Dear Xda's
I Have An DHD, i tried for te first time to Flash/Root/S-OFF/HBOOT and changing ROM. it went not good
Yesterday i have flashed new rom, as it said on multiple thread in here, but today i dared to change kernel on my phone (i like car tuning, so i tryed tuning my phone
But now, i came to the point of no return(for me). My phone will only show HTC logo on the white backround, thats it, no bootloader, no recovery noting... I ave
read every thread abour Rom/Root/S-Off, Eng S-OFF, i'm sure every thing. I can only turn the phone, by taking the battery off... I have formated my SD card, because of i thought that i ave used CMW partition, before the fix...
And now i will be glad with a stock Rom, Kernel a.s.o...
Please help me, some one... i really don't know what to do...
I so sure that i have read twise before starting to change stuff on my phone.

download full wipe from xda.. google it "full wipe 1.3 xda" put the zip in ur sdcard.. put the rom(watever rom ur using) in sdcard as well ..
now take battery off ur phone.. back in.. press and hold vol down + power key.. u will go into bootloader.. then click on recovery.. ur phone will boot into CMW recovery > install zip fro sdcard.. 1st do a full wipe.. then flash the rom again.. u will be fine
i'll try now, so happy some one can help, i havent sleept for hours
Else if that does not work ( when i try to boot into recovery that way my phone vibrates, shows a green light and does nothing.. )
connect the phone to your computer and in ADB type: " reboot recovery "
I agree with leather face, I haven't tried this method but I have heard this will solve your problem, when I had the same sort of problem I downloaded the ace stock rom the placed the file on my SD card then took my battery out then reinserted it & powered back on while holding down the volume down button then once in bootloader select fastboot then it will ask to load zip, select yes now it will say done, reboot then you should be back at the beginning again with a working phone start again from scratch but this time do a wipe from recovery and make sure you are using the correct clockwork with the correct rom ie clockwork 2.*.*.* with Cyanogen 6 & clockwork 3.*.*.* with Cyanogen 7 & then you should be just fine mate
now i've tried... it says it cant find recovery file? in CWM loader
it says wrong image...
edit: signature is wrong (or some thing like that) should i rename the .zip file?
or sould i generate a Goldcard for MD98IMG.zip?

You'll only need a goldcard if your phone is branded.
With something like a T-Mobile Bootscreen or else.
The Filename should be PD98IMG.zip and it should be in the root folder of your SD.

Dude,DON'T PANIC!
Download the attached CWM 2.5.1.3 rar and unrar it.
Now,do you have ADB setup on your pc?If not,search for a guide(Google is your friend),there are many.Supposing you have ADB setup,place the downloaded CWM .img file inside the folder where fastboot is.Open CMD in windows(Type cmd in RUN on your start menu) and there type "cd" and navigate to the folder where fastboot is,like "cd C:/YourPc'sName/android/tools" without the quotes.If it changes folder(it will if you type everything correctly) type without the quotes "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.3-ace.img".The you will be able to boot in recovery through fastboot.
Else,you can use Fastboot commander which is supposed to have a nice GUI and make things easier,but I haven't used it.
Hope I helped!
FIXED,
Fith Fastboot commander (putting my phone in FASTBOOT USB)
Flashing CWM tool, after that I'm da king (Thanks to all, specially mimilover)
Installed Rom, kernel and now nunning 1300Mghz trying it out...

