[Q] is my phone brick - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi and thanks for the help in advances.
well the problem is i have intalled on my phone cynogen 7.0.3 and my phone start to acting wierd so and just try to change the rom and i format the phone but when i try to intall any rom and i try to use it and I get a error, it said system no repond and doesnt work and i stil have clockmod working but my phone have s-on so i dont understand can somebody help me please thanks

Come on no one,,,please

What do you mean "format the phone"?
If you are S-On, you can't install any custom ROMs, only the "official" ROM for your carrier/version.
You can try to get S-Off again, or you can try to flash the official ROM.

I try to install the stock rom and its said system stop working,, I don't understand because I have clockmod working like its root cause that's the way the I have it before but it said s-on now...and I don't think there is a way to take s-on by clockmod,,,,at least I need the stock.....I think

And thanks for respond

So you installed CM, then tried installing the stock ROM? And is that when you noticed S-On?
Flashing a stock ROM removes root. It isn't supposed to make S-On. But it appears that might be the case.

No with cm the start acting crazy so I try to put another rom on the phone and I can install any rom but doesn't work...I try to go back to cm and when I notice I have s-on
U think there is a way to install any rom on my phone or root the phone from clockmod

Its very hard to understand what you did. Please list out (as best you can recall), step by step the name of each ROM you tried to flash, and where you noticed S-On.

ok let me explain
first i have cm 7.0.3 and star working weird so i try to put a new rom cm nightly and dont work its said system fc
and then a restard the phone and use volume down and power botton to get to bootload option thas when i notice i have s-on i try to put this PC10IMG and it said is older and fail then i try stock rom
PC10IMG_Vision_TMOUS_1.19.531.1_Radio_12.21.60.09b_26.02.01.15_M2_release_149459_signed
and i got the system error againg its doesnt load nothing,,,,i get the screen when u use the phone for the first time, but when the phone try to go into home i get syste error and doesnt do anything,, i try a couple different rom and the all do the same
i hope u understand

I don't understand how you are flashing custom ROMs, if you are S-On.
Do you have a nandroid you can restore?
Are you doing a full wipe (dalvik, cache, and data) when flashing a new ROM? You might even go into recovery now, wipe each of those, reboot and see if that helps.

cause i was off before, this is what i have on the
VISION PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.82.000
MICROP-0425
RADIO-26.02.01.15_M2
eMMC-BOOT
SO EVE THE STOCK ROM WONT WORK, SO U THINHK I CAN ROOT BY CLOCKMOD, CAUSE WHEN I TRY TO DO A FACTORY RESET, THE PHONE SEND ME DIRECTLY TO CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY V.3.0.2.4,
I ALREADY DID THE WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET EVERY TIME I TRY TO INSTALL A NEW ROM, WIPE CACHE TOO AND DALVIVK CACHE

i did thar already every room system is not responding i try so many diferent rom,,,and i have S-Off before i dont now how is back on, i even try stock rom is the samething do u knoe any threat for root from clockmod,,i have ver 3.0

You had better try rerooting your phone.

I can't get the any rom working..there is a way to do it by clockmod

Get a new phone.

