[Q] HELP! Desire refuses to work after update

Ok, I think I need some help here.
I have a german (GSM?) HTC Desire, running Froyo 2.2.
Some days ago I flashed unrevoked3 and had root s-off.
I wanted it to use adFree (no success) and screenshots.
So today an update was provided and without further thinking I chose to apply it.
Now all my desire does is starting - restarting - starting - restarting...
Pushing Vol. down and pressing startbutton brings me to the HBOOT screen, recovery gives me a black screen with a phone icon and a warning sign in red.
clear storage does not affect anything. I am trapped.

If you wanna help me, try explaining what to do for noobs as I am one.
Step by step, easy to understand. My mother language is german.
=( help?

ok, if you didnt already know, you should never apply an OTA update to a rooted phone.
what rom was on your phone originally? was it branded to a provider?
please give as much information as possible as it is likely that you will need to run the RUU to get it back to stock.

The phone was bought at a 0² shop in germany. Running a stock rom. No branding (soft/hardware).

ok, you could try running this RUU...
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.exe
this will wipe your phone, unroot, s-on but will not touch your sdcard.
put you phone into fastboot (power on and back key)
connect to PC - FASTBOOT USB should show on your phone
Run the RUU youve downloaded
if you need to, you will have to root / S-OFF again after this has completed.
EDIT-- make sure you run it as administrator if not using XP. And turn off any antivirus etc...

Better link for the RUU:

Really big thanks for the fast reply. I will try this. Downloading the stock rom with 17KB/s... having a 16000DSL connection... oh boy. I will have a nap now.

Wow. Big thx. Downloading with 1,5MB/s now.

The RUU flash stops after a while giving me an error saying something with user ID. I guess this happens because it´s not an 0² rom. HTC has special roms for 0² germany. (I had a HTC Leo, same here. I had to download a special 0² stock rom to get back to total factory settings.)
I hope there is Desire stock 0² rom somewhere...

Don't think there was an o2 DE RUU available, got a link for the o2 UK one?
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_144166_signed.exe
No MultiUpload this time, sorry

Well, I tried 4 or 5 different WWE and Europe ROMs now. Everytime the same: ERROR # xxx USER ID bla bla. The flash is cancelled then...

Nothing works. Hours of research...

That's because you need a gold card, without one you're screwed

Nope.
I solved it.
I downloaded OTA_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8-1.21.405.2 (3085)
(Froyo OTA manual update) renamed it to update.zip and put it on my sd. Then I booted to the bootloader, switched to recovery (I figured out how to get to the blue recovery menu) and then I installed the update.zip. It aborted suddenly, but somehow android boots normally again. Seems like it works fine. Testing now.

Ok, the system did run buggy. I downloaded this at the o² Germany website, installed it on my desire and now everything works like a charm again.

Help reverting to stock rom

First off I've browsed the forums and cannot find an answer to my question. I know there are similar posts but not entirely answering my question.
Originally my HTC desire was running on official firmware on orange UK. Then I decided to root. I installed LeeDroid and then recently switched to MIUI. All I want to know is if I can revert back to how it originally was when I first got the phone. I cannot find anywhere an orange UK ruu. Is there a different one I can safely use and how do I do it?
All I want is all the rooting stuff removed not necessarily meaning I want all of the orange branding and everything back how it was
I want to know this because soon I am selling my phone and want it to be pretty much how it should be.
I am getting the phone unlocked to work on any network as the recipient of the phone is using a different network hence me not being bothered about the orange branding
Any help would be absolutely brill.
Thanks in advance

Well If you want the Orange Branded stuff back, then you need an Orange Official RUU. But I can't help you where to find it.

The HTCdev.com 2.3.3 RUU still comes with warranty so flash that to unroot. There are no Orange RUU's

Do i just flash as i would a custom rom hence going into recovery and 'install zip from SD card'? Is it really that simple? Does that completely make it like it was never rooted?

No its an .exe you run from windows. Connectng the phone via USB. If you are not s-off with a hboot version of 6.x, it re-writes everything. if you HAVE got the custom hboot, you need to flash the alpharev downgare.img hboot first.

