Hi guys, first post for me here, im having major problems with my desire.
I was opening a zip file on my phone to change the font on it, and followed the instructions for a restart, upon restarting the phone the usual pink circle appeared in the centre of the screen (presumably because im on t-mobile), eventually this circle goes off, as it normally does, and i was expecting the t-mobile logo to appear as per usual, however the phone just restarted and the pink circle appeared again and kept doing this until i took the battery out the back to turn it off, when i turned the phone on again it just did the same thing.
I tried removing the sd card and the sim card but still made no difference. Im a bit of a noob at this type of thing so any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
Im a UK resident on t-mobile, im using a rooted phone.
I also tried a factory reset but this didnt work either, any help you can give would be a major help as i really miss my phone
Hi, try to do a full wipe trough recovery (hold vol down and power on), follow the onscreen instructions. If it doesn't work, try flashing the stock rom - t-mobile - http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127570_signed.exe
post if you come across problems
sorry as mentioned before, i am a noob, what do u mean by flashing?
ooops, sorry and welcome to xda
first download the rom in the link, it is an official t-mo rom, then connect your phone with the PC, make sure usb debugging is on (settings\applications\development you should have a green thick). Then start the exe and follow the onscreen instructions. Unfortunately you might need a goldcard which is a bit more complicated , that is if you get an error.
are you sure your phone is rooted? If that's the case power down, then power on while holding vol down, then navigate to "recovery" by pressing volume down, when you enter recovery look for "wipe device" "factory reset" or "full wipe", do it and see if you are alright then
try the second method first, with the recovery
hi thanks for the reply, i tried doing the full wipe on the phone unfortunately that didnt work. When trying to run the rom it says it cannot connect to the phone and i cant get into the phone to turn on debugging as it wont load up. this to me seems like it might be terminal unless you experts have any other advice.
Sometimes, when flashing an update ZIP, the framework might be wrong for your ROM and cause it to go into a bootloop (which it appears yours is doing).
Flashing the stock ROM is probably the best way, just need to get the correct RUU for your phone, make sure HTC Sync is connected and then run the file. If you can't turn the phone on the get HTC Sync to connect, turn off the phone and turn it back on whilst holding the back button to get into FASTBOOT. Connect to your PC again and then once it says FASTBOOT USB try again and it should work
It worked!! Thank you so much for helping me out guys, i really appreciate it!!
Hey guys!
Now this happened for some time ago because i switched phone to my blackberry in anger over the brick of the Desire, and i can't remember exactly this happened!
I think i rooted it and then the screen suddently went blank when i started it.
Now i searched the web for looooong time, and also some threads in here, to find my golden answer - but nothing hat helped yet. But i got a wierd feeling in my stomach that i'm doing something wrong.
So since i can't do it myself i decided to wright to you, and hope that helps!
My HTC Desire is not branded.- at least im pretty sure it isn't!! There is no place it's physically branded. And it's bought in Denmark, and i don't think we've got branded phones here as in UK and USA
I've tried this guide because i saw some people had succes with it:
QUOTE''
You don't need to root or do anything unusual in order to apply the FroYo update, you only need that for custom recovery. It's not impossible to do with a broken screen, just do this:
1. Make sure the update.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.
4. Press the power button once. This will start the recovery. The phone will vibrate briefly.
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.'' QUOTE END.
But nothing happens.
And i also tried Unrevoked3, but neither did that helped, it got stock at ''Waiting for root... (safe to restart if this doesn't work)''
I would really appreciate if you would take your time to help me today! Because i really want my HTC Desire back, because it is a really sweet phone after all