Recovery with HBOOT 0.93, Custom Rom Doesn't boot

Dear xda members,
I'm currently stuck on a problem with my Desire.
I had to Unroot my Desire because it needed to be repaired. Now that's done and I want to get it rooted again the only problem is, I now have HBOOT 0.93.
I've tried to unroot it with UnRevoked and installed ClockWorkMod as custom recovery. and I'm not trying to get it back to HBOOT 0.80 with a PB99IMG file but that doesn't work.
I installed a Custom rom through the ClockWorkMod Recovery, Custom Rom Ginger Villain but it doesn't boot.
I don't know what to do anymore? How can I get it back to HBOOT 0.80 or install a custom rom that does boot without problems?
Hope someone has the answer, I'll keep trying in the meantime!
This has nothing to do with your hboot version... Don't know why you would think so..
On gsm desire all current hboot versions are rootable, and i take it you have got it rooted without trouble on hboot 0.93 so there is no problem.
If the phone doesn't boot a fresh install of a custom rom even after a full wipe something is wrong, but do you get an error in recovery when flashing?
Also what was repaired? If your mainboard was replaced there is a good chance you have got the new hw revision which means you will need an alternate recovery.
I thought maybe the custom rom wasn't made for the HBOOT version or wasn't supported, thought they were related.
and I think I got it rooted because there wasn't any error with Unrevokedand I got a recovery.
I didn't get any errors installing the custom rom.
My IMEI didn't change so I don't think the Mainboard is replaced?
There was a problem with the speaker.
But should I just install another rom and try if that one works?
UPDATE:
After trying 4 RUU's I've finally got one that works. so now I'm back to Stock Froyo with Sense.
Guess I have to try it again now.
I'm trying to install Ginger Villain Again but again I only get a bootloop the whole time. I don't get any errors at all in the process only bootloops...
And I now have the exact same bootloop with Oxygen rom
I now got it back to HBOOT 0.83 but still with every Rom I get bootloops. Is there anything I missed? I got it rooted, got a recovery installed and wiped everything before installing.

Did u format SD Card and partitioned it as corresponding in the ROM Thread instructions?
For example if you flashing d2ext or app2sd ROM you need a FAT32 + EXT3/4 primary partitions (FAT32 always first!).
Lol had the same problem.
You did not clear all the cache and stuff. I cant remember all the ones.
think it is
cache
wipe phone data
davlik
not sure if there is another one
basically this is your problem. I wasted so much time figuring this out because i was too lazy to wipe them
all your roms will boot until you wipe your phone properly

Status 7, installation aborted

Hello, I have successfully rooted my HTC Desire running android 2.2 with HBOOT V 0.93.0001 using the Unrevoked method. I Installed ROM Manager and installed ClockWorkMod V 2.5.0.7. I also made a backup.
The purpose was to install a custom ROM, in order to get rid of the Orange bloatware that is on the phone, as well as trying something new.
However whenever I try to instal any ROMS I get an error (Status 7 - installation aborted.)
I then updated the Radio to radio 5.10.05.30 and tried again, same error.
I've tried Cyanogenmod 7, as well as the Oxygen ROM and both aren't working.
I have spent most of today trying to get it to work, and googled alot however I just can't fix this error
Thanks.
you have to do a full wipe data and cache then go to advanced and erase dalvik cache. After all the above you can now install new rom. And if your trying to install new gingerbread you must s off your phone and then update the recovery to the latest one. which i believe is 3.2.0.2 i dunno something like that
When I do a factory reset it just says E: Can't find MISC
No app2sd partition found.
E:cant mount cache:recovery/log
etc etc
says the same thing with wiping the cache, although it does say "cache wipe complete"
when I select wipe Dalvik cache the screen just flickers and appears to do nothing...
What do you mean about updating the recovery, you mean the HBOOT?
Why can nobody answer this? I've literally been reading stuff ALL DAY just to fix this error, yet still can't solve the problem.
Didn't think installing a ROM could be so hard....
I get it you need to back everything up onto your pc from your sd card then go to market on your phone download rom manager and partition your sd with 512mb ext and 0mb swap. and then install any rom u like
Thanks for your help but that didn't work. Not sure what to do.
Which hardwarerevision does your desire have (boot into hboot and read the first line, number behind the word pvt)?
"bravo pvt4 shop s-on"
Just did a hard factory reset, installed ROM Manager and tried again, still didn't work
Also just tried to get my backup restored in the meantime (so I have contacts) oh no, "This does not seem to be a valid backup. The MD5 file is missing"
Can anything else possibly go wrong?
So your hardwarerevision is pvt4. You cannot use clockworkmod recovery and still less rom manager with this one. Download amonra recovery, integrate it in unrevoked (file>custom recovery>choose downloaded amonra recovery) and run unrevoked (like last time) again.
No warranty for any damage.
And a real good advice: Never use rom manager, it's a horrible software which mostly causes heavy and horrible problems!!! Run all operations directly in recovery instead.
Trying that now

Are there known issues with revision pvt 4 and ROM manager/ClockWorkMod?
Did just what you said and it's working perfect, I performed a Nandroid backup so I can always go back to the stock ROM, I also unchecked unrevoked forever so the warrenty should be okay IF I go back?
Thanks so much!!!!