Hi Guys,
This is my first post and its only in desperation.
I have a HTC Desire. I upgraded to 2.3.3. After reading how unrevoked doesn't work on this, I created a Goldcard and managed (all on my own) to turn the phone to s /off.
Now Im stuck, many threads explain the process in different ways (as most of them related to pre 2.3.3). So do I load a custom rom onto the Goldcard and flash from there? Also, do I need to install a rollback program first or after?
Really sorry for starting a new thread, but you will see by my profile, Ive been at this for two days .
[Takes cover for flaming session]
im no expert, indeed i have only rooted only a few days ago. I was lucky to have a unlocked phone.
I guess to help the more expert in here is maybe if you detail what now shows on the Bootscreen, eg VOL Down + Power button.
Have you now got a custom Recovery installed, the common one is Clockwork Recovery?
I believe, that Revolutionary.io is able to handle 2.3.3... anyway it what i used to Root, and it installed CWR and from recovery i was able to point it to the ROM zip file and it all installed fine.
Now i didnt need a goldcard so i cant really say if there some additional steps involved first.
u need revolutionary to make s-off, then u can root it flashing the super user zip from the documentation, u don't need the goldcard, it will also install a custom recovery
official revolutionary site: http://revolutionary.io
official revolutionary doc: http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/revolutionary
complete guide: http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/index.php/HTC_Desire
don't worry about it, we are all here to help so let me explain some things.
A goldcard is a tool that allows you to use an unbranded RUU on a branded phone, effectively de branding it, as the RUU (Rom Update Utility) ignores the CID (Customer ID) of the device.
To flash different ROM's, you will need to flash something called "recovery", there are many versions, each arguably, or questionably better than the next. In order to flash recovery, you need to download a recovery image.
Download the above file, rename it to "recovery.img" for simplicity, and put it in your C:\
now the flashing process, there are many tools and utilities you can use, but for now, let's just use command prompt as it does not require you to install anything, just as long as you get the commands right. (you'll also need the file I attached [fastboot.exe], just unzip it into your C:\)
Ok, once you've done the steps stated above, turn your phone off. With it off, PRESS AND HOLD the RETURN/BACK key on your phone, and while still holding it, press the POWER key. This will boot you into "fastboot" mode.
Plug your phone in via USB to your PC.
Open command prompt (start menu, accessories, command prompt)
type the following:
Code:
cd\
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Congratulations, you have now flashed recovery. This now allows you to flash ROM's.
Put whatever ROM you would like on your SD-CARD, I recommend CyanogenMod (for No Sense) or MIUI (For something completely different) or RCMixS for Sense (sense 2.1) (all comes with preference)
To boot into recovery, boot into bootloader, (while powered off, press and hold VOLUME DOWN, and POWER), use the volume keys to navigate, and the power key to select. Navigate to RECOVERY and hit power.
When you are booted into recovery, before flashing a new rom IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BACK UP!!. You can do this in the "backup and restore" menu.
Once you are backed up, go to "mounts and storage" and use "format [partition]" option, to format boot, system, and userdata.
Then, go to "flash zip from sdcard", and find the ROM you have chosen, and wait for it to finish flashing.
Good luck to you
Wow guys, cant thank you enough
I actually had a small amount of brain oozing out of my ears at one point Thanks for the custom info, like I said, the tuts are excellent, but being new, they are a bit irrelevant if you half way through the process. Trust me to upgrade to an 'unrootable' system a week before I decide to root it
I will remove my flame-proofing now
Thanks again

@bortak
Thats only when he have s-off...If i not wrong he have the stock 2.3.3 with no root an s-on

***first of all , yes i searched (hours) in the net for any solutions , but non of them were a suitable solution for my problem .
****and i am not a newbie , i just opened a new account
so i am having my problem with my htc evo 4G (CM 7.1 nightly 256) ;
all start when i accidently uninstalled bustybox (not the installer the package itself) - and the uninstallation ended in failure...
so the first thing i tried to do is to reinstall it , but it sad it having problem with getting a superuser permission - and yes i checked it , and it actually do getting positive permission from the superuser ...
so the first problem I faced is getting the wifi work , when I am trying to connect to my router and it starting to maintain a ip address , it gets stuck in that position .
so after I tried a several fixes , without luck , I decided to restore my nanadroid backup ;
so I went to the bootloader and when I press the restore option it doesn’t go to clockworkmod it just like rebooting and coming back to the same bootloader ,only with other options (reboot , bootloader, shut down…) .
so this is my problem , I already delete my personal files (apps…) from my droid , so I have now a clean android …
while I tried to fix my problem I noticed that i am getting problems with all the superuser permission staff … for example apps that need a su permission doesn’t work (root explorer) .
so my droid is pretty f%^ked , I am having s-off , but without clockworkmod restore , and problem with the su, and again WIFI .
a help will be much appreciated .
I've had a similar issue. I personally prefer the Amon_RA recovery. Try this:
-Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026.
-download PC36IMG.zip and place into the root of your SDcard.
-Power off phone. Boot into boot loader(volume down then power button; make sure fast boot is turned off)
-In bootloader choose to "update" when asked to by pushing volume up button.
-try to enter recovery.
-Flash whatever rom you want.
-If you want Clockworkmod recovery: Once you have access to your phone install Rom manager and install Clockworkmod recovery
Download Amon Ra recovery. Rename to PC36IMG or PC36IMG.zip. (i don't remember if it needs the ".zip" part or not. Try it both ways. Put on root of sdcard. Boot into bootloader. It will ask to update. Select yes. You will then have a recovery. Go into recovery and reflash the rom.

