Hi,
my htc desire is bricked... impossible to boot etc..
when i put battery and i push on power button, in 4 corners exclamation in triangles appear. (image in attachment)
my phone is S-OFF, android 2.1
i tried upgrade with sd card.. and with android sdk tools..but is not working.
Please HELP !!!
thnx.
screen image
please give full details of your phone. What hboot? custom? what RUU?
What did you do before it broke? in what order? then what happened?
i can't see any detail.. I have access only to the fast boot.
never custom firmware.. never s-on
during the upgrade i disconnect the phone.. and i tried really all things.. installing RUU from sdcard , upload RUU with sdk tool etc. etc..
before trying updates the SDK tools i had access to the boot menu (with power + volume down combinations) but now i can not even have that.. only screen with 4 exclamation icon.. and fastboot access with sdk-tools (android 1.0 phone drivers)
since 4 days i try everything... but no result.
this htc really make me sick.
please help me.
thank you advance
Alright then, how did you s-off? What RUU did you use?
You just rooted and kept the same software?
If you disconnected during upgrade you may have bricked it and only HTC can resolve.
When you RUU what failure message do you get?

I am sure if you can get into Hboot / Fastboot all is not lost, just use adb commands to restore functionality to your phone, like reflashing recovery and stuff.

Looks like a radio brick. You never did tell me what RUU you are using.
You cant use fastboot if you are S-ON
I had that to, and i get it running again.
In my case i had flashed the cm7r2 from alpharev before, so i had to use the downgrader first, to install my stock RUU.
After downgrading i startet the RUU.exe from windows, in the first try it stoped with an error.
If this happens you have to do all steps exactly ass the RUU installer says.
In the first try i didnt do that just klicked the steps away and didnt even read what RUU recomends.
But in the second try i did all these steps and i get my phone up running again.
And its important to use the right RUU for your phone otherwise you will get an signature fail
Edit: If your not s-off and you have isues getting into recovery, try to flash revolutionary, will gain you s-off and clockworkmod recovery
http://revolutionary.io/ just follow the steps below

If fastboot works then he should be able to flash an recovery via cmd in windows
and then he could use revolutionary to or am i wrong ?
EDIT: Have you ever installed a different HBoot from alpharev before ??

You need an S-off alpharev SPL to enable fastboot flash command support. He is S-ON so he cannot fastboot flash anything.
Sorry but i think you are wrong this should work

hey guys, need some help:
been flashing radios, roms and spls succesfully in the past year on my htc magic.
recently upgraded to the desire and wanted to start flashing here as well.
i can see the device with adb devices (or fastboot devices), so driver must be installed correctly
but when i fastboot flash recovery (AmonRA) it sends ok but then fails writing with the error "fastboot failed (=remote not allowed)".
the desire has froyo sense stock on it and booting into fastboot gives me this info:

