Hi all,
Im having a little trouble with my dhd. It won't boot up !
I can get into HBOOT, but thats it. (ie. no recovery CWM)
When trying to boot normally it hangs at spash screen.
so far i have tried:
- fastboot flashing (system.img dosn't flash (for known reasons))
- this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841890) (tried with 2 different RUUs)
everything seemed to go according to plan, but still exactly the same problem.
- I've even tried flashing back the stock spash screen via fastboot in preperation to send it back to tmobile/htc to fix BUT, despite fastboot telling me flashing was succsessful, i still have my custom splash!
- pulling my hair out!
ive got eng hboot s-off radio s-off supercid and stuff??
my hboot info screen looks like this:
ACE PVT ENG S-OFF

Which cw recovery is installed?

First question, what did you do immediately before you turned you DHD off, hence the reboot?
From the bootloader can you enter fastboot? You should be able to flash recovery from there. You mention "for known reasons" what are these?
Hi pwraggcan,
I'm not too sure? and I'm not sure how I can check either, as I can only enter hboot/fastboot.
AndyHarney,
As far as I can remember I was using my phone as normal. (no risky installs/flashes to speak of). Then overnight it ran out of battery, and now won't boot up .. ?
fastboot flash system system.img returns:
sending 'system' (410134 KB)... FAILED (remote: data length is too large)
finished. total time: 0.006s
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img returns:
sending 'recovery' (8701 KB)... OKAY [ 1.494s]
writing 'recovery'... OKAY [ 0.837s]
finished. total time: 2.331s
but when I choose 'RECOVERY' form hboot menu it still hangs on splash.

So you have recovery, and you're rooted, well I'd say install a ROM as ROMS flash system, boot and cache img files. Sending a 410mb file ofver adb seems a bit risky. Also, if you have no ROMs on the SD Card go into recovery, mounts and storage and at the bottom is usb or something.
MrYuiM,
I don't mean to act the fool, but I don't fully understand you're post.
"well I'd say install a ROM as ROMS flash system, boot and cache img files"
not sure how I can go about doing this? using fastboot?
"Also, if you have no ROMs on the SD Card go into recovery"
which ROMs do you mean? I have on my sdcard "LeeDrOiD_HD_V1.5.1.zip" and others. I also have some nandroid backups.
Currently, I have not found a way to enter recovery..
P.S I apologize for spewing my ignorance all over this thread.
Get PD98IMG.zip from my downgrade guide, put it into your SD card and go to the bootloader. Then tell us what what happens.
By the way, you still have fully warranty despite the fact that your device has S-OFF. There is nothing about software mods in warranty terms. For example mike1986 sent his phone to HTC's service center, it was S-OFF and it even had a custom ROM in it, and they did not complain.

When I asked HTC they were pretty stern on the fact that rooting voids their warranty despite it not being in the guidelines :/

To enter recovery turn your phone off completely and plug it into the charger, recovery will auto open. Also, everyone starts off somewhere.
But go with jkoljo first as he is more experienced
Hi jkoljo,
Downloading now,
It's also a big relief to hear that software modding dosn't effect warrenty *phew*

Good luck mate, report back on how it goes
Might be futile but you could try a different recovery. If you're s off it should work. Try a 2.x.x.x then a 3.x.x.x. flashing from fastboot, it could be that. If the pd98img doesn't work then it might be a faulty motherboard and htc will have to fix it.

I tried jkoljo advice, but still no dice! ... (hey that rhymes!)
One thing I noticed as it was checking SD card: -
SD Checking...
Loading...[PD98DIAG.zip]
No image!
Loading...[PD98DIAG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Loading...[PD98IMG.zip]
are those errors normal?!
just to clarify, after jkoljo's PD98IMG.zip update, I reboot and it hangs at my custom spash screen, just as before.
It's as if I hadn't tried to update/recover at all!
Anyways, Thankyou all for your help, assistance and advice.
I have to go out now, but ill be back tomorrow to try again.
It seems that you have to format your SD card. Do a full format to FAT32 (no quick format), and try it again.
Ok, formatted and tried again.
But same results as my last post.
I even tried with 2 SD's (4gb + 8gb).
Does this mean my phone is not recoverable..?
....I hope not..
oopes, delete this post please

