[Q] [Bootloop] after hard reset - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone,
I've been searching for a matching topic but couldn't find one. If I'm asking something which has already been explained, I hope someone could give me a push in the right direction with a link, as I would be able to manage my way from there.
I have a rooted desire (amoled version). It wouldn't charge or turn on etc., I'm not sure which rom/bootloader is/was installed.
When I fixed the problem (battery connectors were bent) it finally booted, after which I thought I'd do a quick "return to factory settings" from the menu to clean the storage.
Now I'm stuck with a bootloop showing a moving glare over the word "android".
I can't get into hboot by holding down volume up or down uppon powering the device, so another reset isn't possible.
Read that the first boot always takes up some time, but even after hours it's still showing the android animation.
Figured it might have anything to do with the sd-card (4GB) installed. Perhaps do I need to reformat?
Any help would be highly appreciated!
EDIT 6/25/2011 21:43 GMT+1:
Found out about "fastboot", which I can access by holding back + power. From here I did another reset, but the bootloop continuously exists.
I think a next step would be to wipe the cache, but I'm not sure of this. Could anyone confirm this to me?

[Q] stuck on htc screen after using rom manager

Help! I just rooted my new Desire with the unrevoked method. Then I installed Rom Manager, saved its recovery mode and backed up my ROM. Everything seemed to go well enough, but now my Desire is stuck endlessly rebooting to the HTC Screen.
I can access the Clockmod Recovery screen however. I've tried the system reboot option but that just gets me the Htc screen rebooting again and again.
I'm pretty much a newbie to this and didn't want to choose another option (wipe data/factory reset, restore saved rom) without checking it out as I don't want to brick my new Desire.
Could someone give me a step by step plan for recovering my Desire?
Many thanks,
Joe
Nice thing you have a nandroid backup. Just restore the backup. it should work.

You have to wipe all the data and just flash a new Rom.

stuck on htc screen after using rom manager
Thanks for this. A couple of other newbie questions. As I understand it, I wipe the data using the Recovery option, and I found the how to flash a rom instructions. If I want a stock rom (like the one that came with the Orange Desire here in the UK) where would I get that? And do you think it might work if I restored the first backup I made, or do you think that's faulty...
Thanks again,
Joe
stuck on htc screen after using rom manager
Things went from bad to worse. My battery seemed to stop charging so I wasn't able to get back to the recovery screen, and when I plugged the desire into the computer via the usb cable I simply got a flickering htc screen. I've had to send it back to Orange.
This experience has certainly made me leary of rooting and using rom manager again!
Does anybody have any explanation of what went wrong?
Joe
When the phone gets stuck in that loop when its trying to boot it wont charge, im not sure why.
The same thing happend to me using Rom manager. (maybe its a bug with the new version, or maybe we just didnt use it right)
I managed to get my phone to charge by taking out the battery and putting it back in ... so the phone was off, put it into the charger until it was fully charged and then did the recovery.
Battery affected by rom manager?
There's an addendum to this story. I replaced my Desire but had the same problem again, which seemed to be down to the battery in the end. Is it possible that the (virtually new) battery was affected by either rooting or rom manager backing up the rom? It seems very weird!
Joe
This might work for you
Remember to power down your Desire totally and charge it for about 2 hours or so (just to be safe) and continue.
WAIT, BEFORE YOU START, CREATE A GOLDCARD. IT IS VERY NECESSARY. THINGS WILL GO WRONG IF YOU DONT.
EDIT: YOU MUST BE ABLE TO BOOT GO TO THE BOOTLOADER MENU.
Firstly, download this file. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13240777/Desire Downgrade.ZIP
Extract the files.
Run the win-down.bat file.
Follow on screen instructions.
After the process is completed, Head to the root of your SD card and check if there is a file named P99***IMG (FORGOT THE EXACT NAME BUT IT SHOULD BE SOMETHING LIKE THIS) there should be one.
Secondly, disconnect your phone and turn it off.
After that boot up your phone while pressing the volume down button and the power button.
The bootloader should be checking for files after awhile and once it found the file that is supposed to be in the root of your sd card, press the volume up button (NOT EXACTLY SURE, SHOULD BE THE ONE THAT SAYS YES AND CONTINUE)
It should be writing files to your phone. and replaces everything. E.G: HBOOT, RECOVERY,RADIO and such.
It should be writing files successfully and then it would ask you to reboot. Continue with the reboot and you should be having your Desire back to stock. Perfect.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THERE ARE RISKS INVOLVED LIKE FAILURE OF WRITING TO THE HBOOT. PLEASE REMEMBER TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS. MAINLY, DO NOT BLAME ME FOR ANYTHING THAT GOES WRONG.
FINALLY, YOU SHOULD BE READING EVERYTHING UP TO HERE AND THAT YOU MUST HAVE A GOLDCARD (A GOLD SD CARD)
Hope this helps you and please ask if you have further questions. PM me if the questions cannot be answered here. Good Luck
Ta
Thanks for the long reply. Sadly, I'm unable to test it out as I had to return my phone to Orange. I'm still rather mystified by what happened in the end (how could rooting affect a battery?) but I'll keep your reply on hand in case it happens next time I root.