so i have s-off which is good, but why can't i get amonra on the phone?
do i need another hboot? and what about spl?
please someone explain what i'm missing here!
thx,
v.
You could try and use the Android Flasher utility. Makes it easier and I've had no problems with it.
hey, thanx for your answer, and nice prog!
it didn't work though: i booted the phone into fastboot, started the prog and gave it amonra's recovery. it all looked like it worked. the phone also reboots just like it says in the prog. but it still doesn't get the recovery on the phone.
so here's my updated status report, i hope someone can help me out:
i rooted succesfully yesterday (the unrevoked method). the version from their site that you can download now didn't do the trick though, i got the missing CID error that lots of others also get. i searched that problem and found the unrevoked prog in its version 3.2. that one worked. so the phone is rooted and unrevoked also flashed clockwork mod recovery.
i then succesfully flashed a rom (oxygen) and this all works which is nice.
my problem is that i
1.) can't boot into recovery by pressing home + power. i have to fastboot, then choose bootloader, then recovery. this starts clockwork mod.
2.) i can't get amonra to my phone. it won't work via fastboot flash recovery (error mentioned in post #1) or via the program mentioned in post #2.
i'd really like be able to flash recovery and radios via fastboot commands, i'm used to it and i don't like the fact that i get an error when i try this.
what's causing the problem here?
it must also be related to the fact that i couldn't get amonra installed via the program mentioned in post #2.
is it my hboot?
i'm rooted and also s-off.
so what is causing this locked up behavior?
i'd apprecciate any help you can give me,
thx,
v.
Try flashing it from the phone itself.
Place amonra.img in sdcard root directory.
From terminal emulator or over adb type flash_image recovery /sdcard/amonra.img
Then reboot, this can be done from recovery or from android.
already tried that method yesterday (sorry i forgot to mention it).
didn't work either.
i just ran unrevoked again and clicked "custom recovery" and added the amonra recovery. unrevoked ran thru the rooting process and in the end it succesfully flashed amonra. at least i can now use amonra.
but i still can't use any fastboot commands, i always get the "failed (remote: not allowed)" error.
what the hell is going on here?!
greetz,
v.
update:
i flashed a patched hboot from alpharev and this did the trick!
i thought s-off meant i could do all these fastboot commands but i must have been wrong (or some other reason, i don't know).
i downloaded the "PB99IMG_bravo_cm7" zip (because i'm running CM7 at the moment). normally you should flash these via fastboot but as i said this didn't work on my phone so i had to use the alternative method:
"You can also download the corresponding PB99IMG zipfile, put it on your sdcard, and rename it to PB99IMG.zip. Then start the phone in HBOOT mode (VolDown+POWER) to flash the HBOOT without a PC."
now i can finally work with fastboot commands again, no more "failed (remote: not allowed)" errors!
greetz,
v.
Weird. S-Off should allow you to use fastboot commands. Very weird indeed but that's just how it goes sometimes
Okay so I'm trying to downgrade from 2.3.3 so that I can gain a permanent root and I am following this guide on the CM7 wiki.
*I cant post the link here because I don't have 8 posts yet*
*However, google "htc desire z firmware downgrade" and its the second result*
Everything goes swimmingly until I get to the HBOOT tool and tell it to fastboot and flash the image. It finds the image, checks it and comes up with the following error message:
Code:
CID Incorrect!
Update Fail!
Press <POWER> to reboot.
These are my PC specs:
Code:
Windows 7 Retail 32bit
HTC Sync installed
ADB and Android SDK installed and added to PATH
My phone:
Code:
UK HTC Desire Z
Stock Android Firmware 2.3.3
Unbranded
No Simlock
Any ideas or help would be great.
Cheers in advance.
Have a look at flashgc, courtesy of skorgon
It will give you a goldcard, to bypass the CID check.

I got my G2 yesterday and I am having the exact same problem.
Bootloader Shows

Hboot 0.82.0008
I did try to downgrade
I made goldcard
Yes I can still boot into rom
I have tried several times and get stuck at INFOsignature checking... everytime.
It just sits there and I have to pull the battery.
Update: Finally got it to work I had to use a different SD card. My initial card was a 2gb class 2 and the one that worked was a 1gb class 2. Don't know why the second one worked but they were both no name SD cards.
Man, I can't even get the adb drivers to install. The computer fails to recognize my phone.

Hi,
I've brought a desire cheap as a temporary phone while my sensations off being repaired (Smashed screen!) It came with a CM7 ROM installed which i'm not keen on, so i'm attempting to flash the RUU_Brav2_UK_1.20.207.1_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_124865 from the RUU thread on here. However, it gets about 3 minutes in, then on my laptop says "ERROR [110]: FILE OPEN ERROR. The Rom Update Utility cannot open the requested files or the files are damaged.

You have cm7r2 hboot which gives you only 145MB for system partition and RUU requires stock partition table (250MB for system).
Flash alpharev stock hboot via fastboot, it can be obtained here:
alpharev.nl
After that run RUU, it should work perfectly.
Plus:
Reconsider using some other RUU the one you used is history old. Try with 2.3 RUU.

Thanks for that, i'm used to my sensation for flashing ROMs etc, i've just read up on this phone as I didn't realise there is different hboots to make different file tables!
OK, i've tried to use both alpharev and revolutionary, when I downloaded the img file for alpharev I can't get it to load, when I mount it, it just loads a folder with no executables, and revolutionary just sits on waiting for device?

Hi,
Yeah, i've tried installing them but nothing seemed to happen, i've gone in to device manager and changed drivers so instead of "My HTC" it now shows as "Android Bootloader Interface" but it still sits on "Waiting for device." Are there any ROMS that use the CM7 r2 available as a RUU package?
lol i just read the first post, sorry my bad. u r s-off and have CM7r2 hboot. if u dont like CM rom why not just flash another instead of going completely stock and s-on?

1. used Unrevoked 3.21 to ROOT - finished
2. used Revolutionary to S-OFF - finished
However, desire went into bootloop. Finally loaded, worked fine. After restart - same bootloop.
3. Decided I would just restore everything by flashing stock RUU as in video (noob proof guide)
used 2.29.405.14 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27 (same as mine)
Finished installation, but on boot desire gets stuck on white HTC screen.

