[Fixed] something gone wrong, need help

Hey guys i really need some help here, my phone won't boot up and it won't recognise my sd card. I've only got fastboot and recovery.
I'll explain as best as i can how it got this way;
Firstly i tried to s-off my desire so that i could upgrade to amon recovery 2.0, but it got stuck on 3rd step waiting for flash to complete after sorting that out by flashing a new rom, i proceeded to flash the recovery and that went fine. then i created a nand backup and decided to test the s-off by flashing a custom splash which also went fine but then i rebooted and downloaded leedroid2.2f and transfered it on to my sd card but when i rebooted the phone when into a small bootloop before booting into the phone but it was failing to recognise the sd card so i tested the sd card in my hero and it was working fine. the phone wasn't being recognised by the laptop as it ws asking for certian drivers so i rebooted into recovery and did a full wipe (like an idiot) and now it gets stuck in the boot animation with no logcat output and as it can pick up the sd card i can't flash a rom.
I hope some one can help me get my desire back to stock at least so i can send it off to htc if there is any hardware problem
Can i also add that my desire was orange branded had a slcd screen its original hboot was 0.83 and i don't have a goldcard for it either
Edit: I solved it and my phone is back thanks to guide by shockem on another thread, i'd also like to apologise to any mods for opening a new thread (kinda panicked) i'll look around properly before i open a new thread

hey guys now that my phone is back to stock has it got warranty back? seeing as it's an orange branded phone but it has a stock unbranded rom also its sim unlocked

If Orange takes care of your warranty, I suppose you must flash an Orange branded RUU before submitting it.

Yeah but theres no orange ruu and i can't use my usb port. I only have a goldcard which i made last night so if anyone can create a pb99img.zip for a stock orange rom i'll be grateful or if anyone can tell me another way of flashing a stock orange ruu.

That ZIP can only be extracted from an RUU, it's not something you can 'make up'
I'd go back to HTC direct and see what they say

Yeah i realised that, seeing as i got my phone running now i've done some searching and i believe my usb is bricked, theres a guide on modaco to fix it but it requires for me to be rooted, the problem is my phone is slcd and originally had boot loader version 0.83 and the bootloader atm is 0.93. Is there a way for me to root the desire to attempt this fix?

its definitely a usb brick as i've enabled sd card functionality. I jus need a way to root the device now any one help me out?

You can't, unless VISIONary is working on the Desire
If you wanna try a newer ROM and see if that fixes things get the newest PB99IMG off of shipped-ROMs.com - it's the version of 2.29.405.2 and you'll need your gold card to flash it

Just tried with VISIONary it goes through the motions and su app is there but doesn't seem to have given root as any app requiring root doesn't work. I'll have to pop into local orange shop and see what they say if that doesn't work can you tell me how i would get it back to HTC

You'd send it back to HTC as per the warranty card details I imagine, never had to send anything back to them before

SOLVED
Manage to get it done using this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9056719&postcount=15
make sure usb debugging is ticked and also copy the files to /data/data/jackpal.androidterm/ only, there is no such directory as shared_prefs

Only way to get stock orange ruu on it is go to an orange store and ask them to reflash the phone.

Thats true but i don't think flashing the RUU would have fixed the usb brick but its all good now i have learned alot over the past 24hours and hopefully i won't come across this situation again but just incase it does happen again, atleast i'll know what to do. But thanks for your input i really appreciate it

[Q] Extreme newb in need of help :S!

Hi all,
I was hoping someone could help me out? I've just got myself a HTC Desire which I was lead to believe would be unbranded. Unfortunately I dealt with a liar and I've just discovered it's got a load of virgin crap on the boot up screen and what not. How do I remove it and is there a way to get rid of this without rooting my phone? I really don't want to root and mess with a custom rom or anything been as I know absolutely nothing about this kind of thing :S! I'd really appreciate any help you guys could give me!

