I have S off, clockwork mod installed and can flash rom, but my desire hd doesn't boot beyond Htc boot screen.I also tried to go back original rom 1.32 and 1.72 but RUU gives error that I need to get a new Update utility.
Also tried from fastboot, I get "not allow" and I wonder why when S is off
Pls advice how can I revive my Desire HD
Thanks in advance
In your bootloader you can see if you have s-off. Anyway you better post this topic in q&a because the mods remove this without warning!
Probably you have radio s-off but not hboot s-off which would be why your fastboot gets denied.

Someone Swyped my idea.
im having the same problem i updated my phone and all was well ran for a week or 2 then last night i desided to try a modded rom so i backed up my stuff everything seemed to work well but now wont boot passed htc screen so i tryed to install my backup the same im pulling my hair out at the mo trying to work out whats gone wrong if i find any thing i will let u know but i thing ive killed my htc hd
same as you but after a reboot and restart restore and restore and patience everything is ok.
wait 2 minutes while the HTC screen start (HTC green)
Thanks ..but what to restore ?
If you're using any 3 series clockwork recovery that will prevent boot on a 2.2 based rom. Flash a 2 series clockwork and you should be ok. Tonnes of people are having this issue.

Hello,
I've a Desire were Cyanogen 7 is installed - as I need to return the phone I need to restore the Stock-ROM.
Have downloaded RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe but when I try to install the phone stuck during the 1st reboot (HTC logo on black background appears) and then the RUU aborts (waiting for bootloader.....then error 171).
What have I missed?
Thanks for your help!
Is that the RUU that your phone came with?
No, downloaded from a link here at the forum - got the wrong one?
The thing u have to do is first install htc sync, then connect ur phobe to the pc, when ur phone reboot by installation ur internet should be turned off. Its the driver that creates problem. Works for me perfectly..

I had problems installing from RUUs, I used a zip file. Look in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10417988#post10417988
I got the same problem.
Need to return to stock but for me it won't even recognize the Phone when i plug it in. Which is strange because i can access the files through windows and all, but it says it's not connected in the RUU. :S
I think my "problem" ist ClockWork - it seems that the phone don't get into the bootloader (??) required to flash.
If I disconnect the usb while the HTC logo is shown it switchs to the loader and I can see a line RRU (normaly there are the four lines)
The first part seem to work (check phone, initiate reboot, ....)
SOLVED:
Just killed the RUU while the device showed the HTC logo and restarted the RUU.
Then the update recogniced the bootloader and installed the stock ROM.
what do u mean by killing the RUU?
*g* Windows TaskManager & killed Process
or you colud just run the ruu from fastboot lol its much easier and less likely to brick ur phone than force closing the ruu in the process of searching for the fone
oh....hmmm....
Good point - tried a lot but never tried that....damn
1st you have to flash the ...bootlloader for stock romss ...the same way u did before installing .cm7
u can find it here
alpharev.nl
flash alpharev for stock rom..... and then do a full wipe and install the rom through recovery
u cannot install stock froyo over alpharev cm7
boot.
Yes you can as the RUU replaces the AlphaRev HBOOT with the stock one. I've done it with no issues
My DHD is stuck on HTC logo. Happened after trying to flash leedroid from cyanogenmod 7. previous flashes were successful. Now when i turn it on, the only thing it can do is show htc logo screen.
- The screen wont turn off
- None of the buttons do anything when pressed (including power off)
- Cannot go to recovery, bootloader or use fastboot
- Cannot access SDCard when plugged in the phone to my laptop (recognises a device connected though!)
Going to send it back to the network provider for fixing but i'm sure it is not covered warranty.
Please help me with things I can try to somehow get it anywhere besides the blank htc screen (white background with green htc).....
Much appreciated
With the USB connected there should be a split second where you can type adb reboot recovery to get back into recovery...
You could also try removing the battery and then replacing the battery while to have your finger on the vol- key. That might get you into the boot loader...
yea, like the 'Drew442' said, take the battery out, hold vol down and press power for 1-2 secs. That will take u to bootloader. Select Recovery and that'll take you to CWM Recovery. Then you can restore a nandroid, or flash a new ROM.
I've done this ALOT, once i did it approx 10-15 times in one day (lots of experimenting )!!! dont worry,

