[Q] another bricked phone thread; help needed - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've looked around for solutions as much as I could before posting
I've outlined everything I've done so far, not sure how much is relevant
Was running LeeDrOiD HD V3.3.1 before the phone became bricked
I rebooted the phone at one point, and the battery fell out during a reboot
Next time I rebooted it got to the ascii art android logo, onto a part with text on, and got stuck in a boot loop, the text had a progress part "so&so out of 2703kb" or something to that effect
(can't remember the text exactly)
After a few tries at rebooting it went to the home screen, however nothing loaded onto the home screen for 20 minutes, and the only function that worked was locking the screen, I couldn't turn it off or anything.
After this, everytime I booted it got stuck in a boot-loop on a splash screen of
"ANDROID" in silver writing
This is what I currently get when I boot my phone
When booted into recovery mode (hboot) I first get the message;
SD Checking...

After I get this message I am free to go into fastboot and recovery menu
The PC recognises the phone in fastboot (I'm running windows 7)
I tried reflashing the leedroid rom straight from the recovery menu, didn't affect anything at all.
Went on to reformat sd card entirely.
Tried updating to the latest ruu, as there was no ruu that was exactly the same as mine, my phone was originally on virgin mobile and there were no ruu's with the same baseband
RUU used; RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe
But the update fails part way through (after it reboots the phone) and gives
ERROR 131: CID ERROR
Rom update utility cannot update your phone at this time
Please get the correct rom update utility and try again

Can anyone help?

if you can go into recovery, try reflash the zip file again and let it do its job. your hboot is not screwed so it shall restart with a new flash. recommending you download oxygen and save it on your sdcard. due to its fastest to load and most stable.

Just FYI: bootloop is not any kind of brick, and you're not bricked either.
Just do full wipe and reflash the ROM.
If you want to go back stock, you will need goldcard when running RUU.

Did you do Full Wipe/Factory reset & dalvik cache wipe before flashing new ROM?
Do you have any partitions on SD card?

I wiped both
Yes, I partitioned it as instructed in the stickied noob guide
4GB partioned to 1GB of Ext3, the rest is FAT32. The partition is still there.

Probably something went wrong when you was creating ext partition, what i suggest is downloading this recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=661317&stc=1&d=1311251519 (md5sum zip: 170785457774834c7ae58e331d6f4ab4)
Put it onto your sdcard (root of SD, not in any folders), rename it to "PB99IMG.zip" and boot into bootloader.
It should ask if you want to update, choose yes.
Partition your SD in new recovery, it will also perfectly align it, try to flash with this should be good.

Didn't ask if it wanted to update
Text said loading image, A progress bar automatically appeared on the right, after it was done loading, it said 'checking image' then just went straight back into the bootloader

Are you sure you renamed file to PB99IMG.zip ? You can also try to rename it to PB99IMG (without extension)

Yep, just double checked and tried a few more times, redownloaded and tried again just to be sure.
When renamed without extension the phone didn't find it, renamed with .zip extension the phone seemed to recognise it, but stopped after saying "checking image"

If you are branded try to put in you gold card and then try...

What did you used to partition your SD card?

I'm just trying to create a gold card now (didn't know about them until after I flashed)
I used Gparted

You can also try to repartition in the recovery you have right now, might help who knows.

I'm crossing my fingers for the repartitioning from current recovery mode to work
because I'm not entirely sure on how to create a goldcard without being able to boot my phone normally
*edit*
Yes, that did indeed work
seems the file structure got fudged up when the battery fell out for a reboot
such a simple solution that I overlooked at the beginning sorry
Thanks for all your help

Create goldcard and bring your phone back to stock with the ruu you already wanted to use. With three goldcard you won't get the cid error.
Run unrevoked again, but this time you use a custom recovery:
http://downloads.unrevoked.com/recovery/3.21/reflash_package.exe
I can highly recommend rmd recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1137763
Download the zip, extract it and check the md5 of the image.
Standard amonra recovery:
www.android-hilfe.de/attachments/ro...-0-0-14-11-2010-recovery-ra-desire-v2.0.1.zip
Configure your phone correctly for using unrevoked.
Start unrevoked>file>custom recovery>choose the downloaded recovery image.
Run unrevoked.
If successfully done, go into recovery and flash custom rom.
The one k3lcior provided cannot be used as long as one is not s-on. So you cannot use it.
@k3lcior: Take care of this when you tell people to flash this recovery.

