HTC Desire (unrevoked root) - Infinity reebot after OTA!

HTC Desire (unrevoked root) - Infinity reebot after OTA!
Please help me! the phone reebot reebot and reebot! how can i format or hard reset my android froyo with htc sense 2.2(hboot 0.93..)?
"Clear storage" not WOrk!

First, try to wipe the phone from Recovery menu. Access recovery by pressing Vol- and Power button utill system boots up.
Press Vol- to select Recovery, press Power button to choose recovery. When the red triangle is shown, press Both Vol+ and Power button together. Choose: Wipe data/factory reset, and then Choose: Reboot system.
If you continue to bootloop, I would suggest the easiest thing to do is download the 2.29.405.2 RUU from shipped-roms.com and run that (To flash the RUU, boot your phone into fastboot (power + back), connect your phone to the PC, wait until it says fastboot usb the run the RUU)
You will then be unrooted. You can then check for updates again or root your device.
If you receive any driver/USB associated errors when running the RUU, check that HTC Sync is installed, run as Administrator, and temporarily disable any AV software.
If you still have problems, then try the PB99IMG (rename the RUU to PB99IMG.zip and place to the root of your SD card, then flash via the Bootloader screen) method as it is a lot easier than the first method I mentioned. Just remember that if you were branded before you will need a Gold Card to allow this method to work.
If you do try the later method, remember to remove the PB99IMG.zip file from your SD card afterwards or else it will run if you ever go into recovery mode.

You can't apply official OTA on rooted devices!! You have to use RUU and root again. Or else this happens!

Go into recovery and flash the update.zip again. This will unroot your phone but you will be stuck with a superuser.apk which does nothing.

[Q] Can I unroot a Desire with this method?

Hi Guys! really new to all this and don't really know what I'm doing, I rooted my HTC Desire quite easily with unrevoked3 (very painless), however I have realized a rooted phone is wasted on me and I'll prob do more damage than good if I leave it this way.
I have tried to unroot it with a few diff options I have found here however keep failing (it seems like the case with anyone who has a 0.93 bootloader) I have found the following method but i think its for an EVO, my question is would it work on a Desire with 0.93 bootloader?
STEP 1: DOWNLOAD
Download both the PC36IMG.zip and the S-On Tool to your PC Desktop. DO NOT EXTRACT
STEP 2: MICRO USB
Connect your device to your PC with the Micro USB cord.
STEP 3: DISK DRIVE
Chang your charging options to Disk Drive.
Menu > Setting > Connect to PC > Default Connection Type > Disk Drive > Done
STEP 4: S-ON TOOL TO SDCARD
Transfer unrevoked-forever-son.zip to the ROOT of your SDCard.
(Do not transfer the PC36IMG.zip yet)
STEP 5: TURN OFF DEVICE
Power down the device by holding the Power Button for 2 seconds. Allow it to shutdown completely. Wait about 10 seconds before next step.
STEP 6: RECOVERY MODE
Hold down VOL DOWN + POWER until device boots into a White Screen.
Move to RECOVERY by using the VOL DOWN toggle and select by using POWER button.
STEP 7: FLASH ZIP
Select unrevoked-foreverson.zip in the selection area and press POWER button to complete the FLASH.
STEP 8: IS S-ON, ON?
When the FLASH is complete, Reboot the device into the Bootloader screen by holding down VOL + POWER until it boots into the White Screen. Check to make sure it says S-ON on the TOP. If it does, select RECOVERY with the VOL DOWN toggle. (continue to step 9)
If it says S-OFF, repeat STEPS 5 - 7 until it says S-ON.
STEP 9: TURN OFF DEVICE
Power down the device by holding the Power Button for 2 seconds. Allow it to shutdown completely. Wait about 10 seconds before next step.
STEP 10: RECOVERY MODE
Hold down VOL DOWN + POWER until device boots into a White Screen.
Move to RECOVERY by using the VOL DOWN toggle and select by using POWER button.
STEP 11: TRANSFER PC36IMG.zip TO SDCARD
Connect the MICRO USB Cord. There is an option for this in both the Amon RA and Clockwork recovery.
Transfer the PC36IMG.zip to the ROOT of your SDCard.
STEP 12: UNHOOK USB FROM PC + USB OFF
SAFELY remove the USB from the PC and then turn OFF USB in Recovery.
STEP 9: TURN OFF DEVICE
Power down the device by holding the Power Button for 2 seconds. Allow it to shutdown completely. Wait about 10 seconds before next step.
STEP 10: RECOVERY MODE
Hold down VOL DOWN + POWER until device boots into a White Screen.
Move to RECOVERY by using the VOL DOWN toggle and select by using POWER button.
The Device will check for the PC36IMG.zip and then ask you YES/NO to apply the newly introduced update. Press VOL UP = YES or VOL DOWN = NO.
Once Completed, press VOL UP to reboot.
thanks for any help on this

