Hi All,
I have a US Cellular BravoC and it being naughty. I have tried many different ROMS (stock, CM, Ethereal, MIUI) and all experience the same problem... If I use Google Navigator for 5 - 10 minutes the phone reboots. Sometimes during the reboot it gets "stuck" and enters a mode where the screen is black and the indicator LED flashs ~1 Hz. I have S-OFF with unrevoked-forever.
I am wondering if I am screwed? I purchased the phone about 5 months ago so I believe the warranty WOULD still be valid if it was S-OFF'd. If I felt like I had done something to cause this I wouldn't even bother trying to get it repaired, but this doesn't seem like something I did... it seems like a defective phone.
Any hints, tips, tricks that you could share with me?
Thanks,
Sam
It's probably that your phone will get to hot and then reboots. If you use navigator it will use the gps (obviously). So it uses more juice which will cause more heat. So yes it's probably a hardware problem. Do you have a PVT-1? That models are know for heat problems. Check in the bootloader.
I have noticed that the area below the battery (near the USB connection) gets quite warm before it reboots.
This is what I have on my bootloader screen:
BRAVOC DVT2 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-0.98.0000
MICROP-051e
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-2.05.10.08.11
Jul 5 2010, 19:14:11
So it looks like I have DVT-2?
I guess the big questions becomes: What is the best way to get this thing as close to stock as possible? I don't think I can do anything about the S-OFF, but I can use HTC sync and flash the 2.2 Stock update... I don't think that will replace the recovery though will it?
Thanks,
Sam
You should have known how to get rid of S-OFF before even doing it. Atleast in my opinion
Just run your stock ruu and you are S-ON again. And you also will be unrooted.
1. Boot into the bootloader.
2. Select fastboot.
3. Run the ruu.

Hey
I had loads of problems with my desire hanging so i decided to try and download the htc generic roms and run them!
RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.1_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121684
Also tried
RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.3_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121865
but they all hanged during the upgrade so now im totally stuck with a black screen or the White ruu screen saying:

RUU
-----------------
Is there any way to save my desire or is it bricked? and should i send it to htc support? I should have warranty i hope since its merely 2 month old!
One more question, before i ran these roms i HAVE NOT rooted my desire! Do i have to do so? My desire is currently still UNROOTED! Could that be the reason why the rom upgrades are failing or is it possible to do them on unrooted desires?
Although i dont even know if its possible to root it in this state.....
Is your handset branded? If so, did you create a goldcard?
Exactly what state is your handset currently in? Does it boot to use as normal?
If I were you I would read THIS and root your phone. Then install any rom you want. There are official and custom roms galore in the dev section.
If you have tried to install an incorrect rom on the phone and messed it up then I doubt HTC would honour the warranty anyway so there is no fear in rooting it! The only known bricking issue on these phones has a fix now so you haven't lost anything.
My phone boots up to that RUU error message so it doesnt boot!
The problem was it stopped booting all of a sudden with the original rom! It just hanged at the White startup screen with the green HTC letters!
But i could enter the Fastboot, Recovery, etc... menu!
So with that i tried with the USB to download the generic original roms! But after they failed (both of them) now each time i boot i get the HTC blackscreen with the error triangle inside!
But i can still install new roms, through the usb but none of them can finish after like 80% so they can still connect to the phone from the computer through usb!
The phone is unbranded as in not connected to any operator like vodafone or such! and its not rooted either!
so u think i should try to root it?
If it is definitely unbranded then no goldcard is needed. I'd say you should go for it and try to root it. Just to confirm it's unbranded, it doesn't have any network operator software on it at all? No boot screen or any operator apps or anything?
You will need to check the link I gave you and follow the instructions religiously! It's actually a fairly painless process. I found the easiest was the tiny core linux method. You don't need any linux experience to use it as you just type in about 4 lines of text.
Failing that, if it simply never goes past the boot screen then no one will know you tried to root! So it would be a simple warranty return to the place you got it, and as far as you are concerned you got up one morning and the phone was off. You tried to turn it on and the rest is history! I told the carphone warehouse that and was given a new handset there and then, but was within my first 14 days of contract. It was a usb brick in my case and there was no fix for ir then. There is now though..
okay so im getting almost all the way on step 1!
except at the end of every push of files it says
FAILED (remote: 51 partition update fail)
anyone know any fix? also how do i know which bootloader i have 0,75 or 0,8 and which rom i have previously??
before everything i know i had android 2.1 .. is that my rom too? like 1.21?