Thank you, I will try this in the afternoon, if I fail be expecting to hear back from me cheers again mate

However, when I try to enter recovery, I get a black screen with a picture of a phone with a red cross over it.
I am trying to revert to the stock bootloader to cure the recovery problem as I have already tried re-flashing CM7 but still get the same problem.
I tried to flash downgrade.img followed by the stock.img using Android Flasher but I can't get it to work.
Any suggestions?

You just need to fastboot flash the recovery.img
Have a read of my adb and fastboot faq in my signature. You dont need to read the adb stuff as it is not relevant

Awesome!
Android Flasher kept becoming non-responsive so I followed your instructions to flash via CMD. Now got CWM installed and working

cool. I prefer command line over the GUI myself anyway. Its more resiliant / less to go wrong.

To get rid of root simply install the latest, official RUU which can be found in the Dev Forums

I'm dead confused. If i'm honest I don't really understand what you have told me to do. ATM my Desire is running the MIUI rom (Latest version).

As stated before all I want to do is remove the 'rooted' stuff and put an offical version of android on (preferably the latest version - if not, doesn't matter) I really don't understand the steps to undertake to enable this to happen?
I tried downloading and installing 'HTC_Desire_Android_2.3_Upgrade' from the website you gave to me but had no success. the program just keeps saying connection error. I've tried everything but can only get the phone to connect to my PC in data storage mode?? seems to be a common problem with the MIUI rom.
If somebody could please help me step by step I will be so grateful. Getting kinda desperate now. Cheers

Have you tried this method?
This is a pretty good step-by-step guide to installing the HTC standard 2.3.3 Click me.
You can download the RUU for this here: Click me. It is the download at the top of the page.
Simply put your phone into fastboot (power on whilst holding the "back" button), plug your phone in, run the RUU programme and done!
Hope that helps.

That could only happen with S-ON?
How can I fix my movile with these characteristics ? The FactoryReset and the Recovery freeze the mobile also .....
Thanks !!!!

If that tool is intending to use fastboot, then it won't work.
ENG = fastboot will work
SHIP = fastboot will not work (instead you have to use the PC10IMG.zip method)
S-ON = cannot flash new radio (or a number of other things involving new radio, recovery etc).
S-OFF = can.
As kind of a non-specific way of putting it.

That depends on what you're attempting to do.
You might want to explain what exactly is your goal, before you accidentally break something, especially since you mentioned shipped roms (which includes hboots, radios, etc and are stock [re-locking, non-rootable]).

I want to fix my handy somehow (doesn't matter if I lost everything of the SD card) installing or fixing the actual "System", but I dont know how

Do you have a custom recovery on it (clockworkmod, 4EXT)?
Did you try going into recovery and doing a factory-reset/wipe and then restoring a backup?
Going with a shipped/RUU rom without knowing exactly what the problem is could make the situation more ... permanent. Especially if you're already exploited/rooted and all you need is a fresh rom install via recovery.

I dont have a custom recovery on it.
I tried factory-reset (freeze) and recovery (black screen and then 6 or 7 vibrations)
Im not sure if the mobile was with a custom RUU or something modificated from the old user (S-OFF is a little strange :S)

Damn, i have the exact same problem. After doing recovery, phone vibrates and dont respond anymore to the volume down+power button. and it just freezes at the choice of Factory reset. If anybody has an idea how to solve this, please share it.

I have the very same problem After updating some apps through the market app, my phone started freesing and after a few tries of removing the battery it got stuck in the logo screen. I haven't tried to root it or anything at all, it's completely stock rom-wise and as far as I'm conserned it will stay that way. I can move arround in the menu when pressing down volume key and power key combo, but when I try to resstore, it just vibrates 7 times after it goes into the black screen with the green arrows, and if I try to hard reset it, it just freeses and I have to remove the battery again...
I really am hoping for someone who can help to answer this post.

Thanks for the quick reply .

I've downloaded RUU_Vision_Gingerbread_S_hTC_Asia_TW_2.42.709.10_Radio_12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M_release_201045_signed, and when I put the phone by holding down the volume + power keys and select fastboot the RUU detecs my phone and i can start the update. But when the update starts it just sits there saying Rebooting into Bootloader ........... and that's it, nothing ealse happens. Any ideas? I will be forever grateful!