Try using this method instead:
Download your original RUU from shipped-roms.com
You could try also try OTA_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.2-2.10.405.2_R_P_release8gn61bgo3rswcw24.zip if you wanted to. It is a generic RUU and is not for a specific carrier/network.
If you download the RUU .zip and not the .exe, rename it to "PB99IMG.zip" (and not PB99IM.zip.zip, the .zip is the extension and is not part of the actual filename itself)
Mount your SD card and then place the PB99IMG.zip to the root of the SD card.
Unmount the SD card and turn off the phone.
Hold down the volume down key, and press the power button once, release the vol down key when in the Bootloader screen.
You will then be asked to apply the PB99IMG.zip.
As a result, this will erase all your phone data, just like performing a hard/factory reset.
Note: if your were originally branded, you will require the use of a Gold Card also to bypass the RUU CID check. To create one, see the Gold Card tool below in my sig with a card reader or another phone.
Note: If you download one of the RUU .exe files from shipped-roms, then the rom.zip file will need to be extracted from the RUU in Windows, renamed to PB99IMG.zip, and placed to the root of the SD card (same procedure as described above).

Thanks, I will try this in the morning once I have extracted the rom.zip and renamed etc,
I will let you know how i get on fingers crossed.....(really worried)

ok I couldn't wait till am,........I am happy to report your method work brilliantly......huge thanks mate.....!

[Q] Soft Bricked Evo!!!! Help!!!

Help my friend soft bricked his EVO, (tried to do the steps in this videohttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgOdvb8JBgc and now all it does is hang on boot logo(HTC loop), the only thing i can do is get into the Hboot, or the recovery from the hboot, and the recovery only shows a red triangle with no words, apparently it says S-off in the HBoot. Please help me provide me the necessary steps to get the phone working, or flashed back to stock.

don't worry guys i fixed it, by doing these steps
UNROOT GUIDE
NOTE: This will erase all data on the phone. (Will not erase data on the SDCard)
1) If your on Hboot 2.10 Download the PC36IMG.zip Here. If your on Hboot 2.02 Download the PC36IMG.zip here then Unrevoked s-on here rename the pc36img file to pc36img.zip copy that and the unrevoked s-on tool to the root of your sd
2) Power your off. Power the Phone back on into the boot loader by holding power and vol-down until your presented with a white screen.
3) It will scan for the pc36img.zip. Select no to flash. Select recovery from the menu. Once in recovery choose flash zip from the menu, and select unrevoked forever s-on.
4) When its done flashing select reboot from the menu.
5) From here either run the official ruu or boot back into the boot loader (see step 2). When it scans and ask you to flash the pc36img.zip select yes then yes to reboot.

Help, failed attempt of custom rom...

Hiya i wanted to root and CWM my new desire HD so i followed this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841076
Everything went fine and i got CWM up and running and installed MIUI but didnt like it so i wanted to go CM7 but i accidently went to the first sort of recovery mode (the one with the android on skateboards =)
http://www.nexus-lab.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/desire-hboot.jpg )
So it automatically started to install the HTC android 2.2 Ver 1.32.405.6
that went all fine but now all the apps keep automatically crashing but the worst bit is i cant seem to be able to access the recovery mode or CWM no matter how i press the volume buttons during start up i know the volume buttons work fine as they change volume etc but when i press them at start up its as if the phone ignores them and just countines to turn the phone on normally...
Im new to the desire hd but i do have experience from CWM from Dell Streak days...
Any help appreciated...

Power off phone.
HOLD vol dn, & then press Pwr On button once (Don't release vol dn until have Bootloader menu (HBOOT).
Use vol key to go to highlight Recovery, press pwr button once
Should boot into CWM Recovery (mine shows the HTC logo for a few secs first), if it's installed properly
Edit: If you still have the 1.32 PD98IMG.zip on the sdcard, it will ask if you want to install/update. NO.