You first need to create a gold card. Google it and you'll find plenty of guides on how to do this.
Secondly, you need the RUU for the unbranded Desire ROM, which you can find here:
http://www.multiupload.com/UOWLL86GVB
To install the ROM, have the gold card in your phone and make sure HTC Sync is installed on your PC. Connect your Desire to the PC and select 'HTC Sync' from the menu on the phone. Once Sync on the PC shows connected just run the RUU. If the gold card is working correctly it will install and voila - one unbranded Desire!!!
* Best to make your every day SD card into the gold card as you WILL need it for all future updates

Thanks for the speedy reply! I just have a few more questions (sorry ^^;!)
Would that get rid of every non-htc thing on my phone including start up rubbish? I also have one about gold cards, if I change my sd card will my phone not work if it's been unbranded on another? I'm unsure whether to give this a go on a tiny one or go for a bigger one that I'll probably use full time. I'm sorry for the silly questions :S!

If you have a working gold card then just use that, it will then be on the stock HTC ROM. If you're now using a larger SD card just make that into a gold card and leave it the phone

Oops, sorry if I confused you, I don't have one. I was just wondering if it mattered if I swapped the gold card-ed sd card for another.
On a side note, if I didn't use a gold card to debrand the phone, will the splash screen start up branding disappear if I change it to a custom one?

You can't debrand unless you use a gold card. After you have unbranded you can use your other SD card. But if there are any ota updates you will need the goldcard to update the phone.

You CANNOT debrand without a gold card if you're just going for a stock ROM
You could, however, root the phone and use a custom ROM but that won't change the boot screen when you first turn it on - just the animated one. You'd need S-OFF to change the first one.
Easiest thing is to just make a gold card now and debrand using a stock WWE RUU

Which is why you just make your usual SD card into a gold card and leave it in the phone

Hmm. Okay, let me get this right, debranding would get rid of any virgin app stuff on the phone but wouldn't get rid of the virgin start up image and using S-off *would* replace the virgin animation with a static custom image?

no what there saying is, if you want to debrand using a ruu, (that will remove everything vigin including the splash screen) you need a goldcard, but if you dont have a gold card, you can root using unrevoked and flash a custom rom, that will remove everything virgin except the splash screen, you can then s-off and manually flash a new splash

Oh wow, this is confusing :S I've now discovered a virgin media scene option as well as a random link to the virgin internet that doesn't show up in my apps along with the flashscreen.
Oh right So using a gold card will leave the htc/android innards alone but get rid of everything virgin? And will I need to do anything special if I upgrade my sd card to a larger one in the future (don't quite have the money for a big one at the moment ^^?

A gold card doesnt get rid of the Virgin branding ... A gold card only allows you to run an unbranded RUU for a branded phone ... which then gets rid of the branding (Virgin stuff)
Oh and if you purchase a larger sd card later you can turn that one into gold card too if you need to ...

Here's a few things about the RUU...
1. It's a COMPLETE ROM, flashing it will wipe the existing one in its entirety and replace it with the new one.
2. You will LOSE all data on the phone when flashing an RUU
3. You need a gold card to flash an RUU not suitable for your handset, e.g. if your phone is x.xx.405.x you can only use RUUs which are also x.xx.405.x - unless you use a gold card

[Q] reinstalling stock ROM on hboot 0.93.0001

My Desire recently had to be sent back to HTC for repair. Came back with hboot 0.93.001. When I got it back, I rooted it (using Unrevoked) and flashed LeeDroid 2.3b.
However, the phone has developed the common locking/rebooting fault and I need to send it back to HTC again, but before I can send it back I need to reflash the stock ROM (T-Mobile UK).
However, whichever method I try I can't get the stock ROM back on to the phone. If I try reflashing using HTC sync, then I get ERROR #140 or #170 (assuming the phone doesn't freeze during the process).
If I try extracting the ROM.zip and renaming it to PB99IMG and installing from the root of the micro SD then I get a message saying "CID incorrect! Update Fail!"
Does anyone have any ideas how I can get my piece of crap HTC Desire back to stock ROM?
P.S. if you haven't already guessed from the last statement or read any of my other posts about my Desire going wrong, I will NEVER EVER buy another HTC....their customer service stinks worse than a landfill site!!