[Q] HTC Wildfire S (marvelc) - Bricked need a little assistance

Ok so I believe I bricked my phone. Currently all it does is boot to the HTC quietly brilliant screen, blink, then HTC quietly brilliant over and over forever. I am able to enter the Hboot no problem, but Recovery and Factory Reset don't help the problem.
Just so you know what I've done:
1) Started with the intention of rooting: Which now seems impossible due to me updating to the 2012 system update released before I realized it makes all the rooting instruction impossible to do.
2) I was able to UNLOCK the Hboot but the program that you normally run before hand would not work, so I did it all manually and successfully.
Current Hboot info is:

Apr 17 2012, 18:21:30 - I'm assuming this is the line that ruined rooting for me.
3) Tried and read every single program/walkthrough out there nothing works at all.
4) Today I tried using Hasoon2000's HTC Wildfire All in one kit.
5) Attempted to flash the recovery - thought it worked
6) As I knew about the system update mentioned above Apr17, 2012 I attempted to Flash the kernal with the boot rom inside the "RUU_Marvel_Virgin_Mobile_1.37.351.1_Radio_47.10.3 5.3029H_7.46.35.08_release_188032_signed". It went through and said everything worked perfectly. Upon restarting my phone is now stuck on the perpetual loop mentioned above and useless.
7) Booting into Hboot and attempting Flash does nothing as everything is still blocked it seems by that damm patch. Rooting using this program did not work either. I attempted to root from the Hboot USB promt (it was my only choice after the Brick)
Any assistance or ideas or leads really anything would be nice. I hope I supplied enough details.

At what point of "rooting" were you at.. and which method were you using to "root"
the 2012 update made no difference to my NON marvel C handset when rooting via the official HTCdev method.
I'm not sure what you did... clockwork mod recovery installed?
I have abused my HTC & in the last 2 weeks has had about 10 diff rooms on it... I'm finding it hard to brick.. only soft brick

I've been abusing it as well, this is the first time I've run into issue, but then again this is the first time I used this program and tried to see if I could roll back that system update with the KERNEL flash. That's the point at which all hell broke loose.

So I'm unable to connect with my Wifi or The Phones network. Any ideas from here?

Sounds like a boot lopped have you tried flashing any roms?

LOL hey sorry my phone died and I was at work all last night.
You say its just in a perpetual boot loop... I had this with a "dodgy rom" install when I first started messing around. I managed to fix the issue with a complete wipe of SD card - formatted in the PC - then dalvic cach, cache etc... some "paid for" versions of App2sd etc that are patched or cracked also give loads of probs.
Stupic question, have you formatted / cleaned all aspects of mem card and phone acsessable files using the HBOOT.
When mine did it I just installed a fresh rom (cyanogen mod 10.1) and it worked again. without the reovery / install from SD isnt there I'm stumped.... noobie strikes... sorry
I'll have a read though... see what I can come up with.
I see from the Kernal You tried was for a MARVEL not MARVELC.... im sure the two should never be mixed up or bricking will happen
i'll get back to you later if i find anything out mate.

From reading the tread properly, it seems a flash of the MARVEL Kernal onto a MARVELC phone is where the propblem lies.. Im pretty sure you should never mix the two... I could be wrong though - my wife tells me I often am! lol
good luck Drakons:good:

your best bet at this point is to flash a custom rom that is already rooted. you have the custom recovery already installed so just flash the rom. (whichever you like) for future reference the marvelc can be s-offed by placing the pj76diag.nbh onto the sdcard and booting to bootloader, allowing it to run and then selecting clean s58 data. once you have s-off you can supercid and then run any ruu that you want, should you ever get stuck in situations like this. where as the htcdev unlock blocks the use of ruu`s and pj76img.zips from bootloader

[Q] Attempting to flash shipped ROM onto a Desire Z (Vodafone NL)