I think you have to leave the ".zip." Not 100% sure though. I leave it intact and it still recognizes it.

After you reinstalled the latest version of buisybox go to recovery and fix permissions,that would have solved your problem.Theres no need to reinstall a new recovery.

I'm saying the first time he did it,before everything got screwed up,anyway,download the latest release of RA's recovery,if its not already,rename it to PC36IMG.zip,don't unzip it,put it on the root of your SD card,turn off your phone,turn it on while holding down on the volume rocker,once in Hboot,it will ask you if you want to update,hold the volume rocker in the up position,then it will install the new recovery,it will then ask you if you want to reboot,hold the volume rocker in the down position,then scroll and go into recovery,have you partitioned your sd card yet?
no success ;
i put the file in the root of my sd card , and when i go to the bootloader the only thing that happen is that it like freeze for a 3 seconds and write after "searching for PC36DIAG.zip ...... .. .. PC36diag.niff ... no success/didn't find " (something like that) - not something new BTW ... and than i get the standard menu.
and no , i didn't turn fastboot off , because i don't have this option , for my knowledge its a option from the retail htc rom , not on CM .
and for what i need to partition my sd card , the rom is in the internal phone memory.

The file should read PC36IMG and its a zip file.
Its better to partition,most newer roms are requiring it and its great on saving internal memory.What Hboot version are you running?
Is what we might have to do is update your Hboot,sounds like yours could be corrupted.

Correct; I'd just like to add, try to call the .zip a package, cuz in the past, when people have referred to them as 'folders' people started creating actual folders named PC36IMG.zip and placing the zip inside them...lol
A second addition, a PC36IMG file is flashed only in the bootloader, not the recovery screen.

Ok , so i have HBOOT 6.16.1002 , radio 2.15.00.0808...
i think maybe i need to unroot my phone and than root it again , god knows how ...
please guys (and girls [if you are a girl - dibs ]) help me !!!
Try this if all else fails.
First boot into your bootloader, select FASTBOOT, then hit the power button. Then connect your phone to your computer. It should read FASTBOOT USB in red.
Since you used Revolutionary, you should already have the My HTC driver installed under your device manager under Android USB devices. If not this will never work until My HTC is installed.
Extract the zipped files attached to a folder called sdk on your C-drive. Then open a command prompt and type
c: <ENTER>
cd /sdk <ENTER>
fastboot flash recovery recovery-ra-supersonic-3.11-gnm.img <ENTER>
fastboot reboot-bootloader <ENTER>
If that works, hit the power button to select bootloader, then see if you can get into this recovery (it's Amon). I also believe you have and issue with your SD card, but I could be wrong.