I know you guys are much more wiser to this than me, so i hope you got at magical form to solve this out.
So... when you boot holding the vol down key what happens?
Well the tricky part about it is that i can't see anything! But if i go into boot (atleast i think i do) i can push VOL- and then Power button, and then it vibrates briefly, so i think it's going in to recovery.
Right, try this...
Download this RUU (2.29.405.5):
http://www.multiupload.com/LEJCW182AH
Turn the phone off (remove the battery to be sure) and turn it on holding the BACK button. Hold back for about 5-10 seconds to be sure you're in FASTBOOT. Connect to the PC and assuming the drivers are installed wait a further 20 seconds
Then run the RUU. If you're unbranded it will install and should get you back up and running. If it completes and you still can't see anything the screen is dead and will need replacing
So what happens when you turn it on normally, vibrates and then you can't see anything? Maybe try this thread.
@EddyOS
Thank you!
I'm going to try the FASTBOOT right now! - i have slow internet, so i assume it's gonna take while to download the RUU - but i'll response the results here as quick as i can.
@TheGhost1233
Nothing happens, but i can see that there is light in the screen, because it turns slightly light-darker.
Also when i powered up the phone i can lock it up with my fingers and still use my touch, so it's not the ''touch'' function that there is broken.
touch is seperate to the screen anyway, lets hope its not a hardware fault and can be fixed! post your results
I'm trying with another RUU i have - while im downloading the on you've linked to - 8RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8_Radio_32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed is the one i'm trying with right now.
When i start the desire with holder down Volume (DOWN) and Power button for 5 seconds, and then plug the phone into USB there comes an jingle on my computer(which always appears when connecting any phone) but then it wont find more.
I can't see the device in ''My computer'' ?
And i get the ERROR [170] Connecting Error?
That's an old RUU so use the one I linked to
This is what i'm doing now:
Volume- and power in 5 seconds.
Plug the USB cable to the phone. (Now i can hear ''dy-dy'' from my computer, which means that my computer has detected a hardware. BUT i can't find the phone's SD Card in ''My computer'' - should i could do this?
But in my Applications i can find it under ''Special applications'' - i think i will translate i too - as ''Android 1.0''.
Now i run the RUU which you've linked to, but then i geat Connectin Error 170.
hmm?
You should be holding BACK, not volume down, when you turn it on as you need to be in FASTBOOT not HBOOT to run an RUU
Lol okay, i feel like a morron now, sorry for not have seen this.
But i still get the error 170, usb connection error!
Do i need to install HTC Sync? I've uninstalled it for the sake of unrevoked3.
And is there another way to do this? Over the phone exclusively maybe - if my USB connection fails all the time.
No you don't need HTC Sync. Sounds like you've USB-bricked the phone. You could try extracting out the PB99IMG.zip from the RUU and flash it that way but as you can't see what you're doing it's hard
And how can i see which HBOOT i got? Just want to check regarding to this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748498
Haven't a clue, doens't matter as the RUU I posted is the newest one so will work regardless
Oh, okay.
Well i'm trying to flash PB99IMG now. I'm just hoping im doing it right allthough i can't see anything.
I'm doing as following: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucBs9RVGL0w
You don't flash it like a custom ROM. You get the PB99IMG.zip from the ROM, copy it to the root of the SD card and then turn on into HBOOT. The phone will then find it and ask if you want to flash it - say yes and that's it!
Oh okay. Just from the ROM you've linked to me?
And can you remember how to say yes, just power button?
Normally it says press up for to continue but I can't remember off the top of my head
EDIT: Yep, volume up to start
Thanks mate, i'll keep on trying various of thing.
Hi guys, I have managed to get black screen issue whilst trying to revert to stock rom on my gf's phone. I was using custom rom before using the unrevoke3 method, but never made a goldcard. The phone is O2 branded.
All the info I can find refers to having a goldcard. Is this true? Is there another way. I have read so much now and can't find a definative answer.
Thanks in advance

