Bricked T-Mobile G2 - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I recently lost recovery on my phone and after trying to flash a pc10img.zip through the bootloader, my phone now won't get past the HTC logo.
I tried flashing CM7 from fastboot update but it tells me :
Code:
archive does not contain 'android-info.txt'
archive does not contain 'android-product.txt'
error: update package has no android-info.txt or android-product.txt
I did fastboot erase system -w before flashing and I tried fastboot flash recovery clockworkmod but it was still not accessible.
At the top of my bootloader it says
Code:
VISION PVT ENG S-OFF
HBOOT-0.84.2000 (PC1010000)
MICROP-0425
RADIO-26.08.04.30_M3
eMMC-boot
Someone please help me get my phone back to working!
Edit:
Following this guide: http://theunlockr.com/2010/12/01/how-to-unroot-the-t-mobile-g2-htc-vision/ I tried to return to a stock rom, flashed the pc10img.zip to get S-ON and HBOOT-0.82.0000 and Radio 26.02.01.15_M2 but still I can't get into the stock recovery. I can use fastboot and adb from the HTC screen, but trying to push anything says it's a read-only system.

[Q] Need help loading new RADIO on DZ

Hey all, hope you can help me out. I've done lots of reading and I can't figure it out.
I'm running CM7 currently and want to upgrade the RADIO from 26.03.02.18 to 26.06.02.27.
I'm rooted, S-OFF and CIDNUM=11111111, and I've loaded the Eng H-boot 0.84.2000
Boot loader screen output:
VISION PVT ENG S-OFF
HBOOT-0.84.2000 (PC1012000)
MICROP-0425
RADIO-26.03.02.18_M3
eMMC-boot
I got the 26.06.02.27 RADIO image from cyanogenmod wiki page.
The android-info.txt within the PC10IMG.zip contains the following:
modelid: PC10*****
cidnum: 11111111
mainver: 1.19.531.1
hbootpreupdate:13
When I place the PC10IMG.zip file on the /sdcard and fastboot it just boots with lines "no image or wrong image". It never detects the PC10IMG.zip file in order to upgrade the radio.
Anyone have any suggestions? I'm all out of ideas.
Thanks.

rename the downloaded file to PC10IMG.zip and place in the root of your SD card.
Actually I just got it done using the flashboot from android sdk. I just extracted the radio.img from the ZIP file and did the following...
1. get fastboot/Android SDK on your PC
2. reboot your phone to bootloader -> fastboot
3."fastboot flash radio R:\radio.img"
worked like a charm..
thanks for your response.

[Q] Wildfire S error 155 when running RUU

When running the RUU I encounter an error 155.
After unplugging the data cable:

RUU
Security fail!
Update fail!
The bootloader is unlocked via HTCDEV
The phone is rooted. CWM installed and reinstalled via rommanager
I assume that:
fastboot oem lock
might work to fix the security fail.
Can anyone give me an advice on howto proceed?
After removing battery and reinserting battery, the phone boots normally.
Regards,
Ruud
PS: I managed to collect rom.zip from temporary directory

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Try to relock your boot loader, with command fastboot oem lock.
Then try to run RUU again.
The error 155 seems fixed.
Now I get an error 131
Suppose it is time to rename the rom.zip I recovered to PG76IMG.zip and try to flash it?
so create gold card and reflash the phone?
Regards,
Ruud
Gold card succesfully created, but still no succesfull flash
Main Version is older!
Tried several (4) stock zip's but each time:

Can anyone give me an advice on howto proceed?
Is there a way to circumvent Main version is older?
Is it possible to make a dumpfile from misc or so, which can be hex-edited, if so which raw-device I have to cat into an img-file?

I had the same problem, with BL unlocked, you do not need gold card.
extract the rom.zip
Copy:
boot.img
system.img
to your computer Android directory (where you have fastboot and adb, you need to download them)
boot WFS into hboot, mark fastboot, hit power button and attach usb cable
now open a command shell in the computer:
fastboot flash boot boot.img <-- will flash kernel and boot
fastboot flash system system.img <-- will flash stock rom
now go to hboot, factory reset and restart
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1530864 this will help you just click the last option and you will be able to try again and it will work

[Q] Trouble restoring DINC2

I have tried flashing the signed RUUs that I found in another post, but I either get invalid or it sticks at verifying. I don't know where to proceed from here - I can't recognize the device in CMD either (adb devices results in no devices found). What step should I take next? Am I bricked?
I would appreciate any help, I'm getting really disheartened by all of this I have dug through every post like mine to no avail.
After you HTCDev Unlocked, did you flash a recovery and a ROM? What are you trying to do?
Since you're still S-ON, when you flash a ROM you also need to extract the boot.img from the ROM zip and flash that in fastboot using "fastboot flash boot boot.img". That could be why you're stuck at the white screen, there is no boot image.
If you're trying to flash a ROM, flash a custom recovery "fastboot flash recovery" and then the name of your recovery file, like "recovery-CWM-5.0.2.0.im" or whatever. Then flash the ROM in recovery. Then reboot to hboot and flash the boot.img.
Adb will only work if you're in recovery or the phone is booted. If you're in hboot you need to use fastboot commands.
If you really want to flash a RUU, you need to get into fastboot and give the command "fastboot oem lock", which of course relocks the device.

[Q] Can't update bootloader, stuck on CM bootscreen

So I tried updating from a CM10 nightly to CM10.1 RC5 today. It went did not end well.
I extracted the boot.img from the zip and ran "fastboot flash boot boot.img", I then ran "fastboot erase cache". However, when I rebooted into hboot I noticed that it still said H-BOOT-1.12.0000, I then tried to just boot into standard CM again, which hangs on the boot animation.
I've tried a ton of other boot images since then, but none of them work. Did I just brick my phone?
This is the information displayed on the hboot screen:
*** UNLOCKED ***

Please help
the boot.img won't update the bootloader! only the firmware does....
I just wanted to say the same thing..you mixed boot.img and h-boot
boot.img is ROM-s specific kernel, H-boot is like "bios"
To upgrade h-boot you can:
1. Reverse your phone to full stock and do OTA update which automatically upgrade h-boot
2. Or flash manually firmware specific for you CID - you can find firmware collections here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376
Search on forum guide how to properly upgrade h-boot, but as i recall (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1953338&page=117) you need to relock bootloader, put phone in ruu mode, and flash firmware- more than one if necesary! BUT DO SEARCH PLEASE !!
And to boot to your old CM10 you need to flash boot.img from CM10 ROM zip file that you flashed before - not this one for CM10.1

[Q] Reverting to stock ROM

Hi.
I need your help with my DHD.
Few months ago I flashed my DHD for the first time with JellyTime R11. I have some problems with it (GPS not working, random crashes/freezes), so I want to get back to stock rom.
Here is the problem. Every stock ROM (like this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382235) I try to flash (through Clockwork Recovery, of course doing full wipe first) does not work. They just makes my phone stuck at black screen, just after HTC logo.
I even tried using few RUU for my phone, but they always returns error 140, or error 155.
I also tried using AAHK and AAHK2, but those don’t want to work with my sdcard (error: sdcard not mounted, but it clearly is mounted).
Could someone point me to what I should do next?
CID: HTC_032

That’s what I was missing. Works great.