[Q] Wow, I'm a Noob.... No but Really, Please Help Me.

Well, I was trying to flash the newest ARHD, I already had 3.2, so i decided it was time to update. I read through the post and saw i needed clockwork 3.0.2.6 or higher, so I installed it through rom manger, This didn't work the first time so i deleted the file off my sd card, and tried again, my phone booted into CWM, I wiped cache, dalvik cache and system/data partitions. The tried to install the rom, I kept getting the error "(bad)" . So i booted into fastboot and with my extensive knowledge of command prompt (I'm used to terminal), proceeded to use fastboot commander, and tried to flash an older CWM through that, it said "SUCCESS" so i tried to boot into recovery to find out that it hangs at the HTC screen, then I tried to flash the rom through fastboot commander, and it failed, my original nand backup's system.img has gone corrupt, so the only thing I can do is flash the 1.32 PD98IMG.zip, so I put this on my sd card, well attempt, and my newish 16gb sc card decides it doesn't like me and stops working, I found an old 4gb card (I lost my 8gb) and copied the image to it, now when i boot into bootloader with the image on the formated sdcard, it goes through the image check at the start but takes maybe 3 minutes, then loads into the bootloader. During the check it fails on PD98IMG.zip and cannot find any of the others, is my DHD bricked?
This is really urgent, I need my phone by tomorrow, it's 10PM, can someone please help me.
Hi,
Firstly can you answer these questions.
1) Do you have ENG S-OFF?
2) Did you check the MD5 of the PD98IMG.zip & ARHD ROM prior to flashing?
Sounds like a bad download. Did the md5 match?
I have found this, hope it helps.

[Q] Stuck on S-Off Screen

Hi, i've been using LeeDroid for a few months now and all has been well, however yesterday my Desire turned itself off and now won't come back on. Each time i try and power it up it freezes at the Alpharev S-Off screen. I went into the menu's with volume down + power, but i can't get into my recovery - it takes me to the same frozen screen as does trying to reboot etc. And i don't think it's being recognized by usb either. So i really don't know what to do now.. is my phone bricked? I was a complete noob before rooting and flashing a custom rom before, so now that i've hit a problem i'm clueless all over again. Any help would be greatly appreciated
can you use fastboot? If so just flash a new recovery and all should be fine... chill out it can be fixed
What would i need for that? That's going into new territory

Can you access recovery? If no can you access bootloader (vol down + power on)
I can get onto the menu with the options 'fastboot, recovery, clear storage and simlock' if that's what you mean? The recovery option takes me back to my frozen alpharev screen, but i can get onto fastboot and after reading around i can get my pc to recognize it from fastboot usb from my pc using cmd.. Am i going the right direction at all? Eek. What i don't get now is the recovery image i'm supposed to use

Use amon_RA ... Download and flash onto ur phone and ur phone should be fixed
Plenty of guides around man, good way of learning fastboot
to use fastboot you need to download several things. Instead of using fastboot with cmd, I'd just recommend using fastboot commander, which does the job for you. In order to use that however, you will need the adb drivers, and Java SDK.
Once you've got all that, simply boot into fastboot, run "fastboot commander.exe", go into the "misc" tab, wipe Recovery, system, cache, boot, and userdata. Once you've done that download recovery, navigate to the "Hboot, radio & Rec" tab on fastboot commander, select recovery, find the recovery.img you just downloaded, and flash it. Once you've done that just boot into recovery and install any ROM you want.
Thanks for the replies guys. I did what you said to do (using fastboot commander), and when trying to boot into recovery to install my ROM it froze again at the alpharev screen. I'm stuck again now. When the files show up as you turn on into fastboot, i'm getting this..

www.alpharev.nl download a HBOOT and flash it through fastboot. Just make sure to check MD5 (you need a MD5 utility AFAIK)
I'm not sure which one is the right one for my ROM, i'm using LeeDroid.. Sorry for all the questions!

