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.

Assuming Orange have the RUU it wouldn't have been hard, but they would've needed the SD card working

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
Hi,
I have tried several ROMs on my desire but none of them is working perfectly.
The only rom that somehow makes it possible to work is dj-droid
Leedroid and Chinese rom kept on crashing
The phone keeps crashing if I use it to much. (run a demanding app like waze or o game)
It even crashed when I use the internet for too long.
All of this made me come to a conclusion that there is something wrong with the hardware (feel free to correct me if I’m wrong)
Now I want to get my phone to his stock condition.
I know that I need to download something called a RUU file.
I found this thread, but I can’t figure which ROM should I D\L.
I suppose it should be something marked as WWE and the numbers are the radio version.
From what I can see my radio version is 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 (found in setting-> about phone -> Software information Baseband version) is it really the radio or I’m looking at the wrong place?
Can I use any RUU file is there a specific RUU should I D\L because in the thread I found the highs radio version is 32.30.00. If I need a specific ROM can some please point to the right direction.
Also I’ll be happy is some will explain to me what are the steps to install the RUU file, or is it same thing as installing a custom ROM ?
Please feel free to throw any other suggestions that might help to set my desire to it’s proper condition.
Thank in advance
Mark
P.S
I had froyo 2.2 and my HBOOT is 0.93.001
In order to return to stock, just connect the phone to the pc and run the RUU (it's just an exe file). The latest OFFICIAL European rom is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=828519
That will upgrade HBOOT and Radio, you really need that. In case you'll need to get root access, just download unrevoked (google it), but remember to uninstall HTC Sync in case you have it installed before running it.
After rooting, just reflash the rom of your choice and keep the new radio, just don't change it, it's superb.
Hint: before flashing any rom on top of each other, remember to wipe cache, dalvik cache, and user data, so you won't get any crash.
To restore data I suggest MyBackup Pro, gives less issues than Titanium Backup.
You need a gold card to flash anything other than the one that originally came with the phone. Radio is irrelevent

Radio is responsible of many crashes: an old radio not compatible with the camera app gives FCs.
Why would he need a goldcard if he already rooted?? To go back to stock just enter in the bootloader, select fastboot, connect via usb, start the RUU and you're done.
Thanks,
I'll try the attched RUU and update with the result.
BTW
is the there posibility i'll brik my phone during this procedure ?
Oh and i anderstand that i need a goldcard only if my phone is/was branded.
Ok, I managed to restore the phone but after the installation it entered to a boot loop.
I let the phone rest for 2 or 3 minutes and it started up perfectly.
I suspect that if I'll stress my it's get too hot and crushes.
Any suggestion how can I confirm this theory ?
How did you get it out that boot loop? Resting? Did you take out the battery or smth?
Yes,
I had to to that several time before the phone started to work.

If the OP has a branded phone and wants to flash a stock unbranded RUU you need a gold card. Radio is irrelevent in the flashing of an RUU as you get the correct radio for the ROM included in it
I am just asking because I am trying to flash the Rooted , A2SD+ version of this ROM and after flash it just keeps looping (when the little green android logo appears and the phone vibrates) and does that on and on and on. Maybe I have to wait more.
Which ROM have you come from? IF it wasn't a Sense-based ROM you'll have to do a full wipe before booting

I came from exactly this one (latest OTA). It was rooted and as clockwork recovery did not work , I flashed Amonra. I did a full wipe, I formatted the SD card and then partitioned it, I did everything from scrap. I am almost certain I am missing astep or smth. Phone shows S-ON, maybe amonra doesnt get read of Security...?? I am not very good at this stuff, but any other ROM I flash works, except for the latest OTA (rooted and with A2SD- there is a post here on the forum containing it).
OR you mean a full wipe AFTER flashing, and before the first boot??
Chapter 2 – Return of the Desire
Hi again
First of all I want to thank you all for your assistance I had no problem to activate the warranty.
It seems that the constant reboot issue was a know issue of the A8181 series so my original phone was sent to HTC.
Finely I got the phone back and according to what I've been told it's a new device.
When I tried to use the phone I noticed that the APN settings were not transformed from the SIM card to the phone
(did not had that problem before I shipped the phone).
I tried to ran the RUU I used before and It seemed like I'm also going to gain an upgrade from 2.10.405.2 to 2.29.405.2 .
With a heart full of joy I'm pressing the next button and when the status bar reaches the "updating signature" I get the " Error [131] customer ID" error.
Noting I do seems to help fixing the problem.
I managed to root the phone, I flashed the LeeDroid rom, but i still can't run the RUU.
Any suggestions how do I fix the problem ?
I don't think my phone is branded as I bought an online store and from my provider.
Thanks in advance

ok so i just tried rooting my evo. I used an out dated rooting method not compatible with the version of my phone. I have 3.30, hboot 2.02, and radio 2.15.00.09.01. When i turn the phone on it gets stuck at white htc screen. I can boot into the bootloader. I have tried running the ruu but when i do it doesnt recognize my phone is connected. I have htc drivers installed...i dont know what to, do please help
Does the hboot says s-on or s-off? If your s-off try flashing a rom through recovery or a pc36img ruu through the boot loader.