[Q] Really need help! Would be much appretiated!

I just rooted my Desire and all went well. Then I installed ROM manager and decided to backup my current rom to see how it works.
When i selected backup rom it took me to a screen with an exclamation mark on it, i pressed the power button went down and did the backup.
However when my phone reboots it shows the htc logo on bootup and gets stuck in some kind of loop and just displays the boot logo over and over.
This is my first attempt at anything like this and i am quite worried.
Any help would be greatly appretiated!
Firstly, I take it you didn't make sure a stock ROM was available for you should anything go wrong?
Secondly, turn the phone off, turn it on again whilst holding volume down to get to HBOOT and then select clear data. This will wipe everything and should allow the phone to reload...
I have the official RUU file that my phone was running: RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.10.405.2_R_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_142828_signed, which i downloaded for shipped-roms.
Would that make any difference?
Thank you for the reply.
Someone who actually did the right thing for once!!! WOO HOO!!
You can use that to go back to stock so you can start again, and at least you'd have a working phone
Thank you sooo much!
Ok sorry if this sounds silly, but i really dont want to make another mistake.
So i just run the ruu file on my pc connect my phone and let it do its thing?
Or are there any specifics i should be aware of?
Im not sure what went wrong but i am still not managing.
I tried going into the bootloader and clearing the storage but the device is still stuck in that loop when it trys to boot.
I have the official ruu file on my pc but im not quite sure how to use that to restore my phone.
Could someone please maybe help with that? Or is there any other way i could resolve this issue?
Before you start you need HTC Sync installed on your PC. Once done:
1. Start the RUU
2. Connect your Desire
3. Select 'HTC Sync' from the options on the phone
4. The RUU should recognise the phone and allow you to continue
5. Follow the instructions
Thank you that you are taking the time to help me, it really means alot.
At the moment i can only access the HBOOT on the phone, the phone is still not able to boot, still get caught in that loop?
Ok i got the phone to start up, thanx for all the help!

[Q] CM7 upgrade help

Hi all.
I'm really sorry if this has been covered before - I've searched but found nothing specific, and I'm at work just to make it trickier.
I was on T-Mobile UK stock ROM until lunchtime today, at which point I followed the instructions from this thread to upgrade to CM7 RC0. Following the upgrade, I used Titanium backup to restore my apps and data. Everything looks okay, but I keep getting random force closes for android.process.media. Can somebody please help me with this - it seems to come up when I try to change any sound option, but also in the market when loading my apps.
Factory reset
something u restored from ur stock apps backup is messing with ur current settings .i recommend u to factory reset and then install apps carefully (only user apps) dont go and even try those system apps ...
I'm no advance user yet.. but hey we both got cm7 at same day day and same time ..
i'm just learning ..if u still need help i'll be glad to help
I might have made it very much worse
after reading a bit more, I opted for clearing my cache in recovery mode... that made it worse, leaving me stuck at the M logo. Other posts pointed me in the direction of reflashing the SBF file and starting again, but this left me with a looping MotoBlur animation after flashing the sbf. recovery mode is now not getting past the ! triangle.
My phone appears to be a brick, and I know I've just done something stupid. Is there anyone who can offer any advice? Please?