The CID error indicates that you need a Gold Card, you could use the Gold Card tool in my sig below to create one quickly.

OK, I've created the goldcard. Now, how do I get the rom image onto the card? When the phone boots with the gold card in, I can't select mass storage. I've also tried the card in a card reader...it wasn't recognised.
Help???

Are you able to mount your SD card in recovery?
Try the following, I am assuming that you are running Windows 7: Try to re-format the card as FAT32 (if present, right-click on the removable disk and select Format).
1) Check if the device is getting detected in device manager. Follow the steps to go to device manager:
- Click Start, type devmgmt.msc and press enter.
- Search for the name of the device
If the device is not getting detected in device manager, then check if it is hidden device.
- Click show hidden devices under View
- Expand all the nods under device manager
There would be many grayed out entries in device manager uninstall all the grayed out entries under all the nods and then restart the computer and plug the external device to the computer and check if it works
2) Install the latest drivers from the manufacturer website and even make sure the driver is compatible with the version of operating system installed on your computer. check if it works

Install the driver in Compatibility mode: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows
3) Check with any other another SD card if it is getting recognized or detected or you may even check if the same SD card is getting recognized or detected on other computer

I have the same prob

still having problems...

OK, I managed to create another goldcard with the goldcard tool in your signature. I then extracted the rom from the T-Mobile (UK) stock ROM and renamed it to PB99IMG.ZIP and dropped it onto the goldcard.
Rebooted with the goldcard in the phone and vol - pressed, got the boot menu. The rom image was detected and started to load (side bar in top right of screen showing progress). ROM loaded 100%, then got the 'checking ROM' message. Then..."CID incorrect! Update Fail!" message again.
I've checked and double checked the goldcard creation process and am convinced I'm doing nothing wrong.
Any other ideas? I'm beginning to think hboot 0.93.0001 can't be downgraded.
P.S. I'm running Vista 32-bit

No, flashing an old RUU over a new HBOOT won't work. The issue you've got is there isn't a 2.2 T-Mobile UK RUU available so unless you've got an AMOLED screen the only thing you can do is flash the stock HTC RUU

it is an AMOLED screen

Cheers Eddy. However, as far as I can tell, it is an AMOLED screen. All I want to do is get it back to T-Mobile stock ROM so I can send it back to HTC again.
Can't understand why there isn't a 2.2 T-Mobile UK RUU available yet.
It's damned infuriating!! Stuck with a phone I can't use at the minute...and getting desparate!

I know t mobile would know that the rom has changed from there own one to the htc one, but are the any differences apart from that if the htc rom was installed?
I mean would it run normally and recieve the normal updates ota, and would that affect if the htc was simlocked or anything?
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk

It'd run normally but would get HTC OTA updates not T-Mobile ones. Seems the latest OTA doesn't work on debranded phones, though

@Eddy,
Since he has AMOLED, there's a multistep procedure he can try.
1. Prepare the goldcard correctly with a Format in Fat32 (and deleting any extra partitions. Only 1 partition should exist-It should be a Fat32 Primary). If Goldcard is correct, phone should not give CID incorrect error.
2. Download the WWE 2.29 PB99IMG.zip, and put it in the goldcard and run it.
3. Run Teppic74's downgrader with goldcard. At the last step, choose to use this PB99img (Run this RUU while monitoring your Temp folder for changes. When the RUU loads and displays a window, search temp for Rom.zip. Rename it to PB99IMG.zip and put it in the root of the sdcard) instead of the Teppic one.
4. At this point the phone will have a completely working 2.1 Android OS branded to TMO.
5. Check for and update with OTA (You will get TMO OTAs at this point). Now your phone will have the latest TMO ssoftware and be as good as any other!

