HTC Desire is Bricked - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I know there are a lot of other Threads about Bricked Phones but I swear, I've tried everything.
My Phone is S-Off and I had the CM7 Rom on my device.
For a Friend, who wants to buy my phone, I tried the "RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00. 32U_5.11.05.27_release"
and know i got the black htc screen with the 4 exclamation marks in each corner.
My Phone was original from o2 so I tried the o2 Ruu but that didn't work either.
Also My Device is with the SLCD-Screen.
I also have a Goldcard but the Goldcard seems not very helpful to me.
When I try to flash a Rom with Ruu it tells me the Error 110 on the PC and on my phone appears that

Can Somebody help me?
I tried everything for 2 days know but nothing worked.

Jesus Feckin Christ!
I can either answer this like I do every single day of my life, or I can tell you to use search....
Hmmmm. What to do?
Maybe we can play a little game? Yes thats it.
Clue 1. Alpharev / Revolutionary hboots have write protection.......

OMG Thank you so so much for this brilliant idea.
What do you think have I done the last 2 days?
2 Days of writing this post?
I've tried everything which I could FIND by using Search but nothing helped.
When you can help me, thank you.
Please don't waste my time with upolished posts.

I can help you. I know the answer. I post the answer every day. Did clue 1 not help?
Give a man a fish and he can feed himself for a day. Give a man a logical and methodical approach to resolving problems and he can fix his desire for life.
Now play along
I'm sorry for taking it out on you, but this really is asked EVERY day and its so obvious why it doesnt work...

Command back.
Ok, its early in the morning for me so sorry.
I'm not so experienced like you with the whole development-stuff.
When I change something on my device I read something in threads and try it step by step but i don't really understand what I'm doing like most people.
I understand its annoying to answer the same problems so often but i would appreciate it if you could help me one more time.

Aww you're being so nice. I wanted to give you another clue, but ok...
You have the CM7 R2 hboot. This is too small for a sense rom, the /system partition will not accomodate the /system of a sense rom. Which is why you see the [fail]
Because the hboot is write protected, the RUU couldn't over write it with the stock hboot first.
What you need to do is download the downgrade.img from alpharev and fastboot flash it as a hboot.
Then you can simply run the RUU again.

Thank you so much.
one last question. Do i have to put the downgrade.img on my sd card and start normal or how can i flash is a hboot?

follow the red link in my signature for my guides. There is an adb and fastboot faq. Ignore the adb part as its irrelevant.
This will tell you how to use fastboot. Most people tend to go for using the windows application that is linked in there.

One of those déjà vu threads.

Is the bravo_downgrade.img only 512kb small?
i tried it with the android flasher.
When i plug my phone off the usb its shows my device is know s-on (so good for that).
But the Ruu.exe don't work.
Still stuck on the exclamationmark screen.
Now I still got a Goldcard. To use it, do i have to put the goldcard only in my device and run the ruu.exe again or do I have to do something different?
I got the failure 131 in the Ruu Update-Window

Does anybody know what else i can do?

You just put the goldcard in and RUU. Or use the 2.3.3 from the HTCdev.com as it doesn't need a goldcard
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium

How can i use the 2.3.3 from htcdev.com
Should I run the Unlock Bootloader?
What does I have to do?

You have to fastboot flash the downgrade.img and in fastboot still, run RUU
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium

Has Somebody the Link for the right RUU?
I've treid everything i could find but non of them worked.
I bought my desire in Germany with an O2-Contract. Originally is was a froyo rom.

Still hanging on the exclamation mark screen.
After i plug the usb off it shows:
Braveo PVt4 Ship S-On
HBoot-0.93.001
Micro-051d
Touch Panel-Synt0101
Radio-5-11-05-27
Aug 10 2010, 17:52:10
RUU
does this mean the falsh of the downgrad.img didn't work?

Well the fact that you're S-ON would in fact suggest that it has worked (kinda a d'uuh moment there).. tried different RUU? tried 2.3.3 RUU?
all the advice that one can give to you has already been given. put it into practise.

try different RUU to see which fits to your phone

Nevertheless, I totally agree with bortak.