Adding adb in linux is a bit of a chore, as you have to add the respositories and change the bashrc file. Though you can always use windows as a fall back.
Please note that you are doing all tasks in your own risk.
Preparation:
Download a clockwork recovery img file, for me I had 5.0.2.0 ace:
download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-ace.imgSince I am new in this field, you may need to do a research by yourself to sure this is the img for your device.
The link having box of versions:
download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries
A new ROM, you can look in the dev. page (or you already having a ROM wanna flash)
*You may need to unzip the ROM and zip it in "storage only" mode.
*Put your re-zipped ROM file into memory card (Should be in the root directory). You can see there is a boot.img in ROM, copy it out of ROM and you will need it later.
Backup all your stuffs like SMS, contact book etc... (I had failed in SMS and all my free apps)
Step:
Go HTC dev. to unlock your boot loader, if you have the problem about cmd error (like ERROR command dont exists) in getting token, you should look step 1 really carefully because you forgot to flash the RUU (Wonder it is a popular problem...)
*At here HTC dev. will ask you to create a folder to hold adb.exe, move your boot.img into it.
After unlock your boot loader, you should see the words ***unlocked*** in HBoot screen, so then go to fastboot and still using the cmd in prev. step, hits:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.imgYes your recovery img should put together with adb.exe in the same folder
So then now you have an unlocked bootloader and a clockwork recovery in your unroot device Backup your current ROM with CW recovery AGAIN (just for some accidents if they occur...)
In CW Recovery, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, in advanced page, wipe Dalvik cache and wipe battery stats.
*This will erase your data and CANNOT undo.
Select "intall zip from sdcard", then "choose zip from sdcard", find your zipped ROM file and say Yes.
Congratulations you had successed to flash a ROM BUT if you are the first time flashing ROM on your device (and this is what supposed to be lol). Your device will freeze at the boot screen (which is white background with green words "HTC"). So then here is the last step...
Go to bootloader and enter fastboot. Remeber the boot.img? Type in:
fastboot flash boot boot.imgin cmd.
So now you can enjoy your new ROM (Most of ROMs will take a minute to boot in the first time)
These stuffs took me lot of days to research... It may have another better, easy way. But I would appreciate if there are some thanks for me

hi guys,
today i made a huge mistake. i was trying to deinstall the cm9 by just wiping my phone. accidentaly i made a "system wipe" with my recovery. now my phone ist stuck in the "this build is for development purposes only" screen. i tried to reboot into recovery via the aio kit - error: device not found. (led not flashing, not even when i connect it to the "normal" loading adapter). i just read another thread which ended in sending the device back to htc. i wonder if there is any possibility to safe my phone from that.

Are you able to acces the Bootloader by closing the phone and restart it by keeping pressed at same time VOLUME DOWN + POWER ?
Be careful: Do NOT press volume UP!, Do not hold Volume Down for too long!
Once you are in the bootloader you should be able to:
A:Go into recovery and repair it from there in you have the ROM on your SD card.
B:If you are unable to acces recovery mode from bootloader, try to use the All In One Tool and flash the TWRP Recovery (the one in the right part of the window) also, note that there are too version, CDMA and GSM, if you have a sim card flash GSM, if you do not have a simcard use CDMA.
Let me know how it went

B:If you are unable to acces recovery mode from bootloader, try to use the All In One Tool and flash the TWRP Recovery (the one in the right part of the window) also, note that there are too version, CDMA and GSM, if you have a sim card flash GSM, if you do not have a simcard use CDMA.
Let me know how it went

thanks for ur help.
edit: i feel.. pranked now it worked and i went from bootloader to recovery (twrp already installed). can u tell me what to do now? thanks a lot already
Hm,
Well since you cant remove the battery on this phone, id suggest to just let it finish with what it has left off of the battery. once it is closed try to recharge it and then try to boot in recovery, ofc you might not be able to do this today, depends how much battery you had left when the problem started, but it's a chance, also if it's rooted you bootloader will be unlocked so i doubt HTC will grant you warranty for it (not 100% about this though). let us know if you manage to do any progress with it after you manage to make it close.
cheers

i just edited my post. managed to get into recovery (twrp). what do i have to do now?
Download a new rom and transfer it to your sd card, then flash it from your recovery.
If u have the ROM in the SD card just flash it and reboot other wise as he mentioned above