But they'd have to extract the PB99IMG file out of the RUU, the RUU on it's own won't do

Yes indeed, but quite doable. The result would be a perfectly unrooted T-Mobile branded phone.
Edit: Added instructions for extracting the PB99IMG.zip from the TMO RUU

thanks for all the advice.....
...but I've given up on my Desire.
I can't use it for more than 2 minutes at most without it freezing up!! This is nowhere near long enough to do any of the above! I've even tried resting it on a bag of ice to keep it cool, but even that was no good!
I'm just gonna sell it to one of the recycle companies and put the money towards buying myself out of my contract.
Shame really because when it was working, it was a brilliant phone!!
HTC seriously need to get their house in order QC-wise. I know they have been making phones for a good few years now, but people still say "HTC, who??" and while they're QC remains as bad as it seemingly appears to be then that situation will persist!!
Think I'm gonna take a risk on the LG Optimus 2X when it comes out!! Why? because I love Android...I love bleeding edge...only now I hate HTC with a passion!!!

Same here. If anyone can get my T-Mobile (UK) Desire (rooted, hboot 0.93.0001) back to stock ROM then I'd be willing to pay (within reason). Bearing in mind you'd first have to solve the problem of it not being usable for any more then 2 minutes even from 'cold'.

No software problem should fail to be repaired by running a ruu. If if freezes or loops while running ruu, that confirms a hardware fault which necessitates a return if the device.
No I'm not in UK. I know that what I described may seem overwhelming, but believe me, if you run the procedure I mentioned, step-by-step and with the files I linked, there is no reason why you can't have your phone up and running in under 45 mins. See the unrooting guide I've written, linked in my signature, for the step-by-step method of running the pb99img from an ruu. It's easy enough. Only things you need for a smooth sailing is a working goldcard and the file extracted from the ruu correctly.
Note that I can't confirm that this method will work for Slcd , and it is quite dangerous running a 1.20 ruu on slcd. Proceed only if you're sure that yours is an amoled desire

[Q] HELP! Unrooted Desire stuck on HTC screen.

Hello,
I Have an Unrooted Desire that won't get past the HTC screen. I have been searching the sire for ages and can'tfind anything that will let me recover the phone. When I go to recovery mode I get a Red triangle with an exclamation mark.
I have tried wiping everything from the bootload screen to no avail. (HBOOT-0.93.0001)
Is there an Update.zip that I can put on an SD card that it will use without complaining about signage that will re-flash the phone?
PLEASE PLEASE HELP.

Is your device S-OFF ?
Red exclamation sign is the default android recovery.
If your device is S-OFF, you can flash ClockworkMod recovery and flash a ROM.
Or you can simply run a RUU to restore your device to its original state.

Hello.
Second. How did you get it here? Did you try to flash a RUU? Explain in more detail please.
You could try the following and see if it works. This should get you to stock ROM.
You should make a gold card (search the forum, you'll sure find it how to, and you don't need your phone to make one), then get the latest RUU and extract the PB99IMG from it (here HOW TO -2nd Post), then put it on the root of your SD Card and then boot into the bootloader (Volume Down + Power) and it will start automatically. You'll get back to stock with no ROOT or S-OFF.
If you need to mound SD Card try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=531310 , maybe it can help you.
To create a goldcard see this: http://www.nazriawang.com/2010/04/ho...th-ubuntu.html

It's a friends phone from work, we have no idea how it got to this state. Every rom re-image tutorial seems to talk about booting the phone up and connecting it to a pc. I cannot do this. The phone will not start. I believe it's S-ON.
I don't mind rooting it, or installing ANY kind of rom out there. I would just like it to work!
The link you provided above to create a goldcard doesn't seem to work.
What's the easiest way to get this thing running?

Isn't there a standard stock rom I can use to put onto the sd card and get it to flash itself?
Whenever I try to use the RUU it complains that the battery is below 30% which it isn't.

