard, start the device in Hboot mode and it should start automatically!
I hope this can help you.
If anyone more expert has a better solution, please help him
No i CAN get into hboot screen.. i just have no idea as to what to do now???

Ok, i will lose root but will i be able to use the unrevoked method again??.. or am i completey screwed then as hboot will be too high etc...
I have put my goldcard in.. but just cant do anything
So...the alternative is to have a not working phone. In any case, Unrevoked or not, you should give it a try if you don't have other solutions. But I suggest you to read a lot of threads before you proceed... many similar experiences could help you to understand the procedure.
Yeah agreed.. would rather a working phone.. I have been looking at the bricked threads but they are not so easy to understand.. Appreciate the help though..

follow the hboot steps using the .zip file everthing will return to default so then you can use unrevoked to root you phone again #

Ok, i am completely stuck now.. I think i can repair the phone but i just have no idea how. I have trawled through bricked threads..just cant find a solution.
I think if i could get usb debugging enabled unrevoked might just work.
Using the cmd tool i can use enableqxdm 0 and it says okay - however unrevoked still does not see it as neither does my pc!
I have no idea how to restore my nandroid without getting into recovery???
I am unsure weather to flash the PB99img.zip as i have a branded phone and i am worried i will completely brick it!
Just so so lost....
Heres a tip though - dont answer your phone when its on charge!!!!

Can i use any of the PB99IMG.zips then as it was an o2 branded phone??? Or can i use the update.zip (is this the nandroid backup??) thats already on my sd card - have card reader so can mess about with that no probs..
I have just seen where it checks for the image afetr getting to Hboot so i understand what its looking for now... Question is what image do i use..
Really do appreciate all the help guys
Ok, i tried flashing one of the pb99img and i get a CID error (incorrect). It says this is because goldcard is not present but it is???? Is it because i am using a different standard rom to the one that was on the phone???
I give up for today - i gotta go to work. If i could get USB debugging to work i would probably be ok, but when i do the commands via cmd prompt it says okay but it doesnt seem to do anything!
My goldcard now seems like it doesnt want to be one, thus the cid error..
I am just going round in circles here..
Think i might just throw the damn thing out of a window - Its doing my head in!!!!!
All from answering the poxy phone whilst plugged in!!!!!
wow.. was hoping for a few replies.. guess no one has any ideas.. guess i am buggered then... ok so if i send the phone back to o2 - what is worse case scenario if they do see its flashed??.. will they just charge me for the fix or just not touch it at all??

I would suggest you put your SD card in your computer and verify the content. Or even better, I hope you have a backup of your SD Card after you rooted your phone. I think your partition may have gone, so you can't boot up anymore. Try to format your sd card, partition it with Gpartition or whatever prog you have and copy back the content of your SD Crad back up on your newly formated SD card. It should do the trick. The same happened to me when I changed my 8gb SD Card for a 16gb one.
Good luck and let me know how it works (or not).
forelli, in Darth Sidious mode.
The sd card seems ok in a card reader? I did do a backup a while back but i have a spare sd card so i will try that? Would the sd card problem stop me going into recovery though??? I thought that was phone based and not sd card based??
Ive seen the program OpenRUU but can anyone tell me how to use it?
i want to flash from software 2.09 to 2.10 or above? is this possible? im rooted thru unrevoked but running a stock rom. Other than a gold card do i need anything else to use this program? and even if the ruu fails, it will not damage my phone?
thanks, adbird
EDIT: Actually do i need a gold card, my phone used to be branded under telus, but then i flashed a couple roms and eventually flashed the stock WWE rom, so do i need a gold card?
I have no experience with Mac but if you can't use a RUU, there is the PB99IMG.zip(which you can find using windows when the RUU is extracted) method which functions pretty much the same.
As for the gold card, you do need one, - debranding a branded handset doesn't make it unbranded .
Some people confuse "debranded" and "unbranded".
k thanks i guess i gotta go buy another sd card :/
There is no problem in making your regular card in the device, your goldcard, i.e., you don't need a dedicated microSD for gold card use exclusively .
but isnt clockworkmod kept on the sd? what if you format it
If I understand you correctly, you want to flash "2.10 or above".
Make a your card a goldcard ;
Put the ROM you want to install in the root of the memory card (/sdcard/ - in other words it should not be in any folder);
Make sure that the rom is renamed from something like "PB99IMG_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.zip" to "PB99IMG.zip" (zip is the extension, not part of the name);
Turn off the phone;
Turn on the phone while holding volume down, it should be recognized and you'll be asked to apply it.
will that unroot the device?
This might work for you
It helps flashing RUU's
WAIT, BEFORE YOU START, CREATE A GOLDCARD. IT IS VERY NECESSARY. THINGS WILL GO WRONG IF YOU DONT.
EDIT: YOU MUST BE ABLE TO BOOT GO TO THE BOOTLOADER MENU.
Firstly, download this file. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13240777/Desire Downgrade.ZIP
Extract the files.
Transfer the file PB99IMG to the root of your SD card (It is located in the extracted files)
Secondly, disconnect your phone and turn it off.
After that boot up your phone while pressing the volume down button and the power button.
The bootloader should be checking for files after awhile and once it found the file that is supposed to be in the root of your sd card, press the volume up button (NOT EXACTLY SURE, SHOULD BE THE ONE THAT SAYS YES AND CONTINUE)
It should be writing files to your phone. and replaces everything. E.G: HBOOT, RECOVERY,RADIO and such.
It should be writing files successfully and then it would ask you to reboot. Continue with the reboot and you should be having your Desire back to stock. Perfect.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THERE ARE RISKS INVOLVED LIKE FAILURE OF WRITING TO THE HBOOT. PLEASE REMEMBER TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS. MAINLY, DO NOT BLAME ME FOR ANYTHING THAT GOES WRONG.
FINALLY, YOU SHOULD BE READING EVERYTHING UP TO HERE AND THAT YOU MUST HAVE A GOLDCARD (A GOLD SD CARD)
Hope this helps you and please ask if you have further questions. PM me if the questions cannot be answered here. Good Luck