For any sense UI ROMs you would use the Sense HBOOT, remember to nandroid backup before you do so! because you might find that you get a bootloop after flashing the HBOOT.
And don't worry about asking questions! it's what we're all here for.
By the way if you don't know what different HBOOTs do: they change the partition sizes for /system /cache and /data. So by using a different HBOOT instead of the stock one you may get more storage for apps etc. if you choose one with a larger /data partition.... if that makes sense
Ok the sense one it is =)
Ah i see! Thanks for explaining cos underneath the nerd in me would have been wondering what it did lol.
Not sure how to get a nandroid done when i can't get into recovery though
I still havn't got anywhere with my problem, if anyone could advise me further i'd really appreciate it, as this is really stressing me out now.
The only screen i can still ever see is a frozen alpharev screen, and i still can't enter recovery. I've cleared everything using fastboot commander and flashed a new recovery which did nothing. Then i took the next advice and flashed a new hboot. The hboot has changed on my hboot menu (vol down + power) but still goes to the frozen alpharev screen when i try to go to recovery or turn the phone on. I then flashed a LeeDroid rom, which came up with an error at the end of it..
"sending 'zip' (173060 KB)... OKAY [ 23.469s]
writing 'zip'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)"
And that's as far as i've got.
Reading further i've been trying to work out how to flash a stock ruu to see if that works. However my phone was a branded Orange UK phone before so there is no ruu for that. So my question is, bearing in mind i can't get into the phone at all, how can i go about downgrading the hboot and installing a htc stock ruu. Can anyone point me to the right files i would need. I really don't know what i'm doing and i think the amount of searching i've been doing is just confusing me further

Hi.
As I can see the only way to restore is using a RUU to go back to stock then root and S-Off the phone again.
First: Preparation.
1. If you have a custom HBOOT (e.g.: 6.93.0001) you need first to flash the HBOOT Downgrader (found on alpharev site), then flash the RUU.
2. You will gonna need a Gold Card if your phone was branded.
Second: Starting
1. Make your Gold Card using someone's else phone (it has to be running Android) - the Gold Card is unique per SD Card, not per phone.
2. Use this tool to make the Gold Card: HERE
3. Guide how to make a Gold Card in Linux: HERE
4. get the latest RUU WWE 2.29.405.5. Extract the PB99IMG.zip file from the RUU: here it is how: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=880268 -2nd post.
5. Reboot in bootloader (Volume-Down + Power)
7. Select fastboot
8. Flash the HBOOT Downgrader (don't forget to check the MD5 of the file you have downloaded from alpharev)
9. Extract the PB99IMG.zip and put it on root of SD Card.
10. Reboot in bootloader (scroll to REBOOT and select)
11. It will automatically load the img and ask you if you want to install
12. Check Yes and follow onscreen progress.
13. Wait untill it finnishes
14. I think it will reboot itself, if not scroll down to the Reboot obtion and press Power button to select.
IMPORTANT WARNING!!!
droidzone said:
Whatever you do, DO NOT turn off the device manually unless the software tells you to. If something goes wrong, dont switch off phone. Keep the phone on while trying a solution. Newer RUUs dont usually wreck a phone, and with a goldcard, you can always recover. But, the flash SHOULD NOT be interrupted by switching off or disconnecting the cable.
Always start with a battery with >50% power (full recommended).

Or if you want to go to stock and it is an unbranded phone you can just run ur ruu when the phone is in fastboot

Think i may be the happiest girl in the world today lol i finally got it all fixed. I had a bit of trouble making the goldcard as at first my sd card kept saying it needed to be reformatted after, but after formatting it with SD Formatter program rather than Vista's own, it worked. All the rest went without a hitch. Now just gotta root, s-off and grab my new ROM and this past week can all get forgotten about =)
Thankyou so much to everyone that helped!