Well one, if you can get to the bootloader, you most likely aren't bricked, so breathe! What root method did you try to use? How far in the process did you get? How long did you let it stay at the HTC screen? Sometimes it takes a good long while. If I was in your situation, since your computer won't recognize phone, is take your SD card out of the phone. Download a stock ruu zip. Rename it to PC36IMG.zip. put it on your SD card, put SD card back in phone, and boot into the bootloader. It should find the zip, and you select to flash it. Give that a try.
EDIT: Damn,I'm always too late! And yea, as he said, if you are s off, and did successfully flash a recovery image, try flashing a Rom first. Id be surprised if you are s off with recovery if you used an old method with the 2.02 hboot. What happens when you select recovery from bootloader?
Find and download RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.30.651.2_Radio_2.15.00.09.01_NV_1.77_003_release_154209_signed
That's the one that worked on a hardware 004 Evo I used the old method on
Any luck getting your phone back up?
my s is still on..when i go to recovery it shows the evo with the red exclamation mark. I will try putting the ruu zip on my memory card..i need to go get a usb for my hero as it seems i cannot find it and have no other way to put a file on my sd card. any ideas if that doesnt work? i am a little confused as why it will let me issue adb codes in the command prompt but htc sync does not pick up the phone
Yup your still not rooted. Try to get a way to put a file on your usb card so you can load a PC36IMG.zip ruu of your 3.30 rom so you can get back to stock and start your process over with unrevoked.

I have dealt with this issue before. It is difficult to get an ruu to run but I think it is worth it. Find the right ruu for your phone to get you back to stock. Once you have this get your phone in to bootloader and use the fastboot command I believe it is. This will help your computer recognize your phone. Then run the ruu after you have done this, may take a few tries but im positive it works. Good luck.

Do you have a card reader? that would also work. Would probably also be cheaper than a usb cable I would think, not sure though. (unless of course you still use the hero and want a new cable anyways)

Hi everybody,
I have an S-Off HTC Desire running LeeDroid 2.3d. I've also flashed Clockwork Recovery 3.0.0.5 as the default recovery for the phone. I have been using an 8GB microSD until I got a 16GB today. I pulled the 8GB out and inserted the 16GB into the phone. However, once i put the 16GB inside the phone, it would no longer boot. The phone no longer boots up into the ROM, and it doesn't boot into Recovery mode as well; it just remains at the white HTC screen. Basically, I can only get into the Bootloader and Fastboot. Does anyone know what might be wrong and how I could fix this? Thanks a lot in advance!!
EDIT: I have since tried flashing different recoveries through Fastboot, but to no avail.
Come on guys I would REALLY appreciate if anyone could help me out with this =)
It boots up with the old 8 GB card?
If yes, you have to partition the new card for the custom ROM and reflash the ROM or restore a nandroid backup.
Sent from my customized HTC Desire using TTP
No, the phone does not boot up even with the old 8GB card. It's the same issue as with the 16GB card.
Do you guys think it would help at all if I tried to remove S-off from the device? I'm getting pretty desperate for ideas so any help is greatly appreciated.
Would anyone know how to remove S-off? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe I need the PB99IMG.zip file that downgrades the HBOOT from 0.93.1 down to 0.80 (or any other version would probably do). Is this correct? Does anyone have the file they could link me to? Thanks!

No, it does not boot at all. I've tried with an SD, without an SD. Even without a SIM
I would suggest running the RUU for your original rom, or one of the WWE ones. This will put your phone back to stock, no root, no s-off.
All of your data will also be wiped.