Ive tried this but no matter how i press the vol dwn button it refuses to go into recovery mode and just boots up into normal sense...

You say all apps keep crashing,..........
If ROM Manager doesn't crash, you can "Reboot into Recovery" from there.

Hold on im getting something...
i can access the recovery bit but when i highlight the recovery button it gives me a red esclamation mark
so i ran a factory reset and the apps seem to be working for the moment
but still the red esclamation mark
i assume CWM didnt install properly then? but the rom manager says its installed fine but when i click on the boot into CWM it gives me the same symbol?

Hi there,
I think your phone might not be totally powering off, hence that's why you are not able to get into the bootloader [ the one with Android on skateboards ]
Try this: Make sure your phone is powering off completely before you try to boot into the bootloader. Go to go into Settings > Applications and uncheck the "FastBoot" option in order for it to power down completely.
Then try the same sequence again. Holding down the Volume Down button while starting up.
See if it works.

What happens when your in that ! screen, HOLD vol up & press power button once?
Also
You can also try to boot into Bootloader or Recovery via ADB commands.
Enusre USB debugging enabled and fastboot option disabled.
Check adb connection to phone first in CMD (Command prompt) type:
"adb devices"
you should get a serial number of the phone HTxxxxxxxxxx, meaning it can communicate ok
Then try either;
1. "adb reboot recovery"
2. "adb reboot fastboot"

Ive managed to fix it by going to rom manager and installing a previous version of CWM
Thanks all the guys for the help! XDA FTW

OH just a quick side note if i did every want to just say return everything to normal like how i got the Desire HD you know no CWM or custom roms just with the sense v1.7 how would i do that?

Make a CWM recovery of your Setup now, and also keep it on you pc for safe keeping. Never know if the sdcard becomes corrupted or not. Also make a note of which recovery version was made to produce the backup. Some are incompatable when trying to restore you backup with a different version.
If you mean normal, there are a few links around to revert to stock (if that's what you mean), and tools to help make s-on again. By flashing the stock RUU, you will lose root, and it will overwrite the recovery with stock recovery. If you had to made a goldcard prior to rooting, you may require this.
Added info from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537
To go back to S-ON:
•Flash stock ROM (RUU)
•Temproot using Visionary
•Use my tool, do Stock CID and S-ON (enter brand CID if you had a branded device, see second post)
•Enjoy your factory-state phone

Adding on to what UpInTheAir said, "If you still have the 1.32 PD98IMG.zip on the sdcard, it will ask if you want to install/update."
Note:
If u have finished the Downgrading process and u r done with the 1.32 PD98IMG.zip, remove it from the SDcard, safekeep it on your PC somewhere (in case your might need it again, maybe).
If you do not remove it, each time that you startup into the bootloader [yes, the one with the Android on skateboards.. Hehe.. ], it would automatically scan and if it finds that PD98IMG.zip file, it would begin loading the image to install the 1.32 stock ROM.

[Q] Droid incredible stuck at "HTC Incredible" screen.

okay, well i've done my share of research on these forums and others, and attempted recovery of this phone a few different ways, and nothing is working. i'll tell you everything i know and have tried, and unless i forget something, i'm at a loss for what else to try.
booting the phone regularly, it sticks on the HTC Incredible boot screen.
pressing power and volume down, i can get to hboot. hboot says:

Well you wont be able to flash CWM because of it being S-On. If you were stuck at the HTC screen prior to you trying all of this, it may be a hardware related issue.

U havto reroot (s-off) in order to flash a rom. Try rerooting.

Yup. I've seen a few Inc that randomly started rebooting and then it stays stuck at the HTC screen. They all turned out to have hardware issues and they are were AMOLED Inc as well. I hope this isn't the case with yours.

sounds like the partitions are mess up. try flashing hboot again to get them to set right. then RUU.exe to get the stock GB back on then try to boot. you will loose any data on the phone with RUU.exe but it might get you a working phone again.

the hboot reflash reads the PB31IMG.zip and returns to hboot screen without offer to reflash. the hboot is .92, as is the version i'm trying to flash. and again, sd card IS fat32.
i used the ruu sucessfully, got all excited to see the new HTC screen in black with the loading bar, but when the flash finished, rebooted the phone, it's still stuck at the white screen. major downer.

no other ideas? paperweight? parts?