Could you recommend one?
The only one I've ever known is CWM.
Also I don't have much faith in fastboot right now.
When I flashed my stock splash, it said 'OK' but never changed!
Thanks pwraggcan
Try flashing a different recovery while in fastboot.. Try the stock one first and if you can boot into recovery wipe data/factory reset.
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
recovery zip attached. good luck.
Thanks for the suggestion pwraggcan,
I tried that recovery.. and it flashed 'OK' but still no change from my previous attempts.
Soo... Shall I call this a write-off and let HTC deal with it..
Or are there any last ditch solutions I could be trying.
Jason9
As a last resort try the attached recovery. If this recovery doesn't work it's gotta be a hardware issue. I'm thinking if you backed up with a 2 series cw recovery then updated the recovery with rom manager to a 3 series cw recovery it won't let restore the backup. So, try the attached and fingers crossed, you're up and running. Probably won't sort it but definitely worth a try.
Hello,
I have a phone that is now stuck at white screen with green htc logo after an attempt to downgrade following this guide :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912
However i had already downloaded a PC10IMG.zip with this tool :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1521019
I first tried using the tool, but it always failed. It seemed to me the script failed on getting temproot. (I then manually downloaded the PC10IMG.zip in the .bat file just incase it was a problem with the wget it uses or something)
After that i followed the guide instead and gained temproot, changed version and gaining supercid through the goldcard method.
I then tried downgrading using the manual method using the PC10IMG.zip mentioned above (Its alot smaller than the ones mentioned in the guide. I have a suspicion it is for another phone perhaps). Bootloader recognized it and started "upgrade" process as expected. After it worked with that for a while it rebooted and since then I have been stuck on the white/green splash screen on normal boots.
I can still get into Hboot, but I cant do anything there. Nothing seems to work there. Neither volume +/-, trackpad nor powerbutton does anything.
I can also get into fastboot. This seems to work better, but when i try to flash the image then it just gives me :
D:\platform>fastboot-windows flash zip StockRom.zip
sending 'zip' (291447 KB)... FAILED (remote: 02 data length is too large)
HBOOT screen shows me the following:

MICROP-0425
RADIO-26.08.04.30_M3
I havent tried altering the contents of my SD card in fear of making things even worse.
Any tips/tricks/hint would be greatly appreciated!
Got some rather excellent help from #g2root to fix this today.
My main problem was that I had flashed the wrong img and that my Golden SD was not working correctly. Got that sorted out by using another SD and made it golden in another device.
Then proceeded to upgrade it to the newest g2 software (since that was what i had tried to do in the first place. Namely using the g2 img in a Desire Z device), downgrade it, rooted it and installed the necessary tools to get Andromadus running
Thanks to pierre_ja, skorgon, Uni_Ced and Catherall for the patience, moral support and excellent help! The amount of handholding from pierre_ja was astonishing
G2 img
Can i ask where you obtained the G2.img file, I am in a similar situation. Thanks
We used this one PC10IMG_Vision_TMOUS_2.15.531.3_Radio_12.52.60.25U_26.08.04.30_M3.zip

This is your problem, adb can't see your phone. Was it up and running when you tried this ? If so it's your adb setup. Have you used adb before on this phone ? See my signature for a link to a guide to setting up adb.

For the G2 there is a new program called mr. root, wich makes everything a bit easier, but you still need an computer to do it. So that's correct indeed.
From memory that 99 error means you used htcdev.

The cmd's seem to be working from the cmd prompt. for example the phone did go into boot loader.
The phone is in a state where it will not boot up. Fails on the htc logo.
However boot loader is not functioning, every time it directs me to clock work orange mod screen. Which does not function either
Same problem!!
Hi, im really new here, and i googled the 'symptoms' of my broken HTC desire Z and this thread came up. My phone is showing exactly the same writting as what you described, but i really really dont know why. i dont know what all these technical terms mean/do but i REALLY miss my phone and want it to work again!! I would really really REALLY appreciate any help anyone could offer me, because the warranty is up so i cant send it back!
Thank you so much!
So to get this straight, you've tried to root your phone and it went wrong. If so, can you still get into your recovery?
-Turn off phone, hold down the power and volume up button. Then ou should get your bootloader. Once that's loaded slelect recovery with your volume buttons and confirm (press "enter") by pressing your powerbutton. Then your phone should restart in recovery. If you haven't changed your recovery image, you should be able to get the stock ROM running again.-
My dad got a HTC Incredible from ebay and it will not boot. It is stuck in bootloop if I try to just boot it normally. I can get into HBoot, S-on. HBoot version is 1.02.000. Recovery does not work from here. It just goes into bootloop. I've tried flashing various images with hboot as well as using RUU. RUU always gives me a error of 140.
Anyone have any idea of what I need to do?