I'm sorry but I'm not sure how to do that. Can I do that even though I have no access to Recovery mode? If you could give me some instructions and point me in the direction of the file, that would be great!
You can do this if you can get into fastboot.
What are your original rom details? And was your phone branded/which carrier/which country etc..
The more details the better
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk
Originally, my phone was from Hong Kong. I didn't buy it with a carrier, it was from an electronics store. So basically, it was unbranded and unlocked when I first got it.
Also, I'm really not sure how to do this through Fastboot, or even where to get the files... So yah... Sorry if I'm such an idiot lol
One more thing. I'm not sure if this is relevant but I don't have a goldcard.
OK, short and bundled for you. This is only a guidance list, you'll have to get the details yourself with your google-fu.
- get the android SDK. You'll get adb and fastboot with it.
- install the adb drivers.
- once you got that try "fastboot devices" in your windows command shell.
- it shows your device? OK, you did everything correctly.
- get to flash whatever you like by downloading an img file and flashing it with "fastboot <target location> <img-filename>
Cheers.
Ok another possibly stupid question. I've gone on this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667 and have downloaded one of the GSM WWE files. However, it's a .exe file. What do I do with that? I was under the impression that Fastboot only works with .img files? Also, what is the difference between the GSM WWE and the GSM URL files?
I have tried following some instructions I found off Google. It told me to run the RUU .exe file and extract the rom.zip file from it. I did this, renamed it to PB99IMG.zip, put it onto my SD, and tried to flash it via the Bootloader. However, I am given a message saying the CID is incorrect. I'm guessing this might be because I don't have a GoldCard? All in all, my phone is still not fixed, and I'm really hoping someone could help me out (i.e., give me some instructions as to how to flash the RUU .exe file through Fastboot).
Remove the PB99IMG.zip file from the sd card.
Turn off the phone.
Hold down back and the power button.
You should now be in the fastboot menu.
Plug the phone into your computer with usb. It should now say 'fastboot usb' instead of 'fastboot' on the phone.
Then run the RUU exe file on your computer and follow the instructions on the screen of your computer. It will install the rom automatically.
I had this problem at the weekend and couldn't fix it. Phone went off to HTC who have sent it back after fixing, I don't know what they did though because I missed the delivery of my phone back today

The Downgrade of the Bootloader only works if you are running a device that can actually boot up fully. Download this RRU, put your phone into Fastboot via the Bootloader menu, connect your phone to the computer whilst in Fastboot, you should see the Red Fastboot writing change to Fastboot USB Plug, when you see this run the RRU you downloaded, and you're device should be restored to Factory Default with the latest version of Froyo. You WILL loose all data and root and S-Off, but this is the only thing I can think of to fix your device mate hope I helped...
*Sorry, I just realised someone had posted a similar tutorial, I only read the first page of the thread, didn't realise there was a second. You don't need the AndroidSDK, if you have HTC Sync installed, then all the drivers should automatically be there, but when you run the RRU, just make sure that you close HTC Sync (it'll appear in the taskbar on Windows) as it thinks the device is syncing, and can occasionally cause problems.
YES!!!! You guys are amazing! I managed to find my old GoldCard and flashed the RUU jaaystott posted. The phone now boots up and everything is in perfect working order. I'll be sure to thank everyone for their help!
Hey guys I'm really desperate right now...
I don't know what to to, I can't boot my Desire, I can't get into recovery, just fastboot is working. I'm always stuck on the splashscreen.
To begin with the story, I rooted my Desire months ago, flashed a new rom from time to time and everything worked fine. So yesterday I wanted to try out RCMix S CM7 where the FAQ said i need S-OFF.
So this also worked quite fine. But then I got problems partitioning my SDCard (dont know what why or so, my Desire didnt recognize it anymore)
Today I tried again but I made it even worse, now I can't boot my Rom anymore and I can't get into Recovery. So what should I do? I searched the internet for hours now and tried nearly everything.
I tried to flash an official RUU, in fact this one: RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe
Becaus the others were too "old". But when I tried starting this one it couldnt detect my desire. USB connecion error.
But still it seems it flashed a new hboot because now I am S-ON again.
Then I tried to flash a Stock ROM via fastboot, which first failed because it wasn't signed and the second one failed because android-info.txt and android-product.txt were missing.
I tried to flash the recovery again but it's still stuck on the splashcreen.
I don't know what to do anymore... could you PLS help me? Or is my Desire now bricked??
What can I do, or try...?

Pat, is your phone branded ?
Flash the correct RUU for your phone (one that came with your phone originally), it does not really matter how old it is. after you done that your should get back to stock you can re-root it and then load the firmware you want.
if you don't know what your phone came with originally. then you will need a goldcard to get back to stock
@paul.c: nope it isn't branded
@dennis.l: I can't! I tried some of this list: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
The old ones with 1.15 and 1.21 started, but didn't work because it said they are too old or something like that.

RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4. 06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe
Then I tried the newer one with FroYo, but this one throw and error saying it can't even find or connect to my phone.
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00. 32U_5.11.05.27_release
So what I've read so far I definitely need a goldcard right?
But all those manuals say I have to boot up and activate USB Debugging Mode... but I cant boot up a rom. The only thing that is working right now is fastboot.
Is it possible to make a goldcard without booting up? Or do I have to get a working Desire to make the goldcard?
I haven't got a cardreader either but seems I've got to get one.
Right now I'm not at home so can just try it in the evening.

@dennis.l: I can't! I tried some of this list: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
The old ones with 1.15 and 1.21 started, but didn't work because it said they are too old or something like that.
RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4. 05.00.11_release_122704.exe
RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4. 06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe
Then I tried the newer one with FroYo, but this one throw and error saying it can't even find or connect to my phone.
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00. 32U_5.11.05.27_release
So what I've read so far I definitely need a goldcard right?
But all those manuals say I have to boot up and activate USB Debugging Mode... but I cant boot up a rom. The only thing that is working right now is fastboot.
Is it possible to make a goldcard without booting up? Or do I have to get a working Desire to make the goldcard?
I haven't got a cardreader either but seems I've got to get one.
Right now I'm not at home so can just try it in the evening.

You don't need goldcard for unbranded phones.
Even Unbranded phone requires goldcard to be able to flash any RUU...
So I prefer you create goldcard.. and yehs you can create goldcard without booting..
If you have anyone with android mobile.. goto market and search for goldcard helper.. and insert you memory card in that phone.. and run the goldcard helper.. it will give you the reverse CID .. whcih you can use to create goldcard... but you will require a card reader for sure..... just try your luck with your current phone.. just plug in the phone and run the Goldcard tool.. and check if your phone is detecting
THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!
You saved my life! xD
I made a goldcard as you said with the help of a friend and his desire. Then I put it my phone and suddenly I could flash the newest Stock ROM
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00. 32U_5.11.05.27_release
So everything went great, I've got root again, a working stock rom and I'm able to start recovery mode again.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

I'm glad to hear that. Sorry, it seems that I have to learn more.

Anytime Bro
I recently experienced a similar problem. And all the stuff you described wrong with your phone is the same on mine.
What I want to know is how to get back to stock and all that? A step by step guide would be very much apreciated..
I tried following this guide:http: //forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=691639
but as I try to enable my sdcard it get an error:
"The program can't start because AdbWinApi.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem".
I recently installed the JDK and just downloaded the newest android SDK to work with.
Besides I'm considering whether I'm doing this right. I do have to use the CMDprompt right? and direct it to my androidsdk/tools directory?
I'm pretty much new to messing around with my phone through the CMD though. Please be gentle when you describe any methods that might work..?
Regards,
Me

Adbwinapi.dll was moved to the platform-tools dir in the android sdk and the sdk path in Windows hasn't be updated. In win xp right click my computer, go to system then click the system variables button. Find "path" and change it to point in to the "platform-tools" folder... Note I'm not at my pc so I can't remember 100% what tab the system variables button is on

Stumbled into the same problem. Just download it from the internet.
hi,
rage is right, better declare environnement variable, right click comupter - select properties - windows select advanced and you should see variable environnement. just add the path where adb is installed... mine is the following defaut path(C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\tools) + (C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools) should add the in the user environ... name = path variable= the 2 path separated by a ;
Well I got desperate and I think that I've totally bricked my phone. I was going to a family arrangement and I didn't know the way so I was hoping that flashing the original RUU, would make me able to use the phone and the navigation in it, while starting the phone in fastboot would help. Seems it didn't. The RUU I tried to install seems it was a wrong one (here to say that I tried flashing it through the installer on my pc), but this was stated pretty late in the installation process.. where the guide told me to install a proper one.
My phone is now totally unresponsive. It won't even charge. When I hold the power button it just vibrates once and then nothing else happens.
Is it bricked? If so, does anyone know what my chances are with my warranty? Now that I've had it rooted and stuff, does my warrenty then expire and can they "track" the rooting part if I hand in it to their support?
Best of regards,
Me.

only guessing but if NOTHING turns on or boots, as in you just see a black screen then there is not going to be a way for any one to know the phone was rooted
try taking it back on warranty
I thought the same thing myself. Since it's unable to boot into the "recovery" menu by holding down "power + volume down" I guess it's not rooted anymore anyhow. During the RUU installation I noticed that it was installing a new "image-something" which I'm guessing means that it was writing over the root and recovery after which the installation failed.
Anyhow I'll try that and hope for the best. Thanks

Are you able to recognise the phone in adb at all?
From what I know it's very rare to completely brick unless you are flashing hboots or radios.