Whats wrong?
it always does that "search" for those files so don't worry about it, but never takes THAT long.. if you're S-OFF try flashing a new Hboot, could help.
If you're not S-OFF, then S-OFF using this, get different Hboots from here and check the MD5's with the tool attached - always check md5 of critical files before flashing as you can brick your phone.

actually I had done S-OFF some 2 months back and it was working fine.. The $Ext recovery i flashed is also working fine... takes atleast 10 secs to show the Recovery screen but still shows...
But it was after flashing this 4Ext recovery I got this error of Slow booting... it never hapened before it..
BTW I had flashed the recovery using Terminal Emulator... At first I tried using .zip file by lacing in SD card but it didnt work so I extracted the recovery.img file and flahed with terminal emulator...
Can it be possible that 4Ext recovery is causing this error...
not entirely sure... but you could always try flashing a different recovery.. try the one from my signature and put it where in the tools folder of your android sdk for ease..
Code:
cd\
cd android-sdk/tools
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-desire-v2.0.0-CM.img
you can use cmd or use fastboot commander.. whichever is easier for you

Maybe when you was trying to flash the recovery with PB99IMG.zip in HBOOT you then forgot to delete the file and it keep detecting it and trying to flash?
Just my 5 cents.

yes, just make sure to put it in the root of your sdcard. you "wont" lose all your data but you may be put into a bootloop because of the partition changes so do a nandroid backup

oh yeah true, but it's still got practise to have a nandroid backup just in case, so you don't loose your data
SOLVED
Thanks to jjdoctor, this was solved for me (was taking 2 mins plus for each of the 4 checks, totalling aprox 12mins for bootloader to run) by formatting the sdcard in my phone using 4ext recovery. I took a nandroid, copied off the sdcard contents, formatted the card (ext4 and fat32), and then restored the card contents, and then restored the nandroid. Works perfectly now.
jjdoctor fixed his/hers by creating the partitions using gparted on PC and then re-formatting in the phone, but I just formatted it straight on the phone. Hope it help someone else.

Trying to install a custom ROM

Hey,
Basically, I've got a HTC Wildfire with HBoot 1.0.0.2 - s-off was already disabled by stock.
I first of all tried to root with revolutionary, this attempt failed and it booted back up into a red triangle with an exclamation mark - pulled the battery out and all was fine again, booting into android. Realised later that this was due to being on 2.2.1
Then I tried rooting with Gingerbreak, it gave me a failed message and say it might just be the fact that it failed to restart - rebooted the phone and superuser was installed so it appears to have worked
ok so, installed custom rom manager and tried to install clockworkmod, it appears to have installed but when I click boot from clockworkmod it reboots and goes back into the red triangle?
any ideas to what might be going wrong, i think theres a problem with the clockworkmod installation
THANKS
Get a PC49IMG.Zip of a CWM Recovery version you want from here: (Point #6), place on SDCard, and reboot into HBoot. It will install CWM, then try selecting Recovery again in HBoot
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12782368&postcount=2
I am assuming by "s-off was already disabled by stock" you mean you ARE S-OFF.
It says S-OFF on the top of HBoot, so I would presume that it was disabled from factory
I put the .zip on the SD card, and booted HBoot - it did it's scan for files at startup but did not find the zip on the sd card? does it have to be in a particular place on the SD (PC49IMG.ZIP)
It's saying not found or wrong image - Im trying to use ClockWorkMod v5.0.2.0 - Click here for PC49IMG ZIP and its on the root of the sd card
I hope you clicked the right part of the link. Clockworkmod v5.0.2.0 and Click here for PC49IMG ZIP link to two different files. Try downloading the right hand side file (Which is a file named PC49IMG.zip), place that on your sd card and try again.
It should not be in any folder / sub-folder on your sd. Just place it as it is.

Any help to get a working phone would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!!!
Any chance the SD card is corrupted?
card
Not sure, the card seems to work ok in my computer, and I used a different card to try and flash the roms and the return to stock PM32IMG.ZIP. I will try another card when i get one.
Install another recovery... I personally like 4ext. Its in the dev section... also did u nandroid your stock rom before flashing? Try restoring it an verifying it is a correct md5 for the rom and that your recovery is up to date

Hey, this is DroidDev from AndroidCentral. Just incase you didnt see it there:
Seems like corrupted HBOOT or Bootloader to me? Will do some more digging/thinking but it doesnt look good.
When you install the pg32img.zip, which is the stock RUU, you roll everything back to stock. HBOOT, OS, everything, even loosing root. First thing it tried to do is roll back the HBOOT, it if cant do that then you probably have corrupted HBOOT.
In the mean time I would grab the Froyo RUU here and try that:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1466295
If you were trying with the Froyo RUU, then try the Gingerbread one. The Guide in this thread, if you read it, has instructions on pushing hboot starting at step 11. But I would just do the guide from beginning to end. It will return your phone to complete stock froyo. If successful you can upgrade back to GB.