My DHD stuck on htc logo

hi I tried to install IceColdSandwich-1.2.0 Rom on my DHD but after i did it my device stuck on htc logo and never boot the problem is i am new in this stuff and i can't get my device back to life i 'v downloaded the ice cream sandwich using
clock work mode and my Hboot screen shows:

and i don't know what Ruu to install
please help and thx
Your phone isn't rooted. How did you manage to flash recovery onto it in first place?
Search for advanced ace hack kit on xda. Read a LOT about how to use it and once ready, let the kit do its thing. After that you'll be S OFF and able to flash any custom ROM.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD with Beats Audio using XDA App
He unlocked it using the official HTC dev tool. It allows you to flash a custom recovery.
This is an obligatory to the op. Please research before you go and do stuff to your phone. I just don't get how someone will take a risk on there phones.
The reason it didn't boot is because you have to flash the boot image seperately. One simply can't just flash a rom, in cwr and call it a day if you did it using HTC tool.
What you need to do is. Boot back.into hboot select fastboot.
Take the boot image from your rom and place in your folder where fastboot and adb are located.
Then run the command
Fastboot flash boot boot.Img
Fastboot reboot
Its not working

Run a fitting RUU, relock your Bootloader and use AAHK afterwards.
(if you would have taken some time to get into this stuff, you wouldn't be messed up right now "Official HTC Unlock" is not that brilliant compared to AAHK ).
You say you don't know which RUU to use.
Where did you buy your phone? Was/Is it branded?

thx for your help anyway
Try one of those, i think the latest should be fine.
[ROM]Ace Test & Stock ROMS [RE-UPLOADED]

ok i will thank you but do you know error "155" and how to solve it and if Ruu works with s-on or not and thx again
When do you get this 155-error?
If using a fitting RUU, it will always work afaik But I'm pretty sure.

"As far as I know"
Did you try flashing it in fastboot mode?
Get your device into bootloader and choose fastboot. Try to run the RUU again.

i did but its always error 155 comes up i don't know what to do but i really need my DHD back
Ok, another idea:
You have that stock RUU fitting your phone?
Open explorer here: C:\Users\"YOUR USERNAME"\Appdata\Local\Temp\
Then Run the RUU, it will extract the files to some folder in here, you will see it pop up when opening the RUU (or you run it and simply use search).
Inside there'll be a "rom.zip".

}
Rename it to PD98IMG.zip, push it to your SD card (in root, not into a folder) and boot your phone into bootloader.
It should check the file and then you have to select "yes" to flash it. Should be fine after it.
DN41
thx I tried to do this before but it keeps tell wrong Image
So you're a hundred percent sure, that you've got a fitting image? Cant believe that it would block a fitting image that method.
Which version did you try? Most recent one?
And BTW: would be great it you would tell before what you already tried instead of letting me explain it and then say "oh i already did that"
DN41
EDIT: I guess it doesnt take the Rom because of the high hboot version (yours is somewhere around 2, "normal" ones around 0.84). Maybe it would be the best to contact HTC's Support regarding that you used their official unlock instead of AAHK.

[Q] How to Unroot my HTC Desire HD?

Hey,
is it possible to unroot my device, to reverse when I had nothing root(stock settings). Sorry for my bad English.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App on ICS 1.4.0
Why do you wanna go back to stock?
For warranty?
How did you root/hack your device? I guess AAHK? You can use that to get back to stock as well.
Otherwise get a fitting RUU for your device and run it.

Yes, for warranty (If my device have an problem).
I root it with AAHK.
Is this really safe and stock or are they files on the device with an root info?
It's safe and there are no traces left.
But trust me You could give your phone back to warranty with all those stuff installed
Had once an issue with my HD2, the guy at the story did not even know how to get into bootloader...he just said: okay, its defective, get your DHD and you'll be fine

Sometimes the store sent devices to the service and than they check these things in the bootloader.
That's why i'm asking.
Sure, its always good to get it back to stock

Is there a stockrom as a zipfile instead of a RUU?
I'd like to revert via SDcard.
(because of an USBbrick / hardwarefailure)
Download the RUU.exe, open it via WinZip or something similar and get the rom.zip out of it.
(Or simply run it till it shows the manual, then get into your temp folder and you'll find the rom.zip there).
Rename it to PD98IMG.zip, push it to the root of your SD and your good to go
DN41
Hi. Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunatly it didn't help me very well yet.
Winzip doesn't seem to be able to open my downloaded RUU files. (neither does winrar)
And if i just execute the exe file i don't see any option to copy it to a temporary folder.
Ok, so do this:
Open explorer here: C:\Users\"YOUR USERNAME"\Appdata\Local\Temp\
Then Run the RUU, it will extract the files to some folder in here, you will see it pop up when opening the RUU (or you run it and simply use search).

download a rom from here http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Ace
Depends on witch rom you had from the start ,the first 6 are WWE.
This will revert your DHD to stock .
LE:do what DN41 said, i didn't read that you want to unroot from SD !
Thank you very much DN41. (and mitzap) It worked.
When i decide to return my phone for repair i shall unroot it with this (renamed) rom.
First i'm going to look futher for some kind of softwarefix for my usb problem.
You're welcome
DN41
I have been reading on here quite a bit to work out how to unroot the DHD. I realise that running the correct RUU is likely to be the way to go... what about S-Off? As far as I have read, running the RUU does not put your phone back to S-On.
Please could you let me know if this is the right order to do things in:
Downgrade to 1.32 (by running the 1.32 WWE ruu) - Would it be possible to run 1.32 WWE ruu regardless of what my CID currently is? Also, would this give me WWE/unbranded CID?
Temp root with visionary.
Use the S-Off tool to get to S-On. If wanting to return to carrier branded, then you would also be able to change the CID to whichever Carrier ID wanted.
Install RUU of choice, be that branded or non-branded.
I think that's it... if someone could confirm if I've got this right or let me know if I've gone for overkill?
Cheers!!