Hmmm I am having the exact same issues you are describing and nothing has worked on my phone so far. My phone is currently s-off though. This all started to occur after I did a backup through Rom manager and then also a backup through MIUI rom. A few hours later while it was charging it randomly started the reboot cycle flashing the htc incredible screen. I'll let you know if I am able to fix mine but at the moment it seems were both SOL.

Did you ever find a solution to this problem?

This is a guide I posted in androidforums about a month ago after i went though a bunch of crap to root my phone, hopefully it can be helpful
So, This is the second time I’ve tried to make this post and I feel like I should have known better than to make a giant post like this and then hit submit before copying it to word or something but anyway…..
I thought that I have been through so much to finally get this rooted and have my ROM installed that I thought I am certainly not the only person to have had this problem and I would organize a full instruction guide to Downgrade, root and flash when you have troubles with unrevoked for people who have had similar troubles.
NOTE: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE YOU CAUSE TO YOUR DEVICE, THIS GUIDE IS DESIGNED TO HELP DROID INCREDIBLE USERS WHO ARE HAVING TROUBLE ROOTING THEIR PHONES AND I DO NOT KNOW THE EFFECTS A SIMILAR PROCEEDURE WOULD CAUSE TO OTHER PHONES.
First things first, I want to give credit where credit is due. Scotty85 of these forums wrote a large portion of what I am about to tell you and I am simply copying it and I will give you links to his original posts so he gets credit.
Step 1: Downgrade your phone
If your phone already has Android 2.2 on it then you can skip to Step 2
The HTC Incredible cannot be rooted unless it is running android 2.2 froyo, so the first thing you must do is downgrade your phone: I will copy the instructions to here so they are all in one place but here is a link to the original post by Scotty85
http://androidforums.com/incredible...ot-2-3-4-downgrade-get-s-off.html#post3308718
I will provide you with new links because a lot of the ones on Scotty85’s post are dead
First Download These Files:
Hboot Drivers for The droid incredible – from unrevoked
Mini-adb_inc.zip from mediafire
PB31IMG.zip from mediafire
Now, follow the following instructions:
Scotty85 said:
3)prepare to downgrade
-extract the mini-adb_inc .zip. place the extracted folder on the root of your c\ drive. it comtains mtd0,flash_image,and some adb tools.
-extract zergRush.zip. take the image inside,and either copy/paste or drag it into your mini-adb_inc folder
-place the PB31IMG of 2.2 on the root of your sd card. rename PB31IMG. now is a good time to verify that your SD card is formatted "FAT32" by right clicking on the drive that is your phones sd card,then click "properties". if you find your card is formated anything else,youll have to re-format it. start by backing up all files to your PC as reformatting WILL wipe it clean. using your PC,do a full format to FAT32. you can then transfer the files back. *this is important-as your phone will not find the downgrade PB31IMG unless your card is formatted to FAT 32,and the file is correctly named.
4)downgrade with adb. make sure your phone is charged to 100% before starting.
-on windows 7,click the start bubble and type "command" in the search box. this should open a small black command window. from this point forward,all code will be in bold so you know what lines to copy and paste(or type,if you really want to type them all in). additional comments will be blue,and should not be copy/pasted. please note that each line is one command. copy/paste it into the prompt in your command window,and push enter. one line at a time.
at the end of the post,is a copy of my session,to show what the outputs of the entered lines should look like. hopefully,its a little less scary when you know that youre getting the right responses to the things you enter.
-make sure phone is plugged in and usb debugging checked on in charge only mode
-at the promt in your command window:
cd c:\mini-adb_inc this should change your command promt to "mini-adb_inc",indicating youre using that directory.
adb devices this should output your phones serial number,indicating its recognized
md5sums mtd0.img it should output a few things.at the end you should see this number 34307be744275f1db1dd16af04c37839
md5sums flash_image again,it will output some things,then you should see this number: 0098a7dd6600b55fac34fc6645be5d7a
md5sums zergRush again,output stuff, then this number:4a32187446c284c2b975845f3ab9ffc4
*all those numbers must match exactly. if they do then you can procede.
adb push zergRush /data/local/
adb shell this will change your promt to a $
chmod 755 /data/local/zergRush
/data/local/zergRush
this will cause zergRush to start,and it shoudl say "found a gingerbread!" followed by a bunch of other funny stuff.
last thing it says will be: Killing ADB and restarting as root... enjoy!
you should then be returned to your "mini-adb_inc>" prompt
adb push flash_image /data/local/