Yes, there are known issues, especially the one you had, which is imho the most important and worst one, because you cannot flash anything.
This disclaimer was referred to me. But yeah, warranty of your provider should be okay if going back to stock.
No problem, happy I could help. Congratulations to you.

Why do my rom's not install properly? Stuck on HTC screen

I tried installing the Sense Bliss and CM7 ROMs and the Bliss just boots back into the CWM after a failed boot and when I try to install CM7, it just hangs at the HTC screen. I did everything perfect. S-off, rooted and wiped the data, the cache and the dalvchk thing in that order. What am I doing wrong?
Also, when I try to go into bootloader, it doesn't let me scroll up or down and immediately tries to install the hboot IMG10 or whatever and trying to make it turn into S-ON again. I don't know how to stop it either.
I think that you have to install the desire z h boot to flash sense roms and for cm7 check the md5 sums of every file maybe that the problem
Stewie just said that!

The PCIMG10 issue is that you you have that file on the root of you SDcard and the bootloader is designed to check for that. Your other issue is either the DesireZ Hboot mentioned earlier or you're running ClockworkMod Recovery v5, which is buggy as hell; if you have CWM v5 installed, downgrade to v3.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
First off, delete the PC10IMG.zip off of the sdcard to stop hboot wanting to reflash it.
Then you should probably check your phone partitions or something, maybe try reformat them in recovery, or flash a superwipe zip.

Alright I'll give these a try and report here afterwards. Thanks!

It works! Thank you all!

use rom manager from the market. make sure to delete dalvk cash
Clear Dalvk Cache, it makes a big difference
ok
1. so first i put the rom file on my sd card
2. then i go into recovery
3. clear dalvk cache,clear battery stats,clear cache partition
4. go to install zip from sd card,chose my rom and install it
5. restart my phone
i think thats what were supposed to do.
But my phone just keeps restarting,and nothing comes on!!

you need to perform a full wipe before flashing a new rom
it's the "wipe data/factory reset" option within recovery. this will format the phone properly. if you don't do this bits of system and data partitions get mixed up hence it won't boot. dalvik cache and cache are just caches...wiping them rarely solves anything.
also check that your SD card meets the ROM requirements, for instance it may require that you have an ext partition, use gparted or recovery for this, but backup your sd card to PC first

Hello,
I have a S-ON phone unlocked with htcdev.
I tried two ROMS from m1ndh4x8r, with or without overclock, but it always failed like you. White screen with HTC logo and nothing starts. I am 100% sure I did everything right...
Then I tried another ROM, HenseMod5, and it worked perfectly at the first try ! I don't know what's wrong with my device (if anything). Now HenseMod6 is out, I am installing right now.
So, try this ROM (I took the stock one):

thanks alot bro.......HenseMod worked for me too!!!!!!!
although im not sure why the others dont work for me..........maybe because of some of the feature the have and HenseMod doesnt.......
Glad to know it helped you
I don't know either why the others don't work, but I haven't really tried to figure it out. HenseMod is fine and works great for me, so I don't need another one.
By the way, I upgraded from HenseMod5 to 6 and everything's fine.