Revolutionary
Bravo pvt1 S-OFF
Hboot 6.93.1002
Tried the following methods described in bortak's troubleshooting guide:
[1] didn't work - press "Recovery" --> white HTC screen
[2] Method 1 - Android flasher freezes after: "booting, OKAY, finished." --> white HTC screen. Recovery --> white HTC screen.
[2] Method 2 - "fastboot oem gencheckpt"- phone goes to white HTC screen - cmd freezes after "Info hboot time"
Disconnect phone -> "failed (status read failed (too many links)) finished. total time". Recovery --> white HTC screen.
Could you help me, please?
Should I just try to rerun the same RUU on fastboot? Or flash the same ROM with PB99IMG.zip method? Any other actions necessary or any other suggestions?

Code:
I know I just replied differently on my guide, but try this first.
Get cmd out and type some things! You'll need fastboot for this, you can find a zip file which contains all you need on my guide, attached in one of my posts called fastboot.zip. unzip it into c:\
Download a recovery image (.img file), rename it to recovery.img and place it into c:\ boot your phone into fastboot mode (when it's off, hold back and power), and plug it in via USB.
[code]fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot oem gencheckpt
This should flash and boot your new recovery. If it doesn't work then grab the 2.3 RUU from resources on my guide. You don't need a goldcard, or anything. Just the RUU, boot into fastboot, plug in via usb and run RUU.exe
[PROBLEM SOLVED]
Thanks, bortak. The first method didn't work.
Installed 2.3 RUU - finished installation:
windows - "this program might not have installed correctly"
desire - bootloop.
Removed sd card, booted - everything's fine, inserted sd card - everything's fine. Tried rebooting - fine.
The device seems to be running fine.

In my sig, there's an sd-card partitioning guide. In that guide, you will find methods to install 4ext recovery. Try them.
thanks dude, i will try and let you know, :good:

Updated to the latest version, 4ext Recovery Touch v1.0.0.5 RC9
EDIT: No need to rename it now, just download and put on sdcard.
Edited because some people could not get it to work because renaming it was the hardest thing in the world :banghead:
All credits to Madmaxx for this great recovery....
Download PB99IMG.zip and put it on ur sdcard and then with ur phone off hold volume down + power. ur bootloader will look for the PB99IMG then ask u if u want to update recovery, volume up for YES, it will then ask you to reboot device, volume down for NO. Once its finished u now have 4ext recovery and just use volume buttons to navigate to recovery then press power button to enter recovery. I have tried it myself and it works, its the exact same method to install as Alpharev's hboots via PB99IMG.
Dont forget u must be S-OFF lol
Dont forget to delete it off sdcard once ur done or u will get asked to update everytime u enter bootloader

(Also u can extract the PB99IMG.zip file and flash recovery.img via fastboot commands or android flasher)

So none of the methods worked? Not even the PB99img?
Weird.
Try doing it with another sd-card.
Well after about 20+ hours spent looking online and tinkering with my phone I have arrived at this point. I have been trying to install a custom rom with no success. I have rooted and S-OFF my phone with revolutionary. I have installed 4ext recovery. I have been trying to install the cm 10.1 rom and/or the paranoidandroid rom. No success on either one, I always got the status 7 error. After looking online I found that status 7 relates to the wrong HBOOT, so I flashed the the stock HBOOT from alpharev.nl and now my phone's screen won't turn on for any mode(normal boot, hboot, fastboot) it's just a black screen. The phone does "turn on" because my pc can see that it's there and it vibrates. I can also send fastboot commands to the phone.
Does anyone know of this problem and how to fix it? I've tried to flash different HBOOTS and ROMS and Recovery but with no success, it always says "out of memory" or a different error. Also I tired doing SUU but it always says I have the wrong model phone.
I just tried fastboot flash hboot bravo_downgrade.img(from alpharev.nl)
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
then I ran RUU from shipped-roms.com it was the HTC_Desire_Android_2.3_Upgrade.exe
gives me "error 130 model id error"
Anyone?

the downgrader isn't actually an hboot, it's just a way of 'unlocking' an hboot like cm7r2 which can't be overwritten by RUU.
flash the stock hboot again, then run the 2.3.3 RUU.
I repeated the same process as in the previous post except replacing the downgrader with the stock boot and received the error. The RUU starts to work and the progress bar at the top says "sending" but then just stops and gives the error. I am not very knowledgeable about android OS so basically I am out of ideas at this point.

Can you boot into bootloader and confirm what it says on the top line please?
Have you tried the 2.3.3 RUU by PB99IMG.zip method?
Try bortak's troubleshooting guide, step 7, ignore the bit about goldcard for now. You basically need to extract the rom from your RUU, rename it to PB99IMG.zip, and put it on the root of your sd card to run from bootloader.