adb push mtd0.img /sdcard/
adb shell your prompt should change to a #
cd /data/local
chmod 0755 /data/local/flash_image
cd /data/local
./flash_image misc /sdcard/mtd0.img
you can now downgrade back to 2.2,so you can run "unrevoked forever" to regain s-off
exit to get out of your adb shell,and back to the "mini-adb_inc" prompt
adb reboot bootloader this will boot your phone to "fastboot" select "bootloader" with the power button.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now what you need to do is place PB31IMG.zip onto the root of your sd card and run hboot by when turning on your phone holding down the power and volume-down buttons at the same time. It should automatically find the file and ask if you wish to update and you just need to select “yes”.
Step 2: Flash Clockwork Recovery to your phone
You now need to download a few more files and place them somewhere that will be easy to find.
Unrevoked 3.22 from Mediafire – NOTE: if this link ever becomes broken, you must use version 3.22, 3.32 will NOT work.
Clockwork 5.0.2.0 from PvilleComp.com – make sure you use clockwork 5.0.2.0 with md5: e8ac35ddc1c37000bb0852d1f380b5bb
Next, run unrevoked 3.22, as an administrator if you can. And click file>Custom Recovery… and select the .img file which is inside the Clockwork 5.0.2.0 .zip that you downloaded, you may need to extract the folder first.
Next you can plug in your phone and select charge only and then go to Settings>Applications>development> and enable debugging.
Unrevoked should now recognize your phone and bring up a warning dialogue. Click ok and Unrevoked will run and flash Clockwork 5.0.2.0 to your phone. Do not touch your phone until you see a terminal-like screen on your phone in all blue text on a black background.
At this point just click “reboot system now”- you can navigate clockwork using the up and down volume keys and use the power button for “enter” or you can use the scroll button at the bottom of your droid incredible to navigate and center-click for “enter”.
Step 3: Rooting your phone
You will now need to download a few more files and place them on the root of your sd-card
Superuser.zip – found on androidsu.com – simply select the version of superuser.zip that matches your OS, 2.2 Froyo.
Unrevoked forever – from unrevoked.com – look for the unrevokedforever.zip file download
Like I said, place these files on to the root of your SD card at this time using the mass storage feature of your phone when it is booted into android.
Now, boot your phone into clockwork recovery mode. Simply turn off your phone and hold power + volume-down and it will start the hboot and then select “recovery” using the volume keys to navigate and the power button for “enter”
When booted into clockwork navigate to the “install zip from sd card” option and then find the superuser.zip file that you put onto your sd card. Select yes to install and clockwork will install superuser and root your phone.
At this time your phone is rooted, and if this is all you wanted then congratulations, you’re done! Simply click on “reboot system now” and enjoy your superuser powers responsibly
However, if you want to someday in the future flash a ROM to your phone go ahead and use the same procedure you used to install superuser.zip to install unrevokedforever.zip, this is simple to switch the phone from s-on to s-off, which means that the security is off and it will allow you to install unsigned ROMs to the phone (one’s not signed by HTC)
You may now click “reboot system now” to reboot into android.
Step 4: Installing a ROM
Find a ROM from Cyanogenmod or your favorite developer such as and put it onto the root of your sd card.
At this time you have two options for installing a ROM to your phone: you can either manually go into clockworkmod recovery and wipe the cache, data, and system of your phone and then use the “install zip from sd card” and install the ROM
OR you can install ROM manager to your phone (can be found on Google Play, formally Android Market) and install from there. All you need to do is use the app to reflash Clockwork and then select “Install ROM from SD card” and it will do all of the work for you. You can choose to backup your old ROM or to wipe the cache, but after this runs and completes you will boot into your new ROM.
Note: if you format your sd card before this process and have only the ROM on the card it will run much faster.
You’re done! Congratulations! You may have a ROM that does not have google apps pre-installed but there are many guides online for installing the android market and google apps. For example, for cyanogenmod you can just flash a gapps.zip specific for your version using clockwork and it will push all of the apps for you.
Enjoy your now rooted and flashed phone, and as always, root responsibly.

That is incorrect. Using unrevoked 2.3 you can root 2.3.4. And you do not need s-off to flash roms! I can flash roms left and right with no problem,and i can even flash kernels. S-off protects flashing radios.
As far as the stuck in hboot and splash screen,you may be stuck with the bootmode stuck to bootloader.
Google is your friend.