similar issue - but can't get to cwm
Hi,
I have a similar issue produced by similar circumstances. Mine was during switch from regular ext3 ROMs to an ext-4 CM7 based ROM. To be precise, it was during my attempted flash of an ext-4 friendly version of CWM 3.0.2.8
Now I can get to HBOOT menu by pulling the battery and booting with volume "-" , but when I select "recovery" I can NOT get to CWM recovery very worried. selecting recovery sends me to the white screen with the green HTC logo indefinitely, until battery pull.
What can I do? I have years of *nix use, but this is my first Android smartphone (well i had an HD2 for a couple weeks, and LOVED android so bought the inspire / desire hd) and I've had no problems following tutorials, and experimenting. But I am new, so maybe I'm not trying something that's obvious to all ofyou
is there ANY way to manually flash a bootable ROM to my phone? or force install CWM?
I need help.. so sad.. no phone at all now, as I got rid of my iphone 4 after loving this phone so much!
You can flash a cwm 3...... Recovery from Fastboot then load cm7 rom. As long as you can access the bootloader you're ok, the phone isn't bricked. Download a cwm recovery 3 series and put the .img file in the tools folder of your sdk then turn the phone on in fastboot bootloader mode then open a command prompt on your pc. Navigate to your tools folder then type...... fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
Then fastboot reboot-bootloader
That ought to do it.

Well, if you have ENG S-OFF, then you can flash CWM recovery manually .. LINK
IF you dont have ENG S-OFF, or if it fails again, then i suggest trying to put the official 1.32 FW ROM - LINK
flashing 1.32 would be more productive in that case that flashing CWM fails, since its easily rootable (Visionary+)
thanks! will try~
@CodeNameUnknown1 - i do have s-off, but I tried running "install-recovery-windows.bat" with cwm 3.2.0.0, to no avail.
For the brief moment the batch file is running, the terminal window says something about not being able to write the file. It is so fast I can't read it properly.
@pwraggcan - I will give the sdk method a shot. didn't know about it, since I used a "one-click" method initially to root my device and proceeded with rom manager from inside...
thanks! I hope it works!!
Google search for guidance on installing sdk or search within the xda forum. There will be plenty of guides.

hey guys.
in the end i loaded stock rom (1.32) and went from there. worked perfectly.
was trying to do the sdk method (seemed similar to how I rooted my asus transformer - abd etc..) but I keep getting a missing dll error. followed all kinds of guides on rectifying it, but no dice.
anyway, stock rom was faster fix in the end.. lol.
thanks again!!!
Glad it worked for you. I actually prepared a zip file to upload for you with the necessary drivers and files if you needed it but hey.... you're sorted now, so all good.

i got a problem here..
my friend recently update his unroot phone to GB with OTA update.. but after the update finished,his phone restarted and got into infinite bootloop..
in this thread,someone said that it can be solved by using stock pd98img.zip
can anyone help me how to do it? because the OP at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003 said to use the visionary+ first.. but the problem is his phone can't past the bootloop. is there any solution to manually install the stock 1.32 ROM?
thanks
Follow the downgrade guide in the development section. That will sort you out. Make a gold card then flash the pd98img.zip. That will reinstall the stock rom.

why i must make a goldcard first? my friend's phone isn't a branded one..
and what about the version number? does it matter?

Just flash a version which match yr country version or a wwe will do too. Mine also isnt a branded phone, but i also have to do a goldcard too, kinda weird, lol...

I think that missing dll is located in the platform-tools folder and you could copy it to the tools folder (at least in my case with a similar error). Or you could use adb from the platform-tools folder. Works for me.