If you cant get the Froyo RUU to install then I would not continue with the guide, could make it worse.
Here is a link to the GB RUU for you.
Turn on your phone and enter the bootloader, select fastboot and plug into your computer. Leave the phone here, then just run the .exe file on your computer. This'll wipe everything including bootloaders, radio, recovery etc. back to stock GB, without relying on your SD card to do the work.
It's worth a shot, while I don't think the SD card is the issue I haven't been able to not recover with an RUU before, from anything
Good luck!
Sounds like flash memory is messed up, I bet all partition sizes read zero, same thing happened to me. I tried to reformat with parted but no luck.I never could find exact sizes for the various mtblk's but my final judgment was that the physical flash memory was fried. dunno maybe if you knew the exact format sizes for everything you could try to push the needed Linux file through adb and try to reformat them one at a time, but I never could get it to work.
On a side note someone on XDA who said they work @ Verizon said they've had a rash of inc2's being turned in with similar problems, maybe a manufacturing glitch

Ok, so i tried flashing the 4EXT recovery by loading on an sd car and flashing with fastoot. Appeared to install, but still getting same problems. Tried to flash the recovery with abd fastboot from computer...just sticks a writing... never completes. Also tried flashing different backups and ROMS from flashboot with computer, with ROMS I get a message saying their is an error in zip file and can't be read. Tried to install Froyo ROM again via fastboot from SDcard. Just hangs at 2nd 1 saying updating for hrs, never completes. Not sure how to run GB RUU by the exe file? Do i extract the RUU file first? Whenever I have tried to extract those update files in the past i got an error. I'll try and figure it out this afternoon. An interesting side note, CM9 rom appears to install via flashboot from card but never loads upon reboot. Thanks to All for their continuing help!!!
PS...surfing at work and found this post - http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/6433-solved-messed-up-partitions-on-internal-storage/ - sounds similar to my problem...basically says partitions on internal storage are messed up and how to use parted to fix. May also try that.
well, tried to install the gb rom exe file. Hung almost from the start, trying to reboot phone into bootloader. I'm at loss. Guess I have a new red paperweight. Not sure how to do parted, so holding off on that for now. Open to any other suggestions.
your using the wrong ruu i think you have to get the latest update, god and i forget the link, go to rootzwiki, jelly belly has what you need or condemned soul on here
My DINC2 is FIXED!

Hey man thank you, I had the same issue as the thread starter and tried all the same methods as he did before searching the forums. Your solution worked for me after getting the latest RUU from jellybelly. This event happened to me randomly, i think the wrong buttons were pushed while my phone was in my pocket. I have a commuter otterbox case and it makes the buttons easier to press. But some tips:
1. verify md5sum
2. i had s-off so I used the latest 2.3.3 ruu file from jellybelly
3. rename downloaded zip file "PG32IMG" only exclude the .zip part like what most folks tell you.. i explain below
i initially renamed the zip "PG32IMG.zip" and stored on the root location of the sdcard, well fastboot/hboot could not find the file, after loading the sdcard back on my computer and clicking the files properties i noticed the the file name was "PG32IMG.zip.zip", after renaming the file to "PG32IMG" the bootloader was able to find the zip file and the process was completed.
4. I do not know about an .exe file, If you can get into fastboot/hboot by holding the "volume down button" + power , that is the method i did
I hope I helped somebody and thanks everybody for yours!
I had similar problems sticking on white with green HTC on it. Mine had to do with the boot.img. I had to extract a boot.img out of a rom put it in folder on C Drive installed rom with 4extrecovery let it load but did not reboot I connect to computer pulled up bootloader with adb and flashed the boot.img and flash reboot and it past that screen and loaded. Had to be unlocked to do it.