Yes, flashing a RUU unroots the phone.
But rooting again is easy.
I'm attempting to Unroot my Evo because I've all of a sudden had issues with Data Connectivity while running MIUI.
I've already flashed the unrevoked-s-on tool, and now I'm trying to flash the PC36IMG but my Hboot does not check for it at all?
I'm sure the IMG is on my SD card, any help will be greatly appreciated.

There are a couple things required to be sure that your bootloader will scan and find the PC36IMG. One, the file has to be on the main directory of your sd card. It cannot be in any folders. Two, it has to be named exactly PC36IMG.zip. If you use windows to look at the file, it should appear as just PC36IMG, because windows hides the file extension (.zip), although it's really there. If that's the case, and you happened to add a .zip, it would really be named PC36IMG.zip.zip, which would cause the bootloader to not find it when it scans. So basically, be sure it's named correctly, and it's in the correct location (main directory of the sd card). If those two criteria are met, it should find it, and ask you to update. If it still doesn't scan and find it, you should re download the file, because it could be corrupt.
Also, you need to be sure that you are indeed in the bootloader, and not in fastboot. If you see 'bootloader' as one of the menu options, you aren't in the bootloader, and your in fastboot. If that's the case, select 'bootloader'. Good luck.
A friend was trying to transfer contacts or some nonsense from her incredible 2 to her old incredible and got a boot-loop.
The phone was totally stock.
Now I can get into the bootloader but no matter what i do from there: Bootloop.
can't get into safemode either.
I have only ever softbricked my One X after I had rooted and installed a custom recovery, so i am not sure what to do here.
Should i just RUU? If so can someone provide me with a link to a TUT or a DL. I don't even know what Version of the Stock ROM she had or anything.
(In case you can't tell i know virtually nothing about the incredible)
Cheers

Have you tried a factory reset from hboot? If so or if it dosent work try an ruu http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/4.06.605.3/PB31IMG.zip.

Factory reset does nothing. I will try an RUU. Is this one completely stock?
also...
NOOB question-->
The only time i have ever RUUed (ha) it was an executable... this is a .zip

place the .zip on the root of the SD card and make sure it is named "PB31IMG.zip" and the SD is formatted to FAT32 then boot into hboot and go to bootloader and it will scan for the file and when it finds it it will ask you if you want to flash it, you just need to click the vol. up button to update and then it will flash it and then you will need to click vol. up to reboot I believe. if the RUU was successful it should boot into stock HTC android without problem.
thanks but...

is there a way to put the .zip on the internal???

As far as I know there is no way to flash things using the internal memory. I could be wrong but this is what I suggest for you:
If hboot couldn't find it then you need to do two things:
1. Make sure your file is called PB31IMG.zip not PB31IMG.zip.zip
2. Format SD to FAT32 File System Format
a. Make a backup of files on SD
b. Format to FAT32 using windows explorer
c. return files to SD card
Also an important note is to check the MD5 sum of the file. The MD5 for the file you downloaded is:
25EC451E08CD98C9495971BCB37E6582
This is important because flashing bad files through hboot can permanently brick the phone.
If you have mini-adbinc on your computer you just need to navigate to the directory of mini-adbinc in Command Prompt and then use the command:
Code:
md5sums C:/Folder/Folder/Folder/PB31IMG.zip
(where Folder/Folder/Folder is the series of folders to the location of PB31IMG.zip)
If you don't have these resources on your computer then there are several MD5 checkers online that can do the work for you and have more of a graphical UI instead of command prompt.

There is a way to put it on the internal drive, but hboot wont look for it there. Did you try backing up the sd to a pc, then format the card fat32, then put the ruu file on the sdcard in no folders. Make sure its named EXACTLY caps and all PB31IMG.zip, it shouldnt need to be renamed though. Boot to hboot, it should find it.
update fail!
so i formated to fat 32.
It recognized the image tired to flash but ultimately said...
Main Version is older!

Thanks, do i need to extract the files and put each of the .img files on there individually? Or, what do I do with the .zip?
Remember to extract the pb1img. It's inside the zip folder that was really confusing for me a couple years back

I have a FAT32 card, I'm trying to update the radio to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1735184.
When I go into hboot, I let it sit there, and then it says checking PB3DAGIMG or something that is not PB31IMG, and it says it cannot find the file.
Anyone have any idea whats causing this?

Backup the sdcard to a pc, reformat it fat32 with a pc, and then try again. Sometimes it needs a reformating to work. The file must be named exactly PB31IMG.zip and in no folders on the sdcard. You must also be s-off.