I need an Obi-wan here. I'm a noob -- though I've gotten a solid four day education
hacking at this problem.
My wife's Android Desire Z - Stock ROM, S-ON, got stuck looping with a failed
android.process.acore message and after trying a cache clear that didn't help
I set out to factory reset it. Figured the nuclear option would be dead simple. Nope.
Factory Reset from the Hboot menu simply froze the phone
at the HTC menu for an hour. Not good.
From there dozens of resets and reboots and fastboots would sometimes successfully boot
to my wife's setup (so nothing was reset at all), only to get stuck in the acore loop again.
I was once quick enough to put it into
airplane mode and that stopped the error message loops. YAY! I could try a reset
via software! But when I attempted
Settings > SD & phone storage > Factory data reset it rebooted to HTC screen, Vodafone
screen, HTC screen, vodafone screen. ANOTHER loop.
OK, next try was to flash the ROM with an original shipped version.
Couple forums in Dutch said the shipped ROM for the Vodafone Desire z in NL was Bravo/Froyo World Wide English
so I located this file:
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_
signed.exe
and attempted reset by running that on a pc.
But the USB connection failed after the unit reset: Error 171, Error 170.
Tried installing HTC Sync AND the Universal boot drivers
and the Android Booloader Driver, as per the helpful advice from Bob Denny at Phandroid. (As a noob, I can't post links here, sorry)
And yep, I disabled anti-virus, had a fully charged phone (I'm hoping you get
the picture here -- I've done my due dilligence and googling before asking for help.) but
nada. RUU rebooted the phone, waited for the bootoader, and either the phone never pings the USB
port to say it's there or the PC doesn't see it.
FINE. I can put a PC10IMG.ZIP on the SD card and dispense with the frustration of messing with windows, right? Well, no.
I extracted ROM.ZIP from the RUU renamed it PC10IMG.ZIP and slapped it in the root
directory of the SD card. I booted to Hboot with the volume down and power buttons, chose
Fastboot and watched the the Zip load (blue verticle progress bar upper right of screen),
check it (brown progress bar upper right), then NOTHING -- back to the Hboot menu.
No error message, and no invitation to
update. Reboot takes me back to screen loop. Normal power-on does the same.
Further searches make me question if this is the right shipped ROM.
The RUU reports that I'm running version 2.42.161.22
(of what? Vision Gingerbread?) and the Bravo/Froyo WWE Rom reported itself to be version 1.59 something.
As this is an S-ON phone, I know I can't roll back to earlier ROMS, and can only install
the exact version as shipped.
So the questions I THINK I need answered:
1. Does anyone know for certain, or know where I can find out, which ROM
shipped with the Vodafone NL Desire-Z in 2010? I can get Kernel source for it at the HTCDev site,
but I see no compiled ROM there -- anything I can do with kernel source?
2. Anyone know where can I get the right PC10IMG.ZIP file to flash the unit from the SD Card? (I tried Shipped-Roms.com and
dozens of google permutations)
3. Is my methodology for flashing the SD Card right or is there anything in the
description above that lends anyone to believe my problem or solution is anything
other than the one I'm obsessing over?
Any help deeply appreciated.

Try again with the PC10IMG.zip, this time don't extract the rom image, flash the entire zip. If this doesn't work you may need to make a goldcard. This means you will need to boot the phone and get into setting to turn debugging on and will will also need to get the proper window drivers up and running in order to use adb. (Try holding the s key on the key pad while powering on, this may keep the bootloop away)

Yeah, sorry wasn't clear I extracted the zip from the RUU, not the rom itself, so I've tried this one already.
Safe boot doesn't boot -- gets me the HTC screen and freezes there. I'll keep trying, as I think gettting debugging on and going gold card may be my only hope if the problem isn't incorrect ROM (or if there's no finding the correct one).

Here's a simpler question: If in my hboot screen I see
VISION PVT SHIP S-ON
Does that mean the shipped ROM was vision gingerbread and that's the only one to try,
or could my wife's "system updates" upgraded the phone from a Bravo shipped ROM?
And when I get a CID Incorrect error on a Vision Gingerbread ROM, does that mean the WWE Vision Gingerbread ROM I tried to install isn't good because it's not Vodafone, or because it's not the shipped ROM?
Any help will be thankfully appreciated!

Sorry it took so long to get back,
ship s-on is referring to you have a shipped bootloader and your security flags are on, that line is not specific to any version of the desire z
You won't be able to flash any ROM like that unless it is an upgrade from current version. I believe if you go to HTC website the latest ruu was not released as an ota and may work for you as its probably newer. If it doesn't work then you will need to get super cid in order to flash something older, which means you need to get adb working