OK when you see the ! triangle to get into the recovery menu you need to press the volume up button & volume down button at the same time (this is for froyo 2.2 - if still on eclair 2.1 then just touch the bottom right hand of the screen) then you will access the recovery menu.
From there you can do a factory reset & then hopefully it should boot up OK.
Just beware that your battery may be getting low on charge & this makes it a bit trickier but not impossible.
Thanks. I figured out the volume buttons to access the recovery menu, managed to re flash the sbf file, then left it to reload cm7 in the morning. Thanks for all your help, panic mode is neither my favourite, nor my best.

I had the *exact* same issue over the weekend. Was able to fix it by following the installation instructions again. Glad you got your phone working again too, I know I'll be very careful with TB in the future.
But... Does anyone know why a (simple?) cache wipe gets you stuck at the M logo (2ndInit still works, but nothing after that)

[Q] Advanced Ace Hack Kit issue

Earlier today, I ran the updated 15/10/11 version of the ace hack kit. Like it was suggested, I read through the manual then I re-read it and re-read it again. As suggested, I disabled / uninstalled all security software on my pc and the other superfluous services. Ran the executable drivers file then I set the phone to charge only and usb debugging was ticked.
I then ran the hack-ace.cmd file as administrator and let the program do it's thing.
It appeared to have completed without any glitches in the suggested 6 minutes.
However, on the phone, all was not well. Since running this, the screen remains blank. When I power on, I get the HTC logo and then it disappears / disintegrates into a blank screen and nothing happens.
The only reason I ran this was to get rid of the irritating apps that I never use but have to Kill every day.
Can anyone help to overcome this problem? This was a replacement handset that I had to fight with my insurance company to get only for this to happen.
I am literaly at my wits end.
Thanks

i think you need to install custom rom and flash it in recovery follow the steps in instruction in ace hack kit because it happen to me also when I ran the ace hack kit..

Yes this is the best thing to do. Something must have corrupted your stock ROM. If AAHK completed properly, then you should have ClockworkMod recovery installed.
The first thing I did was install 4EXT recovery but thats not necessary, that was just a personal choice.
So these are the steps you should take:
1: Download a new ROM and put it on your SD card in a convenient place (I recommend the RCMIX32 Runny 3.1 ROM)
2: Remove the battery and reinsert the battery
3: Hold down the volume down button and then hold down the power button. You will get to a white screen with some green robots on the bottom. This is the bootloader screen. You will have to wait a bit for it to finish scanning the SD card. It will tell you when it is finished
4: Use the volume buttons to select recovery and press the power button to select it
5: After a few seconds the recovery environment will appear
6: Go to the wipe menu. Wipe data, cache and dalvik cache (and system if you have the option. I havent used Clockworkmod in a while so I cant really remember what options you have there)
7: Go a few menu's back and select Install zip from SD card
8: Select the zip file
9: Press yes on the confirmation screen
10: When it is finished, click reboot now. It might be on the menu back
This will install a new ROM and it should work properly. If you have any problems along the way just say and we will help to the best of our ability
Thanks for the responses.
I don't think ClockworkMod is installed as there are no options available when I select recovery. It just reboots the device back to the HTC splash screen which as mentioned then fades / deteriorates to a black screen. I had tried the Android HD Revolution rom but no difference.
One thing I did yesterday in my panic was to select 'Factory reset'. Will this have usb debugging setting?
Finally, when I connect to a pc, it doesn't see it. Is this because it's still set on charge only mode?
I'm probably my own worst enemy
If you finally press "Factory reset" you will reset USB debugging, then you can't root your phone using this tools kit. Try to reinstall the stock rom.
If you didn't root your DHD. Phone may still under warranty.
Hi Guys
I've managed to get this back up and running again.
After a lot of playing about with various file downloads last night, I finally managed to get my pc to see the phone. After that, I just downloaded a stock rom and installed it.
After this fright, I am reluctantly going to stick with this and not bother with rooting / custom roms.
Anyway, many thanks for all your responses, I really appreciate the time you took to helpo me out.
This forum absolutely rocks.
Hi,
I've just downloaded, I read the 'effen' manual and then ran ace-hack, it seems to have worked except I can't see clockwork mod recovery?
I can see superuser and ROMmanager, is it still ok to try and download and flash a custom ROM?
---------- Post added at 09:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 PM ----------
Well to confirm my noob status I have now found that clockwork mod recovery is indeed installed (I assume you're not meant to be able to see it as an app as it sits at a lower level).
I downloaded the CM7 ROM, so have booted up into recovery mode, have wiped/formatted as instructed but when I choose the zip file from SD card it appears to start then aborts installation...help!!!!