You need to unlock the bootloader with the htcdev site unless its already unlocked, and then fastboot flash cwm recovery img.
When I go to the HTCdev site and select the phone then "Begin Unlock Bootloader" nothing happens. I'm assuming it will download an exe or something?
I am able to get the token for the phone through fastboot but I can't seem to get the site to progress past the main screen.
Edit - For some reason Chrome would not work on the site. I had to move to IE to get the process to work.
I was able to flash clockwork recovery but now when I choose to boot into recovery I just see the white HTC Incredible screen.

Crap your right. Ok there is another way here is where fastboot comes in handy.
Download this file http://dinc.does-it.net/Guide_Root_New_Hboot/mtd0.img, and place it on your pc in the same folder as fastboot.exe, the same place you put the unlock_code.bin file. Boot to hboot with the phone connected to the pc, and open a command promt to where the files are. Then type without quotes "fastboot flash misc mtd0.img".

Hi All,
I'm hoping an expert will be able to help me. I have a Desire HD that a friend has asked me to have a look at knowing that I have tinkered around with my android phones. She said it "just happened" while she was out riding her bike one day.
Basically, all I'm getting is the green on white HTC logo regardless of what I try. I can get into HBOOT & fastboot and have tried to flash recovery.img, run RUU, flash boot.img and flash PD98IMG.zip (both via fastboot & direct from root of SD card). I obviously couldn't root the device using AAHK as I can't boot into the phone to enable USB debugging and adb obviously won't work for the same reason.
I've tried flashing both 4ext & CWM recoveries neither of which work. When I try to boot into recovery using by selecting that option in HBOOT it just goes straight back to the green on white HTC logo.
In a vein attempt to get anywhere with it I managed to "unlock" the bootloader using htcdev instructions but it hasn't succeeded in helping with the problem.
HBOOT details are as follows:

ok, are you sure that you actually flashed recovery successfully? unless you have a messed motherboard, you should be able to flash recovery image and then a custom rom.
A RUU won´t work as you have unlocked the bootloader. Make sure that you are flashing the recovery from fastboot and you get the OKAY. Finished in the cmd / terminal session.
If you need further help, just let me know. :good:

RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.26.401.3_Radio_47.23e.35.3038H_7.57.39.10M_release_261695_signed
which worked well for one year but crashed after reseting to factory settings
now..
when my bootloader is unlocked i got error 155 image error
when my bootloader is relocked i get error 140 bootloader version error
both ways it stops during verifying for signature
and on the phone it shows main version older.. update failed
have tried to place PM76IMG.zip on sdcard but the phone reads as wrong or no image
(and this goes for different RUU as well)
have tried to use fastboot via cmd commands but get
FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)
or
FAILED (remote: 43 signature verify fail)
images do load without problem but fail after signature checking
there is no other RUU newer than 2.26
cannot downgrade hboot cause cannot access my phone just hboot mode only
cannot do flash recovery as i have tried many recovery images all failing as well as clockword mode recovery image
PLEASE HELP load the ROM and make the phone usable again

Your recoverys are not flashing as you have relocked your bootloader pal. Try flashing the stock recovery from hboot this should at least have a factory reset option. Failing this, you should try re-unlocking your bootloader and then flashing cwm.
If all of this fails then you will need to gain access to an xtc clip, make the phone s-off and then flash any ruu you want bump this thread if you need anymore help

i did not make a gold card.. my phone crashed on me without consent lol..
and i cannot make one now coz there is no shell or rom on my phone.. just bootloader and thats it..
unless there is a way around to make a goldcard via fastboot menu??

What errors are you getting when trying to flash cwm via fastboot while the bootloader is unlocked. Be specific please
Also their is no other way to s-off bar the xtc clip. But, once you have s-off trouble shooting bootloader/ruu issues is far easier

Ok while unlocked, take your cwm recovery image and rename it to recovery.img if you have not already.
Then boot into fastboot and use the command
Fastboot boot recovery recovery.img
Hopefully it will boot into the recovery. This is only tempoary, do not reboot until you have wiped everything. Check and see if it boots after full wipes.
If this fails you will need a xtc clip...