I have tried like you describe holding the volume down but nothing happens. I have earlier had problems with the volume down in bootloader, but it has worked in htc sense. you know what the volume down problem is about? how it could be fixed?
I've tried to root my phone, it didn't work, so I want to go back to my 2.2 stock, can anyone describe a quite detailed guide for me? I'd love you forever. =D

explain a bit more what is with your phone,what you did in what state is,rooted or not s-off or not and so on
If you tried rooting your phone through alpharevX but were unable to (that is your phone is not rooted) and now when you try to turn it on it goes into a sort of blocked state showing a phone with a triangle next to it or you want for whatever reason to get your phone back to 'brand new' state (factory settings)..... (beware this will only work if you haven't flashed your phone with some other ROM) all you need to do is turn it back off, then push the volume-down button and the power button (volume button first, then keeping the first still pushed the other)... now go to clear storage (use volume buttons up and down to navigate and the power button to confirm) so push the power button then the volume up button that's it....
Mind you if you have an PC49IMG.zip file on your sd card you are gonna have to delete it before doing this.
Thanks for the replies, but I've managed to instal Cyanogenmod so I don't longer need to go back to FroYo. =)

Lol, own.
Any idea if floating around there is a base ROM for the HTC Wildfire so as to restore to its out-of-box system ROM.
Ideally something I can use from ROM Manager.
I'm asking because twice I've used the stock RUU restore prog and it has un-rooted my HTC Wildfire

Check Safe Flash RUU's in Point 5 of 1st post of this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1029318
They are untouched stock ROM's, offered as a flashable ZIP.
Problem
I have nearly the exact same situation, except my phone(when turned on) gets stuck at the boot screen(telstra next g) i think i will use the stock 2.2 RUU to get back to the stock un-rooted ROM
I gained S-OFF with alpharevX beta and used gingerbreak to get root. I tried to get into clockwork mod, after using root toolbox to install it, to install cyanogen mod 7 but it would not load. HTC Wildfire, 2.2.1 Froyo,
Did you perform a full wipe before flashing the Cyanogenmod ROM file? Not doing so leads to bootloops, as you have described.
I did not even get to flash cyanogen mod. I cannot get into recovery. I chOose recovery but it goes to fast boot please help
I tried to use the stock RUU for 2.2 but it would not find my device, i tried twice. Once while it was stuck at the boot logo and the second time at the fastboot menu. Please help! I tried a clear data (htc wildfires take on hard reset) and it is still just stuck on the logo
i found a fix! i went into fasboot and ran the RUU on another computer with HTC Sync installed and it worked perfectly! i have now got clockworkmod installed and working excellent!
Hello All,
(this may of been asked before, but I havent found it yet)
I have a UK HTC Desire Z (Simfree). Until around 3 days ago, I didnt want to root it and mess around with custom roms. When I finally decided that il just flash a rom to it (as ive now got a shiny new Galaxy S 2), i was faced with a maze. and three-quarters.
I had it updated with the OTA update when it came out, and found out that its impossible to root that, so i downgraded to froyo using a thread in xda developers and the stock rom -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912
After doing that, I set about rooting the device with VISIONary. All went fine.
When I wanted to put ClockworkMod recovery onto the device, thats where im completley baffled.
I got the program 'ROM Manager' off Android Market, and then flashed the recovery thingy onto the device. yesterday night when I was doing this, i was getting a phone and a red triangle with a ! and didnt know what to do. Then i found a menu (Think it was called 'Android Recovery' or the like) and didnt know what to do. So, I reflashed the stock froyo rom (mentioned before) and started again.
When I rooted this time, I used a guide on Cyanogen Mod - http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Desire_Z:_Rooting and it all went sucessfully. MD5's matched and everything.
I installed Clockwork Mod (Using ROM Manager), but when i try to boot into the Clockworkmod recovery thing, I get that red triangle and ! thingy mentioned before.
After I reflashed stock froyo AGAIN, i got the clockworkmod menu, BUT when i selected anything and pressed the power button, it just took me to a screen with the ROM Manager logo and thats it. Nothing else happend.
I also tried flashing a rom by selecting it in the ROM Manager App, it basicilly rebooted the phone, and reinstalled Stock Froyo all over again.
Can someone PLEASE Help me, Im pretty much clueless now. All I know is the phone is 'S-OFF'. Any help would be great!
Thanks in advance, Aman.

When you press the power button in cwm, it takes you back and since there is nothing to go back to, it just takes you to the cwm logo screen. Just push the trackpad to get back.