Hi.
It isn't possible to put a Custom ROM that will install itself from bootloader. There ain't something like that.
Try to charge your phone one more time untill it is full and leave it one more hour.
Then try again the steps I've described for you. Be sure to get the latest RUU WWE 2.29.405.5.
If anything happens come back and post results.
L.E.: Are you trying to run the RUU from PC or from bootloader? Try to run it from bootloader.

Help required - weird problem...

Hi Guys,
Got a real strange one, have been searching around and cannot find any threads with exactly the same problem as me...so thought I would post...
There is a bit of a back story, so here goes...
A friend of mine wanted to change her ROM on her Desire, it was purchased new in Hong Kong, unbranded. She had had a problem when out of the country (in Taiwan) and had taken it into an electronics store. A lady there "fixed" it up for her. After a few days of use she didn't like the ROM the lady flashed so I said I would flash something else onto it...
Searched around, choose the Runnymead 6.0.7 SE (current at the time) and flashed it. I needed to use unrevoked, which put on ClockWorkMod Recovery too. Great I thought!
So after a bit of use, she didn't like that either (women huh!) so I told her that I could simply put the stock HTC ROM that came with it in the first place. She said great, and here's where it got interesting...
My thought process was that I could just download the stock HTC WWE ROM from shipped-roms.com. Boot into fastboot and run the RUU, but no, I got an ERROR 131 - CID blah blah...funny I thought, cos it was bought unbranded. My assumption is that the lady in the store in Taiwan must have gold carded and flashed a branded ROM.
Anyway, cutting to the chase. I am a little stuck, here, why? The Desire wont boot without the "original" SD Card in it. When I say original, the girl also asked me to change the SD card (she had a 2Gb and gave me a 8Gb). But when I changed the card over the phone wont boot, even after a full wipe via ClockWork. It boot loops at the "android" boot screen (from the runnymead ROM) with the new 8Gb card in it.
To change the CID so I can flash the stock HTC ROM I need to create a gold card, and to do that I need the phone to boot (with a card in it I can wipe).
Kinda stuck in a vicious circle. Right now I am trying to find another custom ROM to flash to see if it has the same "issue" as the runnymead ROM does (i.e. wont boot without that "original" 2Gb SD card in it).
But let me know if anyone has ever seen this, seems weird that the phone wont boot without that 2Gb card in it...I have the card and a spare, but as I understand the gold card process I need to put another card in the (or at least the same one wiped) which means the phone wont boot!
My head is spinning...
Any input is welcome as I am just about stuck!
Cheers!

If you ever get it working I suggest you check Supernova rom.
To get it working, check bortak's troubleshooting guide stickied on the q&a section. Its got all the stuff you need to get you started.

Thanks stankyou!
I have reflashed the runnymead ROM and its booting up now, so will report back.
I do have a general question tho. If some ROM's require the "original" SD card to be in the device to boot, (I am guessing this is due to data required to boot the device being on the sd card, in the ext partition) how can I wipe another card (for gold card use) and swap it out and boot the ROM to change the CID? Bit confused...
Going to check out the supernova ROM now...
Cheers for the reply!

You really need not to worry about CID when flashing roms. You just make sure you make a full wipe via recovery, set the new sd card with ext pertition and flash your rom of choice and follow whatever instruction the rom requires you to do.

Hi stankyou,
I understand, but my goal is actually to get back to a stock ROM.
I keep getting the Error 131 (this was actually an unbranded phone, but somewhere along the line its gotten "branded").
I flashed the ROM you recommended...checking it out now...will it work if I take the SD Card out and replace it with another one?
Thanks!
Whatev's

All fixed up!
For those interested...
Flashed the Supernova ROM. This allowed me to change SD Cards...
Made a gold card and then ran the stock RUU from HTC.
All back to stock now.
Thanks for all the help!

You'll probably go back to Supernova once she complains about the lack of space for apps. Glad you sorted it out.