Did you check the MD5 Checksum of the .zip before you copied it to your SD Card? as it might is some way have got corrupted.
Here is a link to what I always use before I copy anything to my SD Card or install on my OS System:- MD5 Check 2.1.
Take Care
TheQuest
Thanks!
I'm all sorted (I think, fingers crossed).
It was principally because of the mac unzipping (Safari preferences not checked), this was the original and prime fault.
That caused me to doubt my partitions on the SD card (google is sometimes your enemy) which I altered.
So what then happened was CM7 installed but upon reboot looped continuously on the android skateboarding screen.
I finally resorted to formatting the SD Card, reapplying the CM7 zip and the google zips and so far it looks good.
Of course I (me and me alone) has stuffed up all the user data I had on the SD card. I might try to recover some photos but stuff like contacts I can regenerate no major loss there.
Thanks for replying!!
CM7 - the experience thus far
Well its 72 hours since I took the plunge!
Initially it looked odd and felt flakey, the Market refused to download 80% of the apps I tried. I resolved this (not sure if it was the right way) by going into recovery and clearing the cache 2-3 times and eventually downloaded all of my old apps.
Some apps cause frequent force-closes, I assume because they've not been updated for Gingerbread? Thats a very minor irritant, I can easily live without these apps anyway.
Battery life hasn't noticeably altered yet but I suppose I have been constantly been tinkering, playing with settings, trying wifi (seems a little less sensitive to signals) and gauging how the radio is working - I seem to get HSPDA a lot less and resort to 3G more than I previously did?
So, done it, like it despite some minor reservations - now what, is there anything else I can do to improve the experience?
I must add one thing this has shown me - I really really know very little about what goes on under the hood. Despite 20+ years experience in CIS this is a very different world and all credit to those who have developed CM7!!
Please help if you can.. please
Hello!!
I am desperately seeking some guidance. Please.
So, I used to have a HTC Inspire 4G and in June I rooted it successfully.. then installed Cyanogenmod 7 etc.. everything worked great. I unfortunately lost the phone and because of insurance got a new one.
When I rooted the first time I used the old school method that was in the XDA forum.. ADB..etc.. but today... with the new replacement..
I downloaded Advance ace hack kit 29102011 (ahhk 29102011.zip) which after reading all the stuff I thought would be just a quicker way to get rooted. I used the same PC that I used before.
This time, unfortunately I am getting a black screen, right after the HTC splash screen shows up.. it fades to black.
I can get to the "Hboot" screen but removing the battery, then restarting by holding the power and the down vol button.
Tried Factory reset.. still fades to back
Tried Recovery .. still fades to back
The device will not be recognized on my laptop when connected to USB..
Am I stuck? Do I have any options?
I should have done what I did before.. but am at a loss right now.. will you please help me.
Please.
Thanks a million in advance for your responses.

[Q] Unsuccessful Root of Desire HD. Please Help, Newbie Here.