Ok, last night i went to sleep.
You now need to find a way to put a ROM on your SD card. whatever ROM you choose make sure you have the correct kernel for it (in every post for ROMs you will find a download link to the correct kernel aswell).
So what you do now (after you have the ROM .zip file on your SD card and your Kernel file in your PC) is:
-Put your phone into Bootloader, Select fast boot and connect the USB cable, and make sure it tells on your phone "FASTBOOT USB"
-Then in All in One select "Flash Kernel" and browse to the correct Kernel, and flash it.
-Reboot your phone in Recovery mode, you have the option in the fastboot screen.
-In the Recovery menu select Factory Reset -> Wipe System.
-While still in recovery go to "Install update from SD card" (or something similar) and choose the ROM .zip file, wait for it to be flashed
-reboot your phone (1st boot is always a bit slower, could take up to 5 minutes).
-after you get to your main screen, reboot the phone again and flash a Google Apps (gapps) .zip file. You will find the correct version from your ROM in the official thread of the ROM. You DO NOT run a factory reset, wipe system or anything like that for flashing Gapps.
Good luck.
got my phone working again. additionally i tried to "re-stock" my phone via a ruu.exe. now i have a new problem ( -.- ;D). my phone wont connect to wlan. it always hangs on "authenticating with wifi (dont know if translated it the right way)". some has an idea how to solve that problem?
p.s. sry for answering this late. had to do a lot of stuff for my finals :/

okay so heres what happened.
I have an international htc one x that is indeed rooted with no roms installed.
I did create a back up and then tried to install the MIUI rom (but I dont really know where that is on my phone. I know I made one with rom manager. I dont have any backups on my computer though)
It worked, however, it didnt have wifi or data signals so i went back to try again.
I opened my bootloader screen. For the record, it is unlocked and hboot is version 1.73 if that helps.
I wiped cashe/data/delvic everything and even factory reset and installed the MIUI RD rom now hoping it would have a difference.
The darn thing got stuck on the MIUI bootloader for hours.
I did the same thing again a few times, sometimes in different orders and then it passed on and another screen came saying 'starting apps'. That got stuck for hours too.
Now I don't have any other roms on my phone, just the MIUI RD. The original miui just vanished too, i dont see it anymore. Also, when I put my USB wire to the phone and connect it to the pc, I cant transfer newer files into it. So this is all I have access to on my phone apparently.
I tried flashing a boot.img and a couple kernels but no luck. I've been trying to do this for all day and this is my first time so I don't know much about it.
I've been googling and somethings say to open cmd and type but i keep getting 'fastboot is not recognized as an internal or external command'
Currently, its not stuck at either the MIUI screen or the Starting Apps. but just the HTC logo screen and not going past.
I don't really want to install any new roms considering i've worked really hard to get this to work and I really want it now more so.
How do i fix this? I want to use this rom.
flash philz recovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240646), usb mounting should work on that, then:
steps to install ROM
1. bootloader version should be 1.3x
2. copy ROM to SD Card
3. copy boot.img INCLUDED in the ROM zip to fastboot folder
4. flash the boot.img in fastboot
5. in recovery, wipe system/data/cache/everything
6. flash rom
7. restart
but how exactly do i put it on my phone? my computer isnt detecting my phone when i connect it? im sorry im not exactly an expert on this.
Go to recovery - mounts and storage - hook up the usb cable - tap the last option in the mounts and storage list and wait a few minutes. It won't be mounted instantly
ok i flashed the philtz recovery but when i flash the boot.img it says:
Finding update package
Opening update package
Installing update
installation aborted
for reference: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957490
thats the rom i used and i flashed the boot.img flasher thats right above the download link
edit: also i tried just flashing the rom again and im still stuck on the HTC screen.
its not even going to the miui screen or starting apps anymore. :[
Boot.img must be flashed via fastboot. Not via recovery !
ok, i looked up how to fastboot, downloaded sdk files and i moved the boot.img into the fastboot folder and i opened command prompt there and wrote fastboot flash boot boot.img but i keep getting:
'fastboot is not recognized as an internal or external command'
what did i miss?
EDIT: ok, so the fastboot folder i got from the page didnt work so i used a different fastboot folder, dragged the .boot there and now it worked! finally passed the screen and wifi is connecting!
thank you!
Good, thanks to @tomascus. He summed it up real nice
Cheers