To check your bootloader, switch the phone on by pressing the volume down button while pressing power. The second line of text will say HBOOT the number after that is your bootloader.
As for that error... No idea. Sorry!
dang... anyone got any ideas bout the error 51? and how to fix it?
try rooting with goldcard method
Also stuck with RUU USB
Did you get a resolution for this? I'm experiencing a bad time with RUU USB too. My phone started out as an unbranded Magic 32A from HK and seems to be a European now, as it only likes installing the European RUUs (and even then only goes as far as 36%)!
EDIT:
I've since had it repaired by HTC themselves. Their engineers couldn't fix it (allegedly) so they replaced the mobo.
Cost me HK$1500! F***!
Hey Guys,
As of this morning my HTC Desire has been unable to load up to the SIM Pin screen. It is stuck on the "Telstra Next G" Logo Screen (Australian Phone Provider).
It has been playing up with over heating in the past 3 months although this morning after retrieving it from under my pillow it was extremely hot with the Logo Screen Hanging.
I rooted the HTC Desire with Unrevoked. I don't know anything about un-rooting and have searched for this similar problem with no solutions.
I CAN access the HBOOT screen. Details below:

When I try to go into the recovery option on the screen it just starts up my phone as it normally would, giving me the Logo Screen Hang once again.
Have I bricked my phone? Is this hardware related as the CPU has/continues to overheat?
Main question is, can I fix it if none of the above are applicable.
Help is greatly appreciated as this will save me a lot of money in the long run.
Have a great week,
Hiyoal
same problem, and..
I had the same problem yesterday, and now I can't even switch it on, it doesn't charge either..
I've also rooted my phone, if I go to the customer service there is any chance they can find out that I rooted my phone?
thanks for your answers!

if u have an official carrier rom you should be good. but if you have a hacked rom they will notice.d if u have a stock rom thats unbranded they will know. basically every rom except the rom that came with your phone you will get cought. if you can get into hboot, you can goto fastboot and use your proviers ruu to flash yopur stopck rom then send it in for repair and you should be good. to use the ruu, download it from shippedroms then turn your phone on by [power+back button] it will load into fastboot then start up the ruu on your pc. it should load your basic no root phone back to its original state. then send it in
Hello XDAer's...
I am a long long time reader, first time poster. I am of the mind that if I have a problem there has got to be someone on a forum that has had it too, and I work it out myself by reading the 100's of other solutions. It has served me well... until today. I've rooted a few phones in the past, including a DHD, but this time I've managed to get myself in a bit of a bind.
I ran the latest AceHack kit on a branded Vodaphone Australia Desire HD. I read the effen' manual but I'm sure I missed something. The process SEEMED to end on it's own accord ('press any key to exit'), though when the phone rebooted it loads the HTC logo... then fades to black. From what I've pieced together it has something to do with the screen type being SLCD and I'm running a version of recovery that doesn't support it? Just a guess.

Good news (as far as I can tell):
* I can use the SDK tools to run Fastboot
* I made a Goldcard (probably useless anyhow)
Bad news (apart from the obvious):
* I can't run ADB
I'm medium-n00b: I can work my way around most things, but this has me beaten after 6hrs of playing. From what I can tell most of my options require me to have S-Off, but I don't... and it's becoming apparent that I can't do this via Fastboot.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, and I will do my best to repay the favour forward.

welcome in the club!
Hello chr0nic2k11
Well, I think, we are in a comparable situation. Exept you seems to have a goldcard - i think, i wrecked mine with formating it. :-(

It's kind of frustrating, because I'm sure, for a xda-pro, it is a thing of minutes, to get our DHD's back to life. I already tried for hours and don't even know, if there is a chance for rescue at all.
Good luck to us!