S-ON
If you're S-ON it eliminates the possibility of you having a custom bootloader, and the only possibility now is that the RUU was corrupted or you used the wrong RUU for your device. Therefore, for this process you need a goldcard.
[STEP1]- Create the goldcard from the tutorial
[STEP1]- Use the WWE RUU

what should i do?
EITHER
#If you have your phone on contract with a carrier e.g. You got the phone from Vodafone, then go to shipped-roms.com and download the RUU for your carrier.
OR
If you bought the phone unbranded from a store e.g. Amazon.com, then just flash the WWE RUU.
OR
If you're lazy and have balls of steel, go to my guide and download the 2.3 RUU (Find it in resources) and run that.
THEN
Turn the phone on, plug it in via USB to your computer, find the RUU.exe you downloaded, run it on your computer, wait. Do not for christ sakes unplug it when it's updating or you'll brick your phone.

Yeah I realized that, but acording to the information the problem depends on the mobo which must be PVT1, and i have PVT3 so maybe the problem should not be as bad as is in PVT1.
Am I wrong?
PVT1 was bad with mobo... I did not see many problems with pvt3, let it settle and test it for a couple days then you will see... You can try stability test app from market to stress phone out

Stability test... is running your phone to max. load to test if everything working fine... if you got overheating issue etc... Best thing will be underclock and undervolt to reduce heat produced by mobo and cpu/gpu

yep, what network were you on, was yours a branded handset or unbranded, can you run fastboot commands from your pc on the phone, try running fastboot oem getvar cid
that will tell you what brand your one x is and help you flash the right RUU
My Sensation had the same thing happen to it when i first relocked the bootloader, i almost cried because it wouldn't boot, but thankfully i fixed it by flashing the RUU. you learn from your mistakes :good:

My Sensation had the same thing happen to it when i first relocked the bootloader, i almost cried because it wouldn't boot, but thankfully i fixed it by flashing the RUU. you learn from your mistakes :good:

Thanks for the helpful info mate. Yes I am pulling my hair out thinking my phone is bricked!
I am on UK Tmobile, it was branded (tmob splash screen). I am downloading the RUU: RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_TMO_UK_1.28.110.7_R2_Radio_1.1204.103.14_release_256500_signed.exe
I assume this one will work. I am using a mac but have a PC to use the exe file. Download speed is at 50kb/s though

brilliant, that should work then, definitely run it on PC not mac
its not exactly bricked, its just that you relocked the bootloader, so in simple terms the security warning is there because the phone is now locked, it checks the whole phone when it boots, and its recognizing something isn't stock, so goes into bootloader with a warning. Flashing RUU returns everything to stock so that should in wipe off whatever is causing the security warning.
Post back how it goes and good luck !

htc m8s stock in bootloader, no ruu mode, no twrp possible, os 1.21.111.1

hello to all friends of XDA.
im not new but i lost my old email. :silly:
i have a htc one m8s thats stuck in bootloader with os version 1.21.111.1 from T-mobile DE.
the problem is that i try to flash the unlock token, flashing the file, i select accept on the screen phone but when the phone restarts the booloader is still locked.
i try to flash a stock recovery (not the same as the os version, because i didnt find it) but it still doesnt work.
i try ti find the last ruu or stock rom version 1.21.111.1 or even the firmware but i didnt find it.
however when i try to boot to RUU mode it doesnt reboot in RUU mode.
i try every steep with the new htc_fastboot. but i dont use the md5 verification or any md5 file (because i dont know how)
i would like to have the phone working even with Lineage os or something like.
please if someone can help me please let me know the steeps.
best regards to all and thanks in advance

Htc one m8s is not the same as m8 you cant apply this version of twrp , just dl and flash it in the thread below, and then flash supersu and you will get root and twrp

Did you get the phone in a locked, or unlocked state?
If locked, did you use Sunshine or a HTC unlock (the former option costs $$ and I would't recommend fabricated keys as they can break the device).
T-Mobile DE - a german version of the phone, or US version with German settings?
To reboot in RUU, you'll need to do so through ADB, while connected to a computer.
In order to run RUU, you actually have to re-lock the bootloader if it's unlocked. You also need to disable SuperCID, if it is enabled.
Do you have any more details? I was going to suggest a website that @graffixnyc used to keep updates on, but I don't see the list of files there anymore.
I bought mine three years ago and I feel bad that your outcome is like this.
