[Q] Unrooting desire, 140 error, bricked? - Desire General

Hi after days of searching the internet I have finally realised I need to post here and ask for help, sorry if this has been posted before though as I have really looked hard everywhere!
Anyway, after flashing a RCMix rom my desire started to drop calls as soon as I either picked up or answered one and only ever rarely got 2G signal in what I know is H signal zones. I changed roms but the problem persisted and after countless hours of searching and trying my sim in other phones, I have deducted that it is my desire which is the problem.
So I'm going to take it back to a t-mobile store, as I were unrooting using the RUU exe I got the 140 error, my phone will no longer boot but still has bootloader, fastboot and recovery working! Is my phone bricked, I can't find any help anywhere on how to put my desire back to stock
Please could any of you shine some light onto my situation?
Many many thanks

You have recovery? Did you try installing another rom to make the phone work again?
After that you can try to unroot it again, I think...

Okay, I will try installing a froyo rom now, will post the results of a second unroot...

Right very strange indeed, just flashed AceSMod007 and signal problems have seem to have gone away (although I had tried this before with many roms - maybe the unrooting process fixed my phone somehow?)... so this means there is no need to unroot and send back to t-mobile, hmmmm all seems to good to be true! thanks for the help though, wouldn't of tried flashing another rom if you hadnt mentioned it

Issues Flashing New Radio

I know that I have already posted on someone else's thread, so I figured rather than hijacking someone else, I would start my own.
Here is my issue. I have tried every posted method out there for flashing Radios into my Sprint Vogue (flashed to MetroPCS). I am currently on NFSFAN's 1.00.6.5 Rom (21864), with radio 3.37.10.
I have tried...
*Flashing from SD card with a fat32 formatted 2 GB card, renamed radio to VOGUIMG.NBH (upper and lower case),
*Flashing via USB with ActiveSync on,
*Flashing via USB with ActiveSync off,
*Flashing via USB with bootloader preset,
*Flashed back to the Alltel rom used for SuperCID and tried to flash radio while in that rom,
*I have tried with radios 3.42.30, .40, and .50.
The only thing I have not tried has been mtty, but somehow I have my doubts that it will work.
Every time the RUU runs, it starts and the progress quits at 8%, with my phone being rebooted. Also, the RUU displays error message 328....
I have searched all over and tried a few things but most of them are related to the Titan and not to the Vogue. If anyone has encountered this issue and knows how to solve it, I am open for suggestions. Thanks...
I suggest your flash your phone with the stock rom of bell if your want the 3.42.5 radio. Just reset as soon as your see the 3 second customization screen.
Then unlock phone, and then flash your fav custom rom.....

I'll give that a shot. Thanks for the suggestion...
@SL
I followed your advice to a certain extent. I went with the latest Sprint official rom, which carried 3.42.30 in it. This seemed to work ok. I still cannot go to .40 but I guess if I flash from the original carrier that had this rom, I will be in good shape (Bell with .50, etc). Do you know which carrier has .40? Thanks for the help!!!
@ SL
I finally went over to the Bell rom that can be found in HTC's official website. I am finally up and running with 3.42.50!!!
I will probably try to make a sticky or a post describing the problem and the solution for people with the same issue, which I have seen quite a bit looking for an answer...
Once again, thanks for all your help!

no service at all after routine flash

Just flashed to a new rom yesterday and now my phone is completely incapable of getting a signal.
I've flashed plenty of roms and they've all worked fine until flashing to a 21889 rom yesterday (firestormLeo v5.5). Not a single bar of service since. Text messages don't get received and no data either.
I reflashed, hard reset after the flash, updated the radio, flashed back to an older rom that worked, and hard reset again.
Nothing works! I now have a completely unusable phone (phone-wise). It completely works otherwise (music, sync to pc, wifi etc) although it does seem to get warmer than usual. I'm assuming that's because it's trying to grab a signal or something.
Anyone have any ideas on whats going on?
I would try flashing the original rom/radio that came with your device including removing the spl and seeing if that fixes it.
If that doesn't fix it, then you are all prepared for warranty service.
If it does fix it, then you can reflash your favourite rom and it should still work. But sometimes flashing an official rom can fix things. I know back with my Kaiser it was advised to always flash an official rom between switching from an unofficial to another unofficial.
thanks for the suggestion!
just did all that and now i'm on stock rom and removed spl but it still has zero signal/service.
i bought this tmo tp2 from craigslist so i'm not sure if i'm covered by warranty. where do i go to get this fixed? or am i screwed
anyone else have any idea whats going on?
I had a similar problem with you(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=616426), and have been waiting for some reply since last night, though got none, but the problem disappeared on it's own.
I continuesly flashed and flashed official ROM's and Radio's, totally gave up at the end, charged the battery to 100%, removed battery and let it like that for 5 hours, did an hard reset, and well, working as well as new.
It's a T-Mobile version as well, though my problem was losing signal continuosly and asking for PIN again and again every 5-10 mins. HTC support offered me to use another SIM card today, since I asked what could I try last night, though I didn't have the need for it =)
A lot of roms do not come with a radio so you may have to get one and flash it. If you put stock rom back on make sure it has a radio as well. Make sure the radio matches the rom and the ril.dll is the right one.
I have not had the problem but have read about others flashing new roms and no signal only to find out they had to write a radio as well.
i'm certain i have the radio flashed on it and it isnt the problem.
just took the battery out and hoping it'll somehow fix itself in a few hours.
I would also recommend to flash the shipped stock rom. Go to htc's support/download page and download the rom they have for the t-mobile touch pro 2.
If that doesn't work, take it in for warranty with t-mobile. I purchased a used at&t tilt off craigslist and had an issue with it. Took it into at&t's device support center and they replaced it no questions asked.