Edit: the more i look into this the more it doesn't look good to be honest pal, most people who get into this state send it back to the manufacturer and get the motherboards replaced....

tried again all possibilities..
with fastboot boot recovery recovery.img it does download successfully and writes booting.. however after the phone has booted by itself the htc screen shows up (with white background) and directly goes into fastboot menu without other options...
Maybe i am uploading wrong recovery image??
if its loading into bootloader menu that means my phone is soft bricked right?? which can be undone??
my dilemma is that i live in a third world country with no htc service providers or good phone repair shops who would have an xtc clip..

The main issue is that it should still boot into the recovery via fastboot regardless of its working state from what i have read the main nand seems to have some sort of error that it cannot over write so its not letting you boot anything weither that is a fail safe or not i dont know. At this point a xtc clip would be your last hope, but i cannot guarrentee it would work... I have an xtc clip, but i dont want to post it outside of the uk ......

Were you overclocked ? Were you using some sort of memory script ?
I'd say your best option is to have it sent back, smells like a burnt motherboard.

Hi tahaice!.
I just recovered an HTC Wildfire S A510e for a friend with a problem similar to yours!
He entered on HBOOT and wiped & format some partitions: data/factory reset, system, data, sdcard, etc.....
I read quickly your problem and I think that this can help you:
1.- Download the correct RUU from: androidfiles.org/ruu/?developer=Marvel_MarvelC
For instance, I used RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.26.401.3_Radio_47.23e.35.3038H_7.57.39.10M_release_261695_signed for Spain (Device was with last update, my friend was sure).
You can check it on HBOOT:
MARVEL PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT 1.09.0099
MICROP-0451
RADIO-7.57.39.10M
Feb 8 2012, 18:29:31

And when you finish restore: go to Settings/About phone/Software info/More. Base band version must match the file you used (you will not restore radio.img, if not needed).
2.- Run the RUU until the wizard comes up. While the RUU wizard is open, find the temporary folder it created. (Open Explorer in Windows and type %temp% in the navigation bar.) There will be folders with long names (C:\Users\lefe\AppData\Local\Temp\{9739F95A-99D7-43BA-8AB6-E4F02264D361}\{50F2F878-636A-496F-A7CB-544C067E0C4B} for instance).
Inside one of them you will find the file rom.zip from RUU. Open it with 7zip and extract recovery.img, boot.img and system.img. Put it in the location you preffer (C:\Users\lefe\HTC Wildfire S A510e\ADB in the example).
You also need adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll and fastboot.exe. Copy from the folder you found the file rom.zip (or from Android SDK tools if you have installed it).
3.- Boot the phone into bootloader (power off, hold down volume and press power) and highlight FASTBOOT using the volume rocker and pressing power. Then connect the USB cable. You should see FASTBOOT USB.
As you say, this is not needed in your case because your phone goes directly. Just plug.
4.- Open a command prompt in Windows and navigate to the folder where you unpacked ADB / installed Android SDK tools. Flash the stock images extracted in step 2 above using the following commands (Remember to turn your firewall off):
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Example (what I did):
Code:
C:\Users\lefe\HTC Wildfire S A510e\ADB>fastboot flash boot boot.img
sending 'boot' (2870 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.336s]
writing 'boot'...
OKAY [ 1.650s]
finished. total time: 2.994s
C:\Users\lefe\HTC Wildfire S A510e\ADB>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (3494 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.572s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 1.970s]
finished. total time: 3.554s
C:\Users\lefe\HTC Wildfire S A510e\ADB>fastboot flash system system.img
sending 'system' (259862 KB)...
OKAY [ 31.535s]
writing 'system'...
OKAY [ 64.846s]
finished. total time: 96.393s
5.- Finally, in your phone go to HBOOT menu and make a FACTORY RESET.
If needed, PowerOff device (remove battery for 3 seconds) and Boot the phone into bootloader (hold down volume and press power).
That's all!!.
I hope you get lucky!

Ops!?!?..., Can you detail these errors?.
I'm also reading your message bellow about erasing Userdata...:$, detail also this scenario so we can think about your concret issues.
Keep fighting till you're sure there's nothing to do...