When do you get the black screen? Or you don't have screen at all? Can you go into the bootloader (vol - and power button)?

The black screen is there as soon as you turn on. The phone is booting and I can get to bootloader, but I can't see anything on the screen. I had originally flashed using the unrevoke3 and Alpharev methods, but never created a goldcard and every method I have read mentions needing a goldcard. I don't at the moment have another device i.e: android or win mob device to get the sdcard cid so for now unable to make a goldcard.
A bit stumped to say the least.

Can you access the device with fastboot?
Sounds like a slcd brick for me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831734
Exactly can u access fastboot? or just take off the battery and put it in again.
One can only use fastboot if one is s-off.
Thanks for the replies guys.
I think I have s-on.
Not sure about fast boot as I can't see anything on the screen.
Dont need a goldcard.
1. charge the phone
2. take out battery and put it in again
3. turn on the phone(just hit the power button once) (it will vibrate and make the booting sound)(DO NOT touch the phone, just boot it)
4. Use this (http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_144166_signed.exe)
5. you should see a working phone...
6. report if u can get it working

Sebastianlow, you are a fecking ledgend mate. This has totally solved the problem.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
This solution should be stickied. I had searched loads of threads and loads of sites, but nothing gave a definative answer.
Again Sebastianlow, I can't thank you enough.

No need to pay first try to hold the volume down button and then hold power button untill you go in bootloader after this connect the phone to a computer if your battery is empty the best way is to connect battery pack on the back side pins and try then go in bootloader but if your battery iss complete dead no solution you must to charge ytour phone but this can be done from bootloader with the bat file
EDIT: Next time when you are in trouble ask before discharge the phone
Have you flashed boot.img?
E: se this too

Hi disaster Again
the above problem i mentioned was solved, i could get my laptop to recognise the phone in ADB and i just had to enter the command adb reboot bootloader.
but now i have even bigger problem. i was running ARHD and everything was going fine unless i decided to upgrade to miui based on 4.4.4
so i went into fastboot by typing adb reboot bootloader and then flashed the boot.img of miui rom, then i pressed power down in fastboot thinking i'll connect and then go into recovery and then flash the zip of the rom
but now i cant get into either recovery or fastboot(bootloader) and neither my phone is recognised in adb.
please guys help me out.
Have you read this and followed all steps exactly?
Can you enter bootloader holding vol down and power button?
Do you have recovery on device?
See i cannot go into bootloader or recovery anyhow, yes i had recovery on my device by which i flashed the ARHD
i Flashed the boot image for the MIUI bases on 4.4.4 but now it doesnt boot up, neither i can nacces bootloader nor it is recognised by ADB

Hi there
I've been writing about my problem for days now and I still haven't sorted it out. I'm just making the problem worse everytime I read all these forums. I messed up. I rooted when I shouldn't have. I get that. Please, I beg one of you to help me.
I tried to load software this morning and it just died. Screen went back. It seeemed to have been hard bricked. But then on the XDA forum I read how to keep playing with the up down volume buttons and the power buttons and it sometimes goes on.
Mine came on and it seems to have gone to recovery / install / etc screen (big buttons). Whatever I select, it always shows restarting and then the screen dies again and I have to play with it again. Obviously the software is messed up.
What software do I load here at this screen? What do I select? Recover or install or what? Please guys, the phone is on sufficiently enough that HTC will be able to see the phone was rooted. So I won't be able to get them to help. I need your help. Please???

Can't you go to bootloader > fastboot and use RUU?
i had almost same problem and managed to do this .
connect phone to charger or to pc via usb , keep pressing power and volume up bottons , unless phone starts charging (with charging battery logo),it will take 1 minute or so , after that remove cable and push Volume down and Power button together, keep pressing for a few second and phone should boot in bootloader , then you can choose fastboot mode and do RUU method , or if you have custom recovery , you can install some rom with it or restore backup (if you have one)
1. Put your device in bootloader/fastboot mode and run command fastboot getvar all and post result here (minus serial no. & imei no.)
2. Which recovery is that (you mentioned big button), TWRP ?
Hey guys
Thanks for the responses. It was just too daunting for me, so I took it to a repair centre. They will load the stock htc software on it.
Thanks anyway
OK ... no problem ...that's what we're going to suggest to you too. We have almost all the files needed on XDA