If you can somehow get your phone into fastboot, (don't know if u can still load up hboot), you can flash a stock ROM (thru USB cable). This worked for me to unroot my phone and put back to stock. It should work if you can get the right ROM, google stock roms and nav the site to your model (DHD is code named ace)
Hope this helped and good luck

hey, dont know if it will help, but i got stuck in a boot loop last night and i pulled the battery.
i couldnt get back into recovery by holding power and volume up or down, but when i restarted the phone by holding power button and volume up and down at the same time. this got me into bootloader, from there i was able to get to recovery and reload a nandroid backup...
If you flashed a good ROM and your stuck in hboot, use fastboot and use the following command 'fastboot oem boot' that should force your phone to boot.
First a am a new member but have used the site for a while, very helpful.
Second I have looked around for a while and cannot find a specific thread for my issue yet that doesn't deal with an already rooted/unlocked phone.

NEVER rooted and not looking to at this point unless required to fix problem.
A friend of mine brought me an evo he recieved that was stuck in a boot loop, every once in a while you could load sense but only for a few seconds (and not long enough to do much of anything) then boot loop again. The Phone worked fine and was off for about a year, then charged overnight and thats when the bootloop started. I am not sure if there was an OTA update but I would Assume so.
I can load the bootloader menu (fastboot, recovery, hboot, etc).
Tried factory reset, no change
Tried removing sd card and rebooting, no change
Ran (mac running windows 7) RUU_SuperSonic_GB_Sprint_WWE_4.54.651.1_Radio_2.15.00.0808_NV_2.15_release_220182_signed. I know the radio does not mach (not sure if it matters) but i am not too familiar with RUUs and had some trouble locating one. it could not connect with the phone(assuming thats because i can not fully boot) with or without htc sync installed.
questions:
Should i try to unlock bootloader from htc dev? not sure if it would work anyway from just the bootloader menu
I have android sdk and adb installed on my osx lion partition, not too familiar with it yet but i am not completely illiterate with it. can i use this to push a pcm file to it?
Anything else i can try?
Any help/links/other posts that anyone can give would be greatly appreciated.
- sorry mistake in title - I have NOT got access to recovery, only hboot and fastboot
My situation (why I need help)
I am on holiday so I have only limited access to the intenet (wifi but slow and often failing to download files bigger than 5Mb).
I really need my phone as it is my only camera as well as needing to talk to my insurance etc...
I decided to install Ubuntu for this trip (first time I have used it) and didn't intall the full suite of Developer tools for android.
I need a new phone soon (the desire is my backup as my sensation was stolen on this trip) but cannot easily buy one here.
My Problem
I was using the phone as 3G router when it overheated and reset, this has happened before without permanent damage, this time however the phone would not get past the HTC white screen.
It can get to the hboot and fastboot menus but NOT into recovery.
I bought the phone rooted (in China) but it is s-on.
The OTW updates did not work even when the phone was working fine.
My progress
I may be able to create a goldcard, if I can download the images etc.. but it will take me days to get that working I think. I can get the information I need from fastboot. I assume I need an image which I am struggling to download.
I have tried to flash several recoveries in fastboot but with s-on none have worked, I have tried to find a signed recovery (which I think may be possable to flash over fastboot) but with no luck.
I have managed to get the RUU.exe 2.3.3 from the HTC developer site but I have only Ubuntu and the internet cafes wont let me install HTC sync for the drivers. I have not got a windows I can install in virtualbox and wine doesn't work.
I have searched for a PB99... that I can use, with some possibilities but its really getting annoying with downloads failing constantly.
My analysis
My phone is probably ***ed, but its getting to hboot and fastboot so something in there must work, hopefully its a corruption that can be overwriden.
If its not ****ed I just need to flash something, anything, anything at all that will run.
Fastboot seems useless due to s-on.
I can but a file on my SD but getting the right file is really dificult here.
I have the RUU.exe and it is possible to strip the image, but that would then not be signed I believe so I would need a goldcard.
My questions
Do you think there is hope for my phone or should I throw it in the lake?
Is it possible to flash genuine HTC stuff via fastboot.
Is my best chance the RUU and somehow finding a windows computer I can put the drivers on?
Does anyone know of a approprate PB99... for my phone on a link that has not expired that might fix it?
Is my best chance extracting the image from the RUU and making a goldcard even though that's a massive pain.
I have been working on this for days (yes thats how slow both I and the connection here are) and I would usually try all these before posting as I know a lot has been written about this already, but I am going mad with all the additional difficulties my location is causing and this is supposed to be a holiday. Any expert (or slightly more knowledgable) advice would be appreciated.
Also does anyone know if it is possible to get the HTC drivers separate from Sync as that will be easier to download and convince people to let me put on their computers.