[Q] messed up 3g after switching from MIUI

ok, heres the deal. Ive played with just about every rom for this phone. Then one happy merry day, i decide to install miui (i loved it on my dinc 1) then after getting my fill of it i went back to stock (andybones stock rom i think it was). Now the 3g keeps cutting off so i have to use wifi whenever i get the chance or be stuck with 1x, and it wont send or recieve calls unless im outside. I tried flashing the latest radio, trying different roms, RUU then reroot, but its still having this issue. Anyone else having this issue? Anyone find a fix?
BTW its the miui rom from miui.us

Have you tried *228 option 1 then *228 option 2 from an OTA based ROM? If not I would suggest giving that a try.

tried it didnt work tho. I even tried reinstalling the radio but it didnt help much. the way i see my best options are:
1) just call in for a replacement but ive already done that so much im sure verizon hates me xD
2) wait for the ics update to come out which i recently discovered is confermed by htc to come out soon this year
3) turbo charge the 3g i do have to get a better connection out of it and just stay on wifi when im at my house
unfortunatley i would really like to find a fix for this so if anyone wants to help out by finding a way or making one id appreciate it. Ive already googled the crap out of this but youre welcome to look around.
You could have a hardware issue, or you could be having the issue that just about everyone had on the Incredible 1 at some point.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=817487&highlight=3g+drops
Try that, but with files for our phone. Do NOT use the RUU for the Dinc1. Or, try flashing a stock based ROM like SkyraiderZeus. If none of this works, its probably a hardware issue.

[Q] WIFI Error after ROM change. [WFS]

So, I've been trying to fix this for what seems to be months now. OK I flashed to a ROM and bricked my phone. (Don't remember what ROM it was.) Then after a while, I flashed to another ROM while my phone was bricked, and it worked, however with no mobile data, only WIFI. Then I got the mobile data to work, and my WIFI just stopped working. Everytime I toggle WIFI, it says Error in the bottom of WIFI. I need help please!
[HTC-PG762]
I think your definition of bricked might be wrong. The most widely used definition of bricked is when you do something to the phone that stops it from turning on completely, hence the "brick".
What ROM did you flash? The Wi-Fi error you're experiencing is almost certainly caused by a fault in the ROM, not your phone.
Also, there's a Q&A section, post other questions there please
Like I said before I don't remember what ROM it was but I "think" it was a Buzz ROM not a Marvel ROM. And sorry bout the misuse of the word brick xD I mean that my phone wouldn't get past the HTC logo. I could only go to CWM recovery. I'm a noob at this, but I have a weird vibe that my WIFI "files?" are missing from my phone. And do I just copy and paste this thread to the Q&A section?
Geez, I'm so unlucky with all this flashing. I tried to flash to CM 7.2 for WFS to see if that might work... I'm back to square one, I'm stuck at the HTC boot logo again!!!! I tried to restore one of my backups, however it says MD5 sum mismatch or somthing like that.
FINALLY FIXED IT! It's all in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531932
It restored my WIFI and works perfectly!

Signal problems after update

Hello all,
I just received my shiny new HOX yesterday and it was working very well at first, however last night I updated it to the latest firmware (with Sense 4.1) and now it will not connect to the mobile network at all (no bars, won't find any networks when I manually search). I have noticed that it seems to be stuck in airplane mode.
Under airplane mode in the settings page it says "off", then a few seconds later it will say "turning off...", then it will go back to saying "off" and then back to "turning off.." and so on. I think it must be a bug in the firmware because I have tested the sim card in another phone (worked fine), and it was working fine before the update.
The only way to see if it is a bug in the firmware (as far as I am aware) would be to install a different ROM. However, I cannot find any way to install a new ROM (custom or stock) without unlocking the bootloader and therefore voiding the warranty (which I don't want to do in case it turns out to be a hardware issue).
I should also add that I could return the phone, but I would like to leave that as a last resort because I live in the middle of nowhere and trying to post stuff if a pain in the ass (and expensive).
I have also tried both a hard and soft reset, with no luck.
This is my first HTC device so I don't really know what I'm doing (although I have plenty of experience rooting and flashing my S2)
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
same prob
i've the same problem since the last update. hope it will fixed soon.

I'm glad I'm not the person having this problem . Does anyone know if it is definitely a firmware issue? (I might feel more confident about flashing a custom ROM if that's definitely the problem)
Anybody?
Maybe something went wrong with the OTA flash?
First thing HTC will do is flash the RUU to ensure it's back to stock. It will delete all your data, but it's worth a go.
You can use adb backup.