I am Desperate with this HTC Desire

Hello guys !
First of all i want to say that I've tried EVERYTHING around to resolve the issue, but it seems that nothing is working. So long story short :
My friend bought used HTC Desire since i own DHD and he liked it alot but didnt have the money to buy DHD ,so the day he got it he tried to root it , He said that it was sucessfully and he instaleld some custom rom and went to bed,when he woke up in the morning his Desire Display was flashing with the boot animation(the ROM one) over and over again.He treid to install other ROM and the effect was the same,stuck at animation repeating over and over again.So He called me,i got to his house and tried to solve the issue but i didnt have luck there ,so i got the phone with me at my home. I started digging where the problem was...i was sure it was the rom ,tried to install 5-6 oter roms - no luck . Tried to flash with RUU- no luck ,kept getting " The main version is older" error . So i kept digging and tried to install the RUU throught H-boot by making PB99IMG.zip file,got the same error.Tried to use the update.zip solution - still no luck.Tried to change the recovery from clockwork to any other recovery ,but didnt have luck since i cant access the android and i am getting errors if i try to archive the file to update.zip.
So i need some help if its possible,sorry for my english and if the info that i provided is not that good ask me whatever u like.
also in The H-boot menu it says :
BRAVO PVt4 Ship S-ON
H-Boot-0.93.0001
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL - SYNT0101
RADIO-5.11.05.14
from what i got by reading is that i cant s-off cuz of the bravo pvt4 ..
Did you wipe data after flashing?

Full wipe + wipe from the advanced menu !
Lol, read thru the OP and same thing going over and over in my head "Did you wipe? Did you wipe? Did you wipe?"
When you start out with "I've tried EVERYTHING", make sure you actually did try everything, because it's pretty obvious you didn't.
Did it also display flash bootanimation over and over again after Ruu?

You have to wipe BEFORE flashing, not after.
Some Roms store important parts on /data, which will be erased during the wipe.

This is true lol. If you install then wipe you prob won't be able to get further than the boot screen.

Take it your mate didn't take a nandroid back-up before trying to flash, so he could restore it in case any issues occurred? Have you done full wipe then tried flash ROM from recovery then? Does the ROM need an ext partition - will boot loop if one doesn't exist.
Depending on the HBOOT version, using alpharev or revolutionary will S-OFF PVT4s - but this isn't the solution to your current problem unless you're trying roms that need non-stock hboots, in which case try something that doesn't first. S-OFF via AlphaRev also best done with rooted stock ROM, some custom sense ROMs also seem to work (don't know about revolutionary as i took alpharev route) - but get custom ROM running first before thinking about doing anything else.

Just saw your post. Too bad it's too late. Anyways the situation was kinda funny: So the HTC kept booting untill the "rom logo" (You know the logo after the HTC one), tried to install other ROM's (Full wipe before ofcourse) and it didn't work ofcourse, so I kept digging and i saw some threats where people were saying that clockwordrecovery wasn't working with my version h-boot, ah and trying installing RUU didnt work too(also trying to install PB99IMG.zip from sdcard didnt work too) ,was always getting "The main version is older" error! So we flashed AlphaRev, and finally the phone was S-Offed, after this i got my DHD's sd card since it was a gold card and i put it into the Desire , i had a PB99IMG.zip file from the previous day on it! So i started the bootloader, it detected the PB99IMG.zip file and I didn't get the "Main Verison is older" error, it asked if the file should be updated and i pressed "yes" and the phone gone off...guess what it was compleatly bricked,only vibrating and the screen didn't work....we were like OMG WTF ...so we installed SDK tools and started looking for adb commands/guides ...after 4 hours we were on about to quit and suicide ourselves cuz we didnt get anything and it was getting late...i was like " duh,lets blind try the PB99IMG.zip method again and rest till tomorrow" ,i downloaded the newest PB99IMG.zip from shipped-roms.com ,got it on my sd card and got the sd card back in the desire . Pressed Power + vol down,waited 2 mins and pressed vol up again,waited like 10 more mins,nothing happaned...we got all emo and mad ,2 more friends of us came to my mate's flat ( they are not into phones or anything ,complete noobs),one of them got the phone took of the baterry and the sdcard ,put the baterry back,pressed Power ON button and the phone ****ing started ....we all were like WOOOOOOOOT OMG OMG ,it was like magic xD ...so its fixed now and it has the stock rom and its unrooted...