Hello everyone, first of all I am a total newbie not just to rooting but also today was my first time ever using linux so please bear with me. Having said that, I have done my best to learn and understand the linux commands in the effin manual and followed all instructions as best as I could though I couldn't understand them well enough which is why I am here.
I am using Ubuntu 11.04 64 bit live cd but managed to install the i32-libs as stated in the effin manual. This is the only version of Ubuntu I could get from my friends as I have very slow internet connection and cannot download the new version or just the 32 bit one.
Anyway, on to the problem at hand.
I first ran the aahk, going through all the steps in the effin manual. My phone was originally on 2.3.5 and Sense 3 so I had to downgrade and the aahk downloaded the necessary rom(?) or RUU (?) to do this.
Once that was done, aahk carried on until the step where my phone rebooted.
This was where things started going wrong for me.
When the phone rebooted into 2.3.3 and started the wizard to set up my phone, I went through all that.
If I recall, at this point the aahk screen was up to “Once the downgrade is successful, press a key to return to the menu.... Otherwise, cut and paste the output to the screen into a text file for evaluation... then press a key. Press any key to continue...”
However, the step before that, “The phone will now reboot into HBOOT. If everything is okay, the phone will prompt you to continue by pressing VOLUME UP. It will reboot, flashing twice.”
PUSH POWER WHEN THIS STEP COMPLETES
I don't recall this happening for me or maybe it did but I did not notice. I did not press VOLUME UP nor see the flashing twice but surely it happened? Otherwise I would have been able to reboot into the phone environment correct? My head is spinning now...
Okay, this is where I may have gotten ahead of myself when reading the effin manual. You have to understand, I was just brimming with joy “thinking” I had successfully rooted my first ever and one and only smartphone.
I started looking for BusyBox or Superuser but couldn't find anything.
Not knowing what else to do, I rebooted the phone MANUALLY (hold power button and reset).
Then everything started going wrong.
Please don't get mad. I did not realise the aahk had to reboot several times. I thought once and that was it. I just found that out now.
However, between that time and when I found this out I believe I caused all sorts of damage.
When the phone rebooted, it got stuck on the white screen with HTC logo and aahk was no longer working.
The wrong things I did were to to go into HBOOT and RECOVERY and WIPE EVERYTHING (DATA, CACHE, DAVLIK, EVERYTHING) *SORRY!*
And so here I am, hoping someone can help me.
After searching around the forums some similarities I had with other users in the past was that the phone is still showing S-ON and because of what I had done, aahk did not get to work properly so my phone has no ROM and no RECOVERY.
And I also JUST realised I made things worse by deleting USB debugging when I WIPED everything!.
Please help.... (_ _”)
I can help you out. Can you still go in Hboot?

Do not panic...although you did a factory reset and disabled usb debugging, you can solve your situation. Just flash the RUU (PD98IMG-GBx.zip) file you used to downgrade the phone. It has to be in the PD98IMG folder of the Hack Kit. Make sure that it is that file and no other. Rename it PD98IMG.zip and then put it in the root of the sdcard. Then boot in hboot and update pressing volume up. Let it finish....then you will have a working phone. Then re run the hack kit to Gain S-OFF and Root....if you can´t do it just hit the IRC Channel that is stated in the OP of the Hack Kit thread.
benydc, glevitan, thank you both for the offers of help and advice.
I eventually found my way to the IRC aahk support channel and was blessed to get the help of attn1, one of the ops there.
He helped me through my problem and now everything is as is should be. Thankfully I have a working rooted phone.
Everyone there was very friendly and helpful, not just attn1. He must have spent the last two hours or so juggling with helping out three users (probably more). We even got to make some friendly banter amongst ourselves.
Though I was freaked out initially, I am glad everything works now and from the support I got there, I am somehow not going to shy away from trying to learn about rooting.
I managed to save all the text during our conversation so when I get the time, I will try and build a simple but detailed walkthrough of how attn1 got my phone working again. I will post it here so that it may help others who find themselves in a similar position one day.
Many thanks you guys. This is a great community.
